The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Tulsi Gabbard & Alan Dershowitz ｜ 5⧸22⧸24

00:00:00.000 Holy cow, we start today's podcast with what is your trillion dollars that our government is

00:00:10.360 spending every 100 days? What are we getting for it? Besides, unbelievable prices. We go through

00:00:17.420 the price increase at places like McDonald's right off the bat and what they're doing to change

00:00:23.460 everything in our life, including now Alcoholics Anonymous. It's crazy. Then we have a great

00:00:30.460 conversation with Tulsi Gabbard, who I really disagree with politically, but she loves the

00:00:37.040 nation and she may be offered a spot somewhere in Donald Trump's cabinet or it's been rumored even

00:00:44.560 vice president. You have to hear the interview with Tulsi Gabbard, followed by Alan Dershowitz,

00:00:50.420 who has written an op-ed on what he saw in the courtroom on the final day of the defense

00:00:59.240 before they rested. This judge is completely out of control. Alan Dershowitz said, I haven't even seen

00:01:06.840 this kind of stuff happening in Russia. That's a little frightening. And Leah McGee joins us again

00:01:13.840 from Davidson County in North Carolina with an update on a school board that is, and we've seen

00:01:22.000 them out of control, probably the most out of control I've seen a school board. You've got to

00:01:29.120 hear her story and help all on today's podcast. First, let me tell you about relief factor. What

00:01:36.000 are you missing out on these days because of pain? What do you think you could do better if you felt

00:01:40.580 better? Have you tried everything you can think of to get rid of pain? I know I thought I had. I had

00:01:46.720 gone to some of the best doctors. I went to the Mayo Clinic. Anything to stop the pain, they couldn't

00:01:52.700 figure out how to solve it. When my wife said try relief factor, I'm like, honey, we've been to

00:01:58.880 Columbia, NYU, Mayo Clinic. You think, like, I don't know, natural herbs and spices that the colonel uses in

00:02:07.940 chicken, I think, is going to help? She said, try it. I did. Believe it or not, it worked. It is all

00:02:15.600 natural ingredients. It's a unique formula. It's nothing like Kentucky fried chicken, as I found out.

00:02:22.500 And it actually reduces the inflammation in your body. It's where your pain starts. And it doesn't

00:02:29.460 mask your pain for a short time. It helps reduce or even eliminate it. Over a million people have tried

00:02:35.260 relief factor. Give it a try for yourself. Go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:02:48.600 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:02.620 Well, yes, Glenn, good to have you here, too. You know, the Blaze TV listeners are demanding

00:03:09.280 a video appearance. They want to see the Phantom. They want to see the Phantom. Yeah, they can handle it.

00:03:14.940 That's what they're saying. You know, in the first part of the Phantom of the Opera, he's wearing

00:03:18.360 the mask. And you're like, you know, I'm cool with that. And

00:03:22.180 then when he takes the mask off, you're like, ooh, he should put that back on.

00:03:27.780 It's a lesson. I mean, you could probably pull some information

00:03:30.240 out of that for your own life.

00:03:32.120 Right.

00:03:32.240 That has nothing to do with my eye surgery, right?

00:03:37.080 Right. Oh, yeah.

00:03:39.360 So I, yesterday at the Blaze, they were like, please, the, you know, Blaze subscribers are

00:03:46.500 calling and blah, blah, blah. And I don't believe any of it. I think this is somebody,

00:03:51.080 somebody that works at the Blaze who's just like, we got to have him on camera looking like

00:03:55.940 a monster. Yeah, someone. Who knows who it could be? I don't know. I don't have a name,

00:04:04.820 but it's someone. Yeah, probably a three-lettered person like Tom. Anyway, so I've put on sunglasses.

00:04:14.480 I hate having to wear the sunglasses. Should I wear the sunglasses or my regular glasses, Stu?

00:04:20.860 I think the sunglasses is a good look on you. Oh, is it? Is it a good look for me? It's a good

00:04:26.080 look. Okay. So we're going to do parts of the show. If you're a video subscriber, there I am in

00:04:32.680 my glory. You can't really see anything because you don't want to see it. But so you can, there.

00:04:42.020 Are you happy Blaze subscribers? Is this somehow or another you're like, ooh, yes. Oh yeah,

00:04:47.160 more sunglasses. And you know, Glenn, you're kind of like the elementary school kid who goes away for

00:04:52.300 chemotherapy and comes back without hair. Then everyone in their class shaves their head. So

00:04:57.000 I just want to be supportive with you right now. And oh, you're going to put the shades on. I will

00:05:01.580 also wear sunglasses for today's show. Unfortunately, we're going to have to go back and forth because

00:05:06.920 I have to keep ice on my face all the time. Yesterday I had my, I did the whole show with my face in a

00:05:13.380 bag of ice. So, but anyway. Well, I'm not putting ice on my face. I'm not putting my ice on my face

00:05:21.520 to support you, but I'll wear the sunglasses. I appreciate the sunglasses too. Okay. So where do

00:05:27.060 we even start today? I mean, did, did you read the story about Alan Dershowitz, his op-ed? Yeah,

00:05:35.480 he was angry, shocked, stunned. He's going to be joining us. He's going to be joining us in about

00:05:43.260 90 minutes. He is, I'm anxious to see what he says about, you know, because he's been saying we're so

00:05:48.900 close to a banana republic. And I'm anxious to see what he has to say because it, he was in the 0.87

00:05:57.580 courtroom yesterday. I think it was the last day of the defense, defense rested. And the attorney,

00:06:05.700 the very credible attorney that was giving testimony. Costello, yeah. Yeah, Costello. When

00:06:15.700 he was giving testimony, there was an objection from the prosecution without even asking, you know,

00:06:23.260 what's your objection? Granted. And it, it struck a good portion of his testimony away. And there was

00:06:32.480 nothing, according to Dershowitz, there was nothing wrong with it. And that's when, uh, Costello, who

00:06:38.700 again is a, is an attorney, raised his eyebrows, looked at the judge and raised his eyebrows like

00:06:45.660 what? And that pissed the judge off so much that he, uh, cleared the courtroom. And he said,

00:06:54.540 you do that to me again, and I'll strike every bit of your testimony, uh, from the record.

