00:00:00.000 The direction of this country isn't just being decided in Washington.
00:00:03.640 It's being decided in our culture, in our economy,
00:00:06.120 and in the choices that every single person makes every day.

00:01:24.640 Review helps us break through
00:01:26.160 Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.
00:01:31.800 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,
00:01:36.700 you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.
00:01:41.980 Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
00:01:56.160 We'll be right back.
00:02:26.160 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:02:39.200 hello america welcome to the glenn beck program it is monday from our studios in florida we're
00:02:48.580 glad you're here thank you so much for listening um i want to start with spirit airlines and i
00:02:53.640 want to start with whose side are the Democrats on? Because everything they do seems to hurt the
00:02:59.880 little guy. And I'm just wondering, can anybody else notice the pattern here? We start with
00:03:04.620 Spirit Airlines here in just a second. First, let me tell you about American financing.
00:03:08.460 You know what changed over the last few years? Not just prices, but how people are dealing with
00:03:12.460 them. Groceries go up, travel costs more, everything gets a little tighter. And before
00:03:16.660 you know it, you're using credit cards to keep things moving, and that balance starts to grow
00:03:20.300 faster than you expected. Now, if you're a homeowner, you probably thought about doing
00:03:24.000 something about it, but then you stop because you don't want to touch the low mortgage rate
00:03:27.920 that you locked in, right? That's exactly why American Financing created the Smart Equity Loan.
00:03:33.600 It lets you use your home's equity to pay off high interest debt and free up cash flow without
00:03:38.880 giving up your existing mortgage. And unlike a HELOC, this comes with a fixed rate,
00:03:44.240 which means one predictable payment that you can actually plan around. Listen,
00:03:48.340 be nice to breathe a little easier every day, wouldn't it? Whenever you think about finances,
00:03:53.780 does your chest tighten a little bit? American Financing can make that happen for you very
00:03:58.480 quickly. There are no upfront fees. You can find out if you qualify. Call American Financing now
00:04:03.360 at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440. It's AmericanFinancing.net. NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.
00:04:13.480 APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
00:04:17.360 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:04:22.140 So, you know, Spirit Airlines is not the luxury airlines.
00:04:27.060 It's the working class.
00:04:29.080 Yes, there's no legroom.
00:04:30.320 There's no luxury.
00:04:31.580 It's just a cheap seat from Cleveland to Orlando, from Detroit to Fort Lauderdale,
00:04:36.240 from, you know, a tired family member to go visit their grandmother.
00:04:40.660 and, you know, and using a flight that, you know, if it wasn't there,
00:04:45.180 they wouldn't be able to go see grandma.
00:04:48.120 Then, of course, the progressives came in and protected you
00:04:51.680 by helping block the JetBlue spirit merger.
00:04:55.820 Federal judge blocked it, antitrust grounds.
00:04:58.840 Warren celebrated it as a fight.
00:05:00.920 It's a win, a Biden win for flyers.
00:05:04.980 That's a quote.
00:05:06.600 Well, now, what happened this weekend?
00:05:10.660 spirit's gone thousands of people are out of work passengers were stranded and the analysts
00:05:19.780 warn fares are going to go up why because spirit gave people a different choice and it disciplined
00:05:29.700 the big airlines let me show you what happened this weekend cut 10 listen to this
00:05:34.500 Hey, Spirit Wings 1, just want to say thoughts to all you and your colleagues over there at the Bananas the next couple days in front.
00:05:43.180 Man, we really appreciate that. Thank you. It's hard to believe this is it.
00:05:47.860 Yeah, no kidding. It's always a pleasure to talk with you guys on the radios.
00:05:51.520 Hope you guys make it out okay.
00:05:54.760 Hey, Spirit. From us guys at American, good luck to y'all. Sorry to hear what happened.
00:05:59.460 Yeah, is there any other Spirit flights coming in after us?
00:06:01.660 uh let me see i don't see anything so you might be the last one
00:06:09.600 well uh it was a pleasure working with you guys and i wish you the best
00:06:19.140 thank you very much and that was it the end of spirit airline and all of those people unemployed
00:06:28.740 so let me ask elizabeth warren today who's the winner here because it was a big biden win right
00:06:36.600 who won because it wasn't the baggage handler wasn't the pilots wasn't the stewardess when
00:06:43.300 weren't the people working for spirit it certainly is not the single mom trying to fly with two kids
00:06:48.760 it's not the college student going home to see their parents it's certainly not the lower income
00:06:54.660 family that could only fly on Spirit because, yes, while Spirit may have been a little ugly
00:07:00.480 and cramped and annoying, it was at least affordable and I could fly someplace.
00:07:06.080 And who won? The little guy? No, I just told you about the little guy.
00:07:11.840 Who won? The big carriers. The people who can absorb the lost. The people who never flew Spirit.
00:07:19.700 the people who say consumer protection from the first class lounge like Elizabeth Warren
00:07:26.620 and that is the pattern over and over and over again so now the progressives in congress are
00:07:37.340 suggesting that we raise the minimum wage and we do it nationally to 25 dollars let me ask you
00:07:44.720 Let me ask you, Big J's that makes burgers and tots in Preston, Idaho, how are they going to
00:07:51.820 afford $25 minimum wage? They're not. Let me ask you, the guy who works at the deli in Manhattan,
00:08:01.600 how can he live on $25? He can't. You see, it's different wherever you are. But because you are
00:08:09.980 proposing a $25 wage and you're doing it without any kind of logic or any kind of you don't you're
00:08:16.100 not ever asked to explain how it works you just get the applause and unfortunately you may get
00:08:22.880 votes and what happens in the end well what happened to spirit airlines the worker gets fewer
00:08:28.060 hours you know the university of washington just did a study in seattle they found the $13 minimum
00:08:35.160 wage increase reduced hours by roughly six to seven percent even as hourly raise at the hourly
00:08:44.320 wage rose about three percent what did businesses do they can't afford it so they just cut back and
00:08:51.800 who gets hurt the little guy your attack on billionaires in new york and seattle and california
00:08:59.100 Oh, it feels righteous for about 10 seconds, doesn't it?
00:09:02.040 Yeah, we got Ken Cuccinelli or Ken Griffin.
00:09:05.860 We got him.
00:09:06.700 We got him.
00:09:08.100 Citadel.
00:09:10.460 Yeah, well, Citadel was in a $6 billion project, 6,000 jobs.
00:09:16.420 Construction, 15,000 permanent jobs.
00:09:20.000 Yeah, it may not happen now.
00:09:22.360 Same is happening in Seattle.
00:09:23.840 Starbucks, they're building another headquarters.
00:09:25.680 They say they're not leaving Seattle.
00:09:27.700 you're i hope you're right i mean seattle should hope that you're right i mean let me look here
00:09:34.040 seattle i just saw some numbers here washington state 17 of all businesses 17 of all businesses
00:09:43.820 in washington state are thinking about leaving last year alone 13 000 jobs in seattle were lost
00:09:54.120 Ah, but you're standing up for the little guy, aren't you?
00:09:58.440 Seems like every time you guys stand up, the little guy loses.
00:10:01.900 Little guy's lost the flight, right?
00:10:05.140 Little guy lost the hours.
00:10:07.060 Little guy loses the job.
00:10:08.920 Little guy loses the ladder to climb out of his problems.
00:10:13.300 Hmm, that is weird.
00:10:14.900 That's weird because it's almost like you're consciously running a Cloward and Piven or WEF policy.
00:10:20.300 Now, I, of course, am not saying that.
00:10:22.100 but if you take their framework seriously less carbon you can't fly as much people need to fly
00:10:28.840 less less consumption less flying more government managed scarcity wow it's almost like you are
00:10:38.080 accomplishing everything that wef wants right i mean wef aviation it openly pushes net zero by 2050
00:10:49.200 major emissions reductions by 2030 and the only way to do that is to get people to fly less and
00:10:55.420 well congratulations you have just accomplished that oh and cloward and piven that let me see
00:11:02.040 what is that one about oh yeah that's about overloading the systems to force a new redistributive
00:11:08.560 order so get communism because you'll collapse the system because you'll force too many people
00:11:15.040 into the hospitals into the schools onto government welfare wow that's weird because
00:11:19.400 that's exactly what you're doing um hmm and now our hospitals are overloaded our schools are
00:11:26.360 overloaded our our cities are collapsing huh it's almost as if the progressives are all in a room
00:11:34.860 planning collapse even though they tell us they are they tell us their end goals nobody seems to
00:11:43.920 care. Nobody seems to notice. Why does every policy that you guys sell as compassion
00:11:51.960 make ordinary life, especially for the little guy, smaller and worse? Less mobility, less
00:11:58.920 ownership, less opportunity, less cheap energy, less travel, less private choice, more dependency.
00:12:05.440 are americans ever going to wake up
00:12:14.240 or they're just going to keep taking signs handed out
00:12:22.280 that were paid for by communist china money let's say tax the billionaires are you just
00:12:29.780 going to keep doing that not ask where is that coming from where's that money coming from to
00:12:33.900 print those signs. Spirit is not just an airline. Spirit was proof that the common man could still
00:12:42.020 move. The common man could still get on a plane. He could still go where he wanted to go or needed
00:12:48.120 to go. But they protected him from consolidation. They protected him from that evil jet blue.
00:12:57.760 Well, now you've been protected from flying. And you have Elizabeth Warren and all of the
00:13:03.500 progressives, the Democrats, in your corner, fighting for you every day. Congratulations.
00:13:13.080 I guess you're one step closer to whatever it is their goal is, but I don't think their goal
00:13:22.040 is to make life easier for you. More in a minute. Let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:13:29.900 it's the international fellowship of christians and jews there's a difference between
00:13:34.080 hearing about something and responding to it you can hear about crisis you can see the images you
00:13:39.640 can understand it's serious but the end of the day most of us just kind of move on because it
00:13:43.660 feels far away and disconnected from our daily lives and i'm dealing with enough how about you
00:13:47.200 but for the people who are living through it there is no moving on in israel right now there
00:13:52.000 are families who have been displaced elderly men who can't get to safety on their own elderly woman
00:13:57.200 by themselves, people who are just trying to get through one more day without knowing what comes
00:14:02.280 next. That's where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews steps in. They're on the
00:14:06.940 ground providing food and shelter and life-saving support to people who don't have time to wait for
00:14:12.180 the rest of the world to catch up. I don't care what you think of Israel. I don't care if you
00:14:16.000 hate Benjamin Netanyahu. I don't like him all that much. I don't care if you like their policies or
00:14:21.340 not. I'm not talking about Israel. I'm talking about the Jewish people. The Jewish people are
00:14:26.400 just caught in all of this we're commanded to love them and help them not in politics not in war
00:14:35.980 just be their brothers don't wait call 888-488-IFCJ 888-488-IFCJ go online to ifcj.org
00:14:47.240 that's ifcj.org 10 seconds station id
00:14:56.400 okay so you're it's monday i got up this morning i didn't have any hot water i took a cold shower
00:15:09.120 it was great great way to start your monday uh and you know i'm lucky i have a house i have a
00:15:15.580 shower i want a lucky ones maybe you're staring at another rent hike you can't afford or skipping
00:15:21.880 the good groceries because eggs and ground beef jumped so when you hear about things like oh it's
00:15:28.800 a california wildfire it's just another california wildfire that happens all the time right the
00:15:33.620 palisades fire and i just want to ask you when did you know this hopefully it's not right now
00:15:40.140 when did you know that that was arson
00:15:42.980 because allegedly it was it was started on new year's day 2025 by a guy named jonathan rinder
00:15:52.000 neck i think you have to put that in the end rinder neck
00:15:56.400 okay prosecutors say he was angry he was heartbroken over a failed relationship he had
00:16:04.060 no plans that night he was ranting to other uber passengers that he was mad at the world
00:16:09.160 He was obsessed with fire, fixated on Luigi Mangione, free Mangione and free Luigi searches all over his devices.
