The Glenn Beck Program - The Digital Dollar Is Here (Glenn Tried to Warn You) ｜ Guest： Rep. Andy Biggs

00:00:00.000 One thing I love more than coming on this program and telling you all the good news of the day,

00:00:05.840 and that is eating Bilt Bars because it's like a candy bar.

00:00:11.560 I mean, who wouldn't love it?

00:00:14.540 Bilt Bars have 130 calories, 4 grams of sugar, 4 grams of net carbs, 7 grams of protein.

00:00:21.380 My wife loves them.

00:00:22.480 Stu's wife loves them.

00:00:24.500 But they like them because they're healthy.

00:00:26.340 I like them because they have real chocolate, 100% real chocolate.

00:00:33.460 I don't know how they make them.

00:00:35.440 Probably some sort of witchcraft or voodoo.

00:00:38.200 I don't really care.

00:00:39.480 It tastes great.

00:01:35.100 Oh.

00:01:35.440 Oh.

00:01:35.780 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:53.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:59.100 Well, hello, you sick, twisted freak.

00:02:03.680 Last night, it happened.

00:02:07.520 In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy

00:02:12.620 for President of the United States.

00:02:16.300 I have the balls and the strikes on both Trump and DeSantis.

00:02:22.120 He announced last night in one of the most disciplined speeches I've ever seen him give.

00:02:29.420 And the media, of course, loved it.

00:02:32.880 We'll tell you all about it in 60 seconds.

00:02:35.720 Sad to say, but there are a lot of people right now that want nothing more in life than

00:02:42.500 to steal your stuff.

00:02:43.860 Wouldn't it be great if people would just leave other people alone?

00:02:47.700 You know, why?

00:02:49.520 I don't get it.

00:02:50.340 You work so hard to be a bad guy.

00:02:52.260 It's so much easier just to live off the government, quite honestly.

00:02:56.600 They'll use the most sinister, sophisticated ways possible to do it.

00:03:00.780 And if you think you're immune, you're wrong.

00:03:04.000 If you think that cybersecurity doesn't apply to you, it's probably just a matter of time

00:03:11.240 until it's your turn.

00:03:13.060 Because everything we do is on line light right now.

00:03:16.880 And you don't want to cut internet safety out of the budget.

00:03:53.180 So, I don't know, did you watch the speech yesterday?

00:03:57.640 Yeah, a good chunk of it, yeah.

00:03:58.400 Okay.

00:03:58.740 So, I watched most of it myself.

00:04:01.320 I've never seen him that disciplined.

00:04:03.600 He did everything that he needed to do and none of the other crap, which would have gotten

00:04:09.960 him in trouble.

00:04:10.560 He did not take on Ron DeSantis or anybody else in the GOP, did not eat his own.

00:04:19.380 He instead reminded people to vote for Georgia, vote in Georgia for Walker.

00:04:24.980 He reminded people of his accomplishments and what America used to be like just two short

00:04:30.580 years ago, and then laid out an agenda to bring it back.

00:04:34.040 He also did not bring up the 2020 election, which I thought him being focused forward is

00:04:42.940 the biggest thing that he had to do, and he did it last night.

00:04:48.000 Now, because I call balls and strikes, there's the good things that Trump did.

00:04:53.460 DeSantis, I think, stumbled yesterday.

00:04:56.380 Stop it.

00:04:57.620 Stop it.

00:04:59.180 Yesterday, he came out and he said something about Trump.

00:05:02.260 I don't even remember what it was.

00:05:03.440 I mean, people asked him about Trump attacking him, and I think what his quote, he said,

00:05:10.000 it wasn't that bad.

00:05:11.080 He said, you know, incoming fire is part of the gig.

00:05:13.020 You know, I just say, look at the scoreboard from last week.

00:05:15.820 Here he is, cut four.

00:05:17.380 Blacks know what you think about Trump's big announcement of some of the less than flattering

00:05:21.860 comments he has made about you.

00:05:23.240 Well, you know, one of the things I've learned in this job is when you're leading, when you're

00:05:30.640 getting things done, yeah, you take incoming fire.

00:05:34.060 That's just the nature of it.

00:05:35.660 I roll out of bed in the morning.

00:05:37.440 I've got corporate media outlets that have a spasm, just the fact that I'm getting up in

00:05:41.400 the morning, and it's constantly attacking, and this is just what's happened.

00:05:45.500 I don't think any governor got attacked more, particularly by corporate media, than me

00:05:51.000 over my four-year term, and yet I think what you learn is all that's just noise, and really

00:05:57.940 what matters is are you leading, are you getting in front of issues, are you delivering results

00:06:03.900 for people, and are you standing up for folks, and if you do that, then none of that stuff

00:06:08.940 matters, and that's what we've done.

00:06:10.960 We focused on results and leadership, and, you know, at the end of the day, I would just

00:06:16.960 tell people to go check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night.

00:06:20.400 It was the greatest Republican victory in the history of the state of Florida.

00:06:27.580 I don't know.

00:06:28.120 I think that's the right tone for him.

00:06:29.460 I mean, he can't, you know, he's asked about it.

00:06:31.600 I just would have liked him to say, yeah, Trump helped me out, and I have no problem with

00:06:35.500 Trump, and that's just me nitpicky, but I just would like, I would just like somebody

00:06:40.300 to surrender here and say, I don't have enemies in the GOP.

00:06:44.020 I'd like somebody to play Ronald Reagan, and I thought Donald Trump did the best that

00:06:49.020 Donald Trump can do.

00:06:50.280 Last night, he didn't fire off any shots, which I thought was amazing.

00:06:54.400 Of course, it wasn't enough for the media.

00:06:56.960 Oh, boy.

00:06:57.920 Donald Trump announces he's running for president in 2024.

00:07:02.780 This is from the Washington Post.

00:07:05.880 Donald Trump, the twice impeached former president who refused to concede defeat and inspired a

00:07:12.240 failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election, culminating in a deadly attack on the U.S.

00:07:18.100 Capitol, officially declared on Tuesday night that he's running to retake the White House

00:07:22.840 in 2024.

00:07:24.260 Well, I think that was totally fair and balanced, don't you?

00:07:28.300 So let's look at CNN.

00:07:30.900 Former president Donald Trump, aiming to become the only second commander-in-chief ever elected

00:07:38.180 to two non-consecutive terms announced Tuesday night he will seek the Republican presidential

00:07:43.740 nomination.

00:07:45.060 Then he goes into, then it goes into a quote.

00:07:48.640 Trump delivered a relatively subdued speech, rife with spurious and exaggerated claims about

00:07:54.100 his four years in office, despite a historically divisive presidency and his own role in inciting

00:07:59.260 an attack on the U.S.

00:08:00.260 So at least at CNN, it took him three paragraphs where the Washington Post got it all in at

00:08:07.500 once.

00:08:09.420 NPR, Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and

00:08:15.040 inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power,

00:08:20.220 announced he's running again for president in 2024.

00:08:23.000 I mean, just despite the bias, like, does anyone think that we forgot, like, that he was president

00:08:30.100 of the United States and that there was this concert?

00:08:32.700 Like, we all remember the story.

00:08:34.740 You don't need to remind us.

00:08:35.820 They all put it in the headlines.

00:08:37.020 Like, Donald Trump, who organized a coup, wants to be president.

00:08:40.880 Okay, we got what you think about that story.

00:08:43.020 Like, you have covered it at length several times.

00:08:47.500 Yeah, but I think that there might be a senator from Pennsylvania who might remember that.

00:08:53.000 Um, so we have NPR.

00:08:55.060 Let's see.

00:08:55.560 Who else do we have?

00:08:56.260 Well, Los Angeles Times.

00:08:58.480 Trump doesn't want your vote in 2024.

00:09:00.980 Just your obedience while he trashes the U.S. again.

00:09:04.300 So I think it was fair and balanced.

00:09:06.440 I think they were so dumb.

00:09:08.180 They were open.

00:09:09.680 Uh, then you have from Politico, three major cable cable news networks, CNN, Fox and MSNBC

00:09:16.080 to different extents limited their airtime of President Donald Trump's speech Tuesday evening

00:09:21.040 in which he announced his 2024 presidential campaign.

00:09:25.520 MSNBC did not air the primetime speech at all.

00:09:29.080 Fox and CNN cut away from more than hour-long address.

00:09:33.140 Trump verbally announced his candidacy.

00:09:35.540 Fox cut away 15 minutes later than CNN and then switched back to Trump.

00:09:40.040 Uh, I, uh, this brings up one thing.

00:09:43.460 And I, and I just don't think that Trump is, he's very comfortable speaking.

00:09:49.920 He is really good at large events like that.

00:09:53.120 But I would have liked to see him do it in 20 minutes.

00:09:56.180 And, and knowing that he is the best in off the cuff and long format, but to regain independence

00:10:03.740 and people who are buying into all of the crap, uh, he really, he needs to have a much

00:10:12.240 shorter thing so people will watch it and consume it, uh, that would not normally consume these

00:10:19.880 things.

00:10:20.320 I mean, it could just be left up to a social team.

00:10:23.120 Let's see what they do with his speech tonight.

00:10:25.480 He also needs to get back onto Twitter.

00:10:28.460 Uh, and I know he has his own truth social, um, but Mr. President, please, please take my

00:10:35.900 advice.

00:10:36.920 I didn't do YouTube up until what, two years ago.

00:10:40.740 Uh, and that's because we put everything we had into the blaze and it worked because we

00:10:48.020 did build the blaze and the blaze is stronger now than ever before.

00:10:51.640 Um, it served our core, but we realized we have to be where, wherever people are.

00:11:00.540 So we're on everything and it's important strategically to be on everything, no matter where people are.

00:11:09.340 So I would urge you to try to get back on to, uh, social media.

00:11:13.900 I'm going to take a quick, uh, Twitter in particular.

00:11:16.520 Um, I'm going to take a quick break and then I want to come back and I want to tell you

00:11:20.140 the story, uh, from the, uh, the four presidents who have tried this before Politico has a great

00:11:27.780 article by Joshua Zeitz and, uh, he writes about these four presidents who have run.

00:11:35.420 Only one has won and they all have really good lessons in them.

00:11:41.500 Um, I'll share that with you coming up in just a second.

00:11:44.300 Cynthia wrote in about her dog's experience with rough green.

00:11:47.020 She says, I have two small breed dogs who have digestive issues.

00:11:50.880 I've tried numerous brands of food and I try to be selective in the type of treats that

00:11:55.460 they receive, but not much helps.

00:11:57.760 However, they just started using, uh, rough greens.

00:12:01.200 I started putting it in over their food and I observed much less tummy distress.

00:12:09.080 Are we talking about dog farts?

00:12:10.760 Cause they can be the worst.

00:12:13.660 They obviously love it because they look at me imploringly until I pull out the rough greens

00:12:19.040 bag.

00:12:19.440 Thank you.

00:12:19.900 Thank you.

00:12:20.420 Thank you so much for rough greens.

00:12:22.620 Well, Cynthia, as somebody who has had a dog fart problem, uh, you know, in the house

00:12:29.060 once in a while and have had to resort because big dogs, uh, to bandanas over our, our face

00:12:35.660 for a couple of days.

00:12:37.440 I understand it.

00:12:38.760 I understand it.

00:12:40.340 Rough greens.

00:12:41.200 I'm so glad that it's working for your dogs.

00:12:43.280 Rough greens.

00:12:43.960 They're so confident that your dog is going to love it.

00:12:46.440 They have a special deal for you.

00:12:47.720 Go to rough greens.com slash back.

00:12:49.980 They're going to give you your first bag free, free.

00:12:52.900 All you pay for is shipping.

00:12:54.100 Just go to rough greens.com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33.

00:12:58.480 That's eight, three, three G L E N N 33 10 seconds.

00:13:03.120 Station ID.

00:13:14.620 Okay.

00:13:15.180 Um, there are people that have made multiple, multiple attempts, multiple tries, uh, at the

00:13:23.020 presidency and have failed.

00:13:26.800 Then there's people like Joe Biden who has been running for president, I think since

00:13:32.100 1916, maybe.

00:13:36.160 Uh, it was, it was not the 1916 race, but he got into the 1916 for, for a later race.

00:13:42.700 So 1924.

00:13:43.700 Okay.

00:13:43.980 I think he was running for eight years for that one, which he then lost.

00:13:46.760 And then he plagiarized somebody else's speech.

00:13:48.940 Yeah.

00:13:49.700 But it was Calvin Coolidge.

00:13:51.040 Yeah.

00:13:51.360 And, uh, not a lot of people didn't have the internet then.

00:13:53.600 Anyway, um, Politico writes, whatever, whether Trump succeeds may depend on his own motivation

00:14:00.740 in running.

00:14:01.480 Will he do it for power out of boredom or regret, or simply to spite the naysayers, the wounded

00:14:09.320 president egos of the past might be a window into the mind of the most polarizing part of

00:14:13.760 politician of our time.

00:14:14.840 So they go into these four presidents and it's important to remember, we, is he going to do

00:14:22.560 it for power out of boredom, out of regret or spite.

00:14:27.620 So 1840 presidential bid with Martin Van Buren, um, he ran again in 1848.