00:07:02.620 Dershowitz said he was allowing things that had no relevance for the prosecution, uh, for the, um, uh,

00:07:10.500 in the case for the prosecution, allowing that all in and then striking probably the death blow, uh,

00:07:20.560 to this whole case from Costello. He was threatening to, uh, get rid of all of it. And Dershowitz said,

00:07:28.720 I've, I've seen court in Russia and I have never seen anything like this. He said, this case should

00:07:37.060 have been on television. He said, because I, I was there. He said, for some reason, I was the only

00:07:43.020 one allowed to remain in the courtroom. Everybody else was cleared out. And he said, I saw what this

00:07:49.660 judge did. And he said, and then I went home and I saw what the reporters were allowed to see and what

00:07:59.220 they were reporting on, which I also saw. And he said, it was not the same. He said, Americans are 0.85

00:08:06.960 losing on this. They have no idea what's going on. You think it was bad. Dershowitz yesterday being

00:08:14.340 in the courtroom said, this is, this is a monstrosity of a trial. And the whole thing has

00:08:19.820 been a monstrosity. The fact that it's getting seemingly worse now at the end is, is, uh, I don't

00:08:25.160 know if it's not, I don't know what I would say what's surprising, but it is something that is so

00:08:30.140 disturbing. I think the only thing that, that, that you can kind of hold up and, and maybe take solace in

00:08:35.840 if you're the Trump side is that this has been, I think, obvious to a lot of people that this was

00:08:40.800 the weakest one coming in. And it's been, it's actually gone worse. I would argue than you would

00:08:46.520 even think. Dershowitz said, there's no way this stands. They can rule whatever they want. He said,

00:08:51.940 but this, none of this will stand. The question though, does that matter? I mean, if he gets this

00:08:56.720 thing overturned in March, 2025, I mean, what, what good does that do him if he, if he's, if it hurts

00:09:02.320 him for his election chances? And let me just tell you, let me just tell you America, you know,

00:09:06.440 they always say that, um, it's the economy stupid and that's why check on this, Stu. I read a story 0.99

00:09:15.280 today and I, I hate to say this, um, but I read it in a story and it was a credible source, but I'd like

00:09:23.840 a second source on this because this seems insane that the, however many gallons or barrels

00:09:31.080 that Biden is releasing from the strategic oil reserve, he's doing it from the strategic oil

00:09:38.000 reserve in the Northeast, which will empty our gas oil or gas reserves in the Northeast.

00:09:47.040 That can't be true. I don't know if it's, it is not the, yeah, this is not the strategic oil

00:09:52.500 reserve, right? This is the strategic gasoline reserve. Correct. And it is coming from the Northeast

00:09:57.340 in, you know, seemingly an attempt to buy a bunch of votes, uh, with lower gas prices. Uh, but I will

00:10:03.480 check on the, on what the reserve levels are and I'll look like I'm doing it seriously in these

00:10:07.200 sunglasses. Thank you. Me too. I'm, I, I'm, I'm glad we can get very serious. Look me into the eye.

00:10:12.560 You don't want to do that. Anyway. Um, the, I just want people to understand

00:10:19.540 if you think it's bad now, what do you think it's going to be like in another four years of this

00:10:32.820 right now? McDonald's has their $5 value meal. They came out yesterday and said, we can't do this

00:10:40.800 for very long because it's absolutely unsustainable, but we're trying to give people a

00:10:46.540 break. When's the last time you went to McDonald's and you spent under $5, under $10. If you've gone

00:10:54.680 for yourself, it's probably 10 to $12. You go with two people, you go with four people, you know,

00:11:00.740 your family, you're probably up to 40 bucks at McDonald's. Listen to the price increases. This is

00:11:08.360 the first numbers will be during Trump, French fries, $1 79 Biden for 19. That's an increase of

00:11:17.420 134%. Uh, the McChicken, $1 29. Now it's three 89, a 201% increase. Uh, the big Mac was, let me see

00:11:31.980 three 99. Oh my, that can't be right. Hang on. Take me off the screen. I have to take my glasses off and

00:11:38.000 put my actual glasses on to make sure this is right. Uh, the big Mac was three 99. It's now seven

00:11:50.060 49 10 McNuggets was four 99. It's now seven 58. A cheeseburger was a dollar. It's now three 15 that

00:12:01.980 that's, uh, how, how, what do you think is going to happen? People at the bottom of the ladder,

00:12:12.940 they always say, we're for the working person. We're for the, no, you're not. They're for the

00:12:17.480 very wealthy who's getting wealthy right now. Who is not having a problem? The people who are not

00:12:25.040 having a problem are the people who have lots and lots of money and are invested in the stock

00:12:31.280 market. Now you might be invested in a stock market in your 401k, but that's not what that's not the

00:12:38.260 same. The, the corporations are getting all kinds of deals from the government. If they play along

00:12:46.480 all kinds of deals from the government, uh, and they're, they're putting all of that extra money

00:12:54.540 and especially the banks, all of it into the stock market. That's what's happening. The rich. And I

00:13:01.840 don't mean the rich. I mean the Uber rich and the giant corporations. I mean the people who are trust

00:13:08.880 fund people and the giant corporations, they are clearing the table every day. They're clearing

00:13:17.360 the table. There won't be a middle class in this country in another four years. It won't exist. 0.96

00:13:26.460 They, you know, I, I wondered when we first wrote the great reset, I wondered how do you,

00:13:34.340 how do you in, in, by 2030 arrive to a place where you will own nothing and you will like it,

00:13:42.840 especially in a country that is all about ownership. I mean, look at what's happening

00:13:48.920 just to your insurance. How much is your car insurance? How much is your home insurance?

00:13:56.500 Why did that go up so much? Guess who's playing ball with the administration,

00:14:02.360 the insurance companies. When they start raising your insurance, you can't afford to own what you

00:14:11.080 own. You want to get rid of guns? Great. Make your, make your insurance for gun ownership through the

00:14:19.280 roof and the average person won't be able to buy it. And they haven't done anything unconstitutional.

00:14:24.760 No, we're just going with the market. Bullcrap. Bullcrap. All of this stuff, we have to begin to 0.97

00:14:33.940 explain to our families and our neighbors, this is not normal. This is not Jimmy Carter.

00:14:45.280 You know, Jimmy Carter was a series of horrible blunders. And yes, he had socialist tendencies,

00:14:52.480 but it's not the same as it was with Jimmy Carter. We're on the edge. We didn't have the

00:14:59.340 debt with Jimmy Carter. We didn't have the fractured society without God. Did you hear

00:15:06.720 what's happening with AA, Stu? Let me take a quick break. I mean, you want to talk about they're

00:15:13.120 destroying everything. When, when you get down to destroying AA, you have a society that is,

00:15:23.560 is just hell bent on, you know, living in hell, honestly.

00:15:31.060 Here's another big problem that we have. Stock market is up. Okay. Do you believe,

00:15:37.960 can you explain to me how the stock market is going up? There are stories after stories where

00:15:45.060 people, there are three stories in today's show prep that you can get at glenbeck.com,

00:15:49.580 three stories where people are putting all of their food or good portions of their food

00:15:55.840 on their credit card. I think it was over 30% of Americans are doing that because they can't

00:16:03.140 afford it. How are these companies? I'll tell you how it's all a magic game. What's not a game is gold

00:16:14.280 and silver. Put your money in the stock market. You can do that, but please, please consider putting 10%

00:16:23.560 of what you have in something that is not going to be paid back to you in dollars. When dollars are

00:16:30.980 worthless, you're playing at a craps table when you're on the stock, playing in the stock market,

00:16:38.080 keep, you know, keep a lot of money in there if you want, but please protect some of your money

00:16:43.180 with gold or silver. I want you to call this number and get all of the information on how to protect

00:16:48.960 your wealth. 800-957-GOLD. 800-957-GOLD. Call them now. They'll accredit $250 towards your purchase.

00:17:00.560 If you mention my name, 800-957-GOLD. Now back to the podcast.

00:17:08.640 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:12.640 Tulsi Gabbard, welcome to the program. How are you?

00:17:16.600 Very good, my friend. How are you?

00:17:18.720 I'm good. I'm good. Are you in Hawaii right now?

00:17:24.320 I'm in Virginia today and tomorrow and Texas the day after. I'm on the road living out of a suitcase.