00:16:23.820 He wanted to take down billionaires and capitalism, and that is the spark that started the fire.
00:16:29.360 That became, with wins, 23,000 acres, 6,800 homes, a dozen dead, and $25 billion in rubble.
00:16:44.060 That's what that became.
00:16:46.100 Take down the billionaires.
00:16:47.880 Free Luigi.
00:16:50.160 Have you heard that story?
00:16:51.480 Because, you know, maybe I've heard it.
00:16:54.740 Maybe I've heard it once.
00:16:56.540 Maybe.
00:16:56.800 uh and why don't we know that story why why is that just that why is that story just barely
00:17:03.800 making the evening news why haven't we heard the wall-to-wall updates on this guy his trial his
00:17:09.740 motives because i think most people think that it was just climate change and dry brush
00:17:14.780 because that one fits the script right
00:17:18.220 now you add in a new layer you have the race for the mayor and you have a guy who is running for
00:17:29.680 mayor who lives in the political in the pacific palisades i want you to listen to his commercial
00:17:35.500 here it is this is where mayor bass lives you notice something or here where nithya
00:17:42.300 ramen's three million dollar mansion sits they don't have to live in the mess they've created
00:17:47.340 where you live this is where i live they let my home burn down i know what the consequences of
00:17:55.320 failed leadership are that's why i'm running for mayor for my sons and the rest of us angelenos
00:18:01.140 that want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city we are going to get
00:18:05.900 the golden age of Los Angeles back do you notice what he said there they don't have to live in
00:18:13.440 their mess mom Donnie's not living in the mess Elizabeth Warren's not traveling spirit airline
00:18:20.020 she's not looking for another discount airline today they don't have to live in the mess now
00:18:24.720 the the mayor who was overseas in Africa while her city burned already under fire for fire
00:18:33.200 department budget cuts she just went after spencer pratt that guy the guy who just did that the guy
00:18:39.140 who actually lost everything she said he's exploiting the grief wait what he's exploiting
00:18:46.840 the victims um i don't know if you know this but he's living in an in a trailer parked in the rubble
00:18:54.020 where his house you know pratt is oh i don't know maybe a victim he's exploiting himself
00:19:01.640 filming ads standing there in the dirt where his life used to be and next to bass's mansion that
00:19:09.300 didn't burn saying yeah this you know notice i'm living in the mess you're not that's the way
00:19:13.360 all of these progressive politicians are they all live the way they want to live not in the mess
00:19:19.300 they created by the way karen that's not exploitation that's reality so here's why
00:19:27.700 you should care about all of this because I think all of these things are related, okay?
00:19:33.620 You show up every day. You go to work. You work hard. You're just trying to live the American
00:19:39.760 dream. You raise your kids the best you can. Can't buy a house right now. Prices are insane.
00:19:47.480 Wages feel frozen. Groceries, you're stretching every single dollar. You're cutting back on meat.
00:19:52.980 you're skipping the name brand milk. You're wondering how one more inflation spike is
00:19:58.120 going to break your budget. Your parents and your grandparents, they could afford a home.
00:20:05.680 Now, good luck with that. Meanwhile, the system rolls out the red carpet for everybody else,
00:20:12.280 especially if you're in LA or in New York. Migrants, migrants, illegal aliens,
00:20:19.160 they're handed hotel rooms prepaid gift cards debit cards loaded with cash all the while you
00:20:27.320 wait on a wait list for the same help your tax dollar your strained local budget and if you
00:20:33.200 speak up you're a heartless bastard you're just exploiting what exploiting what i feel like i'm
00:20:39.800 the one being exploited here and then you go home you're fighting against the culture your
00:20:45.620 your kids reality of gender confusion and everything else the ideology over over over
00:20:52.680 the basic things basic principles schools keeping secrets from you the parent fighting just for your
00:20:59.220 right to raise your children and then you're painted as a problem by the government by the
00:21:04.640 progressive government another win for the biden administration every day you're the parent saying
00:21:12.820 no to the latest trend you're the one driving in the carpool now you're the one now packing the
00:21:18.480 lunch trying to give them a shot at the american dream that you grew up believing in and you're
00:21:23.360 wondering now really is this but it's not the dream it's not the country it's the politicians
00:21:29.240 it's the progressive politician this is the country under attack and it's not just under
00:21:36.260 attack from one arsonist sickness or from the foreign threats it's under attack from within
00:21:42.760 unhinged people acting on rage because they've been fed a narrative by whom media well the media
00:21:52.940 is playing a role in that they're amplifying the grievance you know they move on when the story
00:21:58.240 doesn't fit but it's the politicians and the progressives not just the politicians i want to
00:22:05.500 make that clear not just the politicians it's the progressive educators it's the progressive
00:22:11.520 leaders around the world that are going to get theirs. They're going to get there. They know
00:22:18.600 they're fine. They're fine. And it's the progressives that are going around fixing
00:22:24.220 things. Really? Can you fix maybe some basics like fire response? How about fixing accountability?
00:22:31.860 How about fixing your list of priorities? Because the hardworking majority gets the
00:22:39.240 figurative or literal trailer every day. Every day. And the system seems to reward the chaos
00:22:47.400 and the handouts and the progressive politicians that have just destroyed another $13,000 or 13,000
00:22:53.980 jobs with progressive airlines. Hey, what do you say? Can we do better? Real scrutiny of leaders
00:23:00.900 who fail then deflect? Policies that, you know, put the people paying the bills actually into
00:23:09.540 hardship? Palisades don't lie. Trailer doesn't lie. Our politicians seem to not lie an awful lot.
00:23:16.220 Good news is millions of Americans are waking up, waking up.
00:23:22.600 All right. You know, there are two ways to look at a problem. One is to ask,
00:23:26.640 what's somebody going to do about this the other thing is to say what can i do about this ask not
00:23:33.520 what your country can do for you this is this is why i started mercury one you know um my goal when
00:23:39.500 i started this charity was to have every dollar go to the things that we say when i come on the
00:23:45.040 air and i say hey i want to raise money for this problem 100 of every dollar goes right there okay
00:23:50.760 And I wanted also to involve you.
00:23:55.060 I wanted you to be the first responder in your area.
00:23:57.420 If something went wrong in your area, we could help fund it.
00:24:00.860 But we were going to go to your church.
00:24:02.520 We were going to go to the people who were actually on the ground making the difference.
00:24:06.000 We're not going to the Red Cross.
00:24:08.200 That was the goal.
00:24:10.240 And we have done an exceptional job of that.
00:24:12.840 You are an amazing audience on what's happened.

00:25:33.480 i want protected most in the government because i just i absolutely love her she is our assistant
00:25:39.220 Attorney General. She is running the Civil Rights Division. She's with us now. And Harmi,
00:25:46.240 let me just start before we get into the news of the day. Well, thank you for coming and thank you
00:25:50.220 for sharing your story of being a legal immigrant in the nation. Well, thank you so much for having
00:25:57.600 me, Glenn, and for your warm introduction. It was a very moving event and the stories you told about
00:26:03.860 the president's family and your own family were also very moving and just demonstrate how important
00:26:10.260 our history is and respecting it and keeping it legal and so i'm really proud to be part of that
00:26:15.720 here at the department of justice and generally in my law practice in life and uh you know i could
00:26:20.880 not love this country more so you are part of the you're running the civil rights division of the
00:26:27.420 doj and there's a couple of things that i mean i can't take the jim crow stuff uh anymore um and
00:26:34.780 the lack of people noticing how the doj was weaponized um the doj task force report uh came
00:26:42.680 out last week anti-christian bias was real systematic and uh pervasive uh how deep what
00:26:50.820 was the thing that you saw you were like oh my gosh i can't believe this well i mean i can believe
00:26:56.100 all of it because we've been compiling this stuff for a while now and i experienced this type of
00:27:01.940 anti-christian and really anti-religious bias as a lawyer in private practice uh over the last
00:27:07.700 several years i'll just give you one example um you know our government not just the doj but you
00:27:13.020 know various uh aspects of the government viewed people seeking religious accommodations to not
00:27:19.140 have to get the covid vaccination if they were government employees right as uh as you know not
00:27:24.800 legitimate. They've basically internally labeled all of those accommodation requests
00:27:29.080 illegitimate. The Biden DOJ continued the Obama DOJ's efforts to go after little sisters of the
00:27:40.000 poor and other Christian organizations like that. The Bostock memo that effectively took that Bostock
00:27:49.420 ruling, which I disagree with from the Supreme Court about gay rights, and went way beyond that
00:27:58.720 and basically made it illegitimate for any person employed by the government to have a Christian
00:28:06.340 viewpoint on gay marriage and issues like that, which are very much spiritual and religious in
00:28:13.860 nature and so there was just a complete lack of respect for the christian and more broadly
00:28:20.800 i mean to the point of viewpoint to the point of trying to get christians off of juries screen
00:28:26.440 them out to get christians off of juries to in the case of a companion report that we issued a few
00:28:34.060 weeks ago our faith act weaponization report where uh disparaging remarks were made by doj
00:28:40.920 prosecutors in my department, former prosecutors now in my department here, about a magistrate
00:28:47.760 judge being a Catholic, keeping people of faith off of juries, and going after and seeking
00:28:55.320 sentences that were more than double for Christian protesters outside abortion clinics than for
00:29:02.300 really domestic terrorists going after pro-life centers in Florida in, you know, one important
00:29:09.660 case after the Dobbs decision.
00:29:12.000 So these disparities were
00:29:13.880 marked. They were open.
00:29:15.860 They were written down in emails.
00:29:18.560 And, you know,
00:29:19.740 thank goodness that we have
00:29:21.880 a president today who is
00:29:23.840 not just dedicated to changing that
00:29:25.900 but also documenting what
00:29:27.800 happened so that people should feel ashamed
00:29:30.040 to do this to other people of faith
00:29:31.700 in our country because our country is founded
00:29:33.780 on faith and specifically on the
00:29:35.840 Christian faith.
00:29:37.540 We're not really good at shame.
