Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical.
00:00:32.140
Jace Medical is a great organization that I found, I don't know, a few years ago.
00:00:38.940
They are helping you have the antibiotics and all of the medicine that you might take on a daily basis.
00:00:47.880
Have those things in your house in case there's a shortage.
00:00:53.360
There was a story that came out today about shortages on medicine and then a cyber attack also on prescription drug coverage for UnitedHealth.
00:01:06.820
We're very, very close to anything could happen.
00:01:14.840
And the way to prepare yourself right now is with Jace Medical.
00:01:20.940
You can get a year's worth of your medications that your family takes at your home.

Make sure you use the promo code and you'll get a discount on your order.
00:02:34.600
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:40.820
We got a lot on our plate today, but I want to start with illegal immigration.
00:02:44.200
I want to start where CNN and AP and everybody else says,
00:02:51.480
There's no problem with crime because of illegal immigration.
00:02:59.900
It is a real problem, and everyone knows it except the media.
00:03:10.400
First, our sponsor this half hour is Rough Greens.
00:03:14.620
Lisa wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
00:03:16.720
She says, I have a disability assist dog, a precious English black lab,
00:03:22.620
and I want to take the best care of her I can because she takes care of me.
00:03:31.820
She does much better at her job these days of keeping her attention on me and my needs.
00:03:37.200
That's all you have to do is take care of their needs.
00:03:44.000
Your dog is experiencing the same thing that my dog, Uno, experienced years ago
00:03:52.680
Start feeding your dog Rough Greens, and you're going to see that they, A, eat their kibble food.
00:03:57.220
They eat it all, finish it, and they actually lick the bowl afterwards.
00:04:03.720
But then you'll also see a change in their attention.
00:04:12.840
When I first started feeding Rough Greens, I thought he was a healthy, normal dog.
00:04:17.640
And then I started feeding this, and I got to tell you, his activity level went through the roof.
00:04:22.640
He spent a happier and healthier life because of Rough Greens, I believe.
00:04:40.180
Well, let's say hello to our executive, Mr. Stu Bergeer.
00:04:59.720
It has not, it has not been that cold since like 1908 in Texas on that date, which means,
00:05:10.020
or that hot, which means it was that hot a hundred years ago.
00:05:15.180
I just want to point that out, but it was really hot and I had to fly up to the ranch yesterday
00:05:20.700
and I'm going to spend a couple of days up here and it was snowing when I got here.
00:05:25.780
I mean, it's just whiplash for me because it's beautiful and very cold up in the mountains.
00:05:33.300
And for those listening on radio, it's important to note that Glenn is now at the ranch with
00:05:44.980
I assume you're going to start a charity up there for sick kids or something.
00:05:50.940
We're just milking these kids for all they're worth.
00:05:55.460
So anyway, let's, uh, uh, let's talk about illegal aliens.
00:05:59.620
And in fact, one specific case that the white house mentioned briefly yesterday,
00:06:05.700
white house spokesman finally commented on a report about Lake and Riley,
00:06:15.320
They just said the murderer should be held accountable.
00:06:19.840
Uh, we'd like to extend our deepest consult condolences to the family and loved ones of Lake
00:06:26.000
People should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
00:06:28.960
If they're found to be guilty, given, this is an active case.
00:06:32.800
They'll comment on anything unless it hurts them.
00:06:36.880
Then it's like, you know, you got to talk to the justice department.
00:06:42.920
What about Hunter Biden and his crack cocaine and hooker thing?
00:06:46.320
Uh, you're going to have to talk to the justice department.
00:06:49.080
What about, uh, what about, uh, Donald Trump and his documents?
00:06:54.860
And he said, he's spying on America with Russia.
00:07:01.080
You don't need to go to the justice department.
00:07:04.560
So anyway, finally, they said something, but the reaction from the press has been grotesque.
00:07:11.680
CNN reported yesterday, in case you don't know, um, Lake and Riley, she was jogging.
00:07:21.840
She's jogging in the morning and she's brutally killed.
00:07:30.100
It was an illegal alien and this time from Venezuela.
00:07:32.540
So CNN reports yesterday, quote, there's little evidence leaking illegal immigration and crime
00:07:41.220
after the Venezuelan migrant was charged in connection with murder of the 22, 22 year
00:07:47.180
old Georgia nursing student, uh, found dead Thursday, university of Georgia campus signs
00:07:55.360
of blunt force trauma after setting out for a jog in the morning.
00:07:59.500
The suspect is 26 year old Jose Antonio Ibarra.
00:08:06.400
He had crossed into the U S illegally near El Paso in September, 2022.
00:08:13.780
The, uh, the border patrol, uh, caught him at the border and then just gave him a ticket
00:08:29.500
He goes up to New York and he got in trouble in New York.
00:08:33.540
He was arrested last year in New York by the NYPD and charged with acting in a manner
00:08:42.140
to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.
00:08:55.120
Uh, and now, uh, and now this, so now a new poll shows that many Americans think that
00:09:07.080
there is a influx of illegal immigrants and that is causing an increase to crime.
00:09:19.860
It is the administration's, uh, new regulations and guidelines that are letting all of these
00:09:29.900
We're having all of these problems because of the new guidelines.
00:09:33.940
And then on top of that, we also have new guidelines issued by all of these district
00:09:40.600
attorneys all over the country that were hired by none other than, uh, George Soros.
00:09:55.780
And then we're not enforcing our laws in our cities.
00:10:04.840
And that's why you have criminals going crazy because they know, I don't, I'm not going to
00:10:14.520
Um, so yesterday Biden, uh, was taken on by Donald Trump.
00:10:20.560
He, uh, said, this is, this is the problem with the Biden administration and our border
00:10:29.740
By the way, he was charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated
00:10:38.180
assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and hindering a 911 call and concealing the death of another.
00:10:59.880
The reason why they let him go last time in New York city is because New York city is a
00:11:09.680
By the way, his brother also charged on Friday, uh, for possessing a fraudulent green card being
00:11:19.280
Now, uh, the federal arrest affidavit for Diego, the brother who killed the girl, uh, says that
00:11:27.200
in September 23, Athens, Clark County police charged him with drunken driving and driving
00:11:33.320
Oh, so he just did it in New York and then came down to Georgia.
00:11:39.260
Uh, oh, and he was also later arrested for shoplifting and then skipping out on anything
00:11:49.400
A majority of Americans now say that, uh, a border wall has to be done.
00:11:55.820
This is the first time since the history of polls that a majority of Americans say border
00:12:05.800
Trump says, I'm going to have a massive deportation.
00:12:10.380
He said, it's going to be the largest deportation.
00:12:13.440
If I'm elected massive deportation, uh, it'll be the biggest in, uh, in history.
00:12:26.360
Well, I don't know, but I'll tell you how the Washington post feels about it.
00:12:30.600
After hundreds of thousands of Mexican migrants were put on buses, planes, and boats during
00:12:35.220
the scorching summer of 1954 and sent across the U S border into often unfamiliar parts of
00:12:43.180
Mexico, the head of the immigration and naturalization service declared the border secured.
00:12:48.880
It was the so-called wetback problem, but the military style campaign, which used the same
00:12:59.480
slur in its name, operation wetback, tore families apart, forcibly uprooted people in the name of
00:13:13.220
Now, first of all, can I just ask why it was a smear in 1950 to, uh, call this operation
00:13:21.660
wetback that that's before it became a slur operation.
00:13:26.380
Wetback was called that because the people that were being deported were the people that
00:13:30.860
crossed the Rio Grande and swam across or came across.
00:13:38.040
Now it's, uh, now it's a slur, but it wasn't in the 1950s.
00:13:43.240
Now, former president Donald Trump is using the Eisenhower era operation as a blueprint
00:13:51.360
It will be the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.
00:13:55.320
It will remove 10.5 million undocumented people in the United States of whom two thirds have
00:14:07.320
Why is it that we're going after the ones who have lived here for a decade?
00:14:13.340
I think we should probably start with the ones that are here that just came here and, uh,
00:14:19.500
have no reason to be here and, uh, are causing real problems.
00:14:25.680
You can go with the, the last 10 million that have come in and they aren't the ones who have
00:14:34.240
Got to get them because if you don't get them now, what's going to happen?
00:14:39.140
The press will say they've been here for more than a decade.
00:14:45.260
Americans can expect that immediately upon President Trump's return to the Oval Office,
00:14:51.680
he will restore all of his prior policies, implement brand new crackdowns that will
00:14:55.960
send shockwaves to all the world's criminal smugglers and marshal every federal and state
00:15:01.160
power necessary to institute the deportation operation.
00:15:08.080
Undocumented illegal immigrants should not get comfortable because very soon they'll be
00:15:12.960
Now, that's what the Trump people said yesterday.
00:15:22.660
You watch the number of people coming across the border.
00:15:26.960
The more this is publicized, what he's saying, the number of illegals coming across our border
00:15:43.920
When Joe Biden said, no, I'm not encouraging people.
00:15:56.500
But when describing the operation on what Trump's plan is built, says the Washington Post, experts
00:16:13.980
Gosh, there's so many that pop to mind, but I don't know what it is.
00:16:24.320
I'm wondering if they're talking to any experts that agree with, you know, border policies
00:16:32.420
I wonder when Trump harkens back to that, I think we've got to be really clear about what
00:16:38.300
kind of a law enforcement campaign he is threatening to unleash, says Little Hernandez, who holds
00:16:45.660
the Thomas E. Lifka endowed chair history of UCLA.
00:16:58.220
If you're coming in from Russia, I want you out.
00:17:01.100
If you're, I mean, if you're doing it illegally, if you're coming in from China, I want you out.
00:17:12.500
If you're coming from Iran, I really want you out.
00:17:21.440
If you're coming here just because you're a family trying to better themselves, go through
00:17:29.240
Bring your family instead of just sending your 20-year-old son.
00:17:35.280
We got enough of angry 20-year-olds on our own.
00:17:40.840
If you'd like one, if you'd like to take an angry teenager, I will gladly invite you to
00:17:52.620
If that's what you're really looking for, I can help you in that department.
00:17:58.340
First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:18:03.740
Christians and Jews have got to stand together.
00:18:06.400
I've worked with these people off and on throughout the years.
00:18:12.620
And it is two people of faith, different faiths, coming together and working together.
