00:02:04.280 Oh, I'm telling you.

00:02:05.960 We should vote for Joe Biden

00:02:10.520 and our democracy is in sync.

00:02:13.780 We can round people up.

00:02:18.060 All the crazy mood swings

00:02:20.260 of our president.

00:03:19.280 Oh, man.

00:03:22.240 Is Stu not here yet?

00:03:23.820 Is Stu not here?

00:03:25.420 Oh, I miss Stu.

00:03:27.360 Hi, Stu.

00:03:28.580 Hey, Glenn.

00:03:28.920 How's it going?

00:03:30.180 Really bad, okay?

00:03:31.960 Wow.

00:03:32.200 But at the same time,

00:03:33.660 pretty good.

00:03:34.580 The mood swings

00:03:35.600 of President Biden

00:03:37.160 are terrifying.

00:03:40.020 People say,

00:03:41.060 you know,

00:03:41.760 Donald Trump,

00:03:42.800 I mean,

00:03:43.600 he could get out of control

00:03:44.740 and go for vengeance.

00:03:46.380 What the hell do you think

00:03:48.000 is happening right now

00:03:49.660 with Joe Biden?

00:03:51.200 Did you see the speech

00:03:52.580 he gave

00:03:53.100 on January 6th?

00:03:54.140 As much of it

00:03:54.680 as I could take.

00:03:55.700 And I did realize

00:03:56.580 watching it

00:03:57.200 that the real tragedy

00:03:58.620 of January 6th

00:03:59.500 for the Democrats

00:04:00.060 is that in an election year

00:04:01.860 it fell on a Saturday

00:04:02.860 so that no one

00:04:04.280 was paying attention

00:04:05.020 because this was their whole

00:04:06.000 idea.

00:04:07.080 Their whole campaign

00:04:07.640 was to talk about

00:04:08.880 January 6th constantly

00:04:10.060 and that everyone

00:04:10.760 missed the big speech

00:04:11.880 this weekend

00:04:12.380 because no one did.

00:04:13.040 Yeah, I know.

00:04:13.580 I know.

00:04:14.040 I know.

00:04:14.520 Well,

00:04:15.180 I mean,

00:04:16.040 there was at least

00:04:17.060 one person

00:04:17.780 that I've never heard of

00:04:18.880 on MSNBC

00:04:19.900 that was sobbing.

00:04:22.120 He really had a hard time

00:04:23.460 getting it together.

00:04:24.300 Hey, Sarah,

00:04:25.360 do you have like,

00:04:26.300 I don't know,

00:04:26.700 the Glenn theme

00:04:27.360 or something,

00:04:27.940 you know,

00:04:28.160 something that's

00:04:28.840 very, very stirring

00:04:29.940 that you could play

00:04:31.360 the MSNBC clip

00:04:32.940 where the anchor

00:04:34.680 is talking to

00:04:35.760 a Capitol Police officer

00:04:37.100 and powerful.

00:04:38.600 It's very powerful.

00:04:40.540 Go ahead.

00:04:41.460 Is Michael Fannone

00:04:42.460 not that theme.

00:04:45.340 You know,

00:04:45.840 Glenn's theme

00:04:46.420 that America,

00:04:49.120 the beautiful

00:04:49.480 kind of thing.

00:04:50.360 Oh,

00:04:50.880 yeah.

00:04:51.760 Oh,

00:04:51.920 yeah.

00:04:52.100 OK,

00:04:53.580 there we go.

00:04:54.180 Mail and

00:04:54.520 former D.C.

00:04:56.060 Metropolitan Police

00:04:56.860 officer,

00:04:57.900 courage for America

00:04:58.680 council member

00:04:59.500 and author of

00:05:00.780 Hold the Line,

00:05:02.000 the insurrection

00:05:02.640 and one cop's

00:05:03.900 battle for America's

00:05:05.460 soul.

00:05:06.420 Officer Fannone,

00:05:07.420 I'm going to try

00:05:07.880 to get through this.

00:05:09.860 Oh, no.

00:05:11.280 Thank you

00:05:12.020 for what you did

00:05:13.880 three years ago today.

00:05:16.160 Look at the cop

00:05:17.320 who's looking at this guy.

00:05:18.540 He's like,

00:05:18.940 what the hell

00:05:19.840 is happening?

00:05:21.100 What?

00:05:21.300 I'm not here.

00:05:22.700 I'm invisible.

00:05:23.260 I'm invisible.

00:05:23.840 I'm invisible.

00:05:25.720 OK,

00:05:26.320 well,

00:05:26.620 it was a very

00:05:27.420 scary,

00:05:28.240 scary time

00:05:29.060 on January 6th

00:05:30.380 for,

00:05:31.220 well,

00:05:31.460 especially Ashley 0.95

00:05:32.320 Bablett,

00:05:32.760 but let's not

00:05:33.360 talk about that.

00:05:34.660 Very,

00:05:35.240 very scary thing.

00:05:36.060 And here's

00:05:36.380 what the president

00:05:36.900 said in his speech.

00:05:42.060 Today,

00:05:42.860 we gather

00:05:43.280 a new year.

00:05:44.220 There we go.

00:05:45.020 Some 246 years

00:05:46.740 later,

00:05:48.040 just one day

00:05:49.040 before January 6th.

00:05:51.760 A day forever

00:05:52.560 shared in our memory

00:05:53.480 because it was

00:05:54.400 on that day

00:05:55.200 that we nearly

00:05:56.540 lost America.

00:05:58.260 Lost it all.

00:06:00.320 Today,

00:06:00.860 we're here

00:06:01.320 to answer

00:06:01.720 the most important

00:06:02.500 of questions.

00:06:03.860 Is democracy

00:06:04.980 still America's

00:06:06.200 sacred cause?

00:06:08.140 no,

00:06:11.000 the republic

00:06:11.500 is,

00:06:12.080 the republic

00:06:12.520 is,

00:06:13.020 but I mean,

00:06:13.720 it's cute

00:06:14.060 with that

00:06:14.360 democracy thing, 0.99

00:06:15.260 seeing that

00:06:15.560 you're president

00:06:16.020 of the United

00:06:16.420 States.

00:06:17.980 And then he

00:06:18.800 goes on to

00:06:19.380 celebrate

00:06:20.060 sending January

00:06:21.400 Sixers to

00:06:22.000 prison.

00:06:22.400 Go ahead.

00:06:23.160 Since that

00:06:23.800 day,

00:06:24.160 more than

00:06:24.540 1,200

00:06:25.680 people

00:06:26.320 have been

00:06:27.400 charged

00:06:27.800 for the

00:06:28.140 assault

00:06:28.400 on the

00:06:28.660 Capitol.

00:06:29.080 Nearly

00:06:29.220 900 of

00:06:30.240 them.

00:06:31.080 Stop,

00:06:31.880 stop,

00:06:31.980 stop,

00:06:32.160 hold on,

00:06:32.700 hold on,

00:06:33.000 just a second.

00:06:34.020 1,200

00:06:34.920 people have

00:06:35.760 been

00:06:36.240 convicted

00:06:37.940 of

00:06:38.320 assaulting

00:06:39.080 the

00:06:39.280 Capitol.

00:06:40.900 No,

00:06:41.700 actually,

00:06:42.220 it was

00:06:42.400 trespassing.

00:06:43.540 It was

00:06:43.800 trespassing.

00:06:44.960 So let's

00:06:45.780 just keep

00:06:46.300 that in

00:06:46.620 mind.

00:06:47.160 What they

00:06:47.500 were actually

00:06:48.020 charged

00:06:48.580 with was

00:06:50.000 trespassing.

00:06:52.280 Now let's

00:06:53.080 go to the

00:06:53.620 second half

00:06:54.400 of that.

00:06:56.320 Collectively

00:06:56.840 to date,

00:06:58.580 they have

00:06:58.880 been sentenced

00:06:59.440 to more

00:06:59.740 than 840

00:07:00.980 years in

00:07:01.540 prison.

00:07:02.020 Yay.

00:07:03.040 Yeah,

00:07:03.480 that sounds

00:07:04.140 like a

00:07:04.420 democracy.

00:07:04.860 Yeah,

00:07:06.260 yeah,

00:07:07.400 more prison

00:07:08.620 time,

00:07:09.300 more prison

00:07:09.860 time.

00:07:11.380 Instead of

00:07:11.820 calling them

00:07:12.300 criminals, 0.62

00:07:13.880 he's called

00:07:14.340 these

00:07:14.560 insurrectionists

00:07:16.460 patriots.

00:07:17.700 Okay,

00:07:17.940 stop,

00:07:18.520 stop.

00:07:19.400 No,

00:07:20.160 in no

00:07:21.480 court documents,

00:07:22.580 in no

00:07:23.020 court case,

00:07:23.720 are they

00:07:24.280 being convicted

00:07:25.220 or tried

00:07:25.900 for

00:07:26.940 insurrection.

00:07:29.020 None of

00:07:29.720 them,

00:07:30.480 none of

00:07:31.180 them have

00:07:31.560 been charged

00:07:32.180 and convicted

00:07:32.840 of

00:07:33.380 insurrection.

00:07:34.860 So where

00:07:35.620 are we

00:07:35.840 getting all

00:07:36.280 this

00:07:36.480 insurrection

00:07:36.960 stuff?

00:07:38.160 Where is

00:07:38.600 that happening?

00:07:39.600 If that's

00:07:40.260 what they

00:07:40.580 did,

00:07:41.720 then fine,

00:07:42.480 charge them

00:07:43.140 with that.

00:07:43.580 And I

00:07:43.820 think you

00:07:44.160 could make

00:07:44.620 a case

00:07:45.320 for a few

00:07:46.240 of the

00:07:46.460 people that

00:07:46.900 I saw,

00:07:47.720 you can

00:07:47.960 make that

00:07:48.340 case,

00:07:48.680 but for

00:07:49.440 the vast

00:07:49.840 majority

00:07:50.240 of it,

00:07:50.820 you know,

00:07:51.120 parading

00:07:51.780 shouldn't get

00:07:53.260 you a couple

00:07:53.840 of years

00:07:54.320 in prison.

00:07:56.220 Trespassing

00:07:56.620 shouldn't,

00:07:57.420 and then you

00:07:58.360 have the

00:07:58.940 attorney general

00:07:59.600 going out

00:08:00.180 or the

00:08:00.620 U.S.

00:08:01.120 attorney who's

00:08:01.920 in charge

00:08:02.240 of this

00:08:02.500 case,

00:08:02.760 going out

00:08:03.120 and basically

00:08:03.860 saying we're

00:08:05.400 going to

00:08:05.620 charge the

00:08:06.140 people who

00:08:06.640 were even

00:08:07.100 outside of

00:08:08.400 the Capitol.

00:08:09.320 Cut 10.

00:08:12.000 An important

00:08:12.860 note when it

00:08:13.640 comes to our

00:08:14.120 prosecutions about

00:08:15.020 those who

00:08:15.440 remained outside

00:08:16.300 the building.

00:08:17.740 We have used

00:08:18.660 our prosecutorial

00:08:19.380 discretion to

00:08:20.160 primarily focus

00:08:21.820 on those who

00:08:22.300 entered the

00:08:22.680 building or

00:08:24.400 those who

00:08:24.780 engaged in

00:08:25.400 violent or

00:08:26.000 corrupt conduct

00:08:26.740 on Capitol

00:08:27.320 grounds.

00:08:27.820 But if a

00:08:29.680 person normally

00:08:30.400 entered the

00:08:31.160 restricted area

00:08:31.860 without authorization,

00:08:33.780 they had already

00:08:34.720 committed a

00:08:35.440 federal crime.

00:08:37.100 Make no

00:08:37.760 mistake,

00:08:38.660 thousands of

00:08:39.260 people occupied

00:08:40.000 an area that

00:08:41.060 they were not

00:08:41.520 authorized to be

00:08:42.260 present in in

00:08:43.120 the first place.

00:08:43.900 Okay, so that

00:08:44.740 is the fence

00:08:46.720 that is outside

00:08:48.960 of the Capitol

00:08:49.740 that was taken

00:08:50.720 down by somebody

00:08:51.740 who was clearly

00:08:52.580 an operative of

00:08:53.700 something.

00:08:54.780 So when you

00:08:55.360 went past that

00:08:56.300 fence, which was

00:08:57.280 now laying in

00:08:58.260 the dirt and

00:08:59.320 you couldn't

00:08:59.920 see and it

00:09:01.300 seemed like it

00:09:02.040 was okay to

00:09:02.760 go by, you

00:09:04.720 were committing

00:09:05.320 trespassing.

00:09:07.120 You were outside,

00:09:08.420 you weren't doing

00:09:08.960 anything, but you

00:09:09.580 were standing

00:09:10.160 there.

00:09:10.980 You're now, and

00:09:11.620 so they're going

00:09:12.020 to go after,

00:09:12.600 they're actually

00:09:13.720 going after more

00:09:15.120 people as the

00:09:17.040 polling on this

00:09:19.140 gets worse and

00:09:20.580 worse and worse

00:09:21.740 and as the

00:09:23.260 evidence gets

00:09:24.520 worse and worse

00:09:25.280 and worse for

00:09:26.340 the prosecution.

00:09:29.220 When you start

00:09:30.020 to see the

00:09:30.540 tapes, I don't

00:09:31.020 know, did you

00:09:31.420 see what

00:09:31.860 Laura Logan

00:09:32.640 did on her

00:09:35.200 show?

00:09:35.600 Did you see

00:09:36.000 this?

00:09:36.760 Really, really

00:09:37.960 credible work

00:09:39.440 from Laura

00:09:39.940 Logan on this.

00:09:41.620 You see it,

00:09:42.320 Pat or Stu?

00:09:43.020 I did not see

00:09:43.740 anything from

00:09:44.200 Laura Logan,

00:09:44.660 no.

00:09:44.940 Oh my gosh.

00:09:47.680 Laura is

00:09:48.580 talking to this,

00:09:49.740 she just released

00:09:50.560 it, I think,

00:09:51.340 on Saturday.

00:09:51.940 she's talking

00:09:53.360 to this woman

00:09:53.880 I've never

00:09:54.680 heard of, and

00:09:56.280 she was beaten

00:09:58.240 and clubbed,

00:10:00.020 billy clubbed,

00:10:00.960 by three cops,

00:10:03.080 police officers,

00:10:05.220 from the

00:10:06.220 Capitol Police

00:10:07.060 in a hallway

00:10:08.820 of the Capitol,

00:10:10.360 and she's not

00:10:11.000 doing anything.

00:10:11.620 She's trapped

00:10:12.640 in the crowd,

00:10:13.480 and these three

00:10:15.160 police officers

00:10:16.040 target her

00:10:17.220 and beat her 0.90

00:10:18.900 in the head. 0.53

00:10:19.880 One of the

00:10:21.180 police officers

00:10:21.880 takes a

00:10:22.900 closed fist

00:10:24.300 and hits her

00:10:25.460 repeatedly five

00:10:26.820 times in the

00:10:27.940 head.

00:10:28.360 Then she's

00:10:29.200 thrown head

00:10:30.360 first into

00:10:31.560 a stone wall.

00:10:33.120 She doesn't

00:10:33.700 even remember

00:10:34.460 any of this

00:10:35.420 because the

00:10:36.080 beating was so

00:10:36.720 bad.

00:10:37.120 Then they start

00:10:37.920 beating her 0.99

00:10:38.500 with billy

00:10:39.040 clubs and

00:10:39.700 stabbing her

00:10:40.860 with billy

00:10:41.560 clubs.

00:10:42.380 She's not

00:10:43.160 doing anything.

00:10:45.180 It's a

00:10:46.200 horror show,

00:10:47.560 an absolute

00:10:48.080 horror show.

00:10:49.880 The whole

00:10:52.420 thing is

00:10:52.780 misleading,

00:10:53.620 too,

00:10:53.820 which is

00:10:54.100 amazing.

00:10:54.640 The two

00:10:55.160 things they

00:10:55.500 wanted to

00:10:55.800 get done

00:10:56.260 after the

00:10:56.980 January 6th

00:10:57.640 situation was

00:10:58.340 one,

00:10:58.900 call it

00:10:59.260 January 6th,

00:11:00.220 so there'd

00:11:00.560 be this

00:11:00.920 anniversary

00:11:01.460 every year.

00:11:02.280 They could

00:11:02.480 come out

00:11:02.940 and have

00:11:03.640 these speeches

00:11:04.300 and have

00:11:05.380 a September

00:11:06.200 11th annual

00:11:07.360 event where

00:11:08.480 they could

00:11:08.700 talk about

00:11:09.120 the horrible

00:11:09.560 tragedy that

00:11:10.280 went on.

00:11:11.180 Secondarily,

00:11:11.900 they wanted

00:11:12.220 to use the

00:11:12.620 word insurrection.

00:11:13.420 We talked

00:11:13.700 about this

00:11:14.000 at the very

00:11:14.640 beginning.

00:11:15.240 They used

00:11:15.500 that word

00:11:15.900 immediately

00:11:16.920 knowing that

00:11:18.820 they would

00:11:19.300 later on

00:11:20.000 use it

00:11:20.520 to take

00:11:20.880 Donald Trump

00:11:21.500 off of the

00:11:22.340 ballot and

00:11:23.300 try to make

00:11:23.860 him...

00:11:24.780 So very

00:11:25.880 well planned

00:11:26.920 and pushed.

00:11:28.880 It's like

00:11:30.000 when people

00:11:31.240 during COVID

00:11:31.940 immediately,

00:11:32.960 all of them

00:11:33.680 together,

00:11:34.200 started saying,

00:11:35.020 you know,

00:11:35.260 it's like we

00:11:35.740 need a great

00:11:36.220 reset.

00:11:38.560 Wait,

00:11:38.800 where did that

00:11:39.380 come from?

00:11:39.920 All of a sudden,

00:11:40.780 everyone's calling

00:11:41.760 for a great

00:11:42.520 reset and the

00:11:43.540 new normal?

00:11:45.240 That's weird.

00:11:46.160 Where did

00:11:46.800 that come

00:11:47.200 from?

00:11:47.680 Same thing

00:11:48.340 happened with

00:11:48.920 insurrection.

