00:02:14.600
and we we begin with the growing state in 60 seconds
00:02:21.680
the glenbeck program all right if you have a mortgage on your home there is a good chance you
00:02:29.840
can find a better rate or you know more comfortable loan terms right now the market is still in your
00:02:35.180
favor and getting rates under three percent is still possible federal housing finance agency has gotten rid
00:02:41.300
of the adverse market fee so you have even a better chance of saving the kind of money that can
00:02:46.580
really make a difference in your monthly savings if you're the fiscally responsible type um you know
00:02:53.660
that a constant worry during your working years is that by the time you're ready to retire you won't be
00:02:58.320
able to and there's a ton of reasons why that's a healthy fear to have i don't know if any of us are
00:03:05.120
going to be able to retire right now the government wants you to take loans out they want you to take
00:03:11.140
loans out and so they're making it very very easy to take loans out because what they want you to do
00:03:16.260
is save 200 300 500 even a thousand dollars a month and then go take that money and go spend it
00:03:23.160
here's what i'd like you to do i'd like you to take those greedy sobs and i'd like you to borrow the
00:03:30.140
money at a lower interest rate and then use that money to pay things off imagine if you had a thousand
00:03:36.820
a month how fast you could pay your mortgage off if you just took that thousand and you applied it
00:03:41.980
to the mortgage without the interest just right pay down the uh principal you can do this with your
00:03:48.720
credit cards your uh your home mortgage it is a really really good thing that i think you should
00:03:54.320
you should look into today by calling american financing at 800-906-2440 800-906-2440

00:04:11.440
tonight on the wednesday night special at 9 p.m this is a must watch on blaze tv i am focusing on
00:04:20.020
an alarming new strategy from the white house it's something that america barely even noticed when it
00:04:26.560
was released last month we did and we started our researchers looking into it big media just
00:04:33.260
rubber stamped it with their approval but it was put together by the national security council and
00:04:39.360
it is a blueprint for sweeping government action called the national strategy for countering domestic
00:04:47.100
terrorism with zero focus on movements like blm and antifa which has caused over a billion
00:04:56.240
dollars in physical damage in the last year and how many people have died zero focus on ransomware
00:05:03.720
attacks from russia and china and zero focus on the ongoing threats from radical islamic terrorist
00:05:09.620
groups this national strategy declares america's greatest national security threat to be violent
00:05:15.820
extremists principally those who promote the superiority of the white race now those guys have always been a
00:05:24.360
problem um and i don't i'm not for white supremacy you're no friend of mine if you're a white supremacist
00:05:31.900
you're an idiot and if you're a violent white supremacist and you'll get your you're a nazi so i don't really
00:05:39.440
know what to say about those guys other than i've always been against them and i think most people are
00:05:44.900
this white house strategy however has disturbing implications for the constitutional rights of all americans
00:05:53.360
as we're already seeing governments as if surveillance systems turning their focus on us
00:05:59.020
the u.s citizen the capitol riots on january 6th foolish tragic awful everybody i know was against it
00:06:08.020
but predictably the white house and the u.s national security apparatus are seizing that event
00:06:14.300
to redefine domestic terrorism that is exactly that's all this thing this hearing is about
00:06:20.760
to expand the powers of government to prevent you from speaking you need to know about their new
00:06:29.340
blueprint for big government and big tech to surveil root out and silence all of america's quote unquote
00:06:35.420
deplorables all in the name of national security tonight is a very important wednesday night special
00:06:42.700

00:06:58.860
make sure you use the promo code glenn and you'll save 10 percent on tonight's special now let me go
00:07:04.740
through a couple of things that we're not going to have time to cover and this should tell you
00:07:09.380
something big tech uh has now uh partnered with the government the biggest u.s tax uh tech companies
00:07:21.420
including facebook microsoft they are expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a
00:07:29.040
key database this is part of the national strategy so here's what they're doing the group will add
00:07:38.280
attacker manifestos often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence can you tell me
00:07:44.420
still the last white supremacist violence that you saw in the news maybe charlottesville a few of the
00:07:51.400
people of january 6th yeah okay but yeah uh not there's not not a big factor in our country there are not a lot of
00:07:57.660
white supremacists in our nation i know this is shocking to the mainstream media uh so here's the
00:08:03.280
thing uh they are now they're now working together and they will use lists from intelligence sharing
00:08:10.660
group five eyes do you know what five eyes is come on five eyes anybody five eyes are and i'm gonna i'm
00:08:20.500
gonna blow this here but it's uh france australia england the united states maybe germany i can't remember
00:08:31.000
but it's the biggest western uh intelligence group so our cia you know mi6 they work together and it's
00:08:42.360
five five eyes canada is is one of them uh and we share all of the information as much as we care to
00:08:50.660
share well now we are sharing a database of extremists and those who are anti-government
00:08:58.960
it's uh australia canada new zealand uk and the united states okay all right uh anyway so
00:09:07.680
we are now playing with counter-terrorism organizations
00:09:13.400
and they are now starting to um uh access a global database and they're getting input from reddit
00:09:26.380
snapchat facebook instagram verizon media microsoft linkedin dropbox all of that is going
00:09:37.580
to a global database is this a is this a problem is this a problem and by the way at the same time
00:09:46.300
these high tech companies are saying that you're lying and if you're lying about things they're going
00:09:52.980
to they're going to make sure that your disinformation or misinformation of specifically about the virus
00:09:59.220
that if you're not telling the truth on that you're going to be banned well you know it's really
00:10:06.460
really weird um if you were looking at uh if you were watching the internet at all you might have
00:10:14.440
heard about this person that just left the f the er and that when they were in the hospital there for
00:10:21.820
covid they they saw that we are officially being crushed by this delta variant it is it's much more
00:10:30.700
dangerous uh dangerous uh than ever before uh than ever before and it's it's somebody who wrote this
00:10:36.320
just left the er um unfortunately that's not true because that exact message is being tweeted out
00:10:47.300
by several people and we're kind of wondering who did that and where are the fact checkers on this one
00:10:55.360
who is who is uh putting out propaganda and pushing that out so everybody goes and worries
00:11:03.720
about the delta um uh virus who's doing that because twitter is all over misinformation in fact
00:11:15.260
yesterday twitter suspended the 2020 election audit accounts now these for multiple states
00:11:23.900
they banned accounts linked to the official 2020 election audits these are the official state uh accounts
00:11:34.760
so they just thought that they should ban the audit war room in wisconsin uh in nevada in pennsylvania
00:11:46.960
in georgia but other than that don't worry about it and i guess this happened because
00:11:53.880
uh ken bennett who is the gop secretary of state in arizona he is the liaison to the ongoing audit
00:12:02.140
and he came out last week and he said i can't be a part of a process where i'm kept out of the
00:12:06.820
critical aspects along the way to make the audit legitimate and have integrity when we produce the
00:12:12.760
final report he said i've been asking how are you coming up with these numbers what are the things and
00:12:18.240
he's now been banned from this he said i i can't vouch for a final product unless there's transparency
00:12:25.680
and i can see how they're coming to these conclusions
00:12:29.000
i don't know if that's what led to the twitter ban but twitter makes wants to make sure that you don't
00:12:37.420
know what is happening with the audit the un has just a greenlit uh big tech mega database
00:12:45.400
to censor american extremists online big tech uh it was a uh group led by the most powerful and the
00:12:56.340
most influential online um they are going to broaden now their shared censorship data to curb extremist
00:13:04.560
content and collect video and images deemed white supremacist according to reuters the expansion comes
00:13:11.640
after the group took on renewed urgency after january 6th facebook microsoft twitter youtube tech oligarchs
00:13:19.580
trigger trigger happy to de-platform political dissidents founded the global internet forum to counter
00:13:26.640
terrorism in 2017 it's a new according to them collective effort to prevent the spread of terrorist
00:13:33.680
and violent extremist content online you know we never did any of these things for
00:13:40.140
anybody else anybody else anybody else antifa over a billion dollars of damage they have could you
00:13:48.680
look up how many people have died in all of these antifa riots how many police dozens yeah dozens dozens
00:13:55.480
dozens dozens airbnb is now in this pledging to prevent hate groups from visiting uh washington dc
00:14:06.300
mailchimp is using its power to de-platform opinions it doesn't like pinterest and instagram instagram have
00:14:14.780
banned donald trump this is a growing problem in the united states and the problem really stems from
00:14:23.840
people who absolutely believe that they are right new york's time a new york times reporter this is not
00:14:30.800
an opinion person her name is katie benner she yesterday deleted tweets calling for trump supporters
00:14:38.520
to be considered enemies of the state enemies of the state trump supporters
00:14:45.320
she said that um the january 6th committee has to do this to combat the national security threats
00:14:54.880
within the country and the solution is to target the voters of the former president
00:15:00.580
now she deleted because she said they were you know unclearly worded well here's what she wrote
00:15:08.680
today's january 6th select committee underscores america's current essential national security dilemma
00:15:15.160
work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician supporters
00:15:21.600
enemies of the state as americans we believe state power should not be used to work against a
00:15:27.120
political figure or a political party but what happens if a politician seems to threaten the state
00:15:32.060
if that politician continues to do so out of office and his entire party supports that threat
00:15:37.660
that's not unclearly worded we know exactly what she means
00:15:42.260
they're also going back now and talking more about mask mandates
00:15:49.320
a good portion of america is not going to do it they're just not going to do it
00:15:58.840
we are a nation clearly divided we are a nation that doesn't believe in blind justice anymore
00:16:11.000
if we did this hearing would have people who disagreed with each other
00:16:18.120
on the panel and adam schiff would be nowhere near it
00:16:22.520
we're being told now we have to vaccinate which i have no problem with the vaccination
00:16:31.940
i currently have antibodies and the antibodies are shown by science to be better than the than the
00:16:40.200
inoculation so when i feel like i need it i'm gonna take the vaccine it's not a problem
00:16:48.600
i'm not giving it to my kids but i don't have a problem taking the vaccine
00:16:53.740
