A New York court ruled Tuesday that former President Donald Trump had committed fraud for years to build his fortune. Glenn explains why this is not a good thing and why we need to stand up, stand, and hold the line.
00:27:50.580Could make a personal residence out of it there's arguments that it could be worth even more just because you know I guess that's the way these things work though you'd think something that's generating millions of dollars of revenue would be worth more you know but I don't know that's what some of these experts are saying bottom line is Forbes estimated the value of this property at 350 million dollars just last year now some they also had some people who said it was worth around 200 million and some people who said it was worth up to 725 million.
00:27:50.600Trump's estimates were between 425 million.
00:27:51.600Trump's estimates were between 425 million.
00:27:53.600Trump's estimates were between 425 million.
00:27:54.600I think it was 612 million was his high estimate that he had used.
00:28:00.360Again appropriate and remember this isn't just hey Trump says and the bank does.
00:28:07.240The bank then assesses it themselves on a purchase like they look at this and they come up with their own number right and they might they don't have to just essentially believe Trump.
00:28:20.000They might say okay well he has he is known he's known of course he's known to it's the greatest thing ever built but well it's a it's a snack bar but it's the best golden snack bar you've ever had.
00:28:35.800Remember his grin looking up saying it was the best taco salad he'd ever had on Cinco de Mayo.
00:28:42.840And the thing about Donald Trump is we've only known this about him for half a century right like he has been in the public eye for nearly 50 years doing this.
00:28:56.240So this would not be a surprise now look is there a problem you know this is the type of thing that there is some evidence right like at times he has overblown the value of his properties and you could argue that but it's hard because he's also under sold them
00:29:13.240on different documents where that would be beneficial to him and that could be a problem for a business and that problem probably results in normal circumstances if you're caught which would be rare it would be probably a small fine.
00:29:27.900Right like that is the that's what this normally would be it would not be we're taking all of your buildings in New York City.
00:29:34.920We're dissolving your company which is what they're trying to do in New York right now.
00:29:40.040None of this makes any sense unless you apply the filter of knowing that Donald Trump is enemy number one to the people doing it.
00:29:49.380That's the only way this makes any sense whatsoever.
00:30:02.560These are the things that happen to people and because it's not happening to everyone here it is different.
00:30:08.880But what is happening to Donald Trump in many of these circumstances is very reminiscent of what's going on in these countries.
00:30:13.760And if you think they'll stop at Donald Trump I mean they're going to pull in the biggest fish of all and then care about you if they want it they'll take it.
00:30:22.480By the way he revoked the business licenses of some of Trump's companies and order receiver appointed to oversee the disillusion of those companies.
00:30:34.780Among those companies is Trump's flagship Trump Trump organization.
00:31:49.980As voters express deep concerns about the 80 year old president's age and fitness for office.
00:31:56.500Biden's team is taking extra steps to prevent him from stumbling in public as he did in June when he tripped over a sandbag at the Air Force Academy.
00:32:05.200With a physical therapist, Biden has been doing exercises to improve his balance as far back as November 2021.
00:32:15.140Since his stumble in June, he's been wearing tennis shoes more often to avoid slipping and using the short stairs at Air Force One, entering the plane on a lower deck than before.
00:32:43.920Maybe that is from the physical therapy that he's doing.
00:32:47.700So, also from the media, President Joe Biden appeared to slip while walking down the short stairs from Air Force One on Wednesday after staff mocked a report about how they were trying to prevent him from falling.
00:33:03.580While passed unanimously in the state Senate, the bill was nearly defeated in the state assembly's public safety committee.
00:33:13.100But California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a Republican-authored bill into law that makes trafficking minors a serious felony, marking an end to the saga of a bill that drew national attention when a small group of Democrats in the state assembly attempted to stop the bill in committee.
00:33:36.620So, now, last week, we had a bill that was all signed and ready to go that would make it illegal for you to not affirm your child's choice of gender.
00:33:51.480Your kids would be taken from you, right?
