00:00:00.000 In the 1960s, 95% of the clothing that was made here in America were the clothes that we bought.
00:00:09.740 95%.
00:00:10.300 Now, 97% is made overseas.
00:00:13.640 Complete reversal.
00:00:14.620 We don't do it.
00:00:15.320 We don't have the mills to do it.
00:00:17.380 We've lost the skills to do it.
00:00:19.880 That's why there's American Giant.
00:00:22.900 They started putting people back to work here in America and opening up plants again here in America.
00:00:28.420 Going out and buying the old mills and bringing some of the equipment back that we had sold overseas.
00:00:36.360 It's 10 years later now, and they make the best hoodie and some of the best clothing you'll ever find in America.
00:00:42.760 Cotton that's grown in America, milled in America, sewn and cut and assembled here in America.
00:00:48.260 It's American Giant.
00:00:50.920 American Giant.
00:00:52.460 Check them out today.
00:00:53.700 Get really quality American clothing.

00:01:01.240 We've got no room to compromise.
00:01:17.680 We've got to stand together.
00:01:19.740 It's the course of life.
00:01:23.800 Stand up, stand, hold the line.
00:01:26.640 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:42.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:44.980 Well, hello, America.
00:01:49.460 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:51.740 So, I don't know if you've heard this, but some people are claiming they have evidence now of the Biden family taking money from a Chinese communist-run energy company.
00:02:08.320 It's $3 million.
00:02:09.680 $3 million.
00:02:10.700 And I think everybody who is talking about it is asking the wrong question.
00:02:16.840 Because I started asking myself a question last night.
00:02:19.900 I started doing some homework, and I came in this morning and talked to my researchers and said,
00:02:24.320 I'll be out here, because I think everything begins to make sense if you ask one question.
00:02:33.720 What does that company do?
00:02:36.600 We'll do that in 60 seconds.
00:02:39.500 So, it's sad these days.
00:02:41.560 You want to go to target practice at the local range, and you have to have an armed guard to protect all the priceless ammunition that you're bringing in.
00:02:48.100 So, you know, if you're not the best shot in the world, you really need to practice.
00:02:53.400 Even if you are a great shot, if you're not practicing, well, the Ruskies can come in here and just take us all over, and you don't want that to you.
00:03:02.180 Don't forget, ChatGPT, Terminator, that stuff, I mean, soon it will be carrying a weapon as well.
00:03:11.340 You need to keep your skills honed, and you also need to save money.
00:03:15.900 So, may I recommend Mantis X.
00:03:18.980 This is what the Marines are now using to train their shooters.
00:03:23.260 It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system, widely now used by the military.
00:03:27.940 Helps improve your shooting quickly.
00:03:30.480 You attach it to your firearm, and it's almost like a...
00:03:34.900 I don't want to say it's like a laser dot, because it's not helping you see the target like a laser would.
00:03:45.900 What it does is it just monitors you, how you're holding the gun, what you're aiming on.
00:03:52.180 You don't need a target.
00:03:54.020 You can practice aiming at anything.
00:03:56.500 Then you squeeze the trigger, and it is looking at how you're squeezing the trigger, how your hand is moving during it.
00:04:02.780 And 94% of the shooters improve within 20 minutes.
00:04:05.640 I did.
00:04:06.720 I mean, my score went through the roof in just a few minutes, because I realized, because it tells you after each shot, this is what you did.
00:04:15.140 Here's how you have to change it.
00:04:16.860 And you can improve that fast.
00:04:19.320 It's like having a firearms instructor who can actually trace what you're doing standing right next to you.
00:04:27.660 It's amazing.
00:04:28.720 Start improving today.
00:04:29.800 Get yours at MantisX.com.
00:04:31.940 That's MantisX.com.
00:04:34.520 Okay, so this is the story that is coming out of Washington.
00:04:40.040 President Biden's daughter-in-law, Hallie, is the mysterious new Biden family member who got paid Chinese cash in 2017.
00:04:50.200 Hey, now, why is Hallie?
00:04:52.840 What is her expertise, Pat?
00:04:55.400 Can you just do a Google search of her and find out what her expertise is?
00:04:59.380 Because she must speak Mandarin, right?
00:05:02.220 She's got to be some sort of, you know, international oil trader or something like that.
00:05:07.660 Sure.
00:05:08.800 But now we have payments that are coming from a Chinese communist company, and they're going to Hallie, the daughter-in-law.
00:05:20.100 We're going to, of course, everybody's favorite drug addict, heroin user, and just complete, out-of-control, unbelievable explosion of a person, Hunter.
00:05:35.540 You've got Joe Biden's brother also getting payments.
00:05:39.940 Three million dollars.
00:05:42.300 And then there's a fourth payment.
00:05:43.860 They can't track it down yet because it's just under Biden in quotation marks.
00:05:50.100 So who could that be?
00:05:52.620 I wonder.
00:05:54.700 So if I'm a company and I am, you know, doing anything, would I hire Joe Biden's brother, who's not an expert in anything?
00:06:07.940 Would I hire Hallie, who, what does she do?
00:06:12.220 Do you know?
00:06:12.620 Do you, uh, she, uh, she, uh, doesn't seem to have a lot of expertise.
00:06:20.000 Right.
00:06:20.180 Okay.
00:06:20.940 You know, certainly not in the energy sector.
00:06:22.900 Okay.
00:06:23.420 Okay.
00:06:23.760 All right.
00:06:24.320 So why are you hiring her?
00:06:26.440 The brother, the daughter-in-law, and the drug addict.
00:06:32.260 Why are you, what do they bring to the table?
00:06:36.120 Okay.
00:06:39.240 Well, I don't know.
00:06:40.620 And nobody seems to know, but I'm sure it's just fine.
00:06:44.660 Now, if Donald Trump had been taking money from Russia, no, let's say England.
00:06:50.420 If he was taking money from England and he had any kind of foreign influence from England, an ally, I would have said, impeach him.
00:07:03.520 They said that he was, had money coming and deals going.
00:07:07.340 Remember the whole, hey, his bank is being pinged by the Russian bank.
00:07:11.300 Complete and total lie.
00:07:13.520 We now know.
00:07:14.940 Um, but if that was true, I would have said, impeach him.
00:07:18.500 We can't have a president having foreign influence.
00:07:24.220 Okay.
00:07:24.940 If he would have done the pee thing and the pee tape existed, I would have said, impeach him only because you can't have another country have anything on your president to influence them.
00:07:39.820 So, we've got $3 million now verified going to the daughter-in-law, the son, and the brother, and the fourth, quotation marks, Biden.
00:07:52.320 And this is just the beginning.
00:07:53.540 This is just the beginning.
00:07:54.760 This is one.
00:07:55.700 This is one of these deals.
00:07:58.400 Okay.
00:07:58.640 So, there's no reason that that family should get $3 million.
00:08:03.520 No reason.
00:08:04.700 No reason.
00:08:06.140 So, I asked the question yesterday, what does this company do?
00:08:13.120 And I found a couple of things.
00:08:14.500 They used to be in the garment industry, apparently.
00:08:18.500 Hmm.
00:08:19.320 I don't know what that is, but I don't think they're in that industry anymore.
00:08:22.360 And around 2016, 2017, the same time that these checks were cut, they decided to go into green energy.
00:08:34.640 Now, from what I can find on my early look at this, and I have my researchers looking at it over the weekend because most of it is in Mandarin.
00:08:43.660 Mandarin, so, you know, only Hallie will understand that.
00:08:46.500 But from what I can find, they claim to be the energy delivery system for Hong Kong.
00:08:55.240 I don't know if that's true.
00:08:57.260 What does that mean?
00:08:59.620 Can somebody ask, what does this company do?
00:09:04.860 It seems to me to be a company that is just an investment company that just invests in companies.
00:09:13.000 Okay.
00:09:13.320 I don't know.
00:09:16.500 But it's a green investment company.
00:09:22.460 Now, if you are going to be the president of the United States, and I happen to have contacts with you,
00:09:31.480 and I happen to be, you know, a high-up party member of the Communist Party,
00:09:39.020 okay, this is like somebody that was in the Kremlin dealing with Ronald Reagan.
00:09:46.660 Would you have a problem with that?
00:09:49.840 So, the guy who's part of the communist cult over there, he's in this company, and he's like,
00:09:58.160 you know, let's get the Biden family on the phone.
00:10:01.900 That would be impeachable if they did anything.
00:10:07.860 Not to get them on the phone, but to accept checks, that's impeachable.
00:10:12.420 Okay?
00:10:12.920 And we cannot stand for it.
00:10:15.260 It is our biggest enemy.
00:10:17.040 But if, again, if I were running the company, forget all the communist stuff, if I was running the company,
00:10:25.140 and I was in green energy, and I knew that the incoming presidency would, you know, probably be friendly to green energy,
00:10:37.140 I might want to give them some kickbacks here.
00:10:40.280 Hey, listen, help us out on the green energy thing.
00:10:43.440 I mean, have you thought about pushing this, this, and this?
00:10:46.400 I mean, just saying, three million mugs.
00:10:50.500 Now, I have no evidence that that is a quid pro quo, but there is a quid pro quo somewhere.
00:10:57.940 You just don't shell out three million dollars for nothing in exchange.
00:11:04.120 So, what was it that they did and got?
00:11:09.320 But if you think about this as, okay, wait a minute.
00:11:13.020 We know that he was dirty with energy companies in Ukraine.
00:11:17.000 We know he's dirty with energy companies more than one in China.
00:11:22.700 Well, now, wait a minute.
00:11:24.160 That starts to explain a few things.
00:11:28.400 EPA just tightened yesterday emissions restrictions on power plants.
00:11:35.360 Factories imposing 50% smog reduction.
00:11:40.380 They now have to, 50% smog reduction.
00:11:45.120 They now have to live up to that from the EPA.
00:11:49.600 The EPA says it's going to save thousands of lives.
00:11:52.620 Well, 50% smog reduction, I don't know how hard that is, but if it's cutting our energy supply, it's probably not going to save lives.
00:12:02.420 It will probably kill lives.
00:12:06.400 Huh, that's energy.
00:12:08.100 Getting out of coal and into clean energy.
00:12:14.900 Huh.
00:12:15.180 There's a story in the Wall Street Journal today.
00:12:18.060 Why gas bills are going crazy with no end in sight.
00:12:22.240 You know why?
00:12:24.740 Well, it looks like it just keeps going up and down and up and down and people are just getting screwed and they're all confused.
00:12:33.620 We just don't know why this is happening.
00:12:37.880 Well, it's becoming the norm now because, and I'm quoting the Wall Street Journal, coal-fired power plants have been retired en masse without any wind and solar farms ready to replace their output.
00:12:54.720 Okay, next story.
00:12:56.640 New DOE efficiency rules will make washing machines more costly and less effective.
00:13:04.300 Why?
00:13:04.960 Because they don't want you using gas-fired anything anymore.
00:13:11.360 And they want to cut back on the energy.
00:13:13.720 So you're not going to be able to get your water temperature as hot as you used to be able to get it to wash your clothes.
00:13:22.560 So again, with the energy, hmm.
00:13:25.240 And this is from a country now, the United States of America, where the people are not for all those things.
00:13:33.800 And nearly two-thirds of Americans, 61%, say that our greatest foreign adversary is China.
00:13:44.640 Hmm.
00:13:45.480 Oh, another story.
00:13:47.800 China cut U.S. Treasury holdings to the lowest level since the global financial crisis of 08.
00:13:53.660 So they're starting to, and they've been doing this for six months now, and we've told you about it, they're liquidating all of their American holdings.
00:14:04.240 What are they doing?
00:14:05.480 They're preparing to completely disengage with the United States of America.
00:14:11.160 I told you this would happen.
00:14:13.780 At some point, they're going to start to shed all of their holdings of American debt.
00:14:21.640 They won't buy anymore, and they'll just start shedding them.
00:14:24.540 And they'll do it slowly at first.
00:14:26.960 And then when we're at a weakest point, and they believe it won't impact them negatively, they will just dump the rest of them.
00:14:37.460 That's coming, gang.
00:14:41.720 That's coming.
00:14:43.460 Our president, right now, is weakening our financial system by what?
00:14:49.620 Making sure that ESG, which is not based in profit margin at all.
00:14:57.580 He is impoverishing our companies, our country, and our individuals who have savings.
00:15:07.260 Meanwhile, he is spending like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse.
00:15:16.780 Raising inflation.
00:15:19.620 He's cutting our energy.
00:15:21.800 So far, I'm not seeing anything that China wouldn't love.
00:15:26.760 Now, that's just China energy.
00:15:29.920 They keep saying that Ukraine is about borders.
00:15:35.760 Well, I have a hard time with that one because Ukraine being about borders,
00:15:41.880 why would he care about the border of Ukraine and not the border here in the U.S.?
00:15:50.020 Why is our border?
00:15:52.340 Why should it be open for all the free love and people and bring everybody together?
00:15:59.060 And, hey, borders don't affect people.
00:16:02.300 They don't affect animals.
00:16:03.520 We're animals.
00:16:04.300 Why can't we just roam free?
00:16:07.820 All that bull crap that they're shoveling every day.
00:16:12.520 Why are we now at $120 billion to protect Ukraine's borders?
00:16:20.060 Doesn't make sense.
00:16:21.260 You know why?
00:16:21.880 Because it's not about borders.
00:16:23.120 I'll tell you what that's about just based in this little conversation next.
00:16:30.100 Drew lives in Texas.
00:16:32.620 When he was in his 40s, he had an accident that left him dealing with a lot of pain in
00:16:37.060 his back and shoulders.
00:16:38.420 For months, it was difficult for him to get around.
00:16:41.200 And if you know Drew, that's not how he rolls.
00:16:44.820 Fortunately for Drew, he heard about Relief Factor a few years ago.
00:16:48.280 He finally decided he's going to give it a try.
00:16:50.320 Within the first few weeks, he said he was pleasantly shocked to find almost all of his
00:16:55.020 pain gone, and he's been taking it ever since.
00:16:57.320 He's now just entering his 50s, and he realizes Relief Factor is responsible for him to be
00:17:03.940 able to live the life that he wants, and he wants to live.
00:17:09.380 The three-week quick start.
00:17:11.280 It's 1995.
00:17:12.600 It's a trial package.
