00:00:00.200 Turning 65 feels like you've been dropped into a constant stream of mailers and calls and ads
00:00:05.420 telling you something different about Medicare, and most of it just makes things more confusing.
00:00:09.840 But because this is not a small decision, it's your health care, you need to know you can see the right doctors,
00:00:15.580 you need to get the care that you have to have, and not pay for a plan that doesn't fit your life.
00:00:21.220 This is where Chapter comes in.
00:00:23.340 They don't just hand you options, they look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs,
00:00:27.400 and they help you find a plan that actually works for you.
00:00:31.060 Over the last year, they have helped people in this audience save $1.5 million
00:00:35.300 just by finding better-fitting plans.
00:00:38.280 And it's really sometimes not even about the money.
00:00:40.800 I heard about a guy named Mark.
00:00:42.300 Chapter stepped in, helped him get the care he needed.
00:00:44.880 He said they were absolutely spectacular.
00:00:47.540 So give them a call.
00:00:48.320 The call is free.
00:00:49.500 They've helped thousands in my audience, and they can help you too.
00:00:52.720 Dial pound 250.
00:00:53.740 Say the keyword chapter.
00:00:54.700 It's pound 250 keyword chapter.
00:00:58.060 Hello, America. 0.74

00:01:11.960 But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.

00:01:18.140 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through
00:01:22.680 Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.
00:01:28.300 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,
00:01:33.200 you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.

00:01:52.680 We'll be right back.
00:02:22.680 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:02:34.480 111 times 111 times he pled the fifth hey what's the color of your tie on the vice of my attorney
00:02:48.060 What's the, do you have that folder in front of you?
00:02:50.160 I'm the vice of my attorney.
00:02:51.900 A hundred and eleven times.
00:02:56.320 I don't know about you, but I just want justice.
00:03:00.520 I just want justice.
00:03:02.660 And I don't think it's going to happen.
00:03:05.380 So I have a fallback, which I think might be more important than justice.
00:03:10.260 Is my aura ring going off yet?
00:03:13.420 I have, I have a proposal.
00:03:15.660 I don't know if you're going to like it or not.
00:03:17.780 But I base it in history.
00:03:19.620 You know who, as I'm going through history last night,
00:03:22.680 and I'm like, when has this stuff happened before?
00:03:24.540 You know where I found it?
00:03:26.740 Woodrow Wilson.
00:03:28.420 So we go to Woodrow Wilson for a solution here in 60 seconds.
00:03:33.380 First, let me tell you about Z-Factor.
00:03:35.740 By the way, did I even mention the way I was talking about Fauci?
00:03:38.520 Or does everybody just know?
00:03:40.520 You'd have the best intentions in the world.
00:03:42.320 But if you're running on four or five hours of broken sleep,
00:03:44.820 your brain starts cutting corners.
00:03:46.120 You get impatient faster, you miss things, you should have caught, little problems feel
00:03:51.820 bigger than they really are.
00:03:53.160 That's not a character flaw, that's exhaustion.
00:03:56.040 There's a reason some of your best ideas show up after a really good night's sleep.
00:04:00.140 Your mind finally has a chance to reset and rest.
00:04:03.240 That's why I've been telling you about Z Factor.
00:04:04.900 It's not about knocking you out, it's about helping your body do what it was designed
00:04:07.980 to do in the first place.
00:04:09.420 Fall asleep naturally, stay asleep, and wake up feeling like you're actually rested.
00:04:14.280 The people who created Relief Factor developed Z-Factor because they understood something important.
00:04:18.660 You don't just need to feel better when you sleep well.
00:04:21.960 You need to think better, too.
00:04:23.920 And some days, that makes all the difference.
00:04:25.920 Give Z-Factor a try.
00:04:26.920 Right now, you can save 46% off your first order at $19.95 for the 30-day supply.
00:04:31.560 Call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:04:32.740 That's 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:04:34.520 Or visit relieffactor.com.
00:04:35.940 Better sleep, better days from Z-Factor, relieffactor.com.
00:04:40.120 111 times Fauci and there's no reason there's no reason okay
00:04:47.580 Rand Paul had just released more than a thousand pages pages of Fauci's pandemic era diary
00:04:55.680 how did he get that RFK guess who's on the show today RFK yeah I want to know about the diary
00:05:02.060 how'd you find him what else do you think is there what was the thing that stood out to you
00:05:06.100 Why would he do that?
00:05:08.380 Anyway, RFK is coming up.
00:05:10.720 So Fauci, in his opening statement, says,
00:05:13.080 It's Paul's obvious obsession with me that leaves me no choice but to say nothing.
00:05:20.800 And then one of his lawyers gets thrown out of the room.
00:05:22.700 If you were here yesterday, you witnessed it live.
00:05:24.900 Okay, a few hours later, a little marching band marched through my head.
00:05:32.800 I had fireworks.
00:05:34.580 Thank you, Florida.
00:05:36.620 The attorney general in Florida posted Fauci's lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable.
00:05:43.220 My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci.
00:05:46.740 Now, if you want that little marching band to continue to go on, you should take a pause.
00:05:52.080 If you're listening as a podcast, forward past the next minute and a half.
00:05:58.220 17 state attorney generals have already written to Congress asking for evidence.
00:06:03.060 Florida is the first one to actually move.
00:06:04.720 And the reason your phone lit up is simple.
00:06:07.700 Biden's pardon of Fauci, full, unconditional, covering 11 years, January 14th, January 2025, only reaches federal crimes.
00:06:17.060 That is really important.
00:06:19.260 Federal crimes.
00:06:21.060 A president can't pardon a state offense.
00:06:23.380 Why?
00:06:24.900 And this is so important.
00:06:26.020 This word is so important to understand on so many levels.
00:06:29.780 Because the states are a separate sovereign.
00:06:34.720 The states are each sovereign.
00:06:39.660 Now, 17 attorney generals have been looking into it, and you feel good.
00:06:50.840 Hold off on the fireworks, because let me tell you what a pardon actually is.
00:06:55.500 We've been here before.
00:06:57.840 Woodrow Wilson.
00:07:00.540 February 1914.
00:07:02.120 Man named George Burdick.
00:07:03.500 He is the city editor of a newspaper called the New York Tribune.
00:07:07.920 The Tribune has just run a story about fraud at the New York Customs House,
00:07:12.080 and a federal grand jury wants to know who leaked it.
00:07:16.260 Burdick takes the fifth.
00:07:17.740 He won't give up his source.
00:07:19.580 So Woodrow Wilson does something really clever.
00:07:21.860 He pardons him.
00:07:24.260 Now, not out of mercy.
00:07:25.940 Burdick wasn't charged with anything.
00:07:28.900 Wilson pardoned him to take his silence away
00:07:31.500 Because the Fifth Amendment protects you from incriminating yourself, and a pardoned man can't incriminate himself.
00:07:38.560 Does this sound familiar?
00:07:41.200 Wilson's pardon says so right on the face, or right on his face.
00:07:45.540 It recites that Burdick is expected to refuse to testify and then absolves him of everything he might be asked about.
00:07:54.580 That wasn't a gift, that was a crowbar.
00:07:56.420 okay well george burdick city editor not a lawyer no title no army he got that pardon and he's like
00:08:04.980 wait a minute well you're pardoning me for what i didn't do anything and he said no no woodrow
00:08:11.360 wilson i don't want your pardon and they fight him five hundred dollars and put him in jail
00:08:16.740 okay i don't want it january 25th 1915 supreme court sided with burdick justice mckenna wrote
00:08:24.400 that a pardon has to be accepted to be, to exist. Okay. It's an offer. Listen to this.
00:08:32.480 It's an offer. Delivery is not complete without acceptance and no court has the power to force a
00:08:39.760 man who doesn't want it. So Chief Justice Marshall had said the same thing back in 1833. Nobody had
00:08:46.100 tested it at 80 years. Why? Why? The court said that the part that should stop the celebration
00:08:57.200 in your kitchen, a pardon carries an imputation of guilt, and accepting the pardon is a confession
00:09:06.320 of guilt. So what Fauci said early on was, I have no reason. I can answer anything in front of
00:09:14.660 I have nothing to hide. And then he's pardoned. That's a confession of guilt, according to the
00:09:22.080 Supreme Court. Fauci accepted his. And that's why I think everybody came apart yesterday. Because
00:09:29.160 if a pardon strips away the reason to be silent, a pardon man has nothing left to protect. Whether
00:09:34.360 that logic still holds is genuinely unsettled law. And it is the fight that Paul is picking
00:09:40.040 with a contempt vote here's what happened yesterday here's what Fauci did okay what
00:09:46.880 Fauci did was say I'm not going to answer any questions why everything you did in the past
00:09:56.080 is already pardoned so they can't get you Rand Paul can't get you on anything you did in the
00:10:01.120 past. Unless you're lying to Congress today, he can get you if you lie to Congress today.
00:10:11.280 We know now because we have enough documentation on Fauci, he lied to Congress. So Rand Paul was
00:10:20.560 like, okay, here's this document. How come you said this here and then you told us differently?
00:10:24.960 Here's this document proving you did this and you said you never did that. That's what was
00:10:29.980 happening yesterday. So he would have gone to jail if he answered truthfully. His ego will not
00:10:36.800 allow him to answer anything other than I didn't do those things, which is a lie, which would have
00:10:42.820 put him in prison. Okay. So we have a problem. We have a guy whose ego is so big and we have a PR
00:10:52.740 problem because half the country doesn't, half the country, we're not re-litigating this. This is
00:10:58.140 over. We know what the facts are now. But because the media is compliant with Fauci, nothing's going
00:11:05.060 to happen. Nothing's going to happen. And when I say nothing's going to happen, I gave up on
00:11:10.360 putting Fauci away a long time ago. He's 85. He's not going to prison. Admit it. Would I like him
00:11:17.200 to? Yes, absolutely. Is it right to? Yes. I don't care if he's 197. He goes to prison. But it's not
00:11:24.640 going to happen. It's not going to happen. What we need now is the truth. Now, Florida is not going
00:11:29.560 to win a criminal case, and the pardon doesn't have anything to do with why. The problem here
00:11:36.260 in Florida is the clock. Florida gives prosecutors four years for a first-degree felony, three for
00:11:42.380 most others. The contact that everyone is angry about is 2020 to 2021. That grocery receipt is
00:11:49.340 six years old. It's out. Florida can't do anything about it. Wall 2, the map. Ron DeSantis, former
00:11:56.440 federal prosecutor, said it himself. You need a violation of Florida law and personal jurisdiction
00:12:02.680 over the man. So statements made from a podium in Washington are not acts committed in Tallahassee.
00:12:09.620 Lying to Congress is a District of Columbia problem under federal law, and Florida's perjury
00:12:14.260 statute reaches false testimony only in Florida proceedings. So you can't get him. Wall three.
00:12:20.780 In 1890, the Supreme Court held that a state cannot prosecute a federal officer for doing
00:12:25.960 his federal job. That doctrine covers nearly almost everything Fauci did as the division
00:12:31.220 director at NIH. He raised it, and he'd very likely win it. I want the truth just as much as
00:12:38.700 you do okay um i want the truth on this one probably almost more than anything else because
00:12:45.300 this truth must be restored if we're going to have faith in anything which is why i'm telling
00:12:51.980 you why an indictment that dies on a jurisdiction motion 18 months from now gets us nothing but
00:12:59.220 another news cycle that lasts 18 months and a martyr and nothing satisfying comes out of it
00:13:07.720 So let me go back to Woodrow Wilson.
00:13:11.100 Here's a tool that will actually work, okay?
00:13:15.460 And 1914 hands it to us.
00:13:18.540 Wilson had the right idea, but he had the wrong instrument.
00:13:22.160 Because a pardon can be refused.
00:13:25.140 But a congressional grant of immunity cannot.
00:13:30.080 It isn't grace.
00:13:31.200 It's a statute.
00:13:33.600 Congress votes it.
00:13:34.860 the Fifth Amendment evaporates and the witness either answers or goes to prison for contempt
00:13:40.840 with no defense left. That's the crowbar that doesn't break. He would have to answer the
00:13:47.460 questions or he would have to go to prison because you've just been, you have immunity.
00:13:54.140 The lie of, um, Rand Paul just wants to put you in prison because he hates you
00:13:59.200 flies away because you would immediately say, Rand Paul has no power over you, sir.
00:14:04.860 no power so answer the questions now he could not invoke the fifth he couldn't
00:14:10.860 and if he continued to lie then you could make the case it wouldn't mean he goes to jail but you
00:14:17.900 would have that conversation then explain to me how this is what you said privately and this is
00:14:24.940 what you said to us in public have that conversation it's not going to put him in jail
00:14:29.020 but that's the price you know every fix comes with an invoice if you give him immunity you can
00:14:39.700 never prosecute him for what he tells you you're trading the handcuffs for the transcript but quite
00:14:46.120 honestly the handcuffs are never coming i want the transcript take the transcript burdick spent
00:14:51.880 the night in jail rather than accept a piece of paper that said he'd done nothing wrong
00:14:55.900 He understood something that we've forgotten.
00:14:58.160 A pardon isn't a verdict.
00:15:00.060 It isn't an ending.
00:15:01.780 It's a document that tells you what somebody was afraid of.
00:15:05.660 What is Fauci afraid of?
00:15:07.680 And I have to tell you, Ed only covers jail.
00:15:10.460 I think what Fauci is truly afraid of is the loss of his status.
00:15:18.120 The diaries show it.
00:15:19.480 He is such a megalomaniacal kind of figure.
00:15:25.880 His ego is so out of control.
00:15:28.780 He will not admit it.
00:15:31.140 He won't.
00:15:32.040 You put him in front of Congress with this, I'm telling you, he won't.
00:15:35.360 He won't play ball.
00:15:36.960 You will have the record.
00:15:39.160 We will have the transcript.
00:15:41.500 This is an unsatisfactory and unreasonable ending to this story.
00:15:45.940 America must have the story set and finished soon.
00:15:55.540 11 years, that guy was never charged in 1914.
00:15:59.360 Read that pardon again.
00:16:02.440 Go for congressional immunity.
00:16:06.820 Nobody wants to do it because you'll never put him in jail,
00:16:09.020 but I'm telling you, go for the transcript,
00:16:11.960 not the handcuffs, because the handcuffs are never coming.
00:16:16.820 Back in just a minute.
00:16:18.000 International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is our sponsor.
00:16:20.640 History is filled with moments that people didn't recognize until years later.
00:16:24.140 And then they look back and say, wow, that was the turning point.
00:16:27.200 That was the moment everything changed.
00:16:29.300 We are having those moments every day.
00:16:32.900 The people living through it, they didn't know they were standing in history.
00:16:36.000 They just knew that they had to do something.
00:16:39.480 I wonder how many of us realize we're living in those moments right now.
00:16:43.160 There are families in Israel who have lost everything.
00:16:45.500 They're elderly survivors of the Holocaust who still need food, medicine, a safe place to live,
00:16:50.660 cannot care for themselves and are completely alone.
00:16:53.760 They're communities trying to rebuild after terror, even while the threat hasn't gone away.
00:16:58.660 You can't fix every problem in the world. Nobody can.
00:17:01.200 But you can help move the needle.
00:17:03.980 That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been doing this for decades.
00:17:08.660 They don't just talk about standing with the Jewish people.
00:17:11.280 They do it every single day through practical help that arrives when people need it most.
00:17:16.820 This is about the Jewish people, not the nation of Israel with all of the politics.
00:17:23.600 Join the International Fellowship with Christians and Jews in praying for peace of Jerusalem
00:17:27.900 and for the soldiers and families and the peace all around the world
00:17:30.860 and all of the civilians that are carrying the burden of this fight right now.
00:17:34.200 So go to prayifcj.org.
00:17:36.760 That's prayifcj.org.
00:17:39.740 10 seconds, station ID.
00:17:41.280 so his appearance yesterday uh fauci before the senate brought back a lot of bad memories
00:18:02.240 for a lot of people about the tyranny of science and the so-called experts
00:18:05.860 and people don't understand this was very well calculated and it started a long long time ago
00:18:15.280 how did we become a group of people that stand around and wait to hear from the experts
00:18:21.840 how is that possible i answer that in a seven uh episode podcast called control freaks in history
00:18:31.320 It is really good.
00:18:33.380 You want to understand the progressive movement.
00:18:35.200 You want us to understand how we got to a place to where we all stand around and go,
00:18:39.020 I don't know, it's not my job.
00:18:40.200 It's not really my call.
00:18:41.780 It's common sense.
00:18:43.640 No, well, that's not what the experts say.
00:18:46.060 It's common sense.
00:18:48.000 How did we get here?
00:18:50.600 If you liked the American Story series and you're looking for your next great listen,
00:18:55.780 don't miss Control Freaks in History.
00:18:58.420 Access the full series commercial-free by becoming a Torch Insider.
00:19:01.780 Here's a clip from the first episode.
00:19:04.600 Even when the contradictions piled up, to question the experts,
00:19:09.100 to question the science during a national health crisis was considered dangerous.
00:19:15.280 It's very dangerous, Chuck, because a lot of what you're seeing as attacks on me,
00:19:20.820 quite frankly, are attacks on science.
00:19:23.320 because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from the very beginning
00:19:28.780 have been fundamentally based on science.
00:19:32.280 Sometimes those things were inconvenient truths for people and there was pushback against me.
00:19:38.460 So if you are trying to, you know, get at me as a public health official and a scientist,
00:19:45.440 you're really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you're attacking science.
00:19:50.440 It's unbelievable.
00:19:52.140 The expert was no longer just using science as a tool.
00:19:57.680 The expert had become the science.
00:20:02.880 That is from Control Freak.
00:20:04.700 Seven parts.
00:20:05.560 It's not all about Anthony Fauci.
00:20:07.100 It's how we got to Anthony Fauci.
00:20:08.940 It's really, really good.
00:20:10.960 Takes you through 100 years of history.
00:20:12.580 Really good.

