00:00:25.400 one of the biggest mistakes people make in politics is thinking that the election is the

00:00:30.960 finish line and it isn't it's the starting gun the hard part comes afterward because winning an

00:00:35.980 election doesn't actually automatically fix a culture it doesn't protect your rights it's uh

00:00:41.780 what does that is people staying involved and engaged people who understand that freedom isn't

00:00:45.860 a trophy you put on the shelf it's a responsibility that you have to maintain and that's what i love

00:00:49.820 about patriot mobile yes they provide excellent wireless service on all three major networks so

00:00:54.680 You can keep your phone, keep your number.

00:00:56.740 You have all the features you would expect from a modern carrier.

00:00:59.760 But what makes them different is they understand that the fight doesn't end on Election Day.

00:01:04.100 As America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, they put their business behind the causes that defend faith, family, and freedom and are God-given rights, supporting organizations that are doing that work day in and day out.

00:04:47.320 like SimpliSafe. All right, so in Politico yesterday, an ex-girlfriend of Graham Plattner

00:04:59.800 alleged that the Marine Senate hopeful broke into her home and raped her about five years ago.

00:05:08.920 Well, that was a dark period.

00:05:12.320 She came forward to Politico, recalling the alleged rape in graphic detail and providing

00:05:19.800 cooperation.

00:05:21.940 And she's done this before.

00:05:23.500 She did this at the New York Times, but the New York Times downplayed it.

00:05:27.360 She felt she really, after seeing what was happening in the New York Times and how the

00:05:31.960 New York Times handled her, but also the other woman who came out and said the same thing

00:05:38.400 and how the new york times handled this she said she needed to take one more stab at it and so she

00:05:44.400 did um now everybody is starting to jump ship on this guy i i i want to start with

00:05:52.160 you know let me go to the story first because i really want you to feel this story it was late

00:06:02.260 2021 in maine woman at home at night man she's dated on and off nothing serious the kind of

00:06:09.700 thing that fades he he says hey i want to come in he's hammered like blackout drunk hammered

00:06:16.260 lets himself into her house he's drunk she says stop stop he doesn't she kind of wrestles him

00:06:25.300 away she runs into the bedroom closes the door he comes into the bedroom and she said and that's 0.88

00:06:31.680 where he raped me she kept saying stop stop stop uh she said you know there is this single moment 0.90

00:06:40.760 uh she'll say years later where the thought finally formed in her mind there's this is no 0.98

00:06:46.220 longer my choice he might kill me just stop fighting he did now that's the accusation he says

00:06:54.700 no no no that wasn't uh-huh Graham Plattner is the guy and until this morning he was the

00:07:02.340 Democratic Party's nominee for the United States Senate he's an oyster farmer uh he's a marine

00:07:07.720 uh working class outsider who was going to retire Susan Collins and stick a thumb in the eye of

00:07:13.900 everybody he called an oligarchy he denies this he says it is false categorically untrue

00:07:19.860 time to the ballot deadline. I'm going to get to that here in a second. He denies it. That's

00:07:26.040 important. But I also want to tell you that the denial is not part of the story. It's not the

00:07:32.980 story, at least. The story is the year that came before this denial. Because this morning,

00:07:39.660 the moment the allegation hit, the people who built him began quietly and all at once

00:07:47.440 to set him down and walk away and the endorsements peeled off by the hour

00:07:52.500 and I want you to notice when they left not a year ago now

00:07:58.060 let me show you the file on this guy not the assault allegation set that aside unproven denied

00:08:06.300 you know everything else everything else that was known about this guy the tattoo on his chest

00:08:13.340 it's a death head a specific one the ss war on the caps of men who ran the death camps

00:08:20.860 he said i didn't know honestly guys you'll relate to this i don't know if women can relate to this

00:08:27.040 do you know a single guy who would have that tattoo and wouldn't know guys are fascinated by

00:08:32.840 old nazi movies and documentaries been watching them for our whole lives you didn't know

00:08:39.260 then an old acquaintance surfaced who remembered him showing it off years earlier and calling it

00:08:46.480 uh something he had pride with he said my token cough uh that means you know exactly what it was

00:08:54.760 but he covered it with a celtic celtic knot and then he moved on then were his then there were

00:09:01.880 his own words written and deleted telling women who had been assaulted to take some responsibility

00:09:09.040 and to act like an adult. There were the messages he sent to women who were not his wife. He had

00:09:15.440 just married a few months before. Then there were three former girlfriends describing something

00:09:22.600 volatile. One of them said that he had physically held her down. He denied that one too. He called

00:09:29.520 himself, in his own defense, far from a perfect boyfriend, and he blamed a dark period. Oh, it was

00:09:35.720 a dark period you know i've had dark periods in my life i've never beaten a woman or raped her

00:09:40.460 i've never held a woman down anyway every single time the men who had staked their names on him

00:09:48.740 looked at the file and made the same calculation he went through a dark period and he's not the

00:09:54.480 only one he's not the only one you know there might be one or two important issues here one

00:10:00.400 of his defenders sneered the critics only wanted only perfect candidates off the harvard law

00:10:05.720 conveyor belt as if an objection to a nazi tattoo and a trail of frightened ex-girlfriends were just

00:10:13.740 a matter of etiquette as if character were a luxury for people who you know could afford to

00:10:20.120 lose they all could read the file everyone could read the file it was sitting open on the table

00:10:26.920 the whole time they chose not to read it because they needed to win because he he might be able to

00:10:35.660 beat Collins because he could stop them them being whoever they need to be stopped at the time

00:10:41.660 and when the goal is big enough and the enemy is frightening frightening enough a man will hold a

00:10:48.060 document in his hands and decide yeah uh I'm gonna put this down for a minute because I don't need to

00:10:56.240 look in that document folder that is the whole machinery and we've talked about it for months

00:11:02.200 of ends justify the means it's not the people um it's not that people don't see people do see it

00:11:10.160 they see it and they price it in they look at the warning and they weigh it against the prize

00:11:17.420 and the prize is so big and so heavy so the warning gets rounded down to nothing to a dark

00:11:23.580 period to a mistake we've all made are you perfect to one or two less important issues i'm not hiring

00:11:30.440 the pope now watch them leave not because something finally became wrong it was wrong a year ago in

00:11:39.140 plain sight it's leave they're leaving now because it finally became fatal and i'm going to get to

00:11:44.920 why is it fatal now so you know this is not conscience arriving late this is all arithmetic

00:11:52.740 the number changed the answer changed they were never doing moral math they were doing electoral

00:12:00.620 math and calling it principle and the two happened to point the same direction until today when it

00:12:08.040 no longer points in the same direction so now where are you because this was never a story

00:12:16.700 about the senate seat in maine and if you let it stay one you're going to miss the entire thing

00:12:22.720 This is a story about the file that you keep.

00:12:30.300 What does that mean, Glenn?

00:12:33.380 Every one of us runs an opposition research on the people we want to believe in.

00:12:38.400 And when the folder turns up something that we don't like, we bury it ourselves.

00:12:43.260 We all do it.

00:12:45.440 We become the campaign burying its own file.

00:12:49.800 because the alternative is giving up something we've already decided

00:12:53.740 we are going to have.

00:12:56.020 At every single one of these turns, the same voice.

00:13:00.300 This is a smear.

00:13:01.640 This is out-of-state operatives.

00:13:03.820 They're threatened by us.

00:13:05.160 They hate us.

00:13:05.920 Don't listen to them.

00:13:10.500 I have to point out,

00:13:12.760 because I want you to hear at least part of that again.

00:13:15.160 i i want you to uh i want you to know we've heard this ourselves on our own side

00:13:22.220 but i want you to listen to this again here not as politics i want you to hear it as marriage

00:13:28.660 because that is exactly word for word what an abuser says your friends are jealous your family

00:13:36.640 never liked me they're threatened by what we have our love is special they want to take this from

00:13:43.180 you don't listen to them listen to me you know the truth and the terrible genius of it is that

00:13:51.360 the more warning signs pile up the harder the target clings and not despite the red flags but

00:13:59.300 because of them and it might be because now she's too far in to admit you know that everybody around

00:14:07.600 her was right the whole time see this is the pattern that's the next pattern i told you that

00:14:13.480 we would look for once you see the shape of it you'll see it absolutely everywhere it always

00:14:18.560 runs exactly the same way it starts with the love bombing you i chose you i serve you you're special

00:14:29.020 you know no one has ever understood you and your problems yeah people really have been bad to you

00:14:35.600 right i i get it i get it but we're gonna go someplace we're gonna do some things the world

00:14:41.980 has never seen before because i'm tired of them abusing you the largest movement in the history

00:14:51.400 of maine politics then the first violation it's small and you let it go because everybody's

00:15:02.060 imperfect i mean and look at how good this is going to be look at what we already built then

00:15:07.740 a bigger one but now you've got things invested so you explain it away then the isolation

00:15:14.940 he goes to work on the people you love one by one because they're still able to see things clearly

00:15:23.200 and clarity is the enemy he needs you surrounded by him and his friends so only his voice is the

00:15:31.060 voice left in the room. And by the time the big one lands, the one you can't explain, you're so

00:15:36.580 deep. It just doesn't even feel like you're ever going to be able to escape. It feels like

00:15:42.960 humiliation. I defended you to everyone. I gave a year of my life. If I walk out now, what does

00:15:52.100 that make me and so you stay and you tell yourself the excuse pick your excuse they're all

00:16:02.300 interchangeable too much invested too far gone too embarrassing to admit he's going to change

00:16:09.400 something's going to change it'll be worth it in the end i'll be the one who saves it

00:16:15.360 nobody in an abusive relationship believes they're in an abusive relationship they believe they're in

00:16:22.700 a hard relationship that they alone are strong enough to fix that somehow or another it's going

00:16:28.760 to change and the lies don't shrink watch this because this is the tell here in a healthy thing

00:16:36.940 when you get caught the offense gets smaller over time because you're actually correcting it

00:16:42.980 in an abusive thing the lies get bigger and they get more destructive to your life outside of his

00:16:51.120 world your job becomes effective your money your family your name because your world outside of him

00:16:59.500 is competition and it has to be burned down until he's all you've got left does any of this ring

00:17:07.960 true with politics at all? And he keeps saying, it's them, it's them. And if you spot a problem,

00:17:15.020 he says, I'm going to change. And it never changes. It only ever escalates. That's not a bug in the

00:17:21.740 pattern. That is the pattern. And at the end of the road, there's a word for what you have found

00:17:32.960 yourself in and the word is cult it's not a metaphor a cult is just an abusive relationship

00:17:41.780 scaled up to fill a crowd okay same isolation same enemies list same leader who's the only

00:17:49.720 source of truth notice that the only source of truth same members who have sunk so much of

00:17:58.380 themselves that walking away would mean their whole life was a lie and that person is going

00:18:06.700 to defend that lie a lot longer than they'll defend the truth because the truth doesn't

00:18:11.900 cost them anything and the lie costs them everything

00:18:17.440 there's got to be somebody within the sound of my voice who is listening who are just thinking

00:18:28.020 four words right now yeah but donald trump

00:18:32.420 that's how this becomes inevitable and let me explain because you need to know the lesson

00:18:40.920 from all of this more in just a second first let me tell you about our sponsor

00:18:46.880 our sponsor this half hour is rapid radios everybody's had this experience to send a

00:18:52.980 text you wait for a response you get nothing so you send another one then you try calling still

00:18:57.260 no answer. And then three hours later, a message pops up, says, Hey, sorry, I just saw this.

00:19:01.700 Yeah. Well, when you're trying to coordinate something that actually really matters,

00:19:05.960 you can't have your communication depending on somebody seeing their phone. That's why I like

00:19:11.360 rapid radios. Whether you're keeping in touch with your family, managing a job site, camping,

00:19:55.360 90. So here's the lesson here, and it's not about politics.

