00:00:00.000 A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:00:05.000 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:00:09.000 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:00:12.000 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
00:00:17.000 That's how we protect Ontario.
00:00:19.000 For all of us.
00:00:21.000 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash Safer Ontario. Paid for by the Government of Ontario.
00:00:30.000 Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
00:00:33.660 We lock the doors, we install the cameras, but there's another way that your home can
00:00:37.520 be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.
00:00:41.100 It is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what it sounds like.
00:00:45.200 Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of
00:00:49.440 your home into their name, and then once all that happens, they can attempt to take
00:00:54.280 out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you.
00:00:58.140 The scary part is, you don't really know much about this as it's going on.
00:01:01.680 Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically protect you from this.
00:01:05.060 And the mortgage company isn't looking for it either.
00:01:07.820 That's why you need Home Title Lock.
00:01:09.240 They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud.

00:02:23.900 Glenn Beck is on, Glenn Beck is on
00:02:28.900 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment
00:02:44.640 This is the Glenn Beck Program
00:02:49.720 Glenn Beck is on
00:02:51.360 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It is Friday.
00:02:56.620 Well, there's a lot to talk about. One, the California fraud.
00:03:00.400 I was in California over the weekend, and I have to tell you, I couldn't get my ass on an airplane out of that state fast enough.
00:03:08.980 Oh, my. I love you, Californians. I do.
00:03:15.220 Well, not all of you. Well, I do love all of you. I just get really pissed off when I'm around most
00:03:23.080 of you. But anyway, we'll talk about that and the fraud here in just a second. Also, the stock
00:03:30.100 market is crashing. The stock market is crashing. What happened on Friday? I'll help you understand
00:03:35.300 why we lost more money in the stock market than any other time in history. Also, last night,
00:03:43.340 it's i don't know 12 o'clock my phone rings i'm in bed phone rings glenn is president trump uh
00:03:52.620 and uh we talked a little bit about him uh at uh we talked about him uh at uh meet the press
00:04:02.460 and i said i just finished writing a monologue about that mr president and i shared a few
00:04:07.820 few minutes uh of it and and he liked it i think you're going to love it i've had it with the
00:04:15.700 the egomaniacs in the press that are so megalomaniacal that they just think that they
00:04:25.620 they know everything and everyone else is a ridiculous fool i can't take it anymore so
00:04:31.340 i got a few rants in me today and we start with california and i'm sorry the alleged fraud
00:04:37.480 in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. For 250 years, Americans have
00:04:43.340 believed in one powerful idea. They're meant to live free, to build things, to free to explore,
00:04:48.840 free to work hard, play hard, make the most of the time that we've been given. The idea is really
00:04:53.540 central to who we are, which is why it's so frustrating when simple aches and pains start
00:04:58.560 taking those freedoms away from us. And, you know, maybe it's your knees when you stand up,
00:05:02.280 maybe it's your back when you get out of bed, maybe it's your hands you try to do things you've
00:05:05.600 done for years and inflammation is at the root of a lot of that stuff and relief factor was created
00:05:12.280 to help address that it's a daily supplement developed by doctors designed to reduce and a
00:05:18.320 million people have tried it and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more month after month
00:05:22.780 i'm one of them as we celebrate our 250 years of independence give yourself a chance to reclaim
00:05:27.860 your independence from pain they're offering a special patriotic price right now just 17 and 76
00:05:33.860 sense you can pursue your happiness pain-free 1776 is the price of three-week quick starts ready
00:05:39.760 for you now visit relieffactor.com relieffactor.com 1-800-4-RELIEF so right now as i speak millions of
00:05:52.280 ballots in california are still being counted days weeks after the polls have closed in their primary
00:06:00.020 Well, has it been a week?
00:06:00.920 It's been almost a week.
00:06:02.140 So, days and days.
00:06:04.420 We're weeks away from finding out a final answer.
00:06:06.600 But, uh, we are told by Californians just to be patient.
00:06:13.240 This is normal.
00:06:14.060 No, no, I, you know, it's not normal.
00:06:16.320 No, one thing you could say about it, it is not normal.
00:06:19.520 In fact, this is a breach of trust that is, I mean, it's, it's a little profound.
00:06:25.540 It's a little profound because I think it's going to shake apart the foundations of the
00:06:29.740 republic just a little bit, you know.
00:06:32.220 Imagine this.
00:06:33.100 On election night, votes come in.
00:06:35.940 We see the will of the people, clear as day, in almost every place.
00:06:41.640 But then the ballots keep rolling in, late ones, cured ones.
00:06:48.540 Ballots from God only knows where, verified by signatures that a tired clerk glances
00:06:55.280 this ad under a fluorescent light and says, yep, that's it. And suddenly the leads shift and the
00:07:00.900 right people win. And it's weird. It's the right people that win every single time. I'm never
00:07:09.840 surprised. The votes come in and I'm never surprised at who wins. Are you? Wouldn't you
00:07:17.400 think just just just playing the odds occasionally you'd be surprised now you don't need to be you
00:07:26.680 know a conspiracy theorist to smell the rot here you just need eyes and a memory you know longer
00:07:32.760 than yesterday's news cycle which is hard for most gold americans this is at least the appearance
00:07:40.200 of corruption and yes appearance matters because voting isn't just a mechanical process
00:07:47.900 voting is built on trust and in god we trust except at the polls i'd like to see some transparency
00:07:59.200 the trust that we need is the sense that your ballot counts as the same as mine
00:08:05.720 I have to trust that the dead aren't suddenly voting, that non-citizens aren't registered and voting, that the rolls are clean, the chain of custody is ironclad, that no one knows exactly how these ballots are found.
00:08:22.920 I'd like to know that nobody knows how many ballots they need to find.
00:08:27.760 California has done absolutely everything to avoid and to erode that trust avoid fixing it
00:08:36.940 and eroding it every single day universal mail-in ballots they send them out to every registered
00:08:45.400 voter active or not they just send millions out strict photo id for mail votes nah automatic
00:08:53.540 registration. Yeah. Same day ballot registration. Sure. Ballot harvesting. Yeah, it's legalized.
00:09:01.500 So we can hire a third party group to go out and scoop up bundles of ballots for us from the
00:09:08.180 homeless. Loose deadlines. Yeah, but got to be postmarked by election day. We'll count them.
00:09:14.720 We'll count them if they show up a week or maybe two, maybe three. How many votes do we need?
00:09:21.220 Signature verification, subjective at best.
00:09:26.700 The voter rolls bloated with ghosts,
00:09:29.720 hundreds of thousands of questionable names and addresses.
00:09:33.380 You know, federal auditors are fighting tooth and nail just to look at them.
00:09:37.240 But for some reason, California is like,
00:09:39.260 this is sacred in a state where nothing is sacred.
00:09:42.880 Well, except for mutilating our children.
00:09:45.300 I think that's sacred to them.
00:09:46.540 With all of the sophisticated technology in all of Silicon Valley, AI, blockchain, instant global transactions, I can send a billion dollars from my town to your town or to China or Germany, and I can do it within a 24-hour period.
00:10:08.220 but counting the votes in california nope can't do it just too hard other states do it florida
00:10:16.020 texas they have the results get this this is crazy on the same night yeah yeah yeah now most
00:10:24.340 modern countries tally on the same night or the next day and they use paper ballots and precinct
00:10:32.940 counts. They can do it, but California, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. California is too darn
00:10:39.960 sophisticated. We can't do that. Conveniently, those late ballots tend to lean one way,
00:10:48.580 and when the Republicans surge early, well, just wait for the miracle ballots to arrive.
00:10:55.380 Now, you might be in California.
00:11:02.580 You might be like, that evil Glenn Beck.
00:11:07.740 What makes me evil?
00:11:09.060 Because I believe this?
00:11:11.120 You don't have any proof.
00:11:12.440 No, I don't.
00:11:13.220 Like I said at the very beginning, perception is really important
00:11:19.520 when you're talking about something built on trust.
00:11:22.840 so for those of you who think glenn beck you're just an evil guy okay let me just reverse this
00:11:29.860 let's say republicans control california okay they run the roles they write the rules they
00:11:37.620 staff the counting centers election night ends with democrats leading in key races then for days
00:11:46.020 and weeks mysterious republican leaning email or mail-in ballots suddenly flood in they're
00:11:53.160 suddenly verified suddenly the tide turns every single time towards the republicans the leads
00:12:00.240 evaporate gone are you telling me you wouldn't be screaming bloody murder are you are you telling
00:12:08.060 me you wouldn't be you wouldn't have organizations out in the streets protesting right now with signs
00:12:13.000 printed by a union shop that says rigged stolen threat to democracy the firestorms in the media
00:12:20.520 would be relentless congressional hero testimonies and hearings protest in the streets and you know
00:12:28.860 what you do all that but you one thing you'd be right on is to demand answers because no one side
00:12:36.180 should tolerate uh the lack of transparency but when it's your system relax relax you conspiracy
00:12:47.220 theory this is design this is this is trust the process oh my gosh trust the process uh like you'd
00:12:55.920 be saying that i want you to know this is not about left or right winning it's really not not
00:13:02.020 at least not with me i am totally willing to to uh accept the people's decision when it is fair
00:13:09.900 when it is honest and fair and we can count every vote we know that nobody's voting nobody's dead
00:13:16.020 that's voting nobody's voting that's here illegally when all of that has stuff happens
00:13:20.300 and a transparency is there i am totally fine totally fine accepting the outcome it's just when
00:13:29.480 things happen uh like it takes days and days and days to count everything and then suddenly you
00:13:35.840 found i just found these in my van i'm sure you did i'm sure you did okay see i believe the people
00:13:44.140 should decide i believe the process should not should not um obstruct that and it's bigger than
00:13:55.680 one primary this is about the soul of self-government can we can we govern ourselves
00:14:04.120 no apparently not no because we won't do the one thing the founders warned us it said you got to do
00:14:10.740 this you have to be eternally vigilant that's the price of liberty they designed a system where
00:14:17.760 power flows from the consent of the government not from the shadowy back rooms where ballots
00:14:23.260 appear like manna from heaven come on so what does all of this mean well it just means that
00:14:32.560 trust will die division cynicism uh will grow and then eventually it collapses gee it sounds
00:14:42.020 kind of like exactly what the left is looking for doesn't it i mean oh glenn that is so cynical
00:14:49.640 they're not doing that you have no proof of them doing that no i i well not in this case but in
00:14:56.940 almost every other case i do have evidence of that but in this case no i can't say that that's
00:15:03.860 but it's it's weird it's weird and it leads to distrust
00:15:11.080 okay so you can despair or you can get to you get violent that's what they would do
00:15:22.520 i say we just screw our courage to the sticking place i did that because liberals
00:15:30.460 love when people quote shakespeare
00:15:32.520 here's what here's what we need we need the kind of courage that you know the persecuted church
00:15:42.180 in iraq showed me when i was over in iraq years ago they like isis said we're going to blow up
00:15:51.040 the church you're in at 7 p.m tonight i get there at 6 30 and like okay we're moving out right we're
00:15:56.820 all nope nope courage i'm looking for the courage like the 12 steps in courage radical honesty
00:16:08.200 moral inventory making amends i'm looking for the courage where we all stand up and say
00:16:15.080 we demand reform why are we not passing the save act photo id clean rolls same day or strict
00:16:26.260 deadlines, real chain of custody. I don't know, that might be a good idea. Election day focus,
00:16:35.920 transparent audits, paper trails, you can verify, bipartisan observation.
00:16:41.720 All sides should want this. Why is it only one side does? Why? Why?
00:16:48.040 This is the truth, whether you like it or not. An election, an election, it revolves around
00:16:55.780 trust and perception is not a cheap thing perception is the whole thing a ballot is just
00:17:05.620 paper until the free people agree to be bound by the count and the moment half the country stops
00:17:12.900 believing the count the paper means nothing the consent of the government is gone and if you're
00:17:19.620 left ruling over strangers who are certain they were robbed, that's a problem. That is the fragile
00:17:26.620 machinery of self-government, and it runs only on one fuel and one fuel only, and that is trust.
00:17:34.120 So sit with what that means. We live in an era where I can move billions of dollars across the
00:17:40.480 planet in half a second. You can unlock your phone by glancing at your phone with your fat face.