00:17:14.120 Try it like Drew did.
00:17:15.460 Try it like I did.
00:17:17.100 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.
00:17:19.460 70% of them go on to order more.
00:17:21.360 It's relieffactor.com.
00:17:23.220 You can call 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:17:25.620 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:17:27.040 It's relieffactor.com.
00:17:29.640 Feel the difference.
00:17:31.060 10 seconds.
00:17:31.660 Station ID.
00:17:42.400 So I don't know if you saw the Seymour Hersh lecture, I guess, at the press club in Washington,
00:17:50.300 D.C.
00:17:50.800 I watched it yesterday, and it is, I mean, he is very clear.
00:17:57.260 The only ones that could have done this are the United States of America, not some people
00:18:01.340 on a fishing boat.
00:18:02.900 And he even went as far as saying about Joe Biden, quote, I'm telling you, he did it,
00:18:10.460 end quote.
00:18:12.500 Blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline.
00:18:14.580 Hmm.
00:18:15.580 Hmm.
00:18:16.740 Was that because of borders?
00:18:20.640 Was that to collapse Russia?
00:18:24.260 Or is that to make sure there's no going back on fossil fuels for Europe?
00:18:30.080 We know that Hunter Biden was super, super, super important on the Burisma board.
00:18:42.060 Burisma?
00:18:43.320 What?
00:18:43.500 Oh, he was helping them explore for new energy.
00:18:51.300 Uh-huh.
00:18:53.360 Hmm.
00:18:55.000 It seems to me that this is really about energy.
00:19:01.080 Anyone who is, who has ever said, the evil Dick Cheney with Halliburton, where are you on
00:19:12.040 this?
00:19:14.320 We, people are dying because we want to change energy.
00:19:20.220 And why is it we want to change energy?
00:19:23.100 Is it to save the planet?
00:19:25.260 Is it?
00:19:26.060 Is it really?
00:19:27.100 Because if you look at ESG, that has nothing, nothing to do with saving the planet.
00:19:35.540 That has everything to do with making money, with the rich getting richer.
00:19:42.200 Now, if I happen to be a Biden, where my family just has, I mean, out of control talent, apparently
00:19:50.680 in energy, and I'm getting paid from really corrupt countries and a communist country at
00:19:58.860 that, and it's the energy sector that's paying me, and then my dad or my stepdad or my brother
00:20:07.400 just happens to go on and say, hey, I want to destroy all fossil fuels.
00:20:12.620 I want to start on new energy.
00:20:16.320 Boy, if you had that information and you knew that's where it was going, wow, could you make
00:20:22.940 a lot of money, especially if you knew you had the banks and everybody going the same way.
00:20:31.480 Wow, you could make a fortune on that.
00:20:35.660 Now, this may not be happening.
00:20:40.300 These all may be separate things.
00:20:42.880 The war in Ukraine, the energy here, the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline, the coincidence
00:20:50.440 that, you know, Hunter was on the board of an energy company and they're getting paid in
00:20:55.880 China for another energy company.
00:20:59.300 Those could all be coincidence.
00:21:01.900 Really, seriously, they could be.
00:21:05.660 But I don't like coincidence.
00:21:08.600 I think coincidence, I don't know.
00:21:13.820 Sometimes they happen.
00:21:16.380 But gosh, there's an awful lot of them piling up here.
00:21:22.940 You want to know what's wrong with our country right now?
00:21:27.600 We've sold out to big business.
00:21:30.520 We've sold out to corrupt politicians all over the world, not just here, all over the
00:21:39.020 world.
00:21:39.860 And people all over the world know it.
00:21:42.460 That's why the farmers are rising up in Europe.
00:21:45.280 They know this is corrupt.
00:21:47.780 You're not doing the right thing for the people or the planet.
00:21:51.580 This is corrupt.
00:21:52.520 We have we have gone so far awry and somehow or another, we've got to find those those people
00:22:06.140 that voted for Democrats because they thought they were against these things and just help
00:22:13.780 them see, no, you're actually enabling all of these things to a greater degree than I think
00:22:21.480 has ever happened in American history.
00:22:26.200 That, I think, is what's really happening.
00:22:28.500 Oh, but I didn't tie in COVID.
00:22:30.740 I'll do that next.
00:22:31.960 Many years ago, a man named Mike Lindell had a dream.
00:22:39.160 His dream was to give other people dreams.
00:22:41.560 I know it's a weird dream because it's a dream within a dream, but he wanted to give them
00:22:45.500 dreams and lots of them.
00:22:48.100 So he invented my pillow.
00:22:49.320 Ever since then, tons of people, myself included, have found themselves drifting off to sweet
00:22:53.760 dreams while laying their heads down on the most comfortable pillow ever created.
00:22:58.160 I have to tell you, it's weird because it's not like it's not like you lay your head on
00:23:04.440 it and you're like, oh, my gosh, this is the most comfortable because I've laid in beds
00:23:08.700 and with pillows like that and you get up the next morning like, ow, ow, ow.
00:23:14.320 This has I don't know how he does it, but it's some structure inside.
00:23:18.160 You punch it on both sides, you know, to fluff it up one time and it stays that way at night.
00:23:25.680 You can adjust it any way you want.
00:23:27.360 It's really an amazing thing.
00:23:28.740 Well, now he has come up with MyPillow 2.0, which now regulates the temperature with this
00:23:34.980 high-tech thread, believe it or not.

00:23:56.360 So the Hong Kong Energy Company, which wired $3 million to the Biden family,
00:24:22.520 she was run by multiple members of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:24:29.480 I'm sure that was no big deal.
00:24:34.100 Then why is everybody hiding this?
00:24:36.020 Why does this have to come out in an investigation?
00:24:42.900 Why isn't that just out there?
00:24:44.040 If you have nothing to hide, why isn't that just out there?
00:24:48.820 And why wasn't it just out there back when it happened?
00:24:52.580 Yeah.
00:24:52.860 In 2017.
00:24:54.160 Correct.
00:24:54.980 It's been six years.
00:24:56.140 I want to tell you a couple of things.
00:24:57.800 I believe the turning point in this country, there's been several presidents that have turned
00:25:03.520 this country.
00:25:04.460 Abraham Lincoln turned it.
00:25:06.100 Before that, it was Andrew Jackson.
00:25:07.980 He's the guy where I think the founders would have come back after Jackson and said,
00:25:13.620 what country do you have now?
00:25:15.280 What is your constitution?
00:25:16.800 It changed.
00:25:18.020 Then it changed again under Lincoln.
00:25:21.080 Then it changed under Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, and Wilson.
00:25:27.140 Changed it permanently.
00:25:29.380 Then FDR came in, made his changes.
00:25:33.600 Johnson was another big milestone.
00:25:37.360 And then you would go to, after Johnson, you would go to Barack Obama.
00:25:40.820 But I'd like to make a stop at Bill Clinton for a second.
00:25:44.920 Because the Clinton administration taught us a couple of things.
00:25:49.860 One, deny, deny, deny.
00:25:53.940 People will weary of the argument, and then it won't matter.
00:25:58.000 Look at everything that's going on.
00:26:02.100 They accuse, accuse, accuse.
00:26:04.880 Donald Trump, deny, deny, deny.
00:26:07.640 Well, as long as the accusers are on the, quote, right side, which would be the left,
00:26:13.540 you're painted that way, and it doesn't matter.
00:26:16.660 You're always painted that way.
00:26:19.860 But the reverse is also true.
00:26:22.760 The Hunter Biden laptop.
00:26:24.660 That's not even his.
00:26:25.940 Those are all made up.
00:26:27.060 No, they're not.
00:26:29.500 Well, we've argued about it for so long.
00:26:31.720 Now that it's his, it's like, oh, yeah, that was his.
00:26:34.460 No big deal.
00:26:35.800 Same thing is going to happen with the Chinese stuff.
00:26:38.880 Yeah, okay, so what?
00:26:39.740 He took money.
00:26:40.480 He took money from our biggest enemy.
00:26:45.340 I don't know.
00:26:46.240 That's kind of a big deal.
00:26:48.580 Kind of a big deal.
00:26:49.900 And I know, even if, even if you say, he didn't take a dime personally, bull crap.
00:26:56.300 But, even if that's true, if every one of my family was taking money from MSNBC, I think I'd have a talk with my family.
00:27:10.560 What is exactly you guys doing?
00:27:12.660 What are you doing for MSNBC?
00:27:14.720 Because you guys don't have any talent in any of this stuff.
00:27:18.400 Why are they writing you giant checks?
00:27:21.920 Isn't that something that maybe should be asked if Biden was completely clean?
00:27:25.940 Of course it would be.
00:27:28.440 The next thing that you learned from Clinton is sex isn't sex.
00:27:33.800 Okay, so our kids started going down that road.
00:27:36.760 Another thing he taught us, definition of is.
00:27:40.900 How many times have we played word games lately?
00:27:46.480 Starts with the definition of is.
00:27:49.240 The last thing he taught, which I think Joe Biden has perfected, is how to get rich and be slippery enough to never get caught.
00:28:03.860 How to become just a, just one of the most powerful, economic, powerful companies or families in the country.
00:28:16.080 Where do they get all their money?
00:28:17.620 They did it through charity, that's right.
00:28:21.320 And everybody knows that charity is a sham.
00:28:24.140 Everybody knows it.
00:28:26.540 Do you know that yesterday in the, in the White House briefing, no one asked, not one question was asked about the $3 million from the Chinese company.
00:28:42.300 Not one curious reporter.
00:28:45.380 Huh, that's weird, isn't it?
00:28:51.400 Oh, by the way, let me just, let me just take you a couple of other places.
00:28:55.440 And let me start with, with COVID.
00:28:57.520 Do you remember when we found out that we had all these bioweapons labs and we had to send in special teams into Ukraine to destroy them?
00:29:08.880 Remember that?
00:29:11.840 They're now, they're now, they're now saying, no, none of that is true.
00:29:17.180 But we know from documents from the laptop that that was something that Hunter was being paid to do to try to get bioweapon technology into these labs.
00:29:29.220 Now, our president has just erased them.
00:29:33.880 And now our media and our embassies are saying, oh, no, no, no, that's not true.
00:29:39.560 Okay, well, okay, I'd like to believe you, but you also said that you didn't have any ties to the Wuhan lab in China.
00:29:47.840 Listen to this story.
00:29:51.120 Evidence suggests U.S. has known since 2017 about ties between Wuhan's lab and Beijing's bioweapons program.
00:30:00.960 Yet, federal agencies still funded the research there.
00:30:05.160 As President Joe Biden weighs whether to sign a law passed unanimously by Congress.
00:30:10.840 Think of that, where it are most divided, I in my lifetime have never seen something pass both the House and the Senate with zero nays.
00:30:25.680 One hundred percent agreement.
00:30:29.180 And he's thinking about vetoing it.
00:30:31.980 And what was that bill?
00:30:33.160 Will release all of the information on the COVID-19 virus and all of the investigations into where where it came from?
00:30:46.280 Well, new evidence has emerged.
00:30:48.600 The State Department and National Institutes of Health routed at least one point seven million dollars in tax dollars to the Wuhan virology lab.
00:30:57.160 Despite evidence, it was tied to the Chinese military and possibly the Chinese nation's bioweapons program.
00:31:06.700 The United States first declared in 2005 State Department document that communist China maintain an offensive biological weapons program in violation of its treaty.
00:31:17.120 Decades later, multiple medical publications emerged from China that linked the research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the very lab that the FBI and Energy Department and other U.S. intelligence agencies now believe the source of the leak started from.
00:31:36.320 It's also the same lab that received grants from a contractor working for Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
00:31:46.160 Also, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the foreign aid arm of the State Department.
00:31:53.620 The 2015 study posted on the NIH National Library of Medicine site shows collaboration between the Wuhan lab and the United States on anthrax spores.
00:32:08.580 Several other studies between 2015 and 2019 also listed both the Chinese science organizations as collaborators.
00:32:15.920 One of the most troubling links cited in an unclassified report released in December by the House Intelligence Committee was the 2015 book in which China scientists tied both AMMS and the Wuhan lab.
00:32:29.480 They declared that the coronaviruses were at the leading edge of a new era of genetic weapons warfare.
00:32:38.200 That we apparently knew that they were working on coronaviruses and they've denied it.
00:32:50.900 I'm telling you, if the people who were in charge of these things, the people who lied under oath over and over, the people who, well, it depends on what the definition is.
00:33:07.620 I mean, what were we talking about?
00:33:09.800 Well, that's your definition of it.
00:33:11.580 It's not my definition of it.
00:33:15.060 I mean, they changed the definition of a vaccine.
00:33:22.440 You don't think they're going to change definitions to keep themselves out of jail and keep the money flowing?
00:33:28.960 How many people have to die before people in this country wake up and say, wait a minute, there seems to be something weird going on.
00:33:41.980 Our government is getting rich.
00:33:44.260 Our president's son is involved in it.
00:33:47.800 Anthony Fauci, deeply involved in it.
00:33:51.440 We've got payoffs going everywhere.
00:33:53.940 They're breaking our own laws by doing this kind of research.
00:34:01.400 And millions died.
00:34:05.300 And then a few got very, very, very wealthy.
00:34:09.020 This is the America no voter wanted.
00:34:18.460 No voter wanted this.
00:34:20.560 I think people who are, you know, I think, hapless dupes of the left that are like, yeah, we're going to burn down the courthouse because we're going to be free.
00:34:32.280 Freedom.
00:34:32.600 I think those people would say they're against exactly what's going on.
00:34:40.000 And what are we doing?
00:34:41.600 We're empowering it.
00:34:43.140 We're giving it more power.
00:34:45.900 We are sitting around accepting stuff that should never be accepted, never would have been accepted.
00:34:54.100 But they've convinced you that they have all the power and you don't.
00:35:01.000 I'm telling you, once this is why they have to keep us divided.
00:35:05.320 They have to keep us divided because if we ever stand up together, they're done.
00:35:11.800 Once we say to them, you know what?
00:35:14.300 Neither side is serious about this.
00:35:17.320 We've learned our lesson with the Republicans.
00:35:20.740 Democrats, have you learned your lesson yet?
00:35:22.860 Because they're doing the same thing and it's all benefiting them and none of us.
00:35:31.020 It's not helping heal the planet.
00:35:33.820 I don't believe that we're never going to see snow.
