Glenn Beck is back, and he's back in full force. He's got a new segment called "The Doomsday Plane" where he talks about the possibility of a nuclear holocaust, and how to prepare for it.
00:01:57.020You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:58.820We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:02:05.100We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:09.900But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:02:12.580Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck Podcast?
00:02:15.860Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:05:21.700I love problems that shouldn't be a problem.
00:05:25.960Well, here's a way to make that problem go away forever.

00:05:36.820And you'll never have to worry about that damage or anything else, because they install a micromesh barrier that keeps out the leaves, needles, pine cones,
00:05:44.860all the stuff that normally gathers over time.
00:05:47.180The barrier fits right onto your existing gutters, and it's backed by a lifetime warranty.
00:06:33.180I don't know if you heard this, Stu, but one of America's doomsday planes made a flight to Andrew's Air Force Base last night.
00:06:44.800Left at 6 o'clock, landed in Maryland at 10.
00:06:48.960Now, in case you don't know what this is, this is to protect the Secretary of Defense and other national security officials to keep the government operating in the time of a nuclear war.
00:07:01.940And it was spotted last night by flight trackers and made a very long, winding route to the Capitol.
00:07:09.040And it's sitting there, right there, ready, ready to go.
00:07:46.280Okay, I don't either, but it's got to be something nefarious that we should panic about.
00:07:50.840Now, this is a fleet of four E-4Bs, and, you know, yes, they make regular flights around the country all year long just to maintain readiness.
00:08:03.840But this also serves as an airborne command center for the president and secretary of defense and joint chiefs of staff.
00:08:11.740In case there is a bomb in Washington, D.C. or all around the world, it can fly for up to two weeks without landing.
00:08:21.600I mean, it will fall out of the sky if somebody doesn't refuel it every 12 hours, but it could stay up in the sky for up to two weeks.
00:08:29.580So, and it has 112 people on board, and it can withstand a nuclear blast, a cyber attack, electromagnetic effects.
00:08:42.560It can communicate with anybody in the world at any time, you know, so that you could call down back to Earth, and you could be like, hey, hey, and they'll be like, I'm on fire right now.
00:09:30.640Well, they cited sources close to the president and said he has withheld the final order in an effort to give the Iranian officials to change a chance to accept negotiations on a peace deal.
00:09:44.160Well, but next week, it's going to be very, very big, maybe less than a week.
00:09:49.580What they did is the Joint Chiefs came in and they said, Mr. President, we have this plan, this plan, this plan, or this plan.
00:10:31.400There'll be nothing left but a shadow of you soon.
00:10:36.420Because it's much easier to jump there than it is to say, wait a minute, doesn't the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs come to the president with plans for possibilities of war when things start to heat up for any country?
00:10:56.960I mean, don't we have plans for invasions for lots of countries?
00:11:11.320They come in and say, Mr. President, if this happens, we recommend this, this, or this.
00:11:16.320And then he chooses one, and then it goes into a file, and it sits in a filing cabinet for a very, very long time until it's outdated or until they have to have it.
00:11:28.780And then they pull it out of the filing cabinet and say, Mr. President, this was the plan we chose.
00:11:36.280Now, it sounds much worse if we will just print that there's been a leak that what he's done is he's chosen the plan on how to destroy Iran.
00:11:54.000This is what I would like to call panicans.
00:11:57.560This is what I would like to call the media and their propaganda.
00:12:01.700This is what I would like to call negotiation as the reality.
00:12:06.720And this is also what I would like to call the reason why nobody watches or listens to the news anymore, because everything is leading right directly to your death.
00:12:19.340Now, some things might lead directly to your death.
00:17:48.620The opposition linked Iran International quotes officials as saying it only affected those receiving the broadcast via satellite, suggesting interference with satellite signals.
00:17:59.100So, in other words, they're TV broadcast stations, because we all have rabbit ears on our TVs now, you know.
00:18:06.760If you're getting it right directly from the stick, right from the TV antenna, you know, they can't hack that.
00:37:23.440Dogs don't always show you when something is missing.
00:37:25.860They don't tell you that they've been feeling a little slow lately or their stomach's been off for weeks or that their food, no matter how much they love it, just isn't giving them what they need.
00:37:44.960It's a supplement that you sprinkle on top loaded with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and all the good stuff that helps your dog thrive.
00:37:52.320You won't believe the difference until you see it.
00:37:54.420Better digestion, more energy, shinier coat, brighter eyes.