00:18:21.020
I don't know if you saw what I'm going to address this next hour, but the insanity of a U.S. Air Force employee going in and setting himself on fire in front of the embassy to protest the actions of Israel against Hamas is sickening.
00:18:49.680
Now, Hamas has praised it, but so have several Americans, notable Americans.
00:18:57.880
This sickness is growing and deeper and deeper, and we are now starting to encourage our own terrorists.
00:19:06.280
When you put policy over life, you're in trouble.
00:19:10.280
Anyway, what's happening right now with the IFCJ is they are really trying to help the people that have been displaced.
00:19:22.260
They're trying to help the people just recover in Israel.
00:19:26.920
The news cycle moves on, but the situation on the ground in Israel remains one of destruction and deep-seated pain.
00:19:34.340
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, is there in the middle of it every day, and they need your help.
00:19:49.240
See if they're doing the things that you want to help with, and make a donation.
00:19:54.300
Support IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christian and Jews.
00:20:18.100
As we get closer to the election and things become more and more dicey and troublesome,
00:20:24.100
we need to give you some information and perspective that I don't think you're getting anywhere else.
00:20:29.560
Tomorrow night on the Wednesday night special, I'm going to show you a frightening trend from the media and government.
00:20:37.660
They've been playing with it for a while, and I've read a lot of commentary on it,
00:20:41.720
and no one is telling you why this is happening, and the why is really important.
00:20:49.980
We're just arguing about what is being said, and I'm talking about Christian nationalism.
00:20:59.540
Language matters, especially when it comes to the law.
00:21:04.620
When the law, if there is something that is a law and it says the president shall,
00:21:11.200
that shall legally binds the president to do something.
00:21:16.120
The president shall give a state of the union address yearly.
00:21:25.380
Now, there was a border bill that was passed in the House, and I think in the Senate, and it was in 2007.
00:21:33.480
I'm just pulling this out of the back of my pocket here.
00:21:37.140
But I think it was 2007, and it was a border bill that passed, and it said,
00:21:44.520
And I remember arguing with the guy who was the sponsor of the bill.
00:21:52.840
And I said, they don't care about legally binding.
00:21:54.820
They do care about it when they decide to care.
00:21:59.240
But when they decide to care when it comes to things like defining terrorists and the Patriot Act,
00:22:08.120
Politico all but called former Trump official Russ Voigt a Christian nationalist,
00:22:16.080
and it has sent off a chain reaction all over mainstream and social media.
00:22:26.500
you can probably call the Heritage Foundation a Christian nationalist foundation.
00:22:51.040
What the results will be if we don't pay attention.
00:22:53.340
That is tomorrow on the radio program and Wednesday night special,
00:23:18.680
You might as well join because my voice is going again.
00:23:22.140
But anyway, pre-born, pre-born is a pro-life group that I really love
00:23:34.680
Everybody always says, oh, you just, you want to stop abortions,
00:23:40.180
As a father of an adopted son, I love adoption and I will help any adoption at any time.
00:23:47.580
There's things that have to be done to clear that path
00:23:53.580
But the other side, they say you don't care about the babies
00:24:06.020
Not only for $28 does pre-born offer a free ultrasound,
00:24:10.720
which doubles the chance that the mom chooses life
00:24:14.440
when she hears the heartbeat and sees the baby.
00:24:16.320
But the second thing is, they provide aftercare for up to two years for mom.
00:24:25.100
Pound 250, say the keyword baby, or preborn.com slash beck.
00:24:31.560
So the media now is doing their best to say that crime is not a problem
00:24:56.180
That doesn't mean that everybody who comes across illegally is a lawbreaker
00:25:02.420
You know, they're not all rapists and murderers.
00:25:04.940
But we seem to have our fair share now from overseas.
00:25:08.760
And I love the people who say you cannot violate the rights of people
00:25:17.300
Yet they're the same people who say we should take away everyone's guns
00:25:21.080
because if it will just save one life, it's worth it.
00:25:25.580
Not letting an illegal immigrant in would have saved one life.
00:25:28.920
In fact, would have saved a lot of lives here recently.
00:25:38.060
He's compiling the stats of crime from illegal aliens.
00:25:45.920
Hey, well, it's great to be back with you, Glenn.
00:25:47.900
And look, if last decade's criminality from foreign nationals
00:25:52.720
was defined by MS-13, I think we should start to familiarize ourselves
00:25:57.620
with Trendy Aragua because that is the Venezuelan prison gang
00:26:02.720
that was essentially sent up here by President Maduro in Venezuela.
00:26:09.500
He knew that our door was open, so he figured he'd get rid of his problems.
00:26:12.900
Um, we focused a lot on the quantitative aspect of this border invasion
00:26:18.860
that quantitatively, it's much greater than we've ever seen.
00:26:22.280
Probably about 10 million between the apprehensions and gotaways
00:26:28.320
But qualitatively, when I speak to border agents, ICE agents,
00:26:33.080
and then reporters down at the Darien Gap in Panama,
00:26:35.760
they say they have never seen so many young male belligerents
00:26:40.940
with tattoos that kind of look like they want a piece of you.
00:26:45.240
And now if you go to the New York Post every day,
00:26:47.960
you will find stories of those arrested and then turned out loose
00:26:57.040
So this alleged murderer of Lakin Riley is not in a vacuum.
00:27:02.140
Uh, this is something that we are going to deal with for years.
00:27:11.300
So Daniel, when you talk about the, the border issue,
00:27:14.100
you mentioned the difference between the qualitative
00:27:19.980
Um, obviously the, the quantitative problem is,
00:27:24.380
When you talk about the people coming across the border though,
00:27:27.540
uh, you know, we hear about potential terrorists.
00:27:32.860
What is the biggest issue that border agents are facing?
00:27:36.580
I mean, again, we see, we've seen all these pictures
00:27:39.540
where we have young military age males just marching through the border
00:27:47.320
And it turns out that, I mean, at least from what I'm hearing
00:27:50.540
is that the Venezuelans are, have the highest concentration
00:27:54.200
of criminal elements simply because it's not by accident.
00:27:57.700
It's not natural selection, uh, that, you know,
00:28:00.260
you're going to have a lot of ruffians coming over a border
00:28:04.160
Some of them are just desperate, but a lot of them are criminal elements.
00:28:06.700
This is a concerted effort on the part of Maduro
00:28:13.280
And you're finding this a lot in places like Miami,
00:28:16.860
places like Chicago and New York, even local media is reporting on it
00:28:21.580
where they're having a number of gangbangers arrested.
00:28:33.420
But then last year in 2023, they arrested 700 of them.
00:28:39.240
And again, this is not looking like you're an illegal alien.
00:28:42.440
These are people, usually it's shoplifting, it's assault,
00:28:45.920
it's, uh, driving without a license, drunk driving.
00:28:48.540
And, you know, I, I've chronicled this for about 15 years.
00:28:52.560
Um, now you can't use the numbers now because Biden doesn't enforce the law,
00:28:56.760
but when Trump was president and they were trying to apprehend people
00:29:00.160
in, in, in just one given year, we would typically get,
00:29:04.400
and this is a reoccurring every year, enough people arrested in that kind of
00:29:10.120
sweep, that net of enforcement to come to account for 2,000
00:29:14.720
homicide related offenses, meaning both, uh, convictions and arrests,
00:29:21.040
1,600 kidnappings, 3,800 robberies, 37,000 assaults, 10,000 sex crimes,
00:29:30.020
The numbers were pretty consistent every single additional year.
00:29:34.920
Now, typically, especially back then before the, you know, George Floyd crime
00:29:38.880
rape, uh, we typically had maybe 14,000, uh, homicide arrests in a given year.
00:29:46.220
So to have 2,000 accounted for among the jurisdiction of ICE, illegal aliens,
00:29:53.240
some of them legal, but, you know, criminal elements that, that are deportable,
00:29:56.380
that is an astounding share. That's one in seven. Um, and again, this is before
00:30:01.440
the Biden wave. So you can imagine now that you're having all these belligerents
00:30:06.300
from Venezuela. Just think about this. Uh, we've had 335,000 Venezuelans come in
00:30:12.580
just in the first few months. Uh, I'm sorry, just in, in 2023, plus Biden granted
00:30:19.060
temporary protected status to 470,000 others, just 834 have been removed. Okay. So that is how
00:30:32.360
What is amazing to me is at the same time, this is going on, by the way, that is exactly what,
00:30:39.380
um, uh, what was his name in Iraq? Saddam Hussein did right before we went in to cause chaos on the
00:30:47.440
streets. He emptied the prisons. That's what Maduro did except into the United States. And his reward
00:30:54.260
for that was the United States allowing him to sell more oil, even to us. Uh, so there, this is,
00:31:02.720
this is a chaos operation, but we're also all seeing, um, stories almost every day. If you're
00:31:10.440
paying attention to it of the, your, your key word, there was belligerent. They feel like they are
00:31:18.440
above the law. They know they're not going to be charged. And so they'll beat police officers. They'll,
00:31:25.200
they'll flip people off. They are super citizens. Almost that's the way they act.
00:31:32.080
And what you're finding, especially in these blue areas is an amalgamation of the invasion
00:31:39.240
and then jailbreak, what they call criminal justice reform in New York city. So they turn
00:31:44.980
out all criminals loose the next day. But in this case you have, you know, the people let out of
00:31:50.560
Rikers Island, domestic criminal criminals being let loose. And then now you have all these Venezuelans
00:31:56.520
coming in, committing crimes, often three or four crimes, and they get released every time.
00:32:03.080
I want to throw out another, another number. That's very important. I've tracked for,
00:32:06.900
for a number of years. There's something called ISIS undetained docket. So what that means by its
00:32:13.620
very nature is these are the people that are on ISIS radar to at least investigate off and target for
00:32:20.200
removal, but they remain undetained right now. There's only about 37,000 people.