00:17:32.340 Oh boy. So first of all, you know, you're on a short list and I'm not going to ask you,

00:17:39.120 you know, anything other than have you had a conversation with him

00:17:42.420 about being vice president?

00:17:45.660 I've spoken to him. I won't, I won't talk about what we spoke about, but I've met and spoken to

00:17:51.560 him. Would you serve in any capacity in a Trump administration?

00:17:58.180 I would serve in a capacity where I felt that I could actually be effective in helping to get our

00:18:06.880 country back on track, both in domestic policy and foreign policy.

00:18:12.340 So Tulsi, you know, I respect you.

00:18:14.740 I really like you. We disagree on things.

00:18:17.700 You were a former Bernie Sanders supporter.

00:18:22.120 You know, but I also know you love the Constitution

00:18:27.560 and America and the country.

00:18:30.400 And just finding somebody who loves America

00:18:33.400 is very hard to find right now.

00:18:35.800 Can you help me out on understanding

00:18:39.800 the Bernie Sanders to,

00:18:43.320 you know, I'd be willing to serve in a Trump administration?

00:18:47.740 Of course. I'm glad you asked because

00:18:50.340 it is on its face kind of a

00:18:53.540 big mental, a mental leap.

00:18:56.300 But when you actually look at the reason

00:18:58.760 when I made that announcement back in 2016

00:19:01.500 to resign as vice chair of the DNC

00:19:04.980 so that I could get involved in that Democratic presidential primary,

00:19:09.880 I focused on one thing.

00:19:12.240 I announced my endorsement of Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton

00:19:15.320 around foreign policy.

00:19:18.100 Bernie Sanders of today is

00:19:20.240 even different now than

00:19:22.700 he was back then on this,

00:19:24.820 on some of these foreign policy issues.

00:19:26.660 But there was a very clear contrast

00:19:28.860 between Hillary Clinton, 0.99

00:19:30.880 the queen of warmongers,

00:19:32.180 and Bernie Sanders,

00:19:33.500 who has for a long time

00:19:35.140 largely been more of a non-interventionist.

00:19:38.120 And I was frustrated

00:19:39.720 because as an officer of the DNC,

00:19:41.280 I couldn't,

00:19:42.660 you know,

00:19:42.900 according to the rules,

00:19:44.120 get involved or speak out publicly.

00:19:46.560 But as you remember,

00:19:48.280 Glenn,

00:19:48.700 people were saying that Hillary Clinton

00:19:49.960 was the most qualified person

00:19:51.500 ever to run for president

00:19:52.640 in the history of our country.

00:19:53.800 But of course,

00:19:55.740 I know,

00:19:56.320 I still laugh when I think about that.

00:19:58.680 And it wasn't just her campaign people

00:20:00.680 who were saying this,

00:20:01.480 it was supposedly serious people

00:20:04.220 on, you know,

00:20:05.200 the different cable shows

00:20:06.420 and the broadcast news shows

00:20:08.040 and the meet the press type shows.

00:20:10.540 But they never went beyond,

00:20:13.120 okay, well,

00:20:13.640 she's held this title

00:20:14.660 and that title

00:20:15.280 and that title.

00:20:16.360 They would never go into

00:20:17.820 what her record actually was,

00:20:19.920 the kinds of decisions that she made,

00:20:21.620 the things that she influenced

00:20:23.000 and urged President Obama

00:20:24.180 to do with his secretary of state.

00:20:26.600 And for me,

00:20:27.180 as an American citizen,

00:20:28.380 as a soldier

00:20:29.080 and a veteran

00:20:29.700 of various wars and conflicts,

00:20:32.380 I felt strongly about the fact

00:20:34.720 that Hillary Clinton

00:20:35.480 would be the most dangerous

00:20:36.980 president and commander-in-chief

00:20:38.820 for our country,

00:20:40.020 our freedom,

00:20:40.780 our security,

00:20:41.400 and our liberty.

00:20:42.420 And so I took the opportunity

00:20:43.740 to make that endorsement

00:20:45.980 of Bernie Sanders

00:20:46.760 around that issue

00:20:47.960 so that I could have a platform

00:20:49.680 to call her out directly

00:20:52.000 to the American people

00:20:53.200 so that at a minimum

00:20:54.300 they could make

00:20:55.560 a more informed decision

00:20:57.520 about who they wanted

00:20:58.980 to be the Democratic presidential nominee

00:21:02.140 for that time.

00:21:03.400 And I did that.

00:21:04.480 So that explains an awful lot.

00:21:07.260 The State Department,

00:21:08.840 you know,

00:21:10.300 has been off the rails

00:21:12.020 for a hundred years.

00:21:14.000 And they're very warmongering.

00:21:17.640 What's happening in Ukraine

00:21:19.240 is obscene.

00:21:22.420 And strangely,

00:21:24.600 I think since Ronald Reagan,

00:21:27.160 and I think even more so

00:21:29.440 than Ronald Reagan,

00:21:30.360 but it was a different time,

00:21:31.580 Donald Trump is the least,

00:21:35.460 he understands peace

00:21:37.560 through strength,

00:21:38.560 but he is the least likely

00:21:41.160 to go to war,

00:21:42.020 and yet the left keeps saying

00:21:43.960 he's a warmonger.

00:21:46.680 It's their tried and true tactic,

00:21:49.140 and you see them doing this

00:21:50.520 not only with, you know,

00:21:53.360 an issue as serious

00:21:54.600 as war and peace,

00:21:56.600 but you also see

00:21:57.900 how they're doing it

00:21:58.700 around democracy.

00:22:00.460 You know,

00:22:01.220 they're claiming

00:22:01.660 he will be the dictator-in-chief

00:22:03.340 and this will be

00:22:03.920 the last election

00:22:04.860 that's ever held

00:22:05.580 if he wins

00:22:06.360 and so on and so forth,

00:22:07.540 yet we look at

00:22:08.740 how they're weaponizing

00:22:09.680 the Department of Justice

00:22:10.820 and all that they are doing

00:22:12.600 both to target

00:22:13.560 and prosecute,

00:22:15.180 throwing everything

00:22:15.800 in the kitchen sink

00:22:16.620 at Donald Trump,

00:22:17.400 but also going after

00:22:18.920 everyday Americans

00:22:19.960 whose names

00:22:21.460 will never be

00:22:22.140 in the headlines

00:22:22.920 because they are

00:22:24.400 the quote-unquote

00:22:25.120 political opposition,

00:22:27.180 the undermining

00:22:27.880 of free speech,

00:22:28.700 the undermining

00:22:29.340 of the rule of law,

00:22:30.540 and yet they cloak

00:22:32.200 all of this

00:22:32.920 and try to distract

00:22:34.200 and deflect attention

00:22:35.540 away from

00:22:36.440 the American people

00:22:38.180 and the reality

00:22:39.960 of how they are

00:22:40.820 destroying our democracy

00:22:42.080 right before our very eyes,

00:22:43.600 and they do so

00:22:44.280 by saying Donald Trump

00:22:45.360 is the biggest enemy

00:22:46.260 of democracy.

00:22:47.540 They're doing the same thing

00:22:48.500 around foreign policy.

