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,
00:02:49.840 Oh, what are you talking about?
00:02:51.480 There's no problem with crime because of illegal immigration.
00:02:54.700 Yes, there is.
00:02:55.880 Daniel Horowitz is going to be joining us.
00:02:57.500 He's been compiling the stats.
00:02:59.900 It is a real problem, and everyone knows it except the media.
00:03:05.980 But they continue to lie to you.
00:03:07.680 We'll start there in 60 seconds.
00:03:09.900 Stand by.
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.
00:03:27.700 She loves her food with Rough Greens.
00:03:30.020 Her coat is shinier now.
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.
00:03:39.820 They are so loyal and so great.
00:03:41.300 Lisa, thanks for writing in.
00:03:44.000 Your dog is experiencing the same thing that my dog, Uno, experienced years ago
00:03:50.080 when we started feeding him Rough Greens.
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.
00:04:00.340 It's quite amazing.
00:04:01.720 Uno would never eat before this.
00:04:03.720 But then you'll also see a change in their attention.
00:04:06.120 You'll see a change in their activity level.
00:04:10.400 It's almost like Uno was a puppy again.
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.
00:04:26.740 Rough Greens, R-U-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck.
00:04:30.120 Rough Greens.com slash Beck.
00:04:32.500 Or call 833-GLEN-33.
00:04:34.260 That's 833-GLEN-33.
00:04:40.180 Well, let's say hello to our executive, Mr. Stu Bergeer.
00:04:43.220 Hello, Stu.
00:04:43.980 Glenn, how are you?
00:04:45.680 Well, I'm good.
00:04:47.420 It is cold.
00:04:48.000 It was, what, 90 yesterday in Dallas?
00:04:51.860 Yeah, 92 I think it got up to.
00:04:53.680 Mm-hmm.
00:04:55.160 Love it.
00:04:55.540 First of all, global warming.
00:04:57.500 Mm-hmm.
00:04:57.940 I'm telling you, global warming.
00:04:59.040 Bring it on.
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
00:05:38.780 a cowboy hat on and has gone full Don Imus.
00:05:42.540 Like it is, this is how it starts.
00:05:44.980 I assume you're going to start a charity up there for sick kids or something.
00:05:48.800 Sorry, a charity.
00:05:49.540 We've got some sick kids here.
00:05:50.940 We're just milking these kids for all they're worth.
00:05:54.140 And, uh, all right.
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,
00:06:10.500 her death late Monday afternoon.
00:06:13.320 They, they spoke about it.
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
00:06:24.900 and Hope Riley.
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.
00:06:31.780 I love this.
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.
00:06:39.940 I mean, we can't comment at this point.
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?
00:06:53.300 That guy's a big fat liar.
00:06:54.860 And he said, he's spying on America with Russia.
00:06:58.400 Shouldn't we discuss that?
00:06:59.960 No, we've got that.
00:07:01.080 You don't need to go to the justice department.
00:07:02.720 We got that one handled.
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.
00:07:19.460 She was a university student in Georgia.
00:07:21.840 She's jogging in the morning and she's brutally killed.
00:07:27.580 Um, and what a surprise.
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
00:08:22.420 and released him into the United States.
00:08:25.000 So he had been stopped, but then.
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.
00:08:49.600 They didn't do anything, uh, up in New York.
00:08:53.500 They just, they just let him go.
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.
00:09:13.140 Um, and let me just say, that's not true.
00:09:16.600 It's not true.
00:09:17.740 Well, it's not entirely true.
00:09:19.860 It is the administration's, uh, new regulations and guidelines that are letting all of these
00:09:29.100 people in.
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.
00:09:46.800 Good.
00:09:48.860 So we got that going for us.
00:09:50.280 That's what's causing crime.
00:09:52.580 We're not enforcing our laws at the border.
00:09:55.780 And then we're not enforcing our laws in our cities.
00:10:00.120 Our government isn't enforcing the law.
00:10:02.520 Our DAs aren't enforcing the law.
00:10:04.840 And that's why you have criminals going crazy because they know, I don't, I'm not going to
00:10:11.480 be charged with it.
00:10:12.280 I'm going to be to let go.
00:10:13.500 It's not a problem.
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
00:10:27.480 and everybody went crazy.
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.
00:10:48.560 I don't know.
00:10:50.380 Um, that seems pretty serious.
00:10:53.240 So they, uh, are not letting him go this time.
00:10:59.880 The reason why they let him go last time in New York city is because New York city is a
00:11:07.260 sanctuary city.
00:11:09.080 Hmm.
00:11:09.680 By the way, his brother also charged on Friday, uh, for possessing a fraudulent green card being
00:11:18.060 held in state custody.
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
00:11:32.260 without a license.
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
00:11:46.120 having to do with showing up for court.
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
00:12:04.580 wall, please.
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.
00:12:21.340 Okay.
00:12:22.020 Well, how do people feel about that?
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
00:13:07.920 securing the border experts say.
00:13:09.700 And sometimes those efforts turn deadly.
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.
00:13:34.520 And they were wet when they got out.
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
00:13:49.120 for his vision.
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
00:14:02.800 lived in this country for more than a decade.
00:14:05.120 Now, wait a minute.
00:14:05.760 Hold on just a second.
00:14:07.320 Why is it that we're going after the ones who have lived here for a decade?
00:14:11.700 10.5 million.
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
00:14:31.560 lived here for more than a decade.
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.
00:14:43.020 Americans can expect, this is Donald Trump.
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.
00:15:05.580 That's a spokesperson from him yesterday.
00:15:08.080 Undocumented illegal immigrants should not get comfortable because very soon they'll be
00:15:12.300 going home.
00:15:12.960 Now, that's what the Trump people said yesterday.
00:15:18.460 The post is saying that's horrible.
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
00:15:34.780 will go down.
00:15:36.600 Why?
00:15:37.280 Because what the president says matters.
00:15:43.920 When Joe Biden said, no, I'm not encouraging people.
00:15:47.520 I'm not at all.
00:15:48.200 Yes, he was.
00:15:49.660 Is Donald Trump discouraging people?
00:15:52.540 Yes, he is.
00:15:53.940 Is that a good thing?
00:15:55.500 Yes, it is.
00:15:56.500 But when describing the operation on what Trump's plan is built, says the Washington Post, experts
00:16:03.720 commonly land on the same word.
00:16:06.620 What's that word, Stu?
00:16:07.860 What do you think it is?
00:16:08.720 What do you think it is?
00:16:09.660 Experts.
00:16:10.220 All the experts are saying the same word.