00:17:47.400 we can track a package to your porch down to the minute and see the video from across the world
00:17:54.040 and somehow we can't figure out in california how to tell you who won by wednesday morning
00:18:00.600 there's no excuse for that none the technology is not the obstacle will is the obstacle
00:18:07.220 and when a thing this solvable stays unsolved election after election drifting in the same
00:18:13.820 direction every time you're going to be so surprised who won this election you're not
00:18:18.640 asking people to be patient you're asking them to be blind okay that's the truth and it's not just
00:18:28.920 all paranoia oh these people there's all paranoia hear me because i'm pleading with you i'm not
00:18:34.860 accusing you you're the ones holding the power on on your end okay you're the one so far you've
00:18:41.060 chosen not to do anything every time you refuse to hand over the rolls every time you brand
00:18:46.040 voter id voter suppression the very same card a man needs to drive a car or board a plane or buy
00:18:53.760 a beer or rent an apartment or cash a check or collect government assistance every time you
00:19:00.040 fight an audit in the dark instead of throwing the doors open to it in the light you don't calm
00:19:06.100 fear, you feed it, and you know that. You teach half of your own countrymen lesson by patient
00:19:11.820 lesson that the count can't be trusted, and a republic simply doesn't survive with that belief,
00:19:17.200 no matter which side it turns out to be right. So I'm asking you not to concede a single election.
00:19:24.420 I'm asking you to make it impossible to doubt the election. Clean the rolls. Show the chain of
00:19:30.820 custody require the card count it in the open if your ideas win in the daylight then for the love
00:19:38.060 of this country turn on the lights because the alternative was never your side losing the
00:19:45.760 alternative is that nobody ever believes anyone ever won again and that my friend is how a republic
00:19:51.700 dies all right back in just a second let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's the
00:19:57.220 and a launcher you don't need much bad luck for a normal day to turn into a tragedy we've been
00:20:02.060 you know reminded of that in the news lately a knife in the hand of somebody who wants to hurt
00:20:07.080 you is a terrifying thing it doesn't take some elaborate weapon doesn't take a gang of criminals
00:20:12.380 it takes one dangerous person and a few bad seconds of luck you can't count on the police
00:20:18.680 saving you from every bad situation every time one arises which means something when something
00:20:23.740 happens, you're going to be the first person responsible for your own safety and the safety
00:20:27.760 of your family. That's why I want you to know about Berna. Berna, B-Y-R-N-A. They make less
00:20:32.200 lethal self-defense launchers designed to help stop a threat from a distance. They're legal in
00:20:37.080 all 50 states. No background check is required, and they can protect you without you carrying a

00:20:50.340 or four-and-a-half-star reviews.
00:20:52.480 Right now, Burna is offering $100 off the Burna LE Gen 2,
00:20:57.160 a great, great weapon.
00:20:59.160 It's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com.

00:21:03.940 It's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A, Burna.com.
00:21:08.040 10 seconds, station ID.
00:21:20.340 So I go to California, to San Diego, and I'm there on Saturday, and I'm speaking at the Midway, the aircraft carrier of the Midway.
00:21:37.720 And I get up to give my speech, and the program's running 15 minutes late.
00:21:42.420 Every program runs 15 minutes late.
00:21:45.000 It's running 15 minutes late.
00:21:47.240 And we have fireworks that have to go off.
00:21:49.420 And I'm just assuming, oh, fireworks will go off a few minutes late.
00:21:52.460 That's what happened even in New York.
00:21:54.040 Fireworks went off a little late.
00:21:56.440 But not in California.
00:21:58.920 Nope.
00:21:59.280 The city of San Diego.
00:22:00.340 Those fireworks have got to be over by 10 o'clock because you'll wake up the neighbors.
00:22:05.020 Really?
00:22:05.560 With fireworks.
00:22:06.920 Fireworks got to be over by 10 o'clock.
00:22:09.760 Okay.
00:22:10.400 All right.
00:22:10.840 We'll do that.
00:22:11.780 So the thing is running late.
00:22:13.260 So I have to, the organizers come to me and they say,
00:22:16.520 can you do your speech after the fireworks and i'm like that's a little anticlimactic
00:22:21.640 i mean i just say i've been told not to follow children or puppies i'm going to add fireworks
00:22:30.000 to that list you don't fire you don't follow fireworks with a speech but i do it because
00:22:36.160 we got to get the fireworks off by 10 o'clock gotta be over so i get on stage and i start talking
00:22:42.340 and uh they said what is he doing on the stage it's 10 o'clock he's got to be off the stage
00:22:49.280 it's 10 o'clock and he's like he's got 15 minutes he's just gonna give it so 10 15 they are literally
00:22:56.140 saying to the organizers we are pulling the plug for 15 minutes she had to stop them from pulling
00:23:02.180 the plug and the electricity oh tina next time let them pull the plug let them pull the plug
00:23:07.260 It would have been an honor to have the city of San Diego actually go through with their threats that they made as we rented the Midway to do a patriotic 250 anniversary for America.
00:23:25.360 San Diego, you know what?
00:23:29.480 You've earned the right to live in California.
00:23:33.160 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:23:35.580 It's Patriot Mobile.
00:23:36.340 You know why most women in our country today who get an abortion go through with it?

00:25:46.360 You get a whole bunch of information we just can't get to
00:25:49.240 because I've got to cover a whole buttload of stuff as well,
00:25:53.520 and I want to turn now to the economy
00:25:55.360 because people were freaking out on Friday.
00:25:59.160 What is happening to the economy?
00:26:01.080 What is happening?
00:26:02.140 The stock market, worst day ever.
00:26:05.180 Okay, relax, relax.
00:26:07.960 Dow gave up 695 points on Friday.
00:26:12.200 S&P dropped 2.6.
00:26:13.900 NASDAQ, where all the tech and AI money lives, fell 4.2.
00:26:18.340 Ugliest day in more than a year.
00:26:20.900 by the closing bell, roughly a trillion dollars just went poof. Okay. All right. Bitcoin went
00:26:29.180 right along with it. Okay. Worst week since February. I think it was down like $62,000 for
00:26:34.340 a coin, a Bitcoin. And, and people were saying to me, Glenn, wait, hang on. How come this,
00:26:42.480 because didn't we have good numbers? Yes. All of this happened on a good jobs report.
00:26:46.980 employers here's the good news employers added 172 000 jobs in may that's more than double the
00:26:54.460 80 000 that the so-called experts forecast okay unemployment i think is still at 4.3 percent held
00:27:02.060 even by every plain english measure americans are working things are good okay so why did the
00:27:10.020 market panic on news that you and i would call encouraging more people are working sit with me
00:27:15.900 for a second because i'm about to show you the whole game for two years wall street has been
00:27:21.900 betting on one thing above all else well you might say it's ai but it's not it's deeper than that
00:27:31.500 it's the federal reserve about to make money cheap again and they love cheap money you cut the
00:27:38.740 interest rates borrowing becomes easier companies look more valuable on paper the sky high ai stocks
00:27:45.600 just keep climbing because people will borrow more money in big business and they'll buy it
00:27:50.560 cheaply and then they'll buy more stocks and that just keeps so the entire rally was was leaning on
00:27:56.760 the assumption uh that that you know uh money is going to become cheap again and that was kind of
00:28:03.440 like leaning on have you ever leaned on a door where you thought was closed or unlocked and you
00:28:07.840 fell through it was kind of like that on friday okay jobs numbers come out they come hot and the
00:28:13.340 door swings wide open and everybody falls on the ground. Because a strong economy with lots of jobs,
00:28:21.080 rising prices, Fed can't cut interest rates. Means no cheap money. Means, uh-oh, AI better start
00:28:30.080 producing. Okay? Inflation hit 3.8% in April. That is the highest in nearly three years. It's all
00:28:36.660 driven by the energy spike from the war in Iran, which we'll get to in a little while.
00:28:40.060 so the rate cuts that wall street had penciled in they're like we're gonna be able to borrow
00:28:46.000 more money at a zero percent interest we're gonna get so rich and now goldman sachs comes out and
00:28:51.580 says yeah i don't think that's gonna happen so the traders were betting that you know they were
00:28:58.260 gonna get cheap money now they get a rate hike and they all fall through the door and the ai trade
00:29:05.240 was already cracking before any of that, okay?
00:29:08.740 Days earlier, Broadcom, one of the companies that,
00:29:12.600 you know, selling picks and shovels
00:29:15.400 for this whole AI gold rush,
00:29:17.580 turned in strong numbers,
00:29:19.040 but refused to raise its outlook for the year.
00:29:22.300 That was the first whisper of, what's going on?
00:29:26.020 If all of this spending isn't ramping up as fast
00:29:28.820 as all the hype has promised, what's going to happen?
00:29:32.020 So to feel the size underneath of this,
00:29:35.240 Google's parent company is out right now
00:29:39.420 trying to raise just a measly $85 billion.
00:29:42.900 We just need to build some additional AI machinery.
00:29:45.860 It's just $85 billion.
00:29:47.500 It's no big, $85 billion.
00:29:50.500 And that expects the stock market to go,
00:29:55.020 oh, you're going to pay that off perfectly.
00:29:56.640 It's only $85 billion.
00:29:59.080 No big deal.
00:29:59.900 And we're fine with AI, okay?
00:30:02.060 So understand what actually happened here.
00:30:04.540 It wasn't the good news that scared everybody Friday.
00:30:07.040 It was the truth that the Fed is not riding in to rescue the overpriced stocks.
00:30:12.860 And maybe, just maybe, the AI miracle has a price tag attached to it that somebody should check before buying stock.
00:30:20.860 Okay?
00:30:23.040 You may not own a share of NVIDIA, but this affected you.
00:30:27.480 That 401k or pension that you're counting on rides on the market.
00:30:31.480 And days like Friday took a big bite out of it.
00:30:34.920 Also, you want a mortgage on the house.
00:30:37.080 The 10-year is now above 4.5%.
00:30:39.680 The rates are punishing.
00:30:41.860 It's going to stay that way.
00:30:43.280 Your grocery bill, your gas, your rent, inflation is at 3.8.
00:30:47.020 It means they're not coming down soon.
00:30:49.240 And a Fed that has to stay tough on the price inflation and is going to,
00:30:55.820 that means it's going to be tough for a while.
00:30:58.440 And small business, if you're a business owner, you need a loan to expand or just to make payroll, tightening screws coming your way.
00:31:11.260 And that's the truth about it.
00:31:13.300 That's how it affects you.
00:31:14.740 Forget about everything else.
00:31:16.120 That's how this affects you.
00:31:18.220 America's strength, however, has never come from cheap money or get-rich-quick fevers.
00:31:23.300 It never has.
00:31:24.480 Pain always comes from that.
00:31:26.760 Always.
00:31:28.440 Where America has always rallied, done well, and fixed herself is when people who make things, fix things, grow things, show up, and are encouraged to do what they do best.
00:31:47.880 A strong jobs report is genuinely good.
00:31:52.320 It means your neighbor is working.
00:31:55.340 But what you have to understand, the sickness isn't jobs.
00:31:58.440 The sickness is an economy that holds its breath
00:32:02.240 while waiting on a handful of central bankers
00:32:05.020 and a trillion-dollar wager on machines.
00:32:09.840 They're counting on the game that you and I keep getting screwed by.
00:32:14.180 So don't hang your hope on the Fed or on Washington
00:32:17.780 or the next shiny thing the market is chasing.
00:32:21.580 Hang it where it belongs.
00:32:23.440 You, get out from under your debt
00:32:26.100 wherever and however you can build something that doesn't depend on a rate cut strengthen
00:32:33.460 your family and the people around you real security was never it was never something
00:32:40.460 that was printed on a building on constitution avenue it was built in your home with your hands
00:32:46.460 and with your character the market is going to recover it's going to and it will really recover
00:32:54.300 And it will actually be something you can watch again when reality begins to shake hands again with price.
00:33:06.960 It always returns.
00:33:08.080 When that happens, you're going to be fine.
00:33:10.120 But you and I have to pretend or stop pretending that Wall Street, you know, is the country.
00:33:17.060 It's not.
00:33:17.580 It pisses me off every time I hear something.
00:33:19.340 Well, Wall Street is doing well.
00:33:20.920 Yeah, well, Main Street's not.
00:33:23.100 Okay.
00:33:23.900 Wall Street's mood is not the measure of the country.
00:33:26.760 You are.
00:33:27.700 Most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water.
00:33:32.780 You turn the faucet on, you fill a glass, and you assume it's fine.
00:33:35.720 And it's been that way all of our lives, right?
00:33:37.440 Right?
00:33:38.080 Right?
00:33:39.300 Well, when you were a kid, you didn't even think about filling your glass from the tap with water.
00:33:44.880 Of course not.
00:33:45.500 And maybe you haven't as an adult either.
