Transcript

00:00:00.000 If you have an SUV, you better get to my Patriot Supply right now and prepare some emergency food.
00:00:07.660 Because of your SUV, anything could happen.
00:00:11.820 It could get hot.
00:00:13.040 It could get cold.
00:00:14.460 It could be moderate in between.
00:00:17.020 You never know what shoe might drop.
00:00:21.580 And then you're in trouble.
00:00:23.240 Do you see the Clorox bleach?
00:00:25.640 They're saying, hey, we're going to have a shortage because somebody hacked into us.
00:00:28.640 It's global warming.
00:00:31.500 Now, if Clorox bleach was something that you drank, would you have your supply at home?
00:00:38.920 No, probably not.
00:00:40.480 I would get some actual food and maybe a water filtration system or something.
00:00:46.860 You know what I mean?
00:00:47.460 Really easy.
00:00:48.240 You can find it all at MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:00:51.240 That's MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:00:53.460 2,000 calories a day for optimum strength under stress.

00:01:03.660 Now, MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:01:09.440 We got no room to compromise.
00:01:26.220 We got to stand together.
00:01:28.280 It's going to survive.
00:01:29.460 Stand up, stand, and hold the light.
00:01:37.220 It's a new day.
00:01:39.040 I'm trying to rise.
00:01:43.180 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:51.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:53.800 Hey, welcome to Tuesday.
00:01:55.900 Guess what?
00:01:56.460 I'm not on a new kill list.
00:01:59.700 Isn't that great?
00:02:01.000 Except I kind of feel like I'm not doing my job if I'm not.
00:02:04.780 I'm kind of.
00:02:06.060 I mean, there is a part of me that's like,
00:02:08.260 But shouldn't I be on that kill list if I was really doing my job?
00:02:12.880 So I'm torn.
00:02:14.060 Is this good news, bad news?
00:02:16.220 I don't know.
00:02:17.420 But I'll tell you about the new kill list
00:02:19.320 and how much money we're sending to those people.
00:02:22.480 Coming up in just a second.
00:02:24.520 First, I have Bill Blipson here.
00:02:28.560 He's just man on the street.
00:02:30.720 And Bill's got some pain that he's been working on.
00:02:34.860 And Bill, how long have you had this pain?
00:02:37.240 Oh, 412 years.
00:02:38.780 412.
00:02:39.880 Wow.
00:02:40.340 That's right.
00:02:40.820 How old are you?
00:02:42.100 412.
00:02:42.820 So you've had it since birth?
00:02:44.540 Immediate birth, yes.
00:02:45.620 Really?
00:02:46.380 Yes.
00:02:46.840 Wow.
00:02:47.160 Some doctors have pointed out the spear that is going through my leg.
00:02:51.160 Really?
00:02:51.480 It could be related to that.
00:02:52.660 It could be, but you don't think it is.
00:02:54.900 I don't think so.
00:02:55.680 No.
00:02:56.020 You know, this medical establishment.
00:02:58.180 Yeah.
00:02:58.480 You can't trust them.
00:02:59.280 You can't trust them.
00:03:00.220 Right.
00:03:00.740 Have you seen the Fauci guy?
00:03:02.440 So can I ask you, where were you born that you got a spear through your leg?
00:03:07.520 In a spear factory.
00:03:08.880 In a spear factory.
00:03:09.680 Yes, my father was a worker at a spear factory.
00:03:12.800 And your father gave birth to you?
00:03:14.880 Yes.
00:03:15.620 Why?
00:03:16.100 Is there a problem with that, Mr. Beck?
00:03:17.980 No, no.
00:03:18.000 I'm just saying.
00:03:18.580 Is there a problem?
00:03:19.580 No, I'm just saying.
00:03:20.440 Are you claiming?
00:03:21.160 So I am not claiming anything.
00:03:23.000 Men cannot have children.
00:03:24.720 I just want to know about your pain.
00:03:26.860 Yes.
00:03:27.020 On a scale of 1 to 10.
00:03:28.800 Oh, you might imagine it's a 10.
00:03:31.500 It's a 10.
00:03:32.240 It's a spear right in my leg.
00:03:34.180 Right.
00:03:34.360 Okay.
00:03:34.700 And that's unrelated to the pain.
00:03:36.120 Have you tried?
00:03:37.720 That's unrelated to the pain.
00:03:38.860 Yeah, I don't think it's caused from the spear.
00:03:41.180 I think it's 5G technology.
00:03:44.500 5G technology.
00:03:45.320 Yes, that's what I believe it is.
00:03:46.500 Have you tried Relief Factor?
00:03:47.900 I have not, no.
00:03:48.640 You should try it.
00:03:49.820 Really?
00:03:50.060 Yeah, it might not work for you.
00:03:53.660 But, you know, 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:03:57.960 So I would just suggest you try it for three weeks.
00:04:00.680 And if the spear pain and the 5G pain doesn't go away, it's probably not right for you.
00:04:07.380 Yeah, probably.
00:04:07.920 All right.
00:04:08.620 Okay.
00:04:09.120 Okay.
00:04:09.540 I'll give it a whirl.
00:04:10.280 Give it a whirl.
00:04:11.060 It's Relief Factor.
00:04:12.500 ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:14.220 Or you can call 800-4-4-Relief.
00:04:20.320 ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:21.680 Feel the difference.
00:04:23.280 Well, that was interesting.
00:04:25.560 How are you doing still?
00:04:27.360 I'm doing well, Glenn.
00:04:28.120 Thank you.
00:04:28.400 Good, good, good.
00:04:28.920 So you're not on a kill list?
00:04:30.340 I'm not on a kill list.
00:04:32.460 And it's disappointing.
00:04:33.900 You're losing your touch.
00:04:34.700 Wait a minute.
00:04:36.420 You're, you're.
00:04:38.340 I mean, you're on kill lists.
00:04:39.500 I've seen them, but I mean, you're not on this new kill list.
00:04:41.360 I'm not on the new one.
00:04:42.260 Okay.
00:04:42.680 No, I'm not on the new one.
00:04:43.700 And the new one has, uh, has just put, uh, you know, a friend of the program from Human
00:04:51.520 Events, uh, Jack Posobiec.
00:04:53.920 He's on the kill list now.
00:04:55.700 And, uh, the kill list.
00:04:58.260 Congratulations.
00:04:59.120 The kill list, uh, has targeted, uh, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and Glenn Greenwald.
00:05:06.980 When I saw Glenn in the article, I'm like, oh dear.
00:05:11.100 And then I saw Greenwald and I'm like, well, wait a minute.
00:05:13.780 I wasn't even nominated.
00:05:16.000 Um, and, uh, this list is called the peacemaker.
00:05:20.520 Now, when you hear the peacemaker, you think, oh, it's peaceful.
00:05:24.980 No, it calls for a retribution against perceived enemies of Ukraine.
00:05:30.480 Uh, and, uh, Posobiec is, uh, is pointed out that he's an anti-Ukrainian propagandist and
00:05:38.460 provocateur.
00:05:39.860 So he's going to be killed, uh, or at least that's what they're threatening.
00:05:44.040 And I love the fact that we're sending money over to a country that is developing kill lists
00:05:49.920 for Americans.
00:05:50.980 No, it's not, this is not an official government document, I assume.
00:05:55.260 Uh, this is, uh, let me see here.
00:05:57.520 This is, this is, this is, this is from the guy who is, you know, the woman who pretends
00:06:06.140 he's a woman, uh, who's an American.
00:06:08.620 Here, let me, let me just play.
00:06:10.660 Have you seen, have you seen the new he, she that is now, hmm, what?
00:06:19.440 The spokesperson for Ukraine.
00:06:21.720 I, I, I don't believe this.
00:06:23.980 Can I, can I come out and just come out formally say, not in that way, formally say, I don't
00:06:30.020 believe this is real.
00:06:31.360 I don't know how everyone tells me it's real.
00:06:34.240 We've checked it and no, this is really the Ukrainian spokesperson who just happens to
00:06:38.920 be a trans person.
00:06:40.500 Yeah.
00:06:40.760 Uh, that is, uh, it was an American, an American that went over to, I just don't believe it.
00:06:46.200 Ukraine.
00:06:46.780 I don't was in the army fighting and then pulled from the front lines.
00:06:51.140 That part I believe.
00:06:52.260 Yeah.
00:06:52.640 Pulled from that part makes sense.
00:06:55.380 From the front lines and then, uh, put in with the propaganda, uh, you know, and, and
00:07:00.620 ministry of, uh, information.
00:07:02.980 I just don't believe it's true.
00:07:04.540 So here, if you're watching, if you're watching us on blaze TV, this is worth the, uh, price
00:07:11.300 of admission for the month.
00:07:12.500 Okay.
00:07:13.040 You're welcome.
00:07:13.940 We're giving you a bonus by showing you the video of this.
00:07:17.860 Watch.
00:07:18.380 Russia hates the truth that their obsessive focus on a Ukrainian volunteer is simply allowing
00:07:23.640 the light of the Ukrainian nation's honesty to shine brightly.
00:07:27.420 Can we stop for a second?
00:07:28.340 Next week.
00:07:28.700 Can we just stop?
00:07:29.360 Can we just?
00:07:29.860 Come on.
00:07:30.640 This can't be real.
00:07:32.800 Let me tell you something.
00:07:34.780 I'm going to give Russia such a hit in a minute.
00:07:37.600 I, in a minute, I'm going to finish this and then I'm going to give, I'm going to slap
00:07:42.180 him across the face, all of Russia.
00:07:44.000 I'm going to do it and I'm going to look beautiful while I'm doing it.
00:07:50.420 Go ahead.
00:07:51.360 The teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder and the rabid mouths will foam
00:07:57.080 in uncontrollable frenzy.
00:07:58.480 Stop.
00:07:59.100 Stop.
00:08:00.620 Stop.
00:08:01.600 This can't be real.
00:08:03.740 It can't be real.
00:08:04.880 The rabid mouths are going to froth.
00:08:07.340 They're going to.
00:08:08.300 They're foam.
00:08:09.080 They're going to.
00:08:10.120 They're going.
00:08:10.520 Are they going to foam?
00:08:11.560 Is that what's going to happen?
00:08:12.380 They're going to foam.
00:08:12.960 They're foaming.
00:08:13.220 They're foaming at the mouth because they're rabid dogs.
00:08:16.600 And they're going to gnash their, they're going to gnash their teeth.
00:08:19.980 What?
00:08:21.700 It's legitimately impossible.
00:08:23.660 This is real.
00:08:24.240 This is real.
00:08:25.380 How can it be real?
00:08:26.700 I don't know.
00:08:27.640 I mean, look.
00:08:28.240 Stu, how can anything today be real?
00:08:30.800 But like, this is a country that, that didn't even allow gay marriage.
00:08:35.380 Like they, they're not.
00:08:37.140 I know.
00:08:37.340 This is not a progressive.
00:08:38.500 This is aimed to America.
00:08:39.860 I know, but come on.
00:08:42.820 When you, first of all, it's aimed to America.
00:08:44.620 It doesn't make any sense that they would, they would, they, they, they found a trans.
00:08:49.540 None of it makes sense.
00:08:50.680 It makes more sense to me that Russia is producing this specifically to try to make Ukraine look
00:08:57.960 bad.
00:08:58.800 That makes more sense to me.
00:09:00.060 This is where the kill list is coming from.
00:09:01.960 It is.
00:09:02.700 Hey, this is the kill list.
00:09:04.160 It's coming from that department right there.
00:09:07.080 Now go ahead.
00:09:07.800 He was talking about the uncontrollable frenzy.
00:09:10.900 What?
00:09:11.260 You were also the frothing.
00:09:12.740 Quiet.
00:09:13.540 Go ahead.
00:09:14.180 ...will foam an uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist
00:09:19.340 pay for their crimes.
00:09:21.800 And this puppet of Putin is only the first.
00:09:25.080 Oh my God.
00:09:25.520 Russia's war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down and justice will be served
00:09:30.340 as we in Ukraine are led on this mission by faith in God, liberty, and complete liberation.
00:09:36.720 Okay.
00:09:37.220 I just, I just have to, I just want to point out, we are led by God.
00:09:42.860 And even though the Ukrainian people do not agree with transgenderism at all because of
00:09:47.940 God, I'm their spokesperson.
00:09:49.980 And because we're led by God, we are going to hunt down these people who disagree with
00:09:54.820 us and kill them.
00:09:57.640 I mean, it is hard to believe.
00:09:59.600 So tell me, and this is, I've had quite a weekend, tell me what you believe.
00:10:07.220 Tell me what you believe in right now.
00:10:09.420 Tell me you can tell me the difference between truth and fiction on any topic.
00:10:14.620 I can't.
00:10:15.220 I mean, I can't.
00:10:16.500 No, I can't either.
00:10:17.660 I can't.
00:10:18.060 I can't.
00:10:18.520 I mean, I've seen this has been confirmed by all these media sources and I still don't
00:10:22.400 believe it.
00:10:23.100 You ever get that?
00:10:23.680 You ever get a story like that where you're just like, no, I'm just not going to believe
00:10:26.420 it.
00:10:26.600 I don't care how many times it's been proved.
00:10:28.160 I'm not going to believe it.
00:10:28.940 Yeah.
00:10:29.220 Yep.
00:10:29.640 That's where I am on this one.
00:10:30.620 Yep.
00:10:30.960 I'm on that.
00:10:31.680 I'm about just about everything right now.
00:10:33.320 I am looking at everything and I'm like, I don't know who to believe.
00:10:36.620 I don't know what to believe.
00:10:38.200 I came in yesterday and I looked at Stu and I'm like, I don't know what to believe.
00:10:44.880 Who am I to get on a radio and say, you know what?
00:10:48.040 This is the truth.
00:10:48.900 I have no idea.
00:10:50.600 It's a very strange world.
00:10:51.600 Well, I mean, just the guy in the dress with the hair and the guy in the dress with the
00:10:57.900 hair is the guy who made the kill list as well.
00:11:00.640 I don't know if he made it himself.
00:11:02.820 He might've been doing his nails or something else, but who made the kill list?
00:11:07.540 Well, it's coming from him.
00:11:10.080 He's saying that Tucker Carlson and what is Jack Posobiec are on a kill list?
00:11:15.480 Yeah.
00:11:15.740 You know, I was trying to rope him in.
00:11:17.820 Look how easily he just called him.
00:11:19.640 And he, you are misgendering.
00:11:23.160 Okay.
00:11:23.680 Cut two of the spokesperson.
00:11:25.640 Oh, more?
00:11:26.460 There has been much discussion recently related to my role within the armed forces of Ukraine.
00:11:30.580 Yes.
00:11:30.880 Senator Vance recently asked the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, along with the
00:11:35.280 Secretaries of State and Defense, if I was working in some capacity for the American government.
00:11:40.860 Believable.
00:11:41.180 Simply put, I'm an American serving as a Ukrainian infantry soldier and combat medic
00:11:45.800 who was brought from the zero line and assigned to the TDF's media team in the dual role of
00:11:51.620 spokesperson and Russian disinformation analyst.
00:11:54.980 The remaining speculation surrounding me is disappointing.
00:11:59.160 While in Ukraine, we are fighting for global liberty and the ideology of victory.
00:12:04.080 Too many in Moscow and across the world are still caught up in focusing on the tired trope
00:12:08.760 of gender chaos.
00:12:10.900 Ukraine is a nation of great...
00:12:12.580 Stop.
00:12:12.840 Stop.
00:12:13.080 Stop for a second.
00:12:13.480 Stop.
00:12:13.920 People who are critical of gender ideology use the term gender chaos.
00:12:19.340 That's what he said.
00:12:20.600 They're using the old tired trope of gender...
00:12:24.420 What did you say?
00:12:25.320 Chaos.
00:12:26.300 Yeah.
00:12:26.600 He's saying that was an old tired trope.
00:12:29.480 He's like, they're focusing on the old tired trope of gender chaos.
