The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Tulsi Gabbard & Rep. Jim Jordan ｜ 7⧸24⧸24

00:00:00.000 On today's podcast, we've got a packed show and we begin right away with Jim Jordan, who is just about going into a meeting with the FBI on a couple of things.

00:00:11.540 And I talked to him about how do we even trust the FBI? Good news. He doesn't.

00:00:16.980 So we talk about the Secret Service and the FBI, what's happening there.

00:00:22.920 We also get into this wonderful story from The New York Times.

00:00:27.700 It's kind of an expose on Kamala Harris and her cooking skills. 0.93

00:00:33.880 I'm not making it up. Wait until you hear that.

00:00:38.620 Then we also have as a guest on the program, Robbie Starbuck, who is exposing Harley Davidson.

00:00:45.920 We have Tulsi Gabbard, some fascinating comments from her and Kevin Roberts.

00:00:51.020 He is from the Heritage Foundation.

00:00:52.980 They have been tracking the phones that were at the shooter's house.

00:00:58.080 And it appears one of those phones last year ended up at the FBI offices in Washington, D.C.

00:01:06.620 What does it mean?

00:01:08.720 All of that and more on today's podcast.

00:01:10.500 When we talk to you about Jace Medical, it's because the world is on fire.

00:01:16.820 When a severe hurricane comes along, one of the things we Texans know is that you can expect big thunderstorms to follow in the wake.

00:01:23.700 And that means power outages and difficulties getting to places like pharmacies and doctor's offices.

00:01:29.060 And if you're not prepared, it's a real problem.

00:01:31.520 There is something you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have the medication on hand when it is needed.

00:01:37.740 It's a solution that thousands of people have already discovered.

00:01:40.680 It's called the Jace Case.

00:01:42.280 And it allows you to start stocking up on medication right now so you're prepared for anything, even just a vacation.

00:01:50.040 Jace Case is a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that will treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

00:01:58.940 It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.

00:02:02.940 You just fill out a form online and you'll have it.

00:02:05.900 You know, there's add-on options like ivermectin, in case you might need that.

00:02:10.600 Jace Medical encourages you to take your family's health into your own hands.

00:02:14.320 I want you to go to jace.com, enter the promo code BECK at checkout for a discount on your order.

00:02:19.420 That's promo code BECK at jase.com.

00:02:28.940 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:35.900 We welcome now Congressman Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, a guy who has really done his work and proud to have him on the program.

00:02:49.020 Jim Jordan, thank you for all of your work and your continuing work.

00:02:53.660 You're going to sit down here with Christopher Wray here in about an hour.

00:03:03.020 And we, I mean, there's so many questions here.

00:03:07.140 Do you trust the FBI to give us any truth?

00:03:11.300 I have a healthy skepticism that, based on, you know, this is the same Biden terrorist justice department that can't tell us who planted the pipe bombs on January 6th, who leaked the Dobbs' opinion, who put cocaine, you know, who put cocaine at the White House.

00:03:25.220 So I think Americans have a healthy skepticism.

00:03:27.520 But I do think, after what we saw Monday, from the former director of the Secret Service, I do believe Director Wray is going to be more forthcoming.

00:03:36.220 I hope so.

00:03:38.300 And because there's just a number, as you said, there's just a number of questions.

00:03:41.300 In my mind, I break it down to the before, the during, the after.

00:03:44.780 And the before questions, I think, are probably the most important.

00:03:47.800 Because the before questions are, you know, why was he allowed to take the stage when you identified this suspicious person?

00:03:52.660 Why was the Trump security detail numerous times not given assets that they had requested over a long period of time?

00:04:01.160 Why were, in fact, their resources diverted because of NATO and other events going on that could have been there for President Trump?

00:04:08.420 And then maybe the most important is there's a finite number of buildings that needed to be secured.

00:04:12.900 It wasn't a huge number.

00:04:14.420 And the one that was close was the one that the bad guy took the shot from.

00:04:17.300 So that's sort of fundamental.

00:04:19.440 Why weren't those buildings secure?

00:04:21.240 So all those before questions are critical.

00:04:24.760 The during questions, because based on what we've now put together, there's a critical five minutes when it all goes down.

00:04:31.740 609, the shooter on the roof is identified.

00:04:34.740 610, that information is given to the counter-sniper.

00:04:39.000 So they know about the bad guy a minute later at 610.

00:04:42.120 611, the shooter shoots President Trump and three other individuals.

00:04:47.520 612, the counter-sniper takes him out.

00:04:49.340 614, President Trump is escorted off the stage by the Secret Service.

00:04:53.000 We need to know second by second, communication by communication, what was going on in that critical five minutes, the during part.

00:05:01.300 And then, of course, the big question after is, why did they lie to us?

00:05:03.780 Because the Secretary Mayorkas said it's absolutely false that we turned down requests from President Trump's security detail.

00:05:09.700 And then five days later, they changed their stories as well.

00:05:11.700 There were occasions where they asked for information and asked for help, and we turned them down.

