On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by John Solomon to discuss the latest in the James Comey scandal and why socialism is on the rise in America. Glenn also talks about why people are turning to socialism and why the President should be worried.
00:01:26.700You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:28.500We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:34.760We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:39.700But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:01:42.160Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:45.540Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:16:28.560John Solomon, Jay Solomon reports on X.
00:16:32.880But he is an old school journalist, investigative reporter who's worked for everybody until everybody was like, you can't say those things.
00:17:43.780Real medicine from licensed doctors who understand, you know, how to use them, when to use them, and will help you understand that as well.
00:17:51.280It's for life's, you know, failures, the unexpected moments where you just can't afford to be out of something.
00:20:46.600The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.
00:20:54.240There's a reason socialism is doing well.
00:20:58.720You look at that, and you're like, wow.
00:21:02.020I mean, if that's the American dream, and for a lot of people, that is the American dream.
00:21:06.720That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff.
00:22:34.800But if you're not seeing, you're not seeing, you know, your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I can understand why you're like, you know what?
00:23:10.620I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for.
00:23:14.820But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.
00:23:26.540That's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.
00:23:31.160But they're not learning that anywhere.
00:23:34.100They're not, that is our responsibility to teach those things because they're not learning it anywhere.
00:24:04.100It's a smart, customizable home security system that watches over your house so you don't have to.
00:24:09.540The doors, the windows, the cameras, the motion sensors, every piece of it works together to detect trouble fast and alert you if there is a problem.
00:26:55.420He wrote a he wrote an essay, the critique of Gotha program, and Mark said under socialism from each, according to his ability to each, according to his contribution under communism to each, according to his needs.
00:28:06.660But actually, a bigger beast was Stalin.
00:28:09.140But if you want to look at Germany from 1930 to 1945, you see something really uncomfortable, a socialist movement that curdled into something monstrous while it never called itself communist.
00:28:24.320In fact, the Nazi government, the national socialist, the Nazis were not communist.
00:28:30.920They killed communists, but they shared the same foundational belief that the individual is disposable and that the state defines the truth.
00:28:42.560They both believe that rights are not given by God, but administered by political power and that dissent on any of this has to be crushed for the good of the collective.
00:28:54.740That is the that's the definition we should care about.
00:29:00.660Socialism doesn't have to go full Marx communism to become catastrophic.
00:29:04.540It just has to replace the individual conscience with the will of the state.
00:29:10.160And don't you see that's what's happening here?
00:29:17.700They'll destroy you, even if you've been on their side.
00:29:20.980I'm going to share a story with you of something from 1979 that happened that I don't think most people understand.
00:29:26.200And in New York, you better understand this.
00:29:28.400When a society accepts the premise, that premise, history shows the the slide can accelerate from a utopian promise to industrialized cruelty.
00:29:43.420Horror show like that Germany saw Russia saw China saw Cambodia saw North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba.
00:30:13.880The issue is not whether the label is technically perfect.
00:30:17.440The issue is the philosophical DNA is exactly the same.
00:30:22.260Collectivism over the individual state control over personal agency, central planning over free will, and that the belief that human nature can be engineered by political force.
00:31:08.400When communism and socialism, we should be saying, where does that road lead?
00:31:13.240I can tell you that the road always begins with the state controlling your choices.
00:31:19.980OK, it'll control your choice of energy, money, your children's education, your speech, your job, what you drive.
00:31:29.020And it always ends with never greater liberty.
00:31:33.200It always ends the same place in a society that is forgotten that freedom is fragile, that power concentrates, that people are the same over and over and over again.
00:31:44.320Human beings, they go bad, especially when you give them power.
00:31:48.820When they're told they're part of a grand collective, humans are willing to commit horrors they would never do as an individual.
00:32:23.200Now, the problem here is, is that socialism is on the rise and communism will be next.
00:32:31.300Remember, when I first started talking about Obama, I was raked across the coals every day for even suggesting he might kind of like socialism.
00:35:42.080Now, if they're earning a lot of money, get them in because we can still get their money.
00:35:47.780But let's make sure they're making money.
00:35:49.720If they're getting old, if they are crippled, if they fought in a war and just can't handle it themselves, if they're super, super young, if they've got an expensive cancer, let them die.