00:37:57.640It's like somebody wound the clock back a few years.
00:38:00.680If you love your dog, and I know you do, this is one of the easiest, most impactful changes that you can make.
00:41:04.140And there was a big controversy that kind of built up over this period where she had – the left seemed to be cheering for the baby to also die.
00:41:15.900The claim was basically the hospital was keeping her alive on life support as she was going through this pregnancy.
00:41:23.800She had basically no hope, unfortunately, of surviving.
00:41:27.380But the question was whether they would keep her alive on life support so that the baby could be born.
00:41:52.900But the family at the beginning seemed to be, like, just horrified that they would force this woman to just be this empty vessel just to create this child.
00:42:05.580And the left, like, embraced this sort of handmaid's tale narrative where, like, oh, we just heard now have – you know, women are just baby machines, baby factories that are just churning out these kids.
00:42:18.120And that's – and it's like – this is – by the way, the baby was now – was born by cesarean.
00:43:27.860Yesterday, yesterday, the Supreme Court, you know, after they said, oh, you can't kill your children, now they come out and say, you can't mutilate them either.
00:43:37.500They didn't say either of those things, unfortunately.
00:47:18.260Apparently there are three on the Supreme Court that thought, yeah, that's fine.
00:47:22.180But it was a very weird decision, I thought.
00:47:26.600But Alan Dershowitz is here to tell us about that and so much more.
00:47:30.240He's also the author of a book called The Preventative State, which is so important.
00:47:35.060I want to have him back on to talk about this because we are headed towards a state that is going to make decisions for us to prevent any kind of trouble.
00:47:47.700But like the Patriot Act, that is going to turn around and bite us in the ass.
00:47:52.260We'll talk to him about that probably on another broadcast.
00:47:56.240But Alan Dershowitz joins us in 60 seconds.
00:48:01.540The internet does not have a front door to lock.
00:48:03.960It doesn't have windows to bar, cameras you can install on the outside.
00:48:07.660And that's exactly why identity theft is so common now because most people have no idea who's looking at their information or what they're doing with it.
00:48:15.220And one stolen password, one fake credit application, one hacked account, that's all it takes.
00:48:20.780Then you have to spend months or even years unwinding all of that damage.
00:49:44.100It is insane, especially since, you know, the radical left says that a 17-and-a-half-year-old can't consent to have voluntary sex with their boyfriend.
00:49:55.720That would be sexist and that would be horrible.
00:49:57.960But they can consent to have an abortion and they can consent to have radical surgery that can't be reversed.
00:50:06.600By the way, the decision is like six to two-and-a-half.
00:50:10.660Elena Kagan, my former colleague at Harvard, didn't reach the merits of whether or not a state could actually ban these operations on a minor.
00:50:21.140She got involved in whether or not you need super-duper scrutiny or just super-scrutiny, a kind of, you know, a very technical thing.
00:50:30.460But she didn't rule on whether under any kind of scrutiny the state could do that.
00:50:37.160So definitely two of them said that the state could do it, but not necessarily a third one.
00:50:52.400States under the Constitution have the authority to decide medical issues.
00:50:57.500States decide a whole range of medical issues.
00:51:00.780I remember when I was a young professor, there was an issue of whether or not one twin could be operated on to remove a kidney to be given to another twin.
00:51:12.020And, you know, that case went all the way through the course.
00:51:14.000The federal government never got involved in that.
00:51:16.140That was up to the state of Massachusetts.
00:51:17.660And, you know, they made an interesting decision.
00:52:44.000And, you know, for me, if I were, you know, voting, I would not vote to allow a 17-year-old to make that irreversible decision.
00:52:53.660But if a state wants to do it and if a country in Europe wants to do it, all right.
00:52:58.540But the idea that there's a constitutional right for a minor who can't, you know, isn't old enough to consent to a contract or to have sex,
00:53:08.900is old enough to consent to do something that will change their life forever and they will come to regret is absurd.
00:53:16.240So I don't know how you feel about Justice Thomas, but he took on the so-called experts and really kind of took them to the woodshed.
00:53:39.160Most of the major cases that I've won have been cases where the experts went one way and we were persuading them that persuaded a jury or a judge that the expert is not really an expert.
00:53:51.380Experts have become partisans, just like everybody else.
00:53:55.060And so I'm glad that expertise is being challenged by judges.
00:54:01.200And, you know, experts ought to challenge judges, judges challenge experts.
00:54:48.460And honestly, if it would work in a state, we would all adopt it.