00:35:37.940 My children won't see snow.
00:35:40.460 That's what they said in 2000.
00:35:42.160 By 2020, there will be no snow on any mountaintops.
00:35:45.580 Well, you got that one wrong.
00:35:47.460 But I do believe we should take care of the planet.
00:35:51.640 Jeez, I read an agonizing story about octopus farms today.
00:35:56.980 I mean, jeez.
00:35:58.280 And I actually felt bad for the octopus.
00:36:01.320 Okay?
00:36:02.800 And those things freak me out.
00:36:04.960 They're like sea spiders.
00:36:06.680 I don't like them.
00:36:07.760 But we're reasonable people.
00:36:14.140 They're keeping us apart.
00:36:16.280 And they're only showing us the extremes.
00:36:19.040 And anyone who starts to make sense, all of a sudden is an extremist.
00:36:28.080 And everybody piles in.
00:36:29.880 We have to stay focused on a few things.
00:36:33.800 And I think pulling on the thread of the $3 million from an energy company run by the communist to our president's family with one other person that's just, quote, Biden, end quote.
00:36:55.080 And why do the other ones have the first and last name?
00:37:01.540 And this one only has Biden.
00:37:03.660 What does that mean?
00:37:05.560 Was it Dr. Jill?
00:37:06.880 She is a doctor.
00:37:07.840 I forgot about that.
00:37:09.720 Maybe she's got her doctorate in anti-petrochemical stuff.
00:37:18.680 Stay focused.
00:37:21.240 Don't add to the divide.
00:37:22.680 Point out what's wrong in America and how to fix it.
00:37:30.180 The Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
00:37:34.700 Today, you can make an important decision.
00:37:37.160 Do you keep your current cell phone plan?
00:37:39.700 You know, the one where you shell out enormous amounts of money.
00:37:42.220 Have you looked at your bill?
00:37:43.460 Have you seen all the add-ons that they put on there with big mobile corporations?
00:37:47.380 And then they're also donating some of your money to leftist causes, the things that tear us apart.
00:37:52.860 You don't have to do that.
00:37:55.060 You know, every day I sit down and I pour a Coke Zero and I hate myself for it.
00:38:01.140 But I can't.
00:38:02.320 I mean, everything I tried, Coca-Cola owns.
00:38:06.540 And I hate Pepsi.
00:38:08.520 Coca-Cola owns the water.
00:38:10.720 They own everything, it seems.
00:38:12.240 You can't get away from them.
00:38:15.280 Oh, but big tech?
00:38:17.340 Mobile phones?
00:38:18.560 Oh, yes, you can.
00:38:20.380 If you have mobile service right now, you can switch to the only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:38:26.960 And if you want dependable nationwide coverage, they're on the platforms of all three major carriers, which means you're getting the best possible service wherever you're at.
00:38:38.460 And if you're not satisfied with the coverage, they have a guarantee it'll let you switch back to the other network for free without changing carriers.
00:38:46.740 Look, you're doing business with a company that respects you, likes you, fights for you, fights for the Bill of Rights, and offers you a great service at an unbelievable price.

00:39:13.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:29.240 Didn't go well for him.
00:39:30.740 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:32.140 This week we've been telling you about the Silicon Valley bank collapse, the financial crisis that has headed our way, the proxy war with Russia that's escalating, China.
00:39:42.240 China decided to set up in Hawaii with their lasers apparently to measure the earth, but we now find out that that was to give exact guidance to their hypersonic missiles.
00:39:53.740 That's wonderful.
00:39:54.260 Hey, I have a new quiz at Glenn Beck.com I'd like you to take.
00:39:58.980 How prepared are you for a crisis of any kind?
00:40:03.480 All of my email subscribers are going to get exclusive access to the preparedness guide, which gives you tons of practical tips on making sure that you and your family are taken care of.
00:40:12.060 But take the quiz.
00:40:12.960 Just go to Glenn Beck.com and sign up for the newsletter for the exclusive preparedness guide to help you best prepare for your loved ones on the future.
00:40:22.080 I can't wait to see the results of the quiz on how prepared this audience is.
00:40:29.560 Stu took it before he left on vacation, and it didn't fare well.
00:40:36.300 It didn't fare well.
00:40:37.020 Oh, no.
00:40:37.540 But we should take it on the air.
00:40:39.960 I'd like to hear it from you, Pat, because you're really, you consider yourself pretty prepared, don't you?
00:40:44.320 Yeah, fairly.
00:40:44.900 Yeah.
00:40:45.260 Mm-hmm.
00:40:46.300 And so we'll take that together.
00:40:48.680 Also, what about the dollar?
00:40:53.440 Texas did something under Rick Perry that I highly recommended for all states to do.
00:41:01.460 Get your gold out of the Federal Reserve and keep it in your own state.
00:41:04.600 They did.
00:41:05.120 Now there's a movement here in Texas in the legislature to make gold the standard and make it currency.
00:41:15.500 We'll have more on that coming up.
00:41:16.940 We'll have more on that coming up.
00:41:31.320 We got no room to compromise.
00:41:36.180 We got to stand together.
00:41:38.140 It's going to survive.
00:41:42.320 Stand up, stand, and hold the line.
00:41:45.000 It's a new day I'm trying to raise.
00:41:53.080 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:42:00.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:03.320 I was just asked by one of my researchers, Glenn, why aren't you covering this story today?
00:42:12.080 And I said, because I don't feel like there's a solution to that.
00:42:16.700 And if there's not a solution, we've got enough problems.
00:42:20.940 And I will mention that problem so people are aware of it.
00:42:24.780 But I'm not going to spend a lot of time if I don't think there's a solution here that can actually be done.
00:42:32.060 That's why I'm just at the end of my rope with Congress and the investigations.
00:42:37.960 Okay, good.
00:42:39.220 You have these documents.
00:42:41.700 Now what?
00:42:43.260 Will anyone actually stand trial?
00:42:46.300 Will anything happen?
00:42:48.580 That's what I want to see.
00:42:49.820 I've been talking to you about the situation with our dollar for a while
00:42:55.740 and been telling you that you can't let this UCC bill pass in your state.
00:43:03.360 You can find out all about it at glennbeck.com.
00:43:06.500 It's a little bit wonky, but it will pave the way for the central bank digital currency,
00:43:16.640 what's called CBDC.
00:43:19.540 It's got, it's, it cannot pass.
00:43:22.080 It cannot pass.
00:43:23.700 There is something else that is going on.
00:43:25.800 And I think Utah may be the only state that has this done.
00:43:29.620 There may be a couple of states that has this done.
00:43:32.200 Texas is now coming on board.
00:43:34.580 In fact, this idea, I think kind of was, was hatched on one of our shows here on Blaze TV, Economic War Room.
00:43:41.120 Um, they are now putting in front of, uh, the, uh, Texas House legislation that will make gold coins and silver coins legal tender.
00:43:54.740 That's a big deal.
00:43:55.920 I want you to listen to this, support it in Texas, and then try to get it going in your state as well.
00:44:01.700 We do that in 60 seconds.
00:44:03.080 If you wake up every day feeling like you just got hit by a truck, if you have aches and pains that control almost everything you do,
00:44:11.080 I know what it's like, and I spent years fighting my pain, mostly unsuccessfully.
00:44:16.440 But by the time I got around to trying Relief Factor, I had basically hit rock bottom,
00:44:20.460 and I was, you know, I didn't think that there was any hope left of actually getting out and having a pain-free day.
00:44:25.680 Well, my wife made me try Relief Factor, and I did, because I listened to my wife, and my wife is,
00:44:34.540 well, she wasn't as wrong as she usually is.
00:44:38.300 Oh my gosh.
00:44:39.840 My wife was right, as she almost always is, um, and, uh, I take it every day, and I am out of pain,
00:44:47.840 and it is a godsend to me.
00:44:50.300 I got my life back.
00:44:51.180 Would you just try it, please, for three weeks?
00:44:54.020 1995 trial, packed, not a drug, developed by doctors.
00:44:57.000 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, 70% of them.
00:45:00.360 Go on to order more month after month.
00:45:02.780 ReliefFactor.com.
00:45:03.940 800, the number four relief.
00:45:05.520 800, the number four relief.
00:45:07.340 Get the 1995 three-week quick start.
00:45:10.220 ReliefFactor.com.
00:45:11.460 800, the number four relief.
00:45:13.660 Relief Factor.
00:45:14.600 Feel the difference.
00:45:16.560 Okay.
00:45:16.940 We have a Texas state senator on with us.
00:45:20.000 His name is Brian Hughes.
00:45:21.460 Um, and Texas has now introduced legislation in the House and the Senate that could make
00:45:27.860 gold or silver legal tender.
00:45:30.380 Senator, welcome.
00:45:31.340 How are you, sir?
00:45:33.180 Good.
00:45:33.460 Have a great day.
00:45:34.400 Thanks for having me on.
00:45:35.400 You bet.
00:45:36.040 Okay.
00:45:36.280 So tell me, uh, where this bill is, what it exactly does, and why it's important.
00:45:44.240 Several years ago, Texas established its own gold bullion depository.
00:45:48.780 Thank God.
00:45:49.280 The state of Texas taxpayer, you know, and a lot of gold investments, and we were concerned
00:45:53.500 it was being stored in New York and other places, and so we wanted our own bullion depository.
00:45:59.680 Along with that, we wanted to have the option of trading in gold and silver, and so we've
00:46:05.000 had the bullion depository established for several years, and now a Senate bill 2334 that
00:46:10.800 I filed, and there's a companion in the House by Representative DeRazio, will allow Texas to
00:46:16.120 establish a gold-backed digital currency.
00:46:20.200 So we're talking about currency, and backed by gold, a digital currency issued by the state
00:46:26.620 of Texas.
00:46:27.960 So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you kind of lost me on this.
00:46:31.100 Why is it digital?
00:46:32.080 The idea about digital is to make it practical so that folks can use it in commerce.
00:46:38.880 Of course, tied to gold, real currency, backed by gold, not fiat money, and this is about
00:46:45.640 the state of Texas making this available.
00:46:48.660 There's also concern about what the feds may be doing, and this is a defense mechanism
00:46:52.920 against that.
00:46:53.840 Okay, so hang on just a second.
00:46:57.680 First of all, have you seen the UCC bill in Texas yet?
00:47:01.760 Has it gotten to Texas, and are you guys...
00:47:04.460 I have not.
00:47:05.120 Okay, can you keep your eye out for that, because that is laying foundational work for
00:47:09.700 digital currency from the Fed.
00:47:11.700 The idea that this is digital does make it easier to use, but what stops the state of
00:47:22.260 Texas from gathering the information and doing basically, you know, I'm not saying you guys
00:47:28.460 would, but you start things like this, and then somebody else gets in charge, and you got
00:47:34.120 the same problem.
00:47:35.320 What stops you from doing what the Fed wants to do, which is control that money?
00:47:40.260 This is something we're treading very lightly with, because we have an eye on what the
00:47:45.240 feds are doing, the very thing you're describing, and Texas, we believe, needs this to defend
00:47:50.960 our people against what the feds are up to.
00:47:53.680 That has a lot to do with it.
00:47:55.020 Of course, safeguards put in place, and I think we all agree that the government closer to the
00:47:59.480 people is more responsive, more accountable, and so the states should be the ones doing this,
00:48:06.020 not the feds.
00:48:07.060 Have you been into our repository?
00:48:10.720 Texas?
00:48:11.800 I have not.
00:48:13.160 I would really like to take a tour of that.
00:48:16.140 I mean, I remember talking to Rick Perry, and I said to him early on, you got to get
00:48:21.680 your gold back.
00:48:22.280 This is when I was in New York, got to get your gold back.
00:48:24.580 And he said, we're working on it.
00:48:27.320 And I thought for sure there was no way Texas was going to get their gold.
00:48:30.780 And we did.
00:48:32.900 And then we built, from what I understand, it is one of, if not the safest place in Texas,
00:48:40.840 and one of the most incredible repositories in the world.
00:48:45.720 That's what I've heard.
00:48:46.480 You know, Glenn, when we passed the bill, we thought about maybe putting it at the Alamo,
00:48:51.120 which would be appropriate.
00:48:52.940 It just didn't work physically.
00:48:55.860 And so you're right.
00:48:57.400 It makes sense.
00:48:58.940 Texas needed to do it.
00:49:00.400 You proposed it.
00:49:01.100 Kevin Freeman, who I know works with you a lot.
00:49:03.420 Yeah.
00:49:03.520 I pushed this for a long time, and it has a lot to do with the bill we're working on
00:49:07.980 now on the gold back digital.
00:49:09.420 But you're exactly right.
00:49:10.320 Texas has her own gold bullion depository.
00:49:13.540 So this is kind of like the Glint MasterCard.
00:49:17.620 That's the idea.
00:49:18.700 As you know, make a transaction with that, and it calculates the exchange rate and does
00:49:23.660 it for you.
00:49:24.360 The difference with the Glint MasterCard, of course, is that you have to deal with capital
00:49:28.500 gains, right, since it's not currency.
00:49:31.240 Correct.
00:49:31.800 So our goal is to get the benefits of both.
00:49:34.760 I thought that it said in the Constitution states cannot produce their own currency.
00:49:40.320 Interesting.
00:49:41.160 It says that they can make gold and silver coin a tender and payment of debts, Article
00:49:45.640 1, Section 10, Article 1.
00:49:47.920 And so there's some litigation about this.
00:49:49.860 Not much has been determined about this, but there's at least one U.S. Supreme Court indicating
00:49:53.940 that gold certificates, so not the coins, but gold certificates issued by a state bank
00:49:59.780 are legal tender.
00:50:01.440 We don't doubt as this moves forward, there'll be litigation.
00:50:03.760 The feds aren't going to like it, but things are pretty dire, as you of all people know.
00:50:08.520 So we want to make sure Texas has every possible defense.
00:50:11.320 Okay.
00:50:11.460 So how do you get people involved?
00:50:13.120 What do you need them to do?
00:50:15.180 Thank you so much.
00:50:16.420 The Senate Bill 2334, House Bill 4903.
00:50:21.240 They've both been filed.
00:50:22.520 They'll be moving to committees very soon.
00:50:24.660 And so folks in Texas can let their legislators know how they feel about those bills.