00:22:50.320 The thing that I'm urging

00:22:51.500 Americans to do 0.59

00:22:52.480 across the country,

00:22:53.340 both through my book

00:22:54.300 For Love of Country,

00:22:55.200 but also in every platform

00:22:57.360 or speech where people

00:22:58.460 will have me,

00:23:00.080 is to look at the facts.

00:23:02.360 This is the first time

00:23:03.200 in our lifetimes

00:23:03.900 we've had a presidential election

00:23:05.500 where we actually have

00:23:07.260 two people who served

00:23:08.560 in the White House

00:23:09.400 with a very real record

00:23:10.940 for us to examine.

00:23:12.600 And take the emotions aside.

00:23:16.100 People have strong feelings

00:23:17.220 one way or the other,

00:23:18.340 and that's what a lot

00:23:20.920 of the Democrats

00:23:21.500 and Biden people focus on

00:23:23.480 because they're afraid

00:23:24.500 that we will actually

00:23:25.760 compare and contrast

00:23:27.480 their record

00:23:28.560 on border security,

00:23:30.320 on education,

00:23:31.800 on fairness for women

00:23:33.400 and girls

00:23:34.000 in sports and education,

00:23:35.740 on the economy

00:23:36.700 and inflation,

00:23:38.500 you know,

00:23:38.800 the list on criminal

00:23:40.760 justice reform,

00:23:41.940 something that Democrats

00:23:42.740 claim to be for.

00:23:44.540 And also, of course,

00:23:45.580 first and foremost,

00:23:46.920 foreign policy

00:23:47.760 and how secure

00:23:48.900 is our country today

00:23:50.660 and where are

00:23:51.980 our taxpayer dollars

00:23:53.560 being dedicated

00:23:54.900 in each of these areas

00:23:56.940 and more.

00:23:57.520 There's a very clear contrast

00:23:58.880 between President Biden

00:24:00.260 and President Trump.

00:24:01.240 And to me,

00:24:01.800 what it all comes down to

00:24:03.000 are the two most

00:24:05.100 core critical questions

00:24:06.700 that, as you pointed out,

00:24:07.860 are rooted

00:24:08.420 in the Constitution

00:24:09.900 is, number one,

00:24:12.620 who actually

00:24:14.100 has served

00:24:15.780 the interests

00:24:16.620 of the American people

00:24:18.180 and our country

00:24:18.920 and our ability

00:24:19.560 to live in a safe,

00:24:21.220 free, peaceful

00:24:22.200 and prosperous society?

00:24:24.760 And number two,

00:24:26.220 who has

00:24:27.200 either defended

00:24:29.360 or assaulted

00:24:30.800 our fundamental rights

00:24:32.260 and freedoms

00:24:32.760 that are enshrined

00:24:33.520 in the Constitution?

00:24:34.840 Freedom of speech,

00:24:35.960 freedom of expression,

00:24:37.140 freedom of religion,

00:24:38.420 are civil liberties

00:24:40.260 guaranteed by

00:24:41.200 the Fourth Amendment?

00:24:42.540 And again,

00:24:43.300 when you look

00:24:43.920 at these metrics,

00:24:46.960 there is no question

00:24:48.760 about the difference

00:24:49.760 between President Biden

00:24:50.880 and President Trump.

00:24:52.240 Let me ask you,

00:24:57.340 why should somebody,

00:24:58.980 and I don't mean this

00:24:59.980 just to you,

00:25:00.900 I mean this for anybody,

00:25:02.100 even, you know,

00:25:03.280 Joe Biden,

00:25:03.800 Donald Trump,

00:25:04.920 why should we believe

00:25:06.440 when we have not seen

00:25:07.720 one for a very long time,

00:25:09.540 and when they do believe this,

00:25:11.720 they're called extremists,

00:25:13.200 why should we believe

00:25:14.980 anybody,

00:25:15.880 or you,

00:25:16.920 that you actually,

00:25:18.300 your oath of office

00:25:20.680 would mean

00:25:21.640 what it says,

00:25:23.180 that you will protect

00:25:24.820 the Constitution

00:25:26.180 and the Bill of Rights?

00:25:29.340 I think with anybody

00:25:30.800 and everyone,

00:25:32.320 it is,

00:25:32.940 it is,

00:25:33.680 you know,

00:25:34.700 going back to the old adage,

00:25:36.440 trust but verify

00:25:37.380 and hold people accountable.

00:25:39.980 And that,

00:25:40.920 that is true of,

00:25:42.040 of me

00:25:42.600 and of anyone

00:25:43.720 asking for

00:25:44.980 the trust

00:25:46.120 and confidence

00:25:46.840 of the American people.

00:25:48.580 I think part of that

00:25:49.860 is recognizing

00:25:50.980 that as the world

00:25:52.640 changes,

00:25:53.440 as the country

00:25:54.200 changes,

00:25:55.420 there has to be

00:25:57.140 room

00:25:57.720 for people

00:25:58.620 to

00:25:59.300 learn

00:26:01.360 and grow

00:26:02.180 from

00:26:02.800 these changing

00:26:04.000 circumstances.

00:26:04.800 I think a lot

00:26:05.480 of the problems

00:26:06.080 that we're seeing

00:26:07.300 in a lot of

00:26:08.540 the political

00:26:09.120 divides,

00:26:10.220 and I get it,

00:26:11.000 trust is earned,

00:26:12.460 but,

00:26:13.300 but there,

00:26:13.820 in order for there

00:26:14.820 to be progress,

00:26:15.880 we have to allow

00:26:17.080 people to,

00:26:18.060 to grow

00:26:18.680 and,

00:26:19.220 and change

00:26:20.080 based on the

00:26:21.440 circumstances.

00:26:22.640 You know,

00:26:23.060 we,

00:26:23.300 we've seen,

00:26:24.140 I think,

00:26:24.580 over these last

00:26:25.420 five or six years,

00:26:26.500 or especially

00:26:27.280 during,

00:26:27.940 during the Obama,

00:26:28.980 I'm sorry,

00:26:30.000 during the Biden

00:26:30.720 administration,

00:26:32.260 we,

00:26:33.360 we have seen

00:26:34.360 what an increasingly

00:26:35.680 tyrannical government

00:26:36.820 looks like,

00:26:37.540 and we are seeing

00:26:39.220 how our founding

00:26:40.600 fathers

00:26:41.040 were so wise

00:26:43.280 in recognizing

00:26:44.480 that our democracy,

00:26:45.880 this form of

00:26:46.500 governance that we

00:26:47.280 have in this

00:26:47.880 constitutional republic

00:26:49.060 through,

00:26:49.520 through this

00:26:50.000 representative democracy

00:26:51.620 is very fragile,

00:26:53.180 and how people

00:26:54.520 in positions of

00:26:55.380 power are often

00:26:56.240 tempted and may

00:26:57.320 fall to that

00:26:58.100 temptation

00:26:58.660 of abuse of

00:27:00.040 power.

00:27:00.900 And so we have

00:27:01.820 this system of

00:27:02.720 checks and balances

00:27:03.860 through three

00:27:04.640 co-equal branches

00:27:05.460 of government.

00:27:06.160 We have this

00:27:06.680 system of checks

00:27:07.400 and balances

00:27:07.960 through the

00:27:09.280 constitution,

00:27:09.960 our first amendment,

00:27:10.660 and our second

00:27:11.260 amendment,

00:27:12.020 for the power

00:27:13.380 to always

00:27:14.620 favor the voices

00:27:17.820 and the power

00:27:18.660 of a free people

00:27:19.500 and a free society.