00:54:52.400But the problem is some of these things, like Romneycare, doesn't work.
00:54:57.260And so they want to rope the federal government into it because the federal government can just print money, you know.
00:55:03.780And, you know, any state wants to do anything.
00:55:06.360But, for instance, I have a real hard time with California right now because I have a feeling, you know, when they fail, we're going to be roped into paying for the things that we all knew were bad ideas.
00:55:15.600Why should I pay for it in Texas when I know that wouldn't work?
00:55:22.340And I've always wanted to live in California, but I don't because I know that's not going to work.
00:55:26.320Yeah, but, you know, conservatives sometimes take the opposite point of view.
00:55:34.000The same Justice Thomas says that a state cannot have the authority to decide that guns should not be available in Times Square or in schools.
00:55:46.300That there has to be a national openness to guns because of the Second Amendment.
00:55:50.940And, you know, you can argue reasonably what the Second Amendment means, but, you know, conservatives, many conservatives take the view that there has to be a single standard for guns, and states can't vary in their decisions how to control guns.
00:56:07.960I'm in favor of letting the states make those decisions.
00:56:10.460Doesn't that just take what the Bill of Rights is about and turns it up outside the head?
00:56:21.460I mean, it says, you know, anything not mentioned here, the states have the rights, but they cannot, the federal government cannot get involved in any of these things, and these are rights that are enshrined.
00:56:36.700So, I mean, because you could say that, but, you know, when it comes to health care, that's not in the Constitution, not in the Bill of Rights.
00:56:47.120The Second Amendment does provide for the right to bear arms.
00:56:50.540The question is whether it's interpreted in light of the beginning of the Second Amendment, which says essentially a well-regulated, well-regulated militia.
00:57:02.020Whether that applies to private ownership as well, whether it can be well-regulated by states.
00:57:08.660Look, these are interesting debates, and the Supreme Court, you know, decides these, but all I'm saying is that many of these decisions are in some way influenced by ideology.
00:57:20.880The words of the Constitution don't speak like, you know, the Ten Commandments and God giving orders from on high.
00:57:28.720They're often written in ambiguous terms, even the Ten Commandments.
00:57:32.880You know, it says, thou shalt not murder, and it's been interpreted by some to say thou shalt not kill.
01:02:13.780I think that is a really important topic because we are traveling down the roads where fascism, on both sides, where fascism can start to creep in.
01:02:26.500And it's all for your own good and all for your own protection.
01:10:45.360Yeah, the piece of inspiration per day calendar that you rip off the pages, they mostly do say things that are just very similar to death to Israel or death to the United States.
01:18:30.380There's a picture of the president and I.
01:18:32.260We're back in behind the Oval Office, and we're looking at the Rose Garden.
01:18:36.480And I said, this really pisses me off about Melania, because I know all she did was restore the Rose Garden exactly to the plans of Jackie O.
01:28:03.860And if something, you know, happens, if trouble shows up at your door in a parking lot on a late night walk, the time to get ready is already gone.
01:28:11.560The question is, what do you have for that moment?
01:28:14.440Prayer, a phone, or something else that actually levels the playing field?
01:28:19.740That's why I tell people about the burner launcher.
01:28:21.720It is non-lethal self-defense tool that looks and feels just like a firearm, a pretty large, sizable one.
01:28:27.800It fires pepper rounds, kinetic rounds, or a combination of the two.
01:28:32.260And it doesn't require a background check or anything else, even a permit.
01:28:35.300It's legal in all 50 states, and it fires tear gas and everything else.
01:28:38.420You're going to really, this is really, really good.
01:30:29.440I have a different stance, and it might even be different than Mike's, but he's going to join us in about half an hour to talk about what it actually says.
01:30:37.480But I want to go through some of the arguments on this, because I think we should have a real argument, especially for people.
01:30:42.620You know, what is it, 70% or 60% of the population lives east of the Mississippi.
01:31:19.480I'm not going to sit here for 60 seconds.
01:31:20.940Just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:31:23.920You want to sell your home fast for the right amount of money and have a great experience, realestateagentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:32:05.220The biggest environmentalists in the country are and always have been conservatives who like to hunt and fish.
01:32:09.600We don't just call ourselves environmentalists because the label has too much baggage and the practice always means just communist.
01:32:15.020Really, we are naturalists in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt, and that's why most of us hate the idea of selling off federal lands to build affordable housing or whatever.
01:32:24.360I want to get to affordable housing here in a second.