00:14:36.040 He lost the election.

00:14:37.980 He was, um, I think he was Jackson's, uh, vice president.

00:14:42.320 And then, uh, he went on, um, after Jackson, Jackson said, you should be the president.

00:14:49.740 And he won, uh, the president.

00:14:51.560 And then he lost his reelection bid.

00:14:55.520 And it's interesting because, uh, he was not, he was a Democrat and he was clearly for slavery.

00:15:05.160 Um, and when he got into office in 1837, uh, there was a once in a lifetime, um, financial

00:15:16.100 panic and it triggered a really deep recession.

00:15:20.220 He was now wildly unpopular.

00:15:22.620 So he lost his bid.

00:15:24.040 And then in 1844, Van Buren attempted to come back, but a fear, listen to this, a fiercely

00:15:31.140 contested democratic convention instead nominated James Polk of Tennessee, an ardent expansionist

00:15:38.340 and proponent of slavery.

00:15:39.980 Remember, it's just the democratic party.

00:15:42.620 Many of Van Buren supporters would nurse a long grudge against Southern Democrats for

00:15:47.260 thwarting his comeback.

00:15:49.160 So he's going in and he loses the, uh, bid for the Democrats.

00:15:56.220 So he decides that he is going to go with his son who started a third party, the barn burners.

00:16:03.500 Um, he was indifferent about slavery and he didn't expect to win.

00:16:07.980 What he was trying to do was reorder the party.

00:16:11.800 He was trying to use his power to shift the party and still be the guy who's, you know, the power

00:16:20.860 player.

00:16:21.720 Um, he didn't, he didn't, he didn't win.

00:16:24.080 Uh, in fact, uh, the election went to Zachary Taylor because there was a third party.

00:16:29.660 And so the wigs took it and then we never heard from him again.

00:16:35.080 Not a lot of people were indifferent on slavery.

00:16:37.980 I feel like, I feel like that was like one you took a position on either way.

00:16:42.000 Yeah.

00:16:42.180 But I think that's kind of like, there's a lot of people with abortion.

00:16:44.980 Yeah, no, it's true.

00:16:45.720 You know, I don't know.

00:16:46.820 I don't know.

00:16:47.360 I don't, I don't think people will look back and be like, wait, you didn't take a position

00:16:50.400 on babies dying.

00:16:51.840 I don't, there's just no way.

00:16:53.860 They were chopping them up.

00:16:55.400 Uh, and you were fine with that.

00:16:57.080 It was like neutral.

00:16:57.800 Huh?

00:16:58.280 Hmm.

00:16:58.560 Okay.

00:16:58.840 A little Switzerland on that one, huh?

00:17:00.220 So Cleveland, Grover Cleveland is, uh, is the next one.

00:17:04.100 This is 1888.

00:17:05.300 He's already been president.

00:17:06.420 He's, uh, he's running for reelection, but he's kind of, you know, he doesn't really

00:17:13.160 care.

00:17:14.180 He was indifferent on his own presidency.

00:17:16.040 He was indifferent on his own presidency.

00:17:18.660 Uh, and so, uh, Benjamin Harrison, uh, one and this, this particular election is very

00:17:27.340 much like what we're facing now.

00:17:29.180 It was very, very close.

00:17:31.860 Um, and you, you know, you didn't have a lot of swing going one way or another.

00:17:36.740 So he retires and he goes to New York city and, uh, he plays cribbage with his friends.

00:17:42.020 He, he goes to the theater and he goes out to eat and then goes out to eat some more.

00:17:47.400 Uh, uh, he eventually, eventually weighs 300 pounds.

00:17:52.320 Oh yeah.

00:17:52.920 Uh, and then he would take fishing trips out to Cape Cod.

00:17:56.980 They'd have a hard time with the boat, but anyway, he then has his first child and he's

00:18:02.140 like, wow, I, I feel like I just started to live.

00:18:05.360 And so he goes and he tries to get nominated again.

00:18:09.940 Uh, he's nominated, but then he kind of loses interest again.

00:18:13.820 I guess if we just would have put food at the end, he would have, uh, uh, but, uh, he,

00:18:20.200 he did win, uh, but he won because of the tight electoral, uh, electoral map.

00:18:27.620 So during his, uh, then the next one is, um, Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt decides

00:18:34.820 he's only going to run two terms.

00:18:36.540 He really regrets that.

00:18:39.220 And, uh, he's like, uh, yeah.

00:18:42.780 Did I say, I don't think I said, what are you saying?

00:18:45.480 A lot of people get into power and they, they really regret that decision.

00:18:48.960 Don't they?

00:18:49.520 Right.

00:18:50.060 Uh, and so he comes back from a year in Africa, you know, just shooting animals.

00:18:56.980 What a bastard.

00:18:58.840 Uh, and he's upset that the conservative Republicans had taken back over.

00:19:05.360 They were like, yeah, I don't think this administrative state is really what we should be for.

00:19:10.980 And so he gets very upset about that and tries to reverse the tide to be a party of, you know,

00:19:17.440 more like Mitch McConnell.

00:19:19.060 And, uh, so the, the Republicans decide, no, we're against the administrative state.

00:19:26.980 So he decides to start his own party, bull moose party.

00:19:30.660 He loses, but again, he lets the progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson get in.

00:19:39.240 So what do we have here?

00:19:42.960 The last one is Hoover and Hoover was a big progressive, huge progressive.

00:19:52.600 You notice anything about these things?

00:19:55.560 Um, he fought to win the Republican nomination.

00:20:00.980 Um, uh, after he left office, he, he starts to come back and he wants to come back.

00:20:07.920 I don't know, 1940 and the, the Republicans this time decide they want an even more progressive

00:20:15.960 Republican.

00:20:16.940 And so they get, uh, Wendell Wilkie and, uh, neither one of them win.

00:20:24.260 So the lesson here is Martin Van Buren second run.

00:20:29.460 It was about regaining or retaining power, not just the power of the presidency, but the

00:20:36.220 lasting control of a movement and a party that renders Trump a defining force on the

00:20:41.180 world stage.

00:20:41.840 I personally think he already has that if he's like Grover Cleveland, Cleveland, and like

00:20:47.280 how many games of golf can I play?

00:20:49.160 And there's not enough all you can eat buffets because I don't want to wait 300 pounds.

00:20:54.220 Um, then it's his for the taking like 1892.

00:21:00.980 It probably, according to Politico has to do with regret.

00:21:05.040 We know from recent reporting that Trump and those in his orbit fault themselves for letting

00:21:09.560 the judiciary, civil service, and political class thwart many of their ambitions.

00:21:13.540 They relish a second crack at it.

00:21:16.080 And he might, you know, be a little upset.

00:21:20.720 So it might be a little spite, but he won't win if it's spite.

00:21:26.820 I personally think that it's none of these things because I've talked to him and in talking

00:21:33.920 to him, he said something that was off camera, but very, very humble, shockingly.

00:21:41.340 So, um, and very heartfelt when I talked to him, uh, he said, I can't believe what they're

00:21:49.140 doing to the country.

00:21:49.880 I can't, I mean, we had this, we had it fixed.

00:21:53.260 We were on the right track and they have just destroyed it in less than two years.

00:21:59.940 And he said, this is the part that I think this is why he's running.

00:22:05.600 I can't live with myself seeing all the millions of faces that I have talked to.

00:22:11.060 And I promised I would fix it and stand up for them after they stood up for me.

00:22:16.620 How am I going to sit down and watch the country burn to the ground when I know I can help them?

00:22:24.820 When he said last night, the most important line, this is not my campaign.

00:22:29.420 This is our campaign.

00:22:31.500 I think that's why he's running.

00:22:37.580 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:11.120 We're glad you have joined us today.

00:24:13.320 Thank you so much for listening.

00:24:15.540 There's a couple of things going on today that we want to tell you about.

00:24:19.360 Greg Abbott has declared an invasion at the southern border.

00:24:22.760 Thank you, Greg, for actually standing up.

00:24:25.100 This is the leadership from Texas I was expecting.

00:24:28.640 There's a couple of other things we got to get into the NBC reporter that has been suspended that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever,

00:24:40.060 unless you're looking at a country that no longer values the truth from their reporters.

00:24:48.820 This guy was covered with documents.

00:24:52.680 He asked the question.

00:24:54.280 It was a recorded piece.

00:24:56.840 So it went through editors and censors and everybody else before it got on the air.

00:25:02.860 Why has he been disappeared?

00:25:04.800 It sends a really frightening message and makes it more and more important that we have places and outlets like the Daily Wire or the Blaze.

00:25:16.160 I invite you, I want you to get the best value for your dollar.

00:25:21.100 So I want you to explore all of them.

00:25:23.840 I think you'll come back to the Blaze and see that what we offer is well worth your budget and well worth the, gosh, what is it, like $5 a month that you'd be paying.

00:25:39.060 We would invite you to join us tonight.

00:25:41.380 Now, this is not going to be on Blaze TV.

00:25:45.680 I don't know why exactly.

00:25:47.160 This won't be on Blaze TV's YouTube page.

00:25:50.260 This is going to be on my YouTube page.

00:25:52.460 And I think the speculation is that my page will reach more people because I think they have shut down the Blaze reach quite a bit more than they have mine.

00:26:06.720 So tonight, if you don't have a subscription, the Wednesday night special is on YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck.

00:26:16.120 Make sure you watch it.

00:26:18.000 Now, you're not going to be able to see all of it because the questions from the audience get a little dicey.

00:26:25.480 And we wanted to make sure that nothing was edited out.

00:26:30.580 So instead of running that and then risking losing our platform at YouTube, we've decided to edit that portion out and come to the Blaze and watch it on Blaze TV.

00:26:43.300 Blaze TV is offering the biggest discount we have ever offered.

00:26:49.740 It is so worth your time.

00:26:52.280 It is blazetv.com slash Glenn and use the promo code STANDUP and you'll get $30 off your year's subscription.

00:27:04.400 That's 30% off.

00:27:05.940 Now, I played this a couple of days ago, but we had such huge reaction.

00:27:11.900 But when you see this special tonight, this is only one of the cases that we're covering.

00:27:18.640 These are all people that are under attack from the government or from the policies that we are following now.

00:27:27.480 And one of the most important things is the right to your children.

00:27:32.280 Well, there's a guy who has been fighting his ex-wife now over his son that she claims is a daughter.

00:27:42.700 This kind of stuff is happening and can happen to you.

00:27:47.220 This is one of the more egregious cases, I think.

00:27:50.600 We cover it and then we have the experts talk to you about what do you do if you're in this situation.

00:27:57.900 This is the story from Jeff Younger about he and his two sons.

00:28:02.400 That moment, the doctor places your newborn into your arms.

00:28:09.820 Your entire world changes.

00:28:12.860 I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe.

00:28:15.940 I'll fight for you every single day.

00:28:19.140 For Jeff, that moment arrived times two when his twin boys, James and Jude, were born.

00:28:27.880 And from the start, Jeff loved being a dad.

00:28:32.280 I was the stay-at-home parent for them.

00:28:34.680 I've raised them since they were the youngest children.

00:28:37.460 And we were very close and had a super tight bond right up until the courts took them away from me.

00:28:45.660 Everything changed when the boys were two years old.

00:28:49.600 Jeff's then-wife began telling James that timeouts were only for little boys.

00:28:55.560 And that...

00:28:56.340 The monsters only eat boys.

00:28:58.020 You better not be a boy.

00:29:00.560 Scaring him in these little timeouts.

00:29:03.140 And when I put my foot down and stopped that, she filed for a divorce almost immediately.

00:29:07.900 She's a pediatrician.

00:29:09.820 And using her connections with licensed care providers, she was able to get psychologists to basically force me out of my house.

00:29:16.920 And that's when the situation escalated again.

00:29:20.100 Jeff, who then still had 50-50 custody, took this video of James when he was only three years old.

00:29:27.560 You're a boy, right?

00:29:28.960 No.

00:29:30.020 I'm a girl.

00:29:31.580 Who told you you're a girl?

00:29:33.120 Mommy.

00:29:33.600 She puts dresses on you?

00:29:46.940 Oh, wow.

00:29:48.420 And what else does she do?

00:29:51.820 She buys my hat bands.

00:29:53.980 Uh-huh.

00:29:54.400 And she gave me hair clips.

00:30:00.620 Oh, hair clips?

00:30:01.500 Okay.

00:30:02.080 She enrolled him in school as a girl under a fake girl's name.

00:30:05.780 She started to claim that I couldn't cut my son's hair and that I couldn't use male pronouns.

00:30:11.480 And she went to court to try to force me to use male pronouns at home to stop presenting him to the world as a boy.

00:30:20.160 This evening, there's a decision to share in a volatile custody case involving a seven-year-old's gender.

00:30:25.420 This case has taken on a life of its own.

00:30:28.780 The central question being, should a seven-year-old live as a boy or as a girl?

00:30:33.420 The custody battles continued, but Jeff's ex-wife used her connections with psychologists to force her hand.

00:30:40.860 His 50-50 custody soon became every other weekend only.

00:30:46.120 This hurt the relationship between me and my sons tremendously.

