00:00:00.000 If you work hard for the money that you earn, like you do, then you want to spend that money.
00:00:06.360 Prefer to spend it on things that are made here in America and the made right.
00:00:12.000 It's not only a patriotism thing, it's a survival thing.
00:00:16.860 Traditionally, things that are made in America last longer, work better, set the standard for the rest of the world.
00:00:23.720 Let me tell you about a company called Grip6.
00:00:25.620 Grip6 is the true American deal.
00:00:30.820 These are two entrepreneurs that just decided that they were going to start making belts and wallets.
00:00:36.960 And then they have expanded in all kinds of other things.
00:00:39.720 Their socks are really unbelievable.
00:00:41.560 I'm wearing a pair of them right now.
00:00:43.560 You will love them.
00:00:44.860 Check out Grip6.com right now.
00:00:47.900 Grip6.com slash Beck.
00:00:50.720 Grip6.com slash Beck.
00:00:55.620 Grip6.com slash Beck.
00:01:25.620 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:34.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:40.320 Hello, America.
00:01:41.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:43.440 Is Islam the future of the religious right in America?
00:01:49.800 An unbelievably very, very wise op-ed in the Daily Caller.
00:01:56.060 We begin there in just a minute.
00:01:58.180 Imagine for a moment you get rid of the pain that you're in.
00:02:01.060 What would life be like for you?
00:02:03.100 Our bodies experience pain largely as a result of inflammation in our joints.
00:02:07.720 And if your experience with pain is anything like mine, you want to get rid of it.
00:02:13.260 And you've probably tried everything.
00:02:15.920 But have you tried Relief Factor?
00:02:18.180 If you're living in pain, life can be a real struggle.
00:02:21.020 But please give Relief Factor a three-week try.
00:02:24.680 Three-week quick start.
00:02:26.280 $19.95.
00:02:27.340 It's a trial pack.
00:02:28.480 It's not a drug, so it's not going to whack you out.
00:02:30.460 And it reduces inflammation in our bodies, which is the cause of most of the problems with our bodies and most of our pain.
00:02:38.620 About 70% of the people who order Relief Factor for the three-week trial go on to order more after the trial.
00:02:44.960 Why?
00:02:45.660 Well, I do because it works.
00:02:48.860 Relieffactor.com.
00:02:50.360 Relieffactor.com.
00:02:51.660 800, the number 4, Relief.
00:02:53.700 $19.95.
00:02:55.120 Relieffactor.com.
00:02:56.500 Or call 800, the number 4, Relief.
00:03:01.180 So, listen to this.
00:03:03.340 How far has America come?
00:03:05.140 This is from Mandel Nagan from the Daily Caller.
00:03:10.100 He is an opinion writer.
00:03:13.260 He said,
00:03:14.460 In C.S. Lewis' 1945 science fiction novel, That Hideous Strength, a group of Christian dissidents joined forces with the resurrected wizard Merlin
00:03:25.760 to fight a techno-Satanist conspiracy that threatens to engulf Britain and then the world.
00:03:32.600 After learning that Christianity has been torn to pieces and speaks with a divided voice, Merlin makes a bold suggestion.
00:03:42.320 If all this West, all this West part of the world is apostate, might it not be lawful in our great need to look further beyond Christianity?
00:03:54.680 Today in our country, where progressives are rapidly mainstreaming Satanism and the Oval Office is occupied by a devout Catholic, in parentheses,
00:04:04.660 who praises the chemical castration of children, many American Christians are asking themselves the same question.
00:04:12.520 You know, the one thing that bothers me about this is, I don't think we've tried Christianity.
00:04:17.820 I don't think we've been.
00:04:18.920 It's kind of like the Bill of Rights.
00:04:21.020 People are like, we've got to get rid of the Constitution.
00:04:24.440 It just doesn't work.
00:04:25.740 We haven't done it for like 100 years.
00:04:27.980 So, and have we really done Christianity?
00:04:31.460 I mean, a lot of people say they're Christians.
00:04:33.360 I say I'm Christian.
00:04:34.980 But, I don't know, do we live it every single day?
00:04:38.800 Are we striving to be closer to God and to be better Christians?
00:04:44.200 I haven't seen that movement.
00:04:45.740 I feel like it's starting to bubble.
00:04:49.980 But before we give up on Christianity, can we, I don't know, let's give it a whirl.
00:04:54.740 Let's give it a whirl.
00:04:55.740 Six years ago, conservative Christians marched against Sharia law.
00:05:00.700 Today, many would rather live under Islamic crescent than under the pride flag.
00:05:06.560 And that might turn out to be the choice on offer.
00:05:10.260 Christians are slowly, painfully learning that neutrality is a myth.
00:05:14.280 Traditional adherence to the two faiths are already made common cause in resisting progressive tyranny.
00:05:21.160 Anti-feminist, anti-trans commentary from conservative Christian pundits like Matt Walsh and Candace Owens have circulated widely among traditional Muslims.
00:05:31.660 In Dearborn, Michigan, Muslim parents shut down a school board meeting after learning that the school library included, among other titles, a guidebook explaining the ins and outs of gay sex.
00:05:43.580 Some figures on the fringes of the right are even praising or embracing Islam.
00:05:50.020 Some, this should bother you.
00:05:54.160 And this is one step closer to the line that I fear we're walking right up to.
00:06:02.620 And the only solution is Christianity.
00:06:07.300 Practiced Christianity.
00:06:10.500 Love thy neighbor.
00:06:11.860 Why are people, why is this op-ed being written?
00:06:17.780 Because Christians are losing hope and they're starting to say, well, this isn't working.
00:06:24.440 Well, you haven't practiced your religion, I contend, for most people.
00:06:30.680 And so what are they doing?
00:06:32.000 They're looking for someone that's a little more hard line to clean up the mess.
00:06:37.660 This is exactly what happened in Germany.
00:06:44.880 Weimar Republic.
00:06:46.000 I've been talking about this recently.
00:06:49.040 Weimar Republic.
00:06:50.160 The first trans surgery happens in 1925.
00:06:53.600 They open a university of sexology.
00:06:56.420 They start pumping out LGBTQ and transgender stuff.
00:07:01.700 It permeates the culture.
00:07:03.920 That's what the movie Cabaret is really about.
00:07:07.400 It permeates the culture.
00:07:09.520 It degrades the culture.
00:07:11.820 It starts to seep into the school.
00:07:14.540 Pedophilia rears its ugly head.
00:07:17.960 And people have had enough of it.
00:07:20.980 When there is another choice, they try and fight.
00:07:24.620 But the churches are already dead.
00:07:27.800 And so people look to something else.
00:07:30.520 And the something else is Adolf Hitler.
00:07:34.560 Because the first year or so, all he's talking about is making Germans moral again.
00:07:42.780 And so he goes in and he destroys it.
00:07:46.120 And what did everyone say?
00:07:48.120 All the people said, well, you know what?
00:07:52.020 He's so ridiculous.
00:07:53.760 Nobody's ever going to listen to him.
00:07:55.500 But he'll get the job done.
00:07:57.680 And then we'll take back the power.
00:08:01.880 Doesn't work that way.
00:08:03.260 I don't want to live under a crescent flag.
00:08:09.440 Thank you.
00:08:10.580 Sharia law, not for me.
00:08:13.460 But the left is pushing and pushing and pushing.
00:08:18.240 Monday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced that they had reversed course again.
00:08:23.660 And now have re-invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to be honored at their June 16th Pride Night festivities.
00:08:33.720 The drag queens, who dress as nuns, accepted an apology and will receive the Community Hero Award at the Dodgers' 10th Annual LGBTQ Plus Pride Night.
00:08:47.140 They are being cited for the life-saving work that they have done tirelessly.
00:08:52.160 So, these quote-unquote nuns, all drag queens, their slogan is, go forth and sin some more, are doing life-saving work.
00:09:06.880 They are also mocking Christians.
00:09:11.740 They are, you know, diabolical in nature, opposing the things that Christians believe.
00:09:21.000 So, the Dodgers said, no, we're not going to do this because the Catholics went crazy.
00:09:26.860 Well, apparently, Catholics don't have as much power anymore as the drag queen community.
00:09:35.700 Let me give you this story.
00:09:36.940 Do you remember a story I told you about the transgender pedophile that took his seven-year-old daughter and made movies with her and other pedophiles?
00:09:55.120 And they were rape movies over and over and over again, and it was absolutely horrendous.
00:10:01.440 Okay, he was convicted.
00:10:03.120 He's now in the women's prison.
00:10:05.780 And he's suing now because he says he and the entire Wiccan population at the prison, he's a witch, he said, they've suffered religious discrimination and we seek religious accommodations.
00:10:28.520 Now, as the blaze reported a couple of weeks ago, after serving as president of the Clark County Queer Association, he started an amateur transgendered pornography film business.
00:10:41.900 He and three other degenerates, one of them is now a fellow inmate at the women's prison with him.
00:10:48.520 There's two guys now, fully intact in the women's prison.
00:10:55.480 He did what the judge said was, if not heinous, cruel, and depraved, I don't know what is.
00:11:04.480 So he was convicted.
00:11:06.600 He was sent into prison.
00:11:08.640 He and his fellow transvestic child rapist are there, and they are trying to hold religious services.
00:11:18.520 And he wants certain items, including a witch's cloak.
00:11:23.200 That's a brown hoodless cloak.
00:11:26.060 It is one of the personal religious items that he says he needs.
00:11:32.380 Other items, the Book of Shadows, a divination tool, pentacles, pentagrams, rune cards, salt, and chalices.
00:11:43.180 I don't know.
00:11:44.920 I say no.
00:11:47.120 I say no.
00:11:49.180 This is why John Adams said, if you're not a religious and moral people, this system will fall.
00:12:02.440 It's not made for the opposite.
00:12:06.240 You have to have your own morals.
00:12:08.320 You have to have your own standards.
00:12:13.180 And as a society, we have no more standards.
00:12:16.860 So you can just argue, oh, yeah, the guy's a Satan worshiper.
00:12:21.220 Yeah, give him the chalice.
00:12:22.540 Sure.
00:12:23.340 Sure.
00:12:24.000 No.
00:12:25.520 No.
00:12:26.200 Washington state now spending $83,000 of taxpayer money on training drag queen story hours.
00:12:38.760 Washington state is spending that money, and they're going to feature the director of drag queen story hour titled Washington DEI empowerment conference.
00:12:52.500 The training is set to have talks that include diversity, anti-racism, and equity.
00:13:00.480 Hayden Michaels, the deputy communications director of the Office of Financial Management, said,
00:13:06.460 We expect the cost of putting on the conference to be about $83,000, 16 sessions, 5,000 seats each session.
00:13:16.340 That's about a dollar per seat, he said.
00:13:19.000 Yeah, I don't think the problem is the money, really, quite honestly.
00:13:24.040 It's a drag story hour and fireside chat.
00:13:28.500 How about San Francisco?
00:13:33.520 They've just named their first drag laureate.
00:13:37.980 The drag laureate promoting the city's queer culture and community.
00:13:45.640 Mayor declared the official job description as being fabulous all of the time.
00:13:50.540 It comes with a $55,000 stipend for the 18-month position.
00:13:58.500 It's part of the program from the mayor's office and the public library.
00:14:08.740 The Tampa Pride on the River event been canceled due to a series of anti-groomer bills passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law.
00:14:20.140 Everybody's upset with this.
00:14:22.620 They say, I have a feeling not everybody is upset with this.
00:14:30.620 Democratic governor declares state of emergency in North Carolina.
00:14:36.080 The Democratic governor of North Carolina declared the state of emergency in education after the legislature voted for school choice.
00:14:46.800 Now, they voted so quickly and so cleanly on this.
00:14:51.560 He says they're trying to starve public education by dropping a bomb on public education.
00:14:56.620 The problem here is they're not choking the life out of it.
00:15:03.600 He doesn't like the ruling.
00:15:05.340 He's going to declare an emergency because, why?
00:15:09.880 His veto will be overridden.
00:15:15.020 High school.
00:15:16.060 The students there, the male students, have been removing tampon dispensers off the walls of the boys' bathrooms.
00:15:28.360 Apparently, the boys in Oregon State don't agree with the requirement that public schools supply free tampons and sanitary pads for boys.
00:15:41.140 Let me tell you again, boys and men do not menstruate.
00:15:49.040 If you are a boy or a man, there's no need for that product.
00:15:54.460 So why would we put menstruation products into a boy's restroom?
00:16:02.180 Do not deny the truth.
00:16:06.240 Boys don't need that.
00:16:08.980 No matter what society may call them, they are clearly girls because boys do not menstruate.
00:16:18.100 So these are the headlines today.
00:16:20.940 Are we headed in the right direction or the wrong direction?
00:16:25.760 Is our solution of, I guess, giving up or teaming with people who are even, who have a spine like those who like Sharia law,
00:16:36.620 is that the right direction?
00:16:39.680 More in just a second.
00:16:41.860 In 60 seconds, we return.
00:16:43.660 Good Ranchers is there.
00:16:45.140 If you're not torturing your neighbors by throwing the best beef and chicken you can get on the grill right now,
00:16:49.620 you're not doing summer right.
00:16:51.220 We're talking about hand-trimmed, dry-aged steaks,
00:16:54.680 burgers that will make your mouth water.
00:16:57.340 The grill marks sinking into them.
00:17:00.420 They are so tender.
00:17:01.360 The chicken is really tender and juicy.
00:17:03.560 It is all raised here in America.
00:17:07.440 It's Good Ranchers beef.
00:17:09.420 85% of the grass-fed beef imported from overseas.
00:17:12.780 85% of it.
00:17:14.200 It's in your grocery store and it has that little Product of America flag sticker on it,
00:17:19.040 but it's not.
00:17:20.560 And for every box ordered, Good Ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need.
00:17:26.000 So that's over a million meals so far.

00:17:30.660 And you are going to eat really, really well.
00:17:33.020 This is top of the line.

00:18:09.400 Station ID.
00:18:17.180 Now only half of Americans say they are sure that God exists.
00:18:26.420 Half.
00:18:27.680 This is from a general social survey.
00:18:31.080 And it is one of the most accurate surveys on religion.
00:18:39.760 Not quite 50% of Americans say they have no doubt of the existence of God.
00:18:46.560 These numbers have changed a great deal.
00:18:50.280 34% of Americans never go to church.
00:18:53.020 That's the highest recorded in five decades.
00:18:56.040 Another report from the Public Religion Research Institute said 27% of Americans claim no religion,
00:19:04.700 up from 19 in 2012, and 16% in 2006.
00:19:12.320 27 from 16.
00:19:14.940 The share of Americans who identify as white evangelical Protestants has dwindled from 23% to 14%.
00:19:23.040 Share of mainline white Protestants has fallen from 18% to 14%.
00:19:27.500 White Catholics have declined from 16%.
00:19:30.780 Population to 13%.
00:19:32.720 Now, do we believe in God?
00:19:37.280 Are we going to church?