00:20:18.620 I want to show you this.
00:20:19.820 This is a document from history that is very well known.
00:20:30.760 Now, this was signed by Gerald R. Ford later.
00:20:34.920 Somebody came up with him with the document and said, hey, would you sign this?
00:20:38.240 And he signed it.
00:20:39.420 So it's not the official.
00:20:40.520 That's in the National Archives.
00:20:42.180 I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power,
00:20:45.940 conferred upon me on Article 2, Section 2 by the Constitution have been granted and by these
00:20:54.440 presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against
00:21:00.720 the United States with he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part
00:21:05.380 during the period of January 20, 1969 through August 4, 1974. In witness thereof, I have here
00:21:11.520 to set my hand on this eighth day of September in the year of our Lord, 1974. That's Gerald R.
00:21:18.060 Ford that signed that. That made a lot of people really angry on both sides, because there were
00:21:25.980 people that thought he didn't do anything wrong, and others that thought he absolutely did horrible
00:21:32.240 things. Gerald R. Ford said, we need to come together as a nation and just bury this wound.
00:21:38.180 Well, that wound is being picked at again.
00:21:42.000 And I think this time, because, you know,
00:21:45.420 Gerald R. Ford was more of the candidate for my father,
00:21:48.440 but I remember him barely.
00:21:50.100 I remember the day he resigned.
00:21:52.200 I remember being a really small kid, maybe 10 years old,
00:21:54.800 and watching him sitting in front of my TV,
00:21:58.640 way up too close where, you know,
00:22:00.500 I was going to get eye cancer or something.
00:22:02.020 That's what my mom always said.
00:22:03.320 But sitting there in front of the TV and watching it,
00:22:06.500 And my dad being really upset because he's like, he didn't do anything that other presidents haven't done.
00:22:12.140 Why is he being persecuted for this?
00:22:14.500 Others wanted him to go to jail.
00:22:17.660 The pardon put it all in the past.
00:22:19.800 Until now.
00:22:23.700 There is a good, strong possibility that he was a victim of the deep state.
00:22:29.240 The evidence that is coming out now shows that what we knew about Watergate was not what happened.
00:22:39.780 And it's stunning evidence.
00:22:42.100 And I want to go into Richard Nixon and his pardon, but more about who Richard Nixon was.
00:22:50.120 Because there's this new thing where all the kids these days are saying, Nixon now, I love Richard Nixon.
00:22:56.820 Who was Richard Nixon?
00:22:59.240 This, this Fauci thing cannot be covered, cannot be covered.
00:23:04.920 Again, it's deep state.
00:23:06.820 Very likely, exactly what happened to Richard Nixon, deep state control.
00:23:12.720 Except Fauci is a hero.
00:23:14.720 Nixon went against it.
00:23:16.320 More on that next.

00:23:21.420 So you start a business.

00:23:38.680 their lives are affected. Most people don't think about that with a small business owner.
00:23:42.560 Every small business owner has had really bad nights when things are happening in the business
00:23:47.620 that are going wrong and going, how many people are going to be unemployed because I made a mistake
00:23:51.100 or I didn't think this through
00:23:52.260 or I didn't have the right insurance.