00:30:49.680 And my sons were very sad about it and cried about it all the time.

00:30:54.540 So James, now 10, has lived his short life in a whirlwind of confusion.

00:31:01.200 So there was a time when every authority figure in my son's life except me was telling him he was a girl.

00:31:09.080 His teacher at school, the principal, the police officer at school, the librarian was telling him he was a girl, the lunch lady was telling him he was a girl.

00:31:16.420 His brother, although he didn't want to, was forced to use his girl's name.

00:31:21.400 But there's one part of James' story that makes it even more tragic.

00:31:25.540 And here's the important thing to know about my case.

00:31:27.360 James, my son has never presented as a girl to me.

00:31:30.480 He only presents as a girl when he's with his mother.

00:31:33.520 So my approach was just very simple, to show my son how great it is to be a man.

00:31:40.960 So we just did all the things that I did as a boy.

00:31:44.140 We hunted rabbits.

00:31:45.520 We tracked animals.

00:31:47.200 We did hikes.

00:31:48.740 We didn't need to worry about.

00:31:50.560 We were able to tough everything out.

00:31:53.480 And my son flourished under these conditions.

00:31:56.620 On the weekends, Jeff shared with his sons his love for boxing.

00:32:00.820 You know, he didn't think he could make it through those first workouts, you know.

00:32:03.900 And he saw that we could tough it out together.

00:32:06.820 We would get down there and do our one hour of floor work, working on our abs, working on our core.

00:32:12.160 And we could do all that together.

00:32:13.560 In a boxing gym, everybody that does the work gets respect.

00:32:19.200 And they enjoyed that.

00:32:20.360 They were treated like young men.

00:32:21.920 Their time together shaped James immensely.

00:32:25.560 Became to understand themselves as in command of their world.

00:32:29.400 Able to make changes in their world.

00:32:34.040 And this eventually culminated in my son refusing to wear a dress at his mother's home.

00:32:40.300 Because he likes being a man.

00:32:41.860 And he told the court-appointed counselor that he wanted to be a boy and wanted to go to school as a boy.

00:32:49.260 The court-ordered counselor, she said, well, this child is saying he wants to be a boy.

00:32:53.780 That must be because the father's making him say that.

00:32:57.280 And on that basis, she recommended that the court take the children away from him.

00:33:01.160 Because my son has to be a boy.

00:33:02.540 The boy's mother moved them to California.

00:33:09.380 And Jeff says she's already beginning a full transformation for James.

00:33:14.420 He last saw them over a year ago.

00:33:17.380 But Jeff's battle is far from over.

00:33:19.080 In fact, quite the opposite is true.

00:33:21.240 But I assure you, I will not stop fighting for my son under any conditions.

00:33:26.080 We say, save James, save thousands of children so we don't forget those other children.

00:33:32.080 He's fighting for more than just his son.

00:33:35.600 He's fighting for James.

00:33:37.220 But also for all the other kids whose parents just won't speak up.

00:33:44.400 And in my daily prayers, I always remember the other children and their parents who either can't or won't fight for them.

00:33:53.760 Save James.

00:33:58.220 Save thousands.

00:33:59.660 So tonight, you will see this and you will hear from the dad who we recorded this on Saturday night with a live studio audience.

00:34:09.500 And when he started to speak, he said something right off the beginning that was, I mean, powerful, really powerful.

00:34:19.300 He got a standing ovation after he said this.

00:34:23.480 He works three jobs to be able to afford the lawsuits.

00:34:27.300 He is he's it's an incredible story, an incredible story.

00:34:33.480 You don't want to miss.

00:34:34.840 This is just one of the four.

00:34:37.020 And the special tonight is called Targets of Tyranny.

00:34:42.160 This is all about what do you do when the government comes for your kids or the police try to seize your property or your money or the feds show up your door or the ATF comes and says, we just want to take a look at your guns.

00:34:57.300 This is really an important special.

00:35:01.340 It is commercial free and you can watch about 80 percent of it live on YouTube dot com slash Glenn Beck.

00:35:29.460 Some people I saw a couple of comments, people saying, well, this is if this information is so important, why why are you charging people for it?

00:35:37.500 And it's well, well, first of all, you're you're not.

00:35:39.380 But second of all, shouldn't you be because we spent a lot of money on this?

00:35:43.540 Shouldn't you put it behind like the paywall for subscribers?

00:35:47.680 I mean, I mean, I don't want to do is do is do is the common sense capitalist and I appreciate that.

00:35:56.400 However, the the discussion has been over and over on these really important specials.

00:36:02.040 We hope that enough people will subscribe to pay for them so we can continue to do them.

00:36:10.020 But I just I did this one has to be seen.

00:38:56.600 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:12.220 So, uh, the G20, the big gala was happening, uh, last night and, uh, and Joe Biden said he needed to attend a few items.

00:39:25.280 Uh, and so he couldn't attend.

00:39:27.900 So, wait, he flies all the way on the other side of the world and then doesn't go to the gala, the G20?

00:39:34.860 Uh, I don't think he had anything to do except sleep.

00:39:38.920 I think that's probably what he was doing.

00:39:41.060 He is really sliding into the abyss fast.

00:39:45.180 However, yesterday it was Joe Biden that said, yeah, I don't think these were Russian missiles that hit, um, Poland.

00:39:53.860 They've been confirmed now that they are Ukrainian missiles, probably our missiles, uh, that were misfired and they hit Poland aiming for Russia.

00:40:04.780 You, uh, what do you, what do you believe on this?

00:40:07.800 I believe that you do.

00:40:09.480 Yeah, I do.

00:40:10.060 So, yeah, uh, because I, I, it would be nice if like, cause everyone was saying, well, well, they want to get into World War III.

00:40:17.280 Well, I mean, this would have been an opportunity if they wanted to say these are Russian.

00:40:20.480 Sure.

00:40:20.900 Well, they were.

00:40:21.940 Did you see how many people were like, that's Russian?

00:40:25.080 Ukrainians were saying, there was some, Zelensky basically said it.

00:40:27.840 Yeah, but I mean, Zelensky was either lied to or he is lying.

00:40:31.120 Right.

00:40:31.680 But I mean, I think there's the other side of this too that could be that like, maybe some cooler heads are prevailing here.

00:40:37.220 Yeah.

00:40:37.540 No, that's good.

00:40:38.580 I mean, I really don't want World War III.

00:40:41.020 No, neither do I.

00:40:42.060 I'm anti-World War III.

00:40:44.160 That's just a stance I have.

00:40:45.400 And some people will disagree.

00:40:47.020 It's, look, I don't want to take brave stances like this every day.

00:40:50.100 It just, it puts me in a very difficult position.

00:40:53.140 You know, you're anti-nuclear missile.

00:40:55.340 I am anti, well, getting hit with them.

00:40:57.200 Yeah.

00:40:57.560 I don't want to get hit with them.

00:40:58.600 Yeah.

00:40:58.760 You're not against having them.

00:41:00.220 No, I like having them.

00:41:01.140 Yeah.

00:41:01.380 I don't want to get hit with them if I can help it.

00:41:03.520 What a controversial statement.

00:41:04.140 Look, I, I'm the type of person who's going to stand up and.

00:41:06.840 You're out on the limb.

00:41:07.280 You hear the song?

00:41:08.200 Stand up.

00:41:08.880 Yeah.

00:43:12.160 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:43:17.340 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.

00:43:23.760 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:28.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:35.680 Hello, America.

00:43:37.100 Well, there is a fight now for the soul of the Republican Party.

00:43:41.720 And the choice is, are we going to stay with the same old, same old?

00:43:46.680 And we're going to go down the same path that Donald Trump had when he was president and said,

00:43:52.160 I can't do anything with this Republican Congress or this Republican Senate.

00:43:58.000 Why?

00:43:59.120 Because they were controlled by Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell.

00:44:03.080 Now, the House Republicans nominated Kevin McCarthy.

00:44:08.280 He is the minority leader now, but he's going to be the candidate for Speaker of the House.

00:44:13.400 The thing is, they have to have an election.

00:44:20.920 And unfortunately, the election requires that he have 218 votes.

00:44:29.100 That's like a Saddam Hussein kind of ballot win.

00:44:33.800 How anybody is going to get that is beyond me.

00:44:37.580 But there is one congressman that is throwing his hat into the ring.

00:44:42.100 His name is Andy Biggs.

00:44:44.240 And he's with us in just a minute to talk about the underground House leadership race

00:44:49.480 that is brewing within the GOP.

00:44:52.600 This is good news.

00:44:54.480 We go there in 60 seconds.

00:44:56.080 It's not enough to assume that your kids and grandkids are going to learn everything

00:45:01.100 they need to know about this country merely through osmosis.

00:45:04.800 Boy, I have learned that lesson.

00:45:07.580 You have to teach it.

00:45:10.420 They're going to learn everything they need to know about in schools.

00:45:15.080 No.

00:45:16.540 If anything, they're probably learning a lot of things in schools that are inaccurate at best.

00:45:21.600 A revision of history at middle best.

00:45:27.300 And out and out lies.

00:45:30.320 Knowable lies at worst.

00:45:33.100 Somebody has got to make sure that your children have a solid foundation upon which they build their lives.

00:45:38.280 And the answer is that you are the one that can teach them about freedom and must.

00:45:43.380 You are the last line of defense between them and tyranny.

00:45:47.880 And you've got to educate them.

00:45:49.820 It's not easy.

00:45:51.360 But that's why the Tuttle Twins books are so important.

00:45:54.060 They're simple.

00:46:25.400 Andy Biggs was first elected to serve the people of Arizona's 5th District in 2016.

00:46:31.020 He currently serves on the House Oversight and Reform Committee and the House Judiciary Committee,

00:46:37.400 where he is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

00:46:43.340 He also served as the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.

00:46:47.620 He is current co-chair of Border Security Caucus, vice chair of the Congressional Western Caucus,

00:46:53.140 and co-founder of the Bipartisan War Powers Caucus.

00:46:56.980 We have a lot to talk about with Andy Biggs, who is running for House leadership.

00:47:04.440 Andy, welcome to the program.

00:47:06.340 Glenn, good to be with you.

00:47:07.580 Thanks for having me.

00:47:08.360 It is great to have you.

00:47:10.620 Where do we even start?

00:47:12.440 What is your path or anybody's path to the Speaker of the House when you have to get 218 votes?

00:47:21.880 Well, you know, in a thin majority like we're going to have, it may be as big as five seats, might be as few as three.

00:47:31.160 It's a tough path for anybody.

00:47:34.820 I think Kevin's kind of polarizing.

00:47:37.240 I don't know that most of my colleagues would think that, but 36 people voted against him yesterday,

00:47:43.160 which means he's got a lot of meat on the bone, right?

00:47:47.620 And then I'm apparently polarizing as well.

00:47:51.840 But the point was, somebody had to stand up and say, look, no more change of status quo.

00:47:58.800 So what's going to happen is there's going to be a lot of internal family discussion, if I can put it that way, between now and January 3rd.

00:48:08.660 And I suspect if it's not me and it's not Kevin, you'll get basically a consensus candidate that will come out where people will say,

00:48:17.680 better this guy or this lady than Biggs or McCarthy.

00:48:22.780 So how is this going to help us shape the party into a more vigorous do-something party, before-something party?

00:48:32.620 Well, that is my goal, and that's one of my reasons that I felt I had to stand up against Kevin,

00:48:40.140 because I think this internal discussion will help invigorate whoever's coming in to understand you're going to have to fight.

00:48:51.540 You're going to have to use all the tools, all the leverage points to stop Biden and also keep the promises we made to the American people.

00:49:00.400 And so I reached out and talked to some of my more liberal Republican friends, and they want to come to the table, too.

00:49:08.620 And we will find things that, believe it or not, that we agree on.

00:49:12.580 Believe it or not, virtually every member of this conference, except for some squishy middle people, on both ends, we want a border wall.

00:49:21.540 On both ends, we want to fix Title IX so you can go after the men in locker room thing.

00:49:28.600 On both ends, we want to fix this place so we can at least offer an appropriations process to start bringing down spending to get our budget in balance.

00:49:40.120 You know, you have some right in the squishy middle that just want to not really do anything, and I think we're going to invigorate them that way, Glenn.

00:49:47.900 Well, I will tell you, doing nothing was Mitch McConnell's.

00:49:51.220 Well, actually, he did more than nothing.

00:49:53.120 He actually ran campaign ads and spent money against Republicans.

00:50:00.520 But, you know, doing nothing and we just can't be the Democrats, that doesn't work.

00:50:06.800 That doesn't work.

00:50:08.100 We need a fresh vision for America.

00:50:11.480 Yeah, I agree.

00:50:13.560 And, you know, Glenn, I'm a big believer that when the other side views you as political enemies, which they do,

00:50:21.560 and then we have to treat them and use the same tools they've used against us.

00:50:27.060 Why in the world would Kevin back down from impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas,

00:50:32.140 who in my mind has committed multiple high crimes and misdemeanors

00:50:35.480 and has made this country a far less safe country than it should be and is attacking our very sovereignty?

00:50:42.000 And he did.

00:50:42.780 He backed off of that.

