00:00:00.000 Let me tell you again about Rough Greens.

00:00:01.700 Rough Greens is not a dog food.

00:00:03.540 It is a supplement that you put on the greens, or sorry, on the dog's food.

00:00:08.060 They love it.

00:00:08.820 It's healthy for them.

00:00:10.160 If it's good for your dog, it's most likely in Rough Greens,

00:00:13.500 and they want to give you a free bag just to try with your dog.

00:00:16.640 I mean, well, have your dog try.

00:00:18.000 You probably shouldn't try it with your dog, but, you know, who knows?

00:00:21.900 Who knows?

00:00:22.320 Crazier things are happening.

00:00:24.080 Rough Greens, R-U-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck.

00:00:27.060 That's roughgreens.com slash Beck, or call 833-G-L-E-N-N-33, 833-G-L-E-N-33.

00:00:57.060 It's a new day, a time to raise.

00:01:06.060 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:15.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:21.060 Well, hello, America.

00:01:23.380 You know, there's not a lot of days that I get up and I look at the news and I say to myself,

00:01:28.680 oh, I can't wait.

00:01:31.140 I can't wait to tell you what's going on today.

00:01:35.440 I don't know.

00:01:36.280 Maybe it's just a change in attitude where today's going to be a lot of fun.

00:01:40.520 It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:01:41.500 We're going to start with some good news.

00:01:43.860 We have now a U.S. Senate candidate for the GOP in Ohio.

00:01:50.000 The reason why this makes me feel so good inside is because I know that Mitch McConnell

00:01:57.820 hates this guy, which is kind of a bad job.

00:02:05.260 That alone is enough for me to go, wait a minute.

00:02:08.300 What's his name?

00:02:08.960 And he is also, from many of my conservative friends, say he is the most conservative candidate

00:02:19.920 and the one that they want in Washington.

00:02:24.760 And gosh darn it, you know who doesn't want him? 0.92

00:02:29.180 Yeah.

00:02:29.840 Mitch McConnell.

00:02:31.740 Ohio, good job.

00:02:32.780 We have Bernie Moreno on with us in 60 seconds.

00:02:35.100 First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:02:39.040 If you're having a hard time sleeping, I mean, the sleepless nights begin with one horrible

00:02:45.240 hour and then it's the second hour.

00:02:47.900 And then at some point you think to yourself, I'm only going to get three hours of sleep.

00:02:53.020 Grab your Relief Factor.

00:02:54.600 If you're having a hard time sleeping, get Relief Factor Sleep.

00:02:58.680 It's just like the Relief Factor that you take for pain.

00:03:02.500 Relief Factor Sleep is also 100% drug free.

00:03:06.060 So you get a good night's sleep that you really need without feeling like you got hit by a

00:03:09.920 truck the next morning.

00:03:11.460 It has a blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep.

00:03:15.320 I took some just last night and I'm wide awake today.

00:03:18.540 You're not going to get that with a sleep aid.

00:03:21.360 It's Relief Factor Sleep.

00:03:23.740 Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800 the number four relief.

00:03:26.860 800 the number four relief.

00:03:29.280 It's ReliefFactor.com.

00:03:35.140 U.S. Senate candidate for the GOP.

00:03:38.000 He won the primary last night in Ohio.

00:03:41.120 Bernie Moreno.

00:03:41.860 How are you, sir?

00:03:43.640 I'm great, Glenn.

00:03:44.680 Thank you for having me.

00:03:45.600 It was a pretty resounding victory.

00:03:47.840 Let me give you some quick numbers.

00:03:49.500 Three way, three, three way race. 0.58

00:03:51.500 Almost 51% of the vote.

00:03:53.680 Almost 18 point.

00:03:54.660 Wow.

00:03:54.980 And we've won all 88 counties.

00:03:58.020 Every single county we won.

00:04:00.340 Holy cow. 0.89

00:04:01.740 That is great.

00:04:03.360 That is great.

00:04:03.940 Now, the Democrats, I mean, I love your enemies.

00:04:08.140 First of all, the Democrats spent about $3 million on ads against you.

00:04:13.920 Then you have Mitch McConnell, who I know for a fact hates your ever-living guts.

00:04:26.480 Both of those things speak highly of you.

00:04:28.480 Well, the Democrats put an ad out there tying me to President Trump as if that was some sort of negative.

00:04:36.300 The reality is I wear my support of and for President Trump with a badge of honor.

00:04:41.900 What will be interesting is to see if Sherrod Brown will wear with a badge of honor his 99% voting record with Joe Biden,

00:04:50.060 or whether he'll hide like a scared cat whenever Biden shows up in Ohio.

00:04:55.480 Right.

00:04:56.040 I mean, they always try to paint Donald Trump as an extremist.

00:04:59.780 I didn't see anything extreme that he did.

00:05:02.300 I was not a fan of Donald Trump the first time around because I thought he would be a little, you know, unhinged and most likely lean towards liberal.

00:05:12.980 I was wrong on that, admitted that.

00:05:15.740 And you look at his policies and you look at the history of what we went through.

00:05:21.440 It was pretty good.

00:05:23.240 It was pretty good and not extreme.

00:05:25.400 But you look at Biden and it's nut job central.

00:05:32.300 It is.

00:05:33.240 It is absolutely out of control.

00:05:34.620 I mean, it's very this is basically a conversation between people who love America and believe in common sense

00:05:39.680 and people who hate this country and are completely out of their minds because the policies really shouldn't even be controversial.

00:05:46.680 This is about legal immigration, zero tolerance for illegal immigration, energy dominance, not depending on other countries for oil,

00:05:53.980 putting the parents and local communities in charge of their kids' education,

00:05:57.660 having peace and stability around the world versus having potentially World War Three at every corner of the globe.

00:06:04.400 This isn't even close.

00:06:05.640 This is why last night it was a repudiation of the Republican Party of the past,

00:06:10.480 the party that thought that it was better to appease Democrats than actually appease their voters.

00:06:16.700 So, Bernie, tell me about yourself.

00:06:20.280 Why did you decide to do this?

00:06:22.480 You know, how's your soul?

00:06:23.840 Well, I was a I came to the U.S. as a kid.

00:06:29.320 I moved to the United States when I was just about five years old from Columbia, South America, became a citizen.

00:06:35.080 The first opportunity I could.

00:06:36.660 The greatest gift my parents gave me was bringing me to this country.

00:06:39.620 I was able to get to Ohio about 20 years ago, about a small, tiny little business, built it into a great business.

00:06:45.220 This country gave me all the opportunities on Earth that I could ever have dreamed about.

00:06:49.260 And this is about making certain that we preserve that ability, that ability to do whatever you set your mind out to,

00:06:55.600 no matter who you are or the circumstances of your birth, the color of your skin, whatever your background is.

00:07:01.160 You can do anything in America if you work hard enough.

00:07:05.080 That's what the left hates.

00:07:06.960 They want government dependency.

00:07:08.600 They want to tell us how to live our lives.

00:07:10.640 They have this paternalistic view of governing.

00:07:12.960 And that's what we're going to repudiate.

00:07:15.660 And the American people are sick and tired of career politicians that care more about themselves and their career than actually helping this country.

00:07:25.640 So, Bernie, I don't know if you're a religious person at all, but, you know, James Lindsay, I don't know if you know who he is, but he is an atheist.

00:07:38.840 And I was talking to him last time we sat down together, I guess, maybe a year ago.

00:07:45.480 And I said, I need your help, James, because I'm looking at what's happening in our country.

00:07:50.320 And I look at what's happening in Washington.

00:07:52.660 And because it is preaching, you can't do it.

00:07:57.220 There is no, you know, salvation.

00:08:00.640 It's all collective salvation.

00:08:02.800 They're beating people down.

00:08:04.640 They're separating us, you know, by color.

00:08:07.600 I can't think of another word other than evil.

00:08:10.540 And he said, yeah, I think that's the only word that could be applied at this scale.

00:08:19.580 Are you have you ever encountered real evil?

00:08:23.240 Because you're about to if you go to Washington.

00:08:26.340 Oh, I encountered it in my own primary.

00:08:28.920 You know, the darkest forces in this country collude.

00:08:31.780 The cabal is real, something I never would have thought of as a business person before I get into politics.

00:08:37.140 This group of far left extremists that control the Democrat Party with spineless Republicans combined with a media that absolutely does their bidding to fight anybody who goes against their vision of this country.

00:08:51.140 But to answer your original question, Glenn, this country does not exist without God.

00:08:57.780 It does not.

00:08:58.600 There is this nation was founded on a principle that our rights come from somebody above government, which is the almighty.

00:09:05.500 If we don't believe that, then we have to believe that our rights come from some government official, which is the whole cornerstone of what our Democratic Republic is all about.

00:09:15.660 So what are the things that compelled you to get in?

00:09:21.160 What are the what are the things and who are the people that you will partner with in in the Senate that you think these guys get it?

00:09:31.280 I am on that team.

00:09:32.380 I look at J.D. Vance, great friend of mine, going to be a great partner with him.

00:09:37.780 We're going to have a great delegation here in Ohio.

00:09:40.060 People like Mike Lee, Bill Hagerty, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Roger Marshall, Tommy Tuberville.

00:09:47.780 You were the conservatives are going to band together in the United States Senate come 2025.

00:09:53.240 And we're going to do something novel, Glenn.

00:09:54.840 And we're actually going to put in the agenda that every Republican campaigns on every Republican campaigns on the same issue sets.

00:10:02.620 It's just that some of them forget why they got to Washington, D.C. and who they're accountable to.

00:10:07.780 And we're going to change that next year.

00:10:09.320 By the time July 4th of 2026 comes around, Glenn, we're going to we're going to have our country back.

00:10:14.640 We're going to celebrate the fact that this country is going to be better for our kids and grandkids because the best years of this country are ahead of us, not behind us.

00:10:22.220 But it just takes all of us to lean in and and save this country, which is what we're going to do.

00:10:28.540 So when people say that, you know, you're a conservative or you're as they say about you, I think you're a mega mega fighter.

00:10:40.720 They do everything they can, Christian nationalists, to make us look like crazy people. 1.00

00:10:47.180 And, you know, some people, I guess, you know, maybe are on the right or the left.

00:10:51.400 I know they exist, but I am a constitutional conservative that is a Christian.

00:10:59.500 I fight for the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

00:11:05.320 And I will fight against anybody.

00:11:08.200 And I think I have a pretty clear record on this.

00:11:10.320 anyone, left or right, friend or foe, if you start to violate the Bill of Rights and our Constitution, would you stand against, just for the people that maybe are afraid of Donald Trump, because he's such a crazy man,

00:11:28.840 would you stand against Donald Trump if he was trying to do things that were unconstitutional?

00:11:34.320 Of course, but he doesn't.

00:11:37.260 The person who tries to do things that are unconstitutional is the current occupant of the White House.

00:11:41.420 But you're exactly right.

00:11:42.360 The duty that every elected official has is to uphold the Constitution as written.

00:11:47.160 This is a document that really was something that you put a time and place where these men were in one place, one geography, in a certain time and place.

00:11:57.620 And it's an amazing document.

00:11:59.900 You look at the Declaration of Independence, it lays out the mission statement of the country.

00:12:04.400 I was in the auto business, so I called the Constitution the owner's manual.

00:12:08.460 We need to look at the owner's manual to understand how to operate in the country.

00:12:12.100 But we're not doing that, though.

00:12:13.380 We're not doing that.

00:12:14.520 We're doing the exact opposite.

00:12:16.360 I'll tell you a story real quick that you'll really appreciate.

00:12:19.100 I was down in Meigs County, one of the poorest counties in Ohio.

00:12:22.020 A gentleman there happened to be a truck driver.

00:12:23.940 Raised his hand at one of our sessions with me and my opponents.

00:12:27.240 And he said, what does Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution say?

00:12:31.200 That's a question from a truck driver in Meigs County, Ohio.

00:12:34.260 Because what he knew was that we're not following that, which is that all legislative powers are to be held in Congress of the United States.