00:12:33.320 There is no chaos here.
00:12:35.240 The whole world makes sense.
00:12:37.260 I don't know.
00:12:38.080 Give me a cigarette.
00:12:39.620 I just gotta have a cigarette right now.
00:12:42.180 Highly suspicious.
00:12:43.100 I'm gonna kill you.
00:12:45.900 I'm gonna kill you.
00:12:48.560 Senator Vance, good questions to ask, I would say.
00:12:53.300 Because there's two things that would make sense here, sort of.
00:12:56.600 One, like, there's someone in our government saying, you know what?
00:13:01.220 Sure, we'll give you these billions of dollars.
00:13:02.800 One of the conditions is you have to appoint, as a spokesperson, someone in the LGBTQQIA2 plus community to show your tolerance.
00:13:13.080 That's believable.
00:13:13.540 You're telling me that there isn't somebody that you find this too hard to believe.
00:13:18.760 That there's somebody like, you know who we could get rid of?
00:13:22.240 We could get rid of all these people.
00:13:23.260 You can't do that.
00:13:24.340 You can't do that.
00:13:26.040 No?
00:13:27.600 We could put a guy pretending to be a woman that everybody is dismissing, and then give them whole bunches of money, and they can come and kill these people.
00:13:35.780 I mean, I'm not saying that's happening, but I'm not not saying that either, because I don't know what's happening anymore.
00:13:43.500 Could be like a Trading Places type of thing, where, like, there's a couple people, the old people with monocles, who are like,
00:13:49.400 what if we make them have a transgendered person come out as their spokesperson?
00:13:57.760 By the way, J.D. Vance is going to be joining us in about 10 minutes.
00:14:00.820 Oh, he is?
00:14:01.300 Yo, yeah.
00:14:01.660 Well, let's ask him about this.
00:14:03.020 No!
00:14:03.340 I don't believe it.
00:14:05.620 No.
00:14:07.020 We shouldn't ask him about this.
00:14:08.280 I would like to know.
00:14:09.180 That's not why he's coming on, is it?
00:14:10.780 He's not coming on to answer all this.
00:14:11.480 No, he's coming on about some other things.
00:14:13.000 Oh, that's what I thought.
00:14:13.660 My first question is, tell me about the Duton address with the kill list, and why are we giving them money?
00:14:20.780 If this is from the Ukrainian ministry of whatever, why are we giving them money?
00:14:28.600 Well, if it's an official document, anyone associated with it should immediately be fired, and we should withhold money until that happens, right?
00:14:39.040 I am so tired.
00:14:39.480 But these are American citizens you're talking about.
00:14:41.220 I'm so tired of you just blabbing.
00:14:43.200 I'm still listening to the...
00:14:44.480 I'm sorry.
00:14:45.280 ...spokesperson.
00:14:46.020 Go ahead.
00:14:46.360 Ukraine is a nation that embraces individual liberty and maintains a devotion to God.
00:14:53.360 The freedom that Ukraine is fighting for is not based on carving out privilege for some, but creating a pathway of prosperity and success, founded in hard work and the rule of law for all.
00:15:05.480 Neither I nor any Ukrainian is fighting for tolerance and acceptance for any one group, but for the freedom of every human.
00:15:12.760 Oh, come on.
00:15:15.860 I'd like to say, you know, there's something off here, but I mean, that's fairly obvious.
00:15:21.240 But what I would say is that I think...
00:15:26.880 Yeah, you think?
00:15:28.020 I don't think this is real.
00:15:30.000 I don't think it's real.
00:15:31.900 Well...
00:15:32.340 Isn't there something that...
00:15:33.840 I'm going to give you such a hit.
00:15:35.180 I'm going to put you on my list.
00:15:36.540 Now, not my kill list, because you're not that important, but my slap-across-the-face list, if I ever see you walking down the street slapping you, I'm going to slap and slap and slap you until you're silly.
00:15:49.040 You should not be on the Ukraine enemy list, though.
00:15:51.860 I mean, you've been very fair with your coverage, right?
00:15:55.600 I mean, like...
00:15:56.320 Well, we did go in and rescue children.
00:15:59.720 There you go.
00:16:00.240 I mean, other than that, you know...
00:16:02.200 You shouldn't be on a kill list.
00:16:03.360 You've helped, you know, rescue people in need.
00:16:07.300 But I do think the government's completely corrupt.
00:16:10.380 And I don't think we should be spending any money there.
00:16:13.680 And I also don't want to...
00:16:15.180 Any...
00:16:15.200 Yeah.
00:16:15.780 I also don't want to be, you know, in any war, sending planes or anything, really, anymore over to Ukraine.
00:16:25.700 There's some risk associated with such things.
00:16:28.500 Well, it's only nuclear annihilation.
00:16:31.080 Right, that's the risk I was talking about.
00:16:32.520 Yeah, that's the only risk.
00:16:34.820 So, I think that's probably...
00:16:38.680 We should...
00:16:39.040 I think it's enough.
00:16:39.880 I think it's enough.
00:16:40.840 I mean, I...
00:16:41.420 So, you're saying just the nuclear annihilation's enough to not send over billions of dollars every day?
00:16:45.920 Yeah, it is.
00:16:45.940 It is for me.
00:16:46.640 I'm like, you know, they're saying that we might be in a nuclear war.
00:16:51.280 Our president's not too well, you know?
00:16:54.240 And he'll have about 10 minutes to make the decision whether to fire or not.
00:16:58.180 And I'm...
00:16:59.180 I'm just...
00:17:01.260 I'm out on a limb here in today's crazy world.
00:17:05.120 But I'm saying, I don't think so.
00:17:07.780 I don't think so.
00:17:09.240 And I could put on a wig if it would make more sense to you.
00:17:12.120 But I don't think we should do it.
00:17:14.920 Now, doesn't Biden have a speech at the UN today?
00:17:17.980 Yeah.
00:17:18.380 So, I'm sure that'll ease any of your concerns.
00:17:23.380 Because he'll knock that one out of the park.
00:17:25.020 And then we'll know, okay, he's got a really good vision.
00:17:27.120 He's got this all under control.
00:17:30.500 Maybe...
00:17:31.060 And Zelensky's there, too.
00:17:32.780 Zelensky's meeting.
00:17:33.560 Maybe he'll come out as a woman for the speech.
00:17:37.700 I mean, that seems to be a very effective tactic.
00:17:39.400 Can I tell you something?
00:17:40.080 I wouldn't be surprised.
00:17:40.920 No.
00:17:41.200 And you know what?
00:17:41.720 We would all be told we should accept it.
00:17:44.520 And...
00:17:45.040 And it wasn't anything different than normal.
00:17:46.800 And...
00:17:47.280 And if you notice it, you're a bad person.
00:17:49.380 And...
00:17:49.800 And even more.
00:17:51.660 She's the most beautiful president I've ever seen.
00:17:56.060 She is...
00:17:56.460 The first female president, by the way.
00:17:57.760 She is the first female president and the most beautiful person I've ever seen.
00:18:02.200 Yep.
00:18:02.820 And if you disagree with that...
00:18:04.720 And if you're like, it's Joe Biden.
00:18:06.780 In lipstick.
00:18:07.780 Nope.
00:18:08.420 Nope.
00:18:08.820 Nope, it's not.
00:18:09.500 No, it's not.
00:18:10.020 No, it's not.
00:18:10.500 You've misgendered that Joe Biden.
00:18:11.960 And we'll put you on a kill list.
00:18:14.000 So...
00:18:14.400 We've got that going.

00:19:34.060 Station ID.
00:19:44.560 Okay.
00:19:45.120 I have been getting all kinds of calls, all kinds of mail, all kinds of questions from everyone
00:19:55.180 about the stories that are coming out about Tim Ballard.
00:19:59.780 Yes, I have seen the articles, and I pray to God the allegations in them are not true.
00:20:08.960 I have spoken to Tim, and he has forcefully denied them, repeatedly.
00:20:16.880 I don't have any direct knowledge of any of this.
00:20:22.540 Yesterday, some, what did we call the press people?
00:20:27.300 Yeah.
00:20:27.680 Some people asked why Tim is no longer the CEO of the Nazarene Fund.
00:20:33.000 Tim departed the Nazarene Fund several months ago.
00:20:36.700 It was at the release, or just around the release, of Sound of Freedom, as his concentration
00:20:41.980 was going toward his new foundation of spear.
00:20:45.080 His leaving was not related to the allegations contained in the reports that we're finding
00:20:50.320 out about now.
00:20:52.460 Again, I pray to God that they are not true.
00:20:56.980 And I honestly ask you to pray for everyone involved.
00:21:04.900 Everyone involved.
00:21:07.460 Okay.
00:21:09.540 How you doing, Stu?
00:21:11.700 I think I'm doing okay.
00:21:13.180 Yeah.
00:21:13.500 I'm not on a kill list.
00:21:14.640 Not on a kill list today.
00:21:16.060 I mean, I assume after the previous segment, we probably are on the kill list now, but up
00:21:22.160 until today, we were not on a kill list.
00:21:23.820 Not me.
00:21:24.560 I'm for her.
00:21:25.820 You're for her.
00:21:26.980 I'm for her.
00:21:27.880 I'm all about her.
00:21:29.980 Yeah.
00:21:30.500 Yeah.
00:21:31.280 Okay.
00:21:31.780 Well, that would be...
00:21:32.520 I mean, you know, only in this time...
00:21:35.220 In the Ukrainian military court.
00:21:36.700 We'll see how that works.
00:21:37.420 Only at this time could this possibly happen.
00:21:42.180 And you know what?
00:21:43.380 You know, if you believe that, you know, everybody wants to go to war with us, this is perfect propaganda
00:21:50.100 to get the Russians to destroy us because the Russians are using religious propaganda and
00:21:59.760 saying, you know, the truth that we are so far away from God.
00:22:04.180 And Putin is not a religious country, but he is using all of the religious things to say, look, they're going to infect us and the rest of the world, and they're going to bring this to us.
00:22:18.060 I think this is great Russian propaganda, but it's from Ukraine.
00:22:23.540 But this is only adding fuel to the fire on the points that Putin is making about the United States of America.
00:22:33.440 And quite frankly, the rest of the world is making about the United States of America.
00:22:40.920 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:43.640 So Joseph Stalin is supposed to have once said that a single death is a tragedy, while a million deaths is just a statistic.
00:22:53.280 Unfortunately, that is the way people think, even if they don't want to.
00:22:57.400 Nevertheless, 64 million lives lost to abortion.
00:23:01.080 Not a stat.
00:23:02.100 It is a crime against humanity.
00:23:04.380 It's an insult to God.
00:23:06.360 The God who made us.
00:23:08.800 This is why pre-born exists.
00:23:11.120 This is why we have chosen to stand with pre-born and everyone else that is fighting against abortion.
00:23:19.340 But they're not just fighting against abortion.
00:23:21.560 They are fighting for the mothers.
00:23:23.940 They're fighting for the babies.
00:23:27.300 The mothers that choose life,
00:23:29.200 the chance of them choosing life for their baby doubles with an ultrasound.
00:23:34.900 You give that baby an ultrasound, that mom, she sees the baby on the screen and she doubles the chances.
00:23:42.300 And then you back it up with being the support team for the mom for up to two years after birth of her baby.
00:23:48.620 And it changes the world.

00:24:04.220 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:24:15.080 I'm going to tell you the truth here on something.
00:24:20.600 You know, J.D. Vance, I've always thought was a good guy, liked him.
00:24:24.680 But my opinion changed on him when I found out that Mitt Romney said he was one of the worst people in the world.
00:24:33.120 He's become a god to me.
00:24:37.100 J.D. Vance, welcome to the program.
00:24:39.020 How are you?
00:24:40.460 Good, Glenn.
00:24:41.200 How are you doing?
00:24:41.640 Very good.
00:24:42.180 Okay, so first things first.
00:24:44.660 We have to ask you, this spokesperson for the Ukrainian military, I mean, if we didn't live in the world where nothing makes sense, I would say that's completely bogus.
00:25:00.400 But I don't know what's true anymore.
00:25:02.780 Oh, Glenn, I mean, if you just played a video of this person, I would think it was an SNL skit or something.
00:25:11.160 I can't actually believe this is the real world, but it is.
00:25:14.580 And it shows how farcical it is.
00:25:16.700 Let's sort of focus on the substance here, because I think it's very important to sort of nail down what exactly this person said.
00:25:24.480 So, number one, they said, and it's a man, by the way, it's sort of a transgendered man, saying that we're going to hunt down Russian propagandists.
00:25:37.080 Okay, Russian propagandists are anybody from, if you judge by the standards of the American media, anybody from Tucker Carlson to yours truly.
00:25:45.280 Many friends of mine in the American media have been accused of being Russian propagandists.
00:25:49.400 So is that an explicit threat to anybody who challenges the party line in Ukraine?
00:25:55.500 Because that's what it sounds like.
00:25:57.120 Now, the other thing we have to remember is this is not some random yahoo, whatever, to Ukraine.
00:26:01.300 This is the official English language spokesman for the Ukrainian military.
00:26:06.500 We know that to be true, right?
00:26:08.840 We know that to be true.
00:26:10.460 We know that to be true.
00:26:11.940 Now, here is the crazy thing, Glenn.
00:26:13.700 I don't want to get too much in the weeds because we're still learning a lot.
00:26:16.360 There was a Daily Beast story reported two years ago about this individual where they claim to be a member of the U.S. intelligence services.
00:26:31.200 This is two years ago.
00:26:32.820 So are we actually dealing with a person who used to be employed by the U.S. government, went over to Ukraine, and now is threatening to kill people for exercising their First Amendment rights?
00:26:42.180 Because that's what it looks a lot like to me, and we need to get to the bottom of this.
00:26:46.400 This, in my view, I'm selfish about this, Glenn, should be the biggest story in American media.
00:26:52.240 This guy, I guess pretending to be a woman, or I don't know which direction this runs.
00:26:57.260 I never do.
00:26:59.380 Pretending to speak and threaten people for exercising their First Amendment rights, it is crazy.
00:27:06.620 If this is an official spokesperson, why are we sending a dime to Ukraine?
00:27:15.120 They are threatening American citizens.
00:27:18.440 And by the way, I don't understand because, you know, the left—
00:27:23.820 Well, no, the left has always traditionally hated anti-war people, haven't they?
00:27:29.060 Oh, no, they didn't.
00:27:31.680 We should not be sending a dime to them.
00:27:34.720 Well, that's exactly right.
00:27:38.340 In fact, our tax dollars are being used to threaten American citizens with violence for exercising their rights, right?
00:27:44.540 Now, this sort of gets to the heart of the lie at the Ukraine-Russia war, Glenn.
00:27:49.100 And I don't know where you are on this, but I've sort of been a skeptic of this from the very beginning.
00:27:53.000 Oh, yeah.
00:27:53.520 If you sort of—if you listen to what people say, they say it's a war for freedom.
00:27:56.960 Well, we know Zelensky's arresting Christian priests, and now his spokesperson is threatening American citizens with violence for exercising their rights.
00:28:06.300 We're told it's a war for democracy, and yet they've suspended elections indefinitely.
00:28:11.060 At what point do we look around and say, we're not funding a war for democracy?
00:28:16.520 We're funding something else entirely.
00:28:18.520 Let's have an honest conversation about what that is.
00:28:20.460 We're funding the Great Reset.
00:28:23.560 That's what's happening.
00:28:24.560 We are funding BlackRock and Goldman Sachs and everybody else going in to rebuild.
00:28:30.240 We've already sent over half the amount adjusted for inflation that we sent for the Marshall Plan.
00:28:39.920 That rebuilt a lot of Europe with the Marshall Plan.
00:28:43.900 We've already sent half of that money over there, and we're talking about rebuilding while the war is still going on.
00:28:52.040 And he's opened up the stock market.
00:28:55.040 He's—Zelensky has.
00:28:57.220 He—our stock market.
00:28:59.340 He keeps talking about invest in Ukraine because the business is going to be good.