00:33:46.820 But there are studies looking at, what is it, atrazine?
00:33:49.320 That is a common agricultural pesticide.
00:33:51.560 You know, there are all sorts of weird things that happen with animals of this stuff, and it's known to run off into water sources.
00:33:58.960 There's fluoride that the government puts into water, of course, you know, for teeth.
00:34:03.080 But like, yeah, do you want that?
00:34:04.360 Do you not want it?
00:34:05.140 Do you want to take it out?

00:36:20.160 Glenn Beck will be right back.
00:36:44.160 i don't know if you saw the president on meet the press yesterday but he walked out of uh of the
00:36:56.100 interview uh and i cheered i cheered good i'm so sick of these people um and the arrogance i traveled
00:37:05.580 all the way to wisconsin for this interview oh did you sweetheart oh poor baby um
00:37:13.620 And so she's just relentless on, you know, denying anything is happening in California.
00:37:20.220 And what he's saying is there should be an investigation.
00:37:22.860 Should be investigation.
00:37:23.800 Why is this happening?
00:37:25.060 And every American should want that.
00:37:26.960 You know what?
00:37:27.300 The investigation may show up.
00:37:28.520 Nothing may show nothing.
00:37:29.880 Absolutely nothing.
00:37:30.500 But it should be open and transparent and we should know it.
00:37:33.380 And there has been lots of stuff that has come out on voter fraud.
00:37:37.100 And that's why we should be passing the, you know, save act.
00:37:40.140 But of course, Congress can't busy themselves.
00:37:41.940 they're too busy doing nothing to be able to get that done so you know i can understand it because
00:37:48.000 they are doing nothing and they're doing it all the time uh and that takes a lot out of a person
00:37:54.460 have you ever done nothing all day every day it's tiring anyway we're gonna have um uh bill
00:38:01.920 bill assaili uh he is the first assistant u.s district attorney or u.s attorney for the central
00:38:07.840 District of California. He is the guy who is, he's got a team of 500 lawyers, and they're in
00:38:14.600 California right now. And he is the guy who can tell us, why is California refusing to audit their
00:38:22.540 own voter rolls? What's really going on there, Bill? We're going to ask him here in just a second.
00:38:26.560 You don't want to miss that. Also, today really kind of kicks off, actually tomorrow, kicks off
00:38:33.340 our summer of 250 it's a educational thing that we're doing all summer long we've got all kinds
00:38:39.260 of things happening on torch at glennbeck.com for families and lifetime learners for anybody
00:38:45.220 who still believes america is worth learning about and understanding so over the summer we
00:38:51.140 are releasing 10 original songs to teach the first 10 amendments in the bill of rights like
00:38:55.880 never before and they each come with a coordinating lesson plan for your family in a way to discuss it
00:39:02.120 It's not like memorize this.
00:39:03.880 It's discuss these.
00:39:05.500 The song should help you memorizing.
00:39:07.740 Do we have a cut, a piece of amendment number one?
00:39:11.440 It's called Five in the First.
00:39:12.460 Here it is.
00:39:32.120 In the first five, in the first one.
00:39:34.400 Five, in the first five, in the first one.
00:39:38.400 I got to tell you, there is,
00:39:40.440 you could tell me to remember all the five freedoms
00:39:44.680 in the first amendment.
00:39:46.220 I wouldn't have done it as a kid.
00:39:48.160 I couldn't.
00:39:49.320 I would have done it, taken the test,
00:39:51.360 and then forgotten about it.
00:39:52.480 But a song will put that in your kids' heads forever.
00:39:55.480 Put it in your head.
00:39:56.280 I can tell you that you listen to this song
00:39:59.360 over and over again,
00:40:00.060 and there's 10 of them that are coming this summer.
00:40:02.120 The first one comes out tomorrow, 5 in the 1st, and it'll teach your kids the responsibilities and the rights in each of the amendments in a really fun and original way.
00:40:14.300 Then also the lesson plan.
00:40:16.000 So you can just sit and you're free driving in the car or whatever.
00:40:18.200 It's just built for you to have conversations with your kids about each amendment.
00:40:24.900 There is also new commercial-free episodes of the American Story.
00:40:30.500 Which episodes are those?
00:40:32.120 Are those 15 to 20?
00:40:34.480 11 through 15.
00:40:35.860 Yeah, Torch Insiders get 11 through 15 starting tomorrow.
00:40:39.620 Okay.
00:40:40.020 It's really, really good.
00:40:42.140 Really good.
00:40:42.780 You're going to like it.
00:40:43.460 Plus this week, the first two chapters of the new dynamic audio version of the book that I put out a couple of years ago in the summer for families called Chasing Embers.
00:40:54.680 It is a fiction book, dystopian fiction, about a country where it has been lost to crazy people, and they've destroyed history.
00:41:06.820 And so there's a group of people that are out, and they're trying to keep history alive just by telling the stories to each other.
00:41:14.140 And it is such a great adventure book.
00:41:16.980 It's a dystopian, futuristic kind of sci-fi thing that I think you'll really, really like.
00:41:22.440 If you didn't read it when it came out, you can read it now, or you can just listen to it.
00:41:25.840 First couple of chapters come out this week.
00:41:27.600 The book is released on audio, I think, next week or the week after.
00:41:31.100 But you'll get the first three, the epilogue and the first two chapters for free if you are a Torch subscriber.
00:41:37.700 And also coming, at the end of the month, a brand new deep dive on the real reason we have immigration.
00:41:47.660 Huh, I wonder what that could be.
00:41:50.040 And we look at the history of immigration and why we have it, why we should maybe, oh, I don't know, stop it right now and fix this so we can get back to the real reason that we have immigration.
00:42:04.700 What is the history and the truth?
00:42:06.420 All of that is happening just this month only on Torch.
00:42:11.220 So you can get all of that stuff.
00:42:13.220 This is the first time that I can say with any real weight, this is what I built the Torch for.
00:42:21.640 The Torch is not just so you can get the show.
00:42:24.600 We have Blaze that, you know, Blaze can give you the show.
00:42:29.360 The Torch gives you understanding behind all the stuff in the show and a deeper dive in the breaks.
00:42:35.420 That's what Jason does.
00:42:36.720 He gives you deeper information in the breaks in case you want that and a behind-the-scenes access.
00:42:41.760 But then I built this for education. And so this is our first real foray into education for the history of the United States. And we are focusing on the Bill of Rights.
00:42:56.720 If you don't know what the Bill of Rights is, why it was created, what they say, those are the handcuffs on the government.
00:43:06.360 They're not handcuffs on you.
00:43:07.640 They're the handcuffs on the government.
00:43:09.020 These are the things the government cannot ever, ever do.
00:43:14.060 If you don't know those, you can't defend the country.
00:43:19.360 So we're starting at the very basics.
00:43:21.640 And hopefully sometime before the year is done or early next year, these will be made into videos, a little like Schoolhouse Rock, if you will.
00:43:34.760 So we ask that you would learn a lot, have some fun, enjoy the summer with your family while you're learning and enjoying the summer of 250.
00:43:46.240 But also support us on our mission of saving the republic through education.
00:43:51.640 You can help us just by joining right now at glennbeck.com slash torch.

00:47:29.220 so last hour i said it was friday it was wishful thinking i think uh it's monday sorry uh sorry
00:47:36.640 to bum you out but it is monday there's a lot going on um i spoke to the president last night
00:47:41.960 After his appearance on Meet the Press, and I want to talk to you about that and also something that we spoke about briefly as well.
00:47:53.480 He's a remarkable man.
00:47:55.380 But anyway, I'll give you that coming up in just a little while.
00:47:58.760 He left the Meet the Press interview.
00:48:01.180 And let me give you a little bit, just a clip of this.
00:48:04.140 Listen.
00:48:04.600 Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking one?
00:48:11.040 local officials acknowledge they are slow they're urging no they're crooked they're urging the votes
00:48:15.840 to be counted quickly that's how they vote in california just like you're crooked your press
00:48:19.580 is crooked and meet the press is crooked to be fair i'm not crooked but really well you play
00:48:24.200 right into their hands let's continue you're either crooked or you're stupid you play right
00:48:28.580 into their hands with this you know that these elections are rigged your network knows that
00:48:35.800 there, Rick. You know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press. You know why
00:48:43.620 I got that? Because you have no credibility. You've never presented evidence that it was
00:48:47.880 rigged. Let's keep talking about that. I want to talk about Todd. You have more evidence.
00:48:52.180 Okay, stop. He goes on and then he just gets up and walks out as he should have. But she said,
00:48:59.540 there's no evidence. There's no evidence. There's no evidence. Okay. Let me talk to Bill
00:49:04.460 Now, he is the first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California.
00:49:11.160 Wow, there are several election fraud investigations going on in California.
00:49:18.600 What did they have that would warrant a federal investigation?
00:49:22.660 We'll ask the man who actually knows, not a member of the press, in 60 seconds.
00:49:28.000 First, let me tell you about American Giant.
00:49:29.480 Father's Day is once again right around the corner.
00:49:32.140 Once upon a time, you know, we made almost all of the clothing that Americans wore right here in the United States.
00:49:37.720 And those were good times in the days when American exceptionalism in industry was the envy of the whole world.
00:49:44.300 Unfortunately, those days are gone.
00:49:46.260 They've been gone for a while now.
00:49:48.280 But while most of our clothing is manufactured overseas, in fact, almost all of it, it shows in the general lack of quality.
00:49:55.840 But there are companies out there, and one of them that makes clothing, American Giant, are working hard every day to change that.
00:50:02.680 We desperately need now more than ever to bring back the independent spirit of American manufacturing.
00:50:08.380 And America Giant is doing their part.
00:50:10.800 Cotton, grown, milled, and cut and sewed here 100% in America.
00:50:16.900 And with that comes American quality.
00:50:19.200 Buy cheaper, you'll get cheaper quality.
00:50:21.200 Made by workers overseas who aren't paid a living wage.
00:50:23.620 or you can buy the quality that your dad will love.
00:50:26.140 It will last for generations.

00:50:40.420 Bill, welcome to the program.
00:50:41.820 How are you, sir?
00:50:43.500 I'm doing well, Glenn.
00:50:44.640 How are you?
00:50:46.340 I'm good.
00:50:47.000 I am so glad you're out in California still.
00:50:48.900 I know you're probably not, but I'm glad you are.
00:50:50.800 Um, tell me what is, uh, uh, tell, tell me what credible allegations exist that, uh, warrant a
00:51:01.640 federal, a formal federal investigation. All right. Well, let's, you know, a couple,
00:51:07.340 couple things to keep in mind. I am prohibited from discussing ongoing investigations, but we
00:51:11.640 can talk about what is in the public domain and what we're doing in general. Number one,
00:51:16.720 There is election fraud is not a theory. It is a real thing. Election fraud happens every year.
00:51:23.200 There are people charged and convicted of it every year. Just last month, we charged and
00:51:29.100 obtained a guilty plea from a woman named Brenda Brown, who was captured on a James O'Keefe
00:51:36.100 undercover video paying homeless people to register to vote at her address. That is a
00:51:43.800 violation of federal law. You cannot pay someone to register to vote and you cannot place false
00:51:48.400 information on a voter registration form. And so we, um, charged her and she's agreed to plead
00:51:56.080 guilty. So that's just one little tidbit of the types of things that we're looking into. We do
00:52:04.040 have multiple ongoing investigations in similar vein, uh, regarding election fraud. Now what,
00:52:11.500 what the media always wants to jump to is, well, that's an isolated incident and you have no
00:52:17.300 evidence that it's widespread. And, you know, this is something I've been battling since I was
00:52:21.880 in the legislature. I go, you have no idea how spread it is because you've never looked
00:52:26.020 and you have no desire to look and you don't care about preventing fraud. Let's just break
00:52:32.140 down the system in California and then we'll talk about the challenges we have and what we're going
00:52:36.220 to do about it. California is a fraudster's paradise. Make no mistake about that. Whether
00:52:40.940 it's hospice fraud, health care fraud, or election fraud.
00:52:44.080 The legislature, who should have an obligation to protect the citizens of this state and
00:52:51.020 this nation in their pocketbook, does the opposite.
00:52:54.220 They go out of their way to make it as easy as possible for people to commit fraud.
00:52:58.520 And how do they do that?
00:52:59.840 This has been going on for decades.
00:53:01.780 They have basically taken away and reduced all the fraud prevention measures that you
00:53:08.420 would want.
