On this episode of the Glenn Beck Show, host Glenn Beck is joined by reporter Julie Kelly and reporter Riley Gaines to discuss the latest on the latest in the Trump administration, including the latest details about the latest batch of White House tapes released by former Vice President Joe Biden. Also on the show is a new nickname for the day, Black Friday, and a story about a car explosion on the Rainbow Bridge.
00:03:11.480We have a bridge and there's a tunnel.
00:03:12.740It goes under and over the Detroit River and then into Canada.
00:03:18.480And I've been through and that crossing.
00:03:21.840I've done the bridge and I've done the tunnel and they're building a new bridge right now.
00:03:24.820But there's so much traffic that comes through.
00:03:28.580Do you know that it is like when you're going into Canada specifically, it is like, I mean, they are going to inspect you with a fine tooth comb.
00:04:31.760Governor of New York, fully aware of it, CBS, I think, had the first full report on it, Catherine Harrods, who came out and said, yeah, you know,
00:04:42.460they are looking at a terrorist report, at least threats, that something may take place here over the holiday weekend.
00:04:49.880Pained a security alert suggesting an increasing terrorist threat to New York state.
00:04:55.200The New York state intelligence bulletin points to Israeli operations against Moss and specifically that the increase in civilian casualties raises the likelihood that violent extremist threat actors will seek to conduct attacks against targets in the West.
00:05:17.800Rightly so people are rather concerned.
00:05:21.780So when you have this explosion that takes place at the border, you can understand people are saying, well, that's what it looks like was a terrorist attack, a car filled with explosives.
00:05:32.920But I'm here to tell you what actually took place was was much or at least what we're being told right now that took place much stranger.
00:05:41.780Then than than what we were initially thinking with the terrorist attack, here's some of the reporting, a three hundred thousand dollar car, a wife and husband off to a kiss in concert, ended up at a casino instead and then in flames.
00:05:59.200Well, investigators have been going backwards through the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the person they believe to be the driver of that car.
00:06:05.120And what they see is a 56 year old man from the area.
00:06:08.800He lives in a very upscale island and that's not far away who had intended to go to the kiss concert, which was canceled.
00:06:18.100then changed his plans to a casino where he spent some time and then leaves the casino
00:06:24.980and then drives at a high rate of speed along this road in Niagara Falls,
00:06:31.020hits the divider, goes airborne, as the governor said, and lands in an explosion.
00:06:36.600Authorities believe he was in the car with his wife.
00:06:39.120This was a Bentley two-door Excelsior X.
00:06:43.440This is a car that goes for about $300,000 new.
00:06:48.760So it does not, as Matt Miragula from the FBI indicated, the special agent in charge in Buffalo,
00:06:55.780who runs the Joint Terrorism Task Force up there, does not have any of the earmarks of terrorism.
00:07:01.240It looks much more, as they have been able to go backwards through it, like a terrible accident.
00:07:06.300The question is how and why, and they're still looking at that.
00:07:10.180Somebody on my morning show to Detroit today actually sent me a message.
00:07:16.820What do all these black boxes these smart cars have now?
00:07:20.700Can they dig in and get some information?
00:07:22.440You know, they're always creeping on us, and they're trying to get that, you know, privacy issues and things like that.
00:07:28.340Is there any way that they can dig into the black box and find out what happened?
00:07:32.380Because the thing was going on a high rate speed.
00:07:33.840I saw the, I guess one of the guys that witnessed this, a resident there, come out.
00:07:40.680He said, no, no, nothing like they said actually happened.
00:07:43.420This car, and here's another piece that I find kind of interesting, was actually circling around the area multiple times.
00:07:52.220He said that looked a little suspicious to him.
00:07:54.200Then he saw it rev up, high rate of speed.
00:07:56.260It must have hit some sort of incline or some sort of concrete embankment or something, and that's when it goes airborne, finally impacts on another, looked like concrete or steel beam, something, inside that post before you get to the actual bridge.
00:08:18.500And that's where the explosion happened.
00:08:19.900So I'm just telling you, the thing that came out, and I don't know, terrorism or what, I don't really know, we'll ever know the real truth about what actually happened here.
00:08:28.800But terrorism, it looks like it probably wasn't.
00:08:32.020What happened, I don't, I think it's hard to make sense of it.
00:08:36.740I think maybe what did happen is far more strange than what we'll ever know.
00:08:42.380Who knows, whether drugs or alcohol or something like that involved, I don't know.
00:08:46.460But it is just part of the stories, and I know since we've probably had a chance to talk, that's the latest in the up now, happening right now as we speak.
00:08:59.320Today, the first group of Hamas hostages is set to be released.
00:09:05.840That's as we speak right now, the first group.
00:09:09.040I haven't seen any actual reports that they have been yet released.
00:09:13.680There's a group of these, maybe 50 or so, and then there's like an exchange of prisoners that are being held that are going to be released as well.
00:09:21.580I think there's about 150, and this is during the four-day, the first of which, during the four-day ceasefire that seems like it's ticking so far.
00:10:31.080What are you looking for when you walk down the meat aisle at the grocery store?
00:10:34.840You're looking for some kind of real good meat that you can feed your family, right?
00:10:38.860You want something raised in America, and you're looking for something close to expiring because that's the only way you can get a good price?
00:10:44.680If you are in this situation, what you put on your table matters, and that's why you should get your meat from Good Ranchers, because you're going to cover all of those things.