00:20:12.100 It's going to cost you something to actually take. A warning sign is not an obstacle standing

00:20:19.260 between you and the thing that you want. That's how you view it. A warning sign. It's an obstacle

00:20:27.340 standing between me and what I want. No, it is information about the thing you want. It's not a

00:20:35.520 warning sign, something standing in between what you want. It's a warning sign about what you want.

00:20:40.960 the red flag is not in the way of the prize the red flag is a fact about the prize

00:20:48.500 you know if you excuse it to get the reward you don't get the reward minus one flaw you get the

00:20:55.780 flaw and the reward comes later to collect what you owe

00:21:00.700 character is not a line item that you subtract subtract from the benefits character is the thing

00:21:12.620 you're actually buying everything else is packaging the oldest lie ever told to any

00:21:19.100 human being is the ends justify the means because the means don't stay means the means are what you

00:21:26.400 build your life out of you don't get a good outcome by tolerating bad character and hoping

00:21:32.000 it stays sealed in a four or folder you get bad character every single time the outcome you were

00:21:40.780 promised turns out to have been the debate or sorry the bait when a family member at thanksgiving

00:21:49.860 the one who you know loves you the one with nothing to gain says quietly i'm worried about you

00:21:55.420 i'm worried about what this is doing to you do we listen human nature is most times nope

00:22:05.540 what we normally do is decide they've been captured they've been fooled they're not

00:22:14.420 really your family anymore we push them away one more person who could still see clearly

00:22:19.460 do we stay with our parties and our candidates because it's true or do we stay because we're

00:22:29.520 too far in and leaving would be embarrassing that's the question i can't have everybody 1.00

00:22:36.020 who's been telling me this be right in the end wow what stupid pride that is 1.00

00:22:43.080 this is the same question women in abusive marriage in an abusive marriage can't can't 0.99

00:22:51.100 make herself ask because the answer is too expensive so how do you break the spell well

00:22:57.860 you don't yell at the person under it because you cannot argue somebody out of a cult you just

00:23:05.360 become one more jealous hater in the story that he's told them you have to break it the way you

00:23:11.620 do in real life. So how do you break that in real life? Cause I got news for you. What's happening

00:23:18.640 with our political system is real life and we're in abusive relationships. Plattner. I mean, boy,

00:23:26.900 you want to talk about Democrats just dodging a bullet. Uh, that would be this one. So how do you

00:23:34.300 do it next oh by the way did you hear mitch mcconnell's brain dead more on that in just a

00:23:51.560 second at least that's what they say uh lifelock cyber criminals they don't break in through the

00:23:56.980 front door they find the side door that you forgot to lock that's how they've always operated they

00:24:02.340 don't need you to make a huge mistake they just need one little opening one compromised password

00:24:08.160 one piece of personal information that'll fall into the wrong hands and before you know it

00:25:05.100 gives you the tools to teach your family

00:25:06.720 how to save the republic.

00:25:08.340 Join our mission today at torch250.com.

00:25:29.380 So, may I ask you, is it a complete coincidence that this is coming out at a time where you

00:25:50.700 can't run a new primary uh and you're just about seven days away for the the party to be able to

00:26:01.240 pick hand pick a new candidate for maine now color me skeptical

00:26:08.400 but who's supposed to choose your representatives the people or the party because look what's

00:26:17.920 happening here the democrats are going to replace most likely if he's out by next tuesday and he

00:26:25.860 will be otherwise democrats don't have a choice the democrats can replace him

00:26:32.420 after just a few weeks after the primary already chose him because these these new allegations are

00:26:41.460 so serious they're just the old allegations they just you know now you just have to believe them

00:26:46.680 for some reason. They have to be investigated, but he should not be a U.S. senator. But who is

00:26:52.960 picking this? Who's picking this? When did the parties know that there was real trouble?

00:27:01.540 If there were warning signs before the primary, why wasn't it dealt with then?

00:27:06.120 Why ask millions of people to vote first and then sort it out?

00:27:09.260 again i'm a cynic but the calendar is strategy if he steps down now before next tuesday there's

00:27:19.580 no new primary the voters don't get another you know another chance party officials get to choose

00:27:26.520 the replacement it's legal it's not healthy at all but it's legal healthy and legal are different

00:27:36.840 questions. But we've seen this before. Joe Biden, the decline, that didn't happen overnight.

00:27:42.640 Everyone knew it. Americans watched it unfold for months. Everyone knew it, no matter what they say.

00:27:50.300 After the primary was over, the nominee changes. The voters who had already cast their ballots

00:27:56.020 didn't get another chance. Would they have picked Kamala Harris? No. The party made that decision. 0.99

00:28:03.200 the party made that decision

00:28:07.220 this is how self-government changes

00:28:15.220 not with tanks in the streets

00:28:17.320 it's just one exception at a time

00:28:19.640 one emergency, one procedural work around

00:28:22.100 trust us, we're going to pick this person for you

00:28:25.120 you know, we spend an awful lot of time

00:28:27.980 worrying about the dictator that might come someday

00:28:30.640 But history teaches us something entirely different.

00:28:36.260 Freedom isn't surrendered to a tank in one dramatic moment.

00:28:40.100 It's usually traded away a little bit at a time.

00:28:43.940 One rule, one deadline, one party meeting, one carefully managed process.

00:28:50.540 Until the people realize, I mean, you're still voting, but you're just choosing from a list that somebody else already decided.

00:29:00.640 You think the Fed is a game? Look at what the Democrats do. Look at how they're selecting the primary candidate for you now. This is the second time they've done it. And you know what? I would say third, because they also chose Hillary Clinton. They were not going to allow Bernie Sanders to win.

00:29:21.360 They keep saying they're for, you know, we're for democracy.

00:29:24.940 We're for democracy.

00:29:26.140 We're for fair and open votes.

00:29:27.820 Oh, they're going to give you, you little plebe.

00:29:32.580 They're going to give you the chance to pick from somebody the elites have already chosen.

00:29:38.400 You just pick from that person.

00:29:41.140 I mean, you can pick the person we just picked for you.

00:29:44.020 Or you could pick the Antichrist himself.

00:29:47.640 Fill in the blank on Republican.

00:29:50.880 Now, let me switch parties here.

00:29:53.980 Let me go with Mitch McConnell.

00:30:00.320 Everybody's favorite turtle.

00:30:03.460 Schrodinger's turtle?

00:30:04.640 Is that what it is?

00:30:05.340 Because I'm not sure.

00:30:06.300 Is he alive or dead?

00:30:08.060 It's in the box.

00:30:09.240 I think we only will know when we open the box and see.

00:30:15.920 Here are the rumors, and they're rumors.

00:30:19.160 If they're true, they're tragic.

00:30:20.600 If the rumors are false, you know, then somebody needs to step up and tell the American people the truth.

00:30:25.980 Either way, this is not how a constitutional republic is supposed to function.

00:30:30.720 For three weeks now, the people of Kentucky have had almost no meaningful information about the condition of a man they elected to represent them.

00:30:41.660 His office has issued really carefully worded statements.

00:30:48.000 He's recovering.

00:30:48.780 he appreciates everyone's support they don't say what happened they don't say when he's going to

00:30:54.800 return they don't answer even the basic question every citizen has a right to can he still do the

00:31:01.040 job is he still thinking and this is not a cruel question but the guy is a sitting senator and it's

00:31:10.620 a question that matters because this is bigger than mitch mcconnell we watched america do this

00:31:17.860 with president biden everybody could see their own eyes something seriously wrong yet they were told

00:31:24.340 not to believe their own eyes don't he's fine don't ask questions it's irresponsible to notice

00:31:32.240 reality and here we are again except not with the democrats republicans republicans are now

00:31:39.300 the mirror image of the people they criticized you know if you're if your party has spent

00:31:45.640 years demanding honesty about the president's health you kind of have an obligation to demand

00:31:51.700 honesty about your own leader in your own gop i try not to be about left versus right i mean

00:32:04.800 i know i'm biased and i admit that i am biased but this is not about left or right this is about

00:32:12.320 representation you know our founders fought a revolution over the idea that government derives

00:32:17.980 its just powers from the consent of the governed consent requires representation representation

00:32:25.880 requires somebody who is actually capable of representing you i mean we saw with what was it 0.91

00:32:31.740 barbara boxer who was an absolute vegetable in the end but her staff just told her what to do

00:32:37.960 that's not represent i didn't elect the staff

00:32:41.200 you know i think we have something new no taxation without representation

00:32:46.980 maybe it's time to add another one to that no legislation without representation

00:32:56.700 you know history i i'm old enough to remember history and a dangerous dangerous lesson that

00:33:04.560 we used to make fun of. When I was a kid, we used to make fun of this. The old Soviet Union

00:33:10.420 used to hide the condition of their leaders. And what happens? Citizens begin to lose faith

00:33:17.780 in the institution. Woodrow Wilson suffered a devastating stroke in 1919. For months,

00:33:26.040 his wife effectively controlled the government. She was the president. She would take his hand, 0.75

00:33:32.940 put it in hers put the pen in her hand put her hand over his and then sign Woodrow Wilson like

00:33:40.440 that little loophole made it right in her head okay nobody knew about this King George III

00:33:49.000 mental decline it created a constitutional crisis because no one wanted to admit the king could no

00:33:55.180 longer govern the Soviet Union when I was growing up oh my gosh these guys were dropping like flies

00:34:00.780 they would just disappear from public view and they would say he's got a cold and it became a

00:34:08.520 joke here he's like no he doesn't have a cold he's dead nobody trusted what the government said

00:34:14.820 because the government had trained its people not to because they kept dying and nobody would say

00:34:21.060 he's got a cold a week later he died of the cold what a surprise what a surprise what's happening

00:34:27.180 in iran who's in charge in iran well uh the ayatollah is well the ayatollah's son we've

00:34:34.500 just buried the ayatollah but don't worry his son is of course you can't see him there's no

00:34:39.960 pictures of him there's no videos of him he's just nowhere to be found that's not a way a healthy

00:34:46.720 country operates first of all if you're a republic a republic tells the truth has to healthy republics

00:34:54.800 tell the truth. Healthy republics understand that the elected office belongs to the people

00:34:59.940 and not the politician or his staff. If a senator is temporarily unable to serve, tell us.

00:35:09.240 If a president can't perform the duties of office, tell us. If there's uncertainty,

00:35:16.280 tell us there's uncertainty. But can somebody, for the love of Pete, treat Americans like we're

00:35:23.360 adults. No, because Washington now treats public office like private property. Seats are nothing

00:35:34.360 more than trophies to be protected. Power becomes something that you have to preserve.

00:35:42.740 Just one more vote, one more committee hearing, one more political advantage. That's all we have

00:35:47.000 to do. We just compromise this one time. That's how trust dies. That's why so many people believe

00:35:52.340 washington protects itself before it protects them could you get away with not telling your

00:35:58.900 employer that you were brain dead you know your employer's waiting for you to come back and your 0.98

00:36:05.900 wife like your wife knows you're brain dead there's we're turning the machine off soon 0.99

00:36:09.980 you're brain dead and your wife is like no he could be in next tuesday he's getting better 1.00

00:36:16.160 every time. Would you think that's not just wildly dishonest? Here's why I say this. The office 1.00

00:36:24.660 doesn't belong to Mitch McConnell. It didn't belong to Joe Biden. It doesn't belong to any

00:36:31.040 politician. It belongs to the people, the people of Kentucky, and in Joe Biden's situation,

00:36:37.440 the people of the United States of America. The Constitution was never designed to protect your

00:36:43.420 career. He was designed to protect the Republic. Mitch McConnell is so, I mean, he has been

00:36:50.280 violating his oath of office for so long. Of course, one of his final acts would be to

00:36:55.780 violate the Constitution. When politicians or parties place the agenda above

00:37:05.140 actually doing their job and representing us,

00:37:08.840 they're asking us to surrender the real

00:37:13.120 the only principle that made this

00:37:15.100 country possible

00:37:16.400 in the first place

00:37:18.220 decency

00:37:22.900 honesty transparency

00:37:24.400 I hope

00:37:27.000 he's not brain dead 0.90

00:37:28.000 but you know

00:37:29.860 if he is they should announce that right now

00:37:33.120 they owe it

00:37:38.840 If he's not, I mean, that could happen at any time.