00:53:08.900 in other states are legal in california um starting with you got to start from the beginning
00:53:16.400 registering to vote almost anybody can register to vote in the state of california you don't have
00:53:21.900 to have a social security number and you don't need a driver's license number you can go on the
00:53:25.860 website right now and there is a box for each of those fields that says i don't have one and you
00:53:31.580 just check those boxes and they will register you to vote now california says well you will have to
00:53:37.720 show an ID the first time you vote, go look at the post I put up yesterday that links to the
00:53:42.920 Secretary of State's website for the state of California that tells you what they consider
00:53:47.380 acceptable forms of ID to register to vote, including a gym membership, a prescription label,
00:53:55.460 your employer ID card, and my favorite, a health insurance card, which California gives out health
00:54:01.080 insurance to illegal aliens so start there about how anyone can basically register to vote in the
00:54:09.300 state of california then california has done universal vote by mail which means if you're
00:54:14.640 on the voter rolls you're going to get a ballot mailed to you whether you want it or not
00:54:18.800 and um no questions asked so they put millions of ballots out into the mail into the ether
00:54:25.720 The voter rolls are dirty. They have not verified that there's only eligible U.S. citizens on the voter rolls, and we know they also don't clean the voter rolls. So dead people, people who've moved, convicted felons, are also receiving ballots because they're just not good at cleaning the voter rolls.
00:54:45.080 So put all that together, and then we have no voter ID when you vote, and you have legalized
00:54:52.580 ballot harvesting, which is probably where a lot of this shenanigans is happening is at that point,
00:54:58.840 the ballot harvesting. It used to be against the law to handle anybody's ballot other than your
00:55:04.360 own or your immediate family member. That changed in 2018 in California. Anybody can handle anybody's
00:55:10.180 ballots. There's no chain of custody. There's no requirements of who can handle it. There's no
00:55:16.420 paper trail of who touched the ballot and turned it in. And so these harvesters are out in the
00:55:22.660 world for a month, collecting ballots from God knows who and God knows who circumstances,
00:55:29.720 who knows what the conversations are at the door, who knows if the voters actually filling the
00:55:35.760 ballot out, nobody knows. And then they dump all these ballots in the mail. And let me tell you,
00:55:41.820 these are professionals, Glenn. These are organized union groups. They've been doing
00:55:45.960 this for decades illegally, and now they're doing it legally because they've gotten the legislature
00:55:50.340 to legalize their activities. That makes people's jobs like mine incredibly difficult.
00:55:58.040 When we charge someone with fraud, we have to have evidence. And California has removed the
00:56:03.820 paper trail. They've removed the chain of custody. They've removed any meaningful way for us to
00:56:09.540 basically have a forensic audit of where a ballot came from. So we're doing the work. We're doing
00:56:15.860 the best we can in the circumstances. I expect people will be charged, but we need a wide scale
00:56:23.020 audit of the California voter rule, which is what Harmeet and I have been trying to do for the last
00:56:28.540 year. We have sued the state of California to comply with HAVA, which is a federal statute
00:56:34.100 which says only eligible U.S. citizens should be on the voter rolls. Unfortunately, Congress did
00:56:40.360 not put a lot of teeth into that statute, so I don't have any criminal penalties assigned with
00:56:45.840 it. All we have are civil, and so we are suing the state of California. We are in the Ninth Circuit
00:56:50.980 Court of Appeals now. California has resisted and stonewalled. They refused to comply with the
00:56:57.080 attorney general's request to hand over their voter rolls to confirm that they're in compliance
00:57:01.840 with federal law. So you got to put all that together. And that's what we're dealing with
00:57:05.140 here in California. Why won't they show you the voter rolls? Why won't they just open them up?
00:57:10.780 They claim that it, well, we, you want the real reason or the stated reason, uh, stated and then
00:57:16.920 the real, yeah, the stated reason is they say that it, that it would violate California's privacy
00:57:23.160 laws to hand over personal identifying information of voters to the federal government. Mind you,
00:57:28.760 we issue most of that personal identifying information, such as a social security number.
00:57:33.180 So they're hiding behind state privacy laws, which don't apply to the federal government
00:57:38.820 in this context. It's preempted by a federal statute here. So that's the stated reasons,
00:57:44.280 and they have found lower level judges to side with them. And that's the reason they said they're
00:57:48.480 not handing it over because they're concerned about the privacy interests of the voters being
00:57:53.660 uh that information being handed over to the federal government um that's their stated reason
00:57:58.380 why because they don't want anyone to look under the the tent there they don't want anyone to see
00:58:05.020 how dirty their voter rolls are they're filthy dirty voter rolls they have no desire to clean
00:58:11.640 them up because the system, the people in power probably benefit from occasional fraud that
00:58:19.140 occurs in there. That's the only rational explanation I could give you is that they
00:58:24.500 don't want to. They don't want to clean up the fraud. They want to keep the system the way it is.
00:58:29.500 So are we seeing, I don't know what I can ask you. I know I can't ask you. Are you seeing anything
00:58:35.580 that could change the outcome of the vote in large enough numbers?
00:58:42.620 Are you seeing anything like that?
00:58:45.440 We're looking.
00:58:47.280 We have set up a tip line.
00:58:50.400 I've set up a dedicated email.
00:58:53.180 It is caelectionfraudtips at usdoj.gov.
00:59:00.220 We are looking for any sort of wide scale conspiracy, if you will.
00:59:07.220 Right now, I would say our investigations lean more into individual actors.
00:59:12.780 So, you know, when you say tip the scales, you know, now I think in one of the local races here, I mean, you've got, you know, thousands of votes separating them.
00:59:24.040 So theoretically, I'd have to charge thousands of people to prove that it changed the outcome of the election unless we uncover some sort of wide scale fraud, which is incredibly difficult to do for the reasons I just went over.
00:59:37.300 But we are looking. We are looking. And so if there's anyone with inside information, that's the way federal cases are made. They're made with witnesses, insiders and evidence.
00:59:48.380 And that's the other thing, Glenn.
00:59:49.300 I know a lot of people see a lot of smoke, and I see it too, and there's a lot of theories and statistics.
00:59:56.080 At the end of the day, in order for me to do my job, which is bring a case to a grand jury in court,
01:00:02.920 I have to have evidence that I could prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
01:00:06.220 It's an extremely high burden and standard, and we don't do that unless we believe we have the evidence to back it up.
01:00:11.760 So those are the constraints I'm under. I personally cannot change the election system in California.
01:00:17.700 The voters have to do that. And I believe there's a ballot measure that would do just that in November.
01:00:23.340 But, you know, I can't get into the politics of things.
01:00:27.020 So yesterday, Welker from Meet the Press was with the president and she said there's just no evidence of any of this.
01:00:33.520 How would you respond to that?
01:00:37.060 Evidence of what? I mean, she doesn't even look.
01:00:39.060 There is, of course, evidence of fraud. Just do a Google search. Just do a Google search of election fraud charges California. You're going to see tons of cases of people who've been charged with committing fraud. What they always default to is, well, there's no evidence it's widespread. And that's a very interesting and clever statement because they've designed the system to not be able to detect the evidence through the system easily.
01:01:03.840 so they want you they want the burden on you to go out and prove every instance of a fraud and
01:01:10.620 even if you charge 100 people glenn they're going to say well that wouldn't have changed the outcome
01:01:14.340 of the election so instead of putting the burden on the system to reassure the people the citizens
01:01:20.120 of this country that only legal citizens are voting one person one vote is the law of the land
01:01:25.500 and put the burden on the system to assure us that there is integrity and we can believe in it
01:01:31.360 They flipped it. And now it's on us to prove every single allegation of fraud. And that's just not the way it should be. Our system should be protected from fraud and people have to have confidence. It doesn't matter who wins. I mean, I'm not concerned about the outcome of any election. I'm concerned about protecting citizens' rights to vote, however they want to cast that vote.
01:01:52.360 But we have a situation now where people don't even believe the system.
01:01:57.240 They don't believe this election system.
01:01:59.000 And so they're either not participating.
01:02:01.200 There's a lot of people who just don't participate anymore in California.
01:02:04.100 And that's bad because that's self-suppression.
01:02:07.380 And there's a lot of places where their participation could maybe change the outcome.
01:02:11.840 So you have people self-suppressing.
01:02:13.220 There are other people who just don't believe the results.
01:02:15.460 And they lack confidence in their system.
01:02:17.260 I don't think our republic can survive if the public doesn't have confidence in the outcome of the election.
01:02:23.300 That's going to be a recipe for disaster.
01:02:25.720 Yeah, the whole system is built on trust, and that's why, whether there's widespread fraud or not, that's why all of this stuff has to be opened up.
01:02:33.000 You said you expect people to be charged.
01:02:36.080 Can you say with what, and you feel confident enough you have enough evidence?
01:02:41.180 i i will just say it will be election fraud charges in the in the next i hate to put
01:02:49.320 timelines on things but one or two months i believe we need we need the uh some of these
01:02:54.020 results to be certified so we can uh you know prove some of the allegations but we will be
01:02:59.340 charging some people i can't get in too much and and mostly glenn i mean it's not just doj rules
01:03:04.380 but we also want to protect innocent people if we get something wrong we don't want someone to be
01:03:09.480 tainted with this with the stain of an investigation until we're able to prove that in court so i can't
01:03:16.500 get into too much but just know that this at this point right now we're wide open for investigations
01:03:21.940 if anyone knows anything direct and then please direct evidence i know people have theories and
01:03:27.000 they have ideas and what we need right now are witnesses if you've witnessed anything if someone
01:03:34.320 voted in your name and you found out someone voted for you we want to know about that
01:03:39.140 if you saw someone collecting ballots in a suspicious way or doing something odd with
01:03:45.300 ballots, we want to know about that. Those are the kind of things we need direct evidence of
01:03:49.700 right now so we can launch into deeper investigations. Bill, thank you very much.
01:03:55.300 Thanks for all the work you do in California. I really appreciate it. First Assistant U.S.
01:03:58.440 Attorney for the Central District of California. God bless. All right. Let me tell you about our
01:04:02.800 sponsor this half hour. It's Rapid Radios. You almost certainly have a short list of things
01:04:07.940 that you own or you know that you you hope you really never really need but you have a fire
01:04:13.200 extinguisher spare tire first aid kit you know i don't get up in the morning like i can't wait to
01:04:19.380 use my fire extinguisher but you know when the moment comes i'm glad that it's there that's how
01:04:23.840 i think about rapid radios actually i'm actually kind of i am excited to use the rapid radios
01:04:28.840 because it means we're out doing something traveling with the family we're out on the
01:04:32.360 ranch working uh if you are somebody who's running a large crew rapid radios are really great
01:04:37.820 but when you need to coordinate people either just you know across a work site or across the
01:04:43.200 country that's where rapid radios really shine they arrive ready out ready to use right out of
01:04:47.820 the box no complicated setup no programming no technical degree required you just turn them on
01:04:52.060 you start talking once you have them you start finding more and more uses for them than you ever
01:04:56.520 expected the fire extinguisher stays in the walls spare tire stays in the trunk but rapid radios
01:05:01.200 have a funny way of becoming something you reach for more and more often at least much more often
01:05:05.780 than you thought you would rapid radios rapid radios.com they ship fast from their headquarters
01:05:10.180 in michigan so go to rapid radios.com it's rapid radios communication redefined 10 seconds station
01:05:18.440 so you know last hour we or last last week we talked about several politicians
01:05:35.980 um platner is one of them uh that you can't believe is being elected there is the other guy
01:05:42.660 who is in, what is it, the 11th district in New Jersey
01:05:48.760 that is an Islamist
01:05:52.180 and a guy who appears to be connected to terror in the past
01:05:56.160 and either Al-Qaeda or ISIS.
01:05:59.220 I think it was Al-Qaeda.
01:06:01.420 And then, Ricky, do we have that audio I sent you
01:06:03.900 of this guy who's running for office in Texas?
01:06:06.660 and this guy's just emblematic of of the kind of people that we see more and more of today listen
01:06:15.040 to this believe a guy who hates american veterans who gave him the freedom to say what you're saying
01:06:21.100 no vet has been any sacrifice i want to make that clear i do not support the u.s military
01:06:28.040 no i do not support the united states i look down on both entities i want to make that clear
01:06:32.400 How do you feel about veterans?
01:06:34.260 I don't support veterans.
01:06:35.740 What?
01:06:36.820 The only vets I support are the ones that take care of cats.
01:06:42.100 Okay.
01:06:43.180 So this guy's running for office in Texas.
01:06:45.960 He's not going to win.
01:06:47.400 He's not going to win.
01:06:48.540 He's run before.
01:06:49.620 He's a crazy man, et cetera, et cetera.