00:29:04.180 We are funneling all this money to God only knows who.
00:29:09.500 Yeah, it may very well be the biggest racket in the history of the last century.
00:29:16.060 I certainly am open to that.
00:29:17.780 But whatever we're funding, here's what we're—here's what I'm sure about, Glenn.
00:29:21.560 We're certainly funding a very deadly war with no insight.
00:29:25.820 We're funding a war that is destroying one of the most, you know, important culturally nations in Eastern Europe.
00:29:32.540 We're funding a war that is enriching a lot of Americans and a lot of defense contractors in the United States of America.
00:29:38.900 And I still am not clear on what our actual interest is.
00:29:42.500 On top of that, we're exhausting weapons supplies that we may need, God forbid, if there's a war in another part of the world, like, for example, East Asia.
00:29:50.540 So this has just gotten completely out of control.
00:29:53.860 Zelensky is going to be in D.C. on Thursday.
00:29:56.300 We'll see if anybody lets me get close to him because, you know, I've sort of gone back and forth on what I would actually ask him.
00:30:02.580 And I think what I would ask him is, the last time you were in town, we were told that the counteroffensive would be a major inflection point.
00:30:10.880 And now we're being told we need to buckle in for the long haul.
00:30:14.300 Is that another $100 billion, another $500 billion?
00:30:17.560 How much are American taxpayers expected to fund this thing?
00:30:20.980 Glenn, to your point, Glenn, we know that a lot of this is ultimately going to get fundled to the American or, I should say, the international corporate class that seems to actually rule the world.
00:30:29.840 All right, let me change subjects.
00:30:32.380 I haven't talked about the UAW strike because I don't understand what they're thinking.
00:30:38.360 They're asking for a doubling in salary.
00:30:41.960 And you know what?
00:30:43.280 Everybody's hurting right now.
00:30:44.920 So if you can get, you know, but this is a doubling of salary.
00:30:49.000 It is the restoration of things that were not financially feasible and taken off during another.
00:30:59.900 They're asking for the world.
00:31:02.220 Meanwhile, because of this administration, Ford loses, what, $35,000 per electric vehicle.
00:31:11.500 They're $2 billion in the hole every year now because of the electric vehicle.
00:31:18.940 They can't even build enough trucks now.
00:31:21.320 You have to wait for a Ford truck.
00:31:23.020 And China, we just found out, is the leader in 19 higher tech fields, including battery operations and the production of batteries and the production of EVs, where they're already dominant.
00:31:43.680 What are the unions and everybody else doing to our factories?
00:31:48.700 Well, look, first of all, we're subsidizing an industry, to your point, that the Chinese dominate.
00:31:54.500 And it's not just the batteries.
00:31:55.900 It's the components.
00:31:56.900 It's the minerals.
00:31:57.500 It's the mining.
00:31:58.420 It's the entire supply chain from when you start digging stuff out of the ground to when you actually start driving these cars.
00:32:05.280 The Chinese dominate it.
00:32:06.520 So every time we subsidize an EV, what we're really doing is subsidizing the destruction of a gas-powered automobile job with a Chinese EV job.
00:32:17.040 We need to be honest about that.
00:32:19.140 Now, Glenn, I'm sympathetic to the factory workers because, like you said, everybody's getting screwed with Biden's inflation.
00:32:24.680 Everybody's trying to struggle.
00:32:26.280 And, yeah, look, a lot of their demands are excessive.
00:32:28.940 But we have to remember this is a negotiation.
00:32:31.460 And what I'd encourage all of my fellow conservatives out there is to remember the real lesson of the last 40 years.
00:32:37.660 My view of that lesson is when we ship our industrial base to China, American consumers lose, American workers lose, and the American people become weaker.
00:32:47.820 We become weaker as a nation.
00:32:49.640 And that's what we're doing here.
00:32:50.640 So we have to keep our eye on the prize here and say the Biden administration is doubling down on 40 years of failed policy.
00:32:58.120 Let's ship all of our industrial jobs overseas and pretend and hope that workers are going to somehow benefit.
00:33:04.600 They're not going to benefit.
00:33:05.700 Consumers aren't going to benefit.
00:33:07.180 These car companies aren't going to benefit in the end.
00:33:09.620 It's a lose-lose proposition for everybody.
00:33:12.540 So, look, I think the workers, some of their demands are reasonable.
00:33:15.740 I think some of their demands are the things that you do when you go into a negotiation.
00:33:20.180 You sometimes ask more than what you think you're going to get.
00:33:22.720 But the core issue here is, look, when you ask who has been the biggest advocate of EVs and the transition to EVs, Glenn, it has been the big three automakers themselves, the corporate leadership, and also the union leadership.
00:33:39.100 Correct.
00:33:39.260 Who has screwed the union membership and the consumers?
00:33:42.400 I know a lot of auto workers, they are not on board with this transition to EVs.
00:33:47.480 So the leadership needs to better reflect the views of the membership here and save this industry.
00:33:51.680 And that's what I say about the unions.
00:33:53.600 I'm not talking about the workers.
00:33:55.700 The unions are in bed with the government.
00:34:00.520 They're in line with the Green New Deal.
00:34:02.440 They're in line with all of this stuff.
00:34:04.520 I don't know how they benefit in the end.
00:34:07.860 But there's clearly some way the union heads actually benefit.
00:34:13.460 But the people are being screwed.
00:34:15.360 You are going to lose everyone's job by going to EVs.
00:34:20.500 It's going to happen.
00:34:22.320 Just like, you know, no, we're just going to go ahead and, you know, we're going to make parts globally.
00:34:27.040 And how did that work out for us?
00:34:29.560 This is the same thing.
00:34:31.240 It's the same thing replayed over again and again, Glenn.
00:34:35.420 And we know who's going to get screwed.
00:34:36.640 It's going to be all of us.
00:34:37.520 And it's going to be our workers.
00:34:38.580 Now, here's a crazy statistic on this strike, Glenn.
00:34:41.500 Just focus on Ford.
00:34:43.100 If Ford gave the UAW everything they asked for, everything they asked for, it would cost about $5 billion in 2023.
00:34:51.420 Goldman Sachs estimates that Ford is going to lose, guess, $5 billion on EVs in 2023.
00:34:57.820 It is a direct transfer from working people and from consumers, of course, because the EVs are more expensive.
00:35:05.820 They have a lot of other issues as well.
00:35:07.760 Direct transfer from those folks to the people who have been getting rich for the past generation of this country.
00:35:12.500 It's a real problem.
00:35:13.760 We have fundamentally an economy that has been rigged by different people.
00:35:18.460 And right now, the people trying to rig the economy are the climate cult.
00:35:21.800 They're going to get rich from this.
00:35:23.240 I guarantee it.
00:35:24.260 They're going to find a way to get rich from this.
00:35:26.020 But we're paying more for cars.
00:35:27.360 We're paying more for used cars.
00:35:28.900 We're paying more for gas.
00:35:30.100 And that is by design.
00:35:31.240 And most importantly, we are destroying our – we go to war.
00:35:36.840 We need those workers and those Ford factories and those GM factories.
00:35:41.760 We've got to have those or we're not going to be able to do anything.
00:35:45.880 It's the reason why we could go from training with broomsticks in 1938 to outmaneuvering the German war machine by 43 because of those factories and those workers.
00:36:00.980 This is insanity.
00:36:02.620 We are cutting ourselves off at the knees every single day in every way and every place.
00:36:09.780 Yeah, and Glenn, we have an economy that's way too built around debt and way too built around financial services and globalization, not enough around making real things.
00:36:19.440 This is, I think, the fundamental inside the last 40 years.
00:36:22.300 We don't make enough of our own stuff.
00:36:24.100 So go back to Russia, Ukraine.
00:36:25.620 Guess how many artillery shells the Russians are making per day, okay?
00:36:29.120 And again, set to the side of your foreign policy views, it highlights their economic power.
00:36:34.180 20,000 artillery shells a day is what the rest are making.
00:36:37.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:38.480 We're the biggest economy in the world.
00:36:40.080 We make 20,000 in a month, Glenn.
00:36:42.460 I know.
00:36:43.000 We cannot win the next war if we don't have our own industrial power, and that's what we have to regain.
00:36:50.080 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:51.300 One last question, and that is the national debt just hit $33 trillion.
00:36:55.300 Do we even know what we're spending this money on?
00:36:57.440 We are now, we're still spending at the COVID levels.
00:37:01.400 We're $2 trillion over the budget.
00:37:05.220 What are we even spending this on?
00:37:07.760 And are we going to, is Congress going to stand and say enough is enough, or are we going to buckle again?
00:37:15.680 Well, we have no idea what we're spending on.
00:37:17.660 I think the COVID point is the important one, Glenn.
00:37:20.400 You hear a lot of people talk about entitlements in these conversations.
00:37:24.020 And, look, we can have that conversation, but let's focus on the immediate problem.
00:37:28.580 In 2020, our government, excuse me, 2019, we spent about $4.5 trillion.
00:37:33.700 If we spent just that amount of money this year, we'd have close to a balanced budget in this country in 2023.
00:37:39.240 But we're going to spend north of $6 trillion.
00:37:41.220 We allowed COVID to blow up the federal budget, and there's really been no sustained effort for Republicans to try to put that genie back in the bottle.
00:37:49.900 You asked the question, are we going to buckle?
00:37:51.620 Obviously, you know, this is a House question more than a Senate question because Chuck Schumer runs the chamber on our side.
00:37:58.080 I hope that they don't.
00:37:59.400 But I think that there's an opportunity here, look, at the very least, to get something, right?
00:38:03.900 I'm a realist.
00:38:04.980 I don't think that they're going to balance the budget in the next two years.
00:38:08.260 But we need to get something out of this, right?
00:38:11.660 If we're going to give the Democrats something, whether it's defunding the weaponized DOJ, whether it's doing something, all these ridiculous mask mandates that they're talking about bringing back.
00:38:22.760 My personal, you know, I think the most important issue in the country is actually not the debt.
00:38:27.860 It's the immigration.
00:38:28.840 It's the border.
00:38:30.100 If we don't get control of our own border, we don't have sovereignty.
00:38:32.660 We don't have a real nation.
00:38:33.960 Maybe we can get something there.
00:38:35.760 But if we fold as a Republican Party and we get nothing in response for it, then I think our voters are going to be pissed and they have every right to be so.
00:38:43.140 Oh, yeah, they are.
00:38:44.080 They're going to be more than that.
00:38:45.180 They're just you're done as a party.
00:38:47.340 It's it's going to be done.
00:38:49.780 Senator J.D. Vance from Ohio.
00:38:51.800 Thank you so much, Senator.
00:38:53.060 Appreciate it.
00:38:53.880 Thanks, Lord.
00:38:54.380 All right.
00:38:56.660 Every time you had to move every time you've you've moved in your life, don't you wish you just had like a magic wand?
00:39:03.200 You'd be like, I'm I'm with the Ukrainian army and I'm going to make it disappear.
00:39:09.180 And you could make a whole of the move just done in one day.
00:39:13.880 No, you don't have a magic wand yet.
00:39:17.100 I hear they're working on one.
00:39:18.840 And I might be talking about somebody with a magic wand tomorrow.
00:39:21.840 Who knows?
00:39:23.760 You can make your move, whether you're moving across the street or across the country, you can make it really simple by having the right real estate agent.
00:39:32.980 Now, I started real estate agents.
00:39:35.100 I trust dot com.
00:39:36.280 This is a referral service.
00:39:37.540 And we check these guys out six ways to send.
00:39:40.960 I swear to you, I am surprised we don't have a rubber glove on one hand when we check these people out because we check them out.
00:39:48.360 It's pretty rigorous.
00:39:49.360 And then we follow and make sure we follow up with their customers, make sure is everything great?
00:39:54.380 Everything great?
00:39:55.060 What happened?
00:39:56.080 We want to make this move of yours as painless as possible.
00:39:59.500 So whether you're selling or buying a house, real estate agents, I trust dot com.
00:40:03.240 Real estate agents, I trust dot com.
00:40:05.360 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:40:19.940 We've been talking a lot about how billions and billions of your dollars are going all over the world to God knows what.
00:40:25.760 But it's not just the government you have to worry about when you're thinking about how your money is going to get taken from you.
00:40:30.820 It's also cyber criminals.
00:40:32.040 Cyber criminals, of course, are there.
00:40:33.360 And, you know, you'd think maybe the government's supposed to stop the cyber criminals from stealing your money, but they don't do a very good job at accomplishing that task.
00:40:41.400 So maybe you need to take action and you need the help of home title lock.
00:40:45.940 It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
00:40:47.780 Home title theft is.
00:40:48.840 And if you get involved in it, if you wind up getting hit with this crime, you are going to feel a lot of pain.
00:40:54.380 We've seen homeowners pull onto their streets and see a bulldozer knocking over their house.
00:40:58.800 Why?
00:40:59.460 Well, it was sold months previously.
00:41:01.600 They didn't know this.
00:41:02.560 And the new owner was there, like, getting ready to build their new house.
00:41:06.200 Well, you don't want that to happen to you.
00:41:08.260 There's been all sorts of, even if it's not a bulldozer, you're talking about endless paperwork and dealing with the government and banks and insurance companies.
00:41:15.720 And, I mean, it's going to cost you tens of thousands of dollars just to set it right.
00:41:19.220 Your home, your property, your equity are your most valuable assets.
00:41:22.020 And home title lock helps you protect them.
00:41:24.200 Home title lock puts a shield around your home's title and property.
00:41:27.420 And the instant they detect activity or tampering, they shut it down.
00:41:31.680 First things first, you need to verify that you aren't already a victim of this crime.
00:41:35.840 Go to home title lock dot com and use the code back.
00:41:38.260 You'll get 30 risk free days of protection.
00:41:40.840 Home title lock dot com.
00:41:41.860 The code is back.
00:41:42.540 All right.
00:41:47.380 Coming up just a second, Congressman Jim Jordan.
00:41:50.500 He is the GOP House ranking member.
00:41:53.820 Want to talk to him a little bit about what's the plan for the budget?
00:41:58.680 What are we going to do with that?
00:42:00.600 Because I'm going to give you such a slap.
00:42:03.060 I'll give you a slap.
00:42:04.400 I will.
00:42:04.980 I will.
00:42:05.320 We're going to find out about the budget and also, you know, some new new things coming out on the impeachment inquiry.
00:42:14.700 And I want to talk to him about what specifically are we looking for?
00:42:17.840 What do we hope to have?
00:42:20.600 And what's standing in the way of that?
00:42:26.140 All of this and more coming up in just a second.
00:42:29.120 Stand by.
00:42:29.560 Thanks so much for listening to us today.
00:42:35.320 I got to talk to you a little bit about Mantis X.
00:42:38.400 Mantis X, if you're a gun owner, this is, I think, the best system.
00:42:44.920 It's widely used by the military now.
00:42:46.960 It was just for our Marines at first.
00:42:49.020 Now everybody in the military is using it.
00:42:51.400 And it is a way to practice firing either at the range or dry firing.
00:42:58.900 And, you know, you always want somebody to be there and watching.
00:43:01.780 What am I doing wrong?
00:43:02.520 What am I doing wrong?
00:43:03.380 And my favorite is after I've spent like $6 on a bullet, they'll say, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching.
00:43:09.480 Oh, okay, good.
00:43:10.800 Mantis X is always watching.
00:43:12.100 You put it on the barrel of your gun and it measures and tracks exactly what's happening at all times with the gun.
00:43:20.160 So as you're squeezing the trigger, are you leaning down, leaning up?
00:43:24.940 What's happening to the gun?
00:43:26.280 And it shows you in real time on your iPad or on your phone and you can then correct it.
00:43:33.460 It shows you how to correct your technique.
00:43:35.560 It is amazing.
00:43:36.700 Ninety-four percent of shooters improve within 20 minutes.
00:43:39.440 I know I did.
00:43:40.740 It is.