00:10:54.16085% of the grass-fed beef is imported from overseas, but not with Good Ranchers.
00:10:58.620They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken from local farms and ranches, and from every box ordered.
00:11:04.380Good Ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need.
00:11:42.680It's Barkley and for Beck today on the Glenn Beck program on an interesting, it's just going to be a Black Friday to remember.
00:11:49.700You know, one of the things that I find most fascinating about where we are right now, particularly in the weird economic times that we're facing,
00:12:01.740is that there is more of a strain, there's more of an economic strain, I think, than we've ever felt before.
00:12:12.080And it is, you know, it's, it's from everything, but there's, there's, there's plenty of, it's a Biden campaign out there sending out talking points for Thanksgiving.
00:12:28.620I don't know how your Thanksgiving went.
00:12:32.820Was there any, did you talk any politics over the turkey?
00:12:35.980Uh, I am, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm actually grateful that it didn't, nothing escalated, nothing got any, any weirder than it really normally does.
00:20:43.560Swimming as a man just days prior and now swimming as a woman.
00:20:50.120New Jersey Liberal Arts College, Megan Cortez Fields, a student there, smashes women's 100-yard butterfly record after competing in the men's team for three years.
00:21:04.160So, I guess what this is, is if you're just not making it, if you're just not cutting it, you can have massive success if you just make the switch.
00:21:16.120And that's about all you have to do, really.
00:21:18.760I mean, you don't have to probably do much to qualify.
00:21:21.440Riley Gaines has been very outspoken about this slam for UK and, of course, now is really the one out there ringing a bell about the fairness in these sports and particularly protecting young women.
00:23:20.160And I don't know the details of this particular swimmer, whether there was, like, a full transformation that went through, you know, physically.
00:23:28.500You can't change down to the genetics.
00:23:30.960There are things that you just can't change.
00:23:33.080You could cut and tuck and nip and slice and dice all you want.
00:23:38.660But the truth is, down to the genetic level, you can't make those changes.
00:24:04.140And when you have sports like fighting or, for example, like field hockey, which we saw recently, you have to add in the safety element to it.
00:24:13.600Because, you know, in regard to swimming, of course, the argument is about fair competition and women losing out on opportunities and our privacy aspect in the locker room.
00:24:23.080But we didn't necessarily have to worry about our physical safety because there's no collision or throwing something at one another and swimming.
00:24:30.160But in field hockey, recently in Massachusetts, a male player playing on the women's team, of course, posing as a woman, hit a woman in the face.
00:24:38.920And I just talked with her team and her teammates.
00:24:41.160She lost her teeth, several of her teeth, and had to undergo facial reconstruction surgery to reconstruct her jaw.
00:24:48.700Same thing with Peyton McNabb, a volleyball player in high school in North Carolina, who was hit in the face by a male, again, playing on the women's team.
00:24:59.200Still to this day, this has been a year and three months since, still to this day from that hit.
00:25:05.080She's now not playing college sports like she was supposed to.
00:25:10.660She's still partially paralyzed on her right side of her body.
00:25:14.220She has to have special accommodations for testing at school, all because of the brain injury she had from the male.
00:25:21.480And, look, that's not to say that women playing against women, there's no injuries or injuries never happen, because, of course, they do.
00:25:28.820But in those cases and many more, those injuries should have never happened.
00:25:35.180You know, Riley Gaines joins us right now to talk about this latest story and so many others in this whole situation.
00:25:41.080But, you know, you're looking at these things, and every one of these stories has something, I think, that's very similar in common, which is the solution.
00:25:54.220We just played this clip with this woman who is going on about how bad the economy is and how much pain she and her family are feeling and how far things have come for them.
00:26:04.340And they're making good money, but they're finding it harder and harder every day to survive, and I understand that.
00:26:09.060I get that a lot of people are going through that right now, and they think they're doing the right things.
00:26:42.560There are a lot of people that are sitting on the sidelines right now, to use a sports phrase, but they're sitting on the sidelines watching all of this go down.
00:26:48.980The world's burning, and they don't want to get political because, you know, it stresses them out.
00:26:53.140But the alternative is this dumpster fire that we're watching right now.
00:26:56.700And then the second piece of it is, somebody ought to do something.
00:27:06.380Let me tell you, when I was in the position that I was in, again, that national championships where we faced Leah Thomas, a male, same story, 462nd against the men, to then dominating the women, I thought the exact same thing.
00:27:19.260And I thought surely, really, I thought surely someone who was supposed to be protecting us, like our coaches or our parents or people with political power or people within the NCAA, I thought surely someone who was supposed to be protecting us would protect us.
00:27:35.180I mean, what a naive thought, I guess.
00:27:37.440And I remember the moment distinctly when I decided it had to be me because I'm standing on the podium.
00:27:45.420I was cheering, although I knew what was happening was wrong.
00:27:49.540Me, specifically, I was denied the trophy because they told me that Leah Thomas had to hold it.
00:27:55.680Again, formerly Will Thomas, keep up if you can, had to hold the trophy because it was crucial when photos were being taken, although we tied.
00:28:28.880I think female athletes, and I didn't think that's for the longest time, but I think female athletes need to boycott these events where males are participating.
00:28:37.540Send the message that we're not, we've had enough.
00:28:40.160We're rolling up our sleeves and we're saying no.
00:28:42.320That being said, I do think parents need to step in.
00:28:45.160We need coaches willing to defend their female athletes.
