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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:13:48.300
that's that's like a 2015 speech i think he got rid of that one by 2016 even
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
00:16:56.940
storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do but we still live in crazy times
00:17:02.480

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
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
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
00:21:48.580
reputation okay yeah at some level well they're not going to jail that's for sure they're doing
00:21:54.820
everything they can to not prosecute them but let me ask you this where is the pardon for those of us
00:22:00.780
who told the truth where is that right we're we were demonetized we were put on uh lists to suppress
00:22:06.920
our information we were put on lists to discredit us we were banned for using words like lab leak
00:22:13.440
uh we were we were put on uh lists because we said i'm not sure you can trust this vaccination
00:22:22.440
the mask thing is wrong etc etc we were shut down and mark zuckerberg was fighting with you the entire
00:22:29.520
time that's right you oh my god we were yeah right we were discredited we paid a very very high price
00:22:36.180
for standing up and telling you the facts that were verified by doc by documents where's our pardon

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

i believe it is which is the uh international uh holocaust remembrance day and the fellowship is

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
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
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
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
00:37:44.880
have a big enough boot to put up their ass um and you know that that should have had something to do
00:37:50.440
with cozy earth but it doesn't i was just saying some people might have said maybe we get them
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
00:38:06.540
from cozy earth that would have been perfect cozy earth's bedding pajamas bath products they are
00:38:11.840
designed specifically for you the products are soft and breathable made with the highest quality
00:38:17.280

00:38:59.360

00:39:07.540
cozy earth.com slash beck you ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil guess they're more
00:39:18.980
worried about the meaning of the word retarded than the word work glenn beck we'll be right back
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
00:42:49.680
why hello america welcome to the glenn beck program from the nation's capital
00:42:59.020
which was fumigated uh and aired out just a bit yesterday uh and uh we're excited to be here
00:43:06.100
day number two of the uh new trump administration we give you all the details of what happened
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
01:03:27.100
all right let me tell you about rough greens remember the good old days when dogs were just pets
01:03:34.480

01:03:39.200

01:03:45.560
you get snotty dogs and they're like i'm not gonna eat that i want nutrition when do they get that

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
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
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
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
01:18:30.780
alan thank you so much appreciate it god bless you great talking to you you too thanks you bet all right

right away looking for a home like yours but you also need somebody that knows not just how to sell
01:19:20.600
a house but how to buy a house and get you into the right one and that requires an agent that listens

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.
01:24:35.800
I follow her online and I find her her bat crap, crazy Britain updates to be really entertaining.
01:24:46.540
And I don't know, kind of helps me get through some hard days from time to time.
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.
01:25:10.480
She is, as she said, she's, you know, she's a cow.
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.
01:25:23.480
But something happened to her here in America that set her off.
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.
01:26:21.540
There are consequences for everything that we have done.
01:26:27.140
Hoping that things just get better is not a strategy.