01:32:48.400We know how the circle of life works, so I agree with you on that, but affordable housing, what do you say, affordable housing or whatever?
01:32:58.880Are you afraid those will be black people?
01:33:52.100There is a balance between people and the planet, and I'm sorry, but when you're talking about one half of 1% and we're not talking about Yellowstone, you know, we're not.
01:34:05.440Benji Backer, the Daily Caller, he says,
01:34:08.920United States is attempting to sell off 3 million acres of public land to be used for housing development through the addition of the spending bill.
01:34:15.660This small provision to the big, beautiful bill would put land in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming at risk
01:34:24.920without so much as a full and fair debate by members of both sides of the political aisle.
01:34:30.700You know, I'll talk to him about this.
01:34:33.280The irony is the addition of this provision by Republican-led Senate goes entirely against conservation legacy of conservation.
01:34:40.660President Trump made a promise to revive this legacy, you know, yada, yada, yada, more about Teddy Roosevelt.
01:34:45.780Then, let me give you this one from Lomaz.
01:34:50.480Is Mike Lee part of a sinister plan to sell off federal land?
01:34:54.800This plan to sell off public lands is a terrible proposal that doesn't make any sense under our present circumstances
01:35:00.000and would be a colossal political blunder, but I'll try to be fair to base Mike Lee and at least have him explain where this is all coming from.
01:35:07.980Okay, I'm going to have him do that in about 30 minutes, but let me give you just my perspective on this.
01:36:10.480Well, that's about the size of France, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom combined.
01:36:17.780They own and hold pristine land that is more than the size of those countries combined, and most of that is west of the Mississippi, where the federal control smothers the states, shuts down opportunity, turns local citizens into tenants of the federal estate.
01:36:38.880You can't afford any house because you don't have any land, and the states can't afford to take care of all this land.
01:36:47.080And you know why the states can't afford?
01:36:48.600Because you can't charge taxes on 70% of your land.
01:36:55.240Anyway, so meanwhile, the folks east of the Mississippi, like Kentucky, Georgia, Pennsylvania, you don't even realize how little of the land you actually control or how easy it is for the same policies to come for you.
01:37:15.060Now, look, I am not talking about – I'm disturbed by Chris Ruffo saying that it is the Olympic forest.
01:37:22.560I mean, you're not going to live in the rainforest.
01:37:25.040I mean, I'd like to hear the case on that.
01:37:27.260But we're not talking about selling Yellowstone or paving over Yosemite or anything like that.
01:37:32.060We're talking about less than one-half of 1% of federal land, land that is remote, hard to access, or mismanaged.
01:37:41.920I live in the middle of a national forest, so I'm surrounded on all sides by a national forest, and then BLM land around that, and then me.
01:37:53.620You know who the worst neighbor I have is?
01:48:14.720When you have the federal government claiming that they, and actively, they already have the, they already have the money being pulled off every year.
01:48:22.560They have the money pulled off so they can buy more land.
01:48:25.880This is the only thing that they actually have a slush fund for that, you know, your social security, screw that.
01:48:32.940But they have the money to buy more land.
01:48:38.800Not so you can hunt and fish, but so they can push you into the cities.
01:48:44.260You're not going to be able to hunt and fish on that land by 2050.
01:48:48.900Your kids won't have that opportunity.
01:48:53.060Why do you think that all around the big national parks, they are letting the infrastructure, the roads, and everything else, in places where it's private land, why doesn't the government fix the roads, fix the infrastructure?
01:52:16.060A man who hates land, who hates fishing, who hates water, who hates air, who just wants to sell all of our national parks, or at least good portions of them, to private fat cats so he can build, quote, affordable housing.
01:52:32.140And we all know what that's code for, right?
01:52:35.140I mean, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
01:52:39.040And I have had this conversation with my family.
01:52:41.380And I've tried to explain that to them calmly and peacefully.
01:52:45.320And it doesn't seem to make an impact.
01:52:47.820But maybe Mike Lee, who is a much better orator than I am, can actually bring the facts to the table so we can stop having this stupid argument on selling the federal lands.
01:53:05.120You are hated by many members of my family because you want them to stop fishing.
01:53:10.180You want them to stop going to the national parks.
01:53:12.920You want they've been hunting in certain areas and you are going to take it from them.
01:53:17.020Look, if all I knew about this bill were the falsehoods being circulated by the left, I'd hate it, too.
01:53:26.680But look, Glenn, here's here's the truth.