01:06:51.780 But you know what?
01:06:52.340 That's the way it used to be.
01:06:54.340 Oh, he's a crazy guy.
01:06:55.260 He runs all the time, and nobody's paying attention to him,
01:06:57.200 and he's not going to win.
01:06:57.840 But now you hear people say crazy things like that, and they end up getting on the ballot and winning, or at least coming close if they don't win.
01:07:09.700 I mean, we have some people that are running right now that are crazy, crazy.
01:07:16.080 Plattner is one of them.
01:07:17.400 The guy is crazy, dangerous, a Nazi, abusive, allegedly.
01:07:24.780 I mean, it just doesn't stop with this guy.
01:07:30.060 And somebody said last week when we were talking about the Islamist that is running for New Jersey,
01:07:37.120 somebody said, we got to, you got to find a way to stop him.
01:07:40.640 We can't have this.
01:07:41.560 And I got several calls on that.
01:07:43.720 That's actually not a good idea.
01:07:47.400 And I want to tell you why.
01:07:49.040 And I want to show you what you can do.
01:07:51.440 But it's not this.
01:07:53.640 It's not what you're thinking it is.
01:07:55.740 And we'll talk about that coming up next.
01:07:58.400 Stand by.
01:07:59.540 Oh, and meet the press and the president's appearance on that also coming up.
01:08:04.360 Oh, my wife found two abandoned dogs, and now we've got two dogs.
01:08:09.620 Please help me.
01:08:10.420 Please help me.
01:08:12.380 Let me tell you about pre-born.
01:08:13.960 The unplanned pregnancy conversation usually focuses a mom,
01:08:19.180 but there's somebody else who often needs support and encouragement,
01:08:21.900 and that is the father, the dad.
01:08:24.500 A lot of young men find themselves in these situations
01:08:26.400 feeling scared and confused and overwhelmed
01:08:28.820 just as much as the moms do.
01:08:31.100 And they're wondering, how are we going to provide?
01:08:33.460 Am I ready to be a dad?
01:08:35.120 Sometimes the difference between a decision for life
01:08:37.520 and a decision of abortion
01:08:38.780 comes down to whether that father chooses to step up
01:08:41.580 and say, hey, we can do this.
01:08:42.680 We can do it together.
01:08:44.000 Enter pre-born.
01:08:45.040 Yes, they provide free ultrasounds
01:08:46.600 to expectant mothers.
01:08:48.200 And yes, the ultrasounds make all the difference
01:08:50.620 in the world.
01:08:51.040 When a mom sees her baby, she's far more likely to choose life.
01:08:54.120 But pre-born also understands that strong families are built when fathers are engaged and informed and encouraged to embrace that role.
01:09:02.280 Today, help another father experience the same amount of hope.
01:09:05.980 You can save a family.

01:09:51.040 i got a phone call from the president last night at about uh 12 30 and uh he's like glenn i'm
01:10:04.040 gonna talk and so we had a chat and um in it i brought something up that mike lee had brought
01:10:09.280 up earlier in the day to me about this new christian designation uh in the pentagon and it
01:10:14.980 really bothered me and i laid my case out to the president uh briefly um and i get a mary's on
01:10:22.720 he's on the phone with me at 12 30 i get a i get a phone call at 5 30 this morning i fixed that
01:10:28.940 that's ridiculous uh and i think you're actually going to agree whether you agree with you know
01:10:33.900 reason why i brought it up or not i think you'll agree with what the president just did
01:10:38.180 just heard from pete hegseth on what the pentagon is going to do and um it's the right thing it's
01:10:43.860 right thing. So justice has been done. And I think everyone, hopefully, if you are a constitutionalist,
01:10:50.420 you will agree with it. And that's what I want to talk to you about. We have to find our principles
01:10:56.400 here on the constitution, not how we feel, but how the constitution works. Let me tell you about
01:11:02.580 a guy named Lucius. Lucius was a Roman. He was a citizen of the Republic in the year 82 before
01:11:08.860 Christ. And one morning he walks into the forum and he finds a list nailed up in the public square.
01:11:15.400 Names, hundreds of them. The dictator, Sulla, had just come back to Rome and he had decided that the
01:11:22.040 way to save the Republic from its own enemies was to name them because the enemies were within.
01:11:27.760 Are you beginning to see why I'm bringing this up? Because right now we think our enemies are
01:11:32.160 within and they are. Our most dangerous enemies are the enemies within. And some of them are
01:11:37.620 running for office and it's crazy anyway he said these people are disloyal and so he's putting
01:11:43.240 names on the list and once your name was on that list you were no longer protected by roman law
01:11:47.720 your property could be taken your life could be taken uh and the man who killed you got paid for
01:11:54.280 it okay they called it prescription sulla told himself and rome that he was doing it to save
01:12:02.320 the Republic, to purge the men who wanted to tear it down. And the terrible thing is, is that
01:12:09.160 a lot of those people really did want to tear it down. The fear wasn't imaginary at all,
01:12:15.260 but the list didn't save the Republic. The list actually was the death nail of the Republic.
01:12:22.900 Once Rome accepted that the cure for disloyalty was a list of names with the law switched off,
01:12:30.560 the only question left was who holds the pen and that is the case i want to make on several things
01:12:39.100 today who hold because the pen always changes hands always he did this 50 years later the
01:12:46.020 republic was gone rome had an emperor now we are seeing the same thing in this country that we're
01:12:52.460 seeing things i've never seen before you know there are people in this that are in this country
01:12:57.200 some of them born here some of them newly sworn in who do not want to reform america they want an
01:13:03.840 end to america and they will tell you so themselves they're not interested in changing
01:13:09.160 a policy on this or that they don't like the entire system that the founders built they want
01:13:14.800 the system gone they look at the constitutional protections that shield you and me and they see
01:13:22.700 those as protections, you know, those protections as an enemy, and they've got to go. They want
01:13:29.100 office not to serve the republic or save it, but to turn the machinery of the republic against
01:13:35.360 itself. This is real, and I am sick of the gaslighting of the American people by the press
01:13:43.260 and the politicians and the parties. This is new and dangerous and has never happened in my lifetime
01:13:49.100 like this before the greatest danger is always from within at least in america
01:13:56.560 the right question is what do we do about these people who are using freedom to destroy freedom
01:14:03.740 and making a list or saying these people can't serve they can't do this again it seems like the
01:14:10.260 right thing and the rational thing and the thing i really want to do to save the republic
01:14:16.440 The left is saying it, however, about MAGA.
01:14:20.820 We're saying it about violent, seditious protesters or Marxist, Islamist politicians.
01:14:27.980 And we feel like that's the right thing to do.
01:14:31.900 But what feels right isn't always right.
01:14:36.240 You will understand once I give you a little bit of, we've been here before, kind of history.
01:14:42.760 The answer is a trap.
01:14:45.500 And the trap is the whole game.
01:14:48.620 The men who wrote our Constitution had exactly the same fear.
01:14:53.740 Not similar, the same fear.
01:14:57.100 It was 1798.
01:14:58.780 The United States was a baby.
01:15:00.080 It was 10 years old.
01:15:01.060 And there was a real credible worry that revolutionary France had agents inside America
01:15:07.520 that immigrants were coming in and carrying foreign loyalties
01:15:12.300 and subversion was coming through the door dressed up as a citizen.
01:15:16.840 I mean, it's exactly the same.
01:15:19.300 So the very same generation, the same people that wrote the Bill of Rights
01:15:25.420 passed what's called the Alien and Sedition Acts.
01:15:28.580 It is a horror show.
01:15:30.520 It gave the president power to deport foreigners that he deemed dangerous.
01:15:35.820 They made it a crime to publish false or scandalous criticism of the government.
01:15:41.060 Think of that.
01:15:42.300 And it nearly destroyed them.
01:15:44.940 It was tried again under Woodrow Wilson.
01:15:47.440 Damn near destroyed us then as well.
01:15:49.240 And we're flirting with it now, honestly, on both sides of the aisle for a third time.
01:15:58.140 It split the founding generation right down the middle, which I think, good, wow, we just found another way to divide ourselves.
01:16:05.340 Jeez, isn't that great?
01:16:06.180 But the moment you make disloyal opinion a crime, the man in power gets to define disloyalty, and he defines it as the opposition to him, and it never stays with the original target.
01:16:22.960 It always grows and spread.
01:16:25.060 This is what Jefferson, I mean, Franklin meant, I give you a republic if you can keep it.
01:16:29.980 This is the stuff that destroys republics.
01:16:33.180 um under wilson they threw newspaper editors in jail the whole thing collapsed under its own
01:16:39.420 own uh shame and the history of the alien and sedition acts you know uh not good not good and
01:16:47.440 it is it's exactly the same thing as sulla the founders learned the lesson in real time the hard
01:16:55.320 way and they wrote it into the bones of the country. And then just a few short years later,
01:17:03.700 the same people decided they were going to kind of try to weaken that because now they were the
01:17:10.100 ones in total power. The only reason we didn't go the way of Rome is because what our founders did
01:17:16.520 when they drew up our laws and our principles, they made treason the narrowest crime in the
01:17:21.880 constitution. You have to have two witnesses to the same overt act because they knew treason
01:17:27.640 charges were how tyrants silenced rivals because they were the rivals. They were the ones being
01:17:36.020 silenced by the king. They wrote a first amendment that protects the speech that you hate because
01:17:42.220 they knew the speech you love never needed protecting. They just forgot because they were
01:17:48.320 in power, and they thought it would be okay. Wilson and the progressives did the same thing
01:17:51.820 in the early 1900s, and we're forgetting it today. The government must never be the final
01:17:58.740 arbiter of speech, nor can opinions or thought ever be a crime, ever. They built a system
01:18:08.540 where the only test for high office is age, citizenship, and the vote of the people. No
01:18:14.700 loyalty board, no belief screen, no list. We don't want one of those. And they didn't do it because
01:18:23.060 they were naive about enemies. They did it because they were the enemies of the state. They were the
01:18:27.740 subversives. They were the radicals. They were the men the crown called a traitor. They knew exactly
01:18:33.660 how easy it is to call your political opponent an enemy of the state. So they took that weapon,
01:18:39.700 they buried it on purpose where no future faction could ever dig it up and point it at the other
01:18:47.980 half of the country and here's the thing that is most important for you to hear they did that
01:18:54.980 because they knew the list always comes back around the power to disqualify a man from office
01:19:01.600 because of what he believes is not the power that stays in friendly hands you build that machine
01:19:08.460 today to keep out the man you fear, and you've built it for the man who fears you. You built it
01:19:18.020 for a bureaucrat that thinks a Christian that reads the founding documents in church is a
01:19:23.840 Christian nationalist threat. You built it for the next administration's enemies list with your
01:19:29.220 pastor's name on it. And the same is true for the left. If you wish to drop a list, purge or
01:19:35.140 re-educate some, as Democrats are discussing today, the power will be turned around and used
01:19:41.000 on you. It always happens that way. The proscription doesn't care who nailed it up.
01:19:48.080 It only cares who holds the pen. So we have a real issue with this. So what do we do?
01:19:56.300 Well, first, never become Sulla, to defeat Sulla. The day we screen Americans for their thoughts
01:20:03.160 before they can serve is the day the Republic dies by suicide.
01:20:06.600 And I'm borrowing that phrase because Abraham Lincoln said that in 1838,
01:20:12.220 long before he was anything, okay?
01:20:15.240 He warned his neighbors, no foreign army could ever conquer the country.
01:20:19.140 He said, and I'm quoting, if destruction ever come, it be our lot.
01:20:25.280 We ourselves will be its author and its finisher.
01:20:29.580 We don't fall by invasion.
01:20:31.880 the west will die by its own hand by abandoning the things that made it the west so are we
01:20:40.140 defenseless no we don't just hand the country over who smile at us and convince us to vote
01:20:48.960 for them and then burn the thing down no this is harder than a list it starts with the oath
01:20:56.700 When you become a citizen of the United States, you raise your right hand to swear to support and defend the laws and the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
01:21:08.380 You renounce every prior allegiance.
01:21:12.780 Now, how to punish a man for breaking that oath in his heart?
01:21:16.780 Can't.
01:21:18.280 But a nation is allowed to mean its oath.
01:21:21.220 We are allowed to treat it as a sacred thing instead of just paperwork.
01:21:26.700 We are allowed to ask out loud, anyone seeking power, you swore this oath.
01:21:31.880 What does it mean to you?
01:21:33.600 You don't seem to be honoring that oath at all.
