I want to talk to you a little bit about Patriot Mobile.
00:00:02.680
Sadly, our economy has become dominated by businesses who hate our guts.
00:00:08.120
The woke mob, which is becoming more mob-like and less woke.
00:00:14.100
These days, if you are a mobile service, if you have a mobile service, you're one of the big guys.
00:00:18.880
You are probably helping pay for things like Planned Parenthood.
00:00:25.820
They are not taking any of their money, the profits that they make.
00:00:32.040
They are all things that we believe in, like the Constitution, rule of law, parents are superior to teachers.
00:00:45.740
And you'll work with people who like you, want to serve you, and give you the best service possible and the best price possible.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:07.200
First of all, our thoughts, prayers, wishes, and our hands are available for those in the affected states of the tornadoes this weekend.
00:02:17.860
Meanwhile, there's a political tornado going on.
00:02:24.560
You know, when I was growing up, if looks could kill, my mother would have been a serial killer.
00:02:33.580
But it would have only happened with her kids, so she would have only killed three.
00:02:41.240
A mugger might think twice if he gets one of, you know, those looks from your mother.
00:02:45.160
But he's probably not going to, which is why mom needs a Burn a Launcher.
00:02:51.360
The non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will send potential threats running in the opposite direction.
00:03:07.440
Powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.
00:03:11.760
And one shot, an incapacitated attacker for up to 40 minutes.
00:03:16.540
Burn a, proud to be American, manufactured in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:03:25.800
It's a great Mother's Day gift for your wife, your daughter, your mom.
00:03:30.560
Anybody in your life that may not want firearms but wants protection, this is it.
00:03:44.640
And check out the latest news about Burn a at Burn a, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.
00:04:03.720
The constant protests, I guess, are the big story over the weekend.
00:04:11.840
Seems to be the only thing that Americans want to do these days is protest the right of Israel to exist.
00:04:23.660
We're, we're seeing university after university after university step up and decide that the hill they're going to die on is the hill that supports Hamas.
00:04:38.000
This is apparently in a popular position in this country and an incredible moment that we're in right now.
00:04:47.340
Let's, let's go to Sat 1 if we could on our list.
00:04:52.700
We're having a little bit of a technical issue here, but here we go.
00:04:55.780
This is a, we're having an Islamic prayer being held.
00:05:11.860
Now this is the quietest of the protests around the country.
00:05:24.260
Outside of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, there was more protesting going on.
00:05:46.220
Your entire family is going to be wiped off the f***ing registry!
00:05:50.680
So this is someone dressed as a Israeli soldier.
00:05:57.800
And there's a bunch of blindfolded shirtless people who get hit by blue powder and collapse.
00:06:07.280
No, it's, I think this is, this is, you know, the Israeli killing the white man.
00:06:14.240
Which is supposed to be the Palestinian, but they're white men, uh, most of them.
00:06:18.360
Uh, which I think just makes it, you know, even more confusing for anybody who is, who is watching.
00:06:24.060
Um, I, you know, I gotta go back to the Islamic prayer.
00:06:26.960
I, I mean, I don't know about you, but I miss it sometimes.
00:06:30.200
Could you play the, could you go back and play the Islamic prayer for me, please?
00:06:33.920
Uh, if you happen to be watching the blaze, I just want to describe, um, the Islamic prayer here.
00:06:40.080
It's, everybody's on a prayer rug there in, uh, at Columbia University.
00:06:54.180
And, uh, this guy is very, very popular in the Upper East Side.
00:07:00.160
Um, so you have people, you know, on a prayer rug.
00:07:04.420
You know, we had to go to the Supreme Court to get the, uh, coach to be able to pray, you know, by himself on the field after a football game.
00:07:13.000
And the nice thing is, they're including women in the, uh, call to prayer, which is very popular in the Middle East.
00:07:21.960
They love it when women get down and pray right alongside the men.
00:07:37.680
We have a free Palestine from the river to the sea.
00:07:44.900
Stu, could you just explain the geography of, uh, Israel?
00:07:50.100
I know there's the sea on the west coast of Israel.
00:07:55.600
What's on the east coast of Israel or the easternmost, you know, furthest east you could go?
00:08:03.200
Um, so what would be, yeah, what's interesting about this is that's how you know it's an aspirational call for unity, uh, from the river to the sea.
00:08:12.920
Um, so that, you know, Palestine will just take over everything from Israel and there'll be no Jews left.
00:08:24.100
That sounds very specific, that language, like that's what they're saying on college campuses.
00:08:36.520
The only thing you could be unified on is get rid of all the Jews because that means there's no Israel.
00:08:56.900
Well, but see, they, see, they make it clear they want everything and we don't want no, no, uh, one state.
00:09:05.240
So they've got double negative there, which means they want one, a two-state solution and, uh, and they say we want everything.
00:09:14.900
And that must include a one-state and a two-state solution.
00:09:19.960
Now, can we go on and play what they were saying in Canada?
00:09:26.900
We demand a free Palestine from the river to the sea.
00:09:32.180
And that we stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic and brave action on October 7th.
00:09:55.120
You know, uh, I love it when the Nazis are like, long live the Holocaust, you know, uh, hey, long live those cool, really cool showers and oven system that we came up with.
00:10:17.960
But the equivalent of what they're saying, uh, the equivalent of what they're saying on these college campuses, the ones that everybody in the media seems to be supporting long live freaking October 7th.
00:10:28.460
I mean, could you be any more, I don't know, Glenn, is this one still borderline?
00:10:41.600
Uh, it's, it's, well, it was October 7th was a very brave day.
00:10:50.340
I mean, how, I mean, do you think it takes courage to go molest, slaughter, and then burn babies?
00:11:01.020
You might get caught and then seen for the monster that you really are.
00:11:20.620
Uh, we're seeing, uh, the, uh, the video of this.
00:11:24.940
Um, but yet again, uh, uh, graffiti inside the hallways here.
00:11:31.240
Um, some, some words we maybe don't say on, on the radio to recap.
00:11:39.600
Uh, and, uh, yeah, this has been just, uh, people ruining the facilities and it's very messy
00:11:48.120
and there's graffiti everywhere inside the building.
00:11:52.380
This is what, this is another ask you to remember, kill all the Jews, kill all the Jews.
00:11:56.000
It remember, it helps you remember that now, um, beyond killing all the Jews, there's something
00:12:01.340
new that they're all for, uh, cut 38 plea, please.
00:12:08.340
Uh, the, uh, big Palestinian uprising in Germany this weekend.
00:12:26.720
It's in Arabic, but you know, whenever you get somebody in Germany going, no matter what
00:12:39.320
So they're not wanting to bring the Nazis back.
00:12:47.920
Now, can we go, if I could just get the drag Queens and the caliphate people, you know,
00:12:55.660
if I could just get them together, a one-stop shop, I think we would be a set.
00:13:02.040
Today, what we're going to do is we're going to show free Palestine.
00:13:08.240
If you're a drag queen and you know it, shout, free Palestine.
00:13:14.720
If you're a drag queen and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you're a drag
00:13:27.480
We can get the kids involved, too, because we have a drag queen.
00:13:30.940
And the drag queen, if you're a drag queen and you know it, shout, free Palestine.
00:13:36.600
So it's one place we can get both of those things, where we can all come together.
00:13:47.920
I think, now this is just me speculating, Glenn, because I'm not a travel agent.
00:13:56.080
But I do wonder how that particular event would go down if held in Gaza.
00:14:03.360
Because they are cheering on Palestine, so obviously there's some affinity there.
00:14:07.420
But the drag queen story hour group reading to a bunch of, let's say, Gazan children.
00:14:17.040
You know, it is funny that you should ask that, Stu.
00:14:19.460
You know, you may not be a travel agent or work for some sort of tourism board.
00:14:45.360
They made it illegal to be on the spectrum, the sexual spectrum at all.
00:14:57.480
Now, that's not all the time because, you know, there's a shortage of women over in the Middle East.
00:15:02.980
Sometimes they got to get a little of them going on with a younger man.
00:15:18.040
But so they've outlawed now homosexuality, which is weird because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
00:15:24.080
he said at one point, I think it was at Columbia University, when asked about them gays,
00:15:36.400
And lo and behold, they're going to make that wish to come true.
00:15:43.260
Also, by the way, they just killed their third.
00:15:51.680
She was, no, seriously, she was, no, she was, she was, well, she's dead.
00:16:15.960
She was wearing jeans and they were a little too tight.
00:16:19.060
You know, me personally, I don't, I don't mind, you know, some sort of law against jeans
00:16:27.840
I, you know, you walk around Walmart once in a while and you're like, whew, those really
00:16:33.300
But I don't want just, I don't want to see you executed.
00:16:35.780
But she was executed because they were a little too tight and too suggestive.
00:16:49.100
Well, she was reading her son a good night story, but she was still in those jeans laying
00:16:59.780
And hey, all you people on campus with your little rug prayer thing.
00:17:14.560
In fact, I am going to set up a, a personal fund.
00:17:19.720
If you're a drag queen, if you're a gay activist and you're out because you love it and you show
00:17:29.960
I'm going to, I'm going to go ahead and give you airfare from wherever you live here in the
00:17:38.800
And bring your pamphlets, bring your pamphlets, bring your best wigs and your spiky high heels
00:17:47.700
And when you stop writing us or calling us, we'll know exactly how much they love you over
00:17:56.700
So maybe we could send that as a message to all of your friends over here.
00:18:03.800
Just a quick public service announcement from the Glenn Beck program.
00:18:07.740
Now, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:18:18.540
I mean, you hit your head on the pillow and you were, you were out the whole night.
00:18:23.580
Good sleep, truly wasted on the young, I'm afraid.