00:05:16.620 So why did you guys lie to us the day after the attack?

00:05:19.960 So I think all those are critical questions.

00:05:22.040 And there's a whole host of others that we hope to get answers to.

00:05:26.420 Yeah, they said the Secret Service said they identified the building that the assassin used as an area of concern five days before.

00:05:36.600 I know security, you know, I've had security for 20 years and very good security of Gavin DeBecker for many, many years until I brought it internally.

00:05:50.020 These guys, I think, are better than the Secret Service.

00:05:53.060 Listen, Jim, I would love to talk to you some point off air because I have some run-ins with the Secret Service that has prompted me to say for years on the air, the Secret Service is not protecting our president.

00:06:09.740 And I said this under Barack Obama.

00:06:12.700 There are things that they do that I have personally witnessed that nobody, nobody should be able to do.

00:06:21.480 And we've done them, and it is really, really dangerous.

00:06:26.420 Our presidents are in danger.

00:06:29.060 They are in danger.

00:06:30.960 So the other thing that I would love to hear your questioning on is we find out now, you know about the whistleblower Garrett O'Boyle from the FBI, right?

00:06:45.740 And they accused him.

00:06:48.840 Correct.

00:06:49.440 And they accused him of being the leaker of something to Project Veritas.

00:06:56.880 He said he wasn't the guy.

00:06:59.780 The FBI came and testified, I believe, in front of you and said, we know it's him.

00:07:06.420 We have reliable information.

00:07:08.380 He was the guy.

00:07:09.360 And the question was asked, what information does the FBI have now that it was Mr. O'Boyle behind the shield?

00:07:18.360 We can't talk about that.

00:07:20.460 But we know that it was him.

00:07:23.800 Well, we find out now they knew at the time that it wasn't him.

00:07:28.320 Yeah.

00:07:30.060 And they've permanently taken his security clearance away from him.

00:07:34.660 Correct.

00:07:34.960 The inspector general at the Justice Department is investigating this, looking at this issue of, you know, the security clearances and what we believe is retaliation against whistleblowers who come to our committee and told us about things like the moms and dads who were being investigated for showing up at school board meetings.

00:07:53.600 Who've told us about, oh, if you're a pro-life Catholic, the Richmond field office was categorizing you, the FBI, Richmond field office, categorizing you as an extremist.

00:08:01.620 So they come and tell us about these important issues.

00:08:04.200 And then they go after the people who are giving us or the whistleblowers giving us this information, including Garrett O'Boyle.

00:08:10.360 So we're working on this issue as well, because in my opening statement today, talking about that Americans, while we want the FBI to give us information on the tragedy of July 13th, there's a healthy skepticism Americans have in light of, you know, all the things they've seen from this FBI, from this Justice Department.

00:08:31.480 Do they even care at this point, Jim?

00:08:34.460 I mean, you know, I've been saying this since the assassination attempt.

00:08:39.620 We are in a situation now where they're withholding information.

00:08:45.500 They're acting the way they always act.

00:08:49.160 They're withholding it from Congress.

00:08:51.540 We know that testimony on Monday of the Secret Service head was shameful. 0.99

00:08:59.180 And it is only done either through just sheer stupidity or they don't mind having conspiracy theories thrown around. 0.99

00:09:10.740 They're growing so much disinformation and misinformation because they won't be clear. 0.99

00:09:18.020 Yeah.

00:09:18.360 Why would you do that?

00:09:20.340 Yeah.

00:09:21.020 Just be transparent with we, the people.

00:09:23.300 After all, we pay your salary.

00:09:24.880 You're supposed to work for us, for the country.

00:09:27.440 Thank you.

00:09:27.920 If you remember, you remember Director Cheadle.

00:09:30.680 I asked her this question.

00:09:32.060 I said, how many times did you turn down President Trump's security detail request for additional resources?

00:09:38.720 She wouldn't tell me.

00:09:39.680 And then I asked her, I said, were any of the times you turned down what they asked for after you had learned that Iran was trying to kill former President Trump?

00:09:48.320 That seems to me to be, once you know, like, one of our enemies, one of the most dangerous countries and regimes on the planet is trying to kill the former president and likely the next president.

00:09:59.120 And he asked for help and you turn it down then?

00:10:01.920 What are you, what are you doing?

00:10:03.980 And she wouldn't answer that question, which leads me to believe I think they did turn down requests from President Trump's team after they knew the Iranians were trying to kill him. 0.51

00:10:11.780 Oh, yeah.

00:10:13.500 I, I, and why was she on encrypted, uh, communication with the White House?

00:10:21.280 I mean, when she admitted that she was using encrypted, uh, software to communicate on her private phone, is that not illegal, Jim?

00:10:30.220 Well, yeah, she's, so are we, please tell me we're, right, please, it's supposed to be on the government phone.

00:10:41.080 Please tell me that we're not going, because she resigned, we're taking the heat off of any of this.

00:10:48.240 No, no, no, there's, I don't think, hey, that's not my intention.