01:53:29.720Every one of those statements that you made in your opening reflects falsehood.
01:53:34.540What we're dealing with is an entire generation of Americans that will fail to launch if we can't bring the dream of homeownership back within reach.
01:53:53.960Meanwhile, the federal government owns 640 million acres of land, nearly a third of all land in the United States.
01:54:03.000The vast majority of that land has zero recreational value.
01:54:06.940So, disposing of a fraction of one percent of that so that the next generation can afford a home is a common sense solution to a national problem.
01:54:18.520Now, there are a lot of Mike, I will tell you that that sounds great.
01:54:23.360But you're talking about building an affordable housing in deep in the Olympic Peninsula, which is a rainforest.
01:54:36.940Not a and looked at the map being circulated by the left wing Wilderness Society run by President Biden's own BLM director and eco-terrorist, you know, Tracy Stone Manning is flat out misleading.
01:54:50.580First of all, when this bill puts land up, puts it in the category of eligibility for sale, it doesn't mean for sale.
01:54:59.480It just means there's a process by which it could be transferred.
01:55:04.440Secondly, with regard to any of these protected lands, the crown jewel lands of the United States, in this bill, it can't operate.
01:55:16.700Like, legally, it excludes anything that's within any of the 15 designations of federally protected land.
01:55:24.280So if it's in a national park, a wilderness area, a recreation area, wild and scenic rivers, trails, preserves, seashores, lakeshores, historic parks, memorials, any of the 15 categories, it's not even eligible for this.
01:55:39.400And they're working on changes to further limit eligible lands to those forest service land within two miles of a population center and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management within five miles of a population center.
01:55:57.440So this deals with land that is only in or near a place where people live, and it doesn't authorize the sale.
01:56:07.740It authorizes a process whereby it could be considered for that purpose.
01:56:11.880You know, I have heard, I have heard from my, I've heard from my environmentalist friends and family that that doesn't give anyone any, they have no say in their own lands.
01:56:53.740It doesn't fit within any of the categories of protected land.
01:56:57.520It's within either two miles or five miles of an existing population center, depending on whether it's Forest Service or BLM land.
01:57:06.300And at the end of the day, if the land is deemed suitable for single-family housing, and by the way, that's all it's allowed for is single-family housing, not high-density housing of any kind,
01:57:18.460then and only then can it be purchased at a discounted rate so that more people can have access to land.
01:57:28.820Now, look, we're talking here about nothing that would affect grazing rights.
01:57:34.540It incorporates valid existing rights, including grazing rights, and would take that land out of eligibility for sale on something like this.
01:57:45.860There is no land that will necessarily be sold, transferred, or handed over just because it appears on one of these maps.
01:57:55.160What we're dealing with is a fraction of 1% of the land owned by the U.S. government,
01:57:59.880an entity that was never supposed to own between a fourth and a third of the land in the United States.
01:58:10.660This is garden-variety land that's just sitting there vacant where people can, do, and should live.
01:58:17.760Mike, why is this so controversial among conservatives?
01:58:24.620Well, frankly, I think some of it is being driven by the left, by misinformation driven by the left and by people like Tracy Stone Manning.
01:58:34.200I think there are other people, other people who would consider themselves conservatives, who for one reason or another are not working off of accurate information.
01:58:48.920And because they mistakenly believe that this bill would do more than it actually does, that it would sell every parcel of land that we've got or every parcel of land that's listed as potentially eligible here, that that's going to bring on Armageddon.
01:59:06.600But again, we're talking about a tiny fraction of all the land the U.S. government owns, a fraction of 1% of all that.
01:59:14.300And in states like mine, in Utah, where the federal government owns close to 70% of the land in our state, and meanwhile, we've got people moving in from places like California.
01:59:27.140We've got families that are growing, and people are experiencing a genuine housing shortage.
01:59:36.400President Trump knows that this is unacceptable, that America should be dealing with such a housing crisis, especially in western states like mine, where there's a lot of federal land.
01:59:47.660That's why President Trump has talked about this sort of thing.
01:59:57.820What are the chances that this goes through as is?
02:00:00.940Look, I think we've got a very good chance of it going through as part of the big, beautiful bill, which the Senate will be considering as early as next week.
02:00:15.600And, look, the American people will be better off as a result of this.
02:00:20.400We have to realize that it's more important, particularly in lands that are in or near existing population centers, we opt to make some of that available, especially in states with a lot of public land like mine.
