Glenn Beck and Ken Paxton discuss Iran and the latest in the Roe v. Roe vs. Wade case. Also, a new poll shows that support for gay marriage in the United States is on the decline in the polls.
00:00:19.140Also, this hour, we have the Attorney General of the state of Texas, Ken Paxton, with us to talk to us about the lawsuit that Texas is currently engaged in and the Trump administration has just joined that could overturn the entire Obamacare system.
00:00:44.700And the way I read it, it looks like John Roberts, because of the contortions that he went through to try to get that thing to hold together, it may actually now fall apart because of that.
00:05:34.500What they do want to do, the non-conventional things they do want to do is they want to use elements like the IRGC or Hezbollah or all the little Shia militias to harass,
00:05:42.920to do whatever they can to make it so economically painful in that area that they want to force us to the negotiating table.
00:05:51.180It's no coincidence that, you know, the Iran, they collaborated with the North Koreans to get their nuclear program up to speed.
00:05:58.720Now they are using the exact same strategy of, I'm the crazy guy.
00:08:26.820And then at the same time, we were helping the people on the streets of Poland through the church.
00:08:34.620And also, because we had a great ally in Margaret Thatcher, our operatives were also in helping those people organize and try to overthrow the government, which they did.
00:09:20.060They're going to use people like Hezbollah, groups like all their different militias in Iraq, for instance, that are going to get very, very close to, let's say, the U.S. Embassy, the Green Zone in Baghdad.
00:09:31.120They're going to get very, very close to U.S. troops in Syria.
00:09:33.740But if there's ever a—this is where it could change.
00:09:36.040If they mess up, if there is a loss of life between U.S. personnel, allied personnel, that's when this thing could escalate.
00:09:44.660They're playing a very, very dangerous game with this escalation.
00:09:47.780But as long as it doesn't, if it stays like it is now, like drones getting knocked out.
00:11:34.180I haven't heard him say anything publicly on it lately, but I think John Bolton plays perfectly into if this really is a strategy by by by President Trump.
00:11:44.820But I think it's genius to put a guy like John Bolton at the head of the Pentagon.
00:11:50.080It's absolutely genius because it plays into that unpredictability.
00:11:54.320Now, if it has no weight, if you have I don't know, you know, if you have a pacifist up in there, you can't play the doctrine of, look, you don't know what I'm going to do.
00:14:21.360Do you remember when John Bolton had that that that's supposed slip up when he had written when they're talking about Venezuela and it was written on the back.
00:14:29.340Like five thousand U.S. troops or whatever.
00:14:56.040Ever for him to walk in and have send five thousand troops to Venezuela on the back of a notebook that he's holding right directly towards the press is just ridiculous.
00:17:04.060So, Jason, let me ask you one more question about Iran, then I want to switch the subject.
00:17:21.760When it comes to Iran, how much do you think the elites, especially the religious council, actually believe in the 12th Amman and the destruction of Israel?
00:17:41.060How much do you think they actually believe that?
00:17:43.200I think that's the majority of the Mullahs.
00:17:45.380We know that's the Ayatollah, so all of their religious elite, and I think that's probably 95% of the IRGC, which is very, very dangerous.
00:17:55.180Okay, that's the Iranian Republican Guard, right?
00:18:48.960So imagine if we had—this is a great explanation, I think, a good conversation to have.
00:18:55.520If you want to understand Iran, imagine if we had our federal government, and then above the federal government, there was this group of religious fanatics.
00:19:08.940And I don't care what religion they were, but they believed—let's say they were Christians—and they believed they could hasten the return of Jesus.
00:19:20.240So they had an army of their own, and they had all of the tools at their disposal.
00:19:29.200So they could launch a nuke, if they wanted to, for their religious reasons.
00:19:34.920They could go round up people on the street for religious reasons.
00:19:39.300And the president and the Congress would have nothing to do with it, and if they really said anything bad about them, they would be rounded up and killed as well.
00:19:48.380And all of the politicians were vetted before they could even run by this religious council.
00:21:45.680I mean, that sounds like something we would have done as kids, maybe, but a porch pirate is somebody who goes and sees boxes on a porch and then steals them.
00:21:56.360Now, if you're caught doing that, at least in Texas, you're going to do serious time.
00:22:01.760But Texas is full of hanging judges, not the rest of the world.
00:22:05.080They're like, oh, but maybe he needed that box.
00:24:15.100A story that came out today from The Guardian, acceptance of gay sex is in decline in the U.K., the very first time since the AIDS crisis.