00:18:27.260
Now you're older, you're wiser and a lot more tired.
00:18:33.220
And I'll bet it'd be nice to, you know, get a break from those sleepless nights.
00:18:39.720
Just like the regular Relief Factor that you take for pain, Relief Factor Sleep is 100%
00:18:45.480
So you get a good night's sleep that you really need without feeling like you got hit by a
00:18:51.300

00:18:55.440

00:19:03.540
The first bottle is $19.95, unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-RELIEF, 800-4-RELIEF
00:19:28.440
New Glenn, you were running through those wonderful stories from the Middle East.
00:19:31.140
And you mentioned Iran and Ahmadinejad and a bunch of stories that happened in Iraq.
00:19:38.920
And I don't know if people followed that exactly because it was Iran who had said there was no
00:19:45.100
And both of the stories banning homosexuality and the TikToker being executed both happened
00:19:50.220
And what I found fascinating about that is we should be able to tell the difference, right?
00:19:56.040
Like we were supposedly helping out this country so that it did not end up like Iran.
00:20:13.620
That might have had somebody who just mildly hates gays.
00:20:23.460
And so what we did is we empowered the head of the snake.
00:20:26.680
We made the snake even more powerful, which I love.
00:20:31.320
The head of the snake over in the Middle East is Iran.
00:20:35.160
And now you have Iranian Shias all over in Iraq.
00:20:39.820
And so they're getting, you know, they're doing the thing that Shias love.
00:20:43.320
And that is kill people that disagree with them.
00:20:46.840
Because that's, wow, that's almost like the left here in America.
00:20:54.300
They just like silencing people, throwing them in jail or killing them if they disagree
00:21:00.800
Wow, too bad we can't get them to agree on the same kind of people.
00:21:16.040
I think the left, when they get there, they'll be like, hi, everybody.
00:21:19.380
We brought birthday cakes and candles, and we're going to decorate this mosque all up.
00:21:30.820
These regimes that you're talking about over there, too, they're not the ones to fear.
00:21:38.580
Like, that's the guy, if you have to really be terrified about something coming down the road,
00:21:43.100
it's definitely not the Islamic extremist regimes we're discussing.
00:21:46.620
It's instead the tyranny of the real estate developer from Manhattan.
00:21:54.860
Yeah, you know, he wants, he's, I mean, he's a man of tyranny.
00:22:02.280
He was the first president to, you know, open a party openly and say, hey, I'm going to appoint
00:22:09.960
I'm going to have the first gay person speak on the podium.
00:22:12.940
I'm going to be the first president that actually runs and saying, I don't have a problem with
00:22:22.160
But the guy who wants to chop your pee pee off and throw you off a building, you know,
00:22:28.040
that happens to be coming across our border right now.
00:22:37.940
Sorry, I was just thinking of somebody chopping the pee pee.
00:22:50.840
He spent way too much of the company's money, a bunch of which he actually stole.
00:22:57.980
In fact, he ran the company in huge debt, ensuring that the stock was worth less and less every
00:23:03.380
day, and on top of that, he was a real jerk about it to all the other employees beneath
00:23:10.720
Well, if your answer is you would elect him to Congress or you'd elect him again to the
00:23:15.180
White House, you got a pretty idea, pretty good idea of how things are run in our country.
00:23:19.380
You need to protect your money from clowns like this.
00:23:24.020
I mean, they are practically the caliphate for money.
00:23:29.280
I bought my first gold with Lear Capital when Rush Limbaugh was on, and I was not on the
00:23:36.660
And since then, my investment has more than quadrupled.
00:23:43.820
I want you to do your own homework, but they can help you save your savings.
00:23:57.280
I don't know about you, but when I hear Allah Akbar, I think God is great, and that's
00:24:18.060
why he'll destroy that other imposter that's saying, kill people.
00:24:28.860
Pat Gray joins us, fresh off a student protest.
00:24:54.040
Which had to be taken out of the way, and then raise the Palestinian flag.
00:25:02.560
Well, all those colors, and it was the rainbow, but then they've changed it into like 943 colors
00:25:12.760
Which is interesting, because in the Gaza Strip, you know, those people would be killed, and
00:25:19.420
so it's great that they support the Palestinian cause anyway.
00:25:30.880
So, you know, I was looking at the trend here on the summers, and there's something here
00:25:40.060
I mean, in 2017 in the summer, you know, we still had the Women's March going on.
00:25:50.600
Then the March for Our Lives, which was against guns in 2018.
00:25:56.800
2019 became very busy because you had Greta, you know, very upset about, how dare you, and
00:26:05.380
And so she got a bunch of people to block traffic and throw soup at really expensive
00:26:11.140
paintings, which I think, you know, it really turned me.
00:26:15.600
I was like, I don't know if I trust this, you know, little puny pipsqueak.
00:26:20.180
And then she was like, you know, we've got to destroy paintings.
00:26:27.240
Then the, oh, by the way, that year also we had, we set Portland on fire.
00:26:40.980
Then in 2020, we had the COVID protests, which couldn't be done because of COVID.
00:26:49.880
But if you happen to want to march with BLM and loot some stores, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:04.900
Strangely, after Joe Biden is elected, it kind of, you know, the mask and the vaccines and
00:27:13.760
You know, if you're for, if you're, if you're not willing to send all of your money, all
00:27:21.560
Then 23 last summer was kind of a yawn fest, which I think it was kind of like, hey, let's
00:27:27.000
just take a break because we got a big, big summer coming up.
00:27:31.800
And if our guy loses, we're going to have to just keep upping the ante every, uh, every
00:27:41.520
Next summer, I'm not sure, but I think it's the summer of, uh, Satan is neat, uh, marches,
00:27:49.100
which will, which will display the rainbow flag, but it won't look exactly the same.
00:27:54.140
Um, it's exactly the same, except it's all black and like the caliphate flag, you know,
00:28:03.260
So, you know, all the diverse colors, even the white stuff just fades right directly to,
00:28:18.540
I was thinking of the, uh, um, the t-shirt we made a while ago.
00:28:27.400
And I feel like it really applies more relevant than ever.
00:28:30.980
Doesn't it kind of feel you saying that you're big fat dummies.
00:28:35.060
Kind of, kind of saying that dummies learn then protest.com by the way, if you want to get
00:28:39.700
the shirt, because it's something you could wear to the protests.
00:28:42.000
Cause I don't think they know what the order is.
00:28:44.480
I think they don't, they're at least doing one of the things they're protesting.
00:28:48.080
There's no evidence that they're learning, but they should know that the steps are clear.
00:28:51.900
You need to learn about the topic you're protesting and then you go to the protest.
00:28:57.460
Well, you saw, they have the, they have the receipts on learning.
00:29:06.880
You saw the girls interviewed last week, right?
00:29:10.480
At some of those protests where they're asked, why, why are you here?
00:29:14.500
What, what about the Palestinian situation has, you know, motivated you to get out and, and
00:29:22.940
And none of them knew, not one of them understood why they were there.
00:29:30.400
In fact, they said, yeah, I'm not that educated on it.
00:29:33.600
Then why are you standing there with a placard?
00:29:50.240
It would, I think it would solve a lot of these problems.
00:29:52.740
And, you know, and again, you guys were, I know, won over by the soup on the paintings.
00:30:01.620
I want to be in, on a road, on the way to the airport, and I want to miss that flight.
00:30:07.380
And then I think, wow, the Gauzens are the good guys in this.
00:30:12.100
Yeah, because there was people laying in the roadway.
00:30:20.000
I've talked about this for decades because of the protests in Houston that dumped garbage
00:30:27.180
Man, that won me over to the janitors downtown and their plight.
00:30:30.640
I wanted them to make $1,000 an hour after they dumped garbage in my way.
00:30:37.520
So it's weird because I didn't see all those protesters.
00:30:40.580
I just noticed, I was near campus this weekend, I just noticed how many speed bumps they put
00:30:59.240
Anyway, Marianne Alwan, she figured the worst was over when the New York City police, in
00:31:05.640
riot gear, mind you, arrested her on the Columbia University campus and then loaded her and
00:31:11.480
others onto the bus and held them in custody for hours, hours.
00:31:16.500
But the next evening, yeah, she thought it was over, but it wasn't.
00:31:20.360
The next evening, she received a curt email from the university.
00:31:26.980
Um, is she and other students, it said, were being suspended for their arrests at the Gaza
00:31:35.720
Uh, and this is a tactic that a lot of colleges are using now.
00:31:39.640
You know, they're just saying, hey, we want you out of here.
00:31:43.640
And, uh, so now the students rights to protest, uh, for these things.
00:31:49.120
And, and there's faculty that are standing with the protesters and they're like, hey, they,
00:31:58.580
Uh, and the terms of the suspension, uh, vary from campus to campus at Columbia, uh, and
00:32:07.740
Um, Alwan and dozens more were arrested on April 18th, barred from campus and classes,
00:32:15.360
unable to attend in person or virtually and banned from the dining halls.
00:32:22.440
There's, I mean, it's practically a food desert there in Manhattan.
00:32:33.720
Columbia says the outcomes will be decided at disciplinary hearings.
00:32:37.580
And, uh, she and her attorney said, this is very dystopian.
00:32:43.400
I mean, all we were calling for was chanting was death to the Jews.
00:32:46.800
And now we can't, now they suddenly don't want us on campus.
00:32:55.480
You would think we would tolerate death to Jews chance.
00:33:00.440
At a, at a, at a major American university, you would, in fact, you'd welcome it, right?
00:33:07.340
Cause when we said, when we said never again, we didn't mean never again.