00:19:38.220 Nearly three quarters of the people believe in life after death.
00:19:42.240 So 75% of us believe in life after death, but just less than 50% of us believe in God.
00:19:50.860 Is this a case for the space octopus people?
00:19:53.500 I'm not sure.
00:19:55.740 Only 7% of people do not believe in God.
00:20:00.640 Seven.
00:20:01.660 They're mostly, if not all, Democrats.
00:20:05.400 Religious scholars say this is the gold standard of surveys on faith.
00:20:10.360 With 29% of Americans claiming no religion at all, that is also up.
00:20:18.620 So, what is happening?
00:20:21.520 Well, as we are getting less and less religious, and I'm not pushing any religion,
00:20:27.800 because I find God myself, but religion is a framework, and I think we all need different framework,
00:20:42.660 but my faith gives me the framework that teaches me how to live to be a Christian.
00:20:49.200 And whatever that framework is, if you're just going, and it doesn't require you to change,
00:20:55.400 you're not really going.
00:20:57.040 Church is just a thing you do.
00:21:00.880 Church is outside of the walls of the little building you go to.
00:21:06.540 Religion is where you get those instructions to go do things outside of the walls of the church every Sunday.
00:21:15.480 So, what is the solution here?
00:21:19.560 The solution we are ignoring.
00:21:22.480 The solution is getting weaker and weaker.
00:21:24.940 We are getting further and further away from the solution.
00:21:28.000 If you don't see that evil has reared its ugly head at this point, you may never see it.
00:21:36.340 If you just think that this is, I don't know, just, what, another day in America?
00:21:46.360 That these things that you're seeing every day are normal?
00:21:51.080 I don't know how to talk to that person.
00:21:55.320 I really don't.
00:21:56.400 Look at what is happening in our society, in our world, in our schools, to our children.
00:22:05.140 It is absolutely evil.
00:22:08.560 And it's time we start calling it by name.
00:22:11.340 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:27.500 Well, if your kids go to public school, looks like they've managed to survive through yet another year of indoctrination with most of their brains intact.
00:22:35.180 Are they, this summer, give them something to act as a counterbalance to all of the bad ideas, bad history, and bad morals they're being exposed to throughout the year.
00:22:46.360 Get them started on the Tuttle Twins books this summer.
00:22:50.280 Tuttle Twins books teach about the history of our nation, how it was founded, how it was meant to run.
00:22:56.320 They teach the economics of free market and how and why it's better than any other system.
00:23:01.940 So, if you can do this, you might be able to save your kids.
00:23:08.520 Raise your kids up in love, respect.
00:23:11.260 Raise your kids up to defend America as it was meant to be.
00:23:15.080 Know the Bill of Rights.
00:23:16.320 In order to do that, they have to know about those things, and they're not being taught.

00:23:48.340 Okay, so welcome back to the program.
00:24:11.780 We know now that Bank of America gave a list to the FBI of people who used their cards in D.C. or around D.C.
00:24:23.400 in the days leading up to and after and the day, January 6th.
00:24:29.240 This is remarkable.
00:24:32.280 They weren't given a warrant.
00:24:34.040 They volunteered all of the information on anyone who was using their Bank of America card in the D.C. area on those days.
00:24:44.480 Now, in case you don't know, that's wildly against the law.
00:24:50.020 According to federal regulations, no government authority may have access or obtain copies or the information contained in any financial records of any customer from a financial institution
00:25:06.340 unless financial records are reasonably described and the customer authorizes access,
00:25:13.900 there's an appropriate administrative subpoena or summons,
00:25:18.040 there's a qualified search warrant,
00:25:20.700 there is an appropriate judicial subpoena,
00:25:23.300 and there is appropriate written request from an authorized government authority.
00:25:29.540 None of those things happened.
00:25:32.540 So, what does it mean?
00:25:34.820 It means that you can sue the Bank of America.
00:25:38.400 Have you seen, I mean, I know mesothelioma is a very big deal.
00:25:44.820 Mesothelioma, right?
00:25:45.940 Mesothelioma.
00:25:46.520 I know so many people with mesothelioma.
00:25:50.740 It's just like over and over.
00:25:51.840 It seems to be the biggest thing that's ever happened if you watch cable news.
00:25:55.820 It's constant commercials.
00:25:57.180 Where are the attorneys that are saying,
00:25:59.800 we could make a gold mine on this?
00:26:01.940 If you, as a financial institution, break these rules,
00:26:08.960 you can seek damages.
00:26:11.700 Not only sue them for, you know, any harm that might have come to you,
00:26:18.200 but you can sue for actual damages.
00:26:21.140 And the damage rate is $100 per violation.
00:26:25.220 Do you know how many times they violated this?
00:26:27.040 How many records were violated?
00:26:28.920 Court costs, reasonable attorney fees, and any punitive damages
00:26:34.180 the court allows for intentional violations.
00:26:37.780 Why is there not an attorney working on this?
00:26:43.140 Attorneys don't really like to be overly litigious, Glenn.
00:26:46.160 They're just not interested in that.
00:26:48.120 Yeah.
00:26:48.300 Yeah.
00:26:48.560 Okay.
00:26:49.020 Well, you have three years to file, so hurry, hurry,
00:26:53.480 because we now know that that is, it is happening.
00:26:57.280 And you can't trust anyone anymore.
00:27:01.420 Listen to this.
00:27:02.120 You know, the media or the government is now saying
00:27:06.140 that we've got to oversee social media.
00:27:09.580 We've got to take care of it because of misinformation.
00:27:12.500 And that's very dangerous.
00:27:14.000 Listen to this.
00:27:14.880 Tell me if this isn't disinformation.
00:27:17.820 Cut one.
00:27:18.460 This is the NAACP of Florida.
00:27:20.640 On the economic diversification front, in just the last few years,
00:27:24.920 Florida has moved into the number one spot in the United States
00:27:29.220 for black-owned businesses.
00:27:31.120 How do you address that with this new ban?
00:27:35.060 First of all, that's propaganda language.
00:27:37.340 So you can spin whatever language you would like to have.
00:27:41.120 The policies that he had put in place are harmful policies
00:27:44.700 to far too many individuals.
00:27:46.600 So wait, wait, it's propaganda?
00:27:51.060 No, that's a fact from the Florida Chamber of Commerce,
00:27:54.740 which is not exactly a conservative organization.
00:27:58.640 They're number one.
00:27:59.640 That's propaganda.
00:28:01.280 So you've got to give the United States some teeth
00:28:07.420 because they've got to stop this dangerous propaganda.
00:28:09.980 Not that.
00:28:11.200 Not that.
00:28:12.600 That's not disinformation or misinformation.
00:28:14.780 But other things that you'll find in media and social media,
00:28:19.200 you know, generally conservative,
00:28:21.740 that's disinformation.
00:28:23.380 And it's harmful.
00:28:24.220 There's a surgical critique of the policies, too,
00:28:27.140 when you say basically,
00:28:28.900 look, that's propaganda and it's bad.
00:28:32.600 Okay, well, thank you for this deep explanation
00:28:34.960 as to why these policies are bad
00:28:36.780 because that doesn't seem to be hurting Florida all that much.
00:28:40.000 And, of course, the misinformation thing goes on and on and on and on.
00:28:43.040 I mean, there is a lot of misinformation out there.
00:28:45.680 Seemingly, the people who are constantly trying to point it out
00:28:47.800 are the ones making it.
00:28:50.340 Have you noticed that?
00:28:51.420 Yes, I have.
00:28:52.080 That's not even one of the things.
00:28:53.520 There's a new advisory out from the Surgeon General.
00:28:58.200 Have you heard about this?
00:28:59.700 This is...
00:29:00.360 On social media, right?
00:29:02.000 Yes.
00:29:02.020 Surgeon General warning.
00:29:03.880 Cigarettes can give you cancer.
00:29:05.140 Also, don't let your kids on social media.
00:29:07.340 That's basically where we are now.
00:29:09.520 And...
00:29:09.720 I agree with it.
00:29:10.420 So, believe me, I'm totally with you.
00:29:13.380 You should not.
00:29:14.160 Don't...
00:29:14.680 The biggest mistake is kids went into high school
00:29:18.680 and they had to have a tablet and a phone
00:29:21.920 and it spirals out of control fast.
00:29:25.780 Give it up by not taking it up.
00:29:27.740 That's what I always say.
00:29:28.660 That's right.
00:29:28.700 Good for you.
00:29:30.120 But it's true in that there's...
00:29:32.780 It causes all sorts of problems.
00:29:34.200 The Surgeon General warning came out
00:29:35.420 and they do have some benefits of social media.
00:29:38.380 They have one, almost a page of benefits
00:29:40.720 and then six, five or six pages of...
00:29:43.060 Give me some of the benefits.
00:29:44.540 I mean, they're really reaching here.
00:29:46.800 You know, they're more connected
00:29:47.960 to what's going on in their friends' lives.
00:29:50.160 All right.
00:29:50.620 I mean, yeah.
00:29:51.760 Social media does work that way, you know,
00:29:53.700 if you use it that way, which not everyone does.
00:29:55.760 They have...
00:29:57.880 They like to have a place to show their creative side.
00:30:01.180 Okay.
00:30:01.780 You know, like you put your art on Instagram, right?
00:30:03.880 I mean, that helps you expose your creative side a little bit.
00:30:06.800 There might be some other exposing going on.
00:30:10.060 But go ahead.
00:30:10.880 It depends on what social media you're on.
00:30:12.260 Right.
00:30:12.600 And then, again, like,
00:30:15.640 some in this audience might not find this to be necessarily positive.
00:30:18.760 Some might not.
00:30:19.480 Yes, I would say.
00:30:20.700 The buffering effects against stress
00:30:24.480 that online social support from peers may provide
00:30:27.200 can be especially important to youth
00:30:28.920 who are often marginalized,
00:30:30.720 including racial, ethnic, and sexual, and gender minorities.
00:30:34.700 For example, studies have shown
00:30:36.280 that social media may support the mental health
00:30:39.340 and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual,
00:30:43.420 transgender, queer, intersex, and other youths
00:30:47.060 by enabling peer connection, identity development,
00:30:50.700 and management of social support.
00:30:52.860 Yeah.
00:30:53.520 And, like, this is why this is, yes, it is doing that.
00:30:57.060 It can do that.
00:30:57.320 Because society and social media are just pushing that,
00:31:02.340 and that's what's harming our kids.
00:31:04.440 That's why 30% of our kids are like,
00:31:06.460 I'm transgender.
00:31:07.780 Right.
00:31:08.240 No, they're not.
00:31:09.060 No, they're not.
00:31:10.220 Or, no, but I think that is a way of stating
00:31:15.780 our critique of social media.
00:31:18.800 Yes, it is.
00:31:19.220 It is.
00:31:19.700 Yes, I mean, saying that it's helping their well-being
00:31:22.720 and supporting their, what was the, I love this term,
00:31:27.740 the, where is it, identity development.
00:31:32.740 In other words, they don't have these identities,
00:31:35.800 and then they help them get developed on social media.
00:31:38.880 Well, yeah, I kind of agree with that statement.
00:31:41.320 I'm not looking at it as a benefit of social media, however.
00:31:44.080 My father used to always say the most powerful words in any language is,
00:31:47.700 I am blank, whatever that blank is.
00:31:50.960 And he used to tell me when I was a kid,
00:31:52.740 you have to fill in that blank because there's a whole world of people
00:31:59.140 that want to fill it in for you.
00:32:01.500 And that's what they're saying is a good thing.
00:32:04.920 They'll help you with your identity.
00:32:07.340 No, no.
00:32:09.240 Look at that.
00:32:10.100 Look how far we've come from my father's teachings of,
00:32:13.100 don't let anyone else define your identity.
00:32:17.320 Yeah.
00:32:17.660 You define it.
00:32:18.520 Your dad should have written Atomic Habits because he,
00:32:23.260 that's a big part of what that talks about.
00:32:24.700 Is it really?
00:32:25.320 Yeah, because like, you know, one of the, you know,
00:32:27.120 it's one of the biggest selling improvement books out there.
00:32:30.520 And one of the concepts in there is like,
00:32:32.240 you can't think of yourself as like, I want to run three times a week.
00:32:35.660 You have to think of it as I am a runner.
00:32:37.980 Yes.
00:32:38.420 Right?
00:32:38.880 Yes.
00:32:39.400 That's who I am.
00:32:40.140 That's part of my identity.
00:32:41.520 Yes.
00:32:41.740 It's who I am as a person.
00:32:43.360 I am a good parent.
00:32:44.600 I am a good, you know, steward of my money.
00:32:48.520 Those types of things.
00:32:49.500 It's just a way of thinking a little bit different.
00:32:51.500 It's not trying to complete a task.
00:32:53.020 It's just part of who you are.
00:32:54.640 And you realize that your life,
00:32:55.940 those are the things you actually succeed on doing.
00:32:58.200 Yes.
00:32:58.740 And so, but I mean, that is, I think, something that is,
00:33:02.360 that goes into this.
00:33:03.140 You start.
00:33:03.760 So that's a good thing.
00:33:05.120 What are the bad things?
00:33:06.580 Oh my gosh.
00:33:07.180 It's too long to summarize, but everything you've heard,
00:33:09.640 I mean, depression, you know, insecurity for kids,
00:33:16.260 self-harm, you know, suicide, it goes on and on and on.
00:33:21.020 The whole list.
00:33:21.820 You talked to Tristan Harris just the other day,
00:33:23.620 and I know you mostly spent on time on AI.
00:33:27.200 Yeah.
00:33:27.520 But he's the guy who's laid this stuff out really well.
00:33:30.820 And how it happens, you know,
00:33:33.380 they put these features in like infinite scrolling.
00:33:36.420 Like what on earth would the point of that be?
00:33:38.840 Do you remember back in the day when social media was just,
00:33:41.840 you'd scroll and you'd get to the end of your feed
00:33:43.560 and it would just stop, right?
00:33:45.140 Like that's how it used to be.
00:33:46.660 Yes.
00:33:46.960 It's how it was designed to be initially until they realized,
00:33:49.320 well, if we put a stop sign in, people will stop.
00:33:52.400 So why take the stop signs out?
00:33:54.700 You know, constantly, instead of giving people updates,
00:33:57.980 like the benefits, they said, hey,
00:33:59.520 you can keep in touch with your friends.
00:34:01.020 Well, you used to follow a bunch of your friends
00:34:02.320 and you'd see the updates and then it would be over
00:34:03.740 and you'd be at the end of your feed and you get off.
00:34:05.660 Well, instead, well, let's just start suggesting people
00:34:07.820 that aren't their friends.
00:34:09.500 You know what I think?
00:34:10.060 That might have similar interests.
00:34:10.940 I think part of this problem is the humans are not meant
00:34:19.720 to have this many friends.
00:34:23.260 Yeah.
00:34:23.560 You know, it's like a business.
00:34:25.760 Once you go over 50 people, a business starts to get a little shaky.