00:29:39.660 right now what what what are what steps are we taking i mean my biggest fear is we lose in 2028
00:29:46.200 and all of this stuff comes back with a vengeance what is being done to make sure this doesn't
00:29:52.940 happen again anything can anything be done well glenn it very much could happen again i mean you
00:29:58.520 can count on it happening again in fact in fact hakeem jeffries and uh the james comey's and other
00:30:05.120 prominent figures in the world are promising that the punishment of conservatives will happen
00:30:10.880 if the parties change. And we don't do the opposite. But what I will tell you is that
00:30:15.900 lawyers in this department who violated the rights of Americans, including Brady violations against
00:30:21.680 defendants, refusing to disclose exculpatory evidence in some of these weaponized
00:30:27.600 faith-related cases, they no longer work here. So yeah, sure, they could reapply in four years
00:30:33.760 or three years uh but their careers would have moved on by then and and frankly if they want to
00:30:38.880 fight uh i mean we have records but what before anyone gets terminated here there's a there's a
00:30:44.200 record of what they did and you know that'll all be a public record so uh i i think i think that
00:30:49.680 is an improvement i mean a lot of people have uh criticized me on the hill and democrats have
00:30:54.880 criticized me for uh the fact that 75 percent of the lawyers in the civil rights division
00:30:59.520 left after I became the Assistant Attorney General. That is absolutely a positive development.
00:31:05.900 For one thing, most of those lawyers were biased, and no one is entitled to a forever
00:31:12.120 job here. What we have now, and we're building back up here, is Second Amendment lovers,
00:31:17.260 is people who love liberty, Christians, Jews, people of faith, people of all faiths are welcome
00:31:24.060 here if they are willing to respect the Constitution and commit to the civil rights agenda
00:31:30.800 that's consistent with protecting all Americans, not just the favored few.
00:31:36.160 And back to that weaponization report, this DOJ put out guidance that Christians could
00:31:42.320 not possibly be the victims of religious discrimination because they're the majority.
00:31:46.960 That's ridiculous.
00:31:47.860 That's not what our Constitution says.
00:31:49.340 The Roberts Court, for all of its flaws, I disagree with some things.
00:31:53.580 The Roberts court has absolutely, and all the way up to last week's opinion in Louisiana versus Calais, has steered the ship regarding discrimination back to the center where it belongs.
00:32:06.960 Let me switch to the SCOTUS ruling on gerrymandering.
00:32:10.460 If I hear one more person say Jim Crow, I think I'm going to lose my mind.
00:32:13.980 I can't even imagine how you feel.
00:32:17.420 What is the effect of this, and are we going after the states?
00:32:22.960 I know you said you're going after enforce in every state that has radically rigged maps.
00:32:30.220 You're going to enforce this.
00:32:31.640 What is the plan?
00:32:32.640 What does it mean?
00:32:34.760 Okay, so we're formulating what the plan means.
00:32:38.360 I mean, I will tell you that the timing of this ruling is such that, you know, the closer you are to elections happening, the less leeway courts give you to make changes.
00:32:50.600 a lot of these changes have to be made at the political level and we're seeing that happen
00:32:54.900 and when i say i'm going to enforce the law throughout the united states i mean that's not
00:32:58.800 committing to any particular timeline because we do have to respect some of these parameters and
00:33:03.500 we do have to look at the political situation so where some states mainly it's southern states but
00:33:08.580 not exclusively are uh committing to redistricting you know they're going to go through that process
00:33:13.060 which is a political process and the supreme court has has ruled that political gerrymandering
00:33:18.260 is acceptable um and so that's going to be happening throughout the country um you know
00:33:24.160 eventually i think what you're going to see eventually over the next two four six years
00:33:28.400 is there there are going to be legal actions if not by the department of justice by by candidates
00:33:35.660 bipartisan entities just like happened in louisiana versus calais naacp forced the hand over
00:33:41.620 there they may be regretting that now but instead of having one black majority district they went
00:33:48.040 for broke and went for two and now there may be zero because political gerrymandering uh means
00:33:54.280 that they can redraw the lines that fit the other criteria that are mentioned in the court the
00:33:59.260 jingles test that talks about compactness and you know communities of interest and so forth and that
00:34:05.340 isn't necessarily race in 2026 in america i i don't believe it's race we have a number of um
00:34:12.600 people being elected from both parties constituencies of all different races in
00:34:18.280 america and that's a beautiful thing in our country so we saw last week our acting attorney
00:34:25.260 general go after you know fauci's number two i know this is not your area of expertise
00:34:30.920 but we're just days away from fauci i mean he's already been pardoned but we can't bring up
00:34:37.020 charges pretty soon are all these i mean are we moving forward on these things harmeet are people
00:34:44.780 going to pay a price for anything yeah look people are going to pay a price you have to understand
00:34:49.640 that the wheels of justice turn a little more slowly in the government than they might
00:34:54.020 in private practice i certainly have been frustrated by that myself but when i think
00:34:59.460 you've seen my boss uh acting attorney general todd blanche blanket the news waves this past
00:35:05.880 weekend regarding the Comey indictment and others. And, you know, what you see in public is just a
00:35:11.700 fraction of the evidence that's out there. And so building these cases takes time. We have had
00:35:16.680 turnover here. We have had weaponized justice in the form of judges who refuse to let some of our
00:35:22.780 cases go forward and, you know, and grand juries that refuse to indict. That's been a challenge,
00:35:29.120 but I'm confident that you are going to see justice. I mean, people want it to go a lot
00:35:33.960 faster than it has. That isn't my area. And civil rights, I'm very proud to say that in
00:35:38.380 a year, we've accomplished a tremendous amount of justice within our areas of expertise. But
00:35:44.380 the U.S. attorney's offices, I'm in touch with my friends in different U.S. attorney's offices.
00:35:49.780 They're bringing cases regarding illegal voting. They're bringing cases regarding some of these
00:35:54.900 massive fraud issues. Yes, there are pardons out there that cover a lot of the behavior that
00:36:00.720 frustrate Americans. I think, you know, I'd love to see Fauci pay for some of the things that he
00:36:06.040 did and others. And, you know, I can't promise you any particular results, but I can tell you
00:36:11.540 that everyone here in this building is extremely dedicated to the president's agenda, certainly in
00:36:16.900 our leadership here, and to getting justice for Americans who were wronged in the last several
00:36:21.340 years. Can you go, let me go back to the gerrymandering thing. Can you speak as the
00:36:28.780 person that is running the civil rights division at the doj can you speak to those people like the
00:36:34.840 people on the view that say this is just we're just silencing blacks and minorities and um you
00:36:42.720 know we're going back to the i don't even know 1950s or or whenever um to nightmare years can you
00:36:49.300 what would you say to them well first of all i'm not sure they would listen but what i would say
00:36:54.580 to them is i'm a woman who grew up in the deep south and you know i there was the ku klux klan
00:37:00.260 in my county when i was growing up in the 1970s in rural north carolina and that was scary and
00:37:06.160 guess what it isn't there anymore it is it is it is not mainstream it is fringe it is
00:37:11.060 our country has come so far we've had a black president we have had uh you know just so many
00:37:19.500 people of power from all over. Look at Hakeem Jeffries as the minority leader. We have a
00:37:26.540 diverse and beautiful society, and we should be proud of that. We should celebrate it,
00:37:31.000 and we should stop putting our thumb on the scale. It's not fair to all Americans,
00:37:34.880 and it is simply perpetuating a racist history that we should be proud to be able to have moved
00:37:41.740 past in our country. And so I think some of these gerrymandered districts, I mean, you know,
00:37:48.060 it has consequences on both sides.
00:37:50.080 What it does is it creates one very liberal district and then all the other
00:37:53.680 districts become slightly more conservative.
00:37:55.760 That's generally the pattern in a,
00:37:58.040 in a red state or a Southern state.
00:38:01.160 And instead,
00:38:02.260 what you're going to have is more competitive districts eventually for
00:38:05.460 everybody.
00:38:06.020 And I think that's actually a really good thing.
00:38:08.040 I,
00:38:08.280 I,
00:38:08.660 I frankly,
00:38:10.120 even though of course I'm a Republican,
00:38:12.620 you know,
00:38:13.280 I go on Capitol Hill,
00:38:14.160 I testify,
00:38:14.840 I speak to members of Congress sometimes and I despair at,
00:38:17.260 the sort of the difficulty one has in dislodging any of these people from their positions. Once
00:38:24.700 they get elected, it seems almost impossible to replace them. We could use more change. We could
00:38:28.880 use more fresh blood in politics. And I think all Americans should view this as an opportunity to
00:38:34.700 get some better people elected to Congress. Harmeet, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
00:38:40.600 Thanks for having me. Just want to say, I wish you were our attorney general. I'm just throwing
00:38:45.760 that out there i'm not asking you to comment on it but uh thanks harmeet dylan uh our assistant
00:38:50.260 attorney general in charge of the civil rights division all right you're at a gas station just
00:38:55.700 off the highway it's late enough that uh you know the lot is mostly empty just a couple of cars
00:39:00.940 nothing out of the ordinary car pulls in fast stops a little too close two guys get out talking
00:39:05.780 low moving with purpose looking at you first um and then and then pretending to ignore you but
00:39:13.000 they're not ignoring you you know you know you feel and you're saying to yourself it's probably
00:39:16.520 nothing nothing they start walking your way not directly just circling a little figuring something
00:39:21.740 out then one of them comes a little closer close enough that you don't have to guess anymore that's
00:39:26.220 the moment do i wait do i say oh you know what i'm safe here or do you pull out your burner uh and
00:39:33.220 shift the whole situation they stopped whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa that's fine if not just
00:39:40.720 fire off around just hit it at the ground right in front of them it's tear gas that'll stop them
00:39:44.920 that'll stop them before whatever could have been happens you're safe gives you distance control and
00:39:50.980 a way to stop a threat without escalating uh to something you just never can take back it's legal
00:39:55.980 in all 50 states there's no permit required right now burna is offering a hundred dollars off the
00:40:00.420 burna le gen 2 this is their little compact gun it's great uh burna byrna.com secure yours while
00:40:07.460 supplies last. That's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. Dividers can call us names. We just call each
00:40:20.200 other neighbor and friend. We'll be right back.
00:40:37.460 welcome to the lenbeck program uh i'm in florida for a week and then i'm
00:40:48.420 off uh overseas i'm going to be with tommy robinson in uh in london uh next week i would
00:40:56.840 just ask you a personal favor if you would uh pray for my team for uh guidance and spiritual eyes
00:41:05.820 i would greatly appreciate that speaking of keeping people in your prayers uh rudy giuliani
00:41:11.560 i want to talk about this later but you know uh rudy is in the hospital and you can say whatever
00:41:20.040 you want about rudy but i think the guy is a national icon i mean he was america's mayor
00:41:26.960 you know until he got wrapped up with donald trump and then all of a sudden he just became
00:41:32.100 just the worst monster ever um you know he led an amazing life and uh and did a lot of things
00:41:41.980 keep rudy giuliani in your prayers as he is in critical condition stable but critical condition
00:41:46.700 here in florida in a hospital all right more in just a second we're going to take on a political
00:41:53.140 violence trump being blamed for gas prices and so much more all that coming up in just a minute
00:42:00.840 Stand by.