00:37:45.020 Why won't these guys retire?

00:37:48.600 I know the answer.

00:37:51.300 Power.

00:37:53.100 The same reason why people, you know, on Plattner's side,

00:37:56.520 same reason why Stephen King today is saying,

00:38:00.560 oh, no, don't worry about Plattner.

00:38:02.280 No, he's still fine.

00:38:03.960 Let me tell you something. 1.00

00:38:04.780 Women, listen to me. 1.00

00:38:06.540 i know they've been trying to say that this is about you know we're we're the ones that

00:38:11.820 supporting women we care about women it's not about women it's not about women not it's about

00:38:18.460 power the women who accused donald trump became very famous they were in vanity fair and everywhere

00:38:25.560 the women who have just said this about graham platner the new york times tries to smear or

00:38:31.500 delete or minimize at very best. It's not about you. These people don't believe in anything but

00:38:38.640 their power. They're using you. The question is, is anybody going to wake up? Because it's the same

00:38:51.080 game being played over and over and over again, and we're never going to get to the next level

00:38:55.660 until we solve this level. All right, back in just a second, let me tell you about the

00:39:00.020 burner launcher in real life almost always uh you know most people aren't looking for a fight when

00:39:05.380 a dangerous situation presents itself you're just looking for a way to get home i mean i just want

00:39:10.340 to go home really really if somebody threatens you your goal is not to win some hollywood showdown

00:39:16.980 your goal is to create enough time and distance to get away from the source of the danger that's

00:39:22.040 why i'm such a fan of burner burner less lethal watch options uh and launchers uh give you the

00:39:28.220 options that you need that sit between harsh words and deadly force they fire a powerful chemical

00:39:34.220 irritant and it's a projectile stop an attacker from 60 feet away it gives you the opportunity

00:39:39.100 to escape and call for some help legal in all 50 states no background check no permit to own

00:40:17.180 Glenn Beck.

00:40:26.800 most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways we lock the doors we install

00:40:34.380 the cameras but there's another way that your home can be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone

00:40:38.760 stepping foot in your property it is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what

00:40:43.460 it sounds like criminals forge documents they file them with the county they transfer ownership

00:40:48.540 of your home into their name and then once all that happens they can attempt to take out loans

00:40:54.220 against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is, like, you don't

00:40:59.060 really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically

00:41:03.080 protect you from this, and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need

00:41:07.860 home title lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal

00:41:12.500 fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem. Something suspicious

00:42:10.040 Hey, you know, we're doing our Bill of Rights all summer long. We're up to the Fifth Amendment,

00:42:15.320 and it might be something

00:42:18.120 for Plattner. Maybe we should send

00:42:20.080 this to Plattner. He should learn this. He should probably

00:42:22.080 learn this. Here it is,

00:42:24.060 the Fifth Amendment from our Bill of Rights series.

00:42:26.380 Listen, just a little bit of it.

00:42:27.980 I don't have to say

00:42:30.040 a thing. I plead the fifth

00:42:32.160 when they start

00:42:33.940 their questioning. I plead

00:42:36.220 the fifth. It's my

00:42:38.080 right inside the law

00:42:39.800 to plead the fifth to protect

00:42:42.020 my voice, my words, my thoughts.

00:42:44.320 You don't have to say a thing. Don't say anything. Just don't say anything. I would just recommend

00:42:52.500 don't say anything. Plead the Fifth. It's a great song. If you listen to all of the First

00:43:01.600 Amendment songs, the Second Amendment, you know, the Bill of Rights, you and your kids will learn

00:43:07.660 the Bill of Rights, and they each come with a lesson plan, a conversation that you can have

00:43:12.380 with your kids, no matter how old they are, so they can learn the Bill of Rights.

00:43:16.880 It's really critical that we teach this, so please teach it to your kids now.

00:43:36.780 All right, coming up next, we're going to talk a little bit about Iran,

00:43:41.040 What's going on with Iran?

00:43:42.560 What is happening all over the world when it comes to war?

00:43:48.400 Ukraine comes to mind as well.

00:43:50.880 What is happening in Ukraine?

00:43:53.460 And have you heard the price of oil?

00:43:55.780 OPEC is saying might go down to $40 a barrel.

00:44:00.860 Good thing?

00:44:04.440 Depends on your perspective and the information level that you have.

00:44:08.360 Let me raise your information level next.

00:44:13.860 One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself.

00:44:21.600 You're still in the room.

00:44:22.800 You're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.

00:44:27.740 And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit.

00:44:31.000 And you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore.

00:44:35.720 What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial.

00:44:39.600 It's the process.

00:44:40.720 It's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price tag that makes you go, what?

00:44:47.440 So people wait, and you shouldn't have to.

00:44:50.300 Audion was built to remove those barriers.

00:46:07.600 hello america welcome to the glenn beck program there's a lot going on today what a surprise

00:46:19.500 welcome to earth a lot going on uh with war ukraine russia what is happening there

00:46:27.520 NATO is meeting in Turkey, what's happening with Iran.

00:46:31.840 I've got a few insights on this, and one of the bigger stories that I saw yesterday

00:46:35.860 that I really wanted to explain to you is OPEC is now afraid that they're not going

00:46:43.840 to be able to keep the price of oil up because there are others that produce oil in the Middle

00:46:50.860 East that want to break OPEC up, and I would love to see that cartel broken up, but

00:46:57.520 They're now saying that gas or oil could go down to $40 a barrel.

00:47:02.760 I don't think I've seen $40 a barrel since maybe the 1970s.

00:47:08.740 Maybe.

00:47:10.580 We should look that up.

00:47:12.120 It's been a very, very, very long time.

00:47:14.340 You're talking about $40 a barrel.

00:47:17.280 I don't even know.

00:47:17.880 A dollar and a quarter?

00:47:19.400 A gallon of gas?

00:47:20.460 That sounds really good, right?

00:47:22.840 Right.

00:47:23.580 Let's understand how this works first.

00:47:25.940 because there's a top end and a low end that become dangerous.

00:47:29.900 And I'll explain coming up in just a minute.

00:47:32.680 First, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:47:36.420 You know, some people ask, how fast can we get this done?

00:47:39.320 Other people say, are we doing it the right way?

00:47:41.260 And they sound similar, but they're very, very, very different questions.

00:47:44.580 When you're buying or selling a home, speed is nice,

00:47:47.080 but getting it done right is essential.

00:47:49.300 You know, you want somebody who's asking the questions

00:47:51.980 that you didn't even think to ask.

00:47:54.540 Is this price realistic?

00:47:55.600 what's happening in the neighborhood? Is there something in the contract that needs to be

00:47:59.740 negotiated? Are we about to miss something really important? This is why I started real estate

00:48:04.440 agents. I trust.com. I wanted to build a network of people who don't just open doors and fill out

00:48:09.300 forms. I wanted agents who think, who think ahead, who see problems before they become expensive and

00:48:15.520 who know that their job is, you know, uh, not just to get to the closing table, but to help you make

00:48:21.600 the decision you're going to feel good about years from now. So check out realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:48:32.980 The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:48:39.060 All right, I want to start with gas. Before we get to the world, let me explain.

00:48:43.120 uh right now um there have been some forces that want to break up

00:48:50.500 opec and i'm all for it myself but um

00:48:55.220 there's about to be a glut of oil i can't believe i'm saying this about to be a glut of oil

00:49:04.860 so we're going to have the opposite problem remember the problem was if we go into iran

00:49:10.600 we're going to have $300 a barrel oil and it collapsed the economy. Yeah, that would do it

00:49:15.560 overnight. $150 barrel of oil, that does it in about three weeks. But so does $40 a barrel oil,

00:49:27.000 $30 barrel oil. I mean, everybody loves cheaper gasoline. I do. But there is a number when

00:49:34.100 cheap becomes dangerous. And I want you to think about Goldilocks, okay? One bowl of porridge,

00:49:42.120 too hot. One bowl, too cold. One bowl was just right. The oil market works exactly the same way,

00:49:50.340 okay? If oil is $150 plus a barrel, you can't afford to drive. Airlines suffer,

00:49:57.620 trucking companies suffer, food prices rise, because everything that you buy rides on a

00:50:02.520 diesel truck or a train before it leaves the store or before it reaches the store. And so too

00:50:08.040 expensive, $150 is too high. There's another side. Nobody ever talks about this side. Oil can become

00:50:16.980 too cheap. Now, how the heck is that possible? Imagine owning, uh, I don't know, an apple

00:50:27.020 orchard every apple costs you about four bucks to grow okay that's your land the water the

00:50:34.660 fertilizer what you pay people for workers the spraying down the equipment all of that

00:50:40.700 then the market suddenly decides apples are only worth two dollars well you don't celebrate and go

00:50:48.920 oh i'm going to sell so many apples no because remember it costs you more than that to grow the

00:50:55.440 apple. So you go bankrupt. That's exactly what happens with oil. Oil doesn't magically appear

00:51:02.180 in your gas tank. It takes a lot of money. Companies spend years looking for oil. They

00:51:07.940 lease the land, they drill wells, you know, that can, can cost millions and millions of dollars.

00:51:14.260 And sometimes they just drill, um, you know, holes and lose everything. They have to maintain

00:51:20.860 the pipelines, the workers, the repair equipment, the transport of every single barrel. I mean,

00:51:27.140 it's pretty amazing when you think they're going to pump oil out of the ground in Saudi Arabia,

00:51:32.340 they're going to ship it to wherever they're going to process. They put it into a barrel,

00:51:37.300 they put that onto a ship and they ship it halfway across the world and it's $40 for that barrel.

00:51:42.460 That's pretty amazing. I mean, try to buy a decent pair of jeans for $30, $40 a barrel,

00:51:49.140 sixty dollars a pair of jeans now if oil falls below what it costs to produce the companies

00:51:56.800 stop drilling and the wells eventually dry up do you know why we don't make oil out of shale we

00:52:03.580 have plenty of shale for oil um and reagan was going on this big shale oil kick and he was like

00:52:12.660 we're just going to make our shale well i think and i don't quote me on this you'll have to check

00:52:17.020 it but i think the number is like 60 a barrel break even is 60 a barrel for for shale oil you

00:52:22.660 have to go into the mountain you have to get the shale then you have to turn it into oil and then

00:52:26.000 you do all the processing on that put it in the barrel and ship it to wherever it's like 60 to do

00:52:31.340 that so if i'm not mistaken opec decided to shut us down by dropping the number to like i don't

00:52:42.720 remember, $50 a barrel. And so they put a glut out and they dropped it. And they can afford to drop

00:52:49.920 it because they know they're going to win in the end. They'll put all of their competition out of

00:52:54.520 business. And so they dropped the price of oil. And so now it was just too expensive for shale.

00:53:01.060 And so what happens? We had to shut the shale plants down. We had to shut the whole shale thing.