00:16:13.540 Hmm.
00:16:13.980 Gosh, there's so many that pop to mind, but I don't know what it is.
00:16:19.160 Inhumane.
00:16:19.900 Inhumane.
00:16:20.380 It's inhumane.
00:16:21.040 Oh, gosh.
00:16:21.620 It's inhumane.
00:16:22.920 Yeah, just inhumane.
00:16:24.320 I'm wondering if they're talking to any experts that agree with, you know, border policies
00:16:30.820 that secure the border.
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.
00:16:50.020 It's not just mass deportation.
00:16:52.640 It's mass racial banishment.
00:16:56.360 No, no.
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.
00:17:06.620 You're coming in from Sweden, I want you out.
00:17:10.720 England, I want you out.
00:17:12.500 If you're coming from Iran, I really want you out.
00:17:15.620 You're coming from hostile countries.
00:17:19.160 Bye-bye.
00:17:21.440 If you're coming here just because you're a family trying to better themselves, go through
00:17:27.780 the front door.
00:17:28.720 And you know what?
00:17:29.240 Bring your family instead of just sending your 20-year-old son.
00:17:33.640 I just think, you know.
00:17:35.280 We got enough of angry 20-year-olds on our own.
00:17:39.420 We don't need any more.
00:17:40.840 If you'd like one, if you'd like to take an angry teenager, I will gladly invite you to
00:17:47.740 house one of my children.
00:17:50.060 You can house them.
00:17:51.320 See what happens with that one.
00:17:52.620 If that's what you're really looking for, I can help you in that department.
00:17:57.220 All right.
00:17:57.420 More in just a second.
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.
00:18:08.960 I really like them.
00:18:10.120 I like what they do.
00:18:11.060 I like what they stand for.
00:18:12.620 And it is two people of faith, different faiths, coming together and working together.
00:18:18.540 So we know what happened on October 7th.
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.
00:18:56.920 I'm going to get into this.
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.
00:19:42.540 Would you go to supportifcj.org?
00:19:45.400 I want you to do your own homework.

00:20:05.480 Station ID.
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.
00:20:35.460 It kicked into overdrive yesterday.
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.
00:20:56.900 Words matter.
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.
00:21:20.140 It means it has to be done.
00:21:22.420 Now, that's the old-timey thing.
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,
00:21:41.780 the government shall erect a border fence.
00:21:44.520 And I remember arguing with the guy who was the sponsor of the bill.
00:21:48.720 I said, that's not going to do anything.
00:21:49.940 He said, no, no, no.
00:21:51.360 That's legally binding.
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,
00:22:06.240 you better wake up.
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.
00:22:21.660 There is something going on.
00:22:23.680 If you can call Russ a Christian nationalist,
00:22:26.500 you can probably call the Heritage Foundation a Christian nationalist foundation.
00:22:32.540 Why not start adding more to the blacklist?
00:22:37.240 Why is this being done?
00:22:40.200 What does Christian nationalism actually mean?
00:22:44.540 Why you cannot dismiss it?
00:22:47.180 And most importantly, why it's being done.
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,
00:22:58.140 complete in-depth coverage.
00:22:59.960 Wednesday night special, Blaze TV.
00:23:02.020 Join us at blazetv.com.
00:23:05.500 Use the promo code Glenn and save.
00:23:09.480 Glenn, I'm back.
00:23:12.740 All right.
00:23:13.480 I want to talk to you about pre-born, Stu.
00:23:15.740 You got to tell me to shut up.
00:23:17.280 I mean, the audience does it all the time.
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
00:23:30.640 because I think their plan is right.
00:23:34.680 Everybody always says, oh, you just, you want to stop abortions,
00:23:37.780 but you don't care about the babies.
00:23:39.120 Yes, we do.
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
00:23:51.220 so people can adopt babies.
00:23:53.580 But the other side, they say you don't care about the babies
00:23:58.040 and you also don't really care about the moms.
00:24:01.100 Well, yes, we do.
00:24:02.460 We care about both.
00:24:03.840 And that's what pre-born does.
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.
00:24:22.780 Hit pound 250 and contribute now.
00:24:25.100 Pound 250, say the keyword baby, or preborn.com slash beck.
00:24:29.320 Do it now.
00:24:30.080 Sponsored by Preborn.
00:24:31.560 So the media now is doing their best to say that crime is not a problem
00:24:51.880 because of illegal immigration.
00:24:54.320 We know that that's not true.
00:24:56.180 That doesn't mean that everybody who comes across illegally is a lawbreaker
00:25:00.060 other than coming here illegally.
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
00:25:13.460 just because of this one murder.
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.
00:25:24.460 Well, you know what?
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.
00:25:32.060 To talk about it is Daniel Horowitz.
00:25:34.500 He did a podcast yesterday on this.
00:25:38.060 He's compiling the stats of crime from illegal aliens.
00:25:43.940 Daniel, what did you find?
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.
00:26:07.400 And why not?
00:26:08.440 You can't blame him.
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
00:26:26.480 since Biden took office.
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
00:26:52.980 within 24 hours in New York City.
00:26:54.860 We find it in Chicago.
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.
00:27:07.140 Uh, you know, in the next number of years,
00:27:08.800 if we don't get rid of them very soon.
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
00:27:15.880 and quantitative, uh, problem here.
00:27:18.160 And it is significant.
00:27:19.980 Um, obviously the, the quantitative problem is,
00:27:22.880 has been well-documented.
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.
00:27:30.780 We hear about drug dealers.
00:27:32.860 What is the biggest issue that border agents are facing?
00:27:36.000 Sure.
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
00:27:45.380 that we've never seen before.
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
00:28:02.440 because that's what a lot of them do.
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
00:28:10.040 to send his prison gangs up here.
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.
00:28:25.700 Uh, Chicago arrested just a handful, you know,
00:28:28.940 five, 10 Venezuelan nationals in, uh, 2022.
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,
00:29:26.360 and usually about, uh, 80,000 or so DUIs.
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
00:30:29.240 you think what is that problem is.
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
00:36:02.880 U.S. citizens. They're not the problem here.
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 And that's why you should discover premium American-made spirits from Coppercraft Distillery.
00:40:02.120 I was looking through their website and there's so many things on here I got to try.

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
00:43:14.080 show. The Glenn Beck program.
00:43:17.560 It's a new day.
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?
00:49:53.020 Maybe they're desirous of World War III?
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?
00:51:21.540 Nothing.
00:51:22.300 Not true.
00:51:23.140 Right.
00:51:23.400 That's not true.