00:42:12.520 One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself.
00:42:20.320 You're still in the room.
00:42:21.540 You're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.
00:42:26.400 And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit.
00:42:29.620 and you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore.
00:42:34.540 What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial.
00:42:38.340 It's the process.
00:42:39.440 It's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments,
00:42:42.460 the price tag that makes you go, what?
00:42:46.260 So people wait, and you shouldn't have to.

00:44:07.200 Glenn Beck is on.
00:44:10.960 I want to talk to you about ActBlue and some of this progressive money,
00:44:15.180 but I think I want to start, Sarah, I want to start with assassinations
00:44:19.340 because there's a lot of things coming out where we have candidates,
00:44:24.860 Senate candidates in two different states actually preaching violence and you
00:44:32.120 know I don't know what it's gonna take what is it gonna take for you guys on
00:44:34.880 the left to get it but we'll go over to that here in just a second and act blue
00:44:38.360 where is all this all this money all this money that's washing around in our
00:44:43.100 system Texas and Ken Paxton at least taking on act blue but what about all
00:44:47.780 the other money that's happening all over the country where's the federal
00:44:50.920 government more in just a second first mothers can bring out some of the most beautiful things
00:44:55.760 beautiful moments you've ever seen um we've been there family together maybe dinner just maybe a
00:45:01.220 normal gathering and somebody stands up and says next year there's going to be a new mom in this
00:45:05.820 family what everything stops because everybody knows they're watching a life change in real time
00:45:12.600 somebody's becoming a mom here's the part we don't always see some women mother's day isn't
00:45:17.820 a celebration. It is a weight. It is fear and uncertainty. It's why pre-born matters because
00:45:23.260 when a woman sees her baby on the ultrasound, what she hears is a heartbeat and something changes.
00:45:28.940 And often she'll choose life just because of that ultrasound. And $28 provides one ultrasound. That's
00:45:34.300 less than a dollar a day and it could save a life. Or $140 reaches five moms. Pre-born empowers moms
00:45:41.220 to be mothers. And it's only a beginning because that moment leads to real support, maternity care,
00:45:47.260 baby clothes diapers counseling and so much more that's what happens when we get together
00:45:52.540 when we can just provide an ultrasound we get involved dial pound 250 say the keyword baby
00:45:58.480 pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash back that's preborn.com slash back
00:46:05.440 all right i want to play a couple of things for you you know it used to be really simple if
00:46:13.980 somebody tried to kill the president you know it looked like one guy one gun you know they try you
00:46:20.600 could point to it you could under you could understand it you could explain it to your kids
00:46:24.400 but i think that world is absolutely gone we're looking now at something really different
00:46:31.320 because when you line up the attempts on donald trump's life and there's a new story out on our
00:46:36.980 our um show prep today you can get it for free at glenbeck.com um sign up for the show prep there's
00:46:43.640 there's a couple of stories in there about assassinations and what is coming and how bad
00:46:48.960 it is this president has been targeted officially now more than any other president in history
00:46:53.700 they have tried to kill him more than any other president in u.s history and what we're seeing
00:47:00.160 is a progression um it's a pattern okay let's start at the beginning in 2016 a man at a rally
00:47:07.760 in las vegas tried to grab a gun from a police officer and shoot the president that's the old
00:47:13.560 model that's the what was her name squeaky from remember her tried to kill uh gerald ford it was
00:47:20.100 impulsive it's fast it's rash it's the old model it's the old school back in my days we tried to
00:47:25.860 grab a gun it's close range it was desperate 2017 comes along things start to shift a man tries to
00:47:34.600 attack trump's motorcade with a forklift now think about that to me this is the difference between
00:47:42.740 planting a bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center and then that not working and then
00:47:47.660 trying to fly airplanes into the side of the building five years later. The bad guys now
00:47:53.900 are starting to think about disruption and spectacle. By 2020, we're not even in that room
00:48:02.540 anymore. Letter arrives 2020. Ricin meant to kill through the mail. Distance now is entering the
00:48:10.560 picture. You don't need access. You just need to find a way to get proximity. You need a system,
00:48:19.360 a way to exploit it. And then everything begins to accelerate from there. Now, 2024,
00:48:27.820 planned, well thought out, strangely, seemingly very easy. Butler, Pennsylvania,
00:48:35.040 back to the movie assassin you know the story is one gunman rooftop and a rifle and this time
00:48:44.100 it almost works it almost works a bullet hits trump's ear i mean if that's not an act of god
00:48:50.980 i don't know what is the supporter one supporter is killed others are shot and wounded this is no
00:48:58.160 longer chaotic. This is planned, well-planned, and calculated. Elevation, distance, all of it.
00:49:07.380 Here's the part that bothers me. There are lots of warnings here. Lots of them.
00:49:14.700 In that particular case, people saw the shooter on the roof. No one stopped it in time.
00:49:20.200 that was left that roof was left empty and unguarded really how two months later two months
00:49:28.760 after that assassination same same year west palm beach man hiding in the bushes at the golf course
00:49:34.280 with a rifle waiting watching this is not anger anymore now they're stalking him and behind the
00:49:42.740 scenes federal prosecutors uncover a plot tied to individuals linked to the iranian revolutionary
00:49:49.160 Guard. This is two years ago. And not just Trump, but multiple U.S. leaders are targeted. I want to
00:49:56.740 say that again. It's important because I'm going to tell you the latest. Not just Trump, but several
00:50:02.860 U.S. leaders are targeted by the Iranians. Now, that's a different category. Again,
00:50:09.080 that's not a lone actor. That's geopolitical. That's foreign terrorism. And yet the media
00:50:17.200 is silent on that one. Nobody even brings that one up. Why is that? We're a war with Iran. You
00:50:22.000 would think that that would be a layer. Okay. Then we go to the last one, Washington, D.C.
00:50:28.900 Man forces his way into a room filled with the most powerful people in government,
00:50:33.740 armed. Let me say that again. Gee, filled with the most powerful people in government,
00:50:39.260 and he was armed he fires secret service agent is hit survives but i want you to think about
00:50:48.640 the target it's not a rally it's not a golf course it's a room full of the leadership of
00:50:56.480 the united states that's not an assassination that's destabilization had it worked that's
00:51:02.020 destabilization that's the that is the constitutional order being disrupted okay because
00:51:08.940 who was in that room that could have been a decapitation event of our government okay it
00:51:14.760 wasn't but it could have been and if that guy could get in what's stopping people with real
00:51:21.920 money and from iran getting in i mean remember oh well they can't do that who's going to fly
00:51:28.380 planes into airplanes into buildings well i don't know and why is the media treating it like this
00:51:36.460 because along the way there's been other lesser you know known pieces of this pattern
00:51:45.040 you know an armed man breaching uh mar-a-lago when was that six months ago a plot tied to isis
00:51:52.560 sympathizers again foreign uh directed attempts stopped before execution but foreign funded
00:52:00.380 some succeed in getting close some never make it out of planning but they're all signals they're
00:52:08.040 all signals why aren't we listening to the signals well let me give you an example let me go to the
00:52:16.280 let me go to the audio from today uh sarah if i can let me see if i can find my audio sheet let me
00:52:23.620 play let me play uh where is it here here's a michigan democrat uh believe running for senate
00:52:35.800 yeah running for senate okay here he is this weekend cut one and you personally see parallels
00:52:43.480 between Nazi Germany and what's happening under the Trump administration.
00:52:48.460 Yeah, I do.
00:52:49.660 It is deeply concerning that we see an authoritarian slide.
00:52:53.800 And as we talked about earlier, dividing people against each other to convince people that
00:53:00.000 if you're not doing well economically, it's somebody else's fault is an incredibly dangerous
00:53:04.700 place for us to be in.
00:53:06.040 I don't think that a lot of people would argue that there are shades of authoritarianism
00:53:10.940 here that we need to be deeply concerned about.
00:53:13.480 stop first of all if you checked who you're running on you're running with the democrats
00:53:18.660 if you're not doing well it's somebody else's fault that is your entire campaign that is the
00:53:25.040 platform of the democratic party what are you talking about but again let's just talk about
00:53:30.300 authoritarian and let's just compare them to nazis again also you had another senate uh candidate in
00:53:35.820 this time in pennsylvania that was arrested this weekend for making a threat uh about his
00:53:42.500 Republican challenger left voicemails saying that congressman and his daughter would have
00:53:51.000 their throats slit and then also made threats against the president. So just this weekend,
00:53:58.120 you have two candidates for Senate in the Democratic Party saying this.
00:54:04.720 hmm now that's a problem but the media doesn't want to address that
00:54:14.140 let me give you another one how about this one we're going to go to cut to this this is uh this
00:54:20.500 comes from virginia tech um virginia tech on friday a former columbia professor uh did a tour
00:54:31.660 stop there declaring his support for hamas and he's talking about the term death to america i
00:54:37.960 want you to listen to this we are in a war a racial religious war since 1492 as i've elucidated
00:54:44.320 a little while um but we are in a battle for hearts and minds and souls sir and so when we say
00:54:52.420 death to America, we mean
00:54:55.960 and loud and clear, a total
00:54:59.700 and to U.S. empire, the destruction of this crusading
00:55:03.640 settler colony, her entire project,
00:55:07.200 her capacity to meddle and intervene
00:55:10.080 in other nations, to wage war, to engage in
00:55:13.500 to engage in interventions, to continue her ongoing
00:55:16.820 genocide, her anti-blackness, her
00:55:19.800 anti-indigenous founding and structure right here where we are
00:55:27.080 it means i reckon it means indigenous sovereignty it means black self determination
00:55:33.860 it means that we would be engaged in different ways of life according to indigenous traditions
00:55:41.160 and spiritualities and ways of living with the land and not on it
00:55:44.780 hmm wow uh that's amazing he's so open-minded and so great mohammed abdu um by the way uh the
00:55:55.420 death to the academy tour spot uh stop spelled with a k i guess it's kind of like america with
00:56:01.980 a k or did they just have a leftover k you know because maybe they were printing signs that said
00:56:06.880 kkk k and they had a leftover k and they're like oh no it's only three k's i'm not sure i'm not
00:56:12.400 sure but um it's so open-minded of him right wow what could possibly besides justice what could
00:56:20.900 mohammed's reasoning be to collapse and destroy the united states of america
00:56:27.380 what's happening here america what's changed everything everything you know it used to be
00:56:39.320 one guy walking in behind president lincoln and shooting him one guy hinkley coming up and
00:56:48.800 shooting the president one moment now it's layered you have the lone actors you also have the
00:56:55.320 ideological extremists you have the distance attacks the mail the surveillance the infiltration
00:57:01.260 but you also have something else you have the failure points you have the security gaps you
00:57:05.760 have the missed warnings you have systems that don't seem to be adapting or at least not fast
00:57:11.660 enough but you also have on top of that foreign intelligence plots let me ask you this did you
00:57:22.260 notice the news this weekend about uh about how we just need to end the billionaires oh if we can
00:57:30.420 just stop with all the billionaires we'd just be free wait what was that democratic senator
00:57:35.500 in michigan saying that you know to say you're not successful because of somebody else i'm sorry
00:57:41.940 i don't know how that works with ending the billionaires taxing the rich anyway who funded
00:57:49.120 all that foreign money millions and millions of dollars from communist china and other hostile
00:57:57.080 actors in the middle east are we looking for any of that
00:58:02.620 is anybody putting this together the real story here the real story connect the dots
00:58:14.540 real story is there have been multiple attempts multiple and it's not that it's how they're
00:58:22.180 changing from impulsive those are still in play to planned to networked to international now you
00:58:29.480 got all of them now you have all of them and yet the media and those tasked to protect the
00:58:34.380 constitutional order uh treating it like this like nothing has really changed we're just still
00:58:38.800 dealing with a lone gunman i don't think so may i ask three questions here one why isn't our system
00:58:45.280 blaring flashing red lights everywhere why is this still happening why are we not hearing about all
00:58:50.860 the additional threats two has anybody asked with this trajectory what does the next version
00:58:59.040 of assassination attempt look like not 10 years from now the next one and the third one and maybe
00:59:06.400 the most uncomfortable is i think the president is traveling to china isn't he china has just
00:59:14.820 spent millions of dollars on our streets trying to collapse our system we know donald trump has
00:59:21.860 hurt china a great deal of course you'll never hear that in the media because they're all for
00:59:26.580 China. You'll never hear anybody talk about it in universities because they're getting all that
00:59:30.980 Chinese money. But let me ask you, as they are funding Code Pink and all of the others who are
00:59:38.420 vowing to stop the president by any means necessary, should the president meet in China
00:59:44.620 with the Chinese leaders or should maybe we meet in some neutral territory and maybe perhaps
00:59:50.100 make sure the president's not poked by an umbrella or shake hands with somebody?