00:34:32.340 It's hard to keep it under control.
00:34:33.420 Right.
00:34:33.760 At 150, you really need a team to do it.
00:34:37.880 But you're not meant to have a thousand friends.
00:34:42.200 You're not meant to have, I think, I mean,
00:34:45.640 how many friends do you think the average person has?
00:34:49.160 I mean, real friends.
00:34:51.480 I mean, probably 10 or less.
00:34:53.840 Yeah.
00:34:54.280 I think 10 is probably high.
00:34:56.280 Real good friends.
00:34:57.740 And you have an acquaintance,
00:34:58.720 a circle of friends that you might keep in touch with here and there.
00:35:01.600 Right.
00:35:01.760 Or go out every once in a while with.
00:35:03.040 But real friends that you're, you know, in touch with a lot and really care about every
00:35:08.120 aspect of their lives and all that.
00:35:09.700 I mean, you're probably 10 or less.
00:35:11.260 Yeah.
00:35:11.840 And sometimes that includes family members as well.
00:35:15.000 Sure.
00:35:15.240 So that's about, I think, what we are used to having, what we should have.
00:35:22.120 But our kids are, quote unquote, friends of friends of friends.
00:35:29.100 So you're getting stuff from your friend's friend who you don't know.
00:35:36.240 You're not really friends with them.
00:35:37.940 You're a friend friend.
00:35:39.000 You know what I mean?
00:35:39.680 You don't have any idea how they narrow their circle of friends down.
00:35:44.680 And I just don't.
00:35:45.600 I think it is overwhelming.
00:35:47.660 It also ruins regular friendships.
00:35:51.620 It does.
00:35:52.100 My wife talks about this all the time.
00:35:53.940 And then, you know, she posts, she posts on social media often, updates about what she's
00:35:59.060 doing.
00:35:59.460 And then she, you know, realizes she hasn't talked to like one of her close friends in
00:36:03.540 weeks and they get in touch and they don't have tons to talk about because both of them
00:36:09.360 have been constantly flooding social media messages about every aspect of their lives
00:36:13.220 at each other.
00:36:14.540 They don't discuss them, but they see them.
00:36:16.340 So they know there's no reason to talk about what our daughter did two weeks ago because
00:36:21.720 they've already heard all of that information, right?
00:36:24.800 There's no stories to update each other on.
00:36:27.400 You know, there's there's no conversations to be had quickly.
00:36:30.400 What is the Surgeon General suggesting?
00:36:32.100 Um, we blow up the Silicon Valley, which is what they tried to do in a view of a kill.
00:36:37.420 They tried to put it underwater, causing an earthquake.
00:36:40.160 And if they would have been successful.
00:36:41.920 If Zoran Industries would have just been successful.
00:36:45.300 This is a lovely psalm.
00:36:47.280 All right.
00:36:47.700 Let me tell you about pre-born.
00:36:49.380 You and I have to speak up for those who can't speak for themselves.
00:36:53.240 And that is the unborn.
00:36:55.500 Pre-born is truly doing the work of God.
00:36:59.000 They save babies.
00:37:00.260 They love mothers.
00:37:01.500 This is a organization I am so proud to be a part of and to know these people.

00:38:07.780 When you buy clothing, either online or in person, no doubt you know that much of it
00:38:18.500 you come across is made either somewhere else besides America or is made out of products
00:38:23.480 that come from somewhere else.
00:38:25.400 American Giant thinks that model doesn't work very well, especially when we have the resources
00:38:29.540 in this country to make American clothes right here in America.
00:38:33.400 It is possible and that means every bit of material, every stitch, every rivet right
00:38:38.040 here in America.

00:39:36.820 Welcome to the broadcast.
00:39:48.780 Tim Poole is joining us here in just a few minutes.
00:39:51.540 He is host of Tim Cass IRL.
00:39:55.200 And he's a guy who used to be a liberal.
00:39:58.460 And now I think we're probably too liberal for him.
00:40:02.140 Uh, he is, uh, he moved into West Virginia and has not looked back.
00:40:09.000 And he is, he is right now talking about how all of our major cities are turning into
00:40:16.620 Gotham and they are.
00:40:18.200 And he's a guy who, uh, who, uh, you know, lives what he says on this.
00:40:23.440 I mean, every person I've talked to, I've talked to several people who've gone on with
00:40:26.920 Tim on a show and it's like the process described to get to the place where he does the show is
00:40:32.140 fascinating.
00:40:33.120 Yeah.
00:40:33.340 I mean, the bag over your head is a little much, but the bag of a van.
00:40:37.880 Uh, he's invited me on several times and it's like, I just, it's impossible for me to get
00:40:43.660 to West Virginia and then, you know, into a van with a bag on my head.
00:40:48.780 Yeah.
00:40:48.940 And then you're in a trunk for a while, which is, they do have the trunk release cord, but
00:40:54.460 they say, don't push it.
00:40:55.780 Yeah.
00:40:55.860 You can though count the number of bridges you go over because the tires sound different.
00:41:01.080 There you go.
00:41:01.480 But I mean, he, that's someone who really believes, you know, it's time to get away from these
00:41:07.620 cities and it's hard to watching them to sing to disintegrate in front of our eyes.
00:41:11.740 It's difficult to come to a different conclusion.
00:41:15.660 Oh, you can't, I just don't know how, I mean, it was like I was saying with evil.
00:41:20.480 I don't understand if you don't see evil now at our doorstep, not bad things.
00:41:26.320 Evil is being unleashed.
00:41:28.380 You haven't walked through a target recently.
00:41:32.080 And I think, you know, Glenn, the self-fulfilling prophecy here essentially happens because sane
00:41:39.440 people leave.
00:41:41.800 Yeah.
00:41:42.420 And then who's left to elect the next person?
00:41:45.580 Insane people.
00:41:47.140 Yeah.
00:41:47.600 And it's happening in all of these cities where you keep looking at it and you're like,
00:41:51.980 why would they, why would they put, elect this crazy person after everything that's happened?
00:41:57.660 Well, all the other people have either moved out of town or were shot.
00:42:02.320 So there's, the only people left are crazy people to vote.
00:42:05.680 These insane people.
00:42:06.680 New York has gone nuts.
00:42:08.040 He is, Tim Poole has raised a lot of money for Daniel Penny's legal defense fund.
00:42:13.680 Oh, yeah.
00:42:14.140 Uh, and that, this is, what are you supposed to teach your kids?
00:42:20.840 What are you supposed to teach your boys?
00:42:23.840 How are you supposed to teach anything other than sit down and shut up?
00:42:28.280 Don't do anything.
00:42:29.100 No matter what it is.
00:42:30.380 That, that's, that's a very, very bad lesson.
00:42:34.620 Tim Poole joins us next.
00:42:35.880 Hey, Stu.
00:42:40.440 Is that the type of state of emergency that they're, uh, that my Patriot Supply exists
00:42:45.160 to prevent?
00:42:45.960 Are you kidding me?
00:42:46.640 Like, if they put in school choice that you can go get your emergency food.
00:42:50.060 I'm already in my shelter.
00:42:51.360 Right.
00:42:51.600 Okay, good.
00:42:52.220 Okay.
00:42:52.780 I'm already locked up in my shelter.
00:42:55.040 I'm just, I'm just here with all of my food from my Patriot Supply because of the state
00:43:01.320 of emergency that's going on.
00:43:03.120 Yeah.
00:43:03.720 Notice he's not in my shelter.
00:43:05.020 I'm not in the shelter because I don't think school choice is a state of emergency.
00:43:08.220 I think it's a real positive.
00:43:09.340 Yeah.
00:43:10.080 Really?
00:43:10.620 Yeah.
00:43:11.160 Okay.
00:43:11.580 Well, I'm here behind the vault doors here.
00:43:14.300 Nobody's getting to me and I've got, I've got at least three months food for every member
00:43:19.040 of my family.
00:43:19.900 In fact, Stu, I did buy an extra kit for you.
00:43:23.020 Oh, thank you.
00:43:23.520 I'm not opening the door though.
00:43:25.400 So.
00:43:25.740 So how is that going to benefit me?
00:43:26.960 I don't know, but we've got an extra three months, uh, in here.

00:44:05.500 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:44:31.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:44:39.740 I don't know.
00:44:40.960 Uh, I don't think our cities are turning into Gotham.
00:44:45.340 I mean, well, we don't have the big bat light yet.
00:44:48.320 So, but other than that, other than that, I mean, that's the last piece for it to officially
00:44:53.360 become Gotham.
00:44:54.500 Um, we need a caped crusader with a bat light, um, but the crime we got, what the hell is
00:45:02.560 happening?
00:45:03.660 Tim pool is here host of Tim cast IRL.
00:45:07.240 Uh, you can follow him on Tim, Tim cast.com.
00:45:11.700 This guy is taking Gotham on and doing some amazing things, raising money for, uh, Daniel
00:45:21.060 Penny's defense fund.
00:45:22.600 This guy, if, if this guy goes to jail, what does that teach all of us?
00:45:29.700 What does that teach our children?
00:45:32.600 Tim pool checks in with us in 60 seconds.
00:45:34.620 Right now, you might not know it, know it, but cyber criminals often add insult to injury.
00:45:40.660 When your personal information is stolen through something like a data breach, it often ends
00:45:45.500 up getting sold in bulk to the dark web for as little as 10 cents.
00:45:50.820 Come on, really?
00:45:52.980 So you're not only losing the information to thieves, but they have the gall to sell it
00:45:57.320 cheap.
00:45:57.720 And I am very offended by that.
00:46:00.140 It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft affect your life.

00:46:47.040 How are you?
00:46:47.560 Well, I'm good.
00:46:48.820 I want to come on to your show.
00:46:50.760 You've invited me a few times, but I don't know, getting there and the bag over my head
00:46:56.860 and being thrown into the back of the van.
00:46:59.800 Yeah, we're up in the top of the mountain, so we've got to keep it a secret, right?
00:47:03.620 Yeah.
00:47:04.420 How are you?
00:47:06.320 Pretty good.
00:47:06.960 Pretty good.
00:47:07.400 I mean, things are going great out here.
00:47:09.000 We're expanding quite a bit.
00:47:10.120 We've got a new studio that's popping up.
00:47:12.200 Very excited for that.
00:47:13.160 Other than that, just doing the show, talking about the news, and then, I guess, to a certain
00:47:17.760 degree, giving my money away to people who need it more than I do.
00:47:21.060 Good for you.
00:47:21.900 Good for you.
00:47:22.580 What you're doing with Daniel Perry is so—or Daniel Penny is so—
00:47:27.940 Penny Perry's the other guy.
00:47:29.100 Yeah.
00:47:30.800 Penny is—what you're doing is so important.
00:47:33.160 This guy, I can't believe we live in America today that is going after this guy.
00:47:40.860 Well, I was on the other side of it, to a certain degree, when the story first comes
00:47:47.500 out, because I've been just really frustrated with what I view as not enough people standing
00:47:53.860 up for our moral values or our moral framework.
00:47:58.760 You know, and so with, say, Kyle Rittenhouse, for instance, 100%, we've got to save this guy.
00:48:03.980 With Daniel Penny, I first said, you know what?
00:48:07.460 Obviously, this guy should not be going to prison.
00:48:09.320 He did the right thing.
00:48:10.080 He was defending others.
00:48:11.680 But if you choose to live in these cities and you are not pushing back against this—the
00:48:17.340 changes, if you're voting for these people, I have no sympathy.
00:48:21.360 And so that was what I was saying the week prior.
00:48:24.180 And then I had a few conversations.
00:48:26.140 Some people made some good arguments to me.
00:48:28.320 And I realized, you know what?
00:48:30.060 There is a very, very good reason to actually be in this fight to make sure Penny does not
00:48:34.980 go to prison.
00:48:35.900 And the first is, you know, I felt kind of bad to see everybody rallying to save this
00:48:39.360 guy from prison.
00:48:40.040 Here I am being this kind of dick, like, ah, screw you.
00:48:42.160 You made your own bed.
00:48:43.560 But I thought about two things.
00:48:44.740 One, someone said to me, it's not so easy just to leave a city.
00:48:49.080 When, you know, Tim, when you say, get out of the cities because they're getting bad
00:48:53.080 and the Democrat policies are soft on crime, it's getting worse, you understand some people
00:48:59.280 can't just up and leave.
00:49:00.220 And my response was always, well, it may be very, very hard, and it may be the hardest
00:49:04.240 thing you've ever done, but you certainly can move out of these cities.
00:49:07.580 And then someone made a really good point.
00:49:08.760 They said, my wife left me through no choice of my own, and my kids are here, and I will
00:49:13.660 not leave them behind.
00:49:15.240 And I'm like, OK, that's actually a good point.
00:49:17.400 There really are circumstances where people, they want to stay there.
00:49:20.980 They want to push back.
00:49:21.920 They don't want the cities to fall into this chaotic garbage.
00:49:25.820 And, you know, I was a bit short-sighted on that, and I can respect that.
00:49:29.400 But then the better argument was, if Daniel Penny loses this fight, then the self-defense,
00:49:35.540 then self-defense in this country erodes, and it's only a matter of time before it comes
00:49:40.240 to your suburbs and then to your more rural areas.
00:49:43.660 And that was the most compelling thing to me.
00:49:45.440 I was like, well, look, I've always agreed this guy is a hero who's done the right thing.
00:49:49.100 But actually, that's a really good point.
00:49:50.980 So when I went and, you know, I wake up one day and I'm looking at the fundraiser, I
00:49:54.940 said, basically, because I was such a dick.
00:49:58.760 We're on an FCC airways.
00:50:00.960 I just want you to be careful.
00:50:02.300 That's all right.
00:50:04.400 I should probably lead out on this one.
00:50:08.900 And so then I decided to, you know, I looked at what the current numbers were, and I said,
00:50:14.120 I can afford to do better.
00:50:15.400 So I put up $20,000 for Daniel Penny, kind of in a, I should have donated in the first
00:50:22.060 place.
00:50:22.440 I was wrong to say, you're on your own.
00:50:24.880 And I do want this guy to win.
00:50:26.620 I do want self-defense to win.
00:50:28.680 And so I put up the 20 grand and I said, I know there's a lot of people who can probably
00:50:35.280 give more than me.
00:50:36.500 And I challenge them to do so.
00:50:38.500 And there's another reason on top of it.
00:50:40.620 Let's, let's send a message that the protests, which triggered this man's arrest are meaningless
00:50:46.520 because you have, you have in New York city, these protesters come out, they're violent,
00:50:51.520 they get arrested and they use that to garner sympathy.
00:50:54.140 And yet this, our reporter who was simply standing there filming was physically attacked
00:50:59.720 by these protesters.
00:51:01.300 And I said, I want to send a message that these protests don't work.
00:51:05.300 And so that means we have to counter those protests with something more powerful.
00:51:09.240 And that's winning the legal battle here for Daniel Penny.