00:24:49.260 Uh, welcome to the, uh, welcome to the program.
00:25:08.280 Um, so I was talking about Nixon and talking about Nixon because of the pardon that Fauci
00:25:14.520 gave and this is the pardon uh from nixon or from ford on nixon and everybody just moved on and now
00:25:22.260 it looks like nixon was a victim of the deep state and the evidence is piling up and it looks
00:25:28.600 pretty convincing um and so people are starting i mean have you seen the ball cap that's online
00:25:34.280 right now says nixon max maxing i mean kids born 30 years after watergate buying crew necks with
00:25:41.200 Nixon now, his slogans
00:25:43.280 and everything else. They're cutting
00:25:45.420 archival footage of
00:25:47.320 the 37th president over Biggie
00:25:49.240 Small Records and posting it.
00:25:51.240 And the hat sold out in hours.
00:25:54.280 Wall Street Journal has
00:25:55.260 covered this. The Hill this
00:25:57.340 week, Douglas McKinnon, a former White
00:25:59.240 House and Pentagon official, he
00:26:01.240 said the fascination is real and
00:26:03.260 it's growing and J.D. Vance has
00:26:05.220 noticed.
00:26:08.260 I want to
00:26:09.020 really, I want to be really clear on some things. So we listen very carefully on this. Vance sat
00:26:15.820 down at the Nixon Library on the 25th of June, long conversation about the country and about his
00:26:21.000 new book on faith. And McKinnon said, well, he's going to the Nixon Library to do this
00:26:28.500 because he's reading the tea leaves of the younger generation. Okay. Before anybody in any party
00:26:36.440 starts measuring the drapes. Let's be clear on what's happening here. Gen Z has not fallen in
00:26:43.820 love with Richard Nixon. Gen Z has fallen out of love with everybody in politics. And quite honestly,
00:26:52.260 I think all of us, okay? In 2016, 42% of that generation called themselves liberal. 42% in
00:27:01.140 2016. What is that number today? From 42 to 30. 12 points gone. Where'd they go? Well, conservatives
00:27:14.480 picked up six. Moderates picked up eight. More of them walked to the middle than walked to us.
00:27:21.320 And that's not a conversation or a conversion. That's an exit.
00:27:26.160 they think the american dream has a lock on the door and their name isn't on the list they can't
00:27:34.220 buy a house they can't they can't afford their groceries or gas rent eats their paycheck up
00:27:39.080 that's what they're thinking and both parties have been telling them a story about the future
00:27:43.660 that doesn't match the bank statement that's the problem and the gop i just talked to the
00:27:50.680 president about this i said mr president you know they don't understand they're not hearing
00:27:56.060 and they don't understand.
00:27:57.700 They're suffering and feeling real pain right now.
00:27:59.980 And he is really good at understanding this.
00:28:03.340 He really is.
00:28:04.320 I've never seen a president more in touch with the average person,
00:28:07.940 but for some reason, this is not translating here. 0.98
00:28:12.320 And the GOP sucks at it and always have.
00:28:15.520 So when you're presented with a closed door, what do you do? 0.91
00:28:19.660 Well, these people started looking into the past
00:28:22.000 and some of them landed on socialism
00:28:23.940 And some landed on Richard Nixon.
00:28:26.680 And here's the part I didn't know until this week.
00:28:31.820 We've been here before.
00:28:33.920 Exactly here.
00:28:36.200 The voting age had just dropped to 18.
00:28:40.020 And overnight, millions of new voters, listen to this, millions of new voters, the Woodstock generation, the campus generation, were handed a ballot.
00:28:49.660 They lowered it to 18.
00:28:52.420 Why?
00:28:52.900 Why? Because the progressive left knew we got the kids. 1.00
00:28:56.920 George McGovern's top strategist looked at it and said,
00:29:00.020 Nixon just handed us the presidency.
00:29:02.180 13 million kids, it's over.
00:29:04.900 McGovern's going to win.
00:29:06.860 Nixon's people didn't argue.
00:29:09.000 They organized against him, okay?
00:29:11.520 They built an outfit called Young Voters for the President.
00:29:14.900 Please, America, learn from this.
00:29:16.260 GOP, learn from this.
00:29:18.140 400,000 members, and they made one decision
00:29:22.360 that changed everything. They stopped chasing the campus. They went after the kids who weren't
00:29:29.000 in college, the apprentice, the enlisted men, the young marrieds, the kids with a job and a car
00:29:34.600 payment. They went after them. The man who ran it, Ken Reitz, he put his theory in a sentence.
00:29:41.040 He said, most young voters do not want a president who's one of them. And then he compared it to
00:29:47.300 fatherhood. Most kids don't want a dad who's a pal. They want a dad who's steady. So November
00:29:52.420 came. Remember, progressives are thinking they're going to win because they have the kids locked.
00:29:58.300 November comes McGovern, the anti-war candidate in the first anti-war generation's first election,
00:30:06.260 carries voters under 25 with 52 percent, 52. He barely split the generation that was supposed to
00:30:12.600 be his birthright because they were the ones that were going to be drafted and go to war.
00:30:17.300 So that's a hopeful story if you're a GOP and you care to learn from it.
00:30:21.820 But it's also a warning if you're paying attention.
00:30:25.120 Because both halves are true.
00:30:27.600 And only one of them ever gets repeated.
00:30:31.640 Nixon didn't win those kids by being cool.
00:30:35.380 He was never going to be cool.
00:30:37.680 He won them by taking their material lives seriously.
00:30:42.560 The draft, the job, the price of things.
00:30:45.260 The refusing to flatter them. Now, two years later, he was gone and the generation who had, you know, put this in, they're standing around kicking rocks. What the hell just happened? Because nothing is purchased permanently. It was rented. Those kids that put him in turned on him as well because they thought Watergate was real.
00:31:11.400 This happens.
00:31:12.200 You rent voters one election at a time.
00:31:15.500 Same arithmetic today.
00:31:18.200 Polling has shown the president's approval with voters under 30 has fallen sharply since he took office the second time.
00:31:23.660 The same young men who moved right on culture are the ones getting flattened by rent.
00:31:29.920 And if our answer to them is, you know what?
00:31:32.100 Well, you live under your hat.
00:31:33.380 They're going to go find somebody else's hat.
00:31:35.980 Okay?
00:31:37.660 Now, there's one other thing on Nixon.
00:31:39.440 for people who are cheering for Nixon.
00:31:42.500 I think you're right about him being set up by the deep state.
00:31:46.220 I haven't done enough homework on it to tell you that you are.
00:31:48.760 I think you are on to something.
00:31:51.840 But you have to know what else you're cheering for.
00:31:55.480 Nixon was for wage and price controls.
00:31:59.600 That's the federal government setting what your labor is worth.
00:32:03.320 He also closed the gold window.
00:32:06.260 That's what caused all of this inflation.
00:32:09.060 He created the EPA.
00:32:11.320 He had an enemies list with American citizens' names on it.
00:32:15.940 This is a man who expanded federal power in ways that should make a room full of conservatives go very, very quiet and uncomfortable.
00:32:25.920 If what young adults like is the toughness and the instinct for working people, I take it.
00:32:34.020 And you should take it.
00:32:35.060 That's real.
00:32:35.660 That's worth having.
00:32:36.580 That's what the GOP needs to recognize.
00:32:38.480 But if what you like is a president who decides what things cost, who the enemies are of the state, then we have a different conversation to have.
00:32:47.640 And I would rather have it now than in 2028 because if we're arguing this in 2028, it's going to be argued by the same people who think Qatar is the greatest place ever.
00:32:59.480 And maybe we should be more like Qatar.
00:33:01.140 Maybe we should be more like these states that have all these laws and they just tell people how to live. 0.99
00:33:06.640 No, no.
00:33:08.480 But that is, to some degree, that was what Nixon was like.
00:33:12.760 He was making the decisions, not you.
00:33:17.240 So here's a principle underneath all of it.
00:33:20.000 And it's the same one I come back to every single day on this program.
00:33:23.500 The left looks at Generation Z and sees them as a block, a demographic,
00:33:28.340 a column in a spreadsheet that was promised to them at birth,
00:33:32.640 and now it's being stolen.
00:33:34.780 I mean, listen to the words they use.
00:33:36.160 When they talk about people who are voting differently than them in this voting bloc, they've betrayed us.
00:33:43.080 It's backlash.
00:33:43.800 They're radicalized.
00:33:45.980 That's the vocabulary of ownership.
00:33:49.600 They think they own the young generation.
00:33:52.940 You can only be betrayed by something you believed you owned.
00:33:58.420 McGovern strategists thought he owned 13 million kids in 1972.
00:34:03.920 He didn't own a single one of them.
00:34:05.420 They are not a generation. They are 70 million individual people running 70 million individual calculations about rent and work and marriage and God, and every last one of them can smell, I'm being lied to.
00:34:22.680 So they're not a Republican asset. They're not a Democrat asset.
00:34:27.780 Can we get our parties to understand they're individual people and you have to earn people one at a time?
00:34:39.400 So if there's a 19-year-old in your life who just discovered Richard Nixon, or you did, and you think you found the answer, be careful to cheer.
00:34:51.260 What do you like about him? 0.79
00:34:52.720 Let me hand you the whole file, the wage controls with the working class instinct, the enemies list with the landslide, the getting us off the gold standard. 0.79
00:35:06.360 Do the thing that every generation actually did or that generation actually in 1972 did, which was think for yourself and embarrass every professional who has ever counted you as mine. 0.62
00:35:22.720 GOP, this is how you win.
00:35:25.680 Stop going after the campus.
00:35:30.120 One is the only unit there has ever been.
00:35:34.000 More in a minute.
00:35:37.260 Dogs are a lot like people in one respect.
00:35:41.580 Well, in a lot of others, they're not anything at all like people.
00:35:46.700 Men. 1.00
00:35:47.580 You know, that's the thing that women don't understand. 1.00
00:35:50.040 We are just like dogs. 1.00
00:35:51.120 We don't care.
00:35:51.900 We'll go wherever you put us in the car.
00:35:53.720 Where do you want to eat?
00:35:54.560 I don't know.
00:35:55.080 When you put food on the floor, I'll eat it off the floor.
00:35:57.820 I don't care where we eat.
00:35:59.340 And you get so upset.
00:36:00.100 My dog, my husband, won't make a decision where we should go eat.
00:36:04.980 Because we don't care.
00:36:06.420 We don't care.
00:36:07.200 We have a lot in common with dogs.
00:36:09.100 We don't care.
00:36:09.720 We don't care. 0.88
00:36:10.300 You can kick us off the couch.
00:36:11.300 We'll sleep on the floor.
00:36:11.980 That's okay.
00:36:12.980 Anyway, your dog, keeping them hydrated and healthy, it's your job.

00:37:12.660 Glenn Beck will be back right after this.
00:37:18.920 So tomorrow I'm going to take phone calls from parents that have talked to your kids
00:37:45.120 and use the Socratic method.
00:37:50.040 And by the way, Socrates, you know, ancient Greece,
00:37:53.400 somebody, I talked to somebody and they're like,
00:37:54.760 I don't know, Socrates, who is this?
00:37:56.340 I'm like, oh my gosh, the education system is so bad.
00:37:59.280 Socrates, great thinker.
00:38:00.760 He was known for asking questions.
00:38:03.080 They killed him actually because he said,
00:38:05.900 he was going around all the rich people in ancient Greece
00:38:08.460 and he was like, you know,
00:38:09.920 they say you're the smartest person.
00:38:12.640 So I want to ask you some questions.
00:38:13.920 and they would ask a series of questions and then he realized, no, you're not that smart.
00:38:17.820 Nope, it's not you. Do you know somebody smarter than you? Well, he pissed off everybody. He was
00:38:21.920 like, he came to me because I was the smartest and then he's like, no, it's definitely not you.
00:38:27.600 So, but he had a way of getting to answers just by asking critical questions. This is critical
00:38:34.900 thinking. Okay. So I set out some things on socialism and your kids may not be socialist
00:38:40.040 And that's fine. Celebrate, celebrate. But your kids are going to have to defend the free market to socialists. So they need to know what questions to ask. So we set these out and I ask you to have a conversation with your kids and then call in. That show is tomorrow. I want you to call in tomorrow and tell me what happened.
00:39:00.560 And Peters wrote in and said, it's an incredibly great list and idea to address what we can do.
00:39:05.900 My kids are in their 20s, all working with good jobs.
00:39:08.160 They never bought into the commie ideas and propaganda, but now are working.
00:39:11.340 They see more reason to believe it is a threat.
00:39:14.740 I'm telling you, they are going to be faced with these things.
00:39:18.560 Cindy wrote in, my 14-year-old son and I went over all the questions, and it went really well.
00:39:23.060 He sees, oh, we have her on the phone?
00:39:24.700 Do I have time?
00:39:25.520 Let me take her real quick. 1.00
00:39:26.620 Cindy, go ahead.
00:39:27.260 um yes i had a conversation with my son last night and um just to preface this he and i
00:39:35.820 have had some battles talking about how he feels um socialist things are helpful and of course i
00:39:44.480 um had some some things to say back to him that probably you know were a little bit uh loud right
00:39:52.660 Right. So we weren't on the same page on that. But the conversations that we had last night did go really well. And we we we were civil.
00:40:01.220 He explained a lot of how he was feeling that capitalism is it doesn't it doesn't last because it falls on people or men and women to make decisions that end up eventually being self-serving.
00:40:24.080 So the leadership won't do that.
00:40:27.560 Anyway, I'm sorry.
00:40:28.480 I shouldn't have said that.
00:40:29.160 Yeah, no, no. And that's what you don't say to your kids.
00:40:32.780 You know, the people. Yeah, well, but that's that was the thing.
00:40:37.500 It's like, you know, if we're relying on elected officials to fix this and they're self-serving, that it's not going to get fixed.
00:40:45.720 So he thinks capitalism is either going to. I'll go ahead.
00:40:49.960 No, no. So I just wanted to know. So did you you made progress in having a conversation?
00:40:55.700 Is this a conversation you might be able to have again with your son?
00:41:00.300 Or was it like the typical conversation that you have with your kids where they just don't want to talk to you anymore, Mom?
00:41:07.980 No, actually, he was, honestly, he was thrilled.
00:41:12.200 And I was, we really had a very good, it was like two hours long last night that we talked.
00:41:17.340 Wow, good for you.
00:41:19.060 He ended up, yeah, it was, and he wants to have more talks with this.
00:41:23.080 And actually, he went and got a spiral bound notebook because he wanted to write down his ideas of what he was actually trying to say.
00:41:32.280 Because, of course, you know, when I'm hearing him say socialism, I'm like, no, what are you talking about?
00:41:37.260 I know, I know.
00:41:38.300 Cindy, have him listen to.
00:41:42.020 Exactly.
00:41:42.660 That's exactly what I was hoping you would get, is that parents will see what their children are seeing and understand where they're coming from.
00:41:49.520 Have him listen to control freaks.
00:41:52.140 You're a Torch member.
00:41:53.960 Have them listen to Control Freaks because that shows you what men do when they're in charge of making the decisions on their own and the government is behind it.
00:42:02.880 Control Freaks is really good.
00:42:04.740 You might want to share that.
00:42:06.020 Cindy, thank you for doing this.
00:42:07.480 Thank you for sharing.
00:42:08.720 If you want that list of questions and don't argue with your kids, do not argue.
00:42:13.340 Just try to find out what they're thinking.