00:27:21.140 I would never

00:27:22.000 have imagined,

00:27:23.000 Glenn,

00:27:23.200 in my lifetime

00:27:23.900 that we would

00:27:24.720 see such

00:27:25.700 brazen,

00:27:26.660 abusive power.

00:27:28.040 And it's not

00:27:29.460 only just

00:27:30.240 a failure

00:27:32.360 to uphold

00:27:32.920 the constitution,

00:27:33.740 the democrat elite

00:27:34.740 are actively

00:27:36.200 destroying the

00:27:37.640 constitution

00:27:38.300 in broad daylight

00:27:39.780 and telling us,

00:27:41.360 no, we don't

00:27:41.980 think the first

00:27:43.000 amendment is

00:27:43.620 relevant today

00:27:44.380 because of

00:27:45.080 misinformation,

00:27:45.960 disinformation,

00:27:46.700 hate speech,

00:27:47.100 all of the

00:27:47.560 excuses that

00:27:48.360 they give,

00:27:49.720 which are very

00:27:50.280 dangerous.

00:27:50.860 They tell us

00:27:51.440 that, no,

00:27:52.200 the second

00:27:52.580 amendment

00:27:53.000 shouldn't apply

00:27:54.640 because, and

00:27:55.280 they cite all

00:27:55.940 of these different

00:27:56.540 statistics of

00:27:57.420 tragedies that

00:27:58.480 occur in our

00:27:59.060 country,

00:27:59.820 but that ultimately

00:28:00.880 taking guns away

00:28:02.140 from law-abiding

00:28:03.160 Americans would

00:28:04.540 not actually

00:28:05.900 prevent those

00:28:08.100 types of tragedies

00:28:09.720 from occurring.

00:28:11.540 It would make

00:28:11.880 it more dangerous

00:28:12.640 and it denies

00:28:13.760 the reality

00:28:14.540 that we have

00:28:15.640 faced throughout,

00:28:16.720 I think,

00:28:17.040 the history of

00:28:17.620 humanity is that

00:28:18.440 if you have a

00:28:19.640 person who seeks

00:28:20.460 to do harm to

00:28:21.220 others,

00:28:21.780 they will find

00:28:22.860 a way to do

00:28:23.920 so,

00:28:24.640 unfortunately.

00:28:26.320 And, you

00:28:26.900 know, so,

00:28:27.400 go ahead.

00:28:29.480 No,

00:28:30.120 finish your

00:28:31.060 thoughts,

00:28:31.500 please.

00:28:31.780 I don't want

00:28:32.100 to interrupt you.

00:28:32.940 They will find

00:28:33.620 a way to do

00:28:34.320 so.

00:28:34.800 It's incumbent

00:28:35.660 upon us

00:28:36.540 now, again,

00:28:38.520 to understand

00:28:39.560 and recognize

00:28:40.420 the seriousness

00:28:41.480 of this moment

00:28:42.420 and the fact

00:28:43.620 that they are

00:28:44.200 doing all these

00:28:44.940 things because

00:28:45.500 they're afraid

00:28:46.180 of the power

00:28:46.800 of a free

00:28:47.240 people.

00:28:48.300 But we are

00:28:49.000 only powerful

00:28:49.660 if we hold

00:28:50.180 on to that

00:28:50.660 power.

00:28:51.520 Tulsi, when

00:28:51.880 you were in

00:28:52.240 town, I'd

00:28:52.580 love to do

00:28:52.960 another podcast

00:28:53.560 with you because

00:28:54.240 I find you

00:28:54.880 fascinating and

00:28:55.720 I actually think

00:28:56.520 you could be

00:28:57.020 a huge help

00:28:58.720 to bringing

00:28:59.800 our country

00:29:00.340 back together.

00:29:01.940 But the time

00:29:03.260 is so short

00:29:03.800 here.

00:29:04.320 I wanted

00:29:05.940 to ask

00:29:06.400 you, you

00:29:07.020 know, one

00:29:07.400 of the things

00:29:08.060 that if I

00:29:08.580 were President

00:29:09.080 Trump, I

00:29:09.760 would actually

00:29:10.220 consider you

00:29:10.780 as a vice

00:29:11.220 presidential

00:29:11.660 candidate to

00:29:12.380 unite the

00:29:12.900 country, you

00:29:14.600 know, after

00:29:14.980 much discussion.

00:29:16.240 But the one

00:29:16.920 thing I know I

00:29:17.880 would feel

00:29:18.220 comfortable appointing

00:29:19.180 you to is

00:29:19.760 Secretary of

00:29:20.600 Defense.

00:29:21.620 Our military

00:29:22.760 is a mess

00:29:24.740 and it's

00:29:25.580 because we

00:29:26.140 have all of

00:29:26.900 these woke

00:29:27.520 generals and

00:29:28.420 all of these

00:29:28.980 political

00:29:29.380 appointments,

00:29:29.900 they've all

00:29:30.300 risen to the

00:29:30.840 top.

00:29:31.100 The problem

00:29:31.700 doesn't appear

00:29:33.020 to me to

00:29:33.840 be below the

00:29:36.600 general and

00:29:38.000 all of their

00:29:38.940 apparatus around

00:29:40.980 them.

00:29:42.040 If you were

00:29:43.000 Secretary of

00:29:43.700 Defense, could

00:29:45.580 you clean this

00:29:46.420 up?

00:29:46.800 Is it fixable?

00:29:48.620 Yes.

00:29:51.100 Yes.

00:29:51.580 Unequivocally,

00:29:52.580 yes.

00:29:53.720 And your

00:29:54.440 diagnosis is

00:29:55.380 correct.

00:29:56.720 You know, it's

00:29:57.180 not by accident

00:29:58.780 that the kinds

00:30:01.020 of general

00:30:01.560 officers that

00:30:02.400 are rising

00:30:02.880 through the

00:30:03.360 ranks are

00:30:03.920 those who

00:30:04.840 are advocating

00:30:06.060 for these

00:30:06.880 so-called woke

00:30:07.860 slash DEI,

00:30:09.960 whatever policies.

00:30:11.500 The reason why

00:30:12.160 they've gotten

00:30:12.620 there is because

00:30:13.260 of their

00:30:13.760 civilian

00:30:14.220 leadership,

00:30:15.640 picking and

00:30:16.340 choosing people

00:30:17.240 who, who,

00:30:18.620 will not, I

00:30:19.200 mean, obviously

00:30:19.560 we have a

00:30:19.840 civilian-led

00:30:20.320 military.

00:30:21.300 Those in

00:30:21.920 uniform will

00:30:22.660 follow the

00:30:23.180 policies that

00:30:23.840 are set by

00:30:24.400 the civilian

00:30:24.880 leaders.