00:51:23.920 We don't do that.
00:51:25.060 OK, what if it came out in Pravda and it quoted the head of the operation in Russia?
00:51:35.900 And it said, absolutely.
00:51:38.080 We have been targeting their critical infrastructure for years now.
00:51:42.420 We have them on the ropes.
00:51:44.040 And you know who told us all of this?
00:51:46.280 Canada.
00:51:47.180 Canada has been working with us to make sure the Niagara Falls power plant is the first of all.
00:51:55.020 What would we do?
00:51:59.900 We are headed for World War Three.
00:52:02.400 Let me give you a couple of stories that show that this is wanted by too many people.
00:52:08.360 This is from the Financial Times this weekend.
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.
00:52:35.740 But he has achieved the exact opposite.
00:52:38.980 Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before.
00:52:45.320 Huh.
00:52:46.860 He said NATO is helping Kiev to make its forces more and more interoperable.
00:52:53.640 Ukraine will join NATO.
00:52:55.520 No, it is not a question of if, but of when, he insisted.
00:52:59.580 Okay, so let me see.
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.
00:53:12.400 Yes, we're going to do that.
00:53:14.280 We're going to do that now.
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.
00:53:23.960 Okay, great.
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?
00:53:50.720 Mr. Orban came out, Victor Orban of Hungary.
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,
00:54:13.840 that's yesterday,
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.
00:54:25.820 Really?
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.
00:54:49.040 Okay.
00:54:50.320 So that's, um, that's good.
00:54:53.560 That's good.
00:54:55.080 Why are we headed toward war?
00:55:01.520 Why?
00:55:03.200 By the way, Sweden, or Hungary did approve that in Sweden,
00:55:07.420 that vote you mentioned, 188 to 6.
00:55:13.600 Yeah, I believe Hungary was the one saying,
00:55:16.500 let's not piss off the bear.
00:55:19.420 Why would we be talking about expanding NATO?
00:55:23.340 I believe I've heard Orban say those very things.
00:55:28.240 Why would we do that?
00:55:31.180 Four jets?
00:55:33.260 Really?
00:55:34.040 That's all it took was four jets?
00:55:35.680 I don't think so.
00:55:38.080 I don't think so.
00:55:40.180 There is a game being played here that, uh, I really don't like.
00:55:45.240 And our country is becoming a little crazy.
00:55:50.640 Let me give you this story.
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,
00:56:16.660 screamed,
00:56:17.340 Free Palestine!
00:56:18.760 As flames engulfed his body after he doused himself with a flammable liquid
00:56:25.380 and then lit himself on fire.
00:56:28.280 He later died from injuries.
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
00:56:40.360 and calling Israel colonizers.
00:56:43.960 Now, that sounds like a far-left radical, doesn't it?
00:56:48.860 Oh, I forgot.
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.
00:57:01.240 Now, here's why this is so bad.
00:57:03.340 Let me, let me take you first
00:57:07.240 to what Cornel West tweeted.
00:57:13.180 Let us never forget the extraordinary courage
00:57:17.700 and commitment of brother Aaron Bushnell,
00:57:22.160 who died for truth and justice.
00:57:25.080 I pray for his precious loved ones.
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.
00:57:42.300 This truly is a mile marker.
00:57:46.080 This makes Aaron into some kind of suicide bomber
00:57:49.540 when, you know, they'll be rewarded in heaven.
00:57:53.060 We are not a culture that rewards suicide or suicide, uh, um, acts, suicidal acts,
00:58:02.980 especially for politics.
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,
00:58:17.520 we're confusing suicide with martyrdom.
00:58:22.420 Those who kill themselves for ideology should not be praised.
00:58:27.920 But that's exactly what Hamas said.
00:58:30.540 That's exactly what Cornel West said.
00:58:33.600 Praising ideology over human life.
00:58:36.900 That's not a Rubicon we care to cross.
00:58:39.300 But we're crossing it right now.
00:58:43.560 More in just a second.
00:58:44.900 Stand by.
00:58:47.600 First, I want to tell you about relief factor.
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.
00:58:55.880 I used relief factor.
00:58:57.020 I've been in pain for 40 years, but today I'm pain free.
00:59:00.000 I tell all of my friends about it.
00:59:01.860 Relief factor is great.
00:59:03.300 I just wanted to say, thank you.
00:59:05.020 William, thank you.
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.
00:59:27.780 70% of them go on to order it again and again.
00:59:30.720 See how relief factor can help you with their three week quick start.
00:59:34.420 It's 1995, three week quick start.
00:59:38.640 Try it.
00:59:39.700 So give it a try today.
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.
00:59:49.800 It's relieffactor.com.
00:59:51.740 10 seconds, station ID.
00:59:52.800 10 seconds, station ID.
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.
01:00:16.080 And he was a U.S. Air Forceman.
01:00:21.160 What was the first thing that went through your minds, Stu?
01:00:25.300 First thing.
01:00:27.140 He's insane.
01:00:29.140 Yep.
01:00:29.780 That was the first thing that went through my mind.
01:00:31.680 What insanity.
01:00:33.440 What insanity.
01:00:34.860 It's not going to change anything.
01:00:37.200 And you have to be insane to light yourself on fire.
01:00:41.080 Okay.
01:00:41.280 What was the second thing that came to mind?
01:00:43.660 The Arab Spring.
01:00:46.900 Really?
01:00:47.400 The Arab Spring.
01:00:48.300 Yeah.
01:00:48.780 The guy who was in the cart.
01:00:50.320 Yeah.
01:00:50.700 He set himself on fire.
01:00:51.920 And how this setting yourself on fire has some history to start movements and revolutions.
01:00:59.920 And revolutions, yes.
01:01:02.400 So a history to start revolutions.
01:01:05.340 And are those revolutions from the right or those revolutions from the left?
01:01:10.520 Typically 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?
01:01:31.260 They praised him.
01:01:33.060 They praised him.
01:01:34.320 So now let's see.
01:01:37.220 Seems like we have, if we have a box of things to do, just a whole checklist.
01:01:43.860 Seems like we've checked off the Arab Spring.
01:01:47.240 Okay.
01:01:48.060 We are now praising this.
01:01:51.480 Think of MAID up in Canada.
01:01:55.040 MAID is medical assistance in dying.
01:01:58.640 This is ideology prized over life.
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.
01:02:28.600 We know this is not working.
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.
01:02:54.160 We are becoming a culture of death.
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.
01:03:13.080 Ideology over life.
01:03:16.200 Suicide is not heroic.
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.
01:03:33.080 They praise the suicide bombers.
