The Glenn Beck Program - Hunter Biden Proves Red-Flag Laws DON’T WORK! ｜ Guests： Sen. Mike Lee & Eric Schmitt

00:00:00.000 Let me tell you a little bit about GRIP 6.

00:00:02.360 GRIP 6, they are the greatest socks.

00:00:05.340 In fact, I'm wearing them even as we speak.

00:00:09.140 They are moisture wicking, which I don't even want to think about.

00:00:14.040 They're naturally antibacterial.

00:00:16.120 Another thing that I don't want to think about.

00:00:18.380 You can wear them for several days in a row and they won't stink.

00:00:21.860 Another thing I don't want to think about.

00:00:23.740 Here's what I want to think about.

00:00:25.140 I love them.

00:00:26.340 I love them.

00:00:27.100 They don't shrink when you wash them.

00:00:30.160 They never lose their elasticity.

00:00:33.800 You can stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer.

00:00:37.060 They're really, really great socks.

00:00:39.260 You're looking for some great socks?

00:00:40.580 Don't think any further than GRIP 6.

00:00:43.180 GRIP, the number 6.com slash Beck.

00:00:46.080 GRIP6.com slash Beck.

00:00:59.360 We've got no room to compromise.

00:01:17.820 We've got to stand together.

00:01:22.200 It's going to survive.

00:01:24.060 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:43.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:47.920 Hello, America.

00:01:51.400 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:53.140 We're so glad that you joined us.

00:01:54.660 Last night, it was about 7 o'clock Eastern time.

00:01:58.440 I get a text from a friend.

00:02:02.180 We're voting tonight on a gun bill that literally no one has read.

00:02:08.400 This is criminally reckless.

00:02:13.140 Well, I decided to talk to one of the people that were voting on that bill.

00:02:19.820 The gun bill.

00:02:20.900 Mike Lee joins me in 60 seconds.

00:02:29.700 Going online without proper protection for your personal information could, I mean, honestly,

00:02:35.400 you might get the monkey pox.

00:02:36.860 I don't know.

00:02:38.000 I don't know.

00:02:38.700 But I hope the government is funding some sort of internet monkey pox vaccine that we'll all

00:02:45.940 be forced to take.

00:02:47.420 But, you know, that's if we're all lucky.

00:02:49.920 There are lots of cyber criminals out of there, some with monkey pox, I imagine, some without.

00:02:55.020 But every day, they'll screw up your life.

00:02:57.840 It's really important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives

00:03:02.380 every day.

00:03:02.840 We put our information at risk on the internet, and that's what LifeLock is there for.

00:03:07.160 They can't catch everything.

00:03:08.480 Nobody can.

00:03:09.000 But they can monitor things better than you can on your own.

00:03:12.000 And if you do become a victim, their restoration specialists work with you to help fix the problem.

00:03:30.480 Senator Mike Lee is joining us.

00:03:34.320 In case you didn't hear, John Cornyn and other very, very popular senators sold us out and worked

00:03:45.960 on comprehensive gun control.

00:03:48.320 It passed the Senate.

00:03:50.520 Did anybody read it?

00:03:52.700 I don't know.

00:03:53.260 Senator Lee, Mike, did anybody read it?

00:03:56.820 Did you guys have time?

00:03:59.180 Well, look, I assume that a small handful must have read it because there were a group of

00:04:04.340 senators, 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats who got together and wrote this behind closed

00:04:08.220 doors.

00:04:08.460 I hope they read it, but I don't think anyone else had the chance to.

00:04:13.240 In fact, by yesterday afternoon, mid-afternoon, a number of news media outlets were reporting

00:04:18.820 that they had the bill text.

00:04:20.420 Senators still didn't.

00:04:22.160 We received the bill text just moments before we were expected to vote on it, and it ended

00:04:28.320 up getting an overwhelming vote because basically all Democrats and 10 or 15 Republicans voted

00:04:35.900 for it.

00:04:36.680 This is stunning to me.

00:04:38.080 This is not how the Senate is supposed to operate.

00:04:41.800 I mean, OK, so, Mike, tell me, tell me this, first of all, the devil is always in the

00:04:49.680 details.

00:04:50.240 You're an attorney.

00:04:50.980 Most of you guys in the Senate are attorneys, so you know this.

00:04:56.580 You can say one thing, but I'm never going to sign a contract that is just a kind of a

00:05:03.320 list of things that are in the contract.

00:05:05.060 Say, yeah, it's all done.

00:05:06.480 I'm going to read every word of that contract because the way it's worded makes all the

00:05:11.620 difference in the world.

00:05:13.360 Is that did you just get a list of stuff or did you get the actual physical bill with

00:05:19.380 all of the legal jargon in it?

00:05:22.140 And if so, how could you possibly read it, even if you had it for two hours?

00:05:27.300 Right.

00:05:28.380 We got the text of the bill and a blind vote was required within an hour.

00:05:34.220 And so with only moments to review, no committee hearings, no regular order, a vote was held

00:05:40.900 with implications concerning a pretty essential constitutional right.

00:05:45.060 And immediately after, Senator Schumer, the majority leader, used the procedure.

00:05:51.480 It's called filling the tree and filing cloture, which means he's going to block all amendments.

00:05:58.380 It means that this bill text is now sacred.

00:06:01.440 It's now protected.

00:06:02.680 It's like it's on on stone tablets and you can't change it from here on out.

00:06:08.880 And this is how they set it up so that they can pass it as is without any amendments.

00:06:15.060 This is the Senate operating at its worst.

00:06:17.940 It operates at its best when people bring forward legislation, they propose something

00:06:22.300 and the senators hold hearings on it.

00:06:25.540 They discuss the language they debated.

00:06:27.640 And then they they also debate amendments.

00:06:30.140 They say, OK, this provision here might be OK if you made these changes.

00:06:34.220 This one over here might be OK if you made those changes.

00:06:37.220 That's what the American people deserve.

00:06:38.980 They deserve better from the world's greatest deliberative body.

00:06:41.720 They didn't have that here.

00:06:43.140 So, Mike, do we even really have a Senate process anymore?

00:06:49.260 Because to me, as an outsider, it sounds like you got a group of people anywhere from three

00:06:55.320 to ten that get together, decide on what's going to be voted, what the bill is.

00:07:00.600 Then they put it in front of you guys, say, you know, you have no time to read it.

00:07:05.880 You just have to vote.

00:07:07.040 Trust us.

00:07:08.160 I mean, I don't know the last time I heard a real debate on a bill.

00:07:12.180 I mean, you used to when they were important things, we would watch C-SPAN, believe it

00:07:17.080 or not, and we would listen to you guys debate back and forth.

00:07:20.860 I can't think of a time that that has happened in the last 10 years.

00:07:25.300 Do we have a Senate?

00:07:26.660 Well, yeah, we do.

00:07:28.560 We do.

00:07:28.960 And there are plenty of times where that has happened.

00:07:31.000 It was noticeably absent here.

00:07:32.560 And yes, we do have a Senate.

00:07:34.580 We do have a process for those things to happen.

00:07:36.860 And we routinely do use them.

00:07:39.500 The problem arises where we don't use them, where senators choose not to do it.

00:07:45.280 Now, look, I've given you the bad news.

00:07:47.680 The good news is this still isn't over.

00:07:49.800 This thing isn't passed yet.

00:07:51.200 What we voted on last night was known as a motion to proceed.

00:07:54.880 We it's a procedural motion to get onto the bill.

00:07:57.880 In a couple of days, probably sometime tomorrow, we'll be casting another vote that's called

00:08:04.960 the cloture vote, which is about how to bring debate to a close, which seems it's potentially

00:08:12.540 perfunctory here, because apparently what they've got in mind is no amendments at all

00:08:18.780 and not much real debate at all.

00:08:21.200 But if if you can't get to 60 votes voting to bring debate to a close through cloture

00:08:26.120 tomorrow, then this thing can't pass.

00:08:29.440 So it's not entirely baked yet.

00:08:31.940 It's just mostly baked.

00:08:33.280 If we can convince enough senators to say, hey, this needs more time, this needs more

00:08:38.420 deliberation, this needs more debate, then perhaps we can have a real process here, which

00:08:43.240 is what we really want.

00:08:44.140 But don't we have don't we have 15 Republicans, is it 12 or 15 that voted for it?

00:08:51.900 So you would need I believe that you need probably 14 last night.

00:08:58.140 OK, so you'd you'd need at least four to flip.

00:09:03.280 Yeah, five, you'd need five.

00:09:06.080 But see, Glenn, this is this highlights another issue that I've got with it, especially in an

00:09:10.440 election year like this one, as contentious as it's become and with a Democratic president

00:09:15.820 who has become as abusive as he has of government processes and of policies that are important

00:09:21.620 to Republicans.

00:09:22.800 I think it's disappointing, really, that we've got a bill that unites, as far as I can tell,

00:09:30.020 all 50 Democrats and it deeply divides Republicans.

00:09:35.640 Why?

00:09:36.400 Why do this now?

00:09:37.860 Well, why do this without at least any process?

00:09:40.980 Look, I understand the need for bipartisanship.

00:09:43.200 I understand that not every Republican is always going to agree with every other Republican.

00:09:48.140 But at least give us the process.

00:09:50.900 And that's why it's on that basis that I'd encourage my Republican colleagues who voted

00:09:54.560 to proceed last night to strongly reconsider their vote when it comes to cloture.

00:09:59.220 Let's not bring this debate to a close when we're nowhere near ready.

00:10:03.720 To fully understand this thing.

00:10:06.940 The American people really do deserve better here.

00:10:11.180 Who do we need to call?

00:10:13.080 Well, look, I think a good place is a good place to start would be anyone who voted to proceed

00:10:21.900 on that last night and separate and apart from calling them, just having a national discussion

00:10:28.300 about what's in the bill, about some of the uncertainties that and and I want to make clear

00:10:34.280 there are a number of legislative options before us that do address or could address things

00:10:39.280 that can be done practically to improve safety in this area.

00:10:44.300 One one of those things is called the Luke and Alex School Safety Act, and that's included

00:10:49.100 in this bill.

00:10:49.760 And it codifies in the law of the federal clearinghouse on school safety.

00:10:53.640 I spoke in favor of that bill at a hearing last week, and that bill is included within this

00:10:58.080 package.

00:10:59.220 And I'm open to others, other ideas that tackle safety in schools head on.

00:11:04.660 Senator Marshall has an interesting proposal, for example, that would that would use unspent

00:11:09.180 COVID funds to improve school safety and security.

00:11:12.240 And I could also support increasing penalties for straw purchasers who know or have reason to

00:11:19.320 know that the gun they're purchasing is for someone who will use it in a crime.

00:11:25.120 So, Mike, is it true with these red flag laws that are in this bill that the money goes to

00:11:32.340 states for school safety that will that will adopt the red flag laws?

00:11:41.000 Is that true?

00:11:42.040 There's there seems to be money being held back from basically red states.

00:11:47.100 Yeah, I mean, you're you're on the right track.

00:11:50.820 It's not exactly that.

00:11:52.020 It's it's not school safety funds that go to red flag law states, but it's it's other

00:11:57.300 funds, these criminal enforcement called burn jag grants that will be made more available

00:12:05.460 to states with red flag laws than those without them.

00:12:09.380 And we there is really bad, ambiguous, vague language in there that purports to protect

00:12:18.700 due process, reports to protect the rights of the person accused of something before they

00:12:25.800 take can take their guns away.

00:12:27.380 But the language is loose enough that I think you could you could run a Mack truck through it.

00:12:32.420 And I think these these states that have existing red flag laws that have no real due process

00:12:39.380 protections to speak of are probably going to be just fine.

00:12:45.060 They won't have to make any changes to them.

00:12:47.100 I mean, think about it, Glenn.

00:12:48.060 If if somebody takes away a constitutional right from you, don't you think that the fifth

00:12:55.020 and 14th amendments, if it's government taking away a constitutional right from you, don't

00:12:59.800 you think that those two amendments require that you be given due process of law before

00:13:04.940 they can deprive you of life, liberty or property?

00:13:07.780 Yes.

00:13:08.000 I mean, we have two different provisions of the Constitution that say as much.

00:13:12.240 And so anytime we're tinkering with that, as I think we are, when we give extra money

00:13:17.600 to states with red flag laws, because red flag laws allow the government to come in and take

00:13:25.940 your gun away without giving you a full access to a full hearing in front of a court in which

00:13:31.720 you can present evidence to the judge and in which you can confront your witnesses.

00:13:38.140 We've got multiple constitutional protections at place here at stake.

00:13:42.360 It's crazy.

00:13:43.240 This is this is also your due process, right?

00:13:45.460 Your confrontation clause rights, your jury trial rights.

00:13:48.100 They're all being undermined by this, arguably.

00:13:50.640 We need to know what this actually does before Congress passes it.