00:28:48.040You know, we ask the question of where are the feminists?
00:29:27.120But the truth is, whether it's this crazy situation, we're talking about, you know, men competing in women's sports, boys competing against girls, whatever it might be.
00:29:38.420Or it's things that we're dealing with in our own backyard and takeover that's happening at every step of the direction that we look at across the country with China trying to come.
00:29:49.740And matter of fact, we'll have conversation about that a little later on this morning in the program.
00:29:53.080But also, the other issues that we're facing, the border wide open, all of these things, they start with us getting more engaged in what it is that we're facing on a daily basis, finding the strength to take action, however that comes, and moving forward with that.
00:30:12.580You said something the other day on Twitter, or X now, and I think this is perfect.
00:30:47.460And so it's our job, it's our duty, I think, as human beings, I think as parents, I think as women, as Christians, I think it's our duty to have hope, to stand firm, to be bold, to be empowering, and to say the truth.
00:31:01.640That's what this all boils down to, is merely saying the emperor wears no clothes.
00:31:08.100And I don't think it's hard to do, so I think it's something we should all be doing.
00:31:20.980It is the Gaines for Girls podcast, where interviewing, you know, different policy experts and, of course, people who have been affected by this gender ideology movement, world-renowned scientists regarding the topic.
00:31:33.980We're going to continue speaking at college campuses in the spring semester, which I think is really important to engage the younger generation, who certainly needs to be engaged, and who I believe is desperate for the truth, to hear the truth.
00:33:00.440There's some truth behind some of this that actually gives me a little bit of hope, a little bit of encouragement that hopefully we'll get out.
00:33:08.940Mark this date that you hear the truth, because, you know, it's an election year.
00:33:13.120So things can get a little weird in the coming days.
00:33:17.480We'll get to all of that and more coming up next on the Glenn Beck program.
00:34:44.880In fact, I'm all over those platforms the same at Mr. Justin Barclay.
00:34:48.960Barclay in for BECK this morning and the updates we have that hostage release is underway according to reports that are coming in right now.
00:34:55.380It looks like about 14 eminent children being released as that ceasefire is underway, too, and so forth.
00:35:36.960I've got to give you a little bit of a just a pause for caution.
00:35:40.280Some of the things that we're hearing about this story, overwhelmed hospitals, kids, and the worst off in all of this, we're getting some clarification on.
00:35:50.900It turns out China just lifted their restrictions.
00:41:10.060Good news, hope, and encouragement for trying times.
00:41:12.060And that's what this is today, a story about some good news.
00:41:16.380It happened just the other day in a small rural town, in fact, a township just north of a place called Big Rapids,
00:41:30.880which is in Michigan, northern Michigan.
00:41:35.340Ferris State University is the home of this place.
00:41:37.560It's a place called Green Charter Township.
00:41:42.160Americans came together, both on the left and right, to stand up and fight back and take action against a township board that just wasn't listening.
00:41:53.980They just weren't listening to the people.
00:41:58.240But they don't care where you are, Democrat, Republican, left, right, whatever your politics are.
00:42:03.800But when the people who have been elected to represent you are no longer doing so, in fact, they're not even listening to you.
00:42:11.820Many of them have been in place for decades.
00:42:51.840As you can imagine, this isn't flying well in rural Michigan.
00:42:55.400I don't think it would fly well, really, anywhere across the country.
00:43:00.240Along with those national security implications, there are also concerns from folks on the left about the environmental impact at this battery plant.
00:43:07.420All the toxic chemicals that are going to be used to build these batteries.
00:43:11.580And, of course, they're telling us there's going to be jobs, jobs, jobs, so many jobs.
00:43:16.660But the question about those jobs, how many, and what the impact might be versus the other issues as well is what really has sparked the fight, left and right, standing up to fight back.
00:43:28.740Here to talk a little bit about that, former congressman, former ambassador, right in the fight in the middle of it all, Pete Huckstra from Michigan joining us right now.
00:43:40.920And thanks for staying focused on this issue.
00:43:44.500It really is, as you characterize it, it's the left and the right fighting.
00:43:49.380But for once, they're not fighting each other.
00:43:51.200They're actually fighting together, and they're fighting the elites in their township.
00:43:55.660They're fighting the elites in our state capitol in Lansing, and they're fighting the elites in Washington, D.C., who all came together and said,
00:44:04.560you know what, putting this mega-site battery factory in this little rural community in northern Michigan, providing them with billions of dollars of tax breaks, you know, we think that's a good idea.
00:44:18.120We think that's a good idea for green township.
00:50:09.640But what do those donations go to and what will that help fund in the fight?
00:50:14.680Well, what it's been fighting so far, what it's been funding so far, our legal fight against Goshen.
00:50:21.120I mean, there's all kinds of issues that we think we can tackle this plant on, environmental issues.
00:50:27.300A battery plant is going to be a huge consumer of water.
00:50:31.320So we're concerned about what happens to the groundwater.
00:50:34.620We're concerned, like you said, we're concerned about the materials that they're going to be bringing into the site, the environmental impact that they may have.
00:50:42.820But, you know, we're concerned about, you know, what it's going to do to the community.
00:50:48.400Because, as you said, it's environmentalists, it's community activists.
00:50:54.280It's community organizers that have joined with us who are concerned about the national security implications, all fighting this really bad idea.