00:58:38.340And she said, well, they're giving me a choice.
00:58:40.780They said, if I keep seeing you, they won't fight for me to get my hormones and my transgender stuff.
00:58:46.920And so they said, essentially, they bribed her.
00:58:49.500And they said, pick your dad or pick becoming a boy.
00:58:53.440And I haven't heard from her since I guess she chose to become a boy.
00:58:59.520And so this is what they do with these kids, these vulnerable kids, is they really gang up and bully on these kids and to get them to transition.
00:59:09.240And it's, yeah, I mean, my daughter was a complete victim.
00:59:13.200But, again, this also destroys families.
00:59:15.000And that's also, I think, part of the intention is to destroy families as well.
00:59:21.140So to answer the question, no, I haven't seen her.
01:00:14.420And after a while of getting out of school and being, you know, just being out from underneath the thumb, she began to see things differently.
01:00:38.660Well, that isn't, yeah, and that's encouraging because that's, you know, I go through this with my conscious clean, and I hope that, you know, my arms are wide open waiting for her to come back after, you know, she's done whatever she's doing, which is terrible for herself.
01:00:57.060But, you know, I'm waiting here for her, and I would like to think that at the end of the day, you know, it's going to be those that affirmed her that she's going to resent, and she'll appreciate what I tried to do for her, even though I didn't succeed with her.
01:01:10.300But, you know, obviously, I'm so thrilled with what I'm seeing as we are succeeding in countries around the world, you know, in Europe, obviously, in the United States, so many states, and even in Canada, our federal government, or sorry, not government, they're the official opposition right now.
01:01:30.380But, you know, they passed a resolution, one of them being, you know, that they will never allow anyone under the age of 18 to medically transition.
01:01:37.940And so hopefully they do form government and they're way up in the polls. Right now, people want this stuff. But, but anyways, I guess, I guess this goes to the second part of my story.
01:01:49.620In some ways, I went through the first half pretty quickly. But so, so we get this ruling out of the BC Court of Appeal. And we're debating whether to appeal that to the Supreme Court of Canada.
01:02:03.060In fact, we kind of worked on it. And then we kind of decided, well, we sort of got this thing where we can sue the doctors.
01:02:07.940Down the road. Let's just leave it because the, the, the, the federal court in Canada is pretty loaded up with left leaning judges.
01:02:19.520And so we thought, well, we probably did better than the BC Court of Appeal than we will moving forward.
01:02:23.440So at that point, I fired my two lawyers, not because of this, but because to protect them.
01:02:28.280So I fired my two lawyers, got them off the record. And I said, okay, well, this, that's the end of the line legally for the moment.
01:02:35.440But I'm going to protect them. And I'm going to break all these gag orders. Because I thought, you know, the world needs to know what's happening to their kids in darkness in these schools.
01:02:46.060You know, as an example, it came out in affidavits that when my daughter changed her name, from her female name to a male name, I was under the impression that this was by her design.
01:02:57.760No, it was the school counselor that changed her name.
01:03:02.400Dad, can you hang on just a second? I'd, I'd, I'd love to bring you back on tomorrow and get more of the story and what parents should do.
01:03:10.600If you'd be willing to join us again tomorrow and back in just a second, American financing, NMLS, one, eight, two, three, three, four, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:03:20.920If you're like most Americans, by the time you pay your bills, refuel your car, buy groceries, there's just about nothing left.
01:03:28.760How often do you find yourself using a credit card to cover the essentials?
01:03:33.700The average credit card interest rate now is about 25%.
01:03:38.460That makes your debt even more expensive.
01:03:41.620And for homeowners, there is a better way.
01:03:43.900It's not right for everybody, but I would urge you to find out if it's right for you.
01:03:49.340Americanfinancing.net is helping people just like you get out from underneath that debt burden and start to realize significant savings.
01:03:57.160You could save $700 every single month.
01:05:18.900Last second qualification for Doug Bergamania.