00:32:26.500
And ISIS custody. That's about the maximum of what they could handle. The undetained docket is 6.2
00:32:33.560
million. Okay. So I want people. Oh my gosh. 6.2 million out now. I don't have the recent numbers,
00:32:41.120
but in the old days, and I don't think this has changed about 80% were criminal aliens. So they had
00:32:47.940
criminal charges and or convictions in addition to being here illegally. Think about that. There's only
00:32:54.340
five, 6,000 ICE ERO officers, deportation officers around. Limited resources. We already know that
00:33:02.080
under this administration, if you're caught drunk driving, you're not really a priority. That's not
00:33:07.020
considered a high level crime. So there are 6.2 million in their undetained docket. Just think
00:33:15.260
about the needless murder victims, rape victims. And we're seeing this now every day. The media tries
00:33:21.060
to cover it up. We saw, you know, a rape of a minor allegedly committed by an illegal alien
00:33:27.080
south of Lynchburg, Virginia yesterday. There's, it was a case of Montana. I was just looking at
00:33:32.800
this is if the American people would actually know the extent of how many of these heinous crimes are
00:33:39.740
committed by people that should never be here. And there would have been multiple opportunities
00:33:44.620
to get them out. They'd be up in arms. And this would be our George Floyd moment.
00:33:49.780
Imagine if you are a citizen and your governor is telling you, Hey, we need homes for these people.
00:33:58.460
Take them in your home. How stupid do you have to be?
00:34:01.740
I mean, I mean, it's unbelievable. Picture the worst of the bloods in the crypts in your own
00:34:07.780
downtown. That's what we're importing from all over the world. Each country's problems, you know,
00:34:13.640
you'll have some desperate, impoverished people that are kind of peaceful to certainly not in our
00:34:17.740
best interest to let them in. But this time, we are just seeing a total invasion. And what's important
00:34:24.620
is legally, this definitely meets the definition of an invasion under the compact that should trigger
00:34:32.700
state authority for removals. And I think this is where it's important. You know, when you look at
00:34:38.400
that 6.2 million number, you look at what we're seeing now from that individual charge with murdering
00:34:45.600
Lakin Riley, along with his brother, they were caught in a red state here illegally and having
00:34:53.700
committed other crimes prior to this alleged murder. And yet they remained. Some of them are because of
00:35:02.100
sanctuary policies. But sometimes, even if you're not a sanctuary state, but now you have sanctuary nation.
00:35:08.900
So here's the thing. Let's say a state might want to deal with that individual, maybe lock them up.
00:35:15.600
Maybe try to remove them. But ICE now grabs them with a detainer. And now a detainer is a
00:35:21.220
double-edged sword because they'll place a detainer enough that the state cannot enforce the law against
00:35:28.880
them. But it's not like the feds are going to actually remove them or even detain them.
00:35:33.360
They're going to be on their undetained docket out free to commit more crimes. This is where the red
00:35:39.880
state governors need to get together and say, look, if we catch someone here illegally,
00:35:45.600
committing an assault, a drunk driving, they need to be out of here.
00:35:50.020
Daniel, can you address one more thing before you go, which is the media's response to this
00:35:55.220
talk every time is to say, well, actually, immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than
00:36:05.680
Sure. So they're right in a sense. Immigrants. OK, so legal immigrants on average commit fewer
00:36:17.200
crimes. And the reason is because on average, they come to the United States at an older age
00:36:23.260
that's past the sort of criminal career age, you know, 16 to 30. They're usually older when they
00:36:30.100
when they come. They're more established. With that, I would say there are certain pockets of the world
00:36:34.360
that we accept immigrants, even legally, that still commit too many crimes because the amount
00:36:38.580
of crimes that should be committed are zero because they're vetted. You know, it's kind of
00:36:42.380
like a draft pick. You get your choice. You could pick your immigrants. You can't pick your natives,
00:36:47.620
native born, that is. But as it relates to the people coming from the border, again,
00:36:52.420
you look, you know, if we just have a minute, I want to give you a statistic that is, again,
00:36:59.000
is astounding. You have about 45 seconds before I have to break. In 2020, Trump's ICE director,
00:37:05.240
Matt Albans, he said that in one year in New York City, they issued 7,500 ICE detainers.
00:37:13.840
And out of those individuals, they included 200 homicides. Okay. Oh, my God. I looked up that area
00:37:21.960
of operation. There were fewer than 300 people arrested for all homicides in that area of ICE's
00:37:28.520
operation in one year. I'm not saying they necessarily commit two thirds. You have to study
00:37:32.960
that. But it is surely greater than their share of the population. Daniel Horowitz, you can hear his
00:37:40.660
podcast on the Blaze, Blaze TV. He did a whole podcast about this yesterday. And he's always,
00:37:49.020
always really buttoned up and, and has a different view on a lot of things that I think you should
00:37:55.660
hear. Daniel, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Take care.
00:38:02.940
Here's some irony for you. You know what kind of scams are on the rise these days?
00:38:06.500
IRS scams. I mean, well, people claiming to be the IRS. I mean, there is the IRS, the official
00:38:15.600
legal IRS scam that they run all the time. But now people, you know, pretending to be the IRS
00:38:24.080
and they take your money and then you still have to pay the real IRS. Who's worse, the scammers or
00:38:30.540
the IRS? Anyway, this is why you need LifeLock. Your personal information gets exposed so often it
00:38:36.600
makes it really dangerously easy for a cyber criminal to come in and just steal your name,
00:38:41.960
your identity, steal your money. The loans can be taken out in your name. But if that happens,
00:38:48.720
there's somebody standing guard. And I think they're the best in the business. It's LifeLock by
00:38:53.160
Norton. If you become a victim of identity theft and you're a client of LifeLock by Norton,
00:38:58.480
they not only catch all the things that you might miss, but if they do miss something,
00:39:03.780
because it's constantly changing, they have a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist that's
00:39:09.440
going to work to fix it. Your first year with a promo code BECK, you'll save 25%. It's 1-800-LIFELOCK,

00:39:28.480
After you've tried all the big names, you realize what is missing. Personal touch. There's
00:39:40.740
something about the making of something yourself, making it by hand. That gives a thing its own
00:39:45.200
signature feel. And that's especially true when it comes to deciding what kind of drink you're
00:39:49.000
going to have after a long day. And every day seems like a long day these days, doesn't it?
00:39:52.880
Small batch spirits are the only way to enjoy the finest types of alcohol the U.S.A. has to offer.
00:39:58.360

They've also jumped into this world of the canned cocktails, which I'm lazy. And I just love the fact
00:40:11.780
that I can have one that's perfectly mixed. And I'm scrolling down and I'm looking for the
00:40:15.080

00:40:57.880
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Stu is strangely fascinated by this Wendy Williams story, which I
00:41:18.460
really, I mean, I don't. I am. I'm not sure I know who she is. Yeah, that's understandable. My wife used
00:41:25.820
to watch her show years and years ago and she was a radio personality. She came from the world of radio
00:41:30.060
and she got this big show and kind of seemed like it was hard to understand. I didn't understand how
00:41:35.760
she was getting super famous and have got a big show, but she did. And there's a lot of that going
00:41:40.660
around. Yeah. I mean, you, you're a great example of it. So, uh, I don't wait. So she became really
00:41:47.680
famous and got this big show on daytime TV, became a big thing. And then like suddenly started having
00:41:53.220
kind of weird health problems and would like miss months and months of the show at a time.
00:41:58.280
And, uh, it was kind of like, it was just a strange story. Like what was going on with her?
00:42:03.320
And apparently like this went right down the road and it didn't look great. She eventually was planning
00:42:08.660
a comeback, plan a documentary to come film her comeback for this, for her show. And it went the
00:42:16.500
opposite direction. Like her whole life fell apart and it got terrible to the, to the extent that I
00:42:22.040
guess she was drinking so much that, uh, maybe it forced some sort of dementia to hit her. And now
00:42:31.700
she like, it has, she got put under a conservatorship or a guardianship type of situation that
00:42:37.020
guardian seems to be blocking her from her family in some way. And the cameras were there for all of
00:42:42.500
it. So it's a crazy documentary just aired this weekend. I've not seen it yet, but the story is
00:42:46.620
fascinating. What did it air on? I think it was a lifetime maybe. Uh, I don't know, but I mean,
00:42:52.640
it, that's still a network. It's still on, it's still a network. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. So we're learning
00:42:58.240
all sorts of new things. It's been a long time since I've touched the television to turn the TV on
00:43:03.100
and let cable just spill into the house. I know you're, it's, it's a funny observation,
00:43:08.820
but I could not find it. I tried to watch it. I have absolutely, I could not locate where to watch the
00:43:42.280
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:44:03.220
Are we hurtling towards world war three and who wants it? Why does the administration seem to
00:44:12.160
want world war three? And now the New York times I'll explain in 60 seconds.
00:44:19.820
First, real estate agents, I trust.com. When it comes up to sell your home or buy a new home,
00:44:27.140
you want somebody that is the best, somebody who can tell you when you're selling your home,
00:44:32.280
you're going to have to make repairs. Some of them are in needed repairs, but also a few repairs here
00:44:37.760
and there can boost the value of your home market. So you need somebody that has a home repair
00:44:43.540
contractor in the Rolodex, in their phone that doesn't cut corners. A lot of them cut corners.
00:44:48.820
You don't want that. This is just one of the many things that a real estate agent can help you with
00:44:54.120
that is really, really important. And only a really competent agent, one that you could trust,
00:45:00.440
can have the right person and the right people involved in the selling of your home. When you
00:45:06.800
trust your agent, you'll trust the people he or she trusts, inspectors, appraisers, home repair
00:45:11.400
contractors, even the photographer makes all the difference. My company is dedicated 100% to pairing
00:45:18.360
you with a real estate agent that you can trust. So whether you're buying, selling, or just have a few
00:45:24.720
questions, we've been helping this audience for over 10 years through billions of dollars in sales.
