00:02:10.240 Hey, good news.
00:02:14.160 The president yesterday said he was going to cut about 7% of our supply of oil and the price of oil has gone down.
00:02:21.940 Makes total sense.
00:02:23.420 Love it.
00:02:24.020 Loving it.
00:02:25.260 Love it.

00:02:32.200 I love what you're doing behind the curtain.
00:02:34.800 Just keep doing it.
00:02:36.740 Russia, however, is warning of a $300 price of oil if we continue.
00:02:46.080 Saudi Arabia said, yeah, we're not going to pump more oil, Joe Biden.
00:02:54.480 We're actually on the side of Russia.
00:02:57.080 That's good news.
00:02:58.440 That's really good news.
00:02:59.840 What does this actually mean?
00:03:02.200 And what does it mean to you?
00:03:04.540 We'll explain in 60 seconds.
00:03:11.980 Ramon wrote in about his wife's experience with Relief Factor.
00:03:15.420 He said, I ordered Relief Factor for my wife, and it really does work.
00:03:18.960 In fact, I think it works better than advertised.
00:03:21.700 My wife's pain level has dropped off dramatically.
00:03:24.940 She's not only able to get around the house more easily, but her pain level is much more manageable.
00:03:29.520 Thank you so much for this product.
00:03:32.180 I will tell you that when I first started considering doing Relief Factor commercials,
00:03:39.300 I met a lot of the people just right around here that have taken Relief Factor.
00:03:44.700 I mean, you know, in the Dallas area.
00:03:47.220 I met a couple whose husband ordered it for his wife, and she was on narcotics.
00:03:52.920 Her pain level was off the charts.
00:03:57.300 She had come off of narcotics.
00:03:59.920 Her pain was manageable, and they both cried, and he did too.
00:04:04.480 He's like, I got my wife back.
00:04:06.360 Get your wife back.
00:04:07.280 Get your life back.

00:04:22.760 Feel the difference.
00:04:24.720 Okay, so let's look at something, shall we?
00:04:30.280 Um, I'm offering gas cards to my staff, the first one that finds this, because I know I read about it, uh, before Ukraine.
00:04:40.100 Um, the, one of the things that the, uh, Fed was looking to do to control inflation was create demand destruction.
00:04:51.840 And I know I read it a couple of months ago, three months ago, because, um, I didn't really understand what demand destruction was.
00:05:00.880 Demand destruction is something that happened to us in the 1970s.
00:05:05.260 If you were alive, you'll remember this.
00:05:07.480 If you weren't, just go with me for a second.
00:05:10.120 We had, uh, OPEC cut off our oil, and we had an oil crisis.
00:05:15.780 And price of gas went through the roof, and we had shortages.
00:05:22.020 People had to have, you know, a certain license plate.
00:05:25.160 If you had an odd number license plate, you could buy it on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
00:05:30.660 Uh, if you had an even, you would get it Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
00:05:35.720 And that was just to keep the gas lines from forming, because they were so long.
00:05:41.040 It was crazy.
00:05:42.980 Uh, and what happened?
00:05:45.060 Well, back in the 1970s, we were making these boats for cars.
00:05:51.080 I mean, they were enormous, enormous.
00:05:55.160 I don't even, honestly, I, I, I'd love to open up some of the hoods of some of these old, like, remember the old Continental Mark 4 or 5?
00:06:04.680 And it was like the size of a car.
00:06:07.620 The hood was the size of a car.
00:06:09.560 I know, I have to look into one, because the engine must have seemed really small in that giant space.
00:06:16.520 But we made these cars the bigger, the better.
00:06:20.240 And then the oil crisis hit.
00:06:22.340 And it wasn't bigger, the better.
00:06:25.460 Uh, it was the exact opposite.
00:06:28.040 People couldn't afford to drive those boats at eight miles a gallon.
00:06:32.400 So there was a country that was making little teeny cars that, that were very fuel efficient.
00:06:39.440 And that country was Japan.
00:06:41.820 This is what put Japan on the map, uh, after World War II.
00:06:46.920 Japan was still known kind of as this country that made crappy things.
00:06:51.560 And it all really stemmed from, from their grenades that they used in World War II.
00:06:58.140 Uh, they never really went off.
00:07:00.000 And so the, the guys came back from World War II, from Asia, and they were like, yeah, made in Japan, man.
00:07:07.180 It means it doesn't work because their grenades usually didn't go off.
00:07:10.820 But they, uh, were making very small cars called a Honda CVCC.
00:07:18.920 And it was a, uh, it was an engine, a motorcycle engine that had been turned sideways.
00:07:24.560 And it, honestly, it looked like a clown car.
00:07:28.120 And it never sold anything in America until the oil crisis.
00:07:35.020 Then it took off and Honda became Honda.
00:07:39.440 Okay.
00:07:39.680 That's demand destruction.
00:07:43.320 You have something that is so high priced that people are like, I can't buy it anymore.
00:07:49.960 And then they'll find ways if they have to have it like transportation, they'll find ways to use less of it.
00:07:58.020 For instance, in the seventies, we got rid of all the big boats and we, that fleet changed on a dime.
00:08:04.860 People were not driving those huge cars in the 1980s.
00:08:09.220 They were gone because people couldn't afford to drive them.
00:08:13.980 So that's demand destruction.
00:08:15.740 And it allows something else to take off like Honda.
00:08:19.500 Okay.
00:08:20.740 Okay.
00:08:22.400 We're in demand destruction right now with oil.
00:08:25.460 And, uh, it's gonna, it's gonna cause us to use, uh,
00:08:30.360 uh, can't could, uh, I guess we found, uh, one of my, one of my producers just found an article on it.
00:08:38.580 Um, I think this is being orchestrated.
00:08:41.900 I think this is another thing that just didn't feel right.
00:08:44.620 I think our demand destruction of oil was orchestrated.
00:08:48.140 It's going to keep us, uh, off of gasoline and, and, uh, looking for new sources of energy because we just can't afford it.
00:08:57.500 Okay.
00:08:58.100 But it also slows down the economy.
00:09:00.900 And what was the Fed saying before all of this?
00:09:03.700 The economy is overheating.
00:09:05.400 Did you feel like our economy was overheating?
00:09:08.000 Cause I didn't feel like our economy was overheating.
00:09:10.640 I didn't feel like we were in the Trump days when things were really good.
00:09:14.940 Did you?
00:09:16.340 I mean, it depends on what they mean.
00:09:17.960 I mean, there was that, that thing where a lot of businesses were looking for employees and no one was showing up to work.
00:09:23.880 Correct.
00:09:24.240 That, that, that level of it, but it wasn't like we were in a great economic time.
00:09:28.340 Correct.
00:09:28.780 No, not at all.
00:09:29.740 We were coming back.
00:09:30.960 Yeah.
00:09:31.320 We were coming back from a real big downturn.
00:09:33.700 Okay.
00:09:34.040 So here's, here's what's, uh, happening.
00:09:36.500 And I, I want to explain, I want you to understand, um, why I say it's really bad to get off Russian oil without opening up our own oil fields.
00:09:53.760 Okay.
00:09:54.400 It is the best thing we can do.
00:09:56.540 We, I like that morally we're trying to help Ukraine and we do it by canceling, cutting off their blood supply.
00:10:06.500 Over in Russia, but we're also cutting it off here and the rest of the world.
00:10:13.640 When you think of a barrel of oil, I want you to think that every time, if you have, let's say you, you know, you have 20 gallon tank.
00:10:22.920 Every time you fill up, you're using one barrel of oil, one barrel of oil will only, uh, produce, that's like 19 and a half gallons of gasoline.
00:10:38.040 Okay.
00:10:39.060 That's pretty remarkable, uh, that it is that low that leaves over half of the oil, not able to be turned into gasoline.
00:10:49.620 So it's turned into other things.
00:10:52.500 So I want you to understand if the price of gasoline is going up because of the oil shock, there are a few other things that are made from that other about 55%.
00:11:09.960 Let me just give you a couple of them.
00:11:13.180 Solvents, diesel fuel, motor oil, bearing grease, ink, floor wax, ballpoint pins, football cleats, insecticides, boats, sweaters, upholstery, bicycle tires, sports car bodies, nail polish, fishing lures, perfumes, golf bags, tires, dresses, cassettes, uh, dishwasher parts, toolboxes,
00:11:33.960 shoe polish, uh, transparent, uh, transparent tape, petroleum jelly, caulking, motorcycle helmets, CD players, faucet watchers, antiseptics, clotheslines, curtains, food preservatives, baseballs, basketballs, soap, vitamin capsules, antihistamines, purses, shoes, dashboards,
00:11:52.960 dashboards, cortisone, deodorant, shoelace, aglets, putty, dyes, pantyhose, refrigerants, linings, rubber, uh, rubbing alcohol, life jackets, percolators, skis, TV cabinets, shag rugs, electricians tape, uh, paint, epoxy, car battery cases, tool racks,
00:12:12.880 mops, mops, slacks, insect repellent, oil filters, hair coloring, fertilizers, yarn and umbrellas, and roofing, toilet seats, fishing rods, lipstick, denture adhesives, linoleum, ice cube trays, synthetic rubber, speakers, plastic wood, electric blankets, glycerin, dice, fishing boats, rubber cement, tennis rackets, nylon rope, candles, trash bags,
00:12:40.460 house paint, water pipes, uh, and, uh, hand lotion, and roller skates, and surfboards, and shampoo, wheels, um, paint rollers, shower curtains, safety glasses, aspirin, luggage, guitar strings, antifreeze, football helmets, awnings, eyeglasses, clothes, toothbrushes, uh, ice chest, footballs, combs, CDs, DVDs, paintbrushes, detergents, tents, uh, balloons, vaporizers,
00:13:07.540 heart valves, crayons, parachutes, telephones, enamel, pillows, dishes, cameras, and, uh, anesthetics, uh, um, let's see, artificial turf, turf, artificial limbs, bandages, hair curlers, folding doors, model cars, dentures, cold cream, movie film, soft contact lenses, drinking cups, ammonia, shaving cream, car enamel, fan belts, refrigerators, golf balls,
00:13:34.020 and, of course, toothpaste, I'm sorry, gasoline, okay, but other than that, but other than that, okay, so now, here's what's happening, when you take that, uh, under half a barrel of oil,
00:13:50.540 that is made into gasoline, each barrel of oil is about 20 gallons of gas, that's remarkably low, I always thought it was much more than that, the rest of it goes into these refineries, and they are doing something, uh, these refineries become crackers, not crack us, but crackers,
00:14:14.500 what does a cracker do? A cracker takes the remaining part of the oil and breaks it up through high pressure and heat and, uh, takes the molecules and breaks them apart and then says, okay, we're going to make styrofoams, we're going to make, uh, we're going to make motor oil, we're going to take these, uh, molecules, and we're going to make, um, you know, uh,
00:14:44.480 car bodies, whatever, car interiors, glasses, any of these other things, that's what a cracker does, that is always running at a hundred percent, because there's never enough styrofoam and plastic to cover all the meat,
00:15:00.920 so we always run these things 100 percent capacity, they are now being backed off to 80 percent capacity, because the crackers run by crack us, I would assume, uh, oh my gosh, why would you assume that?
00:15:20.760 Well, because they're evil, that's why, anyway, the crackers, running the crackers, say, we can't make enough money, because there's going to be a, uh, a price, uh, destruction, there's going to be demand destruction, people aren't going to want that little play thing for their baby made out of plastic, because it's going to cost way too much money.
00:15:46.280 So, if you thought that there was a problem with supply and demand, you ain't seen nothing yet, and when people are telling you, well, we're willing to pay higher prices for gas, are you?
00:16:06.380 Because I've never met that person before, never, uh, well, Stephen Colbert, he doesn't care, he doesn't care.
00:16:16.680 Yeah, that's a fascinating one, too, because he doesn't care, because he says he drives a Tesla.
00:16:20.160 Yeah.
00:16:20.600 Totally ignoring the fact that this is not just an oil crisis, it's an energy crisis.
00:16:25.540 Right.
00:16:26.020 It's a, it's a, um, rare metals and rare minerals crisis.
00:16:29.960 Right.
00:16:30.200 For example, guess what gets put into every Tesla, a lot of it, nickel.
00:16:34.400 Nickel.
00:16:34.980 Just exploding in price.
00:16:36.860 Went up $67 yesterday.
00:16:39.020 Nickel.
00:16:39.700 And it's China and Russia who control all of this stuff.
00:16:42.300 Oh, wait a minute.
00:16:43.120 What?
00:16:43.180 So, go ahead with your electric cars and act as if it makes us, you know, less energy independent.
00:16:49.180 And when you see the price of everything going up, just remember, the people who are leading you to this are the ones that say we have to get rid of fossil fuels.
00:16:59.340 Less than half of each barrel goes to gasoline.
00:17:05.640 The rest of that barrel goes to make everything else we have grown accustomed to.
00:17:12.460 Everything else.
00:17:13.720 So, when you think that your friends tell you, well, the price, it's worth it, really, you cannot disconnect the price of oil and the price of gasoline to the price of food or plastic or anything else that you are used to buying.
00:17:35.340 Demand destruction is going, is coming, and it is coming fast.
00:17:41.660 So, every morning when you get up, you step in the bathroom.
00:17:47.820 You've got the, you're going to face the same thing, that bathroom mirror.
00:17:51.100 How does that look?
00:17:51.800 You happy about it?
00:17:52.520 I know I am thrilled every day.
00:17:54.320 Oh, I love it.
00:17:54.820 I'm like, wow, that guy looks good.
00:17:56.500 Yeah.
00:17:56.900 You know?
00:17:57.500 Well, I use it because I look at it and say, look at that fat guy.
00:18:01.100 Not going to be like him.
00:18:02.300 No.
00:18:03.100 I look good compared to that guy.
00:18:05.360 Now, my understanding is that GenuCell is not going to help you lose weight, unfortunately.
00:18:08.740 Because then, then we'd have something really big.
00:18:11.740 I tried it.
00:18:12.480 I tried to take a bath in it.

00:19:18.920 All right.
00:19:30.840 I just want you to know CNN is here to make sure you understand you're alone.
00:19:36.340 You're alone.