00:50:28.820 And of course, we want input.
00:50:30.420 A lot of folks are concerned about the digital aspect, as you raised.
00:50:33.720 Again, we want to make sure we have a defense against what the feds are doing and just real
00:50:39.400 money, gold-backed currency, real money with real value in times like these.
00:50:44.780 That's great.
00:50:45.160 I appreciate it.
00:50:46.040 There's a reason I'm glad I live in Texas is you have your own gold and it can stand.
00:50:53.000 Ryan, thank you very much.
00:50:53.940 I appreciate it.
00:50:55.140 Thanks for having me on.
00:50:56.020 You bet.
00:50:56.380 Bye-bye.
00:50:56.640 You know, I just put a poll up at glennbeck.com.
00:51:03.180 I'm anxious to go over the preparedness quiz with you next week.
00:51:08.660 We're taking a poll.
00:51:10.420 It's not for individuals.
00:51:12.360 It is just to gauge the preparedness of this audience.
00:51:15.260 And I'll give you the results next week.
00:51:17.320 But I want you to go to glennbeck.com and take the preparedness quiz.
00:51:21.100 When you do, you can also sign up for my free email newsletter.
00:51:26.520 And with that, I think it might go out tomorrow.
00:51:30.600 I'm not sure.
00:51:32.100 But we're giving you all of the checklist on what you should have, depending on what level
00:51:39.300 you want to be at at preparedness.
00:51:40.820 You know, I'm still looking for a gently used x-ray machine.
00:51:49.920 So, I mean, I'm at a different level of preparedness.
00:51:52.980 But anyway, depending on how you want to prepare, it will help you with this checklist.
00:52:01.480 You'll get that at glennbeck.com by signing up for the free email newsletter.
00:52:05.760 With the newsletter, you also get all of the stories that I just can't get to.
00:52:11.440 But it is my show prep that takes us 24 hours to go through all of the news, whittle it down
00:52:17.800 to about 80 stories, and then I whittle it down to about 20 stories for the air.
00:52:23.460 But I read every single day all of those 80 stories, and I also read everything else to
00:52:29.440 try to help collect some of those stories.
00:52:31.160 But I think it's the news that you should read every day, and you can get it in your
00:52:37.520 email box every morning just by signing up for my free email newsletter.
00:52:42.680 My quiz score is I might survive a little disaster.
00:52:47.240 Your quiz score?
00:52:48.480 Yeah.
00:52:49.300 Yeah.
00:52:50.420 Congrats on having some of your finances set aside for emergencies and some useful tools
00:52:54.940 and skills tucked away in case of an emergency.
00:52:57.080 You could potentially endure a little disaster.
00:53:00.120 Where did you get that?
00:53:01.820 At the end of the quiz, it just showed up.
00:53:04.620 Oh, it didn't on mine.
00:53:05.840 Oh, it didn't?
00:53:06.360 Have you done it before?
00:53:07.180 Maybe that's why.
00:53:08.280 Maybe you've done it in the past.
00:53:09.680 I don't know.
00:53:10.820 If I want to survive a massive financial crisis or natural disaster, I'm going to have to
00:53:16.300 start stockpiling some more money and supplies.
00:53:20.460 And then it says, to learn how I can be more prepared, check out Glenn's Ultimate Guide
00:53:24.600 to Getting Prepared.
00:53:26.140 Yeah.
00:53:26.340 And you know what's crazy is, you're going to be prepared, whatever level you want to
00:53:31.360 be.
00:53:31.600 Stu is at the, I have extra duck sauce, you know, portion of his life in preparedness.
00:53:38.460 But you're just never going to be prepared.
00:53:40.820 I'm just convinced I'm going to have all of these things.
00:53:44.240 And then I'll be like, what do you mean, what do you mean we don't have that three-prong
00:53:49.880 extender thing?
00:53:51.460 You know what I mean?
00:53:52.520 Yeah.
00:53:53.020 It'll be something stupid like that that you just never thought of.
00:53:58.660 So you can just, you know, just do your best.
00:54:02.220 You can find it at glennbeck.com.
00:54:04.600 Let me go through some of the audio here, because I think some of this is quite amazing.
00:54:14.300 Let's go with Janet Yellen yesterday about our banking system.
00:54:19.060 What's the other thing?
00:54:19.620 I can reassure the members of the committee that our banking system is sound and that Americans
00:54:25.720 can feel confident that their deposits will be there when they need them.
00:54:30.460 This week's actions demonstrate our resolute commitment to ensure that our financial system
00:54:38.040 remains strong and that depositors' savings remain safe.
00:54:43.400 Yeah.
00:54:43.980 Well, I feel totally confident with that.
00:54:47.160 Is that just comforting to hear that?
00:54:48.880 It really is.
00:54:50.180 Our financial institutions are sound.
00:54:52.760 That sound you're hearing is them collapsing right now.
00:54:56.320 By the way, she said, are we bailing out all of the depositors from here on out?
00:55:03.080 And she said, no, no, no, no, no.
00:55:04.800 This was a special exception.
00:55:06.900 She said, we're only going to bail out all of the depositors if 100% of the Fed chairs
00:55:15.560 and then the head of the big banks and then my team agree that they're a systemic risk.
00:55:24.660 Oh, so we don't really have a law.
00:55:29.520 It's just we're going to, we'll take it one at a time.
00:55:32.720 I know that gives me comfort, you know?
00:55:35.200 Wow.
00:55:35.500 If I don't know for sure, I mean, if it's really, really clear what self-defense is,
00:55:42.940 but then somebody who just murdered somebody that maybe is connected with everybody, they
00:55:51.040 just got away with it.
00:55:53.020 And then I was really defending myself.
00:55:56.360 I had no gun.
00:55:57.300 The guys were coming after me and somehow or another one of them slipped on a banana peel
00:56:01.700 and I go to jail.
00:56:03.280 That's going to be a problem.
00:56:05.040 That's going to be a problem.
00:56:06.120 You can't have a system of government set up that way.
00:56:10.700 So, Wheel of Fortune.
00:56:15.060 I think that's fantastic.
00:56:17.540 Now, there's another thing that is happening this weekend.
00:56:20.820 It came out last night and it's Vivek Ramaswamy's first interview with me as a presidential candidate.
00:56:30.440 And we've invited all of the candidate.
00:56:35.640 Nikki Haley is invited.
00:56:37.900 Donald Trump has been invited to come and do one hour with me just on what your vision is for the country.
00:56:47.260 And I want to have the ultimate interview with each of them.
00:56:51.820 No gotcha questions.
00:56:54.120 No slanting it one way or another.
00:56:56.880 Asking what makes you unique?
00:56:59.220 What is your vision for America?
00:57:02.260 And Vivek, who most people don't know, I think this audience does, is an intriguing candidate.
00:57:10.420 Whether he has a chance or not to win, I don't know.
00:57:13.300 But his voice at the debates will be really, really critical because he thinks differently.
00:57:21.180 And I want to play one part that he talked to me about the deep state that I think is a really different kind of thinking and refreshing.
00:57:31.980 And I'd like to hear it from other candidates.
00:57:35.100 We'll do that in 60 seconds.
00:57:36.720 First, if you had the power to save a life right now, would you do it?
00:57:41.800 I mean, it's not even a question, right?
00:57:44.580 Of course you can.
00:57:45.700 If it wasn't that difficult, I mean, am I going to put my life at stake?
00:57:49.600 I mean, you shouldn't ask that question.
00:57:51.040 Is it going to cost me some money?
00:57:52.800 How much money is it going to cost me?
00:57:54.600 If you could save a life right now, well, you can.
00:57:59.960 I want to talk to you about pre-born.
00:58:02.860 Pre-born saves lives in the best possible way by introducing expecting mothers to their children via an ultrasound.
00:58:11.660 That's it.
00:58:13.260 When a mom who says, I think I wanted an abortion, sees her child, sees the fingers and the toes,
00:58:20.020 and realizes it's not just a lump of cells, but it's a baby.
00:58:24.560 When they hear the heartbeat, it's one of the most powerful forces on the planet,
00:58:28.420 and it saves children left and right.
00:58:31.600 Dan Steiner is the guy who founded the Life Saving Ministry 16 years ago.
00:58:35.780 They've saved over 200,000 babies since then.
00:58:39.740 I have a goal for this audience to save 80,000 babies this year.
00:58:45.640 That's a tough, tough thing.
00:58:47.820 Every ultrasound is $28.
00:58:51.200 Would you donate $28?
00:58:54.260 We can save 80,000 children, I believe it, as an audience.
00:58:59.240 If you'll help, preborn.com slash beck.
00:59:02.620 Be a part of the good and the solution.
00:59:06.080 preborn.com slash beck.
00:59:08.780 Or just hit pound 250 and say the keyword baby.
00:59:13.460 Pound 250, keyword baby.
00:59:15.680 Paid for by Preborn.
00:59:17.820 10 seconds, station ID.
00:59:29.780 So let me go with shutting down the deep state with Vivek Ramaswamy from tomorrow's podcast.
00:59:39.140 I don't think even the best intentioned, capable, unifying leader can take on that permanent state while still leaving it intact.
00:59:48.400 I think you need to be willing to take steps and exercise of executive power as laid out in Article 2 of the Constitution to do what a president is constitutionally empowered to do.
00:59:59.740 You have to shut down the administrative state, not seek congressional permission.
01:00:03.500 Well, it's under his direction.
01:00:04.760 He can do it.
01:00:05.320 Exactly.
01:00:05.920 So this is what a lot of people miss.
01:00:07.160 So if you don't mind getting into the details.
01:00:09.420 No, not at all.
01:00:09.840 Because this is this is the how is also I said the what and the why.
01:00:13.900 Well, the how kind of matters, too.
01:00:15.660 Right.
01:00:16.600 So so the reason Trump wasn't able to do it.
01:00:19.180 OK, I know a lot of the policy people who have served the administration.
01:00:22.320 They've taken, you know, I would say, delicate views around issues like civil service protections.
01:00:27.880 Right.
01:00:28.000 So Congress has these civil service protections that say that you can't be fired for most positions in the federal government.
01:00:33.460 Now, towards the very end, the Trump administration came around to the Schedule F sort of I don't know if you're familiar with some of this stuff, but they said, OK, well, we can be really clever and maybe find more employees we could fire than we otherwise could.
01:00:44.500 But I'm going to get to in a second.
01:00:45.860 That's the wrong framework.
01:00:46.620 OK, you have these under Nixon.
01:00:49.700 We have these laws that I think actually created the managerial cancer.
01:00:55.500 What are called impoundment prevention provision.
01:00:57.940 So there's a 1974 anti-impoundment act that was passed.
01:01:00.740 What does it say?
01:01:01.200 If Congress allocates money for a specific agency, even if the president who's running the executive branch knows that it ought not be spent there, that it's going to go to waste, fraud, abuse, not advancing the interests of the American people, that he still has to spend it there per this congressional law.
01:01:17.000 Then you have public employee union protection.
01:01:18.660 So there's a whole there's a whole pieces to this edifice where a lot of time Republicans who, you know, get it, you know, like I am up on a high horse against the deep state will say that I'm going to do these things, but we need to do it by repealing all of these provisions.
01:01:33.280 I'm all in favor of repealing them.
01:01:36.320 Here's the dirty little secret.
01:01:37.980 Not only Democrats, but even a lot of Republicans resist repealing those kinds of protections because secretly deep down inside, they too are believers in the permanent state.
01:01:45.940 Correct.
01:01:46.600 Well, this is why running for president is actually the right way to have a best fighting chance of fixing this.
01:01:51.760 In my view, I'm really explicit about this under article two of the constitution, all of those laws are unconstitutional.
01:01:59.720 And I bring a perspective from the private sector as somebody who's actually built companies and run companies and fired people and fired people hired people to it.
01:02:08.240 Exactly.
01:02:08.960 To interpret an obvious fact of article two of the constitution, that if somebody works for you and you can't fire them, that means they don't work for you.
01:02:20.300 It means you work for them.
01:02:23.360 I would go so far as to say it means you are their slave because you don't know why you're responsible for what they do without even having any ability to direct it.
01:02:32.260 And that's actually the unfortunate and I feel bad for him.
01:02:34.840 That's an unfortunate position that President Trump found himself in.
01:02:39.240 It's an incredible interview.
01:02:42.880 Maybe some of the things that we should be talking about and putting into the Republican platform.
01:02:48.180 It comes out tomorrow, available for Blaze subscribers now.
01:02:51.240 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:02:52.840 Jackie wrote in about her experience with Rough Greens with her dog.
01:02:56.240 She says, we ordered a sample bag of Rough Greens that you were talking about and our little chihuahua absolutely loves it.
01:03:02.580 She used to take forever eating her food.
01:03:05.780 I mean, of course, the kibble is probably the size of her head.
01:03:09.720 She used to take forever eating it.
01:03:11.480 Now she gobbles it down, actually begs for her food every night.
01:03:14.940 She'll scratch on the cupboard until we feed her.
01:03:17.580 Her energy is up.
01:03:18.520 She runs up and down the stairs easier than she ever has.
01:03:21.780 It's a wonderful product.
01:03:22.960 Thank you so much.
01:03:24.120 Jackie, thank you for writing in.
01:03:26.060 Is that your Jackie?
01:03:26.820 No, you don't have a chihuahua.
01:03:27.880 What is your little rat dog?
01:03:29.220 It's a Morkie.
01:03:30.900 Oh, my.
01:03:32.980 Pat with a Morkie.
01:03:35.640 It's a shame.
01:03:37.080 It's my wife's dog.
01:03:37.920 It's a shame.
01:03:38.580 Oh, my gosh.
01:03:39.620 That dog sits on your lab.
01:03:41.320 Rough Greens, so confident that your dog's going to love it.
01:03:45.400 They have a special deal to get you the first bag for free.
01:03:48.540 Rough Greens, R-U-F-F-Greens.com, roughgreens.com.
01:03:52.560 You just pay for the shipping, and then if your dog loves it,
01:03:55.940 your next bag will come in and start feeding,
01:03:58.740 and you'll see a massive change in your dog.
01:04:00.580 At least I did.
01:04:01.460 Pat has as well.
01:04:02.300 Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday,
01:04:08.900 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern, live, or anytime and anywhere you get your podcasts.