00:10:51.980 We got to, we got to stay full, full tilt on getting the answers.

00:10:54.540 And I believe certainly the country, the people that we represent, the people we serve want the answers.

00:11:01.080 It is our job as the legislative branch to do oversight.

00:11:04.600 The speaker's announced he's going to put together a, a special task force to focus on this issue alone.

00:11:09.480 So we have to get answers to these questions.

00:11:12.220 So what we've spent two years, almost two years doing in this Congress on a host of issues, uh, whether it's the censorship effort or what have you, uh, that same kind of intensity needs to be here for, for this, uh, uh, this issue as well.

00:11:24.540 I have to tell you, Jim, that, you know, um, my job, your job, all of our jobs now is really difficult because every day we look at things that don't make sense.

00:11:36.020 We know we're being lied to, but we don't necessarily know why we're being lied to.

00:11:40.760 Um, she just might be wildly incompetent and all of this may have been human error.

00:11:46.540 Um, but we don't know why.

00:11:49.220 And it makes my job, your job almost impossible.

00:11:54.400 I, you know, there's nothing I want to do more than get on the air and say, this is a conspiracy theory.

00:12:00.360 This is wrong.

00:12:01.460 This is wrong.

00:12:02.280 This is wrong because this is what actually happened.

00:12:06.040 But I can't dismiss.

00:12:07.740 I just go online and I see things that I'm like, I don't know.

00:12:10.680 Could be, I don't know.

00:12:11.920 No, that's not a place where a country can survive.

00:12:16.140 No, it's not a healthy place.

00:12:17.960 You're, you're exactly right.

00:12:19.520 And, uh, and, and time and time again, um, when we were told something by our government and we all thought, well, that doesn't really make, it turned out we were right.

00:12:29.140 Remember when they told us, oh no, the Hunter Biden laptop, it's, it's Russia's information operation.

00:12:33.540 They let us believe that when they knew at the time that it was authentic, the laptop was authentic.

00:12:39.260 I mean, they've time and time again, they told us, there's a great, they told us that COVID came from, uh, uh, uh, you know, a bat to a penguin to a hippopotamus to people.

00:12:49.100 I mean, like, no, it came from a lab, like everything.

00:12:52.760 They told us that if you got the vaccine, you could, I mean, you could just go on and on.

00:12:55.580 So many things are supposed to serve us, told us turn out not to be true.

00:13:00.480 So no wonder there's this healthy skepticism Americans have of their government agencies.

00:13:06.260 So the, uh, FBI in with the shooter uncovered a number of the searches for images of public figures of variety, including president Biden, president Trump, some limited online activity reflecting the subject state of mind.

00:13:22.640 I don't even know what that means.

00:13:24.560 Um, but also noted encrypted communications.

00:13:28.100 Right.

00:13:28.620 Uh, and they have limited ability to obtain certain information.

00:13:33.400 It came from Germany, New Zealand, and Belgium.

00:13:36.460 Do you have any idea these encrypted platforms that the FBI is talking about?

00:13:40.880 Are these communication platforms or what, what is that?

00:13:46.080 We have, I have no idea, but I think that is something we have to understand.

00:13:52.500 You need to let us know what is, what, what is that all about?

00:13:55.640 What was going on there?

00:13:56.760 Because that's certainly where people, I think, take that information and say, wait a minute, what's going on here?

00:14:01.500 And leads to all kinds of speculation about what, what could have been the motivation here.

00:14:05.420 So we, we need answers to those questions, certainly.

00:14:08.640 And, and all the others that we've talked about.

00:14:10.720 One last question about Joe Biden.

00:14:15.000 He came out yesterday and praised, uh, uh, Cheadle, uh, and was disgrace.

00:14:22.780 I was grateful for all of her hard work and her selfless dedication and risked her life to protect our nation through her career.

00:14:31.400 Or, uh, I mean, how, how do you explain this from, from a president with somebody who has failed this spectacularly?

00:14:43.140 Yeah.

00:14:44.420 Um, Ed, frankly, Glenn, that's par for the course for the Biden administration.

00:14:49.200 I can't think of one thing they've done well.

00:14:51.560 I can't think of, you know, any, I mean, it's just been, it's been a disaster from the get go.

00:14:56.560 I mean, this, this, you go back to the exit from Afghanistan.

00:15:00.020 I mean, I think the metaphor for the Biden administration is, is those people, when that plane's taken off, people trying to jump on the wheels of that plane because they knew what was going to, what was going to happen to them.

00:15:10.320 So that is, tell me one thing they've said, done, did that, that makes sense.

00:15:15.340 Uh, it, it just, this is the Biden administration. 0.97

00:15:17.540 So I guess I'm, I'm at the point now I'm no longer surprised at another stupid statement that comes from, from the Biden administration. 0.92

00:15:24.380 Uh, I was just handed a note to remind one, one more thing. 0.94

00:15:27.580 I'm sorry.

00:15:28.060 Um, and that is, uh, the, her investigation, um, the DOJ apparently found, uh, those transcripts, the audio, they just, I guess, you know, it's a crowded place.

