00:03:53.940 it's a new era it is a new era it's a new era and the golden age is here it really is i i'm actually

00:04:02.960 i loved everything he did yesterday there was a lot too i mean boy yeah i mean i loved the

00:04:09.920 i loved the parade thing that they did inside where he was i mean if you would have rolled a couple of

00:04:16.900 missiles through it might have been might have resembled some other countries but it was uh it

00:04:23.060 was very typical of all those events i know i know i know um but it was it was absolutely uh fantastic

00:04:29.180 i love the fact that he signed all of those uh uh executive orders right out in public you know

00:04:36.000 mr president this one is this we didn't get that from any other president they just do it in the you

00:04:42.020 know you find out about it the next day yeah i think he started some new traditions uh of of

00:04:48.340 transparency yesterday and i don't know if you saw when he went back to the white house he actually did

00:04:54.360 a press conference while he was signing the executive orders did you see that yeah yeah i did

00:05:00.120 see part it went on for like an hour yeah i mean i've never seen a president do that where they're

00:05:05.480 just all standing there and you know trying to behave themselves uh maybe they had cattle prods to

00:05:11.260 make sure that they behave themselves but you know they calmly ask questions and he calmly answered them

00:05:16.500 yeah no i mean i like it i i think making those things more well known shows that you hey these are

00:05:23.220 my policies this is what i stand for correct this is why you elected me thank you for electing me i

00:05:29.220 think that's part of it too it's like thank you yeah thank you for all the work that you've done as

00:05:33.080 the american people i promise you these things now you've got them i gotta tell you i saw i was

00:05:38.960 watching cnn because they didn't have fox or anything else at this hotel i mean washington dc

00:05:45.200 is as left as you could go uh and uh i'm watching cnn and i haven't watched cnn in months

00:05:51.980 thank god and i had to watch them for the coverage uh for a couple of hours as we got ready for the

00:05:58.400 presidential war um but uh we're we're uh watching it and tanya's in the bathroom putting her makeup on

00:06:05.880 and i'm i'm getting dressed and i'm listening to it and she's screaming from the bathroom just shut it 1.00

00:06:12.420 off and i'm like i can't it's like a train wreck yeah i could not believe the things that they were

00:06:18.960 saying they've learned nothing nothing they are immediately back into nazi mode no no no that was

00:06:27.800 an important revelation i didn't see that coming to who knew that a trump supporter might be a nazi

00:06:34.240 so funny like they just lost the election because of this yes they just went through this whole thing

00:06:40.640 where they're gonna call everybody nazis nobody's gonna believe them yeah they're gonna lose all

00:06:43.660 their credibility they're gonna have no ratings no no power no influence and they lost the election

00:06:49.740 they couldn't even through make it through day one no they had a they had some new contributor who's

00:06:56.660 not going to be lasting there long uh some uh some new contributor i didn't i didn't catch his name

00:07:02.320 black guy leftist and he's on going you know i think maybe the message should be we should have a

00:07:10.320 little humility and ask ourselves why we lost god he's off the air he was i was surprised that he just

00:07:17.440 wasn't in an injector seat you know there's a big red button right in front of the anchor

00:07:23.420 boom eject out of the drywall behind oh that'd be great next see i'd watch that i'd watch that i'd

00:07:33.160 wait for them to oh my gosh and and i'm like yes yes and then of course the anchor is like

00:07:38.660 you don't know what you're talking about i mean it's just attacking just attacking and of course you

00:07:45.140 know uh the hitler salute from elon i love how this guy is so awkward you know and i i kind of like

00:07:53.560 the fact that he's just you know he's autistic i mean he's got or he's on the spectrum somewhere uh

00:08:01.480 and uh and he's so socially awkward which i absolutely love but they think it's absolutely

00:08:08.640 okay to go what do you think bill he looks a little retarded don't you think yeah that's basically 0.96

00:08:14.760 what i mean yeah yeah just mocking him and then saying he did a hitler salute he said my heart

00:08:21.920 goes out to you that's not a hitler salute you know what hitler was saying the whole no it's not

00:08:28.860 no i know because i it was in german i'm gonna take the heart out of the jew that's what he was saying

00:08:35.040 that's a little different yeah it was a little different it was subtle difference but a little

00:08:39.420 notable though notable you gotta make sure you get that one right you know yeah yeah i mean it's

00:08:44.800 absurd obviously he's not a nazi it's like he was their hero five years ago i know you know and now

00:08:51.620 he's a nazi because he he voted for donald trump and shows up at i mean and he was you see when they

00:08:57.140 were talking about the mars thing yeah and they they panned to him yeah first of all baron trump looks

00:09:02.360 like he could not care less about anything could not any possibly you know who he's just like his

00:09:07.180 mother did you notice she was absolutely no emotion no emotion both of them were like yeah and then

00:09:14.000 uh elon musk is behind him like he's like 12 you know yeah like he's rudy giuliani's kid

00:09:19.160 i was just gonna say that really yeah such a random reference i know we remember yeah if you remember

00:09:26.260 rudy giuliani's son from his inauguration as the mayor of new york his son was i don't know about

00:09:33.080 eight and was just out of control climbing all over his bagging making all silly faces in the

00:09:38.620 background like that's kind of what he was he was so goofy and excited like i don't remember i love

00:09:42.880 doing that at all that was not his shtick at all no adolf was much more serious it's like he was 0.61

00:09:47.920 screaming all the time there's no goofy faces no that was not his no no it wasn't just silly it's like

00:09:53.980 they can't stop themselves everything in them should know number one it's wrong it's not the

00:10:01.160 correct thing to take from that rally but number two it doesn't work for them all they have to do

00:10:07.260 is restrain themselves from this craziness and maybe they could be competitive again but they just cannot

00:10:12.700 stop themselves they can't they are you know the problem with cnn and msnbc and abc and cbs i mean

00:10:20.620 the problem with all of them is all of their employees they're running the nut house they are

00:10:29.120 the inmates are in charge of the nut house and there's no vision there at all and there's no way

00:10:34.600 to change it where are you going to get where are you going to get people to work at cnn

00:10:38.880 because if you hire there is a big homeless problem here in dc you can start picking people

00:10:45.940 off the street and it might be better yeah it might be better even if they don't speak english

00:10:49.800 right it would be better and they don't even speak the same language it's two anchors that

00:10:54.500 don't understand each other and they're each speaking a different language i mean think about

00:10:58.600 it glenn they tried right like there was an effort they brought in a new guy that you know the a guy

00:11:03.540 who you know i i've known people you know who knew the guy they brought in was chris i can't remember

00:11:08.420 his last name and he was from he from colbert or something remember this they brought him in he used

00:11:13.500 you know to run the network and like i had heard from you know behind the scenes that you know the

00:11:19.140 guy was not a republican or a conservative or a maga guy but like relatively like friendly in the media

00:11:26.340 toward like being fair and wanted to do things differently and they tossed him out in six months

00:11:32.760 because they can't get the reporters to work for those people it's you're right you're totally right

00:11:38.320 run by like christian anampur who is so far left insane and has a lot of power there oh yeah and

00:11:45.420 it's the same thing that happened the new york times i mean people like barry weiss who's like

00:11:48.400 who's like a you know a moderate democrat right like a moderate that's what she was and i think still is 1.00

00:11:53.780 as far as i know i don't know i don't know if she's changed affiliations exactly but she she now 0.97

00:11:58.080 sounds like a republican because i know of how insane the left is i know i know they makes me happy

00:12:03.340 it makes you know what really made me happy yesterday watching donald trump just eviscerate

00:12:10.240 uh all of the policies and just speak the truth without any vile or without any guile without any

00:12:18.320 um rubbing their nose in it just a little rubbing their nose i don't think so i think he just

00:12:24.920 eviscerated them i think he just stuck a knife in their belly and took their guts out

00:12:29.360 and was like look at i mean these are stinky guts uh and uh he did it just so expertly he did not 0.99

00:12:36.960 do it in a snarky way but he had the balls to say it right with them standing right behind him 0.94

00:12:44.900 i just thank you and thank you fundamentally isn't that exactly why he got elected yes because he's

00:12:52.340 putting the fun back in fundamentally yes because the policies are there a lot of people agree with him

00:12:58.460 in fact you know a lot of the polling shows that people like his policies more than him um you know

00:13:03.820 that's uh but there is a an attitude there of like he's not gonna be the guy who hides and like leaks

00:13:12.080 he's the guy who's gonna say it right to your face right gonna come out and say look you're wrong i think

00:13:16.180 you did a terrible job but he would have fired right like it's that it's that attitude but he has grown

00:13:21.180 so much i mean you know in 2016 he probably would have said because these policies are so gay

00:13:26.940 we're not gonna do them you know it's possible it's possible and he didn't do any of that he did

00:13:32.400 not say that no you did uh he did not say that i mean he did a lot of speeches though maybe i missed 0.97

00:13:40.180 these policies they're gay we gotta stop them i mean it's like we're run by a whole nation of retards 1.00

00:13:48.300 that's that's like a 2015 speech i think he got rid of that one by 2016 even 0.96

00:13:54.440 you're right he didn't say that no he didn't and that's a that's a positive yeah i thought he was

00:14:00.900 i thought he was fantastic yesterday yeah i mean it's what a day this is and you know what the city

00:14:08.200 does to people you know what the media is going to do like you have to you have to sit back and

00:14:12.140 think this is probably as good as it gets or at least might be you have to consider that possibility

00:14:17.000 but he went through and he did you know he's been promising for months he's going to do 100

00:14:21.100 executive orders or whatever it is on day one he did it he did it in an extraordinary way the city

00:14:26.640 is weird man i mean it doesn't feel like a city that voted 96 for kamala harris or whatever it was

00:14:33.380 it doesn't feel like a city like that it feels like a ghost town yeah they all just left

00:14:37.960 it's an absolute ghost town you the only people you see on the streets are the people that are

00:14:44.440 wearing maga hat yeah you know gold sneakers maga hats you're walking around you're like where did

00:14:49.940 everybody go i mean other than that it's like the omega man yeah because it's like there's not a lot

00:14:55.980 of people on the streets but you can't go down any of the streets because they're all blocked so i mean

00:14:59.860 and honestly if you were here in a democrat wouldn't you get the hell out of the city this week

00:15:04.540 i mean i would be nowhere near this place it's like if your team loses a you know crushing defeat and

00:15:10.080 you have to go to the parade of the other team it's like i just wouldn't want out of here and

00:15:14.160 luckily makes the city a lot better uh when they're gone looks like if your other team uh you know the

00:15:21.720 team you didn't like won and you had to go to the parade and what what happened was happening at that

00:15:28.040 parade was they were dismantling everything you believed in right you know the team has to be

00:15:33.260 also dismantling everything you have spent your life working towards yeah the oppression of man

00:15:39.920 right but other than that it's the exact same yeah exactly the same if your team is you know uh

00:15:46.420 involves you know coach castro and your starter is stalin but anyway uh let's uh let's continue here

00:15:54.900 in just a second we got a lot of guests uh for you today we're going to talk about with alan

00:16:00.560 dershowitz and mike lee we're going to talk about all of these agonizing uh uh pardons that happened

00:16:10.460 not agonizing just agonizing it's very it's much worse it's very different it's very different all

00:16:19.420 right let me tell you about our uh sponsor this half hour it's my patriot supply so um exactly how far

00:16:24.780 into an emergency situation do you have to get before you think wow yeah i think glenn was right on that

00:16:29.760 one should have prepared for this one probably uh right about the time that you so you find yourself

00:16:35.180 stuck right in the middle of a mile long uh line from the grocery store you know and you know you

00:16:40.560 don't even have a shopping cart because the shopping you're not getting anything by the time you get it

00:16:44.900 in the grocery store that's about the time you're like wow huh should have listened that's a problem

00:16:50.640 what you need is my patriot supply to always be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best

00:17:52.920 boy if you were watching yesterday uh you really it it it hopefully it dawned on you

00:18:12.860 holy cow this is a completely different trump administration these people have worked for

00:18:19.520 four years and they know exactly what they're doing i mean it it it it's stunning how much they

00:18:26.900 got done just yesterday and i think a lot of it is uh because of the uh america first policy institute