00:44:52.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:00.140 Hello, America.
00:45:01.300 There's a couple things I want to talk to you about.
00:45:02.700 I want to talk to you about the price of food and the price of your gasoline.
00:45:06.200 I'm going to start with food, and then Chris Wright is going to join me in about 30 minutes,
00:45:11.820 and he's our energy secretary.
00:45:13.380 And I have some serious questions about the price of gasoline.
00:45:16.240 A lot of them come from our insider audience.
00:45:18.700 You know, why aren't we building refineries right now?
00:45:22.200 If light, sweet crude is what we're pulling out of the ground, why aren't we refining that?
00:45:27.560 And it has some, I'll let him get into it.
00:45:30.580 But also, I want to know several other things that are happening right now with the energy department.
00:45:38.400 And one of them is, are these data centers, is it true that they are pulling all kinds of electricity?
00:45:48.280 What's the truth on that?
00:45:50.040 We get it from the energy secretary here in just a second.
00:45:53.220 You take it for what it is worth.
00:45:55.000 Now, let me talk to you about Chapter, our sponsor.
00:45:58.420 There are some things in life that are complicated because they have to be.
00:46:02.060 And then there are things that are complicated because somebody benefits from the confusion.
00:46:05.000 And that second category, unfortunately, is very common when it comes to pretty much anything that a bureaucratic pencil pusher, you know, gets to put their hands on.
00:46:14.600 Take Medicare. You're expected to understand parts A, B and C and D and know when to enroll and avoid penalties and sort through the countless plans that all claim to be the best.
00:46:23.000 Well, I don't even know what I'm doing. That's why I like Chapter.
00:46:26.260 Chapter is an organization started by a group of tech guys that saw their parents being ripped off and they were like, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:33.620 You did what?
00:46:34.820 You had somebody sell you what?
00:46:37.020 They started a company because they were pissed that their parents were ripped off,
00:46:41.220 and they want to make sure other parents are not ripped off.
00:46:44.980 They take a look at all of the Medicare options.
00:46:47.640 Sometimes that'll mean that you switch plans.
00:46:49.780 Sometimes it means staying where you are, but they give you honest advice, and that's rare.
00:46:53.860 On the average, chapter has helped save people $1,100 a year on their health care costs.
00:46:59.640 That's a lot of money.
00:47:00.220 That's what I think George or Barack Obama promised that you would save.
00:47:04.180 They're actually delivering.
00:47:05.820 If you're turning 65 or you've been on Medicare for years or whatever, make the call.
00:47:10.820 It's free.
00:47:11.720 If your parents are, make sure your parents are talking to these people.
00:47:16.540 Get the straight answer.
00:47:17.560 Dial pound 250.
00:47:18.600 Say the keyword chapter.
00:47:19.560 It's pound 250.
00:47:20.520 Keyword chapter.
00:47:24.240 All right.
00:47:25.260 I want to talk to you about solutions here.
00:47:28.960 and solutions that are good and bad.
00:47:31.660 And if we're going to have conversations with our kids and others about the world,
00:47:39.200 we have to know the facts, we have to know the truth,
00:47:42.500 and we have to meet people where they live.
00:47:44.800 And that sometimes means, you know,
00:47:47.380 when you're talking to somebody who's believing in socialism,
00:47:50.500 not questioning their character,
00:47:53.460 finding out first, do they actually believe,
00:47:56.040 do they know enough about socialism?
00:47:57.460 What do they actually believe about socialism?
00:48:00.040 Do they know that socialism is, according to Marx, the step between capitalism and communism?
00:48:07.400 And what kind of socialism they're talking about?
00:48:10.720 And just don't assume the worst of people.
00:48:13.380 Have conversations and listen more than you talk.
00:48:16.300 Ask questions.
00:48:17.480 See, really understand where they're coming from.
00:48:20.440 And then have the facts when, you know, you're ready.
00:48:23.660 anybody who is supporting the grocery stores up in New York, 50 Chamber of Commerces voted this
00:48:30.460 week to sue the city of New York. 50 Chamber of Commerces. Not 50 CEOs, 50 Chambers. The
00:48:37.980 Chamber of Commerce for the Asian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Jewish-owned
00:48:43.340 business groups, all organized together in a non-profit called the Multicultural Business
00:48:49.400 coalition. And their chairman is Frank Garcia. He told the New York Post that the board has
00:48:55.260 authorized a lawsuit in the coming weeks, and they're raising a million dollars to pay for it.
00:48:59.120 Letter is going to city hall, notifying the mayor that he's about to be sued.
00:49:02.880 Now, Garcia's explanation was two sentences. The mayor won't sit down with him. And the mayor,
00:49:09.620 he said, isn't going to be able to bully the lawyers that they're bringing in.
00:49:13.720 So what are they suing over?
00:49:15.980 $70 million of city money to open five government grocery stores, one per borough.
00:49:23.180 This week, the mayor put the numbers on it, 30% off the core basket, all fresh produce, all meat, all seafood, plus about 20 staples like milk, cheese, and bread.
00:49:32.300 His phrase was no exceptions, no gimmicks.
00:49:37.000 Okay, I want you to think now as a person that owns a small store or a bodega.
00:49:42.960 Do the arithmetic that every bodega owner in Queens did the second they heard that.
00:49:48.980 A grocery store is one of the thinnest businesses in America.
00:49:53.300 One to two percent net margin.
00:49:56.080 You come with your cart and you're paying $100.
00:49:59.220 The man behind the counter clears $1.50.
00:50:02.480 The store clears $1.50.
00:50:04.880 We went to the store.
00:50:06.060 I think we spent like $350.
00:50:09.700 They're making less than five bucks off of me.
00:50:12.680 That's incredible. Why? Because he has to pay the rent and the landlord. He has to pay the property taxes through that rent. He pays, you know, if you're in New York, Con Ed, you have to have the refrigeration, the insurance, the guy who stocks the cooler at five in the morning, who you're now paying $20 an hour.
00:50:32.120 The city store is not paying any rent.
00:50:34.460 It's sitting on city property.
00:50:35.720 It doesn't pay property tax.
00:50:37.180 It can't go out of business because losing money is not failure for a government store.
00:50:42.360 It's a budget line, okay?
00:50:44.460 One analysis this week projected the city loses about 28 cents on every dollar those stores will ring up.
00:50:51.700 28 cents in loss.
00:50:54.540 So the competition is not between two grocers.
00:50:57.920 It's between a grocer and a grocer's tax collector.
00:51:03.900 So here's the part worth being fair about, because it's true.
00:51:07.780 The mayor's not lying about the problem.
00:51:10.020 Food in poor neighborhoods, it does cost more.
00:51:13.400 A corner store in Brownsville really does charge more for a gallon of milk than the Whole Foods in Tribeca.
00:51:20.140 Why?
00:51:21.240 Because Whole Foods is buying in bulk.
00:51:23.360 It buys in smaller volumes.
00:51:25.940 It has to eat more in theft.
00:51:29.120 It has to pay more per square foot, more security, all of these things.
00:51:34.440 There are blocks in New York City where the nearest full grocery store is a bus ride away, and those are real.
00:51:41.060 So I can look at that.
00:51:42.680 You can look at that.
00:51:43.500 The socialists can look at that and say, I want to fix that.
00:51:46.700 You know, I think that makes you a good man for wanting to fix it.
00:51:51.480 The trouble isn't the heart.
00:51:53.740 The trouble happens in the head.
00:51:55.720 It's what happens next.
00:51:57.380 Because the price is not a decision somebody makes.
00:52:00.980 A price is a piece of information.
00:52:03.820 The whole economy, every farmer, every truck, every port, every shortage and surplus on earth
00:52:10.060 is compressed into one number that tells the grocer what that stock is worth
00:52:19.220 and what to put on the shelves and what a shopper wants to buy.
00:52:22.840 All of those things.
00:52:24.600 When it comes to government setting the number by decree, it hasn't changed the information.
00:52:30.300 It's only stopped broadcasting it.
00:52:33.020 The shortage is still there, but now nobody can see it.
00:52:37.800 We've been here before.
00:52:40.380 I can't believe it.
00:52:41.520 I'll take you to the winter.
00:52:42.580 Hang with me for a second because this is really important.
00:52:45.340 The winter of 362.
00:52:48.040 Let me take you to Antioch.
00:52:49.340 The Roman emperor there was Julian.
00:52:53.880 He was in town, and he was, by every account, including his enemies, genuinely an austere man.
00:52:59.260 He slept little. He ate plainly.
00:53:01.480 He had contempt for luxury, and he found out that Antioch was short on grain, and prices were climbing.
00:53:08.260 So he looked at the merchants, and he said, you're just price gouging.
00:53:12.880 So he did the obvious decent thing, right?
00:53:16.480 He fixed the price of grain by decree.
00:53:20.480 So you want to see how this doesn't work?
00:53:22.720 Let's go back to 362.
00:53:25.120 And you can fill in all the way from 362 to today and show it's the same story.
00:53:31.840 So what happened?
00:53:32.800 The grain vanished.
00:53:34.480 Why?
00:53:35.480 Well, not because the merchants were wicked, but because at the emperor's price,
00:53:39.160 it was worth more everywhere else in the Mediterranean than it was in Antioch.
00:53:45.060 so Julian went further
00:53:47.280 he bought grain
00:53:49.140 out of Egypt
00:53:50.620 brings it out with his own money
00:53:53.020 ships it in and sold it in the city
00:53:55.580 at his price
00:53:56.860 what happened
00:53:58.340 people started buying all of it up
00:54:01.060 and then carrying it out of the gates
00:54:02.960 and reselling it at the real price
00:54:05.620 what happened
00:54:06.960 the city got hungrier
00:54:08.880 hungrier than it was before
00:54:11.240 he arrived
00:54:12.060 so you have two choices you can either stop that madness or you can now get the guns
00:54:19.360 and say you are going to do this and then you got to start building walls around your city
00:54:24.680 so Antioch responds to it the way cities do they wrote songs about him mocking little verses about
00:54:31.060 his philosopher's beard sung in the streets Julian the emperor of Rome sat down and wrote
00:54:36.900 a pamphlet answering them. He called them the beard hater, okay? He nailed it up in the public
00:54:43.340 square. In it, he explained at length that his policy had been sound and the people of Antioch
00:54:48.780 were greedy and soft and they had failed him. Then he left. That pamphlet still exists. You
00:54:54.980 can read it. Just go online. It's an amazing thing. 1,600 years later, the oldest detailed
00:55:02.500 record we have of a government capping the price of food is also a government blaming the citizens
00:55:09.740 for what the cap is doing. Which brings me to the chairman of the New York City Democratic
00:55:16.400 Socialists of America, a Mamdani ally, asked about the bodegas this week. What he said was,
00:55:26.260 if one publicly owned grocery store is bringing prices down enough to put a man out of
00:55:32.480 business, then maybe he shouldn't
00:55:34.580 have been in that business in the first place.
00:55:38.720 Wait, you can lose
00:55:40.180 28 cents on every dollar.
00:55:42.700 That's not a business. That's not
00:55:44.420 business. That's
00:55:45.840 communism.
00:55:48.160 Follow the sequence. The bodega on
00:55:50.460 the corner loses 10% of its traffic
00:55:52.560 and it has to close.
00:55:54.080 The halal butcher, two doors down, loses
00:55:56.320 foot traffic. The bodega
00:55:57.860 closes.
00:56:00.580 Now Mamdani Mart
00:56:02.100 is the only food on the block,
00:56:03.960 which means the discount is no longer competing with anything.
00:56:07.620 It's just an expense, and the expenses get cut,
00:56:11.100 and the next budget crunch, the next mayor,
00:56:13.340 the next fiscal emergency, the subsidy gets trimmed
00:56:15.900 and the shelves thin out,
00:56:17.180 and the neighborhood that had four imperfect stores
00:56:20.040 now only has one bad one.
00:56:22.780 You didn't end the food desert.
00:56:24.640 You brought it out and put a city seal on it.
00:56:29.000 I've told you before this week,
00:56:30.440 Kansas City ran a small version of this in 2024.
00:56:32.980 The city-supported grocery store lost the state close to, I think it was like $900,000.
00:56:42.180 The nonprofit that was brought in to run it ended up suing the city over the condition of the store.
00:56:48.760 So what would work?
00:56:51.400 What do we do?
00:56:53.760 We can go back to $362,000 and show this doesn't work.
00:56:58.180 Here's what it does.
00:56:59.040 Feed the person.
00:57:02.520 Stop looking at collectives.
00:57:04.860 Feed the person, not the storefront.
00:57:08.180 Put money in the hands of the family.
00:57:10.640 Snap, wick, a card, cash.
00:57:13.260 You judge it by the person.
00:57:16.180 Then the bodega, the supermarket, the butcher, the farmer's market,
00:57:19.660 all compete for that dollar, and the family picks the winner.
00:57:24.580 Government pays for the groceries and stays out of the grocery business.
00:57:29.040 You know, the honest objection here is a good one.
00:57:33.860 A card doesn't help if there's no store within two miles.
00:57:36.320 That's fair.
00:57:36.920 But the answer to no store is to make it cheaper and faster to open a store.
00:57:42.480 It's the zoning, the permitting, the licensing,
00:57:46.240 the 11 agencies that a man has to satisfy to sell a banana in New York City.
00:57:50.680 It took me a year and a half to build a studio in New York City.
00:57:54.940 A year and a half.
00:57:56.340 I opened one in Texas in four weeks.
00:58:02.000 Okay, don't open a store the taxpayer owns and then let it kill the four that were already there.
00:58:07.540 You want to talk about a food desert?
00:58:09.580 The people suing New York this week are not hedge funds.
00:58:12.880 They are the very people who came from San Domingo or Seoul or Aleppo who worked.
00:58:19.460 Who worked somebody else's counter until they could buy their own.
00:58:23.480 who put their name on an awning in a language their grandmother spoke.
00:58:27.940 They were told a socialist administration would be on their side,
00:58:30.840 and they found out, wow, no, uh-uh, the socialist administration wants my customers.
00:58:37.160 This is not reasonable, and it is not compassion.
00:58:43.800 It can start as compassion.
00:58:45.960 It starts with, I want to help people.
00:58:49.040 I want to feed people.
00:58:51.020 But you must, that's your heart.
00:58:53.480 you must now couple that with your brain and play it all the way down the line to see through history.
00:59:02.380 I can show you, from 362, a million examples where socialism doesn't work.
00:59:08.740 Show me one where it does.
00:59:12.420 Back in a minute.
00:59:14.160 The International Fellowship.
00:59:16.180 One of the things that has always moved me about the Jewish people is their refusal to let suffering have the last word.
00:59:22.460 Throughout history, they've been forced from their homes.
00:59:24.760 They've been persecuted, scattered across the world.
00:59:27.060 And yet they kept building.
00:59:28.360 They kept believing.
00:59:29.260 They kept coming home.
00:59:30.980 That story is being written today.
00:59:32.980 And there are Jewish families living under constant threat of terrorism.
00:59:36.920 There are people who are elderly, who can't make ends meet.
00:59:41.120 There are children who wake up to air raid sirens instead of alarm clocks.
00:59:45.240 There are people around the world who have decided, I can't walk down the street anymore.
00:59:50.940 I thought I was safe in New York City. 0.96
00:59:54.380 I'm not safe anywhere but Israel. 1.00
00:59:56.740 What does that make you say?
00:59:59.220 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists.
01:00:02.420 They provide food and shelter and emergency aid, security,
01:00:06.420 and they help those Jewish families return to their ancient homeland, among other things.
01:00:11.980 And they don't just talk about standing with Israel.
01:00:14.480 They put a commitment into action every single day by looking at the individual
01:00:18.200 and helping the individual.
01:00:19.760 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, praying for the peace of Jerusalem and for the soldiers and the families and the civilians carrying the burden of this right now.
01:00:30.080 Visit PrayIFCJ.org. That's PrayIFCJ.org.
01:00:35.820 Ten seconds, Station ID.
01:00:49.760 Oh, my gosh. Tomorrow, I'm asking people who have met with their kids, and your kids don't have to be socialists. It'll just be a way for you to open a conversation. Whenever you talk about politics, most likely in your house, because it's like mine, your kids will roll their eyes because they've heard you rant at the TV. They've heard you rant at the news, and they know exactly who you're for, what you're for.
01:01:14.720 okay you're not going to get anywhere by ranting at them you have to listen to them and this is
01:01:22.440 something I'm working with on my own in my own life because it's easy for me I've done all the
01:01:26.820 homework and it's so easy look kids listen to me I know kids don't want that they don't want that
01:01:32.800 they have to find it on their own and if you want to know where your kids are on socialism and where
01:01:40.800 they're vulnerable, ask them questions. So I put together at glennbeck.com a list of questions
01:01:46.620 about socialism. When people are saying socialism or you say socialism, do you mean government pays
01:01:55.240 for things or the government owns things? Now your kids have to engage their brain. Like I said
01:02:00.740 just a minute ago, it's heart and head. And if your kids don't have a heart and want to help the
01:02:08.400 you know at this point at 20 something you're in trouble because by the time they get to 60 and
01:02:15.100 it's all head um because they've seen their hearts been trampled on for so many years
01:02:20.120 they're in trouble you know churchill said if you're if you're a liberal at 20 um that makes
01:02:26.640 sense um but you will turn into i can't remember how he exactly he said it but basically when you
01:02:31.960 hit 40 once you have kids and you have a family you'll turn conservative or you're a sports player
01:02:36.560 um but i want you to go over this with your kids and we posted them at glennbeck.com
01:02:42.000 uh you can find it it's the questions about socialism your kids don't have to be socialist
01:02:47.040 your kids know socialist your kids are being influenced by socialist um and so you just sit
01:02:53.520 down with them do not argue with them don't argue anything just ask them a series and these
01:03:00.020 questions are there and you can improvise but they have to be honest probing questions about
01:03:05.320 socialism and how they think things work. Ask them about America. I'd really stick to socialism
01:03:14.100 on this one test, but I'm going to give you some others. If this works, because I want to hear
01:03:18.020 from people. I just heard from Cindy about half an hour ago, said her 15-year-old son sat with
01:03:23.980 her last night, and normally they do not have these conversations, and it doesn't go well.
01:03:29.160 And she said, I usually end up saying things that I shouldn't have said, and I say them loudly.
01:03:34.540 She said, but I played by the rules, and I just asked him questions.
01:03:37.040 She said, we talked for two hours, and he wants to talk more.
01:03:42.720 I want you to gauge and just see what your children are saying.
01:03:47.900 And again, they can be in their 20s, and they're not socialist.
01:03:52.360 It's important because they're surrounded by socialists,
01:03:55.840 and they have to learn how to ask questions of their socialist friends
01:03:59.700 to get them to think.
01:04:01.520 We can't just write them up.
01:04:02.760 my kids aren't socialists. So I write everybody else up. No, no, we need everybody on this.
01:04:08.860 So teach how to talk about that. And tomorrow I'm asking anybody who has done this with their kids
01:04:13.780 to call in and tell me how it went. What did you learn about your kids? Uh, what did you,
01:04:20.440 what did you, what did you see? What happened? How did it go? What did you learn that you should
01:04:26.060 never do that that's on tomorrow's program um also there is something else i'm getting so much
01:04:35.140 email from people who are listening to the american story it's out on um i think we're up to
01:04:42.420 is it episode 15 that's coming out this week i think 6 16 this week all 20 episodes commercial
01:04:49.120 free are available at glenbeck.com slash torch but i'm getting so many people who are listening
01:04:53.540 to it, I got a letter from somebody who said, I've listened to it now four times. I've learned
01:04:59.660 so much from this. Pass it on to your kids. But there's something else that I want to remind you,
01:05:04.860 especially with Fauci, what was happening with Fauci yesterday. I want you to listen to an
01:05:09.040 eight-part series called Control Freaks. It's an audio podcast that I did, and it's on Control
01:05:17.360 Freaks. How did we get to the situation to where we just listen to the experts all the time?
01:05:23.540 I'll give you a hint, Woodrow Wilson.
01:05:26.880 Make sure you check it out.
01:05:28.120 Glennbeck.com slash torch.
01:05:30.480 All, I think, seven or eight episodes commercial-free available right now
01:05:34.900 called Control Freaks.
01:05:37.180 Glennbeck.com slash torch.
01:05:40.060 All right.
01:05:40.760 If you've ever tried to fix something around the house,
01:05:42.800 you know that there's a moment you have to decide,
01:05:46.020 am I really saving money or am I making a bigger mess?
01:05:49.480 Because I have no clue as to what I'm doing.
01:05:52.580 Sometimes you can handle it yourself, and then sometimes you need somebody who, you know, does it for a living.
01:05:57.020 Buying or selling a home falls into that second category.
01:06:00.420 There are too many moving parts.
01:06:02.120 Pricing, negotiation, inspections, contracts, timing.
01:06:05.540 One small mistake can cost you far more than you ever save trying to go it alone.
01:06:10.880 That's why I started RealEstateAgentsITrust.com because I don't even know how to find a real estate agent.
01:06:15.620 I didn't know what questions to ask.
01:06:17.720 Can you sell my house?
01:06:19.020 Yes.
01:06:19.600 Okay, you're hired.
01:06:21.580 How do you, I mean, I need somebody who understands.
01:06:25.100 I need somebody who is good at it.
01:06:26.700 I need somebody with a real track record.
01:06:28.680 I need somebody who understands my values, what I'm looking for in a house.
01:06:32.240 All of it.
01:06:32.860 I need somebody who knows the market, how to advertise, get the most people through my house without putting balloons up every Saturday for another walkthrough.
01:06:40.600 It's nightmarish.
01:06:41.920 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:06:44.500 We're going to give you a couple of real estate agents in your area that we have vetted and
01:06:48.680 watch thoroughly that you can trust.