01:05:21.300So, that puts a blowtorch to everything you were planning on doing, because I know it all revolved around, you know, my show at 9 p.m. tonight.
01:05:29.560But, instead, we'll be at 9 p.m. tomorrow, and we'll be giving you a recap of the debate with all of the voices that you've grown to love and trust now.
01:05:39.640We should note a Studios America power hour pregame.
01:05:44.040You can't really watch this debate sober.
01:05:46.120I mean, maybe if you're Glenn Beck and you've had a drinking problem in the past, perhaps you should skip the beer.
01:05:53.480But, if you don't, and you do occasionally partake, what better way to watch a debate than through a power hour?
01:06:02.080So, we're going to do a pregame power hour.
01:06:03.500It's going to bring you right up to the debate tonight, and then I'll have post-game coverage on YouTube.com.
01:06:08.420Will you be drinking still during the debate?
01:06:16.120And the post-game is YouTube.com slash Studios America.
01:06:18.840So, go there and follow the page, because we're going to be doing lots of extra broadcasts and live stuff throughout the debate season and into the election season.
01:06:40.680You already give me a daily headache anyway.
01:06:42.680Anyway, I will say, too, that one of the best arguments for watching this debate is we don't know what's going to happen with Trump.
01:06:50.620I mean, if the deep state, if the people really come after him and really do this and really put him in prison, you may need another candidate.
01:06:57.240And even if you like Donald Trump, you better figure out which one you like.
01:07:00.920So, I think these debates, while not as sexy and bringing the eyeballs because Trump's not there, are still really important.
01:07:08.280The next six months are going to decide whether we have a republic left anymore.
01:07:19.700She's host of the Liz Wheeler Show and author of a new book, which I can't recommend highly enough, Hide Your Children, The Marxist Agenda to Take Your Children.
01:07:28.160We were just talking to a dad, Liz, in British Columbia, who went to prison because he would not go along with what the state said had to happen to his daughter.
01:07:41.400And he's been fighting now for years and risk going back to jail just being on the program.
01:07:48.360Last time I saw you, Liz, we were talking about how, shoot, Governor, what's his name from California?
01:07:58.960Newsom was definitely going to sign this bill that was allowing the courts to take your kids away if you didn't identify their gender the way they say.
01:08:16.800Yeah, thanks so much, Glenn, for having me on today.
01:08:20.280I mean, the story of the father in Canada just makes me sick to my stomach to see a parent having their child taken away like that.
01:08:26.920And the sad and scary part is that's not an isolated incident that's starting to become more and more prevalent because this assault on our children is ramping up.
01:08:35.140I'll celebrate the fact that Governor Newsom didn't sign that bill, but I don't think it's a signal that he's a moderate.
01:08:41.360I think he's proven that he's a radical.
01:08:43.280This was a calculated political move on his part.
01:08:45.380He obviously wants to run for president, whether it's in 2024 or 2028.
01:08:50.200He's just hoping that he can convince some parents that he's not he's not trying to take their kids away from them.
01:08:56.980But if you read his veto letter that he wrote to the California Assembly, he literally says, well, the courts already have the power in California to do this.
01:09:03.700So there's no reason for me to sign this bill.
01:09:06.400So let me talk a little bit about wokeness and we'll get into some of the other things that are in your book, which is, by the way, fantastic.
01:09:14.660The origin of wokeness, where did it come from and how did it get into our schools with social emotional learning?
01:09:37.860I trace the origin of the word of the concept of the word back to a Brazilian Marcus, believe it or not, by the name of Paulo Freire.
01:09:47.180Paulo Freire didn't want teachers to teach children facts and knowledge in school.
01:09:52.900He said there was no such thing as objective truth.
01:09:55.340So all teachers were doing were teaching children the prevailing political narrative.
01:09:59.340And he proposed this idea, this radical idea that teachers instead teach children how to view the world, teach them a worldview.
01:10:08.180And he called this worldview critical consciousness.
