On today's show, Glenn Beck talks about the government shutdown, the dangers of pepper spray and tear gas, and how to stand your ground when things get dark. Glenn Beck is joined by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (D-VA) to discuss the latest in the pipe bomb investigation.
00:02:43.940Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
00:02:56.940The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:07:58.280What we have learned and then the premise that we went on in the previous two years that I was investigating is that these pipe bombs were placed in the evening of January 5th.
00:08:09.120And so everyone was going off of that premise.
00:08:11.680And of course, I reached out to the FBI several times during that time period.
00:08:18.060Of course, the Biden administration were not they were not forthcoming with information.
00:08:22.120Basically, they always use this excuse.
00:08:41.080And let me give you credit, because you brought this up on a show I was doing with you over a year ago, that the pipe bombs had a 60 second egg timer on them.
00:08:51.860So how could you place, I mean, a 60 minute egg timer, right?
00:09:01.420I talked to some bomb experts and they said, well, quite often that is an override.
00:09:06.300In other words, you have an electronic trigger that actually sets off the bomb, but you put the egg timer on to basically set it and it triggers the other trigger.
00:09:32.540The only timer was that 60 minute egg timer.
00:09:36.740So it's impossible that these pipe bombs were placed and armed on the night of January 5th.
00:09:44.340They had to be placed at some point, not long before they were found on January 6th, because a lady that lives close by to the one that was placed by the Republican National Committee and her testimonies, which have been consistent.
00:10:01.760She said there were still 20 minutes left on the egg timer when she found it.
00:11:03.340FirstNet was created by Congress after 9-11 to preempt cell service for law enforcement.
00:11:12.000So they only serve law enforcement first responders.
00:11:15.560So in a time of emergency, their calls take priority.
00:11:20.580So FirstNet actually sits on the AT&T backbone.
00:11:25.100Now, for some reason, and this is where my suspicion started growing, is when the FBI contacted AT&T, gave them a preservation letter, said, save all of this data specifically around the areas where the pipe bombs were.
00:11:39.740Because they have to go through the legal mumbo-jumbo to actually get the subpoena.
00:11:44.120So they don't want stuff to disappear.
00:11:46.260They send a letter telling AT&T to preserve the data.
00:11:49.380AT&T responds and says you have to go to FirstNet to get this data.
00:13:25.340Is it, and probably likely to an extent, the FBI?
00:13:28.280So we're going to be requesting more information from the FBI as far as details of their investigation.
00:13:39.560And, you know, what the FBI had claimed, the Biden FBI, was, well, obviously the person who placed the pipe bomb, their data was in that AT&T set that got corrupted.
00:13:51.080I'm still having an issue with the corruption.
00:14:49.080But my understanding is no, just the area around the pipe bomb.
00:14:52.380And it was very precise data that would actually give you the distance from the cell tower.
00:14:59.200So this is what we're, you know, kind of dealing with is you got to go off of some kind of premise.
00:15:05.600Well, we've learned who claimed to have corrupted the data.
00:15:11.800And what they're saying is they were in such a hurry to download it before it automatically deleted, that it overloaded the server and the server corrupted all the data.
00:15:23.200I'm thinking somebody needs some better servers if that's the case.
00:15:45.660And also, is there a chance that this was some sort of a training exercise or these were training exercise bombs?
00:15:53.220Well, that is something I've recently brought up is when you look at the lab report from the FBI, and we're looking a little deeper in that lab report, too.
00:16:02.140It never does use the word, as you said, the word viable.
00:16:05.820It does say that there were explosive components in it, but it never says that it was enough to cause a massive explosion.
00:16:16.120And so from my time in the military, we did a lot of different training exercises.
00:16:21.280And if you're going to do a real training exercise, you made things as realistic as possible.
00:16:26.160I mean, I remember when I was in the Air Force, we had a simulated attack on our base.
00:16:31.420We literally had jets flying overhead shooting blanks, right?
00:16:35.620You try to make them as realistic as possible, especially for an exercise like this.
00:16:40.340You want a device that looks like a bomb, and it smells like a bomb for a bomb-sniffing dog.