00:19:37.460 Yeah, it is only you.
00:19:39.400 Listen to this report.
00:19:40.660 People we've spoken to over the last couple of weeks, they're OK paying higher prices if it means holding Russia accountable for what they are doing.
00:19:48.920 But these prices are likely going to creep higher, Kate.
00:19:52.720 We'll see how they feel in the next week or so.
00:19:55.180 Yeah, you're alone.
00:19:56.040 Most people are totally fine with paying higher prices at the gas pump.
00:20:02.220 Totally fine.
00:20:03.620 Yeah.
00:20:04.020 Yeah.
00:20:04.540 Now, here's a nice one from ABC that kind of disagrees.
00:20:12.320 We have it.
00:20:12.800 Tonight, the pain at the pump being felt by Americans across the country.
00:20:19.540 How does it feel to have four gallons after 20 bucks?
00:20:22.960 Doesn't feel good.
00:20:23.900 That used to be a half a tank.
00:20:25.100 The average price of gas now a record $4.23 a gallon.
00:20:29.520 When you add it all up, Americans are spending $250 million more every day on gas than we were a month ago.
00:20:37.140 In California, drivers see prices that start with sixes and even sevens.
00:20:42.760 60 bucks to fill up my tank.
00:20:45.480 Used to be 40.
00:20:46.600 Some gas stations barely keeping up with the hikes.
00:20:50.060 In New Jersey, the average price up 52 cents since last week.
00:20:54.760 What was it like to just fill up right now?
00:20:57.040 It was crazy.
00:20:57.960 It's absolutely astronomical.
00:20:59.820 It's painful at the pump.
00:21:01.120 It really is.
00:21:01.760 Especially when you drive a big truck and it's 20 gallons, it's $100 every week.
00:21:06.940 It's $500 a month.
00:21:09.440 Now, that sounds bad.
00:21:10.900 But I want you to just imagine.
00:21:15.040 Imagine how great this could be.
00:21:17.040 Cut nine.
00:21:19.560 Imagine all the heavy-duty vehicles that keep our supply lines strong and allow our economy to grow.
00:21:27.140 Imagine.
00:21:28.180 Imagine.
00:21:28.700 Imagine that.
00:21:29.400 That they produced zero emissions.
00:21:31.820 Imagine that.
00:21:33.600 Wow.
00:21:34.120 Well, you all imagined it.
00:21:35.600 Yeah, you imagined it.
00:21:36.220 That's why we're here today.
00:21:37.620 Yeah.
00:21:38.180 Because we have the ability to see what can be.
00:21:41.460 Yeah.
00:21:42.240 Unburdened by what has been.
00:21:43.840 Uh-huh.
00:21:44.700 And then to make the possible actually happen.
00:21:48.500 Okay.
00:21:48.940 What is this?
00:21:49.620 Let me just say, not the past, but we can imagine what can be.
00:21:56.900 You're leaving out what is.
00:21:59.240 You know what I mean?
00:22:00.140 Mm-hmm.
00:22:00.740 It's like if Elon Musk said, you know what?
00:22:04.640 People have to get off this planet and go to Mars with me.
00:22:09.940 Uh, and so, uh, don't build anything else but a rocket ship and houses on Mars.
00:22:19.880 That might be a problem for everybody who's still living in the present instead of, uh, you know, that utopia on Mars that I'm sure it's going to be.
00:22:31.500 Actually, Elon, if you're listening, I would sign up right now.
00:22:35.520 I would sign up.
00:22:37.260 Uh, I mean, you could just launch me out of a hatch halfway through for the entertainment of everybody else.
00:22:41.940 I, that will be better than living here.
00:22:43.960 I'm pretty sure.
00:22:44.860 I'm, I'm pretty sure.

00:25:17.720 Pat Gray is joining us now and I'm beginning to regret it already.
00:25:21.280 By the way, tonight I'm going to explain on my Wednesday night special at nine.
00:25:24.920 I'm going to retell the movie Titanic, except the Russians and oil prices and an economic weapon of mass destruction.
00:25:33.500 In the iceberg, okay?
00:25:35.740 Uh, and Jack still hasn't, uh, found his way to a safe door or anything floating.
00:25:40.700 In my version too, he still dies with that witch on the door going,
00:25:44.520 Don't they kill Jack?
00:25:45.800 Oh my.
00:25:47.180 Anyway, we'll explain the world by using Titanic tonight at nine.
00:25:51.080 Don't miss it.
00:25:51.700 Right after a brand new Stew Does America and hours and hours after the Pat Gray show.
00:25:59.220 Hours and hours, literally.
00:26:00.760 Yeah.
00:26:01.040 All right, good.
00:26:01.780 So, Pat, what's on your mind today?
00:26:04.180 I've got a couple of things that would be stuck in my craw if I had a craw,
00:26:08.520 but of course I had my craw surgically removed years ago, years ago.
00:26:12.620 So, but, uh, there's a couple of things we've all been expressing.
00:26:16.780 Well, you and I and some others, uh, in the industry have been expressing a little bit of uncomfortability,
00:26:22.680 awkwardness with this all in for Ukraine thing.
00:26:25.920 I mean, I, I don't want anything bad to happen to the citizens.
00:26:29.000 The citizens are good.
00:26:30.200 The citizens are good.
00:26:30.920 The citizens are good.
00:26:31.660 The government traditionally has not been.
00:26:34.300 What do you mean by that?
00:26:36.280 Uh, and there's a, a member of parliament that was on Fox, uh, yesterday that kind of
00:26:42.200 explained what exactly it is Ukraine is fighting for.
00:26:45.620 Okay.
00:26:45.820 For the rest of us that aren't Ukrainians, I think the world, quite frankly, Kira, is surprised by the will of the Ukrainian people to stand up and fight.
00:26:55.920 Are you?
00:26:56.360 Well, I'm not surprised.
00:26:56.900 I, uh, we have been fighting, uh, Putin for the last eight years and we had three revolutions in our country when we did not agree with what was going on with, uh, the direction of where we're moving in.
00:27:11.000 But right now it's a critical time because we know that we not only fight for Ukraine.
00:27:16.540 We fight for this new world order for the democratic countries.
00:27:20.960 We knew that we are the shield for the Europe.
00:27:24.180 We knew that we are protecting not only Ukraine.
00:27:27.340 We are protecting like all the other countries that would be next.
00:27:30.980 Right.
00:27:31.380 Wait a minute.
00:27:32.460 So the new world order, you have a problem with that?
00:27:34.480 I do.
00:27:34.980 Yeah.
00:27:35.320 You don't think that the people of Ukraine are out there in the streets thinking I am fighting for the new world order.
00:27:41.080 I can't wait to bring on the great reset.
00:27:42.900 I can't wait.
00:27:44.040 Yeah.
00:27:44.320 You know who she is.
00:27:45.640 She's a member of parliament.
00:27:47.620 Yeah.
00:27:47.840 But she's also a member of the world economic forum.
00:27:52.400 Now that I didn't know.
00:27:53.740 Yeah.
00:27:53.880 She is.
00:27:54.200 So that makes sense why she's for the new world order.
00:27:56.720 Really talking about the great reset.
00:27:58.360 We are also fighting for the great reset.
00:28:00.600 Yeah.
00:28:00.780 I didn't know that part.
00:28:01.880 So, you know, we hedged it a little bit on my show when we were talking about it because if maybe she doesn't understand new world order.
00:28:08.720 No, she does.
00:28:09.220 She's part of it.
00:28:09.740 No, she does.
00:28:10.180 Yeah.
00:28:10.380 She's part of it.
00:28:11.400 Yeah.
00:28:11.560 No, she's part of it.
00:28:12.260 Oh, wow.
00:28:12.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:13.420 And so then maybe that's why we feel a little bit on edge on this whole thing.
00:28:17.180 Yeah.
00:28:17.840 Yeah.
00:28:18.180 Some few things don't make sense.
00:28:19.600 I'm not fighting for the new world order.
00:28:21.300 Yeah.
00:28:22.080 No.
00:28:24.180 That's not something I'm on board with.
00:28:25.780 Although Vladimir Putin is.
00:28:27.940 He's fighting against the new world order.
00:28:30.120 He is for.
00:28:31.380 He's fighting for a totally different new world order, though.
00:28:33.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:34.300 He's fighting for.
00:28:35.280 Just as much as the other one.
00:28:36.360 Correct.
00:28:36.640 He's fighting for his national world order where it is nation states and Russia can just take all of those states that they want.
00:28:46.480 This is national versus international new world order.
00:28:51.540 Right.
00:28:51.880 The reason I care about this is because we have an alliance with a bunch of countries that are one country away from Ukraine.
00:28:59.780 Yeah.
00:29:00.180 I also care, obviously, for the people of Ukraine and the obvious human stuff.
00:29:05.640 Right.
00:29:06.160 But like as far as U.S. national interest, that's the concern.
00:29:09.460 I don't want Russia to grow.
00:29:11.600 I don't want them attacking freaking Estonia and draw us into a war with Russia.
00:29:16.120 So here's this is why this is why our president and our Congress Senate on the Democratic side, for sure.
00:29:24.440 And some Republicans, they're not representing you.
00:29:28.340 They're representing now.
00:29:29.860 I don't know, Europe or they're representing the Great Reset or they're representing the Ukrainian people.
00:29:36.240 But they're not representing you.
00:29:37.680 If you want to say we have a moral responsibility to help the people in Ukraine, I disagree with that.
00:29:45.020 I don't think we do have a moral responsibility as a nation.
00:29:48.740 Maybe as individuals and people, we do have that responsibility to see it, to say something and to help in all we can.
00:29:57.520 But the moral responsibility for our leadership is to make sure that the United States of America remains stable and secure and that its people can actually continue to move on with their lives.
00:30:15.800 So you strengthen the United States and then you can help more people.
00:30:21.920 What they're doing is helping Ukraine and Europe and everybody else and hurting us just as badly.
00:30:29.460 That's that's not that's not a group of people that represent me because that's suicide.
00:30:36.880 And I don't want to engage in that.
00:30:39.260 And meanwhile, they're building it on a house of lies and nobody is correcting their lies.
00:30:45.080 Joe Biden's speech yesterday was incredible, filled with nothing but lies.
00:30:49.460 Yeah, nothing but like first of all, he blamed Russia because of for the rising oil prices for the gas prices.
00:30:57.160 Well, the price has risen for the last year, ever since he got into office.
00:31:01.740 It's been rising.
00:31:03.000 Right.
00:31:03.260 The Ukraine situation is going on for two weeks.
00:31:05.720 So some of it, you know, it's gone up the last few days because of Russia and Ukraine, but it's it's gone up mostly because of him and his policies.
00:31:16.660 Yeah.
00:31:16.800 I mean, I remember everyone was like, oh, you know, if this stuff happens and we could see five dollar gallon gas in California before any of this Russia, Ukraine stuff happened.
00:31:26.680 I was in California and saw five dollar a gallon gas.
00:31:29.420 It was there before any of this stuff occurred.
00:31:31.980 Of course it was.
00:31:32.700 Of course it was.
00:31:33.140 Now it's at seven dollars.
00:31:34.460 Now we're actually higher than the fictional gas station from the movie.
00:31:40.840 I am legend.
00:31:42.020 You know this?
00:31:42.920 Oh, my God.
00:31:43.400 Remember the zombie apocalypse?
00:31:45.140 Yeah.
00:31:45.340 Yeah.
00:31:45.460 The world collapses.
00:31:46.980 And at one point, Will Smith is, you know, getting something off the ground in the background.
00:31:50.240 You see like an Exxon Mobil sign.
00:31:51.580 It's like six sixty three for regular.
00:31:54.320 And now it's at six seventy one for regular in parts of California.
00:31:57.920 So worse than the zombie apocalypse.
00:32:00.740 Yeah, that's not bad.
00:32:01.660 Good job, Joe.
00:32:02.580 That's not bad.
00:32:03.420 That's not bad.
00:32:03.860 But, you know, it's all because of these oil companies.
00:32:06.640 Yeah.
00:32:06.920 They won't drill.
00:32:07.600 They could drill if they wanted to.
00:32:08.740 They got nine thousand leases.
00:32:10.100 I heard it from the president.
00:32:11.080 Which is down from thirty seven thousand under Trump.
00:32:13.940 Thirty seven thousand.
00:32:15.460 No, no, no.
00:32:16.440 He didn't cut any of that.
00:32:18.800 Yeah.
00:32:19.100 No, he said yesterday.
00:32:20.460 I know he said.
00:32:21.340 Yeah.
00:32:21.720 Yeah.
00:32:22.120 Yeah.
00:32:22.460 He said, in fact, we're going to pump.
00:32:23.920 We're going to pump another record this year.
00:32:27.920 Yeah, because Trump started the rebuild there.
00:32:32.620 Yeah.
00:32:32.920 He inherited.
00:32:34.660 Right.
00:32:35.320 And so that kind of spilled over into his administration.
00:32:38.280 Right.
00:32:38.620 We're still down from the end.
00:32:39.680 We're still.
00:32:40.180 And by the way, they're.
00:32:40.820 Yeah.
00:32:41.000 They're comparing it to his first year.
00:32:43.720 Donald Trump's first year in office.
00:32:45.320 Yeah.
00:32:45.520 Which was.
00:32:45.900 I love suffering from the Obama years.
00:32:48.340 Yes.
00:32:48.940 Yes.
00:32:49.260 So he ramped it up, got it to 2019, which was much higher than we are now, because, of
00:32:54.380 course, this obviously has been reversed.
00:32:55.880 They bragged about reversing it.
00:32:57.300 The whole thing they did.
00:32:58.820 They came in the first day and signed all these things to stop oil production.
00:33:02.180 And now they're denying they did it.
00:33:03.560 Not true.
00:33:05.080 Here's the energy secretary.
00:33:06.920 2021.
00:33:07.860 Cut five.
00:33:08.960 The Energy Information Administration, which is inside the Department of Energy, but it's
00:33:14.800 independent.
00:33:15.700 It predicts that we are going to turn the corner in early 2022 in terms of pricing at the pump.
00:33:22.200 See, they knew.
00:33:23.420 They knew.
00:33:23.960 They knew.