00:45:32.040
It's realestateagentsitrust.com. The name says it all. Go to realestateagentsitrust.com. That's
00:45:37.900
realestateagentsitrust.com. I want you to listen to this story from the New York Times and just help me
00:45:47.820
out a bit, will you? Sure, of course. Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears
00:45:55.040
abandoned and destroyed. Its command center, a burned out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile
00:46:02.280
barrage early in the war. But that is only what's above ground. Not far away, a secret passageway
00:46:11.420
descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites
00:46:18.480
and eavesdrops on communications and conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red
00:46:26.440
line followed the route of an explosive drone through as they threaded through the Russian air
00:46:31.500
defenses from the point in central Ukraine to target in the Russian city of Rostov. Now, Stu,
00:46:40.440
I don't think this is a secret when it's in the New York Times. But my first question here is,
00:46:51.100
why would the New York Times be talking about something that's just a few yards away
00:46:56.220
from a military base? It's probably not hard to narrow this down from a military base where there's
00:47:01.960
hardened bunkers tracking everything and sending the drones that they're trying to stop. Why would the
00:47:08.520
New York Times put that in here? It seems a good story. It seems like a bad move. If you want Ukraine
00:47:16.600
to be victorious in a war, you wouldn't necessarily want to tip your hand to the Russians. You're right,
00:47:21.920
obviously, they don't give specifics exactly. But again, this is probably something they could
00:47:26.840
pretty easily narrow down. So yeah, so why would you do this? So now the next paragraph comes in.
00:47:36.320
The Russian underground, sorry, the underground bunker built to replace the destroyed command
00:47:42.540
center in the months after Russia's invasion is a secret nerve. It's not secret if I'm reading about it
00:47:50.180
in the new is a secret nerve center of the Ukrainian military. But there's also one more secret that now
00:47:58.500
that we're printing it is no longer a secret. The base is almost fully financed and partially equipped
00:48:05.680
by the CIA. General Cerny Dorsky said 110%. Really? 110%? That's true? It took root a decade ago,
00:48:21.480
coming together in fits and starts under three very different US presidents, pushing forward by key
00:48:28.100
individuals who often took daring risks. It had transformed Ukraine, whose intelligence agencies
00:48:34.820
were long seen as thoroughly compromised by Russia into one of Washington's most trusted and important
00:48:41.640
intelligence partners against the Kremlin today. The CIA helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies
00:48:49.960
who operate inside of Russia, across Europe and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large
00:48:59.640
presence. Well, that's helpful. Can we reveal the knock list too?
00:49:04.820
The relationship is so ingrained that the CIA officers remained at a remote location in western Ukraine
00:49:13.700
when the Biden administration evacuated US personnel in the weeks before Russia evaded.
00:49:20.120
During the invasion, the officers relayed critical intelligence, including where Russia was planning
00:49:26.640
strikes and which weapons systems and which weapons systems they would use. The Russian head of the Russian or sorry, the head of the Ukrainian domestic intelligence agency said without the CIA, we would have been there would be no way for us to resist the Russians or to beat them. Oh. Now, Stu. Why would the New York Times print this?
00:49:57.900
That could be one potential explanation. Like you're trying to spark a flame that will result in all of us being lit on fire and a fiery explosion across the entire globe?
00:50:15.440
What would make you jump to something like that?
00:50:19.440
Well, it seems like if what you're if the basic argument is actually we've been spying on Russia through Ukraine this entire time and these suspicions of Vladimir Putin that the West is using Ukraine for these types of purposes are well, well, have a pretty viable foundation of truth.
00:50:44.000
That seems to be a terrible, terrible thing to be throwing into the New York Times.
00:50:49.140
Now, look, I would assume the Russian military is aware of a lot of these things already.
00:50:54.820
I mean, this is obviously their their their job and their business, but I don't think drawing more attention to it is a good idea.
00:51:02.680
So let me ask you, it's implied and pretty much everybody knows that Russia and China are hacking into our systems, that Russia has hacked into our power grid, et cetera, et cetera.
00:51:16.720
But what does Putin say about it in the Russian media?
00:51:25.060
OK, what if it came out in Pravda and it quoted the head of the operation in Russia?
00:51:38.080
We have been targeting their critical infrastructure for years now.
00:51:47.180
Canada has been working with us to make sure the Niagara Falls power plant is the first of all.
00:52:02.400
Let me give you a couple of stories that show that this is wanted by too many people.
00:52:12.100
Jan Stoltenberg said that there was no doubt that Ukraine would join NATO as Western leaders gathered in Kiev to pledge support and mark the second anniversary of Russia's full scale invasion.
00:52:26.120
The NATO chief said on Saturday that Russia President Vladimir Putin started this war because he wanted to close NATO's door.
00:52:38.980
Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before.
00:52:46.860
He said NATO is helping Kiev to make its forces more and more interoperable.
00:52:55.520
No, it is not a question of if, but of when, he insisted.
00:53:00.420
On the same weekend, we have NATO, what Putin said was the real problem.
00:53:07.980
They were going to expand NATO to places like Ukraine.
00:53:15.320
And also, that's the same weekend that the New York Times reports their secret underground bunkers run by the CIA.
00:53:25.300
Now, if, again, if this was about Canada and Russia said they're expanding their presence and they're going to put military in Canada on our border,
00:53:39.200
and they admitted to, you know, doing secret operations with Canada to be able to destroy us, what would we do?
00:53:59.400
He declared an end to the months-long spat with Sweden over the expansion of NATO,
00:54:06.340
saying that a visit by his Swedish counterparts had rebuilt trust and paved the way for Hungarian parliament to vote on Monday,
00:54:14.660
to ratify the Nordic nation's membership in NATO.
00:54:20.320
We're ready to fight for each other, to give our lives for one another, he said.
00:54:27.060
The sudden warming of relations between the two countries followed a decision by Sweden
00:54:32.040
to provide Hungary with four Swedish-made Gripen fighter jets,
00:54:37.060
an addition to the 14 its air force already uses,
00:54:40.300
and a promise that Saab, the maker of the warplanes,
00:54:43.600
will open an artificial intelligence research center in Hungary.
00:55:03.200
By the way, Sweden, or Hungary did approve that in Sweden,
00:55:23.340
I believe I've heard Orban say those very things.
00:55:40.180
There is a game being played here that, uh, I really don't like.
00:55:52.140
The Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist group praised a far-left extremist
00:55:59.200
who lit himself on fire outside of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. on Sunday
00:56:05.760
and used his death to promote Islamic terrorist propaganda.
00:56:10.020
Aaron Bushnell, a low-level software engineer with the U.S. Air Force,
00:56:18.760
As flames engulfed his body after he doused himself with a flammable liquid
00:56:31.780
Bushnell repeated terrorist propaganda in the moments leading up to the incident,
00:56:35.880
falsely claiming that, um, what was happening inside Gaza was genocide
00:56:43.960
Now, that sounds like a far-left radical, doesn't it?
00:56:49.960
We're not looking for hard-left radicals in the military.
00:56:54.160
Only those Christian nationalists and those who want to have insurrection in the United States.
00:57:27.820
Let us rededicate ourselves to genuine solidarity with the Palestinians.
00:57:32.680
I want you to mark this place in time right now.
00:57:46.080
This makes Aaron into some kind of suicide bomber
00:57:53.060
We are not a culture that rewards suicide or suicide, uh, um, acts, suicidal acts,
00:58:05.620
Instead of one of the 50,000 plus Americans who committed suicide in the last year,
00:58:10.860
instead of mourning another lost life, uh, uh, lost to mental illness,
00:58:22.420
Those who kill themselves for ideology should not be praised.
00:58:50.180
William wrote in to talk about his experience with the relief factor.
00:58:53.060
He says, I just can't believe I'm not hurting anymore.
00:58:57.020
I've been in pain for 40 years, but today I'm pain free.
00:59:07.180
Thanks for listening and giving relief factor a chance.
00:59:11.200
Relief factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by, uh, by fighting inflammation.
00:59:16.860
It is not something that you take when you're in pain.
00:59:19.840
You take it every day and it helps your body just ward it all off.
00:59:24.560
Over a million people have tried relief factors, quick start kit.
00:59:30.720
See how relief factor can help you with their three week quick start.
00:59:41.560
All you have to do is go to 800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:59:46.920
When you feel the difference, you'll know it works.
00:59:54.960
I just want to dwell here for a minute on this suicide and the praise.
01:00:11.660
When you saw somebody set themselves on fire in Washington, D.C.
01:00:21.160
What was the first thing that went through your minds, Stu?
01:00:29.780
That was the first thing that went through my mind.
01:00:37.200
And you have to be insane to light yourself on fire.
01:00:51.920
And how this setting yourself on fire has some history to start movements and revolutions.
01:01:05.340
And are those revolutions from the right or those revolutions from the left?
01:01:12.860
And the guy who said he had a food cart in Tunisia and he set himself on fire, which kicked off the Arab Spring.
01:01:22.960
Did the media and all of the people that were somebodies praise him or say that he was a bad guy?
01:01:37.220
Seems like we have, if we have a box of things to do, just a whole checklist.
01:02:03.140
They are now allowing people who are handicapped, have mental disorders, to be killed.
01:02:13.020
I mean, have we forgotten what happened the last time that this was done?
01:02:24.820
Think about the DAs releasing criminals back onto the streets.
01:02:31.300
We knew that we knew this was some of us knew this was bad when they said we're going to reimagine policing.
01:02:37.140
But it again is ideology more important than life.
01:02:41.940
The border, keeping it open, keeping the border open because of fentanyl, more important than human life.
01:02:56.840
And this suicide and the praise from notable people in America that this is heroic is a very big signpost we just passed.
01:03:17.660
And even in an ideological culture of death, it cannot smooth over the real human pain of losing someone.
01:03:28.040
This is exactly what they do in the Middle East.
01:03:36.200
They praise the people who will commit suicide on behalf of their ideology.
01:03:41.100
You'll notice that the media is covering for this, and no one is talking about investigating to see how this Air Force guy was in the Air Force, and no one caught this.
01:03:54.860
My guess is no one's looking for that kind of extremist.
01:04:06.700
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have placed before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.
01:04:19.160
So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants.
01:04:26.300
We are in a culture of death that has been a wannabe suicide cult.
01:04:33.020
And there are people endorsing this suicide today.
01:04:38.740
If you and your descendants care to live, then you must choose life over ideology.
01:04:56.160
Drug shortages hit a new record high last year.
01:04:58.600
Right now, there are still hundreds of vital medications that aren't available.
01:05:05.880
That's including something as basic and life-saving as amoxicillin.
01:05:14.560
You can't introduce 10 million people into your country and give them access to the health care system.
01:05:21.300
When the health care was built for a country that was 10 million smaller in population.
01:05:28.860
When you have the things of unrest all around the world and we get all of our medicine from someplace else in the world, it's going to happen.
01:05:37.800

So as I lose my voice again, please put up with it for as long as you can.
