00:01:38.620 i mean adam shift weeps and the world laughs uh it's the uh january 6th hearings yesterday

00:01:46.960 two congressmen could not control their emotions they were so upset by it

00:01:51.620 uh and i think that's fantastic i really i really do um i'm not one to make fun of people crying

00:01:59.060 unless you really don't have anything to cry about you know what i'm saying i'll give you something to

00:02:04.420 cry about that's what my father would have said uh yesterday we're gonna we're gonna talk about that

00:02:09.380 this hour ben shapiro is joining us on the show we're gonna talk a lot about authoritarianism

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 0.76

00:05:15.820 extremists principally those who promote the superiority of the white race now those guys have always been a 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 if you are not subscribed to the blaze please subscribe now uh you can subscribe at blaze tv.com

00:06:51.020 and you can also watch this on blaze tv youtube it's biden's new domestic terrorism threat you

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

00:15:56.200 here's the truth

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

00:18:25.140 the lockdown has turned fear into a virtue

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 1.00

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

00:19:31.160 but it's a virtue

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

00:25:17.200 do you know that they actually moved barricades

00:25:21.000 okay okay hang on just a second

00:25:27.000 a podium a podium was taken

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 0.85

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 0.77

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 0.66

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 1.00

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 0.88

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

00:39:09.940 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

00:41:13.140 that's a terrible idea do not ask her about it because she'll lie to you she'll lie to you about 0.98

00:41:20.100 it probably uh anyway uh lisa was turned on to built bars she turned my wife on to built bars 1.00

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

00:43:15.880 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

00:44:10.560 tom fitton joins us in 60 seconds

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

00:49:42.580 what are the odds that that i'm being spied on

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 0.96

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 0.57

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

01:00:11.780 this police state is being built as we speak and it is happening rapidly rapidly

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 0.78

01:01:12.180 the white race end quote well i want violent extremists and anybody who's promoting the 0.98

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 0.99

01:01:26.020 they're dangerous and if they are violent they should be arrested but this white house uh strategy 0.96

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

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 0.82

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 0.65

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 0.99

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 0.99

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

01:25:28.600 Mr. Ben Shapiro is joining us.

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.

01:25:57.560 Yes. Mr. Ben Shapiro, how are you, sir?

01:26:00.440 Hey, doing okay. How are you?

01:26:01.820 I'm good. I'm good. I'm excited.

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,

01:26:16.840 some of these authoritarian moments as we go.

01:26:20.740 But first, give the setup of the book.

01:26:22.880 What are you talking about in it?

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.

01:26:51.360 They were all arrested.

01:26:52.900 They're all going to go to jail.

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?

01:27:37.680 Correct.

01:27:37.840 Who are the institutions that are threatening? 1.00

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. 0.52

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, 0.97

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,

01:28:10.560 because authoritarianism was this new idea.

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.

01:29:27.900 We're the unchallenged global hegemon.

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.

01:29:51.180 I mean, they usually buy these things.

01:29:52.920 I want to take you to one of the authoritarian moments.

01:29:55.720 This is from 1933.

01:29:57.340 It's a it's a parade.

01:29:59.220 Tell me why this is important.

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.

01:30:43.340 We'll get to that other clip in a minute.

01:30:45.280 So tell me why that parade was important.

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.

01:31:04.940 And industrial magnets do.

01:31:06.120 Well, I guess better than the communists.

01:31:07.500 And then they would go along with it.

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.

01:31:17.000 You're supposed to put it up in your window.

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.

01:31:49.200 I think it's even more clear with ESG scores.

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. 0.98

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. 0.94

01:33:36.760 Explain your position on this. 0.98

01:33:38.880 So I'm with you. I hate boycotts.

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.

01:35:03.300 They're in the majority. But nobody's afraid.

01:35:06.440 Everybody's afraid to say something and you don't know who to trust. 0.99

01:35:10.140 And so they just go in and they abide by these stupid things that they have to do. 0.99

01:35:16.500 You know, examine their whiteness at Coca-Cola, et cetera, et cetera. 0.99

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. 1.00

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.