00:33:18.160
Uh, an attorney for the Palestinian legal fund, which is, uh, gosh, I'd love to know who
00:33:25.440
set this all up for them, uh, but they're, they're helping, uh, groups all over college
00:33:30.460
And, uh, they filed a, a, uh, civil, a civil suit, uh, a civil rights case, uh, against
00:33:39.020
the school, um, accusing Columbia of not doing enough to really address the discrimination
00:33:50.700
And the level of punishment, according to the attorney is not even just draconian.
00:33:56.500
It's like over the, I love attorneys that say it's like, it's like over the top callousness.
00:34:05.400
Cause it seems like draconian is worse than that.
00:34:34.220
And, and if, if, and the only real Dracula is count Chocula, which he produces incredibly
00:34:54.080
Palestinian legal filed the complaint Thursday at the U.S. Department of Education's office
00:35:01.500
Uh, the four pro-Palestinian students and the student group of Columbia students for
00:35:08.960
Uh, the group calls for an investigation into the university's handling of alleged discrimination
00:35:13.460
and harassment against pro-Palestinian students by Columbia students.
00:35:18.860
Um, as a Palestinian student, I've been harassed, doxxed, shouted down, and discriminated against
00:35:25.660
by my fellow students and professors simply because of my identity and my commitment to
00:35:34.480
And, of course, taking over the campus illegally and pitching a tent there and then just causing
00:35:41.580
mayhem on, on campus and, and chanting death to the Jews.
00:35:45.880
But other than that, they're just wanting their own civil rights.
00:35:51.980
Can we hit on this, uh, doxxing thing that they keep complaining about?
00:35:55.460
Like this big complaint that all these protests are upset because people are coming, they're
00:36:01.200
Uh, and the doxxing they're talking about is potentially leaking the fact that they were
00:36:06.260
at these protests where, you know, the Jews were being threatened that might be leaked
00:36:14.340
This, by the way, coming from this same group of people, uh, that after the Charlottesville
00:36:20.200
rally went through every frame of video to try to identify every person who was there.
00:36:26.360
And I will remind you, uh, the story of Cole White, Cole White, a guy who went to the Charlottesville
00:36:33.780
protests and then was tracked across the country and eventually pressured his employer to, for
00:36:47.200
They got a man fired from a hot dog stand because he went to, I don't know if the hot dogs were
00:36:53.880
racist or not, I'm not a hundred percent sure on that, but now these people who are going
00:36:57.760
to go get jobs as lawyers and, uh, doctors and all these other things, they're worried
00:37:04.640
about them not being able to get in the employment after they freaking got a guy fired from a hot
00:37:12.260
I mean, you know, it is a double whammy with him.
00:37:18.140
He not only was a Nazi, but his last name also was white and you know, that's always a problem.
00:37:27.960
I trust.com seems like just about everybody is an expert these days.
00:37:34.620
I got it from the school of NUX, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:38.100
I was working at the hot dog stand and these people came after me and now, uh, you know,
00:37:46.440
I'd not get, I'd not, I just get that, you know, I got my experience in hot dogs and your
00:37:52.120

00:37:56.700

Stu, I just, just a hefty hello to you today, because I know it's, you know, it's a big occasion
00:41:20.940
I think that's a, I think that's a very special.
00:41:23.620
I've been trying to cure myself of that habit, but it still keeps going on.
00:41:28.660
Oh, so it's like, kind of like our anniversary show, you know, once in a while you show up
00:41:35.840
I, if there was cake here, I'd show up more often.
00:41:41.240
Well, maybe there is, you just don't get in in time because I have the same affinity
00:41:47.320
Coming up, we're going to talk a little bit about the Supreme Court and also Donald
00:41:51.400
Trump's, Donald Trump's court case with Andy McCarthy.
00:42:01.320
When you get into the net, the nitty gritty of all this, and it's so freaking complicated.
00:42:08.380
All the things they're coming after him with, but it does seem, and this is maybe a question
00:42:12.320
we get an answer to from Andy, but it does seem that like, this is it.
00:42:16.840
It's this one New York thing and everything else is going to fall after the election, which
00:42:24.940
It's, yeah, if this thing comes down, that, I mean, that would be, it would be amazing
00:42:31.060
for this to be all over because they overreached and the Supreme Court coming out and hopefully
00:42:39.840
not doing any damage to, you know, the, the, the, the presidents that come after this
00:42:56.200
This is when a scammer, uh, fakes your signature on a document and then they transfer, uh, the
00:43:03.180
home that you live in, that you own over to them.
00:43:06.300
And then they're borrowing against your equity.
00:43:07.680
And, you know, like this is a major problem and there's $16 trillion of available home equity
00:43:15.340
And, you know, of course our home values go up and people get more equity and they think
00:43:19.760
they're safe, but actually they're the biggest target of this, uh, because
00:43:23.260
if you have a lot of equity, this is, this is where all the money is.
00:43:27.480
Like they're going after the giant pots of money.
00:43:32.040
Uh, you need triple lock protection from home title lock.
00:43:35.680
And if you've ever been a victim of fraud, US based experts can help you sort everything
00:43:39.800
The first step is to check on your home's title to see if it's in your name, uh, go
00:43:46.980
They're going to send you a full title scan and see if you're already a victim.

If you use the promo code blaze and you'll get 30 risk-free days of their triple lock
00:44:28.780
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:44:50.100
There's a couple of things going on that, uh, involve president Trump.
00:44:54.340
Of course, one is his trial with Alvin Bragg in, uh, in New York city.
00:45:01.900
And then the latest update on the, on the immunity trial in front of the Supreme court.
00:45:07.960
This one, uh, could rock the world both in a good way and a bad way, depending on which
00:45:15.800
We're going to talk to one of the real experts who understands all of this and what it all
00:45:24.120
First, whether you live in America's heartland, you know, one of the massive cities or out
00:45:29.620

00:46:39.840
Annie McCarthy, a national review, contributing editor, the Institute's senior fellow and a
00:46:50.040
He was a former U S attorney in the, uh, in the district of Manhattan.
00:47:01.300
Uh, so let's, let's start with the big story I think, and that is the Supreme court and what
00:47:09.860
Can you give me, uh, your honest take on what, what this is really about for the future beyond
00:47:17.720
Donald Trump and how you think this is going to affect what is happening with Donald Trump.
00:47:25.340
Glenn, I think it's important that you frame the question that way, because it seemed to
00:47:30.620
me, uh, and I, I reread the transcript over the weekend after listening to the oral argument,
00:47:36.940
the court is a lot more concerned about the presidency than about Trump.
00:47:45.560
And, and it's, it's a important point to make because a lot of the coverage has been this
00:47:52.200
hysteria over whether, you know, the Trump packed Supreme court is in the tank forum and
00:47:58.920
they're going to get rid of, uh, Jack Smith's prosecution.
00:48:04.780
It's possible that Smith won't get his case to trial depending on what the court does.
00:48:10.340
What I think the court's going to do is send the case back to judge Chutkin, who was the
00:48:16.660
trial judge in Washington with instructions to sort out what things in the indictment against
00:48:22.720
Trump are what you would call official acts that might arguably be immune from prosecution
00:48:29.400
because they go to the core responsibilities of the presidency and what are, uh, private
00:48:35.900
acts or private wrongs that he would not have immunity for, even though they happened during
00:48:44.140
But the, the upshot of the questioning of the lawyers, including Trump's lawyer, and this
00:48:51.180
is particularly by justice Barrett, justice Kagan.
00:48:53.740
Um, Trump's lawyer admitted that there's a lot of conduct charged in the indictment that
00:49:00.820
is private conduct that really wouldn't be covered by an immunity claim, even though Trump's been
00:49:07.600
saying a lot of stuff about absolute, complete immunity.
00:49:11.400
And I think the concessions he made in the argument that is John Sauer, Trump's lawyer, would
00:49:18.040
be enough if Smith was willing to tailor his indictment down to the things that Sauer conceded,
00:49:24.380
they could go ahead with a trial on just those acts that he'd lose a lot of evidence, but
00:49:31.920
So what are some of the acts that could fall under, you know, uh, private?
00:49:39.560
And so you could prosecute and, and what are the acts that are the president and you don't
00:49:49.760
So the, the, the one bright line we can take away from this is that there, there seems to
00:49:56.340
be a consensus that there is a, a divide between office seeking and the carrying out of the duties
00:50:07.900
So if something is purely in the nature of trying to get reelected, that's deemed to be
00:50:15.180
private because it's not part of the duties of the presidency, but it would be the same
00:50:19.340
for anyone who was seeking office, whether that person was an incumbent or not.
00:50:24.680
And then there are other things that are clearly, um, presidential.
00:50:29.220
So just to, to give some solid examples that came out of the, uh, argument, uh, Trump's lawyer
00:50:36.540
conceded that if Trump made a private scheme with private lawyers to get slates of electors,
00:50:47.860
um, designated for him and to supply documents to, uh, the Congress suggesting that they were
00:50:56.500
the authentic, uh, actual, uh, actual slate of electors designated by a state that would
00:51:03.780
Because it's, it's, it's, it's purely office seeking and he carried it out only with private
00:51:11.060
On the other hand, there's an allegation in the indictment that Trump tried to use the
00:51:17.940
to signal to states that there were serious concerns about fraud and considered both removing
00:51:25.760
the attorney general when he got pushback and considered sending a letter that they never
00:51:32.120
sent from the justice department to the state of Georgia to tell them that, uh, they needed
00:51:36.780
to, um, do more scrutiny over what happened in the popular election.
00:51:42.300
Trump argues very strongly, and I think the court will probably go along with this, that
00:51:46.700
that is the president's control over the justice department is, is purely a presidential act
00:51:54.340
that should have no part in a criminal prosecution.