01:06:39.540
Although, you know, Jason Buttrell is with us and he pointed out that it sounds very sexy, which I was uncomfortable with, quite honestly.
01:06:57.520
I'm from the Georgia District Attorney's Office.
01:07:02.420
Want to leave my phone at your house for a while.
01:07:07.140
So Jason is here to talk a little bit about what's happening with this, this march to war.
01:07:18.080
Doesn't this seem like a antagonizing Putin and Russia between the what they're doing with NATO and this week and what they're also reporting in the New York Times?
01:07:31.420
I mean, I can't think of any helpful reason to the U.S. for these things to be going on.
01:07:41.180
I mean, we've seen a lot of concerning things or escalations happening over the past four years.
01:07:51.800
But I mean, the last few days has been wild when you look at everything all together.
01:07:58.320
When you have the, you know, the head of NATO basically saying, yeah, they're going to be in Ukraine's going to be in NATO.
01:08:14.000
You just said, yeah, everything that, you know, we've been denying to Putin, you know, for the past, you know, and saying, you know, this is why your premise for invasion of Ukraine was wrong.
01:08:24.540
You just justified it to him and to all the people that support Putin.
01:08:30.840
You have, again, this is all happening within a matter of like 72 hours.
01:08:35.560
Then you have the president of France saying, yeah, there's a send in military high possibility that, yeah, NATO troops will be going into Ukraine.
01:08:46.940
People of Ukraine shouted out and said, oh, dear God, no, that will guarantee our loss.
01:09:01.080
But you also have, you know, the spy chief over in Ukraine saying, yeah, well, you know, Putin probably didn't kill Navalny, you know, in the prison.
01:09:18.200
That was actually a thing that started crystallizing everything for me.
01:09:21.460
You have a new United States, you know, leadership potentially coming in, you know, within the next few months.
01:09:26.900
You have a Republican Party in the United States that's not too keen on continually funding this forever war.
01:09:34.560
There's a little bit of doubt as far as how far this is going to go.
01:09:38.280
And for me, this is the rest of the world saying, you know, whether it's NATO, whether it's Macron, whether it's now the Ukrainian spy chief.
01:09:49.840
We're not calling it World War Three at the moment.
01:09:58.880
This is the new reality that we face right now.
01:10:03.280
More people are probably going to be at war with Russia.
01:10:05.860
And these are this is this side against this side.
01:10:14.800
Imagine that is a frightening future to contemplate how this plays out.
01:10:22.920
So let me ask you that when you when you look at this, to me, it all seems antagonistic.
01:10:31.820
You know, it's it seems like we can't necessarily get the funding from the United States, United States, people, United States are not willing to do it.
01:10:41.280
So let's just keep poking Putin until he responds and says, screw you, people.
01:10:55.260
They see when I say they I mean, like the foreign policy elite.
01:10:59.280
And let me preface this by saying I blame a lot of the old guard that were so successful during the Cold War for where we are now.
01:11:07.120
Because we are still following that same playbook, you know, think about like, think about like talking heads like or intellectuals like big new Brzezinski, which I'll never be able to pronounce that name.
01:11:17.600
He wrote a book right after the end of the Cold War.
01:11:21.120
And I cannot remember the name of it at the moment.
01:11:26.960
Now NATO and you expect him to say what needs to redirect or, you know, like focus on, you know, the world needs to focus on things.
01:11:33.540
No, he says the NATO now needs to push ahead, needs to push forward.
01:11:37.340
And he labels all these different countries that NATO now needs to add under its wing.
01:11:41.940
And I remember reading this in college and I'm like, wait, well, why?
01:11:45.440
You won the war and the stated purpose of NATO now does not exist.
01:11:50.820
And the Russians said from the get go, like, these are the things that will destroy this relationship.
01:12:05.220
I mean, we directly promised to the Russians that we would not do some of these things.
01:12:10.640
Again, I am not justifying what Russia has done here.
01:12:19.360
A chain of events that has caused this and has been, has at least inflamed this to the point where this sort of action was in their minds.
01:12:30.560
You have to justify what you just said with I'm not condoning.
01:12:36.220
But to say that a few months ago was like, oh, my gosh, Stu loves Putin.
01:12:42.980
Acknowledging that other nations have, you know, interests.
01:12:46.900
And you should not cross these lines because that's against their interests.
01:13:00.360
And we did that because Ukraine said we are on the border with these crazy people.
01:13:08.120
And we said without any real written agreement, don't worry.
01:13:13.220
You give those things up and we'll have your back if it ever happens.
01:13:20.960
If you want to be people of honor, I think we should be people of honor.
01:13:29.780
You know, we shouldn't have been fooling around with NATO in the first place with Ukraine.
01:13:43.720
I mean, again, within that last, that 72-hour period, which was just nuts, Sweden jumps on board, finally clears the hurdle with Hungary, which that also did not make sense.
01:13:54.000
That was another thing that kind of made a lot of this stuff kind of like was really eye-opening this week.
01:13:59.480
You know, Sweden, you know, Turkey is finally saying, fine, let's go ahead and have Sweden join this alliance.
01:14:06.620
There is clearly a mindset now in Eastern Europe that we have gone beyond this point of no return.
01:14:15.360
The things that we were fighting for before that we said, okay, these are going to make Russia back down.
01:14:21.320
This is going to be something that's kind of a diplomat.
01:14:29.360
There are, you know, this Russia, China, Iran, Iranian bloc, whoever else they can, you know, pull under their wing.
01:14:35.780
And then there's the West under this NATO, you know, alliance.
01:14:42.780
They, you know, are not even making the attempt to look like we're going to scale back, de-escalate.
01:14:51.340
I really don't think, at this point, if we get a new administration in, you know, next year, will anything change?
01:15:02.800
Okay, I need about a one-minute answer from both of these because we're running out of time.
01:15:09.000
I read a story today that Israel has taken off the gloves against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and they're pummeling them in Syria.
01:15:22.520
And Israel is saying, we're taking this, we are not concerned about a widening war.
01:15:31.280
We are concerned with eliminating our enemy before they eliminate us.
01:15:36.120
At the same time, Biden says he hopes for a Gaza ceasefire by next week.
01:15:46.940
Well, I think that the Biden administration knows what Israel has to do here.
01:15:55.360
They're going to do everything in their power to, you know, to make it appear to that radical wing here in the United States that they're for de-escalation.
01:16:03.740
No one sees de-escalation in the Gaza Strip, Israel and Iran.
01:16:08.280
All right, so let me take you one last place that I love your thoughts on.
01:16:22.400
He goes out in front of the Israeli embassy over the weekend.
01:16:26.080
He sets himself on fire and becomes a, what, Islamic martyr maybe?
01:16:34.720
Cornell West comes out and says, let us never forget the extraordinary courage and commitment of brother Aaron Bushnell, who died for truth and justice.
01:16:47.420
Let us rededicate ourselves to genuine solidarity with Palestinians undergoing genocidal attacks in real time.
01:16:54.580
So we have people of note, Cornell West is not a nobody, people of note actually praising a suicide, a guy for ideology over life, and he was in the Air Force.
01:17:12.340
I mean, it doesn't surprise me at all in this day and age, in this military.
01:17:16.900
This is the military that stood the entire force down to find all those crazy white extremists.
01:17:24.460
I mean, the focus clearly is not on defense of the country.
01:17:33.580
That is, I mean, where have you seen ideology being, you know, pushed into militaries?
01:17:45.420
They use the military as this ideological force.
01:17:48.980
And that is the scary thing about the current, you know, the state of the current, you know, armed forces in the United States.
01:17:57.680
People like Cornell West, that doesn't surprise me at all that he would say something like that, because to them, ideology always trumps humanity.
01:18:04.480
And using people as tools, no issue whatsoever with that.
01:18:08.980
Would this guy have been spotted most likely before?
01:18:14.580
Because you don't go from, hey, Bill, see you Monday, to setting yourself on fire.
01:18:21.660
People had to know that he was, at least ideologically, really bent this direction.
01:18:29.520
Would that have happened when you were in the service?
01:18:33.020
Oh, that person would have been found immediately.
01:18:34.900
Do you remember that one story of that, what that was a officer graduate where he had like a picture of Che like underneath his hat and he showed that he was outed by his people immediately.
01:18:47.260
Now, if you're willing to set yourself on fire for a terrorist ideology, you know, people saw that.
01:18:53.560
But if I'm a commander now, how do you even stand up to that?
01:18:58.700
You know, it's going straight to Lloyd Austin's office.
01:19:05.300
Jason, as always, you didn't improve my mood much, but I appreciate sharing all of the information.
01:19:15.420
It's going to be interesting to see how all this works out.
01:19:19.600
Back in a second, let me tell you about Mantis X.
01:19:22.060
If you're a gun owner, you know as well as I do that there is nothing quite as satisfying as hitting what you're aiming at.
01:19:29.240
You also know that in order to do that on a regular basis, you have to practice a lot, and that is very expensive.
01:19:36.620
How do you do that without spending a fortune on ammunition?
01:19:40.240
Well, what you need is a way to get good practice in, even if you're using live ammo or not using any ammo.
01:19:47.940
This is a high-tech, easy-to-use system used now widely by the military.
01:19:54.880
It helps you improve your shooting really quickly.
01:19:57.300
You just attach this to your firearm, connect it with an app on your smartphone or your tablet with Bluetooth.
01:20:03.960
Then, whether you're firing actual rounds or dry-firing practice, it'll give you instant feedback on exactly what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong.
01:20:12.840
And 94% of the shooters improve within 20 minutes after using Mantis X.
01:20:17.600
Be responsible as a gun owner and increase your competence and confidence today with Mantis X.
01:20:32.000
Subscribe to the Glenn Beck Podcast anywhere podcasts are found.
01:21:01.180
Twelve minutes after the hour, Doris Kearns Goodwin is going to be coming up.
01:21:09.980
He looks actually worse than Don Imus, who's been dead for several years.
01:21:14.380
And that has nothing to do with his actual ailment currently, which is his voice is shot.
01:21:20.720
So, he is stepping away from the microphone here.
01:21:28.260
He's been struggling with us for a few days now.
01:21:34.780
And I don't know what else he's been doing around the studios.