00:51:12.320 Well, I, I just, I look at this story and I think to myself, what you said about it, come
00:51:19.640 to your town next, you, this is going against all of human nature.
00:51:25.580 And this is what progressives do in the end.
00:51:27.500 It's always going against human nature.
00:51:29.840 It is saying that you don't have a right to defend yourself or protect others.
00:51:35.300 And for a guy to stand up, I mean, the thing of this, who was his name?
00:51:40.060 Todd, uh, Todd Beamer.
00:51:41.780 Wasn't he the guy, the let's roll guy.
00:51:44.260 All he did was exactly what Todd Beamer did after nine 11 or during on nine 11, where he
00:51:51.460 was sitting in the plane, the hijackers take over and he's like, let's go.
00:51:55.160 Come on.
00:51:55.620 It's us or them.
00:51:57.120 And they took him down and we celebrated, we celebrated that guy.
00:52:01.840 Here's another guy.
00:52:03.100 I don't think he wished him ill.
00:52:05.080 He just wanted to stop him from doing any damage or hassling people.
00:52:10.860 And, uh, and we don't have a right to do that.
00:52:13.280 If he loses, you're exactly right.
00:52:16.580 We have to sit there and take it.
00:52:18.440 There's also, um, I believe, I can't remember how long, long ago it was in New York.
00:52:24.380 Another man was being violent on the subway and getting people's faces and a man put him
00:52:29.420 in a chokehold and subdued him.
00:52:31.120 And he got interviewed on television as a hero.
00:52:33.320 So something changed or has been changing over the past several years.
00:52:37.240 And I think, well, I can certainly point the finger at these far left extremists and, and
00:52:43.240 these Soros DAs and these policies.
00:52:45.320 I think the bigger problem is not that evil exists, but it's that good men do nothing.
00:52:50.960 And so in a place like New York city, I wonder why it is the people of New York city, knowing
00:52:56.580 that crime is, is getting out of hand.
00:52:58.680 Why aren't people protesting for penny?
00:53:01.280 That, that was initially what got me on sort of the negative side of this, like, look, the
00:53:06.660 people of New York city come out and protest to have this man arrested.
00:53:10.060 This is what they want.
00:53:11.800 If the people of New York city wanted something different, they would be standing up for Daniel
00:53:16.960 penny, but they don't do it.
00:53:18.580 Now, all that aside, my ultimate conclusion is we, we, we need to, we need to be that support
00:53:24.440 then we need to help this man win this legal case, lest it come our way, always be standing
00:53:30.040 up for people who are doing the right thing.
00:53:31.700 Lest one day it is you on the firing line and no one speaking up for you.
00:53:37.280 Well, I just think it's, go ahead.
00:53:39.140 I was going to say, I think it's interesting that where, where is the shared conviction
00:53:44.820 and moral framework of the American population?
00:53:48.180 We can see it with this movement to provide resources to penny for his legal defense, but
00:53:53.620 we don't see it on the ground the way the left does.
00:53:56.140 So not only are the left fundraising like crazy when it comes to political issues, they're
00:54:01.980 out there getting physically violent and organizing massive protests and voter initiatives.
00:54:07.500 And that, that seems to be the stronger organizational power.
00:54:10.660 We've got to counter that.
00:54:11.580 We've got to wake people up.
00:54:13.060 We've got to tell people that the only thing required for evil to triumph is that good people
00:54:17.780 do nothing.
00:54:18.520 And we need those good people to stand up.
00:54:20.600 So I think the, the problem is not that people are unwilling to stand up.
00:54:26.680 They're unwilling to stand up under these conditions, because I think the January 6th scared people
00:54:33.460 enough that if they go stand up, there might be an FBI informant there.
00:54:38.240 That's going to start something.
00:54:39.560 Uh, they, if, if the left comes in, starts a fight, they're going to be ones that they're
00:54:45.640 called the terrorist.
00:54:46.700 I think people are much more comfortable being at home.
00:54:50.000 They feel safer being at home giving, uh, than they do marching.
00:54:54.840 And that is a problem, but I don't see a Martin Luther King that is leading that.
00:55:00.540 You know, freedom, freedom isn't free.
00:55:02.860 And if this is how we, as the American people choose to progress, that is to say, the average
00:55:08.720 person says, you know what?
00:55:10.340 It's easier for me to stay home and keep my head down.
00:55:13.480 Then, then the next generation, the generation after that, things will just keep getting worse.
00:55:18.340 But the, I think back to the greatest generation, I think back to the men and women who fought
00:55:23.920 in the American revolution.
00:55:25.480 These are people who said, if I don't do it, who will?
00:55:28.720 And if I don't do it, what am I leaving for my children?
00:55:31.020 But now it seems very much so that that mentality certainly exists among these leftists who
00:55:37.840 believe crazy things, but the average American, the regular person says, just leave me alone.
00:55:44.540 And this allows the more extreme elements of the left to run rampant, capture institutions.
00:55:49.940 And to be honest, I am fairly optimistic though.
00:55:52.580 I think, uh, freedom, personal responsibility, meritocracy, I think all that's going to win.
00:55:57.400 I think this is just a great challenge before us in our, in our current decade or generation,
00:56:02.420 but I'm, I'm, I'm pretty sure we got this one.
00:56:05.440 I do.
00:56:05.960 I, I don't, I don't see the chaos of the left functioning properly.
00:56:10.480 There's a fire that is raging, but I think, I think it'll, I think we will stop it.
00:56:16.140 I do.
00:56:16.560 I have a sneaking suspicion that that is true.
00:56:20.400 I wasn't there a year ago.
00:56:22.540 Um, but I am there now.
00:56:24.740 I mean, it's going to be a race to the finish.
00:56:27.040 Um, and I'm not sure for, you know, I, I, I wouldn't want to bet my house on who's going
00:56:33.300 to cross that finish line first, but, uh, they are so out in the open now.
00:56:40.060 And the things that they are pushing are so crazy that I just don't think that America
00:56:46.300 Americans will continue to take it.
00:56:49.840 Maybe I'm wrong.
00:56:50.720 Yeah, I, I, I agree.
00:56:51.900 No, I do think so.
00:56:53.420 Um, I think what we're seeing with penny, I think this is a sign of people saying, okay,
00:57:00.860 okay, maybe I do need to be active because it will come to your house.
00:57:05.420 And I, you know, I talked about this several years ago, I said, when the mob is outside
00:57:09.860 protesting and screaming, the police will have a decision.
00:57:12.960 They'll say, do we arrest the man in his home, one man, or do we try to arrest 200 violent
00:57:21.100 rioters?
00:57:21.960 And they're going to say, look, it's easier to keep the peace by arresting the one man.
00:57:26.440 And you know what?
00:57:26.940 We saw that happen in Milwaukee a couple of years ago, a large group of black lives matter
00:57:31.140 protesters had set for, I should say rioters at this point, set fire to a house.
00:57:35.900 Twice.
00:57:36.820 Because they were demanding that these two young girls be released who weren't even
00:57:40.820 there.
00:57:41.220 It was just mob mentality.
00:57:43.200 This same group, mostly the same group, same organizers showed up to a man's house and
00:57:49.020 began a similar protest.
00:57:51.300 When he brandished his shotgun from inside his own home as a warning to these people,
00:57:56.060 like what previously burned on a house, I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, but
00:57:59.420 when he did, the police came to the cheers of black lives matter and arrested the man in
00:58:05.180 his own home and carried him away and they celebrated it.
00:58:08.000 And it was interesting because we said, I thought black lives matter wanted to defund
00:58:10.540 the police.
00:58:11.040 No, no, no.
00:58:12.140 They want to remove any police who are willing to support American values, self-defense.
00:58:17.360 They arrested a guy in his own house.
00:58:19.600 And I warned people, if you don't stand up, if you're not active, the cops will simply
00:58:24.840 say, look, you don't ever protest.
00:58:28.020 There is no political pressure from you.
00:58:30.300 The violence and the fear that we feel is coming from the far left.
00:58:33.860 So we're going to do what they want.
00:58:35.700 We got to send a message.
00:58:37.520 We're stopping that.
00:58:38.340 We're saying, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:40.220 No, we're going to stand up against this and we're going to put pressure in the right way,
00:58:44.020 which is through the legal process.
00:58:45.720 Yes.
00:58:46.360 To put an end to the violence and the chaos.
00:58:48.740 Good for you, Tim.
00:58:49.640 Tim, thank you so much.
00:58:50.820 Great to talk to you and keep up the good work.
00:58:52.940 Thanks for having me.
00:58:53.460 You bet.
00:58:54.020 I appreciate it.
00:58:54.560 Tim Poole, host of TimCast at TimCast.com or YouTube.
00:58:59.060 Back in just a second.
00:59:00.440 Dealing with aches and pains in your everyday life can be exhausting.
00:59:03.600 Believe me, I know it used to be that I was in pain beyond my own imagination.
00:59:09.540 And I thought, I'm just going to, I just, this is the way my life is going to be.
00:59:14.540 And I just can't do it every day.
00:59:16.960 Well, my wife talked me into trying relief factor.
00:59:22.500 I don't know.
00:59:23.320 I didn't think it would work for me because ibuprofen never works for me.
00:59:27.580 Inflammation.
00:59:28.180 Right.
00:59:28.600 I got it.
00:59:29.580 Well, this is not ibuprofen.
00:59:31.520 Ibuprofen attacks your inflammation one way.
00:59:33.920 This attacks it four different ways.
00:59:36.560 If you are really struggling with pain, would you just try this?
00:59:39.380 The three-week quick start.
00:59:40.740 It's $19.95.
00:59:42.100 It's a trial pack.
00:59:43.640 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor and about 70% of them go on to
00:59:47.680 order more.
00:59:48.740 It's relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief, 800, the number four relief,
00:59:55.400 relieffactor.com.
00:59:57.200 Feel the difference.
00:59:58.500 10 seconds.
00:59:59.160 Station ID.
00:59:59.780 So, there is a really great op-ed that came out from Peachy Keenan.
01:00:18.900 Do you know Peachy Keenan?
01:00:20.680 I don't know that I do.
01:00:22.080 Okay.
01:00:22.260 So, she's an American editor, contributing editor, and she's got a new book out.
01:00:27.580 She goes under the pseudonym of Peachy Keenan.
01:00:30.580 She does a lot of sarcastic stuff, and she has not come out on who she really is.
01:00:41.460 She's got a new book coming out, I think, in June or July, and that's when she's going
01:00:46.300 to reveal who she is, but her website is peachykeenanwrites.com, and she's written an op-ed for the Federalist,
01:00:59.440 The Lesson of Jordan Neely, Your Courage and Sacrifice Will Be Punished.
01:01:05.220 She, and I'm not sure how much of this is sarcastic, but she talks about what is it we're teaching our sons.
01:01:17.420 How do we teach our son?
01:01:20.600 What do we teach them?
01:01:23.400 In my world, he was a hero.
01:01:27.960 He was a hero.
01:01:28.980 He stands up.
01:01:31.820 He is not doing vengeance.
01:01:34.580 He's not filled with anger.
01:01:36.920 He puts him in the right position, puts his head back afterwards to recover.
01:01:42.280 It just, this guy died.
01:01:45.180 Well, sometimes that happens, and it wasn't his intent to do it, and now they're charging him with manslaughter.
01:01:55.120 No, we cannot be a society that lives in fear.
01:02:04.860 Weakness is strength.
01:02:06.700 Courage is hatred.
01:02:09.020 In the aftermath, I tweeted,
01:02:10.800 Strong, brave men enough to intervene publicly when deranged lunatics or terrifying people are going to be rounded up first.
01:02:19.520 This is brilliant strategy for the regime.
01:02:22.480 Pick off the bravest and most selfless heroes first.
01:02:26.100 Leave the cowards behind who will fall in line fast.
01:02:29.960 That's Peachy Keenan.
01:02:30.820 I come from that old school where, like, you just, you know, one of the ways to avoid really bad consequences, like the one the guy on the subway wound up dealing with, is to not engage in the behavior that causes them, right?
01:02:47.080 Like, if you don't want to be arrested, try not to commit crimes.
01:02:50.940 That doesn't mean that there are no exceptions to that rule.
01:02:55.240 If you don't want to get shot by a police officer, don't run away from police or fight with police officers.
01:03:01.240 Does that prevent every shooting?
01:03:02.660 Does that prevent every terrible thing that might happen?
01:03:05.160 Does that prevent every bad cop from doing something bad?
01:03:08.320 No.
01:03:08.780 But will it eliminate, I don't know, 99.6% of your problems?
01:03:13.260 Sure will.
01:03:15.080 You can't guard for every single negative consequence.
01:03:19.480 You could get stabbed on the subway not doing anything.
01:03:23.280 You could be just sitting there, reading a paper, and get stabbed or attacked, like this guy may very well have done if the other guy hadn't stepped in and stopped him.
01:03:32.980 But, like, if you don't want to get taken down by somebody who is trying to protect other people on the subway, you should try not threatening people on the subway.
01:03:43.280 Now, this person seemed to be in severe mental distress.
01:03:47.780 And that is a problem that is not the fault of the other people on the subway.
01:03:51.620 They don't have to deal with getting stabbed just because he's dealing with mental distress.
01:03:57.080 That's not their job.
01:03:58.280 Do you remember the name Simon Marshall?
01:04:02.580 You should.
01:04:03.600 Everybody should.
01:04:04.820 He's the guy who pushed the 40-year-old woman in front of the oncoming train at Times Square.
01:04:12.980 Okay, that just happened in 2022.
01:04:17.140 It's severe mental illness that's going on.
01:04:20.640 And this guy had a long list of criminal convictions, but they didn't put him in jail.
01:04:28.440 And so what does he do?
01:04:29.500 Takes an innocent woman and pushes her into it.
01:04:33.540 And if you could have stopped that, you would have.
01:04:39.700 But would you then have been the bad guy?
01:04:43.380 If you had to choke him out, would you be the bad guy from stopping him pushing a woman right in front of a train in Times Square?
01:04:51.860 And when you have to add that layer of calculation to that moment, a lot of times the good outcome doesn't happen.
01:04:57.620 Right.
01:04:57.860 Right.
01:04:58.340 People just say, I don't want to risk this.
01:05:00.820 They'll probably throw me in prison for saving this person.
01:05:03.140 And that's what they're trying to teach us right now.
01:05:06.140 We have Peachy Keenan on with us next.
01:05:08.900 What do we teach our boys?
01:05:11.360 How do we teach self-defense and to stand up for others?
01:05:16.880 We go there in just a minute.
01:05:19.060 Stand by.

01:06:55.480 In The Federalist, there is a great op-ed, The Lessons of Jordan Neely,
01:07:15.320 Your Courage and Sacrifice Will Be Punished.
01:07:18.520 I just want to give a few pieces of this.
01:07:21.360 We have Peach Keenan on with us in just a second.
01:07:23.500 She says, weakness is strength, courage is hatred.