00:16:49.480We have video of the Secret Service with a bomb-sniffing dog walking literally within feet of where the bomb supposedly was placed the night before and never hits on anything.
00:16:59.240So if it was, which makes me think, if it is a training exercise, if it is a training exercise, the bomb wasn't there when the dog was walking by, or he should have hit on it.
00:17:15.520So there's more questions than answers, but at least we have a direction to go.
00:17:21.580So I think there is a possibility that these were, whether it was a training exercise or somebody just used training-type devices to put out there.
00:17:30.920But if you go back and you look at the videos we released a year ago, law enforcement were letting people just walk by these devices.
00:17:39.800There's one video of a guy in a suit walking within feet of the robot that's about to destroy the device.
00:17:46.360That makes no sense, unless somebody knew they weren't viable.
00:17:49.620So, okay, Barry, let me take a one-minute break.
00:20:47.640So, the idea was let's just extend the current funding that had been passed on a huge bipartisan basis that all the Democrats voted for the same bill back in March.
00:20:58.940Let's extend it out into November to give us a little bit more time to try to finish the process appropriately and have more time for negotiating some of these issues.
00:21:09.520That's all it is, is giving us more time to the middle of November.
00:21:12.900But the Democrats saw this as an opportunity to undo some of Trump's policy.
00:21:18.480They never expected Republicans because traditionally, it's hard for us to unify.
00:21:27.200We got this big, beautiful bill through.
00:21:30.640We got his rescissions package through.
00:21:33.040We got things that I've been wanting to do since I've been in Congress.
00:21:38.060And they saw this as an opportunity to undo some of that, including giving government subsidies, taxpayers' money, taking the money out of hardworking Americans' pockets, and give it to people who aren't even supposed to be in this country.
00:21:53.480That is the premise, that is the premise, that is the premise, that is the main portion of what they want to do, as well as $1.3 billion or $1 trillion of new spending.
00:22:03.580I mean, this is, it's egregious what they're wanting.
00:22:07.180And if they want that, that's what this time period's supposed to be for negotiating it.
00:22:15.000They never expected Republicans to be unified.
00:22:17.100And President Trump, as he's doing exactly what I have advocated in the past, is when you go into these shutdowns, what is furloughed is what's considered non-essential employees.
00:22:32.200My question has always been, why do we have people working for the federal government that aren't essential to the core constitutional purpose of the federal government?
00:22:40.140So he's saying, this is the time to just go ahead and lay these people off.
00:22:45.320And so this is, that's kind of where we are.
00:22:48.800I mean, you're not, and in the past, like when we went to shutdown under Obama, the executive branch, the president gets to determine what programs are scuttled, which ones are shut down.
00:23:02.520And Obama decided, let's make the cuts that's most painful to the American people.
00:23:49.220And then suddenly your gutters are a wet, rotting sponge, and your roof is swampy, and you just know there's going to be damage to your house somewhere.
00:23:56.120You could climb a ladder and battle the leaf tsunami with a handful of gloves and shameful determination, or you could just call Leaf Filter.

00:25:49.740Barry is a good friend of the program and a great, great American patriot who is working hard in Washington to try to get answers on January 6th.
00:25:59.580And some of this weaponization stuff, we just were talking to him about that.
00:26:03.840But I picked up, Barry, I wish somebody would have sent this book to me personally.
00:27:31.320And I've been told he's been reading it.
00:27:33.380So tell me, tell the audience, the arc of the book, the reason why you wrote it and tell some of the stories in it.
00:27:42.520Well, the reason is we're going into the 250th anniversary of our country.
00:27:48.300And as our good friend, David Barton, speaks of all the time, this is the longest any government like this has ever existed, far beyond what anyone anticipated it would.
00:27:59.900And people are wondering, with all this going on, how can we go any longer?
00:28:03.580Can we go another 10, 20, or 250 years?
00:28:09.660If we go back and look at what sustained us for the first 250 and repeat that.
00:28:16.360And our founders spoke openly and regularly about God's acts of divine providence, especially during the Revolutionary War.
00:28:25.420And, I mean, even George Washington's first act as president was to declare a National Day of Thanksgiving in prayer, acknowledging all of those acts of providence.