01:36:13.200 People don't get mobilized and unified.

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. 1.00

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. 0.99

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. 0.63

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.

01:37:22.940 This is true in corporations.

01:37:24.720 This is tyranny of the minority. 0.92

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.

01:39:39.600 History is repeating itself right now.

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.

01:40:02.840 They're standing by to talk to you about it.

01:40:04.660 No pressure. Just get the information.

01:40:07.080 866-GOLDLINE.

01:40:08.740 866-GOLDLINE.

01:40:10.380 Or go to goldline.com.

01:40:12.400 10-second station ID.

01:40:24.060 Robert Reich just tweeted out,

01:40:27.220 In November 1923, Hitler's attempted coup failed, but no one was held accountable.

01:40:31.080 Yeah, they were.

01:40:33.020 He went to prison.

01:40:33.920 10 years later, he took over Germany.

01:40:36.040 Trump's January 21 coup failed, but six and a half months later, Trump faces no consequences,

01:40:41.200 and his co-conspirators are still in Congress.

01:40:45.360 Is Trump an authoritarian?

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.

01:40:58.960 Right.

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, 0.57

01:41:10.140 and he's a Hitlerian figure. 0.89

01:41:11.680 It's like, what? 0.97

01:41:12.940 I mean, you know how historically ignorant you have to be in order to come up with that? 0.78

01:41:15.940 First of all, it doesn't even make any internal sense. 0.90

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.

01:41:23.280 So what was Trump's theory there?

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?

01:41:30.540 That doesn't even work internally.

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, 0.84

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.

01:42:06.820 Hitler was a late-term dictator. 0.62

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. 0.94

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. 0.63

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. 0.67

01:43:15.540 And we're at that point now.

01:43:18.140 It's no longer, hey, just let's be good to each other.

01:43:20.920 Hey, that kind of hurts my feelings.

01:43:22.240 Maybe don't say that.

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,

01:43:34.680 a sort of incremental three-step process.

01:43:36.640 Step one was saying to people, you know, you need to be civil.

01:43:39.720 Just 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.

01:43:45.660 So just don't do that.

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.

01:44:00.100 You must be silenced.

01:44:01.480 And then that turned even further into silence is violence. 0.98

01:44:04.920 This is a nonsensical, ridiculous thing that you heard during the Black Lives Matter protest last year. 0.85

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? 0.92

01:44:14.420 It doesn't have to be consistent.

01:44:15.440 There doesn't have to be an internal logic.

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

01:44:24.260 because you're performing an act of violence.

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?

01:44:33.580 What are they trying to accomplish?

01:44:34.800 And the answer is power.

01:44:36.200 There is no internal logic.

01:44:37.740 Yeah.

01:44:38.380 Ben Shapiro, thank you so much.

01:44:39.840 I'd love to have you on for a podcast about the book when we have more time.

01:44:42.820 I know you're busy today.

01:44:43.660 The book comes out today, The Authoritarian Moment by Ben Shapiro.

01:44:48.620 Ben, thanks so much.

01:44:49.420 God bless.

01:44:50.460 Thanks, Glenn.

01:44:51.040 Bye-bye.

01:44:51.700 A really good book.

01:44:54.940 The things that I've learned just from hearing him talk about it.

01:44:58.620 And he goes into history in the book.

01:45:00.560 Pick it up today.

01:45:03.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

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?

01:45:32.760 Why are we doing this?

01:45:35.120 Patriot Mobile has the broadest nationwide coverage.

01:45:39.000 It uses the same cell towers as the major carriers.

01:45:42.340 So you're getting the same service.

01:45:44.700 But they also have plans that fit any budget.

01:45:47.180 You're going to get better customer service.

01:45:49.220 You're going to save money.

01:45:51.360 And you're not.

01:45:52.560 You're sending a message.

01:45:55.360 Do you hear me now?

01:45:56.260 Stop it.