01:07:27.300 In the aftermath, I tweeted, strong men brave enough to intervene publicly
01:07:31.140 when a deranged lunatic is terrifying people are going to be rounded up first.
01:07:35.460 It's brilliant.
01:07:36.580 It's a brilliant strategy for the regime.
01:07:38.400 Pick off the bravest and most selfless heroes first.
01:07:41.380 Leave the cowards behind who will all fall in line fast.
01:07:45.460 The worse is the subway Vikings fate.
01:07:48.360 The worse the Vikings fate is, the less likely any of us, the sane ones,
01:07:52.720 will be tempted to lift a finger when they come for us, our friends, or our neighbors.
01:07:56.920 If the Viking gets 20 years on Rikers Island, plus some prison rapes and beatings for good measure
01:08:02.220 as the guards look the other way, that'll teach you boys a lesson.
01:08:06.320 She goes on to talk about, in this terrible, ugly, upside-down, zero-trust society,
01:08:16.040 I have been forced to raise a family, and I have developed a new survival rule.
01:08:22.940 I have instructed my husband and son to be cowards.
01:08:26.940 That's right, to do nothing if they are in a situation where dangerous psycho is threatening violence on a stranger.
01:08:34.060 I've begged with them to sit on their hands, to be one of the people who just watches, runs away,
01:08:39.040 calls 911, it goes against everything in their bodies, but I want them with me, not dead or in jail.
01:08:50.740 She said, I feel like I have failed as a mother because I forgot to teach my sons to be cowards.
01:08:58.260 I'm hoping this is sarcasm, but Peachy Keenan is here with us.
01:09:05.320 Hi, Peachy.
01:09:06.660 Hi, Glenn.
01:09:07.460 How are you?
01:09:07.860 I'm really good, really good.
01:09:10.300 You have a lot of fans here at the program and also at The Blaze, so keep it up.
01:09:16.380 Thank you so much. Awesome. I love it.
01:09:18.700 So tell me, I mean, you talk about in this op-ed about your husband.
01:09:24.220 He took on a guy much bigger, and this guy was bothering you, and he won the fight, and you guys got married.
01:09:35.220 Oh, right. Yeah, I did mention that in an article.
01:09:37.860 I think he probably would rather I not bring that up. But yeah, he did. I was in a situation like that in New York City.
01:09:44.960 There was a very large, very drunk man who was in my face harassing me, wouldn't leave me alone.
01:09:51.120 We were outside a bar at night, you can imagine. And my husband just decided he just acted. And he took the guy down. I mean, you know, he wasn't like harmed that much. But, you know, he maybe got a little bloody nose and he left us alone and we got out of there.
01:10:07.500 And yeah, I, at first I was sort of horrified because my like, you know, my normal instincts as my, you know, I used to be this sort of like feminist, you know, liberal.
01:10:17.580 And so I was sort of like, oh, my gosh, you hurt him, you know, like, you're not supposed to do that.
01:10:24.580 But then later, I had, he kind of nursed his hand. I was like, you know, that was kind of, wow, that was, that was very macho. Like, okay, yeah, I will marry you.
01:10:34.500 I mean, it did sort of impress me a little bit, you know, like, this is a guy who can defend a woman. And that's in short supply these days.
01:10:42.000 And that's what we're supposed to do. But we have destroyed men so much that most are not going to get up. They're not. They're going to look the other way, hope somebody else is going to deal with it.
01:10:56.060 And I remember right after 9-11, I flew up to New York. I was on one of the first flights to New York. And there were only four of us on the plane. And one was this drunk bad guy.
01:11:11.700 And he stood up and he was arguing with the stewardess. And the other two men that were on board with me, we got up and walked to this guy. And the stewardess is like, no, no, no, don't. I've got it under control.
01:11:30.300 And we just looked at this guy like, you don't sit down. We'll force you to sit down. And there was this, this feeling of that's what you do. I mean, Todd, what was his name? Todd Beamer.
01:11:42.720 Todd Beamer, yeah.
01:11:43.600 Yeah, who ran and, and say, we don't do that now. Now we're being taught the exact opposite.
01:11:49.300 Yeah, I mean, for many years, you would get on a plane and guys I know would tell me every time I get on a plane, I'm looking around and like they're kind of, they were like kind of ready, you know, just in case there was another situation.
01:12:01.980 They were, they were ready to do what they had to do to save their own lives and to save strangers lives.
01:12:08.140 But now you can't because you're going to be filmed and you're, and you know, AOC is going to get the video and she's going to post it and she's going to call you a bad guy.
01:12:17.240 And so we live in this upside down world where, you know, safety is, you know, the only safety that they care about now is their constituents' safety from police, from good guys, from good Samaritans.
01:12:33.360 You know, they want to be safe from, from hate speech, from racism, but your actual physical safety, just going about your daily life is no one cares.
01:12:41.980 Like, get pushed in front of a train, you know, a violent psychopath on a subway, you know, those people in that car with, with, with Daniel Penny, they thanked him, you know, these were people of color, you know, he, they, they said it was a situation like no other.
01:12:57.360 They were, they were so grateful he intervened, but yeah, men, like men can't intervene anymore.
01:13:03.100 You know, people have been, masculinity has really been like totally neutered.
01:13:08.120 You know, literally, literally and figuratively, boys have been castrated.
01:13:13.420 I mean, let's just, that's what it is.
01:13:16.060 So tell me, what is, what do you think the fate, how do you think this is going to end?
01:13:23.360 You mean with Daniel Penny?
01:13:24.540 Yeah.
01:13:24.740 Yeah.
01:13:27.360 Oh my goodness.
01:13:28.340 I mean, it will, it's, what is it going to a grand jury in a few months?
01:13:31.500 I mean, just based on the witnesses statement, it seems crazy that they would, you know, that they would, you know, um,
01:13:39.280 Even go after him.
01:13:40.960 Yeah.
01:13:41.420 I mean, just, there's no evidence that he did anything, a racist, I mean, obviously, or intended to hurt him permanently to kill him, or obviously, it was just this crazy kind of freak accident.
01:13:52.320 And he had, he felt like he had no choice and his alternative was to sit there while this guy punched someone in the face or who knows what he would do.
01:14:00.300 No one knew, no one knew what he would do.
01:14:01.760 You can't predict.
01:14:02.460 And he just, he had a split second to decide and he acted, but you know, New York City is so crazy.
01:14:08.580 I mean, the fact that they even arrested him after the cops let him go is just tells you how crazy they are.
01:14:14.140 It's all ideological.
01:14:16.300 You know, they had Jordan Neely the other day with Al Sharpton in the, in the golden casket, just like I predicted, you know, this thing is so predictable, how this will play out, just Floyd part two, that it makes me very worried.
01:14:29.600 But, you know, luckily he has about two and a half million dollars worth of, of legal aid.
01:14:36.020 So, you know, we'll have to see.
01:14:37.460 So do you think, do you think that a jury in, even in Manhattan, the people of his peers will be people that have run the subways, you know, been on the subways recently and the subways are terrifying right now.
01:14:51.820 Terrifying.
01:14:52.420 Yeah.
01:14:53.540 Do you think that they would convict him?
01:14:55.660 Um, yeah, it really depends who he gets.
01:15:00.200 I mean, the whole, the whole notion of quote, a jury of your peers, I mean, that's like such a myth, like that's just gone.
01:15:05.360 Like think about who's living in Manhattan these days.
01:15:08.040 And his only hope is like people who, um, maybe kind of typical liberals, Biden voters or whatever, but they're people who are also in the real world who are being, dealing with these people on the subways.
01:15:19.420 And they may, they may reject the, the, the, the prosecution's argument totally, but you know, these people are real dirty.
01:15:28.460 They play real dirty.
01:15:29.800 And, um, if they, they just want to make it about, they want to put all white people on trial.
01:15:35.260 They want to put all race, anything racist that's ever happened on trial.
01:15:40.280 And this one guy is the fall guy, you know, it's sort of like reverse OJ.
01:15:43.660 So do you think this is, but do you think this is racist?
01:15:48.320 Do you think that they were, um, the city was afraid of the protesters or do you think this is racist or that they are sending a message to everybody?
01:16:00.460 You have no choice, but to sit down and take it, uh, probably a little of both, but I think primarily it's about distracting people from the real villain here, which is the city's total neglect of their giant homeless schizophrenic population and their complete inability to do anything about it.
01:16:23.040 And so this is their way of pointing the finger at the guy whose fault it is where at, meanwhile, Penny is just another victim in all of this.
01:16:31.500 And so is the, so was Jordan Neely and the real, the real villain, the real person who should be literally in prison for multiple murders are the authorities who let this happen, who let Michelle go get pushed in front of a train, you know, last year in New York city.
01:16:46.880 Um, who let, who lets women get raped and stabbed in New York city on subways in their apartments by, by men that they know about, they have long records.
01:16:56.620 They just let them go.
01:16:57.880 You know, these are the people who, these are the crimes that they should be held accountable for, but they never will.
01:17:03.960 And so instead they just have fat.
01:17:05.240 They found a convenient fall guy.
01:17:07.760 We're talking to Peachy Kinnon.
01:17:09.160 And she is the American editor, contributing editor, author of a book that comes out next month called domestic extremist.
01:17:16.940 One last question.
01:17:18.160 Are you, were you being serious about telling your husband and your son to sit down and don't do anything?
01:17:27.480 Um, you know, we've had this exact discussion.
01:17:29.600 I mean, it's something I live in fear of whenever my teenage sons leave the house, you know, they're driving around.
01:17:34.140 We live in a big city, um, you know, God forbid they run into the wrong, the wrong person, you know, um, they, they're Boy Scouts, you know, they've gone, they've almost to Eagle Scout level.
01:17:44.860 Their, their instinct is to defend and protect and, you know, be good.
01:17:49.320 They're, they're Catholics, they're, they're Christians, they're moral.
01:17:52.540 And I've actually had this discussion with them.
01:17:54.380 And just like, if there's a situation that is going sideways, get out of there, get out of there.
01:18:00.080 And my sons push back.
01:18:01.120 They're like, well, if there's someone, they're hurting someone, like I'm going to do something.
01:18:04.800 I'm like, well, look, if it's your little sister, if it's a little kid, like, yes, like that's a situation where maybe you should, you know, put yourself in, in grave danger.
01:18:14.560 But in a situation between adults, like you just, just go away before it escalates.
01:18:20.400 Why, you know, why risk the rest of your life?
01:18:23.660 I mean, it's really sad.
01:18:24.620 I mean, it's one of the reasons that it's scary to live in a, in a Soros DA run city.
01:18:30.340 I mean, it's very terrifying.
01:18:32.180 Thank you so much, Peachy.
01:18:33.340 I appreciate it.
01:18:34.380 We'll talk to you again when your book comes out.
01:18:36.700 Awesome.
01:18:37.200 Thanks so much, Glenn.
01:18:37.840 You bet.
01:18:38.460 Peachy Keenan.
01:18:39.960 That is, that's, that's a little terrifying that a mind, and I understand that.
01:18:47.680 I understand what she just said.
01:18:49.340 I think, yeah, my, I know I have that same instinct at times, and my thought also is like, let, let me fight that stuff out at a larger level.
01:18:58.100 If you're in the middle of one of those situations, now, again, if you have to protect someone's life, it's another story.
01:19:02.920 But like, if there's some of these, sometimes these situations are just going sideways, and you're in a situation of risk, get to remove yourself from that risk.
01:19:10.980 We'll try to move, we'll try to move society at another moment, but live to try to fight that battle tomorrow.
01:19:17.100 So, it's an understandable instinct from a parent, I'll tell you that.
01:19:20.520 Do you know where Bernie gets?
01:19:22.020 Oh, yeah.
01:19:22.700 What mayor, was that Dinkins, or was that Ed Koch?
01:19:28.520 Ed Koch, maybe?
01:19:29.520 I don't remember what year, let's see.
01:19:30.660 I mean, it's interesting that we deal with these every time the city goes crazy.
01:19:35.840 Every time there's a Democrat that is in office, and they, and they destroy the city, crime goes through the roof, and eventually somebody says, enough is enough.
01:19:47.100 I'm, I'm just, no, I'm not taking it.
01:19:51.360 And, and Bernard Getz was the last time.
01:19:55.660 When you had the, when you had Rudy Giuliani in office, that wasn't happening.
01:20:00.700 Yeah, it was Ed Koch, by the way.
01:20:02.140 Yeah.
01:20:02.420 1984.
01:20:03.240 And what did he, did he go to jail for it, or not?
01:20:06.820 Gosh, it's been so long.
01:20:07.940 I know, I don't remember.
01:20:08.960 Yeah.
01:20:09.500 I have to look back at that.
01:20:10.440 I thought he didn't.
01:20:12.220 I didn't think so.
01:20:13.100 I think that, that's why he asked that question this time.
01:20:16.600 Are, is a jury of their peers going to put him in jail?
01:20:19.300 And I don't think he did.
01:20:21.280 And his was, you know, pulling a gun on a guy.
01:20:24.320 This one, this one is, I think, even harder to send somebody to jail.
01:20:28.320 He did, and I'm looking back, and he did serve time in prison, but for something else, right?
01:20:32.720 He had some other, not, it wasn't for the actual shootings of that day.
01:20:36.780 Wow.
01:20:37.460 Wow.
01:20:38.540 It's, it's, it's a little, I have to read back on it.
01:20:40.960 It's been, it's been a long time.
01:20:41.980 But it, one of the situations where, like, look, again, don't try to mug people on a subway.
01:20:47.920 Yeah.
01:20:48.460 You know, this is the best way to avoid such things.
01:20:50.920 I'm a small business owner, and one of the things I love best about owning a business
01:20:54.420 is when I can actually do something that helps people.
01:20:57.900 This is what we had in mind when my brother and I started real estate agentsitrust.com.
01:21:03.920 I've been around the real estate business for a while, because I've sold so many houses
01:21:07.980 and lost money, because I was in the, you know, radio business, and so the economy would
01:21:13.640 go poorly, and then I'd lose my job, and I'd have to sell my house at the worst possible
01:21:18.100 time.
01:21:19.020 And honestly, I didn't even know how to look for a real estate agent.
01:21:23.040 I had no idea.
01:21:24.000 Then I started working with what the Wall Street Journal calls the 500 best real estate
01:21:28.780 agents in the country.
01:21:30.260 And I got to know them and started asking them questions.
01:21:33.260 How do you interview?
01:21:34.060 How do you know what the best practices are?
01:21:38.080 And I noticed out of those agents, they all kind of had the same answers.
01:21:42.680 So my brother and I went to work, and like, let's screen for these people, and then steer
01:21:47.480 them your way when you're looking for a real estate agent.
01:21:50.520 Let's see if we can find those people all around the country.
01:21:53.500 And that's what we do now, realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:21:56.920 We put these people through the ringer in a vetting test.
01:22:00.200 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:22:03.160 You're moving, whether it's across the street or across the country, we'll help you find
01:22:07.180 the right real estate agent.