00:13:58.100 Cornyn said last week he was booed at the GOP convention in Texas, and he said as he left,

00:14:05.280 I don't I don't give in to mobs.

00:14:07.360 This doesn't bother me.

00:14:09.140 And I thought, well, that's not a mob.

00:14:11.300 Those are the people you're supposed to represent.

00:14:12.980 That's the party that you are supposed to represent.

00:14:17.760 What do you mean?

00:14:18.660 It's a mob now.

00:14:21.380 He's quoted as saying first guns, now immigration.

00:14:28.120 And cinema is quoted saying that's right.

00:14:30.620 We're going to do it.

00:14:31.660 So Cornyn apparently is, you know, on the road now for for negotiations on the border.

00:14:42.500 It is that possibly true?

00:14:46.300 Please tell me.

00:14:47.220 Meaning he's not in Washington.

00:14:48.300 No, he's in Washington.

00:14:51.560 Last Friday, he gave a speech where he said where he was booed at the GOP convention.

00:14:57.020 And he said, I don't give in to mobs.

00:14:59.860 I'm not going to give in to you.

00:15:02.100 And he was booed because of his his work on this this gun reform.

00:15:07.620 Now, apparently, he has said to Senator Alex Padilla, first guns, now immigration.

00:15:18.400 And Padilla smiled.

00:15:21.300 This is according to sources that he smiled.

00:15:25.360 And cinema said, that's right.

00:15:27.400 We're going to do it.

00:15:28.340 So, apparently, he's now pledging his support for amnesty as well on the border.

00:15:35.260 Well, OK, so that's news to me that I would be a little surprised if he thought that was a good idea right now.

00:15:44.320 And so I wouldn't want to speak for him on this.

00:15:47.760 But that would surprise me a little bit, especially given this administration's problems with the border.

00:15:54.380 I mean, that's basically killed any chance for immigration reform with an administration that has refused to enforce the border at all, resulting in the multibillion dollar profits flowing into international drug cartels.

00:16:09.080 So, yeah, that part would surprise me.

00:16:11.800 But but this raises an interesting connection.

00:16:14.580 If we were to do that, I would be worried.

00:16:16.980 Like, we don't we ought not have a handful of Republicans empowering and uniting all Democrats in the Senate.

00:16:24.880 That's how bad policy is made, especially when you rush it through without the public having adequate opportunity to understand what's being passed.

00:16:34.340 Senator Mike Lee, as always, good to have you on.

00:16:36.920 Thanks for standing up.

00:16:38.400 Tell us what we can do.

00:16:39.860 I mean, we have millions of people that are want to stop this, want to help.

00:16:45.240 So I guess we'll start with those Republicans, too, if you can get that list of those Republicans that voted last night to proceed with this this gun violence bill.

00:16:57.740 The devil is always in the details.

00:16:59.760 And this is you know what, Mike, hang on, because I want to play a piece.

00:17:03.040 Do you have a second?

00:17:05.020 Sure.

00:17:06.660 OK, hang on just a sec.

00:17:07.900 Let me do a commercial.

00:17:08.720 I'm going to come back.

00:17:09.360 Stu, can you get that audio that we were talking about earlier?

00:17:11.980 Sure.

00:17:12.080 Where this is just a ruse and we'll play the audio and get Mike's thoughts on it here in just a second.

00:17:20.680 Stand by first.

00:18:42.620 Talking to Senator Mike Lee.

00:18:55.040 I want to get his reaction on this clip from Senator Chris Murphy.

00:18:57.740 It's about how, really what the real reason is they're trying to get Republicans to pass this particular bill.

00:19:05.720 Listen.

00:19:05.840 This is the broader mythology about gun laws, which is that if you vote for them, you are going to lose politically.

00:19:13.200 That is not true.

00:19:14.740 I mean, the mythology all dates to the 1994 election.

00:19:17.980 President Clinton, after that election, made a statement to suggest that it was the assault weapons ban that led to the losses in the 1994 midterms.

00:19:26.680 And so why I think getting this done is so critical is not just because the provisions will save lives, but also because by showing Republicans that the political sky does not fall when you vote for common sense gun safety measures, we will actually make it much more possible that we'll be able to pass further measures down the line.

00:19:44.780 You have to get that first step done.

00:19:46.780 You have to prove that theory of political harm wrong in order to be able to do anything else.

00:19:53.420 Mike, your thoughts on this?

00:19:56.680 Well, first of all, Republicans taking political advice from Democrats is always a treacherous endeavor.

00:20:03.440 It's not that they're never right.

00:20:04.740 It's that we've got different incentives.

00:20:07.600 We've got different constituencies with sometimes different philosophies on how government ought to operate.

00:20:13.720 And in any event, none of that, none of that justifies taking a bill of this significance with this much breadth to it and jamming it through in a matter of a couple of days before the public even understands what's in it.

00:20:29.580 What's the definition of criminally negligent?

00:20:31.960 Well, look, if you actively if you if you ignore a known risk, you could you could find criminal behavior that, while not intentional, is designed to result in or would naturally result in harm to others.

00:20:51.740 So, for example, if you if you close your eyes while driving through an intersection, not knowing or stepping to find out whether the light is red or green, that might qualify.

00:21:03.340 So voting on something that is this crucial to the security of the people and the Constitution without really understanding it could be construed as criminally negligent.

00:21:18.620 Yeah, and not in the prosecutorial sense, but but yeah, I do think it's I do think it's negligent and I think it's indefensible for someone to vote on something without knowing what's in it, especially where you've got substantial constitutional rights at stake.

00:21:37.300 And it really is deeply concerning that this is how they see it.

00:21:43.760 And I'm especially concerned that we've got Republicans who are willing, fully willing to unite Senate Democrats and enact something with at best an uncertain impact on the constitutional right.

00:22:00.280 Mike Lee, thank you very much.

00:22:02.380 We'll talk again.

00:22:04.040 First things first.

00:22:05.560 But Cornyn has got to go.

00:22:10.800 Who will run against John Cornyn?

00:22:15.580 He's got to go.

00:23:59.180 You know, this gun control stuff could not happen at a better time in some ways.

00:24:05.580 You know, 20 years ago, we kind of trusted our government.

00:24:11.260 We did exactly the opposite of what George Washington said.

00:24:14.780 George Washington said, treat government like a fire.

00:24:17.980 When you're in control of it, it will keep you warm.

00:24:21.440 And it's fine.

00:24:22.180 It could be useful.

00:24:23.620 When it's in control of you, it will burn everything down.

00:24:28.380 We now are starting to, at least some of us, are starting to look at the government.

00:24:34.540 And there's no way the Patriot Act would have passed today.

00:24:39.740 You know, assuming we had a regular Senate and everything else.

00:24:42.820 I can't imagine that the Patriot Act would have come close to passing today.

00:24:49.420 Because there's enough people who are like, uh-uh.

00:24:51.420 No more power for you guys.

00:24:53.120 No more power.

00:24:54.060 Now we're giving them the red flag laws.

00:24:59.200 We're giving them the power to say, oh, you know what?

00:25:03.740 You've had some mental health problems.

00:25:06.360 Oh, you've had Prozac.

00:25:08.400 Whatever it is.

00:25:10.220 And I'm sure there's going to be a really simple way to combat this in the courts.

00:25:16.280 Because you don't get to face your accuser.

00:25:17.920 So all of that is bad.

00:25:21.720 But here's the worst part of it.

00:25:24.180 And this is the main thing that I think every American should be able to relate to.

00:25:28.940 And it should give them pause.

00:25:32.900 If red flag laws...

00:25:34.540 Now, hear me out.

00:25:35.180 If you're a Democrat or voted a different way, that's fine.

00:25:38.660 Just please hear me out on this.

00:25:41.360 If red flag laws become the law of the land, do you think that Hunter Biden would lose his guns or go to jail?

00:25:51.920 Looking just at the existing red flag laws, as well as the DOJ's model legislation about them,

00:26:01.800 in essence, a petitioner may approach the court and request a close relative, friend, student, patient,

00:26:09.380 have their firearm taken away if they have cause for believing that person will hurt themselves or others.

00:26:16.240 The judge has to consider multiple factors, including criminal history, drug abuse,

00:26:22.900 threatens or threats if they've threatened anyone, attempted or actual use of force,

00:26:30.100 or even how recently the gun was purchased.

00:26:32.640 It's a pretty wide net.

00:26:35.000 And it can catch whomever it needs to catch.

00:26:37.980 And conversely, let anyone you need to let through, through.

00:26:43.060 Now, let me tell you a story.

00:26:44.420 In 2018, Hallie Biden took Hunter Biden's gun, wrapped it in a shopping bag,

00:26:52.980 and then chucked it into the trash can outside of a supermarket across from a school.

00:26:58.720 When they went back to get the gun, it was gone.

00:27:04.780 Now, somebody had gone through the trash, found the gun, and turned it in to the supermarket,

00:27:11.300 and the supermarket called police.

00:27:12.840 But like so many Hunter Biden stories, the chaos created some sort of a sandstorm,

00:27:20.080 which you can't find anything anymore.

00:27:23.280 And just tidbits of information emerged.

00:27:26.500 The main one being that the gun in question was purchased by Hunter Biden illegally.

00:27:33.160 Let me say that again.

00:27:36.840 This gun, purchased by the son of the President of the United States,

00:27:43.640 was purchased in the East Coast in a fashion that is illegal,

00:27:50.400 and the East Coast, they come down on you like a bag of bricks.

00:27:54.700 Next to the question that you have to fill out when you buy a gun for a background check,

00:28:03.820 are you an unlawful user or addicted to marijuana, any depressant, stimulant,

00:28:11.600 narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

00:28:14.860 The answer with Hunter Biden is clearly, and was clearly, yes, but he checked no.

00:28:23.740 Hunter recalled the gun in the garbage incident in a text found on his abandoned laptop.

00:28:28.700 In it, he said,

00:28:29.860 She stole the gun out of my trunk lockbox and then threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Janssen's.

00:28:39.060 That's the grocery store.

00:28:40.360 She said she took it from me because she was scared I would harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem

00:28:47.260 and our volatile relationship and that she was afraid for the kids.

00:28:53.160 Is that red flag?

00:28:55.420 Hallie wrote to Hunter saying,

00:28:56.960 I'm scared you would use it, Hunter.

00:28:58.740 I'm scared for your life, Hunter.

00:29:01.060 I love you.

00:29:01.800 I'm sorry.

00:29:02.620 But Hunter was enraged.

00:29:05.380 He texted her saying,

00:29:06.620 They think you're scared I would shoot you, you effing a-hole.

00:29:12.580 You now have me as an abusive pedophile with homicidal tendencies.

00:29:19.440 And that's now in the hands of the FBI.

00:29:22.180 So she said all of these things.

00:29:26.200 She told the FBI.

00:29:28.740 Uh, I'm afraid for our life.

00:29:31.680 I'm afraid for the children.

00:29:33.460 Uh, I'm afraid that he might use it on himself.

00:29:36.660 He is addicted to drugs, to crack cocaine.

00:29:40.780 It was in the hands of the FBI.

00:29:43.440 How long would you have the gun or be free on the streets if that happened to you?

00:29:51.620 In desperation, she wrote back, I'm at the end of my sanity.

00:29:55.120 He responded in multiple messages saying,

00:29:58.060 Uh, what right do you have, Hallie?

00:30:02.060 There are five guns in my dad's house.

00:30:04.980 Uh, there are effing more weapons in your son's room than in an armory.

00:30:11.120 What's my eff up?

00:30:13.940 Owning a gun?

00:30:15.780 How, Hallie, is that wrong?

00:30:17.500 It's only wrong if you make me out to be unstable.

00:30:21.000 I'm proven unstable when you put a gun in the trash can at Jansen's out of fear.

00:30:27.840 Hmm.

00:30:28.160 Then again, in a separate message, he writes, what fear?

00:30:32.820 Hunter is either insane, homicidal, or just a drug addict.

00:30:36.980 He finally ended the conversation saying, you're right, Hallie.

00:30:39.820 My life is meaningless.

00:30:43.600 There were no charges filed as a result of this incident.

00:30:49.260 None.

00:30:49.820 If you voted for, uh, uh, Joe Biden and you believe in all of these red flag laws, then

00:30:58.940 why isn't Hunter Biden in jail today?

00:31:02.500 If you really believe these people in Washington to believe this, then why wouldn't just a good

00:31:09.100 father say, you know, dude, you've got to pay a price for your behavior.

00:31:16.340 And now, even though it added the, uh, to the unraveling of Hunter and Hallie's toxic

00:31:24.300 relationship, no legal consequences.

00:31:28.220 Now the agency denied it.

00:31:30.660 Even political reported the secret service was likely involved, but the agency, the FBI

00:31:38.820 said, no, that didn't happen.

00:31:40.600 What?