00:51:05.320And so the funds that you donate to this organization, they're used to fight all of these initiatives and to fight the deep pockets that you find at Goshen,
00:51:18.140that you find at the right place, that you find in Lansing, and that you find in Washington.
00:51:23.000Remember, this is billions of dollars.
00:51:26.360And as you said, it's not just about Mecosta.
00:51:29.640It's about what's going on in another community in Michigan, Marshall, Michigan.
00:51:33.540It's about what's going on in Illinois, where they want to build, where Goshen wants, again, is being incentivized to build a battery plant.
00:51:43.180But the other thing is it's a much bigger fight.
00:51:47.500In the Netherlands, you know, we were dependent on supplies coming in from the Chinese Communist Party, coming in from China.
00:51:56.220And the big talk was then we've got to onshore some of the production of these products.
00:52:00.680But that fight has now gone away under the Biden administration.
00:52:05.640You know, we need to reshore some of these articles, some of these commodities and some of these products.
00:52:11.940And those are the fights that, on a larger scale, we're also going to be engaging in.
00:52:17.840But it's battery plants and key technologies today don't give China the lead.
00:52:23.800And in the future, it's going to be resourcing to America, to our allies, the things that we need every day to survive and be a great nation.
00:52:33.940So, former congressman, former ambassador, and speaking of which, Pete Huckstra, you just mentioned the Netherlands.
00:52:39.920I've got to take a quick pause here, a quick break.
00:52:42.160If you can hang on with us through this, I want to ask you something pretty incredible.
00:52:46.640Revolutionary is happening over there.
00:52:47.920In fact, I think you maybe have a little insight into it.
00:52:50.640We'll get your take on something big happening, a conservative movement happening there.
00:52:55.540We just saw in Argentina, conservative movements happening throughout the world right now.
00:53:00.980We'll get your take, get the pulse on that when we come back.
00:53:03.220Justin Barkley in for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck Program, back after this.
00:53:09.360My pillow is always looking for ways to solve everyday problems.
00:55:14.340I want to get to meet the parliamentarians in the Dutch parliament.
00:55:17.940And they said, okay, and we'll start scheduling meetings with you.
00:55:21.220And I said, okay, and I'd like to meet with Sherrick Wilders.
00:55:25.300And they said, well, you know, you really can't do that, ambassador.
00:55:28.580And I said, what do you mean I can't do that?
00:55:30.380Well, you know, he's too controversial.
00:55:32.560I said, you know, that doesn't bother me.
00:55:35.640I mean, I ended up meeting with the Muslim Party, and I ended up, you know, it's kind of like, no,
00:55:41.560you're not going to tell me who I'm going to meet with.
00:55:43.160I'm going to meet with all the parliamentarians, and that includes Sherrick Wilders.
00:55:46.720And so he's been on the scene for, you know, more than 20 years and been, you know, spoken very aggressively on anti-Islam issues, radical Islam and those kinds of things.
00:56:02.240And then during, but he's also spoken on a lot of other issues, immigration, the EU and those kinds of things.
00:56:09.620And, you know, he consistently, in election cycles, would come in, you know, somewhere between the second or the fourth, the largest party in the Netherlands.
00:56:18.800And you say, well, you'll come in fourth.
00:56:20.540And it's like, hey, the last parliament had 15 parties in it.
00:56:24.380So you come in fourth, you're still a pretty sizable voice.
00:56:27.400And in this election cycle, it appears that the same thing that happened up in Greentownship, the people who were in elected office forgot who they'd worked for.
00:56:43.200You know, the Dutch, you know, they've been going along the green movement.
00:56:47.380They've been the leaders in Europe on the green issues.
00:56:49.620They were, in the last parliament, they're having huge fights with their farmers because they want to close 30 to 50 percent of their farms.
00:56:59.300Well, the Dutch are the, you know, they're a huge agricultural country.
00:57:03.820And, you know, who told them they had to close that many farms?
00:57:15.880But the elites in the establishment said, no, we have to follow the EU.
00:57:21.280And so what happened in this cycle, I think what happened on, you know, on Wednesday was the Dutch people spoke.
00:57:28.860They were dissatisfied with the establishment parties and said, you know, you've been working on these issues for the last 13 years on immigration, on our concerns about the EU.
00:57:41.360And in some cases, we think that you've made the situation worse.
00:57:47.140You know, we're going to go with somebody that we think is finally going to confront our concerns about immigration, who's going to confront our concerns about the green energy movement, who's going to confront our concerns about losing our Dutchness to the EU.
00:58:03.840And, you know, there were four parties.
00:58:06.960They were all expected to get between 20 and 25 seats in the parliament.
00:58:12.500And builders came in, builders party came in, what looks like now 37 seats, beating all expectations.
00:58:22.800And again, not by a small margin, but by a huge and significant margin.
00:58:28.740The challenge now for here is he's got to put together a coalition.
01:02:33.840And so does neither does Maga Mike Johnson.
01:02:36.300Apparently he and his son, this is one of the stories I never thought would take charge like it has, but it has.
01:02:44.300He has talked about how he and his son have downloaded an app to help keep them accountable so that they're not looking at things online that they shouldn't be.
01:02:55.980Things online that aren't good for them and other people as well.
01:02:58.660And this story, the way the world and the left, particularly media folks, have reacted to it is just incredible.
01:03:10.740I've been watching the fallout from it all, and I've been rather amused, but also curious, and maybe you have too.