01:21:38.520 And we're allowed to enforce the laws that already exist for those who cross the line from belief into action,
01:21:45.860 who don't just say ugly things but conspire fund things like terror or incite violence.
01:21:52.260 That line is very, very bright, and we should patrol it without apology.
01:21:56.700 But the real defense, the real defense, and you're not going to like this answer, but it's true, and you know it, you know what it is.
01:22:04.060 What's the real answer?
01:22:07.020 It's you.
01:22:09.000 An informed citizen.
01:22:12.920 That is the only filter that doesn't rot.
01:22:15.720 the reason the enemies of the republic want office is they are counting on people just like you
01:22:24.000 that don't know their ass from their elbow about the constitution about the bill of rights about
01:22:29.760 our country about how our government works who are just they only are just going oh i like him
01:22:35.280 he seems nice people who never read any of the documents they couldn't tell you what the first
01:22:42.480 Amendment is. They couldn't tell you the Federalist
01:22:44.600 Papers. They don't even know what it is.
01:22:46.920 The antidote to a man
01:22:48.380 who wants to tear down the Constitution
01:22:50.500 is not a law that
01:22:52.540 hides him from view. It's
01:22:54.360 sunlight and a citizenry
01:22:56.600 that recognizes the threat
01:22:58.620 on site and beats
01:23:00.560 him at the ballot box
01:23:02.240 in broad daylight.
01:23:04.420 We will never fix this
01:23:06.420 country unless we fix ourselves.
01:23:08.400 It's why the gatekeepers
01:23:09.760 who are supposed to inform you
01:23:12.220 and instead look away are not a side issue.
01:23:15.540 A free press that won't shine the light
01:23:17.500 is just a darker room for that guy to work in.
01:23:22.900 So here is the whole West in one sentence.
01:23:26.280 This is it.
01:23:28.300 We are not held together by blood or soil or a bloodline.
01:23:33.880 We are held together by an idea
01:23:36.660 that any human being on earth can swear to and mean.
01:23:42.800 That's our fragility.
01:23:44.880 That's why this is so delicate.
01:23:48.340 A nation of ideas can be argued out of itself in a single generation,
01:23:52.480 and we're doing it.
01:23:53.240 You're watching it happen in real time.
01:23:55.940 But that is also our strength.
01:23:59.480 The thing no empire of blood has ever been able to match
01:24:03.400 because the immigrant who sheds his old loyalties
01:24:06.980 and grafts himself onto Washington and Lincoln and Jefferson
01:24:10.700 becomes more American than the native-born man
01:24:14.200 who sleeps through the entire inheritance.
01:24:16.920 We defend this country by being worthy of it,
01:24:20.160 by knowing it, not out-sulla the sullas.
01:24:25.120 We don't nail up the list.
01:24:26.920 We do the harder, older, braver thing.
01:24:29.360 We win the argument.
01:24:30.940 We keep the oath.
01:24:32.900 We hand the flame forward, still burning,
01:24:35.640 to people who know what it costs.
01:24:41.440 That's our assignment.
01:24:43.440 That has always been the assignment.
01:24:48.100 We've just never done our homework.
01:24:50.580 It's time to.
01:24:52.580 And it's not that hard.
01:24:54.660 People spend thousands of dollars on things that they only occasionally use.
01:24:59.260 A mattress.
01:25:01.080 We just think, yeah, I just get a bed for the bedroom and forget about it.
01:25:04.500 I mean, you're spending a third of your life on that thing.
01:25:06.680 And if you're waking up stiff and sore and exhausted, feeling like it never really, you know, helped you rest, your body might be trying to tell you something.
01:25:14.680 Try something different.
01:25:16.160 One of the things I like about GhostBed, they don't just build mattresses that look nice in a commercial.
01:25:21.160 They build what they called engineered sleep systems.
01:25:24.840 The whole point is recovery, comfort, support, actually helping your body rest the way it's supposed to.
01:25:30.460 And you notice it.
01:25:31.800 Maybe it's less tossing and turning.

01:25:55.740 All right, let me tell you about American financing.
01:25:57.620 Sometimes the number that matters most is the interest rate that you're paying on your debt because not all debt costs the same.
01:26:04.860 Mortgage at a good rate is one thing.
01:26:06.860 Credit card charging you 20%, 30% is something entirely different.
01:26:11.320 No matter how hard you work, a lot of your money is going somewhere other than your future.
01:26:15.340 And that's why I'm really glad American Financing has created the Smart Equity Loan.
01:26:21.380 It's designed for people like you who have a home.
01:26:23.540 You built equity in your home.
01:26:24.720 You're still carrying high interest debt, but you've got a mortgage rate that you got years ago that's locked in.
01:26:31.020 And it is really good.
01:26:32.040 And you don't want to reset that thing.
01:26:34.680 We get it.
01:26:35.820 This allows you to access equity through a separate fixed-rate loan
01:26:40.240 so you can target the debt that is doing the most damage
01:26:43.020 without disturbing the mortgage that's really working in your favor.
01:26:47.220 No upfront fees to find out if you qualify.

01:30:52.300 oh my god i cannot take politics i can't take it i just can't take it anymore
01:31:00.880 Now apparently Donald Trump hates the Jews
01:31:04.300 And wants the Jews to die
01:31:06.340 I mean, it's a fun house
01:31:11.080 And it isn't any fun anymore
01:31:12.840 Plus, the crap that came out of Meet the Press
01:31:16.740 I mean, Christian Welker opens her mouth
01:31:19.480 And crap just spews out
01:31:21.580 I'm surprised he wasn't left
01:31:24.360 Looking like he came in wearing a brown suit
01:31:26.840 After sitting across from her
01:31:28.240 um listen i am gonna because of the crap that came out of her mouth uh i'm going to explain
01:31:34.560 exactly what happened exactly what happened with meet the press and some stuff you don't know that
01:31:40.400 happened behind the scenes we'll give you that here in just a second stand by first let me tell
01:31:45.100 you about real estate agents i trust.com you know who gets blamed for everything during a real estate
01:31:50.160 transaction well i'd say the realtor but i'm tempted to say the jews anyway uh the negotiations
01:31:57.500 fall apart. It's the realtor. They get credit for the good stuff, but mostly people notice
01:32:02.980 them when things go wrong. And that's how important the job is because a great real estate agent
01:32:07.100 isn't somebody who just opens up the doors and fills out the paperwork. They're the negotiator,
01:32:11.800 they're the problem solver, they're the project manager, sometimes even act as a bit of a
01:32:15.620 therapist and occasionally a hostage negotiator. Point is, they're incredibly important to the
01:32:21.020 process. And that's why we started realestateagentsitrust.com because I needed a great
01:32:27.140 real estate agent and didn't know how to find one. And I've had the privilege over the years
01:32:31.200 working with some of the best agents in the country professionally, not just as a client,
01:32:35.980 but professionally. And I learned a lot from them, knowing how to keep a deal moving forward
01:32:41.980 when everybody else is ready to throw in their hands, knowing the market, knowing how to use
01:32:46.580 advertising, knowing how to get the client that wants a house like yours already primed. So when
01:32:52.840 yours comes on the market, they're already there. Realestateagentsitrust.com. They'll show you how
01:32:58.260 to buy or sell a home even in a tough market. All you have to do is just get the best real estate
01:33:02.480 agent. I think we found them for you in your area. You can find them. It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:33:09.520 Realestateagentsitrust.com. Okay. So Christian Welker, I don't know if you saw this, play a
01:33:14.180 little clip of meet the press from yesterday play the short version please you think it's appropriate
01:33:19.380 that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking local officials
01:33:25.080 acknowledge they are slow they're urging no they're crooked they're urging the votes to be counted
01:33:29.600 quick that's how they vote in california just like you're crooked your press is crooked and
01:33:33.580 meet the press is crooked to be fair i'm not crooked but really well you play right into
01:33:37.980 their hands let's continue you're either crooked or you're stupid you play right into their hands
01:33:42.680 with this rap you know that these elections are rigged your network knows that they're rigged
01:33:49.780 you know that i won an election in a landslide and i got 94 bad press but mr positive you know
01:33:56.720 why i got that because you have no credibility but you've never presented evidence that it was
01:34:01.160 rigged let's keep talking about i want to talk about todd you have more evidence there's more
01:34:04.940 evidence than ever presented let's talk your elections in this country we're like a third
01:34:10.820 world country your elections are crooked and you're crooked and at least the press is crooked
01:34:15.960 and so is abc and cbs and cnn you're one-sided crooked networks all right let's call it quits
01:34:23.840 because i've had enough thank you darling have a good time mr president let's please i traveled
01:34:28.000 all the way to wisconsin i've sat in the rain with you i know i should have the rain with you
01:34:33.140 for an hour on and off in the rain and i've given you enough time you want to straighten out your
01:34:38.500 press because you know what a country can never be great travel with a dishonest we traveled all
01:34:44.080 the way to wisconsin this way all the way oh we went to space to get this interview do you know
01:34:50.860 how hard it is to get five minutes with the president for the love of pete oh man we traveled
01:34:57.580 all this way and you only gave us 45 minutes gee rain was hammering down on this roof so hard you
01:35:07.240 could barely hear any of the questions. They talked Iran, they talked the economy, then they
01:35:12.460 got to the elections. And every single time when they were talking about the proposed anti-weaponization
01:35:19.360 fund, when that came up, Trump was really clear. He's like, I'm for it. I think it's fair, but it's
01:35:24.440 up to Congress. I'm for it. I think it's fair, but it's up to Congress. Then she brings up the
01:35:29.800 January 6th cases. He didn't demand any blanket pardons. He was very, very clear. He called for
01:35:36.140 a panel to review them one by one case by case look at the facts that's not a bomb thrower that's
01:35:44.580 not somebody that wants to give money to anybody who's ever broke the law a lot like blm that's a
01:35:51.580 man asking for basic due process in real justice she would not even listen to him she didn't even
01:35:58.280 acknowledge that anything he was saying was it at least kind of reasonable it was just challenge
01:36:05.100 fact check challenge fact check challenge fact check especially pounding him uh on the elections
01:36:11.840 he had enough he unclipped his microphone called the crooked press walked out and even then he was
01:36:18.120 polite about it i mean holy cow it is it is it's absolutely crazy you know what bothers me this
01:36:28.780 isn't about trump i've just had enough with these holier-than-thou megalomaniacs who call themselves
01:36:34.880 journalists there is no honest curiosity left in them at all on any subject none none you can talk
01:36:43.020 to them about anything and they've already made up their mind they are just capturing the story
01:36:48.080 that confirms what they believe they're not there's no moment there where you you stop and go
01:36:54.080 well i don't know is he making sense here maybe he is there's no adjustment ever with these people
01:36:59.120 when donald trump won in 2016 that was the perfect moment for them to look in the mirror
01:37:04.660 and ask a hard question like,
01:37:06.720 why are we so out of touch with the American people?
01:37:09.680 They didn't.
01:37:11.160 They doubled down.
01:37:12.900 It just reinforced their tightly held belief
01:37:15.920 that the American people are just stupid.
01:37:19.020 And they, the enlightened press,
01:37:20.560 just know better than everybody else,
01:37:22.860 including half of the politicians in Washington.
01:37:25.620 If you agree with the press,
01:37:27.980 well, then you're smart.
01:37:29.080 If not, you should be destroyed.
01:37:32.360 I mean, look at what happened in that interview.
01:37:34.500 Trump brought up suicides of those who were persecuted.
01:37:38.500 Yeah, I said persecuted, not prosecuted.
01:37:40.680 Most of them were persecuted.
01:37:43.720 Like it was like 21 suicides.
01:37:46.580 No hesitation, no recognition, no human moment.
01:37:50.080 She just shot back.
01:37:51.180 Why did so many people plead guilty if they were all innocent?
01:37:55.060 Is this your first day on the job, you nincompoop?
01:38:00.500 Here's an idea.