00:24:24.74030 years, this is a story, 30 years of increasingly liberal attitude towards gay sex may be coming to an end after the number of people who said they considered it wrong rose for the first time since the AIDS crisis.
00:24:37.620In 1987, when every household received somber leaflets warning, don't die of ignorance, nine out of ten people thought that there was something wrong with sexual relations between two adults of the same sex.
00:24:52.880This is during the height of the AIDS scare.
00:24:54.400Every year since then, tolerance has increased, but now the British Social Attitude Survey has found the number of people believing there is nothing wrong with gay sex has fallen, leaving a third of the population in some way opposed.
00:26:18.760Then the next year it was at 45 percent.
00:26:24.100Today, 36 percent of millennials are not comfortable when they learn a family member is homosexual.
00:26:31.800That's up from 29 percent just a year ago.
00:26:35.740Forty two percent of millennial males are uncomfortable learning their child has had a lesson on LGBT history at school or as a homosexual teacher.
00:27:36.940Not because they're homosexual, but because you don't know what their agenda is anymore.
00:27:44.120When we have when we have trans people coming in to the library and as we have seen recently are laying on top of these trans people and reading them stories, you kind of say, what the hell is going on?
00:28:01.320Why does my six year old or seven year old have to go through this?
00:28:25.120And maybe I didn't notice it, but I'm pretty sure this is new.
00:28:30.120The number of guys on stage from Oz that were dressed as women where they were wearing the the the jacket of the men, all the men and all the women were dressed similarly.
00:28:43.660OK, but the there were some men that were wearing dresses and then they had the male jacket on top and they were clearly males.
00:38:17.660Is Texas doing enough to stop this themselves?
00:38:21.540So Texas, from what I can see, we have a legislature that has put, I think, over $600 million every biennium into border control, border security.
00:38:32.920However, we can only do so much with that.
00:42:52.460So Andrew and I were just talking a minute ago about Google and and YouTube and the silencing of conservative voices online.
00:42:59.260They're manipulating their algorithms and as we get closer and closer to the election, we know they're going to be doing it more and more voices are disappearing.
00:43:10.180But I want to talk to you about something that is connected in a way to this companies like Verizon and AT&T are taking the proceeds from your mobile phone bill and they are funding progressive candidates and causes.
00:43:30.700Now, in the old days before before technology was working for us as well as against us, we would have said, well, I'm going to boycott Verizon and AT&T.
00:43:42.500And you never would have because you need your phone service.
00:43:45.020But now there's Patriot Mobile and they have the same they're on the same cell tower.
00:43:51.060So you're going to get the same service.
00:44:08.140Not only the same, if not better service, you also are going to save money and you're not only not going to give money to Planned Parenthood and do business with people who are working against you, you're going to be you're going to be getting a great service from people who are working with you to protect freedom of speech.
00:44:28.320Just in the last couple of years, they've already spent about two million dollars to protect freedom of speech.
00:44:33.720This is Patriot Mobile, started by a bunch of veterans, you know, who just couldn't take it anymore.
00:45:30.440You're killing me with the with the thing about about the de-platforming and the in the Patriot Mobile and all that, because, you know, we've been doing this forever.
00:45:40.020And I think these companies and the activist groups they work with know that we go on the air every day and say, you know, private companies and capitalism.
00:45:53.420And they've they've they've they've they've they've they've played on that for so long, for so long that they have gotten away with this because we've been like capitalism, private property.
00:47:08.480They zeroed in their their scopes and they got us that we they knew that we would stick by our principles because we're always talking about principles.
00:47:17.260We're always talking about, you know, not being like the left or imitating the left or trying to do what the left does.
00:47:23.260And they said, where are our friends on the left?
00:47:49.220The minute you start editing content, you're a publisher, which means you're going to have to deal with all the lawsuits and the litigation that come your way.
00:47:59.140As a platform, you're protected from all of that.
00:48:03.020Their stock price would go to about three bucks overnight if they if the government took their platform status away from them and charge them with you are now a publisher and you get all of the fun stuff that comes along with that.
00:48:20.000That would change their dynamics overnight.
00:48:24.840Our one of our colleagues, Dennis Prager, is going to be speaking before the Senate subcommittee chaired by Ted Cruz on this.
00:48:32.340And President Trump is now really paying attention to this.
00:48:36.140And, you know, and I'm old enough to remember when some of the Silicon Valley people want to be friends with you.
00:48:41.620Right. I remember that they said, OK, well, maybe we should bring some conservatives in here.
00:48:45.260Maybe we should talk to Glenn Beck and guys like Glenn Beck.
00:48:47.760I don't know if that was a May to December.
00:48:50.100Right. That was just one of those short romances like, hey, look at us.