00:59:54.500 i'm sorry i actually worry about the president and i would be saying the same thing if it was
01:00:02.340 a democrat and the conditions were exactly the same this is the president of the united states
01:00:07.820 please mr president don't go to china don't go to china
01:00:13.160 and and maybe our doj should start really stopping all of the foreign money that is coming in
01:00:22.600 to kill you maybe they should spend 10 minutes on that all right let me tell you about super

01:00:50.420 track and you just assume they're fine until you know one of them isn't when something happens and
01:00:57.300 you're trying to figure out am i covered for this what am i covered for when you're trying to figure

01:01:46.280 ricky repeat what you just told me
01:02:03.300 what the torchies are saying
01:02:04.520 one of our torch members
01:02:06.100 one with liberty
01:02:07.420 said what do we do then
01:02:08.940 do we pray
01:02:09.760 do we lock and load
01:02:11.800 Joey, we don't lock and load. We definitely pray for the president. If you're speaking about the president, we definitely pray for the president and we pray for all all politicians, all of them, because I'm concerned about, you know, mayors and everybody else.
01:02:30.180 you you are we have bred a generation of marxist radicals and they are very well funded and all
01:02:39.220 you have to do is just ask grok generally speaking historically are marxist radicals violent i mean
01:02:47.580 i don't even just run that through grok for me real quick to see what it says i think the answer
01:02:52.560 is probably pretty clear um don't do it through chat gpt because chat gpt will say well i can't
01:02:59.100 make any blanket statements and i think you're racist for even saying those things
01:03:02.960 what does it say glenn's just looking at me while i type i know let's see here
01:03:11.380 marxist ideology frames politics as irreconcilable class warfare uh-huh explicitly endorses
01:03:20.140 revolutionary overthrow uh-huh and later theorists lenin trotsky mal other names i
01:03:27.140 can't pronounce treated violence as necessary or desirable to smash the bourgeois structures
01:03:32.400 by any means necessary right by any means necessary of course so that's what we've bred
01:03:38.120 we have taken our kids we've put them in these colleges stop paying for college if your kid
01:03:44.980 starts to drift cut them off cut them off get them out of that college um but uh we've we've
01:03:53.300 got our kids in these colleges where they're being indoctrinated and they are becoming
01:03:57.880 marxist revolutionaries and it's it's not just happening in the colleges it's happening in some
01:04:03.260 of our grade schools did you hear how many schools let their kids out on uh on friday for
01:04:08.740 mayday and showed them how to protest protest for what communism so we we have we've allowed
01:04:19.920 this to grow in our midst. We have to take care of our own families, but we have to pray because
01:04:26.520 they'll kill anybody that stands in their way. If Elizabeth Warren isn't radical enough for them,
01:04:32.840 look out, Elizabeth Warren. You're going to be on their target as well. I mean, I've said that
01:04:36.940 for years. These people will eat their own in the end. Mark my words. You don't believe me?
01:04:44.460 Read a little history. Most important thing to do is pray for the republic.
01:04:49.920 you ever think about how many companies in your life you know you know you you you never really
01:04:57.800 chose kind of you just ended up with them somebody recommended them or it was a default option or you
01:05:03.200 signed up years ago and you just never questioned it and then one day you realize you know i don't
01:05:07.060 actually know anything about this company you know verizon i don't know what do they support
01:05:11.800 when i give them my money where does the money go well if you're paying you know their full price
01:05:17.460 their full boat boy boy oh boy they are making so much money off of you and a lot of it is going
01:05:21.640 to causes you don't like okay and that's with all of them so i patriot mobile stands out because
01:05:28.020 this is the company you can actually choose on purpose you know where your money is going you
01:05:33.380 know what they support you know that it lines up with your values your faith your family freedom
01:05:39.400 and here's the part most people you know assume isn't true you don't have to sacrifice to get
01:05:45.500 that they operate operate on all three major networks which means you're getting reliable
01:05:49.900 coverage whether you're actually you know supporting something uh that you don't believe

01:06:15.500 so on saturday we were uh up at ellis island and it was it was such an honor i don't think it
01:06:34.660 really hit me until that night on what an honor it was to be a part of america's 250th birthday
01:06:43.600 and to celebrate it at, uh, at Ellis Island. You know, I walked on Friday, I walked through Ellis
01:06:53.180 Island and I just stood there in the place where all the baggage used to sit. And I thought about
01:06:58.240 all the people who, you know, they came, everything they had is, it was in one suitcase.
01:07:03.320 And then they're asking, yeah, just put your suitcase down here and thinking I'm never going
01:07:06.600 to get my suitcase back. I'm never going to see my suitcase again, putting it down, you know,
01:07:11.480 being afraid of everything because you don't necessarily speak the language,
01:07:14.520 going up the stairs and standing where we had dinner in this great hall,
01:07:18.420 this just beautiful,
01:07:19.600 beautiful hall.
01:07:21.100 Um,
01:07:21.660 and I was a little overwhelmed by it,
01:07:24.160 uh,
01:07:25.300 on Saturday on the honor that it was to stand there and to talk about the
01:07:30.860 history of the United States.
01:07:32.840 Um,
01:07:33.320 during my speech,
01:07:34.780 um,
01:07:36.040 I told a story that I don't think people really,
01:07:39.100 they didn't see coming until the very end uh and i want to i want to play this back for you this is
01:07:44.900 in the middle of the speech you can now find it on demand at glenbeck.com slash torch
01:07:48.860 i want to tell you a story of a young woman in particular that you probably have never heard of
01:07:55.620 her name is marianne she was born on the remote island of lewis in scotland this is a place of
01:08:07.240 hard scrapping life high winds it was 1930 she was 18 years old and she got on a boat to come to
01:08:17.660 Ellis Island in 1930 on May 2nd today is the anniversary she arrived here 11 days later she
01:08:29.520 was bound for Ellis Island and the United States of America I want to show you a picture there's a
01:08:35.840 painting that I did and then I ran out of time and talent and so I asked a good friend of mine
01:08:42.760 to help me, Mike Malm, who is an amazing portrait artist. This is how I envisioned her coming into
01:08:53.700 the United States. She wasn't, she came here, she wasn't chasing fame, she wasn't chasing riches or
01:09:00.600 power. She came just for the opportunity. Her sister was already here and found a job. And so
01:09:06.400 she decided to come. She stood in this room and wrote her name down, Mary Ann McLeod. And next to
01:09:13.340 it, what's your job? Domestic. She and her sister were maids. She came to America knowing that she
01:09:23.380 would serve and clean the houses and the toilets of the wealthy families here in New York. And she
01:09:29.760 roomed with her sister together, and they lived and worked hard through the worst days of the
01:09:35.860 Depression, and she persevered. She's here for six years, and she meets a man. She marries him. His
01:09:43.680 name is Fred. He was the son of German immigrants. In 1942, she became a citizen, and Mary and Fred
01:09:53.260 Fred would end up having five children, two daughters and three sons.
01:09:59.620 And one of those sons, they named him Donald.
01:10:15.860 Her son would become a real estate tycoon.
01:10:21.320 Her son would change that skyline.
01:10:26.940 That's the skyline that she saw.
01:10:29.220 Look out that window and look at that skyline.