00:28:34.820Most people today can't tell you one, two, or three of those acts, even though there are several books about acts of providence during the time of the Revolutionary War.
00:28:46.600But God's providence didn't end there.
00:28:48.860It continued throughout our history, and I could not find any books on this.
00:28:52.860And these are stories my dad, a World War II veteran, had told me that he had learned.
00:28:59.180And so I spent actually 10 years of research to make sure that everything in this book is well-documented and factual.
00:29:07.220And it spans from 1746 up into the 20th century, the Apollo 8 space mission, of moments in history that are clearly, undeniably, the outcome was a result of prayer, as well as the courage of the people who were involved.
00:29:24.700And, I mean, there's several stories in there that just are, my daughter asks me all the time, what's your face?
00:29:34.760Let's start with Apollo 8, and then tell me something that happened in World War II.
00:29:40.420So, with the Apollo 8 mission was the first time that we were leaving the gravitational pull of Earth and orbiting the Moon.
00:29:49.080It was a huge advancement for the United States.
00:29:53.780And one of the things that the crew realized is they were going to, first of all, they were going to do a broadcast as they were orbiting the Moon, and it was going to be on Christmas Day.
00:30:04.640And they also were advised, when you have that broadcast, whatever you say is going to be heard around the world,
00:30:12.180because it was going to be the largest watched television story ever.
00:30:19.540And so they really struggled with what they were going to say.
00:30:25.500One was the commander was supposed to pray at his church on that weekend, but because they accelerated the timeframe of their mission, he wasn't able to be there to read Scripture and to pray.
00:30:39.720So he had his prayer recorded as they were orbiting the Moon and played at his church, and it's a tremendous prayer.
00:30:48.780But the rest of the crew surprised the entire world, because when it came time for them to give this broadcast, they read the Genesis story, the first six verses out of the book of Genesis.
00:31:07.040And then NASA faced lawsuits as a result of what they're doing.
00:31:12.280But these were people, these are the types of people that knew this was the opportunity to get America to reflect back on what has sustained us as a country.
00:31:49.980They're stuck in France because of bad weather.
00:31:53.120Over in Holland, you've got tremendous snows.
00:31:56.500And that's where my dad was during World War II.
00:31:59.660And so with his frustration, he calls his chaplain, Patton does, and he says, do we have an official army prayer for good weather for battle?
00:32:30.020If you have pastors preach that monologue he gives his chaplain today as he's teaching his chaplain about the power of the prayer, I mean, you'd be amazed with the impact we would have from the churches.
00:32:42.980But he talks about how prayer is so powerful.
00:32:45.540It's like plugging into a live electric circuit to get things done.
00:32:49.200But one of the things he tells his chaplain, and this is where the title of the book comes from, he said, there are three things that we do to achieve victory.
00:33:02.520He says planning is when we sit down and we lay out an entire battle plan.
00:33:07.500The working is the training where we prepare the soldiers for battle.
00:33:10.600But what really decides the difference between victory and defeat is that void between those.
00:33:17.660And that void, if it's filled with prayer, that's what makes the difference for victory.
00:33:23.260And so when you look at what they did, and this was preceding the Battle of the Bulge, our founders, they would plan, they would prepare for battle, and then they prayed.
00:33:35.920And that's what made all the difference.
00:33:38.080And in this case, Patton made, printed 250,000 little cards that had this prayer on it.
00:33:47.140And they distributed those to every soldier in the 3rd Army.
00:33:51.920And those prayer cards arrived right after Patton had been mobilized to relieve Bastogne that had been surrounded by Nazis during the Battle of the Bulge.
00:34:03.780And amazingly, within 24 hours after those prayer cards landed, the weather unexpectedly changed.
00:34:29.440I can't remember if it's Life magazine.
00:34:31.960It's one of those older magazines that did a spread on this back in the 1940s after the war.
00:34:38.120And it was crediting as a source one of the main guys that was with Patton.
00:34:45.840And he said that, you know, they had prepared, they had done, and then the storms and the rains and the snows and everything just bogged everything down.
00:34:59.740This is the story that I have, and I don't know if it's true or not.