00:36:00.780They help them die that that's because they're looking at the collective, not the individual.
00:36:09.180And that's that's the beginning of the dark killing machine in a socialist country.
00:36:16.600And Canada is, you know, I mean, it is socialized medicine.
00:39:05.360Now, they just they just it's just too late.
00:39:09.220You know, once once the debris and the leaves have clogged all your gutters and you have a storm and you got water pouring over your roof line.
00:40:43.760Let me turn the show over for a couple of seconds to the old man that goes out on his back porch and screams at clouds.
00:40:49.640Yes, that's me today on this topic, because I just I can't take the oh, gosh, these young people, they can't afford the things they want.
00:40:59.000We should we should instead entertain their socialist pleas and act like they're rational because they don't think they can afford a house fast enough.
00:41:57.920And then the way we judge whether the American dream is happening is whether they can afford a house.
00:42:02.440Like, you know, the idea of whether you own or rent is not a determinative factor as to whether your happiness is there.
00:42:08.580I was very happy when I rented, very happy when I owned.
00:42:11.700Having ownership of a house is not a good breakdown as to whether your pursuit of happiness is in effect.
00:42:20.440I would have to say, I don't know if I've ever seen you happy.
00:42:24.560So as he comes off his back porch to stop yelling at the clouds, I just have to say, I think that's wholly inaccurate.
00:42:31.640All right, let me let me just say, when you buy Good Ranchers, that story starts on American soil with men and women who still get up before dawn.
00:42:49.440Good Rancher sells 100 percent American meat.
00:42:52.160Every cut is sourced from family farms right here in the U.S.
00:42:55.860No imported beef, no mystery labels, no guesswork, just honest, high quality meat delivered straight to your door.
00:43:02.960And when you buy from them, you're not just feeding your family.
00:43:06.040You're supporting the families who feed your family, the families who feed our country in a world where almost everything feels outsourced.
00:43:14.160Good Ranchers keeps dinner American because the taste of real hard, hard work still matters.
01:31:17.740And I'm sure glad to have Leanne with us on this lawsuit.
01:31:20.940You know, of course, AFPI is a policy arm, policy, more than a think tank, an action tank that's associated with the policies of President Trump.
01:31:32.180But what happened here, think about this.
01:31:33.840Remember, Kristi Noem had a voluntary deportation opportunity.
01:31:39.880Now, this is an opportunity that's been in statute before Kristi Noem, before President Trump, but it's never really been utilized as much as this administration has.
01:31:47.980And so this father, recognizing that he was not in compliance with the law, decided to say, you know what, I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity so I can maybe come back the right way one day.
01:32:00.760I need to go get my son at school and went to the school to try to get his kid.
01:32:07.940And the school obstructed him and then obstructed ICE from assisting as well.
01:32:18.300It's about a whole string of policies that we've uncovered, Glenn, that this school system and probably others around the country have in place that keep these kids and keep ICE from doing their job.
01:32:31.080So, Leanne, what is it about this case?
01:32:59.220But I'm really glad that you asked that question.
01:33:02.020You know, the school district has several policies in place that directly violate the state law.
01:33:08.060And, you know, one is that the schools can't implement policies that make it difficult for employees to follow federal immigration law or to cooperate with federal immigration officials.
01:33:19.420And, of course, that's what happened here.
01:33:20.840Additionally, the law prohibits local government agencies from having policies that restrict the ability to collect information about immigration status.
01:33:33.000So, you know, the Biden administration unleashed 400,000 unaccompanied minors into this country who are all at grave risk of, you know, unthinkable tragedies and crimes that could be committed against them.
01:33:47.120And if schools are prohibited from collecting information about students in their own buildings, then it is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to find those kids and get them back to safety.
01:33:59.460So, Attorney General, you're looking at this, I mean, is this, this is a school district that is deciding that they are against, that they're above the law.
01:34:15.260I mean, I've seen cities do it, but I've never seen a school district do it.
01:34:40.480But it's really the leadership, and it's the elected school board who are all leftists and the leadership who, you know, again, this is part of the Marxist agenda.
01:34:49.440The parents are subsidiary, they're subservient to these administrators, to the teachers themselves, and they work against the parents.