01:10:32.200 Her son, a woman who came here as a maid, the lowest of jobs, would raise a son who

01:14:54.520 of her trying out because she's trying out
01:14:57.060 and she is like holding onto the heads
01:14:58.760 of her little children

01:15:35.400 written the lyrics for um one was on the Statue of Liberty um and unfortunately you know the um
01:15:43.140 real America's voice didn't take the screen so you couldn't see the lyrics on the screen
01:15:49.360 in English um but you know the first story was about a woman coming from France a mother
01:15:56.260 knowing what's happening to her country and knowing the potential and the power of america
01:16:02.380 and seeing that america is asleep and it's a mom going to the mother of exile saying please wake
01:16:08.740 your children please wake your children remind them who they are um they got to save the world
01:16:13.880 again um and then uh derek and grace get up you know they came with pockets full of nothing they
01:16:19.560 came and they came for the hope um and uh they were just just great just great grace i met grace's
01:16:28.280 dad she was so proud he was so proud of her did you meet him yeah he was begging to meet you but

01:20:04.440 so uh we were just talking in the break somebody asked if i uh have gotten the painting
01:20:15.140 so yeah if i've gotten the painting can you send that to somebody um if i had gotten the painting
01:20:20.980 to the president yet uh and i haven't and it's not easy to move around with the painting uh it's
01:20:27.440 because it's enormous it's a you know like almost two and a half by what five feet two and a half
01:20:32.560 yeah i think by five feet um painting of his mother as i envisioned her on the ship coming
01:20:39.820 into the harbor across you know from the from the new york skyline into ellis island um she left
01:20:48.900 the anniversary of her leaving scotland to get here was on saturday and you know we had hoped
01:20:56.620 that the president was going to be able to to be there um but you know even tulsi gabbard wasn't
01:21:02.560 wasn't there she was she was also um had security risks so she couldn't be there either um but um
01:21:09.440 i haven't gotten it to him yet i don't know when i'm going to i only have a couple of days here
01:21:14.680 and he's up in washington and this painting is not actually easy to move uh and i want to be i
01:21:20.420 mean i want to be there when i give it to him because i think you'd be amazed by it you're
01:21:24.300 coming back to florida though not that i want to know where you're going all the time but yeah you
01:21:32.500 are coming back to florida and we'll see if he's going to be at mar-a-lago that way we don't have
01:21:36.300 to ship that dang thing all over the country it is it is very heavy i i was terrified that uh
01:21:42.820 jeremy and rafe were going to uh drop it yeah yeah i wasn't though they're they're both they're
01:21:50.040 both they were both responsible um but i can't wait for him to see it i've i've asked everybody
01:21:55.320 there's a few people at the white house that have seen it that i've sent it to and i said hey
01:21:58.720 please don't share this with him i had to share it with his uh with his daughter-in-law actually
01:22:04.360 they asked the entire family if you got the image correctly so i'm sure at this point he knows oh
01:22:10.620 really oh no no no there's no i'm bummed i'm bummed no i didn't know they went to the whole
01:22:16.540 family they asked the whole family and everyone was like we don't actually know so it's our best
01:22:23.240 guess yeah because this is a you know this is based on old images of her uh and you know i
01:22:30.020 wanted to make sure somebody in the family had seen it like is i mean does that do her justice
01:22:35.340 and apparently they i don't know if they don't have a lot of photos from that time period i mean
01:22:40.000 because she was poor when she came here she looks stunning and i actually think i i think i said she
01:22:46.060 looks hot and someone on laura trump's team's like yeah she looks like a total babe so good she does
01:22:51.320 doesn't she i mean in that in the i mean you know i'm just saying i you know painted a babe
01:22:58.380 i'm just saying trump will appreciate that yes yes but it's uh it's cool and at the bottom of
01:23:04.780 the painting it says marianne mcleod may 11th 1930 ellis island new york city mother of president
01:23:11.540 donald j trump uh can you tweet that out for me i mean you're gonna see it anyway apparently
01:23:16.820 everybody else has seen it can you just tweet the picture of that out um and uh anyway immigration
01:23:25.600 only in america could you come as a maid and the next generation be a billionaire and also the
01:23:32.960 president of the united states only in america i could i could i could go over and say i'm an
01:23:37.700 englishman my whole life but they never think i was english you're probably like most people most
01:23:42.480 people you know don't want any trouble they avoid it they walk away from it when they can they
01:23:46.160 de-escalate it whenever it's possible and hope it never comes looking for them.
01:23:50.040 That's the right instinct.
01:23:51.240 But sometimes trouble doesn't care, you know, what you want.
01:23:55.260 It shows up in a parking garage, you know, on a dark walk home at your front door late
01:24:00.880 at night or a few seconds, you know, it just sits there and then it decides you look like
01:24:06.280 an easy target.
01:24:07.660 That's why I want to talk to you about Burna.

01:25:54.140 Hello, America. It's Monday.
01:25:56.100 We're going to get an update on Iran, what is happening there.
01:26:00.660 Two merchant ships have successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz today.
01:26:05.520 U.S. flag, that's according to CENTCOM.
01:26:08.280 We are going to be escorting other ships through.
01:26:12.320 Of course, Iran is, you know, saber rattling whatever saber they have left.
01:26:17.360 But President Trump has said it's time for these ships that, you know, have nothing to do with this to be able to get through and get out of there.
01:26:25.380 And so we're escorting them.
01:26:27.960 Iran has proposed two different peace treaties.
01:26:31.860 We've rejected both of them.
01:26:33.100 They're not really moving much.
01:26:34.540 We'll get the latest on this coming up in just a second.
01:26:37.400 And also, some of these lefty organizations that are funneling money into some of the worst things possible.
01:26:47.560 Texas has had enough.

01:28:07.440 latest from uh texas attorney general ken paxton he just dropped the hammer uh on act blue this is
01:28:14.700 the the democratic machine the massive small donor donation machine um the the details uh that we
01:28:23.480 have gone through on this program on some of our specials in the past just makes your blood boil
01:28:29.280 paxton's lawsuit accuses act blue of flat out lying to americans about its safeguards you know
01:28:36.840 they claim the the um they screen all of the donations they brag about stopping fraud blah
01:28:42.380 blah blah but the evidence shows nope they're wide open for fraud wide open for fraudulent
01:28:47.940 contributions prepaid uh cards gift cards and most damning foreign donations that federal law
01:28:55.940 explicitly forbids. When is this country going to get serious about this?
01:29:03.220 Seriously, when are we going to get serious? No other country would allow this to happen.
01:29:09.700 We all know the real money behind a lot of this stuff is coming from China. What happened this
01:29:15.060 weekend? Chinese money, Russian money, Iranian money, former Venezuelan money, all the people
01:29:21.280 who are hostile to us and quite honestly some of the frenemies that we have that despise
01:29:27.220 american sovereignty but love buying influence over here and it's not conspiracy theories
01:29:32.380 the house has been investigating these straw donor schemes that illicit money is funneling
01:29:39.360 through countries like china into platforms exactly like act blue least least paxton's
01:29:46.300 doing something in texas why isn't everyone doing this why is no one seemed to be concerned about
01:29:52.080 all the foreign money here millions and millions and millions of dollars hundreds of millions
01:29:57.940 pouring in from overseas actors who have zero business meddling in our in our republic none
01:30:04.780 it's against the law can you imagine what china would do if we had been sending a billion dollars
01:30:12.640 over to China, and we were undermining them, and they had clear proof of it.
01:30:17.320 Can you imagine what would be said?
01:30:19.160 Why are we acting like this is no big deal?
01:30:22.980 Act Blue, let me stay on this one for a second.
01:30:25.100 It processes billions of dollars for Democrats.
01:30:29.260 If even a fraction of that is tainted by foreign cash,
01:30:33.340 then every race they touch is compromised.
01:30:37.020 What a surprise.
01:30:38.100 but it's not just the rotting of our ballot box these same people especially the Chinese
01:30:47.060 Communist Party they have been dumping billions into our education system for decades and nobody
01:30:53.580 cares do you know that 12 billion dollars from China and Qatar alone has gone into our universities
01:31:00.000 do you just trust Chinese money in our university you think that's helping or do you think that's
01:31:05.580 propping up marxism and all the great things that china is doing and qatar qatar i know some people
01:31:12.720 absolutely love them i'm not a fan of qatar you know i kind of remember al jazeera anyway that
01:31:20.140 money is going into harvard and stanford and nyu and columbia they're all on the take tell me the
01:31:26.620 good things that have come out of that program have you ever heard of confucius institutes
01:31:32.960 okay confucius institutes and and classrooms this is the chinese communist party propaganda
01:31:42.500 they have funneled 158 million dollars while pushing anti-american narratives self-censorship
01:31:51.240 marxist ideology all disguised as cultural exchange all into our universities they shape
01:31:58.920 the curriculum. They've trained generations of students to hate America, the country that
01:32:06.860 educated them, and to cheer for the regime that is paying all the bills. It's poison. It's pure,
01:32:14.880 deliberate poison. And it's not about elections. It warps our culture from the classroom up.
01:32:24.660 Again, I ask, why is no one doing anything about this?
01:32:29.560 Why?
01:32:34.400 Kids who will graduate, they will graduate believing the United States is the villain
01:32:39.660 and that the rich are the enemy, while the real puppet masters are in Beijing and Shanghai
01:32:47.640 laughing all the way to the bank spending billions to convince our kids that
01:32:54.340 look at what happened over the weekend i can't say this enough
01:32:59.120 look at the mayday rallies that swept the country really did they sweep the country
01:33:04.360 hundreds of groups with two billion dollars in revenue behind them can i ask the tea party did
01:33:14.120 we even have a fraction of a billion dollars i mean did we even have a hundred million i i question
01:33:23.420 whether the entire tea party movement had over five million total they had two billion dollars
01:33:30.860 and they're using it to scream tax the rich abolish ice march against american capitalism
01:33:36.040 and nobody's saying anything why why they'll block our streets they'll shut down schools
01:33:43.800 to lecture us about workers over billionaires, but who's funding all of it? Who's funding the
01:33:50.160 signs? Who's funding the logistics? Who's funding the professional organizers? We know
01:33:55.620 dark money networks that are tied directly back to Neville Roy Singham. He's the tech tycoon that's
01:34:05.100 in Shanghai. He's dumped an estimated $278 million into far-left groups, the Democratic Socialists
01:34:13.400 of america uh the people's forum code pink and others that will parrot the chinese communist
01:34:21.020 talking points it's a quarter of a billion dollars do you know what a quarter of a billion dollars
01:34:28.600 can buy these days it buys these useful idiots who will rail against american wealth while the
01:34:38.640 protest machine runs on millions and billions of dollars from foreign adversaries who want us
01:34:46.780 divided and weakened and distracted. That's why they don't have a problem with Iran or Russia or
01:34:51.560 China. Notice they're not protesting against those guys because a lot of the money is coming from
01:34:57.320 those guys. It is the ultimate hypocrisy and stupidity. And it seems like our own government,
01:35:05.520 the ones that are supposed to be protecting us from this stuff,
01:35:08.700 they're on some sort of a suicide mission.
01:35:14.280 Now, this money, same foreign cash,
01:35:17.940 that allegedly slips into ActBlue to elect politicians,
01:35:21.860 it floods our universities and indoctrinates our activists,
01:35:26.620 you know, now bankrolling street theater
01:35:28.680 that attacks the system that these regimes fear
01:35:35.500 and envy. They can't beat us, so they have to destroy us. Enough. Can somebody in Washington
01:35:43.020 say enough? Should we ever, ever, ever take a dime from China, Russia, Iran, or any regime
01:35:51.420 that wishes us harm and allow it to be in our political system or educational system or our
01:35:57.840 culture. No, no money for elections or education or culture or any of that. None.
01:36:09.900 Texas is standing up. Ken Paxton is standing up. I guess Washington is still looking into it.
01:36:18.300 This is foreign interference on steroids and it's in broad daylight. And why are the people,
01:36:26.060 you know we should we should start arresting anyone who is taking knowingly taking this money
01:36:33.260 from foreign governments and doing the bidding of foreign governments we should pass laws that
01:36:40.280 if we need to i think there are already plenty of them but we should start passing or enforcing
01:36:45.020 the laws that say no foreign cash in any of this stuff and if you have a politician who's like we're
01:36:50.320 going too hard on china we're going you know what that that should be the last election this person
01:36:55.900 ever faces. The American people need to understand, oh, your politician won't stand up against Sharia
01:37:01.560 law. Well, not everybody should be asking their politicians, when you get into office,
01:37:06.880 will you pass a bill against Sharia law? When you get in office, will you stop the Chinese cash from
01:37:14.300 coming into our universities and into our political process? Will you do it? It's easy.
01:37:21.000 No ifs, ands, or buts.
01:37:22.500 Yes, no.
01:37:23.580 That's it.
01:37:24.600 Which one is it?
01:37:25.900 For both of those.
01:37:26.780 Should be a pretty easy yes for both of those things.
01:37:29.900 It is beyond time that our justice system does what it's supposed to do.
01:37:34.780 Name names.
01:37:37.320 Rat it out.