00:35:02.360Patton went in to a church, and he was praying, and apparently the guy who was the source of this one story said he was standing outside, and he was speaking to the Lord, and he was angry.
00:35:15.720And he was like, we've done everything, and we have prayed, and we need your help.
00:35:20.960We just need a day or two of this to stop.
00:35:27.040And he said he was very animated and a little bit cross.
00:35:31.800And then he left and asked to develop the prayer, et cetera, et cetera.
00:35:37.520And then after the rains stopped, they went in.
00:35:41.320Because the rains and the snows stopped, they could move the tanks and all the equipment, and they won.
00:35:47.400And he said in this article from Life magazine years ago that Patton actually went back to that same church and begged for forgiveness for a moment of passion and thanked God.
00:36:03.760I believe it is because we found information about that.
00:36:08.800And it was his initial experience, his praying in that chapel, that church, he somewhat references it in his speech because that's when he realizes that the advancement that they had made so far from landing at D-Day all the way into France, he said, is because our families and the people back home are praying for us.
00:36:33.680And he says, but that is no longer enough.
00:36:36.940We have to have every soldier in the Third Army praying now.
00:36:41.160And that was as a result of his prayer in the chapel as he realized we need more prayer.
00:36:49.060Barry, I can't believe the providential timing of your book.
00:36:54.140I mean, I know you released it this summer, but I think the time for it to really show its face is right now.
00:37:00.720I think because of the unfortunate death of Charlie Kirk, the assassination of our good friend, I believe we are in the beginning of what could be, if we maintain it, a real revival.
00:37:14.880Because I know nothing will save us except God.
00:37:20.760And if we turn back to him, we recognize him, we praise him, we humble ourself, and we pray for his help, the Lord will save us again.
00:37:30.020Whether we deserve it or not, he will extend his grace.
00:37:33.860And I just think your book is so providentially timed.
00:38:45.860I mean, I've been through more than most people I have to go through during their life.
00:38:49.420And one thing my dad used to tell me is, he said, look, son, if you're going through something that's bad, a tribulation, it could be a good thing.
00:38:59.840Because he said, look, before we landed on the beaches of Normandy, when we were training in England, the Nazis weren't shooting at us.
00:39:08.060When we got on the ships, they weren't shooting at us.
00:39:09.740When we got on the Higgins boats and just left the ship, they weren't shooting at us.
00:39:12.900It was when we started taking their ground is when they started shooting.
00:39:18.120And the closer we got, the more intense the fire was.
00:39:21.380He said, that's how you could tell where your target was, was how intense the fire was.
00:39:25.960So he said, look, if you're not being attacked, you need to consider maybe you're not a threat to the enemy or you're over the wrong target.
00:39:33.120But if you are, it could be a sign that you're doing the right thing and you're taking ground.
00:39:37.480And I think that's where we are right now.
00:39:39.020But we have to be equipped to know it is this very thing, prayer, that has sustained us for 250 years against all odds.
00:39:50.260And I really want to reach out to you in the next couple of days and talk to you about doing the voice work for this because I just, I believe in it so much.
00:42:42.900I liked them when they were, all they were doing was bringing home, you know, 100% American beef and chicken and pork and fish to people's homes.
00:42:49.700Ensuring that they were getting the best quality of meat they could get.
00:42:53.440That was really all they needed to do to earn my love and respect.
00:42:56.080But that wasn't good enough for good ranchers.
00:43:00.680This fall, they're giving away Thanksgiving ham every single week just for posting a photo of your Thursday night dinner with your family on Instagram.
00:43:08.500Use the hashtag back to the table and tag at good ranchers.
00:43:13.980Thousands of my listeners already have made the switch to good ranchers.
00:43:17.140And once you've experienced the quality, convenience and meaning that it brings back to mealtime, you'll understand why.
00:44:49.620We have a epidemic of loneliness, and I want to talk about that coming up in 60 seconds.
00:44:54.640Actually, give me 120 because I don't want to be interrupted.
00:44:56.900So let me just take care of a couple of light bills here.
00:44:59.800Sometimes it feels like your best days have to wait their turn while interest and fees have a claim on your life.