00:53:06.400 It wasn't the environmentalists, at least not the environmentalists alone. It was the fact that we

00:53:11.520 couldn't afford to do it, at least at that time. And so when that happens, what happens here in

00:53:17.140 America? I mean, this is why don't celebrate, don't celebrate $40 a barrel because worker,

00:53:26.600 have you watched a land man? Remember how, how the character in land man explain this? Yeah.

00:53:34.240 That's what everyone loses their jobs. All the workers lose their job. Entire towns disappear.

00:53:41.520 so then what well not every country produces oil for the same cost saudi arabia has the cheapest

00:53:50.580 oil in the world you know what it costs them to take it out of the ground and ship it halfway

00:53:54.100 across the world they can pull a barrel out of the ground for well under twenty dollars a barrel

00:54:01.280 twenty dollars a barrel but shale like i said is different much of texas north dakota new mexico

00:54:08.340 they need prices that are significantly higher to justify new drilling some wells can make money

00:54:15.580 at around 40 a barrel but the new projects most of them are closer to 50 60 and even more depending

00:54:24.380 on the field and the financing so 40 a barrel is not just cheap gasoline it's layoffs okay

00:54:33.020 it's drilling rigs shut down it's restaurants in midland texas with empty tables it's welding

00:54:39.260 shops clothing uh closing it's truck dealerships with nobody buying because every drilling rig

00:54:45.540 supports hundreds of other jobs one roughneck loses his paycheck then the waitress loses the

00:54:51.500 customers then the hardware store sells less the local bank gets nervous and it spreads throughout

00:54:56.560 the whole community. We are dependent on one another. And Texas has lived this story several

00:55:02.820 times before. I lived in Texas in the crash of the 1980s, the great oil crash of the 1980s.

00:55:09.240 And the office buildings were complete. It was a ghost town. It was a ghost town. The office

00:55:15.540 buildings were empty. The banks failed. The families, you know, were packing everything

00:55:23.480 they owned up into a pickup truck

00:55:25.240 because there was nowhere to work

00:55:27.540 in Texas

00:55:28.080 oil isn't just another business in Texas

00:55:31.400 oil is the

00:55:33.560 heartbeat of entire

00:55:35.300 regions of Texas

00:55:37.080 now look east

00:55:39.040 Russia's watching this price

00:55:41.340 really really carefully as well

00:55:43.560 because Russia depends

00:55:45.100 on oil and gas to

00:55:47.320 support its government

00:55:48.780 which supports its people

00:55:50.940 so they take the oil and they sell

00:55:53.400 and think of oil in Russia as a paycheck, okay?

00:55:57.220 Every drop in that price shrinks the paycheck

00:55:59.840 of the federal government, and that's really important.

00:56:03.260 When prices stay low long enough,

00:56:05.980 Moscow has fewer rubles to pay for their soldiers,

00:56:09.360 fewer rubles to build things, to, you know,

00:56:12.620 build tanks, to replace missiles.

00:56:16.640 That's an advantage to us.

00:56:19.840 Fewer rubles to be able to finance their economy 0.98

00:56:23.100 and subsidize everything that doesn't mean russia immediately collapses but it means it's headed in

00:56:28.220 that direction countries can borrow they can also cut spending but a long period of oil prices that

00:56:37.400 are 40 that would squeeze russia exactly where it hurts and it's not good for them not good for them

00:56:45.480 history tells us this matters it was the low energy price a lot according to a lot of historians

00:56:53.760 low energy prices in the 1980s one of the pressures that weakened the soviet union

00:56:59.200 energy imports or exports were the soviet government's atm they needed to have that

00:57:06.340 and when the cash dried up the entire system began to crack okay so let me go back to opec

00:57:12.080 because this is where OPEC comes back in, okay?

00:57:15.100 People think OPEC controls the prices.

00:57:18.120 They don't.

00:57:19.140 I mean, they do, not completely.

00:57:21.740 Think of OPEC like the manager

00:57:24.620 of a really crowded movie theater.

00:57:26.660 If too many tickets are sold, then what happens?

00:57:30.800 The theater is uncomfortable, unusable.

00:57:33.020 If too few tickets are sold, the theater loses money.

00:57:36.840 Their job is to keep attendance in the sweet spot.

00:57:39.860 so when the when the prices fall too far far OPEC cuts production not because they hate consumers

00:57:47.800 although they're not doing us any favor but they do know that if producers go bankrupt today there

00:57:53.420 won't be oil tomorrow and then the prices don't go to 40 they go to 140 okay the oil market is

00:58:03.100 just this giant pendulum pendulum and it's just too high too low too high too low too high too

00:58:07.880 low oh it's it's exhausting but the healthiest economy doesn't live at either extreme too high

00:58:15.540 or too low it lives right smack in the middle high enough that people keep investing low enough

00:58:22.060 so families can still fill their tanks because the cheapest i mean $1.25 that would be sweet

00:58:31.160 until you saw how many of your neighbors are going to be unemployed and the most profitable

00:58:38.080 oil company in the world. You know, it doesn't help much if working families can't afford to

00:58:43.820 drive to work. So like everything in the, in economics, stability is worth more than the

00:58:50.720 extremes. I will tell you that, uh, uh, I want to give you some broad strokes on a conversation I

00:58:59.220 head with the president on Friday. Um, cause we talked about oil, the economy, um, and, um,

00:59:08.460 uh, and Iran. And I don't want to quote him. I don't have permission to quote him, but I can

00:59:14.800 give you some idea of how I felt of what he was saying.

00:59:20.540 my feeling is

00:59:26.320 he went into this war knowing that oil would not be $300 a barrel remember that's what everybody's

00:59:35.920 saying 150 to $350 per barrel and he looked at that and he looked at the advisors that were

00:59:41.780 saying that and said that's not true it's not going to happen and I think that's because he

00:59:45.640 knew how he was going to fight it. And he, he knew there are ways to get around that. So we're

00:59:50.520 not going to have that. And he was right about that. And so he went in and he fought it with

00:59:56.400 everything he could. Um, and I want to, I want to stick, I want to make sure I separate my feelings

01:00:06.280 with what I felt he said. Um, so he knew that was happening and he knew that we were not going

01:00:15.780 to have a great depression because oil was going to be $300 a barrel. But my impression is some

01:00:22.800 new information came to him here recently and was like, okay, that's about as far as you can push it

01:00:29.620 in this phase um and if you continue to do it like he was doing it we will go into a depression

01:00:39.880 and i will tell you the president has said to me before i will not be herbert hoover he's very

01:00:46.700 clear on the lessons of other presidents and he's like i am not going to push this country into a

01:00:52.140 depression um and i think i think them some new information and i don't know what it is but i

01:00:57.200 think some new information came to him um and said look if you don't stop uh and change this

01:01:03.780 pattern we could go into a global depression and uh he did not want that for the american people

01:01:10.420 or for you know uh the rest of the world quite honestly you know you could even be you could

01:01:17.480 really even say he was being selfish he just didn't want to do it for him whatever we get

01:01:21.440 the benefit of not going into a depression so that's why it looks like you're not going to get

01:01:32.580 the deal that you want but i will tell you after talking to him is this too cryptic jason are you

01:01:39.660 following this um it is my impression that you are going to get what you want because he's going

01:01:46.640 continue to take them out he will continue to bomb them i mean he i i i feel comfortable saying

01:01:53.240 this he told me oh they will comply glenn they will come to the table they will fold 1.00

01:01:59.920 yeah what makes you say that because i'll kill them i just keep dropping bombs and i'll kill 1.00

01:02:08.760 all of their leaders he said to me i'm not going to blow up the bridges or their infrastructure 1.00

01:02:12.780 that would be bad for them and bad for us but their leaders they will comply he's not changing

01:02:20.680 the end what he's changing his end goal what he's changing is the tactic because he is

01:02:27.120 concerned about a global depression for some reason if we didn't change our tactic

01:02:33.180 yeah i don't think it's too cryptic at all i think that there's a lot of stuff that they can

01:02:39.540 tell us about and there's a lot of stuff they can't tell us about what i do know is what's odd

01:02:43.820 now or just what's interesting to analyze or important to analyze is right now two of the

01:02:49.620 largest oil producing countries in the world are currently under duress not only under duress but

01:02:57.100 their oil production is specifically being targeted ukraine is now just a few days ago hit one of

01:03:02.460 their biggest refineries in far eastern russia russia is under severe strain right now with

01:03:09.480 their oil production and we all know about iran that's two huge countries and opec the cartel

01:03:14.820 is also under duress because they are having defections opec uh left uh our uh uae left opec

01:03:23.920 and i could see that coming down so what we see going forward in the future i don't feel like is

01:03:29.700 going to be at all what we've seen over the past what 50 years or so everything is about to change

01:03:36.360 uh what it looks like i have no idea but everything is about change

01:03:40.220 so i want to go back to russia let me take a quick break and i want to go back to russia

01:03:45.680 because there's a big nato alliance um meeting in turkey oh it's in turkey why they're a nato

01:03:51.680 member is beyond me but um and i want to go there next because something is happening big with nato

01:03:56.920 and ukraine that we really need to pay attention to let me tell you first about z factor when you

01:04:02.600 wake up after a terrible night's sleep, you know, before your feet even hit the floor, you already

01:04:07.480 know what kind of day it's going to be. You're less focused. Things would, you know, that wouldn't

01:04:11.100 normally bother you suddenly feel like a very big deal. By two o'clock, you're running on caffeine

01:04:15.880 willpower, and you're already looking forward to going back to bed. I have to tell you, because I

01:04:20.320 was out giving a speech late last night, I didn't get to sleep until one. I got up at four this

01:04:25.400 morning. I mean, about three, three and a half hours of sleep. I am exhausted. That can happen

01:04:31.540 not because you're running all the time, but, you know, it can happen because you went to bed

01:04:36.480 at eight o'clock and you just couldn't fall asleep. That's the most frustrating. And that's

01:04:41.100 what Z-Factor is for. It's a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, and it'll help

01:05:05.240 10 seconds, station ID.

01:05:20.700 So, Jason.

01:05:27.860 Um, in my conversations, uh, this weekend with the president about some of the different things

01:05:35.780 going on, um, it's, it's my impression that the one bringing to the table, uh, in Ukraine,

01:05:45.060 the one that's going to be hard is not Russia. The one that's going to be hard to bring to the

01:05:52.140 table is going to be Zelensky because first of all, I think he's a little dictator wannabe

01:05:56.900 himself he's a little napoleon but also they're doing very very well right now are they not 0.82

01:06:02.940 ukraine is doing shockingly well they're they're the drone capability that they have developed

01:06:08.520 is quite frankly amazing and the time and the time and situation they are in to develop it is

01:06:14.040 amazing but i would not be surprised if i mean why would he come to the table when they're looking at

01:06:19.600 the potential of taking crimea back are the eastern regions within ukraine that that's

01:06:24.180 a reality they actually could have do you believe that yes i i do depending on russia's escalation

01:06:32.760 uh i saw a geopolitical conversation the other day about them possibly using tactical nukes

01:06:37.420 that's how dire they're about to get that'll never happen that'll never donald trump

01:06:43.080 he will never allow that you start using tactical nukes gang it's over more in a minute

01:08:29.540 Hey, coming back to Ricky and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:36.000 So NATO is meeting in Turkey today.

01:08:38.860 and I want to bring Jason and Ricky in for this NATO meeting

01:08:44.640 and what's happening in NATO.

01:08:48.500 What are we trying to do other than make sure

01:08:51.620 somebody doesn't vaporize the whole world?

01:08:56.540 Jason?

01:08:58.020 I don't even know the topic that NATO is discussing today.

01:09:02.280 I haven't even looked at that yet.