00:50:43.860 Well, as soon as he did that, I said, well, I've got to step in.

00:50:47.220 Somebody's got to step in because we cannot go any longer down that path.

00:50:52.640 And right now, Glenn, I'll tell you, I know that there's probably around 10, 15 people

00:50:57.760 who've indicated they will never support Mr. McCarthy.

00:51:01.220 And that means that we have to find somebody else who will fight the fight.

00:51:06.960 Okay, so what should the Republican agenda be in Congress?

00:51:11.460 What are some of the ideas that you and your friends are kicking around that you're like,

00:51:15.900 this is the top 10.

00:51:18.260 Got to do this.

00:51:20.200 Yeah, you have to fix the appropriations process to slow the inflation fueling government that we have.

00:51:26.960 Hang on just a sec.

00:51:28.140 Let me explain that to the best of my ability.

00:51:32.220 We have to have a budget.

00:51:34.260 And then it goes to appropriations.

00:51:36.120 And they say, you get this amount.

00:51:38.560 This department gets this amount, et cetera, et cetera.

00:51:40.940 Right now, with a continuing resolution, we don't get any of that.

00:51:46.500 We haven't since 2008.

00:51:48.380 What makes you think you can get it to appropriations to be able to start carving this money out?

00:51:54.540 You just, you have to enforce it.

00:51:57.880 You have to lead and say, we expect you to get this done.

00:52:00.900 And there are ways to do it like you could.

00:52:03.040 If you really wanted to streamline it, you would say every authorizing committee,

00:52:06.660 in other words, every committee.

00:52:07.700 So if you're on judiciary, you'd say, you're going to have the appropriations line items within a subcommittee

00:52:14.020 on that committee, working with the appropriations committee, and you're going to get this thing done by March, March 31st.

00:52:20.260 And then we go through and we negotiate that out.

00:52:24.100 And you start working on a line-by-line budget, a line-item budget, true line-item budget, a zero-based budget.

00:52:31.920 And that's, you can do that.

00:52:34.260 But as long as we basically mess around and not do that, I think Kay Granger, who is the appropriations chair,

00:52:44.720 I think she's frustrated beyond belief.

00:52:46.420 I think the budget committee guys are frustrated.

00:52:48.460 You can get this done with great leadership.

00:52:53.160 Can you get it through the Senate?

00:52:56.480 Once it gets through the Senate, who knows?

00:52:59.720 Because you've got the Democrats going to be in control of the Senate again, and they're going to blow everything up.

00:53:04.260 That's just...

00:53:05.280 Right.

00:53:05.560 Well, it's important to at least try.

00:53:07.400 Okay, so appropriations, next.

00:53:09.960 Next, border fence and border security.

00:53:13.560 You can get all of those types of things through here.

00:53:16.600 And part of it is you do it through the appropriations process, by the way.

00:53:19.940 But you build a border fence.

00:53:21.740 It's a standalone build.

00:53:23.100 Don't put it in this big conglomeration of immigration crap that some people like, this part.

00:53:30.500 Do it straight up.

00:53:32.500 Transparency.

00:53:32.980 So that's another aspect that we do to change the way we operate.

00:53:37.540 And we do a lot more standalone, single budget bill, you know, single item bills.

00:53:43.640 That's the way it should be.

00:53:44.840 Yeah, that's the way it should be.

00:53:46.000 So everybody can see what's in there.

00:53:47.880 You do the Title IX thing.

00:53:49.960 You do the...

00:53:50.800 Bring back the Keystone Pipeline.

00:53:52.680 You do that as leverage with a must-pass bill.

00:53:55.800 In the NDAA bill, you leverage that bill to get rid of VAX mandates and bring back these men and women who we spent millions of dollars training.

00:54:05.900 And they love this country.

00:54:07.600 They're loyal to this country.

00:54:08.500 You bring them back.

00:54:09.700 You can do all of those things with our normal process if you've got the leadership.

00:54:19.100 You streamline through your budgetary process, again, things like permitting exploration, development, extraction of American oil and gas.

00:54:28.560 How about water?

00:54:30.200 For the last two years, there's been no hearing, maybe the last four years, no hearings on water, which in the Western United States is in a crisis level.

00:54:39.800 So you bring that back.

00:54:41.140 I mean, these are things we can do when you unite, I don't know, the Tuesday group problem solvers together with the Freedom Caucus.

00:54:52.840 And that is what leadership would look like.

00:54:56.280 So tell me at the same time, because what I, if, you know, if I had a voice and I was king of the Congress, I would say, you pass everything as fast as you possibly can.

00:55:08.740 You go in there with an agenda, you have everything all done, you work on it starting now, late at night, you introduce it, you pass it, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, come what may.

00:55:19.400 If it doesn't go past the Senate, fine, but at least we've done our job.

00:55:23.580 And then investigate and finish this with Hunter Biden, finish this with COVID, we don't even know where it came from.

00:55:38.640 That's bullcrap.

00:55:40.180 Yeah.

00:55:40.640 Are we going to investigate these people?

00:55:42.680 I'm told we are.

00:55:44.840 I'm on, I'm on the two committees that do the investigations.

00:55:47.280 We've already had, we've been actually meeting for a month and a half or two, talking about preservation letters.

00:55:55.120 We've sent out preservation letters.

00:55:56.620 We've done all the preliminary work to be ready to go.

00:56:00.180 Judiciary did a thousand page report on the politicization of the FBI and DOJ.

00:56:09.360 All of those have to be done, but, you know, if we think we're going to just take off between now and then, which we're going to because that's the way Congress works, that's a problem.

00:56:26.140 We should be doing everything I'm talking about when you're talking about now.

00:56:30.200 Right now.

00:56:30.960 Right now.

00:56:31.440 Right now.

00:56:31.900 You know, look, Orson Welles is a, is a hero of mine.

00:56:36.360 Um, he stopped me a lot of things from his life to do and not to do.

00:56:41.700 One of the best stories of Orson Welles is he had a contract with RKO and it was this enormous contract.

00:56:50.180 He was bluffing.

00:56:51.140 He had no idea what movie he was going to make.

00:56:53.340 Um, and he goes in and RKO has no access to him, his actors, the script, nothing.

00:57:02.520 And once they've signed it, RKO wants to get onto that set and they want control of the movie, whatever movie he's making, which turns out to be Citizen Kane.

00:57:11.360 Right.

00:57:11.840 He knew that if he failed, and this is the way you should look at the American people, he knew if he ran behind schedule for one minute, RKO would come in and supervise everything.

00:57:26.620 So he took his people, like right now, he took his people for a week or two weeks prior to them ever getting on the set, cameramen, everybody.

00:57:37.780 And he invited them to his house and said, let's mock film these scenes.

00:57:43.000 So the first day, RKO was there and they were waiting for him to fail and get behind because he's never made a movie before.

00:57:50.000 They had somebody standing at the door so when the bell rang at the end of the day, they could get a sheet and see how far they were.

00:57:58.400 When the guy came back to Selznick and said, and Selznick looked at him and said, am I on the set yet?

00:58:06.100 Have you gotten me on the set?

00:58:07.240 How far behind are they?

00:58:08.860 He said, I'm sorry, sir, but he's five days ahead.

00:58:14.840 That's what you guys need to do.

00:58:17.160 You need to work right now.

00:58:20.000 Right now.

00:58:20.820 We may not have another Christmas or Thanksgiving a couple of years from now if you guys won't work through Thanksgiving and Christmas.

00:58:28.500 I agree with you 100%.

00:58:30.580 Look, I would just tell you, this is important for everybody to understand.

00:58:38.080 Congress will only work for eight to ten months in this next year.

00:58:44.200 And I say that, and it's one of the biggest flaws of Congress.

00:58:49.120 Congress, because you're moving it to a presidential election, presidential cycle, and the House of Representatives is in a two-year election cycle.

00:58:58.780 We will, whatever we don't get done in August or September of next year, there will be hardly anything that happens the following year.

00:59:06.700 Oh, jeez, you guys better.

00:59:08.480 I'm telling you, Andy, this is it.

00:59:10.620 The American people are done with you guys.

00:59:12.540 They're done with Republicans.

00:59:13.620 Absolutely.

00:59:14.280 Done.

00:59:15.400 Well, and they have every right to be.

00:59:17.460 And if we don't get something meaningful done and move the ball forward, let's say, because we're dealing with demographic majorities in the Senate and the presidency,

00:59:27.280 let's say we can't get all of our stuff done.

00:59:30.360 We should at least get our bills done, not performance art.

00:59:34.560 Glenn, it just cannot be performance.

00:59:36.540 It has to be substantive.

00:59:38.020 Correct.

00:59:38.360 And we have got to move the ball forward, or otherwise we will fail to lay down the foundation for 2024.

00:59:48.060 And if we fail to lay the foundation down, we'll lose 2024, which means we will lose this country irrevocably.

00:59:55.640 Andy, I appreciate it.

00:59:57.540 God bless.

00:59:58.320 I'd love to have you back on again.

00:59:59.620 Glenn, and I thank you for the trouble that you are probably in with all of the, you know.

01:00:06.860 I'm in a bit of a hot soup there, Glenn.

01:00:09.640 Yeah, and I'm glad that you are.

01:00:11.220 Thank you so much, Andy, for doing the hard work.

01:00:13.540 Thank you.

01:00:14.080 God bless.

01:00:14.880 Thanks, Glenn.

01:00:15.540 Congressman from Arizona, Andy Biggs.

01:00:18.080 He is talking to us about who is going to be the next Speaker of the House.

01:00:23.300 And hopefully it will not be Kevin McCarthy.

01:00:26.580 And they're voting right now, I believe, maybe at 930 or 1030 Eastern Time.

01:00:33.220 They are voting for Mitch McConnell.

01:00:37.120 Are they going to delay the vote or have the vote today?

01:00:40.820 If they have the vote today, most likely Mitch McConnell will win.

01:00:44.360 If they delay it, they'll have time to get people riled up.

01:00:48.500 I hear it was quite the mess in the Senate yesterday.

01:00:53.000 And Rick Scott said he was going to run, right?

01:00:55.100 Yes.

01:00:55.520 I mean, that's funny because, you know, we were talking about that a few weeks ago and I hadn't heard it anywhere.

01:01:01.400 And now it looks like he's actually going to do it.

01:01:03.500 More in just a second.

01:01:04.500 First, my pillow.

01:01:05.660 If someone offered you a key to the perfect night's sleep from now on, would you pay 30 bucks for it?

01:01:10.800 I mean, we're talking sweet, sweet, beautiful, restful sleep every night.

01:01:14.620 Comfort beyond comfort.

01:01:15.860 I'm talking about laying your head down at the end of the day and immediately drifting off to the land of nod.

01:01:23.000 To awake hours later, feeling refreshed and ready to go.

01:01:28.320 Yes, that's my pillow experience.

01:02:26.420 10 seconds, station ID.

01:02:27.640 Okay, so who called the House for the Republicans yesterday?

01:02:40.840 Was it DDHQ?

01:02:42.860 Okay.

01:02:43.320 Decision Desk.

01:02:44.280 They do a really good job and they're earlier than some of the other places.

01:02:49.260 I have not seen like the New York Times or CNN or any of them call it yet.

01:02:52.300 Of course not.

01:02:52.800 If DDHQ calls the House, it's going to happen.

01:02:56.200 They're still walking around going, where did I leave those other ballots?

01:03:00.260 So are you comfortable that we have the House?

01:03:03.540 I think I am now.

01:03:04.520 I was not comfortable up until really this weekend.

01:03:08.560 I started becoming more comfortable this weekend.

01:03:10.920 Monday, I was still pretty nervous.

01:03:13.240 I talked, you know, as much as I still thought they were the overwhelming favorites.

01:03:17.940 But like when you see a path to losing the House too, you see a path to utter catastrophe.

01:03:24.520 I mean, this election was not going to live up to what we hoped it would be.

01:03:29.960 But this is an important piece and we shouldn't dismiss it.

01:03:35.420 The fact that the Democrats are coming out bragging about losing is really remarkable.

01:03:40.940 Remember, in the summer, everyone was saying they were going to maybe win the House and easily win the Senate, maybe pick up two or three seats.

01:03:48.260 I mean, so, yes, it didn't go as far as we had hoped it would go the other direction, but it came back considerably from what people were predicting in the summer.

01:03:56.980 And the fact that they're bragging about that shows how pathetic they are.

01:03:59.620 And we thought we were going to lose the House there for a while, so I'm glad we have it.

01:04:03.220 And they better damn well use it.

01:04:07.380 Use it.

01:04:09.280 Appropriations.

01:04:10.420 Use them.

01:04:11.780 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:13.040 Linda writes in about her dog's experience with Rough Green.

01:04:16.780 She said, Lucy just had her 11th birthday in September, and since trying Rough Greens, she now waits impatiently for her meals.

01:04:24.280 She initiates playing with her Frisbee, something she hadn't done in years, and she's my walking partner again.

01:04:32.780 It's like Rough Greens turns the clock back for so many dogs.

01:04:37.920 Uno is one of them.

01:04:39.120 Linda, thank you so much for having your dog try out Rough Greens.

01:04:41.420 I'm glad she's doing really well with it.