00:12:42.880 He knows that.

00:12:44.140 How many elected officials know that?

00:12:46.000 Because we're not following that simple idea.

00:12:50.100 I've heard from everybody who has gone to Congress or the Senate that I respect.

00:12:55.340 They all say every almost every politician here pays lip service to the Constitution and the Declaration.

00:13:03.560 But the only time that it is ever truly discussed or taken into consideration is when there's a voter around.

00:13:10.580 They'll talk a good game, but they don't really care about it at all.

00:13:14.280 And, you know, it's funny that you said, you know, our mission is clearly stated in the Declaration.

00:13:20.800 I call that.

00:13:22.180 I mean, it's clear.

00:13:23.100 That's our mission statement.

00:13:24.880 And you're exactly right.

00:13:26.560 I call the Constitution our our owner's manual.

00:13:29.660 That's our how to book.

00:13:31.040 And of course, men never read a manual.

00:13:33.760 So maybe we should, you know, maybe we should concentrate that on that a little bit, because everything that is happening that is wrong with the country and putting us on the wrong track is the fact that we are violating not only the Constitution on the way things are supposed to be done.

00:13:49.940 Congress needs to take its power back, but also an out of control administrative state and a violation of almost every single right in the Bill of Rights almost every day.

00:14:04.060 Nobody's quartering horses or troops in my house yet.

00:14:06.980 But I, you know, I could make a case that Google is.

00:14:09.860 No, you're exactly right.

00:14:12.380 And it's it's fascinating to me to watch these.

00:14:14.800 I call them job seeking career politicians, because I think that's also what my election showed is a repudiation of that.

00:14:21.960 I think our founders understood instinctively that government will eventually, without restraint, have tyranny over its people just by its very nature.

00:14:32.240 And so they understood the way to fix that is you send people who've done something outside of government, go there to serve.

00:14:38.180 And then, most importantly, come home.

00:14:41.220 That last part is critical.

00:14:43.240 Come home.

00:14:44.340 This is not we were never intended in this country to have a political class.

00:14:48.400 We're intended to have a citizen led legislature where the government is small.

00:14:52.460 We have decentralized power because the bigger the people we the people are, the smaller government is.

00:14:58.160 But look, we've almost gotten to the point where government is in charge of our every aspect of our lives.

00:15:04.600 And we have to fight that back.

00:15:06.280 And I think I think there's a movement, Glenn, in this country that really understands that.

00:15:10.840 And we're going to get our country back.

00:15:13.720 Yeah.

00:15:14.400 Bernie, thank you.

00:15:15.440 Great talking to you.

00:15:16.460 Congratulations again on a huge victory in Ohio last night.

00:15:20.960 Thank you.

00:15:21.600 Well, thank you.

00:15:22.200 Thank you, Glenn.

00:15:24.120 You bet.

00:15:24.540 Bye bye.

00:15:25.260 Bernie Moreno from Ohio, the now official GOP candidate for the Senate.

00:15:32.840 More in a minute.

00:15:33.440 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:15:37.000 Let me tell you about Jace Medical.

00:15:39.180 Jace Medical is a company that is doing its best to make sure that you could you can survive.

00:15:49.060 If you need medication, you can survive.

00:15:51.960 I mean, I got to a point in my in my, you know, prepping and my preparedness that I was looking for books from the Civil War.

00:16:03.380 What what root is good?

00:16:05.380 What herb is good?

00:16:06.820 What would relieve pain if you needed?

00:16:09.320 You know, I don't want to live like that, man.

00:16:11.180 I really I'd like some pain relievers.

00:16:13.740 You know, if we're doing surgery, you know, I'd rather whiskey is not involved.

00:16:19.760 But that I mean, that's the kind of crap that you have to do a world without antibiotics.

00:16:25.220 It could happen.

00:16:26.680 And if you if you think that's out of the realm of possibility, have you been paying attention to the news or have you been in a coma for the last 10 years?

00:16:36.720 Jace Medical can help you have all of the medications that you need at your home.

00:16:41.860 So if there's a shortage, you have a year's worth supply.

00:17:09.060 10 seconds station ID.

00:17:11.860 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:23.720 We have a very tight show for you today.

00:17:27.780 We have Mike Lee coming up in a little while.

00:17:31.560 We have Mike Collins, the Republican from Georgia from Georgia and why the Democrats just don't seem to want to pass.

00:17:41.860 The Lake and Riley Act.

00:17:43.320 Do we have do you know, do we have Ken Paxton on in a couple of minutes?

00:17:47.400 Because we got good news yesterday.

00:17:50.320 The good news yesterday was that Texas can enforce the law.

00:17:57.920 And then we went to bed and then another court came out and said, no, Texas can't enforce the law. 0.96

00:18:06.240 So I don't know how a lower court overturns the Supreme Court.

00:18:10.460 But, you know, again, it's a horse on the highway, something we just don't see all the time.

00:18:18.320 But I've seen it on I-76 in Philadelphia.

00:18:22.960 So another horse on the highway there.

00:18:26.420 And I honestly, I don't I don't even you know, the other thing that came out about this is how is Texas going to send people back?

00:18:35.480 And I say that for two reasons.

00:18:37.700 One, the president of Mexico said yesterday over my dead body or, you know, pile of dead bodies that the cartel, my good friends of the cartel, you know, piled up in front of me.

00:18:48.660 And I say, you're not sending anybody back through Mexico, which made me think of my experience with the State Department when we were trying to fly people out, 18,000 people we helped get out of Afghanistan.

00:19:05.760 And the problem was we had a hard time getting them out, not because we didn't have the money, not because we didn't have the resources, not because we didn't have the people on the ground, not because we didn't have the planes.

00:19:16.840 But the State Department was calling countries and saying, we can't vouch for any of these people.

00:19:23.900 I wouldn't let that plane land.

00:19:26.620 It's one of the most evil things I've ever seen our country do.

00:19:30.040 And I witnessed it firsthand.

00:19:32.380 So when states say they want to send people back, I can guarantee you that our government under this administration and with this Department of State,

00:19:44.540 they are going to call all other countries and say, don't accept these planes of people back because we can't, we can't vouch on who's what and, you know, who we're sending back to you.

00:19:56.720 I can guarantee you that's going to happen.

00:19:59.020 So I really want to talk to Paxton today about that.

00:20:05.440 Also, did you see a migrant from El Salvador, just somebody who's just trying to make, you know, just trying to make things better for his family,

00:20:15.020 was charged with molesting children as young as six.

00:20:19.600 He has been deported two times.

00:20:22.400 He was arrested and released back into the community last year, despite being here in the country illegally.

00:20:31.940 He's 33 years old.

00:20:34.100 He's accused of groping at least four little girls as they prayed outside of a church.

00:20:41.240 He faces now 25 counts of sexual misconduct charges.

00:20:46.400 And the abuse allegations date back as far as 2014.

00:20:50.100 Why is this guy still here?

00:20:54.360 Why?

00:20:56.460 Why haven't we deported him?

00:20:58.380 This isn't a, this is not a, a Joe Biden thing.

00:21:01.720 Well, actually it started when Joe Biden was still in office, but it's been going on since 2014.

00:21:11.280 You know, the government, its first job is to protect our rights.

00:21:18.220 They're not doing that.

00:21:20.120 Their second job is to provide for the general defense.

00:21:24.480 They're not doing that either.

00:21:26.700 They're not doing that in the homeland.

00:21:28.980 And they're certainly not doing it overseas.

00:21:31.840 I've got, I've got some news overseas today.

00:21:34.820 That is just, you know, I think why I like today's show is.

00:21:39.060 It's so damn obvious.

00:21:43.940 It's just so damn obvious that none of this stuff works.

00:21:50.180 You know, we've tried reimagining the cops.

00:21:52.880 I don't think that's a good idea.

00:21:55.120 You know, I know I was there a few years ago, but I am there with the concrete evidence that doesn't work.

00:22:01.980 Same thing with inflation and printing money doesn't work.

00:22:07.580 Glenn.

00:22:08.220 And we all, we all know it every time we go to the grocery store.

00:22:12.320 By the way, do you see what the Fed did yesterday?

00:22:14.380 Can't wait to tell you that too.

00:22:15.540 It's, oh, that's great.

00:22:17.120 All right.

00:22:17.940 Why make the switch to Patriot Mobile from your own phone, your old phone service today?

00:22:22.980 Two words, parallel economy.

00:22:46.280 You think it's going to be a hassle.

00:22:47.960 I don't have the time.

00:22:48.840 The people are all Americans.

00:22:50.880 They work here in America. 1.00

00:22:53.340 They're from America.

00:22:54.140 So they speak English.

00:22:55.340 They understand what you're saying.

00:22:57.400 And beyond that, they're going to save you money and make switching super, super easy.

00:23:04.340 You'll also save money because you have a month free and a lower monthly phone bill as well.

00:23:31.500 Please excuse the program if it sounds like we have ADD in the next few minutes.

00:23:49.020 I mean, I'm riddled with it.

00:23:50.640 Yes, it's like a pack of wild elephants.

00:23:52.700 But again, I'm off subject.

00:23:54.640 We are waiting for Ken Paxton to call in.

00:23:59.020 His team is trying to make it happen.

00:24:01.820 But today, because of last night, the Fifth Circuit Court ruled and said, no, Texas can't defend itself and arrest people who are breaking the law.

00:24:10.940 After the Supreme Court said yesterday afternoon, they can now we have the fifth appellate court.

00:24:18.000 They have to argue before them this morning.

00:24:20.780 And so he's in the midst of preparing.

00:24:22.600 But we'll try to get him on the phone here, at least for a couple of minutes, if he can pull himself away from that.

00:24:29.460 The New York Times has come out with a great editorial.

00:24:32.920 It's about the deep state.

00:24:36.260 Now, Stu, what's the New York Times opinion of the deep state?

00:24:41.440 What has it been?

00:24:42.380 Not even real, Glenn.

00:24:43.860 What are you talking about?

00:24:44.720 The deep state is nothing.

00:24:45.980 It's not real.

00:24:46.480 It's fake.

00:24:47.620 It's a creation of conspiracy theorists like you, who just, you know, some fever dream that you have to explain all the problems that you've created yourself.

00:25:00.400 Correct.

00:25:01.100 Amen.

00:25:01.460 Well, here's the New York Times opinion of the deep state.

00:25:06.500 It turns out the deep state is actually kind of awesome.

00:25:13.880 As America closes in on a major election, mistrust is brewing around the mysterious government entity that's now denounced in scary sounding terms.

00:25:24.940 The deep state, the swamp.

00:25:27.740 But what do those words even mean?

00:25:29.980 Who exactly do they describe?

00:25:32.940 Well, we went on a road trip to find out.

00:25:35.200 And as we met with the Americans who are being dismissed as public enemies, we discovered that they are us.

00:25:44.120 They like Taylor Swift.

00:25:46.500 They dance bachata.

00:25:49.500 They go to bed at night watching Star Trek reruns.

00:25:56.560 They go to work and they do their jobs saving us from Armageddon.

00:26:01.200 Sure, our tax.

00:26:03.020 Can you imagine if we said Donald Trump is going to save us from Armageddon, what they would say?

00:26:09.420 Sure, our tax dollars pay them.

00:26:11.600 But as you'll see in the video, what a return on our investment we get.

00:26:16.460 When we hear deep state, instead of recoiling, we should rally.

00:26:21.760 We should think about the workers otherwise known as our public servants, the everyday superheroes who wake up every day ready to dedicate their careers and their lives to serving us.

00:26:32.680 Yes, these are the Americans we employ, even though their work is often invisible.

00:26:38.060 No, it's not.

00:26:38.760 That's why we know that they're existing.

00:26:41.240 It makes our lives better.

00:26:43.420 No, it's not because we usually don't notice when things are better.

00:26:47.760 We only notice them when they're bad.

00:26:49.760 If Donald Trump is re-elected and enacts Schedule F, that could change.