00:33:24.520 They knew.
00:33:25.260 We turned a corner.
00:33:26.100 They knew.
00:33:26.880 Now, remember, we weren't having a problem with gas prices, you know, until January 20th.
00:33:33.780 And the president is sworn in.
00:33:35.720 We have no problem.
00:33:36.640 Nobody was talking about gas prices.
00:33:39.380 We were fine.
00:33:40.240 And we were energy independent for the very first time.
00:33:44.200 And explain for a minute the 9000 oil leases, because there's more to that than meets the
00:33:50.200 year as well.
00:33:51.020 So when you have a lease, gas companies, oil companies, they go to the United States and
00:33:57.340 they say, you have all this land and we think there might be oil in this section and we would
00:34:05.680 like to apply for a lease so we can explore it.
00:34:08.800 So they get a lease and for like a five year period or whatever it is, they can go and explore
00:34:14.960 it.
00:34:15.280 Doesn't I don't think it necessarily means you can pump it.
00:34:18.140 It means you can explore it.
00:34:20.740 OK, yeah, because you need the permit as well.
00:34:23.620 Yeah.
00:34:23.920 To pump it.
00:34:24.440 To pump it.
00:34:25.220 So and I could be wrong on that.
00:34:27.040 Sometimes I don't have the permit, but they do have the lease.
00:34:29.360 Right.
00:34:29.580 And so they have the lease.
00:34:30.960 But that lease does not mean that there's oil or gas there.
00:34:36.480 They wanted to explore to see if there was.
00:34:39.180 They may find no gas or no oil.
00:34:41.640 They may actually find oil or gas, but it would be way too expensive to pump it out.
00:34:47.920 So they still have the lease, but they're not pumping on it because it's too expensive
00:34:52.920 or there's nothing to pump out.
00:34:56.220 It wasn't economically feasible to get to any gas or oil that was there.
00:35:00.120 Correct.
00:35:00.520 Right.
00:35:00.660 Yes.
00:35:01.100 And that's why the thirty seven thousand number is so impressive, because that means he was
00:35:06.100 allowing them, OK, you've got to dry well here.
00:35:08.860 Go find another one somewhere else.
00:35:10.660 And that's why they had thirty seven thousand leases, because they were moving around trying
00:35:14.420 to find the oil and successfully finding it and pumping it.
00:35:17.800 Doesn't their own rhetoric here, though, show how much they're lying?
00:35:22.680 Right.
00:35:22.820 Like, yeah, for example, they are the ones saying this is the greatest existential threat
00:35:27.640 to all of humanity.
00:35:28.940 So but now they're arguing they're not limiting it like, wait a minute, you've been telling
00:35:34.900 us forever everyone's going to die because of this product.
00:35:38.100 So you weren't limiting it.
00:35:39.260 What were you doing?
00:35:40.560 That's a great point.
00:35:41.760 And then they say, hey, these oil companies are the most selfish, profit driven, money
00:35:50.000 hungry, terrible.
00:35:51.240 They're going to they're going to do everything they can to screw the American people.
00:35:54.700 And all they want is money.
00:35:55.940 It's all they care about.
00:35:56.560 They don't care about human lives.
00:35:57.600 All they care about is money.
00:35:58.500 But they have nine thousand leases.
00:35:59.960 They just don't want to get the oil out right now.
00:36:01.800 They don't want to make the money from those nine thousand wells.
00:36:04.240 Does that make any sense?
00:36:05.680 No, if they're so evil and money hungry, if there was oil there, they'd be drilling for
00:36:12.500 it.
00:36:13.140 Right.
00:36:13.320 Let me just play one more cut, because remember, Joe Biden said he was going to do everything
00:36:17.200 he could.
00:36:18.920 Everything he can to make sure he drives down the price of oil.
00:36:22.200 He's going to he's going to do everything he can.
00:36:25.140 And here is.
00:36:28.380 Here's cut five.
00:36:30.600 Gas prices, because gas prices relate to a foreign policy initiative that is about something
00:36:37.660 that goes beyond the cost of gas.
00:36:39.820 And we're about three thirty gallon.
00:36:41.500 Most places that now when it's up from was down in a single digits, I mean, a dollar plus.
00:36:46.660 And and that's because of the supply being withheld by OPEC.
00:36:52.780 And so there's a lot of negotiation that is.
00:36:57.640 Hello, there's a lot of Middle Eastern folks want to talk to me.
00:37:02.020 I'm not sure I'm going to talk to them.
00:37:04.760 But the point is, it's about gas production.
00:37:07.660 There's things we can do in the meantime.
00:37:09.980 Do you think there's a do you see a do you have a timeline for gas prices of when you think
00:37:13.960 they may start coming down?
00:37:14.940 My guess is you'll start to see gas prices come down as we get by and going into the
00:37:21.860 winter.
00:37:22.740 I mean, excuse me, in the next year in twenty twenty two.
00:37:25.300 Yeah, I don't see.
00:37:26.420 All right.
00:37:26.640 Stop it.
00:37:27.140 It didn't work, obviously.
00:37:28.660 And he said, I'm not sure I'm going to deal with those people.
00:37:31.820 Well, yesterday they went hat in hand to Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia said, yeah, we're
00:37:36.240 not interested in talking to you.
00:37:37.800 So all that help from Saudi Arabia.
00:37:41.300 Thank you, Joe Biden.
00:37:42.760 You did a really, really good.
00:37:45.100 Gosh, I remember just a year ago when the entire Arab world seemed to be united against
00:37:52.540 Iran, getting along with us and Israel.
00:37:58.580 Those were the days.
00:38:00.920 Thanks, Joe.
00:38:03.240 Gosh, let's go, Brandon.
00:38:05.420 Ren wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green.
00:38:10.260 She said, ever since we started mixing Rough Greens into Piper's food, she always finishes
00:38:14.780 her meal.
00:38:15.720 She loves the product so much.
00:38:17.220 We also noticed that since she started, her fur is fuller, softer, brighter and just beautiful.
00:38:22.600 Thank you so much, Rough Greens.
00:38:24.800 Ren, thank you so much for listening and writing in.
00:38:27.220 There is nothing quite like helping your dog live a healthier and happier life.
00:38:32.500 I can tell you from my own personal experience, our dog Uno is a member of the family and we
00:38:40.280 want him to live as long as he can, as happy and as healthy as he possibly can.
00:38:45.320 Rough Greens is not a dog food.

00:39:47.120 Oh, yeah.
00:39:47.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:39:51.980 I'm glad you're here.
00:39:52.880 What did the Bitcoin is up now?
00:39:55.320 It was thirty nine thousand.
00:39:56.960 I think yesterday it's back to 37 at one point yesterday.
00:39:59.900 Was it?
00:40:00.420 And then it's up to forty two thousand now per Bitcoin.
00:40:05.100 Yeah.
00:40:05.740 What what happened yesterday with the with the legislation or the the executive order on Bitcoin?
00:40:12.620 Yeah, that's why it was down.
00:40:13.800 And now this is why it's up, because the executive order details leaked out a little bit yesterday.
00:40:18.680 And there's more out now, which basically makes this all look like a kick the can down the road type of situation.
00:40:24.860 There doesn't seem to be much meat to it.
00:40:26.920 It seems to be we're going to get a commission together to study this and that.
00:40:32.160 This doesn't mean that long term they don't come to a really bad conclusion.
00:40:36.560 But I think everybody was expecting more meat and more harm to be done by this.
00:40:42.540 And right now it looks like it's just a bunch of commissions to study how to do harm later.
00:40:47.860 So, you know what?
00:40:50.860 I think we're doing enough harm right now.
00:40:52.880 Let's let's plan for the future.
00:40:54.920 Let's not use all of it at once.
00:40:57.220 Right.
00:40:57.840 They want to make sure they get the harm just exactly right.
00:41:00.840 So that's coming in the future.
00:41:03.180 Sure, it does nothing more than bias time.
00:41:06.440 But I think that is a positive development compared to what could have been here with all the stuff going on.
00:41:12.560 They could have buried all sorts of nonsense in an executive order here that could have done real harm to the entire industry as it develops.
00:41:19.180 So I think good news for the day.
00:41:21.220 Gold spiked yesterday.
00:41:22.560 I think it was $2,050 yesterday.
00:41:27.160 That's a pretty big spike.

00:45:03.000 How do we fight back?
00:45:04.060 Well, with the truth.
00:45:07.000 And right now, you being a trusted source of truth to your friends is critical.
00:45:16.120 You need to know when you're talking to them, this is true.
00:45:21.440 There's nothing that will hurt you more than saying this is true and then finding out when they get on Google and they're like, no, it's not.
00:45:30.880 No, it's not.
00:45:32.600 You have to know that it is true.
00:45:35.420 And there are some things that you just instinctively know for true.
00:45:38.620 Let me give you this.
00:45:39.800 A Kentucky-based virtual sex education summer camp taught young attendees how to masturbate, obtain an abortion, and have sex while on drugs.
00:45:50.240 The Sexy Sex Ed Camp was a virtual camp based out of Hazard, Kentucky.
00:45:58.860 Isn't that Dukes of Hazard?
00:46:00.940 Hello?
00:46:02.180 Warning!
00:46:03.160 Warning!
00:46:04.080 The place you're going for this sex camp is Hazard.
00:46:07.040 This is not...
00:46:08.960 Well, I mean, Daisy Duke.
00:46:10.200 I mean, you know, they had that on their mind, obviously, a long time ago.
00:46:14.640 The organizers have been operating sex education workshops for children since 2012.
00:46:20.240 The camp first gained attention on Twitter Tuesday after the account Libs of TikTok and Manhattan Institute scholar Christopher Rufo, God bless him, shared information about the camp, including details about the camp curriculum, which includes a workshop on masturbation.
00:46:39.000 Look, I don't think I need to go any further.
00:46:43.180 Do you?
00:46:43.580 Do you know this is wrong?
00:46:48.940 Do you know why it is wrong?
00:46:53.020 Okay, so who are the parents that are sending their kids to this camp?
00:46:59.000 Who are they?
00:46:59.980 Who are they?
00:47:00.920 Most likely, not you, nor anyone you associate with.
00:47:05.440 Now, I don't know.
00:47:07.200 I don't know how many kids went to it.
00:47:09.060 I, you know, no idea.
00:47:12.840 No idea.
00:47:13.740 I don't know who's sending their kid there and thinks that that is a good idea.
00:47:19.380 Now, in the America I grew up in, it wasn't in this universe.
00:47:23.760 It was a parallel universe.
00:47:24.920 Looks very similar to this one, except lately, everything is different.
00:47:30.760 In my universe, that wouldn't have happened.
00:47:34.980 You know, the America I grew up in, in that parallel universe, everybody would have gone, excuse me, especially in a place like Hazard, Kentucky.
00:47:44.540 They would have been, you're doing a what?
00:47:47.060 Nah, I don't think I can give you a business license for that.
00:47:49.240 Uh, parents would just know, yeah, I don't think my child needs a, uh, a masturbation workshop.
00:47:58.760 I think he probably, no pun intended, has it handled, you know?
00:48:02.180 I think he's, I think he probably has that, you know, on his own.
00:48:04.820 I don't think you need a workshop on that.
00:48:06.620 I feel like the pun was intended there.
00:48:09.560 Well, you, you'll have to decide.
00:48:11.320 I don't think so.
00:48:12.340 Okay.
00:48:12.740 So, um, they, uh, the website said they would use visual and performance art.
00:48:20.060 Okay.
00:48:20.800 That's porn.
00:48:21.900 Let's just be straight.
00:48:22.800 That's porn.
00:48:23.860 All right.
00:48:24.300 So now, how do you fight that?
00:48:30.560 You don't have to, you know, pick up burning torches or anything else.
00:48:34.720 You just have to calmly say with all the other parents in your community.
00:48:39.980 Yeah, that's sick.
00:48:41.320 That's sick.
00:48:42.000 That's wrong.
00:48:42.740 I don't think we should, uh, provide permits for that.
00:48:45.420 I, you know, I just don't think that's right.
00:48:48.000 Uh, Hey, Ron DeSantis, uh, he's, uh, he's coming out against gays.
00:48:55.020 No, he's not.
00:48:55.600 No, he's not.
00:48:56.480 Um, he just doesn't think that the school should be able to tell a kindergartner, you know, maybe
00:49:02.660 you're a girl.
00:49:03.780 No, no, that's wrong.
00:49:05.620 It's sick.
00:49:06.780 And it is, uh, grooming.
00:49:08.960 That's what that is.
00:49:09.940 That's grooming.
00:49:10.620 And, uh, no, not going to do that.
00:49:14.220 You don't have to get into a fight.
00:49:16.580 In fact, I highly recommend you don't get into a fight.
00:49:20.020 The more, the minute we raise our voices, I think we lose.
00:49:24.500 And I think that's really difficult right now in this universe because I only want to raise
00:49:32.100 my voice because the people who are doing that, for instance, let me ask you, did you
00:49:37.220 see that McDonald's has finally shut down all of their restaurants in Russia?
00:49:41.960 Why did they do it?
00:49:44.240 Well, because they were getting such pushback from their customers.
00:49:50.240 Really?
00:49:51.840 Because I didn't once think driving by looking at the golden arches thinking, man, I'd like
00:49:58.860 a filet of fish right now.
00:50:00.080 Now, I did not once think, but I'm not going to have it because they won't close their restaurants
00:50:07.960 in Russia.
00:50:08.880 In fact, I didn't even think to check if they had closed all of their restaurants.
00:50:13.960 Now, today, Kentucky Fried Chicken is coming under great, great pressure to close their
00:50:21.640 restaurants in Russia.
00:50:23.360 Pressure from whom?
00:50:24.740 From whom?
00:50:25.580 Who are these people?
00:50:26.620 I'd like to know.
00:50:27.820 Well, the media is writing stories about it, so that's why it winds up being that, you
00:50:31.860 know, somebody on Twitter tweets about it.
00:50:34.660 It gets, you know, 40 retweets.
00:50:36.420 Then some, you know, business insider or something writes a story about how they so far they have
00:50:42.520 not closed these.
00:50:43.260 And then it turns into a big thing.
00:50:44.660 It's all the way up to the CEO.