00:31:40.900 How did the, what?

00:31:41.760 You and I both know, you and I both know that the ramifications of Hunter Biden's activities

00:31:56.280 and his tragic saga go well beyond Hunter Biden because they are teaching people a lesson.

00:32:03.460 We are moving towards a society that has a ruling class that lives above their own edicts.

00:32:12.720 They tell us they know better.

00:32:15.780 They tell us that our neighbors and even some of us are dangerous while ignoring the dangers

00:32:23.420 in their own lives or in their own families.

00:32:26.840 We now expect that our leaders and those that have favor with those leaders will not face

00:32:38.120 any consequences.

00:32:40.100 And even if you are a leader, if you don't play games with the leadership, you're out.

00:32:46.700 Look at Elon Musk.

00:32:47.740 Elon Musk now has the number one car, uh, for, uh, rated on how much of it is built in America.

00:32:58.000 Number one.

00:33:02.260 Yet he's thrown under the bus.

00:33:06.380 He, I guess, is not American enough.

00:33:08.460 We saw it during COVID-19 and we will see it again with gun regulations, the rules for

00:33:16.480 thee and not for me.

00:33:19.220 This is why Americans cannot give an inch, not one inch of our liberty away on the grounds

00:33:28.860 of the government's good faith.

00:33:30.600 They have no good faith left.

00:33:33.120 They have violated every single principle of liberty and they've done it in the name

00:33:40.540 that they know better.

00:33:42.480 Follow the science, follow the experts.

00:33:46.420 Well, they're the experts.

00:33:48.860 They're the ones who have screwed this up.

00:33:51.740 The American people have not screwed this up.

00:33:55.080 The American people are not the reason why our, our, uh, government is so corrupt other

00:34:01.460 than the fact that we continue to vote them into office.

00:34:06.900 We weren't the ones running the fed.

00:34:09.320 We're not the ones at the money printing shop at the treasury.

00:34:15.600 We're not the ones that are screaming for war.

00:34:21.720 Even if red flags were not flatly unconstitutional and a threat to all of our liberty, which they

00:34:28.360 are, they should still be resisted for the very reason that the political elite cannot

00:34:35.200 be trusted.

00:34:36.120 Our political betters continue to surround themselves with armed guards.

00:34:41.900 They continue to shield themselves from the laws that they themselves enact.

00:34:47.360 When you have the capital police colluding with the leadership because the police work for them, when you

00:34:59.240 have the secret service and the FBI colluding on crimes with our political leadership, they

00:35:07.380 cannot be trusted.

00:35:08.500 That is why they want your guns gone.

00:35:12.880 It's not anything to do with our kids.

00:35:14.820 It has nothing to do with anything.

00:35:16.980 They want, again, I go back to George Washington.

00:35:22.100 When the government fears the people, there is freedom.

00:35:28.700 When the government, when the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

00:35:34.820 The only equalizer is the gun.

00:35:40.660 What?

00:35:41.080 You can't fight the United States military.

00:35:44.200 I don't know.

00:35:45.120 I mean, we don't have any caves to hide in, but it seemed to work well in Afghanistan, didn't

00:35:49.600 it?

00:35:56.300 They're shielding these themselves from the laws that they enact themselves.

00:36:00.580 And at the same time, they're calling on us to strip each other of our rights.

00:36:06.300 They want us to do it.

00:36:08.840 Don't be fooled.

00:36:10.020 Don't be fooled.

00:36:11.600 Just as we saw during COVID-19, just as we saw with the Patriot Act that is now being horribly

00:36:19.420 abused by the people in power that swore they'd never abuse it.

00:36:24.480 Red flags are not about your safety.

00:36:28.060 Period.

00:36:30.320 They are about your submission.

00:36:34.420 Back in a minute.

00:38:44.820 You know, I think we have twisted the first responder stuff up into knots where we don't even understand it.

00:39:06.820 When our founders wrote the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, there were towns where you were required to have a gun.

00:39:15.760 If you came into town, they issued you a gun if you didn't have one because you were required to stop things that you saw.

00:39:25.900 So, in other words, if somebody was, you know, on a rampage and you had a gun and you didn't do anything about it, you could be held partially responsible.

00:39:35.320 Now, we're telling, now people believe this lie that no good guys ever involve themselves and stop things.

00:39:45.560 When you look at Uvalde and it's like the police didn't stop it, but the parents, if they would have had the guns, the parents would have.

00:39:55.500 Didn't the New York Times just do a story on this, Stu, on the number of...

00:40:00.200 Yeah, it's fascinating.

00:40:01.580 Because I think what they're trying to say is something totally different than what I take from this, but that's not a surprise.

00:40:08.560 They say there's 433 active shootings attacks that they looked at.

00:40:13.680 And of those, 249 ended before police arrived.

00:40:19.860 So, they were completely over before police arrived, which is 58%.

00:40:23.660 So, half?

00:40:25.000 Mm-hmm.

00:40:25.760 Oh, my gosh.

00:40:27.440 That should tell you, I think that's what it tells you, you should have a gun.

00:40:31.580 Yeah, you should have a gun, you should carry it with you.

00:40:33.180 Because it's over before...

00:40:34.240 Yeah!

00:40:35.580 It's over before police can even respond to it.

00:40:38.560 Yeah, you know, Uvalde is getting all this criticism, and much of it seems deserved.

00:40:42.560 But, like, regardless of how good the response is from police, you are left on your own.

00:40:48.780 You are the first responder in 58% of active shooting cases.

00:40:53.960 58%.

00:40:54.640 Wow.

00:40:54.980 That's a massive, massive story.

00:40:58.460 Wow.

00:40:58.980 And, of course, the New York Times gets it wrong.

00:41:02.900 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:04.440 Got no room to compromise.

00:41:32.420 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:41:57.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:02.520 Hello, America.

00:42:06.480 Tonight at 9 o'clock, I'm doing a Wednesday night special on Blaze TV all about what's happening

00:42:13.060 in our schools and what can be done.

00:42:15.300 I believe it's far past time that we abolish the Department of Education.

00:42:22.940 And I'm looking for people that will actually abolish some of these agencies.

00:42:28.860 You don't have to believe in the deep state.

00:42:31.700 All you have to believe in is that there's a bunch of people that go to work in Washington

00:42:36.580 every day.

00:42:37.400 They've been working there forever.

00:42:38.760 And they don't care what the election says because they're doing their thing.

00:42:44.680 And they've got well-laid plans.

00:42:47.360 And in the Department of Education, those plans, those marching orders, are all really

00:42:54.900 coordinated with the teachers' unions.

00:42:58.160 It has to be abolished.

00:42:59.760 There's an attorney general in Missouri.

00:43:04.000 His name is Eric Schmidt.

00:43:05.440 He is, I think he's fantastic.

00:43:07.760 He has been a leader in the ESG or the anti-ESG movement, trying to stop it in Missouri.

00:43:16.700 He is also strong on education and schooling.

00:43:20.500 He's currently running for the U.S. Senate.

00:43:23.380 He looks like he would be 13 points ahead of his Democratic contender if he wins.

00:43:31.920 That's really good.

00:43:33.380 The other guy is tied.

00:43:34.720 We cannot, cannot lose a seat, even to a wishy-washy Republican.

00:43:43.740 Eric is not wishy-washy.

00:43:46.320 He joins us next to talk about what's happening with the Biden administration,

00:43:50.920 taking our school lunch money and tying it to our gender policies in our schools.

00:43:58.600 You don't participate in all the gender stuff they say.

00:44:02.380 Your school doesn't get federal lunch money.

00:44:05.540 We talk to Eric about that in 60 seconds.

00:44:11.840 Real Estate Agents I Trust is a company that I started maybe eight years ago with my brother,

00:44:19.900 Robert, and I'll tell you, it is, it's a great blessing to us.

00:44:26.660 It was started as something that the two of us were frustrated with.

00:44:30.760 I had never had a good real estate agent because I didn't know how to find a good real estate agent.

00:44:36.320 You know, you just ask somebody at church or somebody you know, or, you know, somebody's like,

00:44:40.220 I got a cousin who does it part time and you don't know what to do.

00:44:44.460 So you just hire them.

00:44:45.840 I don't even know how to screen them or it didn't.

00:44:48.560 Robert was the same way.

00:44:49.740 He was having a hard time selling his house.

00:44:51.500 He was going through real estate agents.

00:44:53.600 I started working with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal,

00:44:58.980 on another project, and I got to know them.

00:45:01.660 And they all had certain traits.

00:45:03.660 They all had best practices that every one of them did.

00:45:07.980 And I realized that is what we need to look for in a real estate agent.

00:45:12.360 Those are the qualities.

00:45:13.660 So we've done that.

00:45:15.040 This is a free service to you.

00:45:16.820 We've pre-screened these real estate agents all over the country.

00:45:21.260 They don't work for us, but they do kind of answer to us if they're not doing the right thing by the clients.

00:45:28.060 And if they're not using those best practices, then we won't pass on anybody's name.

00:45:33.260 We want you to just interview them.

00:45:37.360 If you're looking for a real estate agent, whether you're buying or selling a house, you know, on the same street or across the country,

00:45:43.380 you go to realestateagentsitrust.com and get the name of the best agent in your area.

00:45:49.140 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:50.400 Welcome to Eric Schmidt.

00:45:53.180 He is currently the Missouri Attorney General and been on the program several times.

00:45:58.500 He's a friend of the program because he is not a friend of ESG.

00:46:02.780 And he has been working against not only that, but an out-of-control federal government.

00:46:09.520 Eric, welcome to the program.

00:46:10.660 How are you?

00:46:12.260 I'm great, Glenn.

00:46:13.140 It's great to be back with you.

00:46:13.980 So you wrote a letter to Joe Biden about the lunch money being held back from states and from schools

00:46:26.180 that are not participating in the gender bathrooms and everything else.

00:46:32.720 I can't imagine how this is even legal for them to do, but can you walk us through this?

00:46:38.760 Yeah, it's not legal.

00:46:40.400 And I think, you know, you, the intro here to this segment is very important to give context.

00:46:46.800 The administrative state is antithetical to this country and what it's all about.

00:46:52.080 The founders set up a system of self-government.

00:46:54.940 You could send people there and you could send them home, but they were accountable to the voters.

00:46:59.160 The deputy undersecretary of the Department of Education or the EPA is accountable to no one.

00:47:04.860 No one knows who it is, and yet that person can issue guidance letters, rules, opinions that can affect millions of Americans.

00:47:13.580 And we need to, one of the reasons I'm running for the United States Senate is we need to fundamentally dismantle the administrative state.

00:47:19.020 From top to bottom, it's grown out of control.

00:47:21.620 And this is the most recent example.

00:47:23.200 You've got the Biden administration now tying lunch money to gender identity politics.

00:47:30.460 And what does that mean?

00:47:31.460 Well, if you don't, if your state doesn't allow or prohibits men competing in women's sports, you'd be ineligible.

00:47:38.940 If you don't have, you know, these gender neutral bathrooms, you're ineligible.

00:47:45.740 So the reach is hard to fully comprehend because we really don't know what it means, but it's the most cowardly way to do it because the way you're supposed to go about affecting things in this country is the elected representatives pass a law, right?

00:47:59.520 And we all learn about the separation of powers and there are certain checks there.

00:48:03.260 Administrative agencies often issue rules that go through some scrutiny and are the basis of a lot of our legal challenges because they don't follow the rules or they're unconstitutional or it's something Congress should be doing.

00:48:14.460 Or in this instance, they just send a letter, Glenn.

00:48:18.020 They just write a letter and create this chaos and say, this is a guidance letter that says, hey, oh, by the way, you're taking this federal lunch money.

00:48:26.460 You need to do X, Y, and Z.

00:48:28.220 And so we're pushing back saying, hey, you're not allowed to do it, number one.

00:48:32.000 And number two, it's unlawful.

00:48:33.660 There's nothing in you're trying to rewrite federal law with a guidance letter.

00:48:38.420 And so we're pushing back on it because it's really an extreme agenda.

00:48:42.340 And I think they know they could never get the votes to do these sorts of things.

00:48:46.080 Or maybe they could.

00:48:46.940 I don't know.

00:48:47.400 But they haven't tried.

00:48:48.180 They're just firing up letters now.

00:48:51.580 Here's the craziest thing is they continue to do these things, which are absolutely illegal.

00:48:59.440 They're illegal and they know it, but they do it anyway.

00:49:03.680 And I think that's because there's a lot of states that will just go along with it.

00:49:08.120 And if they can get those states through this way, that's great.

00:49:11.780 But we are really, truly this what Joe Biden is doing is enacting Woodrow Wilson's greatest dream, a president who is nothing more than a chief administrator and all of the laws.

00:49:29.020 Everything else is run through his administration.

00:49:31.660 So it makes Congress really not.

