On this episode of The Glenn Beck Program, Glenn talks about the drug shortage crisis in the U.S. and how the government is to blame for it. He also talks about Joe Biden's new plan to fundamentally change the economy.
00:00:50.660This personalized emergency kit contains five essential antibiotics that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections, but you can change them out depending on your family.
00:01:00.700Like, my daughter is allergic to amoxicillin, so she needs something else.
00:01:05.580You can make this completely personalized, including all of the things that your family takes, and you can have a year's supply.
00:02:24.680We are going to run down just the headlines because there are so many stories that you need to know, and maybe you haven't subscribed to our newsletter yet, but there's a ton of stories that all need just to be touched on so you're aware of them.
00:02:40.200So we go there next, and we begin with the border and Cary Lake, all coming up after 60 seconds.
00:02:49.400I'm a big fan of the free market, as you know.
00:02:51.640I think the people who founded this country understood that the best way to exist in society was to strive toward a balance of freedom and moral responsibility.
00:03:10.300One of the reasons I love partnering with Patriot Mobile, their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.
00:03:32.520We don't hype things that aren't true.
00:03:35.140But it also sets a goal for all of the people that work there that in our off hours with some of our profits, we go out and we help people save the Constitution.
00:03:47.420Why are you with any other cellular company?

00:04:11.400By the way, did you see the latest that Joe Biden said that he's actually fundamentally changing the economy?
00:04:37.100But changing the economy, taking it from an economy that takes care of those at the top and changing an economy that gives people who built this country a fair shot.
00:04:53.140They are fundamentally transforming the economy.
00:04:56.180We are moving away from a free market.
00:04:58.640We are going into a totally different public-private partnership that the elites, and you know this because you see it all the time, where the elites are the ones who make the rules.
00:05:12.640They partner with the government in ways you can't.
00:05:16.860The government protects them as long as they're doing what the government says.
00:06:05.140If we're fundamentally transforming this, and it's getting worse for the people who actually build the nation, do the work, and the elites are getting richer and richer and richer and more powerful, well, then your plan, if that was your plan, isn't working.
00:07:23.320He said, but I said things that I regret.
00:07:26.600But when I realized when hearing Lake's recording that I was set up, I believe she orchestrated this entire situation to have control over the state party.
00:07:36.220And it is obvious from the recording that she crafted her performance responses with knowledge that she was recording it.
00:11:04.780I think they're in the hole now, $55,000.
00:11:07.900So, business, probably not the thing for you either.
00:11:12.680Do you think that she will honor that?
00:11:15.980You know, was her goal just to get him to resign, or was it more of making, you know, drawing attention to the campaign and all these other things?
00:11:23.920I mean, I would hate to, you know, I would hate to destroy a man.
00:11:29.680But, I mean, if your goal is to root out corruption, if, because what this recording does, it's not about just DeWitt.
00:11:40.220It's more about the call from back east.
00:12:15.500You know, I would be like, okay, I got it.
00:12:18.680And I would come out and say, there's many things that we talked about.
00:12:22.880I don't know what he's claiming he has, and, you know, we've been friends for a very long time, and there might have been jokes that went back and forth or whatever, but I've never done anything wrong.
00:14:17.160The Constitution says that the government, the federal government, has control of the borders.
00:14:23.340However, if the federal government is not doing its job, a state can declare an invasion and take care of it themselves.
00:14:38.340Now, we've had five states join on and say, yep, this is an invasion.
00:14:43.000And so the Constitution allows the state to override any federal enforcement because the Constitution says if the government's not doing its job, then the state can say this is an invasion, which clearly it is, gang.
00:15:03.000And the state has control because the feds lost control of it and lost their ability.
00:16:16.480I'm not saying that the press had any idea, but somebody was directing the press to make sure they were like, hey, anybody says this is an invasion, you got to hammer that.
00:16:33.840Somebody, very powerful and influential, maybe groups of them in some administration, maybe the administration of the Southland Corporation, you know, they do, they do, you know, a little bit of 7-11 and then they also have invasion talk.
00:16:54.780And somebody said, quell the invasion stuff.
00:18:36.060That was, for me, worth the price of admission because I couldn't get our dog to eat for years.
00:18:42.140But then, and it might have been in the first week, and just seeing it, just him running to the bowl, he became much more active, much more spunky, always wanted to play.
00:18:53.660I mean, it gets to a point to where it's obnoxious.
00:20:47.000And because of that, he's very slow and methodical, like really slow, like three years slow.
00:20:59.640But he's, when he moves, he takes big steps.
00:21:04.060And I think this one is a huge, huge step.
00:21:09.280The press and the left, they're crazy about this.
00:21:13.840But we talked about the border, what Texas was going to do, what they're working on, all of the things.