00:26:57.300 Oh, yes, please.

00:26:59.320 He would have the power to eviscerate the so-called deep state.

00:27:04.120 Are they calling for evisceration of people?

00:27:07.400 Did you hear that, Stu?

00:27:08.680 Let me read that again.

00:27:09.680 I don't think there's any other way to read that other than they're encouraging him and their people are cheering it on that he would take a knife, stick it in somebody's guts, pull out all of their organs and entrails, eviscerating how many thousands and millions now of people.

00:27:32.580 Is the New York Times saying they want to eviscerate?

00:27:35.620 I don't.

00:27:36.540 Wow.

00:27:37.140 Well, he would have the power to eviscerate the so-called deep state and replace our public servants with people who work for him, not us.

00:27:48.480 In the video above, you'll see a few of our hardworking American public servants.

00:27:52.940 We hope you'll agree that they're not scary at all.

00:27:55.140 In fact, they're kind of awesome.

00:27:58.760 That's the New York Times.

00:28:00.440 Now, I just want to point out that they have said forever the deep state doesn't exist.

00:28:10.120 Now, it does exist, but it's kind of awesome.

00:28:14.220 Kind of like, I don't know, CRT.

00:28:17.600 It doesn't exist in your school.

00:28:20.140 Oh, well, it does, but it's not what you say it is.

00:28:22.500 It's actually kind of awesome.

00:28:24.680 DEI.

00:28:25.480 It doesn't exist.

00:28:26.560 What are you talking about?

00:28:27.800 It's a conspiracy theory.

00:28:29.560 Okay, well, it does exist, but it's kind of awesome.

00:28:34.420 ESG.

00:28:35.260 That's not real.

00:28:36.400 That doesn't exist.

00:28:37.860 Okay, it's real.

00:28:39.540 And it might be bad.

00:28:41.680 Okay, it's bad.

00:28:43.680 Well, that's what we're saying.

00:28:45.420 It's bad.

00:28:45.880 So we're going to say we're stopping it, but we're not actually stopping it because it's kind of awesome.

00:28:50.380 How about the cries for $25 an hour minimum wage?

00:29:00.060 $25.

00:29:01.260 Remember when we all said that was crazy and everybody said, well, that's just Bernie Sanders.

00:29:06.160 Really?

00:29:07.420 You know, health workers in California?

00:29:10.520 Yeah.

00:29:11.880 How much are they getting?

00:29:13.240 $25, aren't they?

00:29:15.080 Yeah, $25 an hour.

00:29:16.980 $25 an hour, yeah.

00:29:18.500 Yeah, so health care workers now have it in California. 0.99

00:29:22.040 Seattle's paying $26 for a sandwich if it's delivered to your house by Uber because of what the state has done.

00:29:29.580 And Barbara Lee now is not saying $25 because that was crazy. 1.00

00:29:34.420 Now in her Senate campaign, she's calling for $50 an hour minimum wage. 1.00

00:29:39.660 It's kind of awesome.

00:29:41.620 Gender mutilation of our children. 0.96

00:29:44.480 You know, that's not happening.

00:29:46.240 Okay, it is, but it's really good for kids.

00:29:51.280 Oh, there's no pornography in our public school libraries.

00:29:56.120 Well, there is because, madam, madam, madam, we are in a city council meeting.

00:30:02.620 You cannot read that.

00:30:05.900 Because it's kind of awesome.

00:30:08.300 Government censorship, that is not happening.

00:30:11.120 That's just a right-wing conspiracy theory.

00:30:14.960 We're not censoring social media or shutting people down.

00:30:19.380 We're not involved in that.

00:30:20.880 Okay, yes, we are, and now that you're on to us, we think you're violating our First Amendment right to speak.

00:30:27.960 Oh, my gosh.

00:30:29.040 How about inflation is transitory?

00:30:31.680 You're too stupid to understand that you're not really paying higher inflation.

00:30:36.760 To now, what's happening this week?

00:30:39.500 The Fed has now said, yeah, 2% inflation, that's not really a target we can hit.

00:30:46.520 Maybe 3%, 3.5% inflation every year.

00:30:51.080 Oh, okay.

00:30:52.320 I thought you had that under control.

00:30:54.580 Oh, abortion. 0.99

00:30:56.500 Then nobody is saying abortion all the way up to birth and then some.

00:31:01.180 Oh, yes, we are, because it's neat.

00:31:04.720 It's awesome.

00:31:05.500 We should shout our abortion. 1.00

00:31:07.860 And one of my personal favorites, we are not banning gas stoves.

00:31:16.380 Okay, yes, we are, but it's awesome.

00:31:21.880 Look at their pattern.

00:31:23.380 So now, they know that everyone knows the deep state.

00:31:29.740 What is the deep state?

00:31:31.460 It's not awesome.

00:31:32.780 And it's not just your neighbor.

00:31:34.840 Okay?

00:31:35.220 The deep state is a blob that you don't elect, you don't know who they are, that will make new regulations without going to you or Congress.

00:31:50.080 They'll make regulations, for instance, you now have to register with the Treasury if you're a small business owner, you have under 20 employees, you now have to fill out all kinds of forms and file it with their criminal division of the Treasury, making small business owners feel like a criminal.

00:32:16.660 And if we miss anything or we don't do it right or anything changes like our address and we don't notify the Treasury, we could go to jail for 10 years.

00:32:26.660 That kind of stuff.

00:32:27.800 Or here's one.

00:32:29.220 We're all going to be driving electric cars by 2035.

00:32:33.760 That didn't go through Congress.

00:32:36.220 That didn't go through Congress.

00:32:38.000 That was just pencil pushers and the president. 0.99

00:32:40.980 Hey, you know what?

00:32:42.660 You can find that regulation.

00:32:44.980 Go ahead and, yeah, find that regulation.

00:32:47.660 I know we can.

00:32:48.440 I know we can.

00:32:49.820 You know what?

00:32:51.280 Let's tell people that we're not debanking people.

00:32:55.340 And then we'll debank them.

00:32:56.940 And then when they find out that we are debanking people, we'll just say, oh, well, yeah, but we're doing that to protect the country.

00:33:04.560 Because there's these extremists.

00:33:08.600 No, the extremists are the ones that are pointing out the Constitution doesn't give you the right to do these things.

00:33:17.060 The deep state is a group of people that do not care about the election because they're not elected.

00:33:24.660 They just do whatever it is they want to do in their agency, no matter who the president is.

00:33:31.660 Remember, last time, the State Department fought against Donald Trump all the way.

00:33:40.640 They were sabotaging him in almost every agency.

00:33:45.160 The agencies work for the president.

00:33:49.320 They're part of his cabinet.

00:33:52.460 He oversees the administrative arm.

00:33:56.560 So if you're not working for the president, who are you working for?

00:34:02.560 Well, I'm working for the American people.

00:34:04.460 No, that constitutionally, that doesn't work.

00:34:08.940 Constitutionally, you're supposed to be protecting and defending the Constitution, which means you should read it.

00:34:14.420 And in that, you would see that the CEO of our country that runs the administrative state is the president.

00:34:23.380 And there are checks and balances with Congress.

00:34:27.220 You don't work for Congress.

00:34:29.720 You work for the president.

00:34:31.480 And he, hopefully, is working for the American people, not some, I don't know, energy company in China, let's say.

00:34:39.920 Just off the top of my head, nobody in particular springs to mind.

00:34:44.580 We're going to play this tape to see, you know, just how great these people really are.

00:34:55.060 We're going to do that here in just a second.

00:34:57.540 Still waiting for Paxton to call.

00:35:00.160 We have Mike Lee coming up in just a few minutes.

00:35:03.500 Mike Collins is going to be with us today.

00:35:05.660 John Andrasik is coming up.

00:35:08.120 We have a packed show and a lot of information to share.

00:35:11.840 Give me a second.

00:35:12.800 I'm going to tell you about our sponsor.

00:35:15.040 And we'll take up another segment here.

00:35:17.800 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:35:20.640 It is Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:35:26.060 This is a company that I started because I didn't know how to interview real estate agents.

00:35:33.440 Do you?

00:35:34.700 I mean, real estate agents will come over to your house and you'll be like, can you sell my house?

00:35:40.200 And they're like, yeah, we can sell your house.

00:35:43.880 Okay.

00:35:44.940 Could I sign something?

00:35:47.120 Yeah.

00:35:47.920 Okay.

00:35:48.600 House is for sale.

00:35:49.840 How do you, how do you interview?

00:35:52.980 How do you know what the best practices are?

00:35:55.380 I don't, I didn't.

00:35:57.260 How do you know, you know, what the best advertising campaign is going to be?

00:36:02.520 I know it's not blowing up balloons on a Saturday and having the whole family spend all Saturday clean in the house and getting it all ready.

00:36:10.520 And then have a bunch of real estate agents come in through your house and you're like, okay, you're not going to buy my, what is this plan?

00:36:18.060 You need somebody who has the backing of everybody that you need on a team to sell your house.

00:36:29.060 They have to know the best people, the best, uh, fixer upper people, the best designers, the best photographers.

00:36:36.380 They have to have the best campaign that is already driving traffic to their website.

00:36:42.520 So when you list your house, they don't have to start from scratch.

00:36:45.920 There's already people on their website looking for a house like yours.

00:36:49.260 We find these people and interview them for you.

00:36:53.540 Now, I want you to do your own homework.

00:36:55.440 I'm just asking that you meet these people because we feel they're the best in your area.

00:37:00.140 Real estate agents, I trust.com.

00:37:02.540 We don't charge you a dime for this.

00:37:04.780 It's a referral from us.

00:37:07.320 You can take it or leave it.

00:37:08.980 But if you are selling or buying a house, whether it's across the street or across the country,

00:37:13.760 we can help you find the right real estate agent, realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:37:20.120 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:37:23.880 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:43.760 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:45.940 We're talking about the deep state, something that I think a lot of people didn't believe

00:37:50.140 even existed.

00:37:51.320 I know when Donald Trump first said it, I went, I don't know if I like that term.

00:37:55.560 I mean, I know there's cabals, but a deep state?

00:37:58.920 Well, yes, there is.

00:38:00.280 And now the New York Times is saying, yeah, it does exist, but it's kind of awesome.

00:38:05.600 And here's the little video they made.

00:38:08.180 If elected, Trump's vowed to gut the federal government.

00:38:11.100 Reinstate the Schedule F executive order and, quote, fire rogue bureaucrats.

00:38:17.560 But who are these bureaucrats and what makes them so dangerous?

00:38:22.900 We needed answers, so we took a trip across America.

00:38:26.460 In 100 yards, take the exit.

00:38:28.520 In search of the people behind this threatening entity.

00:38:31.800 First stop, Huntsville, Alabama.

00:38:34.140 Sure looks like some nefarious government activity happens around here.

00:38:39.360 Oh my gosh.

00:38:40.480 It's Marshall Space Flight Center.

00:38:42.840 Meet Scott Bellamy.

00:38:43.340 I am a mission manager in the Planetary Missions Program office.

00:38:47.180 He drives a Nissan Titan 4x4.

00:38:49.520 He's loved Star Trek since he was a kid.

00:38:51.540 Of course I have a favorite character, either Captain Kirk or Mr. Spock.

00:38:54.940 And he may have quite literally saved the planet from annihilation.

00:38:58.860 Potentially.

00:38:59.700 You see, Scott managed a mission called...

00:39:02.220 The Double Asteroid Redirection Test.

00:39:04.400 And back in 2022, his team used your tax dollars to pull off something kind of incredible.

00:39:10.260 You have an asteroid and you have a spacecraft and you fly the spacecraft into the asteroid and try to change the trajectory of that asteroid.

00:39:19.000 It's like playing pool in space.

00:39:21.060 Everybody was holding their breath.

00:39:22.520 You know, this is the moment of truth.

00:39:24.400 Did we hit it?

00:39:25.080 They knocked an asteroid off its course, proving something that had previously only been done in movies.

00:39:39.020 Important work like this is happening all over America.