00:51:57.500
So those are the kinds of things that the court is talking about sorting out.
00:52:01.160
But Andy didn't, when Trump sat another group of electors or tried to, that's what, that's
00:52:15.380
I don't remember all of the attorneys in the 2000 election.
00:52:28.840
They're not saying that Trump wouldn't have a defense at trial.
00:52:34.100
What we're talking about now is purely immunity.
00:52:38.300
That is, could he prevent the trial from happening in the first place?
00:52:42.060
If I think that there's significant defenses to the fraudulent electors claim, beginning
00:52:48.960
with the fact that the electors themselves didn't think they were fraudulent.
00:52:54.280
They thought that basically they were sitting in as the slate of electors in the event that
00:53:00.560
Trump prevailed either in the state courts or with the state legislature to throw out the
00:53:06.280
Then that would activate, but they weren't trying to fool anyone into, into saying that
00:53:10.800
they were the actual electors that had been certified by the states.
00:53:20.620
Well, I think it's, it's tough for him to get a fair trial in Washington.
00:53:24.720
Why isn't, why can't someone make the case here?
00:53:29.300
Why can't his people make the case that you can't get a fair trial with the jury pool in
00:53:36.720
I think Trump's problem is he's too famous in some ways.
00:53:43.320
I mean, the problem is that unlike almost any other defendant, he goes into, you know,
00:53:48.820
one of the things that they can always say about him is he's the most famous guy in the
00:53:53.800
And no matter where you had the case, you would have the same, uh, pre-trial publicity problems.
00:54:00.260
And they kind of reject out of hand the thought that because a jurisdiction votes substantially
00:54:07.100
against Trump as a political matter, that that means they can't be fair to him, uh, as a legal
00:54:12.940
Uh, you know, you can, you can debate that all you want about whether that's a sensible
00:54:18.800
distinction to draw or not, but it, but it is the distinction the courts draw.
00:54:23.920
So what do you think is coming down the pike on this?
00:54:31.960
I, I think that they will send the case back to judge Chuck and, uh, with instructions to
00:54:38.140
go through the indictment and figure out what's a, um, what's a public act and what's
00:54:44.480
If Smith wants to fight on that, um, then he's never going to get the trial prior to
00:54:50.340
election day, which of course is his big aim because this would still be a live immunity
00:54:57.540
And immunity is one of the few things that you can actually appeal pre-trial.
00:55:01.900
So I don't see how he would get to trial, but I do think Smith, if he wants to, and
00:55:06.620
if it's that important to him to get to trial, uh, quickly, uh, he could say, you know what,
00:55:12.360
I'm going to dispense with all of the acts that you say are immune, immunized official
00:55:19.220
And we'll just go on the trial, go to trial on the private stuff.
00:55:23.260
Um, it would be a weaker case for him, but it wouldn't be an unwinnable case.
00:55:31.280
Well, that's a, that's an interesting question because that may depend on another Supreme Court
00:55:36.280
case, this term, the one that they argued a week before on the obstruction statute.
00:55:44.920
Uh, that obstruction statute has a 20 year penalty.
00:55:48.560
Uh, and it's the two main counts in the indictment against Trump.
00:55:52.400
The other two counts only have, I think, five year penalties.
00:55:55.500
So if the Supreme Court says that it rejects the way the justice department has been using
00:56:01.680
the obstruction statute, which it might, um, then that would require probably a big overhaul
00:56:07.540
of Smith's case because those, those charges are very important to him.
00:56:12.340
But if the court upholds that statute, which it also might, uh, then you're looking at a
00:56:21.120
Now he won't get 40 years, but statutorily there would be availability of 40 years.
00:56:28.000
And I think 10 on the other two, the other two are fraud on the United States and the
00:56:34.680
Uh, so he'd be looking at, you know, statutorily 50 years imprisonment, which would, which would
00:56:39.620
indicate under the sentencing guidelines that he would get, I would think, you know, four
00:56:45.560
or five, six years of a sentence that he gets convicted on those charges.
00:56:51.800
You know, last week, the, uh, Biden administration was making the case.
00:56:56.320
Well, Donald Trump's the only one that's ever broken the law.
00:57:07.100
I think a lot of the criminal, the potentially prosecutable criminal conduct has come up, um,
00:57:19.320
Like for example, with Clinton, the pardon scandal happened as he was going out the door.
00:57:24.880
And I was in the justice department at the time.
00:57:27.180
There was a, you know, there was over a year of pretty intense debate within the justice
00:57:31.460
department about whether he ought to be charged with bribery or not in connection with those
00:57:37.240
But I think there's a, there's always been, maybe this has changed now, but there's always
00:57:42.620
been a current of like when a new administration comes in, particularly if it's a new administration
00:57:47.860
of a different party, they don't want to revisit what happened with the last guy.
00:57:56.560
You know, this old idea of, uh, you know, we're looking forward, we're not looking back.
00:58:00.300
And I think that that certainly had a lot to do with why the Bush justice department didn't
00:58:06.820
Um, and I think with Obama, there was a lot of rhetoric during the 2008 campaign about
00:58:15.780
But when they got into power, they not only weren't interested in prosecuting anyone on
00:58:21.780
I mean, they reopened the CIA investigation, but then they closed it, but they actually ended
00:58:27.600
up adopting a lot of Bush Cheney counterterrorism.
00:58:31.280
So, you know, I, I think there's a lot of, uh, rhetorical campaign stuff about how, you
00:58:38.220
know, lock her up and we're going to put these guys in jail.
00:58:43.060
I actually think Trump is serious about it this time because he sees what they've done
00:58:47.520
And that's why I thought it was amusing in the Supreme court argument for the, the government
00:58:52.740
lawyers to get up and say, you know, you don't have to worry about this.
00:58:59.260
And in the meantime, Trump is ahead in the polls and he's running as the retribution
00:59:03.980
He's promising if he gets in, he's going to do this, right?
00:59:07.600
So it's a, it's an amazing time to be alive, right?
00:59:16.480
First, I want to talk to you about rough greens.
00:59:18.120
Most dog lead, lead lives of quiet desperation.
00:59:20.900
Not only because, you know, some deep philosophical thoughts on mortality, you know, they have that
00:59:25.780
all the time also that I think they're just bored with, uh, kibble food.
00:59:29.680
Why shouldn't they be not only does it probably not taste, uh, all that great to you and me,
00:59:35.660
um, kibble food also is lacking in almost all of the nutrition that they really need.
00:59:45.160
This only requires, um, you just to sprinkle a little bit of rough greens on top of your dog's
00:59:54.440
And it's a supplement developed by naturopathic, Dr. Dennis Black.
00:59:58.240
You sprinkle it on the food and your dog gets all of the vitamins, uh, nutrients, minerals,
01:00:09.240
Are you FF greens.com slash back or call eight, three, three, Glenn 33.
01:00:13.740
You're going to get a first trial bag for free.
01:00:16.860
It's eight, three, three, Glenn 33, eight, three, three, G L E N N 33, rough greens.com
01:00:37.420
Um, Andy, tell me about how Alvin Bragg's doing so far.
01:00:46.800
Um, I think, uh, I wrote a column about this today called, uh, how judge Merchant is, uh,
01:00:56.440
And I was reminded of, uh, you know, the fact that Trump, when he was, uh, a young guy learned
01:01:06.520
And, you know, what Cohn used to say, his first principle of a hardball litigation was
01:01:15.060
And I think Trump knows that, uh, he knows it very well.
01:01:19.200
And I'm, as I'm closely watching the rulings that are being made and the arguments that
01:01:26.020
the judge is allowing to be made, it's clear that he has allowed Bragg, just, just so people
01:01:32.640
understand, Glenn, this case is indicted as a falsification of business records that occurred
01:01:40.400
in the months of February through December of 2017.
01:01:48.360
The case is being presented to the jury as a conspiracy from 2015 through 2017 to steal the
01:01:57.240
2016 election by violations of federal campaign finance law, which Alvin Bragg, as a state
01:02:08.060
And that's the way the case has been framed by, uh, the prosecutor based on orders from
01:02:14.780
Uh, and that is the way that they are proceeding and judge, judge, uh, March on is allowing the
01:02:24.360
state to prove that, uh, Michael Cohen pled guilty to two campaign finance offenses and
01:02:34.940
that David Pecker, the, uh, AMI guy who, you know, ran the national inquirer that they had
01:02:41.520
a non-prosecution agreement from the justice department and then paid a fine of $180,000
01:02:46.820
to the federal election commission for, uh, violating federal election law.
01:02:53.020
Now those, it's a black letter principle of law that one person, let's say person a, his
01:03:03.300
guilty plea is not admissible evidence against person B, even if a says that a and B acted
01:03:10.260
together, it's absolutely improper for these, um, for this evidence of what Michael Cohen
01:03:18.420
and David Pecker were thinking about the, uh, federal election laws, uh, the fact that
01:03:24.280
they made deals with the government, but none of that stuff should come in.
01:03:29.820
The judge is letting it in and he's not letting Trump explain to the jury that he, Trump was
01:03:36.580
not charged by the justice department or the FEC because, and the reason is obvious, they
01:03:41.600
didn't think that these were actually, um, uh, expenditures that were, uh, cognizable under
01:03:49.860
Uh, and he's also not letting Trump call an expert witness to explain campaign law to the
01:03:56.380
So what the jury's going to hear about campaign law is going to come from Michael Cohen and
01:04:06.940
If you can't call people and you can't let the, the, uh, jury know truly the other side
01:04:17.340
It's a look, it's even more fundamentally unfair than that, because in the United States
01:04:24.240
under the fifth amendment to the constitution, you are entitled.