00:21:20.020And last night's episode of Glenn TV, you want to watch it.
00:21:24.580If you're a Blaze subscriber, you can see it at any time on demand.
00:21:28.700But also, if you go to YouTube and my channel, or, yeah, I think it's youtube.com slash back, you can see it while it lasts, while it lasts.
00:47:17.420So he said the executive branch of the United States has a constitutional duty
00:47:24.060to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws, on the books right now.
00:47:32.220President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.
00:47:39.180The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration.
00:47:44.020Despite have been put on notice in a series of letters, one of which I, Greg Abbott, delivered to him personally by hand,
00:47:55.160the president has ignored Texas demand that he performs his constitutional duties.
00:48:00.780President Biden, therefore, has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress.
00:48:08.460Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry,
00:48:14.960President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border.
00:48:23.260President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants.
00:48:31.180The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States by wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas border security infrastructure.
00:48:44.960President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along the state's southern border bridges where nobody drowns into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande.
00:49:07.800Under President Biden's lawless border policies, more than six million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just three years.
00:49:17.800That is the population that is more than the population of 33 different states in this country.
00:49:27.200And that's the six million, not the 10.
00:49:33.680This illegal refusal to protect the United States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the people all across the United States.
00:49:42.220James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that states should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border.
00:50:02.540That's why the framers included both Article 4, Section 4, which promises that the federal government shall protect each state against invasion and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges, quote,
00:50:21.740the state's sovereign interest in the state's sovereign interest in protecting their borders, Arizona versus United States, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:30.280The failure of the Biden administration to fulfill its duties imposed by Article 4, Section 4 has triggered Article 1 and Section 10, Clause 3, which reserves this state to the right of self-defense.
00:50:46.760For that reason, I have already declared an invasion under Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, to invoke Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.
00:51:02.720The authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.
00:51:11.600He is declaring the Constitution, he is declaring the Constitution covers this, he's pointing out where it covers this, how it covers this, and that now the federal government has no authority because they failed to do their duty and he has declared an invasion.
00:51:32.200That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.
00:51:38.760The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that constitutional authority as well as state law to secure the Texas border.
00:51:52.740Sincerely, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas.
00:51:56.980Well, it means a constitutional crisis because now we have a state declaring its constitutional right to protect itself and the government saying, you can't do that.
00:52:13.280Also, the National Guard can be called out by a governor, but a National Guard is still under the authority of the president.
00:52:30.760But there's plenty of Americans and Texans that will, you know, sign up to protect the border.
00:52:37.900Not vigilantes, but enough security, enough police officers, former police officers that would go and join that if they were serious about stopping illegals from coming in.
00:52:53.960Now, Biden says, well, he just can't get the money.
00:54:16.800Biden came in in day one and completely, through executive order, overturned everything that Trump had done.
00:54:27.360We saw it and it's only getting worse now.
00:54:31.840Our government, through NGOs, public-private partnerships, I showed you last night, it is stunning what the UN alone is doing and we're paying for it.
00:54:44.040They are intentionally moving people from South America, Central America, and Mexico into the United States.
00:54:56.680This is all part of the UN and the WEF, which Joe Biden is fundamentally signed on for and leading the world.
00:55:07.100So, do they have the right to do this?
00:55:50.060They had no reason to join the United States.
00:55:54.260They wanted to, but they needed to make sure.
00:55:57.460This is why Texas, the Lone Star State, has just a different attitude here.
00:56:04.420Because from the beginning, it's like, we'll join, but we're still Texas.
00:56:09.980Texas, and they would have never signed on if they didn't have the right to supersede the government in protecting its borders if the government failed on their job.
00:56:23.480So, he's saying Texas is upholding the law while Biden is flouting.
00:56:31.440We have five states because you can, in your state, join by declaring an invasion.
00:56:44.640When you do that, then your state has the ability, the legal constitutional authority, to protect itself.
00:57:59.800They're going to overwhelm the system.
00:58:02.060And unless you say, no, no more, and you don't wait around for Washington to do it, unless your state declares an invasion, you're going to be overrun.
00:58:16.240This is the time for the states to stand together.
00:58:21.320The Democrats are really not happy about this.
00:59:17.980And I'm at that point in my life where you're old enough, successful enough, that people will say, that must be cool, because, I mean, he's doing it.
00:59:27.640That's not what people say about you, Glenn.
00:59:29.480No, they say I'm crazy, but that's fine.
00:59:33.600So, you know, hey, they called Einstein crazy, too.
00:59:36.980Actually, they didn't, but it makes me feel better at night.
00:59:39.280Anyway, take advantage of the free shipping, especially on the larger items, such as mattress toppers, 100% made in the USA, on sale now for $99.