00:50:45.640 And they're like, we have to close these stores.
00:50:47.760 It doesn't become a big thing.
00:50:50.400 It becomes a big thing in the CEO's mind.
00:50:53.600 It's not a big thing.
00:50:54.440 Totally.
00:50:54.660 Most people are not thinking about that.
00:50:56.440 They're not.
00:50:57.280 They're not thinking about it.
00:50:58.220 And like, look, I am really against Vladimir Putin.
00:51:01.500 Really think what he's doing is bad.
00:51:03.440 I do, however, believe the Russian people should be able to eat.
00:51:08.060 Well, I don't know about that.
00:51:08.640 They didn't make the decision.
00:51:10.260 If they want to eat food, they should probably be able to eat food.
00:51:14.360 If you want to do something, if you want to sell, you want to take all your Russian projects,
00:51:18.760 profits.
00:51:19.360 Like KGB, disinformation king.
00:51:21.560 And donate them to Ukrainian support.
00:51:25.700 All right.
00:51:26.520 You know, but like making it so that Russian citizens who very well might be against the war can't have an egg McMuffin is not a solution to this problem.
00:51:36.140 Well, OK.
00:51:39.240 All right.
00:51:39.880 I don't know how you deal with the I just want to raise my voice.
00:51:42.480 He is so pro Putin right now.
00:51:44.440 That's all I'm hearing.
00:51:45.840 I started.
00:51:46.600 I want Putin to to just torture these poor people in in Ukraine.
00:51:53.300 That's that's what America is hearing.
00:51:54.980 That's what they're hearing.
00:51:55.920 Yeah, that's what they're hearing.
00:51:56.860 When I say that, so now I want an egg McMuffin.
00:51:59.820 No, I do, too.
00:52:00.940 Anyway, we just have to understand this is not the majority of Americans.
00:52:06.040 This is not the majority of of Democrats.
00:52:10.260 You know, when we get into a place to where it's us versus them, can I just can I just ask who is the them?
00:52:20.140 Who are they?
00:52:22.160 They them.
00:52:23.600 You know, I can have friends who disagree with me politically.
00:52:33.040 I've had friends.
00:52:34.080 We've had a producer who said he was a communist.
00:52:36.400 I don't think he was a communist.
00:52:37.700 The guy who runs my company used to be a Marxist.
00:52:41.280 You know, it changed him.
00:52:43.260 He went life.
00:52:45.280 Yeah, he grew up.
00:52:46.580 Right.
00:52:46.860 No, he went to he went to restoring honor and he was going kind of just to see what was going on.
00:52:52.860 And he was going to laugh about it.
00:52:54.180 And he was like, something happened, opened up his mind over the years.
00:52:58.680 He started to go, you know what?
00:53:00.700 I'm wrong.
00:53:01.260 This Marxist thing doesn't work.
00:53:04.380 OK, so is he them?
00:53:07.180 No.
00:53:07.820 If you are actively trying to destroy our families.
00:53:13.640 Yeah.
00:53:14.120 Then then I am an enemy of yours.
00:53:16.060 I am an enemy and I don't mean that I'm going to come and get you.
00:53:20.020 I mean, I'm going to do everything I can in my power to make sure that everyone else in the community knows that what you're preaching is poison.
00:53:28.480 It is poison.
00:53:30.660 What these people are preaching is poison.
00:53:34.340 Poison to our families.
00:53:35.600 BLM on their list of things to do today is destroy the traditional family.
00:53:44.260 Then that makes you an enemy of my family.
00:53:47.920 That's fine.
00:53:49.520 Go ahead.
00:53:50.600 But I'm not going to not speak out anymore.
00:53:54.700 The problem.
00:53:55.240 Here's where the right has always lost.
00:53:57.380 We always just are like, OK, it doesn't matter.
00:54:02.420 All right.
00:54:03.960 Whatever.
00:54:05.480 No.
00:54:07.020 No.
00:54:08.160 You can't say those things anymore.
00:54:10.440 You can't.
00:54:12.240 DeSantis did exactly the right thing.
00:54:14.520 Do we have that clip from him?
00:54:16.220 This is a clip from him.
00:54:17.420 You've probably seen it a myriad of times.
00:54:19.540 Here he is at a press conference and of all places, the strawberry festival.
00:54:24.340 Here he is.
00:54:24.980 What critics call the don't say gay bill is on the Senate floor.
00:54:27.700 Does it say that in the bill?
00:54:29.000 I know that you support.
00:54:30.180 Does it say that in the bill?
00:54:31.520 I'm asking.
00:54:32.160 I'm asking you to tell me what's in the bill because you are pushing false narratives.
00:54:36.220 It doesn't matter what critics say.
00:54:37.700 Hold on.
00:54:37.960 It says it bans classroom instruction on sexual identity and gender orientation.
00:54:41.900 For who?
00:54:43.260 For grades pre-K through three.
00:54:46.720 Five-year-olds, six-year-olds, seven-year-olds.
00:54:49.160 And the idea that you wouldn't be honest about that and tell people what it actually says,
00:54:55.520 it's why people don't trust people like you because you peddle false narratives.
00:55:00.220 And so we disabuse you of those.
00:55:01.820 Where did he win?
00:55:03.280 Where did he win?
00:55:04.480 Well, the first win was going to the Strawberry Festival, which is awesome.
00:55:07.720 It's awesome.
00:55:08.240 It's crazy.
00:55:08.860 We went there to see Wayne Newton.
00:55:11.120 Yeah, baby.
00:55:12.380 Just picture Glenn and I in the front row cheering on Wayne Newton at the Strawberry Festival.
00:55:16.020 We loved it.
00:55:16.600 That happened and I loved it.
00:55:17.880 Yeah, yeah.
00:55:18.140 Anyway, and you told me you wouldn't.
00:55:20.700 You thought, ah, nobody could love it.
00:55:22.160 And he was fantastic.
00:55:23.720 He was awesome.
00:55:24.140 Yeah.
00:55:24.380 All right.
00:55:24.820 Anyway, where did he win in that argument?
00:55:28.380 Well, as you point out, he didn't raise his voice.
00:55:30.940 He just said the facts.
00:55:33.160 But he did push back.
00:55:35.000 It wasn't like a-
00:55:35.840 Correct.
00:55:36.340 You know, it wasn't like a, look, you know, please.
00:55:38.680 It's not just, you know, it's not that we don't want people to say gay.
00:55:43.240 It's just that, you know, it wasn't-
00:55:44.900 He asked for facts.
00:55:46.580 Yeah.
00:55:46.920 Tell us the truth.
00:55:47.880 Tell me the facts.
00:55:48.900 And then when he said, for whom?
00:55:52.620 For whom?
00:55:53.500 Who is it?
00:55:54.400 Who is it?
00:55:56.140 Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, or whatever it was.
00:55:59.380 That's when he won.
00:56:01.000 Yeah.
00:56:01.200 That's when he won.
00:56:02.120 Because everyone, everyone-
00:56:05.120 Everyone knows.
00:56:05.820 Except the, you know, the pedophiles and the people who just have a completely different view.
00:56:14.580 And I mean, not even in the same neighborhood as the average Democrat.
00:56:19.240 These are the people like, yeah, let the baby die in a closet if you have to.
00:56:22.960 No.
00:56:24.200 No.
00:56:25.060 He lost at that point.
00:56:27.060 Yeah, because what's interesting about this is the way the left knows this.
00:56:33.120 They know they're crazily out of step with America here.
00:56:36.060 Yes, they do.
00:56:36.300 That's why they named the Florida bill the Don't Say Gay Bill.
00:56:40.120 Why?
00:56:40.800 Because the Don't Say Gay Bill, if that's what it is, they win.
00:56:46.560 Because it's insane to ban the word gay from all conversations.
00:56:52.320 Instead, what the bill actually does is something totally different.
00:56:56.380 And when you get them on the turf where it exists, you win.
00:56:59.100 The same thing is happening here in Texas, Glenn.
00:57:01.260 If you look at the, they're talking about whether you should be able to have very harmful surgeries and treatments on children who may be questioning their gender for whatever reason.
00:57:16.760 Read any article about this bill in Texas.
00:57:21.780 And what they will say is, Governor Greg Abbott is banning gender affirmation treatment.
00:57:29.680 Now, gender affirmation treatment, first of all, doesn't sound bad and kind of just sounds good, right?
00:57:37.580 Like, okay, you're affirming a child.
00:57:40.600 I would say, if my son said, I'm a girl, and I said, no, let me affirm your actual gender, you're a boy, right?
00:57:49.840 That would be gender affirmation to me.
00:57:52.900 And so a lot of people hear that and it's like, oh, gender affirmation, what's the big deal?
00:57:56.640 Well, no.
00:57:57.240 Why don't you say what it is?
00:57:59.560 Why don't you say you're taking body parts off of children?
00:58:03.080 Why don't you say you're adjusting their entire development as a child into an adult and with different medications and unproven treatments and all these other weird experiments you're going to try on a bunch of kids?
00:58:15.920 Why not discuss it as it is?
00:58:18.380 Because they know they lose if they discuss it as it is.
00:58:21.980 So what DeSantis did there, and I think it's brilliant and it's a model.
00:58:26.080 There's a reason why this guy is ahead of everybody else, with the exception of President Trump when it comes to these polls, because he does this better than anybody.
00:58:32.660 He puts the discussion where it should be, on the playing field it should be.
00:58:37.020 We don't mind defending our ideas and our arguments and our plans for the future.
00:58:41.920 We're just never arguing that.
00:58:44.300 They set it up on a playing field that's different than reality.
00:58:47.680 Correct.
00:58:47.960 And then they try to win it there, and the media assists them in making that reality the reality that most people understand.
00:58:54.940 So I want to take this to Ukraine.
00:58:57.600 So there's how you fight.
00:58:59.240 You fight on the facts.
00:59:01.040 You question them.
00:59:02.660 Question.
00:59:03.480 Just tell me what it really means.
00:59:05.240 Tell me what it really means.
00:59:06.300 Tell me what it really means.
00:59:08.300 Question them.
00:59:09.340 Stay calm.
00:59:10.620 But don't cede your ground.
00:59:13.340 Now let me take that to Ukraine in 60 seconds.
00:59:17.180 Nina wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
00:59:19.480 She says, Relief Factor got me out of pain.
00:59:21.380 I can now work in my flower garden.
00:59:22.940 I can walk my dog, run up and down my stairs without being in pain anymore.
00:59:26.680 I also sleep through the night without an ice pack on my knee.
00:59:30.700 I love Relief Factor.

01:00:17.300 Station ID.
01:00:26.140 All right, so here's the argument, have you noticed, on Russia.
01:00:34.920 If you disagree, you are pro-Putin.
01:00:39.300 No, I'm not pro-Putin.
01:00:40.900 I'm not pro-Putin.
01:00:42.600 And I'm not going to argue that I'm pro-Putin.
01:00:45.000 Or, you know, that I'm not pro-Putin.
01:00:46.960 That is such a ridiculous...
01:00:49.340 What makes me pro-Putin?
01:00:51.900 Well, you don't think that we should stop him.
01:00:54.280 No, no, no.
01:00:54.760 I think we should stop him.
01:00:56.140 Um, how should we stop him?
01:01:00.120 That's the question.
01:01:01.160 Well, we should cut off his oil.
01:01:03.100 Okay.
01:01:04.220 Um, what happens to gas prices here and around the world in the West?
01:01:10.040 They go up, but I'm willing to pay a couple more dollars.
01:01:13.040 Okay, you're already paying a couple more dollars,
01:01:15.320 and we're at the beginning of this.
01:01:17.480 Are you willing to pay six, seven?
01:01:20.920 How much are you willing to pay?
01:01:22.420 Are you also willing to put up with food shortages, which will happen because we use that natural gas to make fertilizer?
01:01:32.200 And we get a lot of our fertilizer from Russia.
01:01:35.120 Are you willing to have a shortage of wheat and see that the world goes through a real struggle with food and people starve to death?
01:01:45.520 Because Ukraine produces 25% of the world's wheat, 25%.
01:01:51.300 I think it's Ukraine and possibly Russia thrown in on top of that.
01:01:54.800 Uh, are you willing to do those things?
01:01:57.580 Well, he'll just go into another.
01:01:59.380 No, answer the question.
01:02:00.600 Are you willing to do that?
01:02:02.020 Are you also willing to tube your entire, not lifestyle?
01:02:07.740 We can all go, I'll take a hit.
01:02:09.340 Our grandparents did for World War II.
01:02:12.180 It's not that.
01:02:12.920 It's an end to our way of life, our system, our economy, the U.S. dollar.
01:02:22.440 It's the end to all of it.
01:02:24.400 Are you willing to lose your entire savings?
01:02:29.220 Well, no, but that's not going to happen.
01:02:30.780 It is going to happen.
01:02:32.420 And I can show you all of the facts and all of the experts because it's math.
01:02:36.620 At this point, it's just math.
01:02:39.140 So that is going to happen.
01:02:41.160 Are you willing to do it?
01:02:43.700 Well, in that case, well, no, but that's not going to happen.
01:02:46.800 Okay.
01:02:47.520 Here's where I can meet you in the middle.
01:02:50.480 Open up all of our oil and gas fields right now.
01:02:55.660 If you want to stop Russia, the way to do it is not through war, not through nuclear weapons.
01:03:01.620 I agree.
01:03:02.340 Cut him off.
01:03:03.320 That hurts the most.
01:03:04.300 And that is oil and gas, but not the rest of the world.
01:03:08.440 We cannot make the rest of the world suffer and collapse the West by doing it.
01:03:15.100 Just think of the effect on gas prices.
01:03:18.320 If a Democratic president just signaled they were going to do that, forget the actual oil
01:03:23.520 coming on the market.
01:03:24.560 But think about what the effect would be if a Democratic president, Mr. I, you know, global
01:03:29.240 warming is the biggest existential threat, said, you know what?
01:03:31.780 This threat is so big.
01:03:32.700 We're opening up.
01:03:33.440 We're going to take care of this problem.
01:03:35.400 Just the announcement would be massive.
01:03:37.920 Yeah, it would be.
01:03:39.080 But they won't even do that.
01:03:40.340 No.