01:21:38.000
He's, I don't know what, he really is a mess with his health.
01:21:44.600
So, one of the things we haven't even really touched on is the Michigan primary, which is today.
01:21:51.980
And I don't know, I don't want to spend too much time on it.
01:21:53.780
You know, a while ago, Donald Trump said we would get tired of winning.
01:21:59.060
I don't know if that's exactly happened, but I will say he has made the primary boring.
01:22:03.580
He has ruined the primary season for all of us.
01:22:15.740
And it's just, it's not even interesting anymore to talk about.
01:22:29.860
And because of this conflict, you now have two separate batches of delegates going out.
01:22:39.820
There seems to be two warring factions among the Republicans for the convention.
01:22:44.240
As to who's going to apply those later delegates.
01:22:48.260
But all of this really, you know, awful sort of inside baseball politics and the drama associated with that, it really is meaningless.
01:23:00.120
Because obviously Trump is going to win and is winning by a large margin.
01:23:04.080
We do have Super Tuesday, of course, coming up as well.
01:23:06.320
But, you know, look, there's not really much to watch for in these elections.
01:23:11.020
Nikki Haley going to probably stick in through Super Tuesday.
01:23:18.340
I think there's 20 different states over the next week or so that will give you delegates.
01:23:27.340
It's basically as up in the air as the Biden re-election is up in the air.
01:24:15.700
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:24:31.920
Well, the media has gone insane, even more than normal.
01:24:39.140
They're going farther and farther, whether it goes to the Israel-Hamas situation,
01:24:49.620
whether it goes to whether we should have more children.
01:24:54.640
We get to Joy Reid and Taylor Lorenz and so much more here coming up in just about 60 seconds.
01:25:02.360
But the day may come when you have to defend yourself or your family with lethal force.
01:25:07.420
It's your right as an American to do so, of course.
01:25:09.740
And it's your God-given responsibility to your family to do so.
01:25:13.320
But, you know, of course, we're very pro-Sec Amendment here at The Blaze.
01:25:18.820
Even the amendments that don't seem like they're in favor anymore.
01:25:27.560
It's not always necessary to have lethal force on your side.
01:25:31.380
First, one thing, you can sometimes go to jail.
01:25:33.720
Beyond that, you may have injured or killed someone.
01:25:36.000
And that's not always easy to live with, even if it was justified.
01:25:38.840
For those situations where you don't need lethal force, there's the Berna launcher.
01:25:43.360
Government agencies and police departments all over the country rely on Berna every day
01:25:51.280
So, these things look like, you know, your normal firearm.
01:25:58.280
And it's just, first of all, they're really cool.
01:26:00.220
And they're fun to use for target practice and such.
01:26:03.280
You get to reuse the ammo, which is really cool if you know how much ammo costs.
01:26:06.960
But the whole point here is that Berna is a great option for you, especially if you have
01:26:13.040
someone in your family who wants to protect themselves, but is maybe a little bit hesitant
01:26:19.580
It's proudly American, manufactured in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
01:26:31.740
All right, it is Stu Bergeer in for Glenn, who had to leave with his voice kind of just
01:26:44.380
Jason Buttrell asked him to stick around here as we're going into something that I know you've
01:26:48.400
spent a lot of time thinking about, Jason, the situation in Israel.
01:26:53.600
And the way the media is handling it, to me, is fascinating.
01:26:56.040
I want to give you this tweet from Cornel West.
01:26:58.800
We discussed it briefly last hour, but this was his reaction to Aaron Bushnell, this military
01:27:06.120
member who decided to light himself on fire to protest.
01:27:12.200
People need to learn that lighting yourself on fire is just a terrible way of going about
01:27:19.500
Let us never forget the extraordinary courage and commitment of brother Aaron Bushnell, who
01:27:30.060
I pray for his precious loved ones, exclamation point.
01:27:35.140
Let us rededicate ourselves to genuine solidarity with Palestinians undergoing genocidal attacks
01:27:46.840
Hashtag Aaron Bushnell, hashtag free Palestine.
01:27:51.140
And you look at this and there's a hundred ways you can react to this.
01:27:56.420
He's going to be on your presidential ballot, most likely as an independent in your state.
01:28:01.440
But you start with like, I don't know, the jumping to this, you know, commitment and courage
01:28:15.000
If you're lighting yourself on fire, you're committed.
01:28:20.780
Only in a society that has just de-emphasized the sanctity of life to the extent that we
01:28:26.680
have here in this country would lighting yourself on fire be something that you'd just sit back
01:28:30.380
and say, oh, wow, what a wonderful thing to do.
01:28:32.840
We can get into the substance of the argument behind that.
01:28:35.540
But Jason, like when you look at this, you see, I think, a bunch of crazy people telling
01:28:43.200
And that's not a that's not a good foundation for a society.
01:28:49.240
If no serious country in the world acts this way.
01:28:53.200
I mean, I'm sure there was crazy people like Cornel West and other other countries across
01:28:58.940
But I don't think they're treated as seriously as they are in this country.
01:29:02.600
And I'm sure, like, has anybody in the media, you know, condemned Cornel West for talking
01:29:12.240
I mean, I think the only thing that Cornel West is doing wrong right now in the eyes of
01:29:15.540
the media is getting on these ballots and potentially siphoning a few votes from Joe Biden.
01:29:20.820
Other than that, I think they approve of his actions, you know, 100 percent.
01:29:28.080
And I was just reading there was a new Gallup poll.
01:29:30.920
And I think like distrust in the media was now it was well over 50 percent.
01:29:34.960
So, I mean, you're talking about over, you know, what over over 100,000 people, 150,000
01:29:40.860
people or whatever do not think the media represents their interests.
01:29:45.280
In fact, they think they're actually hostile to them.
01:29:47.820
I have a hilarious story, actually, with I went to cover the opening of the American embassy
01:29:58.640
So they had like we were right there at the border of Gaza.
01:30:01.560
And there was this media row where there was like CNN, you know, and, you know, and all
01:30:07.580
And then it was us, you know, from the blaze trying to get included.
01:30:11.360
And finally, I was just like, I never name drop, but I was like, I went to the this soldier
01:30:18.460
that was kind of like the assistant to the main media guy.
01:30:21.520
And I was like, hey, I'm I'm the writer and researcher for Glenn Beck.
01:30:25.700
And she looked at me and she's like, hang on just one second.
01:30:31.600
And this guy is is giving these interviews and you could tell it's hostile.
01:30:35.840
You know, he's just like, you know, he's like he's looking flustered.
01:30:38.240
And she stops him in the middle of an interview with one of these big outlets, whispers into
01:30:42.340
his ear and he goes and you can't tell him to say, but he mouths Glenn Beck.
01:30:46.940
And she like she points over and he's like, hey, come on over.
01:30:52.780
This is the one place in the world where this tactic works, by the way.
01:30:56.440
If you use it to try to get a table at a restaurant, I can assure you, you no longer you either
01:31:00.920
will not get the table or you will have spit in your food.
01:31:03.760
Anywhere in New York, you know, that's not working for you.
01:31:15.600
And like in our first question was I was like, Lieutenant Colonel, can you please just
01:31:20.200
tell us the context for why Israel is having to fire back and protect this border?
01:31:25.560
And he it was like a wave of like relief over his face.
01:31:29.800
And then he just proceeds to go on and talks about all these grenades that are lobbed over
01:31:37.100
And it's nothing of what you hear in the mainstream media.
01:31:40.220
They never talk about why Israel has to respond.
01:31:46.760
And then they weave it into the whatever narrative that they want to do probably was given to
01:31:55.300
You never get the actual truth from the mainstream media anymore.
01:31:58.540
I don't know when that shift happened, but it's insane.
01:32:03.720
I mean, it seems like there was definitely a tipping point in 2015, 2016 when Donald Trump's
01:32:11.440
Like I think that there is a situation where they decided they decided at some point.
01:32:16.300
And maybe it was even after his first election, honestly, where they decided it was no longer
01:32:22.680
okay to try to cover the news and be liberal, but try to give the appearance that you were
01:32:33.300
This idea, like the Hillary Clinton emails is a great example of this.
01:32:38.460
As a conservative, I wasn't happy with the way they covered it.
01:32:42.000
Like I wasn't like, oh, wow, they're doing a great job unearthing all of this stuff on Hillary
01:32:46.740
To me, it felt like they were ignoring a lot of the stuff that we did now.
01:32:50.360
However, the way they dealt with that was, hey, this Hillary Clinton email thing is going
01:32:59.400
That is not how they covered the Hunter Biden laptop story.
01:33:03.500
They made a decision in that period to switch from, hey, this is what's going on.
01:33:09.680
And let me try to talk you out of caring about it into that's not even going on.
01:33:16.320
We're just going to ignore it and act as if it was not even a thing.
01:33:19.760
They did that successfully, I think, in 2020 with the Hunter Biden situation.
01:33:23.760
And they've they're just doubling and tripling down on this.
01:33:26.880
And I think their internal excuse is that Trump is so uniquely terrible that we have to
01:33:34.320
I'm sure the next president is going to get the same treatment if it's the next Republican
01:33:38.020
nominee is going to get the same treatment as Trump.
01:33:43.260
And I think that the it's funny because the Cornell Wests of the world have always been
01:33:50.900
You know, intellectual radicals that have really way out their opinions.
01:33:54.640
And they've been on the fringes of our society for decades.
01:34:00.280
You saw this with CRT, where like these people who formed CRT, this isn't a new thing.
01:34:05.560
This has been around for a long time, but it was not permeating the mainstream culture.
01:34:09.960
And I think with the media, basically what we're having now is the entire upcoming up and
01:34:16.020
coming generation of journalists seem to be Cornel West.
01:34:20.440
Like the entire media is turning into Cornel West.
01:34:27.560
We used to be in a situation where, yes, they were left leaning, but they were totally different
01:34:33.060
and understood that 50 percent of the country disagreed with them.
01:34:38.080
Yeah, and before I get to your point there, it was interesting, right when Trump was elected
01:34:43.040
president, I think it was the Washington Post hilariously like issued this statement about
01:34:47.220
how they were rededicating, you know, their efforts to the truth.
01:34:53.540
They're like, oh, now there's a conservative in here and Obama's out.