00:11:49.720 And that

00:11:50.240 insurrection

00:11:50.960 word is

00:11:52.040 crucial to

00:11:53.380 the Constitution.

00:11:54.720 Crucial.

00:11:55.500 That's why

00:11:56.060 they're taking

00:11:56.420 them off

00:11:56.700 these ballots

00:11:57.120 in these

00:11:57.380 states.

00:11:58.280 And Glenn,

00:11:58.540 you mentioned

00:11:58.840 like,

00:11:59.040 what does he

00:11:59.340 say,

00:11:59.660 you know,

00:11:59.960 1,200

00:12:00.240 people have

00:12:01.080 been,

00:12:01.340 you know,

00:12:01.780 been charged

00:12:03.160 and arrested

00:12:03.760 because of

00:12:05.320 insurrection

00:12:06.120 and all this.

00:12:06.780 And it's like,

00:12:07.220 the actual

00:12:07.960 stats are

00:12:08.600 comical,

00:12:09.120 even when it

00:12:09.880 comes to

00:12:10.260 this.

00:12:10.800 They're having

00:12:11.180 1,240 people

00:12:12.360 arrested.

00:12:13.640 Now,

00:12:13.960 there's 350

00:12:14.560 cases are still

00:12:15.720 pending.

00:12:16.160 So we don't

00:12:17.020 know how those

00:12:17.640 are going to

00:12:17.920 turn out.

00:12:19.360 Four years

00:12:19.980 into it.

00:12:20.660 Yeah.

00:12:21.040 They've,

00:12:21.340 they've convicted

00:12:22.440 Glenn,

00:12:23.460 170 people

00:12:25.020 of the

00:12:26.320 1,240.

00:12:27.740 Two people

00:12:28.380 have been

00:12:28.820 acquitted

00:12:29.220 and the

00:12:30.280 rest have

00:12:31.380 pleaded

00:12:32.020 guilty.

00:12:33.680 Now,

00:12:34.380 okay,

00:12:34.760 so you have

00:12:35.080 710 people

00:12:36.020 who have

00:12:36.260 pleaded guilty.

00:12:37.700 Among those,

00:12:39.520 only 210

00:12:40.560 have pleaded

00:12:41.480 guilty to

00:12:42.040 felony

00:12:42.480 offenses.

00:12:42.960 So you

00:12:45.000 have people,

00:12:46.580 about 450

00:12:47.660 of them

00:12:48.220 were sentenced

00:12:49.680 to periods

00:12:50.620 of incarceration,

00:12:52.180 ranging from

00:12:52.720 a handful of

00:12:53.500 days to more

00:12:54.040 than 20

00:12:54.480 years.

00:12:55.320 So when you

00:12:55.600 look at it

00:12:56.020 more specifically

00:12:57.240 here, you

00:12:57.760 have, you

00:12:58.920 know, as you

00:12:59.480 pointed out,

00:13:00.100 there are some

00:13:00.760 people in this

00:13:01.880 crowd that were

00:13:03.060 not really just

00:13:04.060 in the crowd,

00:13:04.700 right?

00:13:04.880 They really did

00:13:05.560 have ill intent

00:13:06.600 and there's some

00:13:07.480 evidence that some

00:13:08.160 of them did some

00:13:08.660 really bad things.

00:13:09.880 But generally

00:13:10.400 speaking, a lot

00:13:11.560 of these people

00:13:12.020 are just in

00:13:12.960 the area, maybe

00:13:14.140 broke a rule,

00:13:15.340 broke a law,

00:13:16.140 and maybe deserve

00:13:17.100 a slap on the

00:13:17.800 wrist to some

00:13:18.320 of them.

00:13:18.700 But generally

00:13:19.740 speaking, you're

00:13:20.300 talking about

00:13:20.740 minor offenses

00:13:21.780 that they pleaded

00:13:23.220 guilty to without

00:13:25.040 even a trial and

00:13:26.520 then also went to

00:13:28.100 a place where

00:13:28.540 they're not even

00:13:28.860 going to prison.

00:13:30.560 These are such

00:13:31.100 minor offenses that

00:13:32.060 they might be a

00:13:32.740 fine or probation.

00:13:34.460 Look, that doesn't

00:13:35.460 mean it's nothing.

00:13:36.560 I'm not saying it

00:13:37.340 is.

00:13:37.780 We don't, we're

00:13:38.280 not trying to

00:13:38.880 downplay what

00:13:39.600 happened on the

00:13:40.220 day, but like

00:13:41.380 this idea that

00:13:42.660 there's 1,200

00:13:43.300 people who tried

00:13:44.300 to overturn the

00:13:45.160 government is so

00:13:45.940 completely insane

00:13:47.420 and overblown

00:13:48.480 that you lose

00:13:50.120 all context of

00:13:51.560 what actually

00:13:51.900 happened on

00:13:52.740 January 6th.

00:13:53.560 Correct.

00:13:53.920 And let me just

00:13:54.900 point out that

00:13:56.920 grandma should be 0.95

00:13:58.280 in jail for maybe

00:13:59.180 a couple of

00:13:59.740 years, but Ray

00:14:00.560 Epps, I mean,

00:14:01.660 let's give him a

00:14:02.280 slap on the wrist.

00:14:03.720 Of course not.

00:14:04.260 Did we ever talk

00:14:05.080 about that when

00:14:05.700 he was actually

00:14:07.140 sentenced and

00:14:08.120 got, what was

00:14:08.600 it, six

00:14:08.980 months, three

00:14:10.340 months, something

00:14:11.660 ridiculous.

00:14:13.940 Ray Epps has, they

00:14:15.780 have him on video

00:14:16.560 doing all the

00:14:17.780 things they accuse

00:14:18.780 others of doing

00:14:19.740 and then some.

00:14:22.000 And people were

00:14:22.720 like, well, what,

00:14:23.440 what, what happened

00:14:24.200 there?

00:14:24.560 That's clear what

00:14:25.600 happened there.

00:14:26.580 This is a guy who's

00:14:27.600 got to pay some

00:14:28.740 time.

00:14:29.900 He's got to.

00:14:30.880 They've tried to

00:14:31.800 brush him off, make

00:14:32.900 him disappear, and

00:14:34.520 it wouldn't go

00:14:35.900 away.

00:14:36.300 So we're going

00:14:37.080 to try him and

00:14:38.160 we're going to

00:14:38.440 give him a very

00:14:39.180 gentle slap on

00:14:40.320 the wrist.

00:14:41.120 So you stop

00:14:43.180 that narrative and

00:14:45.060 you protect him

00:14:46.400 from another

00:14:47.220 administration coming

00:14:48.240 in and going, oh,

00:14:49.060 we're still, we're

00:14:50.140 still working on

00:14:50.760 this.

00:14:51.780 Why don't we

00:14:52.460 really look into

00:14:53.240 Mr. Epps and see

00:14:54.260 what happened

00:14:54.720 there?

00:14:55.620 This is a way to

00:14:56.400 get him for double 0.72

00:14:57.400 jeopardy.

00:14:58.880 Can't be tried

00:14:59.720 second time for

00:15:00.560 the, for, for

00:15:01.400 what he did.

00:15:01.960 So you only got

00:15:03.580 six months.

00:15:04.780 This is, it's

00:15:05.760 sick.

00:15:06.180 When we come

00:15:06.800 back, I want to

00:15:07.480 play the audio of,

00:15:09.080 of Joe Biden, where

00:15:11.460 he got very, very

00:15:13.500 angry, very angry.

00:15:17.900 And it's, it's a

00:15:19.640 little terrifying,

00:15:20.640 quite honestly.

00:15:22.020 We'll talk about

00:15:22.900 that in 60 seconds.

00:15:24.420 Stand by.

00:15:25.520 Yeah.

00:15:26.220 But first our

00:15:27.660 sponsor this half

00:15:28.900 hour is car

00:15:29.960 shield.

00:15:30.280 Imagine if one

00:15:31.560 of the first

00:15:31.960 things you did

00:15:32.460 in the new

00:15:32.920 year was to

00:15:33.340 make sure you

00:15:33.760 never have to

00:15:34.420 worry about how

00:16:40.420 So here's the

00:16:49.640 really great part

00:16:50.640 in Joe Biden's

00:16:51.960 speech where he

00:16:52.660 gets, I don't

00:16:53.520 know, some might

00:16:54.800 say that it's a

00:16:55.800 little angry.

00:16:57.220 19.

00:16:58.280 We have to make

00:16:58.960 our choice.

00:17:00.440 I know mine

00:17:01.360 and I believe I

00:17:03.820 know America's.

00:17:05.720 We'll defend the

00:17:06.820 truth, not give

00:17:08.480 in to the big lie.

00:17:09.940 We'll embrace the

00:17:10.880 Constitution and

00:17:11.840 the Declaration,

00:17:12.880 not abandon it.

00:17:14.760 Jeez.

00:17:15.420 We'll honor the

00:17:15.980 sacred cause of

00:17:16.740 democracy, not walk

00:17:17.780 away from it.

00:17:19.640 No, that wasn't

00:17:20.400 the clip.

00:17:21.720 Do we not have

00:17:22.340 the clip where he

00:17:23.000 just looks, I

00:17:24.020 mean, he looks

00:17:24.720 insane.

00:17:26.520 Do you find his,

00:17:28.220 do you find the

00:17:29.700 ups and downs of

00:17:31.140 the emotions when

00:17:31.980 he's speaking to be

00:17:32.960 real?

00:17:34.020 Yes, I do.

00:17:34.640 You do?

00:17:35.020 I do.

00:17:35.320 Okay.

00:17:35.600 I'm not sure, I'm a

00:17:36.680 little torn on it.

00:17:37.540 I feel like at times

00:17:38.520 he's forcing it

00:17:40.260 because he's trying

00:17:41.380 to be some sort

00:17:43.780 of, he's trying to

00:17:45.680 like capture the

00:17:47.220 energy and, I

00:17:51.000 don't know.

00:17:51.680 Maybe.

00:17:52.280 He's trying to

00:17:52.800 like show the

00:17:53.620 emotion of that

00:17:54.240 moment.

00:17:55.360 I find it, the

00:17:56.960 clip I saw this

00:17:58.200 weekend where he

00:17:59.380 was just squinting

00:18:00.780 and angry was

00:18:04.040 terrifying because I

00:18:06.000 felt he, maybe he

00:18:07.440 is just acting, but

00:18:10.020 it was unhinged.

00:18:11.640 absolutely unhinged.

00:18:17.200 And I don't know,

00:18:18.660 that's what happens

00:18:19.360 to people with, you

00:18:20.920 know, senility.

00:18:22.960 They, they have wild

00:18:24.520 mood swings and get

00:18:26.020 very, very angry and

00:18:29.000 didn't like it.

00:18:30.320 Didn't like it.

00:18:31.260 Didn't like it at all.

00:18:32.560 Now, here he is

00:18:33.600 after the speech, he

00:18:34.720 leaves the stage.

00:18:35.700 Cut 20, please.

00:18:36.400 She, Jill comes

00:18:45.660 out and grabs his

00:18:46.760 hand because he's

00:18:48.140 staring like a deer in

00:18:49.340 headlights and she

00:18:50.280 grabs his hand and

00:18:51.560 walks around the

00:18:52.320 corner.

00:18:52.600 She's just escorting

00:18:53.640 about, as soon as

00:18:54.220 they get around the

00:18:54.720 corner, she drops

00:18:55.440 his hand, but he

00:18:57.000 dawdles off like he's

00:18:58.200 a toddler.

00:18:59.200 Is it possible he

00:18:59.940 was just walking

00:19:00.500 away from the

00:19:01.080 Coldplay song?

00:19:01.880 Is that, is that a

00:19:02.400 possibility?

00:19:03.340 No, that's a very

00:19:04.380 good possibility.

00:19:05.260 Yeah, right.

00:19:05.720 Cut 21.

00:19:07.020 Here he is at the

00:19:07.680 helicopter.

00:19:13.580 He's looking at the

00:19:14.380 helicopter.

00:19:15.000 He's looking around

00:19:15.640 like, where, what do

00:19:17.040 I, is, are my toys,

00:19:19.340 where am I, am I

00:19:20.640 gonna, I gotta, is

00:19:23.440 anybody in the

00:19:24.120 helicopter?

00:19:25.080 I don't know.

00:19:25.720 He's walking back

00:19:26.560 now.

00:19:27.680 Hey, do you, do you

00:19:29.080 know where I'm

00:19:29.700 supposed to go?

00:19:31.740 And then he's walking

00:19:34.540 around at the, the

00:19:35.700 officer's like, what?

00:19:37.240 What are you looking

00:19:38.020 for, sir?

00:19:38.700 I, I was wondering

00:19:40.500 if I lost, left my

00:19:41.940 shoe.

00:19:42.260 Did I leave my shoe

00:19:43.220 in the car?

00:19:44.620 I don't know where I,

00:19:46.500 uh, hey, pizza.

00:19:48.120 Pizza.

00:19:48.520 The secret word is

00:19:49.720 pizza.

00:19:51.340 I, I, I, for one,

00:19:52.640 am stunned they

00:19:53.380 didn't tell him that

00:19:54.080 the secretary of

00:19:54.800 defense was in the

00:19:55.460 hospital.

00:19:55.900 I, I was shocked.

00:19:56.900 Oh, no, I mean, yeah.

00:19:59.300 Oh, wow.

00:19:59.940 I'd be shocked if

00:20:00.920 they told him because

00:20:01.800 it would lead me to

00:20:02.620 believe he was

00:20:03.100 actually running the

00:20:04.180 country.

00:20:05.180 You know, the

00:20:05.960 question is, did

00:20:06.860 Barack Obama, did

00:20:07.920 they notify Barack

00:20:08.740 Obama?

00:20:09.220 Right.

00:20:09.740 As long as they

00:20:10.600 were notified Barack

00:20:11.480 Obama, then we're

00:20:12.380 fine.

00:20:13.060 We're fine.

00:20:13.900 You know, it's not

00:20:14.820 out of control.

00:20:15.940 That, that, that

00:20:17.240 Lloyd Austin thing

00:20:18.260 is, again,

00:20:20.100 disturbing.

00:20:21.400 I don't, I, I

00:20:24.000 have never, I've

00:20:25.260 never seen any of

00:20:26.240 this stuff before.

00:20:27.160 I'm trying to

00:20:27.960 impress if you're, if

00:20:29.300 you're a new listener

00:20:30.400 and you're just kind

00:20:31.140 of like, you know,

00:20:31.800 coming in and you're

00:20:32.340 like, well, I don't

00:20:33.000 know, I want to check

00:20:33.620 this out.

00:20:34.120 I mean, maybe

00:20:34.540 something is going

00:20:35.340 on in the, in the

00:20:36.480 country.

00:20:37.300 Uh, and especially if

00:20:38.660 you're, you know, 30,

00:20:39.960 35, none of this is

00:20:42.080 normal.

00:20:42.660 I just want you to

00:20:43.460 know, none of this

00:20:44.680 happened before 2000,

00:20:46.720 okay?

00:20:47.240 Before the year 2000,

00:20:49.220 none of this,

00:20:50.360 was going on.

00:20:51.940 Uh, I mean,

00:20:52.540 corruption was,

00:20:53.460 don't get, corruption

00:20:54.720 was always a big

00:20:55.560 part, but not at

00:20:57.240 this level.

00:20:58.240 And, you know, it

00:21:00.280 never really saw the

00:21:01.320 president kind of

00:21:02.460 dawdle around,

00:21:03.560 dawdle around under,

00:21:04.660 you know, giant

00:21:05.580 blades that are

00:21:07.360 spinning above his

00:21:08.100 head where he's

00:21:08.620 like, you know,

00:21:09.320 maybe I got a

00:21:10.120 cupcake.

00:21:10.580 Did I, did

00:21:11.320 somebody leave a

00:21:12.160 cupcake over there? 0.52

00:21:12.980 Is that my cupcake

00:21:13.660 over there?

00:21:14.880 Oh, well, I wish I

00:21:16.340 was wearing my

00:21:16.940 bathing suit.

00:21:18.740 Uh, I don't know.

00:21:20.360 A little

00:21:21.020 disturbing.

00:21:22.220 Maybe, just a

00:21:23.680 bit.

00:21:25.420 Uh, let's see.

00:21:27.180 Um, uh, we

00:21:30.380 have one minute,

00:21:31.480 enough time just

00:21:32.160 to play this.

00:21:32.940 This is the D.C.

00:21:34.260 mayor, Bowser,

00:21:35.900 explaining why she

00:21:36.640 supports taking

00:21:37.660 Trump off the

00:21:38.300 ballot.

00:21:38.620 Cut seven.

00:21:39.380 Lots of

00:21:39.780 conversation about

00:21:40.320 the 14th

00:21:40.780 amendment nowadays

00:21:41.520 directly connected

00:21:42.520 to the actions of

00:21:43.480 Donald Trump in the

00:21:44.140 lead up to this day

00:21:44.960 three years ago and

00:21:45.780 what he did on that

00:21:46.440 day, January 6th.

00:21:47.760 Do you think he

00:21:48.220 should be barred

00:21:48.860 from any ballots

00:21:50.560 given his actions

00:21:51.640 on January 6th?

00:21:52.680 Well, I support

00:21:53.940 every state taking

00:21:55.780 very aggressive

00:21:56.480 action, um, to,

00:21:57.980 to keep him off the

00:21:58.820 ballot.

00:21:59.340 No way.

00:21:59.680 He is undergoing,

00:22:01.760 uh, you know,

00:22:03.220 court action across

00:22:04.500 America.

00:22:05.400 Uh, and I don't

00:22:06.480 know that we have

00:22:08.100 ever had a

00:22:08.640 situation.

00:22:09.200 Actually, I do

00:22:10.000 know that we've

00:22:10.580 never had a

00:22:11.060 situation where

00:22:12.000 a sitting president

00:22:12.800 could be a

00:22:13.660 convicted felon.

00:22:14.460 Uh, and so the,

00:22:16.480 the uncertainty that

00:22:17.960 people are going to

00:22:18.800 the ballot with is

00:22:19.800 also unprecedented.

00:22:21.160 Uh, is he going to

00:22:22.100 be on the ballot or

00:22:22.880 not?

00:22:23.180 Is he going to be

00:22:23.880 disqualified?