01:03:24.320There is an app called Covenant Eyes, and they have downloaded this app, and they are using it.
01:03:30.120In fact, I sparked my interest because I've heard of it, but I wasn't really sure exactly how it's used,
01:03:36.160but how it works and what exactly they're doing, and also just how this all plays in.
01:03:42.000Maybe other people are starting to draw some attention to this and the issue.
01:03:46.060And so we reached out and thought we would talk to a founder, someone who will discuss this with us.
01:03:52.540Rhonda Haas is with us right now from Covenant Eyes.
01:03:55.020Ron, we appreciate you being here with us today on the Glenn Beck program.
01:03:58.560Hey, Justin. It's great to be here. Thank you.
01:04:00.560So tell us what Covenant Eyes is and where it came from, and then we'll get into Maga Mike and his story in just a little bit.
01:04:10.300But what's the app about, and where did it come from?
01:04:13.440It is quite a story, and I agree with everything you just said.
01:05:47.580We have to face the fact that virtually everybody, now there are a few exceptions that I've come across, but virtually everybody has been tempted by porn on the Internet.
01:05:59.300The statistics show that upwards of 70% of men and upwards of 50% of women actually have an ongoing struggle with it.
01:06:07.720And I've corresponded with hundreds of teens and young adults who have struggled with porn since they were younger than 13.
01:06:15.200And these are people that come, kids that come from good homes.
01:06:19.480You know, their parents really are shocked to find this out.
01:06:22.440And rarely do I hear from anyone under 25 who was not exposed to porn by the time they were 12.
01:06:30.480It has become the sex education of our young people.
01:06:36.340It is training the boys, young boys, this is how you treat girls.
01:06:41.920And it's teaching the girls this is how you get treated.
01:06:45.600It really is becoming the sex education of our youth.
01:06:50.500And, you know, it's interesting, the growth of the erectile dysfunction industry, ED.
01:06:59.020In 1941, the Kinsey report showed that less than 1% of men 18 to 32 had ED.
01:07:08.480And by 2013, there were three peer-reviewed studies that showed that upwards of 30% of young men, 18 to 32, have ED.
01:07:22.160And so two decades ago, the ads for the ED drugs were old men talking to old men in the ad.
01:07:50.860And I don't know if the headline is coming.
01:07:53.840But I want to say that, like, that it is a version of evil.
01:07:59.540And it's a very seductive version that may start out in a very sort of relatable or just introductory way.
01:08:06.980And it gets worse and worse and worse over time that people have talked about this.
01:08:11.180But it really does seem to me that we are under attack these days, not just obviously with the physical that we're facing on the battlefields, you know, across the world.
01:08:21.780But also in our hands, we've got these devices.
01:08:24.780There's an information battle happening.
01:08:26.760There's a battle for the soul of the nation in a lot of ways through information, propaganda.
01:08:31.660But if you can get, it seems to me, into the relationships of men and women and even stop them from having them at all in America, and you can put a little wedge in between husbands and wives and just affect people in that way, I mean, you can do tremendous damage.
01:08:55.820And I'm just reminded of Paul Harvey in that, you know, that famous If I Were the Devil segment that he did years ago, that piece.
01:09:05.360I mean, it just, it's like prophetic the way that so many of those things have come true.
01:09:10.220But these are the things you might do, you know, and that's why I just think about all of the ramifications that we're seeing because of social media or any number of websites or things that have things on them that might lead people down a path that they don't want to be on.
01:09:24.500Yeah, you know, you're absolutely right.
01:09:28.180Pornography is damaging every relationship that you can think of.
01:09:31.740It's your family, your friends, it impedes your work, it impedes whatever ministry you have.
01:09:41.420And 93% of our members, we do a poll of 300,000 members, what we have, we do a poll.
01:09:50.020And 93% say that the reason they are, one of the reasons that they're using covenant eyes is to improve their relationship with God.
01:10:01.460And they recognize that it has damaged that.
01:10:04.780So, you know, the Mike Johnson story, for instance, the true story is he was being a good parent.
01:10:11.980Mike Johnson, the true story is Mike Johnson is a good father.
01:10:26.160So he introduced this app with his son and a way to help keep him accountable, it sounds like.
01:10:33.500And this sounds like a great way for him and his son to grow their relationship.
01:10:39.440So tell me, what's the story on him, the true story about what happened with Mike as a father?
01:10:45.500Well, okay, he was on a panel in a Baptist church gathering, and this was a year ago now.
01:10:53.360And there was a video recording of the panel.
01:10:56.140And in that panel, I mean, it's like, honestly, the Speaker of the House doing an advertisement for Covenant Eyes because he talked about Covenant Eyes accountability and how well it works and how he used Covenant Eyes successfully to help teach his son to stay away from pornography.
01:11:16.640And so the headline, Rolling Stone magazine ran the headline.
01:11:23.940So when Mike Johnson goes to his son and he says, I want to hold you accountable and I want you to hold me accountable on our Internet use because I want us both to avoid pornography.
01:11:37.380I want us both to hold each other accountable.
01:11:41.220And so they installed Covenant Eyes on their computers.
01:11:45.860And here's the headline from Rolling Stone.
01:11:47.880The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, admitted that he and his son monitored each other's porn intake.
01:12:45.500If you have – and it is available on, of course, the Mac and Windows computers, but also on the iPhone and the Android.
01:12:57.140And, by the way, the ratings that we get on Android and Mac are really pretty impressive.