but see this is not about the vaccine this is not about saving people none of this is this is not about
00:17:02.920
stopping violence on the streets this is not about stopping people who don't like uh the government in power
00:17:11.080
it's not otherwise you'd be going after antifa as well because they they are claiming they want
00:17:17.240
an end to the constitution and an end to capitalism and an end to this government
00:17:22.040
all right so why are we looking into them because that's not what we're looking for we're not looking for the truth
00:17:31.320
we're looking for a political uh viewpoint that is being deemed the truth and anything that stands
00:17:45.080
against it is evil is wrong is a danger to society and you have to fear whatever it is you fear that
00:17:55.880
you notice as we have said almost every day this week it is black and hispanics for the most part that
00:18:02.580
are not getting vaccinated it's not trump supporters alone and many trump supporters have already gotten
00:18:10.220
the vaccine but why are we made to feel that it's white extremists that it's white people who voted for
00:18:17.100
donald trump that are the problem here that's not this is all about fear everything they do is about fear and
00:18:28.700
i want you to listen carefully to this because this is the problem those who are afraid to believe
00:18:38.400
they're better people than those who aren't and will subconsciously look for ways to multiply fear
00:18:48.000
because that is their virtue they believe they're better people
00:18:54.060
and everything in our society is saying yes if you agree with crt if you agree with marxism
00:19:03.300
if you agree with you know anti-white whatever that's a virtue
00:19:08.620
fear fear fear is their virtue that's why when you go up into places where they are like new york
00:19:22.060
they are terrified when you walk in without a mask terrified they're completely irrational
00:19:34.500

she says violates her religious beliefs this is so un-american when you say i have a right to my own
00:21:55.260
conscience and they say no you don't and the reason why the court is saying is because she's the best
00:22:02.080
she's the one everybody wants and if she doesn't do it then they're going to get something you know
00:22:08.080

00:24:31.840

00:25:10.780
testifying yesterday are you okay i'm not i'm not that does not look okay it's too emotional so
00:25:17.200
do you know that they actually moved barricades
00:25:29.860
don't take our podiums please by all that is good right and holy
00:25:38.200
there's a lot of absconding going on uh here's the here here's the thing first of all i think
00:25:50.920
both sides are in a state of delusion um and i think because everybody has whipped everybody up
00:25:57.640
into a frenzy and it's not when i say everybody's whipped up no really only the media and the
00:26:03.280
politicians in washington have whipped everybody up by calling this the worst attack on on american
00:26:11.700
institutions since the civil war is so ridiculous we all i was horrified my wife was horrified everyone
00:26:23.580
i know was horrified while this was going on we were horrified that we're like where's the president
00:26:30.020
where's the president why isn't the president coming out we were horrified that he didn't immediately
00:26:34.320
get on and say stop it we don't do this stop it okay that's true now this is from the group of
00:26:42.780
people who also were horrified that nobody in seattle nobody in portland nobody in the rest of the
00:26:50.340
country it seems actually stood up in their own cities and said stop it right now when it comes to
00:26:56.620
antifa now they're trying to prosecute and persecute anyone anyone who voted for trump because of what
00:27:07.180
honestly maybe let's let's get i'll give you the benefit of the doubt maybe 200 people did i think
00:27:14.880
there were probably 50 that were committed to it and the rest were hapless dupes that just followed in
00:27:22.640
and got tied into it and some people just you know caught up in the emotion got very angry and
00:27:27.040
committed crimes committed crimes and they should go to jail yeah or or be fined i mean a lot of them
00:27:32.600
work again absconding with a podium might not necessarily i'm sorry pat i didn't mean to bring
00:27:40.480
you back to that place you know the reason why these guys care so much is because it happened to
00:28:00.020
them for the first time right it happened to them they're not small business owners they're not they're
00:28:05.540
not worried about the police being defunded nobody's defunding the police in washington dc
00:28:11.380
imagine if those people did that to the capitol and then the rest of america said you know what we
00:28:20.100
need to do defund the police in washington dc imagine how those people in the capitol would feel
00:28:25.640
that's exactly what they have been encouraging for the rest of america yeah if there was a defund the
00:28:31.920
capitol police movement right now maybe we could take them seriously on their other claims but they
00:28:36.300
don't care if people in minneapolis die because the new police don't show up they don't care it's
00:28:40.800
got nothing to do with it nope they don't care at all and you know this remember during the george
00:28:46.840
floyd riots places all over washington dc were on fire right there was all sorts of violence that
00:28:53.580
happened times when that was going on in the same place it wasn't directly at them so they didn't care
00:28:59.220
about it yep yep yep yep yep absolutely every time there was one guy uh that actually um said the
00:29:08.100
truth i don't think he noticed that he was saying the truth can you play uh the uh the police officer
00:29:14.080
i don't remember which one he is yeah that one listen to this they had marching orders so to say
00:29:19.680
um when he's saying when people feel emboldened by people in power they they assume that they're
00:29:28.100
right like the the one of the scariest things about january 6 is that the people that were there even to
00:29:36.180
this day think that they were right they think that they were right and that that makes for a scary
00:29:43.740
recipe for for the future of this country i know ask seattle ask portland ask chicago ask any place
00:29:51.500
in america where defund the police ask the people in minneapolis do they feel that they were wrong
00:29:57.100
they were emboldened by the system by the uh local community by the mayors by the city council
00:30:05.400
now by the president they were emboldened when they were being bailed out by our now vice president
00:30:12.480
jeez i mean think of that yeah think of that donald trump hasn't provided bail for any of these
00:30:18.080
people kamala harris provided bail for people in antifa and minneapolis and all over the country
00:30:27.200
and see some of whom were attacking federal buildings yes so yeah i don't i don't think
00:30:33.240
that police officer really understood what he said and from the beginning of the hearing yesterday
00:30:39.260
benny thompson the i guess he's the chair of the committee yeah uh started out by saying we are
00:30:45.040
here to deal only in fact we will only deal in fact and the first thing he did was lie about how
00:30:52.380
many people died seven people seven people seven people seven people that's that's sick nick and we
00:30:59.220
know sick nick died and they lied about that as well they said he was beaten to death uh well he died as a
00:31:05.580
result of the injuries incurred in the riot yeah no oh yeah he he must have the day after he must
00:31:12.640
have he had two strokes he had two strokes yeah but doctors say that those strokes were certainly
00:31:17.940
caught on by the yeah it did say tied to the events right no they didn't know they came out and said
00:31:23.220
it did not say that corner said he said the opposite this was a ticking time bomb would have happened
00:31:27.860
anyway i thought in the in that report they said that while it was a stroke it was look it up look
00:31:35.420
it up i think i remember the corner almost positive yeah i am too the corner did not blame yeah but
00:31:40.600
regardless it was not a traditional how you think of a traditional like you know david uh was it david
00:31:46.140
dorn who died in the in the riots the police officer retired police officer he was shot that that's how
00:31:52.000
you that's how you think of death yes in a riot right like you beat over the head with a with a fire
00:31:57.640
there were no injuries that caused sick nick's death maybe blood pressure i mean he had he had
00:32:04.340
high blood pressure because of the event that that's about as good as you can get that's about
00:32:08.740
as good as you can get then two officers died by suicide afterward in the following week yeah okay
00:32:15.520
you can't blame that on the you can't blame that on the right how do you blame that on the right
00:32:19.520
right a protester was shot by police two press protesters suffered fatal heart attacks
00:32:25.220
and another uh died of a suspected drug overdose yeah the only person actually killed as a result of
00:32:33.060
what was going on was ashley ashley babbitt yeah that's it yeah uh yep and she shouldn't have been
00:32:40.020
there no she shouldn't have been there that's right but i and i i i feel bad for her i feel bad
00:32:45.220
for her family but she shouldn't have been there and and you know she knew a gun was pointed at her
00:32:50.780
and climbed through a barricaded building i mean like it's true it's go through the the the you know
00:32:57.060
the justified shootings that have happened and we've talked about on the air from police officers to
00:33:02.840
african americans and communities like this one was worse by her actions was worse than many of those
00:33:09.860
that were justified i mean like this is i don't know how that became this like cause celeb among some
00:33:16.280
conservatives where we're supposed to say that police officers are not allowed to shoot people
00:33:20.500
who are going through barricades in the middle of an ongoing riot inside the capitol building like i
00:33:26.160
i don't i don't understand that particular point of view all that well especially when we have i think
00:33:32.100
correctly argued over and over again if you go and you're charging at an officer uh they have the
00:33:37.720
right to shoot you right like we've how many how many videos have we talked about where the left is
00:33:42.840
coming out and saying no they should have just let that girl stab the other girl and they shouldn't
00:33:47.740
have done anything i mean that's the left's arguments constantly and for whatever reason that
00:33:51.900
has surrounded this particular case they did you know look she did something that i'm you know i i feel
00:33:57.620
bad about because i don't want people to die but that is the officer in that case i believe uh acted in
00:34:03.680
a justifiable manner that being said it's tragic and but it also supports what conservatives say which is like
00:34:11.060
this this was the one death that occurred in this riot there's another like there's a woman who is
00:34:17.940
terrible a woman who's in the middle of all this wound up having health problems collapsed on the ground
00:34:24.120
and was basically trampled while she was having some sort of heart heart attack attack that's a terrible
00:34:29.920
terrible story however it is not justified either ever neither it's a it's a terrible thing to say oh well
00:34:37.920
this many people died right like okay yes she did die in the in the incident but it had nothing but
00:34:43.800
it was not like murderous people came up and tried to kill like that was not what happened here it was
00:34:48.300
in the way they mean it yes exactly no one died in the way they mean it yeah i think that's a that's a
00:34:54.980
that's an appropriate yeah because ashley babbitt that's that's not their example of what went wrong
00:35:00.760
one of the protesters that they didn't like that shouldn't have been there died so right like nobody died
00:35:05.760
defending it nobody died in congress nothing happened in that way like if you were to say a
00:35:11.620
mass shooting occurred and one person died it was the shooter yeah right like that would not that's not
00:35:16.940