00:49:35.500 This is why the gun law of the gun bill yesterday is so scary.

00:49:39.840 They didn't even they didn't even look at the bill.

00:49:42.880 They didn't have time to even read the bill.

00:49:45.240 And the devil's always in the details.

00:49:47.080 And Eric, I know you've seen Obamacare and you've read Obamacare about every every other page.

00:49:54.120 Maybe every maybe every two pages, it says the the director shall.

00:50:03.420 What was it exactly?

00:50:04.880 The director shall define these regulations.

00:50:09.900 So nobody had the regulations.

00:50:12.740 It was left up to the director of the department to just make up the laws.

00:50:19.320 Right.

00:50:19.880 And they say, well, promulgate the rules or will issue a definition standard and all these sorts of things.

00:50:26.160 And here's the thing.

00:50:27.480 It's not just the administrative state.

00:50:28.900 The article one branch, Congress deserves a lot of blame here, too, because what the founders thought was that, you know, each branch would jealously guard its power.

00:50:38.180 I mean, read the federalist papers.

00:50:39.340 That's what they're talking about.

00:50:40.320 They jealously guard their power.

00:50:41.580 But Congress does the full two step now where they say, I voted for the greatest bill in the world, but I can't believe, you know, the EPA did this.

00:50:50.300 And that's why we got to we got to take we got to put that gene back in the bottle, make Congress vote on these things, make them actually if it's a whatever, you know, if it's a you want to issue one rule, you got to pull back 10.

00:51:01.380 President Trump had a good start on this.

00:51:02.960 He had a two for one rule that that Biden got rid of.

00:51:05.520 If it's over, pick the pick the number.

00:51:07.780 If it's economic impact is over X, make Congress vote on.

00:51:10.580 I guarantee a lot of this stuff wouldn't happen.

00:51:12.280 But you need warriors that are going to go to Congress to actually fight for those things.

00:51:16.200 But you're right.

00:51:16.740 This is what they did, by the way, on the vaccine mandate.

00:51:20.180 Glenn, I think I was on your show to talk about this.

00:51:22.020 Missouri was the first state to file.

00:51:23.960 We took that all the way to Supreme Court.

00:51:25.520 They knew what they were doing.

00:51:26.820 OSHA was created to make sure forklifts beep when they back up, not to force a medical procedure on 80 million Americans.

00:51:33.900 But in the meantime, a lot of these companies, a lot of these hospitals just sort of went along with it, either because they wanted to or they were concerned about the legal ramifications.

00:51:43.780 So this is part and parcel of the strategy.

00:51:45.440 You're right.

00:51:46.020 The progressive movement, Woodrow Wilson, one of our worst, if not worst presidents of all time, sort of began this movement of the experts know better than the people, you know, which is completely antithetical to this country.

00:51:58.700 You know, you rejected.

00:51:59.600 I rejected.

00:52:00.460 But here we are now.

00:52:01.860 The American left has control of all the levers of power, and they are bulldozing people's constitutional rights.

00:52:08.920 These red flag laws are unconstitutional.

00:52:11.000 They deny due process.

00:52:12.060 And yet here we are now, even Republicans saying, well, we've got to pass the bill to see what's in it.

00:52:16.500 I mean, that's kind of like closey stuff.

00:52:18.680 So anyway, it's up to the states right now to push back, and that's why we've been so aggressive.

00:52:22.640 So, Eric, tonight I'm doing a special on the Department of Education and the labor unions, the teachers union in particular.

00:52:34.200 Those two things, at least the Department of Education has got to be abolished.

00:52:43.420 What happens statewide if the Department of Ed was abolished?

00:52:50.480 Because people will say, they're not going to get any money for our schools then.

00:52:55.840 Well, look, the fact of the matter is most of the money in education comes from states, not from the federal government.

00:53:01.640 However, there's enough that they can do things like this, right?

00:53:05.200 Tie federal lunch programs to these radical policies.

00:53:09.420 How about just get rid of the Department of Education and block grant the money of the states?

00:53:13.560 That would be one way to do it.

00:53:15.860 But also the tie here, Glenn, is you block grant the money of the states.

00:53:20.400 One tie here that's very important.

00:53:22.920 In Missouri, we have taken this issue on of the indoctrination in our schools, this woke identity politics that's making its way into our schools.

00:53:31.280 We're going after it a couple of different ways.

00:53:34.260 We issued subpoenas to a lot of these school districts in Missouri and around the country.

00:53:38.840 And these marching orders are coming from D.C.

00:53:40.840 That's why it's important to get rid of the Department of Education, because this kind of ideological rigidity that makes its way to the other states stems from the Department of Education's relationship with the teachers unions.

00:53:51.900 But here's what they're doing in Missouri, which they're doing in every other state.

00:53:55.280 You just got to have the guts to stand up to it.

00:53:57.000 We uncovered that there is a diversity, equity, inclusion consulting firms, one of which, by the way, is Panorama, Merrick Garland's son-in-law, that's doing these invasive student surveys where they ask about kids' sexuality, parents' income, parents' political beliefs.

00:54:16.500 This stuff is crazy.

00:54:17.820 At the same time we issued those subpoenas to find out more about that activity, we opened up a Students First portal where parents can send us stuff that's happening in their school district.

00:54:25.960 Here's what we found.

00:54:27.800 Teachers, administrative staff are being trained to view their classrooms under the lens of something called the oppression matrix, where you divide up students by oppressor and oppressed.

00:54:36.820 The pyramid of white supremacy, where things like colorblindness, this radical idea that you would view people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin is considered covert white supremacy.

00:54:48.700 So are terms like make America great again.

00:54:51.840 This kind of, the gender unicorn is being pushed.

00:54:55.740 And I'll tell you the other thing that we found just a couple of weeks ago, a parent sent, kids are being forced in front of their classmates to do something called the privilege walk.

00:55:05.440 I mean, this is, these are struggle sessions, Glenn, for kids with this Marxist ideology, and we've got to root it out.

00:55:15.420 We just have to be unafraid and root this out because just a visive ideology has no place in our classrooms.

00:55:21.900 We need to start getting back to math and science.

00:55:24.420 And how about civics?

00:55:25.820 Why don't we, maybe we start teaching civics again, but it's out of control and we're pushing back.

00:55:30.420 So, Eric, you're running for Senate.

00:55:34.240 Your race is close between the other guy.

00:55:38.140 The other guy does not look like he's able to win or it would be close in the election against the Democrat.

00:55:48.400 You beat the Democrat by 14 points.

00:55:52.300 A, two questions here.

00:55:54.100 A, will you stand to abolish this administrative state and abolish things like the Department of Education?

00:56:04.580 Yes.

00:56:05.260 And one of the things I've talked about that a lot of candidates don't talk about is this, we have to dismantle the administrative state.

00:56:13.040 And those are, you know, a lot of the fights that I've had as attorney general have been about that, right?

00:56:17.400 You see the abuse, you see the overreach, you take it on.

00:56:20.360 And I'm going to take that experience and that fighting spirit, the United States Senate, we need it now more than ever.

00:56:25.660 The country is on the line.

00:56:28.720 Now, the next question is, I know somebody else that could run for Senate, and I'm cautioning him.

00:56:36.300 I'm like, please, do you have a good replacement?

00:56:38.060 Because we can't lose a great AG.

00:56:41.180 We can't have you replaced as an AG by some mealy-mouthed AG.

00:56:46.840 Is there somebody to step into your role that's really good?

00:56:50.360 Yeah, there is.

00:56:51.280 There will be a long line, Glenn.

00:56:53.140 And I think one of the things I'm most proud of is AG.

00:56:55.960 We've set the template here.

00:56:57.760 You know, in Missouri, Democrats had this office for a generation.

00:57:01.180 And we've set the template for what an aggressive AG does to push back against this overreach.

00:57:06.780 And I just think all these big, important fights are going to roll through the United States Senate, Glenn.

00:57:10.820 I mean, we need reinforcements to save America.

00:57:13.280 I was proud to have Senator Mike Lee's endorsement.

00:57:15.660 We announced that yesterday.

00:57:16.820 Senator Ted Cruz.

00:57:17.900 Yeah.

00:57:18.000 We need more fighters.

00:57:19.380 We need fighters.

00:57:20.260 And the guy I'm running against is a quitter.

00:57:22.220 Quit on this state.

00:57:23.380 That's his track record.

00:57:25.100 We need somebody that's going to be unafraid, stand up to this nonsense, and fight to save America.

00:57:30.740 I know you are.

00:57:33.180 And if you have Mike Lee and Ted Cruz's endorsement, those are the two that are an absolute must-have, I think, for anybody that's going to be in the Senate.

00:57:44.220 And I so appreciate how aggressive you've been on ESG and also on the Department of Education and what's happening in our schools.

00:57:52.600 Eric Schmidt, what is your web address if somebody wants to get involved with your campaign?

00:57:55.920 Yeah, Schmidt for Senate, S-C-H-M-I-T-T-F-O-R, Senate.com.

00:58:01.480 They can follow me on all the Twitter machines and Facebooks, too.

00:58:04.740 But if they want to get involved, Schmidt for Senate's the website.

00:58:07.360 And it's a great movement we've got.

00:58:09.220 It's, again, we need conservative fighters right now.

00:58:12.360 They're going to push back.

00:58:13.400 And President Trump showed us what that meant.

00:58:15.820 And we've got to take these folks on.

00:58:17.560 Thank you very much, Eric.

00:58:19.960 I appreciate it.

00:58:21.040 Schmidt for Senate is the web address.com.

00:58:25.420 American financing NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:58:32.500 We are all in the same position.

00:58:34.200 I don't care who you are.

00:58:35.780 I don't care if you're, well, Bill Gates probably doesn't care.

00:58:39.320 Well, yeah, no, he's investing in farmland, so he does.

00:58:42.060 We're all in a position where we need to look at where we're spending our money and save more money.

00:58:50.040 You need to get ahead before it's really too late to get ahead, at least for a while.

00:58:55.680 So let me ask you, have you ever considered a cash-out refi of your mortgage?

00:59:01.020 If you haven't, call American Financing today and get the free mortgage review I've been telling you about.

00:59:06.880 I don't know what the cash-out refi is on mortgage.

00:59:12.060 But maybe it's right for you, maybe it's not.

00:59:14.920 But they have all kinds of options for you to be able to examine on ways to save more money,

00:59:22.420 especially when it comes to your high-interest credit cards.

00:59:26.120 They can help you with your closing costs that roll it into the loan,

00:59:30.740 so you don't have to spend a few thousand dollars out of pocket to refinance.

00:59:34.060 I mean it when I say that it is a lending process that focuses on your needs and your budget.

00:59:40.400 It's easy to get the process started.

00:59:42.680 Do it now.

00:59:43.300 For over 20 years, they've been doing this for people just like you and people like me.

00:59:59.820 America has had a revolution in education.

01:00:15.720 The revolution has already happened.

01:00:19.100 It happened while we were asleep at the switch.

01:00:21.580 And thank goodness for COVID-19.

01:00:23.580 It is a blessing.

01:00:24.520 It woke us up.

01:00:25.580 And now they are taking it full throttle.

01:00:28.920 I mean, they just don't care.

01:00:33.000 COVID lockdowns saved us, bought us some time.

01:00:37.620 The union-controlled public education system is putting all of our parents off to the sidelines.

01:00:44.180 During one of the debates in Virginia at the governor's race,

01:00:47.680 Terry McAuliffe said something that was unspoken for a long time.

01:00:51.380 Now they're not ashamed of it, and many progressives are saying this out loud that he said,

01:00:58.340 quote, I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach, end quote.

01:01:02.980 Well, that unleashed a tidal wave.

01:01:05.580 Tonight's show, I want to help inform and inspire you in the quest for education freedom in your town,

01:01:12.280 in your school.

01:01:13.700 Some guests that we have on tonight are working the front lines of this movement.

01:01:19.220 Also joining me is the former Secretary of Education under Trump, Betsy DeVos.

01:01:25.840 She is passionate about it.

01:01:27.660 She's been working for her whole life, really, on this.

01:01:31.360 If you think you know Betsy DeVos' story based on the media narrative from the past five years,

01:01:37.340 you have no idea what a powerhouse this woman is.

01:01:40.360 Don't miss my conversation with her and much more tonight.

01:01:44.500 Why we must abolish the Department of Education now, 9 p.m. Eastern,

01:01:50.040 only on Blaze TV and Blaze TV YouTube.

01:01:54.260 Check us out, 9 p.m. Eastern.

01:01:58.000 Holy cow.

01:01:59.420 Man, this is the first time I've had a chance to take a breath in 90 minutes.

01:02:02.860 We come back.

01:02:04.160 I promised you yesterday that I would give you a way out,

01:02:10.280 something that you can do that is a real step in fighting back.