01:09:03.880 they are trying to make sure that the rest of europe have you looked at it is paying their

01:09:10.860 fair share when it comes to military spending so they're trying to get everyone up to you know

01:09:15.940 the same levels that the u.s is spending to take care of the rest who cares about that

01:09:19.820 that's not going to happen that's not going to happen it's just not going to happen because they

01:09:30.120 they can't a they can't afford it this is a giant game that is being played right now

01:09:34.780 um and you know trump is getting them to pay more than they ever have um however i mean i know i know

01:09:43.600 i know uh they're not they're doing little games like what's counting you know they're counting on

01:09:50.640 things that they already planned on spending and they're like you know what we're spending this

01:09:55.480 over here so uh we're just gonna say that that's part of our nato thing and i mean it's a giant

01:10:01.800 game because they don't have the money nobody has the money that's what that's what people don't

01:10:06.640 understand we're the really the only ones that can truly print money and get away with it for a while

01:10:12.480 nobody else can do what we can do and so they don't have the money and uh you know nato nato's

01:10:19.100 in real trouble the all i mean jason you said earlier and what made you say this the whole

01:10:24.600 world's about to change what made you say that today i'm just looking at the two of the major

01:10:31.060 oil producing countries in the world and and you know the way that i mean they've always dominated

01:10:36.480 uh in large in large portion parts of how the world receives oil receives energy how energy

01:10:43.740 is produced and now all of that is completely being upended both of them are currently under

01:10:48.840 duress not only that but the way they ship it so one of the one of the side effects of this war

01:10:54.220 has been multiple different, you know, countries, Gulf Arab countries, looking at ways to completely

01:11:00.820 bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Like, they're building pipelines that go directly towards

01:11:06.360 the Red Sea instead of heading out towards the Strait of Hormuz. Or, you know, completely other

01:11:12.280 different pipelines that travel on land that they don't have to rely on, you know, this stranglehold

01:11:18.600 that Iran has had. But it's not just Iran that benefits off of this. You have Russia, you have

01:11:23.840 China, the entire, you know, access that they have developed over there to in the event that

01:11:29.620 a major conflict happens, they always have had that trump card. That's something that they can 0.54

01:11:34.880 do to force people to negotiating tables or bend them to their will. All of that is changing. And

01:11:39.860 I don't know what it's going to look like moving forward. But I don't think it will be the same

01:11:44.220 once the dust settles after the Iranian conflict and also the Russia-Ukraine conflict ends.

01:11:54.840 You know, I will tell you this with, uh, $40 a barrel. Cause I asked the president about the

01:12:00.040 strategic oil reserve and I said, are we refilling that? And he said, yeah, um, oil is coming down

01:12:06.020 in price and we are going to refill that. He said, it should have never been used by Biden.

01:12:09.880 He's like, that's for war, not for, you know, prices at the gas tank. Um, and he said, it's,

01:12:16.840 it's dangerously low. So if, you know, if OPEC is their worry is correct at all. Um,

01:12:23.440 At $40 a barrel, the United States could buy a ton of oil and fill that oil reserve way back up at a fraction of a cost.

01:12:33.920 And that would bring the cost of oil because there'd be such a demand on that $40 barrel oil.

01:12:38.460 So it might actually work out to be our advantage, to play an advantage.

01:12:44.240 But it's going to be interesting to see how all of this stuff is going to work out over the next.

01:12:49.120 Ricky, did I miss anything on this?

01:12:51.080 Oh, yeah.

01:12:51.800 world peace is important and all but you have not told us what the president said about the painting

01:12:57.800 that you gave of him of his mother coming to ellis island i know that was part of your conversation

01:13:03.460 spill the tea so i am in i'll keep this short because nobody cares um uh i was in the lincoln

01:13:16.800 Memorial. I don't know if I told this story yesterday, but I was in the Lincoln Memorial

01:13:20.440 and I didn't know this. Ricky knew this. She told my wife, didn't tell me. And I go into the,

01:13:27.480 what's called the undercroft, which is the, the, this big, huge, beautiful space under the Lincoln

01:13:34.380 Memorial. And it's all just the pillars that are holding this thing up. And it's like, I don't even

01:13:39.380 know, three, four stories tall underground. Um, and, um, they've, they've redone it and it is

01:13:46.100 absolutely stunningly beautiful. And you go in and a lot of it is about half of it is just glass

01:13:52.020 where you're looking at the pillars. And when you're looking through that glass, um, they are

01:13:57.320 projecting things on the pillars and the back walls and they're projecting this movie. So I'm,

01:14:02.160 I'm sitting in this and all of a sudden I hear Miriam Anderson, who is this amazing black singer

01:14:07.920 from the 1930s that Eleanor Roosevelt

01:14:10.260 helped out because

01:14:11.920 Daughters of the American Revolution said

01:14:14.220 she's black, she can't sing the 0.91

01:14:16.140 national anthem. And Eleanor Roosevelt 1.00

01:14:18.200 found that that was really offensive

01:14:19.940 and as a member of the Daughters of the American

01:14:22.120 Revolution, she said, you know what, Miriam, why don't

01:14:24.100 you come to the

01:14:25.220 Lincoln Memorial and stand on the stairs

01:14:28.120 and sing from there. And so

01:14:30.060 she sang right from the stairs.

01:14:32.840 And so I'm

01:14:34.300 watching this little five-minute movie

01:14:36.300 about the history and and the the role it's played in america and marian manderson then i hear another

01:14:43.320 voice and then i hear martin luther king and i look at my wife and i went because i was so stunned

01:14:48.980 by it i didn't know am i hearing things and i looked at my wife and i went that that's my voice

01:14:55.060 and she just smiled at me and she said uh-huh and i'm like what what and so they've included me now

01:15:04.800 in the history what we did if you went to restoring honor and you saw those geese fly do the fly over

01:15:10.360 that's now included in the history of important things that happened at the Lincoln Memorial

01:15:16.480 so I'm just stunned by this and I I walk out um and my wife I'm just I'm really I'm just I'm

01:15:25.980 standing up against the wall and I start looking at some other things and my wife's like honey

01:15:29.440 come here and it talks about the role of the Lincoln Memorial and freedom of speech or something

01:15:34.580 like that. And, uh, and I walk up and I turn around and I'm just blown away because there is

01:15:43.560 a picture and a video of me giving the speech at the Lincoln Memorial. And I'm like, what is

01:15:51.440 happening? It was so bizarre. So I'm walking out after like 20 minutes. And as soon as I walk out,

01:16:00.040 And remember, I'm underground.

01:16:01.080 As soon as I walk out, I get a ping from Ricky.

01:16:04.500 He says, the president's trying to call you.

01:16:05.920 And I'm like, this is the weirdest day of my life.

01:16:09.500 And so I walk out and the president's on it.

01:16:12.460 And he's like, Glenn, I just wanted to thank you for the painting you did.

01:16:17.740 My mother, he said, I just watched the special that you guys did on immigration.

01:16:25.740 And he said, I watched it a couple of times.

01:16:27.760 He said, it's just great.

01:16:28.940 he said everybody should see this and i said well thank you mr president i agree blah blah blah and

01:16:34.960 i said you know um i was so worried about the painting um that i did because i don't know if

01:16:42.560 i got her face right you know i i sketched this out and then a good good dear friend of mine

01:16:47.360 he went and he did it because i ran out of time he he took and finished the piece and made it

01:16:53.280 as beautiful as it is, Mike Malm, he's a master artist. And I said, you know, we went back and

01:17:00.260 forth. Is the face right? Blah, blah, blah. And he said, that's not AI. And I'm like, I don't even

01:17:05.520 know how AI would paint a painting. No, it's not AI. And he's like, it is stunning. It's just

01:17:12.740 stunning. And I said, well, you know, I was worried about, cause I know how you feel about

01:17:17.220 your mother. And then he said, you know, I always knew you were different. I've always known you

01:17:21.940 are different. He said, but what people don't get is you're emotional. And I'm thinking to myself,

01:17:29.120 I think he's calling me a cry baby. And he said, you're emotional. You get to the emotional side

01:17:35.600 of people. And I'm still not sure. I don't say anything. I'm just like, thank you. And I'm not

01:17:40.820 sure if it's a slam or not, but, um, he said yes. And then we talked about his mom for a while.

01:17:45.840 um and uh and then he went back to the special then i started asking him about iran and uh and

01:17:52.720 iraq and stuff so yes he liked the painting and it was the weirdest day it was the weird it was a

01:17:58.500 weird hour to be all of a sudden be walking through something you know the smithsonian and

01:18:03.140 the and the and the uh and the national parks have put together and you're seeing you it's like

01:18:11.420 what is happening and then oh the president is trying to call my life is weird it's a good weird

01:22:22.040 glennbeck.com slash torch become a member today all right let me tell you about the international

01:22:26.780 fellowship of christians and jews you know when most people think about saving a life they imagine

01:22:31.420 some heroic act sometimes saving a life looks a lot more ordinary sometimes it's a crowbar or a

01:22:37.740 jack or a heavy duty screwdriver earlier this year the international fellowship of christians and

01:22:42.320 The Jews provided 100 emergency rescue kits to an Israeli volunteer rescue organization.

01:22:49.580 And the kits may not look impressive really at all at first glance.

01:22:58.200 Imagine you're trying to get in and you can't open it.

01:23:00.640 You're trying to get out and you can't open it.

01:23:02.640 These are the kinds of things that the IFCJ does.

01:23:06.100 IFCJ.

01:23:06.580 I want you to go to IFCJ.org.

01:23:08.960 You can get your free Israel flag pin, Israel USA flag pin, by going to flagpinifcj.org, flagpinifcj.org.

01:23:18.960 Do it now.

01:23:21.360 You're going to have to hold that thought, my friend.

01:23:24.260 We got a schedule to keep back.

01:23:27.420 We'll be back.

01:23:38.960 a new bill of rights song is out at torch250.com with lesson plans for all ages so your family

01:23:53.780 can learn how to defend our freedoms so i have to tell you one story i learned at the national

01:24:01.480 archives um about the declaration of independence and you will not see this on any copies it's only

01:24:08.140 on the original on the original if you go to see it look at the lower left hand corner you will see

01:24:15.220 a man's hand print this giant print of a hand okay and they went back and they were trying to

01:24:23.700 find out when that print was done and they look in pictures and they can't see it until about 1924

01:24:29.640 it's not there in like 1919 or 1920 in a photo and then the first time it appears is 1924

01:24:35.920 well between 20 and 24 it was at the state department just hanging out open okay this is

01:24:42.140 why you can't see and read any of the words because it was just open to the open air and they put it

01:24:46.900 in the smoking room so preservation's changed a little bit so they put it in the smoking room

01:24:54.960 and it's open and they think that somebody just came up to it and they were like you know smoking

01:25:01.040 and drinking at the state department like this document is great and just put his hand on it and

01:25:06.280 now if you go to the national archives you see whoever that did that you see their whole hand

01:25:12.980 print on the lower left hand uh corner the bottom corner of the declaration of independence

01:25:18.560 i hope that he i hope that he was drunk enough so he when he lifted his hand he didn't see the 0.95

01:25:24.740 print and go, oh, crap. Don't tell anybody it was me. America has always had a fascination 0.95

01:25:43.460 with the finished product. We love the hero who crosses the Delaware, the general who wins the

01:25:48.520 war, the president who voluntarily gives up power. But we don't spend as nearly as much time asking

01:25:54.080 the important question, how did he become that man in the first place? Great leaders don't just

01:25:59.340 appear. They are shaped by failure and courage and discipline and the choices they make when

01:26:04.120 nobody's watching. That's what makes young Washington so timely. Just it's such a great

01:26:10.120 movie in a moment where America is celebrating her 250th birthday. This film will take you back

01:26:15.320 to the years before the legend when George Washington was still just learning character

01:26:19.760 that would eventually change the course of history.