00:45:05.320Take the things that you do every day.
00:45:07.860Just take some business, fix a roof, save for college.
00:45:11.060Makes them feel like insane luxuries at sometimes not everyday choices.
00:45:15.160But American financing does something simple and rare.
00:45:17.880They shorten the distance between where you are and where you'd like to be.
00:45:21.300And their consultants are not selling you alone.
00:45:23.460They're unlocking options and putting them into plain English, showing you how a turn, an easy turn, can take your tangle of bills and put them into a single manageable plan.
00:45:34.900Or how a refi could make that monthly payment not feel like a stranglehold on you.
00:45:40.460Please call American financing at 800-906-2440.
00:46:38.340I have, I have, I've got to get some back surgery done.
00:46:41.700And so it's kind of up at a really, really high level right now.
00:46:46.660But the pain that I felt that, that inflammation was causing me for years, I started taking relief factor and it made my life manageable on most days.
00:49:18.640I'm living a future that it might be, you know, perhaps like you, a life well spent, but everybody spread all over the country.
00:49:28.300And you have a ton of time on your hands alone.
00:49:31.280And that plays games with your head, doesn't it?
00:49:37.400Loneliness is a strange thing because it's not just the absence of people.
00:49:42.040You can be surrounded by people, packed, shoulder to shoulder on a subway, hearing their laughter through the apartment walls, feeling the vibration of life all around you.
00:49:52.360And yet it's like you're sealed inside of a glass room that nobody else can see into.
00:58:38.460Feel somebody's hand, their shoulder, whatever it is.
00:58:42.820That connection, that love, that meaning that we all search for.
00:58:48.040And every time we reach for someone, every time we put those lies behind us, every small act of defiance like that against those whispers, you are punching a hole in the glass wall that's all around you.
00:59:07.980We need to tell each other, you're not as alone as you think you are.
00:59:21.460Nobody wants to say it out loud, but we're all alike.
00:59:26.120We just have different things that are going on in our life, different things we're ashamed of.
00:59:31.540That is the thing that will break the spell.
00:59:38.760Understanding that we are all alike, that we're not that unique.
00:59:43.660It's so weird because we are all individuals and we all are unique and we all have our own talents and our own gifts and our own role to play.
00:59:52.180That does not duplicate, I can't duplicate you and you can't duplicate me because we're all unique, but then again, we're all exactly the same.
01:00:04.740It's this weird thing that, but once you get your arms around that, once you realize I'm not different, we all feel these things.
01:00:17.000We all have something inside of us that we're afraid of in some way or another.
01:20:56.260When you choose a phone company, you're choosing a partner, not just a signal, but for the kind of community you want to help build.
01:21:01.880And Patriot mobile isn't about politics for politics, it's about building an alternate ecosystem, companies, charities, local efforts that actually reinvest in the values that you care about.
01:21:11.740Support for veterans, support for veterans, first responders, faith-based outreach, and free speech.
01:21:16.220It means your service bill does more than just pay for minutes.
01:21:20.140It helps sustain, sustain organizations doing the work you can believe in.
01:27:44.820This all plays into the hands of Alberta.
01:27:49.280Alberta is much more like Texas than any other part of Canada.
01:27:53.440They have a lot in common with Texas, and they are now saying they want to break free of Canada, secession from Canada, and the Supreme Court has just laid out a way for them to actually do it legally.
01:28:08.500We have one of the attorneys on this to try to explain what's happening in Canada, how crazy it's getting, why it's getting this crazy.
01:28:16.900Keith Wilson joins me in just about 60 seconds, so stand by for that.
01:28:22.720Now, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:28:26.960I started this, I don't even know, 10 years ago, 12 years ago, and, you know, I've been around the block enough times to know good help when I see it, and I've seen what happens when you don't have good help, good advisors.
01:28:37.920And buying and selling a home is one of the largest decisions you'll ever make, and it merits people who understand more than just market listings.
01:28:44.720They need to understand you, your goals, where you want to be, why you want to be there, what kind of house you're actually looking for.
01:28:52.000This is why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.