how they would summarize that story that's how they're summarizing it here they would have said
00:35:20.700
injured and uh only one fatality and it was the shooter right and so look look i again it was it a
00:35:28.720
good incident no but like you know as we were talking about this a little bit before we went on the air
00:35:32.720
there are some people on the right very few who are basically saying it was nothing it was just
00:35:37.280
i think this is honestly this is where i started that's coming from it's pushback it's pushback it's
00:35:43.880
like how dare you say that right because on the other side the media has been telling us for a very
00:35:49.020
long time that this was the civil war just like with the voting stuff they say it's jim crow 2.0 everything's
00:35:54.700
the most extreme thing that's ever happened and it's like it is closer to nothing than it is to the
00:36:00.120
civil war no question it's not a controversial or 9-11 or 9-11 people are just sick of this
00:36:05.920
romney romney might have been genghis khan romney was the worst ever that's right he was going to be
00:36:15.780
so draconian he would be so anti uh democrat are you kidding me he practically is he is a democrat
00:36:24.360
he is a democrat so everybody everybody they they play this nuclear card every time every single
00:36:33.880
time let me tell you this is how this is going to end it's going to end with nothing except an
00:36:37.900
impression going to be a big impression but it will be played again there's going to be something
00:36:44.560
because they history is not you know people say history always repeats itself let me say it
00:36:49.420
differently history is repeating itself this is exactly like the black tom event uh which which
00:36:57.400
pierced and broke every window in lower manhattan it it's the reason we can't go up into the torch
00:37:03.900
anymore uh of the statue of liberty because the explosion was so big it actually broke the arm of the
00:37:10.760
statue of liberty uh and woodrow wilson knew exactly what it was everybody who was involved knew what it
00:37:17.960
was it was german terrorism they came over here to blow up the munitions that we were sending to the
00:37:23.640
allies and for world war uh one they couldn't have those munitions come so they blew them up just in
00:37:29.760
new jersey it destroyed so much it was a big big deal woodrow wilson said it was the capitalists that did it
00:37:36.660
and then it was just brushed aside for a while and we're looking into it we're looking into it but
00:37:42.060
nothing really happened and then when fdr needed to round up the japanese he used that fear and said
00:37:49.980
we've just found out what happened in like 1916 we just found out what happened with black tom and it
00:37:58.880
was the germans and if the germans can do that the japanese will do it here so we've got to act on this
00:38:05.080
now this is just the predecessor of something bigger that is coming and they are building the
00:38:11.780
foundation thank you so much pat pat grand leashed by the way we do have the sick nick thing do you
00:38:17.240

uh so we have the uh we have the clarification on brian sick nick the officer who died from
00:39:19.780
injuries suffered in january 6 riot which is what they said yesterday and that's definitely not that
00:39:24.760
is not true right read what the coroner said yeah the chief metalhead examiner francisco ds told the
00:39:29.560
washington post that the autopsy found no evidence that mr sick nick suffered an allergic reaction
00:39:34.740
to the chemical spray or evidence of internal or external injuries but said quote all that transpired
00:39:41.240
played a role in his condition okay a role in his condition right so there were two people that died
00:39:47.900
of a heart attack on the protesting side okay while they were in the capital they died because they
00:39:53.860
shouldn't have been there they were not healthy enough for something like this they start their
00:39:59.000
heart starts to race they have a heart attack had heart condition this guy has obviously was prone
00:40:04.420
for a stroke probably had high blood pressure it didn't happen to him at the capital it happened to
00:40:10.440
him the day after so the guy was most likely going to have a stroke anyway because he was prone to that
00:40:17.440
he could have been out in a you know in a situation where he was just arguing with somebody and dropped
00:40:22.940
dead later right you know if he had gone to work and stood there and nothing occurred all day would
00:40:27.680
he have had a stroke maybe not maybe not coroner is saying but also saying that like he was
00:40:32.240
predisposed to this something like this happening anyway yeah all he had to do is get his blood
00:40:36.660
pressure to spike yeah and that can happen in today's world just by listening to the news so
00:40:44.100
you know there was only one person that was killed and that was uh a protester killed
00:40:51.780
uh by a cop this is the glenn back program built bar is our uh sponsor this half hour and
00:40:59.980
i asked well oh no wait i don't have to thank stew i have to thank lisa well but you wouldn't know
00:41:07.340
who lisa was if it wasn't for me really really she only married you to get closer to me yeah that's
00:41:13.140
that's a terrible idea do not ask her about it because she'll lie to you she'll lie to you about
00:41:20.100
it probably uh anyway uh lisa was turned on to built bars she turned my wife on to built bars
00:41:25.520
and my wife uh yacked at me forever you gotta try these built bars they're really good and i don't
00:41:31.760
listen to the stuff like that because she's healthy and blah blah blah she's not the person who's going
00:41:36.440
to give you good advice on food food right unless it's italian this is candy yeah italians do not
00:41:43.400
make good desserts so i don't listen to her on anything sweet yeah not their specialty no not
00:41:48.080
their specialty so i don't listen to her on things that you know are sweet and taste good but everything
00:41:53.140

00:41:59.400

what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
00:42:51.940
today's all about the growing authoritarian state and it is growing rapidly rapidly we have
00:43:09.480
ben shapiro on uh in about an hour to talk about it tonight my special is all about surveillance
00:43:15.880
uh it's called biden's new domestic terrorism threat you you need to see something that has
00:43:23.800
just been rubber stamped and nobody really talked about it the plan to combat domestic terror from the
00:43:30.680
white house it is truly terrifying what they're doing and somebody who has been on this for a long
00:43:37.240
time is a guy who's hasn't been on twitter since january 8th because he was suspended for tweeting about
00:43:44.160
hydroxychloroquine which i've taken hydroxychloroquine when i stopped taking it i got covid i don't know
00:43:52.780
maybe it's a coincidence i don't think so anyway um he hasn't been on twitter but he has been busy
00:44:01.140
why was the fbi monitoring the bank accounts of dc residents on january 6th from judicialwatch.org
00:44:13.620
the glenn beck program sally wrote in a couple of uh short but sweet lines about our dog's experience
00:44:21.900
with rough green she says my dog bruno now cries because he loves his dog food so much
00:44:26.580
rough greens is amazing i don't know what that means uh does he like he's he's like adam schiff over
00:44:34.240
his bowl he's like this is so good thanks for writing in uh but i do want to talk to bruno here
00:44:41.520
for a moment bruno i don't know exactly what it is with you but i i do frequently cry because i love
00:44:48.920
my food so much so i don't even put rough greens on my food and i still do that so i can't imagine what
00:44:54.800
you're going through and just keep it up it's not dog food it's something you sprinkle on the dog food

00:45:32.020
tom fitton president of judicial watch author of a republic under assault and tom i don't think there
00:45:41.580
is a a better phrase than that for what is happening to our country right now yeah it's been ongoing and
00:45:49.720
it's uh accelerated uh with the beginning of the biden administration that as you've highlighted is
00:45:56.760
used uh january 6 uh as a an excuse uh to target and spy on all of this political opposition and i just
00:46:09.020
don't mean donald trump their theory of the case is everyone who has questions about the legitimacy of
00:46:16.380
the biden election that has questions about election integrity generally or supportive of trump
00:46:22.740
conservatives all they should be treated as if they're terrorists and quote enemies of the state
00:46:28.560
as the uh left-wing new york times lawyer uh excuse me yeah writer admitted and and uh in twitter yesterday
00:46:36.480
so let's go through some of the things that the government is doing that are absolutely
00:46:42.320
unconstitutional and also things that should horrify americans i don't know if they don't
00:46:48.920
know about it or if they do they just don't care but this is a different country talk to me about the
00:46:55.920
different things they did for instance bank of america yeah and it's not clear if bank of america
00:47:02.140
did this because they were asked or because they were excited to do it and just volunteered but they sent
00:47:07.580
over reportedly the financial transaction data meaning if you use your debit card in dc on january
00:47:13.460
6th or the surrounding area it was sent over assuming as presumably to the fbi uh airbnb data was sent
00:47:22.160
over hotel transaction data was sent over it looks like these financial records were poured over
00:47:27.560
uh by bank of america and sent uh to the fbi and who knows how many other banks so we've we've asked
00:47:35.060
for information from the fbi about what was going on here and glenn they gave us the they can't confirm
00:47:40.860
or deny the dot after deny after refusing to respond to the request as the law requires they we sued and
00:47:47.620
they said well we can't confirm or deny this information exists which to me is a non-denial denial
00:47:53.820
right and and what what right do they have to withhold that information well you know admitting they have
00:48:03.840
the information is going to be a scandal the detail of it is another issue here we can't even
00:48:11.540
get them to fess up that they were spying on us we also have a lawsuit against the post office
00:48:17.680
that was targeting social media profiles of individual americans and examining them who knew
00:48:24.860
your postal your post office had the ability to spy on your social media content so when they're
00:48:31.700
talking about this select committee on the hill that's what this is about and one of the other
00:48:37.280
angles of select committee we all should be concerned about is the fact that adam schiff is on it and
00:48:42.460
they've taken the legal position in litigation with judicial watch that the house of representatives
00:48:47.200
specific and congress generally has the unbridled ability to subpoena and take your private
00:48:53.740
information whether it be phone records in the case of giuliani that's exactly what they did
00:48:58.340
or financial information and who knows what else and without court authorization so this isn't like
00:49:04.120
how when did this happen what i mean this is this is not legal right it's not legal well they say it is and
00:49:13.460
no court has restrained them yet so i fear this january 6 committee which is a never-ending committee
00:49:20.020
it's going to be a a a a show trial there's no date that's going to end for which it's going to end so
00:49:27.080
that it's going to be a go-to committee for lord knows how long is going to target citizens and groups
00:49:34.060
who oppose biden and spy on them by taking their records uh unconstitutionally in my view what are the
00:49:46.140
i think the odds are high that you're on the target list uh you know tucker the story with
00:49:57.280
tucker carlson shows that you should presume you're being spied on yeah i'll tell you what in my in my
00:50:02.160
operations i just presume every phone conversation i have every email i send uh is is subject to
00:50:09.620