01:03:41.500 So you have to ask yourself, why?
01:03:44.940 Which one of us is wrong?
01:03:47.960 The one with all of the stats?
01:03:50.440 The one that can show you that 9,000 leases down from 35,000 leases under Trump and those
01:03:58.620 9,000 leases don't mean that there's anything to drill for on that ground?
01:04:03.620 Which one of us is telling the truth?
01:04:05.120 Which one's lying?
01:04:05.880 One of my favorite people in Congress, Chip Roy, is joining us here in just a second.
01:04:20.100 Navigating your finances can be very tricky work, especially the more assets you have.
01:04:25.320 If you've got a home, for example, knowing whether or not to refi the mortgage and when
01:04:29.500 is the kind of thing that seems so complicated.
01:04:32.000 You just are like, I don't know when to deal with it.
01:04:35.880 Now is not the time for hesitation.
01:04:39.620 Do what you need to do now and find somebody who's on your side, not the banks.
01:04:45.440 That's where American financing comes in.
01:04:48.140 For over 20 years, they've been helping people just like you to make the financial decisions
01:04:52.180 that can save you a ton of money.
01:04:54.600 Their mortgage consultants can do a free mortgage review for you over the phone.
01:04:58.220 They'll let you know what your options are.
01:05:00.080 There are never any obligations, no upfront or hidden fees.
01:05:03.100 And during the collapse of 08, their clients didn't have a problem with the collapse of
01:05:09.460 the housing market, generally speaking, because they didn't do any of those weird loans.
01:05:15.580 They'll give you sound advice.
01:05:18.020 Call them now.

01:05:23.400 Back to back, Studios America and Glenn TV tonight on Blaze TV.
01:05:27.100 It's BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.
01:05:29.000 The promo code is Glenn.
01:05:30.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:05:40.960 Remember, what was it, yesterday, two days ago, we had a Mississippi representative on
01:05:47.740 and he said about, he was talking about the tri, what was it, the tri-state compact.
01:05:53.000 Just got a note from him, said, we're in committee right now, killing the tri-state compact.
01:06:01.360 That is really good news.
01:06:03.300 Apparently, people have called in in those three states and said, no, we're not doing it.
01:06:10.160 Please look for these things in your state.
01:06:12.820 All kinds of things are being passed, and you don't know about them, and they are restructuring
01:06:22.380 America entirely.
01:06:25.280 All right.
01:06:25.920 There's another bill that you should be very well aware of.
01:06:30.180 Chip Roy is here.
01:06:32.020 Congress has to pass a spending bill by Friday to avoid a government shutdown.
01:06:37.260 Let me hang on just a second.
01:06:39.380 Let me pause for a minute to think about all the bad things that might happen with a government
01:06:44.540 shutdown.
01:06:45.300 OK, that's enough time.
01:06:47.580 I'm over my morning now.
01:06:49.420 Let's go to Chip Roy.
01:06:51.300 Hello, Chip.
01:06:51.860 How are you?
01:06:53.740 I'm doing great, Glenn.
01:06:54.980 How are you, my friend?
01:06:55.920 I'm good.
01:06:56.460 So now this this has to pass by Friday.
01:06:59.760 But you got the spending bill last night to it this morning, 2 a.m.
01:07:07.700 Yeah, that's exactly right.
01:07:08.800 Just so your listeners understand what's going on.
01:07:10.780 Right.
01:07:11.020 You'll remember that there was a continuing resolution that was passed in September to
01:07:15.200 December, then December to February 18th, then February 18th to March 11th, which, of
01:07:20.060 course, is Friday.
01:07:21.080 At every point at that along that line, we conservatives have been saying we should be doing something
01:07:27.340 to fight for the American people, like in vaccine mandates, like stand up for border
01:07:31.620 security.
01:07:32.360 We've got nothing, nothing at all, obviously, from Democrats, but worse, nothing from Republicans.
01:07:37.260 Well, now here we sit and now Ukraine is going on.
01:07:40.200 And now the entire establishment in D.C. is all a Twitter that we've got to pass this
01:07:45.360 funding bill so that, one, we can pass a supplemental, basically war funding bill, even
01:07:51.460 though we're not, quote, at war to go send stuff to Ukraine.
01:07:54.960 And with no debate, by the way, and then pass a funding bill for the overall government.
01:08:01.240 Now, we're not just passing a CR.
01:08:03.180 We're passing an omnibus appropriations bill, okay, that packages everything together and
01:08:08.280 spends a crap ton of your money or borrowed money.
01:08:12.060 Yes, we got the bill last night at 1.30 in the morning.
01:08:15.600 It was emailed to us at 2.30, to be clear.
01:08:18.000 So we woke up early and some of my staff is getting in the middle of the night.
01:08:20.840 We're looking through it.
01:08:21.940 It's 2,700 pages long.
01:08:23.700 It's a $1.512 trillion annual spending level bill that is, the best I can tell, about an
01:08:32.340 $88 billion minimum plus up from last year's spending level, not counting Ukraine, Glenn.
01:08:39.060 That's just $88 billion of overall spending increases, both defense and non-defense.
01:08:43.660 I think it's more than that, but that's the bare minimum increase.
01:08:46.460 We're trying to figure it out.
01:08:47.400 That's at least a 6% increase, but I think the increase is closer to 8% to 10%, and we're
01:08:52.720 trying to figure that out.
01:08:53.380 And we don't know on what?
01:08:56.200 Well, right.
01:08:56.900 We're going through to figure out all the levels.
01:08:58.820 When do you have to vote on this?
01:09:01.320 We're going to vote on the rule.
01:09:02.480 We just made a motion to adjourn to shut the place down, which we will lose, but we're just
01:09:06.900 trying to buy time.
01:09:07.780 And then we will vote on the rule sometime this morning, and then vote on the bill in
01:09:11.580 a few hours.
01:09:13.420 Nobody's even read it.
01:09:15.320 No, it's 2,700 pages.
01:09:16.840 All the appropriators will tell you that all the appropriation staff and all of the appropriator
01:09:21.600 cardinals, they've all looked at it, Glenn.
01:09:24.100 Yeah.
01:09:24.360 Those handful of people will tell you how our country should be moving forward, not your
01:09:28.760 elected representative.
01:09:29.440 Okay.
01:09:29.820 Tell me what's in this.
01:09:32.340 Anything on oil and gas.
01:09:33.940 So there is not one thing, to the best of our knowledge, we're searching through it,
01:09:37.780 that will help American oil and gas improve.
01:09:40.760 All right.
01:09:41.140 Not one thing.
01:09:42.460 COVID.
01:09:43.640 COVID vaccine mandates.
01:09:45.720 Nothing in there to end the COVID vaccine mandates.
01:09:48.940 Now, pause.
01:09:49.840 We're hoping that Mike Lee will force a vote on an amendment in the Senate.
01:09:54.840 But remember last time he did that, Mike Lee and company, I'm sorry, Mitt Romney and company
01:09:59.460 walked out.
01:10:00.080 But right now, there is nothing in the bill in the House that we're voting on today, to
01:10:04.800 the best of my knowledge, that does anything for American oil and gas, that does anything
01:10:09.000 at all to end the vaccine mandates, and then nothing to truly secure the border of the United
01:10:14.700 States.
01:10:15.800 Now, what my Republican establishment colleagues will say is, oh, don't worry, Chip, we're going
01:10:20.960 to give more money to ICE and Border Patrol.
01:10:23.260 Well, Glenn, you know the truth.
01:10:25.580 You're a Texan.
01:10:26.820 You know what's going on at the border.
01:10:28.460 If we give more money to ICE and Border Patrol, they're going to process more people.
01:10:35.300 They're going to not prosecute bad actors.
01:10:37.680 They're not going to stop fentanyl.
01:10:39.400 They're not going to stop the cartels.
01:10:41.340 They're literally going to process more illegal aliens coming to the United States in the false
01:10:46.280 name of asylum.
01:10:47.900 There is $15.6 billion in supplemental for COVID.
01:10:54.260 What the hell does that mean?
01:10:56.260 We don't know.
01:10:57.400 Well, my staff's trying to figure out exactly what that means.
01:10:59.900 There's, like, slight good news is apparently that's offset out of previous COVID money.
01:11:04.640 But whoop-dee-doo, it's still another $15.6 billion that's being refocused and targeted
01:11:10.000 towards we don't know what.
01:11:11.640 But I can promise you the continuation of BS COVID forced policies, like the masks that
01:11:18.360 are still interfering with our kids, the vaccine mandates that are harming our folks, they'll
01:11:23.220 say it's for research and stuff, but Lord only knows.
01:11:25.940 But it's going to be $13.6 billion of Ukraine supplemental funding plus the $15.6 billion of
01:11:33.340 COVID supplemental funding on top of the 15-point, whatever the hell, I've lost the number, $1.2
01:11:39.700 trillion, I'm sorry, $1.512 trillion total package.
01:11:44.140 All right.
01:11:44.440 So let me ask you, when it comes to the Ukraine spending, what are we spending it on?
01:11:49.740 Well, again, peeling that back, there's, I believe, it is roughly two-thirds lethal aid,
01:11:57.720 I don't know for sure, where we're going to be funding additional, you know, stingers and
01:12:03.560 lethal aid to the Ukrainians.
01:12:07.380 And then there's X amount of it, I think the other third or so, is for humanitarian aid.
01:12:12.820 We'll know those numbers for sure here soon, reporting over it.
01:12:15.200 What stops us from passing just that separately?
01:12:20.420 Well, the politics of this town, right?
01:12:23.340 I mean, now, I haven't seen the actual votes called or whether we'll get a clean,
01:12:28.020 straight-up vote on it.
01:12:29.000 I don't believe we will.
01:12:30.180 I think it's going to be packaged with, I think we're going to have two votes,
01:12:34.240 one on the security portion, which includes defense appropriations,
01:12:38.680 homeland security, and I think this supplemental.
01:12:41.920 I'm not positive about that.
01:12:43.020 I'll find out for sure.
01:12:44.180 I'll tell you, I'll send it to your team.
01:12:46.520 And then a separate vote on the non-defense discretionary bill, I think.
01:12:51.940 But the bottom line is, they're doing this all today to jam it all through, I suspect,
01:12:57.280 all together, because they want that to be the case, right?
01:13:00.360 They don't want to be able to have a separate debate.
01:13:02.640 We should be debating our Ukraine funding, right?
01:13:06.780 You and I are both horrified, I don't want to speak for you,
01:13:09.460 but horrified by what Putin is doing.
01:13:11.800 I gave a speech last night on the floor of the House about what he's doing to orphans
01:13:15.440 and children and families and separating families and blowing up bridges and blowing up schools
01:13:19.260 and apartments and harming people.
01:13:21.100 He's a thug, a KGB dictator who's killed people.
01:13:24.720 But I want to know what we're spending this money on, and are we at war or not?
01:13:29.240 I want to know what we're going to get out of this.
01:13:31.520 I want to know when we're spending this money, where's it coming from?
01:13:35.100 This is an offset.
01:13:36.300 This is another $13.6 billion.
01:13:38.880 We didn't debate it, Glenn.
01:13:41.640 Not one debate on the floor of the House.
01:13:43.600 Not one.
01:13:44.680 A handful of speeches in a quiet chamber.
01:13:47.280 Meanwhile, a handful of people in smoke-filled rooms upstairs.
01:13:50.960 Well, not smoke-filled anymore, because that's not politically correct.
01:13:54.200 But upstairs in a dark room, making decisions for all of America.
01:13:58.980 So, Chip, how many Republicans are willing to stand?
01:14:03.240 I mean, now is the time to take a stand and to show America who you really are.
01:14:13.020 And I'll bet you the vast majority are like, we've got to do it for the Ukrainian people.
01:14:18.240 So, I'm not sure yet.
01:14:22.380 I'm going to be blasting the hell out of it all day.
01:14:25.060 I know that my Freedom Caucus colleagues largely oppose it.
01:14:29.200 I don't know what the numbers are ultimately going to be.
01:14:31.400 Right now, I'm going to just give you a target line of 50-50 in the House Republican conference.
01:14:37.880 But I'm not sure.
01:14:39.160 I think people are kind of watching this unfold.
01:14:41.200 They're peeling the bill back.
01:14:42.720 Not one Republican should vote for this bill.
01:14:45.000 Not one.
01:14:45.340 Unfortunately, a large number will.
01:14:48.060 And they will do so falsely in the name of going out and helping the Ukrainians.
01:14:52.660 When, in fact, they're using that as a beard to continue to grow and develop government.
01:14:57.640 And they always have excuses as to why that's okay.
01:15:00.820 We have to do that, Glenn.
01:15:02.040 You don't understand.
01:15:03.240 We have to do that, Chip.
01:15:04.380 We know what's important here.
01:15:06.100 Look, we don't have the majority.
01:15:07.540 When you give us power, then we'll have puppy dogs and rainbows.
01:15:11.740 And we'll be the fiscal conservatives that you guys have been asking for.
01:15:14.640 No, you won't.
01:15:15.160 Show me right now that you are.
01:15:16.980 I would recommend that everyone calls their congressmen and their senators today, right now, and say,
01:15:26.800 I have a very long memory.
01:15:30.940 This omnibus spending bill that you have to pass.
01:15:35.420 I would rather have the government shut down than pass something that none of you have even read.
01:15:44.240 You haven't even read it.
01:15:47.020 No.
01:15:48.420 No more crazy spending like this in the middle of the night.
01:15:53.020 And tell them, you can debate the Ukrainian money.
01:16:01.520 Go ahead.
01:16:02.400 Everything that's going, you have a debate on it.
01:16:05.460 And you could pass that today.
01:16:07.920 You could pass that tomorrow.
01:16:09.780 But that does not.
01:16:11.580 I'm not that stupid.
01:16:13.500 I'm not this stupid.
01:16:14.660 I know what's happening.
01:16:17.280 And I will remember you.
01:16:19.500 I'm I'm voting.
01:16:20.840 I vote for people like you.
01:16:23.120 And I'm going to campaign for people like you.
01:16:26.140 But if you don't stand right now, when it's pretty easy, because you're not going to you're not even get your vote won't matter.