01:06:53.960 Glenn AI podcast episodes exclusively for Torch members at glennbeck.com.
01:07:14.500 so you know we might we might want to reschedule chris wright if he's not
01:07:35.680 you know on the phone pretty soon um he was scheduled to be on with us at the top he is
01:07:41.020 the U.S. Energy Secretary. But I want to talk to him about a couple of things. Why can't Trump,
01:07:49.240 Trump could build anything so fast. Why can't we get a oil refinery for light sweet crude here
01:07:55.800 opened quickly? What about the strategic oil reserves? I am hearing, I'm talking to people
01:08:02.040 off air and I am hearing it is really bad. I went back and looked at our archive. He was on with us
01:08:08.340 in may chris wright was and he said look it's doing damage to it now it's so low uh that was
01:08:14.580 before i think we started the war so he's on now energy secretary chris wright how are you sir
01:08:20.580 hey i'm doing well glenn how are you great to be here i'm great i'm great um thank you so much for
01:08:26.160 coming on um i gotta i've got so many things i want to talk to you about and it's so little time
01:08:30.660 so um uh let me just start you know when i said on the air a couple of days ago
01:08:36.380 So Donald Trump is the fastest builder of anything.
01:08:39.800 I watched him build things in New York City that, I mean, I couldn't believe how fast he could get things done and quality.
01:08:46.980 We built the Empire State Building in, you know, in under a year, 11 months.
01:08:51.700 Is there a way and would it make a difference on price to build more oil refineries, especially for light, sweet crude?
01:08:59.600 And could we get it done and push it through quickly enough to make a difference?
01:09:05.280 Well, we do have a new light-sweet crude refinery planned to be built in South Texas.
01:09:11.780 It'll be the first new refinery built in the U.S. in over 50 years.
01:09:16.040 But it does take a few years to build.
01:09:18.820 So it won't impact gasoline or diesel prices in the near term.
01:09:22.900 But it's a hugely positive message to the market that a new refinery is coming,
01:09:28.300 tuned exactly for the kind of crude we're producing in South Texas
01:09:32.240 in the Permian Basin of West Texas.
01:09:33.920 it'll be a great new addition well here's what people don't understand and and i know you've
01:09:38.960 explained it before um but i'm just looking for solutions to this because people don't understand
01:09:44.300 we have all of this oil and it's light sweet crude most of the stuff is dirty that we you know
01:09:50.040 that we can't that our our refineries only report the heavy crude will process it um we're in a
01:09:57.340 situation where, you know, America may need fuel more than just for cheap purposes. With our
01:10:04.020 strategic oil reserve being as low as it is, are we doing absolutely everything we can to make sure
01:10:11.300 that America is not behind the eight ball in case we're at war? We are. And Glenn, relative to
01:10:18.160 everyone else, we're in the best shape of any country in the world. We are a meaningful net
01:10:23.420 exporter of oil, a meaningful net exporter of diesel and jet fuel. But we actually import
01:10:30.480 gasoline because the United States consumes a greater percent of our oil in the form of gasoline
01:10:37.160 than the rest of the world. So we do have trade with the world, but we are a meaningful net
01:10:42.640 exporter. Our refineries are running at record high output right now. Yeah, I'm frustrated as
01:10:48.780 is the president, the gasoline prices are higher than we'd like, but they're still a dollar a
01:10:53.780 gallon cheaper than they were four years ago during the Biden administration when there wasn't
01:10:59.620 an interruption of energy flows around the world. So it may not feel great, but we're doing well
01:11:06.800 given the circumstances. And I'm proud of our president standing up to Iran and ending just 1.00
01:11:12.660 an emerging threat to the world with Iran's race to nuclear weapons. 1.00
01:11:17.620 One last question on oil.
01:11:19.200 You told me back in May that our strategic oil reserve was damaged because of what Biden did.
01:11:26.600 We need to spend over $100 million to repair the damage.
01:11:30.200 And it's going to take us flat four, five, six years to fill the strategic oil reserve.
01:11:35.200 President has told me, I think it's 2032 by the time it gets completely full.
01:11:40.880 How bad is this?
01:11:43.340 I mean, you know, we're hearing things on munitions and we're hearing things on the strategic oil reserve.
01:11:48.460 And I don't know how much of it is an information war and how much is true.
01:11:53.160 How are we doing with our oil reserve?
01:11:57.320 So, you know, we're thank God we have it and we are releasing oil, which is helping our refiners meaningfully.
01:12:04.600 And so, you know, it's not it's not terrible. 0.54
01:12:07.980 The Biden administration was wildly irresponsible in selling 200 million barrels of oil for an election to lower gasoline prices and to fund their Green News scam programs.
01:12:19.900 So that was terrible.
01:12:21.240 So we came into this with much less oil in the SPR than we would have liked.
01:12:26.140 But as I think I told you before, you know, we're trading these barrels.
01:12:29.880 We're not selling them.
01:12:30.800 So we will end this conflict at the end of this administration.
01:12:34.760 We'll have an extra 40 million barrels in the SPR at no cost to American taxpayers.
01:12:41.160 And American oil production continues to grow.
01:12:44.100 Our natural gas production is growing.
01:12:46.320 So sure, I'd love to have, I'd love to have started with a full SPR.
01:12:50.780 I'd love to not be spending the money now to repair the damage from the Biden administration.
01:12:55.460 But this is America and this is the Trump administration.
01:12:57.880 We're fixing the SPR.
01:13:00.180 We're doing swaps that will start filling the reserve up at a meaningful pace.
01:13:04.320 next year. And we'll get through the energy part of this crisis, I think, reasonably well,
01:13:11.620 and we'll be stronger, more robust, and more focused on the other side.
01:13:16.700 So let me switch to something else my audience is so concerned about, and that is the price of
01:13:21.680 their electricity going up because of the data centers. And I've talked to people who are for
01:13:26.700 the data centers, and they said, you know, with water, you know, it's only about the amount of
01:13:32.460 water of a golf course, your local golf course that they're using. When it comes to energy,
01:13:38.220 I think it's something each town can bargain with to make sure that that data center is paying for
01:13:45.940 any of the upgrade in infrastructure or anything else. Can you tell me what the truth is on the
01:13:51.060 power situation with data centers? You bet. So look, on the power with data centers,
01:13:56.420 What we're seeing here is mostly a Democrat and a left-wing sales pitch.
01:14:02.240 Their green energy policies, these mandates they put at the state level, and when Biden
01:14:07.880 was president at the federal level, drove energy prices up a lot, and people are mad.
01:14:13.520 They don't want to own that problem, so they're pointing the finger at the obvious thing.
01:14:18.640 No, it wasn't us. 1.00
01:14:19.660 It wasn't our stupid policies. 1.00
01:14:21.740 It's data centers that are driving up electricity prices. 1.00
01:14:24.480 And honestly, Glenn, it's just false. The states that have had the fastest growth in demand for electricity, and a good chunk of that comes from data centers, they have the best performance on energy prices. All of them have energy prices that have risen less than the price of inflation, and some of them have had real declines, I mean nominal declines in the price of electricity.
01:14:47.180 So data centers are the best tool we have to help first stop the rise of electricity prices in your region and ultimately to drive them down. 0.96
01:14:58.000 You know, New York State, they drove electricity prices up with stupid policies.
01:15:02.180 And so now they've said we're not going to have any data centers. 0.96
01:15:04.540 That'll actually contribute to prices rising even faster in New York.
01:15:09.700 But no, look, data centers, this is America.
01:15:12.880 Not everybody has to have a data center in your neighborhood.
01:15:15.140 So I don't want to alarm people.
01:15:16.820 There's plenty of places to build data centers, but the communities that do negotiate deals, I believe, will get enormous benefits.
01:15:25.320 They'll stop the rise of energy prices.
01:15:27.360 They'll generate enormous tax revenues for their police, for their schools, for their parks.
01:15:33.020 Heck, we got an area in Georgia that just eliminated property taxes because the taxes from the data center will cover all of the residents' property taxes.
01:15:42.720 Wow.
01:15:42.820 There are huge, huge wins available here. My comment to communities a lot is you don't have to have a data center, but engage in the dialogue because if you push it away, those benefits are going to go to someone else and you're going to miss an opportunity.
01:15:58.260 I will tell you, I don't mind if towns don't want to have a data center.
01:16:02.500 That's their right.
01:16:03.780 It has to be open and transparent.
01:16:06.280 And there has to be somebody, like if I didn't want a data center,
01:16:09.480 I would be sending in the toughest negotiator that I could get.
01:16:12.720 And I'd ask for the moon and the stars.
01:16:15.080 You know what?
01:16:15.820 Then you're going to reduce our electricity costs per customer by 20%.
01:16:20.860 And here's how you're going to do it.
01:16:22.360 Or you're going to upgrade this.
01:16:23.640 Or you're going to pay for our police.
01:16:25.120 Whatever it is.
01:16:26.820 I want no more tax on, you know, on our housing or our property taxes.
01:16:32.980 Negotiate because sometimes you're going to get that.
01:16:37.300 And that's so much better than just saying, no, I don't want it.
01:16:40.600 Negotiate for things that you would go, you know what, it might be worth it if we got that.
01:16:44.900 They'll never give it to us.
01:16:46.120 Ask.
01:16:47.240 Ask.
01:16:47.780 They just might.
01:16:49.460 Glenn, you're so right.
01:16:50.540 This is an opportunity for a negotiation, not a threat.
01:16:54.120 It's an opportunity, not a threat.
01:16:55.440 Yes.
01:16:55.720 Yes. Can I ask you, are we doing anything on hydrogen? I live in a ranch up in the mountains. And I have spent seven figures on electricity. I need about 40 kilowatts to run this whole place with the broadcasts and everything else.
01:17:18.420 And I am constantly fighting for the energy.
01:17:23.960 This green thing is just not ready for prime time.
01:17:27.840 I don't have electric service up here, and I don't want it up here because then more people will move up here.
01:17:32.600 But, you know, I want to be green, and I want to be off the grid, but it's not ready.
01:17:40.140 Is there anything like hydrogen or anything on the horizon soon that will actually be stable for people?
01:17:47.580 You know, hydrogen is basically the left's attempt to have a better battery, a longer lived battery.
01:17:55.520 So, yes, you can store a lot of energy in hydrogen, but it's very expensive.
01:17:59.680 It's expensive to store hydrogen.
01:18:01.780 About half of the energy is lost in making hydrogen and then turning hydrogen back into electricity, at least half.
01:18:08.920 So what do we have that – do we have anything that's on the horizon that you guys are trying to push through?
01:18:17.580 that would would help people? Well, next generation geothermal is coming. We got a 500
01:18:25.300 megawatt plant under construction in Utah, mining the heat underneath your feet. President Trump
01:18:31.760 set aggressive agendas in May of last year to say we're going to get three next generation
01:18:37.360 nuclear reactors critical by July 4. We had four reactors critical by July 4 and another one coming
01:18:45.040 soon. So we've got a next generation. Wait, what does that mean? When you say nuclear reactors,
01:18:49.320 critical, that's probably the wrong words to you. What does that mean, that nuclear,
01:18:53.540 yeah, four of them, critical? Self-sustaining chain reaction. So running their full nuclear
01:18:58.740 systems. They don't have the other side where you take that heat and convert it into electricity yet,
01:19:03.760 but they have all the critical nuclear parts showing that these next generation reactors,
01:19:09.340 they're small, they're modular. As we build them in volume, the costs are going to come down.
01:19:14.320 This is extremely exciting. We'll be getting electricity in remote areas from nuclear reactors next by the end of next year and a meaningful amount of it by 2028.
01:19:25.560 We've got all sorts of gas turbines under construction. We've got new pipeline to bring low cost natural gas to communities.
01:19:33.640 If you had, you know, gas resip engines at a natural gas line, you could have an enormous amount of low cost electricity on demand whenever you wanted it.
01:19:42.660 No, I don't know the infrastructure where you are. If you don't have electric lines, I'm sure you don't have gas pipelines.
01:19:47.840 I don't have gas lines, but I tank it in. That's our that's our that's our back.
01:19:51.860 Right. You bring propane. Yeah, yeah. You're you're you're I'm sure. Yeah, yeah. Propane. Yeah.
01:19:56.860 So there is cool stuff coming in energy technology. But the stuff that was, you know, politically favored, you know, hydrogen.
01:20:05.240 Again, I'm like I'm a tech nerd. So if the math works, I'm all for it. But the math on hydrogen looks pretty bad.
01:20:11.460 I don't see that good.
01:20:14.160 Are we taking the restrictions off?
01:20:16.540 I heard that we're taking restrictions off of fuel standards for cars.
01:20:20.980 Is that true?
01:20:22.360 Yeah.
01:20:22.940 Shouldn't we let consumers buy?
01:20:26.100 That's EPA, but there's a lot of regulations like that at DOE as well.
01:20:31.000 We just want consumers to choose.
01:20:32.880 If you want to buy an expensive device that consumes less energy, God bless you.
01:20:38.080 Go for it.
01:20:38.640 But if you can't afford to buy a super fancy next generation hot water heater or dryer, you shouldn't be forced to buy a super expensive one.
01:20:47.460 We're going to let people choose.
01:20:48.980 This is America.
01:20:51.180 How much damage have you, and I say this in a good way, how much damage have you done to the big state that cannot be reversed quickly?
01:21:00.960 I hope by the time we're gone a lot.
01:21:04.500 You know, we're doing a thing called a process rule that's basically saying you can't just make up regulations and impose them on people without proving that you're not harming individuals and you're delivering net benefits.
01:21:18.220 And most of the regulations that are passed will not pass that test.
01:21:22.660 The endangerment finding that EPA has challenged, that has been the justification for all the deep state rules that just get into everyone's lives.
01:21:33.040 We think that rule will withstand legal scrutiny, and it'll be very hard to bring that back.
01:21:39.360 So we are working every day to just shrink this incredible overreaching power of our government that just impoverishes Americans and squelches opportunity.
01:21:49.380 That's not President Trump's agenda.
01:21:52.400 It's great to have you on, Chris.
01:21:53.720 Thank you so much.
01:21:54.740 God bless.
01:21:55.240 Keep up the good work in Washington.
01:21:57.020 You bet.
01:21:57.200 Great job.
01:21:57.940 Appreciate you.
01:21:59.420 You bet.
01:21:59.900 Thank you.
01:22:00.720 These are Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
01:22:05.080 Okay, let me tell you about our sponsor, Supersure.
01:22:09.500 Paid for by Supersure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
01:22:13.900 You know, when things work, they work and you don't even notice them.
01:22:17.480 When they're not working and they fail, you realize, oh, crap, that's really kind of an important thing.
01:22:23.460 Business insurance is really like that.
01:22:26.120 You hope you never have to think about it, but if something goes wrong, you'll find out pretty quickly whether you bought a policy or whether you bought something else that doesn't help you at all.
01:22:36.940 That's why I like SuperSure.
01:22:39.260 SuperSure, they don't just hand you a stack of paperwork and wish you luck.
01:22:42.660 They make sure that you have the coverage that your business actually needs, and they give you a single point of contact who knows who you are when you call.