monitoring by the government i just i i think you know it just makes it and and americans who are
00:50:16.580
active in politics should assumerably presume it you just don't have to be a leader uh now we know
00:50:22.580
they're going after citizens well i know that there are senators that i have spoken to that are so
00:50:28.800
paranoid now they won't speak around any kind of uh any kind of uh device and they'll only really
00:50:37.380
kind of talk to you outside uh and uh and they they believe they're absolutely being monitored uh
00:50:45.140
by our national security apparatus well we know the nsa is able to pick up virtually everything
00:50:51.120
yeah and and the issue comes down to who utilizes the intelligence that the nsa has in a box who goes
00:50:58.340
rooting around in that box we already know that the biden administration is run by a man who did it to
00:51:03.780
general flynn in unmasking him there's been no uh there's been there's been no sanction for anyone
00:51:10.740
who's unmasked anyone during the obama administration in abuse of the law and that's actually what happened
00:51:16.260
to tucker carlson we found out now that he was unmasked but that's a very big deal to unmask someone
00:51:22.900
is a very difficult thing or should be a very difficult thing to do used to be well under the excuse me
00:51:32.740
under the obama administration they treated that information as a google type search function oh my
00:51:38.980
gosh uh to go through uh on issues related to their political enemies so if you pop up on the radar
00:51:47.780
if you say or do the wrong thing that gets the intention of the wrong people in washington dc
00:51:53.460
we now know they have access to information and they can use it with virtually no check even when we
00:52:00.340
know catch them doing it we can't get the justice department to do anything about it where's you
00:52:05.620
know it goes back to where's durham which is a shorthand way of saying is where's the justice
00:52:10.980
department where's law enforcement and why is it that they refuse to enforce the rule of law
00:52:16.580
against the the uh corrupt political class here in washington dc so we know that bank of america
00:52:22.580
whether they volunteered or were asked to do it um they looked into all of the transactions bank
00:52:29.380
account debit card credit card purchases in washington dc purchases made from hotels or airbnb rsvps in dc
00:52:37.620
maryland and virginia any purchase of weapons or at a weapons related merchant between one seven and the
00:52:45.620
the upcoming suspect a suspected stay in dc airline related purchases since one six uh and they put all
00:52:54.180
these together you know uh i remember when they told us we could do this probably about 2006 that they
00:53:01.460
could they could string a whole bunch of information together that was supposedly uh anonymized uh for
00:53:09.460
terrorists and they could just put it all together and they could tell when somebody had moved from one
00:53:13.620
house to another because of the water usage went down uh that's what they're doing to these people
00:53:20.820
to anybody who is in washington dc and it's one thing to say we saw this person commit an act or we
00:53:29.780
have information that this person committed an act it's another thing to do this dragnet where everyone
00:53:35.700
gets caught up in the surveillance state and has their information perused and you know we've seen the
00:53:43.140
stories i'm sure you've covered of people having difficulty travel traveling oh yeah even though
00:53:49.220
they've done nothing wrong other than maybe attend the rally and on january 6 we are becoming china china
00:53:56.740
is the model we are putting in uh restrictions where they can control every part of your life
00:54:03.620
have you and we have and we have a committee um in the house that is a one-party committee so when we
00:54:10.500
worry about one-party states we have a one-party operation that is now investigating the exercise of
00:54:17.940
civil liberties by american citizens in terms of right to assembly right to freedom of association and
00:54:24.020
other first amendment protected rights there's no representative of the other party in our system
00:54:30.980
on that committee and the folks who are responsible for some of this china-like surveillance i.e adam
00:54:37.060
shift are on the committee and they know what to do is there a way to turn this around
00:54:46.500
i think we need to change an approach from our leadership uh in the elected level my concern is
00:54:52.420
the leadership of the house and the senate don't care about these issues they talk about them but they
00:54:58.420
don't care about them mitch mcconnell doesn't even talk about them uh and uh we we don't have effective
00:55:05.860
leadership uh on the hill to uh to highlight these issues in the grave way they need to be highlighted
00:55:13.940
but i just saw a piece in politico the other day when where the national security official i think in
00:55:21.060
the white house was talking about how uh second amendment gun rights are a national security issue
00:55:27.460
we don't want the wrong people we don't want the wrong people getting guns and we know and their
00:55:31.860
definition of the wrong people is people who don't vote for biden have you been zero interest in
00:55:39.300
the in congress for doing this and there's got to be an escalation in congress and accountability
00:55:45.060
and a penalty for abusing for a the government abusing our rights from the executive branch
00:55:51.300
and policing congress have you been following their demonstration in front of the capitol hill police
00:55:56.580
department be transparent the whitmer kidnapping kidnapping case and the fbi's involvement there
00:56:04.340
is no way anyone reasonable can read that and think that that was anything other than
00:56:11.220
uh a plot hatched and and uh furthered by the fbi uh have you looked into that case is there
00:56:20.900
much credibility to that and were they doing that on january 6th well we are looking into it uh and
00:56:29.860
what's interesting about january 6 is that the information is kind of already out there um i i
00:56:35.540
went and looked on the justice department's website and you can read the documents they post and one of
00:56:41.060
the folks they targeted uh the information that was presented to the court by the justice department
00:56:47.620
discussed the dc undercover police employee uh monitoring the riot not only was he there beforehand
00:56:58.900
talking to the targets but he was also on the capital grounds so they had an undercover informant for
00:57:05.460
the dc police on the grounds during the riot i haven't seen that anywhere and to me where there's
00:57:13.780
more when you have that type of activity you can bet there's additional activity that's not disclosed
00:57:19.780
sure and that would also make you question then why weren't you prepared for it
00:57:25.940
well and that's why nancy pelosi if i were if i were in congress and and with democrat or republican
00:57:33.940
and i was in fear for my life for one minute because of a failure of security that that person is
00:57:40.420
responsible for the speaker of the house she wouldn't be speaker of the house
00:57:48.180
tom finton thank you so much for uh all that you guys do um keep fighting by the way are you still
00:57:55.380
off twitter because of your choice or because they're just not letting you back on twitter
00:58:01.060
uh it's partly choice partly i'm locked out uh they tell me if i delete the accurate and truthful
00:58:06.340
tweet i can go back on in theory but and what did you tweet about hydroxychloroquine
00:58:12.180
i said hydroxychloroquine is a safe drug it is a safe drug it's been around for a hundred years
00:58:18.820
it is a safe drug he had told me the tweet was fine they had previously analyzed the tweet and said it
00:58:24.100
wasn't in violation of the rules and they since decided it's in violation of their rules and they've
00:58:29.140
called me an abuser of of uh the system and i don't even know how to respond to that other than
00:58:35.220
you know if i go back on will it will they destroy my account completely unbelievable tom thank you so

01:00:19.220
tonight on my wednesday night special only on blaze tv i'm focusing on an alarming strategy from the
01:00:27.780
white house it's not a conspiracy theory i don't have to put it all together it's right there something
01:00:35.540
that america barely even noticed when it was released last month the media just rubber stamps
01:00:41.540
everything but it was put together by the national security council and it is a blueprint
01:00:46.900
for sweeping government action called the national strategy for countering domestic terrorism
01:00:54.100
it doesn't focus on blm and tifa doesn't ransomware none of that stuff it is just focusing on
01:01:04.980
the greatest national threat quote violent extremists principally those who promote the superiority of
01:01:12.180
the white race end quote well i want violent extremists and anybody who's promoting the
01:01:18.420
superiority of the white race or the black race hmm seems to be a few of those too uh i think i think
01:01:26.020
they're dangerous and if they are violent they should be arrested but this white house uh strategy
01:01:33.380
is disturbing because it is as if we have no constitutional rights they are already using
01:01:42.420
surveillance systems and turning their focus on the u.s it talks about how they're going to use high
01:01:49.140
tech and gives all their rationale and it is truly truly terrifying and you must be aware of it
01:01:59.460
i want people who commit crimes to go to jail and i don't care who they voted for i want them to go to
01:02:05.700
jail this is a blueprint for big government and big tech to surveil root out and silence america's

axios calls this guy the fcc's 5g crusader he has led the fcc's work to modernize the infrastructure
01:05:39.660
rules and accelerate the build out of high-speed networks his uh reforms have cut billions of
01:05:46.700
dollars in red tape and enabled the private sector to build these high-speed uh networks in communicate
01:05:53.280
and communities all across the country and extend america's global leadership in 5g uh unfortunately
01:06:00.340
i don't think there's a lot of people uh in in washington at least with this administration
01:06:05.900
that want to see america win the 5g race that's a topic for another uh broadcast his name is brendan
01:06:14.440
car and he is an fcc commissioner uh and we we need good commissioners on the fcc ajit pai has uh left
01:06:23.960
brendan how are you i'm doing great really good to join you thanks for having me thank you thank you
01:06:29.280
um you are suggesting something and i think this i don't know if it started with you or who it started
01:06:36.380
with i know that um uh marco rubio has been talking about restoring the internet to cuba
01:06:43.560
and there is a way we can do this but it requires the government and google to participate correct
01:06:50.720
yeah some of that is right so you know look in in cuba we're seeing unprecedented protests and what
01:06:56.980
we see around the globe now is the first thing people do when they take to the street to fight
01:07:01.360
for liberty is they take out their smartphone they take pictures they take video because the thing
01:07:05.720
that brutal dictatorships like least is the attention of the world correct spotlight on their brutality so
01:07:11.860
we've seen this in iran we've seen it in venezuela we've seen it in myanmar so the first thing that
01:07:17.640
people do is they take their phone out the first thing the dictators do is they shut down the internet
01:07:21.840
now they don't cut the internet entirely because that would cut off their own communications they block
01:07:26.580
access to whatsapp and facebook and messaging services so those pictures and videos can't
01:07:31.840
get out there so what i said what others have said like you mentioned senator rubio uh governor de
01:07:36.660
santis is we should look for ways to restore internet services to cuba uh which would help to accelerate
01:07:44.020
the ultimate uh destination of the brutal cuban regime which is its end and there's two ways we can do
01:07:51.140