01:26:22.400 It's more than just a historic drama. 0.96

01:26:24.500 It's a reminder that liberty is always dependent on men and women

01:26:27.300 who are willing to grow, sacrifice, and answer the call when their moment arrives.

01:26:31.380 That's the message worth hearing today, as much as it was 250 years ago.

01:26:35.640 So see Young Washington in theaters now.

01:26:38.120 Tickets available at angel.com slash youngwashington.

01:26:49.760 We'll be right back.

01:27:19.760 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

01:27:30.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:34.800 Glenn Beck is on.

01:27:37.840 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:39.660 I want to talk a little bit about Bitcoin, digital currency in and of itself,

01:27:49.260 The Clarity Act.

01:27:52.520 You know, the president has made an enormous amount of money on Bitcoin.

01:27:56.540 I have the guy to answer some of these questions.

01:27:59.060 Michael Selig.

01:27:59.880 He is the Commodity Futures Trading Commission chairperson.

01:28:04.040 I also want to talk to him about prediction markets.

01:28:06.800 What's the difference between a prediction market and gambling?

01:28:10.400 But I just said to my nephew, I think,

01:28:16.300 He was talking to me about, you know, I'm going to invest in, you know, day trading and stuff like that.

01:28:21.700 And I'm like, day trading, I think it's kind of like gambling.

01:28:24.500 So I don't know what the difference between Wall Street and gambling is either.

01:28:29.060 So we'll get into that here in just a second.

01:28:30.940 Stand by in 60 seconds.

01:28:32.720 First, let me tell you about SuperSure.

01:28:34.160 There are some aspects of running your own business that just are not fun. 0.69

01:28:38.220 Even worse are aspects that just suck beyond belief.

01:28:42.700 And you didn't know how to do them in the first place.

01:28:44.620 You know, I didn't start a business because I dreamt about shopping for insurance policies.

01:28:50.340 I mean, I don't know anything about that.

01:28:52.380 You start a business because you're good at something.

01:28:54.660 You're good at building something.

01:28:56.120 You're fixing something.

01:28:57.020 You're good at serving people.

01:28:59.260 Then you discover, wow, but I got to run a business. 0.73

01:29:02.100 It means figuring out coverage and comparing policies and trying all this crap out.

01:29:06.220 Are we covered?

01:29:06.920 Are we covered?

01:29:07.540 Are we covered?

01:29:08.160 All of this stuff.

01:29:08.820 And the language in these insurance policies might as well be written in, I don't know, ancient Sanskrit or Greek.

01:29:15.800 That's why SuperSure is there.

01:29:18.040 They will help take that whole headache off your plate and they'll help you find the coverage that your business actually needs,

01:29:24.080 give you a simple dashboard to manage it.

01:29:26.720 And through their AI technology, it will actually dumb things down enough so even I can understand what it says.

01:29:32.540 Am I covered?

01:29:33.440 Hey, am I covered for this?

01:29:36.440 No.

01:29:37.280 Yes.

01:29:37.760 Here's why.

01:29:38.820 Okay. It's really easy. And you have one person that is there from start to finish. They can help

01:29:43.500 you. So you're not on hold for five hours when you're asking an insurance company, uh, question

01:29:47.460 super sure.com slash back go there now super sure.com slash back paid for by super sure insurance

01:29:54.500 agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency. Michael Selig. How are you, sir? I'm doing well. Thanks.

01:30:02.800 Thanks for having me. Yeah. It's, uh, it's good to have you here. The commodities future trading

01:30:07.260 commission chairperson what does that mean so the commodity futures trading commission is one of

01:30:12.800 those little known agencies but we actually oversee a very large market so the commodity

01:30:16.720 derivatives market in the united states is approximately 600 trillion notional it covers

01:30:22.120 everything from oil and gas futures to crypto asset futures so you bring up oil and gas and

01:30:28.940 have you read yesterday or the day before about oil being uh uh the possibility that oil is going

01:30:35.640 to go down to like 40 a barrel that opec is freaking out about that a bit well look we've

01:30:40.980 seen a lot of volatility in these markets of course that's related to the geopolitics everything

01:30:45.100 going on in iran but we're really glad to start to see gas prices come down because americans were

01:30:50.820 paying for that at the pump and it's really important of course that we have that victory

01:30:54.540 in iran and now we're getting our oil prices back in shape um let's talk a little bit about

01:30:59.800 uh bitcoin because my wife will not let me sell a single coin she's like we took our money that

01:31:05.360 we invested in we took it out uh and we said we're just going to let this ride for the children of

01:31:11.440 the grandchildren or the great-grandchildren whatever uh and there have been times i am so

01:31:16.440 bad i'm like pull it out pull it pull it out pull it out um and she won't let me is she right

01:31:23.100 it's interesting bitcoin has proven to be one of the most anti-fragile you know that's a coin term

01:31:28.960 by Nassim Taleb. It's this asset that no matter what happens in our markets, no matter what

01:31:35.020 happens in geopolitics and our political environment, it survives and it tends to

01:31:39.540 thrive on this chaos. We saw with the implosion of Mt. Gox back in 2014, 2015. Then we saw the

01:31:46.340 implosion of FTX. We saw the crackdown under the Biden administration off the debanking and the

01:31:51.980 attacks really on the crypto industry. And Bitcoin's continued to survive and thrive. And of

01:31:56.580 course, it's been volatile, but it's held up as a decentralized currency. It's something that

01:32:01.160 is censorship resistant, something that the government can't confiscate.

01:32:03.980 It's not acting like a currency, though, is it?

01:32:07.920 It's really acting like a commodity, which is the interesting thing. So we've characterized

01:32:11.120 it as a commodity at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It's just like gold or silver,

01:32:15.960 oil or gas, or really anything else. People are using it for payments in some cases.

01:32:20.340 They're using it to store value in other cases. It's really this censorship resistant

01:32:24.960 currency that can be used for various purposes so um i have to ask you about the president because

01:32:31.240 i just had somebody say to me uh don't you have a problem with trump making you know i don't even

01:32:37.660 know billion and a half dollars off of cryptocurrency no i don't have a problem as long as it's clean

01:32:44.700 as long as there's nothing wrong with it as long as he hasn't been using his office i don't mind

01:32:49.960 people making money i do have a problem because i would be questioning if if if it were joe biden

01:32:55.580 that did this i'd be like wait a minute wait a minute is there anything under the hood

01:33:00.600 can you explain his because he's like i'm a crypto guy now can you explain the money here

01:33:08.080 that he has made well the president just like everyone else in the administration is subject

01:33:12.640 to a non-partisan office of government ethics agreement which does limit the president's

01:33:18.340 to be involved in any of these business endeavors while president. So it's essentially a blind

01:33:22.740 management of those assets. But of course, the president has been involved in the crypto industry

01:33:28.780 prior to taking office and has some of those assets on his balance sheet. Some of them have

01:33:33.720 gone up in value. Some of them may have gone down in value. But of course, he's not involved in the

01:33:37.800 day-to-day affairs. But his sons are, aren't they? Some of his sons may be involved, but the president's

01:33:42.320 not involved in those business ventures. And just like any other industry, whether it's real estate,

01:33:47.460 gold silver uh crypto assets you know the prices are going to go up and down and certain things

01:33:52.900 are going to be easy for the democrats to attack and say you're profiting from this but really he's

01:33:57.500 got a lot of assets just like uh many others similarly situated and so of course those are

01:34:02.600 going to go up and down the president's not involved of course in the day-to-day management

01:34:06.100 of those are is are we passing anything that's saying that cryptocurrency can uh um

01:34:14.860 a never become a central bank digital currency is are we are you concerned about that at all

01:34:23.740 i'm very concerned about central bank digital currencies and we in the trump administration

01:34:27.380 have been very clear that that's not going to happen under our watch we have put out an executive

01:34:32.120 order the president actually put this out just a week into office i think on the 25th of january

01:34:36.960 last year prohibiting central bank digital currencies and we put out a report that i was

01:34:42.760 part of on the president's working group on digital assets that specifically states that

01:34:46.700 it is a policy of this administration to prevent a digital central bank digital currency from coming

01:34:51.380 to fruition but of course the prior administration was pushing that and we had to withdraw some of

01:34:55.900 their actions on them is there anybody in congress i mean is there any way to get this passed before

01:35:00.440 this president leaves office because i mean you know the president has done some really great 0.56

01:35:05.080 stuff but the next guy can come in and just reverse all of this crap well that's our concern we want

01:35:10.020 things to be future-proof we need to make sure that a central bank digital currency is never

01:35:13.660 possible and legislation is the most important and future-proof thing in washington and so we're

01:35:19.020 very supportive that uh congressman emmer has been pushing this as have others and we're very

01:35:23.960 supportive of those efforts um let me talk to you about crypto i mean uh sorry uh predictive markets

01:35:29.360 because you look like you were probably too young to remember i'm such an old man now uh you know

01:35:37.160 right after the world trade center came down uh i think it was darpa that said we should do a

01:35:43.060 prediction market and we should get together with the five eyes and you should be able to be able to

01:35:48.920 put money into it and say hey i think this is where the next terrorist attack is going to happen

01:35:54.600 basically a prediction market except it was for the spy agencies all around the world and i thought

01:35:59.380 that was a little grotesque but also the right thing to do because you know when there's money

01:36:05.780 on the table people tend to uh be a little more clear on what they think is coming um that of

01:36:14.080 course was abolished almost immediately because it was so offensive to people but the prediction

01:36:19.220 market is that what is the difference between the prediction market however and gambling

01:36:25.920 that's right so prediction markets have been around for a long time we actually do have an

01:36:31.320 express prohibition in our statute, or I should say the discretion for the agency to prohibit

01:36:35.840 certain contracts on war, terrorism, assassination for public policy purposes,

01:36:39.940 but prediction markets on politics, sports, and other things have been around for a long time.

01:36:43.720 The distinction between a prediction market, which offers what are called event contracts,

01:36:47.820 so that's a type of financial instrument, and gambling, which is done in a casino,

01:36:52.280 and we've had in our statute, in the Commodity Exchange Act, as well as the securities laws,

01:36:56.160 express authority to regulate these types of financial instruments, and that covers off any

01:37:02.740 sort of state regulation of those products as gambling. So there's what's called exclusive

01:37:06.720 jurisdiction for these agencies. And the distinction there, though, is the product.

01:37:10.880 When you create a financial instrument, it has certain rights that you have by owning that

01:37:15.900 contract, and it trades in a financial market. So there's a really high bar to be able to trade

01:37:20.520 and offer that product. There's investor protections and delays. It has to go through

01:37:24.340 what's called an order book where you're matched with a counterparty on the exchange. The exchange

01:37:28.740 then clears that through a clearinghouse where they're standing in between. You don't have any

01:37:32.360 of those protections when you walk into a casino, and that's for good reason because that's

01:37:35.720 entertainment. So that is all regulated by the states really to raise tax revenue and then also

01:37:41.240 for entertainment purposes to allow for bookies, for example. In most of the casinos, they actually

01:37:46.680 take the other side of your position. So they're coming out and they're looking at the data and

01:37:51.140 saying these are the odds of you know if it's a sports event what who's going to win the game or

01:37:56.840 whatever else they're betting on and they'll bet against you essentially and so they're going to

01:38:00.220 give you worse terms because they always make money right and the casinos are always making

01:38:05.340 money right and they're able to serve you alcohol and do all these things because they're entertainment

01:38:09.320 businesses tell me about the clarity act you're big on the clarity i don't even know what the

01:38:13.600 clarity act is what's it for the clarity act talking to this future proof uh notion of making

01:38:19.240 sure that crypto is here to stay, that the next administration doesn't come and take it all away

01:38:23.360 from us. We want to get in statute, and this has been from the top. The president has pushed for

01:38:27.780 this, and it's in our president's working group report. It's legislation that creates a market

01:38:31.760 structure, just like we have for the prediction markets and for securities markets. We would

01:38:36.400 have exchanges that are federally regulated. And the problem here is that the states, if you look

01:38:41.700 to a state like New York, they're very aggressive against crypto. We're in litigation, for example,

01:38:46.060 with letitia james on on some of these issues they do not like it and so we need federal protections

01:38:50.780 for the product and for the exchanges so the clarity act is making it a universal i mean

01:38:57.500 within the united states all 50 states have to treat it the same is there protection though for

01:39:03.220 the um you know uh federal reserve so it's not it doesn't become a cdo well this bill it's possible

01:39:13.500 to add on some central bank digital currency provisions, and that's been in discussions.