01:13:05.640We have one and a half million downloads on the two – on Android and iPhone.
01:13:17.040And between – with all those downloads, it is very tough to get a rating above four on either platform.
01:13:28.100But on Android, we have a 4.7 rating from nearly 10,000 reviews.
01:13:33.360And on the iPhone, with over a million downloads and nearly 50,000 reviews, we get a 4.3 rating.
01:13:40.780And so it really is – you know, our internal data shows that it's successful, but also what people say about it.
01:13:48.980Bottom line is if you want to beat porn, accountability works.
01:13:53.360And so if you just go to covenanteyes.com, you can download it there.
01:13:58.880By the way, there is – on the iPhone and the Android, there's a free version that we call Victory.
01:14:03.780And the purpose of Victory is to change the course of history by providing content and courses and other information that will help you beat porn.
01:15:35.660What are you looking for when you walk down the meat aisle at the grocery store?
01:15:39.400You're looking for some kind of real good meat that you can feed your family, right?
01:15:43.320You want something raised in America and you're looking for something close to expiring because that's the only way you can get a good price?
01:15:49.280If you are in this situation, what you put on your table matters.
01:15:54.260And that's why you should get your meat from Good Ranchers because you're going to cover all of those things.
01:15:58.760Eighty-five percent of the grass-fed beef is imported from overseas but not with Good Ranchers.
01:16:03.220They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken from local farms and ranches and from every box ordered.
01:16:08.980Good Ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need.
01:22:10.740So this is a defendant named Jeremy Grosscloth.
01:22:14.280He was not convicted of any violent crime.
01:22:17.380He wasn't convicted of assaulting police officers or destroying federal property.
01:22:21.740He was found guilty during a bench trial, which means a single judge determines his guilt or innocence.
01:22:29.080And this is Judge Chris Cooper, an Obama appointee who happens to be married to a top chief, a former attorney general, Eric Holder.
01:22:37.960And the two were married by none other than current attorney general, Merrick Garland.
01:22:44.520So that should give you a little insight as to, and look, this is universal with these judges having ties either directly themselves through a spouse, whomever, to this Department of Justice.
01:22:56.180Chris Cooper found this man guilty of numerous offenses, and then at his, when he announced his verdict on Tuesday, the Department of Justice under U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves, another Biden appointee, not only asked for the judge to immediately remand Mr. Grosscloth into custody,
01:23:18.180he snitched on Mr. Grosscloth's Give Son Go account created by his common law wife.
01:23:28.440They've been together, he told me, since they were 11 years old.
01:23:30.620They have two special needs children together.
01:23:33.580They've raised about $40,000 from the public.
01:23:37.720And this DOJ, now with Judge Cooper, directed or orally ordered that Mr. Grosscloth not use any of those funds that had been raised.
01:23:53.520I know what, under what, how are they, how are they, how are they mentally, what are the gymnastics that they are jumping through the hoops to make that, that a thing?
01:24:03.560Or is it just that blatant that they don't care?
01:24:12.060This is one of many reasons why we need either video or audio feed to every federal criminal district courtroom.
01:24:20.960Because unless you go there, and I have to pay to go to Washington, D.C., sit in the courtroom where no devices are allowed in, you know, the old-fashioned way, write down as much as you can, or you can go into specially allotted media rooms where you can see the proceedings.
01:24:37.400Only the proceedings, only the ones that are chosen, by the way, see the proceedings happening live, and then you can, you know, type it out on your computer or post it on social media.
01:24:45.860There's no reason why these trials and proceedings should not be accessible to the public, except for the fact that you have sadistic judges like Judge Chris Cooper, who gets away with all of this because there is no public oversight.
01:25:05.400I have urged House Republicans, after they took over the House, I've asked them, here are judges, this is what they're doing under cover of darkness, right down the street from where you guys work.
01:25:18.040This is what they're doing to American citizens.
01:25:26.680Have Judge Chris Cooper explain why he did that, under what law enables him to do that.
01:25:32.200Haul all of these judges, why they're holding nonviolent offenders for nearly two years under pretrial detention orders.
01:25:39.100I've got a long list of unconstitutional, more importantly, inhumane things that these judges have done.
01:25:46.560And to your point, unless you cover it, someone like me, you didn't see the corporate media, the J6 reporters who are assigned to cover January 6th at this courthouse, you didn't see them posting about this.
01:26:00.240And there's a reason why, because part of it is to promote the agenda, the narrative of J6, also to cover up what these judges and DOJ are doing.
01:26:08.600So, Mr. Gross closes, public defender Carmen Hernandez filed a motion on Wednesday morning asking what law Chris Cooper and the DOJ could cite that enabled him to direct him not to use funds out of a fund he didn't create and he didn't donate to that American citizens have donated to.
01:26:29.280So, as I said, one in a very, very long list.
01:26:34.360And this is why we need public access to especially the D.C. courthouse.
01:26:39.840Julie Kelly's with us right now talking about the latest in these cases.
01:26:45.080And obviously we had Speaker of the House Mike Johnson say that he would release, and we heard this before, but he would release some of these, more of these videos, footage from that day.
01:27:00.480What have you seen that you think has made a difference, and is there any yet still to come?
01:27:07.920What's the impact going to be on all of this?
01:27:10.940Well, I think you saw the impact, Justin, not just from people on our side, many of whom have not seen the surveillance video.
01:27:17.740Of course, I was granted access to it.