it we can introduce new services new internet services from off island that can take some time
01:07:56.420
there's some logistical challenges to be sure but we have the technical capacity to do that and track
01:08:01.180
two is we should bolster support for circumvention tools so that people can continue to use the
01:08:06.660
internet services on the island and just get around the filtering which by the way the filtering has
01:08:11.700
all the digital fingerprints of the communist regime of china so they are very much involved in helping
01:08:16.860
cuba shut down internet services and it didn't facebook and everybody else they did this in
01:08:22.580
egypt they did this for the arab spring they they actually helped foment that revolution uh and uh and
01:08:31.680
made sure that people knew how to use it and gain access to it now it doesn't see is anybody have you
01:08:37.860
heard of any high tech i mean the big high tech are any of them saying we got to join in and help these
01:08:44.060
people it's been pretty quiet from what i've seen you know former secretary pompeo sent out a tweet a week
01:08:50.260
or so ago saying that uh the government and others went in in iran and helped bolster internet services
01:08:56.420
during the protests there i mean we have the technical capacity to do it and it's simply a
01:09:01.560
question of do we have the political will at the highest levels of this administration to green light
01:09:06.740
uh these efforts if we do that american enterprises can deliver these solutions to the cuban people and
01:09:13.500
show our uh support for them and and president biden initially came out with some positive words we're
01:09:18.620
going to look at this but it's over two weeks and we haven't seen any action at this point and you
01:09:23.360
know i'm very concerned that we're not going to see action so you know this is just a question of
01:09:28.660
political will it's not a question of can we do it yeah um and is project loon which was a google
01:09:35.520
project i believe in kenya uh which sends this like uh you know the tennis court sized uh uh tower
01:09:47.060
up over the country way above where airplanes are flying and it just kind of hovers there and kind
01:09:55.300
of acts as a as a receiver to to pass that message along easily we could probably do it with two of
01:10:02.480
these things because florida is so close do i have that right you're exactly you're exactly right so
01:10:08.880
this is what i call that track one idea which is how do we introduce new services into cuba from off
01:10:14.020
island there's a variety of technological ways you can do it and you put your finger on one of them
01:10:18.740
google loon had this operation where they put up stratospheric balloons these go 60 to 75 000 feet
01:10:25.680
above the air you can actually keep them relatively static over a geographic area given the way that the
01:10:31.340
winds circulate at those levels i've been to kenya myself to see this technology in action it works
01:10:37.680
we at the fcc authorized this technology in 2017 after a hurricane wiped out communications in puerto
01:10:43.620
rico seven to eight of these balloons went up circled around puerto rico and helped beam services
01:10:48.800
into that uh that that that community and we saw it in peru after some natural disasters these balloons
01:10:54.900
went up there's other technologies we could beam wi-fi off of the u.s embassy in havana uh previously we
01:11:01.180
had inserted uh satellite powered internet devices into cuba the advantage of these high altitude balloons
01:11:07.740
as you point out as you can stay in international airspace and beam directly from the the balloon
01:11:13.260
to a handset back from the handset to the balloon and to your point given the geographic distance to
01:11:19.780
marathon or or the keys you can beam right from the balloon back to the internet in the u.s so that's
01:11:25.680
the advantage of the balloon and frankly we need it now in cuba but we also need this i think as a
01:11:30.860
strategic capability for this country we've always had you know radio free asia radio marty that broadcast
01:11:37.280
into cuba the modern day equivalent of broadcasting uh information into countries that aren't free
01:11:43.560
is to enable the free unfiltered use of the internet in those countries so i think we need this as a
01:11:48.620
long-term strategic capability as well it's a lot better than obviously putting putting troops on the
01:11:53.060
ground as well sure uh and it's uh i mean with the way things are going quite honestly we might need
01:11:58.840
one for you know suppression here in america uh it what what is being done is is craziness craziness
01:12:07.220
this is this is amazing i mean look we cannot be speaking out of both sides of our mouth at the one
01:12:12.620
at the one point we're saying brutal regimes like cuba you can't filter you can't censor the internet
01:12:17.720
at the same time that we have uh this white house jen saki out there saying oh yeah we've been
01:12:22.920
coordinating with big tech to censor american speech we can't do that we need to be very clear that
01:12:28.540
we believe in a free open uncensored internet for our own american people here and for other people
01:12:34.640
abroad and so i think we should go forward and whether it's through legislation or otherwise
01:12:38.380
make very clear that government officials should not be calling up big tech companies and asking
01:12:42.980
them to put a thumb on the scale against speech they don't like because let's get real it's not
01:12:48.220
about misinformation it's not about disinformation it's about political speech that doesn't fit the
01:12:53.800
narrative of the people that are bombing in with these phone calls is it is it possible to
01:12:58.520
privately do this i mean you know we can just this audience and that's not involving the cuban
01:13:05.320
population in america we could fund that privately i doubt google would take our check but is there a way
01:13:14.900
to do this privately well on the track one stuff so google shuttered uh loon in the beginning of the
01:13:21.840
year because it wasn't a great commercial product people weren't going to drop you know verizon or
01:13:25.620
or at&t for these balloon services but i think as a strategic capability for the country the
01:13:31.000
commercial viability is less of a concern but the track two stuff we talked about which is the
01:13:35.520
circumvention tools there's a lot of open source applications out there that the cuban people are
01:13:40.380
using right now those technologies need additional funding and we're not talking you know billions of
01:13:45.120
dollars we're talking one to three to six million dollars so there are some efforts underway to try to
01:13:50.300
use private sector funding uh to bolster these technologies i can't endorse any one particular
01:13:55.400
you know company or direct people towards those crowdfunding sites given um you know limits on
01:13:59.860
me as a government official but there are private sector ways that people could donate money so that
01:14:04.140
these circumvention tools continue to work and the people of cuba can continue to get those pictures
01:14:08.700
and videos out to the world you know i uh i loved uh jeet pai and i've done this i've done broadcast for
01:14:15.480
45 years and i i can't even remember a name of a of an fcc chairman before um uh maybe i did during
01:14:23.820
reagan uh but uh jeet was amazing and i thought we were headed in the right direction with the fcc under
01:14:30.820
donald trump um and now it looks like you guys are the only one standing between uh real freedom of the
01:14:40.940
internet uh and uh net neutrality because it's back isn't it it is you know look uh president uh biden
01:14:50.720
issued a quote-unquote competition executive order a week or so ago and it included a direction basically to us at the
01:14:56.880
fcc to go back to obama era uh net neutrality rules the reality is you know 2015 2016 america had
01:15:06.700
flatlined in terms of our build out of high-speed internet infrastructure including cell sites in
01:15:11.580
2016 we had something like 708 new cell sites go up in this country um after we engage in reforms under
01:15:18.360
you know ajit's leadership and me working with him uh we had uh 46 000 new cell sites go in in 2019
01:15:26.000
so a 65 fold increase because we got you know all that regulatory red tape uh out of the way so i'm
01:15:32.060
very concerned that we're going to go back to this obama era approach and it's it's as if they don't
01:15:36.440
understand the real threat to a free and open internet today it's not coming from the isps we
01:15:40.940
don't have net neutrality today uh at least under their conception of it and we don't see blocking and
01:15:45.680
throttling by isps but we do see is blocking and censorship by big tech and if you really care about
01:15:51.760
a free and open internet the problem you need to tackle today is a censorship happening by facebook
01:15:57.040
by twitter by these providers not by the isp how how uh close are we to really being a leader in 5g
01:16:06.360
compared to i can't remember the name of huawei i mean we are in the fight of our life with huawei
01:16:12.460
you know we made we were behind again 2015 2016 people were basically counting the u.s out
01:16:19.200
uh but when we modernize our infrastructure rules because it had been costing too much and took too
01:16:24.640
long to build infrastructure for the internet here uh things boomed and we leapfrog ahead of many many
01:16:31.180
countries and we now have the strongest uh 5g platform in the world if you don't have it in your
01:16:36.200
particular community uh the data may be meaningless to you but the data does show us that we're doing
01:16:41.280
well but i am concerned that we are not going to continue to keep the pedal down when it comes to
01:16:46.260
allowing new internet infrastructure bills when it comes to uh getting the spectrum out there that
01:16:51.160
we need to power these 5g services so the good news is we made great progress we're in good shape right
01:16:56.940
now but i'm worried that we're going to let off the gas and then you know china's going to take
01:17:00.720
advantage of that um elon musk's satellite service is amazing absolutely amazing is is this
01:17:10.580
what do you think of that business does that have a future far as um uh litigation is there anything
01:17:18.120
that can shut him down on this this is a really interesting technology and i was just out in
01:17:23.700
washington state visiting the manufacturing plant where they make these low earth orbit satellites and
01:17:29.800
the idea is that you can put these you know satellites up hundreds of them and they're going to get
01:17:34.820
you almost sort of fiber-like uh speeds anywhere uh almost anywhere in the globe and we are pretty
01:17:42.580
hopeful we're not putting all our eggs in that basket we're looking at other technologies other
01:17:45.900
ways to bridge the digital divide but we think this could be a good technology we've authorized them we've
01:17:50.860
funded them uh in terms of building out in areas where um they're sort of rural and remote so
01:17:56.560
it could be a game changer um we'll see it hasn't quite gone uh to scale yet just it just isn't there
01:18:02.640
as a timeline they're still building it out but we're hopeful that it's gonna be a key part of
01:18:06.360
bridging the digital divide brendan carr the fcc commissioner it is uh it's good to talk to you
01:18:12.620
and uh please let us know uh about any threats to our constitutional uh protected rights to free speech
01:18:22.440

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:05.880
Mr. Ben Shapiro talking about the growing authoritarian state and his new book in 60 seconds.
01:24:19.760
Real estate agents, I trust, is the place to go if you're going to take a plunge into the real estate game anytime soon.
01:24:25.980
It is crazy. What's happening in the market is crazy.
01:24:32.860
They're kind of back to the way they were when we were first getting into COVID.
01:24:36.120
Nobody is buying them because they've gotten so overpriced.
01:24:40.320
However, your home, an existing home, those sales are still up.