00:30:25.840 But these

00:30:26.300 civilian leaders,

00:30:27.180 Secretary Austin

00:30:28.100 and the

00:30:28.800 different secretaries

00:30:29.700 of each branch

00:30:30.320 of the military,

00:30:31.120 they are promoting

00:30:32.020 careerists who

00:30:33.900 have played it

00:30:34.660 safe, who have

00:30:35.700 done whatever

00:30:36.940 they needed to

00:30:37.540 do to go along

00:30:38.420 and get along,

00:30:39.220 to rise through

00:30:39.940 the ranks, and

00:30:41.060 have not been in

00:30:42.120 those positions

00:30:42.800 and have

00:30:43.280 intentionally so,

00:30:44.900 not been in

00:30:45.640 those combat-hardened

00:30:47.120 positions where

00:30:47.840 they've got to

00:30:48.260 make really

00:30:48.820 tough choices

00:30:49.640 that may come

00:30:51.100 with some

00:30:52.100 backlash.

00:30:52.740 But that is the

00:30:53.440 definition of

00:30:54.700 leadership, and I

00:30:55.480 can tell you, I

00:30:56.120 know personally a

00:30:57.300 number of officers

00:30:58.300 in different

00:30:59.000 branches of the

00:30:59.580 military who have

00:31:00.880 been shoved out

00:31:01.860 and forced to

00:31:02.660 retire because they 0.97

00:31:04.040 happen to be white

00:31:04.960 males, and these

00:31:05.620 are people who over

00:31:06.840 the last 25 years

00:31:08.920 have deployed every

00:31:10.600 single year in the

00:31:11.980 most harsh combat

00:31:14.840 environment and made

00:31:15.980 those tough calls

00:31:16.760 between life and

00:31:17.580 death, they've

00:31:18.500 been investigations

00:31:19.320 because of it, but

00:31:21.160 these are people who

00:31:22.160 have the kind of

00:31:22.900 experience that will

00:31:23.580 never be replaced, and

00:31:25.180 they're getting shoved

00:31:26.020 out and they are not

00:31:26.960 getting promoted because

00:31:28.500 of the civilian

00:31:29.320 leadership at the very

00:31:30.520 top of the Department

00:31:31.400 of Defense.

00:31:32.020 So yes, as a

00:31:33.460 Secretary of Defense, I

00:31:34.980 would 100% be able to

00:31:37.980 write the course, fix

00:31:39.640 what has become so

00:31:40.660 broken within our

00:31:42.020 Department of Defense,

00:31:42.860 and it starts with

00:31:43.980 putting the right

00:31:44.640 leaders in the right

00:31:45.700 places who put our

00:31:46.640 country first and who

00:31:48.040 really care more about

00:31:49.160 our troops than they

00:31:50.500 care about how many

00:31:51.780 stars they wear on

00:31:52.820 their shoulders.

00:31:53.520 I obviously have very

00:31:54.500 strong feelings about

00:31:55.460 this because I still

00:31:56.780 serve and I know

00:31:58.260 personally the

00:31:59.520 detrimental impact that

00:32:01.040 this administration is

00:32:02.240 having on our

00:32:03.620 military, their morale

00:32:04.880 and their capabilities and

00:32:06.100 readiness to be able to

00:32:06.900 do their job.

00:32:08.260 Tulsi, next time you're

00:32:09.460 in Dallas, please let me

00:32:10.420 know.

00:32:10.600 I'd love to talk more

00:32:11.640 about especially the

00:32:12.640 military and where we're

00:32:13.640 at.

00:32:14.100 Thank you so much.

00:32:15.040 I look forward to it,

00:32:15.920 Glenn.

00:32:16.060 Thank you so much.

00:32:17.160 You bet.

00:32:20.160 This is the best of the

00:32:21.700 Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:23.820 Lee, welcome to the

00:32:25.000 program.

00:32:25.720 How are you?

00:32:27.180 Hi, Mr. Beck.

00:32:28.440 I'm great.

00:32:29.240 How are you doing this

00:32:30.160 morning?

00:32:30.940 Very good.

00:32:31.600 Please call me Glenn and

00:32:32.700 I want to make sure I

00:32:33.680 got it.

00:32:33.980 It is Lee, not Leah,

00:32:35.300 right?

00:32:36.240 It's Leah.

00:32:37.500 Oh, sorry, Leah.

00:32:38.580 Okay.

00:32:38.760 So, Leah, what has

00:32:41.380 happened since we spoke

00:32:43.340 last time on the radio?

00:32:44.620 Anything?

00:32:46.040 Oh, my gracious.

00:32:47.220 We have been so blessed

00:32:49.580 by so many people that

00:32:53.880 have received the text

00:32:56.000 messages and emails that

00:33:00.240 Ashley Carroll, who is a

00:33:02.880 Board of Education member,

00:33:04.080 and Chairman Alan Beck

00:33:06.780 had sent around the

00:33:09.180 community and to

00:33:10.460 leaders of North

00:33:11.820 Carolina, spreading

00:33:16.040 lies about our child

00:33:17.900 being suspended from

00:33:19.700 multiple schools.

00:33:20.680 He's never, ever been

00:33:22.300 kicked out of a school.

00:33:23.720 And also giving us proof

00:33:26.900 that Ashley Carroll and

00:33:29.140 Chairman Beck were taking

00:33:32.260 part in sending around

00:33:34.120 my arrest records.

00:33:35.400 So, we have been

00:33:36.340 absolutely blown away

00:33:37.960 since your broadcast

00:33:38.960 because it allowed

00:33:40.740 people to step forward,

00:33:42.440 encourage, and boldness,

00:33:43.980 and share this

00:33:45.220 information with us.

00:33:46.520 So, I'm so thankful

00:33:47.600 that you asked the

00:33:49.740 community and the state

00:33:51.260 to step up in order to

00:33:53.260 expose this unethical,

00:33:55.760 defamatory, and cruel

00:33:57.360 text that they have

00:33:58.800 shared around.

00:33:59.420 You know, I read a lot

00:34:00.900 of the emails, and

00:34:02.880 there was one posting

00:34:05.940 that said, I don't

00:34:07.600 personally know this

00:34:08.340 woman who continues to 1.00

00:34:09.420 blast my child's school 0.94

00:34:10.400 all over social media,

00:34:11.800 but I believe a person's

00:34:12.820 past actions and

00:34:13.840 criminal convictions

00:34:14.920 make me question the

00:34:16.420 legitimacy of their

00:34:17.500 current narrative and

00:34:18.260 story.

00:34:19.020 There's always three

00:34:19.600 sides to every story,

00:34:20.520 and I find it rather

00:34:21.240 ironic.

00:34:21.920 No local news station

00:34:22.960 has run the story,

00:34:23.860 only right-wing

00:34:24.620 political news, I'm

00:34:26.060 just saying.

00:34:26.620 And somebody wrote

00:34:28.140 back and said, hey,

00:34:29.760 this is affecting the

00:34:31.200 child involved here,

00:34:32.900 I think you should

00:34:33.440 apologize.

00:34:34.620 And in an amazing

00:34:36.240 response, I sincerely,

00:34:39.080 no, wait, wait, wait,

00:34:40.140 wait, I would like to

00:34:41.700 sincerely apologize for

00:34:42.940 my post after thinking

00:34:44.000 about it, talking to a

00:34:45.260 mutual friend, I

00:34:46.060 deleted the post, blah,

00:34:47.160 blah, blah.

00:34:47.560 Then somebody said, you

00:34:48.900 should apologize to the

00:34:49.960 child, and they wrote,

00:34:51.920 I'm so very sorry my

00:34:53.040 post was shared with

00:34:53.980 your son, that was

00:34:54.700 absolutely never my

00:34:55.960 intention, yes, I

00:34:57.180 will apologize for my

00:34:58.240 biased judgment I

00:34:59.220 made, again, I'm

00:34:59.980 sincerely sorry.