00:39:42.720 From helping 2 million victims of the opioid crisis, to engineering major breakthroughs in nuclear fusion.

00:39:49.460 And helping make hearing aids affordable for 30 million people.

00:39:53.120 Yep, the deep state is hard at work making America great.

00:39:56.060 That was what we were talking about, the hearing aids.

00:39:57.440 Just because we don't know about it doesn't make it suspicious.

00:40:00.300 These guys work for you.

00:40:01.760 Yeah.

00:40:02.280 But Trump wants them working for...

00:40:03.740 I can't take it.

00:40:04.920 So this is who they are defining as the deep state.

00:40:08.200 That is such diss and miss and malinformation.

00:40:13.860 That is everything that the government says needs to be stopped.

00:40:19.720 That's not what we're talking about when we're talking about a deep state.

00:40:22.640 Speak for yourself.

00:40:23.580 I am exposing the hearing aid lady tonight on my show, Studos America. 0.99

00:40:28.820 We got 45 minutes on her dark plan for this country.

00:40:32.980 Notice they go out of Washington, D.C. to find these people.

00:40:36.380 You're like, deep state, really?

00:40:38.840 We're going to Birmingham?

00:40:40.020 We're going to the Space Center to find the deep state?

00:40:44.460 No, you don't have to go that far.

00:40:46.560 Just go to Washington, D.C.

00:40:48.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:49.540 I need to tell you about American Giant.

00:40:51.640 American Giant, I love these people.

00:40:54.220 One of the reasons I love them is, well, it is the reason, other than they're really nice people.

00:41:01.780 They believe in America.

00:41:03.360 They believe in our Constitution.

00:41:05.360 They believe in hard work.

00:41:07.060 They know that hard work is important.

00:41:10.360 Hard work made us.

00:41:12.580 And they know that made in America used to mean something.

00:41:16.420 And to them, it still does.

00:41:18.020 Because manufacturing here in America has got to be brought back.

00:41:22.220 That independent spirit of American manufacturing.

00:41:25.620 American Giant is doing their part.

00:41:28.360 All of their clothing is 100% American.

00:41:31.140 The cotton, the milling, the cutting, the sewing, the rivets.

00:41:35.720 All of it from America. 0.92

00:41:37.920 Even the ink used to dye things in America.

00:41:42.240 You can, you know, buy, you know, cheaper clothing, but not at this quality.

00:41:47.760 And certainly not from America.

00:41:50.300 Statement.

00:41:51.080 It makes a statement to yourself that America is important.

00:42:41.500 It's a new day.

00:42:44.260 Time to rise.

00:42:51.100 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:59.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:02.120 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:05.800 We're glad you're here.

00:43:07.220 We have so many things going on right now that are constitutional crisis.

00:43:12.560 Do you remember when people were trying to impeach William Jefferson Clinton?

00:43:18.900 And over and over, every night for like a year and a half, the Republicans are putting us into a constitutional crisis.

00:43:26.340 No, the Constitution is clear on impeachment.

00:43:30.080 You just have to go through with it and then vote one way or another.

00:43:33.880 The Constitution is clear.

00:43:35.680 The Constitution is clear on many, many things.

00:43:39.480 But we have to keep going to the Supreme Court because, oh, we just want to forgive everybody's student loan.

00:43:47.920 Or my favorite is the White House claiming that the court case that was just heard in the Supreme Court this week,

00:43:57.060 that if the government, if the White House can't tell social media who to ban, that's a violation of the White House's First Amendment right.

00:44:10.400 The White House is part of the White House is part of the government.

00:44:14.980 The First Amendment is supposed to restrain you people.

00:44:18.680 It's about our First Amendment right, not the government's first.

00:44:22.520 Oh, my gosh.

00:44:24.260 Constitutional crisis after constitutional crisis.

00:44:27.240 Yesterday, the Supreme Court said Texas can arrest illegals.

00:44:32.280 Then a court of appeals late last night said, no, no, no, not so fast.

00:44:39.180 That's a constitutional crisis.

00:44:41.060 And when you have one, the best man I know to talk to is Mike Lee about the Constitution and what is coming.

00:44:47.420 We do that in 60 seconds.

00:44:50.580 First, our sponsor this half hour is Rough Greens.

00:44:55.040 All right.

00:44:55.840 I'm just going to be real frank with you.

00:44:58.700 Your dog paid me to tell this to you because he was too embarrassed to bring it up.

00:45:03.600 He's like, you're my best friend.

00:45:05.620 And I'm like, I know, I know.

00:45:07.280 So why are you calling me?

00:45:08.680 And he's like, I'm really bored with the kibble food and it doesn't taste that good.

00:45:13.800 I don't, my, I'm eating grass all the time.

00:45:16.280 I don't think I'm getting the things that I'm supposed to because I don't like salad.

00:45:21.280 You know, you drop some salad on the floor.

00:45:23.880 I'm not there to eat it up.

00:45:25.480 I mean, you'd think, why is he eating some green grass?

00:45:29.160 Something must be dramatically wrong.

00:45:32.180 I told him, I know.

00:45:33.240 I said, I would mention it to you.

00:45:35.360 But he wants you to know that, you know, he loves you and everything.

00:45:38.740 Just a little worried that you're not noticing that he could be healthier.

00:45:43.080 He could be happier.

00:45:44.680 Folks, that's not me saying, I'm not condemning you.

00:45:47.400 I want you to know that.

00:45:48.480 I think your dog is a little bit, but I'm definitely not.

00:46:03.180 All right.

00:46:07.160 Senator Mike Lee, welcome to the program, sir.

00:46:11.520 Thank you, Glenn.

00:46:12.300 Good to be with you as always.

00:46:14.440 Yeah.

00:46:15.420 We've got a ton of topics to go through.

00:46:18.220 I want to see if we can just go through some of these things as quickly as we can to get some understanding.

00:46:23.560 First of all, can we start with Texas?

00:46:25.020 I'm not sure if you are up to speed on all of it, but if the Supreme Court ruled, how can a lower court reinstate the stay that the Supreme Court said was no good?

00:46:42.280 Yeah.

00:46:42.880 Look, Texas and the court system surrounding Texas law as before really is contributing meaningfully to March Madness.

00:46:51.260 We've got a lot of back and forth.

00:46:53.320 Now, the important thing to remember is that there wasn't a ruling on the merits by the Supreme Court in this case.

00:47:01.160 What we saw yesterday was the court declining to issue an administrative state, declining to stop things.

00:47:08.900 It was the lower court to stay on it as the case is being argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit today.

00:47:16.500 Now, the Fifth Circuit includes the state of Texas and they're hearing arguments on the merits of the case.

00:47:24.620 And so within, I don't know, it could be as short as a few days.

00:47:28.860 Likely, it'll be a few weeks.

00:47:31.120 The Fifth Circuit will issue a ruling.

00:47:32.920 My understanding of the state that's in effect now put in place by the lower court is that that will remain in effect until they decide this or probably in a few weeks time.

00:47:43.460 Well, but I don't understand how a stay, when you have something like this, the country is hemorrhaging.

00:47:53.320 It's hemorrhaging.

00:47:54.160 Our borders are wide open.

00:47:55.740 We're hemorrhaging.

00:47:56.860 You go to a doctor and he's like, well, before we put that tourniquet on, let's hold on here.

00:48:02.780 And you would think that everybody would look at that doctor and go, hemorrhaging, I think while you make a decision, maybe we should just stop the hemorrhaging first and then we can talk about it.

00:48:15.100 Why isn't that the case?

00:48:17.200 You know, that is a little baffling to me.

00:48:21.200 It seems like a bad choice.

00:48:22.900 Now, I haven't seen the lower court's written ruling on this most recent action.

00:48:27.600 Sometimes courts will do this in order to preserve the status quo while the litigation is being worked out.

00:48:34.860 But that seems troubling here, to put it mildly, because states have an obligation, they have a duty, they certainly have authority under Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution to protect themselves against an invasion.

00:48:48.620 This Texas law, as before, it gives Texas the authority to detain the illegal immigrants, take them to the border, present them with two options, leave the country or be prosecuted for illegal entry and face jail time.

00:49:03.820 Now, why you would want to maintain the status quo, the status quo in which this bloodbath that Joe Biden has himself created through an open border.

00:49:15.380 She just said bloodbath resulted in the death of so many people is beyond my ability to understand.

00:49:21.320 OK, so let me ask you one other question.

00:49:25.580 If this if the state of Texas wins the right to actually enforce the law, which is insanity to me, does will that apply to other states as well?

00:49:37.860 Or is it just Texas?

00:49:39.140 Well, in any litigation, Glenn, technically, the only parties who are immediately governed by the ruling are the parties before the court.

00:49:48.280 So technically speaking, that ruling would apply only to the state of Texas.

00:49:52.420 That said, the precedent that will be set there would would likely be controlling in the states in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, including not only Texas, but but other states, including Louisiana, where the case is being argued today.

00:50:13.460 So it would certainly apply there. And then that precedent would likely be looked to by other circuits in other states around the country as they handle similar cases if other states adopt similar laws.

00:50:28.180 Well, I just know that, you know, we all had to live by the Arizona law, you know, so when they lost that, it kind of affected everybody else at the border as well.

00:50:37.260 Mike, one one last question. The president of Mexico came out yesterday and said, well, you're not sending them back here as somebody who dealt with the State Department and this government trying to get 18000 people out of Afghanistan.

00:50:52.840 And some of them are own special forces that were left behind. I know that the State Department can call ahead and say, you know what, we can't vouch for this plane. Don't let this plane land.

00:51:07.000 That's our recommendation. And they all follow that. Can if we start to porting people, can the State Department get involved and do that?

00:51:18.320 In this administration, for the very reasons you just described, I remember talking to you at the time you were trying to get people out of Afghanistan, Glenn, and realizing the insane degree to which the State Department was willing to make people's lives hell.

00:51:35.000 So I wouldn't put it past them to try. Just the same. I also wouldn't mess with Texas or discount the ability of the State of Texas to figure out workarounds there.

00:51:45.860 If one route doesn't work, they might try another one, and I suspect they would succeed.

00:51:51.000 I want to talk to you about the freedom of speech thing. You and I were talking the other day, and you were a little afraid that this may not go the way of the people.

00:52:06.540 I know you're hoping for a different outcome, but you were also paid to think on the other side as well.

00:52:15.120 Do you think that we have a real chance of losing the freedom of speech argument in front of the court where the government can just lean on companies and tell them who to silence and who to promote?

00:52:30.700 Yeah, I think there's a real chance of that, Glenn, and it's devastating. That would be unfortunate. That is not the outcome I hope for.

00:52:39.060 There is nonetheless a possibility that the State of Missouri will lose in this case.

00:52:44.280 I wasn't president of the courtroom yesterday, but I've listened to the argument. It's available online, and it's a fascinating argument.

00:52:52.520 But, look, this case is really important. It's important, I think, for Missouri to win here, because if the government can violate your rights when there's trouble, just because there's trouble, you don't have rights, that's not what the U.S. Constitution does.

00:53:07.240 It's not there, as Justice Jackson seemed to suggest with one of her questions yesterday, to make things easy for the government.

00:53:16.160 It is there literally to hamstring the government, to make it more difficult for the government to do this.

00:53:24.620 But, yeah, there's a chance of losing this here. Some of the questions yesterday, many of them, focused on this issue of standing, who has standing to sue.

00:53:33.120 And there is some difficulty, there's some risk to the plaintiffs in this case, that they won't be able to, sufficient to satisfy the court's exacting requirements on standing, to show that any one of them was directly harmed by any particular government action taken in this case.

00:53:54.100 That's an important constitutional element. That's a jurisdictional element.

00:53:57.420 Wait, if the government is violating people's First Amendment rights all over the country, why doesn't a state AG that represents the people have standing?

00:54:16.240 Yeah, either the state AG who represents some of these people, or some of the individuals themselves, because there is evidence that some of them were harmed, and they were harmed by this government action.