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,

01:46:46.740 and everyone should be talking about.

01:46:49.960 Big media has just rubber-stamped this idea,

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.

01:47:06.680 It's on the WhiteHouse.gov website,

01:47:09.920 and what it spells out is terrifying.

01:47:13.920 It focuses really only on, quote, 0.97

01:47:17.320 violent extremists, principally those who promote the superiority of the white race. 0.72

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.

01:47:38.360 They have used the banking system.

01:47:42.000 They have used the airlines.

01:47:44.020 And only if you were in Washington, D.C.,

01:47:46.520 not because you were suspected of something,

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.,

01:47:57.160 they got Airbnb to be involved.

01:48:00.180 This is all unconstitutional.

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.

01:48:14.860 Don't miss this.

01:48:15.940 Make sure you use the promo code BECK, or is it Glenn?

01:48:21.460 Or Glenn, yeah, he is Glenn.

01:48:23.340 Use the promo code GLENN and save.

01:48:25.520 Right after a brand new Stew Does America. 0.71

01:48:28.900 Oh, my gosh.

01:48:29.980 By the way, it must be an important show.

01:48:32.060 You look kind of nervous.

01:48:32.980 I've noticed you got the jitters.

01:48:35.040 You don't normally have that before a broadcast.

01:48:36.360 You know, you're not really a friend.

01:48:37.540 Do you know that?

01:48:38.260 You're not really a friend.

01:48:39.440 I share things off air, and you take it right on air.

01:48:41.740 No, well, I am a friend, and I'm concerned

01:48:45.380 because I've been doing the show with you for over 20 years now.

01:48:49.680 Yeah, yeah.

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.

01:48:58.860 Right.

01:48:59.540 And I remember being in the room as you wrote that speech,

01:49:04.020 and you were incredibly calm.

01:49:07.520 You didn't show one side of nerves, and then here's a show,

01:49:09.860 a Wednesday show on BlazeTV.

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.

01:49:18.780 I can only assume it's this Wednesday show.

01:49:20.560 Is there anything else?

01:49:22.080 Well, it is.

01:49:22.620 It is?

01:49:23.100 It is.

01:49:23.500 It's this show tonight.

01:49:24.380 So nothing else going on this week, huh?

01:49:26.100 I know you've got a Friday show.

01:49:27.040 Is it the Friday show, maybe? 1.00

01:49:28.220 You're such a jerk. 1.00

01:49:29.380 I tell Stew off the air, you know I'm a next event guy, 1.00

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.

01:49:46.420 I've got to focus on what I'm focused on.

01:49:48.260 So I only get excited or anything when it's next on my schedule.

01:49:54.520 Right.

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.

01:50:07.300 Why?

01:50:07.780 What Saturday?

01:50:08.380 Is there something going on Saturday?

01:50:09.780 Yeah.

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.

01:50:19.780 This is hilarious because Glenn is –

01:50:21.900 I've done shows with Glenn for a million years,

01:50:23.900 and you're never nervous before shows.

01:50:25.840 Like when you have to go out and talk in front of a big audience,

01:50:27.780 you've done it a million times.

01:50:29.440 I just did it at CPAC.

01:50:30.780 I just did it at CPAC.

01:50:31.540 Two hours before, I hadn't written my speech,

01:50:33.520 and they were like, are you going to write anything down?

01:50:37.000 I'm like, nah, I got it.

01:50:38.160 Right.

01:50:38.900 I got it.

01:50:39.400 You do shows in front of millions of people,

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.

01:50:46.720 And I'm terrified.

01:50:48.300 And it's selling your art and showing your art to people who may want to purchase it,

01:50:55.840 may want to enjoy it.

01:50:56.820 They can get a – they've got prints and all sorts of things.

01:50:59.740 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:51:00.420 You could theoretically get.

01:51:01.180 Yeah.

01:51:01.680 But your art is really good, unfortunately. 0.99

01:51:05.340 I would like to say that it sucks. 0.87

01:51:06.740 I would like to say this is a Hunter Biden situation, 0.98

01:51:08.700 that you're clearly selling this for some sort of influence.