00:43:41.660 It's going to save you a buttload of money when it comes to going to the range.
00:43:46.180 Start improving today.
00:43:47.400 Get yours at MantisX.com.
00:43:50.060 That's MantisX.com.
00:43:53.120 Get it now.
00:43:54.180 Improve your shooting skills.
00:43:57.060 All right.
00:43:57.400 Jim Jordan's joining us from Capitol Hill next.
00:44:00.640 We got to stand together.
00:44:28.640 It's the course of life.
00:44:30.640 Stand up, stand, and hold the line.
00:44:37.700 It's a new day.
00:44:39.580 I'm trying to rise.
00:44:44.200 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:44:50.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:56.800 Hello, you sick freak.
00:44:58.500 Welcome to the program.
00:44:59.420 I'm really glad that you're here today.
00:45:01.140 We're going to delve in to the swimming pool that is corruption, spending, our borders.
00:45:10.600 I mean, we've been cloward and pivened.
00:45:14.320 Does anybody recognize that with our borders?
00:45:17.520 Just the borders alone.
00:45:19.140 Let alone now we're $2 trillion extra over budget now.
00:45:26.400 We're still spending at COVID levels.
00:45:28.520 Does anybody know what we're spending it on?
00:45:30.240 Because I don't.
00:45:31.240 Does anybody know?
00:45:33.240 Does anybody know?
00:45:33.860 Anybody?
00:45:34.120 Bueller.
00:45:35.120 Bueller.
00:45:36.100 We're going to start there in 60 seconds.
00:45:38.160 First, Land O'Lakes, Florida.
00:45:40.800 Tunnel to Towers Foundation is building a community there called Let Us Do Good Village.
00:45:45.440 It'll have about 100 homes for the program participants.
00:45:49.000 There are two families who have already moved in, two Gold Star families, a Gold Star family
00:45:53.860 and actually a family, not Gold Star.
00:45:56.820 It's severely injured hero that served our nation.
00:46:01.120 More to come.
00:46:02.160 It's a special place that they are seeing families coming together and healing together.
00:46:08.700 It's a place where their children can grow up and experience life together.
00:46:11.980 And it's all thanks to one amazing donation of land on which it sits.
00:46:17.780 Of course, thanks to your generosity, they're building the homes.
00:46:21.400 The Let Us Do Good Village can be just the first of many communities like it.
00:46:25.760 This is your opportunity to help America's greatest heroes and their families heal together
00:46:29.900 and also grow together.
00:46:31.460 Every mortgage-free home, the foundation makes good on its promise to do good and never forget
00:46:37.800 the sacrifices our heroes have made for our country and our communities.
00:46:42.320 Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.
00:46:46.040 That's T, the number two, T, dot org.
00:46:49.240 Jim Jordan is joining us now.
00:46:51.740 Jim, boy, all of this stuff is related.
00:46:56.500 You know, we've got the craziness that is happening in Ukraine.
00:47:00.040 They're going to ask for more money.
00:47:02.660 We are $2 trillion over what we brought in.
00:47:07.920 We're spending at COVID levels.
00:47:10.160 And, you know, speaking of money changing hands, we also have a very corrupt government here.
00:47:20.260 And Joe Biden and his son dealing with Ukraine, all that money being lost now.
00:47:26.460 I mean, I don't know what's going on and where you even begin.
00:47:29.500 But let's start with the budget.
00:47:33.540 Yeah, no, no, you're right.
00:47:35.040 We should, I think what we should send over to the Senate here on this, this, what's called
00:47:39.400 a continuing resolution to fund the government until we get these appropriations bills done
00:47:42.700 is we should focus on a policy that says no new migrants can come in the country.
00:47:46.980 I mean, you've got the mayor of New York who's talked about this.
00:47:49.460 You've got the folks in Boston talking about this.
00:47:52.580 So when you've got Democrat elected officials saying this problem is so bad that we have
00:47:58.020 the chance, I think, to get a policy victory and stop the craziness that is now our southern
00:48:04.220 border and how this problem is impacting communities all over the country.
00:48:08.060 So I would push for that policy.
00:48:10.000 That's something we're trying to work out amongst Republicans as we speak.
00:48:13.320 But that makes sense to me as something we should do.
00:48:16.460 You pick one good policy, put on this bill, and you dare the Democrats in it.
00:48:19.660 Really, Chuck Schumer?
00:48:20.420 You're not going to fund the government because you think it's appropriate to continue to
00:48:23.400 just allow this unrestricted migration into our nation?
00:48:27.620 I think the American people are with us on that.
00:48:29.440 And you saw that when, what was it, Democrat members of Congress up in New York last week
00:48:34.340 getting screamed at because of the chaos this crazy open border policy of Joe Biden has
00:48:39.420 caused for the country.
00:48:40.700 So how come we didn't pass all these individual bills?
00:48:44.480 That's what I was told Congress was going to do last summer.
00:48:47.940 That's what they said they were going to do.
00:48:49.680 Yeah, we should have done that.
00:48:51.740 I think part of the holdup, frankly, was if you remember when the House first passed our
00:48:56.480 debt ceiling bill called Limit Save Grow, which was good legislation that actually put
00:49:02.100 in some good policy, Joe Biden said, no, no, no, I want a clean debt ceiling increase.
00:49:06.280 And he wasted three months from February to nay of nothing happening.
00:49:11.940 And that sort of was that you needed to get an agreement on what the number is going to
00:49:15.460 be.
00:49:16.440 You know, one of the things my colleague who has said that I think makes sense is he said,
00:49:20.660 we are one half of one third of the government by five votes.
00:49:24.620 So it's tough for the House Republicans to drive all the policy.
00:49:28.120 But we've had, I think, an outsized impact on things if when when we stick together.
00:49:33.500 So that was part, I think, the holdup.
00:49:35.120 But you're right.
00:49:35.480 We need to we need to get after that and we need to get it done.
00:49:37.920 We just haven't been able to get agreement here amongst Republicans, which is a problem,
00:49:41.640 too.
00:49:41.840 But by the way, because it seems like Democrats always seem to be able to agree to attack
00:49:45.260 Republicans.
00:49:46.160 Well, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, come together to go after them.
00:49:48.600 But, Jim, you know, what's crazy is we always fall apart because of the weasel rhino Republicans.
00:49:57.480 They they fall apart.
00:49:59.160 They used to fall apart because they were listening to the radicals and the radicals ended up getting
00:50:05.000 their way.
00:50:06.360 And if we don't if we don't have some people.
00:50:09.640 I mean, when when you have government the way it is today, you know, I don't mind being
00:50:17.740 called a radical.
00:50:19.180 If it means disagreeing with everything that's going on in this country, then, yes, color
00:50:23.360 me a radical.
00:50:25.120 I'm not.
00:50:26.080 I'm just a constitutionalist.
00:50:28.040 That shouldn't be radical in America.
00:50:30.580 No, it shouldn't.
00:50:31.500 Well said.
00:50:31.980 And I think we're agreeing because I actually said this.
00:50:34.620 I've said this in the House floor.
00:50:35.780 I said we need to, as Republicans, understand that any differences that exist between moderate
00:50:40.660 Republicans and us conservative Republicans pale, pale in comparison between the differences
00:50:45.860 of Republicans and today's radical left, which controls the Democrat Party.
00:50:50.420 So we better understand where the left wants to take this country.
00:50:52.900 And as Republicans, stick together so that we can we can stop where the left wants to
00:50:58.080 go.
00:50:58.720 That's that's what I think we have to focus on.
00:51:00.980 And I thought we were able to do that many times so far this Congress.
00:51:04.000 But you're right.
00:51:04.800 We need to get these appropriation bills done so that we can get the right kind of policy
00:51:07.900 on those bills to stop the radical.
00:51:09.780 All right.
00:51:10.200 So the continuing resolution this time, you're saying about the border, when when is that
00:51:15.960 going to be done?
00:51:16.620 So you have time that your back isn't up against the wall.
00:51:21.080 We're working on we just got one out of the votes right now and within the conference.
00:51:24.460 And so we're trying to get that.
00:51:26.420 You know, there were conservative Freedom Caucus members who got together with more and more
00:51:30.960 moderate members and came up with this idea that that we focus on that issue of H.R.
00:51:36.060 to the bill we had passed through our committee and through the Homeland Security Committee
00:51:40.560 that would actually protect our border and put in the strongest immigration enforcement
00:51:44.680 legislation ever.
00:51:46.220 Put that on this bill, send it over there and say, OK, Chuck Schumer, you're really going
00:51:49.820 to vote against this and light of what your mayor just said in your town.
00:51:53.800 OK, that to me is is a smart political play and good policy for the country.
00:51:59.260 So that's what we're trying to.
00:52:00.240 But we don't have to vote for it right now.
00:52:01.420 We're trying to get.
00:52:02.140 But you just let us know who you'd like to vote.
00:52:05.360 We'll we'll let their name be known and and and and help you out there, Jim.
00:52:11.920 The the other thing that I want to talk to you about, because we've just taken care of
00:52:17.760 budget and and border.
00:52:20.460 Do we even know what we're spending over in Ukraine?
00:52:23.120 Do we have any idea?
00:52:24.940 Too much.
00:52:26.000 That's what I know.
00:52:27.040 And they want more.
00:52:28.380 I think this is this is also going to be another fight that's going to unfold here this fall.
00:52:31.960 Well, look, you and I, I voted for the very first, I think, legislation which condemned
00:52:39.720 what, you know, Russia was doing.
00:52:41.120 And I voted against every other funding for this because no one can.
00:52:44.920 And I'm sure you've talked about this, but somebody tell me what the objective is.
00:52:49.220 What is our goal?
00:52:50.340 Is our goal to get Russia out of the Donbass region?
00:52:53.060 Is our goal to get Russia out of Crimea, which they took back and during the Obama years
00:52:56.280 back in 2014 is is our goal.
00:52:58.640 What is no one can tell us what the objective is.
00:53:01.940 And so if you don't know what the objective is, why are we spending so much money, the hard
00:53:05.760 earned taxpayers of the fourth district of Ohio?
00:53:07.800 Why are we sending it all over there?
00:53:09.380 That that is the fundamental question.
00:53:11.520 Until we get an answer for that, I don't think even you can go to the next question.
00:53:14.900 OK, should we send it?
00:53:15.700 I mean, it's like that is the fundamental question that no one can no one seems to have
00:53:19.360 and it certainly the Biden administration doesn't have an answer.
00:53:21.060 So what is the goal then on the the impeachment hearing?
00:53:26.200 What is it you're looking for and what stands in your way now of of finding that?
00:53:33.900 Yeah, I would frame it.
00:53:34.700 I would frame it a different way.
00:53:36.000 It's not that we're looking for necessarily anything.
00:53:39.020 I think it's when you see so much evidence, our constitutional duty to do oversight,
00:53:45.000 requires us to move to what's called an impeachment inquiry phase of our investigative work.
00:53:51.100 So that's what we're in.
00:53:52.440 You look at all the you can talk about the brand, the bank records, the 10 percent for
00:53:58.000 the big guy, the WhatsApp message, the shakedown message.
00:54:00.460 You can talk about all.
00:54:01.840 But in the end, in my mind, it's it sort of comes down to like four basic facts regarding
00:54:08.320 Burisma.
00:54:09.080 Hunter Biden was put on the board of Burisma.
00:54:10.920 Fact number one.
00:54:12.020 Fact number two, he wasn't qualified to be on the board.
00:54:14.120 Fact number three, the executives at Burisma said, we're under pressure.
00:54:17.280 We need that pressure relieved.
00:54:18.880 Fact number four, Joe Biden goes to Ukraine and gets the prosecutor fired.
00:54:21.980 He was applying the pressure.
00:54:23.460 And that fact number four is consistent with what was written in the 1023 confidential
00:54:27.800 human source form that the FBI had, where the confidential human source tells them that
00:54:32.920 that Burisma paid the Biden's money to get a certain policy preference and certain policy
00:54:37.920 outcome.
00:54:38.620 So pretty compelling stuff.
00:54:40.140 So that's why we have to open this inquiry.
00:54:42.580 And then we're going to look into this from all three committees and we're going to see
00:54:46.220 if it, if it leads to impeachment.
00:54:48.600 So that's, but that's what I'm asking you.
00:54:50.760 What do you need to open up to prove what, what would be this smoking gun that you're like,
00:54:57.460 okay, that's certainly, yeah, certainly, uh, you know, bribery is mentioned in, in, in the
00:55:04.300 constitution, uh, bribery, high times misdemeanors, uh, abusive office is, is a, is, has historically
00:55:11.220 been used.
00:55:12.100 And I think is, is, uh, is an impeachable offense if president Biden abused his office.
00:55:17.520 And I think this is why it's so important to figure out what exactly happened in the Hunter
00:55:21.500 Biden investigation, why it was handled the way it was, why they let the statute of limitations,
00:55:25.740 uh, expire for certain tax years.
00:55:28.640 Was it because those tax years dealt with the income coming from Burisma?
00:55:32.900 I mean, that no one, why did they, why did they let those, that statute expire?
00:55:38.240 Why did they wait so long to appoint a special counsel?
00:55:40.500 We're looking into all that, but, um, the inquiry is certainly warranted.
00:55:45.740 Um, and then you look at the, you look at the abusive office, you look at the bribery issue,
00:55:49.980 um, as you, uh, as you, as you go through the inquiry.
00:55:53.180 Thank you very much.
00:55:56.360 Um, Jim, I appreciate everything you guys are doing.
00:56:01.340 Thanks for coming on the program.
00:56:03.040 The, uh, GOP house ranking member.
00:56:05.460 We, uh, are, I will tell you, please tell all those who are thinking about, well, I'm going
00:56:11.500 to be moderate on the, uh, on the budget.
00:56:14.700 You probably shouldn't.
00:56:16.080 Cause if you blow this one, you know, I think the American people are done with the Republican
00:56:21.320 party, you can't blow this one.
00:56:24.420 Important.
00:56:24.820 We do what we said.
00:56:25.640 Glenn, thanks.
00:56:26.240 Thanks for, thanks for all you do.
00:56:27.320 Take care.
00:56:27.780 Bye-bye.
00:56:28.240 Jim Jordan.
00:56:29.040 All right.
00:56:30.140 Doug lives in Colorado.
00:56:31.700 He's the outdoorsy type.
00:56:34.380 I don't know what that means.
00:56:35.640 Well, I know it means I don't like Doug.
00:56:38.500 I mean, I might like him as a person, but I'm not hanging out with Doug.
00:56:41.120 Um, but he's the outdoorsy type who enjoys hiking in the mountains.
00:56:47.460 Why over time, he says age and the gradual wearing down of the bard of the body started
00:56:54.380 to catch up with Doug.
00:56:55.540 Yeah.
00:56:55.720 Cause you're climbing mountains.
00:56:58.040 Why do you think God created like, you know, the land cruiser?
00:57:02.180 Hello.
00:57:03.640 Maybe because, uh, he didn't do the very, uh, healthy thing.
00:57:07.620 He let his body rest very, very frequently.
00:57:11.420 It's, uh, I mean, it's, it's works for me when I rest very, very frequently.
00:57:16.000 Like I'm resting now.
00:57:18.620 The pain in his knees and his feet got so bad that he was no longer able to hike without
00:57:22.880 stopping to rest every little bit ways.
00:57:25.660 Um, and he was starting to despair.
00:57:27.420 He's like, this is my life.
00:57:28.920 I love this.
00:57:30.560 Well, he decided to give relief factor a try.
00:57:33.440 He says a few weeks in and I realized my pain was basically all but gone.
00:57:40.100 Three week, quick start, 1995 trial pack, not a drug developed for doc by doctors.
00:57:45.620 Uh, so it doesn't whack you out.
00:57:47.200 It's, it's not, uh, it's all natural.
00:57:50.700 And it will, if you try the quick start about 70% of them, of the people who try it, go on
00:57:55.560 to order more.