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.
01:04:01.180 I just, I, last thing to say on this.
01:04:06.220 Deuteronomy.
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.
01:04:50.480 I want to talk to you about Jace Medical.
01:04:56.160 Drug shortages hit a new record high last year.

01:05:05.880 That's including something as basic and life-saving as amoxicillin.
01:05:10.640 Medication shortages are going to happen.
01:05:14.560 You can't introduce 10 million people into your country and give them access to the health care system.

01:05:28.860 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.

01:06:21.340 You'll have to excuse me as my voice.
01:06:27.520 I have the worst vocal cords in the world.
01:06:29.840 They're very sensitive.
01:06:32.960 So as I lose my voice again, please put up with it for as long as you can.
01:06:37.900 I appreciate it.
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.
01:06:48.120 Yeah.
01:06:49.600 Sounds.
01:06:50.600 Oh, yeah.
01:06:51.340 Ding dong.
01:06:52.740 Pizza delivery.
01:06:54.280 That's right.
01:06:55.720 Oh, yeah.
01:06:56.800 Hi.
01:06:57.520 I'm from the Georgia District Attorney's Office.
01:07:01.220 To see me.
01:07:02.420 Want to leave my phone at your house for a while.
01:07:06.320 Anyway, okay.
01:07:07.140 So Jason is here to talk a little bit about what's happening with this, this march to war.
01:07:15.960 Does this bother you, Jason?
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.
01:07:40.300 Can you?
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.
01:08:07.360 It's not a question of if, you know, but when.
01:08:10.140 Excuse me?
01:08:10.980 It's crazy.
01:08:11.820 You just right there to everyone.
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.
01:08:22.700 Well, OK, so maybe you were right.
01:08:24.540 You just justified it to him and to all the people that support Putin.
01:08:29.020 You said, yeah, OK, he was right.
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.
01:08:45.840 I'm sorry.
01:08:46.940 People of Ukraine shouted out and said, oh, dear God, no, that will guarantee our loss.
01:08:51.620 Don't send French.
01:08:53.560 I you look at that and then you look.
01:08:57.760 Well, that's a good.
01:08:58.840 Took you.
01:09:00.120 But that's a good point.
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.
01:09:12.040 It was it was it was a blood clot.
01:09:13.480 That one I can't understand.
01:09:15.200 Why?
01:09:15.740 Why?
01:09:16.100 How does that help?
01:09:17.280 This is this.
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.
01:09:45.920 Look, this is just the way it is.
01:09:48.020 This is war.
01:09:49.840 We're not calling it World War Three at the moment.
01:09:52.140 But the battle lines have been drawn.
01:09:54.680 We don't need propaganda at this point.
01:09:57.060 I mean, this is just happening.
01:09:58.880 This is the new reality that we face right now.
01:10:01.480 We are at war with Russia.
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.
01:10:08.640 Live with it.
01:10:09.480 There is no defunding this at this point.
01:10:11.580 This is the reality.
01:10:13.140 So deal with it.
01:10:14.800 Imagine that is a frightening future to contemplate how this plays out.
01:10:19.500 If that is just the new normal now.
01:10:21.140 Where does it stop?
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.
01:10:49.100 Is is that too infantile of a of reasoning?
01:10:53.120 No, I don't think so.
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.
01:11:16.820 But I think that's close.
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.
01:11:22.860 But he basically said, it's great.
01:11:24.980 You know, the Soviet Union fell.
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.
01:11:56.160 You continue to expand eastward.
01:11:57.980 You do this, you do that.
01:11:59.100 We did all of those things.
01:12:00.600 We are still doing all of those things.
01:12:02.780 And we promised not to do many of them, right?
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.
01:12:13.420 But, like, there is a connection, right?
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.
01:12:29.440 You know, it's so ridiculous to me.
01:12:30.560 You have to justify what you just said with I'm not condoning.
01:12:34.080 Because that is obvious.
01:12:35.220 It is obvious you're not.
01:12:36.220 But to say that a few months ago was like, oh, my gosh, Stu loves Putin.
01:12:40.840 He wants to move to Russia.
01:12:42.980 Acknowledging that other nations have, you know, interests.
01:12:46.700 Interests, right.
01:12:46.900 And you should not cross these lines because that's against their interests.
01:12:50.140 That's a common thing.
01:12:51.260 That's diplomacy.
01:12:52.780 But there's also a promise that we made.
01:12:55.520 We took the nuclear missiles.
01:12:57.780 We got rid of them in Ukraine.
01:13:00.200 Yeah.
01:13:00.360 And we did that because Ukraine said we are on the border with these crazy people.
01:13:06.540 We need our protection.
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.
01:13:17.600 So you're caught between these two things.
01:13:20.960 If you want to be people of honor, I think we should be people of honor.
01:13:25.980 But that includes common sense.
01:13:29.780 You know, we shouldn't have been fooling around with NATO in the first place with Ukraine.
01:13:35.380 That's what caused this.
01:13:36.580 I believe that.
01:13:38.240 Yeah.
01:13:39.140 And we're still fooling around.
01:13:41.820 I mean, it goes beyond 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.
01:13:58.220 Hungary finally said, okay, fine.
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.
01:14:23.380 They've just thrown that out.
01:14:25.180 Like, they don't care at this point.
01:14:26.960 There is now, like, there are enemies.
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.
01:14:40.920 They're moving forward with that.
01:14:42.780 They, you know, are not even making the attempt to look like we're going to scale back, de-escalate.
01:14:50.380 Not even making the attempt.
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?
01:15:01.780 I don't see it.
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.
01:15:42.080 He says it's close, but we're not done yet.
01:15:45.480 Which one is true?
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.
01:16:07.680 No one sees that.
01:16:08.280 All right, so let me take you one last place that I love your thoughts on.
01:16:14.520 We have this guy who is insane.
01:16:19.600 He is with the Air Force.
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.
01:16:45.480 I pray for his precious loved ones.
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.
01:17:09.960 How did this guy go undetected?
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.
01:17:28.860 It's not on, I mean, it is ideological.
01:17:33.580 That is, I mean, where have you seen ideology being, you know, pushed into militaries?
01:17:40.160 You see it in crazy regimes, usually.
01:17:43.820 You see it in dictatorships.
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.
01:17:54.800 They are being used as an ideological tool.
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.
01:18:03.480 Always.
01:18:04.480 And using people as tools, no issue whatsoever with that.
01:18:08.860 None.
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.
01:18:19.700 Oh, absolutely.
01:18:20.100 You just don't.