01:28:53.900We found people with track records and integrity and the kind of honest, practical advice you rarely get when money is on the line.
01:29:00.800These real estate agents, we started with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and expanded from there.
01:29:07.160We looked for the same traits that was coming from the biggest sellers and the best sellers in the country.
01:29:13.360They're the top agents in your area that will work for you to get you the best outcome.
01:29:19.480So, if you're looking to buy or sell a home, whether it's across the street or across the country, please go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:29:27.260Let us give you a free list, a couple of names in your area that we feel are the best, and then you interview them.
01:30:29.180And the reality is, Jeff, we've just slipped very badly since the COVID mandates into a very authoritarian, dystopian-type phase like we're seeing in other countries.
01:30:43.200A few years ago, the leftist federal liberal government, they have a hate on for anything to do with guns and freedom and Christians and religion.
01:30:53.360And so they announced that they were going to start building a list of guns we're not allowed to have.
01:31:00.400They started with what they called assault-style rifles, which were really just scary-looking guns, anything that was black.
01:31:07.320Anyway, over the years, they've expanded that list now up to three or four hundred different models of hunting rifles, shotguns, sport shooting guns.
01:31:17.780And there's over 500,000 guns that are now illegal.
01:31:53.740We're about the same size and landmass as Texas.
01:31:56.880And our origins are actually from Texans and people from the Dakotas and Wyoming after the Civil War moving up here and doing cattle drives.
01:33:11.500They hate our sense of freedom, our belief in property rights and the rule of law and all those things that doesn't abide with the new progressive leftist Marxists.
01:33:22.400So our province is like a state, the province of Alberta.
01:33:26.940So we have a premier, which is like a governor, and our premier, Premier Smith, has been very adamant that the police forces in Alberta are not to cooperate with the federal government when they come for the gun grab.
01:33:41.480She's done some other really interesting legal things, like said that the federal officials will have to get a seizure permit from our attorney general.
01:33:53.160And she says, she jokes, she has it on good authority that our attorney general won't be issuing them.
01:33:59.060But, I mean, it will come to a head at some point.
01:34:03.860I don't know where it's going to go, but it's part of a pattern of many other events up here in Canada that have led to so many Albertans to say, we want out of here.
01:34:16.380We want to be like Canada once was, true, north, strong, and free.
01:34:23.160Okay, so that is just terrifying, really terrifying.
01:34:29.160Because, you know, especially with all that oil, no country wants to let that go.
01:34:36.120Do you think the rest of Canada will just be cool with that?
01:34:40.360Yeah, well, you know, Alberta really has a unique culture.
01:34:47.340And, you know, there's great variety, as you know, variability in the culture of the United States.
01:34:53.400I've traveled extensively with my family over the years.
01:34:55.720You know, there's a great difference between the folks up in Connecticut and then there is the folks in Texas.
01:35:01.900But, you know, the rest of Canada primarily, our sister province to the east, it's called Saskatchewan, they're very much aligned with us on everything.
01:35:12.920And they not only have oil and gas, they also have the largest reserves of uranium in the world, as well as potash, which goes straight down into the farm fields of Iowa and so on.
01:35:24.940So, we're important strategically for the United States, and these two provinces are aligned.
01:35:31.980I think if Alberta votes to separate, Saskatchewan will come.
01:35:35.280But other parts of Canada, they're like, you know, they're like these blue states in the U.S., the hardcore Democrats.
01:35:41.640They think the most important thing to do is to display pride flags, and, you know, we started off with having Pride Week and LGBTQ stuff as a day, and then it became a week, and then it became a month, and it's a national celebration for a month.
01:36:01.880And all of these extremely progressive views, wide open immigration, our immigration numbers are out of control.
01:36:11.720So, their mindset in the rest of Canada is very much left-leaning, very much wanting government to look after everything, wanting government to care for every aspect of their life.
01:36:23.880Whereas those of us in the West, on the prairies, in Alberta and Saskatchewan, no, we don't think government's very good at doing much of anything.
01:37:32.360Alberta is the largest generator of wealth in our country through our oil and gas activities, our petrochemical, our refining, all of these things, our agriculture and so on.