00:18:33.740 which by the way we're broadcasting uh from now these guys have you know they were quietly

00:18:40.140 you know in the background just working working just keeping their head down working not worrying

00:18:47.040 about being on tv or anything else uh and uh well uh from the institute department of agriculture

00:18:54.620 brooke rollins uh pam bondi cash patel linda mcmahon john radcliffe went to the cia uh matthew

00:19:02.980 whitaker for nato doug collins uh department of veterans affairs lee zeldin epa scott turner uh department

00:19:11.860 of house and urban development they all come from the america uh first policy institute i have a

00:19:19.700 feeling we may be what did they used to say uh i don't speak japanese but uh ground zero i think

00:19:28.760 we're at ground zero uh at the american first policy institute we're going to talk to one of the guys

00:19:34.380 about uh immigration i i don't know about you guys but i was really sad to see those people standing

00:19:40.260 at the border and they were in line and all of a sudden the app was canceled and i'm like oh that's

00:19:46.080 awful and they wept just like tiktok yeah the reverse of tiktok that one's not coming back yeah 0.76

00:19:51.280 did you hear what he said about tiktok um yesterday this is fantastic okay he was like you know if we

00:20:01.020 cancel it it's not worth anything so nobody's going to buy it because it'll be off but if it's

00:20:07.880 if we keep it going we can sell it and it's probably worth a trillion dollars and um i don't know

00:20:15.500 i think because the united states of america is responsible responsible for it i think we should

00:20:20.880 get half that so he's saying but what he's saying is go ahead we'll get we'll get some people but that

00:20:30.040 money needs to go right into our coffers half of that needs to go because we're going to keep you 0.77

00:20:35.640 alive hmm that's an interesting approach it's an interesting approach it is it is not sure well

00:20:43.040 the law is written in a way that i don't know you know it's not necessarily but like again he's in

00:20:46.940 the middle of a negotiation so who knows where this lands yeah right yeah it's much better than

00:20:51.280 the secret deals that we have with pharmaceutical companies yeah which uh jason buttrell is with us

00:20:57.920 now you've got to be happy oh all the research that we've done i feel vindicated at least i'm not

00:21:04.380 happy that there's people that are just kind of getting off um right now i think that we're going

00:21:09.940 to find more as they start heading into maybe callbacks in front of congress that's what i hope

00:21:14.560 happens now but after connecting all these dots and seeing you know chalkboard after chalkboard after

00:21:19.820 chalkboard and then now seeing these pardons of people like you know james biden his wife a couple

00:21:26.560 more brothers and sisters their spouses people that we've seen on wire transfer documents straight out of

00:21:33.300 congressional testimony i mean fauci you know the the covid stuff bothers me and and as much as the

00:21:41.300 biden stuff i mean it's it's uh you know these guys they get to keep their their freedom and their

00:23:27.600 and thank god for that because the jewish people aren't just our closest allies in the world there

00:23:32.120 are also our brothers and sisters under the same god that we worship that's one of the many reasons

00:23:37.980 that i partnered with the international fellowship of christians and jews we're coming up on january 27th

00:23:44.120 i believe it is which is the uh international uh holocaust remembrance day and the fellowship is

00:24:30.300 welcome to the glenbeck program we're glad you're here we're at the america first policy institute

00:24:49.160 which is kind of ground zero for everything that uh happened yesterday and is is coming chad wolf is

00:24:56.540 with us he was the uh dhs acting secretary uh for uh for a while and he's also the uh american first

00:25:05.260 policy institute executive director and chief strategy officer great job on uh yesterday whatever

00:25:12.040 whatever role you guys played yesterday that was impressive well i appreciate it i think we played a

00:25:17.940 role as well as many other groups and individuals a lot of what we've been doing over these three and a

00:25:23.160 half years was to lay the groundwork for what occurred yesterday both from talking about what

00:25:27.920 does it mean to be america first what does it mean to bring america first policies into public policy

00:25:33.780 and then a lot of work we did to help the transition to get to where they were in order to sign you know

00:25:40.120 over 200 executive actions yesterday and to really hit the ground running as hopefully they're doing in

00:25:45.420 every department in every agency today uh to move forward what is today like what what what is happening

00:25:53.420 today if you're a a trump political appointee and you're inside so i'll talk about two different ways

00:25:59.200 if you're inside an agency like dhs or the department of ed or the state department uh it's drinking from

00:26:04.620 a fire hose right because there's a limited number of you coming in on day one and then they slowly

00:26:08.820 start to populate the those agencies over a period of time you're coming in and you're trying to get your

00:26:14.140 hands around uh major decisions that have to be made you get your hands around the budget budget

00:26:19.940 drives priorities in a lot of these agencies and departments getting your hands around that getting

00:26:24.420 your hands around hiring decisions all of these things matter because all of these turn into policy

00:26:29.160 um and so couldn't you look at the budget before you got in is there anybody yeah yeah absolutely i mean

00:26:35.340 you can you can get a sense of the overall budget yeah but what have they spent in the last two weeks

00:26:39.540 and where have they spent that and what are their priorities for spending that

00:26:43.040 or who have they appointed to lead certain agencies career sorry not agencies but departments within

00:26:48.740 an agency and did they appoint them in the last two weeks right to to slow down the agenda when i

00:26:55.200 came into dhs in 2017 i started asking for let me see the the list of ses which is the senior executive

00:27:01.840 service well finally i got it after a lot of delay uh and almost a third of them were appointed in the

00:27:08.200 last two weeks before president trump took uh office right and so it gave you a sense of well

00:27:13.160 they didn't let us pick them because they could have easily just delayed some of those selections

00:27:17.280 and made some recommendations they didn't do that they made the appointments um and they did that for

00:27:22.540 a reason so you know the president talks about the deep state you can call them the administrative

00:27:26.540 state or whatever it might be yeah i think that's a challenge i think that appointees coming in today

00:27:31.500 they're trying to get their hands around so what if what is the administration uh found or what is the

00:27:36.500 tact that they're going to use on just firing people i mean mass firings have got to happen yeah

00:27:42.540 absolutely unfortunately i would say that uh there's a lot in law that that makes that difficult

00:27:49.340 just uh protections that uh congress has passed for the civil service uh team overall but what you can

00:27:56.680 do is you can identify who the problems are right you can look at their past performance

00:28:00.680 my my sense is from serving for the last you know the previous four years the team has a good

00:28:06.220 sense of who those are you can move them out of uh move them out of the way right so move them from

00:28:11.060 one agency or sorry one to one office to another right so if you have they're in an office it's

00:28:17.360 critical uh to the operations of that department and they're not on the team and they're a problem

00:28:22.700 they're underperformers well you can start the process of removing them by moving them to another

00:28:28.320 office that maybe is not as important and you just kind of move them out of the way until you can

00:28:33.060 start the whole process because what they do is they'll they'll throw a eeo complaint in they'll

00:28:38.500 throw a whistleblower complaint right all designed to slow down the process of their removal right i

00:28:43.440 gotta tell you i mean if you if you could get them and move them you know you'd have the biggest

00:28:48.400 department in in america you know the department of deadbeats you just i mean it's like uh uh the

00:28:54.860 teachers union in new york you can molest a kid and they don't fire you they just move you

00:29:00.720 into a place where you just show up every day and sit in a classroom now you can remove federal

00:29:05.780 employees it's just difficult it's hard uh but who do they work process right you know it's crazy if

00:29:11.840 the administrator is not in charge of the hiring and firing then in charge of the he's not in charge

00:29:18.460 of anything three of anything uh is that going to be challenged i'm sure it will but i think it's

00:29:24.360 pretty good uh you know there's pretty good case law that allows them to remove individuals

00:29:28.380 the question is whether you can speed it up not my guess is the team is looking at ways to do that

00:29:32.680 so he came in yesterday uh and i love this like a wrecking ball yep um when is the average person

00:29:40.760 going to start to see any of the effects of what's happening here in the first week yeah i'm hopeful

00:29:47.820 soon it's hard to give you an exact timeline right just depends on where you are right if you start to

00:29:52.880 see changes in your school system uh or in the schools that you're in or your dei programs if you work

00:29:58.280 in a large corporation perhaps they're getting rid of those on on day one or very soon if you're

00:30:03.460 along the border hopefully you're seeing some real changes very very quickly almost every community is

00:30:09.140 impacted by fentanyl hopefully at some point that starts to turn as well and i'm very hopeful that it

00:30:14.260 will so it just depends on you know how do you view as an american changes to your life you know

00:30:21.700 depending on what you care about the taxes the inflation that might take a little bit longer

00:30:26.540 uh but that's gonna that's gonna come with relief as well how do you look at or how will the drug

00:30:31.980 cartels look at what he did yesterday what are you expecting i mean i would love to actually have a war

00:30:38.880 on drugs and just annihilate those people yeah i think they were put on notice they were put on notice

00:30:44.240 obviously there's a lot of changes but saying that we're going to start the process of designating 0.83

00:30:49.000 them as a foreign terrorist organization that is that's already shot across the bow right i mean that's to

00:30:54.800 say you're a target now yeah and i give them a lot of credit i mean we've talked about this for a long

00:31:00.160 time and we've talked about the issue of cartels we've admired the problem for years and decades

00:31:05.380 and we've treated as a law enforcement issue primarily with atf and dea and others and we've

00:31:10.460 had some wins from time to time but it's not getting any better i i have to tell you it's it's almost as if

00:31:15.920 our government has been working with them at least in the last four years we're enabling them yes we're

00:31:21.820 empowering them they they they being the cartels may have made more money they had more power more

00:31:28.180 territory more weapons than they have ever had before because of the human trafficking

00:31:32.160 that occurred over the last four years and the amount of money that they made off of that right

00:31:37.020 it's important to remember all the millions of folks that came across that border every single

00:31:40.800 one of them paid anywhere from 10 000 to 30 000 depending on where they came from in the world

00:31:46.040 that all goes into the pockets of the cartels and so you can imagine what that does oh yeah

00:31:51.620 yeah um the um the outcry from deporting you know president trump said yesterday this is more than

00:32:01.960 even eisenhower did who was the number one no he wasn't it was bill clinton 11 million people were

00:32:09.360 deported under bill clinton one way or another yeah uh and i never heard word one right of any whining

00:32:16.460 about it under bill clinton um what are you how are we going to combat the media just losing their

00:32:25.380 mind about these poor people well no whining under bill clinton no whining when when um hillary clinton

00:32:32.620 signed the secure fence act yeah uh and whenever that was that said hey you've got to build physical

00:32:37.980 infrastructure along that wall and now people are like the wall's racist right right it just depends

00:32:42.280 on on the politics i think that the the left is going to work overtime we already saw this in the

00:32:46.820 washington post yesterday because they canceled the cbp1 app at at 12 noon right washington post

00:32:52.460 had a story up probably about four hours later about how this family had been waiting for months to get

00:32:57.340 their cbp1 app and it was it was canceled at the last minute and and you're sort of like yeah that

00:33:03.060 elections have consequences and this is what this is what occurs yeah so they're already friend yeah

00:33:08.500 they're already working overtime they're going to find the most sympathetic story and and their goal

00:33:12.880 is not to fight on the policy they know that the american people and like like the policy that

00:33:18.520 president trump is implementing yep they're going to try to pull on the heartstrings yes and they're

00:33:22.920 just going to try to do that and do that over time to where it just wears them down um and so i every

00:33:29.080 time i hear a sympathetic story i think about uh uh you know lincoln riley i think about rachel morin i think

00:33:37.180 about those families that will never have their children back because of what the biden administration

00:33:43.100 did over the last four years so let me talk to you about uh security um in a different way we know a

00:33:49.120 lot of people have come across the border that wish us ill um you know you don't have to comment on this

00:33:54.820 i would love to hear it but uh you know i wonder how much of gee it's cold outside was also you know

00:34:03.000 protection for the president let's not put him out in in harm's way needlessly um uh now that you

00:34:12.920 know we have cnn saying we're gonna take over greenland and we're gonna march our troops into

00:34:18.600 greenland uh you know the the world is on fire enough what are you what are you seeing for security

00:34:25.960 here in america well i don't have access to any classified information but what i could i could