01:10:11.300Now, critical consciousness is a worldview.
01:10:13.260It's teaching children to look at the world through a Marxist lens to categorize everyone as either an oppressor or oppressed.
01:10:20.120And Glenn, this critical consciousness is in our schoolrooms today, in classrooms all across the country.
01:10:26.200It's packaged in social emotional learning just under a different name, under wokeness.
01:10:32.360Social emotional learning is somewhat disguised as being values education.
01:10:37.420They claim, oh, it'll teach your child right from wrong, how to view the world.
01:10:40.760Well, yes, it will teach your child how to view the world, how to view the world through this same Marxist lens.
01:10:47.040And social emotional learning is not only in every school.
01:10:50.140It is pushed by the teachers unions, including Randy Weingarten, the teachers union boss of the second largest teachers union in the country.
01:10:59.660I remember in 2008, Barack Obama came into office.
01:11:03.480And when he came into office, there was a change in the union language that allowed teachers, because they were banned, if you were a communist or you had been a part of any group that was trying to cause a revolution in America, you couldn't teach.
01:11:51.800Listen, down in North Carolina, the state legislature had to change the language of some of the laws they had on the books, because this social emotional learning is almost like quack psychology when it's practiced by teachers on students or by school counselors.
01:12:06.920And they had to change the laws so that teachers couldn't be held liable if they were inflicting this on students.
01:12:13.980And I think we all know it's not every single teacher that's a radical Marxist.
01:12:18.560I'm sure there are a lot of well-meaning, well-intentioned teachers.
01:12:21.560But it's out of their hands at this point.
01:12:23.740They don't have dominion over what they do in the classroom or the curriculum that they teach or how they are supposed to shape these children's worldviews.
01:12:32.920It's dictated by either curriculum boards or by state legislatures.
01:12:40.200I mean, it's one of the reasons we see this mass exodus of teachers leaving the public school system, because they don't want to be part of that.
01:12:48.920Oh, Antonio Gramsci is such an interesting little man.
01:12:52.220He, and when I say that, he's a nasty little man.
01:12:55.120He was an Italian Marxist in Mussolini's Italy.
01:12:59.320He was actually put in prison in fascist Italy.
01:13:01.540He's the co-founder of the Italian Communist Party, and he's really the one, Glenn, who revived Marxism in the 21st century.
01:13:11.260Because Karl Marx's economic version of Marxism had kind of gone out of style for a while.
01:13:16.040But Gramsci, while he was in prison, was studying Marxism and recognized that when Marxist revolutions were successful, it wasn't because of economic discontent.
01:13:26.360It wasn't because the working class got so angry that they overthrew the ruling class.
01:13:30.060What happened first in these successful Marxist revolutions is the cultural institutions on which the people rely were demolished, were obliterated.
01:13:41.380And he named, among others, he named the media, the education system, religious institutions, the law, and the nuclear family, which probably gives everyone the chills to hear because we think, okay, that's exactly what's happening right now in the United States.
01:13:59.380As I'm reading through these prison notebooks of Antonio Gramsci in the course of researching this book, they were translated into English from Italian not that long ago, maybe 50 years ago.
01:14:09.800And I didn't notice the name of the man who translated them from Italian to English, probably the first dozen times I was reading this book.
01:14:17.840And all of a sudden, this name just hits me in the face.
01:14:20.840And I read translated by Joseph Buttigieg.
01:14:24.960Yes, that Buttigieg, the father of Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, brought Antonio Gramsci's cultural Marxism into the United States.
01:14:35.080And that explains an awful lot why Pete Buttigieg, who's obviously incompetent, is embraced by the left so deeply.
01:14:45.920And it's shocking that no one has uncovered that.
01:15:55.160But who came up with the Don't Say Gay campaign in Florida?
01:16:01.960Well, the origin of that phrase wasn't coined organically during the battle over the parental rights and education bill that we saw in Florida.
01:16:09.240The origin of that came from Planned Parenthood, believe it or not.