01:18:21.120 Yeah.
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.
01:18:46.820 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?
01:18:57.660 What do you even say?
01:18:58.700 You know, it's going straight to Lloyd Austin's office.
01:19:00.820 What's he going to say?
01:19:02.740 He's the one that stood your military down.
01:19:04.440 I'm not saying anything.
01:19:05.300 Jason, as always, you didn't improve my mood much, but I appreciate sharing all of the information.
01:19:14.620 Thank you.
01:19:15.420 It's going to be interesting to see how all this works out.
01:19:17.600 Why don't you, Stu?
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.
01:19:52.600 I think the Marines started using it first.
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.

01:20:39.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:56.620 Welcome to the program.
01:20:58.660 This is Imus of the Morning.
01:21:01.180 Twelve minutes after the hour, Doris Kearns Goodwin is going to be coming up.
01:21:05.620 Just a little bit.
01:21:06.400 Glenn is dying, apparently.
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.
01:21:24.560 And he's, he, I guess we'll be back tomorrow.
01:21:28.260 He's been struggling with us for a few days now.
01:21:31.940 He's been hooked up to tubes.
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.
01:21:42.420 But he hopefully will be back tomorrow.
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.
01:21:57.120 We'd get bored of all the 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.
01:22:07.600 And you might say, well, I don't care.
01:22:09.140 I wanted him to win.
01:22:09.940 Or I'm very angry.
01:22:10.980 I wanted him to lose.
01:22:11.700 Whatever you think there.
01:22:12.960 The drama's all gone.
01:22:14.240 He sucked it all out.
01:22:15.740 And it's just, it's not even interesting anymore to talk about.
01:22:18.640 The Michigan situation is going on.
01:22:20.480 And it's a very bizarre situation.
01:22:22.520 And that Michigan's changed its laws.
01:22:26.560 And the Republicans have their own rules.
01:22:29.860 And because of this conflict, you now have two separate batches of delegates going out.
01:22:35.880 Some of which matter for today.
01:22:37.700 Some of which will come through a convention.
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.
01:23:14.700 At this point, she's come this far.
01:23:16.900 Why not stick in for another week?
01:23:18.340 I think there's 20 different states over the next week or so that will give you delegates.
01:23:23.500 And she can at least try.
01:23:25.660 But really, the drama's gone.
01:23:27.340 It's basically as up in the air as the Biden re-election is up in the air.
01:23:31.700 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:34.100 We've got no room to compromise.
01:23:54.900 We're going to stay together.
01:23:58.900 And if we're going to survive.
01:24:04.260 Stay up straight.
01:24:07.560 And hold the line.
01:24:11.760 It's a new day.
01:24:14.120 Time to rise.
01:24:15.700 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:24:29.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
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,
01:24:43.340 whether it goes to porn in kids' schools,
01:24:49.620 whether it goes to whether we should have more children.
01:24:52.600 Do we really need 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.
01:25:06.000 That just happens sometimes.
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.
01:25:17.240 We believe in the Constitution.
01:25:18.820 Even the amendments that don't seem like they're in favor anymore.
01:25:23.900 With the country.
01:25:25.180 But protecting yourself is important.
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.
01:25:42.020 These things are so cool.
01:25:43.360 Government agencies and police departments all over the country rely on Berna every day
01:25:47.120 as their go-to less lethal option.
01:25:49.520 It works for them.
01:25:50.240 It will work for you, too.
01:25:51.280 So, these things look like, you know, your normal firearm.
01:25:55.260 However, they're different.
01:25:56.140 And they fire these non-lethal rounds.
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
01:26:16.300 to use a gun.
01:26:18.420 Berna is perfect for them.
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
01:26:40.820 fading away slowly as the show went on.
01:26:43.140 Hopefully, he'll be okay tomorrow.
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.
01:27:10.700 This is never a good idea.
01:27:12.200 People need to learn that lighting yourself on fire is just a terrible way of going about
01:27:15.860 whatever your problem is.
01:27:17.720 But he said this.
01:27:19.500 Let us never forget the extraordinary courage and commitment of brother Aaron Bushnell, who
01:27:25.880 died for truth and justice, exclamation point.
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
01:27:43.760 in real time, exclamation point.
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.
01:27:53.880 Cornel West is nuts.
01:27:54.860 He's been nuts for a long time, by the way.
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
01:28:11.140 of doing something like this.
01:28:12.300 Now, I will say he was committed to the bit.
01:28:13.980 There's no doubt about it.
01:28:15.000 If you're lighting yourself on fire, you're committed.
01:28:16.580 I'll give you that.
01:28:18.080 But this is not something to praise.
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
01:28:41.460 us to do a bunch of crazy things.
01:28:43.200 And that's not a that's not a good foundation for a society.
01:28:46.420 No, not if you want it to continue.
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
01:28:58.440 the world.
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
01:29:07.560 about this?
01:29:08.100 I don't think so.
01:29:08.760 If anything, you've seen a appreciation.
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.
01:29:25.760 It's just amazing.
01:29:26.760 You were talking about the media before.
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
01:29:52.940 in Israel.
01:29:53.680 I remember that.
01:29:54.160 Remember that?
01:29:54.460 And it's kind of funny.
01:29:56.700 We were not on media row.
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
01:30:05.060 these other BBC, all these major players.
01:30:07.580 And then it was us, you know, from the blaze trying to get included.
01:30:11.240 Right.
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.
01:30:29.440 So she marches right over to media row.
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.
01:30:37.940 He's pissed.
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.
01:30:51.340 And so we like walk over.
01:30:52.780 This is the one place in the world where this tactic works, by the way.
01:30:55.720 Nowhere else.
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.
01:31:06.560 Right.
01:31:06.700 So anyway, so we walk in.
01:31:08.820 He puts us right in front of media row.
01:31:11.480 So we're right in front of them.
01:31:13.080 Oh, they must have loved this.
01:31:13.920 And he's oh, yeah.
01:31:14.480 What is going on here?
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.
01:31:28.280 He was like, finally.
01:31:29.540 Yeah.
01:31:29.800 And then he just proceeds to go on and talks about all these grenades that are lobbed over
01:31:33.640 a surprise attack at that point.
01:31:35.520 All these things that happen.
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.
01:31:44.160 They just talk about the response.
01:31:46.760 And then they weave it into the whatever narrative that they want to do probably was given to
01:31:50.720 them by Colonel West and other similar people.
01:31:52.940 Yeah.
01:31:53.180 But just amazing.
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.
01:32:01.700 Yeah.
01:32:01.980 I don't know exactly when it happened.