01:22:12.200 Glenn Beck.
01:22:12.960 Oh, wow.
01:22:30.140 There's a really heartwarming video out online from an influencer.
01:22:35.420 Cut five.
01:22:36.340 This is an interview with this influencer's grandma, who's about to die.
01:22:44.840 Oh, okay.
01:22:45.540 What are your thoughts as you, like, move closer to the day?
01:22:49.180 It's like the light at the end that you turn up.
01:22:51.640 What are some of the precursors, like the questions they ask to make sure you're doing it for the
01:22:56.500 right reasons?
01:22:57.080 Your diagnosis is, if it's fatal, how many more months you have.
01:23:01.260 They give you time to consider.
01:23:03.740 They keep stressing the fact that you can always change your mind.
01:23:06.780 What is the actual day like?
01:23:08.600 I know that they set an appointment, initial injection, putting you to sleep.
01:23:12.540 And the big pain is the prick in the hand to provide for the little valves.
01:23:17.740 And then once you're in a deep sleep, there are two other injections you get.
01:23:22.340 At that point, you go.
01:23:23.300 This is nice.
01:23:24.200 It's painless.
01:23:24.760 I feel guilty doing this to my dog.
01:23:28.800 Put my dog to sleep?
01:23:30.860 I feel guilty about that.
01:23:33.560 100%.
01:23:34.000 Are you nervous?
01:23:34.520 Look, it's...
01:23:35.260 Once again, it is just being mainstreamed.
01:23:38.700 What about the acoustic music behind it, though?
01:23:40.340 Did that change your mind in any way?
01:23:41.800 Well, it was...
01:23:42.820 Are you now pro-killing people?
01:23:44.560 I was against it.
01:23:47.000 But then I heard the acoustic guitar and the really nice singing.
01:23:50.320 Yeah.
01:23:50.880 And now you're like, wow.
01:23:52.020 You know...
01:23:52.520 They put a lot of thought into this.
01:23:53.600 They've picked thematic music that matches the mood.
01:23:56.760 It probably is okay to just murder people whenever you want.
01:24:00.280 That's the conclusion I came to.
01:24:02.140 Thanks to the acoustic guitar.
01:24:03.900 So sad.
01:24:04.760 So depressing.
01:24:06.720 All right.
01:24:08.140 Back in just a minute.
01:24:13.920 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:23.600 What you're about to hear.
01:24:53.600 Here is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:24:59.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:02.240 Hello, America.
01:25:05.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:25:07.100 You learn something from Kamala Harris every single day.
01:25:12.840 Without semiconductors, your smartphone would not be a smartphone.
01:25:18.500 Shut up.
01:25:19.180 It would be a paperweight.
01:25:21.340 Whoa!
01:25:22.520 That occupies a big space in your pocket.
01:25:25.420 Wow.
01:25:26.820 I...
01:25:27.300 Wow.
01:25:28.920 I didn't know that.
01:25:30.200 We have Thomas Massey on it.
01:25:31.660 You know, he went to MIT.
01:25:33.040 I bet he doesn't know that.
01:25:36.200 We're going to blow his mind.
01:25:38.480 Next.
01:25:39.380 60 seconds.
01:25:40.760 Getting yourself and your family out of debt has always been important.
01:25:43.640 But I think you'll agree that it is more crucial now than ever.
01:25:47.560 Whatever is coming at us with the economy, it is coming fast.
01:25:50.880 And you don't want to have a bunch of debt when it gets here.
01:25:53.420 What you're paying on your credit cards now, you're paying most likely about 20%.
01:25:58.780 It can be as high as 25%.
01:26:03.960 That is way too much.
01:26:06.980 American Financing is here and would like to offer a solution.
01:26:10.680 Now, it's not right for everybody, but I want you to check and see if it is right for you.
01:26:14.700 Your home's equity.
01:26:16.320 Could you pay off that credit card debt and get that huge interest rate down someplace reasonable, like 5%?
01:26:23.760 They're saving people just like you an average of $700 a month.
01:26:27.760 And you could be able to delay up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.
01:26:34.180 Find out if this is right for you at American Financing, 800-906-2440.
01:26:39.080 800-906-2440.
01:26:41.300 It's AmericanFinancing.net.
01:26:43.640 American Financing, NMLS, 1-823-34, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:26:50.960 Why, from the great state of Kentucky, it's Congressman Thomas Massey.
01:26:56.320 How are you, sir?
01:26:57.960 I'm doing well, Glenn.
01:26:59.400 Thanks for having me on.
01:27:00.720 Yeah.
01:27:02.300 We're just about a week away from millions of Americans becoming felons.
01:27:06.460 Yeah, and I have been trying to get an answer on this.
01:27:09.440 I know people who have these guns.
01:27:11.860 And they were purchased absolutely legally.
01:27:15.540 They were legal, everything else.
01:27:17.560 There's no grandfather clause now.
01:27:19.560 And the ATF is making it a felony as of, is it the end of next week, isn't it?
01:27:27.940 That's right.
01:27:28.480 June 1st.
01:27:29.220 If you own one of these stabilizing braces for a pistol and it's mounted to a pistol, an AR-15 pistol or something similar,
01:27:36.800 they say you're in possession of a short barrel rifle on that day, unregistered, if you haven't registered it,
01:27:44.000 and you'll get 10 years in prison if you're convicted.
01:27:46.760 Okay, listen, this is Thomas Massey questioning the ATF director.
01:27:54.060 Listen.
01:27:54.320 How many days do people have to comply with this rule?
01:27:56.660 So they can always comply, but the initial period...
01:28:01.700 Before they're felons?
01:28:02.560 But the initial period, I believe, ends at the end of May.
01:28:07.780 Okay.
01:28:08.160 But people are...
01:28:08.660 End of May, and it was 120 days, is that correct?
01:28:12.580 People are only felons if they intentionally violate the law.
01:28:15.240 Is it 120 days?
01:28:17.360 I believe it's 120 days from the date of...
01:28:19.020 So we've got 36 days left of the 120-day grace period.
01:28:22.820 Can you tell us here today how many people have complied by registering this product?
01:28:29.560 I am not sure of the exact number.
01:28:31.260 I can check, though, and get back to you.
01:28:32.860 There are people who are making applications.
01:28:35.340 There also can be detachment.
01:28:37.500 So in other words, we don't count.
01:28:39.380 We don't...
01:28:39.860 That's not for us to regulate.
01:28:40.960 If somebody simply...
01:28:41.840 We wrote the rule to make it easy to comply with.
01:28:44.080 If somebody just at their home detaches the weapon from the brace and keeps them apart,
01:28:49.320 they do not have to register anything.
01:28:51.360 They can keep the brace.
01:28:52.720 They can keep the business end of the gun.
01:28:54.440 Okay.
01:28:54.780 That's a great clarification.
01:28:56.300 So you're not going to do some kind of constructive prosecution where you say,
01:29:00.160 oh, you had this and you had that and you intended to connect them.
01:29:02.720 They're keeping...
01:29:03.280 I mean...
01:29:03.680 They can just keep them separately.
01:29:04.900 Detaching them as we approach them.
01:29:07.180 Okay.
01:29:07.800 Because that's not clear in your rules.
01:29:10.520 And what is the punishment if somebody is convicted as a felon under having this piece of plastic?
01:29:17.840 If people are convicted of not fining the Gun Control Act, it's a serious felony conviction.
01:29:23.920 But that requires intent.
01:29:26.200 Can you just give me the number?
01:29:27.720 Is it 10 years?
01:29:28.800 I don't...
01:29:30.100 I believe it's a statutory maximum of 10 years.
01:29:32.560 10 years for owning a piece of plastic?
01:29:34.860 So the advice he gave you, that's the first I've heard that advice.
01:29:42.940 It flies in the face of the rule that they have published and the slides that they've put out.
01:29:49.840 They say that you must permanently remove and dispose of or alter the stabilizing brace such that it cannot be reattached.
01:29:58.060 In other words, the rule says you have to destroy it.
01:30:01.700 But under oath, the ATF director just told us that all you have to do is detach the two.
01:30:07.960 And so he created this...
01:30:10.040 And this is why Congress needs to be writing the laws, not some freaking administrative agency.
01:30:15.940 Because for 10 years, they said this was legal.
01:30:18.280 Now they're going to say it's illegal.
01:30:19.960 And now he just muddied the waters again.
01:30:22.180 So Jim Jordan and I sent him a letter on May 8th because, as he said, the deadline's June 1st.
01:30:28.520 And he hasn't responded yet.
01:30:30.300 We want him to clarify this.
01:30:32.340 It's important to be clear on laws because people will be convicted of this.
01:30:39.240 So, Thomas, what do you do?
01:30:43.220 Again, I have friends who have these.
01:30:45.580 What do you do?
01:30:47.880 Well, somebody on Twitter told me he hid his in the desert.
01:30:52.180 I don't know if you geocache your phrase.
01:30:57.720 You know, it depends on your appetite for noncompliance.
01:31:03.560 Now, I'm not a lawyer, and I don't want people to go to jail.
01:31:06.420 But if I did keep these two and I did separate them, as the ATF director testified under oath that you could do,
01:31:14.320 I would use that as a legal defense if I were prosecuted.
01:31:17.440 But if you're in a courtroom giving a legal defense, you may have gone too far already.
01:31:22.180 There's a chance.
01:31:23.480 There's a very good chance this will be struck down in the courts.
01:31:26.100 But in the meantime, it is assumed to be the law of the land, even though it's just a rule promulgated by ATF.
01:31:32.460 And what is it they're going to do?
01:31:33.820 Go door to door to see who has these?
01:31:36.520 Some of my colleagues asked that question.
01:31:41.020 I suspect if they want you for something else, they will use this as an excuse.
01:31:48.880 And here's the other thing, Glenn.
01:31:52.320 It's against the law for the U.S. government to create a registry of gun owners.
01:31:56.740 But that is the remedy that they've suggested.
01:31:59.660 Correct.
01:32:00.560 They said you can register these things.
01:32:03.380 Now, set aside the fact that in 13 states, that's illegal to even register a short barrel rifle.
01:32:09.720 But they said that you can register these things.
01:32:12.400 You know, do your fingerprints, send in your picture, and all of that to the FBI and the background check and the ATF.
01:32:20.640 But now they're creating a registry of millions of gun owners.
01:32:26.480 So, you know, I'm so glad you played that testimony of the ATF director.
01:32:31.760 It's so hard to explain the way he bumbled the answer and may have just created a legal loophole for millions of Americans.
01:32:41.220 Again, I'm not a lawyer.
01:32:42.380 I'm not telling you.
01:32:43.220 Did you get a response back from the ATF?
01:32:46.140 You said, you know, like 10th of May, you wrote to them.
01:32:51.000 Nothing yet?
01:32:52.620 Nothing yet.
01:32:53.500 It's been two weeks, and we're one week away from D-Day.
01:32:57.160 And he hasn't responded.
01:32:59.860 And this, by the way, I signed it as chairman of the subcommittee on the administrative state.
01:33:04.900 And Jim Jordan signed it as chairman of judiciary.
01:33:08.280 So, you know, this isn't, we didn't tweet this.
01:33:11.260 This is a letter sent on congressional letterhead to the ATF director.
01:33:16.200 He needs to respond.
01:33:17.520 By the way, I'll provide this letter for somebody's legal defense if they need it at some point.
01:33:23.720 Yeah.
01:33:24.180 Well, you know what?
01:33:25.320 I'd love to take it and post it online so people could have it.
01:33:30.620 Um, so, um, Thomas, help me out on, um, how we're going to stop this.
01:33:39.180 These guys don't seem to care about Congress.
01:33:42.440 They don't seem to care about the Supreme Court or anyone else.
01:33:46.540 This has got to stop.
01:33:49.000 All of our agencies are way out of control.
01:33:52.640 There's only one way to do it.
01:33:54.620 There's only one way to stop them.
01:33:56.460 Uh, the, the polite letters are not working.
01:33:59.520 I'm convinced they're heating their buildings over there with our letters in the wintertime.
01:34:03.260 Uh, and Scalia, I had a chance to meet with Antonin Scalia when he was alive and my colleagues
01:34:09.580 were upset because remember when Obama was president and we were in the majority, they
01:34:14.380 were doing the same stuff.
01:34:15.660 And Scalia said, you're the most powerful branch of government.
01:34:18.540 Use it.
01:34:19.420 And one of my colleagues says, well, it's so hard to impeach somebody.
01:34:22.660 Scalia says, I'm not talking about impeachment.
01:34:25.160 You all fund everything you complain about.
01:34:27.940 So here we are.
01:34:28.900 We're in the majority.
01:34:29.560 All the spending bills originate in the house.
01:34:32.040 We just need to defund this crystal brace rule.
01:34:35.400 Now, our first opportunity to do that will be October 1st.
01:34:38.800 That creates several months of jeopardy.
01:34:40.980 And who knows if that makes it through the Senate, but if we refuse to fund it, they can't
01:34:45.960 fund it in the Senate.
01:34:47.500 So that's what we need to do.
01:34:48.740 Defund the rule.
01:34:51.060 And when we talk about defunding, um, we're looking at the budget, uh, with Joe Biden.
01:34:57.660 I mean, these people are so destructive.
01:35:00.780 I, I wouldn't put it past them to go into default.
01:35:06.000 Um, and that doesn't mean what everybody in the media is saying, but I think they would,
01:35:11.780 they wouldn't mind that option.
01:35:14.000 Do you, or, or, are you convinced that McCarthy will stand firm on this?
01:35:19.940 Well, I hope he does stand firm.
01:35:23.040 I don't know what's going to happen.
01:35:24.540 If the, if it comes back squishy, I ain't voting for it.
01:35:27.220 That's all I could tell you is myself.
01:35:29.180 I won't vote for it.
01:35:30.020 And by the way, it, when we reached the point at which they can't sell any more of the postal
01:35:35.060 workers pensions fund, which is what they're doing right now, they're selling the postal
01:35:38.800 workers pensions fund, liquidating it so they can pay pensions in Ukraine to government
01:35:43.560 workers.
01:35:43.960 But when they run out of that, when they run out of that runway, they, we still have money
01:35:49.760 coming in enough to service the debt.
01:35:51.600 It would take a conscious decision from Yellen to, to decide to default on the debt.
01:35:57.600 When we reach the ultimate debt limit, she would have to consciously decide not to service
01:36:02.440 the debt because she's going to have enough money to service it.
01:36:07.160 Absolutely incredible.
01:36:08.800 It's just incredible what's going on.
01:36:10.560 Uh, Thomas, one last thing I'd love to have you on.
01:36:14.060 Cause you, you know, you went to MIT, you have, uh, several patents, uh, behind you.
01:36:19.160 Um, this AI, uh, controversy that is going on.
01:36:23.960 I've been warning about AI in the way I'm both very excited and also at the same time,
01:36:30.820 very terrified that it means also either the best or the worst, and maybe both of them.
01:36:36.500 Uh, and we have to have a national conversation about this.