01:04:32.300 I thought today, Friday, after everything that's been going on,
01:04:36.540 we should talk about some good things happening,
01:04:39.180 and I'm going to kind of finish out the next hour with Riley Gaines.
01:04:45.320 She's the 12-time NCAA All-Star American swimmer,
01:04:50.860 who's strangely not number one.
01:04:52.860 Who's number one now?
01:04:54.460 That was Aaliyah Thomas.
01:04:56.200 Oh.
01:04:57.060 The guy.
01:04:58.100 Yeah.
01:04:59.080 Was 462nd in the men's division.
01:05:01.460 But he is a great woman.
01:05:03.520 Great woman.
01:05:04.180 Yeah.
01:05:04.740 So Riley Gaines has been one of the people who have really stood up
01:05:09.180 and just taken a beating for it.
01:05:12.500 We're going to have her on the program today.
01:05:15.600 Also, Joe Kennedy is coming up.
01:05:18.280 Joe is the Bremerton High School assistant coach
01:05:20.840 that won the Supreme Court case for the right to play.
01:05:24.980 I can't believe he wanted his job back, but he did,
01:05:29.540 and they gave it to him.
01:05:31.680 He's back at his old job after seven years of fighting.
01:05:38.040 It's an amazing story, and he is just happy as ever.
01:05:41.900 Joe Kennedy is going to be joining us in a few minutes.
01:05:44.600 And I wanted to stop down,
01:05:47.580 and I kind of wanted our next guest to actually hear those interviews
01:05:53.240 because he's in the throes of it right now.
01:05:56.760 His name is Dr. Andrew Fox.
01:05:59.340 He is a former Austin, Texas Fire Department chaplain,
01:06:03.720 and he wrote a blog post explaining why he believes males should not compete
01:06:11.380 in female sports, and they fired him.
01:06:14.060 He's a chaplain.
01:06:17.520 Hmm, that seems like freedom of speech and religion,
01:06:21.820 but maybe that's just me.
01:06:24.060 Dr. Andrew Fox, welcome to the program.
01:06:27.180 Pleasure to be here.
01:06:28.300 Thank you for having me on.
01:06:29.440 You bet.
01:06:30.780 Your accent does not sound Texan.
01:06:33.840 Where are you from?
01:06:35.620 No, I was an immigrant from the United Kingdom, 1999,
01:06:40.020 and now a citizen with my family.
01:06:42.540 Wow.
01:06:42.960 And you came here why?
01:06:45.560 Religious workers' visa.
01:06:47.100 I came to be a pastor in Washington State.
01:06:52.060 Wow.
01:06:52.380 And so, you know, the die was cast.
01:06:55.440 That's who I am, and that's what I'm known for.
01:06:58.220 So, you know, when you came here,
01:07:02.420 it was a different country than it is now.
01:07:05.720 Oh, my goodness.
01:07:06.280 23 years ago, the welcome to the United States
01:07:10.920 to live here, work here, raise my family
01:07:13.140 is now completely different in my mind 23 years later.
01:07:18.100 Not the same country I moved to.
01:07:19.900 I'm sorry.
01:07:21.520 So, you were working for the fire department,
01:07:24.160 and you were counseling families,
01:07:27.440 and, you know, what else did you do for the fire department?
01:07:31.320 Well, the role of a chaplain is a resource for crisis,
01:07:35.100 especially for those in uniform, men and women.
01:07:39.200 I didn't care how they identified or who they associated with.
01:07:43.640 It was inclusive to everyone in uniform.
01:07:45.900 When you see death, be it a car accident or a fire or something else,
01:07:51.580 and then you have to give death notices to those families.
01:07:54.740 You're dealing with extreme situations that most people don't face regularly.
01:08:00.400 So, when there's a knock on the door, I didn't know we did this.
01:08:04.020 There's a knock on a door.
01:08:05.180 It's not just a cop or a fireman.
01:08:08.160 You're told by a chaplain.
01:08:11.540 Yeah.
01:08:11.900 A chaplain is accompanied by law enforcement.
01:08:16.500 But, yeah, that walk from the sidewalk to the front door,
01:08:20.040 you're about to change somebody's trajectory forever.
01:08:23.460 That must be horrible, that walk, every time.
01:08:29.600 Well, as a Christian man, I live in the grace of God to say the right thing
01:08:35.800 and do the right thing and be a support to that family,
01:08:39.560 no matter what their beliefs are.
01:08:42.020 Okay.
01:08:42.440 So, you were writing on your own personal blog, correct?
01:08:46.920 Correct.
01:08:47.300 And what did you write?
01:08:49.920 You wrote about women's sports.
01:08:53.600 I did.
01:08:54.360 The blog is called Willie Woke and the Chocolate Factory.
01:08:58.060 And I questioned biological men competing against women as a woman,
01:09:07.360 that it was yet another attack on the beauty of what it is to be a woman.
01:09:12.400 And I offered arguments from all sides,
01:09:17.520 citing athletes that are heterosexual, not heterosexual,
01:09:22.920 but identified differently.
01:09:24.420 So, a comprehensive view, not just a singular view.
01:09:28.620 And I was fired for it.
01:09:31.220 What did they say to you?
01:09:33.520 Well, the chief, the fire chief,
01:09:36.020 first of all told me that it wasn't his business to censor me in a private blog.
01:09:40.760 Weeks later, I met with the representative of LBGTQ
01:09:46.220 to find out what offended them.
01:09:49.580 And they couldn't tell me, but they were just offended.
01:09:52.200 But they couldn't tell me what was wrong precisely.
01:09:55.600 And shortly after that, I received a phone call telling me I was fired,
01:09:59.740 unless I wrote an open letter of apology for my question, please.
01:10:03.400 Good heavens, we have just, we've slipped into madness, just madness.
01:10:12.500 So, you probably, at least I hope, immediately called an attorney?
01:10:18.120 I did.
01:10:18.940 I called several attorneys.
01:10:20.840 And as soon as the city of Austin was mentioned,
01:10:23.780 they backed off until one very old,
01:10:27.380 very, very old attorney.
01:10:31.560 He recommended the Alliance Defending Freedom,
01:10:34.320 who are, I wouldn't be where I'm at today without them.
01:10:38.080 They are a stellar group of people.
01:10:39.760 They really are.
01:10:40.680 We are close to them.
01:10:42.920 They are really amazing people.
01:10:45.480 So, they took on the case, and where does it stand?
01:10:47.940 Right now, it is, the case is continuing to move forward.
01:10:56.100 I believe next month we're going to deposition.
01:11:00.760 But still very much alive and kicking,
01:11:05.000 and gathering momentum on both sides,
01:11:09.300 which, again, is not the country I moved to.
01:11:12.500 It's a ridiculous situation that I find myself in.
01:11:16.760 I find it terrifying that you couldn't find an attorney
01:11:21.080 to take that case quickly.
01:11:23.880 No, no.
01:11:24.720 As soon as they found out the details,
01:11:27.100 they backed off.
01:11:29.820 And if it wasn't for the old boy
01:11:33.120 that recommended Alliance Defending Freedom,
01:11:36.160 I'd have my head in my hands.
01:11:38.940 But I'm grateful for those who fight for freedom.
01:11:42.460 It's opened my eyes to a bigger horizon.
01:11:45.020 It is, it's remarkable that, you know,
01:11:49.220 I had the best freedom of speech attorneys in the country,
01:11:53.580 a firm in Washington, D.C.
01:11:56.240 They, that's what they were known for.
01:11:59.820 And they have defended me in several cases.
01:12:03.980 And at one point about, I don't know,
01:12:07.060 three, four years ago,
01:12:08.560 they, we were in the middle of a case,
01:12:10.680 and they said, we can't take your case anymore.
01:12:14.140 Hey, what are you talking about?
01:12:14.980 And it was, you know, they said,
01:12:17.500 we just have to kind of keep the peace in the firm.
01:12:21.180 And, you know,
01:12:22.040 but they were representing people like Google.
01:12:25.040 And they just didn't want to have my name
01:12:27.700 associated with their firm.
01:12:30.500 And I said to them,
01:12:33.140 are you kidding me?
01:12:34.800 Is the spirit of John Adams completely dead now?
01:12:38.640 And it is, it is.
01:12:40.400 People, you know,
01:12:42.620 attorneys are afraid for their own career.
01:12:46.280 And you got nothing.
01:12:48.180 If you don't have a government that respects
01:12:50.760 the Bill of Rights,
01:12:51.740 or attorneys that will stand for the Bill of Rights,
01:12:54.780 you don't, you don't have a country of freedom anymore.
01:12:57.560 Right.
01:12:58.320 And that's, that's what I was asked.
01:13:00.080 I was asked to write a letter of apology
01:13:02.880 or I'd be fired.
01:13:04.040 But I, you know,
01:13:05.540 when you move to another country,
01:13:06.980 you put everything on the line.
01:13:08.500 And I've been blessed in the work that I'm doing
01:13:11.420 and that I've done,
01:13:13.120 but I was not prepared to put my character,
01:13:15.560 my beliefs on the line and sell them short.
01:13:19.240 And so I refused.
01:13:20.900 And I think we need more voices that stand up and say,
01:13:24.600 no, I am not going to do this.
01:13:26.460 That's why I wanted you on.
01:13:27.960 And I wanted to encourage you to continue to stand.
01:13:32.140 And I'd be shocked if your case wasn't,
01:13:35.400 wasn't overturned here.
01:13:38.060 What, what is,
01:13:38.980 do you want to go back to the fire department?
01:13:42.200 I would like to be offered the position back.
01:13:44.600 Yes.
01:13:45.320 I still have many,
01:13:47.240 many, many friends in the fire department.
01:13:50.320 There's 1300 uniform personnel.
01:13:52.260 And again,
01:13:54.140 I never asked about people's private lives.
01:13:58.440 If they're wearing a badge and they need a chaplain,
01:14:01.300 I serve them inclusively.
01:14:03.480 And that need is still there.
01:14:06.700 I get calls still from battalion chiefs,
01:14:10.640 captains,
01:14:11.220 lieutenants asking me to come and visit their men and women.
01:14:16.500 Not at the fire station,
01:14:18.260 because that's government property,
01:14:19.520 but in their homes.
01:14:20.500 So as a private citizen,
01:14:22.140 I'm still in hospitals,
01:14:24.320 homes and,
01:14:25.460 uh,
01:14:26.400 different places,
01:14:27.600 uh,
01:14:27.880 public places.
01:14:28.760 Um,
01:14:29.420 the need is still there.
01:14:31.260 If you were living in England,
01:14:32.980 um,
01:14:34.500 you'd probably be facing the same thing over in England.
01:14:37.640 And in Canada,
01:14:38.780 you would as well.
01:14:40.300 If this falls,
01:14:41.520 where do you go?
01:14:44.040 You know,
01:14:44.660 I just got back from England from lecturing over there.
01:14:47.360 And,
01:14:47.920 uh,
01:14:48.080 you're exactly absolutely right.
01:14:50.400 What's happening here is happening there.
01:14:53.000 Uh,
01:14:53.520 where do I go?
01:14:54.920 Glenn,
01:14:55.460 I can only say I can stand my ground.
01:14:58.140 Uh,
01:14:58.860 I'm a man of prayer.
01:15:00.240 I man of conviction.
01:15:01.820 I didn't move to the United States to,
01:15:04.240 uh,
01:15:05.240 uh,
01:15:05.560 get a job.
01:15:06.220 I had a job in England.
01:15:07.800 I was,
01:15:08.560 uh,
01:15:09.180 also in public ministry there.
01:15:11.320 I moved here to contribute.
01:15:13.260 It's my contribution to the country that welcomed me in.
01:15:16.440 And I still want to contribute.
01:15:18.800 And,
01:15:19.420 uh,
01:15:19.900 for me,
01:15:20.420 that is the United States of America.
01:15:22.700 Uh,
01:15:23.220 it's an opportunity.
01:15:24.540 And,
01:15:25.120 uh,
01:15:25.840 uh,
01:15:26.200 when a government agency does this to you in such a short time,
01:15:30.600 23 years,
01:15:31.700 it's,
01:15:32.760 it's wrong.
01:15:33.380 I have no other words for it.
01:15:34.920 It's wrong.
01:15:35.280 And it needs to change.
01:15:37.120 Dr.
01:15:37.520 Andrew Fox.
01:15:38.060 Thank you so much.
01:15:38.780 You know,
01:15:38.960 and I,
01:15:39.240 I guess we've had Ryan on the phone the whole time.
01:15:41.140 I didn't know this.
01:15:41.820 Ryan Bangert.
01:15:42.540 I'm sorry.
01:15:43.160 I,
01:15:43.300 I,
01:15:43.600 I didn't get to you.
01:15:44.900 Um,
01:15:45.360 but,
01:15:45.780 uh,
01:15:45.980 Ryan is with the Alliance Defending Freedom.
01:15:48.180 Uh,
01:15:48.640 and Ryan,
01:15:50.120 what can we do to help?
01:15:52.680 Hey,
01:15:53.040 Glenn,
01:15:53.580 the best thing you can do is go to ADF legal.org,
01:15:56.320 which is our website.
01:15:57.220 We have profiles of all of our cases,
01:15:59.520 including Dr.
01:16:00.240 Fox's case,
01:16:01.000 where we're fighting for his right to believe and it's right not to be coerced by the government
01:16:06.040 to,
01:16:06.860 uh,
01:16:07.660 accept government orthodoxy.
01:16:09.000 So all of our cases are there.
01:16:10.600 Uh,
01:16:11.160 ADF legal.org,
01:16:12.380 best place to access all of our resources.
01:16:14.420 ADF legal.org.
01:16:17.080 You might want to write that down.
01:16:18.480 You might also want to contribute now because you might need that at some point.
01:16:22.320 Uh,
01:16:22.640 ADF legal.org.
01:16:24.960 Um,
01:16:25.480 I,
01:16:25.720 I appreciate all of the hard work that you guys do in the cases you do take on.
01:16:30.000 This seems Ryan to be a pretty open and shut case,
01:16:34.960 or have we really fallen even further than I thought we have?
01:16:39.760 Well,
01:16:40.280 you would think when it is an open and shut case,
01:16:42.400 uh,
01:16:43.020 this is a situation where the government,
01:16:45.520 in this case,
01:16:45.980 the city of Austin is telling a citizen what to believe,
01:16:49.360 how to think.