01:16:13.320Back in 2020, a similar bill had been introduced in the state of Missouri.
01:16:17.740And Planned Parenthood wrote a blog post, which, since I exposed it, they've since deleted, but you can find it on Internet Archive.
01:16:24.560And the reason for this, this might seem strange to us because we think of Planned Parenthood as an abortion business.
01:16:29.420But Planned Parenthood is now in the transgender hormone business as well.
01:16:33.800They're one of the largest providers of transgender hormones to young people, which is part of their pipeline.
01:17:00.800I mean, they're they're certainly the largest institutional groomer of our children that are both in public schools and then profits from kids when they come out seeking seeking either hormones or abortion.
01:17:11.380They're they're a really nasty lot over there.
01:18:55.100For every full ounce of fractional gold eagles purchased today, you're going to receive a free one-tenth ounce Platinum St. Helena Trust Series coin.
01:20:38.240James Clapper, not because I don't agree with your policy, but if you were part of something that was nefarious and illegal to influence an election or to thwart a president, bye-bye.
01:20:54.180Yeah, I mean, I think there's a real argument that Trump is going to dissolve this sort of, let's call it an understanding between both parties.
01:21:18.720Like, when you break it, you're supposed to be punished for it.
01:21:22.080I mean, if anyone is selling our country out and bribery, and I would put that with Mike Lee.
01:21:31.000If I found out that my friend Mike Lee was involved in bribery and getting money from some other country, and it went through regular court like I want all of these to go through, and it was fair, bye-bye, Mike.
01:22:30.240It is a system that started with Marines, now widely used by the military, and it helps improve your shooting quickly.
01:22:38.700You just attach it to the firearm, connect it with an app on your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth.
01:22:44.640Then whenever you're firing either actual rounds or dry-firing practice, it gives you instant feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct it.
01:24:05.980We have to stand together if we are to survive.
01:24:09.540Look, there is something going on, and we have seen from what has happened historically and to other countries in our lifetime, the destructive, end of the way of life kind of consequences that happen when you money print.
01:24:27.480And we're already seeing it in inflation and credible scholars now say it's coming here.
01:24:36.040I don't think any of us know how bad it's going to get.
01:24:38.480But if our government cannot cut 8% to 20% to return the out-of-control spending of 2019 pre-COVID, if they can't live off of that now, well, then honestly, due to the amount of destruction that is possible and likely, according to economic scientists,
01:25:02.200I propose we shut the government down, but only for 15 days to slow the spread of this out-of-control spending.
01:25:13.460We're talking to Chip Roy in 60 seconds.
01:25:16.760Let me tell you about a young woman named Leisha who found herself in an unplanned pregnancy.
01:25:40.720She didn't know what to do, but she knew she had to keep her child.
01:25:43.380She soon gave birth to a baby girl who is smart and beautiful and full of life.
01:25:49.200And often, Leisha visits that same clinic now because she gets free clothing, diapers, and so much more.
01:25:55.660This is the power of caring not only just about the baby, but caring about the mom, too, and seeing real life and knowing how to reach out and help them.
01:26:07.300Now, this happens about 200 times a day because pre-born is out there on the front lines.
01:26:12.560If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?
01:27:24.880And, you know, we have been moving forward since then, trying to get to the place where we can get where the American people want us to go, which is to actually cut spending, actually take the positions that we need to take and pass the laws we need to take to secure the border and force Biden's hand and go through the other issues.
01:27:44.240You and I both care about Department of Justice, weaponization, and so forth.
01:27:47.640You and I both talked about it on your show before.
01:27:50.140I know I can't get every single thing I want.
01:27:53.480But if we can't meaningfully cut spending along the lines of what you just described, meaningfully secure the border, meaningfully restrain DOJ, then I don't know why the hell we're here.
01:28:10.020Well, what I was going to say is we just passed a rule last night because of the 20, because of the Freedom Caucus, demanding that we move forward with regular order to move appropriations bills.