00:48:53.920We're not biased. We hung out with Glenn Beck for an hour.
00:48:58.440It's it really what's scary to me about this is the more they do it, the more they try to convince us they're not doing it.
00:49:06.080Right. It's it's the more they are manipulating the algorithms, deciding what we see, deciding who we don't see, claiming that it's just a glitch in the system.
00:49:17.180And when a video magically disappears, that was supposed to be monetized.
00:49:20.060And it's it's got to kill some of these companies to hand over money to to conservative, upstart filmmakers and even established personalities.
00:49:29.140And the more they try to give off the impression that they're neutral, the more we know they are putting their thumbs on it.
00:49:36.860Oh, yeah. And, you know, but they're very good at it.
00:49:39.540I mean, I learned my lesson on Zuckerberg that fast, not stupid people.
00:49:43.120I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he was he seems so genuine in person and he makes good business cases for why it would be crazy for it to happen.
00:49:59.140And I know somebody who's in the conservative movement who just had a private meeting with him, one of the smartest guys I know in in our business.
00:50:08.120And he called me right after and he said, I said, how'd that go?
00:50:13.360And he said, you know, he's really surprising.
00:50:15.820I really believe. And I said, don't don't.
00:50:19.240You're falling into exactly the same trap I did.
00:50:22.240He's very, very smart and he makes a great, believable, passionate case.
00:50:32.420The guy is a total fraud, either that or he has absolutely no control of his own company.
00:50:37.640Well, that's and that's the second layer of this, because we did a whole episode on Blaze TV of all the tech sector money going to the very candidates that want to break them up.
00:50:46.680So they're giving money to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
00:50:50.560Bernie's out there on the stump telling you that if he gets elected, he's going to break these companies up.
00:51:57.100They're gobbling up any competition, something that Ray Kurzweil said that would never happen.
00:52:00.900I said, Ray, let's just play this out.
00:52:03.080Why would a company that is putting together AI, knowing that whoever has AI, real AI, when they have that, they rule the world.
00:52:16.440If you are collecting information on me and you know everything about me and I happen to be a scientist that's working on AI and I'm going to beat Google.
00:52:27.040You're telling me Google would never do anything.
00:52:32.580They would never manipulate anything on me.
00:53:13.580I think it's a Stephen King book where he becomes like electricity.
00:53:16.980Like he just, Jeff Fahey is this slow kind of dim-witted guy and Pierce Brosnan runs these experiments on him by trying to use this like nascent, it's before we called it the internet, it's like 1992.
00:53:30.700And all of this brain power starts going into the Jeff Fahey character and he becomes this like electrical, like non-human entity person who can like travel through computers and stuff.
00:53:43.620And I feel like Bezos is just going to be some like Bond villain in like a giant armor suit that we can't stop.
00:53:50.060You know, he's just going to go around, you know.
00:57:00.240X Chair is a really comfortable chair.
00:57:03.260People will, you know, come up to me, come on, really, is that, first of all, I don't do any commercials on this program that I don't believe in.
00:57:11.660You might hear commercials that I don't necessarily know about or whatever, but I never endorse something that I don't believe in.
01:00:25.180And the story that he told us was that ever since speaking out about these gangs of men who have given over to the belief that non-Muslims are the kafir,
01:00:39.000they are the non-believers, they are the infidels, that they have begun to take liberties with young women, mostly in small towns.
01:00:50.400This makes Jeffrey Epstein look like he's a great guy.
01:00:54.900I mean, what's happening over in England with the Muslims and what they're doing to young girls,
01:01:01.820it makes him look like he's done nothing.
01:02:07.340So now his fear is not the threat, the death threats that he's getting from these gangs,
01:02:13.380which he says he was informed that six of them were on the way to his house to murder him at one point with bombs and guns and knives.
01:02:21.040He says, we can't even buy guns for ourselves, but they got them.
01:02:24.120He says, I genuinely believe my government wants me to go away, that I am the problem with the politically correct, you know, society that we have built in Europe.
01:02:35.480And he said, I'm begging America to see this, that my life is in danger from both these gangs and my own government at this point.
01:02:44.260And let me add this, I said, you are lucky we have a Republican president because there's no way a Democrat president would insult your government that way.
01:02:52.120Because if we give him asylum, it's like we're acknowledging, we're saying, and when we think of asylum, we think of really terrible places on earth, right?
01:03:00.880We think of dissidents and activists and religious minorities in the Middle East.
01:03:04.480If we actually acknowledge that Tommy Robinson's life is a threat from the British government, we are saying to the British government, we're going to give someone asylum because we don't think you are going to protect him.