01:24:46.820
So you have to be careful on the buying and the selling of your home.
01:24:50.600
Simple fact is this. You need more than just a real estate agent.
01:24:54.460
You need somebody who's going to do more than just, you know, show you listings or show your house.
01:24:59.940
You need somebody who is full time driven to succeed, helping you succeed, who knows the best practices that make that happen.
01:25:08.180
We have a whole list of those people all over the country, and it's a free service to you.
01:25:12.420
If you're buying or selling, whether you're moving across the street, across town, or across the country,
01:25:18.960
Real Estate Agents I Trust can find the right real estate agent for you.
01:25:33.040
He is the intellectual powerhouse of the right now and been a friend for many, many years.
01:25:41.780
I respect him, and he is the one guy who writes a lot of books that I will always read his books
01:25:49.180
because they are always really well thought out, intellectually solid, and never go for cheap shots.
01:26:03.920
I haven't read your new book, but I've heard you talk about it an awful lot.
01:26:06.800
I listened to your podcast, when was it, last night, when you were doing the book signings.
01:26:12.480
And I wanted to actually take you through some of the things that you played,
01:26:24.380
So basically, the book begins with looking at January 6th,
01:26:28.220
which the left has declared is the authoritarian moment in modern American history,
01:26:32.440
that democracy is on the verge of being overthrown,
01:26:36.080
that Donald Trump is this great authoritarian figure,
01:26:38.760
and that the right is the true threat to American freedom.
01:26:41.200
And then I ask people to analyze, you know, what exactly happened on January 6th and beyond?
01:26:46.240
Because what really happened is that a Brinkway group, a much larger group, committed criminal activity.
01:26:54.460
And within three hours, order had been restored, and the government went on as though nothing had happened.
01:26:59.780
Then, in the immediate aftermath of that, AWS, Amazon Web Services, de-platform parlor completely.
01:27:05.600
Most major Democrats started calling for significant curbs on First Amendment freedoms.
01:27:09.900
You started to see neutral service providers talking about cracking down on quote-unquote extremism.
01:27:13.940
Donald Trump was thrown off all the social media platforms.
01:27:16.740
Corporations started to put out statements basically suggesting that you had to mirror particular political viewpoints on January 6th,
01:27:23.760
or corporations said we're just not going to give donations to anybody who questioned the results of the election,
01:27:29.620
even though they would certainly not be the same with Democrats.
01:27:31.960
So the question is, if you're talking about actual authoritarian threats, then who's actually threatening?
01:27:39.360
And I think most Americans instinctively know the answer, and the answer is not, you know, the idiot who invaded the Capitol building.
01:27:46.060
The people who are a true threat to your way of life right now are the people at the head of every major institution,
01:27:51.080
ranging from the scientific institutions to the educational institutions to your corporate bosses.
01:27:56.260
And they have the power to really wreck their life in some pretty significant ways, even outside of the offices of government.
01:28:01.380
You know, we have been pretty close to this point before with Woodrow Wilson, but you can excuse the American people at the time to some degree,
01:28:15.100
And with the with the progressives using science and saying, look, it's a whole new age.
01:28:22.820
You know, we came from farmers and now we're in the scientific age and anything is possible.
01:28:26.760
You can kind of dismiss it. But what Joe Biden is doing right now, a lot of this really comes from the Woodrow Wilson playbook.
01:28:35.600
And I think it's just as racist and just as nasty as when he was doing it.
01:28:41.140
I mean, I think that when Joe Biden goes around saying, knowing full well that he's lying, that voter ID laws are akin to Jim Crow racism.
01:28:49.240
Yeah. Or that what happened on January 6th is the worst insurrection that we've seen in the United States since the Civil War.
01:28:54.760
Or that Republicans, broad writ, are just trying to return us to the days of the Civil War.
01:28:59.440
I mean, this kind of stuff is extremely ugly. It's extremely divisive.
01:29:02.540
It is the opposite of what he promised that he was going to be when he became president.
01:29:05.740
Right. Which is this sort of unifying, moderate figure.
01:29:08.540
He's not been any of those things. I think what makes what's going on truly unjustifiable is not just that we've seen the consequences of this sort of activity before.
01:29:16.700
It's that at least you can say that during Woodrow Wilson's administration, we were in the middle of a world war.
01:29:21.600
And during FDR's administration, we're in the middle of another world war.
01:29:24.740
Right now, we are involved in zero major wars anywhere around the world.
01:29:29.700
And yet we're tearing ourselves apart internally going after dissenters, which is kind of a unique thing.
01:29:33.500
Oh, I think we are at war. America is at war, but it's at war with itself.
01:29:37.660
I mean, it's it's completely lost its way because we've had people teaching our children for a while now that we're a horrible, horrible place.
01:29:48.320
And I don't know if people are buying it or not.
01:29:52.920
I want to take you to one of the authoritarian moments.
01:30:00.500
In September 1933, the government sponsored a spectacular parade of New York's Fifth Avenue to promote an unprecedented federal effort, the National Recovery Administration.
01:30:15.620
Roosevelt called the NRA a partnership in planning between government and industry.
01:30:21.380
its goal to speed recovery by establishing profit levels for business and wage levels for labor and a show of national solidarity.
01:30:32.140
More than two million employers across the country promise to abide by the NRA codes.
01:30:38.300
Russia hails victory in Moscow's Red Square during her May Day parade.
01:30:49.240
So the general Goldberg talks a lot about this in liberal fascism, but the sort of economically fascist system was reliance on private businesses being overseen and working in cahoots with big government and big government would essentially charter these industries and then tell them what to do.
01:31:08.720
Well, the National Recovery Administration was an effort overtly by the federal government to force businesses into doing what they want.
01:31:14.200
And you were supposed to put a symbol up in your window, the blue eagle.
01:31:18.900
And Americans were literally supposed to boycott businesses that didn't put the blue eagle in their window.
01:31:24.100
Well, I think that we can see some pretty resonant echoes of that today in modern American politics when you have the government, members of the Democratic Party calling on corporations, social media companies, for example, to do their bidding.
01:31:34.980
And then suggesting that perhaps, you know, maybe there needs to be an astroturf boycott of particular businesses if they refuse to do that bidding.
01:31:41.700
We saw the results of this one when Major League Baseball just pulled out of Georgia, for example.
01:31:45.160
We're talking to Ben Shapiro, author of the brand new book that's out today, The Authoritarian Moment.
01:31:55.100
I mean, this is the government getting into bed with global corporations, banks now providing a ESG score.
01:32:03.260
And if you're not playing ball with the government and with, you know, the environmentalist and social justice members, your score will go down.
01:32:11.820
And in Europe, they're now proposing that you cannot do business with any business that has a lower ESG score than you do.
01:32:20.340
Yeah, I mean, you see it also in places like California that have attempted to actually pass laws leveraging people onto boards of corporations.
01:32:27.640
If your corporation is large enough, then we now have to put a certain number of people of particular races or sexual orientations on the board of the corporation.
01:32:34.720
I mean, this is truly totalitarian stuff. And what's even more totalitarian in effect is that the corporations then shovel this garbage down on the people who work for the corporation.
01:32:44.500
So it's easy, you know, Glenn, you're able to speak freely because that's what you do for a living.
01:32:47.840
I'm able to do it because that's what I do for a living.
01:32:50.160
They can threaten our livings, but they're never going to be able to take away all of our livings.
01:32:52.960
We have too many people who are interested in hearing what we have to say.
01:32:55.600
But if you're just a guy working in a corporation, it's very easy for the corporation to get you to mirror their prescriptions because you've got to put food on the table for your family.
01:33:02.900
Well, that's the thing that I like about this book is you're not just coming with the problems.
01:33:07.120
You actually have the solution. And I think the way you have phrased this is really appealing.
01:33:13.040
I've been talking about Martin Luther King. I hate boycotts. And I know you do, too. Stu does.
01:33:19.300
But Martin Luther King says if we wouldn't have done the boycott, if we wouldn't have had the teeth, it wouldn't have worked.
01:33:25.120
We wouldn't have had the Civil Rights Act passed.
01:33:27.060
And they are coming after us and we just keep taking it and we don't come after any of the companies that are shoveling this crap.
01:33:41.300
I mean, I'm in an industry where you and I are routinely hit by people trying to go after our advertisers.
01:33:46.280
Right. But here's the reality. There has to be a mutually assured destruction here.
01:33:50.080
If these corporations are only caving to one side, there's a tremendous asymmetry.
01:33:53.400
You'll see a corporation that receives 10 tweets and then you'll get a call from your ad broker saying, well, they've removed their advertising because they got 10 tweets.
01:34:00.620
And the answer to that isn't, oh, well, you know, they're a private business.
01:34:03.340
They can do what they want. They can. But they can also feel the blowback from the other side.
01:34:07.020
And so what we've done at our company, for example, is we've said to advertisers openly, quite openly, that if you want to advertise on our show, you can pull your advertising anytime you want.
01:34:16.300
But you're not allowed to announce it publicly.
01:34:18.220
If you do announce it publicly, you're going to have to pass out. And not only that, you understand that if you make a public statement about our shows or our audience, we'll go to war with you.
01:34:26.140
I mean, this is we cannot we think our brand value in dealing with advertisers that we believe in.
01:34:33.480
And you don't get to just undercut us that way with our own audience without blowing back on you.
01:34:37.640
And I think that broadly speaking, that's what the right needs to do at this point.
01:34:41.020
If you're going to see MLB pull out of Atlanta, then they need to feel it in the ratings.
01:34:45.620
If the NFL starts to go woke, they need to feel it in the ratings, because I would prefer that we go back to neutrality.
01:34:50.020
But we're never getting back to neutrality unless the left learns that this stuff is bad.
01:34:54.400
And this this really is important. You talk about this with offices.
01:34:58.340
You know, so many people just feel they're alone and they're not alone.
01:35:06.440
Everybody's afraid to say something and you don't know who to trust.
01:35:10.140
And so they just go in and they abide by these stupid things that they have to do.
01:35:16.500
You know, examine their whiteness at Coca-Cola, et cetera, et cetera.