01:16:50.620 The shocking thing about this case is the government demanded that Dr.
01:16:55.200 Fox apologize for believing Christian orthodoxy and publishing that on his own private blog.
01:17:02.460 And that was the condition of him keeping his job.
01:17:05.140 And if the government can force Dr.
01:17:06.540 Fox to do that,
01:17:07.780 he can force anyone to do that.
01:17:09.720 And that's why this case is so important.
01:17:11.300 And if the government can instruct one citizen of their life under the first amendment to
01:17:15.560 believe and speak as they will,
01:17:17.760 then no one is safe.
01:17:19.800 And so this case is tremendously important for that reason.
01:17:22.600 Ryan Bangert.
01:17:23.280 Thank you so much.
01:17:24.240 Dr.
01:17:24.580 Andrew Fox.
01:17:25.320 Thank you.
01:17:25.720 We'll be watching,
01:17:26.520 uh,
01:17:27.020 this as it,
01:17:28.160 uh,
01:17:28.380 develops.
01:17:29.960 Sincerely,
01:17:30.680 um,
01:17:31.200 you might want to contribute because you might be on the receiving end of this at some
01:17:34.920 point.
01:17:35.260 And sincerely write this down because you may need them at some point.
01:17:40.420 Dr.
01:17:40.680 Fox said,
01:17:41.220 I called attorneys.
01:17:41.900 I didn't know who to call.
01:17:43.020 You call adf legal.org.
01:17:46.140 Go there.
01:17:46.880 Now,
01:17:47.620 help them see all of their cases.
01:17:49.520 adf legal.org.
01:17:52.000 All right.
01:17:54.420 Uh,
01:17:54.900 there is a problem with,
01:17:56.700 uh,
01:17:57.040 ranching right now.
01:17:58.520 We are losing our ranchers.
01:18:00.400 There is a,
01:18:01.300 I'm trying to find this in the show prep today.
01:18:03.740 There's a story about,
01:18:05.000 we are at the lowest level of cattle,
01:18:07.220 um,
01:18:08.680 in the United States since like 1960.
01:18:11.740 Is that a problem for anybody?
01:18:12.960 Cause I think we have more people than we had in 1960.
01:18:17.360 Why is that happening?
01:18:19.000 Because our farms are in peril.
01:18:20.540 Our ranches are in peril.
01:18:22.360 The EPA is coming after them.
01:18:24.320 I mean,
01:18:24.560 it is insane.
01:18:26.420 What is going on.
01:18:27.740 And if you're somebody who just goes to the grocery store and picks out your
01:18:31.440 meat,
01:18:32.320 you're like,
01:18:32.680 Oh,
01:18:32.780 it can't be that bad.
01:18:33.620 Cause I mean,
01:18:34.100 there's meat there and you know,
01:18:35.320 it's got the little American flag on it.
01:18:36.860 That's not American meat.
01:18:38.800 It might say us product,
01:18:40.840 but it's not,
01:18:41.900 it's crazy.
01:18:44.140 And 80% of our meat,
01:18:45.840 it comes from overseas.
01:18:47.420 This has to stop or we won't have meat produced here.
01:18:52.640 That's why I am so passionate about good ranchers.
01:18:55.740 I want you to go there,
01:18:57.900 order,

01:19:48.440 We're just talking about some of the other things going on in the news.
01:20:10.580 Netanyahu is not,
01:20:14.620 not necessarily friendly anymore to the United States and neither is Saudi Arabia.
01:20:21.840 I mean,
01:20:22.500 everybody's turning against us.
01:20:23.920 I don't know if anybody notices that.
01:20:25.940 Oh,
01:20:26.440 they're going to heal all of our relationships.
01:20:28.940 No,
01:20:29.120 they've broken the world away from us.
01:20:31.680 But Netanyahu just said to all of his emissaries,
01:20:35.420 no contact with the United States,
01:20:37.740 none until this president calls me and,
01:20:42.100 uh,
01:20:42.860 asked me to come and sit down with him in the white house to discuss things.
01:20:47.020 No.
01:20:48.320 Hey,
01:20:48.560 I mean,
01:20:48.760 he's very clear.
01:20:50.580 The United States is not a friend to Israel anymore.
01:20:54.420 It's,
01:20:55.040 it's crazy.
01:20:56.320 And what a stark contrast to when Donald Trump was in office.
01:21:00.980 Yeah.
01:21:02.740 Hmm.
01:21:04.020 Uh,
01:21:04.540 all right.
01:21:05.420 Uh,
01:21:05.860 coming up in just a second,
01:21:07.360 we're going to take a look at,
01:21:08.940 uh,
01:21:09.240 the next bank bailout.
01:21:11.420 Oh,
01:21:11.720 and what democratic congressman in California is saying about the,
01:21:16.220 uh,
01:21:16.440 rescue of the Silicon Valley bank.
01:21:21.000 Um,
01:21:22.180 apparently we had to,
01:21:23.300 because this,
01:21:24.100 the,
01:21:24.280 the,
01:21:24.820 there were people that had jobs that they're going to cure cancer.
01:21:28.360 And so we,
01:21:29.520 I mean,
01:21:29.900 we had to save them.
01:21:32.420 What?
01:21:33.780 What?
01:21:34.260 Okay.
01:21:36.140 All right.
01:21:36.700 I guess we're being run like,
01:21:39.420 you know,
01:21:39.780 a fourth grade class and we're all the fourth graders going to the program.
01:21:43.780 Yeah.
01:21:44.240 Oh,
01:21:44.900 oh,
01:21:45.040 oh,

01:22:05.000 oh,
01:22:05.220 oh,
01:22:05.720 oh,
01:22:06.060 oh,
01:22:06.100 oh,
01:22:08.240 oh,
01:22:09.600 oh,
01:22:10.080 oh,

01:22:36.180 Hello, you sick, twisted freak.
01:22:40.740 Welcome to Friday.
01:22:43.340 We've got a couple of good things to report.
01:22:46.000 And then I got a podcast with a presidential candidate that I think you should consider what he's saying.
01:22:54.640 I mean, it's a good hour.
01:22:55.900 If you've had a rough week, don't miss any of this.
01:22:59.360 Because some good eating and a good story, a good ending where justice was served.

01:24:30.140 So I'm excited to talk to Joe Kennedy.
01:24:32.620 Joe, when was the last time we spoke?
01:24:34.600 It was before the decision, wasn't it?
01:24:37.340 Yes, it was.
01:24:37.980 It was, yeah, early last year.
01:24:40.360 Yeah.
01:24:40.720 Well, congratulations.
01:24:43.600 Thank you.
01:24:44.580 I appreciate that.
01:24:45.580 Yeah.
01:24:45.800 Joe Kennedy is the high school assistant coach from Bremerton High School.
01:24:53.060 And that's up in Washington State.
01:24:55.800 And he was fired because he was praying.
01:24:59.460 And he wasn't, you know, he wasn't indoctrinating anybody.
01:25:02.800 I mean, I love schools telling us about indoctrination.
01:25:06.080 But he wasn't indoctrinating.
01:25:08.020 He was just praying.
01:25:08.700 And they fired him for it.
01:25:11.920 And he's fought for seven years, didn't you?
01:25:16.240 Yeah.
01:25:16.720 We're going into the ninth football season now.
01:25:19.700 Jeez.
01:25:20.600 Jeez.
01:25:21.560 So for seven years, he fought this.
01:25:24.300 And he won in the Supreme Court.
01:25:27.300 And now you have your job back.
01:25:29.040 And I'm really shocked, Joe, that you wanted your job back.
01:25:34.460 Yeah.
01:25:35.260 Well, you know, that's a tough decision.
01:25:37.420 But it really is the principle of it.
01:25:39.860 You know, they drug their feet and, you know, made this go on for so long that, you know,
01:25:46.540 it's kind of the principle that I have to go back at least one more time to take one more knee on that 50-yard line
01:25:52.520 and thank God for everything we've been through.
01:25:55.540 Yeah.
01:25:56.100 So you're coming up now.
01:25:58.600 This will be the next year because you didn't play with the team this year, did you?
01:26:03.480 No.
01:26:04.040 That is correct.
01:26:04.640 Yeah, the 2023 season.
01:26:06.700 And what's the reception been like?
01:26:10.560 Well, I wish I could say it was all warm and fuzzy.
01:26:13.260 Some of the people that I've met that I used to know up at the school when I was doing my paperwork,
01:26:20.000 they were very cordial but kind of standoffish.
01:26:23.240 Everybody else is like walking on eggshells.
01:26:26.300 I wish they would just open their arms and say, hey, welcome back, Knight.
01:26:30.020 And we could all just move on and, you know, focus on our football program.
01:26:33.860 But, yeah, I haven't got that warm, fuzzy feeling yet.
01:26:37.080 And why do you think that is?
01:26:38.380 You know, I wish people could talk more often instead of just, you know, taking more combat.
01:26:46.360 The superintendent and myself, we always said we were not going to take it personal.
01:26:50.420 This is going to be something that was left up to the judges to figure out what our constitutional rights are.
01:26:56.320 So him and I are great, but everybody else seemed to have just taken a side and dig their heels in
01:27:02.240 and feel like they just lost something.
01:27:05.140 And I'm like, you just gained your First Amendment rights.
01:27:09.100 You have more religious liberty.
01:27:11.060 You have more freedom of speech now more than ever in your lifetime.
01:27:15.820 So why aren't we all celebrating this?
01:27:18.080 It's really crazy.
01:27:19.100 When the people win against the king and the king is celebrated and not the individual.
01:27:29.280 It is nuts.
01:27:30.740 It's an upside down world.
01:27:33.080 Absolutely.
01:27:34.300 Well, I'm glad you got your job back.
01:27:36.320 I just wanted to check in and just hear some good news and wish you all the best of luck.
01:27:43.080 But thanks for checking in with me, Joe.
01:27:45.440 Hey, I really appreciate it.
01:27:47.260 And hopefully I'll get you a book here real soon and have you sign it, buddy.
01:27:51.600 Oh, yeah.
01:27:52.100 Anytime.
01:27:52.740 Anytime.
01:27:53.380 Hey, Joe, let me ask you.
01:27:55.040 If you had to do it all over again, would you do it?
01:28:00.160 Was it worth it?
01:28:00.780 Oh, absolutely.
01:28:02.020 Yeah, absolutely.
01:28:03.260 You know, going through it sucked.
01:28:04.760 And, you know, I never want anybody or myself to go through something like it.
01:28:08.740 But, you know, fighting for the First Amendment, some things are just absolutely 100% worth fighting for.
01:28:14.900 And I will take shots all day long for years, the rest of my life, just to make sure freedom is here in America.
01:28:21.740 Yeah.
01:28:22.160 What's crazy is getting to know you.
01:28:24.020 You're not like a guy who can quote the Bible and everything else.
01:28:27.740 I mean, you're like a normal person that just wanted to pray and found themselves in this hurricane.
01:28:36.780 It's crazy.
01:28:37.600 But glad you came out the other side.
01:28:39.420 Absolutely crazy.
01:28:40.080 We're stronger because of you, Joey.
01:28:41.440 I appreciate it.
01:28:42.000 Thank you.
01:28:42.680 Thanks, man.
01:28:43.240 You bet.
01:28:43.540 Bye-bye.
01:28:44.960 It's great.
01:28:46.400 Love that.
01:28:47.160 Just love that.
01:28:48.560 You know, but, you know, I mean, you got to have, you know, you got to have freedom of speech.
01:28:53.460 Otherwise, you won't be able to say things like this.
01:28:56.560 Cut three, please.
01:29:00.200 Cut three.
01:29:01.420 Was there any discussion in the White House about what the blowback would be for approving the Willow Oil Project?
01:29:07.280 Because people have gotten quite upset about it.
01:29:09.460 I think there's some protesters outside right now.
01:29:11.160 Well, I think that the concerns are based on what we should all be concerned about.
01:29:16.580 But the solutions have to be and include what we are doing in terms of going forward, in terms of investments.
01:29:24.180 What?
01:29:24.940 She has a right to say it, Pat.
01:29:26.580 She has a right to say it.
01:29:28.240 It had nothing to do with reality.
01:29:29.860 Yeah.
01:29:30.260 That they had to because of law.
01:29:33.560 Well, people are upset because of things we should be upset about.
01:29:37.360 Well, yeah.
01:29:38.000 That's true.
01:29:38.880 You know, we got to take that into consideration and do the things that, you know, we all know we have to do.
01:29:45.540 So, what?
01:29:46.580 It's a lot like the fact that Ukraine is a country.
01:29:50.260 Well.
01:29:50.780 And Russia is another country.
01:29:52.420 Funny that you should mention.
01:29:53.720 Bigger.
01:29:54.300 Funny you should mention that.
01:29:56.280 During your interview with Stephen Colbert, she's asked about her job.
01:30:03.420 And here's what she says.
01:30:04.940 Well, I have the great privilege of serving with Joe Biden, who was president of the United States.
01:30:09.820 Wow.
01:30:13.180 I didn't know that.
01:30:14.180 I didn't know that.
01:30:14.700 No, I know.
01:30:15.760 Exactly right.
01:30:16.900 New information.
01:30:17.780 Exactly right.
01:30:18.440 And was vice president, right?
01:30:20.780 Does that affect it?
01:30:21.740 Wow.
01:30:22.140 Does he understand what it's like to be a vice president?
01:30:24.440 He does.
01:30:25.640 Wow.
01:30:26.200 That is amazing.
01:30:27.340 Powerful, wasn't it?
01:30:27.780 So, what I learned there is our president is Joe Biden.
01:30:33.600 Yes.
01:30:34.220 And he used to be our vice president.
01:30:36.060 Correct.
01:30:36.520 Right.
01:30:36.760 But the question was, what do you do as vice president?
01:30:42.520 That was the question.
01:30:43.280 It was the question.
01:30:44.700 But I think her answer covered it.
01:30:47.960 And she has a right to say it, Pat.
01:30:50.080 She does.
01:30:50.480 She has a right to say it.
01:30:51.700 Yeah, she does.
01:30:52.360 You know who doesn't have a right would be, well, people like you.
01:30:57.660 Well.
01:30:58.020 Evil conservatives.
01:30:59.020 Yeah.
01:30:59.760 Here's Eric Swalwell on the Republicans.