00:34:30.620 probably imagine is definitely the chatter was up right and so you saw a number of security measures

00:34:36.120 that we haven't seen before during inauguration but you saw that i mean during the campaign i mean

00:34:41.340 he was targeted twice um and his threat profile during that campaign was much higher than president

00:34:46.940 biden's was right and so well you have to be significant point taken um but coming into office

00:34:54.640 that's only going to increase and so this is a president that tells you exactly what he thinks

00:35:00.340 um and is going to benefit is going to advocate as he did yesterday and will continue to what is to

00:35:07.380 the benefit of american the american people and that's going to piss off a lot of people gonna piss 0.84

00:35:12.340 off a lot of special interest and others that like the status quo the way it is whether it's the

00:35:17.040 cartels we were just talking about it they like the status quo the way it is they want to coexist in

00:35:22.380 this like harmony to where they can do what they do uh and you know the u.s does what it does and

00:35:28.000 president trump saying no that's that's not the way i'm going to do it and so i'm going to i'm going

00:35:32.180 to challenge that status quo and in doing so he's going to make enemies does the administration

00:35:37.300 still remember do they have a long enough memory i know trump does but do they have a long enough

00:35:44.080 memory on who these people are that are all coming in you know you saw bezos and everybody else and

00:35:49.060 you know the media hated those people i mean love those people now they hate them but they were

00:35:55.200 their best friends they were calling each other at night hey can you suppress this can you suppress

00:35:59.680 that now they're all in bed with donald trump um and i know exactly who they are i mean uh you know

00:36:06.180 is a rattle does a rattlesnake make a good pet yeah yes as long as you always remember it's a rattlesnake

00:36:13.180 and not a cute little puppy dog these are rattlesnakes that have just folded their fangs 0.99

00:36:18.380 back for a little while um i'm concerned about the people that are now coming in going hey buddy here

00:36:26.220 we are yeah do are we do we have a long enough memory on the right yeah i think we do i agree

00:36:32.000 with you president trump certainly does yeah i think he knows that i think at the same time they're always

00:36:36.920 trying to figure out you know we hear this term a lot growing the tent whether you grow the tent

00:36:41.260 with those folks or not i think they're probably interested in their self-interest and sure in

00:36:45.600 what's best for their companies and i think and i understand that there's a place yeah for that as

00:36:49.980 long as you always remember their rattlesnake and so if that coincides with what the president and his

00:36:54.180 team want to do great yeah but i agree with you i mean you've got to understand um that for the

00:36:59.820 longest time definitely four years during his term and almost four years during biden uh they were on

00:37:05.100 the other side of a lot of these issues yeah dei right oh yeah i mean they were happy to put these

00:37:09.600 things in place and only now are they canceling it and um does that change yeah thank you so much

00:37:15.740 yeah appreciate it that's uh chad wolf he's from the america first policy institute he's the executive

00:37:21.200 director these are the people that are putting a lot of the power players into place uh and they've

00:37:27.940 done it quietly and done it the right way just keeping their head down and working hard back in just a

00:37:33.260 minute first let me tell you about our sponsor this uh this half hour it's cozy earth so you know i

00:37:39.120 thought about getting joe and jill biden a parting gift on their way out of the house uh but i didn't 0.86

00:37:50.440 with cozy earth but it doesn't i was just saying some people might have said maybe we get them 0.99

00:37:54.760 something soft and cuddly nope just a giant boot um but cozy earth would be the place if you cared

00:38:01.960 about somebody and you thought you know what i'm gonna miss them uh maybe get something comfortable

00:39:18.980 worried about the meaning of the word retarded than the word work glenn beck we'll be right back 0.90

00:39:27.080 so you know what i like is uh we're a nation of laws and not of men i think washington said that

00:39:50.420 we're a nation of laws and not of men um and i think to really prove that out i think joe biden

00:39:56.520 really really did that that you know he gave 8 000 pardons out now i want to give you some some

00:40:04.580 perspective on that that's a little more than not the number two president with pardons okay uh number

00:40:12.840 two came in with 7 000 and i think 61 pardons something like that uh except that was the guy who

00:40:22.380 followed abraham lincoln and he was pardoning the confederate soldiers okay so so johnson comes in

00:40:34.180 and is like okay we just had a war we're not going to put everybody in jail i'm going to pardon them

00:40:39.620 biden pardoned more people in his administration than that guy and then he bragged about it oh yeah

00:40:49.500 yeah yeah he tweeted him you know like i i did the most in history like it was like some great

00:40:53.300 accomplishment and then and then cnn and others were on tv last night going i'm just so perplexed by

00:40:58.580 what he's doing by what he's doing but he said he was going to do this he said he was going to do

00:41:05.280 where on the other hand biden said he wouldn't do this right i mean that's where i'm perplexed we had

00:41:12.900 that uh video i think yesterday of him in 2020 saying you know they were talking about potentially trump

00:41:18.520 pardoning his family uh preemptively yeah he said well you're not going to get that out of my

00:41:23.060 administration yeah well i guess we did we did yeah yeah i guess we did um but uh we're going to

00:41:30.520 talk about that with mike lee all the pardons that came down what does it mean um is there really

00:41:36.240 justice mike lee is going to join us also alan dershowitz in just a minute

00:41:41.020 this is glenn beck

00:41:53.920 this is glenn beck

00:41:56.020 this is glenn beck

00:42:06.020 this is glenn beck

00:42:21.020 this is the glenn beck

00:42:49.680 why hello america welcome to the glenn beck program from the nation's capital

00:43:11.120 yesterday what is coming your way we're going to talk to alan dershowitz and mike lee as well uh this

00:43:17.020 hour about uh all of the pardons what do they mean uh how do we how do we have a nation of laws

00:43:24.160 if you can pardon people for future crimes nobody's been charged with anything

00:43:30.780 this doesn't seem like uh a good idea to start this ball rolling down the hill we go to mike lee here in

00:43:39.640 just a second first let me tell you about our sponsor our sponsor this half hour is tunnel to

00:43:44.380 towers foundation i want to tell you about u.s army specialist brett maynard he's a hero who enlisted

00:43:50.160 after 9-11 because he wanted to be a part of something that mattered well while he was on the road clearing uh

00:43:56.700 in a clearing mission in afghanistan his vehicle was destroyed by an ied and his life changed forever 0.99

00:44:03.600 he's now a t4 paraplegic with traumatic brain injury compartment syndrome in both of his arms and

00:44:10.280 severe eternal injuries i mean he needed facial reconstruction from all the damage that the blast

00:44:15.280 did sometimes the cost of the freedoms that you and i enjoy every day that we honestly take for

00:44:21.060 granted most time uh that cost is very high and somebody else paid for it despite all he's had to face

00:44:28.440 his spirit has remained unbroken and you played a role in that if you contribute to tunnel to towers

00:44:34.340 because they stepped in and built him a specially adapted smart home mortgage free so he can live

00:44:40.140 more independently it's a mission that tunnel to towers foundation is on to never forget 9-11 nor

00:44:46.040 abandon our heroes and their families whether they died or sacrificed themselves overseas or here in the

00:44:53.640 country america's heroes need your help now more than ever donate 11 a month to tunnel to towers at

00:44:59.500 t2t.org that's t the number 2t.org all right let me go to mike lee senator how are you sir doing great

00:45:10.940 it's good to be with you as always so i wanted to ask you uh you tweeted something last night

00:45:17.860 uh is dc ignoring trump's pardons if it is then this is definitely a time to repeal dc home rule

00:45:26.240 you had me at the word repeal uh dc's government has no right to exist constitutionally congress

00:45:34.240 shouldn't have delegated its lawmaking authority over dc it's time to take it back i love you okay tell me

00:45:42.180 what this means what this means is that congress needs to do its job we've had a problem for a long

00:45:49.460 time with congress delegating its lawmaking power to unelected unaccountable bureaucrats we've got a 1.00

00:45:55.500 corresponding problem in that we're supposed to be the lawmaker for the district of columbia

00:46:01.900 article 1 section 8 clause 17 sometimes known as the enclave clause gives us that power we've been

00:46:08.900 delegating that to the dc government for about a half century uh the results have been disastrous

00:46:14.980 results have been a government that doesn't serve the interest of the people well it's a

00:46:19.960 a radical leftist regime that runs it their schools are failing crime rates are soaring

00:46:27.000 and last night from what we can tell after trump issued a pardon for a number of prisoners involved

00:46:34.940 with january 6th uh there were only two released last night and i spoke to someone last night who

00:46:41.720 had gone down personally to the dc jail saw that only two of them had been released and jail officials

00:46:48.080 of the dc jail announced that they wouldn't be releasing any more last night now this is not hard

00:46:54.080 glenn they have names and they have pardons they can identify those prisoners who have been pardoned

00:47:02.140 trump's directive was that they were to be released immediately as one should when one uh sees that

00:47:10.140 somebody's been pardoned and they still weren't out so we're still trying to get names numbers and and

00:47:17.960 verify that this uh is how this is happening but from what we can tell they haven't complied with it

00:47:23.840 yet it's yet another reason to revisit dc's home rule which i think should be repealed

00:47:28.900 that's extraordinary um that they would be that bold and say because everybody was watching them 0.99

00:47:42.600 last night i haven't heard this reported i mean cnn is the only thing i can get in this stupid hotel 0.96

00:47:49.100 by the way if anybody on my staff books me at a hipster hotel one more time heads will roll i i want 0.96

00:47:57.820 actual furniture not beanbags thank you um the hipster hotel feels exactly the same way by the way

00:48:05.600 oh my they were really what'd you say in the 70s so you know oh they were very popular and i who

00:48:12.100 doesn't love them i'm not 18 years old anymore please book me in an adult's room um anyway

00:48:21.040 uh uh he was watching cnn last night and they had you know people stationed out there and they were

00:48:28.540 just complaining that you know criminals that had killed police officers on january 6 were just being

00:48:34.100 released you're saying that there's only two that were released last night and nothing yet this morning

00:48:41.220 that you know of that's right that's right my former staffer sean peterson was down at the dc

00:48:46.620 jail and he said that they released two of them through a back door and then a jail official said

00:48:52.860 we're not releasing any more tonight even though there were apparently many more uh to be released

00:48:58.760 now again as you blend these these are people who have been pardoned and this is a government

00:49:05.920 that has done like things like this for a long time i've got story after story of horrible things

00:49:12.240 you know dc allows non-citizen voting in their local elections you know how difficult that can be

00:49:19.800 to disentangle the uh people who were casting votes in uh the local elections from those uh who are

00:49:27.960 voting in true federal elections that is a problem in and of itself you've also got the fact that they've

00:49:34.080 just uh time after time they've taken positions that harm the people of dc make everything more

00:49:40.140 expensive these guys have high tax rates they spend like crazy in education yet they've got one of the

00:49:46.980 most failing school systems in the entire country you want to know something interesting four years ago

00:49:52.420 uh an elite unit from the utah national guard was out here in dc uh protecting dc protecting the

00:50:00.260 white house from the violence that was erupting in the summer of 2020 in this city

00:50:05.340 in the middle of the night after they'd gone through like a 36 hour shift none of these guys

00:50:10.420 had slept in 36 hours they had worked all night and all day and all day the next day

00:50:16.960 and um they were evicted by the office of the mayor of the dc government these are the kind of people

00:50:24.660 these are and they've been begging for a reveal of dc home rule for a long time we need it now they've

00:50:30.740 been begging for it by the terrible things they do uh i want to cut the mayor of dc some slack

00:50:38.960 because they might have been high on crack uh and and i think that i mean because that is a tradition

00:50:46.960 isn't it stew for the dc mayors to be high on crack yeah i think it's part of the uh the job

00:50:51.720 description part of the deal you have to have you have to at least be high on crack occasionally i believe

00:50:57.260 um so so mike is this going to gain any traction what are you going to do well the first thing

00:51:05.780 we've got to do is make sure that these prisoners who have been pardoned are in fact released but i

00:51:11.820 think the word needs to spread now obviously this is a niche issue period is a local issue and it's an

00:51:17.940 issue that's very emotional for many of the people who live in and around the area but i think more and

00:51:23.240 more residents of dc are getting wise to the fact that something's not working right and increasingly