01:37:38.840 Follow the money all the way back to Beijing and to Doha, to the front groups, to the useful
01:37:46.660 idiots that are on the payroll, because there's lots of them.
01:37:49.600 Ken Paxton doing his part in Texas Congress you have the same report DOJ FEC you have all the
01:37:56.460 tools you're going to do it you're going to shut it down you're going to expose it you're going to
01:37:59.420 prosecute it because if we don't rip this foreign poison out by the roots it's not going to just
01:38:06.040 sway one election or one campus it's already hollowing our republic out from the inside
01:38:12.540 and there's there's not going to be anything worth fighting for in the end it's our country
01:38:17.740 our country not their country what do you say we just do the reasonable things and take it back
01:38:25.640 the things this is what we have to demand demand our doj stop the foreign influence money
01:38:31.940 and again any politician that fights against it or expose you know or fights against exposing it
01:38:39.240 this is not partisan you shouldn't be in office
01:38:45.060 this is not the democrats or the republicans this is americans deciding what our future is
01:38:52.500 not china not doha or anybody else but americans deciding what our future is
01:38:58.940 get the foreign influence out before it's too late america more in a minute
01:39:05.780 that was so divisive oh my gosh he's now he would says no chinese money in politics
01:39:14.140 how do you argue about the how how how is it we're not on the winning side every time

01:40:31.360 uh let me get an iran update from uh jason uh jason oil has gone up and i don't know why
01:40:49.520 as we're starting to say we're escorting ships uh close to oman um and uh we're escorting them
01:40:59.000 and there have already been a few of them that have gone through
01:41:01.820 with the American flag on the back.
01:41:04.340 And why is oil going up, you know?
01:41:06.400 Do we have Carol on with us next?
01:41:08.420 We're going to ask her that.
01:41:09.280 What else is going on in Iran?
01:41:13.340 So the Trump administration has announced Project Freedom,
01:41:16.280 like what you were talking about,
01:41:17.700 in an effort to take all of these ships,
01:41:19.840 many of these countries that have not weighed in either way at all on the Iran war,
01:41:23.560 but they've just been stuck there to escort them through the Strait of Hormuz.
01:41:27.180 A lot of people were curious on where this was actually going to happen or how it was going to happen through the Strait of Hormuz.
01:41:33.020 But we just got this morning, there was a maritime report sent out from a UK-based organization that kind of showed where that was.
01:41:40.800 So basically, they're sticking towards as close as they can to the Oman side through Omani territorial waters.
01:41:48.460 And that's how they're getting through now.
01:41:50.260 I'm not sure why oil prices would be going up.
01:41:52.960 There was a rumor this morning that the Iranians had fired some missiles at an American warship, and that was going all over social media this morning.
01:42:02.600 CENTCOM said that's completely false, that that did not happen.
01:42:05.340 So there is that.
01:42:06.660 But I don't know if that affected oil prices at the start of that or what, but that now, as per the DOD, is not true at all.
01:42:14.520 You know, it's amazing how people just don't look to the future.
01:42:17.020 Here's a guy who is changing OPEC, changing the way oil works, opening up oil fields, you know, drilling sites, bringing the world a new system.
01:42:27.840 And based on what we know works, oil, and everybody's bitching about gas prices.
01:42:34.020 When gas prices went up last time, I didn't hear a lot of bitching about, not like this, gas prices going up.
01:42:41.020 You know, you didn't hear the media say anything.
01:42:42.960 And why were gas prices going up that time?
01:42:45.620 because they were closing all of our power plants they were closing our refineries they were shutting
01:42:51.560 down um our our drilling uh systems they they were they were shutting our our coal fire um
01:43:00.980 electricity plants and and then tearing them down they had no plan for the future they had no plan
01:43:07.920 and yet nobody was looking at it then long term and going hey you can't do that that's a really
01:43:13.500 bad idea for the future and once again now we're in the opposite situation we just look at the the
01:43:19.000 price of gasoline we're like oh well that's got to stop no well sometimes you know a short-term
01:43:24.580 pain for some gain here on long term if we can get done what he's trying to do this is a really good
01:43:31.080 thing i don't you know again i don't want to be the the flag bearer for you know high gas prices
01:43:38.780 and war but i mean we're in it it's it's almost like we just oh just suicidal at times i'm not
01:43:46.200 in a good mood today i guess because i'm just seeing this and and and then then i see the
01:43:50.240 report from england did you see the latest you know nato in nato trump is pulling out
01:43:55.620 what 5 000 troops in germany that leaves us that leaves us with about uh 30 000 troops
01:44:04.820 that's a significant number of troops to be pulling out i mean you still have 30 000 but
01:44:10.180 there's a lot of stuff that we do over in germany um and that's got to make the germans nervous and
01:44:16.760 it should make everybody nervous over there i don't know if you saw this parliament actually
01:44:21.320 said on the record they can fight an all-out war for 10 days 10 days um the defense has come out
01:44:31.060 and said you know the the defense um ministers have come out and they've all said uh it's about
01:44:37.340 a week that's seven days uh senior officials that have been talking out said they have several days
01:44:43.380 that's five days of fighting they don't they're they're not replenishing any of their supplies
01:44:49.580 they don't have anything more than five to ten days of all-out war i mean that's a sitting duck
01:44:56.440 what good are what good are they as allies you can't even protect yourself for more than five
01:45:02.280 days holy cow and that's that i mean that's why go ahead that's part of the this ridiculousness
01:45:11.900 of the entire nato relationship because why would they you know why would they prepare for a
01:45:17.460 sustained conflict when they've got you know big brother united states to come and protect them
01:45:21.960 Meanwhile, while they never concentrate on that, they've got a ton of social welfare programs they can throw all that money into.
01:45:28.660 And that's what they've been doing since World War II.
01:45:30.720 That's enough of that.
01:45:32.400 We have paid for all of their social welfare.
01:45:36.880 By paying for all of their defense, they were able, and they still spent themselves into oblivion.
01:45:44.360 I mean, you know, at least ours was corruption.
01:45:47.360 I'm convinced that our debt would be way, way small.
01:45:51.180 Way small.
01:45:51.960 our national debt uh if it wasn't for all this corruption i'll bet you a third of it
01:45:56.760 is is all just in money that was corrupt and i don't i don't even mean corrupt like hey we gave
01:46:03.420 it you know for you know turtle tunnels and experiments on you know african tribes and
01:46:10.460 lesbians and i mean actual just corruption i think a third of it um what did they spend it on
01:46:19.220 you get the national health care system of england really congratulations at least you got that
01:46:25.660 wow all right more in a minute carol roth joins us next talk about the economy what's coming
01:46:33.500 all right if you've ever experienced this situation starts out you know you know feeling
01:46:39.100 simple you're buying a house uh you know or maybe you're selling one as the process goes on the
01:46:44.120 numbers get bigger and the decisions get more complicated and the time is passing and you're
01:46:48.220 like okay a lot is riding on this uh that happens a lot and that's the moment where you know the

01:48:11.580 welcome to the glenbeck program we're glad you're here uh thank you so much for listening with
01:48:19.400 everything that's going on in the world and there's a lot want to bring carol roth in uh to
01:48:23.960 talk a little bit about um well let's start with oil why did oil go up today uh carol when the
01:48:30.440 president announced he was opening up and and protecting some ships going through you know
01:48:35.980 So I think there's something you've heard of the boy who cries wolf problem, right? And unfortunately,
01:48:43.600 I think that the president has a little bit of a straight will be open and safe problem.
01:48:50.440 You know, some investors may put it to the side. And sometimes you see that in the stock market.
01:48:55.700 But the hardcore investors, those who are in the bond market, those who are in the commodity market,
01:49:03.360 they are looking at not what the president is saying directly, they're reading between the
01:49:08.580 lines, and they're taking note of his actions, because the president happens to be very transparent
01:49:14.360 if you know what you're looking for. And basically, every time the yields on the 10-year
01:49:20.540 get into the range of about 4.4%, the administration, led by a very smart guy at the
01:49:27.640 Treasury and Scott Besant starts to worry that we're going to have bond market dysfunction.
01:49:33.500 And so the president comes out and says, everything is going to be good. Everything is
01:49:38.680 going to be wrapped up here soon. We're taking care of everything in an effort to get those
01:49:44.900 yields down and to buy them a little bit of space and a safety buffer. And if you are in the bond
01:49:51.500 market, you're in the commodity market, you've noticed this pattern. And at some point, you don't
01:49:56.160 believe it anymore. And obviously, the longer that this goes on, and the more tail there is,
01:50:03.220 there's going to be on cost and economic consequences. So I think that you have,
01:50:08.540 you know, in certain markets, or, you know, certainly, each one is individual in terms of
01:50:13.220 how they're digesting information, it has different focuses. But I think that they have caught on to,
01:50:19.020 you know, every time we hit this level, this is what the administration says, but we're not
01:50:23.280 actually seeing an end to this conflict and you know investors who are very focused on geopolitics
01:50:31.680 and oil and gas you believe that the strait at this point is closed indefinitely and that there's
01:50:37.600 no clarity about what an opening date is really going to happen so even if ships apparently three
01:50:44.040 american flag ships have gone through even if ships are going through now none of them had oil
01:50:49.880 I think. But yeah, so, you know, obviously there would have to be a long extended, you know, not
01:50:57.360 a one off situation or a three off situation, but there would have to be a return to some sense of
01:51:04.200 normalcy and flow. And even then, that doesn't mean that there's, you know, definitely an end
01:51:10.000 to the conflict. But, you know, that within the context is going to have a different read in terms
01:51:16.260 of the market. And look, the reality is, Glenn, that the cost of gas and the cost of oil on a
01:51:24.620 worldwide basis should be higher at this point in time. There has been a lot of concerted efforts
01:51:30.140 in terms of strategic petroleum reserve releases across the world and other efforts to try to keep
01:51:36.640 this down and keep a lid on it during the conflict. So even at the high levels that we're at, it could
01:51:43.080 be worse and i think that again that's part of the calculus is how much runway is there to keep
01:51:50.240 a lid on this over time and obviously the longer that it goes on the more you know longer term risk
01:51:55.960 there is so the flying bananas are done this uh this weekend spirit airlines is uh is out and
01:52:04.100 elizabeth warren when you know when she announced this with uh with joe biden that they weren't
01:52:09.380 going to merge with jet blue uh she said that's a win for the republican win for biden well it's
01:52:16.160 not a win for anybody who had you know tickets on a cheap airline to go someplace to go see grandma
01:52:21.440 or go back to school or whatever it was that's not a win for you today all these people have
01:52:26.660 lost their jobs the airline is closed the only ones that will win are the bigger airlines
01:52:31.160 yeah the thing about the elizabeth warrens which has
01:52:35.880 progressivism but basically liberalism in general at this point is that they are always wrong and
01:52:43.580 never in doubt and this is a very dangerous combination because you know you can have this
01:52:50.120 moral preening but it doesn't replace economic reality and they are so decoupled from the
01:52:57.380 economic reality, either because they don't understand or because they don't care that they
01:53:02.560 get to be Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons. Oh, I did a thing. I helped. And no, you did not help.