01:38:01.500 let's think it through for two seconds let's see i'm a normal person who's never gotten in trouble
01:38:08.780 with the law before and now i'm facing an all-powerful federal government who wants to
01:38:15.560 step on my neck they took me out of my house in the middle of the night then they held me in
01:38:22.240 solitary confinement they wouldn't let me talk to a lawyer the process seems like the punishment
01:38:28.920 itself and then the judge seems to have already decided on collective guilt i don't know why
01:38:36.240 would you plead guilty when they when your lawyer comes to you and say they've got a they've got a
01:38:41.440 deal for you take two years and plead guilty or roll the dice and take 25 years to life
01:38:47.360 gee i don't know which one would i choose
01:38:51.740 let me ask you this Kristen have you ever talked to a lawyer have you talked to a lawyer about
01:39:02.100 any case what do they always say settle it settle it settle it it's not worth it just settle it
01:39:07.280 just settle it no but I'm not guilty of that settle it yeah but she said that I said this
01:39:13.420 I didn't say that settle it every single corporate lawyer will tell you and I know
01:39:19.220 you've been involved in those every single corporate lawyer will tell you just settle it
01:39:24.280 make it go away it's not worth it you think somebody that's getting 25 years to life and
01:39:31.620 they offer a two-year prison sentence you don't think the attorney is saying to them settle it
01:39:38.020 trust me i don't think with these people you're going to win but you don't think that through
01:39:44.940 because you're too busy chasing the next story
01:39:47.580 that fits your narrative.
01:39:49.460 The poor, downtrodden, illegal alien
01:39:51.640 that's been stabbing people on trains
01:39:53.640 because of his childhood.
01:39:55.400 Or that person that's been raping children
01:39:57.520 or Islamists running for office
01:39:59.680 or Nazis running for the Senate.
01:40:02.560 Anything, anything to avoid the real story
01:40:05.940 of government overreach and destroyed lives.
01:40:10.020 You back anybody.
01:40:14.940 you think you own the truth you don't you you can't handle the truth
01:40:21.400 if and if the press thinks that they believe something if if you tell them something else
01:40:29.940 it didn't happen that way it just didn't happen if they haven't heard about it it didn't happen
01:40:34.360 if it's not within their beliefs it's just wrong and they'll sit there demanding evidence on
01:40:40.640 elections while waving away the bloated voter rolls, the ballots arriving days late, the chain
01:40:46.200 of custody black holes, the absolute mess that we're watching unfold in California. And they'll
01:40:52.600 defend no voter ID all day long and tell us that that's Jim Crow, which is insulting to every black
01:41:02.200 person in America. And I think probably even a little insulting to Jim himself. And he's probably
01:41:08.940 on your side you lecture us about democracy you're just burning through the the fuel that
01:41:18.880 democracy actually needs and that's trust you've burned all that out
01:41:23.160 now let me just say this look what president trump did
01:41:27.700 he invited you you didn't call him for that interview he called you not fox not newsmax
01:41:35.960 not me nbc knowing how hostile you are tell me the other president does that he invites you
01:41:44.620 and then he sits for an hour in a thunderstorm in that barn rain pounding down but you
01:41:51.040 you can't seem to make that you you couldn't isolate those microphones you can't hear each
01:41:56.400 other so we can we wait a little while he waits an hour because you can't record in the rain
01:42:02.120 and then you start in on this hostile question
01:42:05.400 and when the badgering doesn't stop
01:42:08.180 he stands up and says
01:42:09.540 country can never be great with a dishonest press
01:42:12.660 I'm done here
01:42:13.480 and then he leaves no tantrum
01:42:15.280 polite even on the way out
01:42:17.840 and then what you don't know is on Saturday
01:42:21.120 he reached out to her and apologized
01:42:23.400 he said the rain and the delays
01:42:25.100 it just put me in a cranky mood
01:42:26.440 it's not your fault
01:42:27.460 and he agreed for a follow-up interview
01:42:30.900 did you know that why didn't she say that by the way president was testy we were having this
01:42:36.740 but he's agreed to come back for a follow-up and they call him thin-skinned dangerous unhinged
01:42:45.420 and yet he's the one who has the balls to keep walking or honestly i'm questioning it at some
01:42:51.640 point i mean you get what you i mean this is what you're walking into every time a network that's
01:42:59.520 treated him and millions of Americans who voted for him as an enemy for a decade at least.
01:43:06.340 When was the last time you saw an interview with him go the other way on any of those networks?
01:43:10.500 When did you see this?
01:43:11.560 When did you see Barack Obama or Joe Biden or any of them sit down with a conservative outlet for a full hour of tough questions?
01:43:21.680 I'm not guessing because I know the answer.
01:43:24.020 I've asked the White House for an interview, every single White House.
01:43:27.920 You know the only ones that say yes?
01:43:29.520 George W. Bush one time and Donald Trump.
01:43:34.600 And George W. Bush didn't like me.
01:43:36.500 He had no use for my opinions whatsoever.
01:43:39.500 Okay, that's not spin, that's fact.
01:43:42.440 You know, there was a time when meet the press
01:43:44.080 actually meant something.
01:43:45.660 Tim Russert, anybody remember him?
01:43:48.260 He was a man who wanted a fair fight,
01:43:50.060 tough on everybody.
01:43:51.180 You knew he was fair because you would hate him
01:43:53.760 with your guy and love him with their guy.
01:43:56.440 what she's doing now that's a performance that's a show that's a show and i face these people in
01:44:05.500 trump's position and they don't listen they preach they tell you like it is they're not asking
01:44:12.480 questions there's nothing that this man could do or say that would have given her pause to change
01:44:19.080 her mind change her perspective perhaps see how he arrived at conclusions honestly that were
01:44:25.780 different than hers. I went, okay, I never saw it that way, Mr. President. I got to tell you,
01:44:30.140 you deserve a press that chases truth instead of storyline, and you ain't getting it there.
01:44:36.060 One that can hear a reasonable answer that the journalist might disagree with on protecting
01:44:42.020 against weaponized government on a case-by-case basis for justice for January 6th, on cleaning
01:44:49.400 up our election so trust could be restored and actually admit, you know what, that is reasonable.
01:44:54.340 I don't necessarily agree with, but it is reasonable.
01:44:57.220 No, instead, you sell it as a meltdown.
01:44:59.660 It wasn't a meltdown.
01:45:00.880 It was a man who endured the literal reign and figurative storm until he was just finished being lectured, you know, by an institution that lost any credibility long ago.
01:45:11.800 I applaud him.
01:45:13.080 I applaud you for walking into the lion's den.
01:45:15.480 I wouldn't have done it.
01:45:16.820 But for still sitting down with people who despise him.
01:45:20.040 and yet he'll sit there politely and talk to them
01:45:23.740 for as long as he can handle it.
01:45:26.960 You know, the part that matters most is not loyalty.
01:45:29.500 It's the demand underneath it all.
01:45:31.500 Every institution with power over your life,
01:45:33.940 the press, the elections, the government,
01:45:36.580 it has to operate in the full light of day
01:45:39.320 where you can see it and judge it for yourself.
01:45:41.440 I'm not loyal to any of this stuff.
01:45:42.980 I want to see it in the full light of day.
01:45:46.800 If you're going to teach your kids how to find the truth,
01:45:49.040 that interview is not going to help you because she was not looking for the truth
01:45:55.880 she was looking to do a show
01:45:58.120 more in a minute let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour uh it is uh simply safe you know
01:46:06.900 it's almost easier to prevent a mess than it is to clean one up you know easier to put a lid on
01:46:11.680 the paint can than it is to scrape the paint off the garage floor not that i know that personally
01:46:17.160 Easier to put a coaster under your drink than to refinish the table.
01:46:21.700 Not that I know that one personally.
01:46:24.260 Anyway, it's easy to do the right thing the first time.
01:46:27.560 It's a lot easier to stop a burglary before it happens
01:46:30.560 than it is to deal with everything that comes after.
01:46:32.860 And that's why I like SimpliSafe.
01:46:34.860 They've taken home security beyond just sounding an alarm
01:46:38.180 after somebody's already on your property.
01:46:40.300 They have an active guard outdoor protection system,
01:46:43.120 and it can actually help you identify threats outside the home
01:46:48.360 before they ever reach your front door.
01:46:50.040 And when I say you identify them, you don't have to be a part of that.
01:46:53.640 If a trespasser has detected, live security agents can see what's happening.
01:46:58.200 They can speak directly through the system and intervene in real time.
01:47:02.120 That's the difference between cleaning up a mess
01:47:04.500 and stopping one from happening in the first place.
01:47:06.860 And right now you can get 50% off your new system by visiting simplisafe.com.
01:47:11.500 50% off, simplisafe.com slash Beck.

01:47:17.400 There is no safe like SimpliSafe.
01:47:19.940 10 seconds, station.
01:47:20.660 Glenn Beck is on.
01:47:33.020 Since the very beginning of our country,
01:47:35.620 liberty has always depended on ordinary people
01:47:38.680 that are willing to learn and preserve and to pass on what matters.
01:47:42.340 And we're hoping to help you do that this summer.
01:47:45.580 It's the summer of 250.
01:47:48.100 Beginning tomorrow, we are releasing 10 original songs
01:47:52.380 to teach the first 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights like never before.
01:47:56.400 They are great for adults.
01:47:57.720 I think you're going to love these songs.
01:47:59.280 You're going to listen to them over and over again.
01:48:01.160 And that's where the genius comes in because it's an earworm.
01:48:04.700 Can you play just a little bit of the first one that comes out tomorrow?
01:48:08.400 This is the First Amendment.
01:48:10.060 Freedom of religion.
01:48:11.600 I can't choose what I believe.
01:48:13.360 Freedom of a speech.
01:48:14.240 Say my first song is the name of the press.
01:48:16.940 I'll print the truth, let it flow.
01:48:18.880 To assemble.
01:48:19.900 Meet in peace, let them know.
01:48:21.540 Yeah, we begin to disagree.
01:48:24.420 Ask the government to change things not believe.
01:48:27.180 That's five in the first, five in the first one.
01:48:30.260 Five in the first, five in the first one.
01:48:34.620 Okay, so it's called Five in the First,
01:48:36.200 and it's teaching you the five amendments
01:48:37.900 in the First Amendment.
01:48:39.280 You get that plus 10 corresponding lesson plans
01:48:42.100 for families to study together.
01:48:43.720 All of this is part of your Torch membership.
01:48:46.140 You get new commercial-free episodes
01:48:47.880 of The American Story.
01:48:50.060 Episodes 11 through 15 are dropping tomorrow.
01:48:54.520 Sneak peek into the first two chapters
01:48:57.120 of the new dynamic audio version of Chasing Embers.
01:49:01.140 I was up until midnight, I think last Thursday,
01:49:04.920 listening to the last part of this.
01:49:07.740 It is really good.
01:49:09.620 And if you missed this book with your kids
01:49:11.240 a couple of years ago when I first put it out,
01:49:13.220 you're going to love it.
01:49:14.480 And it will help your kids learn history.
01:49:18.420 Also, a brand new documentary at the end of the month
01:49:21.080 about the real reason for immigration.
01:49:23.900 So all of that is coming in the next couple of weeks.
01:49:26.960 Most of it comes out beginning tomorrow.
01:49:29.240 So join us, will you?
01:49:31.040 Join us, help us on our mission to restore the republic,
01:49:33.980 to teach history so we can defend it.
01:49:37.460 If you don't know history,
01:49:38.680 if you don't know the Bill of Rights,
01:49:40.160 you can't defend it.
01:49:41.120 You can't argue about it.
01:49:42.600 You're going to be sitting here
01:49:43.440 and you're going to lose an argument
01:49:44.340 when somebody says,
01:49:45.240 well, how can you possibly say that about Islam?
01:49:48.200 You can't.
01:49:48.840 You can't do that on Islam.
01:49:50.300 You can't say Islamists have no place here
01:49:53.100 because the separation of church and state,
01:49:57.420 the First Amendment,
01:49:58.260 a right to freedom of speech
01:50:00.000 and freedom of religion.
01:50:01.500 No, no.
01:50:02.540 No, you'll be able, your kids will be able to argue that
01:50:07.380 in the first lesson, five in the first.
01:50:11.680 And you're going to know how to do it.

01:51:35.020 This year, America celebrates a remarkable milestone, 250 years of our country, 250 years.
01:51:45.440 That is really, truly remarkable. We have to preserve that liberty, the ideals of liberty
01:51:53.740 and the ideas. And if you study history, you'll find that freedom is never guaranteed. It has to
01:51:58.600 be defended. And it's true of America and true of Israel as well. In 1985, President Reagan spoke
01:52:04.060 about the relationship between the United States and Israel. He said, a strong, secure Israel
01:52:07.940 is a shared interest. Those words are just as true today as they were then. And that's why I'm
01:52:13.380 grateful for the work of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. For decades,
01:52:17.380 they've helped build bridges of support between Christians and America and the people of Israel.
01:52:23.740 and providing humanitarian aid in caring for families and children, older people,
01:52:30.860 anybody who is in harm's way.
01:52:33.660 Support the Jewish people in some of the most difficult moments right now.