01:51:11.000 Right.

01:51:11.280 But your art is really good, and people seem to really like it.

01:51:13.400 Which I – I don't like that they like it.

01:51:15.500 Right.

01:51:15.780 I know that.

01:51:16.080 To be clear.

01:51:16.420 I know that.

01:51:16.680 I don't like that.

01:51:17.560 That goes to why you're saying this, what you're saying now.

01:51:20.660 No, I'm here.

01:51:21.080 This is why I'm legitimately curious why you're worried.

01:51:24.320 I mean, you've – people have –

01:51:27.360 Because I don't know how many people –

01:51:28.420 The reaction is already really positive to it.

01:51:29.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:51:30.080 But I don't know if people are going to show up.

01:51:31.940 I don't know if people show up are –

01:51:34.340 I know people will show up to be supportive, and I love that.

01:51:37.400 Thank you.

01:51:37.880 But I'm going to – you're going to make me barf.

01:51:41.920 I don't know if anybody's going to buy it.

01:51:44.760 I have no idea.

01:51:45.780 No idea.

01:51:47.060 And it's like, this is so personal.

01:51:52.940 I have no experience at this at all.

01:51:56.200 I was talking to somebody, and they said,

01:51:57.440 Do you have, like, business cards away for people to get in touch with you to be able to –

01:52:03.080 And I'm like, no.

01:52:04.660 I've worked with you for 20 years.

01:52:06.000 I don't know how to get in touch with you.

01:52:07.000 I know.

01:52:07.400 Do you have a sheet, an artist sheet on, you know, what you're – no.

01:52:13.640 I mean, I have no idea what I'm doing.

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 –

01:52:36.080 And mine.

01:52:36.720 And everybody, really.

01:52:38.820 They're for sale in a legitimate gallery.

01:52:41.420 Yeah.

01:52:41.820 Legitimate gallery.

01:52:42.620 What's the name of it again?

01:52:43.500 Park City Fine Art.

01:52:44.700 Park City Fine Art.

01:52:45.600 Yeah.

01:52:45.720 I mean, this is pretty impressive.

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.

01:52:58.080 That is what I'm excited about.

01:52:59.620 It makes you happy, doesn't it?

01:52:59.740 I really –

01:53:00.340 I can't stop smiling.

01:53:01.160 You are rooting for the –

01:53:02.120 I can't stop smiling.

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.

01:53:11.160 But I think there's a potential that maybe –

01:53:13.840 I mean, how many people are out there –

01:53:15.560 I mean, all my proceeds go to charity, okay?

01:53:18.980 For this event, everything that I've produced for this event, it's all going to charity.

01:53:22.860 Terrible idea, by the way.

01:53:23.900 I totally don't understand.

01:53:24.860 Oh, my wife is like, how long is that going to go? 1.00

01:53:27.700 Because you know how much time you're spending on this?

01:53:29.400 And I'm like, well, but yeah.

01:53:30.740 But she's like, yeah.

01:53:32.500 Yeah.

01:53:33.340 Yeah.

01:53:34.200 And I'm like, okay.

01:53:35.260 Okay.

01:53:35.560 I don't know what yeah means, but okay.

01:53:37.320 Whatever it meant, I'll do.

01:53:38.320 Yes, dear.

01:53:38.460 Whatever you say.

01:53:39.180 So anyway, so everything this weekend is going for charity.

01:53:41.740 But the art world is weird.

01:53:43.840 And they set just prices, and I didn't have anything to do with it.

01:53:47.320 And it was like, wow, okay.

01:53:49.640 Yeah.

01:53:50.020 I mean, it's going to – to buy one of these things –

01:53:52.760 And how many Glenn Beck art fans are there?

01:53:55.120 Three?

01:53:55.960 Well, I've sold three paintings so far.

01:53:58.140 I guess there's three.

01:53:59.720 I don't know.

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

01:54:12.100 of basically everybody.