02:00:40.800I have family members, Mike, that, you know, I've been joking about it here, but I have family members been going back and forth with me.
02:00:47.660I mean, we've had great conversations, but it is, they are really, truly terrified that the land that they have hunted on, they've camped on, they've hiked on, is all going to be gone, and they won't have anything to say about it.
02:01:04.720Yes, well, and that's simply not true.
02:01:07.280Look, we've got state and local government consultation requirements, and the agencies are still going to have to comply with all kinds of existing federal laws, including the APA necessitating a public process by which these lands would be considered.
02:01:28.300And so, those who are suggesting this bill does more than it actually does, in some instances, people might be operating on good faith based on things others have repeated.
02:01:40.580But I think a lot of this is being driven by the far left and by people like eco-terrorist Tracy Stone Manning, who accept as almost an article of faith that you can't ever allow any land that is today under the ownership of the U.S. government, you can't ever let that be owned by anyone else.
02:02:01.420It's simply illogical, and it's very unfair to those who live in public land states.
02:02:06.760And 30 by 30 wants 30 percent, so they want to gain another 3 percent, and 50 by 50 wants 50 percent of the American land.
02:02:47.280And the other thing that really bothers me that the federal government is doing, our treasury is doing, is they're trying to put all of our land onto our balance sheet.
02:03:20.960It's that we've got to get a hold of our debt and deficit.
02:03:24.320We've also got to make it possible for people to continue to live the American dream.
02:03:31.080And the way to happiness is not more government ownership.
02:03:35.080The way to happiness is to allow the American people a fighting chance in the race of life and the ability to raise their families.
02:03:46.640It's just on no planet is unreasonable to say we're going to take a fraction of a percent of federal land that's not protected and make it potentially eligible for consideration for a place where people could live.
02:04:01.620Quickly, Mike, how did they get all this land?
02:04:08.760As states were added to the union, starting really with the Louisiana Purchase, land that was not owned by somebody as of the moment of statehood was very often deemed federal in the Statehood Enabling Act of the state in question.
02:04:24.720In states like mine, many of those states added since the Louisiana Purchase got language in there contemplating that that federal land would ultimately be sold and that as it was sold, a percentage of it would go to the state, often as is the case in Utah's Enabling Act, for the benefit of the state's public education system.
02:04:44.660The U.S. government honored that plan with respect to states throughout the Midwest.
02:04:52.500When we got to the Rocky Mountains, the land was regarded as rugged, not as valuable, and it didn't unfold that way.
02:05:00.260And policy changed in the mid-70s, not leading to that.
02:05:03.840But this all comes back to something that was actually discussed at the Constitutional Convention.
02:05:09.260I believe it was Airbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, who in September of 1787 raised a concern, talking about the fact that, you know, it could be a problem.
02:05:20.520If the U.S. government controlled too much land in some of the states and utilized its vast authority over that land, it could compel those states to an undue sort of subservience to the U.S. government.
02:05:35.400And it's a legitimate concern, and it's a concern that I think is reflected in this bill.
02:05:40.720But this bill, more than anything, is there to help the American people afford housing, particularly in states like mine, where there's a lot of federal land that doesn't have any recreational value or aesthetic value or scientific value, but is in a place where people live and need homes.
02:05:56.300That should at least be eligible for consideration.
02:06:03.480But I've got to tell you, there's not a single person that signed the Constitution that would have signed it if they knew the federal government could control 70% of their land.
02:06:34.420It steals your energy, your momentum, your patience.
02:06:37.080Maybe worst of all, it sucks all the joy out of your day.
02:06:40.880Waking up in the morning, sometimes something you have to suffer through rather than something you get to appreciate for the miracle that it is.
02:06:47.060You're getting up another day and it's beautiful out.
02:06:49.320The longer you let it stay, the more of your life it starts to just sap and take away.
02:08:00.840It's bigger than just what the bottom line says.
02:08:05.280So do you agree with what it's saying?
02:08:06.960Because in today's market, far too many retirement accounts and investment plans are quietly funding the very ideas and institutions that you stand against.
02:08:14.540Radical environmental groups and pro-abortion activism and anti-American interests are all bundled inside your so-called diversified assets.
02:08:24.560This is where Constitution Wealth is different.

02:08:47.860This isn't just about financial success.
02:08:49.840It's about financial stewardship, about knowing what you're building and will it reflect the same truth that you live by.
02:08:57.540So if you're ready to invest with clarity, with conviction, and with confidence in what your money is actually doing, this is the place to start.