00:57:56.460 So go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:58:00.580 1-800, the number four, RELIEF, 1995, three week quick start, relieffactor.com.
00:58:07.240 Feel the difference.
00:58:08.660 10 seconds, station ID.
00:58:19.820 So the House Republicans launched impeachment inquiry last week.
00:58:25.600 What is the percentage of independents that support this?
00:58:33.740 Hmm.
00:58:34.000 I haven't seen this poll.
00:58:35.060 Um, I mean, I think, I think there's a larger number than you'd think that 81% of Republicans
00:58:48.640 support it.
00:58:49.920 Yep.
00:58:50.100 Um, only, uh, 12% of Democrats.
00:58:54.980 Okay.
00:58:55.400 Okay.
00:58:56.100 So you think, where are the independents?
00:58:57.880 Yeah.
00:58:57.980 You think it'd be somewhere in the middle there?
00:59:01.360 Um, I don't know.
00:59:02.920 I'd probably say 53%.
00:59:06.720 Shut up.
00:59:07.700 50.
00:59:08.840 Sorry.
00:59:09.480 You went over.
00:59:10.280 That's the way the game works.
00:59:14.080 That's, that's, that's, I mean, I don't know that I would have guessed that high, um, a
00:59:20.760 couple of months ago.
00:59:21.580 I think they've come a long way in explaining this.
00:59:24.720 And one of the things I think you can give real credit to, uh, in the House is they've
00:59:28.640 done a good job presenting this information in a credible way without really getting over
00:59:33.240 their skis on it.
00:59:34.060 Right?
00:59:34.320 Like, I think it's tempting to just say, oh, well, you know, we know he's, you know,
00:59:39.180 without the evidence and they have stopped.
00:59:41.720 And then they said, well, let's wait for the evidence and they have trickled it out when
00:59:45.540 they've had it locked down.
00:59:46.780 And I think it's done a lot to convince people there really is something here.
00:59:50.480 Yeah.
00:59:51.020 And I, I think they've, I mean, I've hated the slow dribs and drabs, but they're not
00:59:56.160 coming to conclusions.
00:59:57.160 They're just saying, oh, here's the latest.
00:59:59.720 And there's a lot every single day that comes out on this, um, that doesn't, doesn't, doesn't
01:00:05.320 look good.
01:00:06.020 The other thing to take away from this is the mainstream media.
01:00:10.000 It doesn't have the power it used to.
01:00:13.500 If 50% of independents are like, yeah, I think impeachment's warranted here.
01:00:20.760 The only ones not getting the message are the diehards, the Republicans or the, the, uh,
01:00:26.080 Democrats.
01:00:26.600 And I think it would be exactly the same if it was reversed was same, same charges, same
01:00:34.500 everything.
01:00:35.540 Yeah.
01:00:36.140 And that makes me sad.
01:00:37.820 It's, it's amazing.
01:00:38.800 And I think listening to, you know, Jim Jordan lay it out when he talked about a fact pattern,
01:00:43.620 right?
01:00:43.860 Those four steps he, he outlined there that gives you a plausible story, right?
01:00:49.040 Like, uh, okay, this is all suspicious and this is the storyline, but the, the pieces
01:00:54.560 he sort of just went over, you know, the WhatsApp message and the text messages from the business
01:00:58.360 associates and all these things, the bank records, that's the evidence and the, the evidence
01:01:03.020 that supports that fact pattern.
01:01:04.840 And the, the media is still trying to claim that there is no evidence that supports this
01:01:10.740 fact pattern at all.
01:01:12.540 When that may have been plausible five years ago.
01:01:15.680 I mean, I don't know.
01:01:16.680 I mean, even then I think there was enough to, to make you suspicious, but now having
01:01:20.860 what we have from the laptop, having all these, uh, even separate email accounts and, and text
01:01:27.600 message accounts from people who worked with Hunter Biden and did not, it did not come through
01:01:33.560 the laptop.
01:01:33.980 People that have, that have, were separately texting with each other about this as it was
01:01:39.100 happening.
01:01:39.740 Correct.
01:01:39.920 It's just impossible for you not to believe that there's evidence here.
01:01:43.380 So the, do you know, the, um, the IRS supervisors that have come out, it's Gary Shapely and, uh,
01:01:50.420 Joseph Ziegler, and they came out and they said, you know, it was last summer when the, uh, when we
01:01:58.740 came out and said, yes, we're very optimistic, uh, about bringing felony charges, uh, against
01:02:04.820 Hunter Biden for not paying his taxes.
01:02:06.620 And, you know, they, they've been working on it since 2014.
01:02:11.620 They even, uh, assigned somebody to prepare an indictment.
01:02:15.520 And then all of a sudden the U S attorney for Washington DC, Matthew Graves, a Biden appointee
01:02:22.520 refused to bring the charges.
01:02:25.640 And he's like, well, we're going to wait for a, we're going to wait for a, you know, I'm
01:02:29.540 not sure we're going to, and then the statute of limitations runs out.
01:02:32.780 And there, one of their things is just, why did that happen?
01:02:39.880 What, why wouldn't they file the charges?
01:02:41.860 We, we do it.
01:02:44.200 They file the charges and we get it done.
01:02:46.540 We kept warning them that the statute of limitations is running out.
01:02:50.280 It looks like they slow walk this intentionally for that.
01:02:54.140 But do you know who, um, do you know who Joseph Ziegler is?
01:02:57.760 He's, he's a, he's a Trump supporter.
01:03:02.920 Oh no, sorry.
01:03:05.440 Uh, no, he's, um, he's been a special agent for 13 years, uh, has earned multiple commendations
01:03:13.260 and he describes himself as a gay Democrat married to a man.
01:03:19.020 So it looks like we have somebody here who's just trying to do their job.
01:03:27.700 Uh, and, and that's the problem with us now, you know why you can't believe anybody?
01:03:34.260 Because you don't know if they have a horse in the race because it seems everybody has
01:03:40.320 a horse in the race.
01:03:41.560 Oh, he's only saying that because he wants, where are the people that say what they mean
01:03:47.840 and mean what they say?
01:03:50.740 Can we find them?
01:03:52.940 They used to be everywhere.
01:03:54.920 And the one who would lie to your face was rare.
01:03:59.740 I feel like it's going the other way.
01:04:01.900 I don't know.
01:04:02.480 Maybe it's just me.
01:04:04.740 You know, when people can just get on TV, get in and just lie to your face.
01:04:12.820 That's why we don't have trust with anyone.
01:04:15.020 Because all of those who are at the top of our society seem to be doing that.
01:04:20.920 Yeah.
01:04:21.200 Every once in a while, I, my mind brings me back to 2004 when John Kerry's campaign was
01:04:28.060 upended by saying, I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.
01:04:34.240 That's right.
01:04:34.840 Remember that?
01:04:35.320 It was like a huge moment in that campaign.
01:04:37.580 Yeah.
01:04:37.780 And like, I, it wouldn't even be a blip today.
01:04:42.480 No, not a blip.
01:04:43.000 Like, I, it's legitimately, no one would care.
01:04:46.520 No one.
01:04:47.360 The, no, they would paper over that in 10 seconds.
01:04:49.920 It wouldn't even be a one day story today because we just have built in now this idea
01:04:56.020 that everyone lies to us all the time and we accept it all the time.
01:05:00.000 And I wish we didn't, but we have.
01:05:02.900 You can't do anything.
01:05:03.980 I mean, that, you know, the, the Cloward-Piven idea is overwhelm the system.
01:05:10.220 Yeah.
01:05:10.500 So the system is overwhelmed and, you know, it just will collapse on its own weight, i.e.
01:05:16.560 too many, uh, immigrants here coming across our border.
01:05:20.200 It'll just collapse on its own weight.
01:05:21.800 Same thing.
01:05:22.920 If you overwhelm the system with lies, this, this system is not built for an entire society
01:05:30.980 just to not care about truth, just not built for that.
01:05:36.400 And it'll collapse on its own weight.
01:05:38.960 We've got to start telling the truth, no matter if it hurts or not.

01:07:05.420 So, the Justice Department announced a new rule to amend ATF regulations.
01:07:22.840 Now, who are you seeing this coming?
01:07:26.020 They have expanded the definition of a firearms dealer to include now those anyone who sells
01:07:35.340 even a single firearm.
01:07:38.120 So, if I don't sell anything except the one and I sell it to Stu, I'm now a firearms dealer?
01:07:48.900 What?
01:07:49.780 Why would they do that?
01:07:53.620 Well, because if you sell one gun and you're profiting on it, you need to conduct a background
01:08:00.800 check.
01:08:01.900 And those records are going to be possessed by the ATF.
01:08:05.660 And then they're going to be digitized and put into a searchable database.
01:08:09.640 Which, gosh, that sounds like gun registry, doesn't it?
01:08:12.620 A little bit?
01:08:13.440 I mean, maybe a lot?
01:08:14.980 But Aidan Johnston is here with us.
01:08:18.620 He's with Gun Owners of America.
01:08:21.780 He's the Federal Affairs Director, and he's up on this.
01:08:25.440 Aidan, that sounds like something that's illegal.
01:08:31.340 Well, this is a total infringement on your Second Amendment rights.
01:08:35.320 The law does not give Biden the authority to implement backdoor universal background checks
01:08:40.980 or backdoor registration checks.
01:08:43.000 But he's sure doing it anyway.
01:08:45.460 So what is the recourse on this?
01:08:50.780 Well, the Biden administration is going through the rulemaking process.
01:08:55.420 So we have the Congressional Review Act where Congress can strike down this rule.
01:09:00.440 And we already have a congressman, Andrew Clyde, who's preparing to use that process to strike
01:09:05.040 down this rule.
01:09:05.640 But, of course, Gun Owners of America also plans to file a lawsuit and take this rule change
01:09:13.860 down in court.
01:09:15.060 But we have to wait until the final rule is published.
01:09:17.840 Right now, it's the proposed rulemaking phase.
01:09:20.380 And it's time for the public to comment and tell the ATF why they shouldn't implement that
01:09:25.440 final rule.
01:09:25.960 So just so people understand that there's no such thing as a coincidence, what made this rule change
01:09:36.680 possible?
01:09:37.340 Well, last summer, folks might remember that a bunch of Republicans got together with every
01:09:44.340 Democrat and passed the biggest gun control in decades.
01:09:47.780 It was called the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
01:09:50.600 And there were a dozen things wrong with that gun control bill.
01:09:54.020 And Gun Owners of America, we opposed it.
01:09:56.580 We were we told Congress what was wrong with each thing.
01:09:59.860 And one of the things we mentioned was if you change the definition of what it means to
01:10:04.320 be a gun dealer, they're going to weaponize it against us.
01:10:07.240 And we knew Obama tried to do this on his last day in office with an executive order and
01:10:11.640 Trump reversed it.
01:10:12.860 So as soon as they touched that definition, of course, Biden was going to do the exact same
01:10:17.040 thing.
01:10:17.380 And gee, isn't this Senator Cornyn's compromise?
01:10:22.940 Yes.
01:10:23.240 And in fact, this definitional changes his little baby, his personal mission when he went to
01:10:28.720 the negotiating table was to make this change as if what we really needed was more government
01:10:33.520 regulating your private business.
01:10:36.020 It is remarkable to me that this guy is from the great state of Texas.
01:10:40.820 It's truly remarkable.
01:10:42.440 I don't know how that happens.
01:10:44.120 OK, so what do what do Americans need to do?
01:10:47.380 Well, right now, like I said, we're in the proposed rulemaking phase.
01:10:52.040 So you have to go to regulations.gov or to the Federal Register and submit a public comment
01:10:57.940 and tell the ATF, no, don't do this.
01:11:01.300 Now, if you don't want to do all that, you can also GOA or we'll help you.
01:11:07.020 If you become a member, we're going to be sending out an action alert.
01:11:11.480 It'll help you comment.
01:11:12.860 It'll give you a model to submit to the ATF.
01:11:16.980 And that will help us down the road.
01:11:18.640 When we file a lawsuit, we'll be able to say 100,000 gun owners, 200,000 gun owners said
01:11:23.840 that this is unconstitutional for X, Y and Z.
01:11:27.580 And the judge will take that into consideration.
01:11:29.880 So that's the next step that, like I said, we're also going to be fighting this in Congress.
01:11:34.480 But unfortunately, the way things are, Biden's issued a rule.
01:11:39.120 He's abusing his executive authority.
01:11:41.020 And it's a bit of a waiting game until this becomes finalized in a few months.
01:11:46.080 And for those who don't know, why is this such a bad deal to have them have a registry?
01:11:51.180 Well, so universal background checks might sound nice in theory, right?
01:11:58.240 Who wants a criminal to get a hold of a gun?
01:12:00.360 But there are a million ways that criminals always circumvent their background check system.
01:12:05.460 And less than 10% of criminals in jail actually obtained a gun legally.
01:12:10.300 But universal background checks are only enforceable with a gun registry.
01:12:15.340 To know who did and didn't run a background check, you have to know who owns what gun.
01:12:20.160 And if you own a gun and it wasn't registered to you, then it must have been transferred without a background check.
01:12:25.680 So this all plays in to something else that Joe Biden has also been doing, which is turning the forms 4473, which you filled out if you bought a gun at a gun store, into permanent gun registration forms.
01:12:39.880 And then sending those to a database in West Virginia.
01:12:44.260 How is he doing that?
01:12:45.900 That's illegal.
01:12:46.620 Well, in part, it's been going on for a long time.
01:12:50.720 When a gun store goes out of business, all of their records are supposed to be sent to the ATF.
01:12:55.600 And using that statute, which has been around for decades, the ATF has compiled over 900 million records in this database in West Virginia.
01:13:06.800 So almost 1 billion records of gun owners, the guns they own, their serial numbers.
01:13:12.860 And now the Biden administration last August changed another rule and said those records can no longer be destroyed by a gun store once they become 20 years old.
01:13:23.920 Which was the previous way of ensuring that most gun records didn't end up in this database and a permanent, complete gun registry was never created.
01:13:33.400 But now that means there is a there is a record of every single firearms transaction going back to August of 2002.
01:13:43.860 Every gun that was ever sold at a gun store with a background check has a forty four seventy three with the name, the Social Security number and the serial number of the gun that that person bought.
01:13:56.460 OK, again, talk to the people who don't know anything about guns that are listening and they go, well, that's not so bad.
01:14:03.460 We should know who has who has what guns.
01:14:06.640 Why is this?
01:14:07.400 But how can this go wrong with the American people?
01:14:09.920 Of course. Well, now the federal government has a list of everyone who owns a gun and what guns they own.
01:14:16.780 That's a prerequisite for gun confiscation.
01:14:20.000 Gun registration always leads to gun confiscation.
01:14:23.280 We've seen it time and time again, whether it's Australia or Nazi Germany.
01:14:27.600 When when the government knows what guns people own, that is a list of guns to take.
01:14:34.440 And the people in the Weimar Republic did it under the Weimar Republic, trusting their government.
01:14:40.140 And just didn't think about, oh, wait a minute.
01:14:42.480 What happens if bad guys take over the country?
01:14:44.360 And they did.
01:14:45.700 And you had to turn in your gun.
01:14:47.640 And some people waited.
01:14:49.740 You know, they were still within the rules, but they waited.
01:14:52.480 But the law at the time became if you have a gun, we shoot before we ask questions.
01:15:00.340 So now people were trying to get their gun to the police station.
01:15:04.900 But if they take it to the police station, they'll be shot and killed because they're holding a gun.
01:15:11.760 And it didn't work out well.
01:15:13.520 Didn't work out well for the German people.
01:15:15.780 You know, when they were turning their guns in also didn't work out a little later when they had no guns.
01:15:20.600 But no, of course, our founding fathers, when they wrote the Second Amendment, recognized that it was necessary to the security of our free state.
01:15:29.820 Our freedoms are able to be retained by the people because we have this check on the government.
01:15:36.880 But if the government has the ability to take your firearms in a moment because they have a billion records and a gun registry that needs to be destroyed, well, that is a threat on your Second Amendment.