01:23:21.380 Okay, yesterday was kind of frustrating
01:23:50.400 with Fauci. If you were frustrated by what happened, I give you the solution in our number
01:23:55.820 one of today's podcast. Make sure you go back and listen if you missed it, because I think
01:24:01.360 you should be pressuring Congress for, well, I want you to listen to it in whole. I could give
01:24:07.640 it to you, but it might make you, without understanding, it might make you go, wait a
01:24:11.100 minute, what? We have to change tactics. So I want you to listen to that. Also, RFK Jr. is joining
01:24:18.060 I mean, he's the guy who found the diary.
01:24:21.360 How did you find that?
01:24:22.620 What else did you find?
01:24:24.340 Why would Fauci put that on government servers?
01:24:27.660 We talk to RFK Jr. next.
01:24:30.520 keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can
01:24:57.620 you know put you or them in danger it means being prepared for all the situations you know even
01:25:03.020 those situations where deadly force is not needed in fact it's a real problem there are more of those
01:25:08.220 than you think and if you're a gun owner it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide
01:25:12.380 you all the safety it needs but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody and
01:25:16.140 i'm i'm not in all situations you know but they can go bad fast there is a tool for this it's the

01:26:45.340 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad that you're here. Thank
01:26:53.420 you so much for listening. Yesterday was very frustrating when you're watching the Fauci thing
01:26:57.200 because we know what the truth is now. We have the documents and you have the media that is
01:27:01.940 clearly, clearly was part of the problem that are not going to, I mean, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN,
01:27:11.320 and MS Now, all of them, none of them reported on the diary.
01:27:17.160 And, you know, it's, well, that was his private diary.
01:27:19.400 It's not like, it's not like it was a little, you know,
01:27:22.280 Hello Kitty diary where he had, you know, a little key that he opened it up.
01:27:26.620 You know, when he was talking about Julia Roberts,
01:27:28.520 he didn't put a little heart over the eye, although I wouldn't doubt it.
01:27:32.580 It was on government servers.
01:27:34.600 He wrote this on government.
01:27:35.700 This was not private.
01:27:36.680 he wrote this on governor and he did it with the help of aids now the person who found it is rfk