00:54:28.660 That's why I hope the court doesn't get stuck on that argument, because I think there is sufficient evidence upon which they could find Article III constitutional standing there.

00:54:38.660 To establish that, you've got to show that you suffered an injury, in fact, that you were subjected to that injury as a result of someone else, that that caused you the injury, and that the court is capable of remedying that injury.

00:54:54.540 In fact, it's fairly traceable to the conduct of the defendants.

00:54:57.340 I think there's more than enough evidence for at least some of these plaintiffs for the court to find standing.

00:55:03.720 And I really hope that they handle this the right way.

00:55:07.080 But I think if they're going to lose, that's probably the most likely ground on which they lose, and that's worrisome.

00:55:12.860 Perfect. Okay.

00:55:14.980 I've got so much to talk to you about, Mike.

00:55:17.040 How much time do you have? Do you have another five minutes?

00:55:20.340 Glenn, for you, I've got all the time in the world.

00:55:24.460 Five minutes will do, Mike.

00:55:25.940 Hang on just a second.

00:55:27.020 I want to take it to our budget and what the Senate is doing on that.

00:55:35.880 And also, Mike has said it's time to abolish the Department of Homeland Security.

00:55:41.660 Or no, not the Department of Homeland Security.

00:55:44.020 The TSA, which I am all in on.

00:55:48.160 But let's hear his argument on it here in just a second.

00:55:50.980 First, let me tell you about my pillow.

00:55:52.480 Once upon a time, mankind did not know how to properly make sheets.

00:55:57.620 I know, I know.

00:55:58.920 Everyone from the lowliest peasant to the wealthiest king went around with bags under their eyes all day

00:56:04.980 and picking little pieces of straw out of their back.

00:56:08.840 It was bad.

00:56:10.240 They hadn't got a comfortable night's rest.

00:56:12.860 Entire wars were fought and lost.

00:56:14.600 I believe the Crusades may have been because nobody had good sheets.

00:56:20.400 Don't let the Crusades happen again.

00:56:23.360 Hallelujah.

00:56:24.480 We have my pillow.

00:56:25.860 They've come along and introduced the Giza Dream Sheets to the world. 1.00

00:57:17.560 Station ID.

00:57:27.840 There is so much going on.

00:57:30.640 Wars.

00:57:31.920 Rumors of wars.

00:57:33.460 Our president, I believe, meddling.

00:57:35.140 Or our administration, and Chuck Schumer is the face of this one, meddling in the affairs

00:57:42.160 of state in an ally country, meddling with an election over there.

00:57:48.700 But we also are facing debt like we've never seen before.

00:57:52.740 And there doesn't seem to be a lot of people standing up and saying, no more spending until

00:58:02.240 we at least fix a few things.

00:58:04.940 Mike, what's happening in the Senate?

00:58:06.560 What's happening in the Senate is that we're set to have half of the federal government

00:58:12.440 shut down by midnight on Friday.

00:58:16.580 And we are told that the firm, what I refer to as the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, Johnson,

00:58:22.900 and Jeffries, has told us we're going to be voting on a bill this week, an omnibus spending

00:58:27.920 bill to fund the remaining parts of the government that haven't been funded yet.

00:58:31.180 We expect that bill to be at least 1,000 pages long, quite possibly 2,000 or more.

00:58:36.920 We expect it to contain hundreds of earmarks and spend an ungodly sum of money.

00:58:42.220 And we're also told that the firm expects us to pass this bill between now and Friday.

00:58:48.900 Glenn, it's Wednesday, and we still haven't seen a bill.

00:58:52.700 And earlier this morning, we were told we probably won't see their bill until Thursday.

00:58:57.880 Why?

00:58:59.060 Why?

00:58:59.420 Is it done?

00:59:01.180 The firm does.

00:59:02.340 The firm legislates by extortion.

00:59:04.820 The firm contrives these emergencies, sets us up for a shutdown threat, always schedules

00:59:11.600 that shutdown threat carefully just before Congress is scheduled to take a recess before,

00:59:16.660 I don't know, like, say, Easter or Christmas, or in this case, Easter.

00:59:21.700 And then they come forward and they say, you've got to pass the bill exactly as we wrote it.

00:59:26.940 Warts and all, and it's mostly warts and earmarks.

00:59:29.700 Or we're going to accuse you of causing a shutdown.

00:59:33.240 Glenn, we're not going to see this 24 hours before they expect us to pass it.

00:59:38.460 And I fear lest members of Congress be clowning themselves yet again by taking this and by pretending that it's okay for us to be a rubber stamp for the firm.

00:59:50.680 We are not.

00:59:51.360 And we do a great disservice to our own constituents every time we go along with this.

00:59:56.420 It's got to end now.

00:59:57.640 We are printing and borrowing $1 trillion every 100 days.

01:00:07.020 Every 100 days, we borrow an additional $1 trillion.

01:00:14.180 When is enough going to be enough?

01:00:16.220 It's never enough for them.

01:00:18.780 Because for them, if you can dream it, you can fund it.

01:00:21.460 And it doesn't matter when you're out of money and you're $34.5 trillion in debt because it's always got to be more cowbell with them.

01:00:30.360 And people know that it's wrong.

01:00:31.800 And because they know that it's wrong, they have to be bribed into voting for these bills.

01:00:35.120 I don't mean bribed in the criminal legal sense, but I mean bribed in a corrupt process sort of way where you end up, as we had two weeks ago, with the last spending bill, with $2.5 million going to fund outdoor recreational activities in some Bodunk town in New Hampshire, $3.5 million going to fund parade float construction in Michigan.

01:00:56.500 You know, these are both to the face of prominent Senate appropriators.

01:01:01.380 And a million dollars that was supposed to go and almost would have gone to a BDSM sex club in Philadelphia. 1.00

01:01:08.440 They took that one out at the last minute because people raised the stinking over it.

01:01:13.720 That's how they do this.

01:01:15.180 They get this passed by adding these sweeteners, which are effectively legal bribes convincing members to vote for them.

01:01:22.220 And again, I'm not using the word bribes in the criminal legal sense.

01:01:25.300 I know.

01:01:25.580 It's kind of how this functions.

01:01:28.380 Okay, quickly, by the way, call your senator.

01:01:32.380 Call your senator and say, do not shut the government down.

01:01:37.000 Do not pass this bill.

01:01:39.020 Shut the government down until there's some reason that takes hold in Washington.

01:01:44.520 Okay, one other thing.

01:01:46.520 You called for the end of TSA.

01:01:50.640 And I saw the response.

01:01:52.080 People think you're very, very, you're dangerous.

01:01:55.740 Mike, because there might be terrorists in this country.

01:01:59.160 Maybe.

01:02:00.120 Doubtful.

01:02:00.720 Yeah.

01:02:00.980 Maybe.

01:02:02.280 Yes.

01:02:02.720 And we also have something called the Fourth Amendment. 0.86

01:02:06.300 The Fourth Amendment says that you can't be subjected, Glenn, to a search or a seizure that's unreasonable.

01:02:13.720 And what that means is that they need to get a warrant before they search you or seize you, certainly before they're going to do both.

01:02:22.180 And to get that, they have to have a warrant.

01:02:24.580 And that warrant has to be based on probable cause of criminal activity.

01:02:29.040 When we go through.

01:02:30.060 Not anymore.

01:02:30.720 That's kind of old timey thinking.

01:02:32.860 But go ahead.

01:02:33.580 Yeah, it's old timey.

01:02:35.520 It's actually hundreds of years old.

01:02:37.160 It actually dates back to a couple hundred years even before the Fourth Amendment.

01:02:41.320 This goes back to English legal tradition.

01:02:45.100 So, you know, last week I was thinking these issues through just as I got a text from a friend.

01:02:50.660 Yet another friend.

01:02:51.340 This happens to me all the time.

01:02:52.520 Where I hear somebody say, look, I just got the full cavity search by TSA and I'm tired of it.

01:02:59.700 Or I just got the full tap down and I feel violated because people really are.

01:03:05.000 And I said, that's enough.

01:03:05.840 So I went to X on my face, Mike Lee account, and I said, look, MTSA.

01:03:10.860 This is unconstitutional.

01:03:12.300 It's horrible policy.

01:03:13.500 And people are tired of getting broke.

01:03:16.900 Well, I agree with you, Mike.

01:03:19.940 The airlines, as you stated, the airlines will spend money to keep those planes safe.

01:03:24.540 Well, I'm not sure if Boeing and United are involved.

01:03:28.420 Maybe not, but that's a different story.

01:03:30.860 Mike Lee, senator from the great state of Utah.

01:03:33.820 Thank you so much.

01:03:35.160 More in a minute.

01:03:37.820 Unfortunately, there are a lot of court cases going on right now that, you know, may as well start with, if only they had a Berna launcher.

01:03:48.800 Sometimes when things, you know, that are really bad go down, a responsible citizen like you or me will respond by pulling out a gun.

01:03:59.560 I hope that if I ever pull a gun, it is so clearly obvious or I'm not going to reach for it because I, you know, it's a huge responsibility.

01:04:11.200 So, what about non-lethal force?

01:04:15.520 Well, you can do the pepper spray.

01:04:17.220 You know, psst, that's great.

01:04:19.060 How about some tear gas?

01:04:21.080 How about something that you can shoot 60 feet away and hit?

01:04:26.020 And if you hit within five feet of that person, tear gas goes off and will incapacitate them for about 40 minutes.

01:04:34.760 I don't know.

01:04:35.380 That sounds like a pretty good deal.

01:04:37.400 Non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home and your car and your life.

01:04:58.980 So, the Laken Riley Act, not the Lincoln Riley Act, which I think is an act that was supposed to go through with Abraham Lincoln and maybe Bill O'Reilly.

01:05:26.540 I'm not sure, but the Laken Riley Act is something that was going through Congress and it would do a couple of things.

01:05:37.720 It would force the government and ICE to issue a detainer for illegal aliens who are charged or cited with local theft, burglary or anything else.

01:05:49.720 More serious crimes already require ICE to issue detainers, but nobody's really doing anything about that.

01:05:58.660 Also, it would allow states to sue the federal government for injunctive relief if an immigrant-related action, parole violation, detention requirements, etc., etc., harms the state or any of its citizens.

01:06:13.180 That seems pretty reasonable.

01:06:15.940 Why did the Democrats stonewall this and stall the Laken Riley Act? 0.74

01:06:22.200 Representative from Georgia, Republican Mike Collins joins us now.

01:06:27.440 Hey, Mike, how are you?

01:06:29.200 I'm doing fine, Glenn.

01:06:30.760 Appreciate you having me on.

01:06:32.700 You bet.

01:06:34.180 So, why did they...

01:06:36.180 You're in the district where Laken's murder occurred.

01:06:40.540 Why is this act being stalled by all the Democrats?

01:06:44.500 You would think this would be a no-brainer.

01:06:47.120 Well, and it should be a no-brainer, especially for Democrats who have sanctuary cities, because, you know, I know they're tired of the theft and the crime that is going on in their cities.

01:06:57.280 And it seems like the criminals that are coming across in droves from that southern border are aiming at sanctuary cities in a large part because they know they can get away with crime.

01:07:09.960 And that's the case, you know, in the case of the Laken Riley murder, this heinous murder that really didn't have to happen.

01:07:17.520 And Barra was in New York, and, of course, he got sighted up there, and he moved his criminal trade enterprise down to Athens, Georgia, and had actually been picked up for shoplifting a few days earlier.

01:07:30.160 And that gave us the idea for the bill, you know, after consulting with the family on several occasions.

01:07:39.520 You know, the one main thing that they kept telling me was, Mike, if there's anything that Congress can do to pass to make sure that another family doesn't have to go through what we're going through, then by all means, get it passed and put Laken's name on it.

01:07:54.540 And we would like to, we would really like to honor it that way.

01:07:57.800 And we did that.

01:07:59.000 And, you know, Glenn, here's the funny thing about it in the House side.