00:22:24.480 Are people going to

00:22:25.640 vote for someone, uh,

00:22:27.080 who's not eligible?

00:22:28.260 And so all of those

00:22:29.420 questions.

00:22:30.060 Stop, stop, stop.

00:22:31.200 Uh, a convicted

00:22:32.240 felon, a convicted 0.76

00:22:34.020 felon for what

00:22:35.480 insurrection?

00:22:36.960 Glenn.

00:22:37.440 Didn't happen.

00:22:38.220 All right.

00:22:40.760 Let me tell you about

00:22:41.280 our sponsor this half

00:22:42.400 hour.

00:22:42.640 Uh, our sponsor, and

00:22:44.180 by the way, I have to

00:22:44.720 tell you about our

00:22:45.180 new podcast or I

00:22:46.280 mean our new, uh,

00:22:47.500 documentary that's

00:22:48.240 coming out.

00:22:48.980 Um, uh, our

00:22:50.040 sponsor this half

00:22:50.680 hour is life lock

00:22:52.280 life lock by Norton.

00:22:53.940 It, it works to keep

00:22:55.820 you as safe as you

00:22:57.580 possibly can be.

00:22:58.460 Nobody can keep you

00:22:59.180 safe.

00:22:59.960 Um, however, when it

00:23:01.420 comes to people who

00:23:03.400 are internet scamming

00:23:04.760 people who are going

00:23:05.600 in, uh, you know,

00:23:06.920 maybe posing as a

00:23:08.020 fake charity or, you 0.52

00:23:10.320 know, whatever they

00:23:12.340 take your information

00:23:13.500 and then you're

00:23:15.320 out, you're out and

00:23:16.660 all of the work of

00:23:17.760 your good credit, your

00:23:18.840 name, everything is, is

00:23:21.380 up.

00:23:21.700 Your credit score goes

00:23:22.640 down through the

00:23:23.360 toilet.

00:23:24.280 Cyber crime is a real

00:23:25.600 thing and it is, it's

00:23:27.000 happening and your

00:23:27.680 personal information

00:23:28.620 gets exposed every day

00:23:30.500 and it's really easy.

00:23:32.420 You people to take out

00:23:33.300 a loan in your name.

00:23:34.640 Cyber criminals pretend

00:24:27.840 Hello, Stu and Pat.

00:24:29.360 How are you?

00:24:29.820 Hello.

00:24:30.360 I'm actually not

00:24:31.320 the only one.

00:24:32.160 And there's a realtor

00:24:32.980 named Pat Gray that

00:24:34.040 if you Google him,

00:24:34.980 he'll pop up there

00:24:36.380 too.

00:24:36.780 Wow.

00:24:37.120 Yeah.

00:24:37.500 I'm not the only one.

00:24:38.480 Wow.

00:24:38.900 Yeah.

00:24:39.960 So that's good.

00:24:42.260 I'm in West Palm.

00:24:44.220 Thanks to the whole

00:24:45.620 staff at 1290 WJNO

00:24:47.540 for putting up with

00:24:49.500 me for the next

00:24:50.000 couple of days.

00:24:50.520 I'm here on some

00:24:51.280 business and I will

00:24:52.900 be back on Wednesday,

00:24:55.280 Wednesday morning

00:24:55.880 show.

00:24:56.600 So, Pat, do you

00:24:58.240 think it's a big deal

00:24:59.720 at all that

00:25:01.780 Lloyd Austin

00:25:02.580 was in intensive

00:25:05.040 care, right?

00:25:05.860 No.

00:25:06.180 There's nothing.

00:25:06.940 Why should the

00:25:07.560 president of the

00:25:08.220 United States

00:25:08.960 know about that?

00:25:11.460 There's no reason

00:25:12.320 for him to know

00:25:13.180 that the guy's in

00:25:14.060 intensive care for

00:25:15.540 four days.

00:25:16.940 Why would you need

00:25:17.820 to know that?

00:25:18.760 Hang on just a

00:25:19.400 second.

00:25:19.760 It's, you know,

00:25:20.360 the president

00:25:20.840 doesn't need to

00:25:21.860 know.

00:25:22.320 No.

00:25:23.100 You know,

00:25:23.700 because he's not

00:25:24.200 making the decisions.

00:25:25.220 Let's be, you know,

00:25:26.440 we just have

00:25:27.260 Was Barack Obama

00:25:28.560 informed?

00:25:29.500 That's what we need

00:25:30.240 to find out.

00:25:31.240 Amen.

00:25:32.100 Amen.

00:25:32.900 Now, we have two,

00:25:33.900 you know, theaters of

00:25:34.880 war that we're

00:25:35.480 fighting simultaneously

00:25:36.780 in right now.

00:25:38.020 Yeah.

00:25:38.580 Ukraine

00:25:39.060 and, you know,

00:25:42.820 in the Persian Gulf

00:25:43.980 where I believe

00:25:46.200 Iranians are still 1.00

00:25:49.280 launching rockets

00:25:50.600 at our ships.

00:25:51.860 Was there

00:25:52.060 no time in the

00:25:54.240 last seven days

00:25:55.260 where somebody

00:25:56.080 was like,

00:25:56.560 you know what,

00:25:57.000 let's call the

00:25:57.480 Pentagon.

00:25:57.920 Let's see if we

00:25:58.320 have permission

00:25:58.760 to do this.

00:25:59.960 Was there no

00:26:00.420 time?

00:26:01.080 Really?

00:26:02.180 Yeah.

00:26:02.860 No.

00:26:03.340 Huh.

00:26:03.820 Mm-mm.

00:26:04.580 Oh, that's, uh.

00:26:05.660 And we still don't

00:26:06.380 even, at least I

00:26:07.420 haven't heard the

00:26:08.240 reason behind the

00:26:10.100 hospitalization.

00:26:11.400 He went in for

00:26:12.380 elective surgery.

00:26:14.200 Correct.

00:26:14.820 And then had

00:26:15.460 complications.

00:26:16.760 What was the

00:26:17.480 elective surgery?

00:26:18.680 What are the

00:26:19.020 complications?

00:26:19.500 Well, it's

00:26:19.980 his privacy.

00:26:21.300 No, I'm sorry.

00:26:22.300 When you're the

00:26:22.900 defense secretary,

00:26:24.220 you don't get

00:26:25.000 medical privacy

00:26:26.740 like that.

00:26:27.760 Oh, hang on just

00:26:28.360 a sec.

00:26:28.580 You could say he

00:26:29.720 went in for an

00:26:30.380 elective surgery.

00:26:31.860 Uh, you know,

00:26:32.620 you're having his

00:26:33.500 hemorrhoids removed.

00:26:35.280 I don't need to

00:26:35.940 know about the

00:26:36.420 hemorrhoids, but

00:26:37.320 you know, uh, so

00:26:38.880 he's going in for

00:26:39.760 elective surgery.

00:26:41.100 Uh, it's no big

00:26:42.120 deal.

00:26:42.360 He should be fine.

00:26:43.380 Then complications

00:26:44.980 happened.

00:26:46.300 Okay, wait, what,

00:26:47.400 what complications?

00:26:48.280 Is he okay?

00:26:49.220 How out of it is he?

00:26:51.000 Right.

00:26:51.200 Uh, when's he going

00:26:51.900 to be returning?

00:26:52.700 And of course the

00:26:53.920 president needs to

00:26:55.340 know that no one at

00:26:57.680 the white house was

00:26:58.680 informed when he was

00:26:59.920 brought into ICU.

00:27:01.620 And I love this, the

00:27:03.440 deputy secretary of

00:27:04.700 defense who was to

00:27:06.880 assume the

00:27:07.680 responsibilities, she 0.59

00:27:09.180 was in Puerto Rico on

00:27:10.420 vacation.

00:27:10.960 So for days she was

00:27:13.300 the acting secretary of

00:27:14.500 defense, but she 0.98

00:27:15.620 didn't even know it.

00:27:16.940 You're like, I, you

00:27:17.700 know, I'm here in

00:27:18.460 Puerto Rico.

00:27:18.920 I mean, do we have

00:27:19.720 phones here?

00:27:21.020 I mean, what could I

00:27:21.820 possibly do about it?

00:27:23.220 And they're like, oh,

00:27:23.960 well, you know, Austin

00:27:25.200 approved this before he

00:27:26.840 had the surgery.

00:27:27.580 It's like, okay, well

00:27:28.700 sometimes things change.

00:27:30.660 Like I, what if they

00:27:31.820 had surrendered in the

00:27:32.820 interim with this, what

00:27:34.220 would have happened?

00:27:35.800 It's, it's, it's

00:27:36.760 honestly what's, what's

00:27:38.500 happening in the Red

00:27:39.680 Sea with the Navy and

00:27:42.180 you know, we're, we're

00:27:43.060 shooting drones out of

00:27:44.200 the sky like skeet and

00:27:46.700 no one needed to get

00:27:48.580 permission to do it.

00:27:50.400 That just didn't happen

00:27:51.400 in a week.

00:27:52.320 I mean, you want to

00:27:53.240 talk about a sock

00:27:54.080 puppet regime.

00:27:54.920 It must be this who's 0.76

00:27:56.620 making the decisions.

00:27:58.000 Yeah.

00:27:58.380 You know, Glenn, I

00:27:59.440 talked to two people

00:28:00.120 about this randomly as

00:28:01.520 it was developing and

00:28:02.740 you know, both of their

00:28:04.240 reactions were the same.

00:28:05.540 Well, I mean, you

00:28:06.400 almost understand that

00:28:07.400 they wouldn't tell

00:28:07.920 Biden because it's

00:28:08.480 because you know, he's

00:28:09.200 out of it, but like,

00:28:10.060 well, how do people in

00:28:10.840 the Pentagon not know?

00:28:11.840 And it's like, how are

00:28:13.160 we not recognizing that

00:28:14.420 statement is a massive

00:28:15.460 problem that the

00:28:16.960 American people are

00:28:18.720 actually in a position

00:28:20.440 where they think it's

00:28:21.500 normal that the

00:28:22.800 president of the United

00:28:23.420 States just is so out

00:28:24.760 of it.

00:28:25.120 They wouldn't tell him

00:28:26.100 that the secretary of

00:28:26.880 defense was in ICU.

00:28:28.000 Yeah.

00:28:28.780 With two fronts being

00:28:30.560 fought right now, two.

00:28:33.020 This is a major problem

00:28:34.360 that's been going on

00:28:35.180 though, for a while.

00:28:36.060 I mean, look what

00:28:36.860 happened to Mitch

00:28:37.340 McConnell.

00:28:37.760 And we were never

00:28:38.400 told what his deal

00:28:39.560 is either.

00:28:40.480 I mean, the American

00:28:41.680 people have no right 1.00

00:28:42.560 to know anything about

00:28:43.480 our leadership.

00:28:44.660 It's amazing.

00:28:46.140 I mean, we're told

00:28:46.780 that was dehydration.

00:28:48.220 He freezes twice on

00:28:50.000 two separate occasions

00:28:51.220 and that's dehydration.

00:28:54.180 I've been dehydrated

00:28:55.820 before.

00:28:56.940 How many times do you

00:28:57.700 freeze?

00:28:58.640 A total of

00:28:59.440 carry the one.

00:29:01.220 None.

00:29:01.960 Zero.

00:29:02.220 Yeah, zero times.

00:29:02.980 Zero times.

00:29:03.640 Zero times.

00:29:04.940 Because you carry the

00:29:05.900 one and everything.

00:29:06.500 I mean, where are we

00:29:09.060 now as a nation?

00:29:10.640 It's astounding.

00:29:13.440 What we're seeing is a

00:29:14.480 show.

00:29:15.340 Yeah.

00:29:15.720 And it's becoming more

00:29:16.840 and more obvious.

00:29:18.140 When the president just

00:29:19.600 doesn't have to be aware,

00:29:24.520 notified, when our

00:29:26.580 leadership can be wildly

00:29:28.560 impaired, when what's

00:29:31.480 her name from

00:29:32.000 California, when they

00:29:33.460 were whispering into

00:29:34.520 her ear, just vote yes. 0.98

00:29:36.420 Yeah.

00:29:37.000 We're not being

00:29:37.700 represented by the

00:29:38.640 people we are putting

00:29:40.480 into office.

00:29:41.120 Somebody else is

00:29:42.040 representing.

00:29:43.380 Themselves.

00:29:44.080 Not us.

00:29:44.760 Themselves.

00:29:45.700 How does this happen?

00:29:47.280 There's no chain of

00:29:48.460 command.

00:29:49.960 None.

00:29:51.080 I mean, shouldn't

00:29:51.740 that bother everybody?

00:29:55.900 Yeah.

00:29:56.200 You know, Democrats

00:29:56.980 too.

00:29:57.620 You know, just hello.

00:30:00.520 Yeah.

00:30:00.980 I mean, and look, we

00:30:01.660 were honest to bring up

00:30:02.700 Pat's example.

00:30:03.600 All of us called out the

00:30:04.900 Mitch McConnell thing as

00:30:05.840 completely unacceptable when

00:30:07.180 it happened.

00:30:07.560 Right.

00:30:08.080 And he should not be in

00:30:08.900 the Senate.

00:30:09.440 I stand by that.

00:30:10.460 It should not.

00:30:10.840 He should not.

00:30:11.420 He should be gone.

00:30:12.520 Yes.

00:30:12.720 They need to put somebody

00:30:13.480 else in there.

00:30:14.020 You can't have two of

00:30:15.520 those moments and continue

00:30:17.560 in that job.

00:30:18.580 Nope.

00:30:19.140 It's totally separate from

00:30:20.220 whether you think he's

00:30:20.840 doing a good job or not,

00:30:22.080 or whether you think he's

00:30:22.980 passing bills that you like

00:30:24.180 or not.

00:30:25.080 It doesn't matter.

00:30:25.720 This is, it's the country

00:30:28.060 we're talking about.

00:30:28.880 And watching the way this

00:30:29.920 is going down is not only

00:30:31.920 like disturbing and makes

00:30:34.220 you question all sorts of

00:30:35.120 things.

00:30:35.380 It's also just utterly

00:30:37.680 embarrassing.

00:30:39.160 It's embarrassing that we

00:30:40.700 have a president who can't

00:30:42.140 find the jet he's supposed

00:30:44.380 to go on.

00:30:45.740 He can't figure out which

00:30:47.220 side of the stage to walk

00:30:48.700 off.

00:30:49.060 No, his wife has to come 1.00

00:30:50.020 out and escort him off 1.00

00:30:51.320 stage.

00:30:53.120 It's embarrassing.

00:30:54.840 It's embarrassing.

00:30:56.080 This is supposed to be the

00:30:58.460 world's superpower we're

00:31:00.120 talking about.

00:31:01.280 Not like a sketch comedy

00:31:03.000 troupe.

00:31:03.980 And that's what it seems

00:31:05.100 like we're sitting in the

00:31:06.060 middle of right now.

00:31:07.420 Here's something from the

00:31:08.420 Wall Street Journal, because

00:31:09.340 this is very, very

00:31:10.200 important.

00:31:11.080 The world's wealthiest

00:31:12.040 person has used LSD,

00:31:14.300 cocaine, ecstasy,

00:31:15.940 psychedelic mushrooms,

00:31:17.840 often in private parties

00:31:19.440 around the world where the

00:31:20.420 attendees sign nondisclosure

00:31:21.900 agreements or give up their

00:31:23.060 phones to enter, according

00:31:24.520 to the people who have

00:31:25.320 witnessed his drug use and

00:31:26.560 others with knowledge of it.

00:31:27.740 Well, then you're in.

00:31:28.860 I mean, I believe you would

00:31:30.200 be in violation of your

00:31:31.180 nondisclosure agreement, but

00:31:32.540 maybe that's just me.

00:31:34.380 Musk has previously smoked

00:31:35.860 marijuana in public and he

00:31:37.340 said he has a prescription

00:31:38.240 for the psychedelic ketamine.

00:31:41.120 So what they're talking

00:31:43.120 about in this article is

00:31:44.940 illegal drug use.

00:31:46.620 That's a violation of

00:31:47.700 federal policies and

00:31:49.840 NASA is very concerned

00:31:52.000 about it.

00:31:52.800 OK, that that could

00:31:54.040 jeopardize SpaceX billions

00:31:55.840 of dollars in government

00:31:57.080 contracts.

00:31:58.020 Oh, no, this they are

00:31:59.500 coming after this guy.

00:32:01.660 Oh, big time again.

00:32:03.940 Now, by the way, so, you

00:32:05.940 know, when Elon Musk went

00:32:08.040 on to Joe Rogan a few years

00:32:09.380 ago and was smoking pot,

00:32:11.560 the the NASA came and said,

00:32:15.380 hey, we're a little

00:32:16.000 concerned, you know, are

00:32:17.640 you doing illegal drugs?

00:32:18.720 And he's like, you know

00:32:19.640 what, you can test me

00:32:20.580 anytime.

00:32:21.040 So he does random drug

00:32:22.600 screening for I think he

00:32:24.740 had to do it for three or

00:32:25.620 four years because NASA

00:32:27.360 said we want to make sure

00:32:28.580 that you're not on drugs

00:32:30.000 when we're launching

00:32:30.760 things.

00:32:31.600 So this isn't even an

00:32:33.180 issue.

00:32:33.600 Why is the Wall Street

00:32:36.220 Journal making it?

00:32:37.180 We don't care that the

00:32:38.280 president is so lost on

00:32:41.820 stage.

00:32:42.860 He's the guy that has to

00:32:44.460 make the decision or is he

00:32:46.100 if we go to war in the

00:32:49.520 second guy who is in that

00:32:51.760 chain of command, the

00:32:53.360 secretary of defense, he's

00:32:55.840 in ICU for a week and

00:32:57.040 nobody knows it.

00:32:57.840 And you're worried about

00:33:00.200 the drug use that you're

00:33:01.220 already testing Elon Musk

00:33:02.560 for.

00:33:02.900 Otherwise, he he might.

00:33:04.400 Maybe he should lose his

00:33:05.460 federal funding.

00:33:06.900 My gosh, this everything is

00:33:08.460 upside down.

00:33:10.000 Yeah.

00:33:11.100 And we have people in

00:33:13.180 office who don't even

00:33:14.520 understand what kind of

00:33:16.040 government they have been

00:33:17.700 elected to.