01:02:18.560 We've already told you today, call your senators that voted for the gun bill

01:02:23.080 because there's another vote in the Senate coming in the next day or two,

01:02:27.540 and it's important that they vote no this time, but they'll only do it if you call in.

01:02:34.080 Also, abolishing the Department of Education.

01:02:38.240 I'm going to give you an action step next.

01:02:41.000 Third solution for today's program.

01:02:43.320 The gun back program.

01:02:46.080 All right.

01:02:47.620 Now, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:02:49.340 It's Rough Greens.

01:02:50.100 Rachel lives in New Jersey.

01:02:52.900 She wrote in recently about her dog.

01:02:54.740 She said, I have a 10-year-old golden doodle, Maverick.

01:03:00.560 Maverick.

01:03:01.200 Does he fly?

01:03:03.320 She said, Maverick loves Rough Greens.

01:03:05.320 I started using it a month ago with a free sample when I heard an ad on your show, Glenn.

01:03:10.300 I was unsure if he would eat it since he's usually such a picky eater.

01:03:14.480 Boy, don't I know it.

01:03:15.680 But I followed the instructions, gradually adding more and more until I got the full amount.

01:03:19.920 I cook his dinner and incorporate it in brown rice, chicken breast, or filet dinner.

01:03:24.400 Holy cow.

01:03:26.260 Wow.

01:03:26.980 He's a hoity-toity.

01:03:28.220 He loves it.

01:03:29.240 His coat is shinier, and he has a lot more pep in his step.

01:03:31.980 Thank you so much.

01:03:33.280 Rough Greens.

01:03:34.200 Not a dog food.

01:03:35.360 It is something that you sprinkle on whatever you're feeding your dog.

01:03:38.460 It's a supplement filled with all of the things that makes your dog healthier and happier.

01:03:43.740 Rough Greens.

01:03:44.420 They're so confident your dog is going to love it.

01:03:46.040 They'll send you the first bag free.

01:03:47.600 You just pay for shipping.

01:03:49.120 But feed your dog Rough Greens.

01:03:51.840 Whatever you're feeding him, just put this on top.

01:03:54.140 It has all of the things they need for a healthy life.

01:04:04.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:17.380 It's Wednesday.

01:04:18.440 Tonight, Wednesday night special all on education.

01:04:20.500 We were just talking to the Attorney General of Missouri, who is slightly behind in the polls, to another guy who's running for Senate, for the U.S. Senate.

01:04:31.980 Mike Lee and Ted Cruz just endorsed Eric Schmidt.

01:04:37.640 I will not endorse him, because it'll mean an instant loss.

01:04:43.600 But he's running against a guy.

01:04:46.340 Look, here's the problem.

01:04:48.320 The problem is, we just excuse too much from dirt balls.

01:04:53.400 And we're just like, well, no, that doesn't.

01:04:56.120 We're not electing a pope.

01:04:58.040 No, but can we get somebody who's not a dirtbag?

01:05:01.680 The guy that Schmidt is running against, this is a Republican, imprisoned his hairdresser.

01:05:09.020 Allegedly, of course.

01:05:11.500 What?

01:05:12.840 Oh, allegedly.

01:05:13.740 Allegedly.

01:05:14.220 According to the hairdresser.

01:05:15.580 But all women must be believed.

01:05:17.360 Anyway.

01:05:19.080 So, tell the audience the story, Stu, because you just wove a beautiful story.

01:05:26.120 It's been a little while, but let me give you my best retelling of this.

01:05:30.180 Okay.

01:05:30.980 Basically, Greitens was the governor of Missouri, and he wound up stepping down because of this situation.

01:05:37.020 Basically, he had a somewhat flirty relationship with his hairdresser, apparently.

01:05:43.680 While he was married.

01:05:44.900 While he was married.

01:05:46.280 And it wasn't anything that, I guess, escalated to any big level for a while.

01:05:51.620 She sort of liked him.

01:05:52.920 He was kind of flirty with her.

01:05:54.500 That's the way that she tells the story.

01:05:57.040 Then, eventually, at one point, he didn't come back to her for a haircut for like several months.

01:06:02.840 I want to say five months.

01:06:04.740 And all of a sudden, booked another appointment.

01:06:07.020 And she was, you know, was kind of, I guess, surprised by this because she hadn't heard from him in a while.

01:06:12.120 And on this particular appointment, he seemingly made a move on her, at least by her telling.

01:06:18.080 Okay.

01:06:19.180 And she did not apparently appreciate the move.

01:06:23.240 Although, she sort of seemed to like him in some way, but did not really like the move.

01:06:28.860 He eventually got in touch with her and said, hey, I'm sorry how that went down.

01:06:31.940 We should talk about this and discuss it.

01:06:34.100 And she said, okay, well, let's meet somewhere public.

01:06:37.260 He said, well, we can't meet somewhere public because, you know, there's the whole I'm running for office thing.

01:06:43.620 So, they wound up going to his house where they start some sexual encounter of some sort.

01:06:51.160 She goes downstairs with him.

01:06:53.500 He puts her in some restraints that he has, like, built in his basement or something bizarre.

01:06:58.700 She says she sees him take a picture of her nude because he, like, rips off her clothing.

01:07:06.620 She says he blackmails her with a photo.

01:07:10.000 Basically, don't tell anybody about our hookup.

01:07:12.340 All right.

01:07:12.680 And long story short, there's disagreements on what the imprisonment part of it.

01:07:20.220 But he did admit to the affair.

01:07:21.980 And this is the reason why.

01:07:23.060 One last thing here, Glenn.

01:07:24.060 This is the reason why he's up by, like, two or three points in the general election.

01:07:30.080 And Eric Schmidt is up by 13 or 14 points.

01:07:32.900 This is a huge risk by Republicans if they put this guy through.

01:07:36.540 Yeah.

01:07:37.100 Okay.

01:07:37.480 Could I just say, I don't know about the kidnapping or the, you know, imprisonment or whatever that was.

01:07:43.600 I don't know.

01:07:44.100 Can we just not elect politicians that have sexual restraints in their basement for playtime?

01:07:55.020 What do you say?

01:07:56.060 That's a bad idea.

01:07:57.540 A bad idea.

01:08:01.160 Okay.

01:08:02.240 Oh, good heavens.

01:08:03.940 What's wrong with us?

01:08:04.880 Look, you want to solve this problem.

01:08:07.160 We have to start looking for decency and honor.

01:08:12.800 Do you know how we won the American Revolution?

01:08:16.440 George Washington said once, quote, I shall make it the most agreeable part of my duty to study merit and reward the brave and deserving.

01:08:27.000 He's the guy who, the very first guy in the history of all war that issued a medal or an award to the enlisted men.

01:08:39.840 And it was the highest award you could get from George Washington.

01:08:43.620 It was called the badge of merit.

01:08:47.660 Come on, guys.

01:08:48.720 Let's go beat the Navy SEALs.

01:08:50.460 We're not going to beat the Navy SEALs.

01:08:52.560 Okay.

01:08:52.760 Imagine a group of, we go to the American Legion.

01:08:54.920 No, we go to the Trump rally and we're like, hey, I had just interpreted what he said as let's just go overthrow the United States because he might have a gun and he can pick up a flagpole and beat the Army with the flagpole.

01:09:12.260 You're not going to win.

01:09:13.480 You're not going to win.

01:09:14.820 That's the way it was with the British.

01:09:17.500 And so they knew, Washington knew, that we had to be honorable.

01:09:22.660 You had to behave with honor, self-discipline.

01:09:27.260 You had to be charitable.

01:09:29.500 He said, that's why God found favor on us.

01:09:35.940 Being an American at the time was really perilous.

01:09:39.040 They were in the midst of a miracle, but they didn't know it yet.

01:09:42.480 There was uncertainty and chaos.

01:09:45.440 It was a breeding ground of selfishness, short-sightedness, malice, greed, dishonor, turning people in, accusing people of all kinds of stuff.

01:09:55.740 Yet Washington looked at all of his soldiers and said, have none of that.

01:10:02.320 Be men of merit.

01:10:04.080 Now, as far as we know, the first military honor that was bestowed upon a common soldier was this.

01:10:13.800 And he made it available to every soldier.

01:10:16.480 And George Washington was sending a message that in America, any soldier, any person can be a noble.

01:10:23.980 See, nobles have lost their meaning because nobles were born into it.

01:10:31.560 And so I'm noble.

01:10:32.660 And so whatever I do, I'm a noble and I can get away with anything.

01:10:35.880 Hello, Hunter Biden.

01:10:39.120 In George Washington's time and now, we need people who understand what it means to be noble.

01:10:47.440 We need men.

01:10:49.280 But we also need women that are noble.

01:10:53.180 It used to be that women got it.

01:10:55.640 And men were only behaving because women got it.

01:10:59.000 Now, God help us.

01:11:03.920 America is heading down the wrong path.

01:11:06.640 And we have to be on God's side.

01:11:09.640 He will not be on our side.

01:11:13.100 We must be on his side.

01:11:14.960 When Abraham pleaded for God to spare the people of Sodom, he spoke about the virtuous remnant.

01:11:22.580 He begged God, please spare the nation.

01:11:25.100 If there's just 10 righteous people in it, we have to ensure that this nation has at least a remnant of righteous people.

01:11:34.000 So when we approach God for help, we have some standing in his court.

01:11:38.700 You might remember I gave out my own version of Washington's badge of merit almost 12 years ago.

01:11:46.560 It was around the time of the Restoring Honor rally.

01:11:50.320 I've decided we were so early on everything.

01:11:53.000 Now is the time.

01:11:54.520 Now is the time.

01:11:56.440 I know our nation is still filled with people of virtue.

01:11:59.260 I know there are people on all sides of the aisle that are trying to do the right thing, that don't want to condemn everyone who disagrees with them, who knows the difference still between right and wrong and decency, common decency.

01:12:17.200 They are the people, God willing, who will save this nation.

01:12:21.040 And I want to lift those people up as a model, because we need one of the first things the left did was destroy all of our heroes.

01:12:29.860 So we have no heroes.

01:12:31.840 I mean, did you see what did you see on Juneteenth?

01:12:35.300 What what was it?

01:12:36.520 Was it St. Louis that?

01:12:38.160 No, it was New Orleans.

01:12:39.360 That instead of a statue of a great African-American, they put a hair pic in front of City Hall.

01:12:47.840 They don't want you to have any role models.

01:12:57.600 I want all of us to get into the habit of recognizing people of merit in our own community, just like George Washington did.

01:13:05.000 So I want to start something new.

01:13:08.100 I would like you to nominate community members for this award.

01:13:12.700 I we've set up a system for you to write to us and nominate anyone who you think have behaved with virtue, kindness, merit and integrity in the hardest of situations.

01:13:26.500 Somebody that will just stand and take the beating, but they will not sit down.

01:13:31.220 Somebody that has gone way out of their way to help and be God and be kind and generous and charitable.

01:13:42.380 The award is open to anyone.

01:13:46.700 Man in Phoenix just the other day owns a gas station, decided to sell his gas for 47 cents cheaper than he buys it.

01:13:53.940 And he did it just to help his community said, my mom and dad taught me to help.

01:13:58.760 If you have something, if you have something you can share with other people, well, God gave me help.

01:14:05.340 We're not here to make money right now.

01:14:08.120 I'm very happy just helping other people.

01:14:10.880 That's a man of merit.

01:14:12.580 That's a man who gets it.

01:14:15.840 It doesn't have to be a public act.

01:14:17.720 I'd like to honor parents that are raising their children to know the truth.

01:14:24.320 Who are standing up in their school board meetings.

01:14:27.080 I'd like to celebrate the business owner who refuses to kneel at the feet of wokeness.

01:14:32.240 I'd like to recognize a teacher who will stand against their own teacher's union.

01:14:39.720 I'd like to recognize the neighbor who checks in on the elderly woman next door from time to time.

01:14:45.040 I'm looking for pastors that will stand up even though they know they'll lose people in their congregation, but they have to say it because we're so far off the path.

01:14:57.460 Anyone who's living with hope and acting in love and serving their fellow man.

01:15:03.380 Nominate them for a badge of merit.

01:15:07.340 Send an email to merit at glennbeck.com.

01:15:11.380 And here's what you need to include your name and contact information.

01:15:15.040 Your nominee's name and contact information and the story of your nominee's active merit.

01:15:20.440 I really would prefer that you didn't tell them in advance, but nominate them because we need to hear their stories.

01:15:28.860 I'd like you to do it maybe in 300 words or less, really, because the staff, their eyes are about to fall out as it is.

01:15:37.020 So if you could do it 250, 300 words, that would be great.

01:15:41.200 And from your nominations, I'll be selecting outstanding citizens to be recognized on the air and receive our badge of merit.

01:15:50.600 Nominate someone in your community for a badge of merit now.

01:15:53.040 Email merit at glennbeck.com.