01:27:20.040I have seen these videos of police officers standing by, allowing protesters into the building, fist bumping them, doing nothing to indicate that the building was closed or that they were somehow committing a crime.
01:27:33.620But most Americans have not seen this.
01:27:36.700So they were shocked and outraged that this is the first time they've seen this video.
01:27:42.480And then you saw the reverse reaction from the J6 propagandists in the media, people like Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, reposting well-worn clips of clashes between protesters and police that day, as if that is the only thing that happened.
01:27:59.040So they are panicking because the release of these tapes is gradually unraveling their carefully constructed narrative.
01:28:08.060Millions of Americans, including lawmakers and even senators like Mike Lee, are asking questions why this video has not been released and why the January 6th committee, of course, cherry-picked videos, as we know, only a focus on the alleged role of Donald Trump and not everything else that was happening that day.
01:28:27.580I do want to say that Speaker McCarthy's office has been working on this for months.
01:28:32.600I know for a fact that they've been trying to work on a platform that was easily accessible to the public because these videos just are not easily accessible.
01:28:41.320But I urge Speaker Johnson to accelerate the rate of release.
01:28:46.340These are, this is only a teeny tiny handful of clips.
01:28:49.620He needs to release a lot more on a rolling basis so we can continue the drumbeat to unravel this narrative and push for our own January 6th select committee that will do the actual work in exposing the truth.
01:29:06.080I want to ask you more about some of these that have been released, but also that committee and whether or not some of the stuff was destroyed.
01:29:15.060We've been hearing that maybe some of the evidence and videos may have been, some of that footage may have been destroyed.
01:29:19.380I want to see if there's any truth to that.
01:29:21.620We're talking with Julie Kelly right now.
01:32:58.760I believe that Representative Loudermilk's committee continues digging into what they have and what they don't have.
01:33:05.580And I think that that's a great effort.
01:33:07.540But look, it's time to turn the tables, which is why I detail in a recent Substack piece why the Republicans need to form their own J-6 committee,
01:33:17.280not the least of which is the videos, videos that are missing, videos like surveillance that have been under protective orders for almost three years.
01:33:36.880Where are the reports of police brutality and use of excessive force that day, which prompted many of the clashes that we saw?
01:33:44.560You have Liz Cheney, who just cherry picks protesters and police in these physical scuffles.
01:33:50.780But they don't show what police had done for an hour before those scuffles began, which is assault the crowd outside with flashbangs, tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper balls,
01:34:01.480which agitated the crowd outside, most of whom were doing absolutely nothing wrong.
01:34:05.980And were these rogue responses or were they orders coming down from somewhere else?
01:34:53.360Which, by the way, left his own officers out to dry as well.
01:34:56.980But someone ordered MPD, D.C. police to start firing on this crowd at about 1.10 that afternoon, which Justin just happened to coincide with the exact time that Donald Trump finished his speech at the Ellipse.
01:35:40.920We've heard that they're going to start going after people who maybe were around, maybe didn't do anything, just had somehow set foot somewhere in the crowd that day.
01:36:19.580But I first want to ask you about what have you heard about how they plan to start opening up?
01:36:25.020Because they want to bolster, from what I've seen and heard, maybe you've written about this too, is that they want to bolster these numbers and inflate them as much as they can the closer they get to the election here.
01:36:38.060And look, they've already been arresting people who never went inside the building.
01:36:41.380The very first article I wrote, entitled America's Political Prisoners, back in February of 2021, was the arrest of Coy Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump.
01:36:52.800He was arrested and denied release at request of Joe Biden's new DOJ.
01:36:58.920And he was charged with two misdemeanors.
01:37:01.340And he, I believe, had a permit, like many others did, to demonstrate on Capitol grounds during the joint session.
01:37:10.700So he was one of the very first who was charged.
01:37:18.680He was also one of the first arrested.
01:37:20.460Matthew Graves, the D.C. U.S. attorney appointed by Joe Biden, whose wife, by the way, going back to spouses, runs an extremely influential $100 million nonprofit in Washington.
01:37:33.360This nonprofit and she are very involved in the effort to remove Clarence Thomas from the Supreme Court.
01:37:39.840Matthew Graves told The Washington Post last year that he expected the total caseload to reach, extend beyond 2,000 individuals.
01:37:50.680At the time, it was less than half of that.
01:37:53.460Matthew Graves recently bragged in an update for the Capitol siege investigation as he rebranded it.
01:38:02.680You have new arrests announced every week, including this week.
01:38:06.600So they are desperately trying to reach that caseload, but also to keep this in the news as we approach Donald Trump's March 4th trial for January 6th.
01:38:43.320Justin, thanks for having me on YouTube.
01:38:45.780Glenn Beck covering this along with The Blaze.
01:38:48.960You know, this is a story, and they've got details and video that continues to come out that proves some of these folks, these Capitol Police officers,
01:38:57.160in fact, wasn't very powerful and perjured, lied on the stand.
01:39:01.680These reports are going to be significant.
01:39:04.900They're going to be critical, and The Blaze will continue to cover it all.
01:39:08.120As far as I'm concerned, I've been hearing all those reports and look forward to hearing more in the future.
01:39:12.520We continue to cover that, and a story you probably won't hear much about.
01:41:40.300The people in West Michigan have their stuff together, and it's a beautiful thing.
01:41:48.520We saw it all fall apart in the summer of 2020.