00:15:40.380 It got boxes everywhere.

00:15:41.800 And somebody just ran into it in the hallway.

00:15:44.480 How the hell is that?

00:15:45.900 Yeah.

00:15:46.340 They found more tapes.

00:15:47.920 Yeah.

00:15:48.420 Uh, they won't give us the ones they have now.

00:15:49.880 They found more.

00:15:50.560 Shazam.

00:15:51.000 What, what are we going to do?

00:15:51.940 Um, yeah, I mean, this is, this, this, this, this thing's a mess.

00:15:55.960 I mean, remember Jack Smith had to file with the court, Hey, the documents we did seize in that, in that case, uh, we, we changed the order, which you're not allowed to do.

00:16:04.100 Some people call that tampering with evidence and they had to file a document with the court.

00:16:07.340 Right.

00:16:07.780 That they mishandled the documents that they were accusing president Trump of mishandling.

00:16:12.380 You can't make this stuff up.

00:16:13.540 So it's, it is, it is that crazy with these, with this administration.

00:16:18.100 And, uh, I think, you know, we haven't really got into electoral politics, but I actually think all this is going to factor in.

00:16:24.980 And that's why I believe, uh, president Trump and JD Vance are going to be the next president, vice president of the country.

00:16:31.380 I hope so, because we are at a place where if I were in China, Iran, South, uh, I mean, North Korea, Russia, I would be licking my chops right now.

00:16:41.480 This would be the time to hit us.

00:16:43.540 We're completely in disarray.

00:16:46.320 Thank you so much, Jim.

00:16:47.520 I appreciate it.

00:16:48.300 All right.

00:16:48.480 You bet.

00:16:48.860 Take care.

00:16:49.180 Keep up the good work.

00:16:49.800 Thanks, brother.

00:16:50.220 It is.

00:16:50.840 Yeah.

00:16:51.080 Good luck.

00:16:51.500 We'll be watching.

00:16:52.300 Uh, that's representative Jim Jordan from Ohio, uh, the house ranking member.

00:16:57.360 He is about in about, uh, 40 minutes to go in and go toe to toe with Christopher Ray from the FBI on more of their lies.

00:17:08.380 There are no disposable human beings.

00:17:11.440 None.

00:17:11.880 It sounds like an obvious thing to say, but when you consider that we've disposed of 65 million human beings in this country since the beginning of Roe versus Wade, many of them in the worst way possible.

00:17:24.160 You're led to the inescapable conclusion that, yeah, many Americans do believe that some humans are disposable.

00:17:30.800 Preborn is the largest pro-life organization in the country, and they're leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion.

00:17:37.300 And every day, they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.

00:17:45.080 When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor, when she hears that heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.

00:17:53.000 If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?

00:17:58.420 Your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Preborn's entire network for 24 hours, helping to rescue 200 babies.

00:18:07.000 To donate, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, that's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash back.

00:18:15.440 That's preborn.com slash back, sponsored by Preborn.

00:18:19.240 Now, back to the podcast.

00:18:22.200 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:25.900 Kevin, my man, how are you?

00:18:28.780 Man, that is great to be with you.

00:18:30.740 I'm doing great, even though I'm here, back here in the Imperial City of Washington, awaiting the Prime Minister of Israel, but also 20,000 protesters here in D.C., Glenn.

00:18:40.720 So, we're buttoned down and, you know, ready for all the nonsense.

00:18:44.620 I wish I were there.

00:18:45.940 Well, no, not actually, but I wish I was with Benjamin Net and Yahoo today.

00:18:49.360 I'd love to hear that live.

00:18:50.800 Anyway, Kevin, you're the president of the Heritage Foundation, and there's a couple of things that I wanted to ask you about, and I want to start with the assassination.

00:19:02.560 Through the Heritage Foundation, the Oversight Project, it was tweeted, we found the assassin's connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crook's and his associates.

00:19:18.640 To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crook's home and place of work and then followed them.

00:19:27.660 Someone who regularly visited Crook's home and work also visited a building in Washington, D.C. located in Gallery Place.

00:19:35.500 This is the same building that has the FBI offices in the upper floors.

00:19:42.460 You also tracked people that were coming in and out from Plymouth, Mass., through Boston.

00:19:49.020 What do you think you found here?

00:19:52.460 Well, what we presume we found, given our mission to educate the public, is that most likely Mr. Crook's phone, but just to be 100% accurate, some phone that was at his residence, so it could be another relative's, was at his residence at presumably the FBI headquarters about a year ago.

00:20:13.260 But also, very importantly and troublingly, Glenn, at the site in Butler, Pennsylvania, of the attempted assassination attempt, both on July 4th and on July 8th.

00:20:25.220 So at least twice before the actual day of the attempted assassination.

00:20:30.220 This obviously shows...

00:20:31.620 Now, could that have been his phone?

00:20:34.500 Could that have been his phone?