01:35:20.120
And you're suggesting that they form a coalition.
01:35:24.480
Right. I mean, this is what we have to understand about how these institutions weren't left in the first place.
01:35:30.420
It wasn't because the broad majority of these institutions is in favor of these radical policies.
01:35:34.200
It's because you have the 10, 15, 20 percent of the people at any given corporation who are very loud and very intransigent.
01:35:40.540
And then you have a bunch of people in the middle who just say, well, it's easier to give in to them than to fight them.
01:35:44.720
And do we really want the headache? Well, you can do the same thing from the opposite point of view.
01:35:48.440
You can renormalize an institution. If you have 20 percent of the corporation that says, listen, we just want to be neutral here.
01:35:54.100
And it won't be 20. It'll be more like 50. And you get those people to sign a letter to the corporate head saying, listen, we're not doing this.
01:35:59.240
This whiteness is bad. Diversity training with Robin DiAngelo nonsense.
01:36:03.260
We're just we're not going to do it. We think that it's bad and we're not willing to do it.
01:36:07.020
Then the corporation has to decide between the 50 percent and the 20 percent.
01:36:09.800
Right now, the corporation is deciding between the 20 percent and the zero percent.
01:36:15.840
Explain your theory on veganism, because I think this is a great example.
01:36:19.840
Yeah. So, I mean, to give full credit to the person who kind of gives this metaphor, Nissen Nicholas Taleb, his metaphor is basically, let's say that you have a family of four and one of the members of the family, usually the daughter, comes home and says, I'm a vegan today.
01:36:34.960
And because I'm a vegan, mom, I need you to make me a vegan meal.
01:36:37.740
And so mom now has a decision. She can make a meat meal for the rest of the family and a vegan meal for the daughter.
01:36:42.300
Or she can say to the whole family, listen, I don't have time. We're all eating vegan tonight.
01:36:46.220
Well, now the daughter has successfully renormalized the family.
01:36:49.000
The entire family is now eating vegan because you had one intransigent person who just refused to budge.
01:36:54.040
Now you can take that entire family. There's a block party that night.
01:36:56.900
There's maybe three other families there. They go to the people throwing the block party.
01:36:59.680
They say, listen, we're all eating vegan because our daughter's eating vegan.
01:37:02.380
You can give us a separate meal. That's fine. But, you know, we're just not going to eat the meat.
01:37:05.360
Now the person who's the head of the block party has to decide whether to make a couple of separate meals.
01:37:09.380
And maybe she says, well, you know, it's probably not worth the hassle.
01:37:11.580
It's one night. Who cares? People can go vegan for one night.
01:37:13.760
And now you've got 16, 20 people who are all eating vegan because one person was intransigent about eating vegan.
01:37:19.700
The same thing holds true in politics, and you see this all the time.
01:37:28.220
It is. And it can only work under a couple of conditions.
01:37:32.400
One, you do need sort of a baseline level of support for the thing, usually about 15, 20 percent inside an organization.
01:37:38.600
Two, you need to have them asking for incremental, non-supremely radical things.
01:37:44.560
So this is what the left does. They don't go right away to, we need Robin DiAngelo teaching you the whiteness is bad.
01:37:49.480
They start with, we need diversity training. Are you against diversity?
01:37:52.320
Why don't you like diversity? Diversity is good. Are you racist?
01:37:55.220
And then it moves on to, well, you know, diversity training really has to encompass teaching about the systemic racism of the American system.
01:38:01.640
And what, don't you think that systems have histories? And then they move from systemic racism to, well, you know, if we're going to acknowledge systemic racism, we certainly have to acknowledge that you are a beneficiary of white privilege.
01:38:13.640
And if you're a beneficiary of white privilege, this means you suffer from whiteness.
01:38:16.380
You can see the sort of step-by-step encroachment.
01:38:18.820
But the key is you don't go zero to 100 all at once.
01:38:21.600
You start by slowly pushing the pedal, and eventually the pedal gets to the metal.
01:38:26.240
Most people have to be acclimated to it. And if every concession seems like a minor concession, pretty soon you've moved a really long way.
01:38:33.460
And this is true for virtually every social issue in the United States.
01:38:35.880
I mean, how do we go from, you know, a time when Americans were, you know, thinking that no-fault divorce was controversial to men can be women and women can be men.
01:38:45.620
I mean, it doesn't happen overnight. That takes a while, but it takes a lot of conciliation.
01:38:49.320
It takes a lot of cowardice, and it takes a lot of incrementalism.
01:38:52.000
The book that is out today is The Authoritarian Moment with Ben Shapiro. More with him in 60 seconds.
01:38:59.820
I buy precious metals like gold and silver for a couple of reasons.
01:39:04.020
I'm a collector of antique things, and these are antique coins, but also as a hedge against insanity.
01:39:09.980
Gold always is the default. When everything has gone insane and there's nothing left, we reset to gold.
01:39:24.820
In case you haven't noticed, there's an awful lot of insanity on the menu these days.
01:39:28.720
Federal government is spending the U.S. dollar into the ground, and it's, I mean, it's predictable.
01:39:34.120
We're not, the phrase, history repeats itself, is not the right phrase.
01:39:43.180
Goldline is giving away free silver with their extremely popular $5 gold Indian coins.
01:39:48.500
With every qualifying order, you'll receive 10 brilliant uncirculated silver Kennedy half dollars at no additional cost.
01:39:55.780
It's a great special on an already low-cost item.
01:39:58.760
If you're thinking about gold or silver, this is the perfect promotion for you from Goldline.
01:40:27.220
In November 1923, Hitler's attempted coup failed, but no one was held accountable.
01:40:36.040
Trump's January 21 coup failed, but six and a half months later, Trump faces no consequences,
01:40:47.140
I mean, Trump certainly didn't behave like an authoritarian in terms of what he was actually able to get done.
01:40:54.400
I think that Trump, he tends to use some strongman rhetoric because that's just how he talks.
01:40:59.120
But, you know, in terms of what did he actually do, the answer, of course, is no.
01:41:03.280
I mean, this is why I was hysterically funny and pathetic when General Milley was talking about how this was like a Reichstag fire situation,
01:41:12.940
I mean, you know how historically ignorant you have to be in order to come up with that?
01:41:15.940
First of all, it doesn't even make any internal sense.
01:41:17.840
The Reichstag fire was set by a deranged communist and then used as an excuse by the Nazis in order to pass the Enabling Act.
01:41:24.620
I'm going to send some of my friends over to set the Capitol on fire so I can then, what, declare myself total dictator?
01:41:32.460
Beyond that, there was no institutional support for anything that Trump was saying or doing.
01:41:36.100
And beyond that, this is not Nazi Germany circa 1932.
01:41:39.720
I mean, the reality of Hitler's rise is so wildly misunderstood by people who have never read a book that it's kind of insane.
01:41:48.060
I mean, people have to understand that when it comes to Hitler's rise, the key factor in Hitler's rise,
01:41:52.700
there were two major key factors in Hitler's rise that people tend to ignore.
01:41:55.840
One is that Hitler was pushing against the communists at the time,
01:41:58.440
and so there were a lot of people who felt the necessity to choose between one and the other.
01:42:01.580
And the other is that the power of the German government had already been centralized.
01:42:10.020
They'd already been operating under the auspices of minority governments with nearly dictatorial powers several years by the time Hitler took power.
01:42:17.980
That is not the case with regard to President Trump in any way, shape, or form.
01:42:21.780
So the historical analogy just doesn't work in any way.
01:42:26.920
But I guess if you say Hitler and over and over, then a president who was attempting to cut regulations and lower taxes
01:42:33.260
suddenly looks like the guy who was trying to imprison every Jew and gas them and invade half of Europe.
01:42:39.980
I mean, it's amazing how, you know, it's the God of the law argument.
01:42:44.640
You know you've lost when you start invoking Hitler.
01:42:45.980
I want to take you to the Old Testament here for a second.
01:42:49.700
And when God wants to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, two angels go in.
01:42:55.280
And the amazing thing about this story is they're taken in for shelter,
01:43:00.700
and the mob is insisting not that they come out and say everything is okay what you're doing.
01:43:09.060
Instead, they must participate in what Gomorrah and Sodom and Gomorrah are doing.
01:43:18.140
It's no longer, hey, just let's be good to each other.
01:43:23.100
Now it's you must say the things I believe, and you must participate in it.
01:43:28.140
Yeah, that's one of the more disturbing things that's happened is that the way the left is won here is, again,
01:43:36.640
Step one was saying to people, you know, you need to be civil.
01:43:40.340
You know, like when we have a political conversation, don't mention this inconvenient fact because it really insults me and I feel bad about it.
01:43:46.700
And people on the right and Americans generally tend to want to be civil.
01:43:49.440
And so they're like, okay, I guess I just want to say this quote-unquote offensive thing.
01:43:52.520
Then it turned into, well, speech itself is violent.
01:43:54.940
If you go ahead and you say that, it's not just that I'm offended, it's that you have done an act of violence against me and you must be shut up.
01:44:01.480
And then that turned even further into silence is violence.
01:44:04.920
This is a nonsensical, ridiculous thing that you heard during the Black Lives Matter protest last year.
01:44:10.000
If you don't mirror exactly what I am saying word for word, and I can change it on the dime, by the way, right?
01:44:16.960
If you don't mirror that word for word, you have committed an act of violence.
01:44:20.360
So in other words, if you're not part of the mob, then you ought to be targeted by the mob
01:44:26.620
I think one of the ways that the right completely misses the boat is that we're constantly looking for the through line for the left.
01:44:31.780
We're constantly saying, like, what's their internal logic?
01:44:39.840
I'd love to have you on for a podcast about the book when we have more time.
01:44:43.660
The book comes out today, The Authoritarian Moment by Ben Shapiro.
01:44:54.940
The things that I've learned just from hearing him talk about it.
01:45:05.580
Now, exactly what Ben was talking about was we have to have them hear our voices.
01:45:11.740
We have to have these people who are working against us hear our voices.
01:45:16.040
And it's hard to do in some categories, but not when it comes to your mobile service.