01:03:15.700I think things might change, though, if Boris Johnson becomes the prime minister.
01:03:31.980We'll be able to do surgeries robotically halfway around the world.
01:03:37.940Your car will actually become self-driving once 5G is in.
01:03:45.980But this also means every bit of information that will be collected by your refrigerator, your phone, your television, Alexa or Google Home, all of that stuff.
01:03:59.560If you're going to, it's complete transparency.
01:05:13.460We're on global television and the captain of the U.S. women's team is more concerned about getting that Instagram post than making sure the flag of the nation she represents in a global competition does not land on the floor.
01:05:28.160So, my chief of staff happens to be somebody that was a Royal Marine, okay?
01:05:34.180He's in the elite, elite, elite Royal Marines.
01:05:36.620He doesn't have to stand up for the queen when she comes in, okay?
01:05:46.460And he even said, because he's been with me as we've, you know, put up flags and everything else.
01:05:54.500We just had a flag at our studios that we had moved, and I joked with him, make sure it doesn't, you know, it's not on the floor, you Scottish people.
01:06:01.500He said to me, when this first happened and she dropped the flag, he said, I got news for you.
01:06:08.680The rest of the world doesn't understand you guys with the flag.
01:06:11.700He said, but no one, no one from any country would have their captain of their team at that moment drop their flag on the ground like that.
01:06:51.940I don't hate the women's national team.
01:06:53.860I think, I think the women's national team is bigger than the captain.
01:06:58.100I think it's bigger than any one player.
01:07:00.180I think that's part of the reason why you play.
01:07:01.800You're representing the country, not the white part of the country, not the black part of the country, not the northern part of the country, not the urban or the rural part of the country.
01:07:08.640You are there to show the world how awesome the United States is.
01:07:13.340Now, let me just add a little something here.
01:07:15.280If Rapinoe was a MAGA hat wearing Texas girl who, you know, she would not be being pulled to run for president.
01:07:23.880All you'd be hearing is how soccer is a white privilege suburban sport, even though it's largely favored by Hispanics more often than not.
01:07:34.140You would still be talking about how white the team looks, how suburban they look, how much paper was wasted.
01:07:42.840And while we're fighting global warming, you're throwing paper out a window for a bunch of dumb jocks to be paraded through New York City.
01:07:50.780That's what you'd be hearing if Rapinoe and her merry band of progressives, woke progressives, were a bunch of Trump supporters.
01:07:58.540And look, you know, it's been said by many.
01:10:49.500She went on Instagram after the 2015 Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage and said, and I quote,
01:10:58.860The world may change, but Christ and his word never will.
01:11:02.920My heart is that as Christians, we don't begin to throw a tantrum over what has been brought into law today, but we become that much more loving.
01:18:33.140You know what Andrew Wilkow and I were just talking about is, I think, the reason why this new study from Harris that I told you about last hour.
01:18:44.640Americans aged 18 to 34 are becoming less and less enamored with the LGBT lifestyle every year.
01:18:51.480In 2016, 63% of millennials considered themselves allies of the LGBT movement.
01:19:15.940I know gay people and gay married people that are totally cool and totally fine who are seeing the things that are going on and going, what the hell is this?
01:19:27.860I mean, what has Donald Trump done to trigger gay people?
01:19:32.160He's the only president who has been pro-gay marriage during the campaign and long before the campaign.
01:31:50.240So I wrote an essay, and I'm arguing this in tri-common sense.
01:31:53.640The civil service system, federal civil services, without any question, violates Article 2 of the
01:31:58.340Constitution, because Congress subjected the president to collective bargaining in a law in 1978, which means he can't fire anybody, basically.
01:32:08.820Well, there's a lot of learning, a lot of discussion by Madison early on.
01:32:17.400If there's any power inherent in the executive, it's the power to hire and fire.
01:32:23.460If you break that link in the chain, there is no accountability.
01:32:27.840And you wonder why it doesn't matter whom you elect.
01:32:30.900You keep electing new people, expecting things to work differently, and the ship just sails on.
01:32:36.460You know, it's like this democracy is run by dead people, right?
01:32:39.100It's run by all the people who wrote all these laws, 40, 50 regulations, 40, 50 years ago, and you can't even fire the people for badly enforcing them.
01:32:49.020You know, I think there was one place where I think the founders didn't see the future.
01:32:55.240They didn't see a future where greedy, power-hungry people would gladly give their power up because they didn't want accountability.
01:33:53.920I mean, we have so bureaucratized public schools.
01:33:56.560People have, over 20 states now have more non-instructional personnel than teachers.