00:33:18.440 You know, the Gene Shaheen

00:33:20.060 quote over the over the

00:33:21.820 weekend, the tweet that she

00:33:23.680 sent out about Ben Franklin

00:33:25.600 saying that he said, we've

00:33:28.200 got a democracy if you can

00:33:29.920 keep it.

00:33:30.860 Oh, my gosh.

00:33:32.400 She did not.

00:33:33.680 Yeah, she did.

00:33:34.960 Yeah.

00:33:35.100 I mean, that that just

00:33:35.960 shows you in the U.S.

00:33:38.020 Senate, a democracy if you

00:33:40.360 can keep it.

00:33:41.080 That's not what he said.

00:33:42.060 That's not what we are.

00:33:43.520 No, no.

00:33:45.060 Unreal.

00:33:45.540 It just shows you are

00:33:46.640 either so stupid or you 0.99

00:33:49.220 know exactly what you're

00:33:50.700 doing.

00:33:51.020 That's what I think it is.

00:33:52.340 And I think that, too.

00:33:53.440 You can't know that quote.

00:33:55.160 And think it was

00:33:56.220 democracy.

00:33:57.080 No, you can't.

00:33:58.220 I mean, the whole point of

00:33:59.800 that quote is it's a

00:34:01.340 republic and that's those

00:34:03.360 are hard to keep.

00:34:06.740 It's incredible.

00:34:08.080 It's it again.

00:34:09.360 It's embarrassing and

00:34:11.040 it's incredible.

00:34:11.640 But there is a concerted

00:34:13.100 effort to make this into

00:34:14.600 a democracy.

00:34:15.240 They've been trying to get

00:34:16.160 us used to that phrase

00:34:17.340 for years now.

00:34:19.500 I mean, they are they are

00:34:20.700 really pushing it hard,

00:34:22.380 really pushing it.

00:34:23.400 So tell me

00:34:25.560 both of you.

00:34:28.440 There is a

00:34:29.680 there is a story

00:34:31.800 here.

00:34:32.160 Yeah.

00:34:32.360 J.P.

00:34:32.840 Morgan, one of the

00:34:34.520 big guys at J.P.

00:34:35.700 Morgan Chase has

00:34:36.720 just come out.

00:34:37.600 He's a strategist

00:34:38.380 come out and he's

00:34:39.780 predicted

00:34:40.160 the presidential race

00:34:43.580 and it goes to Joe

00:34:45.660 Biden.

00:34:46.360 He says, no, no, no.

00:34:48.000 Huh?

00:34:48.940 His prediction goes to

00:34:50.340 Joe Biden pulling out of

00:34:52.440 the presidential race.

00:34:54.620 He says he's going to

00:34:56.100 drop out after Super

00:34:58.020 Tuesday and cite health

00:34:59.680 reasons as he faces

00:35:01.500 dismal poll numbers.

00:35:04.140 You buy that?

00:35:06.020 I don't think that's

00:35:07.040 going to happen, but I

00:35:07.760 hope it does.

00:35:08.420 I mean, I it should.

00:35:10.440 Do you want?

00:35:11.120 Do you want?

00:35:12.020 Who do I want?

00:35:12.680 Yeah, who are they

00:35:13.760 not want, but who you

00:35:14.880 think they're going to

00:35:15.440 give it to?

00:35:16.520 I think they they'd

00:35:18.300 turn to Gavin Newsom.

00:35:22.380 They'll they'll try to

00:35:23.120 get Michelle Obama,

00:35:25.380 but I don't know that

00:35:28.120 she wants it.

00:35:29.040 I don't think she

00:35:30.120 does.

00:35:31.000 And so they'll have to

00:35:32.180 turn to Gavin Newsom

00:35:33.380 if that happens.

00:35:34.680 And I don't think

00:35:35.320 Gavin Newsom wins.

00:35:37.620 I don't think there's

00:35:38.480 any way.

00:35:39.420 California is in too

00:35:40.520 bad a shape and he's

00:35:42.260 overseen it all.

00:35:43.440 So I don't even know

00:35:45.780 why you would

00:35:47.700 consider him as an

00:35:48.940 option, but it's so

00:35:50.420 weird.

00:35:50.840 It's like it's not

00:35:51.480 like they I mean,

00:35:52.300 there are hours.

00:35:52.840 You could find

00:35:53.340 Democrats that maybe

00:35:54.300 have untouched

00:35:55.340 resumes and maybe

00:35:56.860 think that they're

00:35:57.520 good candidates.

00:35:58.300 I mean, Newsom's

00:35:58.960 been terrible on

00:36:00.420 everything.

00:36:01.600 He is legit.

00:36:03.100 His entire city is

00:36:04.440 falling apart.

00:36:05.840 His entire country is

00:36:06.840 falling apart.

00:36:07.520 The city fell apart

00:36:08.420 when he was mayor of

00:36:09.300 San Francisco.

00:36:10.120 Yeah, you know, he

00:36:11.300 and he got caught.

00:36:12.860 He did a horrible

00:36:13.440 job with COVID.

00:36:14.720 He got caught, by

00:36:16.060 the way, having

00:36:16.760 dinner when everyone

00:36:18.100 else was supposed to

00:36:19.200 be locked in their

00:36:20.480 homes.

00:36:21.280 The other part about

00:36:22.160 this that no one

00:36:22.640 remembers that he had

00:36:23.740 an infectious disease

00:36:25.700 expert as the head of

00:36:27.060 their medical

00:36:27.580 establishment ready to

00:36:29.620 go.

00:36:30.460 And instead of

00:36:31.320 giving the job to

00:36:32.380 her, this is right

00:36:33.300 before COVID, he gave

00:36:34.960 it to some woman who 0.85

00:36:36.060 was completely

00:36:36.740 unqualified because she

00:36:38.340 happened to have a

00:36:38.980 different skin tone.

00:36:40.200 It was a total

00:36:41.020 DEI hire, according

00:36:42.540 to multiple people

00:36:43.740 inside the California

00:36:45.200 government, to the

00:36:46.700 point that she was so

00:36:48.000 embarrassing when

00:36:48.980 COVID started, they

00:36:50.520 had to start hiding

00:36:51.720 her from the media

00:36:54.440 and eventually had to

00:36:55.700 basically walk her out

00:36:56.660 the door because she 0.81

00:36:57.600 was a catastrophe.

00:36:59.360 All of this happened

00:37:00.500 in front of her eyes.

00:37:01.900 Everyone saw it go on

00:37:03.440 and then he's like,

00:37:04.000 oh, he's the leader.

00:37:05.020 Like, that's how bad

00:37:05.740 their bench is.

00:37:06.600 You know what?

00:37:07.200 I have to tell you, I

00:37:08.240 would hope that that

00:37:09.280 is the case, that

00:37:10.580 they could get Gavin

00:37:11.440 Newsom to run and it

00:37:13.700 kind of, I can make a

00:37:14.740 case, let me do a

00:37:15.580 commercial and then

00:37:16.160 we'll, I'll make the

00:37:17.280 case that maybe this is

00:37:18.720 what they've been doing

00:37:19.340 all along, but I'd

00:37:20.560 rather have that than

00:37:21.460 Michelle Obama.

00:37:22.380 Oh, yeah.

00:37:23.340 Because I think Gavin

00:37:24.380 Newsom could, could be

00:37:25.800 beaten.

00:37:26.660 Michelle Obama, I don't

00:37:27.460 think could be beaten

00:37:28.300 and it would be a

00:37:30.720 nightmare.

00:37:31.960 Notice how you guys are

00:37:32.760 all walking right past

00:37:34.160 Kamala Harris.

00:37:34.960 You don't even care, you

00:37:36.000 don't even care enough

00:37:37.000 to bring her up.

00:37:38.540 No, we don't.

00:37:39.700 Oh.

00:37:40.020 Here's, thanks Pat for

00:37:50.860 something that happened

00:38:54.860 You're listening to the

00:38:56.120 swinging sounds of

00:38:57.040 Glenn Beck.

00:38:58.040 Sit tight, boys and

00:38:59.180 girls.

00:38:59.660 We'll be right back

00:39:00.420 after these messages.

00:39:01.380 So we're just

00:39:15.500 talking about

00:39:16.220 from J.P.

00:39:17.420 Morgan.

00:39:17.680 One of their chief

00:39:21.660 strategists has come

00:39:23.240 out and said that he

00:39:24.940 thinks that Joe Biden

00:39:25.880 is going to excuse

00:39:28.720 himself from the

00:39:30.680 election after Super

00:39:33.480 Tuesday because they

00:39:35.120 think the polling

00:39:35.640 numbers are going to be

00:39:36.340 so horrible.

00:39:38.520 And so the question

00:39:40.200 remains then who

00:39:41.800 becomes the candidate?

00:39:43.980 I mean, it's not going to

00:39:44.560 be Kamala Harris.

00:39:45.840 They know that's a

00:39:46.440 loser.

00:39:47.920 I do think that's the

00:39:48.900 most likely outcome.

00:39:51.000 However, if he were to

00:39:51.940 step down, I do think

00:39:52.900 Kamala Harris would be the

00:39:53.820 most likely outcome.

00:39:54.840 It would be very

00:39:55.500 difficult for the

00:39:56.320 Democrats to say, oh,

00:39:57.740 actually, you know what?

00:39:58.660 We don't want a black 1.00

00:39:59.780 woman.

00:40:00.560 You know, she was the

00:40:01.360 first ever VP who's been

00:40:02.900 in this job for multiple

00:40:04.080 years.

00:40:04.700 Instead, we're going to go

00:40:05.580 to Gavin Newsom, some

00:40:07.120 white guy from California

00:40:08.200 with a 38 percent

00:40:09.160 approval rating.

00:40:09.800 Like, that's not an

00:40:10.920 easy sell to your

00:40:12.300 voting.

00:40:12.620 You're making you're

00:40:13.740 making my theory that

00:40:15.060 at the convention or

00:40:16.540 thereabouts, Michelle

00:40:18.300 Obama is drafted by 0.78

00:40:20.680 the by the super

00:40:22.320 delegate.

00:40:22.720 Because that's the only

00:40:23.280 way they could get out

00:40:24.020 of the Kamala Harris

00:40:24.720 problem.

00:40:25.200 If you went with

00:40:26.060 another African-American

00:40:27.400 woman, a person of

00:40:28.880 color, if you would,

00:40:30.720 then you could at least

00:40:31.900 say, well, we know,

00:40:33.040 look, she's tainted by 1.00

00:40:34.360 the Biden

00:40:34.940 administration, which

00:40:36.100 can be, again,

00:40:36.980 difficult for them to

00:40:37.920 admit.

00:40:38.420 But if behind the

00:40:40.120 scenes, they could admit

00:40:40.920 it and then say, well,

00:40:41.740 Michelle is a one of the 0.95

00:40:42.980 kind, unique character

00:40:44.500 that's qualified for these

00:40:45.660 times for some reason

00:40:46.900 and make the pitch.

00:40:48.340 But you can't.

00:40:49.340 I don't think you can go

00:40:50.140 to a white dude.

00:40:50.940 I don't think you can go

00:40:51.780 to a white dude and just

00:40:52.560 skip over Kamala.

00:40:53.380 That would be very

00:40:53.940 difficult.

00:40:54.440 It would make sense why

00:40:56.020 he's been running the

00:40:57.440 whole time.

00:40:58.760 And yet he's never

00:41:00.220 announced that he's

00:41:01.120 running just to get his

00:41:02.100 name out there.

00:41:02.800 Keep it in play the

00:41:03.980 whole time.

00:41:05.160 I mean, it could be a

00:41:07.440 decent strategy, I

00:41:09.540 guess, for

00:41:10.320 numbskulls, quite

00:41:12.680 honestly.

00:41:13.280 But you could see that

00:41:14.980 could make sense.

00:41:16.800 He's been there the

00:41:17.540 whole time.

00:41:18.400 He's the guy to give

00:41:19.320 the crown to.

00:41:19.880 Sarah, stop, stop, stop, 0.95

00:41:48.660 stop.

00:41:49.880 We have a special guest

00:41:52.120 on, and this is the

00:41:53.640 theme that you want to

00:41:54.580 start the hour with.

00:41:55.800 There is only one theme.

00:41:58.040 When we're talking about

00:41:59.680 someone from Washington,

00:42:01.020 D.C., and talking about

00:42:02.380 the budget, and talking

00:42:03.940 about what's going on,

00:42:05.040 there's only one theme to

00:42:06.240 roll with, and it's this

00:42:07.260 one.

00:42:07.480 Welcome to the

00:42:17.020 fusion of entertainment and

00:42:19.660 illumination.

00:42:20.920 This is the best of Glenn Beck.

00:42:26.080 Yeah, well, hola.

00:42:30.580 We thought we'd jump on the

00:42:31.880 bandwagon because that's the

00:42:34.200 way we're going as a

00:42:35.220 country.

00:42:36.220 And what's really, really

00:42:37.780 super special is it looks

00:42:40.460 like the Republicans have

00:42:41.780 come up with a new deal that

00:42:43.300 won't secure our border at

00:42:45.100 all.

00:42:46.240 And Chip Roy is going to be

00:42:47.140 joining us in just a second,

00:42:48.540 and he's El Maddo.

00:42:51.460 So, that doesn't work?

00:42:54.920 I'm just making that up.

00:42:57.860 I don't actually speak

00:42:59.540 Mexican or Puerto Rican or

00:43:02.080 any Latin American language

00:43:05.140 at all.

00:43:05.820 So, we've got that going for

00:43:07.480 us more in 60 seconds.

00:43:09.960 First, let me tell you about

00:43:32.300 in South America because it'll

00:43:34.020 be too hot, but you're in

00:43:35.200 America now. 0.53

00:43:36.220 So, it'll be great because it

00:44:15.560 Hello, Chip Roy.

00:44:16.160 How are you, sir?

00:44:19.000 Chip, are you there?

00:44:19.760 How are you, brother?

00:44:20.880 Well, you know, I would be

00:44:24.540 better if I thought you were

00:44:26.580 bringing happy news to the

00:44:29.120 table, but the House and

00:44:31.740 Senate have put together a

00:44:32.940 budget that they say is going

00:44:35.600 to cut spending.

00:44:37.380 Whew! 0.99

00:44:38.040 Boy, is it ever.

00:44:39.680 And really has nothing to do

00:44:41.440 with the border, does it?

00:44:42.240 Yeah, Glenn, look, I mean,

00:44:44.900 first of all, greetings from

00:44:45.880 West Des Moines, Iowa, where

00:44:47.260 it's, I think, a balmy 20

00:44:48.560 degrees outside, but, and a

00:44:50.920 snowstorm coming in, but the

00:44:52.180 real snowstorm coming in is

00:44:53.700 coming into D.C. that's going to

00:44:55.300 hammer the American people. 0.74

00:44:56.860 Republicans doing exactly what

00:44:58.240 they always do, which is be the

00:44:59.720 party of excuses.

00:45:01.140 The party that will never find a

00:45:02.540 way to not, potentially, and

00:45:04.260 spend more money that we don't

00:45:05.500 have and rack up more debt.

00:45:07.020 So what are we doing now?

00:45:08.080 Under Speaker Johnson, right?

00:45:09.280 New Speaker, more of the

00:45:10.200 same garbage.

00:45:11.420 We're going to have a bill

00:45:12.280 that's $1.66 trillion.

00:45:16.840 That is almost, I think that's

00:45:19.180 about $58 billion more than the

00:45:22.280 disastrous Nancy Pelosi omnibus

00:45:24.180 bill that Republicans opposed a

00:45:25.500 year ago.

00:45:26.280 It is $100 billion more than what

00:45:29.800 we would get if Republicans had

00:45:31.840 the spine to walk onto the House

00:45:33.320 floor and send a simple, year-long

00:45:36.340 continuing resolution over to the

00:45:38.160 Senate that would trigger the 0.94

00:45:40.060 cuts, albeit a meager, in the debt

00:45:43.260 deal last summer.

00:45:44.360 It would trigger cuts that we

00:45:46.520 could get $1.562 trillion in

00:45:49.260 spending.

00:45:49.980 They won't do that because they're

00:45:51.400 all in the hip pocket of all the

00:45:52.540 lobbyists and they hide behind our

00:45:54.340 military.

00:45:55.280 And now we're not going to get the

00:45:56.600 border secure.

00:45:57.500 We're going to spend $100 billion

00:45:58.720 more than we have to.

00:46:00.040 We're going to increase spending

00:46:01.200 over the Nancy Pelosi spending deal.

00:46:02.940 And Republicans are going to go try

00:46:04.600 to sell you and the American people

00:46:06.180 that that somehow will win.

00:46:08.000 Don't believe them.

00:46:08.880 This is what the American people are

00:46:10.280 tired of.

00:46:11.060 And I'm look, I'm going to call

00:46:11.940 balls and strikes.

00:46:12.860 I call balls and strikes on Kevin.

00:46:14.860 I'm going to call balls and strikes

00:46:15.960 on Mike as speaker.

00:46:17.900 People should call balls and strikes

00:46:19.280 on me.

00:46:19.780 That's the way it works.

00:46:22.300 So, Chip, we're running out of time

00:46:25.900 and options here.

00:46:27.280 I don't know if anybody in Washington

00:46:29.020 has seen that.

00:46:31.520 But the Republicans, they don't care

00:46:36.280 about, I mean, they are not in touch

00:46:38.580 with the average American.

00:46:40.040 They're just not, at least in the

00:46:42.180 ruling class of Republican circles.

00:46:47.900 They're, I don't know, in it for

00:46:50.060 themselves or just completely delusional

00:46:52.880 on what the country is facing now.

00:46:55.240 The border alone is such a major stress

00:47:00.540 on absolutely everything from national

00:47:03.980 security to the economy, to our social

00:47:07.260 fabric, to our social services.

00:47:10.880 What is the average person supposed to do

00:47:13.740 at this point?

00:47:14.340 Well, I think, I think what Republican

00:47:18.160 leadership would tell you in the House

00:47:19.380 and the Senate is that they're trying

00:47:20.520 to negotiate a border deal right now

00:47:22.620 on the back of a Ukraine spending

00:47:24.580 fight.