01:29:02.520 Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary Kennedy, I have to tell you, you and I have disagreed on so many things over the years, and I have learned so much from you and have softened so many of my views.
01:29:15.440 I think you are doing an amazing job, and for things that I just didn't even listen to you on, on health and everything else, you have opened my eyes to what has been happening to our food, and I thank you.
01:29:30.380 I think you have made a tremendous difference, so thank you, sir.
01:29:35.100 Well, I'm very grateful to you, and I also want to thank you for that last interview that we did together
01:29:41.600 where you were all doped up on having just returned from dental surgery,
01:29:46.960 and it was one of the best interviews I've ever done, so I remain deeply appreciated, Kyle.
01:29:54.600 Thank you.
01:29:55.320 Well, I tried not to be doped up, but maybe it would make for a better show.
01:29:59.140 A lot of people would claim yes. So, Secretary Kennedy, you found these diaries and everybody is saying these are private diaries. Could you please lay this to rest? These are not private. They were. I don't know why he put them on, but they were put on government servers.
01:30:17.460 yeah well you know every american knows this who has a job if you if you go into your office
01:30:27.700 and you're and the company that you work for you work for gives you a laptop and you do work on
01:30:35.000 that laptop it belongs to the company and that is true that is federal law if you do something
01:30:41.880 on a government server. It belongs to the government. So he was keeping a diary for
01:30:49.180 the book that he intended to write about his life. And at the end of his term, just before
01:30:57.020 he was leaving, he emailed the entire diary to himself. So for years and years of keeping
01:31:06.220 his daily journal he emailed it to himself that he so that he could write his book and that's how
01:31:12.920 we found it through those emails but he he knows that i mean it's not a diary it's not a diary in
01:31:20.520 the sense like you said that a teenage girl keeps a diary that's private and has you know a lock on
01:31:27.680 It's a government computer, a government laptop on government time, keeping his account of what his official duties are and then making private observations about them.
01:31:42.740 You know, this liberal media is now feigning indignation that we released private diaries and violated his privacy.
01:31:52.760 But that's just it's a crazy assertion. And, you know, what they're really doing is covering up this, like you pointed out, this vast media malpractice that took place during COVID.
01:32:05.060 when they elevated this guy to a deified status
01:32:09.940 who had funded the weaponization of coronavirus, 0.86
01:32:15.660 who then had given it to a Chinese military-run lab,
01:32:22.060 the two scientists there, Xi Jinping and Ben Hu,
01:32:25.080 who further weaponized it using NIH technology
01:32:30.920 that they got from another NIH grantee, Ralph Barrick,
01:32:37.200 at the University of North Carolina.
01:32:39.380 And they created SARS-CoV-2.
01:32:43.260 And Ben Hu, who was seen as a second scientist on it, is patient zero.
01:32:50.740 So he was the first person to get sick from COVID-19.
01:32:53.960 And then, you know, if you look at the subway line that goes from the Wuhan lab, all the original cases were on that subway line.
01:33:06.460 These scientists were infected.
01:33:08.360 They were getting on the subway.
01:33:09.960 People were getting infected, you know, at each stop along the way.
01:33:14.740 And that subway led right from the Wuhan lab to the airport.
01:33:19.740 So people then spread it internationally.
01:33:22.340 and you know and instead of exercising skepticism the the american media elevated this guy
01:33:32.740 silenced his opponents silenced his critics silenced anyone who questions his authority
01:33:38.840 told us all we had to trust the expert when the expert was lying to us and and then punishing us
01:33:46.220 marginalizing and vilifying and demonizing anybody who questioned him and it was really
01:33:54.400 an extraordinary situation and he was lying about everything he was lying about masks
01:34:00.320 he was lying about social distancing he was lying about natural immunity he was lying about the
01:34:08.240 ability of the vaccine to prevent transmission he took the vaccine himself and he immediately got
01:34:13.980 COVID. And then, and he lied about the safety. We now know the one thing that I learned from
01:34:20.480 his diary, because most of this stuff I already know. The one thing I learned is that he had a
01:34:28.380 pulmonary infarction after getting the Moderna vaccine. So Glenn, he took the Moderna vaccine
01:34:35.840 at a very highly publicized press conference in which he was demonstrating his confidence in the
01:34:43.260 safety of the product by taking the shot publicly in front of the whole world, then he gets
01:34:50.620 pulmonary infarction, which is NIH and CDC and FDA had done a joint document in which they looked
01:34:59.160 at the expected side effects of the vaccine's adverse events. And pulmonary infarction is one
01:35:06.660 of the top expected injuries so he got that he got a life-threatening pulmonary infarction which
01:35:14.380 is a which was a blood clot that went out and um and obstructed his lung and he was
01:35:22.560 he was getting you know because he was he was you know in his late in his late 70s you know
01:35:30.600 that could happen is so it's not we're not sure that that's what caused it but it is likely that
01:35:36.640 That's what caused it. But the problem to me is he had the best medical care and then never, ever revealed it.
01:35:43.660 He should have said there's a possibility that this happened to me.
01:35:49.560 There is a possibility that this happened. Instead, he goes out.
01:35:52.920 He never says this out loud. It's never reported.
01:35:56.900 And then he says it's perfectly safe. He doesn't know that. We don't know that.
01:36:01.800 Yeah, I mean, that's true with every vaccine entry. You can never prove causation. But the whole, you know, the whole purpose is the whole system is based upon people being honest about reporting all of the injuries that happen after vaccine, after vaccine.
01:36:23.720 And then, you know, you do a cluster analysis and you say, hey, we're seeing elevated levels of this, that and the other.
01:36:31.380 If you don't report it, nobody can make those kind of analysis.
01:36:35.760 And he did not report his.
01:36:37.420 He didn't report it to the VAERS system.
01:36:39.980 He didn't tell the public.
01:36:42.720 And, you know, if so, anyway, that was that.
01:36:45.780 He's a guy who claims to be science itself but is rejecting the scientific method on being able to find out if something is safe or not.
01:36:55.980 So yesterday he's testifying, and he says nothing, and I kind of expected that.
01:37:00.140 Unfortunately, as soon as it began, I was like, uh-uh, he's not going to – they're going to make this against Rand Paul.
01:37:08.140 They're going to just say Rand Paul has a vendetta, blah, blah, blah.
01:37:11.460 I said today that if you give him a congressional grant of immunity and say, look, we just want the answers, he must answer.
01:37:21.680 At this point, I am less interested.
01:37:24.040 I mean, don't get me wrong.
01:37:24.920 I want to see that guy in a perp walk so badly. 0.93
01:37:27.840 I think he is one of the most evil guys. 0.94
01:37:31.000 I believe he knew what he was doing. 0.92
01:37:33.320 He's responsible for millions of people's deaths.
01:37:36.380 He locked people out of seeing their parents and their grandparents as they were dying.
01:37:40.900 He changed the world. And it's all because of his arrogance. But at this point, we're not going to see him go to jail. I just don't think that's going to happen. If we give him congressional immunity, then he must or go to jail. He must answer the questions.
01:37:58.240 I just want I want this to be finally settled and settled in, you know, court or in Congress where everyone, including the press, can stop telling us that none of these facts are true because it's all true.
01:38:12.740 yeah and one thing i would add is that what he did you know the democrats keep saying he saved
01:38:22.060 a million lives we had the highest death count per capita of any nation in the world
01:38:28.860 we had 3 000 deaths per million population the african continent had one tenth at about 320
01:38:38.040 20 per million population.
01:38:40.880 There were nations like Haiti and Nigeria
01:38:44.440 that had 14 people per million population,
01:38:49.020 basically zero vaccine, 1% vaccination,
01:38:53.000 14 deaths per million population,
01:38:55.460 that's one 200th of us.
01:38:58.040 We had the highest death rate of any country in the world.
01:39:00.760 Whatever we were doing was the worst performance
01:39:05.000 of any country.
01:39:06.060 So saying, you know, the claim that we that he saved a million lives is is not really supported by by facts.
01:39:20.380 So he is responsible as well for the largest loss of trust with our doctors, our medical system, our quote unquote experts.
01:39:31.920 I mean, you know, we know that a pandemic is going to happen again at some point, but I got to tell you, we will lose a lot of lives because people will not trust anyone.
01:39:43.800 How do we, what has to happen next to him?
01:39:47.000 What do you, what do you, what do you recommend?
01:39:50.220 What do you think is coming?
01:39:51.580 What, what has to happen so we can put this behind us and restore the trust?
01:39:55.900 well we're doing that at nih right now and across the agency you know yesterday we announced that
01:40:04.620 um an end to all dangerous gain-of-function science so the science and the studies the
01:40:11.940 nih funded studies that gave us the covet 19 pandemic will never happen again 0.57
01:40:17.260 and the new policy has incentives and punishments for scientists and universities
01:40:24.540 that participate in any kind of dangerous gain-of-function study.
01:40:31.060 So we're ending that, but also we have new protocols for pandemic response,
01:40:39.380 and they recognize constitutional rights.
01:40:44.700 You know, the Constitution was built for hard times, not for easy times.
01:40:52.400 You can't just waive it like we did.
01:40:54.540 In fact, in 1780, between the end of the revolution and the ratification of the Bill of Rights, we had multiple pandemics in our country, smallpox, yellow fever, typhus, typhoid.
01:41:10.020 They killed tens of thousands of people, and the framers were well aware of that, but they did not put a pandemic exemption in the United States Constitution.
01:41:21.580 And unfortunately, you know, under Dr. Fauci's leadership and with the pitchforks and torches, you know, of the American media, we dismantled the Constitution.
01:41:37.420 We got rid of the First Amendment freedom of speech.
01:41:40.480 We were censoring people.
01:41:42.000 I mean, I got censored.
01:41:43.700 I was accused of misinformation because I said this probably came from the lab in Wuhan.
01:41:50.460 And Fauci was saying that privately in his diary in January of 20.
01:41:57.780 So even before I said that, he said he was saying it could not have come from the wet
01:42:03.360 market.
01:42:04.360 And then for two years, he tried to tell us it came from the wet market.
01:42:08.220 So I never put any misinformation on my Instagram account, but it was shut down.
01:42:15.160 All of my social media was shut down.
01:42:18.520 When this happened, as you know, doctors were de-licensed, people were harassed and silenced.
01:42:26.360 The social distancing regulation got rid of our right to assemble.
01:42:31.280 We had three and a half million businesses shut down without due process, without just
01:42:36.400 compensation.
01:42:38.480 Jury trials were shut down for anybody, no matter how negligent they were, who supplied
01:42:43.020 a countermeasure.
01:42:45.140 the, you know, our fourth amendment protections against unwarranted searches and seizures were
01:42:51.500 abandoned with all this track and trace that you have to show your medical records before you leave
01:42:56.340 your home or travel or whatever. The whole constitution was, was dismantled and that can
01:43:04.080 never happen again. And the, you know, pandemic responses that we're working out are pandemic
01:43:11.320 responses that are more traditional they use racial methods and they use ai and we use um
01:43:21.640 all of the well-established methods that do not interfere with our constitutional rights
01:43:29.000 robin f kennedy jr thank you sir thanks for spending the time with me i appreciate it
01:43:33.480 our health and human services secretary you bet thank you um
01:43:41.320 I wish we had actually,
01:43:44.020 I wish we had more people that were doing the kinds of things in,
01:43:46.940 and I shouldn't say that because we just had,
01:43:48.900 we just had Chris on from the department of energy.
01:43:53.800 And he was remarkable too,
01:43:56.320 on the things that they were actually doing.
01:43:57.740 Chris Wright is doing a fabulous job,
01:43:59.820 but it's good to see that,
01:44:02.080 you know,
01:44:02.220 when we get down on things,
01:44:03.840 you know,
01:44:04.280 we were just talking yesterday about,
01:44:06.180 you know,
01:44:06.380 the next pandemic,
01:44:07.060 what has to happen,
01:44:08.280 at least,
01:44:08.960 at least in his department,
01:44:10.620 And he has put penalties for anybody who is doing that.
01:44:15.260 Hopefully, it will be enforced one of these days.
01:44:18.340 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.
01:44:19.700 It's Patriot Mobile.
01:44:20.540 Every day, you make hundreds of decisions without even thinking about them.
01:44:23.820 You choose what to eat, which road to take, who you're going to listen to, and what you support.
01:44:28.300 Most decisions feel small by themselves.
01:44:30.340 But when you stack them up over a lifetime, they start to define the kind of person that you are.
01:44:34.940 That's why you should pay attention to the companies that you do business with.
01:44:37.660 Some of them are actually using your money to fund causes that you would never, ever support.
01:44:42.080 Patriot Mobile is different.
01:44:43.620 America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
01:44:46.180 They believe in faith and family and the freedom that, you know, put us where we are.
01:44:49.940 And they put their money and their time where their values are by supporting organizations that defend those principles.
01:44:56.480 The best part is you don't have to sacrifice a great service to make the switch.
01:44:59.960 You can keep your phone, keep your number, and get all the coverage that you already have, no matter which of the big three carriers you're on.
01:45:06.680 Make your phone plan, you know, back up the values you believe in.

01:45:24.480 you know with the fauci in front of congress yesterday um it brought a lot of bad things
01:45:41.420 back to mind about what it was like you know in 2021 it was not good how did we get to this
01:45:48.380 point in America where we are just surrendering to experts. Fauci had such an outsized influence
01:45:56.940 and power. How did we get here? I answer that question in the seven-episode podcast series
01:46:05.580 called Control Freaks in History, and it's American history. Currently available for Torch
01:46:11.260 subscribers, it is about how a cult of expertise developed by progressives and how this obsession
01:46:18.060 continues to drive the left's quest for control, it is such an important thing. You want to
01:46:23.420 understand today's world. You want to understand what we're really fighting. Just grab this podcast
01:46:29.520 and listen to the seven episodes in this. And it is so eye-opening. And it takes you back all the
01:46:39.780 way from the beginning of the progressive era and shows you how they intentionally manipulated
01:46:45.500 people to get them to say nope this is the expert in this field this is the expert in it and how
01:46:51.800 many times they were wrong and the damage that they did it's it's a fascinating i learned so
01:46:57.280 much you know i have a great writer and nathan nipper he's a history guy and uh uh and a teacher
01:47:04.700 and uh and he's just wrote this and really did great history on it control freaks in history
01:47:10.440 You will learn so much and you will understand the world that we are fighting now.

01:47:17.220 Get it now.
01:47:28.880 All right, let me tell you about rapid radios.
01:47:31.160 If you ever watch people try to solve a problem, you know, without being able to communicate, you know how quickly things fall apart.
01:47:36.980 Somebody thinks everybody's going left.
01:47:38.920 Somebody else is already heading right.
01:47:40.820 Half the group is working from yesterday's plan.
01:47:42.840 The other half never heard of the plan in the first place.
01:47:45.280 It's true whether you're running an event, managing a job, you're hunting, you're camping, you're traveling with your family,
01:47:52.440 you're just trying to keep a group on the same page.
01:47:55.320 That's why Rapid Radios is so good.
01:47:58.020 You turn them on, you hand them out, and you're talking.
01:48:00.920 We just took them on when we were in Washington on vacation for a few days.
01:48:04.880 because inevitably everybody would get separated.
01:48:08.140 We go, where are you?
01:48:09.220 We're here.
01:48:09.900 Just look for the, you know, whatever.