01:36:41.000 And now it, it appears as though it is, uh, growing, uh, too late to have that kind of
01:36:47.120 confirmation, uh, uh, conversation.
01:36:49.240 How worried are you, are, are you on, on AI, not narrow, but general AI and things that
01:36:59.020 are going on now?
01:37:00.580 You've been at the front of this.
01:37:01.800 I remember many years ago, you were my guest at the state of the union and we went out to
01:37:05.620 dinner before the state of the union and you brought this up.
01:37:08.680 It must've been four or five years ago.
01:37:11.040 Yeah.
01:37:11.640 Uh, so you've been in front of this.
01:37:13.860 My, my concern Glenn is that the government uses it as the ultimate social tracking tool.
01:37:21.820 Uh, it takes work.
01:37:23.480 It takes determined hard work on the part of bureaucrats to make your lives miserable and
01:37:27.860 to spy on you.
01:37:29.140 But with AI, they could automate the whole thing and have 350 million Americans under the watch.
01:37:36.340 They could tell the AI, go out and find all of the URLs that Glenn Beck has visited for
01:37:41.320 the last 20 years and be very diligent and search every server everywhere.
01:37:45.620 And I could see an AI doing that.
01:37:47.680 So I'm not, I'm not that concerned about its use in private sector.
01:37:53.100 Now, let me put a little postmark on that or a post-it note because the private sector
01:37:59.700 is working hand in glove with the government.
01:38:02.200 We just found out from the FBI whistleblower that bank of America, uh, released the gun
01:38:08.620 records of everybody who used the bank of America car to buy a hot dog between January
01:38:14.100 5th and January 7th.
01:38:15.940 Like they, they claim they, the FBI whistleblower claims that bank of America volunteered that.
01:38:21.020 So my concern is does AI fall in the hands of the government?
01:38:24.300 We could write laws to stop that.
01:38:26.400 And you know, if government abuses people, but then my secondary concern is the private sector
01:38:31.380 uses AI and contracts for the government.
01:38:33.800 And they think they've found a loophole to the constitution.
01:38:36.500 Yeah.
01:38:36.540 And that sounds most likely.
01:38:38.720 I mean, I've talked to several people and, and, uh, you know, they said, well, you know,
01:38:42.400 we could pause it maybe, and the government can get involved in laws.
01:38:45.800 And I said, first of all, most of the people up on Capitol Hill don't know how to use their
01:38:49.860 even cell phone.
01:38:51.160 They're so old.
01:38:51.940 Um, you know, who are you going to talk to up there?
01:38:56.880 And Kamala Harris being in charge of, of the, uh, the, the summit on it is a joke, but I'm,
01:39:05.540 I'm not sure that I'm not sure who runs the nation anymore.
01:39:09.920 If it is the government and they have big tech under their thumb or big tech has the government
01:39:16.700 under their thumb.
01:39:17.480 I, I don't want to either of them with this kind of technology.
01:39:21.700 The reality is we have congressional staffers, not the staffers that work for your congressmen,
01:39:27.500 but the ones who work for the committees.
01:39:29.120 And, and a lot of them are good people, but there are detailies that come from the executive
01:39:34.460 branch to Congress to work inside of these, uh, committees.
01:39:39.520 And then you have people who work on K street or they worked for a big tech company and they
01:39:45.180 come in and they work on these committees, not for any particular congressmen, but that's
01:39:49.560 where most of the laws get written.
01:39:51.060 And I'm afraid that a lot of congressmen are going to defer to these detailies from industry
01:39:57.160 and, and, and private business.
01:39:59.400 Yeah.
01:40:00.020 Um, uh, Thomas, thank you so much for everything that you're doing.
01:40:02.860 If you get a response to your letter and if you, if you want to send me that letter,
01:40:07.140 I'd love to post that.
01:40:08.440 Um, but, uh, please let us know what's, you know, what's happening on this front.
01:40:13.760 This is, I've, I've never seen our government, uh, take so much care to make so many Americans
01:40:22.680 felons overnight.
01:40:24.820 It's disgusting.
01:40:25.780 And we need to stop it.
01:40:26.960 I'll send you the letter, Glenn.
01:40:28.160 Thank you very much for covering this week away.
01:40:30.660 Thank you.
01:40:31.240 Thanks Thomas.
01:40:31.860 Bye-bye.
01:40:32.080 Well, that's the closest I've gotten to an answer from anyone.
01:40:37.400 Um, and it's not an answer.
01:40:39.620 It's not an answer.
01:40:41.800 No.
01:40:42.340 I mean, there's a lot of potential legal answers there, at least.
01:40:46.760 At least that's something.
01:40:48.040 And what he said is so even more terrifying.
01:40:52.260 They're not going door to door.
01:40:54.100 He believes that they will, if they want you on something else, they'll come in and check
01:41:01.540 and see if you have this.
01:41:03.880 So this is just a way, again, to exert power over people.
01:41:10.120 All right.
01:41:10.920 Uh, billionaire Stanley Drucken, uh, Druckenmiller said that he is shorting the dollar.
01:41:16.600 Some people buy gold as an alternative way to short the dollar since the two typically
01:41:21.060 move in opposite of one another.
01:41:25.620 He's not doing it to short it.
01:41:27.660 He said it's his only confident trade.
01:41:29.980 He sees this is the most unpredictable period of his career, and it is when the dollar fades
01:41:37.820 or crashes, gold and other precious metals are the historic go-to.
01:41:43.420 Goldline has been helping people acquire these metals since 1960.
01:41:47.340 They've been around for a long time for a good reason.
01:41:49.680 They're good at what they do.
01:41:50.820 They're honest.
01:41:51.820 And don't take my word for it.
01:41:53.020 Do your own homework.
01:41:54.100 Check them out today.
01:41:55.460 See if they're right for you.
01:41:56.600 Goldline, I have trusted with, um, with my transactions for almost 20 years now.
01:42:03.880 Goldline is bringing back one of their most popular specials.
01:42:06.680 They're historic $5 Indian and Liberty coins.
01:42:10.020 Ask them why I buy those in particular.
01:42:11.980 They come with a hundred free copper Mayflower rounds with each qualifying tube or box of historic
01:42:18.400 $5 gold coins.
01:42:20.360 Call Goldline today.
01:42:21.640 The number is 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE, or goldline.com.
01:42:27.060 10 seconds.
01:42:27.640 Station ID.
01:42:28.100 Certainly glad Thomas Massey's out there actually looking at this stuff.
01:42:43.220 He's one of those people who defends the Second Amendment even when it's not comfortable.
01:42:47.200 Yeah.
01:42:47.700 And, uh, you know, of course, when you do have the tragedies that do occur, you have to still
01:42:54.360 maintain the principle that you had the day before.
01:42:56.700 Yep.
01:42:57.140 You know, and the only thing that will save us is the, is God and the constitution.
01:43:02.220 That's it.
01:43:02.760 There's no way you can't, you can't cheat either one of those.
01:43:05.920 Can't.
01:43:06.840 No.
01:43:07.340 And of course you can change the constitution if you want.
01:43:09.900 You want to come out and remove the Second Amendment.
01:43:12.000 You can attempt that.
01:43:12.760 You can see how that goes for you.
01:43:14.160 I'm sure it'll go very, very well politically.
01:43:16.060 But even if you were able to do it, you're in a situation where you still have 400 million
01:43:22.360 guns on the streets.
01:43:23.600 You still, I mean, this is just, this country, it has a gun culture that if you want to deny
01:43:29.160 in this sort of Sim City world where you're building a country from scratch to solve these
01:43:33.320 problems, you can do it.
01:43:34.420 You can play those games if you want.
01:43:35.720 I'm sure they're entertaining, but it's not reality.
01:43:38.560 Not what you have here.
01:43:40.040 But see, all you have to do is take first the warriors off the street.
01:43:44.800 Take the, take the people like guys choking out the, uh, the crazy guy on the subway.
01:43:51.160 Take them out, get those guys to sit down, make, make those people not step up and let
01:43:56.680 whatever happens happen.
01:43:57.660 Correct.
01:43:58.000 Then take people who have guns, um, and just the, you know, just the, you know, not the,
01:44:05.680 uh, AR 15s at first, something else that narrows it down to even a smaller pool, find something
01:44:13.180 on them, take that gun away.
01:44:14.800 Now you've got people trained.
01:44:17.020 Don't go and publicly, uh, gather together because January 6th could happen, uh, sit
01:44:25.000 down and shut up and take it.
01:44:27.520 And the people with the guns, you, you better be careful.
01:44:32.540 These people got 10 years for something that makes no sense whatsoever.
01:44:37.420 Let me, uh, let me ask you a hypothetical.
01:44:39.760 You offer to Democrats, you say, Hey, we will agree to this rule.
01:44:45.140 You get to choose the number.
01:44:47.020 You have to set the age for gun ownership, the same age as you, uh, as voting rights.
01:44:53.380 What number do they set it at?
01:44:59.420 Four.
01:45:07.000 I think you might be right.
01:45:08.420 I think so.
01:45:09.580 They wouldn't have a problem.
01:45:10.860 If they could get those votes in, they'd be like four, let them buy a handgun.
01:45:14.840 We'll stop them.
01:45:18.400 I think you might be right.
01:45:19.640 Yeah.
01:45:19.820 Thank you.
01:45:20.380 Thank you.
01:45:20.820 Thank you very much.
01:45:21.520 Fascinating.
01:45:22.240 All right.
01:45:22.620 They keep saying it's the biggest problem out there.
01:45:24.460 I don't know that I believe them.
01:45:26.060 I don't know that I believe they even believe that guns are the real problems in our society.
01:45:30.340 And they certainly don't believe that white people are the biggest problem.
01:45:33.540 They just think the whole culture and the constitution is the biggest problem out there.
01:45:40.700 All right.
01:45:41.320 Back in just a minute.
01:45:42.100 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:45:53.700 In Land O'Lakes, Florida, Tunnel to Towers Foundation is building a community called the Let Us Do Good Village.
01:45:59.180 It's going to have about 100 homes for their program participants.
01:46:03.440 And who are those people?
01:46:04.940 Well, the first two families who have already moved in, Gold Star family and the family of a severely wounded hero who served our nation, more is coming.
01:46:14.220 But this is a special place where families will be able to come together and heal.
01:46:17.560 It's a special place where children can grow up and experience life together and share the things that share the burdens that they all have in common.
01:46:27.480 And thanks to an amazing donation of the land, which it sits on, we have the land.
01:46:34.820 And because of your donation, we have the money to build the houses.
01:46:40.500 Hopefully, this will be the first of its kind in America.
01:46:43.120 Every mortgage-free home the foundation makes is making good on their promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices of our heroes and the things that they have done for our country and our communities.
01:46:55.340 Would you be willing to donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org?
01:47:01.320 Join me, Tunnel to Towers, T2T.org.

01:47:13.120 All right, so let's look at some of the political things going on.
01:47:39.560 A second IRS whistleblower has alleged retaliation now for raising concerns that the Justice Department leadership was acting inappropriately on the investigation into Hunter Biden.
01:47:52.500 So what these guys, this is a second now, what they're saying is that the Justice Department came in and said,
01:47:59.180 yeah, you guys don't need to look at all of that stuff.
01:48:01.920 And they're like, excuse me, we're the IRS.
01:48:04.500 We are looking at all the banking stuff and all the money stuff.
01:48:07.920 You don't really need to.
01:48:09.660 And then that whole staff was let go.
01:48:14.260 This guy is now coming forward, and he is going to be giving testimony on Friday.
01:48:20.460 Our client learned that one of the agents he supervises, so this is not a low-level guy.
01:48:26.740 This is a supervisor at the IRS.
01:48:28.900 The case agent on the case, our client is blowing the whistle on, sent you an email on Thursday in which the IRS case agent raised concerns about the Hunter Biden investigation.
01:48:39.460 That's what the lawyers wrote in a letter.
01:48:41.120 But the IRS leadership quickly responded with accusations of criminal conduct and warnings to other agents in an apparent attempt to intimidate into silence anyone who might raise any similar concerns.
01:48:56.800 So in this, Congress is saying you've got to stop harassing these whistleblowers.
01:49:03.420 It's got to stop now.
01:49:04.660 Now, the FBI has just failed yesterday to sign over a document that whistleblowers say the FBI have, which is showing a criminal scheme involving Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.
01:49:27.000 They won't admit to having it or admit to not having it.
01:49:33.160 But it's just part of an ongoing investigation, and we can't really comment on that.
01:49:39.820 So Congress, which oversees the FBI, Congress has said you have to produce this.
01:49:48.620 They said first by May 3rd.
01:49:52.880 May 3rd.
01:49:53.420 You've got to release it May 3rd.
01:49:55.220 Then they said by yesterday they were going to have closed-door meetings with the FBI, so we want to see that at the closed-door meetings.
01:50:03.160 They still won't produce it.
01:50:05.980 So now, I guess the House Oversight and Accountability Committee are going to, what?
01:50:15.800 I don't know.
01:50:16.780 Maybe another sternly worded letter?
01:50:21.400 I'm not sure.
01:50:22.580 But they're backing Congress into a corner.
01:50:27.440 And I just, I don't know.
01:50:29.600 I'm starting to have hope that there are enough people in Congress, at least, I don't know about the Senate, but in the Congress, that they're going to fight their way out of this.
01:50:39.380 They're not going to take this.
01:50:40.560 For so long, there's been that belief that eventually Congress would step up and take the power that they have.
01:50:47.740 They have to.
01:50:48.600 Right?
01:50:49.000 Like, I mean, we've talked about the RAINS Act with Mike Lee recently.
01:50:52.920 And by the way, that is in, if it's left in there, that, the RAINS Act is in the budget deal.
01:51:00.400 That would be massive.
01:51:01.420 It would be a really, really big improvement to our government and our country.
01:51:05.020 It basically would limit them from making these little rules that no one votes on.
01:51:10.360 What is $100 million in effect?
01:51:12.380 I mean, it should be so obvious that you shouldn't need a new act to do it.
01:51:17.340 But if you're going to affect the economy by $100 million or more, you have to get a vote of approval.
01:51:23.500 You can't just do it willy-nilly.
01:51:26.000 Yeah.
01:51:26.180 It pretty much takes away the power of the administrative state to do things like the ATF is doing right now.
01:51:34.160 You can't just make up laws.
01:51:36.900 The laws are created by Congress.
01:51:40.080 And this is so, I mean, you talk about the Constitution and the importance of it all the time.
01:51:44.880 But it's so important because what people have done, they've decided, you know what, we want things.
01:51:51.740 We can't have the things by these rules.
01:51:54.500 So let's come up with new rules.
01:51:56.720 The RAINS Act is a good example of this where they just decided, well, we'll just give all the power to the administrative state.
01:52:02.580 And we'll just let them make all these rules up.
01:52:05.180 Therefore, we don't have to go through all the trouble of the vote and the debate and exposing this to the American people.