00:51:28.960 on the hill hang on just what does this mean what would this mean for the judicial system

00:51:33.400 because you can't get a fair trial here in washington dc and you know anything goes wrong

00:51:39.620 in washington dc anybody commits any crimes in in the capital or in the white house it's all tried

00:51:45.420 here in washington dc and it's so corrupt it's got to stop what would this mean for that system

00:51:51.680 well look at least for the system of deciding who's going to be prosecuted who would be running

00:51:57.760 the city would change and you'd start to see people prosecuted for uh more things like property

00:52:04.800 crimes the sort of the soros uh funded prosecutor mentality has infected this city and it shows i've

00:52:13.260 lost count of how many members of congress and how many staff members of members of congress

00:52:19.620 people i interact with most when i'm in washington of course have been assaulted have been carjacked

00:52:25.280 have been stabbed uh have been robbed often in broad daylight often within a block or two

00:52:32.520 of the u.s capital which is one of the more heavily policed heavily secured uh locations anywhere in

00:52:39.620 america and yet this happens here because there is an environment of lawlessness the more this

00:52:45.560 happens the more members of congress are saying that this isn't working this is our capital city it

00:52:51.860 should be a shining city on a hill we can't let it slip into this state of disrepair and utter lawlessness

00:52:59.340 it would be uh it would be helpful if people started tweeting uh and uh started calling their

00:53:07.460 senator or house member and uh started some grassroots effort to repeal dc home rule uh might

00:53:15.420 might it might gather some attention if people started doing that today mike let me uh ask you

00:53:21.480 about i've been tweeting from my from my base at base mike lee account over and over again repeat

00:53:27.980 repeal dc home rule so if people want to join in this i can you can retweet me you can tweet on your

00:53:34.840 own send out posts on on x on any other social media platform contact your members of congress

00:53:40.940 and tell them the message is very simple repeat repeal dc home rule

00:53:46.560 um mike the the idea that we can no longer go uh after fauci or or any of the people on january 6th

00:53:58.560 what does that mean to you well what it means to me first of all is that these guys are going to

00:54:06.420 have a hard time perhaps an impossible time invoking the fifth amendment not if but when

00:54:12.460 they're subpoenaed to testify in congressional hearings because if they've been pardoned then

00:54:18.460 one can rationally logically conclude that there's no risk of prosecution and if that's the case i don't

00:54:26.480 think they can invoke their fifth amendment rights to remain silent and we can finally get to the bottom

00:54:32.700 of exactly what happened it also means that there was an understanding that some things happened

00:54:39.280 some things happened that would otherwise likely be uh uh likely to lead to an investigation if not

00:54:48.200 criminal charges to be brought against some of these people but what do you because i watched enough

00:54:53.640 cnn yesterday i watched cnn enough yesterday to know that they're spinning this as they're just doing

00:55:00.520 this as preemptive against trump because he's going to go after these poor people yep so if you believe

00:55:07.760 that then you're likely somebody who believed fauci in the first place and you're quite possibly

00:55:13.780 somebody who even after anthony fauci was caught repeatedly lying in some cases under oath uh to ran paul

00:55:21.920 and uh and others who asked him questions but remember ran paul was raising the question very early on

00:55:29.280 about gain of function research tony fauci repeatedly denied that there was gain of research funding

00:55:37.100 happening and it of course it was all the time they were covering it up they tried tried to use a

00:55:42.620 different name to characterize it but it was still gain of function research tony fauci also spread the

00:55:49.280 false rumor that this was uh you know the result of i don't know a pangolin and a monkey holding hands in a

00:55:58.480 park somewhere in wuhan and that produced the violence and you know a lot of people were harmed

00:56:05.200 as a result of this uh the covid deaths and illnesses in and of themselves were bad enough

00:56:12.560 and the predictable foreseeable outcome of the u.s government's funding gain of research uh activities

00:56:18.980 in places like wuhan a place that was known to have a horrible hygiene record and that's how things like

00:56:26.460 this happen people get hurt and then the country overreacts and more bad things happen all over

00:56:31.900 the place yeah this has got to be investigated and yeah president so when tony fauci faced real

00:56:38.860 problems here that's why trump needed to act and i'm glad that trump uh is going to see to it the truth

00:56:46.040 comes out biden may well be able to pardon him and he in fact did but in some ways that helps us get to

00:56:53.500 the bottom of the truth we've got to subpoena the heck out of these guys and get the truth out of

00:56:57.800 them because if they if they tell a lie on the witness stand if they deny what we now know because

00:57:08.500 of documents to be the truth they can be prosecuted for that lie can they not yes yes of course of course

00:57:16.600 the whole point here is not we can't undo the damage these guys did and the point isn't to

00:57:24.740 torment them for the sake of tormenting them the point here glenn is that we've got to get to the

00:57:29.360 bottom of the truth because otherwise this kind of pattern of abusive government continues to happen

00:57:34.320 and i will flag here the fact that if we understood the nature of the federal government if we read the

00:57:41.660 constitution and understood the twin structural protections at the heart of it the vertical 0.97

00:57:46.600 protection that we call federalism the horizontal protection we call separation of powers this crap

00:57:52.100 would end and so we've got to we've got to restore the movement in america getting people to read and

00:57:59.340 understand the constitution particularly the structural constitution which has been badly

00:58:03.800 neglected and bastardized over the last 80 years

00:58:07.400 stew and i have a couple more questions if you don't mind hanging on just for a second

00:58:13.540 uh mike more with mike lee and then alan dershowitz on pardons coming up in just a second first let

00:58:20.280 me tell you about patriot mobile i like businesses that don't hate me i don't call me weird call me

00:58:25.020 old-fashioned but i like to uh you know walk into a store and do business with people who don't

00:58:30.440 absolutely despise me and fight against everything that i believe in when it comes to big mobile the

00:58:37.000 company that you can do business with but actually likes you and believes in the same things you do

00:58:43.180 is patriot mobile patriot mobile when you hear about big mobile companies like verizon donating

00:58:48.540 portions of their money that they receive to customers and causes that leftists love like planned

00:58:54.020 parenthood how do you think they feel about you and why are you still doing business with them

00:58:58.920 feels like a slap in the face patriot mobile doesn't do that they're america's only christian

00:59:03.760 conservative mobile phone company their mission is to passionately defend our god-given constitutional

00:59:38.100 country their service is better the uh coverage is exactly the same uh that you already have if you're

01:00:08.820 senator um somewhat related question there was a friday news dump from the new york times that

01:00:26.260 outlined the six people who basically covered joe biden's uh decline mentally over the past few

01:00:34.840 years they identify them they talk about them and their motivations and their tactics um while you

01:00:42.140 know the way they describe it to the times it seems to me really really bad maybe maybe it's not illegal

01:00:46.540 but my guess is there's a lot of texts and discovery that would lead us to a different conclusion on that

01:00:53.300 is there possible is there a possibility that we look into that is that the type of thing that we

01:00:57.120 could do it's certainly something that ought to be the topic of congressional investigations

01:01:03.260 now what whether or not uh people will testify whether or not they'll be able to invoke the fifth

01:01:09.740 amendment privilege against self-incrimination whether or not we'll we'll find anything that is a

01:01:15.420 game changer remains to be seen but we need to try we need to ask questions because there's enough just

01:01:20.720 on the face of things a lot of us saw the mental decline unfolding in real time in slow motion only

01:01:28.200 we saw just a small sliver of what was actually going on and then when you add to that the fact that

01:01:35.800 there was this sham debate set up in june what was it like the fourth week of june that was very curious

01:01:43.880 that they were agreeing to a general election debate before either candidate had gone through

01:01:50.640 his um uh national convention phase before either candidate was officially the party nominee

01:01:58.180 and normally you don't do that until the weeks before the general election and yet they were doing this i

01:02:06.180 thought that was really curious in and of itself but i think the fact that they scheduled it for june

01:02:11.360 uh without precedent in modern history as i did as far as i can remember uh indicates that there

01:02:19.040 were some people on the inside including on the inside of the white house who knew there was a

01:02:23.080 problem they needed a way to elbow joe biden out and so they acted so if they knew that at least by

01:02:30.340 then certainly they knew of more things that were happening and yet nobody uh in the white house

01:02:36.060 nobody in the administration was willing to support a 25th amendment type of a discussion

01:02:41.860 that they just covered it up and that's a real problem especially when you look at all the

01:02:46.780 problems that the biden administration was creating and the fact that we now have affirmative reasons to

01:02:53.300 doubt whether biden was even conscious of all these decisions that supposedly he was making

01:02:58.540 somebody was doing that right somebody was messing with america but we need to know why

01:03:03.000 and how and through whom and who and who i mean you know the the revelation that came out from mike

01:03:09.780 johnson uh about you know having no joe biden having no idea what he was doing with natural gas is

01:03:17.160 really uh very disturbing mike thank you so much god bless you mike lee the senator from utah alan

01:03:23.600 dershowitz next this is glenn beck

01:03:27.100 all right let me tell you about rough greens remember the good old days when dogs were just pets

01:04:51.260 welcome to the glenn beck program uh i don't know about you but i have a i have a real problem

01:05:10.840 with uh somebody giving uh people who work in government blanket pardons for anything that

01:05:19.220 they might have done wrong that just doesn't seem like american justice and it doesn't seem like a

01:05:23.960 uh a system where you could hold people accountable for what they've done it just seems like that is

01:05:29.700 uh ripe for corruption in every way possible uh what does it all mean um well alan dershowitz is uh

01:05:40.820 here with us now to talk to us about the future uh pardons or the pardons that uh joe biden made

01:05:48.900 uh and said he wouldn't just a few years ago alan dershowitz harvard law school a professor emeritus

01:05:54.680 host of the dershow and the author of get trump welcome alan well thanks for having me appreciate

01:06:02.440 you bet so can you uh i mean everything that these guys have done when they try to force their hand

01:06:11.920 uh it seems to backfire on them i'm hoping this is the case uh but i mean it just screams uh trouble

01:06:22.120 for the future look if i were one of the people that biden pardoned i would be very upset uh first of

01:06:30.940 all it makes it sound like they did something wrong even if they didn't and second it denies

01:06:36.120 them their fifth amendment rights so they can now be hauled in front of congress and investigated

01:06:41.380 completely as to all of their actions so i don't think trump i don't think biden did them any favors

01:06:47.920 uh and he also set a dangerous precedent look when uh ford pardoned nixon that was done in the national

01:06:55.780 interest because nixon was under investigation there was a special prosecutor still operating

01:07:01.140 um but these folks the relatives they weren't under any investigation or really under any cloud

01:07:08.660 um and um i just don't understand why biden did that after violating his own promise to the american

01:07:17.160 public when he said he wouldn't pardon his own son all right i understand your son's been convicted

01:07:22.800 he's about to be sent to jail he's um a young man who's had all kind of troubles with drugs and

01:07:29.540 other things i understand the father doing that what i don't understand is on the way out literally

01:07:36.920 literally as he's sitting on the platform in washington he issues these last minute pardons to

01:07:43.920 virtually everybody in his in his family and and the surrounding people it just doesn't establish a

01:07:50.000 precedent now for president trump it probably establishes a good president because he now has

01:07:54.440 much more flexibility in the pardons uh he can issue look the most important thing that many

01:08:01.120 important things that president trump said in his inauguration one of them is that he wants to put an

01:08:06.140 end to lawfare and if we put an end to lawfare which is one of the worst things that's ever happened

01:08:11.660 to this country you know i coined that term back in the 1960s uh in a very negative way and it's

01:08:18.160 used very negative way but if we can end lawfare then we may see an end to these promiscuous use

01:08:25.320 of pardons as well because i think the pardons are seen as an antidote to the lawfare and i'm hoping

01:08:32.680 we can get back to a situation which the framers intended where people prosecuted not for what party

01:08:40.600 they belong to but for what they've actually done and if we can see a return to that maybe we'll see

01:08:46.440 a return to the more normal use of pardons as well well i don't think that fauci uh you know is in

01:08:53.680 danger of being prosecuted for what party he belonged to i mean you know he got along with

01:08:59.540 donald trump famously um but if we can't if we can't prosecute people um and this becomes a habit of