01:15:48.680 And that undermines the security of our free state.
01:15:53.120 Aiden, thank you so much.
01:15:54.340 I really appreciate what you guys do.
01:15:56.060 It's gunowners.org, isn't it?
01:15:58.420 That is correct.
01:15:59.220 Yeah, gunowners.org.
01:16:00.740 Gunowners.org.
01:16:02.540 Thank you so much, Aiden.
01:16:03.640 I appreciate it.
01:16:04.240 You know, our Constitution isn't worth the paper it's printed on if you don't stand up for those rights.
01:16:13.160 You know, they're trampling.
01:16:14.540 All right, I got it right.
01:16:15.860 What are they doing?
01:16:16.540 They're taking away my right.
01:16:17.820 Yeah, well, you can say that all you want.
01:16:20.180 But until you put into action by standing up, letting your voice be heard, telling all your friends, all the gun owners that you know, this is what's happening.
01:16:31.980 Because did you know this was happening?
01:16:33.180 This happened last week.
01:16:34.240 Did you know this was happening?
01:16:38.280 They have overwhelmed the system far more than Barack Obama.
01:16:43.980 You know, what really pisses me off?
01:16:45.800 I can guarantee you.
01:16:47.020 I can guarantee you that the GOP has not sat down and had a group of constitutionalists sit down and say, okay, what is it that they've just done that we need to undo?
01:17:03.500 What is it?
01:17:05.060 What's our plan of attack?
01:17:06.340 They plan for years while they're out of office.
01:17:10.180 For years.
01:17:11.300 All four years of Trump.
01:17:12.700 All they did was war game.
01:17:14.340 When we get power back, what are we going to do?
01:17:16.800 And they make all of these tweaks.
01:17:19.120 And before you know it, you don't have any rights left.
01:17:23.500 You know, it's one thing to say, well, we're not going to, you know, what are we going to fight the government with pistols?
01:17:34.240 They got tanks and planes.
01:17:35.840 Yeah, yeah, that's weird.
01:17:37.920 They do.
01:17:38.620 Yet it seemed to do pretty well for the people in Afghanistan.
01:17:45.780 Like, I don't want to fight that.
01:17:48.460 But don't tell me that small arms don't make a difference.
01:17:53.140 And I don't ever want to fight the United States government ever.
01:17:57.300 But if they go rotten, if they go, I mean, if we're in the Weimar Republic years and all of a sudden we go into what comes next, yeah, I would say we shouldn't probably turn in our guns.
01:18:10.900 It would probably be a bad thing because history may not repeat itself exactly, but it does rhyme.
01:18:16.140 The Constitution, the more we go down this road and you haven't learned the Constitution, I haven't learned the Constitution, we don't understand the Bill of Rights, the more we're going to lose.
01:18:32.960 It really is amazing, too, that I don't, I think because we've been so blessed in this country to have a Constitution that has lasted this long and been taken seriously for most of the time the country's existed, we don't realize how rare that is.
01:18:47.960 No.
01:18:48.080 Right?
01:18:48.300 Like, and I think recently a lot of us have had to wake up to the fact that, you know, they're doing stuff like the student loan thing is a great example of it.
01:18:57.080 Just doing it.
01:18:57.720 Just doing it.
01:18:58.240 And you're just like, wait a minute, what about the Constitution?
01:19:00.400 And you realize their answer to that is, so what?
01:19:04.880 That's basically their comeback.
01:19:08.180 And when they say and a bunch of times, you realize how quickly this gets all slip away, right?
01:19:17.060 It is just a piece of paper, right?
01:19:20.760 And the Republicans, many of them say, look, yeah, I know, I know, the Constitution, I love the Constitution, but we have things to do.
01:19:27.740 Once they say, but I love the Constitution, but no, no, there is no, but we follow the concept.
01:19:35.180 All of our problems, all of our problems, every story we should do this show, every story, I could connect it to one of the things in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution that is being violated.
01:19:49.440 Every story that comes out, I can show it to you, show it to you.
01:19:57.040 That is who we are.
01:20:00.000 And we cannot lose that.
01:20:02.540 And we're it's it's close.
01:20:05.120 I mean, I always thought the Constitution was hanging by a thread in the past.
01:20:09.240 I don't know.
01:20:10.160 It's like one thread and it may have already been cut.
01:20:14.160 Time is running out to stand good, decent, honorable, honest people that just want a future for their children.
01:20:25.460 They want freedom for everybody.
01:20:28.020 But that means tolerance in a sane way.
01:20:32.340 More in a minute.
01:20:35.480 Imagine you're walking on a tightrope.
01:20:37.480 You're right in the middle when all of a sudden you see somebody taking a giant chainsaw to the rope.
01:20:41.960 Yeah.
01:20:42.280 Well, that's what's happening with the Fed.
01:20:44.780 Hey, you're walking out on this tightrope.
01:20:46.620 You're trying to keep your budget.
01:20:48.880 Federal Reserve has interest rate hikes that are starting to have severe negative consequences.
01:20:55.200 Economic safety nets are snapping.
01:20:57.320 Americans are right in the crosshairs for disaster.
01:21:00.160 Remember all those savings that you were relying on during the pandemic?
01:21:04.180 Yeah.
01:21:04.360 Well, those are drying up faster than expected as well.
01:21:07.360 The floor is dropping out beneath us and it's time to do something to protect yourself, your family and the savings that you have worked your whole life on.
01:21:17.280 Goldline can help you build that safe haven against insanity because it's not coming.
01:21:23.220 It's already here with the turbulence around.
01:21:26.320 You may be wondering, where do I turn?
01:21:28.540 One of the places you can turn to is Goldline.
01:21:31.700 Gold.
01:21:32.720 Silver.
01:21:33.840 It is time-tested.

01:22:02.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:04.900 Now, let's say you have a briefcase, and it has, I don't know, $150 million in it.
01:22:28.080 Okay.
01:22:29.000 You know, it's a big briefcase.
01:22:30.680 It's very large.
01:22:31.240 More like luggage, Samsonite, and you're just dragging it along, and you lose it.
01:22:38.160 You think your employer is going to be upset because you were just supposed to take it out, you know, for a walk and then bring it back to the bank.
01:22:44.420 Yeah, I think they'd be a little upset.
01:22:46.260 Now, let's suppose in that suitcase was also not just the money, but, like, all of the secret plans that we have, you know, as a country, and you lose it.
01:22:57.620 That would be a big suitcase, but yes, they'd be upset about that.
01:23:01.620 Well, it's on a thumb drive, but it's a big thumb, but it's a thumb drive.
01:23:07.160 Isn't that kind of what this F-35 story is?
01:23:11.760 The pilot goes out with a $150 million plane that has all of our most precious secrets in the plane.
01:23:22.780 He ejects.
01:23:24.280 We don't know why.
01:23:25.720 It was on autopilot, and it's a stealth plane, so you can't track it.
01:23:30.680 They don't know where it is.
01:23:31.840 He ejects, and it goes down somewhere, and they've been looking for it near Charleston, South Carolina, and they couldn't find it, couldn't find it, and now they just found it, and they have the Navy, or I'm sorry, the Marines going in, searching for all of the pieces of this plane.
01:23:52.120 I don't know.
01:23:53.380 That's more than a bad day for the pilot.
01:23:56.120 Suboptimal.
01:23:57.080 Suboptimal.
01:23:58.380 Suboptimal.
01:23:58.820 And the transponder that is on the plane just wasn't working, apparently.
01:24:04.600 You know, it wasn't.
01:24:06.060 It's a very weird story, I will say.
01:24:08.540 Yeah.
01:24:09.420 Yeah.
01:24:10.460 I hope there weren't any Chinese fishing boats out in the area, or maybe a Chinese balloon that might have been in the area.

01:28:01.500 I'm going to tell you the story of somebody who is an overachiever.
01:28:06.060 Okay.
01:28:06.840 Somebody who I think exists to make the rest of us look bad.
01:28:12.480 He's the number one New York Times bestseller and USA Today bestselling author of more than 40 novels.
01:28:19.500 Who does that except a show off?
01:28:22.900 There are currently more than 35 million copies of his books in print worldwide, translated into more than 24 languages.
01:28:31.180 Richard is also the recipient, but he's not 80, and that's how many countries there are.
01:28:37.360 So there's got to be at least 80 languages.
01:28:39.960 Richard is the recipient of numerous awards, including two first-place Storytelling World Awards,
01:28:46.320 the Romantic Times Best Women's Novel of the Year Award, and five-time recipient of the Wilbur Award.
01:28:52.740 Seven of Richard's books have been produced as television movies, but not eight.
01:28:57.340 His first feature film, The Noel Diary, starring Justin Hartley from This Is Us, is debuting, well, debuted last year.
01:29:07.820 In 2011, he began writing Michael Vey, a number one New York Times bestselling young adult series,
01:29:14.820 which has won more than a dozen awards.
01:29:18.340 There's nine number one sellers in that one.
01:29:22.140 Richard is now the founder of the Christmas Box International, an organization devoted to maintaining emergency children's centers
01:29:29.980 and providing services and resources for abused, neglected, and homeless children and young adults.
01:29:35.680 To date, more than 125,000 youths have been helped by the charity.
01:29:40.280 For his humanitarian work, Richard has received the Washington Times, not the humanitarian of the year.
01:29:46.960 Oh, no, that's too small for Richard.
01:29:49.340 He won the Humanitarian of the Century Award and the Volunteers of America National Empathy Award.
01:29:59.140 He's a show-off, and he's here.
01:30:01.100 Hello.
01:30:02.780 How are you, Richard?
01:30:04.220 That was a very generous introduction, but I'm a slacker.
01:30:07.860 You are?
01:30:08.460 Really?
01:30:09.360 Yeah, right.
01:30:10.660 You make me feel like I've done nothing in my life.
01:30:13.560 Richard Paul Evans is with us.
01:30:15.880 You have MichaelVay9 coming out.
01:30:20.100 Congratulations, Richard.
01:30:22.020 Thank you.
01:30:22.480 It's a great series.
01:30:24.620 Thank you.
01:30:26.260 This one is called The Traitor.
01:30:30.400 Yes.
01:30:31.020 Tell me about it.
01:30:31.660 Well, the last book, MichaelVay8, ended on a cliffhanger because Michael's best friend went to the other side.
01:30:41.280 And if you like politics inside books, you'll love this one because he makes a very compelling argument about where America is today and why Jack leaves.
01:30:54.540 Give me a bit of the argument.
01:30:56.260 Well, he just says it's a crumbling culture, and some things, ideologies, endure.
01:31:04.400 And the Chaskey had been around.
01:31:06.020 He said, we've been around for hundreds and hundreds of years.
01:31:08.940 We're just waiting our turn.
01:31:10.620 Okay, so tell me, where did you get this idea?
01:31:17.320 Because you, I mean, you've, I mean, this is the one thing I love about really great authors is they go different places, they see different things, write them down, and then just churn on it for a while.
01:31:31.440 Yeah, this one, I was in a hotel room, right?
01:31:34.700 I called my wife.
01:31:35.620 She goes, you're coming home.
01:31:36.420 I said, honey, I've got to go to the Amazon.
01:31:38.980 I said, what?
01:31:39.340 I said, I need to go into the Amazon.
01:31:41.740 And I go, I've already booked my flight.
01:31:43.420 I go deep in the Amazon.
01:31:45.320 It wasn't fun.
01:31:46.420 Lots of mosquitoes.
01:31:47.820 But, like, I'm just kind of putting the story together.
01:31:49.980 And I go, are there any airstrips?
01:31:51.420 And I go, well, there's a drug cartel house running about 30 miles.
01:31:54.440 I go, let's go see it.
01:31:56.160 And he goes, are you stupid?
01:31:58.340 No.
01:31:58.800 I said, well, they're not going to be using it right now.
01:32:00.360 It's like, how do you know that?
01:32:03.060 He's like, okay, I'll give that to you.
01:32:04.920 We won't go to the airstrips.
01:32:06.240 Yeah, that's probably a pretty good idea.
01:32:07.920 Probably a pretty good idea.
01:32:10.340 Richard, tell me the, you know, we have so many people that have been reading this series.
01:32:15.800 And I just, I know you do, and I do as well, just think this would make the greatest TV series ever.
01:32:22.120 And it is changing the lives of kids.
01:32:28.360 And it started, really, with your son, right?
01:32:31.780 It did.
01:32:32.460 My son, Michael, has Tourette's syndrome.
01:32:34.820 And, by the way, he adores you, Glenn.
01:32:37.580 He's a good kid.
01:32:39.200 He is a good kid.
01:32:40.560 But he struggles with, you know, with his Tourette's.
01:32:44.340 And I wanted to kind of normalize Tourette's syndrome.
01:32:47.420 I was hoping kids would read it.
01:32:49.400 What I found is that the whole series has really appealed to kids with any disability, especially autism.
01:32:55.940 I have a grandson with autism.
01:32:59.120 And it's like, it's just really, I mean, I'm at signings.
01:33:03.220 And I remember one time, six, the first six kids had autism and lying.
01:33:06.180 And one of the parents said, you've never come out for anything.
01:33:09.060 And I go, I love it because they feel empowered.
01:33:11.380 They feel strong.
01:33:12.160 They feel normalized.
01:33:13.900 And because my main character has Tourette's.
01:33:18.320 I remember I call it a disability because I have Tourette's.
01:33:20.400 And it's like, I think it's opened many doors for me.
01:33:23.600 So I love that.
01:33:24.400 I love that about Bay.
01:33:25.640 But Michael's a good kid.
01:33:27.500 In the world of swagger and trying to be mean, it's like Michael loves his mother.
01:33:32.320 Yeah.
01:33:33.480 So, you know, he's a good kid.
01:33:35.460 And I got a letter from a young woman in Paris a few years ago.
01:33:39.860 And she goes, Mr. Evans, you probably have been wondering where I am.
01:33:45.580 And she said to my sister, who is he?
01:33:48.440 She goes, keep reading.
01:33:50.420 And she goes, I'm in the hospital.
01:33:52.020 I tried to take my life.
01:33:53.980 I only have one friend in this world.
01:33:55.640 And it's Michael Bay.
01:33:56.880 And he's here in bed with me.
01:33:58.580 Just I'm holding the book.
01:34:00.360 And thank you so much for giving me someone I can believe in.
01:34:03.660 And it's like, that is the kind of experience I'm having around the world.
01:34:07.240 And it is a global bestseller.
01:34:08.840 There's more than three and a half million copies in print.
01:34:11.340 And, you know, if you haven't started Michael Bay, it gets kids to read.
01:34:16.720 It's like, do it.
01:34:19.320 Trust me, they'll like it.
01:34:20.440 They'll like it.
01:34:21.080 So I will tell you that my son, Rafe, is a voracious reader.
01:34:26.560 He was reading, oh, my gosh.
01:34:28.880 I think he read The Hunger Games by the time he was eight.
01:34:32.560 And I'm like, dude, dude, maybe not The Hunger Games.
01:34:35.360 And he's like, dad, really good.
01:34:37.600 Well written.
01:34:38.480 I'm like, okay.
01:34:40.220 And every summer we would read the Michael Bay, the new Michael Bay.
01:34:46.960 And we did it year after year.
01:34:49.700 My son has gone to college.
01:34:51.180 And I'm bummed that we're not going to be reading the next one together.
01:34:56.460 But he loved them.
01:34:58.700 And he read them every single summer we would read.
01:35:02.460 I mean, it was a tradition of ours.
01:35:03.940 And it is a great memory for both of us.
01:35:07.940 So thank you for that, Richard.
01:35:09.880 Oh, I love that.
01:35:11.320 I love that.
01:35:12.700 So when does it come out?
01:35:14.120 Is it out today?
01:35:15.580 It comes out today.
01:35:16.440 Today is day day.
01:35:17.840 So number nine comes out today.
01:35:20.020 Okay.