01:16:35.460 If you won't do it now, you certainly won't do it when you have power.
01:16:39.860 And if you won't do it now, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that I work for your competition.
01:16:47.120 I work for the candidate running against you.
01:16:50.440 And if nobody's running against you, I might run against you because we need some courage right now.
01:16:55.660 You call your senator and your House member and you tell them that right now.
01:17:00.460 It's the omnibus bill.
01:17:01.900 They're going to pass it in the House today.
01:17:05.440 So you've got to call them right now and then it'll head over to the Senate.
01:17:09.000 And by the way, make sure you call the the weasels, the Romneys in the Senate who will not stand up against this, won't stand up by any stretch of the imagination,
01:17:23.880 and won't support Mike Lee.
01:17:26.780 Good God, the guy won't even support Mike Lee in an endorsement because his good friend is Egg McMuffin or whatever his name is.
01:17:35.980 And it's I mean, the guy is weak and pathetic.
01:17:40.440 Make sure you call those senators in your congressman now.
01:17:43.640 So, Chip, do I have it covered?
01:17:45.160 Is there anything else that people can do?
01:17:47.800 Hey, man, you got it.
01:17:48.500 You got it covered.
01:17:49.160 This is exactly right.
01:17:49.960 Everybody out there listening.
01:17:51.080 Glenn is exactly right.
01:17:52.240 You need to light everybody up.
01:17:53.620 Do not let your Republican leadership, your Republican representatives who claim fiscal conservative, who claim to fight for you, get away with this crap.
01:18:01.920 This is crap.
01:18:03.080 You need to call them out on it.
01:18:04.540 Light the phones up and let them know this is unacceptable.
01:18:06.820 Yeah.
01:18:07.080 And do the phone.
01:18:08.040 Please don't don't email them.
01:18:09.820 They can dismiss emails, but the phones make a difference.
01:18:12.220 Thank you so much, Chip.
01:18:13.180 I appreciate it.
01:18:14.100 God bless.
01:18:14.800 You bet.
01:18:15.600 To our representative, Chip Roy.
01:18:17.340 By the way, just one point five billion dollars, another one point five billion dollars at a time where our inflation is out of control.
01:18:30.160 No, no, no.
01:18:35.180 These Republicans make me sick.
01:18:37.700 You know, this country should be run by the Freedom Caucus.
01:18:41.740 But what do I know?
01:18:44.380 I do know a couple of things about bad sleep.
01:18:46.520 I'll tell you that.
01:18:47.420 Mike Lindell introduced me to his MyPillow products.
01:18:51.480 I was I'm never a good sleeper.
01:18:53.840 I can't.
01:18:54.180 My wife will come in and I'll say, honey, I'm just going to get into bed.
01:18:57.400 OK, I'll be there in a second.
01:18:59.420 I am out.
01:19:00.400 I don't ever see her come to bed anymore because.
01:19:04.520 Maybe she is.
01:19:05.680 No, I never see her because I'm asleep all the time.
01:19:11.320 It is the greatest thing.
01:19:13.460 Your pillow goes flat as a pancake.
01:19:15.740 Your sheets that either cost you an arm and a leg or you're sleeping underneath sandpaper.
01:19:20.360 You don't have to sleep like that anymore.

01:19:59.080 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:00.540 So, you know, this is really a tough situation that we're all in with Vladimir Putin and Ukraine because we all want it to stop.
01:20:26.640 We all think that Putin is a monster.
01:20:28.680 We all would like sanctions.
01:20:30.540 But it's the way it's happening.
01:20:32.720 First of all, the oil sanctions.
01:20:34.160 We should not be crippling ourself.
01:20:37.100 So it's a race to the finish line when we don't have to.
01:20:40.600 You know, we don't have to make this sacrifice of our economy.
01:20:45.820 All you have to do is just open up the pumping.
01:20:48.340 The other is all of these companies.
01:20:51.320 McDonald's isn't saying I we're closing down all of our restaurants in Russia because of reputational risk.
01:20:58.860 Reputational risk.
01:20:59.760 What?
01:20:59.980 There were so many people that were really mad at you that they were saying, I'm never going to buy a McDonald's burger again unless you do this.
01:21:05.920 No, not a lot of people actually do.
01:21:07.420 The reputational risk is not from the public.
01:21:10.680 It is from the insurance companies and the banks and everyone else being cut out because you're not on the right side of things.
01:21:18.080 You know, I was they were showing some of the McDonald's that were set to close down the next day and there were lines of Russians, you know, going like a mile because they wanted to get their last McDonald's purchase in before they closed down.
01:21:31.060 And I thought to myself, we have a lot of cultural differences, but I felt almost Russian in that moment.
01:21:35.940 That would be me.
01:21:39.020 If I was Russian, I'd be like, first of all, I'd be thinking Vladimir Putin's an idiot, just like I think our president here is an idiot.
01:21:44.600 And then I'd be in a line at McDonald's trying to buy everything that they had before they closed.
01:21:49.660 So the problem with this is, is not that this is bad to do to Russia.
01:21:55.540 It is.
01:21:56.740 This is the system of the Great Reset.
01:22:00.480 And this system is what they have in China and what they have now.
01:22:06.680 Putin is building in Russia.
01:22:09.160 And if you don't think that this is going to be used on you, look at Canada.
01:22:14.820 Look at what they're saying about anybody who was saying anything about COVID.
01:22:21.140 You were a terrorist.
01:22:22.460 You don't think it's going to be used.
01:22:24.580 The Justice Department was investigating terrorism.
01:22:28.720 Well, how hard is that compared to just having banks say, you know what?
01:22:34.660 I saw what you're doing at the school board and you're a reputational risk to us.
01:22:39.820 And we just can't take your account here anymore.
01:22:42.880 Or that's the real danger.
01:22:45.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:47.420 I'm going to tell you about Grip6.

01:24:58.060 I'm sorry, 60 seconds.
01:24:59.280 I could give them 10 seconds, but they would be very upset with me.

01:25:05.460 Most parents are concerned about, you know, what your kids' heads are being filled with.
01:25:11.500 Have you seen TikTok?
01:25:13.420 Yeah.
01:25:14.840 If it were just that, maybe.
01:25:17.640 Maybe.
01:25:19.100 Unfortunately, it's not that.
01:25:20.520 It's everything.
01:25:21.960 And bad information intentionally is coming from our public schools right now.
01:25:28.220 The best way to fight bad information is by embracing good information.
01:25:33.360 We can't tolerate.
01:25:34.940 We have to put good information out.
01:25:38.800 Your kids are not going to educate themselves, and they're not going to hear this anywhere else
01:25:43.100 if it's not coming from you in the home.
01:25:46.140 Tuttle Twins.
01:25:47.380 This is why we love the Tuttle Twins books.
01:25:50.720 My staff loves them.
01:25:51.860 I love them.
01:25:52.500 They teach amazing lessons about how our country was founded, why it was founded, the guiding principles,
01:25:59.200 the free market system, and the necessity of small government.
01:26:03.820 I cannot recommend these books any higher than I already have.
01:26:07.400 I believe they should be in every American's home.

01:26:28.320 All right.
01:26:29.000 I want to tell you a story that I know you know, but it is important that we really reflect on it.
01:26:34.960 It was January 6th.
01:26:41.560 January 6th, Matthew Perna entered through an open door in the U.S. Capitol.
01:26:48.960 The door was open.
01:26:50.860 He walked through the Senate wing lobby, chanting USA, USA.
01:26:55.960 He left 20 minutes later.
01:26:58.160 He recorded all of it on his phone.
01:27:00.000 After returning to his home in western Pennsylvania, he sat down and started watching TV,
01:27:07.260 and he saw a bulletin with his face on it.
01:27:11.240 Matthew did the right thing.
01:27:12.620 He called to turn himself in.
01:27:14.220 He called the FBI without knowing that people he knew had already done that for him.
01:27:21.220 In December, he pleaded guilty to charges of obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting,
01:27:31.660 entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds,
01:27:37.880 disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds,
01:27:42.300 and disorderly conduct in the Capitol building.
01:27:45.280 They are all misdemeanors except for federal obstruction, which holds a penalty of up to 20 years.
01:27:54.240 Matthew's sentencing was scheduled for a couple of weeks from now, April 1st.
01:28:01.360 Now, he may have faced a fair trial in court.
01:28:05.220 The Court of Public Opinion and the Biden administration, mainstream media, had already ruled against him.
01:28:10.240 He was a traitor.
01:28:11.440 He was a terrorist.
01:28:12.440 He was worthy of being turned in by his own friends.
01:28:16.160 He was publicly ridiculed by major voices as a threat to democracy.
01:28:23.460 You know how this ends for Matthew.
01:28:27.060 He won't be present for his sentencing because he took his own life on February 25th.
01:28:33.540 After his death, his lawyer said,
01:28:35.440 The government had recently announced an intention to seek an additional sentencing enhancement with Mr. Perna.
01:28:44.200 He was psychologically frail and not able to deal with the stress of the situation.
01:28:49.160 He hung himself.
01:28:51.620 In his obituary, his family wrote,
01:28:54.280 Matthew Lawrence Perna died on February 25th, 2022, of a broken heart.
01:28:59.160 His community, which he loved, his country, and the justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life.
01:29:08.180 The constant delays in hearings, the postponements dragged out for over a year.
01:29:15.100 Because of this, Matt's heart broke and his spirit died.
01:29:18.340 No one can really understand or know the mind of a suicide victim.
01:29:31.100 It's an act of insanity.
01:29:33.240 You just want everything to stop.
01:29:35.340 And you've convinced yourself things would be better for your family and everybody you love if you were gone.
01:29:40.440 If we take his family at their word, Matthew lost so much faith in America and our justice system that suicide seemed a more reasonable thing than going to court.
01:30:01.500 The story of his broken faith hit Americans hard when they heard it.
01:30:10.440 But it sends an ominous message about the state of our union.
01:30:16.780 We now no longer trust our own nation to deal justly with us.
01:30:24.860 Violent criminals released without bail.
01:30:27.300 I just saw a sentence for a guy who just completely beat almost to death this elderly man.
01:30:42.640 He's got an ankle bracelet.
01:30:44.580 He's back out.
01:30:47.940 Illegal immigrants bust across the country in the middle of the night.
01:30:51.720 And yet there is a collective silence for the rights of the January 6th defendants.
01:30:57.300 We hesitate as people to stand up for the January 6th defendants because we don't know exactly what they were charged with.
01:31:10.840 We don't know who they are, which is weird, isn't it?
01:31:13.920 People notice the double standard.
01:31:21.020 They feel it.
01:31:23.020 And we can't ignore those fears.
01:31:24.960 If the goal of our justice department is to break the spirit of our political prisoners, then they succeeded in the case of Matthew Perna.
01:31:36.540 But if the goal is, as their mission states, to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, then we've got a lot of work to do.
01:31:47.280 For the guilty and for the innocent, we need real justice.
01:31:53.920 But what we're getting now is social justice, and it will turn.
01:31:57.320 If you're for social justice, it will turn on you in your lifetime.
01:32:02.500 Let's see how you feel about it then.
01:32:03.900 We need real justice, but if it doesn't come or doesn't come quickly enough, we need to keep our heads up.
01:32:12.760 We need to be there for one another and ourselves.
01:32:15.080 We have to keep the faith.
01:32:17.540 You have to know that you can make things better and that your voice, your life matters.
01:32:26.660 Nelson Mandela was a political prisoner, and he was a bad guy.
01:32:31.600 He was a communist.
01:32:33.300 He was engaged in violent activity.
01:32:37.740 But look at the difference he made.
01:32:40.060 Look at the difference he made in the end.
01:32:45.840 James Comey came out with an op-ed.
01:32:49.280 It was published in the Washington Post this week, and it was directed right to the FBI agents.
01:32:57.440 And he said, we're a nation of laws, and the FBI is an organization dedicated to the rule of law.
01:33:04.800 You have to support and defend the Constitution.
01:33:10.140 We've always had divisive politics in the United States.
01:33:14.240 But despite all the division, passion, and anger, we've never had something like January 6th.
01:33:19.080 I'm so tired of hearing that.
01:33:20.900 It is such a lie.
01:33:23.080 Such a lie.
01:33:24.220 In fact, why don't I play the New York Times reporter caught by Project Veritas telling the truth.
01:33:34.440 A guy who wrote about how scary it was, how difficult, how horrible it was.
01:33:40.380 Here he is talking to an undercover reporter from Project Veritas.
01:33:46.260 Listen to this.
01:33:46.760 It's like January 6th stuff that is like, I'm so over at this point.
01:33:51.240 It's so over.
01:33:52.160 I'm so over.
01:33:52.660 The less overreaction, the less reaction to it in some places, we're so over the top.
01:33:56.940 It was like me and two other colleagues who were there, who were outside.
01:33:59.500 And we were just like, dude, come on.
01:34:01.540 Like, we were not in any danger.
01:34:03.920 Like, you can tell how much fun we had in January 6th.
01:34:06.780 Oh, that's great.
01:34:08.140 Are you allowed to have that much fun on January 6th?
01:34:10.220 Are you supposed to be mourning?
01:34:11.160 I know, I know.
01:34:12.320 So if you're traumatized, but like, all these colleagues who are in the building,
01:34:17.520 a little younger, who's like, oh my God, he's so scary.
01:34:20.160 I'm like, oh, f*** off.
01:34:21.720 Is that really the vibe?
01:34:23.720 From them.
01:34:24.520 I'm like, come on.
01:34:26.820 It's not the kind of place I can tell someone to man up, but I kind of want to.
01:34:30.120 You're like, dude, come on.
01:34:31.340 Like, you were not in any danger.
01:34:33.740 I'm going to stop it there because, uh,
01:34:40.940 you can find this online and I urge you to watch it.
01:34:43.480 But this is a New York Times reporter that was reporting how dangerous this was.
01:34:47.800 There's never been anything like January 6th, yada, yada.
01:34:50.420 But when he is talking to some young girl who's just asking about, wow, you were there.
01:34:55.760 He was like, it was no big deal.
01:34:57.260 We were fine.
01:34:58.500 They're all overreacting.
01:35:00.140 No one was ever in any danger.