01:45:20.960
When it comes to your mobile service, why are you still using Verizon?
01:45:25.560
Why are you still using the people that take their money and fund anti-Second Amendment, pro-abortion stuff?
01:45:35.120
Patriot Mobile has the broadest nationwide coverage.

01:46:33.720
Tonight, on my Wednesday night special, only on BlazeTV,
01:46:38.400
I'm focusing on an alarming new strategy from the White House.
01:46:42.920
It is something that no one is really talking about,
01:46:53.960
and it was put together by the National Security Council under Biden,
01:46:58.660
and it is a blueprint for sweeping government action,
01:47:02.800
and it's called the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.
01:47:17.320
violent extremists, principally those who promote the superiority of the white race.
01:47:21.660
This has untold implications for the constitutional rights of all Americans.
01:47:29.880
We're already seeing government surveillance systems turning their focus on U.S. citizens.
01:47:34.420
What has happened because of January 6th is obscene.
01:47:48.620
but anyone who bought an airline ticket and was in Washington, D.C.,
01:47:52.580
anybody whose credit card went through to process anything in Washington, D.C.,
01:48:02.140
Tonight, Biden's new domestic terrorism threat, you.
01:48:08.960
Tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern, only on BlazeTV.com and BlazeTV YouTube.
01:48:15.940
Make sure you use the promo code BECK, or is it Glenn?
01:48:35.040
You don't normally have that before a broadcast.
01:48:39.440
I share things off air, and you take it right on air.
01:48:45.380
because I've been doing the show with you for over 20 years now.
01:48:50.260
I was with you in the lead up to a speech in front of 500,000 people in Washington, D.C.
01:48:59.540
And I remember being in the room as you wrote that speech,
01:49:07.520
You didn't show one side of nerves, and then here's a show,
01:49:11.480
I know it's a good show right after a brand new Stew Does America,
01:49:14.460
but you seem a little nervous about some upcoming event.
01:49:29.380
I tell Stew off the air, you know I'm a next event guy,
01:49:34.500
and I don't know if any – I have to explain that.
01:49:37.100
I only am concerned about what is next on my schedule
01:49:41.420
because my schedule is usually so full that I can't worry about stuff.
01:49:48.260
So I only get excited or anything when it's next on my schedule.
01:49:54.960
This is so far from next on my schedule, it's ridiculous.
01:49:59.000
I have three shows to produce and two charity events before Saturday.
01:50:10.380
I'm having my first gallery showing at Park City Fine Art,
01:50:15.100
and I may need a bucket, a barf bucket, because I am so nervous.
01:50:21.900
I've done shows with Glenn for a million years,
01:50:25.840
Like when you have to go out and talk in front of a big audience,
01:50:33.520
and they were like, are you going to write anything down?
01:50:41.320
obviously on the radio, on television, all the time.
01:50:43.400
And this show is going to be in front of a few people.
01:50:48.300
And it's selling your art and showing your art to people who may want to purchase it,
01:50:56.820
They can get a – they've got prints and all sorts of things.
01:51:06.740
I would like to say this is a Hunter Biden situation,
01:51:08.700
that you're clearly selling this for some sort of influence.
01:51:11.280
But your art is really good, and people seem to really like it.
01:51:17.560
That goes to why you're saying this, what you're saying now.
01:51:21.080
This is why I'm legitimately curious why you're worried.
01:51:30.080
But I don't know if people are going to show up.
01:51:34.340
I know people will show up to be supportive, and I love that.
01:51:37.880
But I'm going to – you're going to make me barf.
01:51:57.440
Do you have, like, business cards away for people to get in touch with you to be able to –
01:52:07.400
Do you have a sheet, an artist sheet on, you know, what you're – no.
01:52:16.400
I just – I went into my house two years ago, started taking lessons because I was so frustrated.
01:52:23.260
I painted my whole life, and I've hated them my whole life.
01:52:26.900
And then I started taking lessons, and I got good, and much to my surprise, much to my surprise –
01:52:47.480
And, like, what I like about this moment is there's potential here that this could fail spectacularly, and then I will have an incredible amount of material to torture you with.
01:53:03.180
You have not stopped smiling this whole entire break.
01:53:06.000
Because I know there's at least the potential of it.
01:53:08.120
My guess is it's going to do really well, and I don't like that.
01:53:18.980
For this event, everything that I've produced for this event, it's all going to charity.
01:53:24.860
Oh, my wife is like, how long is that going to go?
01:53:27.700
Because you know how much time you're spending on this?
01:53:39.180
So anyway, so everything this weekend is going for charity.
01:53:43.840
And they set just prices, and I didn't have anything to do with it.
01:53:50.020
I mean, it's going to – to buy one of these things –
01:54:00.880
And they're – look, they're not Hunter Biden level prices, but they're way up there.
01:54:05.800
Now, there are ways for regular people to buy these, too.
01:54:08.840
Because, I mean, the ones you're selling, the actual originals are out of the price range
01:54:23.560
Yeah, no, I mean, I know there are lots of listeners that are on the wealthy end, but
01:54:31.000
But it's a tax write-off this time, I just want to say.
01:54:34.120
The other part of that is you can buy – I had them do posters and, you know, limited run
01:54:46.740
stuff, and then what's called a gicle, which is like a limited run.
01:54:51.460
It looks just like the painting, except it's not the original.
01:54:57.160
So there's ways for people to be involved in it.
01:54:58.960
I don't know for sure, but you can call the art gallery or you can come up and get it.
01:55:08.280
Well, I mean, we're not making the paintings in the back with, like, Asian gulag people.
01:55:20.900
No, none of this – the canvas has not been produced by Uyghurs.
01:55:26.020
My point, though, is I'm interested in your perspective on this because you have basically
01:55:31.040
the only unique perspective, I think, in all of conservative media on this topic, which
01:55:36.300
is you are with a very legitimate gallery, and all of this is – these are, you know,
01:55:41.100
you've gone through this process in a somewhat similar way to the Hunter Biden situation.
01:55:49.800
A, you've been painting for a very long time, and there's a reason that people would want
01:55:54.580
But, like, would it be easy for some Russian oligarch that wanted to influence someone
01:56:02.040
close to you to come in here and throw a bunch of cash at your paintings and make it seem
01:56:12.780
If I come on Monday and I'm like, you know what?
01:56:21.360
I'm just saying because some guy bought up all my paintings.
01:56:24.660
But let's just put you in – like, you're well known for, let's say, being a relative
01:56:29.080
of a highly powerful person here in the United States.
01:56:32.700
This is a way that – this is not like something conservatives are making up.
01:56:40.260
The art gallery or the guy who runs the gallery, he has, for the longest time, trying to break
01:56:51.460
The Hunter Gallery guy is the one who wanted to break into the Chinese market.
01:57:05.180
And an actual red flag is what I'm talking about.
01:57:10.460
Right, because there is – they make the argument, some of the people that defend Hunter
01:57:14.760
Biden on this, and they'll say, look, he's a celebrity, and celebrity art goes for more
01:57:28.180
But secondly, like, if Hunter Biden is a celebrity, first of all, it's of the infamous
01:57:34.820
But, like, he's a celebrity in the United States of America.
01:57:39.920
Marketing to China and probably the Ukraine and Russia.
01:57:48.640
And this whole thing with him – you know, I'm doing some meet-and-greet thing with a
01:57:56.040
bunch of the gallery's clients that buy this kind of art tomorrow night, and they're closing
01:58:03.860
Well, that's what Hunter Biden is doing with the buyers at his gallery.
01:58:08.760
But you're not supposed to know who's buying the art.
01:58:12.120
Well, the only people that are going to that, you know, little soiree are the people interested
01:58:19.240
in buying your art, and they're coming by invitation.
01:58:22.580
It's not like, I'm just going to stop by the – they're coming by invitation.
01:58:26.900
So how is it that Hunter Biden is not going to know the people who are buying his art?
01:58:33.680
You know, maybe there's somebody who walks in off the street and is like, I've got to
01:58:41.760
But maybe there is, and he wouldn't know that guy.
01:58:44.360
But if you're going to the cocktail party beforehand, that is by invitation for people who are going
01:59:08.240
There's absolutely no chance he does not find out who bought this art.
01:59:26.480
And I would expect Joe Biden in this situation.
01:59:29.120
Honestly, even though I think nothing of the guy, I would think Joe Biden would be on
01:59:37.860
He's obviously had massive problems throughout his life.
01:59:41.180
He should know the problems this creates for the work I'm trying to do in Washington that
01:59:51.840
And for a little bit of money in a short term that he's probably going to spend on crack,
01:59:57.060
But instead, he's coming up with justifications as if it's legitimate.
02:00:02.340
If your paintings are $500,000 a piece, okay, you're going to walk away with $5 million.
02:00:10.440
You're going to walk away with $5 million when it's all said and done.
02:00:14.500
And if Joe Biden's getting half of it, which apparently the Hunter Biden laptop proves,
02:00:20.220
if he's getting part of it, that's a lot of money for his retirement.
02:00:25.280
And remember, Joe Biden is not the guy we used to think he was.
02:00:30.940
We used to think he was a very liberal guy, but he was a goofball, et cetera.
02:00:37.760
And I think the way he's handled this situation is such a strong signal that proves that.
02:00:43.620
All the work that Peter Schweizer's done previously.
02:00:45.600
Remember, before all of this, he was saying Joe Biden was the most corrupt vice president
02:00:51.360
Before any of this with Ukraine or anything ever came out.
02:00:54.960
If you're interested in any of the details, it's parkcityfineart.com.
02:01:05.660
Maybe it's a round of golf that you want to play.
02:01:09.420
Get on the floor and wrestle with your kids or your grandkids and you can't because of pain.
02:01:15.000
Two and a half years ago, I could barely use my hands from the pain.
02:01:21.420
Things you can't do because you're living with pain.
02:01:27.280
I know there's a ton of people that have gotten free of their pain like me with relief factor.
02:01:36.200
If it doesn't work for you in three weeks, it's most likely not going to work.
02:01:42.060
But in those three weeks, if you start to see a lessening of pain, keep taking it.