01:04:29.000
If you're going to be charged with a felony, it's got to be on the basis of an indictment
01:04:34.220
returned by a grand jury that, that explicitly says what the charge is.
01:04:39.440
The indictment in this case talks about, you know, false bookkeeping in 2017.
01:04:44.440
The case that's being presented to the jury is a conspiracy to violate the federal election
01:04:51.040
Um, it's, it's mind boggling that it's being permitted.
01:04:59.480
This would definitely lose in, uh, a higher court.
01:05:06.680
I mean, Harvey Weinstein's conviction just got reversed last week.
01:05:17.560
Uh, more in just a second with the news of the day.
01:05:39.100
Uh, so stand by, um, we do not build the parallel economy because we're glad that it's necessary.
01:05:45.760
I'm sure you miss the good old days when you thought everybody was kind of on the same
01:05:50.360
I mean, we didn't, we didn't pal around on, you know, uh, election Tuesdays and, you know,
01:05:58.380
all vote the same, but we all thought we, you know, we all believed in America.
01:06:03.560
Companies now are swinging for the fences with leftist ideology, but not Patriot Mobile.
01:06:10.940
They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.
01:06:14.200
And they believe in the kind of America that you believe in.
01:06:17.740
Not that we've ever done it and done it perfectly.
01:06:20.860
We've got a long way to go and we've learned a lot, but we still believe in striving to be
01:06:27.640
They offer dependable nationwide coverage so you can access any of the three major networks
01:06:33.480
that everybody's on, but you don't have to worry that part of your bill is going to fund

01:06:57.640
Justin Heskins, a great friend of the program, great friend to Liberty and, uh, the coauthor
01:07:22.260
Uh, so you have been working with mercury one on something for a while now, and I'm really
01:07:34.420
This is something that I have been, uh, dreaming about for many years, uh, going back to when
01:07:40.680
we first started looking at the great reset and Davos and all of the things that the world
01:07:46.740
One of the things that we learned about was something called the young global leaders
01:07:51.660
This is a, a program that the world economic forum has had in place for three decades, where
01:07:57.020
they've created a pipeline of young leaders to go into the public policy field, into journalism,
01:08:03.780
into business, all embedded with the Davos ideology.
01:08:08.280
Uh, so these are the cream of the crop people in, in business government, et cetera, all over
01:08:13.900
the world, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, people in the Biden
01:08:18.800
administration, cabinet level people have all gone through this program.
01:08:22.480
And we don't have anything like this on the right.
01:08:25.420
We don't have any of the good guys doing something like this.
01:08:28.340
And so, um, I came up with this idea and pitched it to mercury one to create a program
01:08:33.660
that we're calling the freedom rising fellowship program, where we're going to train the best
01:08:39.300
and brightest young people age 21 to 35 to, uh, create this pipeline into journalism, into
01:08:47.500
business, into public policy, especially in think tanks and government so that people
01:08:53.620
are embedded with the values of the constitution and the declaration of independence, and that
01:08:58.200
those people are going to be the next generation of American leaders that are going to fight
01:09:04.060
Uh, and so that's the program that we're launching with mercury one, our very first session is
01:09:12.920
This is the first time we're speaking about this publicly.
01:09:21.620
Cause I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to work you like crazy.
01:09:24.220
If you want to be in this program, you're going to be working closely with me and my team.
01:09:28.620
Uh, and, um, we're going to teach you how to do everything from speak on radio and television
01:09:35.420
to writing op-eds for major print publications to informing lawmakers about new legislation.
01:09:41.940
And most importantly, to discover the, the, the new issues, the emerging issues that no
01:09:47.840
one has ever heard of, like the great reset and ESG and things like that, uh, so that you
01:09:55.440
So if you want to save the country, this is an opportunity to do that.
01:09:59.900
Um, if you're interested, you can go to justinhaskins.com, uh, later in the week, you'll be able to go
01:10:04.700
to mercury one.org and find more information about that.
01:10:08.520
And, uh, if you go to justinhaskins.com right now, you can see all the information about the
01:10:15.180
So Justin, um, I know you're going to be teaching, you know, how to speak on the radio and, uh,
01:10:20.640
and you're going to have journalism, uh, you know, experts there to teach journalism.
01:10:25.440
And I've, I've noticed that I'm just looking down on my calendar.
01:10:29.060
There's not a single thing on my calendar, uh, all summer long.
01:10:41.000
Um, are you, you know what, glad you, you're always invited.
01:10:48.160
Uh, let me ask you this, Justin, um, are we, uh, these, these new fellows, are they
01:10:54.220
going to have access to the entire library of mercury one and wall builders?
01:11:02.220
And not, not only are they going to have access to it, they're going to be working.
01:11:05.560
They're essentially going to be part of my team.
01:11:08.180
They're going to be working on a day to day basis on new and emerging issues on doing research,
01:11:14.820
on getting, uh, that research to public policymakers, on getting that information to the public.
01:11:25.000
I mean, that, and that's, that's, it's a huge commitment to take on, but if you're willing
01:11:29.300
to do it, uh, you're going to be part of something really special.
01:11:32.580
And then after the program is over, we're going to create this for this one four month
01:11:39.860
Uh, you're going to become part of a network of young people, just like the WEF.
01:11:44.680
Young Global Leaders program so that you can help each other going forward for the rest
01:11:50.700
So that's, that's really the vision that I have for building this out over the long run.
01:11:54.200
So it's like, uh, Yale skull and bones without the evil.
01:12:02.260
So, uh, so, um, what are you looking for in people 21 to 34 years old or 35 years old?
01:12:13.120
Uh, so the biggest thing is if you have a passion for public policy, uh, uh, you need
01:12:21.060
to be able to communicate, especially write and do research.
01:12:25.760
Um, but the, but the biggest thing is that passion for public policy.
01:12:30.140
You need to be interested in doing detailed investigation, uh, in pouring through boring
01:12:37.860
old documents to find something that's really important, uh, pouring through videos, video
01:12:43.580
footage and podcasts and, and all of that stuff, all the things that you and I and our research
01:12:48.600
team have been doing for years and years and years.
01:12:54.300
These, these things, uh, but if you have that passion for it, that's going to be the most
01:12:59.360
We can teach you a lot of the other skills, but we can't teach the passion.
01:13:03.420
So you got to want to be willing to devote yourself to this, uh, for the rest of your
01:13:08.820
So if, if this isn't something that you're interested in going into for your whole career and you
01:13:12.940
just think this might be an interesting thing to do for a summer or, you know, whatever,
01:13:16.360
uh, this is not going to be the program for you.
01:13:20.080
And we do have programs for, um, people like that, that just, they want to know the truth
01:13:25.580
about America or her history, but don't necessarily, you know, are not necessarily looking to make
01:13:32.040
their whole life about, um, you know, Washington or policies or something like that.
01:13:37.920
And we have a program that is separate at Mercury one from this, this is for a fellowship.
01:13:43.620
And I, can I tell you, I, I have, um, I have people in Washington all the time that ask for
01:13:51.860
briefings on the things that we do know here, um, at the show, and, uh, you will have access
01:14:02.780
You know, if you're the, if you are the hard workers, you're the ones that are, uh, discovering
01:14:08.220
and, and putting it all together and, and briefing, not only people like me, uh, but also people,
01:14:22.240
Uh, we're going to ask that people sign a confidentiality agreement with the Wednesday,
01:14:27.320
when they join the program, because you're going to see a lot of really important information.
01:14:32.140
You're going to see things that lawmakers are saying, you're going to have access to research
01:14:38.340
Uh, and so we're really inviting you in to the club.
01:14:44.420
I mean, I know we do vetting for our summer, uh, uh, program for college students.
01:14:49.900
And, and so far, I think we've only had one person that we were like, okay, you need to
01:14:55.140
Um, but how, how are you, what, like, what questions are you asking?
01:15:03.240
Yeah, I mean, there's going to be the, so the application itself is pretty simple and
01:15:08.140
straightforward, but after we've identified sort of the most promising candidates, we're
01:15:12.940
going to have long detailed conversations with you.
01:15:19.920
Uh, if, if you are, uh, if you share our values or if you don't share our values, um,
01:15:26.020
I don't think that that's going to be too much of a problem because, because of how
01:15:30.100
detailed those conversations are going to be multiple stages of interviews and things
01:15:34.860
Uh, because we really do want the most dedicated, the best, the brightest, and the most, and the
01:15:45.540
Again, um, you'll, you can go later, uh, to mercury one.org.
01:15:51.540
Uh, they were a little busy with the, uh, tornadoes today, which by the way, um, we have, we have
01:15:58.360
a goal of raising $50,000 just for the tornadoes today.
01:16:05.020
Uh, we've got people on the ground already, um, but we need some extra help because it's
01:16:11.560
Uh, so if you want to donate, go to mercury one.org and that's where you'll find the
01:16:15.520
information about this, uh, new fellowship, uh, for a new generation of leaders.
01:16:21.200
We want to, uh, really, um, up our game on this and be able to help train, um, the future
01:16:31.120
And so, uh, Justin and mercury one have put together freedom, rising fellowship, the freedom
01:16:37.620
rising fellowship program, and you can get all the information at justinhaskins, uh, dot
01:16:47.300
And you can also email fellowship at mercury one.org right now.
01:16:51.240
You can email that, uh, if you're interested in applying and we'll make sure you have everything
01:16:56.080
We'll need a, uh, a resume, um, two writing samples, brief statement, explaining why you're
01:17:05.400
Uh, and just, uh, go to fellowship at mercury one.org, send us everything and, uh, we'll be
01:17:15.020
We'll talk to you probably again, get some more detail later this week, if we can.