01:09:10.000 every president just blanket pardoning people for that were involved in anything then we have a real

01:09:16.640 issue here there's nobody that can ever be held accountable who's going to be held accountable

01:09:20.900 for what happened with covid you know under our system of federalism of course uh you can be held

01:09:28.800 accountable by the states um as you know trump was prosecuted by new york and that invalid

01:09:35.360 unconstitutional conviction still stands now you and i disagree with um dr fauci now

01:09:42.680 we may agree that covid wasn't handled properly but you know i'm pretty experienced as a criminal

01:09:50.080 lawyer i can't find any criminal conduct in what fauci did he did what he thought was so i don't think

01:09:57.420 alan america i don't think i don't think that we disagree i just want an investigation done and if

01:10:05.240 there was something that was criminal we must i don't care who it is we must make sure that it

01:10:12.360 doesn't happen again all i want is the truth i'm not after anybody um and the investigation is made

01:10:19.660 easier now with the pardons because now fauci can't claim the fifth amendment he has to go in front of

01:10:25.940 congressional committees and they are controlled by republicans now and he can be asked for disclosure

01:10:30.620 of all of his records he can't destroy records they're not his records they're the records of

01:10:35.540 you know government health agencies and we can have a full and complete and total non-criminal

01:10:41.440 investigation of fauci and and everybody else and that's what our checks and balances system is all

01:10:47.900 about and i would like to see investigations for example i think one of the best things that

01:10:53.500 president trump said in his inauguration yesterday was he is putting a final end to dei uh diversity

01:11:00.520 equity and inclusion which is the single worst thing that's happened to our system of equality

01:11:06.000 at universities in the united states today as you know dei stands for diversity equity and inclusion

01:11:11.620 what it really means is lack of any diversity except based on skin color lack of equality in the 0.95

01:11:17.360 substitution of group equity and exclusion of asians jews and other less popular minorities so

01:11:24.260 you know i'd love to see an input to that and i'd love to see congress investigate universities that

01:11:30.160 still have dea programs that end up being hotbeds of anti-semitism anti-americanism anti-catholicism

01:11:38.060 uh you name it anti-religion uh it's it's the worst thing that's happened to universities it's

01:11:44.180 turning our universities into second and third class institutions that can't compete in the world today

01:11:50.740 i really don't like this idea that we have uh presidents come in and dictate through president uh

01:12:02.200 presidential fiats and and uh uh and executive orders we can't you just can't run a country that

01:12:10.020 way you know flipping one direction and then entirely the other direction things have got to go through congress

01:12:16.260 um however in this particular uh time period how else are you going to do it how concerned are you

01:12:24.700 about the the precedent that we're now selling um uh ceiling from the last two presidents and executive orders

01:12:33.340 well it starts with thomas jefferson of course he runs for president in 1800 saying president's

01:12:39.520 too much power i want to restore congress and the power of congress one of the first things he does

01:12:45.000 is buys louisiana uh doesn't give congress any input through executive order one of the best things

01:12:51.440 that ever happened to america you know alaska was purchased by presidential order so you know they're

01:12:56.840 good and they're bad and the one thing about presidential orders as we saw yesterday is they can be

01:13:02.200 rescinded the moment the new president comes in the first thing the president first act was to rescind

01:13:07.680 70 some odd presidential executive orders so you know they're only temporary the constitution doesn't

01:13:14.520 mention executive orders it just gives power to the president and allows him to have that power

01:13:21.220 so uh i would love to see more going to congress look i think congress is supposed to declare war

01:13:27.400 and yet we've had so many wars since the last time we declared war that you know presidents have

01:13:33.040 assumed far more power than the framers of our constitution ever intended remember article one

01:13:39.460 is the congress article two is the president congress is supposed to be the governing body of america

01:13:45.840 with the president administering the laws not making laws correct but the people of the administrative

01:13:53.600 state i mean i know we're in an argument now of you can't fire them all of these protections but if

01:13:59.360 they don't work for the executive and the executive branch who do they work for well they're supposed

01:14:06.480 to work for the people of the united states and it's so complicated take for example the justice department

01:14:11.800 we have a new attorney general she's wonderful i work with her she's a great lawyer she's a great person

01:14:18.100 but she has an impossible job she's supposed to be the president's royal advisor of legal issues part 1.00

01:14:25.760 of his cabinet designed to make him look good that's part of her job the other part of her job

01:14:31.100 is to be the chief prosecutor and for that she can't be political at all she has to be completely 1.00

01:14:36.500 objective in most western democracies those two jobs are divided we have the director of public

01:14:42.760 public public prosecution who decides who to prosecute and the attorney general the minister of justice

01:14:49.120 who decides policy but in this country we have the two to merge and it creates an impossible job

01:14:56.440 and i think bondi is capable of doing it garland was not he couldn't strike the appropriate balance

01:15:03.020 between uh politics and law and so these are very very hard questions remember the bible instructs judges

01:15:10.840 and prosecutors i'll put it in hebrew first lo takir panim do not recognize faces do not do justice

01:15:18.800 based on who the person is only do justice based on what they've done and we have to return to that

01:15:25.220 it's biblical it's constitutional and it's the right thing what was your uh response yesterday when

01:15:33.660 the way everything came off how do you are are you more optimistic about our country or less

01:15:39.960 i am much more optimistic about our country i spoke to the president trump twice between the time of

01:15:46.460 the election three times actually between the time of the election and the time uh he assumed the

01:15:51.960 presidency and we had good good discussions about about israel about the middle east about

01:15:57.280 anti-semitism but also about lawfare and the rule of law and i think he was a very different person

01:16:04.160 in these kinds of one-on-one conversations or one-on-two conversations than he is you know when

01:16:11.100 he is uh on television and in front of large crowds i'm i'm hopeful that he'll really take advantage of

01:16:19.360 the fact you know i'll tell you he's the luckiest guy in the world that he didn't win the last election

01:16:25.060 in 2000 if he had had that election turned around and they had judicially ruled that he was the

01:16:32.040 president he'd have had four miserable years in which half the country wouldn't have accepted him

01:16:36.760 and now he'd be a has-been as of now yes he is the most you know the president with a mandate with a

01:16:43.980 popular vote it's the best thing that ever happened to him and i told him that yeah when i met with him

01:16:49.500 most recently i said basically get over it you're so lucky that you're now the president you have a full

01:16:56.160 second term ahead of you and he smiled and i think he'll do a good job yeah i have to tell you i i told

01:17:03.020 him similar but i i said uh you know it wasn't necessarily about him look how grateful we should

01:17:09.700 be because look at if we would have had him in 2020 so much wouldn't have been exposed that has been

01:17:17.900 exposed over the last four years and he would have been doing the same thing that he was doing in the

01:17:22.920 first four years this give him a chance to step away from it reassess watch what's going on people

01:17:29.600 wake up and now he has a chance of really making an impact yeah i'm calling him now president president

01:17:36.460 trump because you know he's been president twice he'd like to call himself president president president

01:17:41.640 trump but you can't be president three times so he has to be just president president trump and i will

01:17:47.620 never call him a convicted felon ever he was not convicted of a constitutionally permissible crime

01:17:54.080 he is totally innocent and people should understand that the new york case is unconstitutional nobody can

01:18:01.520 even describe what he was convicted of so i'm never going to call him a convicted felon any more than i

01:18:07.720 would call a civil rights worker who went down south with me in the 1960s and was convicted of a felony

01:18:15.360 for spitting on the sidewalk a convicted felon we have to look at the what you know what the

01:18:20.880 surrounding circumstances so president trump's our president whether you voted for him or against him

01:18:26.920 everybody should be praying and hoping for four great years for america

01:24:14.140 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:21.780 Hello, America. There was a controversial woman that I follow and you probably don't know enough about. 1.00

01:24:33.760 Her name is Katie Hopkins. 0.94

01:24:35.800 I follow her online and I find her her bat crap, crazy Britain updates to be really entertaining. 0.74

01:24:46.540 And I don't know, kind of helps me get through some hard days from time to time. 0.95

01:24:51.980 She is here in Washington, D.C. and she tweeted something last night after something happened to her in a restaurant here in America.

01:25:01.520 And she's walking the streets, going back to her hotel and she starts to cry.

01:25:06.720 Now, she is not a person to cry at all. 0.98

01:25:10.480 She is, as she said, she's, you know, she's a cow. 1.00

01:25:15.220 She's a mad cow that, you know, just says whatever it is she's thinking, she's not one to cry. 1.00

01:25:23.480 But something happened to her here in America that set her off. 0.97

01:25:27.860 And I think it's worth you hearing.

01:25:29.860 And we do that in 60 seconds.

01:25:32.560 Stand by.

01:25:33.340 First, Lear Capital.

01:25:35.200 It is so important to remember that it's not the government's job to financially plan for your retirement.

01:25:42.240 OK, it is the government's job not to collapse our currency.

01:25:46.280 And I think I think Donald Trump has a good plan to stop that.

01:25:51.400 I don't know if anybody heard him last night in this impromptu press conference that he had where he was talking about how the BRICS nations are going to try to collapse the dollar.

01:26:03.300 And he said, yeah, well, not really on not really on my watch, because we'll put 100 percent tariff on those countries and they'll think twice.

01:26:14.400 Hard truth is you don't know what's going to happen.

01:26:18.020 What's good, what's bad.

01:26:19.320 You just have to be prepared.

01:26:21.540 There are consequences for everything that we have done.

01:26:24.380 And I'm not trying to scare you.

01:26:25.660 It's just a reality.

01:26:27.140 Hoping that things just get better is not a strategy.

01:26:30.620 Please consider investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals like gold.

01:27:10.100 800-957-GOLD.

01:27:13.640 All right. 0.99

01:27:16.460 So Katie Hopkins is from England, and she is constantly talking about bat crap crazy, using a different language, bat crap crazy Britain. 0.98

01:27:27.920 And I don't know how she gets away with it because she says things about everybody that are very offensive at times. 0.98

01:27:37.940 But equal opportunity offender.

01:27:39.940 She's an equal opportunity offender. 1.00

01:27:41.500 At least she seems to be, and she is just tired of everything that we're going through.

01:27:47.580 And she's a big admirer of America, and she came over from Great Britain for the inauguration.

01:27:53.800 And she has been saying for the last month or so, thank you, America, for giving the rest of the world some hope that without you guys turning and turning this corner and coming back to reality, we have no chance of doing it.

01:28:07.320 But last night, she posted something that I wanted to play for you.

01:28:12.780 Here it is.

01:28:13.580 Listen.

01:28:13.820 But I've just been set right off because some people in the restaurant.

01:28:24.620 I was just in there on my own just to get food in so that I could, you know, go out and do what I do this evening.

01:28:34.020 And I'm trying to pull it together.

01:28:37.960 I'm supposed to be this big hard cow, you know, so it's quite important that I don't lose it.

01:28:46.580 But anyway, so I asked to be sat in the corner quietly, and I just got food in, and everyone was so kind.

01:28:54.720 And this is how some more of the presidential party is coming through.

01:29:02.280 We'll just let them get through.

01:29:04.640 Very exciting time to be in D.C.

01:29:08.020 Whoever they are, God bless them.

01:29:13.360 Go on!

01:29:15.500 Go on, good patriots.

01:29:17.400 Go on.

01:29:17.940 And anyway, I came to pay my bill because I need to get home and get ready to go out.

01:29:26.100 And someone had settled my cheque.

01:29:29.860 And honestly, it's just set me right up.

01:29:35.840 Because I think, I think all sorts of reasons.

01:29:41.600 I think just the kindness of people.

01:29:47.640 I mean, oh golly.

01:29:52.880 But I think just also, just the bigness.

01:29:58.100 That's what Trump would say, wouldn't it?

01:30:00.760 Wouldn't it be?

01:30:01.840 Just the bigness of it all.

01:30:03.940 You know, of what this day really means to everybody.

01:30:10.020 And what so many people have done.

01:30:12.040 And I know I'm overtired.

01:30:13.880 And I know I haven't slept.

01:30:14.940 I know I haven't eaten.