01:04:43.400 It's not a dog food.

01:04:44.580 This is a supplement developed by a naturopathic doctor, Dennis Black, that you sprinkle on the dog's food, and it has everything.

01:04:51.120 It has vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.

01:04:53.980 You name it.

01:04:54.580 It's healthy for your dog, and I think there might be a little dog crack in it, too.

01:04:58.420 I don't know, but the dogs love it.

01:05:01.640 At least all the dogs in my life and my friends' dogs, they love it.

01:05:05.500 Folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

01:06:32.080 And tonight, we have the targets of tyranny.

01:06:36.700 We have four groups of people, four families that have been targeted for one reason or another.

01:06:42.740 Then we have Mike Lee, who is there for the Constitution, what part of the Constitution is being violated here.

01:06:50.440 And then the experts talk to those people to get a little more information and, you know, offer some advice where they can.

01:06:58.800 The real thing for you, there's two parts of this that I think are really important.

01:07:03.560 The first part is to shake you awake.

01:07:06.740 You need to start thinking differently.

01:07:09.540 You are no longer part of the crowd that is in charge of things.

01:07:17.680 And the DOJ and our legal system is being perverted to do the kinds of things that we thought we stopped in the 1960s.

01:07:29.860 But now you're the target.

01:07:31.720 And you have to think differently.

01:07:33.720 The second part of this, the second really important part, is the audience questions.

01:07:38.240 We filmed this in front of a live studio audience on Saturday, and their questions are really good.

01:07:44.460 Now, you can get 80% of it for free.

01:07:47.460 I want the message out, 80% of it free, at youtube.com slash glennbeck.

01:07:54.640 Make sure you go to my page tonight, youtube.com slash glennbeck.

01:07:59.580 Watch it there for free.

01:08:01.340 You won't get the audience part.

01:08:02.900 That's just because it's all over the board.

01:08:05.240 They're asking questions about all of it and not real comfortable with being able to retain our YouTube channel.

01:08:12.520 So that part is going to be behind the paywall with the rest of it.

01:08:16.560 So if you are a subscriber, you'll see all of it commercial free tonight at nine.

01:08:21.420 Some of these stories are legitimately unbelievable.

01:08:24.140 Terrifying.

01:08:24.660 And we said halfway through, he leans over and covers his mic.

01:08:28.300 And he said, this is the most terrifying thing I think I've ever seen.

01:08:32.700 And I'm like, I know.

01:08:33.880 Keep watching.

01:08:34.640 They really seem like stories that could not occur in America.

01:08:38.880 You know?

01:08:39.620 And it's funny, you know, because we throw the word unbelievable around a lot in that, you know, Joe Biden stumbles over something.

01:08:45.620 This guy's unbelievable.

01:08:46.700 And that is very believable, right?

01:08:48.280 And that he's incompetent and an idiot.

01:08:51.220 But, like, the fact that these things can happen.

01:08:53.920 And some of the people that they've happened to that are on the show tonight, they're not conservatives.

01:08:57.580 They weren't, like, out there, like, you know, worried about constitutional rights their whole lives.

01:09:03.180 You know, these are people who are just normal people.

01:09:05.760 Two of them.

01:09:06.660 One was completely apolitical.

01:09:09.140 And the other one was a bundler for Barack Obama.

01:09:12.200 Yeah.

01:09:12.600 Not so much anymore.

01:09:13.900 No.

01:09:14.040 But they woke up and they were like, wait a minute.

01:09:18.060 What is happening?

01:09:20.120 It is truly terrifying.

01:09:22.300 And it will happen to you if you aren't thinking differently and you don't know what to do when a cop comes to your door or ATF comes to your door.

01:09:33.800 FBI comes to your door.

01:09:35.640 What do you do?

01:09:36.620 And what do you not do?

01:09:39.300 There is a really, really big consensus on what not to do.

01:09:46.320 And that is so important tonight at 9 o'clock.

01:09:49.640 This is why the blaze is so important.

01:09:53.100 Let me give you four stories here if I have time.

01:09:56.780 Who told you this?

01:09:59.140 Who told you this?

01:10:00.220 Citigroup Inc., HSBC Holdings, MasterCard, and Wells Fargo are among now the financial companies that, as of yesterday, are participating in the experiment along with the New York Fed's Innovation Center.

01:10:18.640 The project, called the Regulated Liability Network, is conducting in a test environment to roll out a digital dollar.

01:10:35.540 This is a pilot program.

01:10:37.520 We told you this was coming how many years ago?

01:10:41.080 Everyone denied it.

01:10:42.540 Every single member of the press has been denying this.

01:10:45.940 They've been saying it's a conspiracy theory.

01:10:48.640 All of this.

01:10:49.880 We told you years ago that this was coming.

01:10:53.480 Now they started, as of yesterday, their 12-week digital dollar pilot.

01:10:59.100 What does that mean?

01:11:00.500 Don't go to MSNBC because they're not going to tell you.

01:11:03.920 Don't go to anybody.

01:11:05.600 You can go to our archives at The Blaze TV and find out exactly what that means to your dollar if you don't already know.

01:11:12.460 Let me give you this one.

01:11:13.540 Congressmen, Congress were questioning Christopher Wray.

01:11:20.680 And Wray was testifying in front of the House Homeland Security Committee.

01:11:24.880 And during the hearing, Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins questioned on the extent of FBI involvement in the January 6th riot.

01:11:36.420 He said, did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6th protesters on January 6th, 2021?

01:11:45.900 Well, Wray said, I've got to be very careful.

01:11:49.960 We don't talk about what we do and do not do.

01:11:53.760 And you've got to stop listening to the suggestion that the FBI's confidential human sources or FBI employees some way or another instigated or orchestrated this January 6th.

01:12:04.680 That's not what he asked.

01:12:05.760 He asked, did you have people in the Capitol dressed as Trump supporters prior to the the riot?

01:12:15.460 Yes or no?

01:12:17.240 He didn't answer.

01:12:18.760 Is anyone following up?

01:12:20.580 I can guarantee you the blazes.

01:12:22.860 Let me give you this.

01:12:24.480 Please cut 10.

01:12:26.600 This is a Bloomberg forum.

01:12:29.820 Now, when you're talking about finances, Bloomberg, right?

01:12:35.040 Bloomberg forum.

01:12:36.400 Ken Griffin.

01:12:37.420 He is the founder and CEO of Citadel.

01:12:40.960 He's talking about the FTX balance sheet and how bad this scandal really is.

01:12:50.580 I want you to listen to what he says.

01:12:52.100 And then he has a pause.

01:12:55.060 And I want you to listen to the Bloomberg, quote, reporter.

01:12:59.900 Listen to this.

01:13:01.000 That all of us are worried about.

01:13:02.920 You know, on the balance sheet of FTX is a line called Trump lose.

01:13:08.200 And Sam was the second biggest donor to Democratic candidates.

01:13:15.300 Nothing.

01:13:16.040 I'm going to leave it to everybody else to draw their own conclusions about what you're saying here.

01:13:21.060 Right.

01:13:21.580 Those are really, really ugly facts when you see a fraud of this.

01:13:25.800 Can we stop?

01:13:26.340 So weird.

01:13:27.140 Why would you let everybody else?

01:13:29.160 This is important.

01:13:31.280 Why would you let everyone else come to their own conclusions?

01:13:35.540 We didn't do that.

01:13:36.620 I have a special tonight as well.

01:13:39.080 It's an extra podcast that you can get right now at the blaze.

01:13:44.700 It's 164, the story behind the FTX scandal with Marty Bent.

01:13:51.620 And so we go into that.

01:13:53.140 I'm going to go into it again next hour.

01:13:56.120 This is a really big deal.

01:13:57.880 Now, why?

01:13:59.440 Wait.

01:14:00.080 Wait.

01:14:00.580 I can't get an answer in front of Congress.

01:14:03.100 Bloomberg has a reporter.

01:14:04.480 Well, I'm just going to let you decide what that means.

01:14:07.320 Why?

01:14:07.940 There's more questions that should be asked there.

01:14:10.200 Nobody was telling you about digital currency, CBDC, central bank digital currency.

01:14:19.800 It is absolute control of your life, and it's in testing with the Fed and Citigroup and all the rest of them today.

01:14:29.260 Now, let me give you another one.

01:14:31.900 NBC has suspended their correspondent after he reported on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi.

01:14:42.280 He said there's a discrepancy.

01:14:45.360 Obviously, the police and district attorney say that it was Paul Pelosi that opened the door and was not in danger and then walked back to the assailant, and that's when they started fighting over the hammer.

01:15:02.020 The DOJ says, no, the police opened the door.

01:15:11.640 Well, now, wait a minute.

01:15:12.800 Those are two very different things, and maybe it doesn't matter.

01:15:19.620 I think it does, but maybe it doesn't matter.

01:15:22.620 But why is the district attorney saying one thing and holding to it, and the DOJ saying another thing and holding to it?

01:15:32.920 And then why?

01:15:35.080 Why did this guy who works at NBC, he has Emmy Award after Emmy Award after Emmy Award.

01:15:41.320 Why is this investigative reporter, after he produces, not goes live, he produces something, he didn't edit it, he didn't put it together.

01:15:54.240 He's not the editor at large, producer, executive producer.

01:15:58.900 Everybody had to watch this.

01:16:00.680 Tons of people put this thing together.

01:16:03.060 Even, like, the graphics on the screen describing what happened.

01:16:06.040 It was not a five-minute process.

01:16:07.720 No, this took a long time, probably a good portion of a day for many, many people to produce.

01:16:14.820 And then when it plays, he's suspended.

01:16:20.440 For what?

01:16:22.360 For what?

01:16:23.700 That he got facts wrong?

01:16:25.480 Because I can list a whole bunch of facts that NBC got wrong.

01:16:28.920 They'll even admit they got wrong and nobody lost their job.

01:16:31.920 They promote those people, usually.

01:16:33.540 Yeah.

01:16:33.760 So, what is it they're trying to say?

01:16:37.180 Or is this just a message?

01:16:41.160 You don't question anything when it comes to the Democrats.

01:16:47.580 I don't know.

01:16:49.800 But that sure should be answered by NBC because we just saw how Bloomberg answered it.

01:16:56.540 But you are going to get even less truth than you ever thought possible.

01:17:05.140 If you think the press is as bad as it could get today, it's not.

01:17:11.240 It's not.

01:17:12.680 They are openly hiding things.

01:17:17.860 I don't know if you saw the Hunter Biden interview.

01:17:20.340 So, there's this crypto roundtable show and the interviewer starts doing the interview and he doesn't ask Hunter anything, anything.

01:17:32.920 And he says later that I couldn't.

01:17:36.300 I would have liked to, but I was told I could not go into anything except cryptocurrency.

01:17:44.620 Well, you know, Katie Couric had that agreement with me as well at one point and she violated it.

01:17:55.300 Why didn't you on your crypto roundtable show?

01:18:01.120 They don't want you to hear the truth.

01:18:04.960 We at The Blaze, we were built on that.

01:18:13.520 The truth has no agenda.

01:18:17.120 And we will tell you the truth because my agenda is only that.

01:18:23.380 We'll admit our mistakes and tell you why we made that mistake and how we corrected it.

01:18:30.940 That's rare.

01:18:32.000 I'd like to ask you again.

01:18:35.820 I know times are tough, but please subscribe to TheBlaze.com.

01:18:40.620 It's a big special tonight.

01:19:05.540 Now, more than ever, you absolutely have to have a contingency plan to remain financially healthy.

01:19:11.220 It is so important for you.

01:19:14.240 It's important for your family.

01:19:15.700 And it's not the sort of thing that you can just ignore.

01:19:18.640 You are paying more.

01:19:19.840 You know this.

01:19:20.520 For basic necessities.

01:19:22.400 You're getting in.

01:19:23.640 Your debt costs are going up higher and higher and getting you deeper in debt.

01:19:30.680 But it's time to consider getting ahead of some of these things using your home's equity quickly because I think equity is going to go down.

01:19:40.500 You're going to lose some value in your house if you haven't already.

01:19:43.900 It's not all that complicated, but knowing how and where to get started is often half the battle.

01:19:49.660 When it comes to credit cards, you don't want to be paying 20% or 25% interest rates.

01:19:54.560 It's much better to pay 5%.

01:19:57.000 You'll pay them off.

01:19:58.320 And here's where American Financing comes in.

01:20:01.420 America's home for home loans.

01:20:40.300 Miss a day.

01:20:41.240 Miss a lot.

01:20:42.220 Visit BlazeTV.com today.

01:20:44.780 And never miss a moment of truth.

01:20:46.460 We have the radical theory behind FTX coming up in just a second.

01:21:09.660 You're going to understand so much of your world in 20 minutes after the top of the hour break.

01:21:17.700 So, you had one of the mainstream reporters.

01:21:23.280 I think she's the first.

01:21:24.240 She's the first, yeah.

01:21:25.060 Laura Shen.

01:21:25.920 The first mainstream reporter that was assigned full-time to cryptocurrency from Forbes at the time.

01:21:32.600 She now does a podcast called Unchained.