01:08:02.560 Now, I've never seen the House quite move this fast.

01:08:04.740 Now, I'm a freshman up here.

01:08:06.340 But we dropped that bill on the Friday.

01:08:08.440 It went through rules on a Tuesday, and we voted on it on that Thursday.

01:08:12.740 So less than a week.

01:08:14.300 We didn't even have time to really whip the bill, picked up 70 co-sponsors on it, and had 37 Democrats join on to say, you know what, this is a common-sense piece of legislation.

01:08:25.820 Just what you just laid out.

01:08:27.240 When you lay it out that way, I don't see how in the world anybody in America can be against that.

01:08:32.360 It just gives law enforcement one more little tool in their toolbox.

01:08:35.700 You know, I'm so sick of these people saying that, well, you know, Americans commit crime, too.

01:08:42.020 I know.

01:08:42.500 We have a problem with that.

01:08:44.160 We don't need to add additional criminals to the list of people we're having a problem with.

01:08:50.020 Lakin, you know, I mean, unless you have this sick point of view that, you know, when it's your time, it's your time.

01:08:59.680 So she would have been hit by a bus the next day or whatever.

01:09:03.220 You can prevent these crimes.

01:09:07.780 And from a group of people who always say, we've got to take away everyone's gun because it could save just one life.

01:09:16.220 I don't know why they would say, hey, if you're breaking the law, we should take that away and send them back home to where they belong.

01:09:27.560 It doesn't make any sense.

01:09:29.100 You know, Glenn, I think you're hitting on a much larger issue that we have in this country.

01:09:33.620 And I love talking about Lake and Riley Act.

01:09:36.560 And we're taking that to the Senate, by the way.

01:09:38.260 We're starting today meeting with senators.

01:09:41.160 We've almost got every Republican senator as a co-sponsor on that side.

01:09:44.960 Katie Britt's leading the way.

01:09:46.280 Wait, wait, wait.

01:09:47.040 Almost?

01:09:47.920 Almost?

01:09:48.840 Who's not?

01:09:50.660 Who's Romney?

01:09:52.060 I think it's more the fact that they haven't gotten back with them yet.

01:09:58.400 Okay.

01:09:58.760 But I anticipate how the Republicans getting on board.

01:10:03.820 I just couldn't see why they wouldn't.

01:10:05.960 But I'm telling you, I think you're hitting on the much broader issue.

01:10:11.060 And we've seen this ever since George Floyd.

01:10:13.780 There's just such a disdain for our law enforcement.

01:10:16.820 There's a disrespect for our laws.

01:10:19.580 And people think that they don't have to abide by whatever they don't want to, including people that are invading our border down there, wherever they feel like.

01:10:27.300 They already are breaking the law.

01:10:28.700 So do you think they're really going to come and abide by the laws of our country?

01:10:32.440 No, they're not.

01:10:33.740 And until we start prosecuting, locking people up, holding them accountable, this is a nation of laws.

01:10:41.240 We're going to lose our country.

01:10:43.220 And that goes right down even to the mayor of Athens, Georgia, who was treating Athens like a sanctuary city because he didn't want to abide by the state laws of Georgia, which says it's illegal to have a sanctuary city.

01:10:55.020 And that guy needs, as a matter of fact, he should have already resigned.

01:10:59.460 And if I had an ounce of honor, he would resign.

01:11:01.700 But until we get back to a nation of laws, boy, we're in deep trouble here.

01:11:07.800 So what is your district like?

01:11:10.260 Are they taking this one?

01:11:13.140 Are they unified for this?

01:11:16.800 I mean, why is he still the mayor?

01:11:19.880 Well, that's a good question.

01:11:21.600 There's a lot of pressure still being put on this guy to resign.

01:11:25.780 You know, I know they are continuously holding rallies up there.

01:11:29.100 Our district is solid behind us.

01:11:31.180 They're solid behind this act.

01:11:33.680 You know, my district is made up of just good old American blue collar folks that get up, go to work every day, go to church on Sunday and just want to be left alone by the federal government. 0.83

01:11:44.920 And it's just good, solid American people.

01:11:47.700 And they see this, they saw the heinous crime that didn't have to happen.

01:11:53.440 This did not have to happen.

01:11:55.400 And if the Lake and Riley Act would have been law before that, that young lady would not have been murdered. 0.80

01:12:01.900 And, you know, all she wanted to do was help people all her life.

01:12:05.520 And this act, we get this thing through the Senate.

01:12:07.940 That's what it's going to do.

01:12:09.120 It's going to continue to help people.

01:12:10.660 You're going to have to get Chuck Schumer to introduce it.

01:12:15.640 Good luck with that one.

01:12:17.620 But I will ask the audience, please call your senator and tell them to bring to the floor the Lake and Riley Act and vote on it.

01:12:27.400 I think there is this is such a no brainer, such a no brainer.

01:12:32.540 But unfortunately, that's what we have up in Washington.

01:12:37.500 A lot of people with no brains.

01:12:39.380 We do.

01:12:40.200 But you know something, Glenn, I'm a freshman up here.

01:12:43.300 Spent 30 years in the trucking business.

01:12:46.100 And believe it or not, I'm the first freshman that got a bill signed into law for the 118th Congress.

01:12:52.500 And it was a law enforcement bill.

01:12:54.320 And it was just a solid, common sense bill that dealt with fentanyl and protecting our law enforcement from all this mess.

01:13:01.920 So I know how to get legislation passed.

01:13:04.280 Took old trucker to come up and do it. 1.00

01:13:06.420 We can get this thing through the Senate.

01:13:07.540 So, Mike, you are a trucker.

01:13:10.940 So let me ask you, tell the American people what's going to happen to trucking if the regulations on no gig workers goes through.

01:13:21.900 Is it going to affect trucking?

01:13:23.340 That trucking relies on several different things, owner-operators in particular.

01:13:30.940 They're an integral part of trucking.

01:13:34.420 And it's not just that.

01:13:35.860 It's all the rules that have been pushed down our throats over the years.

01:13:40.940 Your trucking industry is, in my opinion, one of the purest forms of entrepreneurship that there is.

01:13:47.260 I mean, you've got 98% of the trucking companies out there are 10 trucks or less.

01:13:54.480 95% of them are five trucks or less.

01:13:57.640 These are generational people.

01:13:59.480 These are small businesses out there.

01:14:01.640 They're struggling.

01:14:02.580 And I'll tell you what the biggest problem we have out there right now in trucking.

01:14:06.900 And that's the fact that we need port reform.

01:14:08.760 You have got so many runaway juries, so many nuclear verdicts out there.

01:14:13.720 Insurance has gone sky high.

01:14:15.580 You know, people ask me all the time, Mike, why do we see all these trucks parked up and down the interstate?

01:14:19.920 Well, that's easy.

01:14:20.940 Ten years ago, you didn't have that problem because we would park at our shipper or consignate.

01:14:24.660 Well, due to lawsuits, these shippers and these customers, they say, don't come on my yard until I unload you.

01:14:32.120 You can't stay the night here because I'm afraid that if you get sued, they're going to sue my general liability.

01:14:37.740 So until we get a true tort reform in this country and make these bottom fishing trial lawyers pay for this mess, trucking is going to struggle.

01:14:50.020 And I think the American people understand, especially through the pandemic, trucking plays a big part in our economy.

01:14:59.580 Agree.

01:15:00.500 If our truckers stop, we stop as America.

01:15:04.960 Thank you so much.

01:15:06.060 I appreciate it, Mike.

01:15:07.740 Really do appreciate it.

01:15:08.660 Thanks.

01:15:09.360 I appreciate your time on this.

01:15:11.060 That's a very important issue with Lake and Riley.

01:15:13.220 And I encourage everybody, please contact your senator.

01:15:16.300 We knew we knew we need the help.

01:15:17.480 But, by the way, one last thing.

01:15:20.940 You've talked to the family.

01:15:22.800 How are they holding up?

01:15:25.820 Well, you know, Glenn, this is tough.

01:15:29.960 You know, and my conversations have been private and I've kept them private.

01:15:34.300 But think about it.

01:15:35.660 We're all Lake and Riley families.

01:15:38.360 We've all had kids that went off to school or went off to chase their dreams.

01:15:44.800 And you worry about it.

01:15:46.680 You know, in your wildest dreams, you would never expect anything like this to happen.

01:15:50.520 And it's just devastating.

01:15:52.160 You know, it's gut-wrenching for me.

01:15:54.000 I've got kids.

01:15:55.800 They're grown now.

01:15:57.120 And everybody's got that situation.

01:16:00.500 So, it's tough times.

01:16:04.100 Yeah.

01:16:04.420 Thank you so much, Mike.

01:16:05.420 I appreciate it.

01:16:06.580 You know, it's an amazing thing to see the callousness of our government.

01:16:13.760 That they just, they don't seem to care about the American that is struggling.

01:16:24.040 They don't seem to care.

01:16:26.680 You know, the same State of the Union that the president didn't get Lake and Riley's name right.

01:16:37.240 He apologizes later for calling the guy in a legal because no people are illegal.

01:16:43.760 He has not reached out to the Lake and Riley family.

01:16:48.960 The same, that same night, a father of one of our Marines that was killed in Afghanistan at the gate because of his damn State Department.

01:17:02.300 He's arrested.

01:17:04.620 He's never talked to the president.

01:17:07.780 Nothing's ever been done.

01:17:11.120 Do they even care?

01:17:13.760 We're just cogs in a machine.

01:17:18.460 And that is 100% un-American. 0.56

01:17:23.280 We are not a collective.

01:17:25.920 We are a collection of individuals.

01:17:29.560 And each one of us count and matter.

01:17:32.580 And you're not seeing that from the government anymore.

01:17:38.340 They just don't seem to care about the plight of the average person.

01:17:44.260 If they did, they wouldn't be spending and borrowing a trillion dollars every hundred days.

01:17:50.000 They wouldn't be doing it because they know that's going to cause massive inflation.

01:17:55.200 They wouldn't be trying to tell you that inflation is down.

01:17:58.340 That's not how inflation works.

01:18:00.240 We have to be negative.

01:18:03.860 You can't have 2% inflation every year for four years, which we've had more than.

01:18:12.900 2% inflation for four years means four years later, your price is up 8%.

01:18:19.920 That's what they're shooting for.

01:18:24.340 Your price has been up 20%.

01:18:26.820 And yet they still don't seem to care.

01:18:28.960 I think that's what this election is really all about.

01:18:34.460 Back in just a minute, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:18:38.700 It's Relief Factor.

01:18:40.200 You know, yesterday, I was at the doctor's all day yesterday.

01:18:46.260 I was in such agonizing pain with my back.

01:18:50.300 I love coming to my little town because you can go and see the doctor.

01:18:55.120 And I'm like, I got to get a steroid injection.

01:18:58.100 And he just looked at me and went, okay, well, why don't we walk over to the OR?

01:19:02.340 We'll do it right now.

01:19:03.080 And I'm like, what?

01:19:05.640 I'm so used to, you know, everything being three weeks out.

01:19:09.440 It was so nice.

01:19:10.400 And I can't thank the doctors at the hospital here enough.

01:19:14.620 They're so great.

01:19:15.620 But I was in massive, massive pain.

01:19:18.520 Today, I'm feeling better.

01:19:20.460 I'm not out of pain, but I'm feeling better.

01:19:22.580 And I know when I had pain in my hands, I know the difference between nerve pain and inflammation or soreness or whatever was going on in my hands.

01:19:37.060 We never really understood what was going on.

01:19:39.460 But Relief Factor was there, and it stopped it.

01:19:42.900 I want you to just try it.

01:19:54.600 Not good.

01:19:56.460 Believe it or not, it was a time when I was drinking, but no drinks were responsible for that.

01:20:27.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:45.920 Pretty amazing development.

01:20:49.960 Yesterday, the Supreme Court came out and took away the stay.

01:20:55.900 So that means that Texas could actually go out and arrest people who were doing things illegally.