01:30:15.720 And I know I probably could have drunk less wine over the last two days. 0.99

01:30:20.580 And certainly, I've still got this bloody b**** hat on. 0.98

01:30:24.780 It's just a joke. 0.97

01:30:26.740 And I totally don't like people that cry on any, you know, you've got to man up.

01:30:32.820 But, um, I guess I just wanted to be honest about how big this is.

01:30:42.300 And the January 6ers are just being released now.

01:30:46.500 Enrico's just been released.

01:30:48.500 And his mum is getting, his mum's getting her son back.

01:30:54.080 And Trump's getting the hostages back.

01:30:56.240 I just, oof, all of a sudden, I think I've been celebrating so hard.

01:31:04.880 And I've been so happy.

01:31:07.040 All of a sudden, the reality of how big this is.

01:31:11.760 And what, you've got a president saying there's two biological sexes, guys. 0.99

01:31:16.300 And you can buy whatever car you want.

01:31:20.800 And we're not going to conform to this nonsense anymore.

01:31:25.960 I just suddenly, the kindness of one family in a restaurant just completely opened the floodgates.

01:31:33.120 And, you know, when I realise that my hand's freezing off because it's minus two.

01:31:39.600 And I really do need to try and put some mascara on.

01:31:42.360 And it's going to be futile.

01:31:45.260 But I think even I hadn't truly realised what we've been living under.

01:31:51.800 And I really don't want to be this person, but I don't think you know how much your freedom is being taken from you until you start to get it back.

01:32:09.620 And America is getting that freedom back.

01:32:14.300 And it's a lot bigger than my little hearts could comprehend.

01:32:19.580 So to the family who bought my dinner.

01:32:21.800 Who I went and thanked.

01:32:25.440 Thank you.

01:32:26.620 And to America, just thank you.

01:32:30.580 And I'm so happy and so proud for all of you who've paid such a big price to get us this far.

01:32:39.760 And now I'm going to pull myself together and I'm going to come back and I'm going to be the hard-nosed cow that I'm supposed to be.

01:32:47.700 Okay, that's what I'm going to do.

01:32:49.100 The reason why I found that so compelling is A, the kindness of Americans.

01:32:57.740 I wrote to her, she wrote back and she said, I am, I am, I'm brought to tears almost all the time when there's a kindness of a stranger.

01:33:06.540 And she said, I find that in America and she said, I find that in America all the time.

01:33:10.580 And, but what she said was, I don't think you realize how many freedoms you've lost until you start getting them back.

01:33:23.480 She hasn't gotten them back.

01:33:25.940 She's seeing us get them back.

01:33:28.620 And I hear this all the time from people over in Europe and people in England that the world is watching us.

01:33:38.600 They truly are watching us.

01:33:41.320 And Donald Trump is leading the world back into a sane place.

01:33:47.440 So people like Katie who are over, I mean, it's much worse in England.

01:33:52.240 They don't have the first amendment.

01:33:55.240 And the people who are, are worried about their freedom are watching America.

01:34:01.740 They watched yesterday and they know that this is going to mean something for the entire world, not just America.

01:34:12.200 And I think that's a good thing to recognize.

01:34:15.140 I think that's something that it's important for all of us to recognize that.

01:34:19.260 Yeah, we've gone through some hard times, but look what we've, look what we've done.

01:34:23.940 This started with the tea party.

01:34:26.780 If it wasn't for the tea party, Donald Trump wouldn't have existed.

01:34:30.020 If we hadn't have done and laid that groundwork and then been called failures and all kinds of names and everything else,

01:34:37.920 Donald Trump wouldn't have, wouldn't have been there.

01:34:42.140 Wouldn't have, the time wouldn't have been right.

01:34:44.660 If Donald Trump wouldn't have run the first time and become president and then lost the second where, you know,

01:34:52.980 parents were called terrorists for speaking up.

01:34:57.380 If all of this stuff hadn't have happened, COVID wouldn't have happened.

01:35:02.720 All of the bad stuff, we wouldn't be here now.

01:35:07.220 And so for anybody who has really taken it on the chin, anybody who has been silenced, abused, felt to feel, made to feel small,

01:35:17.780 made to feel insignificant, congratulations.

01:35:20.600 You just won.

01:35:24.520 Now it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not final victory.

01:35:28.460 It is a major battle that we won.

01:35:32.100 It's like 1943.

01:35:34.740 Things are changing our direction.

01:35:37.360 1944, we're on the beaches.

01:35:39.580 We still have a long way to go,

01:35:42.960 but we've won a foothold on the beaches.

01:35:49.620 I think that's important to recognize.

01:35:51.960 Yeah.

01:35:52.760 And it, uh, hopefully it's just beginning, right?

01:35:56.080 And the, the progress is just beginning,

01:35:57.660 but that is a, it's, it's something you have to kind of sit back and just like wonder at.

01:36:03.820 I think that's where I've been over the past couple of days.

01:36:05.520 This is amazing.

01:36:06.400 It's an amazing story.

01:36:07.540 It's an amazing comeback, political comeback.

01:36:10.020 I mean, this doesn't happen just four years ago, Glenn.

01:36:14.100 I, you know, think about where we were on this day, right?

01:36:17.380 Like we had just had the inauguration of Joe Biden.

01:36:19.980 Donald Trump was kind of like almost an exile, right?

01:36:22.200 Like he was out.

01:36:23.320 Even Republicans didn't seem to like him all that much.

01:36:26.460 You had a situation where he was on the verge eventually of being charged with a bunch of crimes.

01:36:31.260 Uh, they, uh, they were about to raid his home.

01:36:34.840 You know, the inauguration with, with Joe Biden goes on without him there.

01:36:39.480 They don't do any of the, you know, sort of niceties that go, go on.

01:36:43.320 And the people who are watching the inauguration are sitting outdoors with masks on.

01:36:48.060 There's like 40 of them there.

01:36:49.960 That's, that's what it was just, just four years ago.

01:36:52.400 Think of how far we've come in a really positive way.

01:36:56.000 Come, there's been a lot of damage over the past four years, but this is a really positive change.

01:37:00.400 We shouldn't, you're right.

01:37:01.360 We shouldn't just let it go by without noticing it.

01:37:03.300 And we shouldn't let it go by without saying to the rest of the world, you're not alone.

01:37:09.940 We know you're in this with us.

01:37:12.100 I've been talking about that for years.

01:37:14.080 This is not a left, right problem.

01:37:17.320 This isn't a Republican Democrat.

01:37:19.100 This is not even a, an American problem.

01:37:22.280 This is a global issue.

01:37:24.000 The global elites have taken control of our countries and America is the, the first big

01:37:31.700 one to be able to flip that against all odds.

01:37:35.940 And it's not going to leave you and your country behind Canada.

01:37:41.260 You're very close.

01:37:42.380 All you have to do is flip it.

01:37:44.600 You get the apple eating guy.

01:37:46.320 I wish I could remember his name, but you get the apple eating guy in there as prime minister.

01:37:50.640 Uh, yeah, whatever, the guy who's eating the apple.

01:37:56.200 Yeah.

01:37:56.420 The apple guy.

01:37:57.380 I think everybody knows him as the guy who was eating the apple.

01:38:01.460 Um, you can lead the rest of the world as well.

01:38:06.860 Country after country is going to fall because none of this is true.

01:38:11.760 None of this works.

01:38:13.900 And you're seeing the results all over the world, but especially right now in California.

01:38:19.840 And that era is over whether you or anybody else likes it or not.

01:38:27.180 All right.

01:38:27.780 Let me tell you about, uh, the Burna launcher.

01:38:32.500 Uh, you know, the weirdest thing, uh, happened yesterday, right after the inauguration.

01:38:37.320 Um, I remembered where all my guns were in that lake.

01:38:40.220 I remember, I can't, you're kidding.

01:38:42.140 No, I remember exactly their GPS, but they're all waterlogged.

01:38:45.980 And no, I can, did you have a watertight box?

01:38:48.200 I did.

01:38:48.640 I dropped them in an accidentally a watertight box, which went to the lake and you were able

01:38:53.160 to retrieve them.

01:38:53.820 I was able to retrieve them yesterday, right after the election, but you were in D.C.

01:38:58.160 I know.

01:38:58.840 Well, did it happen in the river right out here?

01:39:00.880 I had people that retrieved it.

01:39:03.000 Oh, yeah.

01:39:03.540 Yeah.

01:39:03.960 I'm so I, I put, isn't that amazing?

01:39:06.720 That's incredible.

01:39:07.400 Congratulations.

01:39:08.120 Yeah.

01:39:08.440 Yeah.

01:39:08.780 Yeah.

01:39:09.180 Now I never learned, lost my Burna launcher, uh, because it's non-lethal and therefore not

01:39:13.720 a gun.

01:39:14.720 Uh, you know, you need to take somebody dangerous out in a situation.

01:39:18.240 It still works, uh, but you can't kill them. 0.97

01:39:21.880 You know, you could just hit them with tear gas and put them down on the ground for about, 0.99

01:39:25.420 uh, 40 minutes.

01:39:26.400 So you can get a Burna launcher and those things never are lost in boating accidents.

01:39:31.320 It's crazy.

01:39:32.440 I hope I don't lose them again in the next four years, but anyway, non-lethal alternative

01:39:37.160 to safeguarding your home.

01:39:38.540 It is legal in all 50 States with no permits or background checks required, and it can be

01:39:43.160 used by all age groups over 18.

01:39:45.300 The Burna launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60 foot

01:39:50.880 range and one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

01:39:55.320 In honor of the inauguration this week, Burna has put together a custom curated bundle discounted

01:40:00.980 at 15% off MSRP.

01:40:03.580 Uh, it includes a SD launcher, target tent, commemorative 47th presidential hat, and that's

01:40:11.560 while supplies last, and the safety that comes with every Burna launcher.

01:40:18.840 B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

01:40:21.520 It's Burna dot com slash Glenn.

01:40:23.820 10 seconds, station ID.

01:40:25.320 Oh, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:40:40.360 Uh, what was your favorite executive order yesterday, Glenn?

01:40:44.580 You got a big selection.

01:40:46.100 Mine?

01:40:47.180 Pulling out of the Paris courts.

01:40:49.060 I love it.

01:40:50.360 I love it.

01:40:51.340 That was good.

01:40:52.620 We are like, uh, and the one that followed it, this is, uh, sending a letter to the United

01:40:58.840 Nations telling we're out of the Paris accords.

01:41:01.820 Um, you know, it's funny because when a grand scheme of things, there's more important ones

01:41:06.820 because it's such a nonsensical accord anyway, but it shows it's an attitude, right?

01:41:11.840 It's like, we're out.

01:41:12.620 And it also kind of sends this message to the rest of the world of like, we aren't going

01:41:16.940 to play these games.

01:41:18.140 You know, we are not, we're not here to entertain you.

01:41:20.880 We're not here to fit in.

01:41:22.000 We're here to do what's right.

01:41:23.040 It's like one of the phrases I always hate is, uh, the phrase, uh, you want to make sure

01:41:27.060 you're, you're on the right side of history.

01:41:28.680 And like, no, I don't like my, my goal is not to be on the right side of history.

01:41:32.820 My goal is to be right.

01:41:35.100 History has all sorts of back and forth and they remember things positively and negatively

01:41:41.060 and different countries have different views.

01:41:43.300 I want to be right.

01:41:44.680 Whether my history in 50 years or 150 years says I'm wrong or not, I want to be right.

01:41:51.360 Uh, there's probably a long time.

01:41:52.500 The people who were the abolitionists felt like they were on the wrong side of history.

01:41:55.760 Yeah.

01:41:56.060 Probably went for a while on the wrong side. 0.98

01:41:57.380 You believe that black people shouldn't be slaves. 0.98

01:41:59.960 Right. 0.93

01:42:00.300 And eventually it turned out that, but they weren't, it's not because we all came to this

01:42:04.160 history of eventually understood what the right thing was.

01:42:07.560 It's because he was right from the beginning.

01:42:08.960 Yes.

01:42:09.560 And like, that's what I think is important.

01:42:10.940 And I think the message we're sending to the whole world and to the country.

01:42:13.760 Yes.

01:42:14.140 We're not, we are going to do what we believe is right.