01:17:21.080
How are you feeling about ESG and all of the things that we've been working on?
01:17:37.620
I, I, uh, a couple of months ago made the mistake of sending you an email telling you
01:17:43.220
how excited I was about some things that were happening in Europe and you went on the air
01:17:48.820
and, you know, you bashed me and you said, well, you know, he's young, he's young.
01:18:00.560
And so it turns out that European ESG gigantic government run scheme that we've been talking
01:18:07.420
about for years that I thought was dead has come back from the dead.
01:18:11.080
And now apparently it is on the fast track to being passed.
01:18:16.660
Uh, and so it's got like one more tiny little hurdle to clear.
01:18:20.160
And that's going to be truly one of the, the biggest fights that we have going forward
01:18:26.140
So I really thought we were, the tide had turned in our favor and now I'm feeling a
01:18:31.980
Um, with that said in America, some really good things have happened over the past couple
01:18:41.840
That's now been signed into law by the governor there.
01:18:44.780
So, uh, that's the second toughest anti ESG law that we have in America, the toughest being
01:18:52.940
But this European ESG mandatory system is going to bring in all of these companies in
01:19:00.340
It's going to catch up a bunch of businesses, even that don't do business in Europe, but
01:19:04.520
do business with someone that does business in Europe, supply chain law.
01:19:08.320
And it is probably the most dangerous ESG social credit scoring system thing that we've
01:19:19.260
And if, if you don't have time, I can explain it, but I do.
01:19:22.320
Hang on just a second, because what happens in Europe on this is critical.
01:19:30.780
Even if we say, nope, we don't want anything to do with it.
01:19:35.220
First, let me tell you about, uh, pre-born mother's day is coming and I want to talk to
01:19:40.580
you about pre-born the organization that I don't know.
01:19:46.360
I think cares about moms more than most with your help.
01:19:50.860
Pre-born offers expecting moms free ultrasounds.
01:19:53.960
When a young mom is in distress and not sure what to do about her pregnancy, those ultrasounds
01:20:01.200
But she usually is surrounded by people who say, get rid of the baby.
01:20:05.400
Either you're too young or you don't have the money or, you know, whatever.
01:20:12.100
60% of them want to have the baby, but they feel very alone.
01:20:16.380
That's where pre-born comes in on top of the free ultrasound.
01:20:19.740
They offer love and care to the mom and they don't just abandon her the moment she gives
01:20:24.680
That's what the left always accuses of the right of, but that's not pre-born.
01:20:29.100
They go on to help that mother out for two years afterwards, showing her and her baby
01:20:38.660
This mother's day, why not help bring life to both a mom in need and her baby?
01:20:47.740
Every penny goes towards loving mothers and babies as well.
01:20:51.980
And when you become a monthly sponsor, you're going to receive pictures and stories of the
01:20:57.500
So get involved, just dial pound two 50, say the keyword baby.
01:21:01.260
That's pound two 50 keyword baby, or go to pre-born.com slash back pre-born.com slash back.
01:21:10.180
The following content identifies as a commercial.
01:21:27.500
So as Justin was saying, Justin Haskins from the Heartland Foundation is with us announcing
01:21:46.720
But we were talking about ESG, and ESG has been rumored to be going away over in Europe,
01:21:59.780
Their elections are coming through in, I think, June and July.
01:22:04.400
And those are major elections, and I think you're going to start seeing it rear its ugly head
01:22:10.120
But Justin just said that in Europe, they are passing, and these are draconian, this is ESG
01:22:20.160
And it has all kinds of ramifications for America and American workers.
01:22:33.920
So if you want to look this up, look for due diligence European Union.
01:22:37.540
And what you're going to find is a supply chain law.
01:22:40.700
That's how they're selling this, a human rights supply chain law.
01:22:43.760
But essentially what it is, is it's a way for the European Union to create a government-mandated
01:22:49.860
social credit scoring system, ESG system, and then to impose it on most of the rest of the
01:22:56.560
And the way they're going to do this is by creating these requirements that say, if you
01:23:01.300
want to do business in Europe, you have to adhere to our ESG system that we're going to
01:23:08.280
You have to adhere to it, full of all kinds of social justice provisions, climate change
01:23:12.740
alarmism, Paris Climate Agreement, all that stuff.
01:23:17.580
But not only do you have to adhere to it if you do business in Europe, so an American company
01:23:22.140
doing business in Europe would have to adhere to it.
01:23:24.000
But also, you have to make sure that many of the businesses in your supply chain, regardless
01:23:30.520
of where they're located, also have to adhere to it.
01:23:34.620
So Ford, for example, Ford does a lot of business in Europe.
01:23:38.640
They will have to adhere to the EU's ESG system.
01:23:42.220
But they'll also have to make sure that all the companies they do business with in America,
01:23:46.840
or the vast majority of them, also adhere to various parts of this ESG system.
01:23:52.240
So you could be some rubber plant in Youngstown, Ohio, and you're going to get caught up in
01:24:02.420
Justin Haskins, he is the co-author of my book, Dark Future and The Great Reset, and
01:24:09.300
is working closely now with us on a new fellowship.
01:24:16.460
I'm working with something with Jace Medical that I'm really excited, if we can make it
01:24:23.280
But I want to talk to you about your medication.
01:24:33.300
How do you, if you can't get it at CVS or Walgreens, what are you going to do?
01:24:40.180
Well, we live in a time where there could be breakdowns of the supply lines, and I would
01:24:45.620
suggest that you get Jace Medical on the phone, or just go to their website, jacemedical.com.

Joe Biden is fading fast on so many levels, but in the polls, he is just getting hammered.
01:26:37.640
He has the worst polls of any president since we've been taking polls in the last 70 years.
01:26:45.540
Now, the New York Times said, people are just becoming nostalgic.
01:26:49.080
They just kind of, you know, I like those good old J's when we had Donald Trump in and he stood for something.
01:26:56.680
Is it nostalgia or is it just that what he did worked?
01:26:59.920
And what Joe Biden did is not working in any way, shape or form.
01:27:05.080
We'll talk about that and talk with Selena Zito, who is a reporter who was really the one who captured the 2016 Donald Trump win and really spoke to it again in 2020.
01:27:22.740
She's she doesn't take polls or anything, but she she doesn't fly places.
01:27:28.660
And so she is in the rural communities and gets a real sense of what's happening in those communities.
01:27:37.240
We're going to talk to Selena about the election here and Donald Trump and especially what Joe Biden did by suing a hometown favorite gas station.
01:27:48.800
We'll talk to her about that coming up in just a second.
01:27:51.180
First, I want you to I want you to do something kind of radical here.

Wow. If it wasn't for the government protecting us on commercials like that, I just wouldn't know what to do.
01:29:17.780
Because after that disclaimer, I feel so much safer and better.
01:29:22.860
Selina Zito, welcome to the program. How are you?
01:29:28.820
Good. So you were out on the road with Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and things couldn't be more different for the two.
01:29:40.120
And the week that Donald Trump came in to, I think it was Chick-fil-A, he just said, Chick-fil-A on me for everybody.
01:29:52.380
Then a few days later, Joe Biden did something.
01:29:55.260
And take us through what he did, not only there at the restaurant, but the next day.
01:30:00.000
So Trump was actually in Atlanta when he went to Chick-fil-A.
01:30:05.800
However, the next day, he was in Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley.
01:30:11.180
Now, I just want to explain why Lehigh Valley is important.
01:30:19.880
And we've noticed how Hispanics have moved to become more conservative.
01:30:24.840
Anyways, to the point, there were 42,000 people there.
01:30:27.580
42,000, that's a lot of people in the Lehigh Valley for a Republican.
01:30:34.400
And it's in the middle of what I call the middle of somewhere, but where most people call the middle of nowhere.
01:30:40.960
And that is also important because there is an intuition, whether you like Trump or not,
01:30:46.320
there's been a very good intuition is to show up in places that people don't expect you to.
01:30:57.580
He went to very free, very specific, safe areas where he knows he's going to win the vote.
01:31:07.040
These are elected people and sort of party people that come to all of these events.
01:31:15.140
In Scranton, in Philadelphia, in Pittsburgh, it was union leaders.
01:31:20.100
Now, remember, that's very different than rank and file.
01:31:22.660
And so these events were very orchestrated, very minimally attended.
01:31:30.200
And what was really fascinating to me was that he had a message about something and Wall Street people.
01:31:47.860
Did nobody tell you that people are not upset about Wall Street people, but they really, really upset about inflation?
01:31:54.140
And then he goes to Pittsburgh and I saw the most extraordinary thing.
01:32:01.080
There were two sets of protesters outside, a robust level of protesters.
01:32:06.880
On one side were like independent and Republican voters saying, hey, hey, ho, ho, Bidenomics has to go.
01:32:15.180
They were singing at the same time with pro-Hamas people, not together, but they were using the chant at the same time, who were saying, hey, hey, ho, ho, genocide, Joe has got to go.
01:32:32.160
And so but but but but Biden made the safe bet.
01:32:35.720
He went to the places where he thinks he he needs to bring his base back.
01:32:42.900
Trump went to places where he needs to earn new voters.
01:32:47.800
And that's the difference between the two of them in Pennsylvania.
01:32:52.900
And I think in a state that's registration, Democratic registration has dropped dramatically from 2020, where it was 600,000 advantage over Republicans, Democrats to now 389,000 Republicans, Democrats, Democrats still have the advantage.
01:33:23.320
Well, I think what's important, Glenn, to pay attention to people are looking for this big moment.
01:33:30.020
In particular, politicians and strategists is a big moment that's going to change everything, I believe, as the way that it is going.