01:32:03.720 I mean, it seems like there was definitely a tipping point in 2015, 2016 when Donald Trump's
01:32:10.220 running for president.
01:32:11.320 Right.
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
01:32:30.080 doing some sort of normal journalism.
01:32:32.880 Right.
01:32:33.300 This idea, like the Hillary Clinton emails is a great example of this.
01:32:36.280 Like they did cover that a little bit.
01:32:38.460 As a conservative, I wasn't happy with the way they covered it.
01:32:41.900 Right.
01:32:42.000 Like I wasn't like, oh, wow, they're doing a great job unearthing all of this stuff on Hillary
01:32:46.020 Clinton.
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
01:32:55.180 on.
01:32:55.960 Here's why you shouldn't care about it.
01:32:57.920 That was the way they covered that.
01:32:59.400 That is not how they covered the Hunter Biden laptop story.
01:33:03.140 Yeah.
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.
01:33:14.420 Yeah.
01:33:14.560 You don't even know.
01:33:15.340 We're not even going to tell you about it.
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
01:33:31.580 do this.
01:33:32.320 Yeah.
01:33:32.500 I don't know if they actually believe that.
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.
01:33:41.580 But I am concerning.
01:33:43.260 And I think that the it's funny because the Cornell Wests of the world have always been
01:33:47.780 around, right?
01:33:48.840 They have been around for a very long time.
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.
01:34:24.680 And that is not where we used to be.
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.
01:34:36.700 That's not where we are anymore.
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.
01:34:50.720 Remember that?
01:34:50.960 This democracy dies in darkness, right?
01:34:52.400 That was it.
01:34:53.020 That was it.
01:34:53.540 They're like, oh, now there's a conservative in here and Obama's out.
01:34:56.060 We're rededicating.
01:34:57.100 Okay, now you're gonna be critical.
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,
01:35:06.980 you know, politics.
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
01:35:21.600 at that.
01:35:22.120 No, it's funny because there were so many of these guys and names in that Obama era and
01:35:27.440 listening to Glenn covered all of them.
01:35:29.600 And like, I've done my best to forget about them.
01:35:32.720 But like, you're right.
01:35:34.020 All these efforts existed.
01:35:35.140 We got to go back and look.
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.
01:36:18.620 Arrogant.
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.
01:36:27.820 They were too young.
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.
01:36:35.440 And they would say it.
01:36:36.520 And then, and they were fine with it.
01:36:37.860 And then told that to the media.
01:36:39.080 So it was printed.
01:36:40.420 I mean, that's just amazing to me.
01:36:42.480 They did not care.
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.
01:36:51.800 Whoever the expert was at the time.
01:36:53.600 Just listen to them.
01:36:56.240 Trust us.
01:36:57.240 That's the truth.
01:36:58.240 And you go ahead and print that.
01:36:59.760 I'm glad you brought that up.
01:37:01.400 Because that was exactly what was on display with Taylor Lorenz the other day.
01:37:04.680 We should get into this in a second.
01:37:05.960 Let's take a quick break for American financing.
01:37:08.460 Let me ask you something.
01:37:09.520 How worried are you about your upcoming credit card bills?
01:37:12.960 Has it got you up at night?
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.
01:37:20.620 Interest rates have fallen.
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.
01:37:27.880 I mean, look, that's not bad.
01:37:29.340 It's come down a little bit.
01:37:30.840 All it takes is a 10-minute call to 800-906-2440.
01:37:35.680 They never charge any upfront or hidden fees.

01:38:36.100 There's so much.
01:38:38.220 By the way, it's Stu in for Glenn.
01:38:39.940 Jason Buttrell joins me as well.
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.
01:38:51.120 Is she at the Washington Post now?
01:38:52.440 I think.
01:38:52.800 I can't remember.
01:38:53.840 She's been to several different places.
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.
01:39:37.140 And on the other side is Taylor Lorenz.
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.
01:40:04.840 Listen.
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?
01:40:13.260 I guess sex pictures in school, I don't know.
01:40:15.840 I don't know.
01:40:16.280 Because, you know who I would defer to on that?
01:40:18.560 Just because neither of us are sex educators?
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.
01:40:29.540 You're a full-time sex educator.
01:40:31.040 You've really studied this.
01:40:32.360 What are the appropriate boundaries?
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.
01:40:38.800 And I guess I'm wondering why you think...
01:40:40.140 So, I have seen sex educators say that they want these books in schools.
01:40:46.020 So, then you're okay with it?
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.
01:40:56.560 I don't want to be a sex educator.
01:40:58.160 I just don't want to give kids porn in school.
01:40:59.600 That is an all-time classic.
01:41:05.040 What's fascinating about this, I mean, there's a hundred things that are fascinating about this.
01:41:08.340 Yeah.
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.
01:41:13.680 No, you know what?
01:41:14.320 Some sex educators do think this stuff should be in school.
01:41:16.800 So, are you okay with it?
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.
01:41:40.260 Why would you need to talk to them?
01:41:42.180 You have no questions for them.
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.
01:41:53.680 You have just given up.
01:41:55.500 What is the purpose of you?
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?
01:42:05.820 This is why no one trusts the media.
01:42:08.160 Like, anyone could be a journalist in this day and age.
01:42:11.000 Yeah.
01:42:11.280 She doesn't need to think for herself.
01:42:13.680 None of them need to think for themselves.
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.
01:42:21.060 This is so basic.
01:42:22.540 By the way, that looked like an SNL skit.
01:42:24.320 It did not look like a real.
01:42:25.160 It really did.
01:42:25.440 Now, you're right.
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.
01:42:35.660 They don't even say that.
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.
01:42:53.000 There's never been a case documented of it.
01:42:55.680 So this is not even 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.
01:43:13.380 She's outdoors.
01:43:14.600 Her back is to a road four feet away.
01:43:18.840 A car passes by.
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.
01:43:44.500 Is she really scared of COVID-19?
01:43:46.440 Or is it just the flag?
01:43:48.000 Yeah.
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.
01:43:58.520 All of them had masks on.
01:44:00.200 I'm like, are they real?
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.
01:44:08.120 Surely.
01:44:08.740 It's just that flag.
01:44:09.840 When did flags become so lame?
01:44:12.120 Right.
01:44:12.300 When there's something cooler?
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?
01:44:22.640 Come on.
01:44:23.300 Right.
01:44:23.520 You'd think so.
01:44:24.580 Yeah.
01:44:24.980 Even the Guy Fawkes mask was cooler than this.
01:44:27.420 Right.