01:35:03.700 Okay.
01:35:04.140 So what's the truth on that?
01:35:06.120 What's the truth?
01:35:07.420 Well, Comey says that we are a nation of laws and we have to charge people, uh, with crimes.
01:35:16.500 We have to, and we can't decide which laws to, uh, uphold and which not Americans decided
01:35:25.880 it was okay to physically interfere with the election procedures set out in our constitution
01:35:29.840 and laws and it can't happen again.
01:35:32.380 And he says, even if, even if you disagree, you have to enforce this law.
01:35:39.780 January 6th can't happen again, whatever their politics, it can't happen again.
01:35:44.900 Now, listen, he goes on to say, normally, when you make a criminal case, you're thinking
01:35:49.160 about personal deterrence or incapacitation to the main goals of criminal prosecution.
01:35:55.040 That is, you're making a case to keep the bad guy from hurting someone else.
01:35:59.780 But there are January 6th cases like that.
01:36:02.500 And I suspect all agents agree that anyone who hit a cop or ransacked a room or conspired
01:36:07.780 to violent sedition must be locked up.
01:36:10.360 But January 6th investigation is mostly about something you might not like to think much
01:36:14.700 about in your normal caseload.
01:36:16.780 General deterrence.
01:36:18.080 It's about sending a message, a shockwave of deterrence.
01:36:22.320 So future Americans, whether misled by a lying demagogue or rightfully concerned about the
01:36:27.300 loss of their rights, never again assault the institutions of government.
01:36:32.520 Now, that is not, that, that's not, uh, that's not blind justice.
01:36:36.860 That is not blind justice.
01:36:39.920 I don't even know if that's legal.
01:36:41.820 Do you hear about the Whitmer case, the kidnapping defendants?
01:36:55.140 Gretchen Whitmer, apparently these guys were going to kidnap her and then I guess kill her
01:37:02.320 or whatever.
01:37:04.100 Um, I thought this was really pretty serious until I found out that there were like 12 FBI
01:37:10.580 agents there, by the way, the guy from the New York times said FBI agents, undercover FBI
01:37:16.040 agents were everywhere.
01:37:18.520 I don't know who to believe, what to trust.
01:37:21.060 I know thou that they have all signed a plea deal.
01:37:26.620 They've all signed a plea deal, the Whitmer case, and they all have in their plea deal that
01:37:33.780 they testify that there was no FBI interference, that they were not influenced by the FBI.
01:37:42.660 That's a really interesting thing.
01:37:48.660 Kind of makes me wonder again about Matthew.
01:37:51.320 I mean, you know, here he was.
01:37:52.900 Here he was, he, he was ready to pay a price.
01:38:00.140 And then they said, you know, there's a heavier price to pay.
01:38:04.880 And he couldn't face that.
01:38:07.180 I mean, I guess we all have our breaking point.
01:38:14.520 Don't let anyone break your spirit.
01:38:16.420 Focus on restoration.
01:38:21.480 We're not about burning things down.
01:38:23.240 We're about restoring our nation's institution to their proper working order.
01:38:27.460 We don't need a great reset.
01:38:29.160 We need to unplug it and plug it back in.
01:38:33.600 We need to set it back to its factory settings.
01:38:37.300 The software is all screwed up.
01:38:38.720 It's all corrupted.
01:38:40.520 So what do you do when your computer, you turn it off and turn it back on again and restore
01:38:45.620 the factory settings.
01:38:48.160 That's what has to happen.
01:38:50.800 Our system is good and has taken many years and many men and endless amounts of effort and
01:38:58.340 money and, and blood.
01:39:02.520 And we have become wholly disillusioned, disheartened, distrustful.
01:39:09.140 And when we do that, those who hate America get exactly what they want.
01:39:13.340 We love this country and want it restored to factory settings.
01:39:18.280 Did you see that poll that came out yesterday that 60, I think it was 67% of Democrats.
01:39:24.120 If somebody came and invited our country, they would run.
01:39:27.640 They wouldn't stick around.
01:39:29.680 Says so much.
01:39:31.080 Says everything.
01:39:32.120 There's nothing worthwhile.
01:39:34.220 We are no, you can go to Canada and no big deal.
01:39:36.860 That says everything.
01:39:41.020 67%.
01:39:41.500 That should tell you something also about war in general.
01:39:45.500 We are not the World War II generation.
01:39:49.060 That is that I've never seen a number like that in America that we would turn tail and
01:39:54.900 run.
01:39:55.540 And the number between of young males who would actually need to be fighting a war like this
01:40:01.380 was terrible.
01:40:02.160 I mean, it was, it's not even just party, it's, it's youth as well.
01:40:07.560 And it's great that a bunch of 80 year olds want to go out and fight the war.
01:40:10.540 We love that.
01:40:11.480 We thank them for that.
01:40:12.560 Correct.
01:40:12.940 But man, the people who actually need to be fighting it don't have any interest in it.
01:40:17.600 And how are you going to fight?
01:40:19.800 I mean, will you just cave?
01:40:21.700 Will we just cave?
01:40:22.620 Because there's another battle that's coming and it's, it's a battle of ESG.
01:40:27.260 It's a battle of being on the wrong side.
01:40:29.340 You notice no BLM people went to jail, nothing serious, right?
01:40:35.220 But if you were against the left, if you were a conservative, if you were for Trump, you
01:40:44.160 now, you've just been disappeared and they're trying to break your spirit.
01:40:51.120 Are you strong enough to do that?
01:40:53.080 Are you strong enough to be a pariah?
01:40:54.860 See, fear is all they have.
01:40:58.540 When you stop fearing them, you got them.
01:41:02.820 You got them.
01:41:05.460 More in just a second.
01:41:07.940 Let me tell you about Goldline.
01:41:10.660 Goldline is $2,050 an ounce.
01:41:14.680 Yeah.
01:41:15.220 It's funny.
01:41:15.820 You've been doing Goldline.
01:41:17.060 We've been talking about Goldline for how long?
01:41:18.460 I mean, as long as I can remember.
01:41:20.060 15 years, 20 years.
01:41:20.500 Yeah.
01:41:21.200 Seemingly the entire time we've been doing this show.
01:41:23.060 And I remember you saying like, if Gold ever gets to $2,000 an ounce, then you know the
01:41:28.700 world is insane.
01:41:30.240 And first of all, it seems like that kind of played out.
01:41:33.160 We're at $2,000 and it is insane.
01:41:35.160 But with all the inflation, you maybe even need to up that number now at this point.
01:41:39.680 Oh, you know, there's a which bank was it just came out yesterday, I think, with a new they've
01:41:47.820 revised their gold standings.
01:41:49.840 They say $2,500 to $2,800 an ounce.
01:41:54.120 They're saying now by the end of the year.
01:41:56.680 I don't know if that happens and we don't want that to happen.
01:41:59.600 That's really, really, really bad.
01:42:02.000 But, you know, you return to things in the end, the world will return to the things they
01:42:08.680 know are true.
01:42:10.400 And gold and silver have intrinsic value, period.
01:42:16.120 866 Goldline.
01:42:17.440 I just read a story about, I have to do it tomorrow, on how China is now working on a currency all
01:42:25.580 based on gold.
01:42:26.760 Gold and they've got a lot of it.
01:42:30.000 And they think that they can get the rest of the world to turn against us and go on theirs
01:42:34.560 because it's backed in gold.
01:42:36.780 866 Goldline.
01:42:37.800 866 Goldline or goldline.com.
01:42:40.080 Get some for yourself.
01:42:41.660 Base your life on something real.
01:42:44.620 866 Goldline.
01:42:46.700 Call them now.
01:42:47.440 Get the Glenn Beck specific promotion on orders for physical delivery right to your door.
01:42:51.900 and ask them, find out about their self-directed IRA specials this week.
01:42:56.920 866 Goldline.
01:42:58.840 10 seconds station ID.
01:43:12.640 So tomorrow I'm going to spend some time on an exit ramp.
01:43:17.540 If you kind of feel like, wow, we're not winning and who has a plan?
01:43:27.160 There's a clear plan.
01:43:28.560 There's a clear way out, but it requires, you know how they always say, it's not a diet.
01:43:35.920 It's a lifestyle change.
01:43:37.480 Yeah.
01:43:37.960 That's the reason why I can't lose weight because I just don't want to change my lifestyle.
01:43:44.160 You know what I mean?
01:43:45.660 And when you do, you usually feel better.
01:43:47.780 But the solution here is not something you apply, something that you do, you know, while you're out,
01:43:56.920 you know, while you're speaking about politics.
01:43:59.000 It is a entire lifestyle change.
01:44:02.940 And I'll tell you about that on tomorrow's program.
01:44:05.900 The reason why I can't do it now is because we have Leslie Gordon on.
01:44:11.860 She is a former special agent for the Department of Defense.
01:44:15.820 She's an attorney.
01:44:17.460 And she doesn't understand.
01:44:21.020 She doesn't understand why the DOJ is rushing to obtain indictment for January 6th defendant.
01:44:28.660 Um, there's a, uh, illegal detention claim.
01:44:34.300 Somebody else has just disappeared.
01:44:36.800 Not, you know, what's happening.
01:44:39.920 Uh, don't I have a right to a speedy trial?
01:44:41.940 It's been over a year.
01:44:43.780 Where's my trial?
01:44:44.800 What's happening?
01:44:45.960 You can't detain me like this.
01:44:48.420 Now the DOJ is trying to sweep that under the rug.
01:44:52.140 Um, his attorney, he and, uh, everyone else around him cannot speak, uh, to the press.
01:45:00.620 Uh, it wouldn't go well, I guess.
01:45:03.400 So we found somebody that could speak.
01:45:06.000 Somebody who has written about what's happening to these January 6th guys.
01:45:09.880 We have to care about the process, even for people that may be guilty.
01:45:16.780 You are innocent until proven guilty and you can't just be disappeared.
01:45:22.140 The Glenn Beck program.
01:45:25.860 Okay.
01:45:26.420 I want to talk to you about, uh, keeping your heart really, really soft.
01:45:29.820 We have got to see, um, we have to see Christ in the face of everybody.
01:45:36.140 We have to see it in the suffering, even the people that we don't like or don't know.
01:45:41.260 We have to see Christ in all suffering.
01:45:45.420 After 9-11, there were 3000 people killed and, um, the tunnel to towers foundation was put
01:45:53.820 together and it was put together by a group of people who were like, we have got to take
01:45:57.180 care of these families.
01:45:58.580 Uh, and we have to take care of the families of the firefighters and the police officers
01:46:02.160 who gave their life on 9-11.
01:46:03.860 It's, it was a mess.
01:46:06.160 Well, they not only have done that, they have continued on and they are doing it with all
01:46:10.980 the soldiers and now the police officers that lose their life in the line of duty.
01:46:14.780 Now, you know, when, when somebody dies and you're a police officer, you're a soldier,
01:46:20.360 you have a mortgage.
01:46:21.800 Where, where is that money coming from?
01:46:23.660 How are you going to do that?
01:46:25.420 Well, tunnel to towers does it for them.
01:46:28.100 They help these veterans, they help the police officers and anyone who has died for our country
01:46:33.700 or community, and they need your help.

01:46:55.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:46:57.180 I want to preface this conversation with, I am not, um, supporting or against, uh, this
01:47:08.100 particular, um, uh, prisoner.
01:47:12.400 Uh, I don't know.
01:47:13.680 He's charged with some awful things and he may be guilty of all of them.
01:47:17.640 I don't know, but I do know this.
01:47:20.740 We have a system where you have to try people.
01:47:24.680 You have a speedy trial.
01:47:26.440 You have to indict people, et cetera, et cetera.
01:47:28.980 You cannot let them languish in jail.
01:47:32.380 That is against our constitution.
01:47:35.400 So I, I wanted to talk to somebody who has been in the courtroom, former special agent
01:47:40.340 for the department of defense.
01:47:42.020 Um, Leslie, uh, Mick, Mick, a do a Gordon.
01:47:46.500 Uh, and Leslie, I've been, I read your tweets about what happened in the courtroom.
01:47:52.460 And I have to tell you, I, I don't think any other, uh, any other trial would end this
01:47:58.980 way.
01:47:59.200 Would it?
01:48:02.420 Well, Glenn, thank you for inviting me to talk about it today.
01:48:05.260 Um, and let me say that what happened this week in the courthouse is not a trial.
01:48:09.920 Well, yeah, I know it's a hearing very far from a trial.
01:48:13.580 Yes.
01:48:13.960 Right.
01:48:15.060 Yeah.
01:48:15.300 So he was arrested last year in December.
01:48:20.060 And what happened this week was a status conference in front of the DC judge.
01:48:25.440 The first time he's been seen by a judge in DC at all.
01:48:29.660 And we're into March here.
01:48:31.120 So you're correct.
01:48:31.900 This is not how the process is supposed to work.
01:48:34.140 So tell me how it's supposed to work.
01:48:35.860 You, you are arrested and then you have certain number of days before you have to be, uh,
01:48:41.540 charged or released, right?
01:48:45.460 Yes.
01:48:45.920 In a general sense, that's right.
01:48:47.340 Okay.
01:48:47.620 And then you have to be able to see a judge.
01:48:51.280 Right.
01:48:51.780 Oh, absolutely.
01:48:52.360 So there are a bunch of, uh, procedural steps that the government has to follow.
01:48:57.120 Right.
01:48:57.440 So, and let me say that I'm a lawyer also, I've been a criminal defense lawyer in this
01:49:02.640 courthouse in DC for 25 years.
01:49:05.420 So, um, Maryland and Virginia also, but, um, the way it's supposed to work is if the federal
01:49:11.700 government arrests you, they have to take you without unnecessary delay to appear in
01:49:17.400 front of the judge.
01:49:18.700 That's because the constitution requires that it's also in the rules of the court, but it's
01:49:24.060 primarily a constitutional function because the point is we don't put people in jail and
01:49:28.100 then forget about them.
01:49:29.020 Correct.
01:49:29.980 At least we're not supposed to.
01:49:31.840 So now that happened in this defendant's case.
01:49:34.860 His last name is Denny.
01:49:36.340 Mr. Denny was taken promptly the same day that he was arrested.