01:31:03.700 Violent Republican rhetoric has put a target on the backs of all law enforcement.
01:31:08.700 And I say that with concern with two brothers who serve as police officers and walk the beat every day.
01:31:14.600 Because if you're hearing, you know, defund the FBI and that the FBI was responsible for a false flag operation, you don't distinguish between an FBI special agent and, you know, a police officer in your community.
01:31:27.460 You just consider it as law enforcement and the quote unquote deep state.
01:31:31.520 And so that's why we saw the attack that we did at the FBI field office.
01:31:35.980 And we're going to continue to see attacks on law enforcement until this violent rhetoric is disowned, disabused and discredited by Speaker McCarthy.
01:31:46.520 Okay, so this is this is the new tactic and Joe Biden has been doing it for a while, but he's so bad.
01:31:54.220 What he's doing is they are taking the anger that people have about, you know, defunding the police and and the and the horrific situation that they themselves caused and conservatives and Republicans stood against.
01:32:12.260 Uh, and they're tying that now directly to the FBI.
01:32:17.400 Those are two completely different agencies.
01:32:22.220 Yeah, but people can't differentiate between the FBI and your local police department.
01:32:27.600 They just they don't have the capability of doing that.
01:32:30.400 I'm pretty sure that's not true.
01:32:32.700 Huh?
01:32:33.080 Pretty sure that's not true.
01:32:34.560 But notice what they're doing.
01:32:36.460 This is this is killing two birds with one stone.
01:32:39.840 They are making you into a dangerous conspiracy theorist.
01:32:44.240 If you question the FBI, it's the same thing over and over with them.
01:32:52.220 The same thing.
01:32:53.740 It's always you're a danger.
01:32:56.700 You're a racist.
01:32:58.300 You're a conspiracy theorist.
01:33:00.300 Hey, what is what's going on when it was the cops?
01:33:04.600 You were a racist.
01:33:06.340 You were a conservative racist that just didn't care about people.
01:33:12.860 You knew that there were deep systemic problems and you would do nothing about it.
01:33:20.680 And now you're attacking the FBI, one of our most hallowed institutions of all time.
01:33:30.600 Why are you doing that?
01:33:32.740 You're doing it because you hate the cops and wanted to defund the cops the whole time.
01:33:37.640 And this is just your next phase.
01:33:40.260 Oh, my gosh.
01:33:41.760 It's incredible.
01:33:42.760 It is really from the people who are actually bailing out some of the people who are attacking police.
01:33:48.720 Yeah.
01:33:49.260 Back in 2020.
01:33:50.800 Now, I don't know.
01:33:52.060 I don't know if that's entirely true.
01:33:54.780 I mean, like, who could have?
01:33:56.120 I don't know.
01:33:57.920 Kamala Harris, for instance.
01:34:01.240 Well, she had to do what she I mean, she understands people who are again, your concerns are her concerns.
01:34:07.120 But, right.
01:34:08.040 You know, you know what needs to be done and she knows what needs to be done.
01:34:11.440 And so she's doing those things.
01:34:12.820 One last here is the latest from the man who, for some reason, MSNBC still thinks America wants to hear from Anthony Fauci.
01:34:28.960 How long in the future will we be getting booster shots?
01:34:32.280 You know, we don't know definitively the answer to that, but it is likely that this thing is not going to disappear.
01:34:41.160 It's not going to be eradicated and it's not going to be eliminated.
01:34:44.060 So it's going to be around, you know, for the foreseeable future.
01:34:48.300 So it is likely that we will require an intermittent likely at the same time as we get a flu vaccine at least once a year.
01:34:57.960 Very similar to what we do to keep updated on our immunity against influenza.
01:35:03.260 It is very likely that the similar situation we'll be experiencing with COVID, namely getting a booster shot once a year, probably at the same time as we get.
01:35:13.760 This guy is no longer in government and MSNBC still thinks he has credibility to come on the air.
01:35:20.820 That is that's in itself nuts.
01:35:23.780 But especially if you tie it to what's happening in in Congress and the president, he may veto this bill for disclosing the origins.
01:35:33.660 Now, I've been asking myself, why all of a sudden is the federal government willing to come out and say, we're pretty sure it did come from China.
01:35:42.140 Wait a minute.
01:35:43.920 What?
01:35:44.960 That was racist to say that.
01:35:47.540 Why are you reversing yourselves suddenly?
01:35:50.680 I believe this is FDRs.
01:35:54.360 You know, we just really need to keep an eye on those Japanese.
01:35:59.160 You know, those Japanese out in the Pacific Northwest and California.
01:36:03.920 We should keep our eye on those guys.
01:36:06.500 I mean, they're good Americans.
01:36:07.920 Good Americans.
01:36:08.600 But they belong behind barbed wire.
01:36:10.700 Let's look at that for a while.
01:36:13.120 I think this is our administration preparing you for war to hate the enemy.
01:36:20.480 I really think that because that's what we're doing with Russia.
01:36:23.980 You got to hate him.
01:36:26.360 You got to hate him.
01:36:27.680 And if you don't hate him, well, then you are anti-American.
01:36:31.560 You are just you.
01:36:32.640 Oh, you're you're so you're for Putin.
01:36:35.080 Huh?
01:36:35.220 Oh, so you're for the concentration camps in China, huh?
01:36:40.980 Wait, what?

01:38:02.100 Station.
01:38:02.400 I do.
01:38:13.260 You know, there's a couple of things that I want you to know about.
01:38:17.620 First of all, the podcast that comes out tomorrow with Vivek Ramaswamy is really, really good.
01:38:24.460 And if you missed Rick DeSantis last week on our podcast, go back and, oh, sorry, Ron DeSantis.
01:38:30.860 I, you know, I haven't said that in months.
01:38:34.000 Ron DeSantis.
01:38:35.840 Make sure you get the podcast from last week.
01:38:38.460 Vivek Ramaswamy also, or I shouldn't say also because Ron's not running yet.
01:38:42.760 Um, but, uh, Vivek is running for president.
01:38:45.960 And I want to, I want to just see if this sounds refreshing hearing this from quote, a politician, a guy who's really not, but wants to be president.
01:38:56.540 Listen to him cut 11 on securing our border.
01:39:00.180 That's the phone call to president Obrador.
01:39:01.800 Actually, it'll probably be a new president by January, 2025, but the president of Mexico, which is the same thing for a fraction.
01:39:08.000 And by the way, when I say fraction, I mean tiny fraction of what we are spending, protecting somebody else's border on the other side of the world.
01:39:14.660 We could actually not only protect our own border, but actually have a proper use case for the U.S. military to decimate the cartels.
01:39:22.640 And I think that phone call is, again, a promise.
01:39:24.580 It is a promise to say that for a fraction of what the last guy spent in, in God knows where, in Ukraine, for a fraction of that, we can help you and arm you to decimate the cartels.
01:39:36.580 I know they're your sugar daddy.
01:39:37.920 There's a new daddy in town.
01:39:39.860 We're going to help you solve this problem.
01:39:41.640 And if you don't, I'll make a promise.
01:39:43.600 We're going to solve it for you.
01:39:44.660 We're going to solve it for us because that's what's resulting in 80,000 to 100,000 fentanyl-related deaths per year, not to mention the homelessness crisis, not to mention actually even the violence increasingly on our side of the border from your failed narco state on the other side of the Rio Grande.
01:39:57.900 And if there's one job for the U.S. military, we believe it is to actually protect our own soil.
01:40:02.400 We're going to do it.
01:40:02.920 That's not a threat.
01:40:03.480 That's a promise.
01:40:04.500 So I think that we need leadership that takes that national identity.
01:40:08.880 You can only do that if you're standing on strong footing and believing in your nation, the ideals that your nation stands for,
01:40:13.920 both to the rest of the world and even to human history and posterity.
01:40:17.680 But if we're doing that, that's what we're protecting.
01:40:19.600 We can declare independence from China.
01:40:21.440 We can actually protect who would have ever thought our own border with our own military.
01:40:25.700 And I do believe that is a top use case for the U.S. military.
01:40:29.740 Me too.
01:40:30.740 Me too.
01:40:31.720 Did you see what Texas did with the new fentanyl law?
01:40:35.220 Have they passed it yet or was it proposed?
01:40:38.580 So far, I think it's proposed.
01:40:40.300 Proposed.
01:40:40.760 They're proposing now in Texas that if you sell a gram, I think, of fentanyl and somebody dies, you're going to be held for murder.
01:40:52.940 And I think that's great.
01:40:54.860 I think it's great.
01:40:55.460 Maybe a slight deterrent?
01:40:56.700 Yeah.
01:40:57.200 Perhaps.
01:40:57.460 I think it should just be, if you sell fentanyl, I don't care how much you have on you, you're selling fentanyl?
01:41:04.160 Yeah.
01:41:05.300 Bye-bye.
01:41:06.300 Yeah.
01:41:06.680 I mean, there's no, we don't know what's in this fentanyl.
01:41:10.200 The thing, if you've never taken fentanyl, go back and look online for YouTube.
01:41:15.980 I think I was on ABC's Good Morning America.
01:41:18.580 And I had just had surgery and I said, I feel like the doctors were trying to kill me almost.
01:41:27.980 And I explained that my doctor, who was not the one that had to perform the surgery or was involved at all, he said to me afterwards, he said, what did they give you?
01:41:39.280 And I told them and they made this cocktail and it was based, a lot of it based on fentanyl.
01:41:45.800 I didn't even know what fentanyl was at the time.
01:41:48.640 It says on the box for end of life use only.
01:41:55.580 It is so addictive.
01:41:57.580 Within two days, I was absolutely addicted to that stuff.
01:42:02.460 It is so powerful and it will kill you easily.
01:42:07.900 It says on the box, you have to put a fentanyl patch on.
01:42:11.140 If you touch the patch and you're putting it on to somebody and you're rubbing against it, you could accidentally take too much of it and it can kill you through your fingertips.
01:42:24.700 That's how deadly this stuff is.
01:42:26.740 Something like a thousand or ten thousand times more powerful than morphine.
01:42:31.040 Yeah, I think it's ten thousand times.
01:42:32.660 It's a lot.
01:42:33.500 What did they say?
01:42:35.220 Four hundred pounds of it could kill every man, woman and child in the United States of America.
01:42:43.980 And we're finding hundreds of pounds coming in.
01:42:49.900 And those people should go to prison for murder.
01:42:54.900 And in fact, in Texas might be the one to do it.
01:42:58.980 You know, you're selling fentanyl.
01:43:01.280 You know, I'm for the death penalty.
01:43:03.460 Maybe through fentanyl.
01:43:05.540 It's a nice way to go, I hear.
01:43:09.020 Enough is enough.
01:43:11.060 And Texas, I think, is starting to stand up in the latest session.
01:43:18.280 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:43:25.760 I want to tell you about Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
01:43:28.140 They have been honoring America's heroes doing good in their world ever since 9-11.
01:43:33.640 If you've not heard of them, they're an organization that provides mortgage-free homes to families of fallen and severely injured veterans and first responders.
01:43:41.900 This year alone, they're going to be taking care of hundreds of Gold Star and fallen first responder families and providing them with homes.
01:43:51.700 It was over 500 last year.
01:43:54.000 It's going to be more this year.
01:43:56.000 On Memorial Day, all the brave men and women lost since 9-11 in the War of Terror, had their names read aloud in the Tunnel to Towers ceremony in our nation's capital.
01:44:05.440 And through the Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute, the foundation is educating kids from kindergarten through 12th grade about 9-11.
01:44:13.640 They are not learning about it in school.
01:44:17.320 How can we forget this quickly?
01:44:20.720 Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good.
01:44:23.080 Help America never forget its greatest heroes.

01:44:45.760 Promo code will not be censored.
01:45:02.680 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:45:04.800 Yesterday, we had Missy Robinson on, and she was talking about something that she had experienced in Tennessee.
01:45:14.920 And she mentioned that Riley Gaines was there.
01:45:17.740 And this is the 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer who's been speaking out against, you know, guys competing as women in women's sports.
01:45:31.240 It's just, it's ridiculous what we're doing to women.
01:45:34.640 In the name of women, we're letting guys swim.
01:45:39.740 It's just insanity.
01:45:41.600 Anyway, and I was thinking about Riley, and I don't know if we've ever had her on.
01:45:45.580 Riley, are you there?
01:45:46.960 I'm here.
01:45:47.820 How are you doing, Glenn?
01:45:48.600 Very good.
01:45:49.420 Have I ever had you on?
01:45:51.220 No, you haven't, actually.
01:45:52.920 Jeez, I don't know why.
01:45:54.460 I just wanted to, I just, I wanted some good news at the end of the week.
01:45:58.100 And some people who are standing up and, and you were brought up yesterday.
01:46:03.220 And I thought, I wanted to just say thank you to you, Riley.
01:46:07.480 Well, you know, what's actually so funny is it's, it's been one year exactly since Leah Thomas competed against the women at our NCAA championships.
01:46:17.220 And so this week, I'm actually at the NCAA championships watching my teammates, my old teammates and stuff.
01:46:23.540 And let me tell you, I have had so many female swimmers, parents, coaches come up to me and say the exact same thing, which I think is really important because it shows how the true majority of people, especially the ones who are directly impacted, feel about this.
01:46:42.140 So I, I'm so grateful.
01:46:44.500 It's so crazy that it requires courage to speak up about this insanity, but I appreciate your thanks.
01:46:50.960 Well, so let me ask you, where are these people?
01:46:55.420 Because I am convinced every day that people know the truth.
01:47:01.020 They know they may not, you know, they, they may not be right on the truth, but pretty much our common sense gut is pretty good.
01:47:10.000 And this stuff that's going on in almost all fronts, people are not for, but they won't say anything.
01:47:19.020 Absolutely.
01:47:20.200 People are scared.
01:47:21.840 Coming from my experience and talking to other athletes, again, who were directly impacted their universities, the links, these universities are going to silence their voices.
01:47:33.740 It's actually really scary.
01:47:35.840 How are they doing it?
01:47:37.000 Well, based off my conversations with Leah Thomas's teammates who dealt with this every day, um, when they were concerned about sharing a locker room with someone who possessed and was exposing male genitalia, and they sent an email to their school, you know, expressing their concern.