01:53:08.240 They take their victory lap. And then what happens is that long term, everybody suffers
01:53:13.900 the consequences. M&A is part of my background. I'm a recovering investment banker. We see this
01:53:20.520 all the time. You have a company that needs a lifeline and another company steps in and it's
01:53:26.440 letting the market sorted out. Does it mean that that would have worked? I don't know. It's 50-50,
01:53:33.960 but at least there would have been a chance. What they did is they took a struggling company
01:53:39.220 and they said, no, you cannot have that lifeline. Look, we did a good thing. And like you said,
01:53:45.040 now we have less choice. Now we have people who are out of a job. Now we have less of an
01:53:51.040 opportunity for this to work its way out in the markets and in the system. And this isn't just
01:53:58.100 about M&A. This is about minimum wage. This is about rent control. This is about every time
01:54:06.240 they don't understand or don't care about economic reality, they want to do a thing.
01:54:12.020 They want to do their Ralph Wiggum thing and be helping. And they're not helping and they're
01:54:15.860 making it harder for americans to thrive to be successful and in some cases just to to afford
01:54:22.740 the cost of living and unfortunately that's where we're at today well but you can't i'm sorry but i
01:54:30.180 can't i can't give them the benefit of the doubt on this because every time i mean the the facts
01:54:37.220 are out about minimum wage they're going to go and say there needs to be a minimum wage now
01:54:41.940 there we're going to try to pass it in congress again um no especially not a national minimum
01:54:47.860 wage what what somebody can live on in preston idaho is different than what somebody can live
01:54:53.180 on in new york city that makes no sense whatsoever you put a national living wage together and it's
01:55:00.420 25 bucks the people in small towns of america you will lose those jobs you will lose many of the
01:55:07.080 jobs in the big cities because people can't afford that as a business. And the proof is there.
01:55:14.940 They just never seem to want to look at it. Yeah. I mean, if you recall, I'm with you on this. If
01:55:20.920 you recall, my second book was the war on small business, which talked about what happened during
01:55:25.980 COVID and how there was this direct attack on the small businesses of the world. And the intention
01:55:32.420 behind it is that small business equates to freedom. You know, small businesses are very
01:55:38.400 independent, they're scattered geographically, and individually, they don't have the funds
01:55:43.940 to support these candidates and the lobbying efforts and, you know, quote, unquote, you know,
01:55:49.600 legally launder money, the way that big businesses can. And so, you know, they always talk about how
01:55:56.960 it's Main Street's term, and we're here for the backbone of the economy. But at the end of the
01:56:01.780 day they're not thinking about the economy they're thinking about their power and what consolidates
01:56:06.440 their power is being in bed with the big guys which is why we have corporatism instead of
01:56:11.740 capitalism these days and it seems to me that um these companies need to go through with it i just
01:56:20.320 saw an interview with the mayor of seattle and she's like starbucks is not going to move they
01:56:24.900 need us they need to be in seattle i don't think they do need you but they might have some loyalty
01:56:29.780 to seattle but i have to tell you if i heard some somebody who had been marching revolutionaries in
01:56:35.900 front of my business say that i would be so but i'm different i'd be like you know what wrap it
01:56:40.860 up gang we're moving i don't care where we're moving to we're going to move to tennessee we're
01:56:44.240 going to move to florida we're going to move to texas but we're moving that's it enough same in
01:56:48.620 new york you come after these corporations are they actually going to move do you think
01:56:56.840 I mean, we've seen it here in Chicago. Absolutely. Over time, they're going to be forced to do it.
01:57:02.220 Ken Griffin, who was the founder of Citadel, which is a major financial services firm, got absolutely fed up with what was going on in the state and the attempt to to milk businesses, milk the, you know, quote unquote wealthiest people.
01:57:15.600 And so he took his own tax base. He took a bunch of jobs and, oh, by the way, a lot of philanthropy.
01:57:22.100 You know, he gave a lot of money to improve the city. And what we're seeing is it's not only him, but other wealthy people who have left. And the burden is now falling to the middle and working class.
01:57:34.100 you have a bunch of people who are saying, I don't understand how my property tax bills keep
01:57:40.120 going up. I don't understand why everything is getting more expensive here. It's because they're
01:57:45.340 driving out the people who are giving the most dollars to the state in order to be able to
01:57:51.720 operate. You think the state is going to all of a sudden peel back its budget? No, they're just
01:57:57.020 going to continue to pass it on. So instead of growing the pie, they're shrinking the pie,
01:58:01.720 and you have to eat a bigger piece of it in this case the pie is not delicious glenn yeah and it's
01:58:07.780 sad because it are the ones who pay like spirit airlines it's the it's the poorest it's the
01:58:12.900 poorest people you know nobody rich you know is riding spirit airlines it's just the people who
01:58:17.320 are struggling you know day to day to get by who are or you know wanting to save money and spirit
01:58:22.380 airlines was there for them and now they're not um can i switch subjects go ahead oh sure go ahead
01:58:29.320 I was just going to say that they're going to, they're going to price people out of being able to take a vacation. The people who are at, you know, working hard, working class people are no longer going to be able to fly because the government had to get in the middle and say, I'm sorry, you can't have this choice.
01:58:47.180 exactly right exactly right um you know we did our big uh celebration for america's 250 or freedom
01:58:54.340 250 it's it's always confusing because freedom 250 is the conservatives doing something america's
01:59:00.180 250 is the big corporate uh you know and progressive thing that wants to keep america
01:59:05.800 kind of you know the american founding is problematic so we don't really want to focus
01:59:10.440 on that that's an actual quote um but you know i remember i'm old enough to remember the bicentennial
01:59:16.020 I remember in 1976, it was everywhere, everywhere, and there were products everywhere.
01:59:25.100 I don't even see, I don't see any marketing of this at all anywhere.
01:59:29.500 Do you?
01:59:30.660 So this is a crazy thing.
01:59:32.680 There was something that came out from Oreo in the last couple of days that they're doing
01:59:38.340 a special edition Oreo with red, white, and blue filling in the middle.
01:59:43.520 So, of course, my initial thought, like, OK, great. This is, you know, 250th anniversary celebration. Finally, we're going to see some merch. And no, they're doing it. They're calling it the firecracker popsicle edition instead of branding it with this huge celebrity.
02:00:01.440 no, huge celebratory milestone. And it's just as, you know, not only a patriot who would buy,
02:00:09.720 you know, every piece of merch that is out there because it's just, you know, fabulous and you
02:00:13.920 can't get your hands on enough red, white, and blue and things that celebrate America. But as
02:00:18.020 somebody who focuses today a lot on marketing and branding, you know, this is just leaving
02:00:23.700 cash on the table. And the fact that no one in corporate America is stepping in to this
02:00:30.760 celebration, I have seen almost no merchandise. And it's a shock because I would have thought
02:00:36.220 the second we hit January 1st, we would have seen the American flag, red, white, and blue
02:00:41.140 everywhere. It's been absolute radio silence. And now we have a product and they didn't even
02:00:46.420 put the branding on it. Yeah. It's crazy. I didn't even know that about Oreo. That is nuts.
02:00:52.440 If firecracker, what you can't say, I mean, who are you? Who else is marketing? I guess you can
02:00:57.440 market those to to france and england as well they're red white and blue but i mean you know
02:01:02.320 it's clear who they're for um thank you so much carol i appreciate it always good to let me tell
02:01:07.980 you about let me tell you about the relief factor you know if you're one of those people who have
02:01:12.640 lived with frequent or constant pain you've also rejected a few things out of hand the way i did
02:01:17.240 about relief factor for a long long time i mean necessity is the uh mother of invention
02:01:27.020 and we need some hard-headed you know types still need some convincing like me but we also need some
02:01:33.640 people like my wife who are like would you stop would just do it and that's what i did she had
02:01:38.780 heard the ads for relief factor i wasn't uh doing ads for relief factor she heard them and she said
02:01:44.060 why don't you try that i said it's not gonna work it's all natural it's not gonna work i got real
02:01:47.800 pain honey you don't understand man's pain and uh she's like uh-huh take this or i'm not gonna hear
02:01:53.120 you whine she said and i said it's not gonna work she said fine then it says three weeks just take
02:01:58.140 it for three weeks if it doesn't work well at the end of three weeks i was still like no i don't
02:02:01.580 think it's working i mean i feel better but i think it's just me she's like uh-huh so stop
02:02:05.560 taking it so i did pain came back and i'm like okay i'm gonna take it okay yes dear you were

02:02:17.140 you to get out of pain just try it try it for three weeks if it doesn't work you can stop taking
02:02:21.200 it. ReliefFactor.com. 1-800-4-RELIEF. 1-800-4-RELIEF. It's ReliefFactor.com.
02:02:32.980 You're going to be thinking about that for a couple minutes, huh? Glenn Beck will be right back.
02:02:51.200 you know if you're a long time listener unless you were listening to me locally you probably
02:03:03.520 found me maybe right after 9-11 that's when i started the national show i was supposed to
02:03:10.020 start in january 2002 um but dr laura was not talking about 9-11 she refused to talk about it
02:03:16.800 and the network said we have to talk about 9-11 so they moved me up and my start date up and um
02:03:24.020 i remember 9-11 i remember it being
02:03:26.780 and one of the scariest days of my life one of the scariest days i think you have your life too
02:03:33.540 if you were there and you remember it uh and because we didn't have any answers we didn't have
02:03:38.620 any answers we had the mayor of new york rudy giuliani and he was i thought he was an incredible
02:03:45.940 mayor but 2001 it was he changed he wasn't just the mayor of new york he was the mayor of america
02:03:53.560 for a while you know because it was you know the sirens wouldn't stop and the smoke was still
02:04:03.140 coming out of the pit and the families were waiting for answers that nobody could give and
02:04:08.040 And then he showed up, and he stood at ground zero with the firefighters, and he was covered in ash and the police officers that hadn't slept, and he told the country the truth the best he could.
02:04:25.800 We're going to get through this.
02:04:27.020 I don't know what comes next, but we're going to get through this.
02:04:29.160 And that mattered.
02:04:33.100 Leadership is not about having all the answers.
02:04:35.420 It's about showing up when everything else is falling apart and refusing to let people feel alone.
02:04:41.960 And Rudy Giuliani did that for New York.
02:04:45.160 And he did it for all of us, I think.
02:04:48.120 He reminded us what resilience was.
02:04:52.540 And he was the guy who just stood in the rubble and said, hey, tomorrow is coming and we're going to be okay.
02:04:58.580 He's in a hospital today.
02:05:00.260 He's in critical condition.
02:05:01.780 no matter what you think of Rudy Giuliani
02:05:05.500 and his politics
02:05:06.480 he took that moment
02:05:08.740 the entire country looked at him and he led
02:05:11.360 and to me
02:05:12.160 that's worth a moment of thanks
02:05:15.360 and a prayer for his
02:05:17.320 his future
02:05:19.780 Rudy Giuliani
02:05:21.280 keep him in your prayers