01:44:27.880 Just put that back on.
01:44:28.840 Yeah.
01:44:29.260 That's very true.
01:44:30.140 I will say like, that is what it becomes.
01:44:33.320 It becomes almost like a gang tattoo.
01:44:35.600 Right.
01:44:36.120 Like you're just like, I'm, it's okay.
01:44:38.160 I'm a good person.
01:44:39.180 Everybody.
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
01:44:50.720 they tell you.
01:44:51.420 There's no experts telling you to wear the N95 mask outside.
01:44:54.920 Neck tattoos.
01:44:55.940 That's our flag.
01:44:57.240 Neck tattoos.
01:44:57.740 Yeah.
01:44:57.900 Like parts of the constitution, our neck.
01:45:00.040 There you go.
01:45:00.400 Yeah.
01:45:00.640 That would look tough.
01:45:01.280 There you go.
01:45:01.760 That's much more badass than a mask.
01:45:05.860 Stand up.
01:45:07.880 Glenn Beck.

01:45:20.820 in different ways.
01:45:22.020 And honestly, he's still president, unfortunately, at least for the moment.

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
01:47:07.620 particular conflict.
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.
01:47:33.820 Jason Buttrell joins me.
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.
01:47:41.120 Also has a documentary coming up.
01:47:42.380 When does this thing come out?
01:47:43.200 Do we know?
01:47:43.840 I think it's the end of this month.
01:47:44.960 Okay.
01:47:45.200 All right, wait, it is the end of the month.
01:47:46.940 It's still a couple, two, three weeks out, something like that, but it's soon.
01:47:50.220 Okay, pretty 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.
01:48:14.480 No.
01:48:15.200 Went to a few of their rallies, but we also went down to Eagle Pass and checked out Shelby
01:48:20.060 Park and the whole standoff between.
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
01:48:35.100 shock you.
01:48:36.000 And I was not expecting to get that, but we found that information out in kind of a funny
01:48:40.120 way.
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.
01:48:48.240 It's going to be a few of these every year.
01:48:50.600 Big documentary projects that are independent investigations that you're not going to see
01:48:54.660 anywhere else.
01:48:55.900 They're part of your Blaze TV subscription.
01:48:57.540 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.
01:48:58.980 And the code is Glenn.
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
01:49:10.340 Lorenz covered the same story?
01:49:11.820 Would you guys have the same viewpoint on this?
01:49:14.240 How similar are you to Taylor?
01:49:15.940 I mean, to answer that question, I would have to consult an expert, you know, because I'm
01:49:19.560 just not sure if I'm qualified, you know?
01:49:21.520 Okay, I understand.
01:49:22.320 I understand.
01:49:23.040 Along those lines.
01:49:24.080 This is from this clip of Taylor Lorenz and Libs of TikTok hanging out at a lunch and having
01:49:30.680 a little bit of an interview.
01:49:31.540 This is all filmed.
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
01:49:44.280 media right now.
01:49:45.280 Here's a clip.
01:49:46.360 But there is a context that it would be okay to give kids pictures like that of gay sex,
01:49:52.400 anal sex in elementary school?
01:49:54.540 I guess sex pictures in school.
01:49:56.000 I don't know.
01:49:56.640 I don't know.
01:49:57.060 Because you know who I would defer to on that?
01:49:58.640 Car zooming back.
01:49:59.360 Just because neither of us are sex educators.
01:50:01.900 I would defer that question to a qualified professional, a sex educator, and say, hey, you're
01:50:07.060 an expert.
01:50:07.720 You've treated tons, you know, you've educated tons of people.
01:50:10.340 You're a full-time sex educator.
01:50:11.840 You've really studied this.
01:50:13.180 What are the appropriate boundaries?
01:50:14.120 I don't think that myself as a journalist or a media personality, I don't think I'm the
01:50:18.340 right one to make that decision.
01:50:19.600 And I guess I'm wondering why you think...
01:50:20.940 So I have seen sex educators say that they want these books in schools.
01:50:26.800 So then you're okay with it?
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
01:50:36.760 in that.
01:50:37.360 I don't want to be a sex educator.
01:50:38.960 I just don't want to give kids porn in school.
01:50:40.420 Now, this is a fantastic interaction.
01:50:44.440 And it just shows where we are.
01:50:47.500 As I mentioned previously, Taylor Lorenz has basically, like, signed off her responsibility
01:50:55.780 for her life.
01:50:57.220 Yeah.
01:50:57.480 Right?
01:50:57.820 Like, she has taken...
01:50:59.920 Like, she's transferred ownership.
01:51:01.920 She's...
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.
01:51:09.960 And she's basically signed...
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
01:51:22.220 to see porn in the classroom.
01:51:24.420 She so can't bring herself to say that that's a bad idea.
01:51:28.600 She has to assign it to experts.
01:51:30.220 And look, experts, a lot of experts do say it's okay.
01:51:34.660 Does that make it okay for you?
01:51:36.740 Now, who is the biggest expert about your child?
01:51:41.260 Right?
01:51:41.740 It's you.
01:51:43.240 You're the parent.
01:51:45.020 It is literally your God-given and foundational objective in life to make the right decisions
01:51:52.680 for your child.
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
01:52:05.940 ourselves.
01:52:06.640 They give us input in those decisions.
01:52:09.260 They don't make those decisions for us.
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...
01:52:20.320 What's the point of you being you?
01:52:21.620 What's the point of you being a human being?
01:52:23.500 Why aren'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
01:52:43.300 decision like showing porn to kids at school?
01:52:47.940 And this is the media in a nutshell.
01:52:50.300 There's no thought to it.
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.
01:53:01.500 Again, this should set off alarm bells.
01:53:03.640 If we can't show it on national television to adults, why would it be appropriate for
01:53:10.020 children?
01:53:10.720 But I'll let that to the side for a second.
01:53:13.360 In this interaction, they show...
01:53:15.860 They talk about these books.
01:53:17.640 And of course, Taylor Lorenz says that this stuff isn't even happening.
01:53:20.740 You don't know what you're talking about.
01:53:22.060 She takes the pictures out.
01:53:23.100 She shows her the pictures of these books.
01:53:24.700 And Taylor Lorenz has a pretty honest reaction to it.
01:53:28.300 She is as shocked as most people would be.
01:53:32.560 Oh my God.
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
01:54:01.980 this issue often.
01:54:03.300 I wish I had seen it zero times.
01:54:06.260 I don't want to see it.
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.
01:54:18.400 People are posting about it all the time.
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.
01:55:15.460 Oh, I mean, take it beyond journalism.