00:47:25.340 Now, here's my problem with that.

00:47:27.380 Yet again, I'm being asked to accept

00:47:29.200 in October, November, I was accepted

00:47:31.440 asked to accept twice continuing

00:47:33.540 resolutions of Nancy Pelosi's spending

00:47:35.240 level.

00:47:35.660 Then I was asked to eat a National Defense

00:47:37.900 Authorization Act, which got rid of

00:47:39.560 almost all of our policy changes we put

00:47:42.020 in our version and then extended

00:47:44.080 FISA for 16 months so we can have a

00:47:45.820 government continue to spy on the

00:47:47.060 American people.

00:47:48.280 And now I'm being asked to accept this

00:47:49.780 ridiculous spending deal with no real

00:47:51.940 border security measures in it.

00:47:53.380 There'll be token so that I'll get a

00:47:55.200 promise.

00:47:55.820 Trust me, right?

00:47:56.580 Trust me, Chip.

00:47:57.580 We will do border security on a Ukraine 1.00

00:47:59.720 deal when half of the American people

00:48:01.980 don't even want to give another dollar

00:48:03.520 to Ukraine anyway, irrespective of

00:48:05.640 whether you actually got a border deal,

00:48:07.260 which neither you nor I nor your

00:48:08.960 listeners believe will actually

00:48:10.060 materialize.

00:48:11.360 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

00:48:12.820 Chip, Chip, help me out.

00:48:14.660 Which one?

00:48:15.560 I mean, I think they're both a gun to

00:48:17.760 the head dangerous, but which one is

00:48:21.180 more pressing right now?

00:48:23.480 The financial, the budget deal or the

00:48:27.300 border?

00:48:29.200 In my view, they're actually both

00:48:30.980 important, but I will take border

00:48:32.700 security first.

00:48:33.660 Me too.

00:48:33.960 Here's the problem.

00:48:35.240 Here's the problem.

00:48:36.600 We can do both.

00:48:37.720 We have in our hands because of the

00:48:39.580 work we did last year for all the

00:48:41.180 speaker fights and negotiations.

00:48:42.640 I don't want to, I don't want to set

00:48:43.560 aside.

00:48:44.100 I don't want people to totally give up

00:48:45.620 hope.

00:48:45.980 We fought last year and we did what

00:48:48.000 we've never done before.

00:48:49.000 We passed a border security bill in

00:48:50.820 HR2 that would actually do the job.

00:48:53.100 It is so good that the Wall Street

00:48:55.140 Journal today was editorializing

00:48:57.220 against it, saying it was too hard,

00:48:59.840 that it had things in there about

00:49:00.880 building the wall, that it had

00:49:02.360 E-Verify in there.

00:49:03.740 So if the Wall Street Journal is

00:49:05.020 editorializing against your border

00:49:06.400 bill, it's probably a good border

00:49:08.540 bill.

00:49:09.360 So you've got our border bill,

00:49:11.120 which was effective.

00:49:12.260 We passed it.

00:49:13.340 We got it done.

00:49:14.260 I know you're chuckling.

00:49:15.120 You know I'm right.

00:49:16.240 I know.

00:49:17.020 Well, look, hey, look, side

00:49:18.400 note, it is the Chamber of Commerce

00:49:20.360 Wall Street Journal Republicans who

00:49:21.820 have totally screwed our country for

00:49:23.680 two decades because they want their 0.81

00:49:25.720 cheap labor.

00:49:26.340 They want to sit down at the Rio

00:49:27.420 Grande.

00:49:27.840 They want to have a side that says no

00:49:29.120 trespassing while they're going

00:49:30.520 wink, wink, nod, nod with another

00:49:32.020 sign saying help wanted.

00:49:33.480 Come on in.

00:49:34.320 We don't give a crap whether our

00:49:35.560 borders wide open.

00:49:36.560 We don't give a crap if terrorists are

00:49:37.900 coming again.

00:49:38.520 We don't give a crap if cartels are

00:49:39.960 empowered.

00:49:40.540 We don't give a crap if our kids are

00:49:41.880 dying from fentanyl.

00:49:43.080 That's what's happening right now.

00:49:44.660 So we've got a bill that we passed

00:49:46.720 that was good.

00:49:47.440 Bird in hand.

00:49:48.300 We should use it to negotiate and

00:49:49.720 get border security.

00:49:51.020 We have a bird in hand, which is

00:49:53.240 caps on spending.

00:49:54.540 They weren't the caps that Glenn Beck

00:49:55.960 and Chip Roy would negotiate, but they

00:49:57.800 were caps that actually now, if we

00:49:59.980 were to pass a continuing resolution

00:50:01.680 for the rest of this year, they would

00:50:03.600 trigger 1.562 trillion, which would

00:50:07.080 mean we would cut spending between 40

00:50:09.400 and 70 billion dollars rather than

00:50:12.060 which is an additional 100 billion

00:50:14.800 dollars.

00:50:15.660 Can I can I just can I just point out

00:50:18.080 that's not a lot of money when you're

00:50:20.500 spending four trillion?

00:50:23.380 I mean, I it's it's honestly it's it's

00:50:26.880 like going to it's it's going to Bill

00:50:29.420 Gates and saying, Bill, your spending

00:50:32.400 is out of control.

00:50:33.780 And I I noticed you bought four new

00:50:37.040 cars last year that we got to stop

00:50:41.180 spending the four new car, four new

00:50:43.420 cars.

00:50:43.960 He's got a Boeing business jet he's

00:50:45.940 running around in.

00:50:46.820 I mean, this is so ridiculous to talk

00:50:50.040 about these small numbers as being so

00:50:53.040 substantial because they're not.

00:50:55.560 We lost.

00:50:56.960 What was it?

00:50:57.420 Two hundred and two hundred and fifty

00:50:59.340 billion dollars.

00:51:00.700 We just lost last year.

00:51:03.100 Just lost.

00:51:04.200 Send it out to the wrong people.

00:51:06.500 Overpaid.

00:51:07.460 What are you talking about?

00:51:10.160 Yeah, I mean, Glenn, it's absolutely

00:51:11.240 ridiculous.

00:51:11.800 The amount of waste and the spending.

00:51:13.060 But more importantly, we're funding

00:51:14.300 the very bureaucrats that are targeting 1.00

00:51:15.840 you and me and undermining our freedom.

00:51:17.220 We're targeting IR and we're funding

00:51:18.560 IRS agents from funding DOJ

00:51:20.780 bureaucrats that go after the former

00:51:22.660 president, go after you and me, go

00:51:24.060 after Mark Calc in Philadelphia.

00:51:25.280 We're funding a DHS to not secure the

00:51:27.420 border and that smug Alejandro Mayorkas

00:51:29.140 to sit up there on the stage and laugh

00:51:31.280 at us and blame it on Texas. 0.92

00:51:32.620 We're funding the lawyers to go to the

00:51:34.040 Supreme Court and challenge Texas in

00:51:35.980 court saying we can't cut razor wire.

00:51:38.320 I mean, you can't even put it into

00:51:39.480 words.

00:51:39.800 I got to be honest with you.

00:51:40.840 I'm on the ground in Iowa.

00:51:42.380 OK, I'm meeting with voters every day,

00:51:44.500 very focused voters, and they are ready

00:51:46.580 to rumble.

00:51:47.540 They are ready for a change.

00:51:49.200 They are sick and tired of what's going

00:51:50.640 on in the swamp.

00:51:51.520 They want somebody new.

00:51:52.760 They want a new direction.

00:51:53.580 They want some change and not to get

00:51:56.140 into the political side.

00:51:57.020 I'm out here stumping for Governor

00:51:58.040 DeSantis, obviously.

00:51:59.500 But they want somebody who will

00:52:01.700 actually do what they friggin said

00:52:03.180 they would do like Governor DeSantis

00:52:04.540 did in Florida.

00:52:06.020 And look, he's never flip-flopped.

00:52:08.320 And I heard on your show earlier, you

00:52:09.800 asked about Vivek.

00:52:10.640 I like Vivek.

00:52:11.420 He says a lot of great things.

00:52:13.000 But he's flip-flopped a million times

00:52:14.460 on vaccines, on Trump, COVID generally.

00:52:17.800 I could go down a list.

00:52:19.280 Governor DeSantis has delivered up and

00:52:20.880 down.

00:52:21.220 And so Governor DeSantis cut spending.

00:52:23.640 Governor DeSantis took on Fauci.

00:52:25.080 Governor DeSantis took on COVID-19.

00:52:26.820 He took on Disney and won.

00:52:28.380 He's now got Miami-Dade teachers'

00:52:31.260 unions on the run.

00:52:32.260 He got Universal School Joyce passed.

00:52:34.280 He's got economy booming.

00:52:36.000 That guy is actually a machine.

00:52:37.780 I've never seen anything like it.

00:52:38.940 And I've worked for good people.

00:52:40.380 You know that.

00:52:41.360 Guy is absolutely crushing it.

00:52:43.180 And he's doing great out here in Iowa.

00:52:45.220 I am a big fan of Ron DeSantis.

00:52:47.100 I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

00:52:48.300 I'm a big fan of Ron DeSantis.

00:52:51.680 And again, I think the only reason why Ron DeSantis is not doing real well is because

00:52:58.540 people are saying, well, I'll take Donald Trump because it's Ron DeSantis.

00:53:04.220 I don't think it is the same thing.

00:53:06.120 But that, I think, is what people are thinking.

00:53:07.640 I'll Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis.

00:53:09.780 Well, hold on.

00:53:10.500 Let's just compare apples to oranges there, right?

00:53:13.640 If you want to talk about the border, Governor DeSantis has stood up.

00:53:16.520 He fought to get bills passed there when he was in the House.

00:53:18.960 He stood up to fight for good border security bills.

00:53:21.640 In 2018, Governor DeSantis was against Paul Ryan's amnesty bill.

00:53:26.480 Donald Trump was for it.

00:53:28.280 Governor DeSantis will actually fight birthright citizenship.

00:53:31.880 President Trump said in 2016 he would sign an executive order on birthright citizenship.

00:53:35.800 He didn't do it.

00:53:36.960 Donald Trump said he would build the wall and have Mexico pay for it.

00:53:39.800 He then got up and gave excuses.

00:53:41.460 Well, we have no mechanism to make them pay for it.

00:53:43.740 We never we didn't get it built.

00:53:44.820 They didn't pay for it.

00:53:46.480 Well, Ron DeSantis stood up against Fauci, shut down COVID tyranny.

00:53:50.260 Frickin' President Trump gave Fauci a commendation on his way out of office in January of 2021.

00:53:57.180 Look, I can go down the list even further, but there's no comparison.

00:54:01.400 I mean, Governor DeSantis is the guy we've been waiting for who will deliver and he can serve for eight years.

00:54:06.420 I love President Trump for what he did to shake up the swamp.

00:54:09.240 But let's just be clear.

00:54:10.720 He did not deliver.

00:54:11.940 He didn't repeal Obamacare.

00:54:13.100 He let Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell wag him around town.

00:54:16.360 We didn't get Obamacare repealed.

00:54:18.000 Now, you and I are screwed sitting here with high health care costs, letting insurance companies run our health care system.

00:54:23.860 And instead of actually having a health care freedom, we empowered Anthony Fauci to screw Americans.

00:54:28.440 How many things do you have to fail on to then go around and say what a great president you were compared to a governor who's literally delivered on every single measure on the report card?

00:54:38.200 This is why President Trump will not debate Governor DeSantis.

00:54:41.660 Because Governor DeSantis would actually clean his clock if he compared his batting record with the former president.

00:54:48.440 So, let me go back to the budget, the border, everything that is happening in America now.

00:54:59.860 Americans are starting to cancel all of their streaming services.

00:55:02.980 There's a great story in my show prep today about the restaurant owner that has broke down the math that causes him to charge $16 for a BLT sandwich.

00:55:15.760 And when you read it, at first you're like, $16 for a BLT.

00:55:19.640 Come on, man.

00:55:20.000 And then when you read it, you're like, okay, I'm surprised he's only charging $16 for that BLT.

00:55:26.240 Americans feel it.

00:55:28.460 They know their country is being taken.

00:55:31.420 They know the Justice Department is completely out of control.

00:55:37.260 The Pentagon didn't even have a leader for a week.

00:55:42.300 And we're starting to feel like, wow, we're at the end of this thing.

00:55:47.940 What do we do if the people in Washington don't listen to the people?

00:55:54.280 What do we do?

00:55:55.300 Well, there's a number of things.

00:55:57.080 One, we've got to elect somebody good.

00:55:59.340 I've already said my piece on that.

00:56:00.900 We've got to get a president who will do it.

00:56:02.260 Number two, we in Congress have to keep holding ourselves accountable.

00:56:06.240 And the people need to keep holding us accountable to do what we said we would do in Washington.

00:56:09.980 I'm going to go back and fight this week.

00:56:11.640 I'm going to keep shining the light on it.

00:56:13.220 That's actually new.

00:56:14.500 Take hope.

00:56:15.060 We actually have a group of us there who are actually doing the hard work of exposing all

00:56:19.440 the garbage in these bills and making it harder for these guys to capitulate.

00:56:23.360 We'll get there.

00:56:24.320 Have hope that people like Riley Gaines are stood up to the woke establishment and people

00:56:28.440 like Scott Smith stood up to all of the abuses in Virginia.

00:56:31.700 Take hope that Chloe Cole stood up and said, you know what? 1.00

00:56:34.080 These forced transition surgeries are garbage.

00:56:36.340 Or Mark Houck stood up to the DOJ in Philadelphia.

00:56:39.040 We should follow their lead.

00:56:40.640 The American people should stand up and reclaim their inheritance and keep pushing.

00:56:44.140 Get people elected this year who will fight.

00:56:46.580 Pay attention to who they are.

00:56:48.100 Get out there and make a difference.

00:56:50.040 And keep holding us accountable.

00:56:51.520 But also, remember, if we want to save this country, you talk about inflation.

00:56:55.980 Talk about how everybody's suffering.

00:56:58.360 We have got to open up American energy.

00:57:00.740 We don't talk about that enough.

00:57:02.240 The Democrats are jamming through all of their subsidies for EVs.

00:57:05.580 I don't think the American people know there is a rule they're about to embrace that will

00:57:08.920 mandate two-thirds EVs by 2032.

00:57:11.700 That will destroy the internal combustion engine. 0.99

00:57:14.660 It will destroy our ability to afford automobiles.

00:57:17.920 It will crush the economy, drive the cost of goods and services up.

00:57:21.720 And I just want Republicans, for one frigging moment, to fight Democrats with half of the

00:57:27.440 energy, half of the energy that Democrats fight our country and our freedom.

00:57:31.860 That's when I'm going to go back to Washington.

00:57:33.160 When I fly back tomorrow, I'm going to absolutely rip into my Republican colleagues for this debacle

00:57:38.080 of a spending bill, and we're going to keep trying to force their hands.

00:57:41.760 Chip, can you give me maybe three more minutes?

00:57:44.980 Sure, of course.

00:57:45.940 Okay, good.

00:57:53.000 If you're like most people, there are some things that you change about your mobile plan if it

00:57:56.320 wasn't a big hassle to do so, right?

00:57:58.360 Maybe you can get in there, fiddle around with it, maybe save some money in the process.

00:58:01.900 But it's an inconvenience.

00:58:04.080 Okay.

00:59:00.120 Ten seconds.

00:59:00.680 Station ID.

00:59:11.180 We're back with Chip Roy, representative of the great state of Texas.

00:59:16.040 Chip, there's another story about the Supreme Court taking on the Donald Trump ballot case.

00:59:22.400 They're taking their own sweet time to do it.

00:59:25.640 But this is something that is sweeping America.

00:59:28.120 If they take Donald Trump off the ballot, again, what do people do?

00:59:36.620 Well, it's a great question.

00:59:37.800 First of all, what they're doing.

00:59:39.220 And look, obviously, I supported Donald Trump in 2016, supported him in 2020.

00:59:43.720 These are nominee.

00:59:44.180 What they're doing against him in Colorado is an absolute travesty.

00:59:48.720 It's politicizing the entire process.

00:59:52.040 There is no conviction for insurrection.

00:59:54.280 It's all a joke.

00:59:55.000 They're doing it purposely and politically.

00:59:56.780 We're going to have to start responding in kind.

00:59:58.840 I'm willing.

01:00:00.020 I think, I think, I think this court will strike this down and we'll call this out for what it is.

01:00:07.760 But we'll see.

01:00:08.780 Right.

01:00:09.020 And then, you know, if they don't, then I can I can assure you there's going to be then reactions.

01:00:14.240 As Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said in Texas, I think even Governor Sanchez has brought it up like we start saying that, you know, Joe Biden needs to be pulled off the ballot because he's been a complete abomination, violating our laws, violating his oath to the Constitution, endangering American people, aiding and abetting our enemies in the cartels who are flooding our country.

01:00:32.160 So how is that not in violation of the 14th Amendment that, you know, aiding and abetting your enemies?

01:00:37.980 That's the language in the 14th Amendment.

01:00:39.460 So we're going to play that game and adjudicate that based on the whims of whatever a state wants to decide, as opposed to some actual conviction after a civil war, you know, a demonstration of insurrection after a civil war as was intended in the 14th Amendment.

01:00:53.240 Then what's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

01:00:55.500 We're going to have to fight fire with fire right now.

01:00:58.200 Let's let's hope and pray the court gets this right.

01:01:00.480 I think they will.

01:01:02.160 But, man, these are strange times.

01:01:03.700 So, you know, we'll see what happens.

01:01:05.480 I assume you're like me that you think they will.

01:01:08.280 But I think I think they will.

01:01:10.880 But the Democrats, again, I think they will.

01:01:13.640 And that will pass.

01:01:14.720 But the Democrats will use that as see this this out of control conservative court.

01:01:20.440 You know, just has to be we have to have other new people on.

01:01:23.620 We got to get rid of these people.

01:01:24.780 I mean, that's that's what they're going to use it for.

01:01:26.960 I mean, that that that's the political game they'll play.

01:01:29.220 But then we just use it against them and say this is why we need a court.

01:01:31.760 And look, we've got a couple of our guys getting older.

01:01:33.920 You know, Sam Alito and Justice Thomas.