01:21:34.480 And she wrote a book called The Cryptopians, which was the beginnings of the Ethereum creation.

01:21:40.700 And she, I mean, and it's, I read the book.

01:21:42.800 It's incredibly detailed.

01:21:44.640 Like, she talked to every single player.

01:21:46.700 And it's detailed to the point of like, okay, I don't even know what's happening.

01:21:49.360 Like, she's deep.

01:21:51.440 But she also talked to everybody involved in the FTX thing.

01:21:55.920 From Sam Banker.

01:21:56.760 She had any idea.

01:21:57.840 To even the girlfriend who was running Alameda Research.

01:22:01.120 Do we have the audio of the girlfriend?

01:22:03.700 Yeah, play this.

01:22:05.120 This is the girlfriend.

01:22:05.620 There was a big argument sort of back in, whenever it was, June or July, about like, should we even do yield farming at all?

01:22:14.200 And I was kind of like, oh, I don't know.

01:22:16.480 This whole thing seems like weird.

01:22:18.840 And aren't there risks?

01:22:21.620 And like, what if these platforms get hacked?

01:22:23.700 And like, it's like such a huge pain operationally.

01:22:27.660 It's like, this is the woman that was running $10 billion in liabilities.

01:22:32.800 And she was, that's who was running it.

01:22:35.080 And no idea.

01:22:36.560 No, I, again, no one did.

01:22:39.100 I mean, they had all these connections.

01:22:40.960 I mean, not no one.

01:22:41.660 But the connections, just like Theranos, prove the credibility in theory, I guess.

01:22:46.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:47.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:17.600 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:38.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:41.280 Hello, America.

01:23:46.480 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:49.620 Well, we have a problem with people who are donating to the Democratic Party, the mega donors.

01:23:59.120 They all seem to be a little spooky, don't they?

01:24:02.160 Hey, I'm going to explain the FTX situation in a way that I don't think you've heard elsewhere, that ties a lot of things together.

01:24:16.660 We talk about Sam Bankman Freed.

01:24:19.760 Well, the Democrats have taken the Senate, and you know what that means.

01:24:34.800 It means we have to work a little harder and stick together a little better than we've been doing.

01:24:38.540 It means that you and I need to be patronizing the companies that believe in the same set of values and principles that we do.

01:24:46.000 Companies that stand for freedom.

01:24:48.320 Companies like Patriot Mobile.

01:24:50.100 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

01:24:53.740 They share your values.

01:24:55.560 They're not going to send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America like so many phone companies look it up.

01:25:01.600 They work for conservative causes, not against them.

01:25:06.360 You're going to get the same nationwide service, all while supporting a company that loves America, shares your values, and supports our police.

01:25:13.580 Switching is easy.

01:25:15.040 It's going to be really rewarding, knowing that you're not only getting great mobile service, and you're getting it at a better price,

01:25:22.360 but you're also standing up for what is right, true, and good.

01:25:37.440 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:25:41.440 Okay, so Sam Bankman Freed.

01:25:44.240 He was the digital guru who pledged to spend as much as a billion dollars in support of Democratic candidates.

01:25:53.100 Now, he's under a federal investigation.

01:25:56.580 Oh, I bet he is.

01:25:58.520 So, what did he do, and who are his friends?

01:26:07.180 Well, Bankman Freed, SBF is what they call him.

01:26:10.800 SBF, the next Warren Buffett is what they also called him, donated to President Joe Biden's campaign and other democratically aligned entities in 2020,

01:26:21.740 $5.7 million.

01:26:26.140 $40 million is the amount he donated to political candidates and committees during the 22 election cycle.

01:26:33.100 Vast majority or Democrats, $40 million.

01:26:37.320 His net worth as of election day was $16,600,000,000.

01:26:46.760 His estimated net worth today, zero.

01:26:49.940 Now, I just want to see if you find any kind of connection here.

01:26:59.280 Free Beacon did a great story on this.

01:27:01.600 So, you have SBF.

01:27:07.420 Then you also have Harvey Weinstein.

01:27:10.440 He donated almost $600,000 to Democratic candidates and committees since 2000.

01:27:16.840 He had fundraisers for Hillary, for Barack Obama.

01:27:20.580 Yeah, he's now in jail and on trial for even more rapes.

01:27:27.260 He'll be in jail to the day he dies.

01:27:30.380 Then you have Jeffrey Epstein, who donated more than $150,000 to Democratic candidates and committees, including $10,000 contribution as recently as 2018.

01:27:42.520 Hmm.

01:27:45.820 Hmm.

01:27:48.160 Okay.

01:27:49.520 So, he was with liberal billionaires.

01:27:51.740 He wrote checks to Ivy League universities.

01:27:55.400 Bill Clinton was one of his good friends.

01:27:57.840 And then he hung himself, in air quotes, in his jail cell in 2019.

01:28:04.260 Okay.

01:28:05.300 Then you have Ed Buck.

01:28:07.620 Longtime liberal activist.

01:28:09.360 Donated more than half a billion dollars to Democratic candidates and committee.

01:28:14.880 He was sentenced in April to 30 years in prison for luring young men to his home, sexually assaulting them, and at least two cases, injecting them with a fatal dose of methamphetamine.

01:28:28.040 Oh.

01:28:28.440 He was described as a violent, dangerous sexual predator who exploited vulnerable victims, men who were drug-dependent and often without homes, to feed an obsession that led to death and misery.

01:28:41.400 That's Ed Buck.

01:28:42.520 He's another one of the big campaign donors.

01:28:46.480 Bernie Madoff.

01:28:48.240 Oh, he was the best.

01:28:49.960 $200,000 to the Democratic Party.

01:28:53.280 Including Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton.

01:28:55.700 He defrauded people of $65 billion, the largest Ponzi scheme in history.

01:29:05.300 He died.

01:29:06.580 He had a 150-year prison sentence.

01:29:09.320 He died in 2021.

01:29:11.180 He went to jail in 2009.

01:29:13.420 So, Sam Bankman-Fried is not the first.

01:29:17.360 So, what is it about these guys that attract them to the Democrats?

01:29:22.960 Well, one, if you are in with the Democrats, generally speaking, you can hide out there forever.

01:29:33.940 They launder your reputation.

01:29:37.500 But there's something else.

01:29:38.820 It's called effective altruism.

01:29:43.780 FTX, this scandal may rip the mask off the left in something that most people don't know.

01:29:50.380 What we see is apathy and lust, piles of dark money and the bizarre habits of atheist leftists.

01:29:58.680 The billionaire and CEO, the so-called philanthropist, Sam Bankman-Fried, is vaguely creepy.

01:30:07.420 His girlfriend is even more so.

01:30:10.060 He's the perfect hero for the left.

01:30:14.100 Mushy, lacking all masculinity, boring, hedonistic, and obsessed with doing good,

01:30:21.260 even if it means committing crimes that result in enormous pain for many people.

01:30:26.520 Now, most of us cannot imagine how people just commit evil so nonchalantly.

01:30:34.880 You know, just like, eh, whatever.

01:30:37.020 Let alone with the smugness of someone who thinks they're morally superior.

01:30:43.280 So, it makes sense that this arrogance is based on the ideas of leftist intellectuals.

01:30:48.520 A trendy movement that you probably haven't heard of, effective altruism, which claims to be a new kind of philanthropy.

01:31:00.740 The World Economic Forum has used many of its ideas.

01:31:03.840 What a surprise.

01:31:05.260 One of the creators of effective altruism is a philosopher.

01:31:08.820 His name is William McCaskill.

01:31:10.380 He's friends with Sam Bankman-Fried.

01:31:14.100 They've known each other for at least a year.

01:31:19.660 McCaskill actually worked for Sam Bankman-Fried.

01:31:23.380 According to the New York Times, he was one of the five people from the charitable vehicle known as the FTX Future Fund,

01:31:30.940 who jointly announced their resignation on Thursday.

01:31:34.800 So, what is this theory?

01:31:36.880 Well, you've seen it in play a lot.

01:31:43.880 In his book, Doing Good Better, McCaskill lists the steps to effective altruism.

01:31:51.760 In a weird twist, the book mentions a study about the crowds at Tea Party rallies and how the weather affected the crowd side.

01:32:01.980 Does a larger audience make a significant political difference in the effects of the events?

01:32:07.760 The study concluded, yes, each person makes a difference, which I think I agree with, but that's about as far as I'll go with this movement.

01:32:16.220 Like the World Economic Forum, effective altruism is obsessed with climate change.

01:32:22.300 They're obsessed with fair trade and green living, but that's not enough to stop climate change.

01:32:30.720 They want us to eat less meat, thus we eat bugs.

01:32:35.020 Like Klaus Schwab, McCaskill thinks that we need radical change to common sense.

01:32:42.320 He believes people should earn to give, make as much money as possible, and then give it away to people who would need it.

01:32:49.720 He argues that it's pointless to boycott sweatshops because, what, the workers then are going to make more money and they only end up doing worse someplace else.

01:33:00.340 Instead, he says wealthy Americans should donate a chunk of their salary to people who know better, and they can help the world.

01:33:10.720 This is a religion of activism.

01:33:14.340 McCaskill writes, advocacy also has the potentially high payoff, as one could influence the behavior of many thousands of people and help influence debates around particular policies.

01:33:26.440 Though this is particularly difficult to quantify, one could become an effective advocate through journalism or by pursuing an early career in academia and then moving on to become a public intellectual.

01:33:39.180 We see this.

01:33:40.540 That is what journalism now is.

01:33:43.820 He co-founded the effective altruism movement with, oh, one of my favorites, Peter Singer.

01:33:51.800 If you know anything about Peter Singer, you're running for the hills.

01:33:56.080 Peter Singer is a bioethicist.

01:33:58.120 He's at Stanford, I think.

01:34:00.800 He's known for his work in animal liberation.

01:34:04.140 He sees animal farming and medical testing as a form of racism.

01:34:08.540 His stance on abortion is pretty much murder.

01:34:12.560 He believes newborns aren't people.

01:34:15.280 Newborns, not fetuses, newborns.

01:34:17.880 He said that killing a newborn baby up to the age of two is never equivalent to killing a person.

01:34:25.460 That is a being who wants to go on living.

01:34:28.780 Babies just don't know.

01:34:30.320 So it's OK to kill babies.

01:34:31.980 He advocates for most forms of euthanasia as long as the person consents.

01:34:37.700 Disability rights activists usually protest his events because he believes that disability is a valid excuse for euthanasia.

01:34:45.260 Oddly, oddly, a guy who is pretty much, you know, doing the same thing they did in Germany, he opposes the death penalty and he's an atheist.

01:34:58.340 Yet he also blames God for evil.

01:35:01.440 He's Jewish with three of his grandparents dying in the Holocaust.

01:35:05.200 Yet he's pro-Palestinian.

01:35:07.980 This guy's a piece of work.

01:35:09.280 It should be no surprise that Singer is an agenda contributor to the World Economic Forum.

01:35:17.020 Klaus Schwab mentions him several times in his book, The Great Narrative.

01:35:21.500 So The Great Reset is a perfect example of doing good better.

01:35:27.780 Because the foundation of all these ideas is utilitarianism.

01:35:33.280 It is together we make one great host.

01:35:38.540 One great word.

01:35:39.200 Yeah.

01:35:39.860 A philosophy that most sane people have rejected is just a thought experiment.

01:35:45.880 It's a form of radicalism.

01:35:48.120 It's an attempt to satisfy human needs without the obstacle of God given rights.

01:35:55.260 Think of that.

01:35:56.360 That's the goal to satisfy human needs without the obstacle of God given rights.

01:36:05.960 This is the the trolley of the trolley problem.

01:36:09.640 Ever heard of the trolley problem?

01:36:11.160 Trolley is coming down and it approaches a fork in one direction.

01:36:14.200 A single person is tied to the track.

01:36:15.780 The other direction, a dozen people are tied to the track.

01:36:18.100 You have to choose which direction to turn the train.

01:36:20.560 And in utilitarianism, you sacrifice the single person, right?

01:36:26.560 Okay.

01:36:27.360 And when I say sacrifice, I mean sacrifice.

01:36:30.700 Murder, stealing, assault, violence of any kind can be justified by utilitarianism.

01:36:40.840 As long as its outcome is mostly favorable, mostly peaceful.

01:36:51.940 Utilitarianism is a secular alternative to Christianity and it goes hand in hand with hedonism.

01:36:59.380 What did I say about Sam?

01:37:01.080 He was a hedonist.

01:37:02.940 It's pragmatic instead of moral.

01:37:06.300 Its focus is collectivism and the greatest happiness principle, the greatest happiness for the largest number of people.

01:37:13.800 It considers happiness and pain more happiness, less pain.

01:37:19.900 Its rule is by elites who know better than you do.

01:37:25.240 And you're just really incompetent.

01:37:27.480 You're sheep.

01:37:27.960 You can see this leftist idea of equity, of outcome, affirmative action, inclusion at all costs, even exclusion.

01:37:44.240 You can see what is happening.

01:37:46.800 It is this poison.

01:37:48.800 It is the gospel of a world turned upside down and inside out.

01:37:53.880 It is a ministry of pudgy billionaires devoted to annihilation.