01:15:55.780 All the directions and everything you need to know is also up at glennbeck.com, my website.

01:16:01.380 But do that today.

01:16:02.920 This is, yeah, this is the one thing I told you a minute ago that I was going to suggest that could help save our country.

01:16:11.660 I know there's a lot of people who are like, oh, geez, that's not going to work.

01:16:14.420 Do you know how many people said that to George Washington?

01:16:17.820 They had zero chance of winning.

01:16:20.960 Zero.

01:16:21.700 None.

01:16:23.300 Strongest army.

01:16:24.540 Biggest military.

01:16:25.860 Most powerful.

01:16:27.400 The sun never set on the British Empire.

01:16:32.000 And a group of farmers were going to take them on.

01:16:36.160 There was no chance of winning.

01:16:39.800 Zero.

01:16:40.360 Zero.

01:16:44.420 But George Washington knew before even training.

01:16:51.200 He needed his soldiers to be people of merit.

01:16:56.020 Nominate them now.

01:16:57.600 Merit at glennbeck.com.

01:17:01.480 Here's something we can do to find favor, I think.

01:17:05.620 You know, we this audience really truly believes in the protection of all life, of all life.

01:17:14.420 Every 34 seconds in the United States, the freest and best country in the world, a child who's supposed to be born in this world is aborted.

01:17:23.760 If we are killing God's children before they even have a chance to live and be outside of the womb, how could he possibly look on us with favor?

01:17:34.740 However, it's not possible.

01:17:37.740 I've teamed up with the Ministry of Preborn, and they are empowering young expectant mothers in crisis to choose life.

01:17:45.340 And it is not just, hey, make sure you have the baby, and then they, you know, disappear.

01:17:50.240 These people actually care, and they are with the moms.

01:17:55.440 They are with the babies.

01:17:57.740 The way they do it, they have such a success rate.

01:18:01.160 They beat all of the odds.

01:18:03.080 What they do is they provide an ultrasound, and when the expectant mom who comes in and is thinking about an abortion sees and hears her baby on ultrasound, 80% chance she changes her mind, 80%.

01:18:17.940 So how many babies could we save as an audience?

01:18:22.180 Look at what we've done already.

01:18:24.280 Look at what we've done.

01:18:25.740 Look at the number of people this audience has saved, literally saved, just in Afghanistan and now in Ukraine.

01:18:34.020 How many babies can we save?

01:18:37.360 For $28, you can sponsor one ultrasound.

01:18:41.500 For $140, you can help rescue five babies.

01:18:45.080 I think we can rescue at least 50,000 babies this year, at least, if we choose to.

01:18:52.740 Donate, dial 250, pound 250, and say the keyword baby.

01:18:57.260 That's pound 250, keyword baby.

01:19:14.400 What could be more honorable than saving a child's life?

01:19:18.860 Preborn.com slash beck.

01:19:21.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:41.800 There is somebody who shockingly has never been on this program, and apparently she was scheduled to be on this program the day that Robin Williams died, and we had to cancel, and for some reason never came back, and I don't know why.

01:19:58.620 Her name is Lily Tang Williams.

01:20:00.440 She is running for the U.S. House, but she has an awful lot to say about what is going on with the Great Reset because she's seen it before.

01:20:14.540 She actually grew up in China, and she was there with Mao's Cultural Revolution, and she knows what she's talking about.

01:20:29.340 When she looks at what's happening in America, and she says, this is communism, this is Mao, she speaks with authority.

01:20:39.420 So we're going to talk to her here in just a second about ESG and the comparison between China's social credit system and ESG,

01:20:50.500 and all of the things that are happening today, and how she experienced the exact same things when she lived in China.

01:20:59.960 She is coming up next.

01:21:01.640 Her name is Lily Tang Williams.

01:21:03.880 You don't want to miss it.

01:21:20.500 Got no room to compromise

01:21:33.800 We've got to stand together if we're going to survive

01:21:39.700 Stand up straight and hold the line

01:21:45.300 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:21:59.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:06.140 Hello America.

01:22:07.420 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:08.960 So there's a few things that we really have to decide what we're for.

01:22:13.260 Not just what we're against, but what we're for.

01:22:16.140 I'm for the free market.

01:22:18.300 I am for a market that is unfettered by corruption in our own government.

01:22:26.340 I'm so sick and tired of the big players getting all of the favors.

01:22:29.800 I would bet my country easily on the American people any day of the week.

01:22:39.040 And that's knowing what the American people are kind of like.

01:22:41.860 Have you been outside lately?

01:22:44.360 But I would bet on them every single time over these experts in Washington.

01:22:51.160 But the experts have learned how to game the system,

01:22:54.640 and one of the ways to game it is with ESG.

01:22:57.940 There is a woman that's running for the U.S. House,

01:23:01.540 and she's running up in New Hampshire.

01:23:03.620 Her name is Lily Tang Williams.

01:23:05.920 She knows what ESG is because she's seen it.

01:23:11.360 She was born in China just before the reign of terror with Mao.

01:23:15.900 And she was indoctrinated and believed all of it

01:23:19.880 until somebody handed her a declaration of independence.

01:23:24.280 So what does all of this mean to her?

01:23:27.940 We talk to her in 60 seconds.

01:23:31.240 Stand by.

01:23:35.540 Okay, we're going to talk about indoctrination,

01:23:37.460 how powerful indoctrination is.

01:23:39.900 Lily will tell you she believed that Mao was a god

01:23:42.560 because that's what she was taught in school.

01:23:46.100 That's remarkable.

01:23:47.140 Well, she wasn't alone.

01:23:52.140 That's what happened in Germany.

01:23:54.460 Germany, they did the same thing.

01:23:56.560 Hitler was a god.

01:23:57.660 Took our churches, not kidding you,

01:24:00.320 six months in Germany before they took the statue

01:24:03.120 or the picture of Christ off of the mantle of the altar

01:24:07.700 and replaced it with Hitler.

01:24:10.740 Six months.

01:24:12.160 So we need to teach our children the truth.

01:24:16.680 We need to seek the truth

01:24:18.100 and we need to teach our children how to seek the truth

01:24:20.620 and how to find it.

01:24:22.080 May I suggest the Tuttle Twins books.

01:24:24.680 They are such a great start for your kids.

01:24:28.160 My staff loves them.

01:24:29.800 I love them.

01:24:30.740 My kids love them.

01:24:31.760 The books teach amazing lessons about how this country was founded,

01:24:36.300 its guiding principles, the free market system,

01:24:39.100 the necessity for small government.

01:24:41.320 I can't recommend these books highly enough.

01:24:44.520 It's Tuttle Twins.

01:24:45.680 They're having a great sale right now.

01:24:47.200 35% discount off their books.

01:24:49.100 Plus, they're giving away the activity workbooks at no additional cost.

01:24:53.440 It's a huge discount off the normal price.

01:24:56.080 I can't tell you how many homeschoolers I know that I really respect.

01:24:59.480 I mean, the kids, they have read all of these books and it shows.

01:25:06.480 TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

01:25:08.540 TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

01:25:10.140 Go there now.

01:25:12.600 Lily Tang Williams.

01:25:15.120 I believe we talked long ago, Lily.

01:25:18.880 And then I know you were supposed to be on our TV show on the day that

01:25:22.840 Robin Williams passed away.

01:25:25.600 And somehow or another, we just lost track of each other.

01:25:28.580 Welcome to the program.

01:25:30.280 How are you?

01:25:31.860 I'm doing great.

01:25:33.320 And I remember 2014 that I was looking forward to get on your TV show with Bob Fool.

01:25:39.640 Yeah.

01:25:40.020 But it's okay.

01:25:40.840 You fund me now.

01:25:43.200 Okay.

01:25:43.800 Yeah.

01:25:44.140 And you're running for the U.S. House up in New Hampshire.

01:25:49.980 And if anybody wants to follow her, her Twitter is Lily4, the number four, Liberty.

01:25:56.300 And I want to talk to you about that.

01:25:59.400 But I'd like to start at the beginning.

01:26:00.800 And, Lily, this might take a couple of episodes.

01:26:03.560 I don't know if you have time tomorrow, but I might ask you to come back tomorrow.

01:26:07.200 Because I think your backstory is so important.

01:26:10.440 And I've only got about 25 minutes with you today.

01:26:13.320 So, but let's explore and see what happens.

01:26:18.680 Before we get into ESG, which you're fighting against and have a lot to say about, could you

01:26:24.220 just please go through, you were born in China, you were born in a poor working family, and

01:26:31.420 it was right before the Cultural Revolution, right?

01:26:35.520 Correct.

01:26:36.000 Yes, two years before Mao, the Great Politeering Cultural Revolution.

01:26:43.400 Okay.

01:26:44.160 So, I believe we are in a cultural revolution right now, not far off from Mao.

01:26:51.120 Less violence, obviously.

01:26:52.960 But we are, you know, he made you stand in the open square and confess and denounce your

01:26:58.860 parents and everything else.

01:27:00.000 And we are so close to that.

01:27:02.300 Would you agree or disagree with that?

01:27:03.800 Well, I have been speaking up, calling my two cultural revolutions.

01:27:11.960 One, I survived under Mao.

01:27:15.200 I was born in China and went through his 10 years' social political chaos and indoctrination.

01:27:24.800 And when he died, I was only 12 years old.

01:27:29.200 The whole time, I did not challenge anything.

01:27:32.280 I accepted everything I was told.

01:27:35.680 And I accepted five black classes, which is under, you know, oppressors group.

01:27:43.920 And the five red classes, which is under oppressed group.

01:27:49.100 We were lucky, I guess, to be red class.

01:27:53.520 So, therefore, I could join Mao's Young Pioneer, Red Guard, and communist youth members, all for students.

01:28:01.880 I was chanting, long live to my mom, long live a communist party in my schools every day.

01:28:08.280 And politics was in your face, in your life.

01:28:12.680 Like 24 hours a day.

01:28:14.980 You could not have downtime.

01:28:17.020 You could not talk about anything non-political.

01:28:20.080 So, I thought I was doing the right thing by calling out black class families, by eliminating them.

01:28:30.540 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:28:32.060 Tell me what a black class family would have been.

01:28:34.980 You were working class and poor.

01:28:37.480 What's a black class family?

01:28:39.320 Well, it's a typical, of course, Marxist, also, communist term is oppressor versus oppressed.

01:28:49.940 But Mao went even further.

01:28:52.400 He divided all Chinese citizens, because all Chinese will have the same skin color and race.

01:28:57.960 But he used economical class and political class to put five black classes, which is called, for example, rightist, bad influencers, landowners, county revolutionaries, and potentially, basically, capitalist, rich people, all under black classes.

01:29:20.600 But some are very subjective.

01:29:22.220 Like, how do you define bad influence, rightist, and county revolutionaries?

01:29:26.740 Correct.

01:29:27.300 On the other side, five red classes, it's based on your economic status.

01:29:33.620 Like, I was red because my parents were illiterate workers class, and the peasants, and also the revolutionary heroes and soldiers and all communists, party members, and cadres.

01:29:46.580 They were the red classes.

01:29:48.680 So, we were fighting against each other tooth and nail.

01:29:52.680 My memory started as a child.

01:29:55.400 The black class family would go to public square to lower their head, to apologize, to be public shamed, and to throw rocks at, and by red guards.

01:30:08.900 Red guards were shutting down schools by Mao and told the red guards to go unleash your political activism against all black families.

01:30:19.180 So, that's what I saw when I was a little girl at the height of the cultural revolution, about 67, 68, that you saw those very scary public square struggle sessions.

01:30:32.060 You know, people started to discover them.

01:30:34.260 Now, in America, it's called a struggle session.

01:30:36.000 And so, we have now, if I understand this right, you were encouraged to take some of these things on yourself, not just in the public square.

01:30:48.980 But you were encouraged to shun, ban, or whatever black class families on your own?

01:30:57.060 Well, we were in doctorate in school like that.

01:30:59.960 Also, everything in our community, we lived in a family, like basically community housing, you know, provided by my dad's factory.

01:31:09.240 And 6.30 every morning, there was loudspeaker come on, because we were next to the school, to tell us, get up and go to work and go to school.

01:31:19.180 Long live it to my mom, eliminate black class families.

01:31:22.940 And it's just, it's in your face every day.

01:31:25.780 It's like an action.

01:31:26.720 When I think about it, when I wake up, it was like a concentration camp.

01:31:30.740 Every day, you have loudspeakers come on.

01:31:32.780 You cannot sleep in.

01:31:34.060 You cannot be late.

01:31:35.320 And you have to chant slogans.

01:31:36.900 Then you go to school for the first 15 minutes.

01:31:40.500 We sing the red song.

01:31:42.120 We hold the little mouse, read books.

01:31:44.460 And the way we'll do some little bit even dancing moves.

01:31:47.740 Then we start to sit down to study Chinese and math.