00:35:01.120 I mean, it shows that

00:35:03.080 there are good people

00:35:04.220 out there.

00:35:05.740 There are.

00:35:07.320 She received that

00:35:08.780 message from actually,

00:35:11.560 from what we have

00:35:13.700 been told, one of a

00:35:16.820 family member of a

00:35:18.860 commissioner.

00:35:19.980 And when I requested

00:35:21.820 her public apology, she

00:35:24.080 did publicly apologize,

00:35:25.960 and I was so grateful

00:35:27.380 for that, but that

00:35:29.500 post is the post that

00:35:31.280 was sent around my

00:35:32.500 child's school.

00:35:33.820 So that post with the

00:35:35.580 mugshot and the record

00:35:38.180 is the post that was

00:35:40.400 sent around my child's

00:35:41.240 school, and Christian

00:35:42.140 received that post

00:35:43.380 before I did.

00:35:44.840 Oh my gosh.

00:35:46.120 Okay, so let me just

00:35:48.960 say that for anybody

00:35:52.060 who doesn't know the

00:35:52.660 story, Leah, mom, she

00:35:55.860 was arrested 14 years

00:35:57.240 ago.

00:35:58.320 She was arrested on

00:35:59.660 drug charges.

00:36:01.580 She was released over

00:36:03.300 10 years ago.

00:36:04.240 She served her time.

00:36:05.840 She's started her own

00:36:07.220 business in North

00:36:08.180 Carolina, had it for

00:36:09.280 many years.

00:36:09.780 She was appointed by a

00:36:11.280 superior court judge in

00:36:12.740 Brunswick County, North

00:36:14.160 Carolina, to be part of an

00:36:15.400 advisory board for that

00:36:17.360 county's commissioners

00:36:18.440 regarding substance use

00:36:19.900 disorder, nationally

00:36:21.420 accredited with the

00:36:22.840 Encompass Program of

00:36:24.060 America, where you

00:36:25.300 educate the public on the

00:36:26.660 understanding of the

00:36:27.340 science of addiction and

00:36:28.340 everything else.

00:36:29.680 She has spoken over 30

00:36:32.060 times in several states

00:36:33.460 regarding addiction and

00:36:34.600 recovery.

00:36:35.760 She's a prime example of 0.99

00:36:39.520 doing the crime, doing the

00:36:41.200 time, and then not just

00:36:43.240 putting her life back

00:36:44.360 together, but helping

00:36:45.680 others not do it.

00:36:47.760 And this school board

00:36:49.060 only released her arrest

00:36:52.000 record, and they did it

00:36:53.560 to smear you because you

00:36:55.640 were saying, you know, my

00:36:57.680 son, illegal alien is not 1.00

00:37:00.020 a race, and they called

00:37:01.180 him a racist, correct?

00:37:03.500 Absolutely.

00:37:05.620 Yeah, that's on the

00:37:06.920 write-up.

00:37:07.460 It says he made a racially

00:37:09.020 motivated, racially

00:37:10.440 insensitive comment saying

00:37:12.460 aliens need green cards. 0.69

00:37:15.020 That was the extent of the

00:37:18.120 write-up.

00:37:18.580 On the write-up, it says,

00:37:20.020 write a detailed description

00:37:22.100 of the events that

00:37:23.360 happened.

00:37:24.180 And the only thing they

00:37:25.220 wrote is, Christian made a 0.88

00:37:27.360 racially insensitive,

00:37:28.680 racially motivated comment

00:37:30.160 saying aliens, illegal 1.00

00:37:32.100 aliens need green cards. 0.69

00:37:35.480 Huh.

00:37:36.280 Interesting.

00:37:37.260 So let me go to your

00:37:38.180 attorney from the Liberty

00:37:39.460 Justice Center.

00:37:40.400 Dean McGee is with us.

00:37:42.720 I understand there's a

00:37:44.660 couple of possible legal

00:37:46.460 updates.

00:37:47.360 First of all, you received

00:37:49.620 new text messages from a

00:37:51.460 local leader.

00:37:53.260 Can you tell me anything

00:37:53.960 about that?

00:37:55.680 Yeah, Glenn, we've received

00:37:56.860 new text messages, including

00:37:58.420 a message that came in this

00:37:59.740 morning.

00:38:00.100 And these are all

00:38:00.900 screenshots.

00:38:02.320 I think the community in

00:38:03.280 Davidson County heard your

00:38:04.920 call, Glenn, to step up and

00:38:07.060 help Leah, because people are

00:38:08.560 coming forward who have been

00:38:09.780 contacted by board members.

00:38:11.460 And the message I'm looking

00:38:13.780 at right now that we

00:38:15.280 received earlier this

00:38:16.340 morning, this is a board

00:38:19.300 member, Ashley Carroll,

00:38:20.540 talking to someone who I

00:38:21.660 understand used to work in

00:38:22.960 law enforcement.

00:38:24.120 And she says, here's the

00:38:25.920 mom's record.

00:38:26.980 If you want to know the kind

00:38:28.180 of person you're dealing

00:38:29.240 with, didn't you work hard to

00:38:31.360 get drug dealers off the

00:38:32.740 streets?

00:38:34.160 So, you know, the only thing

00:38:35.820 is to let that sink in,

00:38:37.480 because he is saying, she is

00:38:40.180 saying, essentially, that her

00:38:42.000 son does not deserve a fair

00:38:44.500 process because of Leah's

00:38:48.220 arrest over a decade ago and

00:38:50.980 trying to guilt this former

00:38:52.520 law enforcement officer into

00:38:55.800 turning against Leah and her

00:38:57.600 son because of her record.

00:39:00.180 What is the more we get in

00:39:02.880 terms of messages from the

00:39:04.680 community, the worse it looks

00:39:05.880 for this school and for this

00:39:07.260 board.

00:39:07.500 What is the motivation to do

00:39:12.400 this kind of damage?

00:39:13.800 I mean, that just, that seems

00:39:15.780 like you're at a squirt gun

00:39:17.240 fight and somebody brings a

00:39:19.080 nuclear bomb.

00:39:22.100 I can't speak to their

00:39:23.900 motivation, but I think we see

00:39:25.760 this from government at all

00:39:27.380 levels, from the top right down

00:39:30.120 to the smaller local levels,

00:39:32.340 like a school board.

00:39:33.680 Pride, ego, the inability to

00:39:36.280 admit mistakes and doubling

00:39:38.440 down.

00:39:39.220 It's nothing new.

00:39:40.160 And Liberty Justice Center, we

00:39:41.460 sue the government at all

00:39:43.240 levels.

00:39:44.300 That's our job.

00:39:45.020 Thank you.

00:39:45.300 And we do it all the time.

00:39:48.180 Thank you for that.

00:39:50.860 Have you served papers yet?

00:39:54.400 I thought they were supposed to

00:39:55.660 be maybe served today.

00:39:57.900 Am I?

00:39:58.220 I don't know what I'm allowed to

00:39:59.500 say.

00:39:59.700 No, that's fine.

00:40:01.300 Yes, our papers are going out.