01:33:46.120
It's so heartbreaking watching that Weirton, West Virginia steel plant that has been around for 120 years.
01:34:03.020
And it was closed down because of a tear, because the Biden administration refused.
01:34:13.700
But anyways, it didn't give American steel an even playing field.
01:34:25.860
It is the pausing of the liquid natural gas, which doesn't just impact people in the industry or even people that are downstream of it, like barbershops and machine shops and hotels and so forth.
01:34:44.740
But farmers are profoundly impacted by the liquid natural gas being paused because they have leases on their land, oftentimes with natural gas facilities on their extractions, on their land.
01:35:05.140
Oftentimes, these leases are what keep these farms going.
01:35:13.660
It is the IRS tax code only implemented in Pennsylvania or impacting Pennsylvania that is going to keep us from getting that big hydrogen plant that he came to the state, that Biden came to the state to brag about, losing billions of dollars and thousands of jobs.
01:35:43.520
That is a belt of gas stations, kind of like Buc-ee's is in the South.
01:35:54.580
And this is where he bought the sandwiches for the workers.
01:35:58.120
On a Friday, he goes on a Thursday, he goes in and buys a bunch of sandwiches.
01:36:03.320
It's clear he's never been in a Sheetz or a gas station.
01:36:07.300
And he, the next day, the administration, shoes, sheets, forget this, enforcing criminal background checks on all of their employees.
01:36:19.920
Why? Because they said it's racist, which, by the way, I think if I were a minority, I'd be highly insulted that you think, you know, no minority can pass a criminal background check.
01:36:33.740
Not only did he pull that out as a race card, he has now retracted his war on menthol cigarettes because he is afraid that's going to hurt his black base because I guess all black people smoke are menthol cigarettes.
01:36:54.260
And so, you know, I'll kill you, you know, over time.
01:37:07.220
And I know we're a long way away, but they seem so confident, so confident.
01:37:15.620
Because I cannot believe that still there's 42, you know, 42 percent of the country that says, yeah, I'm I'm for Joe Biden.
01:37:24.940
Well, you know, there are people that will always be Democrat.
01:37:28.760
I think they were called yellow dog Democrats in the South or blue dogs.
01:37:39.520
And then there are others who just cannot abide Trump's comportment.
01:37:45.220
However, you are seeing people that are that that have left him in 2020 and post 2021 that are coming back because they they people decide on their lives and their livelihoods and their communities.
01:38:06.180
And and I feel as though I am reliving 2016 all over again.
01:38:19.380
And much of that had to do with covid and and and how and all the things that surrounded covid.
01:38:28.320
There were millions of things that impacted it.
01:38:31.200
And and also that that September 29th debate wasn't his best moment.
01:38:37.680
And a lot of people had voted right after that early voting.
01:38:41.860
So I think that this 2024 is much more similar to 20 2016.
01:38:50.060
It feels very much that is something that that is Trump's to lose.
01:38:55.400
What what remains to be his most important asset is his understanding that he needs to earn votes.
01:39:04.580
OK, do you remember years ago, Billy Joel had that song Allentown, right?
01:39:11.200
And everyone across the country sang the song with earnest and heart, not because they loved Allentown,
01:39:21.740
They saw themselves reflected that loss of community and jobs intuitively understand that while he is in Harlem campaigning or at a construction site campaigning,
01:39:40.460
He is campaigning with the backdrop of a reflection of what a thousand different cities look like across the country.
01:39:51.740
And it's interesting to me that he makes those kind of choices and Biden makes the choices that he has that doesn't earn him new votes.
01:40:01.020
He is quite brilliant at sensing the pulse and and knowing it.
01:40:07.660
And I'm so glad because I really I think your opinion matters so much because you don't you're not hanging out with experts.
01:40:14.260
You're hanging out with people in the rural areas.
01:40:21.200
And I'm so glad to hear that you say this is feeling more like 2016 than 2020.
01:40:26.240
If you can hang on just a second, I want to talk to you a little bit about Pennsylvania and what they've done to clean up the vote,
01:40:32.140
if anything, because that's that I think is the main concern of people.
01:40:37.000
Really, I think on both sides, we just we want a clean, fair election.
01:40:41.960
But there has been this this all of government decree that has gone out to bring in new voters.
01:40:52.620
We hear, you know, about, you know, illegals voting, et cetera, et cetera.
01:40:57.220
I want to hear about what you think in Pennsylvania, how well they have done, if anything, to clean up the vote this time around.
01:41:09.540
That is the International Federation of Christians and Jews.
01:41:13.960
And there has never been a better time in the history of the state of Israel when they have needed our help more.
01:41:22.660
They're really asking for can you just support us in what we do?
01:41:34.920
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews been helping out Israel for a long, long, long, long time.
01:41:43.620
And right now they're trying to build not fallout shelters, but bomb shelters at all of the bus stops.
01:41:51.980
Now, this is where people who are going to and from work and kids who are going to and fro school, this is where they stand.
01:42:04.660
Many of these kids are standing there when a rocket goes off.
01:42:11.440
I've been in one of these shelters under rocket attack, and they're pretty incredible.
01:42:20.740
But it's a way to show our support and way to actually help them in a way that's tangible.
01:42:26.240
If you could donate the full amount for one of these shelters, great.
01:42:29.260
They'll put your name on it and everything if that's what you would like.
01:42:31.480
But if you could just do one donation of $5 or $5 a month, it would certainly help.
01:42:47.360
So, Selena, everybody is concerned about the theft of an election.
01:43:07.200
So, whoever wins, we know we can trust the election.
01:43:16.200
Shapiro, Governor Josh Shapiro, Democrat, they've done a good job of clearing out the voter rolls, meaning the dead people.
01:43:26.740
And also, it's done on a county-by-county effort.
01:43:32.560
This is a general mix of Democrat county executives and Republicans or, like, a three-person commissioner.
01:43:42.480
And they've all done a fairly nonpartisan good job.
01:43:49.060
Republicans, by the way, this is really kind of funny.
01:43:52.640
So, in October, Governor Shapiro made it easier to change your voter registration or to register to vote by doing it when you get your new driver's license or, you know, you renew your driver's license.
01:44:06.780
And I thought it was pretty funny that some Republicans, like, flipped out and said, this is going to get more Democrats.
01:44:15.580
Well, there are 55,000 new Republicans within the first month of that law being enacted.
01:44:24.800
So, I think right now it is, while the Democrats still hold a majority in the state, Republicans have been doing a robust effort, not just on a grassroots level.
01:44:39.480
But you also have seen that on their own, they're doing it on their own.
01:44:45.600
They go to change their driver's license picture and they're like, oh, I can change my voter registration or I can register to vote if they're a young person.
01:44:55.500
So, for one in a blue moon, the Republicans have actually done a good job of taking advantage of all the technology, but also the enthusiasm that is on their back.
01:45:08.340
If you had to, and I wouldn't hold you to this because it's so far away, but if it were being held today, how would it end?
01:45:18.400
In Pennsylvania, right now, I mean, it's super close.
01:45:24.880
However, I would at this moment give the edge to Trump because of the small tax.
01:45:32.040
The tiny little cuts that I've been talking about, the LNG pause, the 45V, the closing of the steel mill, the sheets, these tiny little things.
01:45:46.960
And inflation, inflation is the biggest thing in this state.
01:45:55.220
And they're insulted when everyone tells you the economy is fine.
01:46:06.280
Some people are working a lot of jobs because they can't afford the basic cost.
01:46:16.480
Selina Zito, you can find her at selinazito.com.
01:46:21.760
She is, I mean, she really has her finger on the pulse, especially in Pennsylvania, where she is from and spends a lot of her time.
01:46:31.260
And that's the one thing that I feel like our government doesn't do anymore.
01:46:37.700
You know, we used to say, I don't want a president that is, you know, going by the polls.
01:46:43.160
It would be nice once in a while if he would just open up the windows of the White House to hear the chants all around the White House and the protesters, you know, because they don't seem to be listening to us.
01:46:56.780
A guy who is running for Mitt Romney's seat next.
01:47:02.340
When frequent pain has you back up against the ropes, it's time to come out swinging.
01:47:09.000
When I was dealing with some of the worst pain in my life, that meant taking Relief Factor.
01:47:12.800
And that, I have to tell you, I hate this time zone so much.
01:47:24.120
And I've heard stories from people who had the same experience, but I had taken everything and I had really given up.
01:47:29.660
Please do yourself a big favor and just try this.
01:47:35.760
It helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation.
01:47:40.620
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start Kit.
01:47:45.960
It helps reduce or eliminate your aches and pains that you're experiencing.
01:47:54.080
About 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
01:47:56.780
So it doesn't work for everybody, but that's why they have a three-week quick start kit.
01:48:15.020
Go to BlazeTV.com slash Glenn and use the promo code Glenn.
01:48:26.780
America, I'd like to introduce you to somebody who I hope will be replacing Mitt Romney.
01:48:40.440
If not him, at least someone of his background and belief in the Constitution.
01:48:59.840
It's one of the few cities in the country, if not the world, that would not enforce the lockdowns during COVID.
01:49:07.320
At the GOP convention, it is a crowded, crowded primary, but he is the two-term mayor, and 70% of the delegates supported him in the final round of voting yesterday.
01:49:34.160
I just have a few questions, and they're kind of tough, but I don't want to waste anybody's time here.
01:49:43.460
Mitt Romney, if you're going against or for his seat, what are the things that really hacked you off on policies with Mitt Romney?
01:49:55.000
Boy, I don't know how much time have we got here.
01:49:56.760
I announced, you know, I was the one that stood alone in this race.