01:52:09.940 We might get voted out.
01:52:11.280 Let's give the responsibility for those things to other people and let them do it without a vote, without any approval.
01:52:19.860 You know, the Soros DAs are another great example of this.
01:52:23.240 We can't get people to approve laws that just let violent criminals out of prison.
01:52:29.060 So what if we instead spend a bunch of money?
01:52:32.700 It's a very effective process financially because you don't have to spend that much money to win a local DA election.
01:52:38.460 Spend a bunch of money.
01:52:39.500 Get some local DA elected.
01:52:41.060 And then tell them, ignore all the laws.
01:52:43.760 Ignore them.
01:52:44.200 You have prosecutorial discretion.
01:52:47.720 So just don't do any of it.
01:52:49.980 Just bend that rule to the millionth degree and then go out there and ignore all the laws that have been passed.
01:52:56.240 You don't want criminals to go to jail?
01:52:57.420 Fine.
01:52:57.740 You want sanctuary cities?
01:52:59.020 Fine.
01:52:59.540 Just ignore all that stuff.
01:53:01.780 Who cares if those are laws?
01:53:02.840 And so they've decided to try to go around the Constitution and around the rule of law by doing these things.
01:53:09.180 It's happened in the executive state.
01:53:11.400 It's happened on a state-by-state basis, as localized as cities.
01:53:16.700 And this is their plan.
01:53:18.400 They've given up trying to actually win these debates.
01:53:21.680 They've just decided to go around them and wait for you to think it's normal.
01:53:26.860 And then they don't have to win the debate.
01:53:28.460 Well, hopefully the RAINS Act will be left into this bill, but I don't know what's going to be left into the bill.
01:53:35.980 We're talking about the bill on the debt ceiling.
01:53:41.900 You know, I'm watching McCarthy, and he seems rock solid on this.
01:53:46.860 You know, they always started too late.
01:53:49.980 We've been telling the Republicans since November that they had to go to the door.
01:53:56.780 And this time, it's the Republicans, because the first thing McCarthy did when he got in was send a letter to the White House.
01:54:06.140 We have to start working on this right now, because there are some things that we are not going to approve.
01:54:12.780 So we need to start negotiating.
01:54:14.740 And now the Democrats are behind the eight ball.
01:54:17.420 Yeah, what did McCarthy say?
01:54:18.160 They did not negotiate for 97 days after it was initially proposed.
01:54:23.300 Right.
01:54:23.420 And what's so silly about this, they keep saying, well, we don't want to set the precedent that we have to negotiate every time we need a debt ceiling increase.
01:54:29.980 That would be crazy.
01:54:31.080 What?
01:54:31.400 What?
01:54:31.680 Why?
01:54:32.380 Well, why, first of all, and if you're telling me that the default is so terrible, right?
01:54:37.260 It's the worst thing out there.
01:54:38.300 And I do agree it would be catastrophic if we went to default.
01:54:41.380 But we won't.
01:54:42.560 We shouldn't, right?
01:54:43.600 We won't, it just requires Congress and the Secretary of the Treasury to sit down and select what's going to be paid and what's not going to be paid.
01:54:54.260 Right.
01:54:54.560 And you'll have a long road there.
01:54:57.280 Now, you shouldn't even get to that point, of course, because the Republicans have put out a bill that is pretty sensible.
01:55:03.000 I mean, it has minor, minor cuts in our government spending, not even cuts.
01:55:07.780 They're just cuts in the future increases.
01:55:10.320 They're not even cuts.
01:55:11.540 They're cuts to the future increases of spending.
01:55:15.180 It is not, we're going back to what, 2019 spending levels in a lot of these categories.
01:55:21.020 Oh, no.
01:55:22.140 This is not that catastrophic.
01:55:23.680 It's not that ridiculous.
01:55:24.720 But for us to default, the Democrats would have to say that these minor cuts to future increases is worse for the country than default.
01:55:36.920 Because they have an option.
01:55:39.000 There's been a bill that's already been passed by Republicans.
01:55:41.460 It's already been passed.
01:55:42.580 All they have to do is get on board with it.
01:55:44.620 So if they thought that this was worse than default, then perhaps it would be sensible for us to go into default.
01:55:51.620 But obviously it's not worse than default.
01:55:55.240 So just get in there and negotiate something out that's in between.
01:55:58.940 We get that the Republicans might not get everything that they want.
01:56:01.680 But find out a place to settle this.
01:56:03.940 Because they keep saying, well, you know, if we don't, if we negotiate, then that's going to encourage future negotiations around the debt ceiling.
01:56:11.040 Yes.
01:56:11.620 Well, yeah.
01:56:12.540 That's the whole point of the debt ceiling.
01:56:14.020 The point of the debt ceiling is like a gut check and saying, hey, guys, you keep bumping up against this number that has trillion in it.
01:56:20.960 Maybe instead you should think about how to get a little bit more fiscally responsible.
01:56:24.720 And instead they're like, well, we're just going to, we're basically going to show them by defaulting.
01:56:29.940 We're going to show them we don't want to default so much that we're going to just default.
01:56:33.440 Well, that's a, that's an inane argument.
01:56:36.660 What do you think he's going to do?
01:56:38.280 Do you think he's going to negotiate and come to something or you think he's going to just play hardball and go, nope, no negotiation?
01:56:45.840 Because that's what he, that's where he's at.
01:56:47.500 No negotiation.
01:56:49.380 He seems to be weakening a little bit on that.
01:56:51.760 And I do think eventually we will get to a place where Republicans will be able to claim a little bit of a win.
01:56:57.340 Democrats will say we didn't give them everything that they wanted.
01:56:59.900 They held us hostage.
01:57:00.860 They're bad people.
01:57:01.660 They're mean.
01:57:02.580 And eventually we get this.
01:57:04.540 I will say it is May 23rd.
01:57:06.280 Now, I don't believe the June 1st date.
01:57:09.520 The June 1st date is, is not true, but fundamentally it could be true if the right number of people pushed in a direction that was hurtful to the United States.
01:57:21.620 I mean, people with bad intent could make that date true.
01:57:25.100 As you point out, Glenn, they can stop funding turtle tunnels for a while and give us extra days.
01:57:30.660 There's a lot of things they can stop funding instead of not paying our debt.
01:57:33.260 And I think their argument, based on the 14th Amendment, where they say, well, it says in the 14th Amendment, our debts are, you know, we have to pay them.
01:57:41.440 So we have to pay them.
01:57:43.280 Well, that would indicate that they would have to not pay a bunch of other stuff before they got to not paying the debt.
01:57:51.580 Right?
01:57:51.860 Like, it's just like in your own household.
01:57:53.620 Hey, we have the kids' summer camp budgeted here, but we don't have enough money to pay the rent.
01:57:58.220 Which one do we pay?
01:57:59.540 You don't pay the summer camp thing first.
01:58:01.660 And then you get to the plate.
01:58:03.220 And there's lots of summer camps.
01:58:04.860 Lots of summer camps.
01:58:05.620 Now, according to Joe Biden, there is literally not $1 we can cut from this budget.
01:58:09.640 You know what's really weird?
01:58:10.640 That is actually his position.
01:58:11.360 Because that's what Nancy Pelosi said years ago.
01:58:14.280 The cupboards are bare.
01:58:15.880 Bare.
01:58:15.980 Nothing to cut.
01:58:17.100 And then we added like $7 trillion, and it's still bare?
01:58:22.880 Yeah, apparently that was all very necessary.
01:58:24.500 How much money?
01:58:25.260 I mean, everyone knows, of course there's money to save.
01:58:28.700 You might even say that there are important programs that you like, but still, every organization has waste.
01:58:36.360 I mean, waste would at least buy us some time.
01:58:39.300 But, you know, non-essential programs would also buy us a lot more.
01:58:44.020 And so there is more time than June 1st.
01:58:46.860 But it is, you know, a little, it's a little close.
01:58:50.700 You kind of like to get this thing settled.
01:58:53.620 And maybe put in a little bit of a harder cap for next time.
01:58:57.280 Maybe put a cap out there that's a few years in the future that says, we actually shouldn't get to this, guys.
01:59:03.060 Let's not worry about the negotiation next time when we get there.
01:59:07.120 Let's come up with a plan to not hit it next time.
01:59:10.560 Maybe we go the other way.
01:59:11.700 Maybe instead of increasing the debt every single time, we go the opposite way and decrease it.
01:59:17.080 What do you think about that idea?
01:59:18.420 I know it's wild and crazy, but maybe that was more fundamental to what the founders were talking about with the 14th Amendment than what you're doing here.
01:59:26.960 Where you're just increasing it all the time and yelling at people when they ask you to spend a little bit less.
01:59:34.640 Well, I just don't think we can spend less, Stu.
01:59:37.240 I just don't think that's even possible.
01:59:39.460 Cupboards are bare.
01:59:40.040 Here's our commercial sponsor, This Half Hour.
01:59:44.300 It's Rough Greens.
01:59:45.000 Thomas wrote in about his dog.
01:59:46.160 He said, I have two huskies.
01:59:47.800 I have to admit, I didn't expect much.
01:59:49.660 I thought for sure it was a gimmick, but I am a believer.
01:59:53.120 It's only been three weeks and their fur looks incredible.
01:59:58.040 The stamina is overwhelming.
02:00:00.720 Thank you so much.
02:00:02.120 Thomas, I had the same experience with Uno.
02:00:04.580 Healthy food is not brown.
02:00:06.100 It's green.
02:00:07.020 Rough Greens.
02:00:07.680 It was put together by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.
02:00:11.660 He invented the solution of Rough Greens, and it's stock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants.
02:00:18.280 It's a supplement that you put on your dog's food, and your dog is going to be healthier, happier.
02:00:24.320 Most dogs love it right away, but they have a special for you.
02:00:27.460 They don't want you paying for anything that your dog won't eat.
02:00:29.460 So the first bag is free.
02:00:31.400 Just get your first bag free.
02:00:32.920 You just pay for shipping.
02:00:34.000 Go to roughgreens, ruffgreens.com, slash Beck, or call 833-GLEN-33.
02:00:40.200 That's 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.

02:00:45.960 Join the conversation.
02:00:48.260 888-727-BECK.
02:00:50.880 The Glenn Beck Program.
02:00:52.000 We have somebody who was trying to go through the gates at the White House in, like, a big U-Haul truck.
02:01:15.780 Apparently, he's a Nazi.
02:01:17.000 Yeah, the law enforcement authorities took out the stuff from inside of his truck.
02:01:24.700 Now, hang on just a second.
02:01:25.740 They're at the White House?
02:01:27.480 It was outside the White House, yeah.
02:01:28.840 Yeah, why would you take that out?
02:01:31.480 I mean, look at the Nashville shooter.
02:01:34.880 We can't even get the document, okay?
02:01:36.720 We don't know anything about it.
02:01:38.420 Why would they open up and just put it out on the ground?
02:01:42.860 They kind of put it on the ground to display for the media looking up.
02:01:45.640 Oh, okay.
02:01:46.260 They wanted to just see what it was.
02:01:47.960 That happens all the time.
02:01:48.820 I remember that happening.
02:01:50.040 Very normal.
02:01:50.960 Very normal.
02:01:51.700 Anyway, go ahead.
02:01:52.820 And one of the things this apparent white supremacist had on him was a Nazi flag with a swastika and such.
02:02:01.700 Man, I hate these white supremacists.
02:02:03.380 Yeah.
02:02:03.640 What's this guy's name?
02:02:05.140 Billy Joe Bob?
02:02:06.100 Billy Joe Bob Jones Bob?
02:02:07.920 Yeah.
02:02:08.420 No.
02:02:08.960 No.
02:02:09.180 It's Psy Varshith Kandula.
02:02:15.520 Kandula.
02:02:16.000 This according to Carol Markowitz.
02:02:17.940 That sounds like somebody from Nebraska.
02:02:21.740 Psy Varshith Kandula.
02:02:26.020 Kandula.
02:02:26.600 Yeah.
02:02:26.760 Yeah.
02:02:27.100 No.
02:02:27.280 And I've seen his photo.
02:02:30.520 He would stand out at a white supremacist gathering.
02:02:33.060 Really?
02:02:33.420 Would he?
02:02:33.820 I would say, you know, I think there might be some conversations going on there.
02:02:36.120 Well, you know what?
02:02:36.820 But the new KKK is completely different, Stu.
02:02:39.860 You know, they have a, you know, the whole, tried to redo the whole, you know, KKK thing.
02:02:46.800 They have tried to remake these organizations to be more accepting, apparently.
02:02:51.320 Right.
02:02:51.880 And they, you know.
02:02:52.640 With much success.
02:02:53.320 Right.
02:02:53.640 This is working.
02:02:54.760 Yeah.
02:02:55.020 Because you've got all of the minorities joining this white supremacy group.
02:02:59.120 Yeah.
02:02:59.640 Do we have the, yeah, go ahead and play this.
02:03:02.100 You remember?
02:03:04.040 The new KKK.
02:03:05.100 Yeah.
02:03:05.280 The new KKK, we love the colored Jews and gays.
02:03:10.080 We don't lynch them per se.
02:03:12.200 It's the new KKK way.
02:03:14.020 Yeah.
02:03:14.240 See, this makes total sense.
02:03:15.760 Yeah.
02:03:15.920 This fits with that remaking.
02:03:18.840 Right.
02:03:19.520 Remaking of the KKK.
02:03:20.860 Now, you would ask yourself, why would a white supremacist group want members that are not white?
02:03:31.400 Right.
02:03:31.680 You'd think that would lead to several awkward conversations.
02:03:36.060 Yeah.
02:03:36.380 It might be a little.
02:03:37.180 Like, we're glad you came.
02:03:38.200 Yeah.
02:03:38.560 Thank you for the Sbarro you brought.
02:03:40.460 But.
02:03:40.980 But just.
02:03:41.840 Yeah.
02:03:42.160 You know, in the future, we'd appreciate you being more white.
02:03:45.360 Yes.
02:03:45.820 You know, if you were to join our organization.
02:03:47.420 I mean, there is a reason these guys might not be white and they're allowing them to join.
02:03:52.600 Is.
02:03:53.420 Is there.
02:03:54.260 Well, sure.
02:03:55.060 If, you know, maybe, maybe enrollment is down.
02:03:57.700 Right.
02:03:57.840 Well, no, because I've told it's like the number one threat to the country.
02:04:01.060 You're right, right.
02:04:01.300 So it's way up.
02:04:02.460 It's got to be way up.
02:04:04.380 What is it?
02:04:05.280 I'd like to hear.
02:04:06.160 Maybe tomorrow we'll go to KKK members and ask them because they're everywhere.
02:04:12.060 I hear.
02:04:13.400 Everywhere.
02:04:14.600 Apparently so.
02:04:15.580 Yeah.
02:04:15.700 I just feel like they should.
02:04:17.960 You know, there was a time where they had real standards at the KKK.
02:04:20.620 They usually wanted their people to be white.