01:42:17.360 We're not going to sit here and fold to every one of your left wing demands. 0.99

01:42:20.160 And I, I, I, it's a nice, it's a nice piece of that.

01:42:23.300 Did you have one that you really were excited about?

01:42:25.000 Yeah.

01:42:25.140 I think the Paris Accords was the most exciting.

01:42:27.600 I mean, you know, there's, you can tell he had a certain glee while signing.

01:42:31.160 Oh yeah.

01:42:32.140 He liked that.

01:42:32.940 Oh, he did.

01:42:33.660 I mean, I really liked the January 6th thing.

01:42:35.700 I wish the January 6th hadn't come with a pardon for, you know, Joe Biden pardon for all the

01:42:41.380 people that destroyed these people's lives.

01:42:44.160 Yeah.

01:42:44.540 Just destroyed them.

01:42:46.600 Yeah.

01:42:47.060 It's interesting.

01:42:47.840 I, I, I'm back and forth on the, on the Biden pardons as to whether they're good or bad,

01:42:54.560 because I, I, the Dershowitz mentioned this.

01:42:57.080 And I think in a way, I, I obviously want these, if someone committed a crime, I want them held

01:43:01.400 responsible, of course.

01:43:02.420 But like what I really wanted the answers and if we can, if this helps us get the answers

01:43:07.400 and, and so that we can prevent it later on, like I'm almost more excited about that.

01:43:12.000 I agree with you.

01:43:12.820 And I think that just like everything they're doing right now, they're so desperate and

01:43:17.380 they're forcing their will.

01:43:19.020 They don't understand I will be done.

01:43:21.340 They're forcing their will on everything.

01:43:24.520 And what happens every time you force your will, you usually fail spectacularly.

01:43:30.400 They did that with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

01:43:33.960 They've, they forced their will on so many things, on so many people, on so many subjects

01:43:39.920 and it's falling apart.

01:43:41.600 It's all falling apart.

01:43:42.940 Um, I, I can't help, but think, ah, you know, don't, don't, don't, don't cry your eyes

01:43:49.420 out over that one.

01:43:50.860 Uh, because while it's, it's setting a bad precedent, I don't think that, uh, it's always

01:43:58.400 going to be viewed this way.

01:44:00.020 I think it's going to kind of come back at them like the 2020 election did, you know,

01:44:05.580 where we were like, oh, we're doomed.

01:44:07.100 It's over.

01:44:07.640 We can't do no.

01:44:10.720 Look how well that worked out for us.

01:44:12.740 What do you think about the, the government only recognizing two genders?

01:44:17.840 Uh, I, I'm, I'm happy about that.

01:44:20.040 I can't hear that.

01:44:20.680 We would need it.

01:44:21.580 I know.

01:44:22.020 I was going to say, I can't believe we need it.

01:44:24.580 I can't believe that.

01:44:25.960 And, and that was another one of these things where I thought of people overseas that how

01:44:31.460 many people overseas are going, oh, thank God.

01:44:34.160 Somebody saying it, somebody saying, and I wish I could be in America.

01:44:37.260 I knew that they would come back to their senses.

01:44:39.840 Well, we have at least temporarily.

01:44:43.200 Now these things have to have got to start making a difference in the average everyday

01:44:47.380 person's life.

01:44:48.460 Uh, and, uh, we could have a very long run of common sense.

01:44:53.540 This is Glenn Beck.

01:44:59.640 NMLS 1-823-34, NMLS consumeraccess.org.

01:45:02.800 APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

01:45:06.580 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:45:10.140 All right, let me tell you about American financing.

01:45:14.100 You know, we all still have kitchen table problems.

01:45:16.740 A lot of us are carrying really high credit card balances, charging 20% or more for interest

01:45:22.580 every single month.

01:45:23.400 You're never going to be able to get rid of that ever.

01:45:25.840 You've got to do something that is a game changer, something that, that changes everything

01:45:33.320 for you.

01:45:34.100 Um, what is the path through all of that?

01:45:36.780 Well, if you're a homeowner, you might want to work on ways to get out from underneath

01:45:40.460 that debt by calling American financing.

01:45:42.940 Last year, their salary-based mortgage consultants helped customers save an average of $800 a month.

01:45:48.660 If you start today, you might even be able to delay up to two mortgage payments, which

01:45:53.300 can help you even get further out of debt and further ahead.

01:45:56.600 Don't take my word for it.

01:45:57.940 Do your own homework as always.

01:45:59.540 It's American financing, call Americanfinancing.net at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

01:46:08.520 It's Americanfinancing.net.

01:46:15.980 Head over to blaze47.com.

01:46:19.040 The code is 47.

01:46:20.320 You get 47 bucks off to celebrate the 47th president.

01:46:29.540 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program and Jen Pellegrino, who is, uh, America First Policy Institute

01:46:42.980 Senior Director.

01:46:44.380 She is also American First Policy Institute Chief Spokesperson.

01:46:48.500 If you don't know anything about, uh, America First Policy Institute, uh, I kind of say good

01:46:54.580 really, uh, because they kind of kept everything under wraps and they were just putting their

01:47:00.200 head down, not looking to score points or become famous or anything.

01:47:04.440 They wanted to make sure that they could actually get in and do the hard work.

01:47:09.120 Once this administration, uh, started in a lot of the people, uh, that had been working,

01:47:14.880 uh, with America First are now in cabinet level and just under the cabinet level.

01:47:20.480 So there's a lot of, uh, a lot of planning, uh, that happened here that was started to

01:47:27.440 execute yesterday, right?

01:47:29.160 Exactly.

01:47:29.600 A lot of planning.

01:47:30.300 And, you know, we're so proud of the work that's been done here, Glenn.

01:47:33.260 I've been only on the team for a little over a month now, but I look back to my career as

01:47:37.680 a journalist and interviewing a number of experts and leaders from AFPI over the years.

01:47:42.460 And it's really been incredible to watch the work that they've done that have led us to

01:47:46.520 this place where we have this mandate, this massive victory, this new day in America that

01:47:52.280 is largely thanks to the work, the research, um, the policy that AFPI has developed.

01:47:57.580 And you think back to 2021 when Brooke Rollins, um, who had worked in the Trump administration

01:48:03.480 the first time around, um, had this vision.

01:48:06.300 I mean, it was the start of a dark time in this country, the dark winter as Joe Biden called

01:48:11.080 it back then.

01:48:11.660 And, you know, when so many conservatives were out there feeling defeated, feeling like

01:48:17.340 it was over for us and it only got worse as the years went on, uh, Brooks had a vision

01:48:22.960 and thought we could have a great comeback.

01:48:25.400 And it's amazing to see how that, that transformed where we are.

01:48:28.940 This is the first time.

01:48:30.140 And I know, you know, uh, it's happened with every president, but this is the first time

01:48:34.840 that I felt we stepped up our game so much.

01:48:40.500 We were at least competitive with the left on once you win, you know, the left comes in

01:48:48.660 and they've done so much homework that they they're building a machine and they've been

01:48:53.100 building this machine forever.

01:48:55.120 Um, and we never seem to come in with a schematic and go, no, no, no, that part has to be removed

01:49:00.360 and that part has to, and we're building a machine and here are the new parts.

01:49:04.020 Um, I feel like we've done that this time for the, for the first time in a dramatically

01:49:11.220 significant way.

01:49:12.600 Would you agree with that?

01:49:13.420 I would agree with that, Glenn.

01:49:14.440 And, you know, it's, it's been a process, right?

01:49:16.740 I think that the left, I, in my opinion, it goes back to 2020 when our cities were burning

01:49:21.620 and I think Americans were sick and tired of seeing it.

01:49:25.440 I remember being in the middle of it in DC and on the weekends having to get out of town

01:49:29.840 because I couldn't think about what was happening.

01:49:31.960 It was stressing me out personally.

01:49:33.540 And I think so many Americans watching that, they said, we're, we're, we're done, you know,

01:49:38.180 step sitting back and being quiet.

01:49:39.940 We have to speak louder.

01:49:41.740 We have to have a backbone.

01:49:42.760 We have to push back a little bit more because they were doing it on the left.

01:49:46.240 And so it's, it's been really remarkable to see how, you know, year by year, slowly, but

01:49:51.660 surely we're starting to kind of pull back a little bit to regain that control.

01:49:56.060 Um, and, and obviously AFPI has been, you know, a great leader in that space and getting

01:50:00.960 the messaging out there.

01:50:02.460 Um, but I think Americans have just gotten fed up.

01:50:05.040 They're sick of being lied to by administrations, by the media.

01:50:08.940 And, um, they said, we're, we're not going to have it anymore.

01:50:11.280 So why do we have the white house correspond?

01:50:13.020 Well, I mean, I know the history, but the white house correspondents, um, they control

01:50:17.180 the press room.

01:50:18.720 Why?

01:50:19.640 Why don't we just get rid of that?

01:50:22.180 We should, we should, I'll tell you as when I was a white house correspondent during the

01:50:26.580 last Trump administration, it was brutal.

01:50:29.440 You know, they, they did not want conservative outlets in there aside from kind of the big

01:50:34.200 names that we all know, um, the smaller outlets that a lot of people watch that they look to

01:50:38.960 that they feel are more truthful in delivering the news, more transparent.

01:50:42.820 Um, the white house correspondents association was threatened by, um, it was in the way they

01:50:47.480 treated me every day when I was in that room.

01:50:49.220 When, you know, the Trump administration said, we want you in there to report.

01:50:52.860 I had to stand off to the side.

01:50:54.420 I'd get blocked with a ladder.

01:50:56.060 Um, they, they tried to all, what do you mean blocked by a ladder?

01:50:58.620 Blocked by a ladder.

01:50:59.980 So photographers that would be in there, put a ladder in front of where I'd be standing

01:51:03.920 off to the side so that I couldn't see the podium so that the president who would call

01:51:08.260 on me, wouldn't see me.

01:51:09.920 So they would do all kinds of things to try to make your life difficult from putting notes,

01:51:14.300 um, on your station down in the basement at the white house there, the press basement,

01:51:18.560 um, really kind of some passive aggressive action and, and trying to, you know, prevent

01:51:23.500 you from doing your job, um, because they were certainly threatened by it.

01:51:27.020 And so I really hope, you know, given the way president Trump and his team have handled

01:51:31.580 the media so well, especially this last election cycle, um, I really hope given all that they've

01:51:37.460 learned and experienced that they transform that briefing room, have the right people in

01:51:42.860 there because you know what?

01:51:44.000 Americans are sick and tired of being lied to Glenn.

01:51:46.980 Yeah, I haven't, I don't have a problem with, you know, the left being in there, just an

01:51:52.620 equal share of right should be in there as well.

01:51:55.480 You shouldn't have a hostile press room every time the press secretary walks out on either

01:52:02.140 side.

01:52:02.820 You know, you should be able to call on the people that people are actually listening

01:52:07.680 to.

01:52:08.000 And I have to tell you, people are not listening to CNN.

01:52:11.360 And, and I mean, those, those days are over it's over and the white house, uh, press

01:52:18.280 core should, should be dismissed your time.

01:52:21.200 You know, you had, you know, from Woodrow Wilson till now, congratulations on that cute

01:52:25.560 little idea, but things have changed and you no longer can pull all the strings.

01:52:30.360 Exactly.

01:52:30.680 And you look at how the media landscape is changing, right?

01:52:33.120 I mean, look at your success, Glenn, so many others that are outside of that legacy media

01:52:38.220 space, that's what people are turning to now because they're so tired of being lied

01:52:42.500 to that it's, it was so out there and open that they lied to us again and again.

01:52:46.420 I mean, look at going into the 2024 election, you know, how many Americans thought Kamala

01:52:51.300 Harris had it?

01:52:52.240 She, she had it in the bag.

01:52:53.480 She was winning.

01:52:54.300 Look at all these celebrity endorsements.

01:52:56.220 Oh yeah.

01:52:56.900 And yet they weren't doing real reporting.

01:52:59.240 Right.

01:52:59.560 That's what was actually going on.

01:53:00.660 So a lot of people were surprised that we won in such a landslide.

01:53:03.920 How much are you going to miss, uh, Creen John, John?

01:53:06.100 Oh man, you know, I'll miss, uh, making fun of those exchanges.