01:38:00.840 That's what was truly behind FTX.

01:38:07.760 More in a minute.

01:38:09.760 Maybe the biggest takeaway from this economy over the past couple of years has been that it doesn't matter how much money you'll make.

01:38:15.820 It's the value of that money.

01:38:18.960 If that value doesn't hold up, it doesn't matter how much money you make.

01:38:22.500 The whole reason I always tell you that you should consider investing a certain percentage, I've got maybe 10% of your assets, into precious metals.

01:38:32.780 Well, I did have that.

01:38:33.720 I don't have that now.

01:38:35.160 I lost it in a boating accident.

01:38:36.720 Anyway, historically, things like gold and silver tend to hold up on their own when inflation shoots up.

01:38:43.400 You don't want to be left in the lurch when the U.S. dollar goes belly up.

01:38:47.120 And if you haven't heard, wait until I give you the latest news on digital currency from the Fed.

01:38:54.860 That's coming up.

01:38:56.280 You don't want to be left out in the cold.

01:38:58.660 That's why you need to look into Goldline.

01:39:46.260 10 seconds.

01:39:46.880 Station ID.

01:39:47.380 I mean, it's a pretty negative take on effective altruism.

01:40:02.940 And I would agree that there are problems with it.

01:40:07.240 And not a lot, not everything is to like.

01:40:10.020 A lot of the people who practice it are nuts.

01:40:12.340 And that's part of the problem.

01:40:13.580 But like, you know, some of the points you mentioned, he, one of the philosophies is instead of dedicating your life to, you know, I don't know.

01:40:24.460 A charity.

01:40:25.100 Some charity.

01:40:26.040 You use capitalism and you earn money and then you choose who to give it to.

01:40:31.880 That's absolutely right.

01:40:32.320 And I think.

01:40:32.620 That's what I do.

01:40:33.300 Right.

01:40:33.620 It's, yeah.

01:40:34.360 I mean, I don't think it's, like, I think the way that the left uses effective altruism is bad in most cases.

01:40:41.680 And a lot of it's because, well, first of all, Sam Bankman-Fried was just seemingly fraud, you know, defrauding people to get this money to give away.

01:40:49.720 Yes.

01:40:50.060 So that's obviously a problem.

01:40:51.880 Peter Singer is also.

01:40:52.980 Peter Singer is a massive problem.

01:40:54.820 Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum.

01:40:57.220 But again, like, you know, using capitalism to do good is something that you have been doing for long before they called it effective altruism.

01:41:05.360 The difference is that that is not effective altruism.

01:41:08.320 That's part of it.

01:41:08.760 That's part of it.

01:41:10.880 This is the ends justify the means.

01:41:13.500 It can be.

01:41:14.400 And that's, I think, the problem with some people who practice it.

01:41:18.200 Correct.

01:41:18.380 But I mean, part of it is also like.

01:41:19.860 But it explains why they don't really have a problem with him and the Democratic Party.

01:41:24.280 They didn't have a problem.

01:41:25.540 They knew about Harvey Weinstein.

01:41:27.640 They knew.

01:41:28.300 They knew.

01:41:29.760 It wasn't hard to.

01:41:31.460 Ends justify the means.

01:41:32.380 Ends justify the means.

01:41:33.580 You can be in bed with anyone as long as they are furthering your goals.

01:41:37.740 There is a utilitarian bent that is sometimes disturbing.

01:41:40.440 But we also could use at times more utilitarianism when you're talking about taking your money and giving it to things that not just feel good or give you the warmest feeling inside, but that actually do the most good.

01:41:55.440 I mean, there's a version of this where you can, and I think you largely agree with a good version of this, because I've seen you in action.

01:42:05.760 You give away a lot of your money to causes that you believe in, and you don't do it just based on like, okay, here's a splashy thing.

01:42:13.900 Let's get a bunch of famous people together.

01:42:16.340 You're doing it in a way that you hope does the most possible good with those resources.

01:42:21.460 And I think that's an admirable thing to do with your charitable dollars.

01:42:26.720 I think it kind of goes back to that old conversation about you passed a homeless person in the streets who's drinking alcohol and begging you for money.

01:42:38.020 Do you give the money to them, or do you give the money to the homeless shelter where they should be going?

01:42:43.380 There is arguments on both sides, and we've talked about it before.

01:42:46.300 At some point, if you feel led to do it, to give it directly to that person, maybe that is the right thing to do.

01:42:51.460 But also, if everyone gives it to the homeless people on the street drinking alcohol and none to the homeless shelter, the problem never gets solved.

01:42:58.960 And I don't know that the problem ever gets solved with homeless shelters either.

01:43:01.420 That's a whole other story.

01:43:02.260 But the point is, you know, being responsible with your money when you give it away to charity is really important.

01:43:09.060 Looking at how the charities spend their money, really important.

01:43:14.040 You know, so I think there is a level there of trying to do the most good with your resources that is, I think, a positive aspect of effective altruism that is embedded in there.

01:43:25.120 And I think an increased focus on that by people would probably be positive.

01:43:29.340 That being said, eating bugs is not what I'm talking about.

01:43:32.860 Yeah, I know.

01:43:33.420 And the problem here is, too, is if you are in effective altruism the way he saw it, you create things to make money to pull off and, quote, do good.

01:43:50.020 Right.

01:43:50.440 And that's obviously terrible.

01:43:51.220 So when it starts to go awry, you'll cut corners any way you have to.

01:43:57.120 I think, do what you love.

01:43:59.600 Money is a side benefit, okay?

01:44:03.680 It's a side product.

01:44:05.260 And you get that money.

01:44:06.680 Great.

01:44:07.180 Then take that and invest in things.

01:44:09.400 But do first what you love and what you are doing to make money, not tying it directly to the charity.

01:44:19.440 That has to come after or you lose sight.

01:44:22.420 And you easily convince yourself, oh, I've got to keep doing this.

01:44:29.800 I'm too important.

01:44:30.460 Too important, yeah.

01:44:31.600 If you're living with aches and pains in your life, particularly if you're living with really frequent bad pain, I want you to consider something for a moment.

01:44:39.740 What if you didn't have to be doing that?

01:44:42.160 I know that sounds crazy because it's like, yeah, that's what I've been taking all of these other medicines for.

01:44:51.080 This is why I've been trying everything.

01:44:52.440 I know.

01:44:53.940 This is what Relief Factor did for me and still does for me.

01:44:57.100 I take it every day.

01:44:58.700 I stopped about four weeks ago, maybe, because I was feeling good.

01:45:02.920 And then the weather changed and wow, it gives me the ability to live my life.

01:45:09.960 If you're living with pain, please just try it.

01:45:12.840 It might work for you, too.

01:45:14.980 It's not something that's going to space you out.

01:45:17.260 It was made by doctors as four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source of most of our pain.

01:45:23.460 So try it for three weeks.

01:45:24.940 See if it works for you.

01:45:26.620 1995 is the trial pack.

01:45:29.080 70% of the people who order it go on to order more.

01:46:22.340 We have an FBI whistleblower.

01:46:24.820 We have Mike Lee on the Constitution.

01:46:27.380 We have two really good attorneys that are helping people navigate these waters.

01:46:35.020 And we have four stories and the people that live them on set to tell their story.

01:46:42.220 This one, you've probably, if you're a long-time listener, remember this right after COVID started and right after January 6th.

01:46:52.020 I want you to listen to this.

01:46:55.100 This is the Hupers story.

01:46:56.720 The Hupers live in Alaska now.

01:46:59.920 Listen.

01:47:00.240 We met in La Mesa, California, outside of San Diego.

01:47:09.600 We were married in 1990.

01:47:12.800 So we lived there until the mid-90s and decided that we were really more designed for small-town living.

01:47:19.320 Marilyn and Paul Hupers moved their family over 2,000 miles just to find some peace and quiet in the beautiful wilderness of Alaska.

01:47:36.060 They became innkeepers, providing others a glimpse into the paradise that they were now able to call home.

01:47:42.540 But that quiet retreat turned into absolute chaos one early April morning.

01:47:53.980 But first, let's back up.

01:47:55.920 Paul has always enjoyed politics.

01:47:58.180 But Marilyn, eh, not so much.

01:48:00.700 But as they watched the 2020 election results unfold, both felt that something seemed off.

01:48:07.240 The president-elect is running into some issues with his transition to the White House.

01:48:11.100 This comes as President Donald Trump and his legal team pushed claims a voter fraud in several key battleground states.

01:48:18.880 Plus, they were away from home already on vacation in Arizona.

01:48:22.700 Marilyn looked up the tickets and went, wow, it's only $39 per person round trip from Phoenix to D.C.

01:48:29.740 Let's go to D.C.

01:48:31.100 We've never been to a rally.

01:48:32.600 We've never heard a president speak.

01:48:34.220 It felt like the right thing to do was to go and listen and lend our support.

01:48:40.100 It's chaos at the Capitol.

01:48:42.320 A deadly siege on Congress as an angry pro-Trump mob storms the U.S. Capitol.

01:48:47.120 A man who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol today during the riots.

01:48:51.420 Someone has died.

01:48:52.320 But this was far from the Huper's experience in D.C.

01:48:57.020 They never even got close enough to the Capitol to really see what was going on.

01:49:01.420 We just observed from outside.

01:49:04.620 We only had about 30 minutes before we had to go catch a plane.

01:49:08.840 They returned home.

01:49:10.240 Life was normal.

01:49:11.680 And the Alaskan peace surrounded them once again.

01:49:15.680 Until that April morning.

01:49:17.620 I could hear a loud banging on the far side of the house away from where we were.

01:49:23.100 And a loud male voice barked out, FBI, come out with your hands up.

01:49:28.000 Come around the corner and, yeah, I had six, seven guns pointed to my head.

01:49:32.780 It's the first time I ever looked down a loaded barrel of a gun.

01:49:38.580 He got kind of rough with me and said, move forward, turn around.

01:49:42.000 And they slapped handcuffs on me behind my back.

01:49:46.700 They took Marilyn into a separate room.

01:49:49.020 But unlike her husband, Marilyn almost immediately could sense why these men were inside her home.

01:49:57.040 We were part of a credit card company that had been reported as turning in information

01:50:02.300 for people who, like, book tickets or use the card for lodging during the J6 weekend.

01:50:10.340 And so I had just put down on a list next to my bed.

01:50:15.780 I put a little box and next to it, like, find out what to do if the FBI contacts you.

01:50:21.800 The very first thing probably out of their mouth was, so you probably know why we're here.

01:50:27.100 I said, absolutely not.

01:50:29.760 They said, well, we're here looking for Nancy Pelosi's laptop.

01:50:34.620 What does that have to do with me?

01:50:36.680 Eventually, an agent showed Marilyn a picture of a woman they believed to be her.

01:50:42.320 Then I grabbed the paper and I said, is this who you're looking for?

01:50:45.680 Because I'm not an expert or anything.

01:50:48.100 But she has detached earlobes and I have attached earlobes.

01:50:52.740 That's a different person.

01:50:54.060 The agents continued their search of the Huber home, but eventually realized, whoops, it's

01:51:00.960 a mistake.

01:51:02.400 Before they left, Marilyn asked who she should contact about their broken, kicked-in door.

01:51:08.700 And he said, oh yeah, we don't do that.

01:51:11.580 The courts never hold us accountable.

01:51:13.560 We don't have to do that.

01:51:15.280 You can try, but they won't make us.

01:51:17.180 That's kind of kindergarten 101.

01:51:19.940 If you break something, if you harm somebody, if you make a mistake, you apologize, and then

01:51:27.040 you fix it.

01:51:29.120 Are we, did that stop?

01:51:32.820 Anyway, sorry, we just had a incredible story.

01:51:35.860 Power outage.

01:51:36.840 A really, truly remarkable story.

01:51:39.800 The Glenn Back Program.

01:51:47.180 Welcome to the program.

01:51:58.780 We had a power outage here in Dallas, and I don't know.

01:52:03.060 We seem to be having them a lot.

01:52:04.640 I feel a little like we're in old Mejio.

01:52:09.920 Except we can drink the water here.

01:52:11.400 Yeah, except we can drink the water.

01:52:13.580 We had another power outage.

01:52:15.140 Sorry for that wreck.

01:52:17.040 We have everything on uninterrupted power supplies, except we learned Sarah's speakers.

01:52:26.000 And she faces us, and she's in a soundproof room.

01:52:29.760 We were talking, and she was like, I can't hear you.

01:52:34.440 You're not on.

01:52:35.720 I can't hear you.

01:52:37.520 And apparently we won.

01:52:38.960 So it was a fun day.

01:52:40.700 Sarah, you deserve a drink today.

01:52:44.020 What he meant to say was another drink.

01:52:47.980 Yeah, it was just, what I meant was, don't try to hide it today.

01:52:51.760 There will be many.

01:52:52.640 Yeah.

01:52:52.920 Okay.

01:52:55.240 Anyway.

01:52:56.840 Oh, I've got to do a commercial here for my Patriot Supply.

01:53:01.240 We're just sitting here with, what is your name, sir?

01:53:04.600 What is it?

01:53:07.840 Harold.

01:53:08.480 Harold.