00:59:48.600Sarah, in the control room, I saw you push a button and talk directly into his headphones.
01:01:57.760And I, you know, it's really liberating when you just, like, sometimes I actually pick things to wear that I know don't match just to piss you guys off.
01:02:07.760Just to go, what the hell is he doing?
01:19:04.680The energy, the real energy crush on us does not really kick in until next year after the election.
01:19:13.040That's when you'll really start feeling the crisis of electricity and energy.
01:19:19.960Sunday was the National Sanctity of Human Life Day in honor of over the 65 million babies who have been aborted since Roe versus Wade became the law of the land.
01:19:29.560Well, thank God, Roe is no longer the law of the land.
01:19:33.200But unfortunately, our job as members of the pro-life community is far from over.
01:19:37.720Because the Supreme Court didn't stop abortion like they'd like to have you believe.
01:19:42.540What they said is, the federal government has no place in this.
01:21:40.300Her 20-year-old daughter was horribly raped and killed by somebody the federal government allowed in and then shipped them out to Maryland.
01:23:02.100One, Washington State just effectively banned the use of natural gas.
01:23:08.680The electric car is going the way of the dodo bird because nobody wants to buy them.
01:23:14.700We don't have the energy to do it and we are already beginning to see the Biden administration, the effect of what they've done to our energy.
01:23:27.040Unfortunately, you won't really feel the impact until really beginning next year.
01:23:32.760That's when all of these things are really kicking in and your price of energy is going to go through the roof.
01:33:22.700He kept creeping around the trailer, looking to see if anybody found her.
01:33:28.300And the boy, her boyfriend comes home from work like a normal day and finds her on the floor dead.
01:33:38.280And he uses his teeth to get the cords off.
01:33:42.080He thinks he could save her, but it's already too late.
01:33:46.940And the detectives were questioning him and everybody in the trailer.
01:33:51.120And her boyfriend pointed out the MS-13 gang member and said, that's our roommate right there.
01:34:00.800And he's still creeping around and they didn't have enough to detain him, but they were questioning him.
01:34:10.420And they did ask ice if they could hold him until the DNA evidence came back and ice just told them, no, we cannot.
01:34:21.860So guess who gets to have him child protective services in Maryland child protective services told the detectives that they were going to put him in a secure location because they knew what he did, that he was a main suspect in a premeditated murder case.
01:34:45.780And when they went to go arrest him on January 14th, like in the evening, well, finally, they did get enough evidence back that there was DNA evidence and they went to go look for him on January 15th at the, they found out that CPS put him in an unsecured children's home with other children.
01:35:15.780Oh, so they went, so they went to go get him at this children's home.
01:35:24.360And the types of were like, this is secured.
01:35:27.480Like there was no adults around kids running around, come to find out, they went to ask if he was there.
01:35:36.480One of the adults there was like, no, he's gone.
01:35:40.600And the detectives were like, well, where did he go?
01:35:48.920They had no record who signed him out or anything.
01:35:52.320Just someone just came and picked him up.
01:35:54.920They called his half brother to tell him that, oh yeah, we got some property of your brother.
01:36:01.740We would like to return to him and they ended up arresting him at a foster home where CPS put him.
01:36:13.400Okay, I want to just take a minute to get from there and now to the next part of the story, which is you are suing the Department of Homeland Security.
01:36:27.080Because just, I mean, just even asking about the MS-13 tattoo didn't even happen.
01:36:36.460And they just let this kid come in recklessly and he's the reason why your wonderful daughter is no longer here.
01:36:51.420And I want to talk to you about how this is coming about and the odds of you winning that coming up in just a second.
01:37:01.920First, what is your relationship to firearms?
01:37:07.000As an American, you have the right to keep and bear arms.
01:37:10.220But that right comes with a fair amount of responsibility.
01:37:13.800Not every situation where you have to protect yourself or your family calls for lethal violence.
01:37:18.280I think we just heard a story that could have called for lethal violence.
01:37:24.000Fortunately, with a burner launcher, you can still maintain your safety.
01:37:28.040You just have other options that you wouldn't otherwise have.
01:37:30.840The non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home.
01:37:34.840That'll teach somebody a very painful but non-lethal lesson.
01:40:45.160I hope he is one of the best in the country.
01:40:48.940You've got quite a storm ahead of you, but you have a great case.
01:40:53.560And it is time that somebody stands up.
01:40:57.360And I think there should be more parents that join you that have lost their children to illegals.
01:41:03.960I hope that people join you in your effort because it's way beyond time that this stops.
01:41:12.040You are trying to raise, I think, $10,000 just to pay for the travel of the meetings with the prosecutor and, you know, the Airbnb for the court case, which they say will take two to three weeks.