01:53:10.760 That was always entertaining.

01:53:12.840 Um, but it was such an embarrassment.

01:53:14.340 I mean, you think about how we look on the world stage as these briefings are taking place.

01:53:19.040 You know, they love to say how the adults were back in charge, um, when they know Washington

01:53:23.340 and it was the exact opposite.

01:53:25.360 I have never seen anybody less prepared for a job, even at the end of her job.

01:53:32.420 I think everybody, you could say it out of just about anybody in the Biden administration.

01:53:38.340 I mean, such an embarrassment again.

01:53:40.500 I mean, you look at Jen Psaki, some say she did all right when peddling the lies. 1.00

01:53:44.400 Sure.

01:53:44.780 Um, but KJP just, you know, was buying into it and thought we did too.

01:53:49.040 She had no clue.

01:53:49.800 Half the time she had to bring in somebody else to do her work because she couldn't explain,

01:53:53.660 uh, the questions that were being asked by the press.

01:53:55.860 And she never got her nose out of that book. 1.00

01:53:58.400 Never, never.

01:53:59.660 I mean, it was like, you're not talking to a real person.

01:54:01.780 You, I mean, why not just have AI in there answering the questions?

01:54:05.540 Why not have the cheat sheet like Joe Biden always carried around, right?

01:54:08.500 I mean, it was, everything was so choreographed and down to I'm calling on this outlet first.

01:54:13.380 This is the question.

01:54:14.180 And then there's the back of his head.

01:54:15.580 So what are your, um, feelings about actually being able to change the game?

01:54:22.480 What have you guys done here that we can actually reduce the size of this government?

01:54:29.500 How confident are you that we're going to be able to do that?

01:54:32.940 Listen, I think it's going to take some work.

01:54:34.480 It's obviously a massive undertaking, but we've got a lot of momentum right now.

01:54:39.140 We've looked at how many people from the America first policy Institute have gone into

01:54:43.560 the new administration, um, at some point, a lot of them will come back here, uh, as we

01:54:47.960 see transitions, but I think there's a lot of effective leaders that the president has

01:54:52.360 brought around him.

01:54:53.420 Uh, when you look at this new cabinet and you look at other staffers, um, in the, in the

01:54:57.500 West wing.

01:54:58.160 So I think that they're going to be ready to get to work.

01:55:00.380 You saw that in the actions he took yesterday.

01:55:02.640 You know, he said in one of his rally speeches, yeah, somebody told me to kind of release these

01:55:07.320 orders, you know, a few at a time.

01:55:08.780 And he said, heck I will, you know, we're getting to work today because that's what the American

01:55:13.320 people have asked for.

01:55:14.660 We've suffered long enough.

01:55:15.740 And he really changed the paradigm.

01:55:17.780 I think, I mean, I, uh, the, just the idea of the transparency of signing, explaining and

01:55:25.260 ex and signing all of those in front of people.

01:55:27.900 And then last night he goes back to the white house and he's signing more executive orders

01:55:31.680 with the press in the room.

01:55:33.140 And he's holding this impromptu press conference, which was, you would have never seen that.

01:55:38.980 Never.

01:55:39.440 Nobody does that.

01:55:40.520 Nobody does that.

01:55:41.280 And you wouldn't, you wouldn't see a fraction of that work out of this last administration

01:55:45.260 in a week.

01:55:46.300 Right.

01:55:46.760 I mean, it was early on, obviously they reversed all of Trump's work, but you know, it was

01:55:51.860 aside from that, how often was Joe Biden and Rehoboth laying on the beach?

01:55:55.840 Yeah.

01:55:56.600 Um, and now president Trump is getting to work and getting us back to where we were in an

01:56:01.120 even better place than where we were four years ago.

01:56:03.300 And at least we know who the president is now.

01:56:06.180 Yes.

01:56:06.580 You know, it was, you know, we know who the president is now.

01:56:09.460 We know that, uh, there are two genders now. 1.00

01:56:11.720 I mean, it's president Trump said it yesterday.

01:56:13.700 We're back to common sense.

01:56:15.400 So what do you think of the, um, uh, the press and just their survival rate?

01:56:23.900 I was watching CNN, uh, last night cause they weren't sharing Fox.

01:56:29.340 I know they weren't carrying Fox, uh, and I had nothing else.

01:56:32.840 Um, but I'm watching them and it's almost as if they're insane.

01:56:36.940 I mean, they are so riddled with derangement, um, and their hypnosis of themselves.

01:56:45.080 They, they just didn't make any sense at all.

01:56:47.900 It was so crazy to watch, but the rest of the world is watching, you know, um, and they're

01:56:55.080 seeing, uh, glimpses what they're allowed to see.

01:56:58.480 How does the, how does the mainstream media survive this period?

01:57:03.200 Cause they're not going to learn.

01:57:04.760 They're not going to learn, Glenn.

01:57:06.120 Um, I mean, you look at how Americans are tuning them out.

01:57:08.640 You look at some of the top, uh, talent at these networks that are having to, you know,

01:57:13.240 either take a massive cut in their salary or end up exiting and going out on their own.

01:57:17.860 Um, it's going to be really tough.

01:57:19.380 And you'd think, you know, common sense would say, oh, for the last four years, they had no

01:57:24.140 access, you know, they didn't get any transparency.

01:57:26.220 Um, they had nothing from this administration.

01:57:28.980 Now you've got a president that's ready to speak directly to you, you know, ask all the

01:57:33.060 questions you want.

01:57:33.940 He's ready to go in the lion's den with any network.

01:57:36.440 Um, so you would think they'd be grateful because not only, uh, do they have that access,

01:57:40.200 but it's great for the ratings when, when Trump is on.

01:57:42.840 Um, but I don't see them changing.

01:57:45.040 Um, I don't see them, you know, obviously reporting the truth, aligning with, you know,

01:57:49.720 the, the vision that president Trump has had and reporting on it accurately.

01:57:53.420 So I think we are going to see the shift more toward the podcast space, more toward the

01:57:58.140 work like you do, um, because Americans are fed up with it.

01:58:01.340 There was a poll out in December from AP that two thirds of Americans, uh, had to tune

01:58:05.720 out the media.

01:58:06.260 They were tired of, of politics and news because again, it was all lies.

01:58:10.180 And after that election, they said, wow, wow.

01:58:12.820 We were misled for how long.

01:58:14.800 Um, and the only time they actually changed their minds is when somebody actually, who

01:58:20.300 they used to love signs up and, and says, you know what, I'm going to stand with Donald

01:58:25.440 Trump.

01:58:25.700 Then they, that's the, that changes them overnight.

01:58:28.220 They hate those people.

01:58:29.900 What do you think about all of these people that are playing, you know, kissy butt with,

01:58:34.860 with Donald Trump that are all these executives, Bezos, uh, uh, Zuckerberg, everybody else.

01:58:42.120 Cause I mean, it's, I would just like to hear your opinion first.

01:58:45.920 I don't trust them, Glenn.

01:58:46.920 I don't trust them.

01:58:48.140 I hate to say that.

01:58:49.540 Um, you know, I know the president, uh, obviously has good judgment.

01:58:52.780 He's got a great team around him, but I really have a lot of concerns seeing some of these

01:58:57.720 individuals, knowing the things that they've said, the actions they've taken in the past

01:59:01.400 and suddenly because they're backed in a corner, they're, they're supporters, they're

01:59:05.000 fans of president Trump.

01:59:06.360 I know American people don't buy that.

01:59:07.880 Yeah.

01:59:08.040 Good.

01:59:08.320 I hope he doesn't buy that.

01:59:09.520 Nor does anybody else always remember their rattlesnakes.

01:59:12.660 They've just tucked their fangs back for a while, uh, but they will strike again, given

01:59:17.380 a chance.

01:59:18.080 Exactly.

01:59:18.480 I hope we remember that.

01:59:19.540 Thank you so much, Jen.

01:59:20.540 Thank you, Glenn.

01:59:21.120 Pleasure.

01:59:21.700 Great to see you.

01:59:22.300 Good work here.

01:59:22.940 Really good work.

01:59:23.760 Thank you so much.

01:59:24.420 Um, uh, if you'd like to find out more, just go to the website, America first policy.com

01:59:31.600 America first policy.com.

01:59:33.360 All right.

01:59:33.540 Back in just a minute.

01:59:34.360 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:59:36.060 Our sponsor is pre-born.

01:59:37.820 It is rarely good news when you're talking about the issue of abortion.

01:59:41.360 Uh, the overturning of Roe versus Wade was kind of the last major win, but here's some

01:59:45.620 the abortion pill reserve, uh, reversal treatment, which provides women with a second opportunity

01:59:51.740 to choose.

01:59:52.500 Uh, is saving lives.

01:59:56.140 I didn't even know this was possible, but the abortion pill now accounts for over 60%

02:00:01.620 of all abortions and Planned Parenthood would like it to go up to 95%. 0.98

02:00:06.040 This is why pre-born is so important.

02:00:08.700 In addition to what they're doing with free ultrasounds, they're also administrating this

02:00:12.120 protocol for women who have attempted abortion, but want it reversed.

02:00:16.540 Pre-born has rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion every day.

02:00:21.000 On average, they rescue about 200 more.

02:00:23.940 If you have the means, would you consider a gift of any size?

02:00:27.820 $28 will pay for an ultrasound, but you want to give a leadership gift to save babies in

02:00:32.520 a big way.

02:00:33.220 Your tax deductible donation of $5,000 is going to sponsor pre-borns entire network for 24

02:00:39.000 hours, helping rescue 200 babies.

02:00:41.960 The donate dial pound two 50, say the keyword baby that's pound two 50 keyword baby or donate

02:00:47.620 securely at pre-born.com slash back.

02:00:50.760 That's pre-born.com slash back sponsored by pre-born.

02:00:56.280 You want the truth unfiltered?

02:00:59.220 Pull up a chair, my friend.

02:01:01.400 You're in the right place.

02:01:03.860 This is Glenn Beck.

02:01:06.080 So we were just talking about how the media just never changes, but actually yesterday

02:01:27.320 they did change.

02:01:28.740 Here's the media four years ago when they were talking about how bad it is to pardon somebody's

02:01:34.660 family members.

02:01:36.140 Have you ever heard of somebody getting a preemptive pardon who was innocent of all crime?

02:01:41.960 Who's just an innocent person?

02:01:43.540 Have you ever heard of that?

02:01:44.420 Just somebody getting a blanket pardon and they're an innocent person.

02:01:47.620 But no, it's the president's own family.

02:01:51.260 It's people that have been covering up for the president in addition to his own family.

02:01:56.400 Is there an innocent explanation for someone to seek preemptive pardons for family members?

02:02:04.540 Would you do that if you knew you were innocent and just worried about outside forces?

02:02:12.940 The answer to that is going to be no.

02:02:16.740 If you haven't done anything wrong, you sit there and go, what do you need a preemptive pardon for?

02:02:21.580 If he pardons people preemptively, he's essentially telling the public that these people have committed

02:02:27.980 crimes and we may not be aware of what they are, but the pardon is clear evidence that crimes

02:02:34.000 have been committed.

02:02:34.800 I imagine if he decides to issue these preemptive pardons, it will be cast in a way that he is

02:02:40.720 protecting his family and protecting their reputations from, you know, villainous exterior

02:02:46.260 forces that are against him.

02:02:47.740 First off, we should just take a deep breath and acknowledge the audacity of a president

02:02:53.980 who's so clearly concerned about his own criminal culpability and that of his family members

02:03:00.180 that pardons are a major obsession with him.

02:03:03.000 The idea of a kind of prospective pardon, this sort of permanent federal get out of jail

02:03:08.220 free card, that seems to be what we're talking about in the case of this, right, with Giuliani

02:03:12.740 and his three eldest children who, as far as we know, have not been convicted of a crime.

02:03:17.880 Maybe they've committed a lot and they don't want to face action.

02:03:21.740 I don't know.

02:03:22.420 It's weird.

02:03:23.040 I wouldn't ask for a pardon.

02:03:24.260 I don't think I deserve one because I don't think I've done anything criminal.

02:03:27.960 This is Glenn Beck.