01:01:35.660 I mean, God bless them.

01:01:37.400 There are two most conservative justices.

01:01:39.840 And, you know, we got it.

01:01:41.340 We got to replace those guys.

01:01:43.460 The people at least as good or better.

01:01:44.920 Yeah, that's the three that Trump appointed were good.

01:01:48.320 But they're not as good as those guys.

01:01:49.740 Like, they're not Scalia and Thomas, right?

01:01:51.540 They're just not, you know, they're just OK.

01:01:54.560 Yeah.

01:01:55.360 Yeah.

01:01:56.180 Chip, thank you so much.

01:01:57.740 Enjoy the weather in Iowa.

01:02:00.800 It's lovely.

01:02:01.580 It ain't Dallas, I can tell you that.

01:02:02.780 By the way, they're good friends at Patriot Mobile.

01:02:05.140 I'm glad you're advertising for them.

01:02:06.400 They're good friends.

01:02:07.460 God bless you.

01:02:08.300 And I'll be back in Texas sometime soon.

01:02:10.800 You got it.

01:02:11.200 Thank you.

01:02:12.520 All right.

01:02:13.020 That's Chip Roy from the great state of Texas, who's out on the campaign trail for Governor DeSantis today.

01:02:18.620 Talking a little bit about the new deal the Republicans have cut to cut all this spending.

01:02:25.400 No, I've never been for a continuation, you know.

01:02:30.720 But I think I am this time because there's more cuts in just giving a continuation of the spending bill for another year.

01:02:38.520 What what good are the Republicans at this point?

01:02:44.780 More in just a second.

01:02:52.420 Holy cow, that's me, isn't it?

01:02:56.920 I want to talk to you a little bit about our sponsor this half hour.

01:02:59.480 It's Relief Factor.

01:03:00.980 Sleepless, sleeplessness can really be torture.

01:03:03.660 And if you've ever been through it, you know, it just it ruins your night and then it ruins the whole next day as well.

01:03:09.820 If you are unfortunate enough to lose sleep on a regular basis, you're pretty much guaranteed to walk around feeling like a zombie most of the time.

01:03:18.280 And amazingly, feeling like a zombie all the time isn't all it's cracked up to be, although you do care less about politics.

01:03:25.420 Now, there's something called Relief Factor Sleep, Relief Factor, just the same as you take for pain.

01:03:31.720 Relief Factor Sleep is 100 percent drug free brand blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress, improving mood and promoting relaxation.

01:03:42.520 I know from experience that it works.

01:03:45.600 I felt the difference the first night.

01:03:47.600 Tanya and I both tried it.

01:03:48.840 We were traveling and we take it probably once or twice a week now.

01:03:53.140 Twenty bucks gets you the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment as you drift away to dreamland.

01:03:59.300 You get a month's worth of it sitting in a jar we keep right by the nightstand.

01:04:03.300 Unleash the power of great sleep.

01:04:04.820 Call 800-4-RELIEF.

01:04:06.680 800-4-RELIEF.

01:04:08.760 Relief Factor.com.

01:04:10.640 And it's blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:04:13.400 Use the promo code COLONYRIDGE.

01:04:15.460 You'll get 30 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV.

01:04:29.600 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:04:33.160 I want to thank the nice people at WJNO in West Palm Beach for putting up with us for the next couple of days.

01:04:43.780 I'm in town doing some business and am very excited to share with you something that is coming later this week.

01:04:53.660 I'll tell you about it in just a second.

01:04:54.800 And also, in about 30 minutes, we're going to have an incredible debate.

01:04:59.800 Stu, are you ready?

01:05:01.320 I mean, because your side is going to be hard to beat.

01:05:04.220 I do not consider myself ready, no.

01:05:06.480 I would not say that I am ready.

01:05:08.740 Well, it's not for a lack of trying.

01:05:10.180 I mean, it's – I mean, they've given you – I mean, it'll be a full 35 minutes to debate the good side of Franco, which should be pretty easy because there's a lot of people in America who are like, you know, Franco wasn't so bad.

01:05:25.500 I'm not one of them, though.

01:05:26.760 That's one of the problems with this debate format.

01:05:28.520 We're fair and balanced here.

01:05:30.660 We're fair and balanced.

01:05:32.200 We want to make sure that, you know, we really give Franco his due.

01:05:38.380 We actually have done some research on the things that people are saying that are good about Franco and then the truth about Franco.

01:05:47.680 And I don't think they balance out, but maybe that's me.

01:05:54.680 But for those conservatives that are on the Franco bandwagon, you might want to listen up next hour because I think you're going to learn a lot.

01:06:06.320 Okay.

01:06:06.780 Now, coming up later this week, Blaze TV is doing something really special, the thing that we promised when we started Blaze TV Plus.

01:06:16.380 We're going to be doing documentaries now.

01:06:19.220 And so, what is it, every month, Stu, or every other month, something like that?

01:06:23.600 Once a month?

01:06:24.220 I thought it was once a month.

01:06:25.640 Yeah, you may be once every other month, but there's a bunch of them coming in the pipeline already.

01:06:29.900 And really, really good documentaries.

01:06:32.520 This one is my take on the border.

01:06:35.900 You know, they got some problems down on the border.

01:06:38.200 That's what I hear.

01:06:39.100 That's what I hear.

01:06:40.120 This one isn't your typical, hey, let's stand down at the border and show you the illegals crossing.

01:06:46.160 Seen it.

01:06:47.420 I know it.

01:06:48.500 Let me show you, in reality, what is happening to our states.

01:06:53.900 And we took Texas as an example.

01:06:57.100 We've been following, if you've been following the show, you know that I was down in Houston about a month ago for the filming of one of our Blaze originals about Colony Ridge.

01:07:08.680 Colony Ridge is the fastest-growing development in Texas.

01:07:15.980 Now, think of that.

01:07:17.480 Because I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of people are moving to Texas.

01:07:22.200 So, what does it take to be the fastest-growing development in Texas?

01:07:27.320 It's 30 minutes right outside of Houston.

01:07:31.260 And I got to experience firsthand not only the vast size of Colony Ridge, which is 50% larger than Manhattan, but I also got to see it from the sky.

01:07:47.280 I got to smell it.

01:07:49.140 Oh, it smells so good there.

01:07:50.700 The air is so garbage-y.

01:07:54.040 It's really nice.

01:07:55.000 But I also took a ride with John Harris, the developer, and I wanted to hear his side of the story.

01:08:01.140 And, well, I'll let you decide for yourself.

01:08:05.700 So, are the rumors true?

01:08:08.320 Is Colony Ridge specifically targeting illegal immigrants to take up residency there in Colony Ridge?

01:08:16.360 How is this new development impacting the basic utilities, you know, just like water, sewage, local school systems?

01:08:28.740 What toll on the existing residents?

01:08:30.880 And if I told you that Colony Ridge could fundamentally change the political landscape of Texas and the nation forever, would you believe me?

01:08:42.180 Your answer should be yes.

01:08:46.520 And I'll prove that to you on Thursday with the Blaze original documentary team.

01:09:54.480 Okay, I want to play a little clip of this.

01:09:56.720 Now, what's interesting is Colony Ridge growing, I don't know, a little fast, 200 lots per week.

01:10:05.300 The overwhelming percentage seems to be illegals.

01:10:10.720 Maybe we don't know because nobody checks, but it's predominantly non-English speaking.

01:10:17.920 Let's put it that way.

01:10:19.620 The developer says there's about 35,000 people that live there.

01:10:24.980 Local officials say, I don't think so.

01:10:28.220 Count again.

01:10:28.840 It's at least double that.

01:10:30.780 When the U.S. has opened its borders, where do these people go to live? 1.00

01:10:35.500 We have 8 million people inside of our country now that weren't here before Biden took the oath of office.

01:10:43.380 There will be 10 million by the end of next year, and this is changing everything in Texas, and it will change everything in the voting of Texas.

01:10:54.560 I mean, even if you say, well, not this generation, but the next generation, it will.

01:10:59.660 And if we lose Texas, we lose our country.

01:11:03.620 Now, you would think that our governor would be all up in arms about this.

01:11:07.420 You would think that, you know, he's doing everything he can to help the border.

01:11:11.380 But he received $1.4 million from the developers.

01:11:16.880 Hmm.

01:11:17.600 Now, we reached out to give Greg Abbott a chance to talk to us about it.

01:11:22.320 We called his office.

01:11:23.200 We left messages.

01:11:24.120 We sent email after email.

01:11:25.860 We text messaged him.

01:11:27.400 We even sent a letter in case maybe the post office, you know, still delivers those things.

01:11:33.100 And that's what they needed for a formal information, a formal invitation to be on with us.

01:11:38.260 We did, however, speak to the CEO, John Harris, and we asked him about $1.4 million in political donations.

01:11:47.100 What do you get for that?

01:11:48.200 Listen.

01:11:49.340 I've heard this a lot today.

01:11:56.040 Everybody's on the take.

01:11:57.400 Everybody, like, the cops?

01:12:00.260 You think Texas DPS?

01:12:01.800 No, no, no, no.

01:12:02.400 Not the cops.

01:12:03.960 Politicians all on the take.

01:12:07.340 That's not true.

01:12:08.340 What can they do for me?

01:12:10.160 Like, what?

01:12:11.920 Come on.

01:12:12.820 Come on.

01:12:13.960 Okay.

01:12:14.520 Yeah, so sure.

01:12:15.660 You'll believe this answer.

01:12:20.940 Yeah, he's, you know, he said they just gave $1.4 million to Governor Abbott because he's good.

01:12:29.520 He says, I mean, you think he's good.

01:12:32.780 And I said, I didn't give him $1.4 million.

01:12:36.960 What are you getting out of this?

01:12:38.500 But it's a fascinating look at what's going on at the border.

01:12:42.640 And this is what our country is going to turn into.

01:12:47.020 You can't import third world people and just dump them into your country and expect that you're not going to have a third world nation. 1.00

01:12:58.620 You're going to.

01:13:00.260 Who's paying for the infrastructure?

01:13:02.700 Who's paying for the schools? 0.98

01:13:04.080 Who's paying for all of these things?

01:13:06.800 Well, they are because they got a tax ID.

01:13:11.540 Oh, okay.

01:13:12.800 Okay.

01:13:13.500 All right.

01:13:14.180 Really?

01:13:15.260 This is a third world nation that we are developing right now in America.

01:13:20.720 And you'll see it all.

01:13:22.880 And you'll see the truth.

01:13:25.240 And I think maybe for the first time on Colony Ridge because it was really a difficult topic to tackle.

01:13:32.600 You want to just pour red meat out for people.

01:13:37.780 That's fine.

01:13:38.740 But we found a very different story, still shocking, but a very different story than the one we thought we were going to get.

01:13:48.920 So that's Colony Ridge.

01:13:50.140 You'll see that Blaze original documentary on Colony Ridge hosted by me on Thursday, wherever you connect to Blaze TV.

01:14:01.820 More in just a second.

01:14:06.020 So, Stu, did you get a Berna weapon yet?

01:14:08.460 Not yet.

01:14:09.100 No.

01:14:09.400 I want to, though.

01:14:11.020 Lisa's going to love it.

01:14:12.400 Lisa's going to love it.

01:14:14.060 Berna is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will send potential threats running in the opposite direction.

01:14:21.720 It's legal in all 50 states.

01:14:24.260 You do not need a permit.

01:14:25.720 You don't need a background check.

01:14:27.680 Nothing.

01:14:28.300 And it can be used by all age groups under, I'm sorry, over 18.

01:14:32.280 All age groups under 18.

01:14:33.760 You should see this with a three-year-old.

01:14:35.720 No.

01:14:36.680 You have to be over 18. 0.96

01:14:38.460 But it's completely legal everywhere.

01:14:42.080 The Berna launcher is kind of a powerful deterrent.

01:14:46.280 Now, it's not going to kill anybody, but I kind of like that.

01:14:50.740 I mean, I carry a gun, but if I'm in a situation and I'm seeing, you know, a robbery in the convenience store, if I've got a clean shot, okay.

01:15:00.240 If I don't, and it's really clear on what's going on, but with Berna, you don't have to have that.

01:15:08.600 You have a 60-foot range.

01:15:10.400 You can fire a tear gas pellet.

01:15:13.340 If it hits them or anywhere within six feet, they're going down, and they're incapacitated for half an hour.

01:15:20.300 So, pretty good.

01:15:22.160 My wife has it.

01:15:23.340 I've given it to every member of my family so they have one.

01:15:26.600 They can just keep it, you know, in the car, wherever they're going, keep it in the purse.

01:15:30.940 Every situation in which you or your family is in danger is not the same.

01:16:19.720 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:21.620 We have somebody from JPMorgan Chase, who is one of their strategists.

01:16:26.780 He has put together a list of things.

01:16:28.420 Ten surprises.

01:16:29.480 And you know how much we all love surprises.

01:16:31.440 Ten surprises for 2024.

01:16:35.120 One of them, the one that's getting all the attention, is Biden's going to pull out of the presidential race due to poor health.

01:16:42.280 What?

01:16:42.680 He's the picture of health.

01:16:43.880 You know, he's actually the picture of it.

01:16:47.200 I mean, he's not healthy as a human being, but the picture of him looks very healthy.

01:16:51.140 So that's the one that's getting all the attention.

01:16:54.620 But there's a few others in there that you should hear and possibly weigh yourself.

01:17:00.840 Gee, does that sound like that could happen or not?

01:17:04.160 But we'll have those for you coming up next hour.

01:17:06.620 And also, Franco, his good points and his bad points.

01:17:11.420 Who's going to win?

01:17:12.640 Who's going to win?

01:17:13.720 America wonders, scratching its head right now.

01:17:16.580 Was he a good guy or a bad guy?

01:17:19.000 We say hello and welcome back to Stu Bergeer, our executive producer.

01:17:24.760 Hello, Stu.

01:17:25.680 I notice you've given me the pro-Franco side in this debate.

01:17:30.220 I thought that was the easier side.

01:17:31.780 Is it really?

01:17:33.320 Yeah.

01:17:33.580 I don't have many good things to say.

01:17:35.340 The main thing that I know about Generalissimo Francisco Franco is that he's still dead.

01:17:40.720 Other than that...

01:17:41.700 No, that's not the spirit of what we're looking for, Stu.

01:17:43.860 Okay.

01:17:44.420 That's definitely not the spirit we're looking for.

01:17:46.160 I mean, do I have to give you some?

01:17:48.240 Is that what you need?

01:17:51.780 Sure.

01:17:52.360 I mean, he was neutral and didn't get invaded in World War II.

01:17:56.400 He kept Spain out of the war. 0.81

01:17:58.820 Hello?

01:17:59.480 Mm-hmm.

01:18:00.380 Okay.

01:18:00.920 Mm-hmm.

01:18:01.140 So he kept him out of war.

01:18:05.520 There you go.

01:18:06.440 Well, so...

01:18:07.340 You got that.

01:18:07.840 It's a shorter segment than I expected, but you have that going on for you, which is nice.

01:18:12.140 Well, I mean, and it's not about Franco, right?

01:18:14.260 Like, this is a...

01:18:15.520 Specifically, it's not about Franco.

01:18:17.120 It's about this idea that the right needs to take more authoritative powers, right?

01:18:23.200 That seems to be what is enticing people into these arguments.

01:18:26.080 Because it's not just Franco.

01:18:27.000 There's several other examples that people bring up as potential models for some future new right.

01:18:33.240 And I don't know.

01:18:34.020 I mean, it all seems a tad dangerous to me.

01:18:36.460 You know, giving more authority to a centralized government usually does make me feel that way.

01:18:42.080 What could possibly go wrong?

01:18:44.320 I can't imagine.

01:18:46.260 I would assume that's your side of the debate.

01:18:50.700 But I don't know.

01:18:51.740 I mean, it is amazing that that is where, I guess...

01:18:57.180 People are.

01:18:57.560 Yeah, it's interesting that both sides have convinced themselves they're losing all the time.

01:19:03.880 Like, I was listening to...

01:19:05.240 There was a story in our prep, which you should get, by the way, glenbeck.com.

01:19:08.600 A great newsletter that goes out every day.

01:19:11.160 It talks about some guy on the far left.

01:19:14.480 I think, is it Sank?

01:19:15.400 One of the guys on the far left.

01:19:16.880 Saying that, you know, John Fetterman.

01:19:19.240 Now, this is what happens.

01:19:20.100 You put a good progressive in and they immediately turn into Republicans.

01:19:23.080 Like, the left feels the same way we do.

01:19:25.820 Like, they all feel...

01:19:26.820 Everyone feels that their side is constantly failing.

01:19:29.900 And you never win anything.

01:19:31.560 And when you get two sides that believe that, more and more extreme tactics are embraced by those sides.

01:19:39.720 It's also partially true, I think, for both sides.

01:19:42.820 Certainly much more, I think, correct for the right.

01:19:45.620 But that doesn't mean you jump to tactics that the left loves, right?

01:19:51.260 The left loves centralized government and authoritarian power.

01:19:54.480 You go that direction, I think you end up in that spot.

01:19:56.880 Yeah, we really don't...

01:19:58.040 That would not be good.

01:19:58.920 And by the way, Fetterman, I mean, he is saying some shocking things.

01:20:02.980 But you hired a guy with brain damage.

01:20:06.840 I mean, you get what you get when you roll that roulette wheel.

01:20:10.420 But he's not exactly conservative.

01:20:16.420 He's not a Republican.

01:20:17.440 But he is saying unbelievable things lately.

01:20:22.500 He said...

01:20:23.680 He was talking about Harvard.

01:20:25.220 And he said, look, I graduated 25 years ago.

01:20:27.360 And of course, it was always a little pinko.

01:20:29.240 But I don't even recognize it now.

01:20:32.520 Wait.

01:20:33.900 What?

01:20:34.500 And how are you a...

01:20:37.900 What?

01:20:40.140 Fetterman also said that Israel is really a beacon of the kind of values, the American values, and progressive ideals that we want to see.

01:20:51.660 In that region, it's our strongest ally.

01:20:55.520 We have a very special kind of relationship.

01:20:57.180 I don't understand how anyone can vote against the Iron Dome or want to harm Israel businesses or the nation or anything.

01:21:03.800 I never understood that.