01:34:58.780
I think that, I think the Obama administration, and I'm sure, you know, people could go way back
01:35:02.980
beyond, you know, as far as when, you know, the media really started kind of engaging left-wing,
01:35:08.060
But there were some insane things going on during the Obama administration.
01:35:11.880
Remember they, Obama was the one that established that global engagement center.
01:35:15.940
Was it Richard Stengel or whatever his name was, was the head who in 2019, you're laughing
01:35:22.120
No, it's funny because there were so many of these guys and names in that Obama era and
01:35:29.600
And like, I've done my best to forget about them.
01:35:36.440
Because some just insane things were happening back then.
01:35:38.740
But that Richard guy, he in 2019 wrote an article, I think it was in the Post, I can't
01:35:43.860
remember, where he's basically saying, yeah, we need hate speech laws.
01:35:47.480
You know, there's some law, there's some speech that's too dangerous.
01:35:49.680
So he was advocating for restrictions on the First Amendment.
01:35:53.040
That's who Obama appointed as the head of this global engagement center.
01:35:56.560
But the entire point of that was to basically reach out under the guise of like ISIS or terrorism
01:36:01.740
and look for speech that, you know, we can map and find out who the dangerous people are.
01:36:07.240
You'd have people like Ben Rhodes under the Obama administration, whose sole job was just
01:36:12.140
to lie to the American people so that they could do whatever they wanted to do to push policy.
01:36:15.760
And was so confident in that effort that he told him.
01:36:18.880
He actually said, we were manipulating journalists with our Iran deal coverage.
01:36:25.840
We went to them and we knew they didn't know anything.
01:36:28.980
All these, you know, these media institutions didn't have anybody smart on the job.
01:36:32.620
We would lie to them, tell them what we wanted them to say.
01:36:43.760
Because to your point, like the radicals now are there.
01:36:46.760
I mean, the media now, I think, is looking to the radicals.
01:36:49.480
And a lot of that began in the Obama administration.
01:37:01.400
Because that was exactly what was on display with Taylor Lorenz the other day.
01:37:05.960
Let's take a quick break for American financing.
01:37:09.520
How worried are you about your upcoming credit card bills?
01:37:14.120
There's no better time than now to wipe them out and set yourself and your family up for a strong financial future.
01:37:21.720
And right now, American financing can help you access the equity in your home at an interest rate in the fives.
01:37:30.840
All it takes is a 10-minute call to 800-906-2440.
01:37:38.300
And that's just one of the many reasons why they have over 7,200 Google reviews and a 4.7-star rating.
01:37:44.780
I've been a fan of American financing for a long time.
01:37:48.740
And I've heard amazing testimonials from so many people over the years.
01:37:52.040
They've helped thousands of people save real money.
01:37:55.480
And that's important, especially in this economy.
01:37:58.280
So the question you need to ask yourself is, could you be the next person they help on the journey toward a more stable financial future?
01:38:06.100
Don't wait around for things to get better on their own.
01:38:24.740
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:38:41.240
We're talking about the media and how it's going insane.
01:38:44.100
And there's so much to talk about when it comes to this clip with Taylor Lorenz, the journalist who is at the New York Times.
01:38:55.300
And every time she leaves one, she says the last one was too conservative.
01:38:58.360
So, as you guys know, the New York Times is too conservative.
01:39:01.460
But she was interviewing, and she's had back and forth with this person, the woman who runs the libs of TikTok account, obviously on Twitter mainly, is where I see it.
01:39:14.180
I don't know if she's on other platforms as well.
01:39:15.640
But they got into this discussion and did an interview at an outdoor eatery where, to set the scene for you, she is wearing a shirt with a picture of Taylor Lorenz crying from one of her previous interviews on the t-shirt during the interview.
01:39:38.980
I mean, it's like, it's so, like, libs of TikTok known for kind of like, you know, stirring it up on the internet.
01:39:45.260
You'd expect her to wear a shirt of Taylor Lorenz crying.
01:39:47.960
And on the other side is Taylor Lorenz as an absolute caricature of herself in an N95 mask outdoors trying to do this interview.
01:39:57.300
It is as comical as anything you've ever seen in your life.
01:40:00.580
But, just to give you the visuals here, but the audio is just as pleasing.
01:40:05.000
But there is a context that it would be okay to give kids pictures like that of gay sex, anal sex in elementary school?
01:40:16.280
Because, you know who I would defer to on that?
01:40:21.120
I would defer that question to a qualified professional, a sex educator, and say, hey, you're an expert.
01:40:26.920
You've treated tons, you know, you've educated tons of people.
01:40:33.300
I don't think that myself as a journalist or a media personality, I don't think I'm the right one to make that decision.
01:40:40.140
So, I have seen sex educators say that they want these books in schools.
01:40:47.580
I think I would want to talk to the sex educator and rely on whatever the sex educators say.
01:40:52.160
I'm wondering why you feel like you're qualified to be a sex educator when you have no background in that.
01:41:05.040
What's fascinating about this, I mean, there's a hundred things that are fascinating about this.
01:41:09.060
And I love her approach there of saying, like, you know, she doesn't try to fight the sex educator thing.
01:41:14.320
Some sex educators do think this stuff should be in school.
01:41:18.160
And, again, her defensive reaction is exactly what you just spoke about, Jason, which is this automatic surrender of your life and your agency and your decision-making process to outside experts.
01:41:35.060
Like, she says at one point, well, I would want to talk to these experts and see what they said.
01:41:44.120
You have no intellectual curiosity to find out if what they're saying is true or not.
01:41:49.760
And it's almost a defeatist way of living life.
01:41:58.480
What is your purpose in life if all you're doing is looking around and trying to find what the expert says and then just doing that thing?
01:42:08.160
Like, anyone could be a journalist in this day and age.
01:42:15.440
They are so used to being handed the propaganda that they're supposed to say that she couldn't even defend herself on this.
01:42:26.380
Part of the reason why it's hilarious is because she's wearing this N95 mask.
01:42:29.840
And so think about what's the thought process there.
01:42:31.820
First of all, she's gone to the experts who have told her, I guess.
01:42:34.380
Now, first of all, that's not what experts say.
01:42:36.320
We could beat up on experts all day, but experts do not tell you to wear an N95 mask outdoors.
01:42:40.700
I mean, the New York Times itself said there has never been a case of the coronavirus that has been documented outdoors without masks outside of a close conversation.
01:42:57.860
They're four feet away from each other at a table.
01:43:00.000
But beyond that, what is she trying to do here?
01:43:01.880
She's trying to lower the risk of her getting COVID, right?
01:43:04.620
And that's essentially what she's doing wearing this mask.
01:43:06.620
While at the same time, she is sitting four feet away from passing traffic.
01:43:20.680
She's worried about getting COVID as a 27-year-old or something, which gives her almost no risk.
01:43:27.780
And she's sitting there as a car is a giant 5,000-pound vehicle passes four feet behind her.
01:43:36.100
She is much more likely to die by someone there veering into the cafe than she is from COVID-19.
01:43:48.320
You know, there was a picture of, I think it was another Palestine protest or whatever.
01:43:54.780
And they were holding up all these banners and stuff.
01:43:56.340
And there was like 10 kids sitting in the front.
01:44:01.320
And they're all probably like 18, 19, 20, whatever.
01:44:03.480
I don't think that, surely they can't be still scared of the coronavirus.
01:44:13.520
Like if you're like a crazy, like idiot, you know, progressive nut, isn't there something
01:44:18.980
cooler that you could like establish as your flag and not a mask?
01:44:39.900
I'm wearing my N95 mask outdoors, which by the way, is not even what experts say.
01:44:46.840
She says she's giving all of her decision making over to experts, but that's not what
01:44:51.420
There's no experts telling you to wear the N95 mask outside.
01:45:10.400
Well, there is an enormous economic upheaval that is headed our way right now, and it's
01:45:15.660
The Biden economy has been the worst we've seen in, I mean, a while, and it's hitting us
01:45:22.020
And honestly, he's still president, unfortunately, at least for the moment.
01:45:24.860
With conditions this volatile, precious metals can make the difference between protecting

We have more coming up on the media and the mess it has become here on the Glenn Beck Program,
01:46:51.740
Of course, you can check out my show, Stu Does America.
01:46:54.160
It's available every day on YouTube, youtube.com slash studosamerica.
01:46:58.880
By the way, we talked about Israel and Hamas a little bit earlier in the program.
01:47:03.020
We have a great comedy bit up there talking about the mainstream media's treatment of that
01:47:09.760
And we kind of did it with a couple of sportscasters announcing Israel versus Hamas like it's a
01:47:14.580
sporting event, except, of course, they're on Hamas' side overtly.
01:47:18.680
And we're basically just using actual things the media has said or referred to.
01:47:25.720
It is available at youtube.com slash studosamerica, youtube.com slash studosamerica.
01:47:30.300
You can subscribe and get the shows every day, as well as on podcasts and everything else.
01:47:34.880
He, of course, is Glenn's head writer for the TV program and does a lot of his research as well.
01:47:46.940
It's still a couple, two, three weeks out, something like that, but it's soon.
01:47:51.100
And it's about the caravan right to the border here in the past few weeks.
01:47:55.960
You actually embedded yourself with these guys.
01:47:59.160
Yeah, we rode down with the Take Our Border Back convoy.
01:48:02.940
They started, I think, in Virginia, but we jumped on with them in Louisiana and just saw
01:48:08.040
the convoy grow, grow, grow, got to know them, actually asked them what they were doing,
01:48:12.340
what they were all about, things that the media never does.
01:48:15.200
Went to a few of their rallies, but we also went down to Eagle Pass and checked out Shelby
01:48:23.940
Let's just say we found out a lot of interesting things, especially on the border.
01:48:30.060
We found a lot of infuriating things and things that will absolutely surprise you, probably
01:48:36.000
And I was not expecting to get that, but we found that information out in kind of a funny
01:48:40.660
So yeah, you're in for a treat on this for sure.
01:48:42.680
This is all part of the series Blaze TV or Blaze Originals.
01:48:46.100
And this is going to be, I don't know, monthly.
01:48:50.600
Big documentary projects that are independent investigations that you're not going to see
01:48:59.860
You can get 20 bucks off your subscription right now.
01:49:02.360
And now, how similar would you say your coverage was of the border as to if, let's say, Taylor
01:49:11.820
Would you guys have the same viewpoint on this?