01:28:22.540There's a lot of good policies embedded in those appropriations bills limiting what Biden can do, constraining the use of dollars.
01:28:52.520If we believe in an open process and opening up and having amendments, you've got to let it play out, see what the end result is, and then look in the mirror and go, okay, is this good enough?
01:29:01.520And so for me, we're going to decide the next 40 hours, 48 hours.
01:29:06.060Are we cutting enough spending in these bills on the floor?
01:35:44.920Show me that we're going to hold the line on spending, as you've said you would do, and the border, as you're now publicly saying you're going to do.
01:36:00.900Move the DOJ, we call it CJS-approbes, Commerce, Justice, and Science.
01:36:05.260Move that through the House with all of the changes we need to put in place to restrain the Biden, you know, Merrick Garland Department of Justice.
01:36:18.360And if in the middle of that we need to have a cut to spending in the form of a stopgap funding measure that's attached to HR2 and border security, yeah, I'll support that.
01:36:36.020I will tell you that I've been waiting for this moment for about 15 years, and I hope that we are there in many ways.
01:36:47.340You know, Charles Sumner stood up in, I remember what it was, 1853, something like that, and he realized that neither the Whigs nor the Democrats were serious about doing anything to stop slavery.
01:36:59.580And he stood up in the well of the Senate, and he said, the South is sleeping with the whore of slavery.
01:37:06.500And I've been waiting for somebody to stand up and say, the Republican parties and the Democrats are sleeping with the whores of big business and special interests.
01:37:19.080Now, he almost was beaten to death because he said that.
01:37:21.740But what was interesting was both the Whigs and the Democrats were against him.
01:37:29.040And that's what gave birth to the Republican Party.
01:37:37.960And I really think, Chip, that this is the moment.
01:37:41.880And I don't think that the Republican leadership, I think that they believe they have, you know, all of the big business, the big, you know, the big donors and everything else.
01:37:55.520But all of those people are going to wake up to a very different world politically if this goes through.
01:38:06.400Well, and that's what I was trying to get out there, Glenn.
01:38:09.400I mean, like some of these things, just they are what they are.
01:38:11.840I know where the American people in the Republican electorate is.
01:38:15.100There are certain Republicans who take way too much comfort in their handful of their little circles of the sort of business establishment.
01:38:23.760And that is not where the American people are.
01:38:26.160The Republican Party has got to actually stand up for something again.
01:38:30.040We have to actually connect with the American people with a vision for what we want to do or go into the ashy of history and there will be a new party.
01:38:38.300But we can no longer continue to do this uniparty garbage where we are nothing but Democrat light.
01:38:45.300And that means, look, again, can I get the 33 percent cuts that you've got to get to non-defense, non-veteran spending in order to fully achieve 2019 levels?
01:39:18.620But if we can't do that, then why the hell are we here?
01:39:21.860Don't come talk to me about what you're going to do about Social Security and Medicare when you don't have the balls to cut the Department of Justice.
01:39:27.640Like, if you can't cut the frickin', you know, EPA, if you can't cut, you know, HHS and the bureaucracy there, if you can't cut this bureaucracy, you're never going to touch reforming Social Security and Medicare to make it work for people and make this country solid.
01:40:14.300Just like saying you can't cut, you know, and eliminate Ukraine funding or cut defense because, oh, there's some other special interests that don't like it.
01:40:23.540And frankly, at this point, we need to just do straight up across the board sequesters and do our job to drive the numbers down and then force us to the table to do the appropriations bills the way we're supposed to.
01:40:33.520But again, on a positive note, because of the work of conservatives, we're actually voting on individual appropriations bills with amendments this week.
01:40:43.340It's been a long time since we've really done that.
01:40:45.500So we're working it through the process.
01:40:47.880We're trying to drive the numbers down through the cuts and through the amendments.
01:40:52.180And then we've got to force the hand of leadership.
01:40:54.000And that's going to be the question over the next couple of weeks.