01:45:44.920He ran as sort of a moderate, more moderate.
01:45:49.180His voting record is very close to a standard Democratic voting record.
01:45:53.260Although one of the things that's notable about this run is there is obviously anti-Biden energy on the left, right?
01:46:00.260Like there is a, I mean, you know, he did this anti, or I guess pro-abortion.
01:46:04.720I was going to say anti-life, which is actually probably a better way of talking about it.
01:46:09.480But a pro-abortion rally the other day, and he got interrupted 15 times, Biden did, during the speech, not by pro-life people, but by Gaza ceasefire, genocide.
01:46:55.500And the New Hampshire newspaper endorsed his campaign.
01:46:59.320And he shared his conviction that Biden would lose in 2020 in a rematch against Trump and warned of a crisis of participation within the Democratic Party.
01:47:09.940He said, and I'm quoting, I have to tell you guys, I went to a Donald Trump rally a couple of nights ago.
01:51:33.720Because all the decisions are made by four mob bosses.
01:51:37.420The four heads of the Senate and the House, two Republicans, two Democrats, they make all the decisions and then they come in and say, you've got 12 hours, you've got five hours, you're going to pass it or you're not going to pass it.
01:53:04.880But I know enough about it to know how it's supposed to work.
01:53:14.020And I just, I don't understand how we don't all feel this way.
01:53:23.880Is it because we've all just dug our heels in and we are so, they, on the left, they're so frightened by Donald Trump that they can't see beyond that.
01:55:32.860And it doesn't mean great like beat your chest great.
01:55:36.200I mean, Donald Trump is that kind of guy, but that's, I mean, make America great again is something that we should all be working for, and you interpret it your way.
01:55:45.220It doesn't mean let's rub the nose of everybody because we're the greatest of all time.
01:55:52.160It means there's some great things that have happened and come out of this country.
01:56:25.460I probably don't agree with anything that he says, but he's at least a decent human being who said, I'm just going to go see it for myself.
01:56:34.780And then has the courage in today's environment to say, you know, my own party is wrong.
01:56:46.640You'll hear it on the left when they'll say, our own party is wrong.
01:56:50.380They're actually thinking it was a bad thing that Hamas came in and killed all those Jews.
01:56:55.640You don't hear people saying, you know what, I don't think these are bad people.
01:57:03.600It's amazing how the people who are in our streets saying this was a good thing, that October 7th, killing all those Jews, that was a good thing.
01:57:15.100And the people who are just saying, I just, I want somebody to pause and look at what we're doing to our own country and they're good, decent, law-abiding citizens, how they're the bad guys.
01:57:31.120I'd love to talk to Dean Phillips, have him on.
01:57:34.320And not because I'm going to ever vote for, you know, the party and Democratic Party the way it is, but I just at least would like to talk to a reasonable, it gives me faith that there are some reasonable Democrats.
01:57:51.280Anyway, sorry, Dean, I just killed your chances, but no chance whatsoever, but that's what I do.
01:57:58.940I'm here to kill people's, you know, political careers.
01:58:02.280Anyway, let me tell you about our sponsor this F-Hour.
01:58:35.280Anyway, but then I get back on the boat, and I lose all my gold on the other side.
01:58:42.080And I'm like, I really should not be such a big boater guy, but it's in me, you know?
01:58:46.600So don't come to my house if there's shortages, because I'm not going on a boat anymore, and I also have my backup life-saving medications.
01:58:57.240And if I had guns, I'd stop you from taking those medications when there's panic in the street and nobody has any medications.
01:59:31.940If there is a problem and a breakdown of the system, how are you going to keep your family going if you don't have access to this really important medication?
02:00:12.400We're down to this again, two days in a row.
02:00:38.680Listen, I was going to tell you about the special we did last night on the border.
02:00:42.740I had Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick from Texas.
02:00:46.260He's the head of the Senate here in Texas and Lieutenant Governor.
02:00:49.700And he was quite clear about what Texas is going to do and not do.
02:00:54.320And they're not caving in to the federal government.
02:00:57.580And we discussed Governor Abbott's letter to the president yesterday.
02:01:04.040He is invoking the Constitution, and he's right on that.
02:01:08.340So, you can see that, you know, either on YouTube dot com slash Glenn Beck, or if you're a Blaze TV subscriber, it's available on demand anytime you want it.
02:01:19.400I'm going to do this on Studios America tonight as well when you're going to what is essentially turning into a constitutional crisis, or at least a potential one.
02:01:26.800I feel like it might be overstating it a little bit just because I think the way this ruling came down, there is no disagreement.
02:01:37.740Texas is not breaking any rules by doing what they're doing.