01:55:19.000 I mean, this is an entire generation of people that have grown up and they've been taught in
01:55:24.040 universities, this is the way it is.
01:55:26.780 The universities no longer teach them how to think.
01:55:29.300 They teach them what to think.
01:55:31.120 And that's this entire generation, which I kind of think we should take advantage of
01:55:35.360 being from Gen Xers.
01:55:36.600 I would love to draw up a bunch of contracts where they basically sign over everything to
01:55:41.240 me because they're not going to read it.
01:55:42.700 They're not going to do their own homework on it.
01:55:44.240 They're just going to sign it.
01:55:45.060 Yeah, we just have to bring an expert along saying, this expert says you should sign it.
01:55:47.620 Yeah, he's the expert.
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
01:55:58.760 an education expert.
01:56:00.260 I'm like, that's your big thing?
01:56:02.300 Right.
01:56:03.040 She's not trying to be an education expert.
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
01:56:14.260 can you be convinced of?
01:56:15.260 Right.
01:56:15.740 And this, I hate to say it, has led to every genocidal tragedy in our world's history.
01:56:22.640 Yeah.
01:56:22.800 It's always a bunch of experts saying that that group of people is inferior.
01:56:29.020 It's always that.
01:56:30.540 There are always intellectual elites at the top of the chain that say, those people are
01:56:35.800 bad.
01:56:36.220 It's okay to kill them.
01:56:38.040 Yeah.
01:56:38.260 And like, it is obviously what she's doing here is not equivalent to that, but the mindset
01:56:44.260 is similar.
01:56:45.540 When you sign away your personal agency and act as if you cannot determine what is right
01:56:52.680 and what is wrong.
01:56:53.620 Yeah.
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.
01:57:02.420 They can do it.
01:57:03.240 And they've decided that, look, black people shouldn't be able to have the same water fountains.
01:57:08.620 I guess that's what we should go with.
01:57:10.260 Well, that's not an okay thing.
01:57:11.900 That's not an okay way.
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
01:57:18.580 just taking orders.
01:57:19.840 That's not how that works.
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
01:57:39.600 to get you out of making the decision.
01:57:41.740 And that's convenient.
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.
01:57:55.240 Yeah.
01:57:55.680 You don't own your life if you think like her.
01:57:58.240 And you can see, this is why she's constantly a victim of everything, right?
01:58:03.600 Like that's Taylor Lorenz in a nutshell.
01:58:05.400 She's a victim of the internet.
01:58:07.320 She can't just sign off of it.
01:58:09.260 No, no.
01:58:10.140 Just like everybody else.
01:58:11.280 She can't do that.
01:58:12.580 She's a victim of every bad comment.
01:58:14.400 She's crying all the time.
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.
01:58:23.880 Yeah.
01:58:24.160 Who say they're experts.
01:58:26.000 You remember that there was a push from the media.
01:58:28.580 It was a few years ago.
01:58:29.500 It might've been under Trump.
01:58:30.200 I can't remember.
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.
01:58:39.300 You remember that?
01:58:39.820 They were writing about it.
01:58:40.700 They were talking about it on cable news.
01:58:41.940 Like, well, you know, do your own homework.
01:58:44.040 It's actually like, shut up.
01:58:45.120 Yeah.
01:58:45.200 That was very, yeah.
01:58:45.940 It was very central to an attack on Glenn.
01:58:48.080 I mean, cause Glenn would say that all the time as a way of saying like, hey, like, don't
01:58:51.280 just believe me.
01:58:51.820 You shouldn't.
01:58:52.220 You should go and look this stuff up and understand it for yourself.
01:58:55.160 It should be something that is praised.
01:58:57.140 Right.
01:58:57.500 Frankly.
01:58:58.180 And you're right.
01:58:58.940 It was, became a boogeyman for a while.
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
01:59:09.000 lazy.
01:59:09.320 Cause you essentially don't have to do a thing.
01:59:11.280 Just be like, what do I say?
01:59:12.660 What do I do?
01:59:13.640 But if your entire system is based around that, of course you're going to defend it.
01:59:17.080 Yeah.
01:59:17.400 But I mean, you're exactly right.
01:59:18.420 That is scary for a society moving forward because if you fall in line with that, you
01:59:23.020 can be told anything.
01:59:23.840 You can be told to do anything, give up anything.
01:59:27.100 And what do you do?
01:59:27.940 How do you, how do you push back when you've been believing experts every, every step of
01:59:31.580 the way?
01:59:31.940 And again, I don't mean to vilify expertise.
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.
01:59:56.280 It's a good thing.
01:59:57.720 Consider making the switch to Patriot mobile.
01:59:59.820 Check them out.
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
02:00:08.700 glorify God always.
02:00:10.640 That's the kind of business I can get behind.
02:00:12.160 I mean, think of how much we complain about companies all the time.
02:00:14.920 Oh gosh, Bud Light is doing this.
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
02:00:23.300 you want to support.
02:00:24.120 Now, of course, that's not the whole picture.
02:00:26.380 Look, it's, I I'll be honest with you.
02:00:27.860 If they were just, you know, had a great mission statement, it wouldn't be reason to support
02:00:31.880 them.
02:00:32.060 You'd also need to get great service.
02:00:33.360 And they do that as well.
02:00:34.600 Get the same nationwide service while supporting a company that actually loves America.
02:00:38.100 How do you miss out on that?

02:01:06.980 888-727-BECK.
02:01:11.280 This is the Glenn Beck program.
02:01:15.000 You know, as we're finishing up this hour and we've been talking about how the media
02:01:31.700 is basically all turning into Cornel West.
02:01:33.980 Taylor Lorenz is a great example.
02:01:35.500 There's another great example of Joy Reid on MSNBC.
02:01:38.800 We don't have time to get to it today.
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.
02:01:55.260 How do we deal with that?
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.
02:02:09.780 It's destroying our cities.
02:02:11.240 I mean, it's destroying them.
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?
02:02:28.200 Yeah.
02:02:28.680 Yeah.
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.
02:02:40.200 My daughter was there in the store with her.
02:02:42.200 Filled it up and just walked right out.
02:02:44.480 And no one did anything.
02:02:45.920 Here?
02:02:46.560 In Texas.
02:02:47.580 Wow.
02:02:48.040 No one did anything.
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.
02:03:28.120 I'd be on the case, too.
02:03:29.320 I'm going to go look for them as well.
02:03:30.780 Jason is on the case.
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.
02:03:39.820 I'm coming.
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?
02:03:47.700 The Glenn Beck Program.