01:50:04.300
I entered last May, and I had the stated goal of unseating Mitt Romney, to primary him.
01:50:09.440
Of course, he made the decision late September not to seek re-election, but, you know, I called out several things.
01:50:14.420
He made promises that he would balance the budget, that he would end illegal immigration, he claimed in his launch video five and a half years ago.
01:50:20.820
He said he would stop federal spending and overreach, and that he would confirm conservative justices to the court.
01:50:29.100
It's just been, shockingly, 180 degrees from that.
01:50:32.560
So I think with respect to all of the above, I mean, the budget, we're going to hold the line.
01:50:36.420
I made a contract with Utah that I am not going to vote for any omnibus spending bills.
01:50:42.400
I mean, we just, we don't have any time anymore.
01:50:44.500
We've got to get back to process, we've got to break what Senator Lee has entitled The Firm, where four individuals are back there behind closed doors and putting together 1,000-page-plus pages of legislation and budget and throwing it on the members' desks and saying, you've got 24 hours to pass this thing.
01:51:05.940
I think it's unbecoming a self-governing nation to have four individuals do that and circumvent, you know, thereby all of our elected representatives.
01:51:14.940
Let's get back to process, get this budget under order, get back to pre-COVID spending levels, and let's close this border, and let's take a wrecking ball to the regulatory state.
01:51:24.440
With my business background and have experience with that, those things would really get us back on track and unleash this American economy.
01:51:34.120
So do you see yourself as a partner with Mike Lee?
01:51:45.440
I mean, we saw him cancel with respect to many of the major votes cancel.
01:51:51.880
Our great senator here, Mike Lee, and that's what I indicated to folks from day one.
01:51:57.340
Hey, if you want another Mitt Romney, don't vote for me.
01:52:03.920
I've pledged to join the Freedom Caucus equivalent of the Senate.
01:52:08.100
They called the Executive Steering Committee, and Senator Tuberville, who came out recently and endorsed my campaign, he basically laid out, look, we've got only 18 of 49 Republican senators right now that even, you know, are part of this committee.
01:52:23.200
And we need to get to a majority within our own caucus.
01:52:28.540
And that way we ensure we do not elect a Mitch McConnell 2.0 as Senate Majority Leader and we're able to advance, advance an America First agenda.
01:52:36.340
So what would you say to people that would say, yeah, I've heard this before.
01:52:42.900
And then you guys get there and you don't do it.
01:52:49.060
Well, I've I've had that question several times over the last 11 months on the campaign trail, and I've told folks, look, talk to any Riverton resident where I'm mayor.
01:53:01.280
You you outlined several things where I've stood up to the establishment within our own state during lockdowns, during COVID madness, where we said absolutely not.
01:53:10.000
We're going to protect people's constitutionality and their rights.
01:53:13.460
We said no to lockdowns, mandates of all kinds.
01:53:18.240
I've fought inappropriate materials in school and addressing school boards and and making change there.
01:53:24.300
So I stood up time and time again and not just in the way that I was the only one to challenge Mitt Romney and stand up to McConnell.
01:53:36.860
But at the same time, I have garnered some endorsements across the country from national conservative voices and great people in elected office.
01:53:49.220
We've just got the endorsement of President Trump.
01:53:52.260
We get that Saturday morning right before the convention.
01:53:54.760
And so that, I hope, is also a sign of I'm you are going to keep me accountable here in Utah, delegates and citizens.
01:54:02.200
But I've got a group back there that's going to have my back.
01:54:05.120
And they pledged to that we're going to support one another.
01:54:15.320
My wife, Alicia, and I have been married for 17 years now.
01:54:19.920
I've got a 14-year-old son, 11-year-old daughter.
01:54:22.500
And I'm telling you, that's the reason why we're running.
01:54:24.940
When I announced my candidacy, Glenn, we were $32 trillion in debt.
01:54:32.480
And estimates are we're going to hit $50 trillion by 2030.
01:54:36.040
So within the term of the Senate seat now being decided.
01:54:45.780
So what are the top two things that you say, I will die on my sword for?
01:54:58.780
I mean, we've got to get this border in control.
01:55:10.220
There are so many problems related to crime and just there.
01:55:14.500
It's unbelievable to me the amount of impact that's having, not just financially, but otherwise here.
01:55:22.940
We've got to get back to border wall, remain in Mexico, e-verify, cutting off benefits to illegal immigrants.
01:55:27.780
We've got to support what I believe will be President Trump's second term here in office.
01:55:38.640
I mean, since 1974, the Congressional Budget Act, we're supposed to have 12 appropriation subcommittees.
01:55:44.040
There's supposed to be ample opportunity for debate and amendment.
01:55:46.140
With a firm that hasn't happened, we haven't had a balanced budget since 2001.
01:55:50.760
Just by getting us back to that process, I believe that our budget in order will stop digging the hole.
01:56:00.640
Where are we in the life cycle of the republic?
01:56:02.420
Oh, well, that's interesting you asked that question.
01:56:08.440
I mean, my big mailer that we put out to delegates said that, you know, great nations fall and had a picture of us and Rome, you know, side by side.
01:56:18.800
And it just said great nations fall when they inflate their money, forget their values, and lose control of their borders.
01:56:32.440
I share your assessment that the runway is not very – we don't have a lot of time here left to course correct.
01:56:40.820
We've got to elect people that are serious and are willing to, as you say, just die on the sword for this.
01:56:45.580
So your local paper in Salt Lake, the Tribune, did an article on Christian nationalism and said that members of the Latter-day Saint community are more likely to be Christian nationalists.
01:57:05.160
How would you define what Christian nationalism is that they're talking about?
01:57:12.340
I try not to read the Tribune, quite frankly, Glenn.
01:57:22.480
Well, I think they may be referring to a belief in the Judeo-Christian values that founded this nation.
01:57:28.420
I believe that we were founded on biblical principles.
01:57:31.240
And, you know, we could spend a lot of time talking about that and reversion back to God.
01:57:35.840
And that's something we did here, even in my own city, we reinstituted an invocation at the outset of every city council meeting.
01:57:42.160
That was one of my first order of business as mayor, because we have got to get back to those founding principles and recognize the hand of providence here in the establishment of this nation.
01:57:55.940
And that we need his help in order to restore, you have a restoration of those founding principles in this nation.
01:58:03.800
So I'd like to sit with you on Christian nationalism at some point.
01:58:06.840
What you described was the founding of our country and the way it's supposed to run.
01:58:12.820
And the left is intentionally confusing people and asking people very, very vague questions like, are you a Christian nationalist?
01:58:23.580
This is a really dangerous thing, because they're going to sweep all Christians in to this at some point.
01:58:32.340
Christian nationalism is a belief that this is a system that is wholly inadequate for a non-religious and non-moral people, as the founder said.
01:58:44.720
Thus, we have to have a new system, and it needs to be based solely on Christianity, and it needs to be run church and state combined until we can gather enough steam to be able to be responsible again.
01:59:04.820
The only thing that—I am a Christian, and I believe in our founding documents, and I want to return to our founding documents.
01:59:15.940
Your competitor, John Curtis, has for an eight-week primary sprint, he has about $7 million.
01:59:25.660
Do you have the money and the staying power to beat that?
01:59:39.400
I mean, we will, to date, you know, the last FEC report showed, Curtis with about $1.3 million cash on hand.
01:59:50.620
We, you know, getting an endorsement from President Trump just a couple of days ago.
01:59:56.400
As, you know, we've already seen an incredible amount of people go to TrentStaggs.com, you know, either donate or open up to volunteer.
02:00:04.900
We've got thousands and thousands of donors and volunteers across the state, you know, taking the convention at 70%.
02:00:12.480
That's a real—you know, we can't underestimate the importance of the grassroots efforts.
02:00:18.280
But my phone has been going off the hook here recently, and we've got so many commitments for people now that are donating, putting in fundraisers.
02:00:29.220
These are people that recognize, oh, wow, we do have somebody that we can ensure replaces Mitt Romney with a true constitutional conservative and somebody that's going to go back there and partner, you know, yoke up with Senator Lee and really, really try to save this country.
02:00:48.540
It's—we're at a real critical jump share here.
02:01:06.820
Quite a showing this weekend at the convention.
02:01:17.800
One thing I can tell you is from all—everybody I speak to, the guy is a rock-solid constitutional
02:01:29.600
And there's somebody else that is running who is also very conservative, and I'd take
02:01:38.620
This is the first time I've had a chance to speak with Trent, and I think he did well.
02:01:52.840
I'm sitting here looking at my gutters here at the ranch because it was raining really,
02:02:01.080
really hard, and the snow is still melting and everything else.
02:02:09.440

You're listening to the Swingin' Sounds of Glenn Beck.
02:03:19.900
Well, there's a few things that were in the news today that's in our newsletter.
02:03:43.720
For instance, how much do you think Ford Motors is losing on every electric vehicle they build and sell?
02:03:58.000
Obviously, this is new technology, very exciting.
02:04:00.540
So, I would assume they're profiting off of each electric vehicle.
02:04:07.340
I mean, $1,000 would be a lot to lose on every vehicle.
02:04:24.060
They don't even sell an EV that costs $130,000.
02:04:31.880
By the way, Sophia Bush, we all know, you know, that very famous actor and actress that we've all never heard of and don't really care about.
02:04:47.540
I used to think that was the L and the G, but it's not now.
02:04:57.220
She came out at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
02:05:01.280
I mean, there was no one in the room that supported her on that.
02:05:09.840
Oh, in Europe, in Germany, in Europe, they're calling for a European and English caliphate now.
02:05:19.580
We could look at our campuses and say, yeah, they're saying kill the Jews, but at least they're not calling for a caliphate here.