01:21:03.440 If they were here for illegal aliens, you could have a choice. 1.00

01:21:06.860 You could go home or you could be arrested and detained and tried.

01:21:12.200 Well, we haven't been able to enforce that law because the government, the administration, who says they just can't do anything about this, you know, without comprehensive reform.

01:21:23.900 No, you could allow the police officers in Texas to actually arrest people.

01:21:28.100 Well, you could do that easily.

01:21:29.740 But instead, they took them to court and said they don't have any right to do that.

01:21:35.160 So the stay was lifted yesterday afternoon saying that Texas could.

01:21:39.760 Then the White House made sure that the district court ruled on it a second time.

01:21:47.820 They put the stay back in place.

01:21:51.100 Ken Paxton, who is arguing this case in front of that circuit court today, is going to be joining us next hour.

01:22:00.860 Also, John Andrasik.

01:22:03.140 An amazing song that he has written.

01:22:06.000 And, you know, I was just thinking the other day, we don't have songwriters that are actually writing about the times.

01:22:11.560 We actually do.

01:22:12.760 John Andrasik leads the way on that.

01:22:14.960 He joins us with Israel next.

01:22:16.520 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:17.600 It's a new day.

01:22:42.620 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:22:58.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:04.980 Hello, America.

01:23:06.160 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:07.800 You know, we have made huge strides in culture.

01:23:13.060 The right has always been kind of this, you know, we're on the island of misfit toys.

01:23:20.480 And we're kind of the Charlie in the box or the squirt gun that squirts jelly.

01:23:25.840 But things have changed.

01:23:27.720 I don't know if you've seen the movie Cabrini, but that is from Angel Studios.

01:23:33.140 And it is absolutely brilliant.

01:23:35.880 And at the level of a movie Godfather.

01:23:39.560 It is, it's not your old church films anymore.

01:23:45.200 It is really, really good.

01:23:47.080 And also, we have a few artists that have stepped to the plate and are quintessentially American.

01:23:57.120 I'm going to introduce you to a friend of the program.

01:24:00.560 He's been on with us before.

01:24:02.420 He's done something now for Israel.

01:24:05.600 And I want you to hear it.

01:24:07.560 And I want you to hear from him as well.

01:24:10.020 He is one of the, well, he's, if I'm not mistaken, he is, his music has now been added to the American songbook, which is an amazing thing.

01:24:24.640 Stands the test of time.

01:24:26.580 John Andrasik joins us in 60 seconds.

01:24:52.100 Are you prepared?

01:24:53.520 And can you help others get prepared?

01:25:39.800 John Andrasik.

01:25:41.320 Five for fighting.

01:25:42.500 Singer.

01:25:42.940 Songwriter.

01:25:44.000 Legend.

01:25:44.760 Maker of grocery carts.

01:25:47.080 Which we'll talk about here in just a second.

01:25:50.720 Hi, John.

01:25:51.320 How are you?

01:25:51.920 Glenn.

01:25:52.280 Always a pleasure, my friend.

01:25:53.620 Yeah, first of all, I have to thank you for what you did on my 60th birthday.

01:25:59.980 And unfortunately, I was with my dad who was dying on my 60th.

01:26:04.620 But when I watched this video, do we have a little bit of it we can play?

01:26:07.980 When I watched this video, I was blown away that you actually, I mean, performed your song for the video.

01:26:21.720 I mean, it was like, I mean, I thought it was cool that we're even using your track, but to have you actually play it is just amazing.

01:26:31.820 So, I want to thank you for that right off the top.

01:26:35.700 Well, it was my pleasure.

01:26:37.020 You're a good man.

01:26:37.720 And watching the video, you know, as I said before, the nice thing about playing 100 Years is that you're always a few bars beyond me in the song.

01:26:46.220 I'm chasing you in the verse because I'm 59 and you're 60 and I'll be catching up to you soon.

01:26:51.120 Yeah.

01:26:51.500 You know, we've both moved on.

01:26:52.900 It's weird, isn't it?

01:26:53.660 Well, we both moved on from the bridge into the vamp now, so we're moving.

01:27:00.200 But just to watch all the events, you know, that's happened in our lives, you know, I'm 65 or 64, and to see the imagers and to watch your career evolve and your family, it was beautiful to see.

01:27:11.820 So, you know, belated happy birthday, but I love doing it.

01:27:16.520 Thank you.

01:27:17.100 I tell you, I was at like an antique mall the other day, and I was walking through with a friend, and he said, oh, my gosh, I had one of those.

01:27:29.680 And I said, look at this.

01:27:30.760 I had one of these.

01:27:32.140 And he said to me halfway through, good heavens, we're old, man, when the things that we had are now in an antique store, we're past our prime.

01:27:42.680 Anyway, John, you've done a new song called OK, and it's about Israel and what happened on October 7th.

01:27:54.980 Can you take us through it?

01:27:56.900 And I want to play a little bit of it.

01:27:59.020 Can you take us through it, what you're thinking?

01:28:02.580 Yeah.

01:28:03.020 You know, I think, again, we were all horrified by October 7th and the atrocities.

01:28:07.920 I mean, frankly, it reminded us of 9-11 and, frankly, the Afghan withdrawal as well.

01:28:12.340 You've seen images we never could imagine.

01:28:14.740 I think what really struck all of us was within 24 hours, thousands of people celebrating in Times Square and the quick collapse of our moral institutions.

01:28:26.340 You know, certainly the media quickly became, you know, Hamas propagandist in many respects.

01:28:31.520 Of course, our college campuses, which we've known have been rotted out for decades, really showed their true colors with their anti-Semitism and radicalism, and, frankly, in the halls of Congress with Rashida Tlaib and her crew.

01:28:43.300 And so I think, for me, the song, even though on the surface it recognizes Israel and the atrocities, it's really deeper than that.

01:28:51.140 It's really about the kind of collapse of the soul of the world.

01:28:54.000 Because this is not about Israel, Hamas, it's about civilization against those who want to destroy it. 0.98

01:29:00.780 So, to me, the whole we are okay theme is a global theme.

01:29:04.640 And I think we see that in our country, we see that in our kids, we see that in the UN, which has been a complete disgrace.

01:29:11.800 And I think, for me, that's the deeper meaning of the song and perhaps why, you know, when Israel shared it on their social media, you know, Glenn, you know, we're not Jewish.

01:29:20.160 But I think we've both got a sense of what it's like to be Jewish and the vitriol and the threats and what they're facing.

01:29:28.480 Yeah.

01:29:28.620 So it's...

01:29:29.500 A little bit of it.

01:29:30.720 Yeah.

01:29:31.020 A little bit of it.

01:29:32.140 Yeah.

01:29:32.460 It must be terrifying to be a Jew today.

01:29:35.880 Oh, my God.

01:29:36.900 Anywhere in the world.

01:29:38.100 It's got to be terrifying.

01:29:39.200 You've seen this movie, literally, you've seen this movie before.

01:29:43.620 And I got to believe it's like, wait, wait, I thought we all learned our lesson.

01:29:48.840 No, you're right.

01:29:50.360 It's terrifying.

01:29:50.940 You live your whole life going, how could the Holocaust ever happen? 0.97

01:29:54.140 And then in 2023, you're like, oh, that's how it can happen.

01:29:58.500 And it's not just in Gaza.

01:30:01.220 Look, I'm in Dallas with you tonight, today.

01:30:05.240 Tonight, I'm meeting with five high school kids that I met at a Stand With Us event who are suffering from severe anti-Semitism at schools in Dallas.

01:30:16.400 We're not talking about, you know, London.

01:30:20.420 We're not talking about California.

01:30:22.180 We're not talking about Massachusetts.

01:30:23.460 So it's raging everywhere.

01:30:25.820 And the sad fact that our kids are on the front lines of this, that is the most depressing of all.

01:30:31.720 But another reason why we have to stand up and stand up through the arts, because that's the only way we get to the kids.

01:30:38.140 Yes, culture.

01:30:38.920 All right, let me just give you a couple of the lyrics here, because I think his lyrics are always so powerful.

01:30:44.200 This is a time for choosing.

01:30:46.620 This is a time to mourn.

01:30:48.800 The moral man is losing.

01:30:51.800 Forbidden.

01:30:52.780 Lost.

01:30:53.460 Forlorn.

01:30:54.760 I don't understand.

01:30:56.700 I don't understand.

01:30:57.680 How can you look at yourself in the mirror?

01:31:00.540 I don't understand.

01:31:02.220 How did that blood fill up your eyes?

01:31:04.860 We are not okay.

01:31:08.980 You hide behind your babies.

01:31:11.100 You hide behind your kin.

01:31:12.980 The Harvarders have rabies.

01:31:15.820 They'd holocaust again. 0.97

01:31:17.820 My gosh, that is such a great line.

01:31:20.840 We, we are, we are not okay.

01:31:24.480 Evil's on the march.

01:31:26.260 Time to face the task at hand.

01:31:28.840 Evil's on the march.

01:31:30.220 Evil's on the march.

01:31:31.600 Need every good woman.

01:31:33.660 Every good man.

01:31:35.240 This song is called, okay.

01:31:38.200 Let's play a bit of it here.

01:31:39.240 Do you have any more comments about children's parents who didn't talk about?

01:31:45.820 You hide behind your babies.

01:31:52.060 You hide behind your kin.

01:31:56.460 The Harvarders have rabies.

01:32:00.840 The Harvarders have rabies.

01:32:04.840 They'd holocaust again. 0.97

01:32:09.840 And then, come on.

01:32:11.180 I don't understand.

01:32:23.220 You hide behind your kin.

01:32:27.180 Don't understand.

01:32:27.940 I don't understand, how did that blood spill from your eyes?

01:32:38.940 We, we are, we are not

01:32:48.940 We, we are, we are not

01:33:03.940 We, we are, we are not

01:33:16.940 I am asking, specifically calling for the genocide of Jews 1.00

01:33:20.940 Does that constitute a holy harassment?

01:33:23.940 It can be, depending on the context

01:33:25.940 It can be, unless you have any depending on the context

01:33:28.940 It is a context to make a decision, Congresswoman

01:33:32.940 Evil's on the march, evil's on the march

01:33:37.940 Time to face the test

01:33:41.940 Let us get handled

01:34:09.940 We, we are, we are not

01:34:13.940 We, we are, we are not

01:34:25.940 We, we are, we are not

01:34:31.940 the name of the song is okay and we are definitely not okay john andrasik five for fighting uh who

01:34:42.260 wrote that and is singing it and usually you use the you lose the upper end of your range there

01:34:48.100 uh when you get to be our age john but uh i think that's that's uh you're hitting some high notes

01:34:55.540 um uh i i um i think we're coming from the same place i i've been saying on the air

01:35:03.300 that i'm seeing so many things that i've never seen before and a couple of weeks ago

01:35:46.100 not okay we're not okay we're in an alternate universe everything is upside down it's insane

01:35:53.940 and i have to call out our industry as well in the music business look 20 22 and a half years ago we

01:36:08.100 me and they sang they condemned some of bin laden they provided solace to america in the world and

01:36:14.820 now the music industry since october 7th is crickets it's crickets what has happened to us what has

01:36:21.780 happened to our soul our moral spine when nobody in the music industry can condemn evil terrorists and

01:36:28.500 you know that video you guys just saw it's not just a pro-israel video it's a pro-palestinian video

01:36:34.020 that the woman that the woman over every good woman every good man is a palestinian woman calling 0.65

01:36:39.940 off calling out hamas and if these folks truly cared about palestinians they'd be saying free gaza

01:38:28.740 john andrasik five for fighting um john you know you were talking about music and and this generation of

01:38:35.780 of writers and and how lost i mean you listen to the lyrics today and there's a at least a 50 50 chance

01:38:43.700 it's about sticking something in somebody's butt um and and you're you listen to lyrics you're like

01:38:52.500 what the hell and in the 60s when there was this same kind of movement this this honestly marxist

01:39:00.500 movement but it it was tied to something even though it was a lie it was tied to something