01:21:05.360 Calling them colonizers?

01:21:07.220 Where does this come from?

01:21:08.940 Oh, I don't know.

01:21:09.680 The universities.

01:21:11.240 More and more of my colleagues are calling for a ceasefire.

01:21:14.520 It's so strange.

01:21:15.160 Why aren't you calling for Hamas to surrender?

01:21:17.340 If Hamas surrendered and turned over their guns, all the killing and misery would end.

01:21:21.660 That's John Fetterman.

01:21:24.280 Not making a lot of the pinko bedwetters happy today, but not exactly a Republican either. 1.00

01:21:33.680 All right.

01:21:34.460 The Great Debate.

01:21:36.480 It's really more of a debate between me and Stu.

01:21:39.320 Who could win?

01:21:40.320 We debate Franco next.

01:21:51.660 We have no room to compromise.

01:22:02.660 We've got to stay together if we're going to survive.

01:22:11.900 Stay up straight and hold the line.

01:22:18.020 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:22:36.640 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:39.660 You know what is interesting is when you start to have conservatives say things like, I don't know, Franco wasn't so bad.

01:22:54.420 It kind of, for me, it just kind of takes the air out of the room a smidge.

01:23:00.000 And you think to yourself, something is definitely changing here.

01:23:06.580 Maybe we should address that.

01:23:08.300 So, Franco, we will in 60 seconds.

01:23:12.080 First, let me tell you about Antoinette.

01:23:16.460 When she found out she was pregnant, Antoinette realized that she was in deep trouble.

01:23:20.980 She had no idea how she was going to raise a child on her own.

01:23:23.980 So, she did what people do now.

01:23:27.680 And she started looking for an abortion clinic. 1.00

01:23:30.980 By the grace of God, however, she found a pre-born clinic instead.

01:23:35.600 Antoinette, where she met her baby first on ultrasound.

01:23:39.180 When she saw that face and heard the heartbeat, she broke down crying.

01:23:42.780 The nurse reminded her that babies are a blessing from God.

01:23:46.500 Antoinette chose life.

01:23:48.320 Her daughter's name is Treasure because she's a gift from God.

01:23:53.380 There are millions more to be saved.

01:23:56.720 And pre-born does this work every day.

01:23:59.460 Each of these babies is truly miraculous.

01:24:02.720 And every day, pre-born celebrates 200 miracles.

01:24:06.540 And $28 can be the change and the difference between life and death of a child.

01:24:12.160 When a mom meets her babies on an ultrasound that you paid for for $28, here's the heartbeat. 0.84

01:24:17.560 It's a divine connection that doubles the baby's chance at life.

01:24:20.960 So, let's join and help moms choose life. 1.00

01:24:24.140 Just dial pound 250.

01:24:25.560 Say the keyword baby.

01:24:26.560 That's pound 250, keyword baby.

01:24:29.480 Or go to preborn.com slash beck.

01:24:32.000 That's preborn.com slash beck.

01:24:34.120 Sponsored by Preborn.

01:24:37.740 So, for some unknown reason, when I said, hey, let's do a debate on the good things and the bad things about Franco,

01:24:45.260 Stu immediately said, I want to do the pro-Franco stuff.

01:24:50.520 Because he's, I didn't realize this, Stu.

01:24:52.680 You're a big fan of Franco?

01:24:53.760 No, this is all fraudulent information, and I would like that to be known, that Glenn is lying as usual.

01:25:00.140 Well, that's not what America is hearing right now, but we'll go with that little lie of yours.

01:25:04.820 So, we looked in, and I wanted to get somebody to debate the other side, like Stu, because, you know, he's pretty thorough.

01:25:16.800 He's a fact-based guy.

01:25:18.780 And so, I thought, let's get him, because the facts are, I think you'd verify this, the facts are overwhelming in Franco's favor.

01:25:27.780 I would not verify that, actually, and would feel the opposite, frankly.

01:25:33.120 Really?

01:25:33.600 Yes.

01:25:34.320 And maybe we should start, though, with why.

01:25:37.600 Why would we be debating the positives and negatives of Franco?

01:25:42.420 What would be the purpose of that, and why would that occur in 2024?

01:25:47.360 A week before the Iowa caucuses, why are we talking about Franco, of all people?

01:25:52.260 Well, Francisco Franco, you might remember him, he was the head of the Spanish state.

01:26:00.480 He was what you might call a dictator, and a lot of people now, it seems, in America are starting to say, you know, we should have somebody like Franco that just comes in and, you know, stops all this nonsense.

01:26:16.280 And I'm thinking to myself, no, no, we shouldn't have somebody like Franco.

01:26:20.640 Unfortunately, a lot of the people that are debating this, and who are cozying up to the idea of an American Franco, are conservatives.

01:26:32.740 And I don't, you either don't know who Franco is, or I wouldn't classify you as a conservative.

01:26:41.800 But maybe that's me.

01:26:43.860 Maybe that's just me.

01:26:44.920 And I, of course, feel the opposite, and feel that he was great, and did a great job in his 36 years of being a dictator.

01:26:55.260 I think that's an appropriate amount of time.

01:26:57.280 So you're doing a great job so far.

01:26:59.980 Okay, so here is the thing.

01:27:02.020 Now, some of the stuff we gathered, polling, for instance, show that, you know, he's not so bad to many of the people in Spain.

01:27:12.820 And in Italy, you know, neither was Mussolini.

01:27:17.640 You know, as long as you went along with him.

01:27:20.240 Some of this stuff comes from the Madrid Center for Sociological Research, a government research center,

01:27:26.200 showed that the majority of the Spanish public now acknowledge that Franco did both good and bad things.

01:27:34.200 Now, I'm going to ask for a definition of the word bad, because I'm not sure.

01:27:44.080 I mean, the term bad, does that include extermination camps, Stu, or not, do you think?

01:27:51.580 I typically am of the opinion that they are universally bad extermination camps.

01:27:58.880 Never a good idea.

01:27:59.740 Okay, but I mean, is that maybe, I don't know, significantly understating the badness of extermination camps, or genocide, or crimes against humanity?

01:28:14.140 I consider them suboptimal, Glenn.

01:28:16.880 Suboptimal, okay.

01:28:18.040 All right, we'll see.

01:28:18.680 We got the right guy for, you know, the debate, Franco side.

01:28:21.780 Okay, so would you like to start, or should I start?

01:28:25.120 You go ahead, Glenn.

01:28:26.120 I go ahead, okay.

01:28:27.140 You've got that really tough task to make Franco look bad, so I'm going to give you all the lead-up you need.

01:28:32.820 Okay, so now both sides of the debate, both good and bad, Franco, they will admit that he committed massive atrocities during the Spanish Civil War.

01:28:45.280 His nationalists raped Republican women and shaved their heads.

01:28:49.220 They rounded up half a million people and put them in 60 concentration camps.

01:28:54.440 A large portion of these prisoners did forced labor or made to fight in Franco's army, and then, you know, he executed another 100,000 people during the war.

01:29:05.840 So, right off there, I think, I don't think I'm on the Franco train.

01:29:10.220 Really?

01:29:11.120 Yeah.

01:29:11.660 The train is an interesting use there.

01:29:13.740 Well, I thought so.

01:29:14.900 Yeah.

01:29:16.500 Yeah, well, but as you, again, I will attempt my best here, but Franco did, at least, when you're thinking of the Spanish people, or at least half of them, specifically, he did keep them out of World War II by kind of remaining neutral.

01:29:30.560 Now, some might note that you didn't get invaded, and you were less likely to be invaded by Hitler when you did things that Hitler didn't mind all that much, which is not, you know, necessarily a positive.

01:29:43.380 But I'm telling you it's a positive that, hey, he remained neutral in World War II and didn't get invaded.

01:29:48.920 Okay, all right, okay.

01:29:51.740 You know, but he was busy there for a while in his own civil war, and the public affairs officer for Franco's forces told an American reporter, quote,

01:30:02.740 You know what's wrong with Spain?

01:30:05.560 Modern plumbing.

01:30:07.360 In healthier times, spiritually healthier, you understand, the plague and pestilence, they could be counted on to thin the Spanish masses. 1.00

01:30:17.960 Now, with modern sewage disposal, people just multiply too fast, and the masses are no better than animals, you understand.

01:30:26.500 You can't expect them not to become infected with the virus of Bolshevism. 0.94

01:30:32.980 After all, rats and lice carry the plague.

01:30:36.940 So, he had a really good understanding of a servant to the people, you know?

01:30:43.580 Sure.

01:30:44.440 Well, you could say that.

01:30:46.180 However, we've all become so indoorsy these days.

01:30:49.200 I mean, like, you know, when it's 32 degrees, we don't even go out to outhouses anymore.

01:30:53.180 The outdoor plumbing was a better approach.

01:30:57.060 Was it?

01:30:57.880 Yes, much better.

01:30:58.900 And I think we should go back to that.

01:31:01.160 So, get rid of modernity like toilets. 0.65

01:31:04.160 Yeah, modernity.

01:31:05.560 That's an interesting word.

01:31:06.680 I feel like we've used that with some Russian figures over the past few years that they are saying get rid of modernity as well.

01:31:14.340 And some Christian nationalists, too.

01:31:16.440 Well, what you're not talking about, of course, is the fact that foreign investment was encouraged and tourism was promoted.

01:31:25.300 And by 1962, per capita income for the nation's 33 million people reached $300 per year.

01:31:34.780 Holy cow. 0.89

01:31:35.700 Holy cow. 0.89

01:31:36.520 So, I mean, I noticed you didn't point that out when you – because, I mean, imagine how high it would have went if we could still go to outhouses.

01:31:43.820 Probably could have doubled that number.

01:31:45.220 Well, let me just – I hate to throw a monkey wrench into the deal, but I wasn't really concentrating on the tourism because after the war, Franco was responsible for the torture, murderer,

01:32:00.380 and covert burial of an additional 114,000 Spanish citizens, he just targeted people, Republican loyalists, atheists, Jews, intellectuals, liberals, academics, Protestants – I mean, but you didn't see the Protestants.

01:32:18.580 I mean, you know, anarchists, Freemasons, socialists, Catalan and Basque nationalists, communists, homosexuals, and trade unionists.

01:32:33.280 So – and they just – they opened up mass graves all around Spain, and relatives, you know, couldn't mark the grave or anything else.

01:32:41.600 They just dumped them in and just covered them with dirt.

01:32:43.720 Well, I have to say what you want, but we wouldn't have this Basque nationalist problem if it wasn't for all this indoor plumbing.

01:32:50.380 And I think Franco nailed that, by the way.

01:32:55.080 Right.

01:32:55.340 But you did mention an interesting word there, communist.

01:32:59.240 You see, he was an anti-communist.

01:33:01.340 He was an anti-socialist.

01:33:02.740 He opposed a lot of the things that we oppose today, which somehow is supposed to be a reason enough to love the guy.

01:33:10.380 And that's why I'm making this positive argument for Franco.

01:33:15.340 But he did oppose communists.

01:33:18.200 It's true.

01:33:18.640 He did oppose socialists.

01:33:19.900 Of course, I don't want to point out some of the other figures in Europe at the time who also hit that standard and maybe are not thought of so positively.

01:33:31.380 Wow.

01:33:31.900 It sounds like you're not convinced he's a good guy.

01:33:34.240 What?

01:33:34.880 No, I just told you he was against communists.

01:33:37.260 Let me see if I can flip Stu on this one.

01:33:39.820 You know, the children from Republican families were taken, and they weren't killed.

01:33:45.960 They were just abducted, renamed, and given to supporters of the Franco regime.

01:33:52.440 An estimated 300,000 babies were also stolen from hospitals and undesirable parents, and then they were sold to approved families.

01:34:02.620 Have you heard any of the dumb names parents are naming kids these days?

01:34:06.320 They should be captured and renamed.

01:34:08.780 That's the only way we could save our society today.

01:34:11.180 Yes, and Franco is one of the few people who knew that, and I'll tell you this, Glenn, he did promote strong Spanish national identity and culture.

01:34:25.540 And this seems to be honestly what people...

01:34:28.180 But he was kidnapping babies.

01:34:29.820 Seems to be...

01:34:30.720 Yeah, sure.

01:34:31.520 And opposing indoor plumbing.

01:34:33.280 But it seems to be what people do like, just like me, who's arguing the pro-Franco side, is that he did have a bit of a...

01:34:42.780 He had a nationalist streak, which has some equivalent here in the modern movement on the right.

01:34:49.960 And also, he did promote...

01:34:53.560 He did love Spanish culture, and he did not like people undercutting that.

01:34:58.060 And so, he used the centralized power of the state that he held for 36 years, he used that power to enforce some things that maybe you might like.

01:35:13.640 And if he did that, shouldn't we just embrace it?

01:35:16.600 But, wait, beyond having martial law for 10 years, while he was, of course, busy talking about how great Spain was, he was also dumping bodies in a massive grave.

01:35:32.740 He was stealing babies and taking children, killing their parents, and then taking the children and adopting them into pro-Franco families. 0.99

01:35:42.940 So, I think that makes me...

01:35:45.500 As a nationalist, it would make me love Spain maybe a little less.

01:35:50.420 Hmm.

01:35:50.960 Well, I mean, that's...

01:35:52.220 If you had a good name, then maybe you'd change your opinion once the government assigned you your new name, which was much, much better than your old name.

01:36:03.700 I will say, though, you know, Glenn, once he aged...

01:36:08.600 See, here's the thing.

01:36:09.300 You know, people look at this and say, look, did Franco do some bad things?

01:36:12.600 Sure, some people will say that.

01:36:14.700 But they will also note that it was a trying time, a difficult period after the war, and the country was collapsing.

01:36:22.340 He needed to act in that way.

01:36:24.480 And once he aged, he did release and relax some of those rules.

01:36:31.780 Police, you know, beating people over the head for no apparent reason, declined by, like, I don't know, 13% or something.

01:36:38.820 And he did allow some free market reforms.

01:36:42.200 Now, some would point out, hey, maybe you just put the free market reforms in because they're good and you don't just wait, you know, for 30 years of a dictatorship before you do some of those things.

01:36:52.220 But, hey, later on in life, you know, he aged and he calmed a little bit.

01:36:57.240 And isn't that wonderful?

01:36:59.140 Well, still didn't allow any freedom of the press.

01:37:01.800 But also, he, I mean, employment, if you were unemployed, you could get a job if you were a Franco supporter.

01:37:12.460 But people were required to get a certificate of good behavior from local officials so you could get a job, which kind of sounds like what we don't want to happen here.

01:37:26.020 Well, I mean, some would say that.

01:37:31.020 There's certain people out there who would make claims.

01:37:33.860 I think I'm just going to, I think while you're making very good points, I think I'm just going to leave it at this.

01:37:40.580 Only Cambodia, known for the killing fields, only Cambodia has more mass graves and anonymous victims than Franco's Spain.

01:37:53.580 Well, anonymous victims because they rejected their new names.

01:37:59.020 Thank you.

01:38:00.900 Just don't get this movement.

01:38:02.560 I really don't.

01:38:04.300 All right, let me tell you about rough greens.

01:38:05.700 You fed your dog today yet?

01:38:07.380 How'd he like it?

01:38:09.120 You don't know.

01:38:09.840 Can't answer that question.

01:38:10.820 You don't know if he liked it or not.

01:38:12.540 Okay?

01:38:13.120 They don't talk.

01:38:14.860 How much nutritional good do you think your food is doing him?

01:38:18.400 Well, if it's kibble food, the unfortunate answer is probably not all that much.

01:38:24.180 Just like your body, your dog's body needs things that will make him healthier and happier, things like probiotics, all of the vitamins and minerals that are cooked out of kibble food.

01:38:36.740 That's why I want to talk to you about rough greens.

01:38:39.160 Rough greens is a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on your dog's food.

01:38:45.480 Brown food is dead food.

01:38:46.940 Remember that you want the green stuff.

01:38:49.080 The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

01:39:16.940 Yes.

01:39:22.080 Yes.

01:39:23.040 Well, Stu, I mean, I thought you made a lot of good points on Franco because there's a lot of them out there, as you well know.

01:39:31.080 Well, you know, I'm a passionate supporter, apparently, of Franco.

01:39:35.320 So.

01:39:36.080 Yeah.

01:39:37.040 Yeah.

01:39:37.220 I know that you almost slipped there and said Hitler.

01:39:39.880 No, I.

01:39:40.480 Well, no, I didn't.

01:39:42.060 But I know what you mean.

01:39:44.160 Too many similarities there to be ignored.

01:39:47.280 I don't.

01:39:47.920 Look, we had we had a lot right, I think, in this country, you know.

01:39:53.160 And I feel like we're at the point where we want to throw a lot of the things that we did correctly out the window because we perceive this as a period of things not going our way.

01:40:03.100 That's not a good.

01:40:04.180 Like, there's a reason why we've been a country that's been this powerful for a long time.

01:40:08.620 And those principles are the ones that got us here.

01:40:10.680 And it just feels like if we were to go back and embrace them a little bit, maybe we wouldn't need to have a 40 year dictatorship.

01:40:19.360 I don't know.

01:40:20.040 Those can be fun.

01:40:21.820 The for the dictators, usually the what's happening to us right now.

01:40:28.760 And the reason why, Franco, people are starting to say, you know, we need maybe a nationalist and a religious dictator.

01:40:35.280 No, we don't.

01:40:36.540 You know, we need one as much as Iran needs one. 0.99

01:40:40.680 You oh, wait a minute.

01:40:42.640 They already have one.

01:40:43.760 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:40:44.460 So some other country other than Iran.

01:40:46.940 We don't need that.

01:40:48.560 We shouldn't want that.

01:40:50.500 That's a very grave danger to anyone and everyone, because that's a dictatorship that just can eliminate those who they deem problems.

01:41:00.080 I don't want that on the left.

01:41:01.300 I don't want that on the right.

01:41:02.740 I don't want it here, there or anywhere, Sam.

01:41:05.060 I am the.

01:41:06.860 The the reason why this is happening is because things are becoming uncontrollable.

01:41:13.140 The the government has gone so far awry that people believe that only an unconstitutional dictator can save the country.

01:41:24.940 And that's not true.

01:41:26.780 All you have to do is return to the Constitution.