01:34:01.940So there are a bunch of people filling out forms.
01:34:04.600That's where your tax dollars are going.
01:34:06.160They're filling out forms instead of teaching the kids.
01:34:09.060I mean, it's literally, combine that with special ed, and you've basically probably wasted about a third or more of the money of the budget.
01:34:18.220But there's no reason in the world why local communities can't run their local schools the way they want to do it.
01:34:31.500Well, the Department of Education needs to go.
01:34:33.360And actually, the Trump administration has proposed merging it with the Labor Department, which I think actually makes a lot of sense.
01:34:38.680But even if you have any role for the federal government, it ought to be as a distant trustee making sure they don't, you know, discriminate or something.
01:34:47.380It shouldn't be getting involved in daily choices where the principal of one school in Brooklyn told me last year she spends all Friday afternoon filling out forms saying that they did things they didn't do in order to protect the teachers from having to worry about all this bureaucracy.
01:35:08.160So her job as an effective principal is to lie to the bureaucracy.
01:35:14.180You know, I have a collection of items from history, and one of my favorites is a shooting target of a teddy bear that was put out by Theodore Roosevelt, okay?
01:35:30.280And it's an engraving of a teddy bear, and it's got targets all over him.
01:35:37.060And he used this as a way to try to convince the schools all across America.
01:35:43.280He wanted to have a shooting range in every school.
01:35:47.820Now, to show you how much America has changed.
01:35:51.300They were not upset about the government saying you should have a shooting range and we should teach kids how to use guns.
01:35:59.020Can you imagine how much better people would feel about their local communities if they had actual input into how the schools ran and where bad teachers could be fired?
01:36:21.360There was a teacher just this week that said, you know, I can't tell you that the Holocaust is even factual or real history.
01:36:34.960They were just transferred to another job.
01:36:38.120You know, can we talk about accountability for one second?
01:36:42.180Accountability in an organization, people think of it and we naturally think of it as let's get rid of the bad people, right?
01:36:48.360And you do want to get rid of the bad people.
01:36:50.140But the reason you need accountability in government and in schools and such is for a positive reason,
01:36:55.920which is that it's only when you know everybody else is in your group, your school or whatever, it's going to be trying hard that you feel good about trying hard yourself,
01:37:05.720that you have pride in your school, that you have the energy.
01:37:09.940And if you know that job performance doesn't matter in government or in the school or so, what does that do to the energy?
01:37:18.700It's like putting a hole in a balloon.
01:37:20.940Every every American has worked at a job where we have said, I don't know if that person has pictures of the boss with sheep or what it is,
01:37:28.820but they should have been fired long ago.
01:37:31.560And when they're not, morale goes down and you never accomplish anything.
01:37:37.220We're going to come back in just a second.
01:40:48.860It's so, I say this all the time because I am in a position in my life where I can pay, you know, cash for things and I have insurance for catastrophic, me personally.
01:40:59.220And I'll go to my doctor and I'll say, okay, where can I get this test done where I can get it done right, can get it done quickly, and I'm not paying an arm and a leg.
01:41:42.700People have to be free to be themselves.
01:41:45.700I mean, there's no greater barrier between people of different races or genders or religions and stuff than being scared that anything you say could turn into a, you know, kind of a lawsuit.
01:42:30.640And in a free society, we ought to be able to congregate with those people, like the Mormons in Utah and the Hasidic Jews are in Williamsburg.
01:42:46.700You look in Manhattan, no matter how diverse Manhattan is as a whole, you have Chinatown, you have Little Italy, you have – people congregate with their like-minded.
01:42:59.220You have the Upper East Side, which is generally conservative.
01:43:02.340You have the Upper West Side, which – and believe me, if I as a conservative want to go live on the West Side, it ain't going to be easy.
01:43:09.600You know, they'll vote me out of that building.
01:43:27.460We have taken away the authority of parents.
01:43:29.480You know, we've made parents feel so terrified that any normal risk is somehow a sin that we're actually making it so that our children will not be resourceful.
01:44:13.700So when I first moved to Texas, I lived in Texas in the 1980s, and it was a great place, and everybody had boots, and everybody had a hat, and everybody had a belt.
01:44:22.200It's not like that anymore, but people still wear boots down there, and I like to wear boots on occasion.
01:44:27.580I like to wear boots when I'm on vacation.
01:44:29.820I'm up to the ranch and wearing boots every single day, but I don't want the boots that you're getting.
01:44:34.500You know, I'm not going to say the name of these brands, the famous brands down in Texas because they're like $5,000, and you're like, who's wearing these?