00:20:36.320 Yeah, it's most likely his phone.

00:20:37.640 I just want to be clear that, you know, we know for sure that it's a phone that was at his residence.

00:20:42.160 It most likely is.

00:20:44.240 Okay.

00:20:45.760 But we have no idea who the phone, who owns the phone that went to, presumably, the FBI offices in Washington, D.C.

00:20:55.340 That's correct.

00:20:56.140 It's most likely his, but a phone that was also at his residence, you know, every day up until that point.

00:21:03.120 So the only reason I issue that caveat, Glenn, is, you know, that our mission is to educate.

00:21:08.020 We always want to be as accurate as we can.

00:21:09.720 And clearly the issue is it really does open questions about why law enforcement has taken so long to put the pieces together on this investigation, which opens questions not only about incompetence, but maybe even worse.

00:21:25.180 None of that, of course, was allayed by the Secret Service director's testimony a couple of days ago in Congress.

00:21:30.860 No.

00:21:31.860 No.

00:21:31.980 And the FBI is now testifying today.

00:21:36.800 And we'll see what they come up with.

00:21:38.340 But I don't have a lot of confidence in the FBI, even, you know, I just I've I've thought something was wrong with those pipe bombs.

00:21:45.440 And they've just never been able to find anything out about those pipe bombs.

00:21:49.220 That's insane.

00:21:50.220 No, it's remarkable.

00:21:51.220 Of course they can.

00:21:52.220 It's remarkable.

00:21:53.220 Whenever, you know, they've got like some little shred of evidence to impose upon all of us who are politically conservative conspiracy theories, they're really quick to do that.

00:22:02.900 But when it might be the alternate, the alternate side doing this, the political left, they never quite connect the dots.

00:22:09.460 And I think ultimately this this is what leads to the even broader question, which is why, in spite of all the great rank and file people who work in Secret Service and the FBI, the leadership of these agencies is rotten to the core.

00:22:22.580 And this is why we are so intent on making sure that the administrative state, the deep state is dismantled in the next conservative administration.

00:22:32.900 I want to get back to that here in just a second.

00:22:35.000 But first, let me go to another oversight project tweet from Heritage.

00:22:40.920 We have been preparing for this moment for months.

00:22:43.680 Many in the media tried discrediting us.

00:22:45.300 Who's laughing now?

00:22:46.080 No more make it up as you go elections.

00:22:47.880 Stay tuned.

00:22:49.020 What does that mean?

00:22:50.660 Well, what it means is that it's very difficult in at least three states, Nevada, Wisconsin and Georgia, for Joe Biden to be removed from the ballot.

00:22:58.620 And the Democrats, who, of course, like to portray themselves as the party that saves democracy, have played this this bait and switch.

00:23:08.680 And according to our reading of the law in those states and maybe some others, it's too late for them to change the name of their candidate.

00:23:15.720 This is such a problem for them, Glenn, that Mark Elias, who is the great architect of the left's lawfare against us, you, many people in your audience, has pushed the certification deadline within the Democratic Party's nomination process up to this week so that Kamala Harris can can be officially the nominee and hopefully make these legal claims more difficult for our side.

00:23:39.140 It is really amazing to me that the group that claims that democracy is on the ropes and they're fighting for democracy can actually say yesterday, I heard Chuck Schumer say, this is a grassroots movement.

00:23:56.260 She's growing it from the bottom up, not the other way around.

00:23:59.560 And she's really worked hard to get these delegates what she called a list of people who the party has empowered and say, what, I'm your new candidate.

00:24:12.020 I'd really like your vote.

00:24:13.760 But it didn't come from the people.

00:24:15.400 It is amazing how this is so anti-democratic and it doesn't seem like the Democrats, the average voter, cares about that.

00:24:25.840 No. And, you know, what's interesting is rank and file Democrats have been just completely overridden by the powers that be in Washington and San Francisco and New York.

00:24:38.360 And you would think just rank and file members of the Democratic Party, you know, relatively normal people out there would say enough is enough.

00:24:45.280 But this is a steamroll process.

00:24:47.400 And as I've been saying for almost a year now, this has always been part of the plan.

00:24:51.380 I don't think those Democrat powers that be were ever going to listen to the will of the Democrat rank and file.

00:24:58.400 They were always going to replace Biden.

00:25:00.600 It's why the debate was scheduled so soon.

00:25:03.480 It's why, frankly, I think that his medication, likely for Parkinson's, probably wasn't administered correctly on the day of the debate, all to put someone else in this position.

00:25:14.560 But then you have to ask the question, why?

00:25:16.680 Because they knew that he would be incapable of winning the general election.

00:25:19.860 And so if they wanted to go through a process in the primaries where Vice President Harris and other candidates were running and she ended up being the nominee, the more power to her. 0.84

00:25:28.560 But this is someone who got less than one percent of the primary vote when she ran in 2016.

00:25:33.360 So I don't understand why there isn't a greater uproar by rank and file Democrats.

00:25:36.900 Well, let me ask you, I mean, nothing like this has ever, ever been done.