01:31:51.440 It was long stuff.

01:31:52.440 And you, wow.

01:31:55.160 And you, I've got to ask this question.

01:31:58.920 Let me just change this real quick.

01:32:00.640 Did math include indoctrination as well, or was it just straight math?

01:32:04.960 Back then, it was a simple, straight math.

01:32:09.600 Traditionally, Chinese value math and science and technology.

01:32:14.560 But during Mao's cultural revolution, though, he canceled schools.

01:32:18.920 He closed down all schools.

01:32:20.600 He canceled the individual meritocracy and the academic excellence and the scientists.

01:32:26.660 Correct.

01:32:26.840 So somebody took college exam, for example, right after, like, Mao's, he turned in a blank paper.

01:32:35.400 Like, I'm not going to do this test.

01:32:37.400 It's like, test is not politically correct.

01:32:39.740 I'm a worker.

01:32:40.620 I don't need a test.

01:32:41.940 So he turned in a blank page and get a zero for his math.

01:32:47.000 And he become a hero.

01:32:49.140 He was like in New Zealand.

01:32:51.120 Look, he's a pure workers class.

01:32:53.700 We don't need a test.

01:32:54.680 We don't need an academic excellence.

01:32:57.000 So why bother all the Chinese culture, which is a value excellence in academics?

01:33:06.680 How similar.

01:33:08.240 I mean, do you ever just kind of break out in a cold sweat when you see what's happening now in your new country of America and just go, guys, what is wrong with you?

01:33:16.640 Can't you see what's coming?

01:33:17.600 Well, I was speaking around the country for five years as a speaker for victim of communism and moral foundation.

01:33:27.160 For five years, I noticed our school kids do not know the real history.

01:33:31.700 Their eyes were huge.

01:33:33.160 When I tell them my personal stories and the teachers even don't know.

01:33:36.900 So I wonder what they learn in teachers college.

01:33:39.580 But the last two years, to be honest with you, I'm terrified, Glenn.

01:33:42.740 I couldn't sleep.

01:33:44.460 I woke up at night to think about my past, my childhood.

01:33:48.620 It's like, what's going on in my new country?

01:33:51.320 This looks so similar.

01:33:53.820 Similar terms, tactics, and identity politics.

01:33:58.920 Then toppling down statues and burning down buildings and the looting and the violence, the mob, dominated the streets, and canceled culture, silence all dissident voices.

01:34:09.860 I was terrified, Glenn.

01:34:11.580 That's why I'm running now.

01:34:12.900 I'm running for Congress.

01:34:14.260 Yeah.

01:34:16.260 You're running for Congress, and you're running in New Hampshire, lilytangwilliams.com.

01:34:23.180 You can follow her on Twitter at lilyforliberty.

01:34:26.600 Lily, let's go to ESG.

01:34:32.580 When you look at ESG, what do you see?

01:34:36.780 It's similar to Communist Party in China's social credit system.

01:34:45.700 The social credit system right now is basically on every Chinese citizen's cell phone.

01:34:51.560 So they use American financial FICA score system and kind of invented it as a social credit score where everybody starts at like a certain point.

01:35:05.340 Then you get a plus minus point for your speeches, behaviors, and your financial, of course, but also most likely social media posts.

01:35:18.060 And your health code is on your phone for COVID tracking, vaccine passport.

01:35:24.260 If you go out with your cell phone to buy groceries, you'll have a green code on your cell phone.

01:35:30.880 That means you are safe.

01:35:32.880 You are negative.

01:35:34.040 By the time you come back to your community, you'll feel fine, but your code turns orange.

01:35:39.180 They will not allow you to go home.

01:35:41.020 They will force you to go quarantine because you were exposed to potential COVID when you were outside.

01:35:46.560 Oh, my gosh.

01:35:47.940 There are some people who are not allowed to go home.

01:35:50.620 And my friends, in the past 10 weeks, retired lawyers in China, Shanghai, were locked down in their homes and no food.

01:36:00.240 Because everybody is trying to fight for a little bit of food for online purchases on their app.

01:36:05.320 But mostly they are relying on government, deliver food, centralized planning to deliver food to 25 million people in Shanghai.

01:36:15.360 How could that be, you know, workable, effective?

01:36:20.060 People are starving.

01:36:21.100 People are committing suicide.

01:36:22.360 My parents were depressed.

01:36:23.680 They even told me on the WeChat app to say, wonder why Americans hold on to their Second Amendment.

01:36:32.060 Because they wish they had some because their fair cases were barbed wired by electricity.

01:36:37.660 They could not get out of their buildings.

01:36:40.100 It's concentration camp.

01:36:42.380 I know that I read a story about one woman who went out shopping.

01:36:49.420 She got the orange code on her phone.

01:36:51.180 She wasn't allowed to go get her baby who was breastfeeding.

01:36:56.700 And somebody else was in the house that was also dependent on her.

01:37:01.860 And they wouldn't let her go back.

01:37:04.100 And God only knows what happened to the child.

01:37:07.720 Well, I have a lot of first, you know, like first-handed materials from a Chinese app, WeChat, which is, of course, censored.

01:37:16.520 So I couldn't say anything, but I'm going to put on my YouTube, Lily Tang Williams, to show people we shall never forget what happened in Shanghai, which is the most wealthy international city in China.

01:37:28.420 We only know about Shanghai because there are international.

01:37:31.680 Lots of foreigners live there, and they have some kind of internet access.

01:37:35.760 Imagine 370 million people were under lockdown.

01:37:39.460 The West would not know about them, and like all over China, like 40-something cities.

01:37:45.020 And at the same time, China, you know, infiltrating the West and telling our students how wonderful they are.

01:37:52.900 And they pay money to influence our university through Confucius Institute since Obama for 18 years.

01:38:00.880 They might be still going on, but under different names.

01:38:03.520 So back to the social credit system, this ESG basically uses some kind of international rating scoring on private companies, on our states, on public-traded companies.

01:38:19.480 Give them this environmental social governance score.

01:38:24.440 It's very political.

01:38:26.540 It's based on climate change rhetoric.

01:38:29.480 You have to be PC.

01:38:30.540 You have to buy into all those rhetorics.

01:38:32.780 Otherwise, you are not politically correct, and you will get less score.

01:38:37.340 You get less capital investment.

01:38:39.560 It's using this kind of politics to control our states, our municipalities, our companies.

01:38:46.720 Where is America going?

01:38:48.300 Going after China, a model to track people?

01:38:52.420 Lily, hang on the phone just a second.

01:38:55.060 I've got to take a quick break.

01:38:56.180 Can you imagine her in Congress?

01:38:58.480 I would love.

01:39:00.160 People would just be like, oh, no, no, no.

01:39:01.660 Don't send her in.

01:39:02.220 Don't, no, no, no.

01:39:02.920 Don't send her in.

01:39:04.120 She's just a spitfire.

01:39:06.540 All right.

01:39:07.140 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:39:09.020 It is Goldline.

01:39:10.160 I played you the clip of Janet Yellen walking back her initial proclamations about the state

01:39:15.200 of inflation in the country.

01:39:18.800 Today, we played the audio of the world's greatest White House spokesperson saying that,

01:39:27.440 you know, Biden has really prepared the country for inflation.

01:39:30.360 And then she immediately went, but we don't have inflation or a recession.

01:39:34.680 We don't we don't have a recession.

01:39:36.120 We're in a transition now.

01:39:38.660 Yeah.

01:39:39.160 Transition to what?

01:39:41.680 A recession.

01:39:42.920 Anyway, Goldline right now.

01:39:45.560 You're not going to believe me.

01:39:48.440 Believe me.

01:39:48.940 Look at the price of gold.

01:39:51.240 Look at the price of Bitcoin.

01:39:52.380 Look at the the inflation on your dollar and how your dollar is becoming worth less and

01:39:57.460 less and less.

01:39:58.080 Look at what's happening at the stock market.

01:39:59.580 I'm telling you right now, the only thing I really haven't lost any money on is gold and

01:40:05.160 silver.

01:40:06.480 It is a hedge against inflation.

01:40:09.640 Now, it is behaving differently.

01:40:11.740 It should be probably about four thousand dollars an ounce right now, but it's behaving

01:40:16.060 differently.

01:40:16.660 And I think that's because of many reasons, much of which the government.

01:40:20.880 But if you want to keep your money and I mean, keep it not have it just go to zero,

01:40:28.360 please put some of your money into gold and silver.

01:40:32.080 Goldline has a special this week.

01:40:58.360 Lily, I unfortunately I have to run.

01:41:07.920 We have another guest coming up in just a second, but I'd like to have you back and

01:41:12.500 tell us some more about I'd really like you to explain the dangers of making everything

01:41:20.260 political.

01:41:20.920 I don't think people understand this is a communist and a Maoist tool.

01:41:29.360 Everything is about politics now.

01:41:32.140 And you've seen that firsthand.

01:41:35.600 Right.

01:41:36.300 It's very dangerous to our constitutional republic.

01:41:40.860 And I came here.

01:41:42.020 I thought, hey, constitutional rights are going to protect me.

01:41:45.920 I was not political.

01:41:46.920 It took me 20 years to get rid of my indoctrination in my new country.

01:41:51.680 But once I woke up, I just cannot believe the tactics, the terms, all the strategies and

01:41:58.840 the political stuff they're using.

01:42:01.060 I just cannot recognize my new country.

01:42:03.380 I feel it's my duty to come out, to call them out and to warn our American citizens.

01:42:08.820 We don't want to go down that path.

01:42:10.500 It's very essential the way we're being enslaved.

01:43:58.480 Tonight, back-to-back Studios America.

01:44:00.560 Glenn TV.

01:44:01.360 Don't miss it.

01:44:01.900 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

01:44:03.600 The promo code is Glenn.

01:44:13.940 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:44:16.240 Tonight at 9 o'clock, we're going to be talking about the fact that the Department of Education needs to be abolished.

01:44:25.160 And, boy, I would like to hear more people start talking about that.

01:44:29.740 Abolish the Department of Education.

01:44:32.800 It is a must in the next session of Congress or the next president.

01:44:39.980 And we have Ryan Walters, who's going to join us here in a minute.

01:44:43.100 He is the Oklahoma Secretary of Education.

01:44:45.220 He's ruthless on what's going on in the schools.

01:44:49.340 We've talked to him before.

01:44:50.900 He is fantastic.

01:44:52.940 We're going to talk to him about the reality of that.

01:44:55.140 What it would look like if you actually abolish that.

01:44:58.040 That's coming up in a minute.

01:44:59.660 Also, Stu, we just got a report from the Supreme Court that it looks like they are going to add Friday this week.

01:45:09.120 So, it'll be Thursday and Friday they're going to be handing out decisions.

01:45:12.560 There's only 13 left.

01:45:15.040 So, if they did six on one day and seven the next, that would finish up the – that would give all of them.

01:45:22.040 And they've been doing about five per release, have they not?

01:45:25.860 Yeah, you covered it pretty well there, Glenn.

01:45:27.180 I mean, they've been doing about five.

01:45:28.900 You'd think, in theory, they've been doing this lately where they end the session on a Friday with the final decisions.

01:45:36.220 This would give them a chance to get out before all the fires start burning, which is nice.

01:45:41.480 And this would potentially give you the – certainly the speculation is that we will get the abortion case on Friday.

01:45:49.460 Now, that's not guaranteed.

01:45:50.540 They'd still have another week where they would be kind of within the normal window to release this stuff.

01:45:55.920 So, it could go into next week very easily.

01:45:59.000 But that's the speculation as of right now.

01:46:03.160 So, you can look at it two ways.

01:46:06.220 You know, it's a week before 4th of July.

01:46:09.400 So, you know, on the 4th of July weekend, we don't have maybe as many fires as we did on the night or the weekend of the ruling, if they release it Friday.

01:46:21.600 But I hope they just get it out.

01:46:24.740 Just release it.

01:46:26.060 And, you know, I would say on Friday, the old Glenn and the old Stu would probably have somebody on from the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security to talk about what they are watching and preparing for these riots that have been announced in advance.

01:46:44.800 I mean, literal riots, burning down of buildings.

01:46:48.980 But I doubt that the FBI or the Department of – are going to do anything about it, at least in advance.

01:46:57.480 So, join us tomorrow and Friday.

01:47:00.580 It'll happen live on the program.

01:47:02.820 And you don't want to miss it.

01:47:05.180 Ryan Walters is with us again.

01:47:06.780 He's the Oklahoma Secretary of Education.

01:47:09.520 And he's just great.

01:47:11.420 He's been on the program before.

01:47:13.160 He's just – he's common sense and takes care of business.

01:47:17.340 Welcome to the program, Ryan.

01:47:18.560 How are you?

01:47:20.000 I'm doing great, Glenn, and I appreciate your emphasis on – you want to talk about common sense?