00:40:03.080 We had a meeting with our local

00:40:04.580 counsel.

00:40:05.060 We have on the ground

00:40:07.040 attorneys in North Carolina

00:40:09.940 who are working to get papers

00:40:12.340 served, working.

00:40:13.540 We're working to get an injunction

00:40:15.600 served against the school.

00:40:17.640 And the case is coming together

00:40:19.920 very nicely.

00:40:20.480 And the school board is as well.

00:40:24.620 The board is our primary

00:40:27.360 descendant because at the end of

00:40:29.040 the day, they're supposed to be

00:40:30.840 the backstop.

00:40:32.020 They set policy and they're

00:40:33.760 supposed to be the final word

00:40:35.180 when administrators mess up.

00:40:38.240 And as you can see in this case,

00:40:40.240 not only have they failed to step

00:40:41.760 up to help, they've made things

00:40:43.460 much worse.

00:40:44.440 Oh, yeah.

00:40:45.360 Yeah.

00:40:45.880 Any other updates you can give us

00:40:47.460 on the legal side at this time?

00:40:49.800 That's where we are.

00:40:50.680 That's where we are for now.

00:40:52.220 The only other thing I'll say is

00:40:53.900 that we're also meeting with

00:40:55.420 lawyers in North Carolina to

00:40:56.900 discuss possible defamation

00:40:58.560 claims that Leah could bring

00:41:00.900 against these board members.

00:41:02.800 Could?

00:41:04.080 I mean, that seems like a slam

00:41:05.540 dunk here, doesn't it?

00:41:08.140 Yes.

00:41:08.780 And again, I'll say the more that

00:41:10.540 community members step up and

00:41:12.640 expose the unethical and cruel

00:41:16.340 messages and false messages that

00:41:18.500 are being shared, the better

00:41:19.780 case we have.

00:41:22.100 Leah, I feel for you.

00:41:24.880 I really do.

00:41:26.240 Because to me, you are, you're a

00:41:29.820 symbol.

00:41:30.500 I don't know you, but from what

00:41:32.300 the story I do know, you seem to

00:41:35.780 be exactly what the redemption

00:41:38.720 process is all about.

00:41:40.940 You did the time, you changed your

00:41:44.240 life, and now you're helping others.

00:41:45.980 I mean, that's AA, quite honestly, and

00:41:50.080 the atonement of Jesus Christ.

00:41:52.520 So I just, I feel for you.

00:41:56.500 I really feel for you.

00:41:57.440 This is awful.

00:41:58.980 Thank you, Glenn.

00:41:59.940 That means the world to me.

00:42:01.720 I mean, for people to bring up

00:42:04.740 something that was done over a

00:42:06.660 decade ago and not look at the work

00:42:08.940 that was put in to, you know, to help

00:42:12.860 the community is disgusting.

00:42:15.760 I also received messages that Ashley

00:42:18.980 Carroll sent to another leader in North

00:42:24.900 Carolina, and she is of Jewish descent, and

00:42:30.060 Ashley equates what my son said to her in

00:42:35.460 this text.

00:42:36.800 She says, because the lady asked, what 0.53

00:42:40.960 about the Latino child who took offense and

00:42:43.840 threatened Christian? 0.55

00:42:44.940 And Ashley's response was, wouldn't you

00:42:48.900 beat a kid's A-S-S who was making

00:42:53.040 anti-Semitic comments?

00:42:55.800 So she equated what Christian said to

00:42:58.740 anti-Semitism.

00:43:01.200 It blows my mind how low this woman, who 1.00

00:43:05.740 is an elected official, will go to continue 0.78

00:43:10.080 to abuse my child.

00:43:12.680 There was another text that came out that

00:43:15.420 said, the mother of said child who was

00:43:18.540 kicked out, has been kicked out because of

00:43:20.960 multiple schools for being racist.

00:43:24.760 Yes, that was sent to the same person, and

00:43:28.240 that is an absolute lie.

00:43:31.060 Christian has never been kicked out of any

00:43:34.760 school, any school, and never, ever had a

00:43:38.680 label of racism placed on his record until

00:43:41.720 this happened at Central Davidson High

00:43:44.960 School.

00:43:46.140 And so that's just further lies that this

00:43:50.840 Board of Education is spreading.

00:43:53.440 They continue to just spread lie after lie

00:43:56.420 after lie.

00:43:57.780 I tell you.

00:43:59.580 People, there's more to the story.

00:44:01.720 There's more to the story.

00:44:03.000 Well, now, Glenn, we have the more to the

00:44:05.500 story.

00:44:05.840 And it is them spreading these lies and

00:44:10.220 unethical, defamatory statements to leaders

00:44:15.460 and residents.

00:44:17.220 I also had a local mother who worked for the

00:44:22.360 school that sent the message saying that she

00:44:26.080 has our total support, but that she cannot

00:44:31.080 share because she's scared she'll lose her job.

00:44:34.960 Oh, my gosh.

00:44:36.400 She said verbatim, she said, unfortunately, I

00:44:41.280 wish I could share all of this, but we can't

00:44:44.780 because we will lose our job.

00:44:46.320 But we do share amongst each other.

00:44:49.220 We know what's going on, and we are sick and

00:44:51.660 tired of it, too.

00:44:53.340 If it came down to it, I would absolutely

00:44:55.780 voice my opinion.

00:44:57.780 I do think that these schools have much work

00:45:00.920 to do.

00:45:03.240 Leah, thank you.

00:45:05.020 Dean, thank you.

00:45:06.440 If you want to help, go to libertyjusticecenter.org

00:45:09.780 and donate, or you can go to givesendgo.com

00:45:13.140 and just search for support for the McGee family.

00:45:16.440 This has got to stop.

00:45:19.900 I hope, again, the county of Davidson, every single

00:45:25.180 member shows up at the school board meetings and

00:45:29.100 demands them to resign.

00:45:31.340 No one seems to be really helping here.

00:45:34.820 The school now should be cleaned out.

00:45:37.100 If you have a school where this kind of injustice is

00:45:42.100 happening, and somebody in the school says, I agree, but

00:45:46.000 I can't say anything, or I'll be fired, what kind of

00:45:50.100 fascistic community do you live in?

00:45:54.000 You cannot allow this to stand.

00:45:56.560 Please stand up if you are in Davidson County in North

00:46:00.600 Carolina.

00:46:01.700 And to that person who is at the school who said that, is

00:46:08.420 your honor, is your word, is your compassion, is

00:46:15.060 your vow to Jesus Christ to live like Christ.

00:46:22.200 And I know it's tough.

00:46:25.620 You know, even the apostles in their hour of shame

00:46:31.820 refused to call him friend.

00:46:34.680 But I have to tell you, your job is not worth it.

00:46:39.140 If you are working for those kinds of people, it will

00:46:43.120 infect your soul.

00:46:44.860 You've got to stand up and take a stand and take your

00:46:48.920 community back for truth and justice and the American

00:46:54.600 way.

00:46:55.860 Dean, thank you for all that you do.

00:46:58.040 And Leah, God bless you.

00:46:59.480 And we'll talk again.

00:47:00.140 Na Na Na Na Na

00:47:01.340 Na Na Na

00:47:01.940 Na Na Na Na

00:47:02.120 Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

00:47:03.540 Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

00:47:03.920 Thank you.