00:25:45.360 And and she doesn't have a better chance of beating Donald Trump. 0.57

00:25:50.640 I mean, when people see her on the campaign trail and remember who she is and Democrats, like you said, less than one percent.

00:25:59.180 She she was, I think, one of the first ones to drop out.

00:26:02.660 Nobody liked her.

00:26:04.980 Why are they in a rush to replace him with her?

00:26:09.160 Is it because they're trapped, which I don't believe they ever feel they're trapped?

00:26:12.540 I think they realized that Biden's candidacy, his likability deteriorated much faster than they thought.

00:26:21.140 And I do believe that they probably preferred a different person to replace him.

00:26:25.260 But she played her cards really well politically and ingratiated herself in the powers that be. 0.99

00:26:29.860 But to the heart of your question, you know, looking forward, I think what we've got to do, we collectively on the center right in this country, is zealously focus on her failures in policy.

00:26:39.900 She was named in the first months of the Biden presidency as the borders are what is going on at the border.

00:26:46.440 But the total upending of American sovereignty, she was supposed to play an important role in foreign policy. 1.00

00:26:52.080 They have been a disaster.

00:26:53.680 The economy is a disaster.

00:26:55.540 Our energy policy is a disaster.

00:26:57.780 And on top of that, probably the greatest criticism that I would mention about Miss Harris from my policy perspective is that she's grossly dishonest. 1.00

00:27:06.600 And so I think if that case, that political and policy case, is prosecuted in the political sphere, that in fact the left is not going to get away with this.

00:27:17.320 But I just would caution, my friend, and this starts with me and everyone at Heritage, let's not be overconfident.

00:27:23.280 Let's run this race.

00:27:24.460 No, no, I'm not.

00:27:25.100 So it's behind, and let's understand that the media, of course, one last point on this, Glenn, the media, of course, in just a matter of days, the same media that told us that Joe Biden was fine is telling us that she is the greatest policy leader and thinker in the history of the American left.

00:27:42.700 That's the thing we have to be focused on.

00:27:44.360 So let me give you a story that came out today.

00:27:48.220 Democratic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and several of her colleagues unveiled a new bill Tuesday looking to restore powers of the administrative state after the Supreme Court scaled back unelected bureaucrats power in June.

00:28:02.740 Warren, along with fellow Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal, who's a dream, in Connecticut, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Edward Markey of Massachusetts, and independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who typically caucuses with the Democrats, rolled out the Stop Corporate Capture Act on Tuesday, which would essentially overturn the Supreme Court's landmark June decision ending Chevron deference.

00:28:30.280 Formally, a key tool for federal bureaucrats to make and enforce regulations. 0.56

00:28:36.420 Chevron deference held that courts should defer to executive agencies' interpretations of statutory ambiguities in laws pertaining to given regulatory action.

00:28:47.480 So they are now saying, quote,

00:28:49.680 Oh my gosh, is this a total twisting of what's going on?

00:29:19.660 What's actually happened?

00:29:21.340 Oh, man, I was just came out of one of our daily meetings here at Heritage and just reminded my great colleagues, guys, don't ever accept the language of the left.

00:29:29.440 And that's a really relevant point to make in response to your question, because if you want to know what the left is actually doing, listen to what they accuse us of doing.

00:29:39.500 And so what they have been doing, you know, for 50 years, it's always been that way, for 50 years, I mean, really amplified during LBJ's misnomer of the great society, they've taken over the administrative state.

00:29:52.180 But in addition to that, I mean, even their comment in that summary about corporations, corporate America has become aligned with the radical left.

00:30:00.060 So what we're trying to do, you know, across the political right is wrest that power away from them, give it back to the states and the people, let the people decide through their elected representatives what, in fact, laws should be.

00:30:13.100 You know, I grew up in a time, Glenn, when most people on the political left agreed with that, too.

00:30:18.140 But now they know, because the American people are opposed to them, that they've got to operate in the shadows.

00:30:24.500 Yep. Yep.

00:30:26.160 Thank you so much.

00:30:27.240 I really appreciate everything you do.

00:30:29.760 And say hi to B.B. for me today, will you?

00:30:34.220 I will.

00:30:34.780 Look at the team effort, starting with you and your audience.

00:30:37.040 God bless you, brother.

00:30:37.860 Talk to you soon.

00:30:39.000 Thank you.

00:30:39.420 Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation.

00:30:43.840 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:48.080 Welcome to the program now, Tulsi Gabbard.

00:30:51.440 How are you, Tulsi?

00:30:52.860 Aloha, my friend.

00:30:53.900 It's great to talk to you, always.

00:30:56.740 By the way, I am pushing for you to be the secretary of defense if Trump would win.

00:31:02.940 I think you'd make a great secretary of defense.

00:31:06.800 I appreciate that.

00:31:08.040 I think there will be opportunities, should Trump get elected, to serve as secretary of state or secretary of defense, to be in a position to actually begin to reshape our country's foreign policy to one that Trump has advocated for all along.