01:54:13.960 Well, I mean, I would say –

01:54:15.700 Not people who run Amazon.

01:54:18.140 Jeffrey Bezos.

01:54:19.620 You did it.

01:54:20.600 You did it.

01:54:22.240 Maybe he could come in and buy one.

01:54:23.560 Yeah, no, I mean, I know there are lots of listeners that are on the wealthy end, but

01:54:28.260 it takes a wealthy end to buy the originals.

01:54:30.000 Right.

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.

01:54:55.040 And those are available as well.

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.

01:55:02.500 And this is a very above-board art show.

01:55:07.500 What does that mean?

01:55:08.280 Well, I mean, we're not making the paintings in the back with, like, Asian gulag people. 1.00

01:55:16.460 I mean, that's not what's happening here.

01:55:19.000 They're not from Uyghur death camps.

01:55:20.900 No, none of this – the canvas has not been produced by Uyghurs. 1.00

01:55:25.600 No.

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.

01:55:47.200 No, I don't think so.

01:55:48.320 Let me separate it from now.

01:55:49.800 A, you've been painting for a very long time, and there's a reason that people would want

01:55:53.100 your art.

01:55:53.600 So that's totally different.

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

01:56:07.780 like they were art fans?

01:56:09.100 I welcome it.

01:56:11.220 Buy the whole thing.

01:56:12.780 If I come on Monday and I'm like, you know what?

01:56:15.340 Authoritarianism, not so bad.

01:56:16.760 Putin's a pretty good guy.

01:56:18.040 Vladimir P.

01:56:18.960 You should know that I don't mean it.

01:56:21.360 I'm just saying because some guy bought up all my paintings.

01:56:23.660 I'm totally cool with that.

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.

01:56:37.620 This could happen in this scenario.

01:56:39.460 This is happening.

01:56:40.260 The art gallery or the guy who runs the gallery, he has, for the longest time, trying to break

01:56:46.840 in to the Chinese market, okay?

01:56:49.520 The Hunter Gallery, not your gallery.

01:56:51.000 The Hunter Gallery, yeah.

01:56:51.460 The Hunter Gallery guy is the one who wanted to break into the Chinese market.

01:56:56.000 They are marketing Hunter Biden's paintings.

01:56:58.940 Not here.

01:57:00.080 They're marketing them in China.

01:57:02.160 Yeah.

01:57:02.760 That's a big red flag.

01:57:04.160 Like, so, I mean –

01:57:05.180 And an actual red flag is what I'm talking about.

01:57:07.300 Right, right, yeah, yeah.

01:57:08.140 I mean, that's clear what's going on there.

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

01:57:19.280 than you'd normally get for a normal artist.

01:57:22.040 And, like, that might be true.

01:57:23.700 However, like –

01:57:24.720 I think I'm a bigger celebrity.

01:57:26.160 First of all, you're a much bigger celebrity.

01:57:28.180 But secondly, like, if Hunter Biden is a celebrity, first of all, it's of the infamous

01:57:33.260 variety.

01:57:34.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:57:34.820 But, like, he's a celebrity in the United States of America.

01:57:38.120 Why are you –

01:57:39.140 Marketing to China.

01:57:39.920 Marketing to China and probably the Ukraine and Russia.

01:57:43.400 Oh, yeah.

01:57:44.420 These paintings.

01:57:45.000 I mean, it makes no sense.

01:57:47.060 It makes no sense.

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

01:58:01.640 down the gallery, and a few people are coming.

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

01:58:36.680 have one of those $500,000 paintings.

01:58:39.380 I doubt it.

01:58:40.500 I doubt it.

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

01:58:50.920 to buy the art.

01:58:52.580 Hello?

01:58:53.120 And you don't come.

01:58:54.600 You already know what the art looks like.

01:58:56.780 You're not coming to the place.

01:58:58.280 Usually.

01:58:58.700 I mean, you have interest.

01:59:00.260 Right.

01:59:00.460 You have interest.