01:41:51.700So I can't imagine what is happening in Ireland, particularly Dublin, as we hear the story and see the videos coming out of what's buses on fire, buildings on fire.
01:42:07.760One of the green buses, the footage that's floating around on the Internet right now is completely engulfed in flames.
01:42:17.600The words out spray-painted on the bus.
01:42:20.480But the back and forth about what happened and who's responsible in some of this and where it all started breaks down to a story that is even more concerning.
01:42:32.920The media is spending this today as far-right activists have gone off the deep end.
01:42:46.220Well, where this originally started, where about five people, I think three of them were children, stabbed outside of a school.
01:42:57.300So now, apparently, if you are against, I saw this online, that's good.
01:43:38.640People are seeing through it, and they are fighting back.
01:43:42.140On the line with us now is Jonathan Dunn, a good friend.
01:43:46.400In fact, someone who used to work for Glenn and the Blaze here.
01:43:48.960He joins us now to talk about, in fact, just 15 minutes away from where he is, what has happened over the course of the last few days, and where things settle now.
01:44:00.540Jonathan, thank you, my brother, for being here with us today.
01:44:18.480This is what happens when I come back to Ireland for a visit.
01:44:21.000Yeah, you've been here in America for a while now and went back to take care of your mom and have been spending some time with family there.
01:44:30.800What I just said, can you cover it and clean it up?
01:44:33.520What I just said, can you break down what has happened and where things stand right now?
01:44:36.780Yeah, so what happens, here are the facts of the story, and then we can get into the underlying principles, which no one will ever want to discuss, because we don't want to have a discussion today.
01:44:48.260So the fact of the matter is that 1.30 local time yesterday, there was a school, got discharged.
01:44:53.680What we know is there was a person hanging around acting very suspicious, had a knife on him, and proceeded to stab three young kids.
01:45:01.040One is critical and is still, as right now, is still in critical care and is touch and go.
01:45:06.600One is a carer and one is the person involved.
01:45:09.820Information is very sketchy coming out from the police.
01:45:13.160They're not following any other lines of inquiry.
01:45:16.820We do know it's an immigrant, but because of the tensions that that brings up, they're not releasing a whole lot of information.
01:45:24.960Then last night, basically, the city went into a bit of craziness, and buses were, and the Lewis, which is like a train station, a train that runs on the ground, was basically destroyed and put on fire, and buildings were looted.
01:45:41.200Buildings were destroyed, and the estimates are coming already in a tens of millions of dollars worth of damage.
01:46:28.560They all believe, if you line down the far left and the far right, it's like, you know, the far left in America and some moderate Republicans.
01:47:31.080And while I believe in universal health care and universal school system and all these different plans, I believe they are for Irish people only.
01:47:38.180Or if I'm living in England, I believe they're for English people only.
01:47:42.080And what you have is the far left and the far right both want chaos.
01:48:00.100She follows the news, but she's not left or right.
01:48:02.760She probably doesn't know too much about the difference of it.
01:48:05.940But one thing I can tell you about my mom that would paint her as a far right person is she is one of the most proudest Irish people at Yulmese.
01:48:14.780She's like, you know, I'm Irish and, you know, I love the tricolour and I'm proud to be Irish and I'm so glad I was born here.
01:48:21.280That is radical thought right now to the far left.
01:48:24.540You know, if you say anything about all these immigrants that have come in to Ireland over the last year, 18 months, you've had the influx of the illegal immigration.
01:48:32.880You've had the influx of the Ukrainian immigration.
01:48:34.640You now have an influx probably potentially from Palestine and Israel.
01:48:38.200If you dare say, hey, should we question who comes into the country?
01:48:42.960Oh, what are you, racist and xenophobic?
01:48:45.940Oh, well, we'll take 10,000, but I say we should only take 5,000 people.
01:48:56.680And this is something we are going to have to deal with.
01:48:59.680Because what you're seeing right now is the total destruction of society.
01:49:03.780You said it perfectly beautifully in the intro, where you cannot have an opinion where, you know, if you dare say in Ireland, you know, a man has a penis and a girl has a vagina.
01:49:13.300In Ireland, that's called a hate crime.
01:52:15.340What are you looking for when you walk down the meat aisle at the grocery store?
01:52:18.920You're looking for some kind of real good meat that you can feed your family, right?
01:52:23.260You want something raised in America and you're looking for something close to expiring because that's the only way you can get a good price?
01:52:29.360If you are in this situation, what you put on your table matters.
01:52:34.060And that's why you should get your meat from good ranchers because you're going to cover all of those things.
01:52:38.58085% of the grass-fed beef is imported from overseas but not with good ranchers.
01:52:42.900They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken from local farms and ranches and from every box ordered.
01:52:48.820Good Ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need.
01:54:23.520I had to go through all immigration questions, basically answer every type of question known to man about my background, you know, my work experience and stuff like that.
01:54:42.880Because you are the person who needs to come to America.
01:54:46.220America, not somebody who just wants to come here for a free ride or even worse, but you're the kind of person who needs to be in this country because you love it.
01:55:09.240I will go down with this ship, and I will do everything I can to stand for the values that America made exceptional because I'm seeing the chaos.
01:55:34.560But we just can't stand up and hit back because then if everyone hits back, all we get is black eyes, everyone.
01:55:40.740What we need to do is stand up, and America is the only country that can say, we're going to stand up, but this is what we're going to stand for.
01:55:47.100We're going to stand for the Constitution.