00:31:23.580 One that puts the interests of the American people and our country first and prevents us from getting into these unnecessary, counterproductive regime change wars and begins to enact those policies that allow our country to succeed.

00:31:39.460 So, I never thought of you as secretary of state.

00:31:43.340 That is an interesting idea.

00:31:45.520 That might even be better than secretary of defense.

00:31:47.620 But anyway, let's talk about Tulsi Gabbard.

00:31:50.220 I mean, I'm sorry, Kamala Harris.

00:31:52.580 Kamala is probably the most left candidate we've ever had. 1.00

00:31:58.520 And she's being really installed by the Democratic Party. 0.52

00:32:04.820 I want to talk to you about the installation here in a second.

00:32:07.260 But first, what would we be getting from a Kamala Harris? 0.99

00:32:13.740 You know, the Democrats themselves tout President Biden as the most, quote unquote, progressive president our country has ever seen.

00:32:23.500 And this was supposed to be the guy who was going to come in and be a moderating influence on the Democratic Party, the guy who said that he would unite all Americans and serve all Americans.

00:32:34.720 And from day zero, he did exactly the opposite in dividing us by race and enacting these radical, woke agendas that are hurting our children, hurting our education system, hurting the safety of our communities.

00:32:49.500 I could go go on and on. You talk about these issues all the time.

00:32:53.800 We've talked about foreign policy.

00:32:55.760 Really, when you look at Kamala Harris, you can expect more of the same, but worse.

00:33:03.200 I think what it comes down to is just the need for us to make sure that we remind voters over and over as we head into this election, even as the Democrats have changed their course in this race,

00:33:15.400 The substance, the policies, and quite frankly, the real decision makers behind the scenes who have been pulling the strings, whether it's Robbie Mook from Hillary Clinton's campaign or Tony Blinken from Biden's, you know, decades with President Biden or President Obama's lackeys in the White House.

00:33:36.020 So these people who have been making the decisions over the last three and a half years, they are going to continue to call the shots, which means we can expect the same disastrous policies that we've seen and worse.

00:33:47.660 I really think that Biden was forced out.

00:33:53.000 I think they held something over his head, either the 25th Amendment or, you know, hey, look at your son.

00:34:00.000 We may not be able to stop the impeachment proceedings, you know, because of the Hunter stuff.

00:34:04.960 And they gave him a deadline of Sunday.

00:34:08.500 This is all my speculation, by the way.

00:34:10.900 Gave him a deadline of Sunday and he folded.

00:34:13.840 And I don't I mean, it's it's clear that he's not running the country.

00:34:19.800 He's not really running the presidency, because why why are you OK to be the president, but you're not there enough to run a campaign?

00:34:30.740 That makes no sense.

00:34:32.860 But then they pick Tulsi Gabbard to replace her. 0.96

00:34:36.280 And it's it's surprising to me that Barack Obama is not for it.

00:34:42.080 What did you say?

00:34:42.920 Kamala, you said you said you said they picked Tulsi Gabbard.

00:34:46.360 They picked Kamala Harris. 0.83

00:34:47.580 I'm so sorry.

00:34:48.520 I tell you, we would be having a very different conversation here.

00:34:52.100 Yeah, I know.

00:34:53.360 I know we would.

00:34:54.540 I know we would.

00:34:55.660 I'm sorry.

00:34:56.320 They picked Kamala Harris. 0.83

00:34:58.960 And I don't think she's going to be running the the presidency either. 0.70

00:35:03.840 I agree with you.

00:35:04.680 But who is actually who is this cabal?

00:35:10.400 Shouldn't we be asking that question and getting that answer?

00:35:14.540 We absolutely should, Glenn.

00:35:17.140 You know, it's it's the people who are invested.

00:35:20.680 Ultimately, it's those who whose power relies on having a figurehead that they can control.

00:35:29.000 So, you know, you can look at some of the people that I've mentioned already who are who have been around Hillary Clinton.

00:35:35.580 They are Hillary Clinton's lackeys.

00:35:37.000 President Obama's lackeys.

00:35:39.000 People have been with President Biden for a long time.

00:35:41.640 It's the military industrial complex that that profits from our country being in a constant state of war.

00:35:48.240 It's those who are are the unelected people in the national security state whose ability to control and take more of our liberties.

00:36:00.440 Again, relies on us being in a constant state of war.

00:36:04.500 It's their friends in big tech and propaganda media who benefit from them having access to that power and that information.

00:36:13.580 And it's the big money billionaires.

00:36:16.280 Yes, it is the George Soroses, but but others read Hoffman's and others who are are being who are incredibly influential beyond belief because of their money and their ability to exert control.

00:36:29.800 Well, fundamentally, what is at the heart of this of all of these different people that make up this cabal of woke warmongers?

00:36:36.380 Of course, Hillary Clinton is the lead of that.

00:36:39.680 They are people who don't care about our country and they they they don't believe in the Constitution.

00:36:46.140 And they're trying to remake this country into something that that that is their utopia of some sort.