01:59:01.100 Doesn't mean you're going to buy it.

01:59:02.040 You have interest.

01:59:04.400 This is so bad.

01:59:06.000 It's so bad.

01:59:07.180 And I will say this.

01:59:08.240 There's absolutely no chance he does not find out who bought this art.

01:59:12.240 Absolutely.

01:59:12.680 No, it is.

01:59:13.380 No chance of it.

01:59:14.200 It is the most crass and obvious scam.

01:59:22.660 Money laundering scam.

01:59:24.420 I've ever – I mean, it's so obvious.

01:59:26.320 Yeah.

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

01:59:34.840 television saying, look, I love my son.

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

01:59:46.540 we all believe in.

01:59:48.160 It creates all sorts of problems.

01:59:51.840 And for a little bit of money in a short term that he's probably going to spend on crack,

01:59:56.220 it's not worth it.

01:59:57.060 But instead, he's coming up with justifications as if it's legitimate.

02:00:01.860 Because he's getting part of it.

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.

02:00:13.140 That's a lot of money.

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. 0.89

02:00:30.940 We used to think he was a very liberal guy, but he was a goofball, et cetera. 0.76

02:00:34.960 He's not. 1.00

02:00:35.600 No, he's very corrupt. 0.99

02:00:36.980 Very corrupt. 0.96

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

02:00:49.780 in American history.

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.

02:01:02.040 They don't sell anything from Hunter Biden.

02:01:04.540 Relief factor.

02:01:05.660 Maybe it's a round of golf that you want to play.

02:01:08.560 You can't anymore.

02:01:09.420 Get on the floor and wrestle with your kids or your grandkids and you can't because of pain.

02:01:12.940 I wanted to paint again and I couldn't.

02:01:15.000 Two and a half years ago, I could barely use my hands from the pain.

02:01:18.520 It's gone now.

02:01:19.960 Thanks to relief factor.

02:01:21.420 Things you can't do because you're living with pain.

02:01:25.720 Don't give up.

02:01:27.280 I know there's a ton of people that have gotten free of their pain like me with relief factor.

02:01:32.760 Just try it.

02:01:33.920 Try it for three weeks.

02:01:35.180 The quick start.

02:01:36.200 If it doesn't work for you in three weeks, it's most likely not going to work.

02:01:40.260 So you'll be out 1995.

02:01:42.060 But in those three weeks, if you start to see a lessening of pain, keep taking it.

02:01:47.280 Because I'm telling you, it works.

02:01:50.900 Relief factor dot com.

02:01:52.320 Eight hundred five hundred eighty three eighty four.

02:01:54.360 It doesn't work for everybody.

02:01:55.660 But about 70 percent of the people who try it go on to order more.

02:01:59.580 Relief factor dot com.

02:02:01.060 Eight hundred five hundred eighty three eighty four.

02:02:03.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

02:02:09.320 We are very concerned about one of our own.

02:02:11.820 And we would ask for your prayers for Stephen Crowder.

02:02:17.100 Stephen tweeted something last night.

02:02:19.660 He had a minor lung collapse.

02:02:21.560 He has been in the hospital now for a while.

02:02:23.720 He had to have surgery where they put titanium rods into his chest because he has some connective tissue disorder that causes his chest to cave in on his heart.

02:02:34.920 And so he doesn't have the blood flow that he he needs.

02:02:38.980 So they put these titanium rods into his chest and he was recovering in the hospital.

02:02:44.300 His lung collapsed.

02:02:45.400 He's having more surgery.

02:02:47.160 And we just we would ask that you would keep him in your prayers.

02:02:52.420 He is a tremendous force for good and works all the time, all the time.

02:03:01.240 He is a hardworking man and we're concerned about him.

02:03:06.520 He's he says last night it was a minor lung collapse.

02:03:11.100 I don't know if you ever call those minor minor lung collapse.

02:03:14.400 And he's going to be on the road to recovery.

02:03:17.620 It's just going to take him longer.

02:03:20.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

02:03:22.420 Thanks.