01:39:07.860 bigger than the self and bigger than pleasure and it it was it was about creating a new world

01:39:15.060 i don't hear any of that from music you know it's easy to be the curmudgeon in the good old days when

01:39:21.620 we were you know we were having the hit songs yeah and i gotta say there are a lot of words that rhyme

01:39:26.180 with butt so i guess you know i guess it makes it a little easier to write a song um but but but yeah i mean

01:39:32.100 it it's it and the things that the kids care about are so trivial you know it's like yeah you know

01:39:39.060 okay the world's collapsing um there's atrocities being committed around the world but you know let's

01:39:45.300 let's march for pronouns you know and i get it you know be who you are but um and then if they're not

01:39:51.300 writing songs about it you know 80 bands are leaving south by southwest because the u.s army's a sponsor so

01:39:57.060 they're just kind of blinded by this this oppressor oppressive woke mindset and the problem

01:40:03.860 is is we're not standing up to that as artists you know there's three kind of there's three kind

01:40:08.340 of problems in the world first there's evil people right we know who they are they're terrorists that

01:40:15.060 are trained since five years old to commit atrocities they're their partners in the u.n um there's

01:40:21.300 the guy sitting in qatar hoping they can kill as many palestinians to put pressure on the press to 1.00

01:40:25.940 you know cancel israel and then of course there's the useful idiots right the queers for palestine 1.00

01:40:31.140 yeah the mark ruffalo's of the world who frankly give them license to continue doing what they're

01:40:36.020 doing but you know to me the most depressing the most depressing and dangerous group are those who

01:40:42.180 know what's going on they understand they see evil and they're afraid to stand up to it the first line

01:40:48.180 of that song you know is it's a time for choosing and i think it is the last image of my video

01:40:53.860 is martin luther king saying if you're silent in the face of evil you're complicit and so much of

01:41:00.340 the world is complicit and we have to change that and we have to change that in the arts we have to

01:41:05.940 fight fight back we have to go on offense that's what you uh you have joined something called the

01:46:34.580 sir i'm doing well pretty crazy stuff going on right now as usual i know um thank you for joining

01:46:42.020 us i know you're you're you're getting ready for your argument uh with the appellate court uh today

01:46:48.260 can you tell me what happened yesterday the supreme court said texas can begin arresting

01:46:54.020 and then i get up this morning and the appellate court says no no no not so fast

01:47:00.660 well this is one of the more confusing and maybe inexplicable things i've witnessed in the court so

01:47:05.380 it started off in district court with the biden administration and a little group called the aclu

01:47:11.460 sued us saying that as before was unconstitutional we didn't have the right to expel anybody from the

01:47:16.580 country no matter how bad they were so we the judge and that they you know where they filed

01:47:22.180 the lawsuit put an injunction on our law so it couldn't go into effect on march 4th the date it

01:47:27.620 was supposed to go into effect we appealed that a three-judge panel ruled in our favor we got the uh

01:47:33.540 the stay lifted but they put what's called an administrative stay on it to give the supreme

01:47:37.860 court a chance to review it he goes up to the supreme court supreme court says uh no fine six

01:47:42.980 zero uh it can go into effect and so we're good we're happy within hours we are notified by a new

01:47:50.820 panel of the supreme court uh priscilla owen is i think a bush appointee and then uh we have a liberal 1.00

01:47:57.700 judge appointed by one of the democrats and we had andy olum who ruled in our favor so we lost two to one

01:48:02.980 they put another stay back in but then they ordered us to have a uh a hearing within less than 12 hours

01:48:10.020 from finding out so actually my guy is arguing by zoom right now uh at the court in in new orleans the

01:48:18.420 fifth circuit and that three judge panel so it's a really odd argument because they removed the stay

01:48:24.260 but then they said that's what the argument's about so it's it's almost like they've already decided

01:48:29.140 but they still want us to argue the case i don't know i've never seen it like it i don't understand

01:48:34.180 it it's bizarre yeah i was talking to mike lee today um and he said you know stays are usually to

01:48:43.140 stay from harm what we have going on here is a whole lot of harm we have crime we have killers we have just

01:48:52.740 uh just uh just an invasion of our border uh and and it should be that the the court should say no

01:49:01.060 no no let them arrest until we look at everything instead the harm that is is being perceived i guess

01:49:08.980 by this court is to the illegal alien yes to the illegal alien and to the biden administration's

01:49:16.180 partnership with cartels that's that's the harm we are harming the cartel relationship and that's i

01:49:22.100 don't know how else to put it if the court defended this if they block us from enforcing legitimate

01:49:27.540 path law by the legislature signed by the governor then they are saying we want to protect any harm

01:49:33.140 that might come to the the illegal immigrants and to the biden administration's work with the cartels

01:49:38.100 that's the reality where we're at now so what is your guy arguing i wish we could listen in

01:49:44.660 what he's he's arguing exactly what you're saying with it that there's no harm and let this law stay

01:49:52.660 in effect let us argue the merits of the case and you you let us have the opportunity to to uphold and

01:50:00.500 defend a you know purposely enacted law by the texas legislature the people so when is

01:50:08.180 representatives when are they gonna when when is this going to be decided uh i mean i know the stay

01:50:16.340 is for today the trial i guess they would announce something within a couple of days on the on the stay

01:50:22.020 but i think what about the full case i mean they've already removed the stay so i mean the or the

01:50:28.740 administrative stay of the stay so confusing uh because there was a you know a stay in place and then

01:50:35.700 they had an administrative administrative stay of the stay that's why it's so hard to explain so

01:50:41.780 what they would do is i i think they're going to rule very quickly because look how fast they went

01:50:46.340 they the supreme court you know gave us the uh the victory yesterday afternoon and by you know within

01:50:53.140 an hour or two the fifth circuit priscilla ellen and this other judge said no you can't this law can't

01:50:59.620 stay in effect we're going to let the stay go back into effect that the original judge put in place

01:51:05.060 and now you have to argue this tomorrow at 10 10 in the morning which i've never had an argument

01:51:09.060 turn around that fast on something so significant but even on something minor i mean it's just that's

01:51:14.100 what's so strange about this that's part of it and it's also strange that the fifth circuit would

01:51:18.740 sort of step past the supreme court and say well we're gonna we're gonna stop this from going in effect

01:51:24.020 and it's despite the fact that exactly you said the harm is to texas there is no harm to the i mean i

01:51:29.540 will acknowledge harm to the cartels i will acknowledge that they are being harmed and that you get people in

01:51:34.500 here it is true we are harming the right though so that's what we're trying to harm to the drug

01:51:38.740 industry harm to the fentanyl pushers harm to the drug traffickers the human traffickers yeah so yes

01:51:47.060 yes i will acknowledge that in public in court anywhere we are harming them yes um so that that was the

01:51:55.700 other question you just touched on it how does a lower court usurp the supreme court

01:52:02.500 so they basically the supreme court just put it back down to the fifth circuit and said we're not

01:52:09.300 we're not going to uh undo the administrative stay of the stay and so they they they left

01:52:17.540 our our law in place but the fifth circuit still has control of the case right now because it's back

01:52:23.460 down with them and they can they can rule however they want and they can protect you know if they want

01:52:28.740 to protect the cartels they can protect the cartels it's it's within their power to do that

01:52:36.420 another thing that happened overnight and this is the first thing i was worried worried about i saw this

01:52:41.940 late last night um and then i saw oh well we don't have to worry about that as much as we do maybe uh

01:52:48.900 people inside our own country the president of mexico said texas isn't going to return anybody to the

01:52:55.460 border of mexico or fly them into mexico which made me think of the 18 000 people that we finally got

01:53:03.460 out of afghanistan we were thwarted by the uh department of state every day all the time several

01:53:12.740 times a day we had a plane with refugees in the air and uh we had a place to land another country had 0.95

01:53:20.660 already okayed it and the state department called and said uh we can't vouch for that plane so i

01:53:26.340 wouldn't allow it to land and they they stopped us from flying any place can the can the governments

01:53:35.060 do that to texas i i it seems wrong to me i mean look we also have this case supreme court just

01:53:43.060 knocked out our um we had an injunction from the fifth circuit that stopped that's you know the the

01:53:49.060 30 000 people that they're flying in flying in from venezuela nicaragua cuba cuba and uh venezuela

01:53:56.980 so 30 000 a year a month are being flown in we're paying for it state the state the the country is

01:54:02.420 paying for this the biden administration is paying for it's completely illegal and we had an injunction

01:54:07.300 to stop it in the supreme court just literally like i think it was a week ago it got rid of our

01:54:12.260 injunction so now those 30 000 people don't even have to come to the border we're paying for them to

01:54:18.020 come to the country illegally i can't make this stuff up it's i don't i don't yeah i don't know

01:54:26.020 i'm trying to figure out the distinction between the injunction and a stay

01:54:31.220 okay the difference is there but it's all i'm sorry it's all it's language that it that they use

01:54:36.980 but no i know basically we had an injunction stopping the biden administration from importing

01:54:42.580 30 000 people a month from those four countries the four i mentioned and the supreme court six to

01:54:49.220 three said no the injunction goes away go back and litigate this case so here we are we now have

01:54:56.980 30 000 people a month and we can't stop it until we get through this case which is going to take us

01:55:00.980 you know who knows how long so 30 every month 30 000 more we're paying for this are going all of the

01:55:06.820 all over the country from those four countries i mentioned and then on top of that now texas

01:55:11.940 has an injunction stopping us from enforcing our own laws uh protecting our state from illegal

01:55:17.700 immigration so it it's very frustrating because it seems like it's even when we get rulings that

01:55:24.980 allow us to go back to court they're the rulings that allow it to take years and so you know a year

01:55:29.860 goes by and another 300 000 people fly across the border they don't even go to border patrol anymore they

01:55:34.980 just fly in ken ken i i'm sure you know this because you live in texas as well um you know there's an

01:55:46.020 old saying don't mess with texas and um you know fortunately or unfortunately whichever way you want

01:55:52.420 to look at it um a lot of texans mean that and a lot of texans are seeing this as an invasion and

01:56:01.300 they're seeing this out of control government um you know doing exactly what you just said and

01:56:08.180 destroying us intentionally poisoning us and there's a lot of texans that i i think are you know kind of

01:56:17.140 up to here how do we how do we diffuse this um this back and forth how do we diffuse it so it just

01:56:26.580 doesn't get to a boiling point that you you can't turn down uh look i i mean all we can do i i have

01:56:33.860 lawyers people all the time say why don't you do more i'm like well the the legislature gives me

01:56:38.500 lawyers i don't give me tanks or anything else so i just go and fight where i can fight i think

01:56:43.620 eventually if if you have such disdain if the federal government has such disdain for the law and

01:56:48.980 the constitution then eventually the people have a right to to say no we're not putting up with the

01:56:53.540 same work and and the declaration of independence is is clear on that these rights are inalienable

01:56:58.020 they're from god they're not from joe biden they're not from donald trump they are inalienable

01:57:02.340 and we have a right to those rights and eventually the people have to find a way to overcome that

01:57:08.100 and what that is i don't know but hopefully the next election will speak to that and those

01:57:12.820 rights will start being honored as fundamental rights to human beings

01:57:16.500 that is um one of the most um amazing statements i think i've ever heard from a government official

01:57:31.060 um um i i hope we i hope the next election with you i hope the next election solves these things

01:57:40.260 because we're in constitutional crisis after constitutional crisis we are on our way we're

01:57:46.420 not there if we're not there now we don't have a constitutional republic if if the rule of law and

01:57:52.420 the constitution can be put aside set aside and and flipped to mean anything that you know a few

01:57:58.980 justices think it means and they can dishonor fundamental rights that were guaranteed in our constitution

01:58:05.380 then then now we're back to the declaration of independence and that is a big place to be as you

01:58:11.620 know yeah ken paxton god bless you thank you um we'll pray for your win today god bless thank you

01:58:21.940 the attorney general of uh the great state of texas why do i feel like history we just lived history