00:36:53.220 So that defies the very foundation of what our country was founded upon.

00:36:57.380 So you were a Democrat, you still we still would disagree on many policies, but I respect you because you're at least honest and love the country.

00:37:08.880 And I truly believe that there are millions of Democrats that are all across the country that I may disagree with, but they love the country and they don't want to see it fundamentally destroyed and transformed.

00:37:21.700 They don't agree with these policies and they've been so brainwashed that they don't stand up against they believe that Donald Trump is the threat to democracy and they don't see what their own party is doing.

00:37:37.600 How is it they can go out and vote and then have these delegates and the superdelegates disregard that vote entirely and say, no, this is who you get.

00:37:51.520 How do how are they not up in arms, Tulsi?

00:37:55.860 Well, well, first of all, let's just go back.

00:37:58.020 There were a number of states that did not even hold primaries and so to and those that would not allow other Democratic candidates because, you know, obviously, Bobby Kennedy was was running to be the Democratic nominee.

00:38:13.940 There was a member of Congress.

00:38:15.700 I can't remember his name at the moment who was running, obviously, Marianne Williamson and may have been a few others who were running to be the Democratic nominee.

00:38:23.960 Many states would either not allow them on the ballot or did not hold primaries at all.

00:38:30.300 So the Democratic Party led by President Biden that claims to be the champions of democracy would not even allow a democratic process within their own primary.

00:38:41.320 So the the the anti-democracy initiative began there and it continues through.

00:38:47.480 So we shouldn't be surprised to see what they are doing today.

00:38:50.140 You know, they are trying to pretend that this is not a coronation of Kamala Harris, President Obama saying, oh, you know, this will be brought to the convention and delegates will have the opportunity to choose who the next Democratic nominee for president will be delegates.

00:39:05.180 But we know that's just a facade.

00:39:07.400 It is just a facade.

00:39:08.720 It's already been wrapped up.

00:39:13.680 Tulsi, thank you so much.

00:39:15.480 Appreciate it.

00:39:16.180 I know you got to run and you've just been overseas and keep it up.

00:39:20.520 Thank you so much.

00:39:21.880 Thank you, Glenn.

00:39:22.520 I appreciate you.

00:39:23.240 Talk to you soon.

00:39:24.040 You bet.

00:39:25.220 You bet.

00:39:25.600 And I'm sorry for insulting you.

00:39:26.940 Like the highest insult is to go.

00:39:28.960 Kamala Harris.

00:39:29.840 But Tulsi Gabbard.

00:39:31.780 So so, Pat, she didn't get to the answer that I'm looking for and I'm struggling with.

00:39:38.740 How do Democrats not see that the Democratic vote has been taken from them?

00:39:50.220 I mean, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, they both said in 2016 that that election was stolen, not by Donald Trump, but by Hillary Clinton.

00:40:01.520 OK, who cut their legs, Bernie Sanders legs right from underneath them.

00:40:06.360 And then they did the same thing with Joe Biden.

00:40:10.300 This is the third time they have taken the Democratic process and short circuited it.

00:40:20.740 Yeah.

00:40:21.500 And I think they knew this long ago that they were going to have to do this with with Joe Biden.

00:40:26.820 They just don't want the people to have a vote.

00:40:29.260 How is it people who are regular, normal Democrats who love the country?

00:40:35.280 How is it they're putting up with this, especially from the same people that every day are screaming about democracy and how they're trying to save democracy by keeping Donald Trump out of the White House?

00:40:49.180 I don't I don't know.

00:40:50.780 I don't know how you miss that.

00:40:52.200 Even when, you know, when we're all isolated to a certain extent, we all have our own circles and people who influence us and things that we watch that influence us.

00:41:02.760 And sometimes people don't get outside that sphere at all and get exposed to other ideas and other theories.

00:41:11.820 But you would think even if you're watching MSNBC and CNN and you're a rank and file Democrat in Iowa, you would think you would see their proclamations of saving democracy and then notice the hypocrisy from these kinds of things.

00:41:29.220 Unless you just don't pay attention. 0.78

00:41:30.660 Well, maybe would we be would we say no if let's say Donald Trump would have been shot and killed and we had to scramble and find somebody.

00:41:44.700 Wouldn't we say no, no, no, no, we and maybe it's different because he would have been killed, but we would say there's got to be some process we have to do something.

00:41:55.740 But I think we would just have flash elections, don't you think the Republicans would just try to put flash elections together?

00:42:01.420 I think we'd open the convention.

00:42:02.740 I think, of course, the convention might be in the past at that point.

00:42:09.200 But yeah, I think I think we'd be concerned about the process.

00:42:13.820 You can't just appoint somebody and just say, OK, the people have nothing to do with this.

00:42:19.220 And I guess the problem would be I would have if if Donald Trump would have died, it would it would change things.

00:42:31.780 If I found out that the party knew all of this stuff about Donald Trump and they had closed down and shut down all votes for anybody else and they had done all this stuff.