01:53:08.960 Yes.

01:53:09.380 Harold what?

01:53:10.120 Harold Frenchinson.

01:53:12.800 Frenchinson.

01:53:13.460 Frenchinson.

01:53:14.040 Yeah, okay.

01:53:14.840 So, Harold, let's say, I mean, how prepared do you think you are?

01:53:19.280 I'm very prepared for any outcome that could come my way.

01:53:22.400 Let's say you have a power outage.

01:53:24.120 Oh, wow.

01:53:24.580 Yeah, I can't handle that.

01:53:25.700 You can't?

01:53:25.980 No.

01:53:26.640 Oh, no.

01:53:27.460 Right into cannibalism.

01:53:29.360 Right.

01:53:29.680 Yeah.

01:53:30.320 Yeah, I had a, recently, I was doing a national radio show.

01:53:34.560 Really?

01:53:34.940 We lost some power.

01:53:36.000 Yeah.

01:53:36.380 And I consumed three human beings in the commercial break.

01:53:40.060 Really?

01:53:40.580 Yeah.

01:53:41.060 You never know.

01:53:41.980 How long was that power out?

01:53:43.780 Three or four minutes.

01:53:45.000 Wow.

01:53:45.620 Yeah.

01:53:46.280 I was hungry.

01:53:47.000 And it could get that bad.

01:53:48.100 You know, I had to get to it quickly.

01:53:50.220 Yeah.

01:53:50.640 You never know.

01:53:51.080 The meat goes bad after a while.

01:53:52.520 Not if it's alive.

01:53:58.000 Not if it's alive.

01:53:59.260 Well, you never can risk it.

01:54:00.440 Right.

01:54:00.660 Okay.

01:54:00.820 You know, I don't believe these scientists and doctors out there.

01:54:03.560 Right.

01:54:03.960 Okay.

01:54:04.080 You know, they're always lying to you.

01:54:06.980 Unfortunately, I had no food storage.

01:54:08.600 Right.

01:54:09.060 You know, if I had food storage, I could have eaten, like, the really delicious foods.

01:54:12.420 Right.

01:54:12.840 But I didn't have any of that.

01:54:14.300 Yeah.

01:54:14.420 So, I just ate, I ate all the human beings.

01:54:16.360 Well, don't let this happen to you.

01:54:17.620 I was watching the Dahmer series, and I was like, hey, you know, some of those meals look pretty

01:54:21.760 pretty good.

01:54:22.900 Right now.

01:54:24.340 Preparewithglenn.com.

01:54:25.500 Go there and save $250.

01:54:28.460 It's enough for everybody in your family.

01:54:31.020 Three months' food supply.

01:54:34.280 Make sure you get one for every member.

01:54:37.340 This is so important.

01:54:38.900 You never know when the lights could go out for two or three minutes, and you find yourself

01:54:45.040 face-to-face with a cannibal.

01:54:47.580 Preparewithglenn.com.

01:54:48.160 Oh, that's a mirror.

01:54:49.380 Preparewithglenn.com.

01:54:50.380 That's preparewithglenn.com.

01:54:52.200 Okay.

01:54:53.760 So, let's see.

01:54:55.360 We didn't get a chance to finish even talking about...

01:54:58.360 It's a good teaser, though.

01:54:59.300 It was.

01:54:59.760 Good teaser.

01:55:00.360 It was.

01:55:00.440 It was a cliffhanger.

01:55:01.480 What a cliffhanger.

01:55:01.980 Let's say, what a fascinating story.

01:55:03.720 You know, that's the thing I think is crazy about the special that you have tonight, which

01:55:08.640 is, like, things about, like, taking people's stuff without even charging them with a crime.

01:55:17.700 Right.

01:55:18.200 Breaking down their doors without even getting the right person, let alone...

01:55:22.580 Not seeing a warrant.

01:55:23.400 Not seeing a warrant.

01:55:23.880 Most people are seeing warrants.

01:55:25.940 None of them are being told what was going on.

01:55:28.240 None of them have been told they have a right to an attorney.

01:55:30.940 None of it.

01:55:31.360 Yeah.

01:55:31.920 Well, you know what?

01:55:32.440 This reminds me of an...

01:55:33.360 It's terrifying.

01:55:34.440 Is that story...

01:55:36.080 Gosh, what was her name?

01:55:37.160 I believe we were told to say her name many, many times, and I cannot think of it off the

01:55:42.100 top of my head, but she was the African-American woman who was in her...

01:55:45.060 She was sleeping with her boyfriend, and the police came.

01:55:48.020 They kept calling it a no-knock warrant, even though it wasn't really a no-knock warrant.

01:55:51.080 They knocked on the door.

01:55:52.140 They said, we're the police, and the boyfriend had some issue, was concerned about a drug dealer

01:55:58.780 who was coming to potentially kill the...

01:56:02.920 The couple.

01:56:03.420 The couple.

01:56:03.900 Well, the guy came in with a gun, broke down the door with a gun.

01:56:08.480 He fired back at the person.

01:56:09.620 He said he didn't hear anything about police, but even if you did, I mean, the drug dealer

01:56:14.620 is probably going to say the same thing.

01:56:16.260 I got to tell you, you're asking for trouble.

01:56:18.280 You come in the middle of the night.

01:56:19.800 That's why we didn't used to do that.

01:56:21.540 You would only do that for the most violent.

01:56:24.340 Yeah.

01:56:24.820 You know what I mean?

01:56:25.340 You'd only do that for people that you just couldn't catch on their way to work or at

01:56:30.760 the office.

01:56:31.700 You wouldn't do that.

01:56:32.720 And that story became, A, the police are racist, or B, you have crazy left-wing nutjobs

01:56:43.440 who are claiming everything is racist.

01:56:45.080 And that was sort of what the debate was around that story.

01:56:48.680 But in reality, if you were in that situation, I don't think the police were racist in that

01:56:54.300 story.

01:56:54.580 And I don't believe it was completely crazy to think when someone breaks down your door

01:56:59.140 in the middle of the night and you don't know who it is and you're under threat that you'd

01:57:02.340 take a shot at somebody.

01:57:03.980 I think both people, both the cop, and I don't think the cops should have, the cops need to

01:57:09.160 stop breaking people's doors down.

01:57:10.660 But that's more of a systematic issue than what those particular police officers did.

01:57:15.420 I side with the guy who shot back at the cop, if that's what happened.

01:57:18.240 Legal gun owner.

01:57:18.940 Legal gun owner.

01:57:20.160 Somebody's in my house.

01:57:21.260 I didn't hear you identify.

01:57:23.360 Yeah.

01:57:23.760 I mean, he shot back.

01:57:24.740 And people were like, oh, I can't believe they shot Breonna Taylor.

01:57:29.840 Breonna Taylor.

01:57:30.220 Yeah, yeah.

01:57:30.560 I can't believe they shot her.

01:57:32.420 Well, they always leave out of that story that the police officer, at the point he shot

01:57:37.080 her, he currently had a hole in his leg from a bullet that came from the person inside

01:57:43.900 the apartment.

01:57:45.260 Well, usually, and this is just generally speaking, if you shoot at a cop and hit the cop, typically

01:57:52.060 they're going to fire back.

01:57:53.620 Like, that's going to happen.

01:57:54.300 I would say this is more of a general rule.

01:57:56.440 Yeah.

01:57:56.760 You shoot at me and I have a gun.

01:57:59.300 Yeah.

01:57:59.500 I'm most likely going to shoot back.

01:58:01.680 Yeah.

01:58:02.000 And so it gets to a point where, how do you even know?

01:58:04.940 Like, if you're in the middle of nowhere in Alaska and all of a sudden someone's knocking,

01:58:10.040 banging on your door and saying they're the police, like, it crosses your mind.

01:58:14.200 A hundred things cross your mind.

01:58:15.500 What if it's not the police?

01:58:17.020 What if they're saying it is and it's not?

01:58:19.080 That's why they're supposed to identify themselves and give you a warrant.

01:58:22.420 I know.

01:58:22.760 I know.

01:58:23.160 She was saying that for a while they thought, or he was really thinking this, this got to

01:58:30.480 be because they have a rental property right next to their house.

01:58:33.000 And they thought this must be somebody that we rented to and we didn't know there were

01:58:38.320 bad guys or something.

01:58:39.460 And maybe they're coming into here thinking that that person over there is the bad guy.

01:58:43.600 They had no idea.

01:58:45.660 And he was kept in the dark and she was questioned and questioned for like two hours and they

01:58:50.620 picked on the wrong person.

01:58:51.880 When you see her tonight, oh my, she was not political at all.

01:58:58.560 She didn't know the constitution or declaration of independence.

01:59:01.660 This is the couple that had a copy of the constitution.

01:59:05.380 He had it, not her.

01:59:06.540 He had it.

01:59:07.360 They took it as evidence against her.

01:59:10.740 The constitution.

01:59:11.920 The constitution.

01:59:13.520 So she studied that little document and she is a warrior today.

01:59:18.420 That's great.

01:59:19.060 She was in, she was in said, she was in makeup and she was talking to somebody else who has

01:59:25.420 just gone through the same kind of stuff and they were getting ready for the show in the

01:59:28.320 makeup room and I'm standing there and greeting both of them.

01:59:32.040 And she says to the other person, do you have your rid of habeas corpus?

01:59:37.680 Do you fly with that now?

01:59:39.580 And they were like, oh yeah, I didn't bring one this time, but she's like, I got mine in

01:59:43.520 my pocket.

01:59:44.000 And I'm like, what?

01:59:46.260 I don't even know what a rid of habeas corpus is.

01:59:49.340 What?

01:59:50.720 That seems something old timey that Lincoln would have used, you know?

01:59:55.480 And, and they're serious.

01:59:58.640 They're, they have changed.

02:00:00.740 One encounter with these people and they have changed forever.

02:00:04.940 It reminds me too of like the stories of, of, you know, the bakery owner who somehow decides

02:00:10.000 to not make a cake for the wrong person.

02:00:11.800 And then all of a sudden their entire lives are destroyed.

02:00:14.740 Difference between a lawsuit, difference between a lawsuit and this, I think.

02:00:18.760 I'm just saying, I'm saying like, it really is amazing how quickly all of everything that

02:00:23.760 you depend on can just collapse.

02:00:25.540 Yeah.

02:00:25.860 And you have to really think about what to do in those situations to minimize the damage

02:00:32.060 if something like that does happen to you.

02:00:33.780 And, and I, I, I fear, you know, with civil asset forfeiture and, and the political wins that

02:00:40.740 this stuff is going to happen more often.

02:00:42.660 Yeah.

02:00:42.740 Wait till you hear it.

02:00:43.440 If you thought, if you know what civil asset forfeiture is, our experts made it worse.

02:00:49.420 Wait until you hear how they're, how they're doing it now.

02:01:17.160 Let's see.

02:01:17.940 There's a couple of other things.

02:01:19.880 You know what?

02:01:20.240 Let's just, let's talk about, we didn't really spend time talking about the missile that supposedly

02:01:26.340 was fired from Russia.

02:01:28.340 It looks like, no, it wasn't.

02:01:32.040 It was, thank God.

02:01:33.800 It was actually something that Ukraine fired off.

02:01:37.480 But yesterday for a while there, there were a lot of people that are like, this means war.

02:01:41.480 Let's go to war.

02:01:42.280 We gotta make them pay.

02:01:43.760 Can we slow down a bit, please?

02:01:49.160 Including Zelensky, by the way, who was very much like, this is a Russian missile and it's

02:01:53.760 hit a NATO country.

02:01:54.860 Like we, we don't, we, we want to be super duper sure before we would say anything like

02:01:59.160 that.

02:01:59.680 That's a nice way of putting it.

02:02:00.920 The super duper clause.

02:02:02.200 The super duper clause.

02:02:03.100 Yeah.

02:02:03.320 In article five.

02:02:04.400 Yes.

02:02:04.820 Yeah.

02:02:05.120 It's important.

02:02:05.720 Uh huh.

02:02:06.340 And with this situation, like it does seem at some level, maybe cooler heads have prevailed.

02:02:11.020 I don't know.

02:02:11.520 I honestly don't know what happened.

02:02:13.300 It could be that it was just a Ukrainian missile that went awry.

02:02:17.240 Could be the opposite.

02:02:18.380 And that, to me, that actually seems better.

02:02:21.600 Yeah.

02:02:22.040 Because if it was a Russian missile, if it went awry or some rogue just sent it off,

02:02:27.040 that means we're still talking with them.

02:02:29.280 Yeah.

02:02:29.480 And they were like, look, look, look, look, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, that

02:02:32.700 we didn't mean to do that.

02:02:33.760 Or we arrested the guy who did that or whatever it is.

02:02:36.800 That's a good sign.

02:02:38.000 That would be, that would be crucial.

02:02:39.380 I hope, I hope we're still at that level because you know, these things can fly out of

02:02:42.760 control at a moment's notice.

02:02:44.200 And we have a bunch of idiots making decisions.

02:02:47.920 Here he is.

02:02:48.540 The biggest denier of global warming I've ever met.

02:02:51.720 And he's talking to me about, it could be 8,000 degrees this afternoon.