01:49:15.940
I mean, to answer that question, I would have to consult an expert, you know, because I'm
01:49:24.080
This is from this clip of Taylor Lorenz and Libs of TikTok hanging out at a lunch and having
01:49:33.680
And let me give you this clip one more time to kind of reset this because it is, there are
01:49:38.500
multiple things in this interview that are central to everything that is wrong with the
01:49:46.360
But there is a context that it would be okay to give kids pictures like that of gay sex,
01:50:01.900
I would defer that question to a qualified professional, a sex educator, and say, hey, you're
01:50:07.720
You've treated tons, you know, you've educated tons of people.
01:50:14.120
I don't think that myself as a journalist or a media personality, I don't think I'm the
01:50:20.940
So I have seen sex educators say that they want these books in schools.
01:50:28.340
I think I would want to talk to the sex educator and rely on whatever the sex educators say.
01:50:32.900
I'm wondering why you feel like you're qualified to be a sex educator when you have no background
01:50:47.500
As I mentioned previously, Taylor Lorenz has basically, like, signed off her responsibility
01:51:02.140
You know, like, we were talking about this with the Wendy Williams story a little bit earlier,
01:51:05.520
where, you know, and this is the Britney Spears was famously, this conservatorship idea.
01:51:11.640
Taylor Lorenz has signed off a conservatorship of her own decision-making process here.
01:51:16.380
She can't think about this issue on her own, whether it would be appropriate for children
01:51:24.420
She so can't bring herself to say that that's a bad idea.
01:51:30.220
And look, experts, a lot of experts do say it's okay.
01:51:36.740
Now, who is the biggest expert about your child?
01:51:45.020
It is literally your God-given and foundational objective in life to make the right decisions
01:51:54.280
And while experts, of course, can give insight on those decisions, right?
01:51:59.900
We all look to medical experts for, you know, medical decisions, but we still make those decisions
01:52:12.200
And if you signed your life away, like Taylor Lorenz seemingly has in certain circumstances
01:52:16.600
where it's convenient like this, you know, I don't...
01:52:24.200
What makes you different than the main character of the Lego movie, right?
01:52:29.220
Where everything is awesome and you go to work every day and everybody tells you what
01:52:33.400
to do and you live this life and you never make a decision out of the mold.
01:52:37.000
What is the point of you as an individual if you don't even put thought into a massive
01:52:51.760
And to expand this one extra layer here, right before this interaction, and it was edited out
01:52:57.860
because in the interaction, they show the actual book.
01:53:03.640
If we can't show it on national television to adults, why would it be appropriate for
01:53:17.640
And of course, Taylor Lorenz says that this stuff isn't even happening.
01:53:24.700
And Taylor Lorenz has a pretty honest reaction to it.
01:53:32.920
She kind of catches herself in the middle of the reaction, but she's reacting in shock.
01:53:38.100
Like, wow, this is actual like cartoon pornography for kids.
01:53:42.680
And she eventually catches herself and gets the expert thing.
01:53:46.100
But what's fascinating about that, maybe at its core, is that these photos...
01:53:52.700
And I say photos, it's actually a drawing, but it was a picture of the drawing.
01:53:56.700
I have seen pictures of this drawing probably a hundred times online because we talk about
01:54:07.820
It is not something that is a positive image to be seen by anybody, adult or child.
01:54:15.320
But I have seen it just because we talk about this issue.
01:54:20.160
It has been in basic news coverage about the story.
01:54:23.300
Here's Taylor Lorenz, who has written about this numerous times, who has written about
01:54:27.180
this woman, Libs of TikTok, numerous times, who has covered this issue and shown how evil
01:54:34.640
conservatives are online about it numerous times, is sitting at an interview with this
01:54:40.220
woman, Libs of TikTok, and has never before seen these images.
01:54:45.700
How is it possible as a journalist to go through months and months and months of coverage of
01:54:51.840
this topic and have not even bothered to check, to see what is in these books?
01:54:59.620
She has not made motion one to try to understand the argument of the other side, which is
01:55:06.720
overwhelmingly convincing when you see the actual pictures.
01:55:11.320
It's just a total destruction of what journalism was, Jason.
01:55:19.000
I mean, this is an entire generation of people that have grown up and they've been taught in
01:55:26.780
The universities no longer teach them how to think.
01:55:31.120
And that's this entire generation, which I kind of think we should take advantage of
01:55:36.600
I would love to draw up a bunch of contracts where they basically sign over everything to
01:55:42.700
They're not going to do their own homework on it.
01:55:45.060
Yeah, we just have to bring an expert along saying, this expert says you should sign it.
01:55:48.980
I love in that clip, she keeps on saying, that was like her big thing to turn it back around
01:55:54.400
on the Libs of TikTok chick was like, oh, I just want to know why you think you're
01:56:05.360
Yes, very obviously, she just doesn't want porn to be shown to kids.
01:56:09.080
If you can't come to that conclusion on your own without someone standing over, what else
01:56:15.740
And this, I hate to say it, has led to every genocidal tragedy in our world's history.
01:56:22.800
It's always a bunch of experts saying that that group of people is inferior.
01:56:30.540
There are always intellectual elites at the top of the chain that say, those people are
01:56:38.260
And like, it is obviously what she's doing here is not equivalent to that, but the mindset
01:56:45.540
When you sign away your personal agency and act as if you cannot determine what is right
01:56:53.880
When you can't do it, you have to give up that right to somebody else, somebody far away,
01:56:58.700
somebody in a bureaucracy, somebody who can make those decisions because they're special.
01:57:03.240
And they've decided that, look, black people shouldn't be able to have the same water fountains.
01:57:13.540
You don't, you know, you don't get to go in front of the court and say, well, they, I was
01:57:21.380
You morally have a, a, an obligation to put your own mind into the process.
01:57:32.420
You can't just assign all decision-making to someone else because you think it's going
01:57:42.900
It's a nice way to try to win an argument at a cafe where you're four feet away from
01:57:45.880
being hit by an SUV, but it is not a, it is not a way to make a decision for yourself.
01:57:52.440
And it's certainly no way to own your own freaking life.
01:57:58.240
And you can see, this is why she's constantly a victim of everything, right?
01:58:16.080
She's constantly a victim of all of her surroundings because she has no control over it.
01:58:20.580
She's assigned control of her life to everyone around her.
01:58:26.000
You remember that there was a push from the media.
01:58:30.980
But they, the media collectively, almost like they were handed this, you know, talking point
01:58:35.040
where their big boogeyman was the words, do your own homework.
01:58:48.080
I mean, cause Glenn would say that all the time as a way of saying like, hey, like, don't
01:58:52.220
You should go and look this stuff up and understand it for yourself.
01:59:00.480
I mean, but if that, if that's what your entire belief system is based off of, you know,
01:59:04.780
which is complete and totally lazy, you know, I guess it's good if you're really, really
01:59:09.320
Cause you essentially don't have to do a thing.
01:59:13.640
But if your entire system is based around that, of course you're going to defend it.
01:59:18.420
That is scary for a society moving forward because if you fall in line with that, you
01:59:23.840
You can be told to do anything, give up anything.
01:59:27.940
How do you, how do you push back when you've been believing experts every, every step of
01:59:33.760
It's important, but like, you can't just disassociate yourself from your own life.
01:59:38.460
All right, back in just a minute, uh, give you a quick challenge here.
01:59:42.280
It's going to take a little bit of your time, not much, but a little in the end, it's probably
01:59:46.100
going to save you a ton of money and even better.
01:59:49.120
It means supporting a company that believes in the same values you do.
01:59:52.440
I want you to do your own homework, which is not a boogeyman.
02:00:00.300
See if you like it because Patriot mobile has a mission statement.
02:00:03.080
It is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to
02:00:12.160
I mean, think of how much we complain about companies all the time.
02:00:16.400
And you know, Disney is doing that really important stuff to, to complain about.
02:00:20.120
But when you find a company that actually has a mission statement like that, it's one
02:00:27.860
If they were just, you know, had a great mission statement, it wouldn't be reason to support
02:00:34.600
Get the same nationwide service while supporting a company that actually loves America.
02:00:39.540
They have affordable plans for your budget, excellent coverage, and a top-notch U.S.-based

02:01:15.000
You know, as we're finishing up this hour and we've been talking about how the media
02:01:35.500
There's another great example of Joy Reid on MSNBC.
02:01:39.880
I'm going to hit it on Studos America tonight, though, because it's important.
02:01:43.600
It's important to see the drift because you're always going to have somebody who's crazy.
02:01:48.200
The question is how much authority and credibility are they given by society?
02:01:52.100
There's always been crazy people and there always will be crazy people.
02:01:56.580
And how do we deal with the media that has gone awry?
02:01:58.500
There's an interesting story from the FBI Twitter account.
02:02:02.880
They've tweeted a website explaining how they're combating organized retail theft.
02:02:07.040
Now, we've been talking about this as a massive problem for a long time.
02:02:14.060
And, you know, these downtowns are completely cleaned out of businesses now.
02:02:18.180
People are shutting down vital businesses for local residents.
02:02:21.880
You know, Walgreens and CVS just shutting down all over the place.
02:02:24.860
Have you seen the, like, they come in in these, like, crazed waves?
02:02:28.920
I mean, my wife was in a makeup store locally here in Texas.
02:02:31.780
And these three women came in with giant plastic garbage bags and filled garbage bags with makeup.
02:02:49.280
And this is, of course, sending a clear message of incentive to people who want to do this.
02:02:55.000
Well, the FBI wants to make sure that you know they're on the case here.
02:02:57.620
And they've tweeted an image explaining how they're detailing how they're going to fight the retail theft program here.
02:03:07.660
And apparently they think Paris Hilton is the one doing it.
02:03:11.600
Because the picture is, like, two hot mid-20-year-old white women who are dressed in, like, multi-thousand-dollar outfits.
02:03:20.860
I don't think those are, that's not the typical profile, I'm sure, you know, women who look like that.
02:03:32.800
Now, I'm warning you, whoever's in this stock photo, make sure you close your blinds tonight because Jason is on the case.
02:03:41.460
But, I mean, it's just, like, can we at least be, you know, I don't know, realistic and address the real issues here?