01:35:20.420 And, I mean, you remember, Glenn, a few years ago, I had finished the series at number seven.
01:35:24.760 And people are saying, well, why did you start it up again?
01:35:27.740 You know, part of it was COVID.
01:35:30.740 It was just, I mean, I'm getting thousands of letters from kids saying, please continue.
01:35:34.540 And they're giving me plot ideas.
01:35:36.960 And I just miss the kids.
01:35:39.140 It's, I mean, my last signing for number seven, we had 4,000 kids came to the book signing.
01:35:44.280 I'm not exaggerating.
01:35:45.180 Unbelievable.
01:35:46.380 Unbelievable.
01:35:47.500 Richard, thank you so much.
01:35:48.680 If you want to get a copy of this, it's on stores now.
01:35:51.220 If you haven't read the series, you should start at number one.
01:35:55.140 But number nine is out now.
01:35:56.940 And it is just a great series.
01:36:00.780 You know how we were talking just the other day?
01:36:03.400 All of our kids and our families, we sit down.
01:36:06.640 We were just talking about football.
01:36:07.940 And, you know, that Exorcist commercial came on over the weekend.
01:36:13.580 You're like, can we just have anything that we can do together as a family?
01:36:20.400 Is there anything that's not going to insult us or assault us?
01:36:25.600 And this is it.
01:36:27.800 The Richard Paul Evans electrifying series, Michael Vey.
01:36:33.820 It is back, Michael Vey 9, The Trader.
01:36:37.400 Get it now.
01:36:39.020 Read it with your family.
01:36:40.120 You will have a blast.
01:36:42.060 Thank you so much, Richard.
01:36:44.080 Thank you, Glenn.
01:36:44.700 You bet.
01:36:45.080 Bye-bye.
01:36:46.140 Okay.
01:36:46.640 Our sponsor this half hour is CarShield.
01:36:49.520 Warranties are designed to expire.
01:36:51.900 And that's just the truth.
01:36:53.000 And you know it.
01:36:53.520 As soon as the warranty is out, it's time to start keeping a close eye on that check engine light.
01:36:58.440 So, what if I told you you didn't have to worry about it anymore?
01:37:01.640 You could be on a monthly plan that will keep you covered.
01:37:05.060 This is so important.
01:37:06.740 Just like catastrophic health insurance, if something big goes wrong with you and your body, I mean, it can destroy you.
01:37:15.120 Same thing with your car.
01:37:16.240 You need your car.
01:37:17.980 These protection plans start as low as $100 a month, flexible month-to-month coverage, your choice of an ASE certified mechanic, the 24-hour coast-to-coast roadside assistance, complimentary towing, rental car options.
01:37:32.680 You also get no long-term contracts.
01:37:35.960 And CarShield administrators will handle all of the paperwork and repairs, so you don't have to.
01:37:40.440 Most important of all, considering the whole inflation problem, you get a price lock guarantee.
01:37:46.640 Your price will never go up.
01:37:48.660 No matter how many claims you file, it'll never go up, even as mileage on your car increases.
01:37:54.200 I've had CarShield on my trucks up at the ranch and the farm for a long, long time.
01:38:01.560 And they have really come in handy.
01:38:05.400 Those old cars and trucks, man, when you have to fix them there, it's expensive.
01:38:10.440 CarShield, 800-227-6100, 800-227-6100, carshield.com, slash Beck.
01:38:18.960 10 seconds, station ID.
01:38:20.140 So, New York City Council just passed a budget.
01:38:34.480 It's spending some of its time now advancing a plan that would get rid of those offensive monuments honoring figures such as Columbus and General George Washington.
01:38:46.840 Listen, the Democratic-led, no, this is Democratic, listen to the name of it and you'll see, it's Democratic-led?
01:38:54.120 Okay.
01:38:54.360 The Democratic-led Cultural Affairs Committee is set to hold a public hearing today on a proposal to yank artworks from city property dedicated to historic figures such as George Washington,
01:39:07.480 Christopher Columbus and others, Christopher Columbus and others because of their controversial past.
01:39:12.000 Now, let me ask you, do you know anyone who doesn't have a controversial past?
01:39:18.620 Today?
01:39:19.420 Today.
01:39:19.860 No, everyone does.
01:39:21.040 Everyone.
01:39:21.260 My guess is, if allowed for a full investigation, every member of the Cultural Affairs Committee would have a controversial past.
01:39:32.200 Right.
01:39:32.660 Okay.
01:39:33.500 So, you know, Angelo.
01:39:38.000 Angelo was the president of Columbus Heritage Coalition.
01:39:41.160 And he came up and said, Columbus was a migrant.
01:39:45.560 He vowed to fight any attempt to remove the monument.
01:39:48.780 And that is one of the most famous places.
01:39:52.260 There's two places that are very, very famous.
01:39:54.500 One is Columbus Circle.
01:39:56.900 Columbus Circle.
01:39:58.880 And it has the Statue of Columbus right in the center of it.
01:40:01.820 The other one is the big arch down by NYU.
01:40:06.660 Uh, what's it called?
01:40:08.560 What's it called?
01:40:08.980 What's it called?
01:40:09.440 Oh, the Washington Arch.
01:40:11.580 And it is to celebrate the victory of, of George Washington.
01:40:15.640 And there's a statue there.
01:40:17.060 So you'd have to take the arch and chisel everything off.
01:40:20.680 Uh, or, you know, just take, get rid of the arch because it's history.
01:40:25.640 And then take away the statue as well, which would be, you know, uh, hey, it, it would be,
01:40:32.660 it would be something there.
01:40:34.120 This is a bizarre thing.
01:40:38.440 And I think this is actually sort of a good sign for our society in a way, um, because
01:40:43.840 you go through our history and there were times in which people were really bad to each
01:40:51.380 other.
01:40:51.860 Really.
01:40:52.160 There were real problems in our country.
01:40:53.760 I don't know if anyone's looked back at our history at all.
01:40:55.700 There's been some, uh, eras of strife, I would say.
01:40:59.260 And, and, and it's like, when you get to a point where what you're mad about are statues
01:41:06.380 probably means your real problems have gone away.
01:41:09.860 Yeah.
01:41:10.440 You know, I think in reality, what you're complaining about here maybe isn't real.
01:41:15.040 Like if you have someone who has, um, uh, oppressed you, right?
01:41:22.580 That's really bad.
01:41:23.940 And then you go through a period where the oppressor, let's just say, is so, uh, adored
01:41:30.100 like the, you know, civil war icon or something.
01:41:33.380 Um, go back to, you know, for the confederacy and they even get, they're so adored that they
01:41:37.260 get statues made of them.
01:41:38.660 That era might be bad for other reasons.
01:41:41.960 The era in which everyone's like, our big problem today is the statue they made of the
01:41:47.080 bad guy from 150 years ago.
01:41:50.140 That era is not that bad.
01:41:51.980 That era is actually pretty sweet.
01:41:54.080 Maybe people should recognize that it's not quite as oppressive as they might be claiming.
01:41:58.560 But what about the statue of the guy that's 500 years old?
01:42:02.440 Okay.
01:42:03.280 Yeah.
01:42:03.680 There, that's, yeah.
01:42:04.600 Well, of course.
01:42:05.440 I mean, we got to get rid of that one, right?
01:42:07.100 Right.
01:42:07.500 Uh-huh.
01:42:07.920 Like, did you see this controversy with the, um, uh, the, uh, the Ibram X.
01:42:14.660 Kendi.
01:42:15.280 Oh, yeah.
01:42:15.860 Where one of his, I guess, co-anti-racist activists is now saying that he's been oppressed by Ibram
01:42:23.700 Kendi.
01:42:24.480 And this is going to be a cycle that goes on forever.
01:42:27.220 So, so great.
01:42:27.920 But when you read his posts, one, he says, it goes on and on and on and on.
01:42:31.080 And then he says, anti-racism, because he's mad at Ibram Kendi for manipulating, I guess,
01:42:35.760 him and their other workers.
01:42:37.280 Anti-racism is not a branding exercise, PR campaign, or path to self-promotion.
01:42:42.240 I have terrible news for you.
01:42:44.020 It's only those three things.
01:42:46.080 That's the, that's all it's ever been from the very beginning.
01:42:50.580 It's just that.
01:42:52.440 And now you've been oppressed by that while participating in that.
01:42:57.840 This is just like, you get to a point where there are people around the world really struggling
01:43:02.580 with real things.
01:43:03.880 And we're like, well, what about that arch?
01:43:08.200 I just, come on.
01:43:09.740 What, what about that painting of Jefferson that's in the city hall that everybody's talking
01:43:16.960 about?
01:43:17.780 You know, that Columbus circle still got Columbus in the circle.
01:43:23.200 We got to get Columbus out of the circle.
01:43:26.640 Okay.
01:43:27.420 Dummy.
01:43:28.880 Can you imagine how pissed would you be if you lived in New York right now?
01:43:33.100 I mean, you'd, you'd be insane.
01:43:35.000 You'd be like, uh, that lady was just raped a block and a half ago.
01:43:40.340 That guy was shot in the foot.
01:43:42.760 That one was just robbed.
01:43:44.860 And you're sitting here talking about Columbus.
01:43:48.360 And you know what?
01:43:49.460 This story, if covered on CNN, will get favorable coverage that these people are questioning these
01:43:57.660 things, despite the fact that CNN as a corporation picked Columbus circle to build their headquarters
01:44:03.680 in New York.
01:44:05.900 They could have picked any other street or any other circle, any other circle in the
01:44:11.740 city.
01:44:12.060 They picked that one because it's nice and it overlooks as an, as you know, Glenn, you
01:44:16.700 remember from back in the day, first of all, fantastic lunchroom, the best lunchroom
01:44:22.060 I've ever been in my entire life at a workplace.
01:44:25.360 Yeah.
01:44:25.580 Food.
01:44:26.420 Fantastic.
01:44:27.560 Overlooks Central Park.
01:44:28.900 Yeah.
01:44:29.340 Overlooks the Columbus circle.
01:44:31.000 Yeah.
01:44:31.440 Statue.
01:44:32.300 Right there.
01:44:32.620 You can see it right out the window.
01:44:33.920 Right out the window.
01:44:34.620 So yeah, we could, we could see it every day at work.
01:44:36.920 Cause we just looked out over the, you know, the newsroom, which was the pit of despair
01:44:41.800 right into the Columbus, right into Columbus.
01:44:44.640 And you know, they could, they could have, they could have boarded up the windows.
01:44:47.640 So their company, their employees wouldn't see that oppression, but no, they, they kept
01:44:52.580 those glass windows nice and clear.
01:44:54.300 So everyone could look out and see that oppressor Christopher Columbus, uh, right in the middle
01:44:59.140 of the circle.
01:44:59.760 Yeah.
01:44:59.860 Well, I've got some more good news for you.
01:45:02.040 Um, woke LGBTQ Americans are shocked, shocked to find out.
01:45:09.560 I can barely even read this to find out the Muslim community does not support their values.
01:45:15.220 What?
01:45:15.880 Yeah.
01:45:16.560 Yeah.
01:45:17.440 Yeah.
01:45:17.720 Yeah.
01:45:17.760 I mean, what the people who brought you Sharia law, they don't.
01:45:23.720 Oh, no.
01:45:24.360 Sharia law is a scam.
01:45:25.460 That's actually a right wing conspiracy.
01:45:27.140 Oh, is it?
01:45:27.740 Yeah.
01:45:28.000 Is it?
01:45:28.260 You don't remember that?
01:45:28.860 All right.
01:45:29.460 So those devout people of a devout faith where, you know, they like to cover up the
01:45:36.240 bodies of people, not the way you do in New York, but cover up living bodies, you know,
01:45:42.100 women, um, you thought they were for the gay pride parades.
01:45:49.700 If they come up with a trans spokesman, I'm definitely saying it's not believable because
01:45:55.080 that, that's one step too far for me, but it is, it's amazing because, you know, the
01:46:01.640 right is seen as these, this horrible, again, oppressors in this situation.
01:46:06.340 And I think like the stance of, of the right, which is basically like, look, just don't force
01:46:11.320 your stuff on us.
01:46:12.200 And we'll, we'll, we don't want the government forcing anything on anybody and you do your
01:46:15.940 thing and please let us work.
01:46:18.120 We reserve the right to judge your behavior if we, if we feel like it, but we're all going
01:46:22.660 to kind of do our own thing.
01:46:23.620 Hey, that seems oppressive to you.
01:46:25.800 I know, but wait until you see the Islamic version of this because you're not going to
01:46:29.980 like it.
01:46:30.460 It's not a live and let live situation in this Islamic country.
01:46:33.880 In some states, uh, some countries, it, uh, it begins with a tour of the roof.
01:46:38.920 There are, uh, yes, you know, the people we're paying billions of dollars to right now in
01:46:44.760 foreign countries for our hostages, uh, those people, yeah, it usually starts and, uh, but
01:46:49.940 it doesn't, it's the last stop on the tour.
01:46:52.060 I'll say, I'll say that.
01:46:52.820 Well, there is one more stop and that stop is pretty abrupt.
01:46:56.980 It's very abrupt, sadly, very, but, uh, you just keep on thinking that that, uh, them
01:47:02.920 banning the pride flags in the city property is a, an act of betrayal.
01:47:07.780 Oh, that shows how stupid you really are.

01:48:31.660 Hello, America.
01:48:46.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:48:47.900 We're glad you're here.
01:48:50.160 So Russell Brand is in trouble.
01:48:55.560 Now, here's something.
01:48:57.080 I want to read this from the BBC.
01:49:01.660 From the BBC, Russell Brand resurfaced clips give a sobering reminder of noughties culture.
01:49:13.360 The noughties are the knots, you know, as in the zero zeros of the early century, the early
01:49:20.680 part of the zeros are the noughties.
01:49:22.920 We're being very naughty right now.
01:49:26.020 From BBC, the noughties aren't so long ago that it's possible to dismiss them as a different
01:49:32.320 age, but there are parts of the decade that British culture would rather forget.
01:49:37.020 Russell Brand was at the center of a messy celebrity scene in the 2000s that now feels
01:49:42.560 like the cool Britannia party gone sour.
01:49:45.900 The recent allegations against the comedian and resurfaced clips of things he said and did
01:49:51.560 on the air and on stage have provided a sobering reminder of the seedier side of pop and media
01:49:58.640 culture in that decade.
01:50:00.060 Okay.
01:50:00.600 Hang on.
01:50:02.000 All right.
01:50:02.400 First of all, Russell Brand is kind of like their Howard Stern.
01:50:08.580 Okay.
01:50:09.700 Okay.
01:50:10.360 You know exactly what you were getting in those days with Russell Brand.
01:50:14.940 Okay.
01:50:16.360 Just think Howard Stern.
01:50:19.940 Now, it's provided a sobering reminder of the seedier side of pop media culture in that
01:50:28.640 decade.
01:50:29.340 Could I just ask the BBC to turn on the radio and listen to the lyrics of songs they're now
01:50:36.900 playing?
01:50:37.880 Because I guarantee there's something playing on the BBC about somebody's butt doing something.
01:50:42.620 Among the claims, now listen to this, resurfaced clips is what this is all about.
01:50:50.520 Among the claims in Channel 4's recent dispatched investigation into the star, there was a clip
01:50:59.780 from his BBC Radio 2 show in 2007 that seemed to have gone largely unnoticed at the time.
01:51:07.080 In it, Brand interviewed Jimmy Saville.
01:51:09.160 Now, Jimmy Saville was a big, big radio host.
01:51:15.400 Top of the pops, right?
01:51:16.880 Top of the pops.
01:51:18.080 Everybody loved Jimmy Saville.
01:51:20.780 They found out that he's a child predator and was molesting kids in the hospital while
01:51:27.940 he was visiting.
01:51:29.920 But nobody knows this at the time.
01:51:32.580 Among claims in Channel 4's recent dispatches, it shows him on BBC in 2007.