01:47:55.440 And their administration responded back with, if you feel uncomfortable seeing male genitalia, here are some counseling resources that you should seek.
01:48:02.680 They were forced to go to mandatory LGBTQ meetings every week.
01:48:06.720 They were told that their school, that they were not allowed to, to use their voice because their school has already taken their stance for them.
01:48:13.220 They were told that they were responsible.
01:48:15.320 If any harm comes towards Leah Thomas's way, and so they're emotionally blackmailing and threatening and intimidating their swimmers, um, which is, which, like I said, it's terrifying.
01:48:28.020 Um, this is a country that thrives because we have so many freedoms, one of which being the freedom of speech.
01:48:33.140 And we, I'm seeing that being taken away from these swimmers, from the parents, from people within the administration, from medical professionals, even.
01:48:41.740 Oh, I know.
01:48:42.920 That's terrifying.
01:48:44.140 The medical professionals that are being silenced now, it's absolutely horrifying what is going to happen.
01:48:52.100 That is, that is the way to get groupthink, uh, in your medical profession.
01:48:58.740 And when groupthink happens, we've seen it happen, uh, in the past before, and it never leads to anything but nightmares.
01:49:08.420 No, you're a hundred percent right.
01:49:10.260 It's almost as if I feel like we're living in this George Orwell dystopian novel where they're trying to make us say two plus two is five.
01:49:18.980 Um, but we know two plus two is not five, but yet we have a sitting Supreme Court justice who can't even say what a woman is, um, because she's not a biologist.
01:49:29.740 But guess what?
01:49:30.660 Neither am I.
01:49:31.640 Neither are you.
01:49:32.460 But we still know what a woman is.
01:49:34.560 Yeah.
01:49:34.840 We know what womanhood entails.
01:49:36.580 We know the differences between men and women.
01:49:39.020 And to deny that is denying science.
01:49:41.720 It's denying common sense and logic and all the things.
01:49:44.660 So how do you feel about, um, I think it wasn't at a Catholic school where, uh, they said they didn't want to be in a, in a locker room with, uh, boys.
01:49:57.480 And so they, the game was canceled and now they're, they're not allowed to compete.
01:50:02.940 Right.
01:50:03.600 That right there shows you why more people aren't speaking up because this, this team, they were very straightforward about how this goes against.
01:50:14.660 What they think the women's sporting category was created for.
01:50:17.720 And now they're barred from other competitions.
01:50:20.360 But, um, there's another girl in Vermont actually who spoke out.
01:50:24.020 She's 14.
01:50:24.800 She's in high school.
01:50:26.640 Same thing.
01:50:27.480 She had a transgender individual on her volleyball team and she spoke out and she was immediately suspended from her high school.
01:50:33.260 Her dad was immediately fired from his job.
01:50:36.480 Um, they tried to force her to write an apology to allow her back into school to which she refused.
01:50:41.100 And then announced, of course, she's filing a lawsuit to which the school quickly let her back in.
01:50:46.600 It's amazing.
01:50:47.700 I have to tell you, um, Riley, you, you don't know this, um, now, but you're young enough to where you will live to the other side of this.
01:50:57.060 Um, you, you, you and people like you are going to be remembered as real heroes in this time.
01:51:05.700 Uh, depending on how it goes, um, how bad it has to get before we wake up, the, the bigger of the statue they'll make of people like you.
01:51:15.420 But it happens every time you, you hold to your values while the country loses its mind and goes over a cliff.
01:51:25.280 It eventually comes back and it's usually not in, in that person's lifetime.
01:51:31.280 Um, but, uh, they are remembered as leaders.
01:51:35.720 Well, I think what you said is perfect.
01:51:40.400 A perfect analogy of what's happening is, is we've swung too far.
01:51:43.860 The pendulum, we have far exceeded what is sane.
01:51:48.620 Um, and I believe we're in the process of hopefully restoring that pendulum to normalcy.
01:51:55.200 Um, but I get told all the time, you know, you will be on the wrong side of history because you're not inclusive.
01:52:00.740 You're not being kind, but guess what?
01:52:02.720 Affirming these people, um, these, these males who want to identify as women and infiltrate into our one sex protected spaces, that is not kind.
01:52:11.920 And that is not inclusive.
01:52:13.480 Um, we are not helping these individuals.
01:52:16.040 We are harming them with women being the collateral damage in the process.
01:52:20.940 Big time.
01:52:21.740 So if you had advice to give to somebody to stand up, uh, cause I, you know, I, if I were leading a, uh,
01:52:30.180 if I were a coach, I'd be a very bad coach.
01:52:32.260 But if I, if I were a coach, I would, um, I would make the case girls, this is much more important than any award.
01:52:41.800 We could ever win.
01:52:43.920 A hundred percent.
01:52:45.380 What, what is, what would you, what advice would you give to, you know, anybody who is in this situation and not speaking out?
01:52:53.200 Um, first and foremost, I think it's crucial that parents, coaches, the people who are supposed to be protecting us, um, even me last year in the situation, I was 21.
01:53:04.600 When all this happened, I was adult, an adult, but I felt like someone was supposed to be protecting us in which there were, you know, like I said, parents, coaches, people within the NCAA, these are the people who need to use their voice.
01:53:18.060 Um, then of course it comes to the female athletes, just like you said, and it took me a while to realize this, there is so much at stake when we're denying the sheer essence of humanity, man and woman.
01:53:31.840 Um, we have got to be willing to stand firm and what that is and what our differences are and how we deserve to be recognized and celebrated because when we allow one man, one man into our spaces, this is a slippery slope.
01:53:48.840 It's only a matter of time before one male national champion becomes three and then five and so on and so forth.
01:53:56.360 And people will take advantage of the system that we have in place.
01:53:59.120 Um, it's happening in prisons, um, just in California in the recent weeks, there's been 1200 men applied to be in women's prisons because of course you get to be housed with women.
01:54:09.180 And these women are, these men are convicted of heinous things like rape and child pornography and kidnapping, but yet they're going to live with women because they say they are one.
01:54:19.120 We have to be bold.
01:54:20.580 We have to stand true.
01:54:21.620 We have to stay educated on the topic.
01:54:23.620 And I hate saying that because it makes me sound like some sort of advocate or activist.
01:54:28.280 Um, but it's important.
01:54:30.560 We have to know that this is happening to believe the narrative that this is a non-issue that cannot be further from the truth.
01:54:37.340 I could list off examples for the next hour of the radio show, but I don't want to, I don't want to bore you guys.
01:54:43.360 Um, but it's important to stay educated and to use your voice, be bold, stand firm in your values.
01:54:49.000 Because like I said previously, this is the majority who feels the exact way I'm speaking.
01:54:55.680 Riley, um, I don't know if you know this, but I collect history and, um, uh, I've learned one thing.
01:55:04.360 And that is, there's been people in my life, uh, during, during my life that have done remarkable things.
01:55:10.860 And I have missed the opportunity to record, uh, that, um, and, uh, I, I don't want to miss those.
01:55:19.340 You are one of those people, I think, that are important to our history.
01:55:24.360 Um, I would love for you to, if you could just even a page, uh, just handwrite out your thoughts of why you stood and what you were standing for.
01:55:33.280 Um, so I could, I could include it in our museum and I'd love to have you come down at some point and do a, a podcast with me.
01:55:41.300 You're great.
01:55:41.980 Well, that sounds absolutely incredible.
01:55:43.800 And I would be up for that anytime.
01:55:45.700 And I, I really appreciate you having me on and just continuing to shed light on this really important and detrimental issue.
01:55:54.200 Riley.
01:55:54.740 Thank you.
01:55:55.700 God bless.
01:55:56.800 Yes.
01:55:57.300 Thanks.
01:55:57.800 Amen.
01:55:58.720 She's amazing.
01:56:00.640 Awesome.
01:56:01.180 Amazing.
01:56:02.340 Okay.
01:56:02.780 In January, I told you that the U S breached our debt ceiling eight months ahead of schedule.
01:56:08.420 Fast forward to today, zero progress has been made by the Biden administration in negotiating a meaningful increase.
01:56:14.820 In fact, they managed to go backwards.
01:56:18.060 We are now looking at a Biden budget of almost $7 trillion.
01:56:23.360 I mean, business insider put out a great report recently.
01:56:33.000 Uh, you'll find it on the gold line website, a gold line.com deal of the week page says debt default could happen as soon as July.
01:56:40.260 And if so, the country could face the biggest financial crisis in history.
01:56:43.600 We are talking about a stock market crash.
01:56:46.560 We're talking about failures and it's none of it is none of this stuff is real.
01:56:52.600 We could pay our debts, but the game that Washington plays will screw it all up.
01:56:59.180 Today is the last day that gold line is offering for free.
01:57:03.960 150 of the original one ounce copper great seal rounds for every qualifying order of $5 gold, Liberty or Indian coins that you acquire.
01:57:13.360 You can buy a box of Indians or Liberty coins in tubes or boxes of 20.
01:57:18.660 Ask gold line about the difference.
01:57:20.560 You're going to, you're going to get a buttload of free copper as well as just a thank you for supporting the program.
01:57:25.860 Call 866 gold line.
01:57:27.960 They're waiting for your call.
01:57:29.020 Now, please, please call gold line and just find out if it's right for you or your family.
01:57:35.220 Call 866 gold line.
01:57:38.140 Join the conversation.
01:57:40.360 888-727-BECK.
01:57:42.480 The Glenn Beck program.
01:57:57.260 Hey, let me just sweep up on a couple of things that are breaking now.
01:58:02.320 First of all, the International Criminal Court has just issued a warrant for the arrest of Vladimir Putin for war crimes.
01:58:12.480 War crimes that our Pentagon said we they won't testify about at all.
01:58:19.100 You know, which is the response I would expect after you've blown up the Nord Stream pipeline.
01:58:26.040 But so that's happening.
01:58:28.700 That means he can't leave.
01:58:30.140 Jason Buttrell is with us.
01:58:31.520 That means he can't leave Russia now.
01:58:33.420 Right.
01:58:34.120 Technically.
01:58:34.640 But like this seems kind of symbolic to me, right?
01:58:37.180 Because, I mean, let's say he travels to Latvia.
01:58:41.340 Are the Latvian police are going to do an armed takedown of the president of Russia to arrest him for the ICC?
01:58:46.660 This isn't going to help things.
01:58:48.260 Also, on the Hunter Biden story, I was telling you today we have to look into the energy company.
01:58:54.500 And as our chief researcher, you did some work today and you found that this this holdings company or this energy company is connected to.
01:59:06.300 So largely the CEFC bank, which is now bankrupt.
01:59:10.760 It went out, I think, in 2020.
01:59:12.860 But this is the big bank that I think it's a no, I'm sorry, not bank, but they're the biggest private energy company or were in China.
01:59:20.600 But it's also where we heard from them was this is where that email from the laptop, Hunter Biden's laptop came out that said, you know, 10 for the big guy.
01:59:29.080 Oh, it came from that bank?
01:59:30.900 That deal.
01:59:32.060 Yeah.
01:59:32.300 Oh, my gosh.
01:59:32.920 So this other company that just distributed all that money or the House Oversight Committee outed, they were like kind of like a subsidiary to them is what it's looking like.
01:59:42.640 Okay.
01:59:43.220 So we'll have more on that on Monday.
01:59:44.780 And Hunter Biden just sued the computer shop owner for interesting timing.
01:59:52.140 Yeah.
01:59:52.500 Yeah.
01:59:53.260 Yeah.
01:59:53.840 I mean, for the hacked computer that the no, the one he left, the Russians.
01:59:58.440 No, no, no, no.
01:59:59.540 Not that one.
02:00:00.320 No, that one.
02:00:01.200 That one doesn't exist.
02:00:02.700 Huh?
02:00:03.240 Yeah.
02:00:03.700 This is the real one.
02:00:05.020 Why would you sue over Russian disinformation?
02:00:06.760 Yeah.
02:00:06.980 Why would you?
02:00:08.100 Well, now he's saying it.
02:00:09.300 Now he's saying it's for privacy.
02:00:11.240 Violation of his privacy.
02:00:12.620 Oh, so it was his.
02:00:13.420 Okay.
02:00:13.580 Yeah.
02:00:13.900 So it was definitely his, but we're just going to have to dismiss it now.
02:00:20.820 Don't pay attention to all the things that are now out.
02:00:24.340 He's going to sue the guy.
02:00:25.920 And so that way, if he wins, you know, you won't be able to use any of that in court.
02:00:32.000 I think they're getting close.
02:00:33.700 I really do.
02:00:34.740 Oh, I think they're very close.
02:00:36.500 Who is on that disperse sheet?
02:00:39.700 Quote Biden.
02:00:40.840 Everyone else is named.
02:00:41.940 We can identify every other single person that got money, but the one that just says to Biden.
02:00:46.780 Well, Pat and I were talking about this off air earlier.
02:00:49.700 We think it could be Ashley, but yeah, right.
02:00:51.900 The daughter, the daughter, the one whose diary was, was taken, you know, said, you know,
02:00:57.260 something happened with me and dad when I was young in the shower.
02:00:59.880 We think it might just be a million dollar payoff for Ashley.
02:01:04.020 Keep your mouth shut.
02:01:05.580 Keep your mouth shut.
02:01:07.100 It's so funny.
02:01:07.980 The White House was like, they responded like, I guess a year ago to the Times and said, this is a private citizen doing business and how dare they?
02:01:15.540 And everything was legitimate and by the book.
02:01:17.720 Like, now, maybe I'm not a businessman, right?
02:01:22.380 But if I want to hide something, you know, I don't want people to know, I just like have this subsidiary company send funds to a lawyer who then waits a couple months until after I'm not in position anymore.
02:01:34.920 Then just scatters all the money between my family members.
02:01:38.760 But totally not for me.
02:01:40.500 But, you know, the second cousin that lives in Virginia, go ahead and give that person 20 grand.
02:01:46.320 What's crazy is, again, they always self-diagnose.
02:01:49.720 Whatever they said Trump was doing, it turns out they were doing.
02:01:53.980 Turns out they were doing.
02:01:56.640 Anyway, have a great weekend.
02:01:58.880 Tomorrow, another great podcast that you don't want to miss.
02:02:02.320 We'll see you back here Monday.
02:02:04.920 God bless.
02:02:10.460 The Glenn Beck Program.