01:47:25.300 We don't need the feds involved in our education system at the state level in any way, shape, or form.

01:47:30.920 So, I sure appreciate you shining a light on that.

01:47:34.500 This is the perfect time to have this conversation.

01:47:37.760 We have parents across the country.

01:47:39.900 Parents in Oklahoma are fired up, and they are tired of seeing what's coming from this Biden administration when it comes to our schools.

01:47:45.380 So, it's the Department of Education, but it is also the teachers' unions.

01:47:51.600 I mean, they're working hand-in-hand, are they not?

01:47:55.320 Oh, they absolutely are, Glenn.

01:47:57.540 I mean, you see the national teachers' unions were supportive of keeping our schools closed.

01:48:02.420 They were supportive of pushing critical race theory, transgender education in our schools.

01:48:07.200 And they fight against school choice.

01:48:08.620 I'll tell you, Glenn, you know, I'm in an election cycle right now.

01:48:10.980 I've had over $600,000 coming to the state against me from the national teachers' union.

01:48:15.380 Because I'm standing up and saying kids should be in schools.

01:48:18.360 Parents should be in charge of their kids' education.

01:48:20.440 But you see a complete alignment between the national teachers' union and the Biden administration, the Democrat Party,

01:48:26.160 to attack Republicans that have been putting parents in the driver's seat of their kids' education.

01:48:30.260 And it's just going to continue until we fight back.

01:48:32.760 I mean, I'm doing a special tonight at 9 o'clock on Blaze TV on this.

01:48:40.440 And, you know, just looking at the stats on how far we have fallen, especially since the 1970s and the Department of Education.

01:48:50.940 But in 1970, we started hiring 9 to 1.

01:48:57.400 We had more people in the administration of our schools, by far, than children.

01:49:03.880 9 to 1.

01:49:05.240 That's crazy.

01:49:06.420 It's incredible, Glenn.

01:49:09.640 And what we see is as the feds continue to push dictates down to states, what states do is they build a bureaucracy around these requirements, around this federal money.

01:49:22.020 And as time goes on, instead of seeing our money, our taxpayer dollars getting to the classroom, getting to parents, getting to our kids' education,

01:49:30.280 they are building this layer of bureaucracy.

01:49:32.320 And then when you dig deeper into the things the bureaucracy is pushing, it's stuff that's so out of line with American values.

01:49:38.840 I mean, it's the anti-American rhetoric that, you know, President Trump did a great job a couple weeks ago talking about.

01:49:45.580 Look, they're teaching kids to hate this country.

01:49:48.460 That is what we're seeing from the push from the feds in our education system.

01:49:52.860 So we have to continue to take that back.

01:49:54.860 This is a state's issue.

01:49:56.520 And more importantly, we need to be driving everything to the parent level.

01:50:00.520 The parents should be in charge of their kids' education.

01:50:02.720 We need to get as much as we can in the parents' power to control their kids' education.

01:50:08.680 So people will argue that then all these schools will collapse and all the poor states will have horrible schools, et cetera, et cetera.

01:50:16.280 Tell me the reality of the Department of Education going away.

01:50:22.340 All right.

01:50:22.800 Yeah, let's talk through kind of logistically how that would work.

01:50:25.660 And what I want to see is Oklahoma, we are going to continue to wean ourselves away from the federal government.

01:50:31.340 The governor and I here, we called for a forensic, full forensic audit of the State Department of Education.

01:50:36.160 It had never happened before in our state.

01:50:38.020 And what we're going to do, Glenn, is we're going to look at every dollar, what it's spent on, what the program is, who the personnel is,

01:50:43.780 and show this to Oklahomans and say, guys, we are going to continue to these federal dollars come with strings that attach us to curriculum that aren't in line with our values, number one.

01:50:52.900 And number two, they come with the stipulations that you have to hire all the staff to administer these programs.

01:50:59.000 And so what we're going to start doing is peeling that back.

01:51:00.920 And as we start peeling that back, that's more money that we can be using in the classroom instead of using state resources to stand up federal programming.

01:51:11.140 Use that money to get it to families, to get it to kids.

01:51:14.000 And absolutely not.

01:51:15.060 The thing that red states have, okay, when we talk about getting money to parents and supporting school choice and empowering families,

01:51:22.980 is in our red states, our families believe that that core family unit is key to raising children.

01:51:30.380 And, Glenn, I can't emphasize this enough.

01:51:32.520 When we start driving the conversation to how do we empower families with choices, with options,

01:51:39.700 and, Glenn, I mean choosing your school, but I also mean choosing your education inside that school.

01:51:44.500 You know, one of my frustrations is, you know, when the Elstafeds do, they emphasize that college is the only path for kids.

01:51:50.320 It's absolutely not the only path for kids.

01:51:52.300 I'm a public school teacher in my background.

01:51:55.180 One of my most successful kids went on to be a welder.

01:51:57.640 He's having a tremendous life and zero college debt, loves what he's doing.

01:52:01.300 But this is the influence of the federal government.

01:52:03.420 And what we're going to see in red states is the core family unit.

01:52:07.240 The more they're engaged in their kids' education, the more transparent our education system is, the more they're empowered,

01:52:12.860 the more we'll see mom, dad's, grandma's, grandpa's sitting at their dining room table with their kids,

01:52:17.860 talking about their school, talking about their education.

01:52:20.560 That is how we get our education system back on track.

01:52:23.520 So, Ryan, you're currently the Oklahoma Secretary of Education, but you're running for Oklahoma State Superintendent.

01:52:33.620 Isn't that a lower position?

01:52:35.460 And if so, why would you do that?

01:52:38.020 So, we're in an interesting state.

01:52:40.020 We're one of 12 states that elect who runs the department.

01:52:43.220 And so, right now, I am the Secretary of Education.

01:52:45.640 So, I'm the governor's top education advisor.

01:52:47.500 So, what we do is we've been pushing school choice through the legislature.

01:52:51.080 We've banned critical race theory.

01:52:52.880 We're continuing to find, by the way, they call it other things, Glenn.

01:52:55.340 I know you've done a great job of highlighting this, but you see diversity, equity, inclusion.

01:52:59.120 You see social, emotional learning.

01:53:00.800 You see this continue to shift the ball of what we're going to call it, this and that.

01:53:05.080 And so, we've done a great job of that.

01:53:06.400 But here in our state, that department is run by an elected official.

01:53:10.140 And right now, I know this is shocking to your audience.

01:53:13.200 Our Department of Education is being run by a Democrat.

01:53:16.480 And what we've seen every step of the way, Glenn, is we ban something.

01:53:19.540 Guess what?

01:53:20.440 She doesn't care to enforce it.

01:53:22.260 She has stood in the way of school choice programs.

01:53:25.100 She has continued to push families out of their kids' education by not providing transparency

01:53:30.100 for families in their schools.

01:53:31.440 So, we have to have a conservative running the Department of Education here in the state

01:53:35.540 to make it responsive to parents so that we can have the best education for our kids.

01:53:39.960 And so, it is just dire that we get a true conservative in that position that will take a look at every

01:53:45.620 dollar spent in that agency and make sure it's doing what's best for kids and put parents

01:53:50.340 in the driver's seat of their kids' education.

01:53:53.260 Ryan, you know, I talk to a lot of AGs around the country.

01:53:56.700 There's 24, I think, that are Republicans and about 15 that are just, like, really on fire

01:54:04.460 great.

01:54:04.920 Do you have the same kind of grouping with the Secretaries of Education or the people like you

01:54:13.920 in other states?

01:54:14.820 Are other red states getting involved in actually doing something like this?

01:54:21.800 Yes, sir.

01:54:22.340 I'm going to tell you, you know, Florida has been an incredible help to me.

01:54:26.800 I've talked to their commissioner multiple times.

01:54:29.480 They just got a new one in there that's going to be great.

01:54:32.040 But they've helped me tremendously in, you know, I'm pushing back on textbook companies

01:54:37.120 saying, if you have any type of critical race theory in your textbooks, you're not going

01:54:40.620 to do business in the state of Oklahoma.

01:54:42.160 They helped walk me through and we brainstormed out a process there on how to do that.

01:54:46.440 So, they've been a tremendous help to me as well.

01:54:48.660 So, that's one of the things we started doing is starting to communicate together and going,

01:54:53.060 guys, the reality is if we all, if all of us red states push back and we start doing

01:54:58.280 this, where we wean ourselves off of the federal government and put the state back where it

01:55:02.980 should be, education is a state issue, not a federal one.

01:55:07.040 And then even at the state level, continue to drive it down to families, giving families

01:55:12.120 choice, options, empowerment, full transparency over what's going on in their schools.

01:55:16.880 That's the, hey, you know, the blue states, if they want to continue down this crazy path

01:55:20.980 of believing that a government bureaucrat can decide and produce better educational

01:55:25.880 outcomes than families, that's fine.

01:55:29.220 But in red states, that's not what we believe.

01:55:31.400 We believe that the families are the best folks to be involved in a kid's education.

01:55:36.140 We want to maximize the family unit's involvement with their kids.

01:55:40.560 And if we continue to do that and we group together, we can push back.

01:55:44.120 And this is the time to expose what the Biden administration and what government bureaucrats

01:55:48.680 in D.C. want to do to education and get them out for good.

01:55:52.220 You know, Ronald Reagan, President Reagan said, Glenn, you know, as soon as the Department

01:55:55.600 of Education goes into effect, he says in a speech in 1981, we've got to get rid of it.

01:55:59.400 I mean, right off the bat, President Reagan recognized this is just going to grow.

01:56:03.900 This is going to be a terrible.

01:56:05.120 So right off the bat, he mentioned that as a department that should be completely abolished.

01:56:08.740 And we have an opportunity now, now that parents have seen what's going on in our schools

01:56:13.080 and seen what the Biden administration is pushing to get that goal accomplished.

01:56:18.680 Well, I hope to hear that chant nationwide, abolish the Department of Ed.

01:56:24.220 But so far, I'm hearing a lot of I'm hearing a lot of parents saying this has got to stop.

01:56:31.660 But I hope to see a lot of politicians and everyone else begin to get on a bandwagon of stopping

01:56:39.080 and abolishing the Department of Education.

01:56:42.640 Ryan, thank you very much.

01:56:44.000 Thanks for all that you do.

01:56:44.920 You're a great friend to the program and to the Constitution.

01:58:44.200 This is unbelievable.

01:58:47.320 Jerome Powell, the Fed chair, has just testified in front of Congress that the war in Ukraine

01:58:55.980 is not the primary driver of inflation.

01:59:00.720 Again, Putin's inflation is not real, according to the head of the Fed.

01:59:09.920 That's quite stunning.

01:59:13.680 Now?

01:59:15.440 We just got something in from the teachers' union, I guess.

01:59:19.860 Can we play a bit of that here?

01:59:23.040 Glenn Beck.

01:59:25.380 Glenn Beck.

01:59:26.200 I represent the Department of Education.

01:59:34.020 We could have been such friends, you and I.

01:59:37.420 We could have been allies.

01:59:38.820 But now I hear that you want to go up against me.

01:59:47.260 That you want to go to the mattresses.

01:59:49.180 This is not a smart move.

01:59:56.240 Okay.

01:59:56.780 All right.

01:59:57.060 I think we...

01:59:58.060 I know.

01:59:59.440 We could have been friends.

02:00:00.180 I think we have it.

02:00:01.540 Tonight, yeah, I'll be pissing the unions off a little bit.

02:00:04.900 Tonight at nine.

02:00:06.640 You don't want to miss that.

02:00:08.000 Now, tomorrow's radio program, the next two days, going to be quite remarkable, I think.

02:00:16.420 We are probably going to get all 13 decisions broken up between tomorrow and the next day from the Supreme Court.

02:00:26.640 So that means the teachers can pray law, the, of course, Roe versus Wade.

02:00:36.040 And climate change is a big one.

02:00:38.480 You have the Second Amendment case as well.

02:00:40.860 That's a really big one.

02:00:41.900 The Remain in Mexico border issue is a big one.

02:00:45.840 And all of them break right in the middle of this show.

02:00:48.860 Right in our second hour.

02:00:50.660 Yay.

02:00:51.380 Every single time.

02:00:52.400 So it's a big adventure that you have to go on with us.

02:00:55.660 It's going to be lots of fun.

02:00:57.100 Yeah.

02:00:57.960 Yeah.

02:00:58.300 So that happens tomorrow.

02:00:59.840 We'll probably get five tomorrow or six tomorrow.

02:01:02.320 And then the remaining five or six on Friday.

02:01:05.720 So this is a show that you want to put on your calendar.

02:01:11.100 Make sure you're with us the entire show tomorrow and Friday.

02:01:15.480 We'll see you tonight at nine on TV.

02:01:17.500 God bless.

02:01:19.840 This is the Glenn Beck program.