01:37:43.600And we have this goofy thing in our constitution where if one province is doing well, we have to send our wealth to the provinces that aren't doing well notionally.
01:38:57.060The thing is the progressives, the lefties in the rest of the country seem to be really happy with this and want government to give them more.
01:39:07.020We have our notion of free health care.
01:39:09.220Now we have free dental notionally, free prescriptions and almost free daycare.
01:39:17.160Of course, the government can't deliver any of those things.
01:39:19.560They're all, you know, they're as real as Mickey Mouse.
01:39:24.480I would contender Mickey Mouse is realer than that.
01:39:28.240But the state of the mouse is very powerful, at least south of your border.
01:39:34.460The state department had a meeting, a second high level meeting in Washington, I think, on Monday.
01:39:44.720And our administration is eager to recognize Alberta as an independent state or country.
01:39:51.740Can you give me any insight on what is happening on this side of the border?
01:40:00.000And what does that mean with our relationship with the nut job parts of Canada?
01:40:07.780I received a briefing from that delegation yesterday.
01:40:10.340You know, I think the Trump administration is very concerned about what's happening in Canada.
01:40:17.280You know, we're your largest land border.
01:40:20.360You know, what's interesting to just a friend of mine, actually, one of the people involved in the Freedom Convoy protest is a retired army captain up here.
01:40:28.360And he explained to me that part of the defense doctrine for the United States post-Cold War is a concern about, you know, Russia and or China teaming up and coming, invading the United States from the north.
01:40:40.900So that would, invasion would come through Alberta, right?
01:40:50.640So Alberta is very important strategically as well.
01:40:53.700In fact, we have the most amount of military bases in Canada or in Alberta and the largest ones.
01:40:58.980So we're a very important strategic for a number of reasons.
01:41:03.880Also, geopolitically, look what just happened with our leftist ideological prime minister.
01:41:10.900Prime Minister Carney, he and his colleagues, Steimer and Macron and one other, unilaterally announced that they were going to recognize the state of Palestine at the same time that the Trump administration is making progress and trying to negotiate a peace deal.
01:41:29.300You know, the administration in Ottawa is doing a lot of things.
01:41:34.180There's so we have this Chinese corruption, political inference thing.
01:41:37.960The Chinese government has police stations.
01:41:40.580So there's a lot of things for the U.S. administration to be concerned about, about what's happening in Canada at many levels from many different lenses, as I've just described.
01:41:50.640Then you have Alberta, where our Supreme Court of Canada has said that if a province and the people of a province hold a province-wide referendum, a vote, and the vote is to leave Canada and become their own nation, that they can do so.
01:42:09.340Canada is unique in Canada and that we're the only democracy where the government, the Constitution, the courts have laid out a legal process for a region, a state, or a province to secede and become their own independent nation.
01:42:23.860And one of the critical steps in that process is international recognition.
01:42:28.820So my understanding from the meetings that have occurred, that the Trump administration officials have indicated that the U.S. would recognize a vote by the people of Alberta to become independent.
01:42:42.820So that's very important to us as we go into, we expect the vote to occur in 2026, sometime around this time next year.
01:42:51.740And I think, I think the Trump administration also recognizes you guys have right above your border in Montana, the third largest reserve of oil and gas in the world.
01:43:07.120Look at the power of that, the energy independence.
01:43:11.000It takes you from an energy superpower to a mega superpower.
01:43:15.520So, and then we're completely culturally aligned.
01:43:18.360And so I think there's a recognition and Canada's, the leftists in Ottawa are being global disruptors.
01:43:28.940They're helping build these governments with this anti-freedom, anti-Christian phenomena that we're seeing that I, it's hard to believe it's happening, but it is.
01:43:42.400So it's an encouraging fact that these discussions are occurring.
01:43:46.600So, Keith, um, please stay in touch with us, anything that we can do to, uh, help, but we, I want to make sure America understands, um, you know, the world that we are right on the brink of, of losing or, or changing, um, and how dangerous these times are.
01:44:04.720If we don't keep our, if we don't keep our level heads, uh, and, uh, I've been watching you with great, great interest on what's happening because, you know, if we have better access to culture wall, I am, I'm all for it.