01:35:00.980And why do I call this, I'm not being overly dramatic on when I call it Marxism, but that's what it does, right?
01:35:06.100Marxism attacks the family unit, which is the foundation of our free society, right?
01:35:35.140Is the parent support for this high, or is the parent support for this low?
01:35:38.780So, oh, it's low, what do we have to do to make sure that the transition isn't obstructed, is basically what the form asks for.
01:35:47.340So it's this division in keeping out of parents and basically the state's assumption of our greatest asset from God, which is our children.
01:35:59.680That's what's at the core of all of this, that the family and the parents don't have the authority or the rights that they're supposed to have in a free society like America.
01:36:08.780It's amazing that they are protecting, they're not protecting the family, but I mean, let me take it from where Leanne was.
01:36:17.960I mean, MS-13, child traffickers, I mean, they seem to be protected here.
01:36:28.260I mean, again, with the policies that refuse to allow cooperation and sharing information about illegal immigration status is just like a welcome mat for the hordes of dangerous criminals.
01:36:43.440Even high school age students who could be in these schools and now, you know, the actions of the school district have prevented ICE from being able to determine that.
01:36:53.840Do you have any, Attorney General, do you have anything to add on what's happening with, you know, child trafficking or MS-13 in these schools?
01:37:04.320Well, that's exactly what, you know, whether it exists or whether they're having the atmosphere or the environment so that it can exist in the future, that's what the parents and the taxpayers have to watch out for.
01:37:16.200I mean, let's not forget, your listeners, Glenn, we all are paying for these schools and we're forking over this money, we think, to somehow educate our kids when they're being either groomed or indoctrinated and the school is working against us.
01:37:33.520I mean, that's the most frustrating thing. But, yeah, this could be a very dangerous safety issue here.
01:37:39.200So I guess the bottom line for me, Glenn, is, and I know you're listeners and you talk so much about Congress, and I was a congressman for eight years.
01:37:46.740I'm here to tell you that the sun does not rise and set at Congress.
01:37:52.160I mean, in a lot of days like today, they can't tie their shoes.
01:38:00.520And as you see from this lawsuit and the other things that we do, we can actually move the needle.
01:38:05.960So that's where listeners have to invest their time.
01:38:09.980Was there any law broken by holding this child away from the parents?
01:38:16.960Well, yeah, I mean, what this lawsuit's about is the fact that they are harboring a sanctuary jurisdiction.
01:38:26.100They have created a sanctuary jurisdiction here, which is against the law of the state of Indiana.
01:38:30.820We have a pretty strong, very good, by Senator Eric Cook, a very good anti-sanctuary city, anti-sanctuary jurisdiction law in the state of Indiana.
01:38:41.620And we contend that's been a violation.
01:38:58.920So nothing's going to happen in that regard.
01:39:02.800Leanne, consequences for the rest of us if this doesn't go the right way?
01:39:09.520Well, it's, you know, a complete breakdown of the law and the rule of law if this is continued to allow, if this is continued to go on.
01:39:19.640And, you know, the Indiana representatives passed this law and Attorney General Rokita is enforcing it.
01:39:26.720And that is what is demanded of the leaders in the states right now.
01:39:31.260And I think it's just so incredible that he's taken this step in filing this lawsuit and holding this school district accountable because if we don't protect our schools in states where we have very good statutes that require that, then we will not have a country any longer.
01:39:49.560The chief legal affairs officer from America First Policy Institute, you can find them at AmericaFirstPolicy.com, Leanne O'Neill, and the Indiana Attorney General, Todd Rokita.
01:41:31.360So I remember when you were a kid and you made a horrible mistake.
01:41:47.220You went out on your own and you're living on your own and you do something and you might have even called your parents and your parents wisely said, don't do that.
01:41:53.680That's going to, that's going to leave a mark because it's going to, it's not a good idea.
01:42:26.600What were you, uh, no, it didn't happen.
01:42:30.300My daughter and her roommate decide they're going to get a lab for a pet.
01:42:40.740Stu, what do you tell your daughter, your son, they go out, they live on their own, the roommates in an apartment building, they decide to get a lab for a pet.