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.
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.
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.
01:28:13.820
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.
01:28:37.960
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.
01:29:17.940
And anyway, I came to pay my bill because I need to get home and get ready to go out.
01:30:03.940
You know, of what this day really means to everybody.
01:30:15.720
And I know I probably could have drunk less wine over the last two days.
01:30:20.580
And certainly, I've still got this bloody b**** hat on.
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.
01:30:48.500
And his mum is getting, his mum's getting her son back.
01:30:56.240
I just, oof, all of a sudden, I think I've been celebrating so hard.
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.
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.
01:31:45.260
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.
01:32:14.300
And it's a lot bigger than my little hearts could comprehend.
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.
01:32:49.100
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.
01:33:28.620
And I hear this all the time from people over in Europe and people in England that the world is watching us.
01:33:41.320
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.
01:33:55.240
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.
01:34:15.140
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.
01:34:26.780
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.
01:35:07.220
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,
01:35:24.520
Now it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not final victory.
01:35:52.760
And it, uh, hopefully it's just beginning, right?
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.
01:36:10.020
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?
01:36:23.320
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.
01:36:49.960
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.
01:37:01.360
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.
01:37:24.000
The global elites have taken control of our countries and America is the, the first big
01:37:35.940
And it's not going to leave you and your country behind Canada.
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.
01:37:57.380
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.
01:38:13.900
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.
01:38:32.500
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.
01:38:42.140
No, I remember exactly their GPS, but they're all waterlogged.
01:38:48.640
I dropped them in an accidentally a watertight box, which went to the lake and you were able
01:38:53.820
I was able to retrieve them yesterday, right after the election, but you were in D.C.
01:38:58.840
Well, did it happen in the river right out here?
01:39:09.180
Now I never learned, lost my Burna launcher, uh, because it's non-lethal and therefore not
01:39:14.720
Uh, you know, you need to take somebody dangerous out in a situation.
01:39:21.880
You know, you could just hit them with tear gas and put them down on the ground for about,
01:39:26.400
So you can get a Burna launcher and those things never are lost in boating accidents.
01:39:32.440
I hope I don't lose them again in the next four years, but anyway, non-lethal alternative
01:39:38.540
It is legal in all 50 States with no permits or background checks required, and it can be
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
01:40:03.580
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.
01:40:40.360
Uh, what was your favorite executive order yesterday, Glenn?
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?
01:41:12.620
And it also kind of sends this message to the rest of the world of like, we aren't going
01:41:18.140
You know, we are not, we're not here to entertain you.
01:41:23.040
It's like one of the phrases I always hate is, uh, the phrase, uh, you want to make sure
01:41:28.680
And like, no, I don't like my, my goal is not to be on the right side of history.
01:41:35.100
History has all sorts of back and forth and they remember things positively and negatively
01:41:44.680
Whether my history in 50 years or 150 years says I'm wrong or not, I want to be right.
01:41:52.500
The people who were the abolitionists felt like they were on the wrong side of history.
01:41:57.380
You believe that black people shouldn't be slaves.
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.
01:42:10.940
And I think the message we're sending to the whole world and to the country.
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.
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?
01:42:25.140
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.
01:42:35.700
I wish the January 6th hadn't come with a pardon for, you know, Joe Biden pardon for all the
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,
01:42:57.080
And I think in a way, I, I obviously want these, if someone committed a crime, I want them held
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.
01:43:12.820
And I think that just like everything they're doing right now, they're so desperate and
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
01:43:42.940
Um, I, I can't help, but think, ah, you know, don't, don't, don't, don't cry your eyes
01:43:50.860
Uh, because while it's, it's setting a bad precedent, I don't think that, uh, it's always
01:44:00.020
I think it's going to kind of come back at them like the 2020 election did, you know,
01:44:12.740
What do you think about the, the government only recognizing two genders?
01:44:22.020
I was going to say, I can't believe we need it.
01:44:25.960
And, and that was another one of these things where I thought of people overseas that how
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.
01:44:43.200
Now these things have to have got to start making a difference in the average everyday
01:44:48.460
Uh, and, uh, we could have a very long run of common sense.
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
01:45:23.400
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
01:45:36.780
Well, if you're a homeowner, you might want to work on ways to get out from underneath
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.
01:45:59.540
It's American financing, call Americanfinancing.net at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
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
01:46:44.380
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
01:47:30.300
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
01:48:06.300
I mean, it was the start of a dark time in this country, the dark winter as Joe Biden called
01:48:11.660
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
01:48:25.400
And it's amazing to see how that, that transformed where we are.
01:48:30.140
And I know, you know, uh, it's happened with every president, but this is the first time
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
01:48:55.120
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
01:49:14.440
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.
01:49:33.540
And I think so many Americans watching that, they said, we're, we're, we're done, you know,
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
01:50:02.460
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.
01:50:13.020
Well, I mean, I know the history, but the white house correspondents, um, they control
01:50:22.180
We should, we should, I'll tell you as when I was a white house correspondent during the
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
01:50:49.220
When, you know, the Trump administration said, we want you in there to report.
01:50:56.060
Um, they, they tried to all, what do you mean 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
01:51:09.920
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
01:51:44.000
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
01:52:02.820
You know, you should be able to call on the people that people are actually listening
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
01:52:21.200
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.
01:52:30.680
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
01:53:00.660
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.
01:53:14.340
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
01:53:25.360
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.
01:53:40.500
I mean, you look at Jen Psaki, some say she did all right when peddling the lies.
01:53:44.780
Um, but KJP just, you know, was buying into it and thought we did too.
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.
01:53:59.660
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.
01:54:15.580
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?
01:54:34.480
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
01:54:53.420
Uh, when you look at this new cabinet and you look at other staffers, um, in the, in the
01:54:58.160
So I think that they're going to be ready to get to work.
01:55:02.640
You know, he said in one of his rally speeches, yeah, somebody told me to kind of release these
01:55:08.780
And he said, heck I will, you know, we're getting to work today because that's what the American
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
01:55:33.140
And he's holding this impromptu press conference, which was, you would have never seen that.
01:55:41.280
And you wouldn't, you wouldn't see a fraction of that work out of this last administration
01:55:46.760
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?
01:55:56.600
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.
01:56:06.580
You know, it was, you know, we know who the president is now.
01:56:11.720
I mean, it's president Trump said it yesterday.
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.
01:56:47.900
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?
01:57:06.120
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.
01:57:19.380
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.
01:57:28.980
Now you've got a president that's ready to speak directly to you, you know, ask all the
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.
01:57:45.040
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
01:58:06.260
They were tired of, of politics and news because again, it was all lies.
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
01:58:25.700
Then they, that's the, that changes them overnight.
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.
01:58:49.540
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
01:59:09.520
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
01:59:24.420
Um, uh, if you'd like to find out more, just go to the website, America first policy.com
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
01:59:56.140
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%.
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.
02:00:23.940
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
02:00:33.220
Your tax deductible donation of $5,000 is going to sponsor pre-borns entire network for 24