01:44:35.540Uh, let me tell you about a leaf filter fall is coming and with it comes the same chore that you always promised to do next week, cleaning the gutters only next week becomes next month.
01:44:44.980And then next month becomes next year.

01:49:28.420We are not going to live in an environment everywhere, anywhere, where there is a street that belongs to a criminal, where there is a neighborhood that belongs to a gang, where there is any physical space anywhere that belongs to anyone other than the law-abiding citizens and families of Memphis.
01:49:46.840The idea that there is a square inch of block in this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable.
01:49:54.200This is Memphis, this is the United States of America, and all that is done.
01:50:37.900Should it not at least be, uh, you know, it should at least be the goal?
01:50:43.160Uh, one that you admit to and acknowledge, is it aspirational or reasonable to say there's no street in America that should belong to the mob or to, you know, gangs or whatever.
01:50:58.580You might say, you know, there's going to be crime, but there is no street that should be off limits and run by anybody else other than the elected representatives.
01:51:10.240I mean, first of all, both of us lived in near New Haven, Connecticut.
01:51:14.260Some streets should be run by the mob and they run, they're run very well.
01:51:28.100Like that should, it should not be overtaking a community.
01:51:31.240Like I went on a vacation, uh, this, this, uh, summer and I was in an area in Florida and I just remember just walking around thinking like, it doesn't seem like anything could possibly go wrong in this place.
01:51:41.380Like, you know, there are places like that in America.
01:51:44.600Turning major cities into those areas is not probably fully plausible.
01:52:01.420You should be able to, at the very least, Glenn, with, with approaches that we all know and understand, be able to reduce crime massively in these cities.
01:52:11.300It's only caring and resources to make that happen.
01:52:13.300We all know that we can stop crime largely if we put enough resources at it and actually care, throw enough resources at it and actually care.
01:52:21.040And that's what it seems to be that Stephen Miller and Trump are talking about.
01:52:24.660You know, I think, I think that's generally true, but I think what is really been lost is not caring, uh, as much as common sense.
01:52:38.100I mean, you can't, you can care all you want, but if you're not putting common sense into it, if you're not saying, oh, by the way, how do we stop crime?
01:53:22.840Um, and that one though, they're specifically in Portland talking about, um, uh, in Memphis, it's being welcomed as we've talked about by the governor in Portland.
01:53:31.780They're talking about protecting federal buildings, which is under, under their scope.
01:53:35.660Um, but it is a, it's a situation where, uh, any city could do this themselves.
01:53:41.000You don't need a federal response to hire a bunch of law enforcement officers to, to enforce the law.
01:53:50.200And that's what I'm talking about when I say people caring, right?
01:53:52.740It's about like these cities do the skid row thing, right?
01:53:57.180They just kind of like, oh, well, cordon off that area.
01:53:59.880I mean, like Chicago, you know, I've been to Chicago, you know, several times over the past few years when it's been a big topic of conversation.
01:54:07.100And each time I've been there, honestly, I haven't felt unsafe at all in Chicago.
01:54:11.460That's largely because I'm not going to any of the areas where all these murders are happening.
01:54:15.600Now, you know, I'm sure some of the crime obviously happens in the more tourist friendly areas, but like generally speaking, walking around the areas of Chicago where you would go, if you're just visiting to, you know, check out a baseball game or see a concert or whatever you might be doing.
01:54:30.980Most of that stuff seems completely fine in the city because they've gordoned off all the areas of violence to the, to the places that they don't care about.
01:54:38.900And, and I, you know, they, all the people on the left will say, what do you mean?
01:54:48.160If you actually do care about those people in lower income areas where all the crime is, I don't know, do something about it.
01:54:55.080Stop, stop trying to blame Donald Trump who lives thousands of miles away.
01:54:59.240Would you listen to a parent that said, I care about my children?
01:55:03.220I care deeply about my children, but then was hugging it out with everyone who is hurting your children, making your children unsafe, maybe killed one of your children, maybe raped one of your children.
01:55:16.060No, you, you, you would never, you would never assign, oh, that parent really loves his children.