01:49:40.440 He was processed by the marshals and he was taken the next day to appear in front of a federal
01:49:45.860 magistrate in Texas where he lived.
01:49:48.240 Okay.
01:49:48.440 So far, so good.
01:49:49.700 All right.
01:49:50.280 Right.
01:49:50.620 And then the magistrate there, um, set a hearing for three days later, which is within the normal
01:49:57.260 rules because, you know, he, the guy shows up, the judge determines, all right, you are
01:50:01.880 who the government wants to arrest.
01:50:04.140 We're not holding you illegally so far.
01:50:06.760 And I'm going to set a detention hearing and a removal hearing.
01:50:10.540 Now the detention hearing is to determine whether or not Mr. Denny should be let out at
01:50:14.300 all pending this trial.
01:50:15.900 The removal hearing is to determine whether he should be shipped from Texas to DC where
01:50:22.100 the trial is going to be because he's charged with offenses from the January 6th event.
01:50:27.000 So he's not going to get tried in Texas.
01:50:28.640 He's going to get tried here in DC.
01:50:31.620 Um, so, so far so good.
01:50:33.720 They can hold him for those few days while the judge sorts it out.
01:50:36.340 He got assigned a public defender.
01:50:37.880 You know, that lawyer needs time to ascertain what's going on.
01:50:40.540 So three days, no problem.
01:50:42.700 So he's seen by the judge on December 17th for a hearing and the Texas magistrate, who's
01:50:48.380 a federal officer, judicial officer, finds that he's going to detain Mr. Denny and he's
01:50:54.420 going to approve the government's request to transfer him from Texas to DC for his trial.
01:51:00.400 But in addition to that, the rules of the court require that Mr. Denny have a preliminary
01:51:05.120 hearing.
01:51:05.720 The purpose of that is to determine that there's at least probable cause for the charges that
01:51:12.080 the government has charged him with.
01:51:13.820 And that hearing has to take place within 14 days of the first day that a judge saw you.
01:51:20.460 But that can change if you are been moved from another state that can, you can add another
01:51:26.020 like 10 days or something.
01:51:27.320 No, no, no, it's not supposed to.
01:51:29.700 That's the point.
01:51:30.480 There's two problems with this case.
01:51:32.100 One of them has been overtaken by events, but the other, the Speedy Trial Act problem
01:51:36.540 that you're talking about, that that is, there's still a live problem there.
01:51:40.460 So for the preliminary hearing, which is the judge takes a quick look, there has to be
01:51:45.040 testimony, there has to be evidence.
01:51:46.520 The judge says, yeah, there's probable cause that you committed a crime, so we're going
01:51:49.980 to put you on trial.
01:51:50.880 But that's only good for 14 days.
01:51:53.540 Because in addition to that preliminary hearing, the federal government, it's different in
01:51:58.460 the states, it's different everywhere in the states, but the federal government has
01:52:01.780 to indict you, which means a grand jury, you know, a group of citizens, a group of citizens,
01:52:07.460 not the judge, has to decide that there's probable cause that you committed an offense to charge
01:52:13.160 you with and put you on trial.
01:52:14.800 And that, according to the rule, must happen within 30 days.
01:52:19.640 And in fact, that's not a rule.
01:52:21.000 That's a statute passed by the Congress, the Speedy Trial Act.
01:52:24.800 So you have two Speedy Trial rights.
01:52:26.460 One is in the Constitution.
01:52:27.920 The other is in a statute, a federal statute.
01:52:30.440 And it's binding, of course, on all the federal judges.
01:52:32.880 And it says, you must be indicted within 30 days of your arrest.
01:52:38.140 If you are not indicted within 30 days of your arrest, then the indictment must be dismissed,
01:52:43.680 or actually, it would be the complaint.
01:52:47.160 So there's different ways that the federal government can charge you with a crime.
01:52:51.640 An indictment is issued by the grand jury.
01:52:53.360 A complaint is just a sworn affidavit by a law enforcement officer, and the judge issues a warrant on it.
01:52:59.400 So that's what happened to Mr. Denny.
01:53:00.820 They issued a complaint, a warrant issued from the judge, and he was arrested.
01:53:05.680 Okay.
01:53:06.380 But he still has to be indicted.
01:53:07.900 You have a right to be indicted.
01:53:09.200 And I know that seems strange to people.
01:53:11.080 You have a right to be indicted.
01:53:12.040 But it's a protection that the Founding Fathers put in so that it's not just government officers saying there's probable cause that you committed a crime.
01:53:20.800 Correct.
01:53:21.220 It's your community, the constituency of the citizenry, agrees that there's probable cause.
01:53:26.500 Okay.
01:53:26.780 So that did not happen.
01:53:28.940 Instead, what happened was the judge in Texas, for reasons that are unclear, believed that he could transfer Mr. Denny from Texas to D.C. for the preliminary hearing.
01:53:41.060 That alone was wrong.
01:53:42.780 The rule required the judge in Texas to hold the preliminary hearing, and for good reason, because you would think it wouldn't take that long to ship someone from Texas to Washington, but in the criminal system, you'd be wrong about that.
01:53:56.880 So it took them 46 days to send him from Texas to D.C.
01:54:02.140 Oh, my gosh.
01:54:04.000 Yeah.
01:54:04.220 So what you're talking about, the 10-day rule, is the federal statute says, yes, you have to be indicted within 30 days, but we're going to add 10 days.
01:54:14.560 10 days is reasonable to add if you have to go from one district to another.
01:54:19.700 So effectively, that makes it 40 days.
01:54:22.140 But, you know, they blew by that here, too, because Mr. Denny was indicted on the 84th day, 84, 84th day after he was arrested.
01:54:34.300 So even allowing the government 10 days to transport him would have been 40 days, but they more than doubled that before they indicted him.
01:54:41.760 So, Leslie, I just want to make it clear from just the charges, if he did these things, he's not a he's not a guy that, you know, I want out on the streets and probably deserves things.
01:54:56.260 But we must stay by the Constitution.
01:54:59.780 So I'm not necessarily fighting for him because I don't know if he's guilty or innocent, but the charges look pretty bad.
01:55:06.620 But I in a case like this, at least, you know, in old episodes of Matlock and murder, she wrote, if you if you weren't read your Miranda rights, you were the judge was always like, I'm sorry.
01:55:23.300 You got to let him go.
01:55:25.540 Well, doesn't that apply here?
01:55:28.360 Those are two different things.
01:55:30.180 But no, I know that.
01:55:31.200 But I mean, isn't aren't these these violations of these rules?
01:55:34.940 Don't they at all?
01:55:37.460 I mean, the people who should be punished so they don't do it again is the justice system, not him.
01:55:42.720 He shouldn't have to just sit here and squander, you know, in jail and nobody's doing anything.
01:55:49.200 Why isn't this a violation that is so egregious that they would say, you know what, justice system, you're out of control.
01:55:57.760 You need to fix this.
01:55:59.040 Don't ever let this happen again.
01:56:01.140 He's dismissed.
01:56:02.660 Well, that may happen.
01:56:05.860 So the magistrate judge here in D.C. who held a hearing this week made some of those same observations.
01:56:11.780 He said he apologized to Mr.
01:56:13.940 Denny that you don't often get an apology from a federal judge from the bench.
01:56:17.560 OK, yeah.
01:56:18.460 He apologized to him.
01:56:19.560 He said you were lost in the system.
01:56:21.180 This is not supposed to happen.
01:56:22.620 This is a violation of your rights.
01:56:24.360 The judge said he was at a loss that really it's a clear violation of Mr.
01:56:29.100 Denny's right to have a preliminary hearing.
01:56:31.040 But the judge couldn't do anything about that because when the government indicted him, which they did on the morning of the hearing, when they did that, that unfortunately mooted out the problem that he was denied a preliminary hearing.
01:56:44.380 But it doesn't solve the problem that under the Speedy Trial Act, they had to indict him within 30 days.
01:56:53.500 And you can't fix the fact that you didn't indict in 30 days by indicting him on day 84.
01:56:58.620 It does not work that way.
01:57:01.060 So, Leslie, how many how many people involved in this January 6th thing have just been lost?
01:57:07.740 How many?
01:57:08.500 I mean, what?
01:57:09.020 What's we can't get any answers on anything?
01:57:11.960 I've never seen anything like this.
01:57:13.560 Well, the system is very convoluted, right?
01:57:20.160 And opaque.
01:57:21.100 It is complicated even for practitioners who understand how it's supposed to work.
01:57:26.700 I think that Mr. Denny's case is the only one that is this bad in terms of the Speedy Trial Act problem, right?
01:57:33.840 There are lots and lots of other problems, procedural problems with these cases and the way the government is handling them.
01:57:39.860 But you're not wrong that something should be done about this.
01:57:43.960 And I was not impressed, as you can probably tell from my article, that the federal judges here were not more urgent in their application.
01:57:53.320 Yeah.
01:57:53.560 Some resolution to this problem.
01:57:56.500 Now, the magistrate judge is correct that he was he kind of had his hands tied by two things.
01:58:02.820 One, the government got the indictment to the chief judge had issued an order that required the magistrate to write a report and make a recommendation to her.
01:58:13.080 So she could act on the defense motion to dismiss the case.
01:58:17.380 So the magistrate judge is, you know, he's a lower judge.
01:58:21.360 He has to follow her order.
01:58:22.540 So what he did was he ordered the government to brief the issue about the Speedy Trial Act violation and also, you know, for Mr. Denny's lawyer to respond to the briefing.
01:58:33.700 And he set a hearing for later on in the month.
01:58:36.080 Now, you know, at that point, I mean, you're just so far out of time with the Speedy Trial Act that he's just sitting in jail for more days that aren't that are not valid.
01:58:46.280 I think it's illegal, his current detention.
01:58:48.460 Wow.
01:58:48.800 But there will there will be a hearing.
01:58:50.760 But because the government got the indictment, the case has now been transferred to a regular judge, Judge Moss, instead of the magistrate handling the case.
01:59:02.680 So it's a little unclear whether the report from the magistrate will now go to the chief judge or whether it will go to Judge Moss, probably Judge Moss.
01:59:10.740 I want to we'll follow up with you on this, Leslie.
01:59:13.860 But I would like to if you don't if you have time to hold for just a couple of minutes, I've got to take a quick break.
01:59:19.080 And I want to come back and ask you about what James Colmey said in a in an op ed piece earlier this week that they've got to make an example out of these people.
01:59:30.260 That doesn't seem like blind justice to me, but I don't know.
01:59:36.120 I'd love to get your opinion on that coming up in a second.
01:59:38.720 First, these days you can't take anything for granted when it comes to your cyber security.
01:59:43.020 Just about everything from your phone to literally your refrigerator is now on the Internet.
01:59:48.980 And cyber criminals are out there looking for anything they can get.
01:59:52.420 They'll take everything.
01:59:53.480 Avoid odd messages via chat, email or text asking you to take action.
02:00:00.460 Weird links, attachments that you can but should not click on.
02:00:04.960 Dangerous stuff like that.
02:00:06.400 Above everything else, make sure you get a life lock.
02:00:09.040 It is essential.
02:00:10.680 Our information is at risk online every day.
02:00:13.780 That's what life lock is here for.
02:00:15.340 They can't catch everything.
02:00:16.560 No one can.
02:00:17.560 But they can monitor things, you know, better than you can on your own.
02:00:21.040 And if you do become a victim, they have a restoration specialist that can work with you to help fix the problem.
02:00:28.040 Now, nobody can stop everything.
02:00:30.840 Nobody can monitor everything.

02:00:48.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
02:00:52.380 We are with Leslie McAdoo-Gordon.
02:01:15.300 And, Leslie, I want to be really careful because I know you're currently representing Carter Page in his lawsuit in D.C.
02:01:24.120 Federal Court against the FBI and James Comey and Andy McCabe and everybody else.
02:01:29.460 So if you can answer this, you know, that's fine.
02:01:33.620 But I don't know if you read what Jim Comey said in The Washington Post, but he said this investigation is mostly about something that you may not want to think about as an FBI agent.
02:01:48.300 It's about sending a message, a shockwave of deterrence.
02:01:52.520 So future Americans, whether led by a lying demigod or rightly concerned about the loss of their rights, never again assault the institutions of government.
02:02:00.860 That means even those who merely trespass by following the crowd inside must be held accountable, even if only guilty of a misdemeanor.
02:02:09.680 That's fine, I think, if that means you go through the system and you pay the fine for a misdemeanor.
02:02:17.760 But you're not locked up for months and months.
02:02:21.740 If you hit a police officer, OK, you're going to go to jail and whatever the judge.
02:02:26.020 But can he say this? Can he go after as general deterrence?
02:02:36.940 Well, the concept of general deterrence is one that the courts have long said is a function of the criminal justice system.
02:02:44.260 And you're right that because I represent Carter Page and Mr. Comey is a defendant in that lawsuit.
02:02:50.460 I can't comment on him directly.
02:02:52.240 But what I will say is we need to be applying the rules of law the same across the entire.
02:03:00.780 Correct.
02:03:01.940 What your punishment is should not depend on what your views are.
02:03:06.020 It should depend on what the law permits and doesn't permit and what is consistent with what has been punished in the past.
02:03:13.760 And we are not doing that in these cases.
02:03:16.340 So I wrote an article about this in red state back in June.
02:03:19.440 And these same kinds of conduct for, let's take Mr. Comey's example, the mere trespassers.
02:03:25.760 Yeah.
02:03:26.280 The people who did the very same exact kind of conduct during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing.
02:03:32.920 Yes.
02:03:33.320 Were not prosecuted in the federal court.
02:03:35.440 They were prosecuted in the local court.
02:03:37.720 They were given effectively a citation.
02:03:41.620 Correct.
02:03:42.060 Special procedure in D.C.
02:03:43.440 Correct.
02:03:43.840 They had to pay a low amount of money.
02:03:46.820 They didn't have to hire lawyers.
02:03:47.820 They didn't have to appear in front of a judge.
02:03:49.560 They paid their money and walked away.
02:03:51.640 And that is not what we're doing with these cases.
02:03:54.680 Leslie, thank you very much.
02:03:56.480 We'll see you tomorrow.
02:03:57.480 God bless.