01:52:48.600 Coming up on the Glenn Beck program,
01:52:50.340 I'm pretty sure Glenn and President Trump changed some Pentagon policy late night.
01:52:55.380 Last night, he'll tell you more after the break.
01:53:20.340 so there is a story um that is that is out today it broke this weekend that the pentagon is
01:53:31.620 culling through i don't know how many faiths and they're saying you know uh this person is
01:53:38.740 this faith is christian this faith is not christian blah blah blah you'll never guess
01:53:42.960 which faith was not christian it was my faith it was not christian everybody else was totally fine
01:53:47.100 um uh and then these are the jews and these are whatever um okay and uh i i have to tell you
01:53:57.420 i want to be honest with you i don't like this um i don't like this in me i i i get personally
01:54:06.300 offended by that and i should not take those things personally but i it it bothers me when
01:54:11.240 somebody attacks my faith, I'm sure you feel the same way. If your faith is under attack,
01:54:17.140 you feel the same way. You're like, how dare you? Don't judge me. You don't know me. You don't know
01:54:20.760 the people in my faith. Okay. Especially if you've had, you know, you're in a faith where 150 years
01:54:26.060 ago, the population of the U.S. killed half of the men in the church. I mean, you know, you're
01:54:32.420 kind of tend to get a little, you know, worrisome when people start dividing you up. I don't care
01:54:37.260 how you judge me. I really don't. I know who my Savior is. I know he saved me. I know who I serve.
01:54:43.940 I know who I worship, and that's Jesus Christ, and that's it. I also know how far short I fall
01:54:50.400 as a person of faith. I do, but I know Jesus has redeemed me, and that's all I need.
01:54:58.100 So let me just say this. I am shocked that Christians are still letting Constantine and the Nicene Creed divide lines between us. I mean, it's Constantine. I mean, read up.
01:55:12.060 But with that said, I saw a positive spin from somebody that is in my faith, an LDS member, that said, here's a potential bright side.
01:55:25.640 As an LDS service member, you used to have to be served by a Protestant chaplain.
01:55:31.980 Now he'll have to be served by an LDS chaplain, making more room for LDS chaplains and service members who want to be guided in the entirety and specificity of their faith.
01:55:41.540 Look, maybe, that's good.
01:55:43.780 In a foxhole, I really think, I think everybody's cool.
01:55:47.660 I mean, I will pray with anybody.
01:55:49.400 I really will.
01:55:50.100 God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, good, I'm in, okay?
01:55:53.280 Because we're not that different at that moment,
01:55:57.580 at that moment, okay?
01:55:59.780 Maybe that's just me.
01:56:01.000 What bothers me is the division,
01:56:04.620 and it's unnecessary because,
01:56:08.700 it's it's uh we shouldn't be doing any of this stuff okay and and i mean this
01:56:18.120 principle wise it has nothing to do with faith nothing to do with faith i do wonder why we've
01:56:25.140 you know i don't know chosen yet another battle to fight to divide us i don't know why we would
01:56:31.480 do that but anyway let me tell you what i said to the president last night last night president
01:56:36.640 calls me it's about 12 30 he's still up and going working i mean i'm in bed president calls
01:56:43.020 yes mr president i look down and i'm like what is that number oh my gosh that is the president
01:56:48.660 calling me at 12 30 a night so i pick it up yes mr president glenn and we started talking about a
01:56:56.200 few things talked about meet the press interview uh and then i brought this up and i said uh i said
01:57:03.180 Mr. President, why are we doing this?
01:57:06.420 And he didn't know anything at all about it.
01:57:09.400 Now, the reasoning has been, this is just an administrative change.
01:57:15.480 And the Pentagon has said, it's no big deal.
01:57:17.080 It's just administrative change.
01:57:18.320 We're just sorting things out.
01:57:19.780 We're just putting people in categories.
01:57:22.540 That's the problem.
01:57:24.060 That is the problem that I have.
01:57:25.920 The danger is not who holds the power today to categorize.
01:57:30.720 The danger is that the power exists at all, okay?
01:57:35.900 Everybody, and we can say this about ourselves, we're the reasonable ones.
01:57:39.200 I don't expect Pete Hegseth to do anything with that.
01:57:41.840 I mean, I don't think any persecution is coming from that.
01:57:45.200 I don't think that, okay?
01:57:47.100 We're the reasonable ones.
01:57:48.200 We can be trusted with it.
01:57:50.220 But people creating classifications never imagined themselves as the future oppressors.
01:57:56.900 they see themselves as the organizers, the administrators, the managers. Look, this is a
01:58:02.480 very complex system. I'm trying to simplify. And that's exactly what was said. These categories
01:58:08.940 are harmless. It's temporary. It's practical. It's necessary. But history teaches a different
01:58:14.960 lesson. So I don't want you to make this. This is not about my faith, your faith, or anything else.
01:58:20.560 This is about, let's not do this.
01:58:23.820 This is a very bad idea.
01:58:25.700 The moment a government decides who they can define,
01:58:30.540 who belongs and who doesn't belong,
01:58:32.660 who's inside the circle, who stands outside the circle,
01:58:35.680 it creates a tool.
01:58:37.800 And that tool is going to be inherited by people with very different convictions.
01:58:42.480 So I would be defending your faith just as much as my faith on this.
01:58:48.760 the authors on the list will not control its future they just are building the machine
01:58:57.740 others are going to operate it i just talked about this almost exact same thing when i was
01:59:03.440 talking about you can't say that guy's an islamist he can't run based on what based on what
01:59:10.400 there is no law for that we don't want more systems we don't want more lists
01:59:16.800 And today's classifications, I think, are innocent, okay?
01:59:20.920 They may be affecting nothing more than paperwork or statistics or administrative convenience or whatever.
01:59:26.900 But tomorrow, they could influence funding and access and recognition and hiring and promotion and public standing.
01:59:34.100 And the day after that, they could become the basis for bias and exclusion.
01:59:40.140 No one can guarantee where that line is going to stop once the line is drawn.
01:59:43.220 you know there are currently and now listen up because i want to make this i want to bring this
01:59:49.160 home to you who don't believe the same things that i do and that is fine i'm not trying here
01:59:53.780 to convert you to anything but there are faiths right now you know and i know that preach teach
02:00:00.640 and enforce such woke nonsense that i wouldn't even begin to know where to begin to find them
02:00:09.600 in the scriptures. Okay. God is non-binary. God is trans, that he's accepting of all lifestyle
02:00:18.200 choices. Jesus is fine with mutilating children because Jesus might be trans. Jesus is a Marxist
02:00:25.920 or Jesus is cool with abortion. They're preaching that stuff in quote, Christian churches.
02:00:33.540 So let me give you the scenario because it might seem crazy now, although honestly,
02:00:38.100 after what we've witnessed over the last 10 years.
02:00:40.480 I mean, you know, the criminal penalties
02:00:42.180 for not wearing a mask,
02:00:44.020 doctors refusing to treat you if you're not vaccinated,
02:00:47.540 Catholics being put on a terror list by the FBI.
02:00:50.660 I mean, it would make me want to stop calling warnings,
02:00:55.880 you know, crazy, but maybe that's just me.
02:00:58.700 Let's just say the scenario.
02:01:00.420 One of those woke churches found themselves
02:01:02.920 in an administrative position in our Pentagon.
02:01:06.860 Let's say the Pentagon would do something crazy like say to males
02:01:12.460 that if you identify as a woman, you can wear a dress as a uniform.
02:01:17.180 Okay, but they'd have to be really crazy to do stuff like that.
02:01:20.300 And those same administrators decided that you and your church were no longer Christian.
02:01:27.060 Would you want them to have the power to do that?
02:01:29.320 they would tell you it's just administrative but what about the next non-binary person
02:01:37.860 and the next non-binary preacher that gets the desk in the pen would they them use the list as
02:01:46.780 administrative the words they're the most dangerous are not we want control because
02:01:55.380 they're announcing it, okay? They're trust us. Trust us. We can decide who the good Christian
02:02:03.660 is, and I'm telling you that won't stop with my faith. Trust us to decide which church is
02:02:09.700 legitimate and which isn't. Trust us to decide which beliefs fall within the acceptable boundary.
02:02:15.200 Trust us. Our intentions are good. Perhaps they are. Perhaps they are. But institutions should
02:02:21.760 never be built on
02:02:23.700 assumptions that good
02:02:25.500 intentions and good people are permanent
02:02:27.660 because they're not
02:02:28.980 I don't want the government
02:02:34.040 making lists
02:02:35.340 I don't want the government deciding
02:02:37.540 especially when it comes to religion
02:02:39.420 what's one faith
02:02:41.600 and what's another faith
02:02:42.980 they shouldn't be making these classifications
02:02:45.760 and if you're cheering for these
02:02:47.120 classifications
02:02:48.160 just ask yourself if my
02:02:51.360 opponents control the system tomorrow. If what could very well happen in 2028, where they get
02:02:59.640 control of the House and the Senate and the White House, do you want them to have the authority to
02:03:08.400 define legitimacy? I don't. I don't. If the standards are rewritten by people who view
02:03:21.260 my deepest or your deepest convictions as obstacles to progress. They've already told
02:03:27.600 you what they do. If that possibility troubles you, then you understand my problem with this
02:03:32.820 whole thing. Liberty doesn't depend on having the right people in power. Liberty depends on
02:03:38.360 denying anyone the power who decides which citizens fit in which category. A government
02:03:46.980 that can classify faiths can reclassify them. A government that can define orthodoxy can
02:03:53.940 redefine it. A government that can decide who belongs can decide who doesn't belong. That's
02:03:58.820 why free societies are wise, to be cautious and never do these things, no matter how innocent
02:04:05.900 it appears. I made this case to the president last night, and he said, Glenn, I don't know
02:04:13.980 anything about it i i don't know why they're doing it i said they're doing it because of
02:04:17.460 administrative things and it is going to make things simpler i guess if you're got a thousand
02:04:21.400 and you're just saying this one's this and this one's that um he listened to me he said i'm gonna
02:04:28.940 look into it first thing i got a note from him this morning at 5 20 and i said may i may i share
02:04:38.780 this and he said sure he actually then calls me um but let me see where it is he said to me
02:04:47.760 um done they're christians congratulations i love the mormons president donald j trump
02:04:58.140 okay so whenever he says stuff like that then he calls me i said can i share that and he said
02:05:03.520 yes he calls me he says yes absolutely i gotta tell you that group of people voted for me by
02:05:09.860 95 i'm never going to forget that um okay so take that with a grain of salt on what he actually did
02:05:18.560 what he actually did was he didn't declare us christians i didn't do it whatever what he did
02:05:26.040 was he said, stop with the categories. Stop it. Stop with categories. We don't need it.
02:05:33.980 And that to me is the right answer. Not to say my faith is Christian, your faith is Christian,
02:05:40.220 but to say it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You're in a foxhole. Here's a chaplain.
02:05:46.640 Okay. If you're Islamic or you're Jewish, I'm not going to send a priest to you.
02:05:50.000 but I'm sorry. Everyone in my faith will listen to a chaplain who's reading from the Bible.
02:05:58.780 We all pray to the same God. You may not think so. We do. It's okay. Let's argue that at another
02:06:05.940 time. What do you say we all get into the foxhole and stop pointing the guns at one another and

02:09:51.820 Don't try to guess on anything.
02:09:53.120 Just what's the next best thing we have to do?
02:09:54.760 So we just put a poll out for the Torch members on Iran.
02:10:00.340 What are the results?
02:10:03.520 73% want more airstrikes.
02:10:06.080 I'm shocked.
02:10:07.580 16% want limited ground troop involvement,
02:10:10.880 and 12% want to cut a deal and be done with it.
02:10:14.300 You can do that poll at glenbeck.com.
02:10:16.720 Yeah, my first one is airstrikes.
02:10:19.480 I mean, if we can cut a deal, great, cut a deal.
02:10:22.700 If we can't cut a deal, that's not,
02:10:24.100 I mean, it has to be a good deal, but cut a deal.
02:10:26.500 If we can't, I'm fine with airstrikes.
02:10:28.760 I am not for ground troops.
02:10:30.280 I'm just not for ground troops.
02:10:33.100 I'm not.
02:10:33.880 Now, I know Jason has a different view because he's a military guy,
02:10:37.900 and he's been following this, and he's been saying to me for the last week,
02:10:41.800 I'm really kind of getting ill-tempered on this.
02:10:46.200 And, Jason, I want you to line that out in the next five seconds.
02:10:48.880 No, I want you to line that out for me tomorrow.
02:10:52.600 Could you do that?
02:10:53.260 Well do.