01:39:18.440 The clean core bill is not the central bank digital currency piece, but it could be combined

01:39:24.580 with one. So there are various bills that could certainly be attached. The core bill, though,

01:39:29.500 makes sure that we have markets where people can buy and sell these, custodians where you can hold

01:39:34.960 your crypto, or if you're going to take your crypto and hold it in your own personal wallet,

01:39:39.540 that you have protections to be able to do that so it's really meant to comprehensively cover

01:39:43.540 crypto and blockchain technology but not necessarily stable coins and central bank

01:39:47.620 digital currency do you get into the security of any of it i mean i was at the national archives

01:39:52.440 they have 13 billion documents 3 billion in the building just a couple blocks away from here

01:39:59.180 13 billion documents and i said with the roll of i mean the uh the library drawers back in the day

01:40:06.640 had to be an enormous room everything's digitized now but everything is digitized now with everything

01:40:13.220 that is happening with you know quantum computing and the ability to have no secrets and no codes

01:40:19.340 and and you know everything can be hacked are you concerned at all about what are we doing to make

01:40:26.080 sure that our our banking and our cryptocurrency and everything is as safe as it can be we are

01:40:33.020 concerned about that. And I think the Trump administration has really been pushing for

01:40:37.060 quantum resistance. We put out a number of executive orders recently. We are also taking

01:40:41.480 cybersecurity very seriously. And if you look to our cybersecurity report, it actually names

01:40:46.060 blockchain security as one of the goals of that report. And so across the agencies, we're working

01:40:51.660 to make sure that these systems are secure. We're looking at things like AI. Of course, some of these

01:40:56.820 models can be used to undermine banking and financial systems but that's also why we need

01:41:03.000 crypto in the united states we need alternatives if people don't trust the banks and the central

01:41:07.600 gatekeepers they need to be able to hold their own assets in their wallet and that's really

01:41:12.320 important for the american people michael thank you for everything appreciate it keep it up get

01:41:17.940 these things passed by congress please get them passed michael selig uh commodity future trading

01:41:24.760 Commission chairperson. All right, back in 60 seconds. First, Tom Holman's coming up in just

01:41:29.400 a minute. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Real conviction. You know what it looks like,

01:41:35.100 right? Real conviction when you have two perfectly good options in front of you and you choose the

01:41:40.140 one that aligns with your values, even if it costs you more. That's conviction. It's one of

01:41:46.180 the reasons why I appreciate Patriot Mobile. They're America's only Christian conservative

01:41:49.480 wireless provider, and they've built their business around supporting the thing. So many

01:41:53.900 of us care about, religious liberty, First Amendment, Second Amendment, basically all

01:41:59.080 of the amendments. Well, maybe, probably not the prohibition one, but that's a different story.

01:42:05.160 Conviction comes from doing the right thing, even if it costs you more. In this case,

01:42:09.680 it doesn't cost you more. It could cost you less. You keep your phone number, you keep your phone

01:43:13.460 And I have Tom Homan coming up in just a second.

01:43:17.180 I love, I love Tom.

01:43:18.900 His security is intense and has been here for a couple of hours now waiting for him to arrive.

01:43:25.600 They are not messing around.

01:43:29.040 He's going to be talking a little bit about, he's our borders are, and he's going to be talking a little bit about what's coming for immigration in just a few minutes.

01:43:37.360 Did I miss anything, Ricky?

01:43:38.200 ricky no you i think you covered everything with the cft fct get the acronym wrong guest however

01:43:45.080 i wanted to ask you about trump accounts and how you feel about them that those recently launched

01:43:51.080 if i had been born now i would have loved that instead of having to rely on my social security

01:43:56.180 that won't be there just a few years yeah no i i love the idea i don't love the idea that we're

01:44:02.900 creating yet another safety blanket, but honestly, it will make it easier for, um, uh, to be able to

01:44:12.800 say in 10 years, Hey guys, at the bottom end, you're not going to get social security, but

01:44:17.940 we need you to pay in to help clear the future. You, we've got something else for you. So I think

01:44:24.580 it's a smart move for the future. I love the idea that it is being privately funded by so many

01:44:29.900 people. I mean, there, you know, you want to, well, I guess I was going to say, you want a good PR

01:44:35.260 move for Elon Musk, uh, fund a lot of this stuff. Um, but that's up to him to do it. And no matter

01:44:42.800 what, you know, no matter what he does with his money, he'll, he'll never be popular again.

01:44:48.620 They're doing to him what they do to, you know, uh, every, uh, rich person and especially great

01:44:55.840 mind i mean i think ben franklin was the the last person that we had that well yeah no it was the

01:45:02.720 last person that we had who was a real true genius and a good guy you know um uh tesla

01:45:10.740 when uh elon musk you know developed the tesla and the and the battery system and everything else

01:45:18.220 he gave away the patents it's exactly what benjamin franklin did because benjamin franklin

01:45:23.660 was like, I'm old. I don't need the money. I'm fine. And he, he solved one of the biggest issues

01:45:30.800 up until about 1880, 1890. The biggest cause of death for women was burning to death 1.00

01:45:38.320 from fire because they were cooking on the open stove. Ben Franklin invented the pot belly stove

01:45:46.220 and he said, no patent on that. So you don't have to pay me for it. Anybody can make them

01:45:51.840 any way you want. Uh, and you don't have to pay me because it was the right thing to do. And that's

01:45:56.640 the same thing that, um, that, uh, Elon Musk did with Tesla. It's the right thing. I don't need

01:46:02.000 the money. I'm just going to give it away because he believes in green energy and he believes that

01:46:07.200 that technology could help if it was in everybody's hands. So he just made it public. Anyway, I

01:46:13.400 digress. I think that it's, um, I think it's good for the future. And if I were in this particular,

01:46:21.980 uh, age group, I would love it. If I had parent, if I, if I had kids now who are in this age group,

01:46:29.760 I would love this because it's a way for you to actually make money and have it actually invested.

01:46:37.720 You know, they've been talking about a lockbox since Ronald Reagan and never been a lockbox.

01:46:43.020 And if you go back and you look at the debate on Social Security, even FDR knew this would fall apart. He's like, eventually this won't work. You know, if you if you get labor unions involved and they start voting for things in the government, if you start voting more in, if we don't change the, you know, the death, if if lifespans grow and you don't change it, it's going to collapse.

01:47:11.800 there's all kinds of things that we should have done along the way that could have given this

01:47:16.200 more life but nobody's willing to do it it's always been the third rail donald trump has found

01:47:21.060 a way to lay new rails um and i think it's going to pay off long after he's gone from office

01:47:28.920 because it will give the next president or the president after the ability to say we are taking

01:47:36.620 care of the youth in a completely different way they've got to work just till we clear this group

01:47:42.940 out because we cannot go back on their benefits but we also can't depend on social security lasting

01:47:51.200 you know for another 65 years until these kids grow through it because it won't happen 1.00

01:47:57.340 all right more in a second tom homan is coming up next uh all part of our our special on the golden

01:48:05.220 door at glenbeck.com slash torch or torch 250.com the golden door the story from ellis island to

01:48:12.740 the white house available now on torch at glenbeck.com all right let me tell you about chapter

01:48:20.020 you know it's really frustrating when you're trying to make a really good decision the kind

01:48:25.060 that you know is going to affect you for the rest of your life uh and you can't get a straight answer

01:48:30.260 about anything. Every person you talk to has a different answer. And after a while, you don't

01:48:35.720 feel informed. You feel more confused. And that's how a lot of people actually feel when they start

01:48:39.960 looking at Medicare. There are plans and supplements and prescription options and networks,

01:48:44.800 and everybody seems to be telling you what their plan is. And their plan is absolutely the one you

01:48:48.860 have to choose. That's because they're making money off of you if you choose that plan. Chapter

01:48:53.840 is different. They don't work for insurance companies. Their licensed advisors help compare

01:48:59.080 all of the plans from all of the carriers. And they explain the differences in plain English,

01:49:04.720 and they'll help you find the coverage that fits your doctors and your prescriptions and your

01:49:08.640 budgets. And best of all, their help doesn't cost you anything. When a decision is this important,

01:49:14.360 you don't need a sales pitch. You need somebody that can help you. So give them a call. It's free.

01:49:18.360 Dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter. Pound 250. Keyword chapter.

01:49:29.080 The immigration debate has reached peak levels, but if you want the truth, get it.

01:49:34.900 The special that Trump loves now by joining Torch at glennbeck.com.

01:49:54.520 And now we're arguing about birthright citizenship.

01:49:56.880 Why all these suicide pacts?

01:50:05.000 The 14th Amendment was specifically written for the children of freed slaves, 0.52

01:50:11.080 not for people who fly in, have a baby, and claim instant citizenship for the child while the parents stay illegal.

01:50:17.700 That's insanity.

01:50:19.000 That's not what the authors intended, and pretending otherwise is madness and wildly dishonest.

01:50:26.240 We're also not the destination of import for false and dangerous ideologies,

01:50:33.800 nor corruption from people who come here fleeing corruption. 0.92

01:50:40.100 The Somali fraud cases. 0.97

01:50:42.160 People were brought here under the promise that they would strengthen America. 1.00

01:50:46.500 And what happens?

01:50:47.840 With some of our own politicians' help, they set up massive welfare scams,

01:50:52.000 ripping off the very taxpayers that welcomed them here.

01:50:55.400 we brought you in to make america better and now you're stealing from us

01:51:00.700 that is not the huddled masses yearning to breathe free that's a clip from uh golden door

01:51:08.920 um the 14th amendment in somali fraud uh and um i talked to the president over the weekend he said

01:51:16.640 i just saw the special he says great everybody should everybody should see this special you'll

01:51:21.120 learn an awful lot um and you'll learn that immigration is not a suicide pact it's called

01:51:27.540 the golden door it's available now at glenbeck.com slash uh torch tom homan is uh with me he is our

01:51:34.340 border czar uh and uh and the guy who went in and fixed minnesota what an incredible job that thing

01:51:43.340 was spiraling out of control and you just show up and it just it takes care of itself so thank

01:51:50.620 you for that thank you yeah uh it didn't take care of yourself well no but uh yeah the president

01:51:56.720 called me one morning woke me up and said you need to go to minnesota and fix this mess and

01:52:01.380 i said when he said today so i went up there within a few hours i was on the ground in minnesota

01:52:06.540 so i saw something gosh just today where they oh no it was uh it was mom donnie uh on fourth of

01:52:14.980 july saying that these guys just show up in masks and unmarked vans and they're just taking all

01:52:21.160 these people away can you respond to that you know what mandami doesn't understand we're doing

01:52:28.260 the same thing we've done for decades we're enforcing immigration law and the reason we're

01:52:33.300 wearing masks is because of the eight thousand percent increase in death threats i mean just

01:52:40.280 not against the agents against their spouses and their children so i same thing i've yelled at

01:52:46.840 every democrat on the hill that says take the mask off i said we'll take the mask off when you stop

01:52:51.760 going on national media and call and comparing ice to the nazis and the secret police because you are

01:52:56.980 driving the hate you are driving the hate for rhetoric that's causing the spike in attacks

01:53:01.620 i said so why don't you support ice because they're enforcing laws that you wrote so if

01:53:07.500 If they're the secret police for enforcing that, what's that make you?