01:51:39.100 In it, Brand interviewed Jimmy Saville and apparently offered up his very attractive assistant to
01:51:43.960 go meet him naked.
01:51:45.700 Sound like Howard Stern?
01:51:47.400 Right.
01:51:48.040 Okay.
01:51:48.420 This is in 2007.
01:51:51.160 In 2007, he said this to the BBC host of Top of the Pops.
01:51:58.480 Another BBC host said, hey, you go ahead and take my assistant here.
01:52:05.080 She'll get naked.
01:52:06.580 Ha ha ha ha ha.
01:52:07.980 Funny.
01:52:08.880 He said, naughty word.
01:52:11.700 Naughty.
01:52:12.200 Get it?
01:52:13.520 Okay.
01:52:15.040 When did they expose, so to speak, Jimmy Saville being a child predator?
01:52:21.700 When was that still?
01:52:24.200 2012?
01:52:25.480 2012.
01:52:27.200 So, something that went unnoticed in 2007.
01:52:33.720 Because no one knew about the accusation.
01:52:36.480 No one knew about it.
01:52:38.160 Okay.
01:52:39.000 While the clip was from before Saville had been exposed as a serial sexual predator, it's
01:52:45.640 scarcely believed now that it was broadcast on Britain's biggest radio station.
01:52:50.580 You know, wait a minute.
01:52:51.600 Hang on just a second.
01:52:52.380 Not that Russell Brand said that.
01:52:54.960 That's not really the problem, the BBC.
01:52:57.620 The problem is you hired that guy and held him up as a hero for decades on the BBC.
01:53:05.280 It's one of several clips of Brand pushing the line between outrageous and offensive stuff
01:53:12.540 that were used in a Channel 4 documentary on Saturday.
01:53:16.760 Okay.
01:53:17.780 They're doing an expose on what they aired 20 years ago and making Russell Brand into the
01:53:27.400 bad guy.
01:53:28.460 You aired it!
01:53:30.580 You aired it!
01:53:32.360 I mean, it's like Westwood One coming in and saying, let me tell you something.
01:53:41.780 I want to show you some videotape of what Howard Stern was doing.
01:53:46.840 Yeah, because you were paying him to do it!
01:53:50.380 How is that a problem for him and not you?
01:53:52.760 I don't know.
01:53:54.440 It's crazy.
01:53:56.280 And they actually are sort of doing that to Stern now, right?
01:53:58.820 Like, there's definitely people who are out there looking for...
01:54:02.760 Looking?
01:54:03.280 You spend five minutes and you can find it.
01:54:05.360 You can find it.
01:54:06.260 You know?
01:54:06.600 Of course!
01:54:06.860 I actually...
01:54:07.740 Just over the September 11th, you know, anniversary, happened to stumble upon this Howard Stern
01:54:13.200 show from September 11th.
01:54:16.160 Wow!
01:54:17.100 It is a different era.
01:54:18.640 Yeah.
01:54:19.320 The difference in what...
01:54:23.060 As that's going on, they're watching planes hit the buildings in real time.
01:54:26.120 It's a fascinating thing to watch just from a historical perspective, but the anger on
01:54:30.620 the show and the way that they were talking, the words they were saying, the things that
01:54:35.540 came out of their mouths, the...
01:54:37.260 It was...
01:54:38.380 I mean...
01:54:38.800 Were they singing songs about doing things with people's butts?
01:54:41.760 They were not.
01:54:42.440 Okay.
01:54:42.800 It was none of that.
01:54:43.580 They were doing that right before the segment.
01:54:44.940 Okay.
01:54:45.440 All right.
01:54:45.940 Right before the planes actually hit the buildings.
01:54:47.340 But it was interesting to just hear the...
01:54:49.160 I mean, Robin Quivers in particular, like, was ready to nuke the entire Middle East.
01:54:53.900 It was like, it was pretty interesting to watch, but like, they're going back, you go
01:54:58.660 back and watch those shows.
01:54:59.840 Look, it was a different time.
01:55:00.980 These are...
01:55:01.540 You're going to judge these by today's standards.
01:55:04.540 That's always dumb.
01:55:06.220 It's always dumb to go back to a previous era and judge it by today's standards.
01:55:10.940 It's always dumb to do that.
01:55:13.340 And it does seem to be what everyone wants to do.
01:55:16.500 Well, I just can't take the employer doing a documentary on how outrageous he was and
01:55:23.500 how he should be stoned to death.
01:55:26.580 At the time, they were paying him to do those things.
01:55:30.820 I mean, it's sad.
01:55:32.620 That takes quite the balls.
01:55:34.440 Well, and the BBC in particular is, in the Russell Brand situation, is specifically accused.
01:55:41.820 Like, they are like...
01:55:43.080 They were saying they were helping it along.
01:55:45.260 I mean, that's the accusation.
01:55:46.740 Yeah.
01:55:47.360 Yeah, so maybe somebody should do a documentary on BBC.
01:55:50.860 Right.
01:55:51.160 Like, they were sending cars to pick up the girls that were 16 years old for Russell Brand.
01:55:57.060 Which, by the way, was not illegal at the time.
01:55:59.920 It sounds horrible, but it wasn't illegal at the time.
01:56:02.840 And that's...
01:56:03.380 No one's just saying that it was illegal.
01:56:05.080 Right.
01:56:05.300 But not necessarily the best...
01:56:06.620 Now, why is this all happening to him?
01:56:08.840 Why?
01:56:09.440 Why?
01:56:10.120 Why?
01:56:11.140 Why?
01:56:12.100 It's a good question.
01:56:13.480 I think there's a very obvious answer to it.
01:56:16.680 Go ahead.
01:56:17.260 Well, when he was famous and married to Katy Perry and doing all this, there was no news of these accusations.
01:56:23.660 He was known as a bad guy, right?
01:56:26.820 Like, a very promiscuous guy to his own telling.
01:56:28.560 He wrote a book about it.
01:56:29.280 He was addicted to drugs.
01:56:30.260 He was addicted to alcohol.
01:56:31.060 And he's changed all of that.
01:56:32.740 He says he's addicted.
01:56:33.540 He's changed all of that and has become a commentator who has been skeptical of some
01:56:39.620 of the things you're not allowed to be skeptical of, like COVID, climate change, ESG standards.
01:56:46.580 Yeah.
01:56:46.780 The World Economic Forum is his biggest thing.
01:56:49.920 Hmm.
01:56:50.860 And now he's being targeted for this.
01:56:52.240 Now he's being targeted for that.
01:56:53.340 Now, look, I think you, of course, would agree that if he committed horrible crimes against
01:56:56.800 people, he should be punished for them.
01:56:58.760 Yes.
01:56:59.020 Even if he has reformed his character, he still is held responsible for crimes.
01:57:04.540 Yes.
01:57:04.960 But this does not seem to be what's, it may not be what's going on.
01:57:10.460 I'm having a hard time in this culture where we just make accusations and we destroy people.
01:57:15.160 Now, listen.
01:57:15.800 Agreed.
01:57:16.200 Russell Brand has now been demonetized by YouTube.
01:57:22.480 Now, what does that mean?
01:57:24.100 Russell Brand makes his money on his YouTube videos.
01:57:28.080 Okay.
01:57:28.360 So they've just demonetized him.
01:57:31.320 So they won't sell or give him any money for what he's doing.
01:57:36.720 The BBC said it to remove some programs featuring him from its streaming services.
01:57:43.180 So they were still paying for the guy.
01:57:46.620 Now it looks like YouTube is doing the same.
01:57:52.360 I'm trying to find the YouTube because the quote from YouTube is absolutely amazing.
01:58:01.820 Where is it?
01:58:02.260 Where is it?
01:58:04.500 Brent took his online social media platforms.
01:58:06.780 saying it was a coordinated attack.
01:58:09.880 Yes, it was.
01:58:12.740 They said that now I can't find the exact quote.
01:58:16.640 While you're looking for that, can we just think about quickly about what the line is here?
01:58:19.860 Because there's a process that goes on when you are going to be convicted of a crime.
01:58:25.520 And that begins with an accusation.
01:58:27.920 Then becomes an investigation.
01:58:31.300 Then comes a charge filed against you.
01:58:34.520 Then comes a conviction.
01:58:36.160 Then comes a sentence.
01:58:38.520 A sentence, right?
01:58:39.180 Why can't these companies just draw a line?
01:58:45.120 Like make the line, what's the line?
01:58:47.040 A charge?
01:58:48.280 Right?
01:58:48.480 Like if someone gets criminally charged with something, we're going to pull them off of our service.
01:58:53.420 Is that fair?
01:58:54.220 I don't know.
01:58:55.080 We used to believe it was conviction.
01:58:57.480 That's what I would go with personally.
01:58:59.620 If you're convicted of a crime, even if you might still say you're innocent, we have to have some way of sorting this out.
01:59:04.900 That's what our legal system is for.
01:59:06.040 And if you want to do that, then, you know, if you want to take it off early, you just pay the person.
01:59:11.680 Pay the person.
01:59:12.840 So you don't destroy their life.
01:59:15.460 The NFL, if you're under contract and someone comes up with an accusation and they think they need to pull you off, they pull you out and they put you on the commissioner's suspended list.
01:59:23.480 But you're still getting paid because, look, there's no conviction.
01:59:27.220 Nothing has been proven.
01:59:28.440 If you're proven in a court of law to be guilty of a crime, it makes sense.
01:59:32.700 You might want to like that is the line probably.
01:59:34.760 Instead, what it is, is if someone accuses you.
01:59:37.980 Now, of course, people have been saying bad things about Russell Brand for a really long time.
01:59:41.440 He's been saying bad things about himself for a very, very long time.
01:59:44.740 All the money that came through YouTube was fine until this news story was written.
01:59:50.220 Again, he has not been even charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one.
01:59:55.540 He's not even been charged.
01:59:56.820 Now, he may be charged and convicted later on.
01:59:59.260 He might be.
01:59:59.820 But he hasn't been yet.
02:00:01.080 Correct.
02:00:01.900 He says his relationships were always consensual.
02:00:05.040 He was accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013.
02:00:10.120 He denies the claims.
02:00:11.880 Were any charges filed?
02:00:13.720 Did anybody go to the police at the time?
02:00:16.560 Anything?
02:00:17.880 Anything?
02:00:19.660 He says it's no.
02:00:21.440 I don't want to judge because I don't know.
02:00:23.760 We're not in a courtroom.
02:00:25.420 But here's what YouTube said.
02:00:28.800 You ready for this standard, Stu?
02:00:31.320 See if this is a little earlier than conviction.
02:00:39.460 If a creator's off-platform behavior harms our users, our employees, or ecosystem, we take action.
02:00:52.680 Okay.
02:00:55.420 Now, I don't know how his off-platform behavior in 2006 harmed the...
02:01:00.840 Was that before YouTube even existed?
02:01:02.940 Yeah.
02:01:03.580 It harmed your users, employees, or ecosystem.
02:01:07.760 What they're saying is, if somebody calls in our ecosystem and says,
02:01:13.500 I can't believe you guys are doing this.
02:01:16.180 I'm not going to advertise.
02:01:17.940 Or I'm not going to provide that chair for your conference room.
02:01:22.200 I'm not going to do it.
02:01:23.180 Because you would keep him up.
02:01:24.800 That harms the ecosystem.
02:01:26.960 And they can take action.
02:01:29.060 This is...
02:01:30.100 We live in the Salem witch trial times.
02:01:33.380 It's true.
02:01:33.940 And you know what, though?
02:01:34.940 I can understand how these companies react this way.
02:01:39.060 I mean, go back to your book, Dark Future and The Great Reset.
02:01:41.640 But, I mean, and then, great example of this is Twitter.
02:01:45.560 You know, you go use Twitter or whatever the heck they're calling it this week.
02:01:49.700 And, I mean, if I get another ad for Cheech and Chong gummies, I'm going to...
02:01:54.760 Like, every one of their ads are just trash.
02:01:58.720 Because there's no companies on there anymore.
02:02:00.960 They've all just left because Elon Musk said, you're allowed to speak freely.
02:02:05.240 So, all the companies just left.
02:02:07.500 I mean, he himself is saying that the revenue is down 80%.
02:02:10.880 He himself is being charged with crimes that are not crimes.
02:02:16.160 He's charged with not hiring, you know, new migrants that don't have green card, don't
02:02:22.460 have anything.
02:02:23.700 That is the DOJ and the Pentagon's rule for a rocket company.
02:02:30.760 It's unbelievable.
02:02:32.800 Christy wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green.
02:02:35.500 And she says, we have two pointers who hunt at least four days a week, if not more.
02:02:40.960 Their skin has been dry, flaky, their coats dull and rough.
02:02:45.100 Well, within two weeks of using Rough Greens, we've been able to see a bounce back level energy,
02:02:49.960 as well as their coats being amazingly shiny and smooth and no more dry, flaky skin.
02:02:55.260 We couldn't be happier.
02:02:56.940 Christy, thank you for writing in.
02:02:58.480 That's a lot of hunting.
02:03:00.460 God bless you.
02:03:01.640 But I need to know where you live so I can go get meat from you someday.
02:03:05.500 Someday.
02:03:06.080 This is not a dog food.

02:03:12.140 dog's food.

02:03:37.300 The Glenn Beck Program.
02:03:38.620 Gosh darn it, I'm out of time and I'm not going to have time to play the Kamala Harris
02:04:01.980 on combating environmental racism.
02:04:05.380 That is exactly what I would expect out of you.
02:04:09.640 Oh no, I do have time.
02:04:11.000 I do.
02:04:11.620 Here we go.
02:04:12.200 Play it.
02:04:13.680 Cut six, please.
02:04:16.280 Or not.
02:04:18.800 No, apparently that was...
02:04:21.520 Apparently don't have time for that one.
02:04:22.900 Ah, see, again, you were like, now people will say, oh, I guess Glenn doesn't, isn't an environmental
02:04:27.980 racist.
02:04:28.460 But you could see in reality, he was just playing this off.
02:04:31.680 What is the, how is environmental racist?
02:04:34.560 How are you, you just, you pollute in bad sections of town where there are minorities?
02:04:39.060 That's basically the case here, right?
02:04:40.860 Like you let all the pollution happen in countries that, of people who don't look like you and
02:04:45.380 areas, you know, near the airport where minorities live in their words.
02:04:50.920 And that's, I guess, some way of, you make the nice suburbs where whiteys live, that's
02:04:57.820 the nice clean area.
02:04:59.000 And then you put all the pollution down in the bad areas.
02:05:02.480 We do.
02:05:02.920 And that, especially air pollution, it stays there.
02:05:05.220 It does.
02:05:05.700 That's the nice thing.
02:05:06.840 Here it is.
02:05:07.400 Here it is for you is what measures do you support to combat environmental racism and
02:05:12.740 its impact on vulnerable populations?
02:05:16.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:05:20.000 Here comes a great answer.
02:05:21.160 There's so much there.
02:05:22.280 I mean, we talked about it in terms of equity and inclusion and diversity, right?
02:05:26.900 We need to, first of all, agree and acknowledge that there are systems that have been long in
02:05:35.480 place that need to be reformed.
02:05:37.000 So, for example, our criminal justice system.
02:05:39.900 Oh, yeah.
02:05:40.820 And the work that we need to do to recognize the disparities that exist there.
02:05:45.740 Well, I got to tell you, so far, what they've done to revamp our criminal justice system,
02:05:51.420 it's working really well.
02:05:52.820 The Alanian complex.
02:05:54.160 Plan back.
02:05:56.720 Program.
02:05:57.300 Program.
02:05:57.860 .
02:05:58.200 .
02:05:59.920 All right.
02:06:00.920 And,
02:06:01.400 and,
02:06:01.720 and,
02:06:01.780 and,
02:06:02.700 and,
02:06:03.500 and,
02:06:04.120 and,
02:06:05.620 and,
02:06:07.520 and,
02:06:08.700 and,
02:06:09.780 and,
02:06:09.820 and,