01:41:31.220 If you return to the Constitution, all of it comes back.

01:41:35.720 Now, you can't give everybody the freedom that they think they have now.

01:41:41.120 Like, I have the right to go in and and loot stores.

01:41:46.000 No, no, that won't stop until you start enforcing the local laws and the laws of the Constitution.

01:41:55.180 Once you do that, we fix ourselves.

01:41:58.580 People are overthinking all of this stuff.

01:42:01.920 I mean, you're going to need a very, very unpopular president or a president during a war.

01:42:10.440 That's why everybody wants a war so much that is able to do things under a War Powers Act, which is terrifying to me.

01:42:17.500 I would much rather have a president come in and just say, I'm a one term president, but I am going to put everything on the table and I'm going to get rid of.

01:42:29.520 This huge administrative state is gone.

01:42:34.080 I don't want it.

01:42:35.480 It's not constitutional.

01:42:37.860 Once you get past some of those things, it's amazing how you fix your town, you fix your state, you fix your country.

01:42:45.900 I don't understand why, especially conservatives, are talking about Francisco Franco.

01:42:55.100 He was an evil dictator that didn't do some bad.

01:42:59.400 He committed atrocities and every dictator commits atrocities because they force people into compliance.

01:43:10.260 That is not America.

01:43:13.920 Glenn Beck.

01:43:15.900 I feel for you at the end of the month, 15th of the month, you are struggling to make ends meet.

01:43:28.300 You are trying to get your finances in order.

01:43:30.940 You're worried about what's going to happen in the future if the economy goes down the tubes.

01:43:35.240 I get it.

01:43:36.500 It's a really scary time right now for a lot of people.

01:43:40.320 And trying to play catch up with the debts, especially if they're on credit cards.

01:43:45.080 Oh, my gosh.

01:43:45.660 Staying ahead of that is really difficult.

01:43:48.700 Give yourself a breath.

01:43:51.360 Just breathe for a second.

01:43:53.520 If you're in a situation to where you might lose your house, you might lose everything.

01:44:29.340 American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

01:44:36.140 It's a head-to-head match.

01:44:54.680 I mean, it is going to come in by a nose, I predict.

01:44:58.440 This race for the GOP nomination is just thrilling, exciting, and nail-biting all the way to the end.

01:45:09.320 We have our first contest to see when they all step into the ring which one is going to come out as a victor.

01:45:16.800 And my man for color here, which is really kind of racist, is Steve Breguier, otherwise known as Stu.

01:45:24.520 And Stu, what are you looking at, at this big match-out on the mat in Iowa?

01:45:32.040 It is amazing.

01:45:33.020 We're seven days away, one week from Iowa.

01:45:35.640 And it doesn't feel that way, does it?

01:45:38.260 No, no.

01:45:39.260 I mean, I think there's the sort of belief that we are in a primary that doesn't really exist, right?

01:45:46.740 Like that Trump is running away with it, and in a few weeks we will all know that.

01:45:51.780 It's as exciting as the Biden primary that has nothing to do with the voters.

01:45:58.860 The same thing with the Trump thing.

01:46:00.860 I mean, you've got to go out and vote, but it seems like it's just going to happen.

01:46:05.700 And then the nail-biter is, is he going to end up in prison?

01:46:12.160 Right.

01:46:12.760 I think that's where people see the real contest taking shape.

01:46:15.840 But I think that's partially why it does matter what happens in these early states, because the second-place primary is important when you have one of the two major parties trying to throw the other guy in prison, right?

01:46:28.480 Like, it becomes...

01:46:29.340 Well, we haven't, we haven't really had that kind of El Salvadorian kind of feel to our presidential elections, but...

01:46:36.320 That's true.

01:46:37.120 We haven't, it's been, we haven't really done much of that.

01:46:40.520 So, I started a kind of a new morning update podcast called State of the Race, which is on the Stude's America feed, if you go there and wherever you get your podcast.

01:46:49.420 And we're going to go through all of this every day, because I think, you know, in a few weeks we might find out that Trump runs away with this, and there's nothing to worry about about going to prison or being thrown off ballots, and that stuff all clears itself out.

01:47:00.560 We don't have to worry about this, which would be great, you know, I mean, if you don't have to worry about democracy crumbling in front of your eyes, that would be a positive.

01:47:07.900 It'll be surprising, but it would be great.

01:47:11.080 Yeah, and you have a situation where, look, DeSantis is, do you think it's a, would you say it's a must-win Iowa for DeSantis, or do you think he can show a strong second and, you know, stay, stay together enough to keep the race going?

01:47:26.140 I don't know, I mean, I mean, I would say, yeah, because he's, it doesn't look like he's going to win in New Hampshire, does it?

01:47:35.420 No, he's currently in fourth in the polling in New Hampshire.

01:47:38.480 Yeah, and he's probably not going to win in South Carolina, so, yeah, I would say he's got to win one of them.

01:47:47.740 Yeah, now, if he wins Iowa, right, that's where you depend on the bump to change some of these secondary states.

01:47:54.380 But if, you know, if, and we just really, it's interesting because we all complain about the polls.

01:47:59.800 Everybody, you know, the polls are annoying, and they don't always tell us the truth, and we know that, we know that situation.

01:48:04.820 However, in a world where we have a lack of polling, which is this one, we have nothing, really, right now, from these states that's updated.

01:48:12.660 We have the situation with the RealClearPolitics average, which is what people throw out all the time, and RealClearPolitics does a good job.

01:48:19.940 Averaging polls is a good idea rather than taking one individual poll.

01:48:23.380 That's all true.

01:48:24.740 However, the most recent result from Iowa in the RealClearPolitics average is December 18th.

01:48:31.640 That's when it ended.

01:48:32.540 So you have a poll that's over three weeks old.

01:48:35.460 As Iowa gets close, we don't know.

01:48:38.780 Like, is it possible that DeSantis has made a move?

01:48:41.740 Is it possible Haley's made a move?

01:48:43.260 Is it possible Haley now is in second place in Iowa and DeSantis is in third?

01:48:47.560 You know, it's hard to know.

01:48:48.660 We don't have anything updated at this point.

01:48:51.100 So in this world where we don't know, even the basics, it seems like, it would be, it's one of those situations you have to watch these other indicators.

01:49:00.140 You're seeing Nikki Haley's upping the spending all over these early states. 1.00

01:49:05.000 She's got the cash, Glenn.

01:49:06.760 I mean, she really is funneling. 0.98

01:49:08.300 Of course, she's taking it from Democrats.

01:49:10.080 Yeah, yeah, that's true.

01:49:11.580 I mean, it really is happening where she's taking a ton of money and dumping it into these races, now really leading the spending in a place like Iowa, which has not been the case for most of the campaign. 0.63

01:49:22.380 And DeSantis, like, again, we've talked about DeSantis a lot.

01:49:25.340 We really like Ron DeSantis.

01:49:27.440 I think he'd be a really good president if he were to win.

01:49:29.760 That being said, you know, this is his time he needs to make the move.

01:49:34.700 And three weeks in Iowa is a lifetime, right?

01:49:37.080 I mean, it's a lot of time to see where this movement is happening.

01:49:40.360 And we haven't seen any updated polling.

01:49:42.500 I assume we're going to get one more Des Moines Register poll here before the election actually happens.

01:49:47.360 And that's kind of the big pollster in the state.

01:49:49.440 We will see if we get that.

01:49:51.560 But right now, it's been shocking.

01:49:53.580 I mean, we keep getting these national polls.

01:49:55.500 Hey, here's where the race stands nationally, which means nothing.

01:50:00.140 Nothing.

01:50:00.440 These things.

01:50:01.020 These aren't even elections that happen on the same day.

01:50:03.660 The caucuses and primaries happen weeks apart from each other.

01:50:07.180 A national poll gives you nothing but a general sense.

01:50:09.900 Give me the polls that you have from Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

01:50:15.580 Anything you have and then tell me the date they were last taken.

01:50:19.320 Okay.

01:50:19.580 Yeah.

01:50:19.840 I mean, you go to the polling has been less interesting in Iowa, where the race has seemed

01:50:28.080 pretty stagnant for a while.

01:50:31.240 Again, these are going back a few weeks here.

01:50:34.720 But if you look at the polls for Iowa, you have a situation where you're about 51% to Donald

01:50:43.800 Trump on average.

01:50:46.300 Ron DeSantis is about 19%.

01:50:48.560 Nikki Haley is about 16%.

01:50:50.920 And after that, you have, you know, Ramaswamy about six.

01:50:54.160 You have Christie about three.

01:50:56.220 Asa Hutchinson, who's still in the race.

01:50:58.440 People don't seem to be interested in his candidacy.

01:51:02.480 Right.

01:51:02.840 But he's interested in it and that's kind of...

01:51:06.060 And that's what counts.

01:51:06.740 That's really what counts.

01:51:07.420 Good for you, Asa.

01:51:08.540 But yeah, he is at zero.

01:51:13.860 He's legitimately at zero.

01:51:17.020 Now, those, again, are the averages of the race.

01:51:19.780 If you look at where those polls have been taking place, a couple of them were mid-December.

01:51:23.900 Some of them are early December.

01:51:26.380 You know, more than a month old.

01:51:28.260 And while it would be an unprecedented thing for Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley to be able to unseat Trump in Iowa in this short of a window, we have seen massive surprises before.

01:51:43.060 I mean, Howard Dean was up by, you know, 20 and 30 points.

01:51:47.180 Rick Santorum was way, way back in this race.

01:51:50.740 You know, Ted Cruz, even going into the polling, going into election or caucus day in Iowa, still showed that Cruz was not going to win in 2016.

01:51:59.920 And then he wound up winning, you know, Barack Obama, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards were all really tight in the Iowa caucuses leading up to that day.

01:52:10.980 So there are surprises and they happen pretty frequently in Iowa late in elections.

01:52:16.000 This is just a different situation, right?

01:52:17.700 You have a president running who's an incumbent, basically.

01:52:20.820 A guy who is running as the standard bearer for the party and has been for eight years, this is different than a Howard Dean who is kind of coming out of nowhere, right?

01:52:31.100 So that needs to be acknowledged.

01:52:33.280 This, the only way that Iowa becomes a surprise on the GOP is if people were saying they were going to vote for Donald Trump because they didn't want any backlash from the right.

01:52:45.940 But they actually go in behind closed doors and they vote for somebody else.

01:52:50.440 I don't see that happening, but that's the only, that's the only thing I could imagine.

01:52:56.400 If you were to say, how does Ron DeSantis have a success in Iowa where you would say, let's just say he wins or loses by two points, right?

01:53:06.600 A very, very close race that comes down to the, to the wire.

01:53:12.000 That I think would be seen as a real over-perform for where our expectations for DeSantis and that might propel him forward.

01:53:18.760 How close does he need to be?

01:53:20.440 If he's down now by, on the average of, you know, 30 some odd points, if he's in single digits, is that enough to make a big statement for DeSantis and maybe propel the campaign forward?

01:53:33.100 Or does he need to get closer than that?

01:53:34.680 Well, if he's the big winner of the night and he's, you know, eight points behind, that is huge.

01:53:43.000 That would change the dynamics, I think.

01:53:45.900 Be better if he were closer or actually won.

01:53:49.340 If he actually wins, that will be a big thing.

01:53:53.020 That would be huge, right?

01:53:54.220 That would change the, I think, the direction of the campaign.

01:53:58.100 Yeah, I agree.

01:53:58.900 And, you know, and New Hampshire's interesting as well.

01:54:01.600 Haley is closer in New Hampshire than DeSantis is in Iowa, if you believe the polls.

01:54:09.920 And again, they're not really updated.

01:54:12.140 One other interesting thing is one pollster has shown very close results between Haley and Trump in New Hampshire.

01:54:19.340 Now, this isn't shown everywhere, you know, most of the other polls are not nearly as positive, where you see, you know, at best, low double-digit leads for Trump.

01:54:32.620 If you're Haley and you're, you know, like one poll showed a 14-point lead for Trump over Haley, 44 to 30, which is closer than it's been for a while.

01:54:42.920 However, American Research Group, which isn't a terrible pollster or a great pollster, somewhere in the middle, has shown two polls in a row with Trump up only by four in New Hampshire over Nikki Haley.

01:54:56.860 The most recent one is December 27th through January 3rd.

01:55:01.000 So, the most recent poll we have in any early state, and that shows Trump at 37, Haley at 33, Christie at 10, DeSantis 5, Ramaswamy 4, Hutchinson actually showing up at 1%.

01:55:13.160 Congratulations to Ace on that one.

01:55:15.120 So, what is, Haley would have to win there. 1.00

01:55:19.880 Where is DeSantis again?

01:55:23.300 Only at 5%.

01:55:24.380 So, even a win in Iowa, it's difficult to see how DeSantis could make a big impact in a state like New Hampshire.

01:55:33.300 Now, maybe...

01:55:34.440 Why is he performing so poorly in New Hampshire?

01:55:38.220 I don't know.

01:55:38.780 I mean, he's...

01:55:39.340 Look, New Hampshire's a moderate state.

01:55:40.880 Maybe isn't as in love with the conservative credentials of a Ron DeSantis.

01:55:44.480 That's not entirely surprising, I suppose.

01:55:48.940 However, you know, you feel like if New Hampshire's taking the Haley route as the non-Trump option, where Christie is still in the race as well, doing, you know, okay, I guess, double digits in this poll.

01:56:02.460 You wonder if Iowa is going to be very competitive, does that translate into support for DeSantis in South Carolina?

01:56:09.220 I mean, I think he's basically skipping completely New Hampshire in his mind.

01:56:13.540 His path to victory doesn't matter what happens to him in New Hampshire.

01:56:18.420 He's going to go right to South Carolina and hope a bump from Iowa translates there. 0.59

01:56:22.340 We have a more conservative voting base, but a pretty pro-Trump voting base and a voting base who has Nikki Haley as their former governor.

01:56:32.340 So, it's a very complicated path forward for DeSantis, even with a good showing in Iowa.

01:56:38.420 Not impossible, but really a tough hurdle to clear.

01:56:41.360 With a great track record, which DeSantis has, and a great conservative message, which he has, he hasn't been able to convince the American people yet that he's better than Trump.

01:56:55.300 Why is he better than Trump?

01:56:57.640 That's what he had to do on the road, and I'm not sure that he has ever hit that to America's, or at least conservatives, satisfaction.

01:57:06.840 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:57:10.240 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:57:12.340 If you are looking for a house, whether it's across the country or across the street, the people that should sell your house are the people that live in the area, know the area, have been doing it for years and years and years, and know what the best practices are.

01:57:29.160 Know how to negotiate.

01:57:30.660 Know how to walk into a house and go, this is really not the one for you.

01:57:34.480 No, but it looks great.

01:57:35.420 Yeah, you know, that kind of, and has to be somebody who is, it can listen and relate to you.

01:57:44.760 If you're a person that has, you get greatly offended by master bedroom, none of the real estate agents are going to probably call it a master bedroom because you can't now, according to, I don't know, the gods of the real estate industry.

01:58:00.960 But they're not going to freak out if you say master bedroom.

01:58:04.740 They're like, I'm taking around these bigots to look at houses, and they called it a master bedroom.

01:58:09.580 Shut up. 0.95

01:58:30.960 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:58:46.960 888-727-BECK is the phone number.

01:58:50.660 It's the Glenn Beck Program.

01:58:51.600 You know, we've been talking about where this goes in the last weeks as we get to the Republican fight for the nomination and a big Democratic battle between Joe Biden, Marianne Williamson, and Dean Phillips.

01:59:04.120 Who knows which way that will go?

01:59:06.180 Could go any direction.

01:59:08.100 I think, are you at the same place I am where it just feels like anything could happen?

01:59:13.040 Like, I feel like we could go anywhere from Donald Trump winning the election easily to Donald Trump is in prison, from Joe Biden somehow winning the election to Joe Biden not even being the candidate.

01:59:29.280 And someone else, like we discussed earlier, maybe Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama or who knows who could be the candidate.

01:59:38.320 I feel like it's changing on a day-to-day basis.

01:59:40.860 This is why we kind of started this new podcast, State of the Race.

01:59:44.620 It's on the Studos America feed if you, wherever you get your podcast, you can get it every morning, you know, with like a 10-minute or so update on just the things that are happening that you need to know about that the media is not going to tell you.

01:59:55.880 I'm trying to give you some perspective on that because you constantly get this information from the mainstream media and you know it's not true.

02:00:04.780 But why is it in true?

02:00:08.280 What is really going on behind the scenes?

02:00:10.640 What are these candidates thinking, you know, within their internal walls as far as where this campaign is going?

02:00:19.120 And, of course, telling us, you know, where we're going to go in the future with this stuff.

02:00:23.740 So this is going to happen on the Studos America feed.

02:00:25.860 It's called State of the Race. 0.81

02:00:27.020 The first episode is up there today if you want to go check that out.

02:00:29.180 But we also have some stuff coming up on the YouTube channel, Studos America, YouTube channel.

02:00:34.980 Today's a little bit of a new commercial from Chris Christie that I think you're going to enjoy.

02:00:42.620 So that's going to be actually posted here in just minutes at YouTube.com slash Studos America.

02:00:48.540 Something you, I think, will want to share with people who maybe aren't huge fans of Chris Christie.

02:00:53.360 I guess that's enough we could say there.

02:00:54.880 Coming in the next couple of weeks, I mean, this has been one of the strangest times I think I can ever remember.

02:01:00.280 We've been covering elections, Glenn and I, together since going back to the 2000 George W. Bush, Al Gore election.

02:01:06.920 You know, we're old.

02:01:07.880 And we go way back to those days just doing the show together and watching this all develop.

02:01:14.140 This is the strangest one we've ever covered because, you know, I think half the people are just uninterested in it because they feel like it's a foregone conclusion.

02:01:22.680 Some people are passionately interested and it's turning them completely insane.

02:01:29.320 We're going to try to go in between those two here over the next couple of weeks and just give you what actually matters.

02:01:35.980 So check it out on the Studos America feed and right here on the Glenn Beck program.

02:01:39.580 Glenn's back tomorrow and we will have more for you on not only the election, but everything else happening in the world, which at this point seems to be completely upside down.

02:01:48.720 We'll see you tomorrow.