01:53:10.600 You wrote them all.

01:53:11.700 So stop the hateful rhetoric, and masks can come off quickly.

01:53:15.800 There's no chance of that happening, is there?

01:53:18.020 They don't seem to be slowing down.

01:53:20.600 And I don't understand, how do you deal with a city like New York that's a sanctuary city,

01:53:28.120 and they're not going to comply?

01:53:29.780 How do we, how are we a country if cities can just pick and choose what they want to do?

01:53:40.060 And they're becoming more and more belligerent about it.

01:53:43.660 Exactly.

01:53:44.300 So, you know, thank God Todd Blanche and his people are following lawsuits in sanctuary cities.

01:53:50.280 And some are looking good.

01:53:51.700 A few, we've had some recent setbacks in a couple of them.

01:53:54.420 But you've got radical judges that make decisions not based on law, but out of hatred for the Trump.

01:53:59.780 administration, but we're appealing those decisions. So I really think we'll be successful

01:54:04.060 in the sanctuary city lawsuits. And what I explained to Governor Holcomb, and we want to

01:54:09.700 talk about Minnesota, Governor Holcomb just signed legislation that ended our 287G agreements with

01:54:16.080 some big sheriffs in New York State. She refused for any county jail to work with us on retention 1.00

01:54:22.380 space. And I sat down with her and explained to her what we did in Minnesota. I said, you know,

01:54:27.340 way we fix minnesota we gain support from the local sheriffs so we can arrest the bad guy in

01:54:33.720 the safety and security of the jail which is safer for the agent safer for the alien and safer for

01:54:38.740 the community one one agent arrests one bad guy but what you force us in minnesota to do since

01:54:44.500 you're a sanctuary state we got to send a whole team out which is six or seven fugitive operations

01:54:49.440 six or seven people on a fugitive team fugitive operation team to go arrest somebody in the public

01:54:55.040 so if you let us in the jail rather than you know six people on the streets looking at this guy we

01:55:00.360 got one person in the jail it just makes sense that that's how we won minnesota we got unprecedented

01:55:05.360 support so that causes us to take more more of agents off the street and do it in the jail

01:55:09.880 and i explained that to governor holko and i said because when you force us into the street

01:55:14.700 we got to send teams out there to do that when we find the bad guy which we will many times are with

01:55:20.220 others others that are in the country illegally may not be a public safety threat but they're

01:55:24.140 coming too so it results in more agents in the streets it results in more collateral rest and

01:55:29.840 it's a community safety issue when you release the public safety threat back how does she respond to

01:55:33.680 that completely ignored and signed the legislation three weeks later and that's why i told her okay

01:55:39.000 now you forced us to send more agents to new york to enforce immigration law when it took less

01:55:45.620 because you took the efficiencies of the jailway and what she's ignoring is the fact now we can't

01:55:50.880 rent a bed from a sheriff so every illegal alien we arrest in new york will be immediately put on

01:55:56.120 an airplane and sent out of state how does that benefit the immigrant community and you know you

01:56:00.920 know they're going to go to proceedings yeah they have no access to their family because we moved

01:56:05.640 them out of state so it wasn't about protecting immigrant community this is about her supporting

01:56:10.100 sanctuary isn't there something in the constitution about the supremacy of the federal law absolutely

01:56:15.180 and i think that's why doj is all over this so in the sanctuary cities you think that's coming next

01:56:19.960 well they've already filed laws which can several and we got to keep doing it i know

01:56:24.160 todd blanchett's serious about president trump's serious about taking these sanctuary cities on

01:56:27.980 but what sanctuary cities are causing because of their policies is we're going to flood the zone

01:56:34.700 i mean we got to send we got 10 000 new agents about 8 000 on board right now all these new

01:56:40.140 resources are going to be assigned to sanctuary cities because that's where the problem is we

01:56:44.600 don't have that problem in florida right we don't have that problem in texas the sheriffs and chiefs

01:56:48.360 are working with us so when you take that efficiency away and we got to send more few

01:56:52.860 jobs teams out that's where the surge of agents are going to go to sanctuary states like new york

01:56:57.760 when you put the uh agents or maybe you didn't do it but ice agents went in and they were serving at

01:57:04.540 airports i think during the shutdown and i went through an airport and they were handing out

01:57:09.740 water and they were polite and nice and i thought this is this is the best pr for ice i've seen

01:57:14.720 um you have to hire more people to do all these things they are so hated by some are you concerned

01:57:22.280 at all about them turning dark at all just because of what they have to go through that

01:57:27.440 they just become callous no i think you know like every agency there's bad dentists or bad doctors

01:57:34.320 and you know every police agency has a share of issues but i think the men and women ice that

01:57:39.600 perform remarkable under the under the stress the airports uh president trump again i had more jobs

01:57:47.100 than marco rubio because he called me up that one day says he needs what do you think about

01:57:51.560 agents at the airport thomas i think it's a brilliant idea it goes good you're in charge of

01:57:55.340 it so but you know but doing that for number one we were able to secure the airports a lot of tsa

01:58:01.960 agents were out with security exit lanes we're able to you know move people through the lines

01:58:06.320 quicker get the traveling uh americans through the airport quicker and but it also did what you

01:58:11.560 just said it put a it put a new face on ice because they don't have to wear a mask in airports

01:58:16.700 they're not doing operations right and it got people to interact with them and they understood

01:58:21.360 look these are great people these are moms and dads too you know they have children they have

01:58:26.060 families and they're simply there to help the american people travel and keep airports safe

01:58:30.960 um this birthright or the birthright citizenship you know in texas we've seen this this birthing

01:58:38.900 center that is china are there ways are you guys going in and arresting and breaking that 0.57

01:58:45.200 is there is there anything you can do to the people who are running those things

01:58:48.320 sometimes yes sometimes no uh but uh hsi homeland security investigation has increased the birth

01:58:55.980 tourism investigations. People who come under, who lie in the application, come under false

01:59:00.960 pretenses. They're coming here for business or coming here for pleasure. In fact, they're coming

01:59:05.320 here for birth. So HSI is looking at the birth tourism investigations. They've tripled down on

01:59:11.500 it, especially after the Supreme Court decision. So it's unfortunate the decision came about. I'm

01:59:17.340 not an attorney, but I can tell you birthright citizenship is a major driver of illegal immigration, 0.99

01:59:23.520 number one but number two more concerning is the national security issue when you have hundreds of

01:59:29.420 thousands of u.s citizens from china and russia and other countries who are not our friends 0.99

01:59:35.620 that can come back to this country and change how real is that people would say oh please it's most

01:59:41.980 mostly not bad how real is that it's real i mean if anybody think you know you know china is not 0.66

01:59:50.040 our friend uh you know and i don't think russia is our friend and they're the two biggest

01:59:54.840 countries that deal with coming to the united states for birth tourism you got chinese and

01:59:59.900 you know the north mariana islands and guam i mean it's a real issue and it's something we're

02:00:05.220 looking at right now we're doubling tripling down on it because the recent decision it's just going

02:00:09.900 to inspire more people taking advantage of it it's it's a national security issue that could

02:00:14.940 have been fixed with the right decision but now we got to live with it we got to deal with it

02:00:19.420 president told me maybe six months ago um we were talking on the phone and i said how concerned are

02:00:28.680 you about this birthright census and he said i'm concerned he said i have hope that they're going

02:00:34.200 to do the right thing but uh not a lot of hope they're going to do the right thing but don't

02:00:37.580 worry we have some things we can do you know what he was talking about what what can we do i think

02:00:43.040 again we we can we deal with the national security issue and and hold people accountable that are

02:00:48.340 about that but also he needs to push congress to to make some changes and congress has it i think

02:00:54.100 supreme court lean toward this is the issue of a congress so congress needs to step up and do the

02:00:58.620 right thing but again i don't have a lot of hope in them either i mean they i hope they do the

02:01:03.560 right thing but you know same thing with you know the save america act i mean isn't that the right

02:01:09.260 thing to do so we'll see but president has punted that over to congress and asked congress to take

02:01:15.200 a hard look at this and make something happen so let's let's hope that happens can you give me some

02:01:19.720 stats on like how many people were here when you came into office how many people are gone now how

02:01:27.540 many are self-deporting how i mean we had a obvious i think we had a slowdown there for a

02:01:34.220 while of getting the bad guys out because you were dealing with things like you know uh minnesota it

02:01:40.080 It just feels like that.

02:01:41.820 Is this on track?

02:01:43.360 Yeah.

02:01:43.600 Where are we?

02:01:46.000 I should rest our record pace.

02:01:47.880 There was a slowdown.

02:01:49.080 I even talked about slowdown.

02:01:50.320 When I looked at it, it was like down 14%, higher sometimes.

02:01:54.340 But the Department of Homeland Security was shut down.

02:01:56.900 And I was involved.

02:01:58.340 Another job I got was going up the hill and negotiate.

02:02:01.720 It's a problem being competent around Donald Trump, isn't it?

02:02:05.020 So I went up there along with my chief of staff.

02:02:07.200 We sat these negotiations to open DHS up.

02:02:09.500 And I can say, without a doubt, the reason DHS was shut down is because of Minnesota and what they saw happen in Minnesota.

02:02:17.080 And because they said it.

02:02:19.080 Everything they brought up was about Minnesota or Chicago.

02:02:22.440 But when I sat down and explained, well, we fixed that.

02:02:24.700 We're already dealing with identifiers and uniforms.

02:02:27.960 We already have body cams.

02:02:30.320 We already deployed body cams.

02:02:31.820 As a matter of fact, the money you're holding up gives us $120 million to buy more cameras.

02:02:37.240 So we fix this issue.

02:02:38.460 So, you know, they simply, they didn't want to, you know, see ICE improve.

02:02:44.420 They were trying to shut down ICE or trying to take authorities away.

02:02:47.460 And I told them day one, I'm not going to sit here and give up any authority ICE has to enforce immigration law.

02:02:52.620 So, you know, it worked out great, right?

02:02:54.700 Through the reconciliations, they didn't get any of it.

02:02:57.300 Things they were asking for is ridiculous, but it was all based on Minnesota, why they shut down.

02:03:02.180 And now that we got the reconciliation package, the numbers are spiking.

02:03:06.180 i told people just have some faith there's a plan and the plan's coming together matter of fact

02:03:11.320 report two days ago i got the numbers from ice and they arrested over 10 000 people in less than

02:03:16.820 five days which is a record for the agency and that's just ice it's not ice borb Joe FBI DA that

02:03:22.540 we had all of government in first year this is just ice they're hitting record numbers so one

02:03:26.880 of the things and i've only got about 45 seconds left for this answer but um one of the things that

02:03:31.100 um i was always concerned about was the border wall because that protects us against future we

02:03:36.580 never thought that an administration would just start flying people over our border but the border

02:03:41.800 wall um and now what are we really talking about it we're almost done with it aren't we as of this

02:03:47.060 morning we have already built 132 miles of wall all the wall since president trump plus this plus

02:03:52.620 secondary wall and buoy barriers hundreds of miles of buoy barriers in the river so i can say by the

02:03:57.820 end of uh 2027 every mile wall will be in the ground every mile will be in the ground by end

02:04:05.560 of next year they're building wall quicker and cheaper than they did during trump 45

02:04:10.060 cbp is doing a great job wow and and thanks and for that with the help of department of war too