01:49:20.740 for more than 10 years now i hardly ever miss a show live or podcast naturally i wanted to join
01:49:26.780 the torch when you launched it a couple of months ago however i'm on a budget and i just couldn't
01:49:30.320 talk myself into spending the money anyway when young washington premiered and you discussed how
01:49:34.820 much you loved it i had to go even though i haven't been to a hollywood movie in forever
01:49:38.400 the next day i subscribed to the torch just for the american history the american story
01:49:43.800 it is amazing i am a huge massive fan but i only wish history in school was taught like this kids
01:49:51.920 would have become patriots when they were in the fourth grade instead of being confused about who
01:49:55.540 we are as americans keep up the good work uh tim thank you so much and i'm glad you joined in and
01:50:01.260 And we will try to make it worth every hard-earned penny
01:50:04.940 to make sure that you and everybody who joins the torch are happy
01:50:09.940 and feel it's well worth the money spent.
01:50:13.060 Tomorrow, I am going to ask you to call in
01:50:16.660 if you have talked to your kids about socialism.
01:50:18.980 I put up at glennbeck.com a list of kind of Socratic questions,
01:50:24.000 just questions.
01:50:24.520 Do not argue with your kids.
01:50:26.260 You are not there to change their mind on this.
01:50:28.800 You are there just to listen to.
01:50:30.040 I just want you to listen and gather.
01:50:31.600 Cindy called in earlier today, and she said that she had her 14-year-old son.
01:50:36.440 They don't agree on things.
01:50:38.220 She said it always ends the same way, rolling of the eyes, walking out.
01:50:42.040 I don't want to talk about it.
01:50:43.160 She said we haven't had a real conversation in a long time.
01:50:45.680 14-year-old boy, what a surprise.
01:50:48.280 Anyway, she said I took your notes, and I did what you said,
01:50:55.180 and we had a conversation.
01:50:55.920 She said it lasted two hours.
01:50:57.900 she said and he wants to talk some more try this even if your kids don't support socialism
01:51:05.600 they need to understand what it is they need to think about it so they can defend the free market
01:51:11.400 with their friends because i can guarantee you they're going to run they have socialist friends
01:51:14.940 um so go over it and then i want to hear from you on tomorrow's program uh there's a couple
01:51:21.260 of other things where do we stand with um hey do we have the ball is wonder what is that song again
01:51:26.680 for John Thune, the...
01:51:28.440 Thune the Ballist Rhino?
01:51:29.200 Yeah, Thune the Ballist Rhino.
01:51:30.700 Do we have the theme for that, BJ? 0.98
01:51:32.780 Thune the Ballist Rhino ain't got balls, yeah. 0.96
01:51:37.460 Yeah, yeah. 0.97
01:51:38.960 So Thune the Ballist Rhino, still, what is happening?
01:51:42.140 What is the latest on the Save America Act? 0.55
01:51:46.660 Could we just have dead air here for another 15 minutes?
01:51:49.460 Yeah, nothing, nothing.
01:51:52.300 I feel like, Glenn, yesterday the president said,
01:51:55.640 I think it was from the Oval Office, where he said that, you know, it's too bad that Thune thinks the way he thinks.
01:52:01.000 I'm not quoting him directly, but President Trump said that he's got the votes.
01:52:05.220 He just needs to go out and pass the Save America Act.
01:52:08.020 But if you hear from any of the senators that are involved in this, it kind of sounds like they're just more worried about they have a vacation coming up in a week than doing anything else.
01:52:19.360 Yes, that was Mike Lee's point.
01:52:21.880 Make them stay there.
01:52:23.980 They will cave if you make them stay there.
01:52:28.060 Say, we're going to do 12 o'clock votes.
01:52:30.400 Sorry, it's going to be at midnight, but we're doing it.
01:52:33.040 You're against it.
01:52:34.560 It's happening at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning.
01:52:36.440 We're staying in session.
01:52:37.920 Keep them there.
01:52:38.660 That's the way it has historically always been.
01:52:42.180 But Thune, what is it again?
01:52:45.340 Thune the ballless rhino. 0.99
01:52:47.020 Ain't got balls at all. 1.00
01:52:50.120 Thune the ballless rhino. 0.99
01:52:51.400 Anyway, that guy, he wants them to go home.
01:52:56.800 He's like, how dare they want us to stay here.
01:52:59.320 That's unreasonable.
01:53:00.800 Unreasonable?
01:53:01.420 Do you know how hard the average American works at their job?
01:53:05.200 And we work more than three days a week.
01:53:07.060 I just want to point that out.
01:53:08.420 Thune.
01:53:10.180 He's been given from the House multiple different ways.
01:53:13.060 I've actually lost count.
01:53:14.280 I'm running out of fingers on my hands.
01:53:15.640 How many ways they can get this done?
01:53:17.760 Thune was actually asked about one of those budget reconciliation.
01:53:21.900 And I'm just going to read through this.
01:53:23.060 And then the final paragraph, tell me what he's more concerned about.
01:53:26.960 He goes, if budget reconciliation is a path forward, if we conclude that there is actually
01:53:30.720 a chance to get an outcome or a result, I'm open to do it.
01:53:34.000 And I think all of our colleagues would be open to staying around here if that were true.
01:53:39.500 But I think that we have to see, first of all, that we can prove to be the case.
01:53:42.780 Here's the final paragraph.
01:53:43.780 But I don't think having a Congress sitting around here for the month of August in quorum
01:53:48.720 calls or having to vote on democrat amendments is probably a good use of anybody's time yeah
01:53:53.460 yeah it's not and everyone would know it and so they would do something like this has got to end
01:53:59.340 this has got to end he doesn't want to be on he gets the sackless award
01:54:04.300 i'm you know i i'm having it do we have a we have an image of it yet we have a we have um
01:54:12.180 There it is.
01:54:13.040 There it is.
01:54:13.840 The Nobel Prize right there, awarded for sacklessness.
01:54:19.240 And it's got Thune right in the center.
01:54:21.400 He's got the pride right there.
01:54:24.660 I am making one.
01:54:25.920 I'm making one that's going to be about, I don't know, what would you say that is?
01:54:29.100 About four inches around?
01:54:30.380 Yeah.
01:54:30.640 Okay, I'm making it just like the Nobel Prize.
01:54:32.900 It's the Nobel Prize.
01:54:34.280 And I'm giving it to him.
01:54:36.300 I want to present it to him.
01:54:37.700 An insider said, Glenn, you should give it to the president.
01:54:40.880 The president should give it to him.
01:54:42.180 I, I, you know what? There's a chance he might do that. Here's a chance he might do that. I'm going to, I'm going to tweet that out today with a picture of Mr. President, you want to award it to him? Go ahead. You want to award it? Cause it'd be great.
01:54:52.880 This is kind of, I don't know if you saw this, this came out, I think it was yesterday, but the Senate is so worried about how, I'll put it in my words, how stupid they now look and how unwilling to do anything that they have started to circulate a document that shows how to, here's some talking points when people bring up the fact that, hey, what about the filibuster?
01:55:16.080 why are you doing nothing on the Save America Act?
01:55:20.140 They had to put out a list of how to respond
01:55:23.260 to some of these accusations.
01:55:26.100 And it's kind of funny if you read through it.
01:55:27.940 Daily Caller put this out.
01:55:29.040 They're the ones that got it.
01:55:30.080 It almost reads like a choose your own adventure.
01:55:32.260 If they say this, why aren't you doing this?
01:55:34.660 Then you respond with this. 0.99
01:55:36.660 It is so ridiculous. 0.99
01:55:38.120 It is so crazy. 0.99
01:55:38.660 Do you have it in front of you?
01:55:39.780 Yeah, I got it.
01:55:40.200 Read some of it because it's insulting.
01:55:42.700 It's absolutely insulting.
01:55:44.680 so it's funny it has it first starts off with the charge or the claim and then how they need
01:55:50.180 to respond so the first one white house press this is the charge white house press secretary
01:55:54.260 carolyn levitt said president trump's patience is running out with john thune is senator thune
01:55:58.780 doing a good job as majority leader here's your response president trump and senator thune are
01:56:05.360 united and doing an excellent job delivering safety and prosperity for americans despite
01:56:10.860 unprecedented democrat obstruction their leadership their whole thing is that the democrats
01:56:16.660 have obstructed this the democrats were never going to vote for it they were never going to
01:56:22.480 vote for it never now you have to ask yourself why ballless rhino you have to ask yourself why
01:56:30.200 why would the democrats not want that for all of the reasons we all know they're cooking the books
01:56:38.360 this is just a way to not cook the book i can't i can't take it everybody gets onto a plane and
01:56:44.660 they need id and somehow or another it's racist everyone knows it's not racist that's why this
01:56:51.160 has 80 approval rating and you can't get the job done my gosh you need to fire him
01:56:58.040 he needs to be voted out but he also needs the no ball prize he needs to be i think
01:57:07.720 the best way to handle somebody like this
01:57:10.700 in the end is just to show
01:57:12.680 everybody who he really
01:57:14.640 is who he really is
01:57:16.540 he is sackless
01:57:18.380 and it is it's really 0.95
01:57:20.280 it's disgusting
01:57:22.200 at this time this is
01:57:24.420 I mean the Fauci thing
01:57:26.560 is bad this is
01:57:28.160 80% approval
01:57:29.940 and you can't get it
01:57:32.600 done
01:57:32.900 so charge number two
01:57:36.060 also really irritates me so this is the charge is should we eliminate the filibuster to pass
01:57:43.140 save america which i think right off the bat it's it's that's a red herring a red herring
01:57:48.860 so their response is uh blah blah blah blah we cannot you know win a battle and lose the war
01:57:55.180 is that is that just being dishonest right off the top because they don't even discuss the zombie
01:57:59.980 filibuster part of it you don't that you're not eliminating you're eliminating the zombie
01:58:04.640 filibuster, which was something invented by the Democrats in the 1970s, because the administrative
01:58:10.420 state got so big that they couldn't handle everything. And so they couldn't handle a,
01:58:15.900 you know, a filibuster the way they always did. So to just kill bills, they just had to phone it
01:58:21.800 in and say, hey, you know what? I want to filibuster this. Done. Done. And everybody goes on. Next
01:58:26.560 thing. No. Make somebody, if you want to, this is the whole point. Try to make the case to the 0.76
01:58:37.080 American people that agree 80% that asking for identification is unreasonable. You will not win
01:58:48.140 that argument. No matter how much press you have on your side, you will not win that argument
01:58:54.380 because everyone has ID.
01:58:56.920 You want a bank account?
01:58:58.500 You have to have ID.
01:59:00.540 It's required.
01:59:01.340 You want to fly?
01:59:02.140 You want to rent a car?
01:59:03.200 You want to buy certain cough syrup?
01:59:05.520 You've got to have ID.
01:59:07.840 And everybody knows that.
01:59:09.080 And so what the filibuster is supposed to do
01:59:11.640 is give the American people a chance to catch up
01:59:15.320 and go, wait a minute, what are they talking about?
01:59:18.920 That's what it's for.
01:59:20.400 It's not to shut everything down.
01:59:22.260 is to give people the chance to catch up with the news
01:59:25.840 and go, wait, what are they talking about?
01:59:27.920 So they can't just jam it through or can't just stop it.
01:59:31.660 And by the way, majority rule in Congress and in the Senate
01:59:36.120 is how this whole thing, read the words of George Washington
01:59:39.100 and Jefferson and Madison.
01:59:41.380 They all say majority must rule.
01:59:45.240 To have the minority rule is insanity.
01:59:48.600 we don't everybody that they all worked out how everybody is represented so every state is equal
01:59:57.200 you don't have majority rule um in uh in you know the general elections because it wouldn't be fair
02:00:05.360 to the small states so they balance that out by having the number of representatives and everybody
02:00:10.400 gets two senators now it's majority rule it's insanity insanity uh representative anna polina
02:00:19.880 luna addressed this directly and uh she said quote word around the capital is that thune has
02:00:25.400 no plan on bringing save america to the floor because he's trying to protect his fellow senators
02:00:31.840 from a quote tough vote before the midterms he's hiding behind the filibuster it's not a tough vote
02:00:39.220 80% of your voters want it.
02:00:43.140 It's what's causing you to have people question who you are.

02:04:29.880 What news do you have on it?
02:04:32.180 Well, OK, so Tom Tillis and Cornyn, they're the lame duck Republicans who are part of
02:04:37.400 the reason why we can't get to 50 votes.
02:04:39.720 They hate Trump and they're just going to give the middle finger on their way out the
02:04:44.040 door.
02:04:44.560 So I have a sincere question. 1.00
02:04:46.600 How do we get to 50 votes with those little jerks? 1.00
02:04:49.320 That's my first question. 0.99
02:04:51.360 you got an answer no okay just wanted don't do it like this rain cloud here's my second question
02:04:59.740 we keep talking about 80 percent of america wants uh us to pass the save act 80 percent of america
02:05:06.040 actually wants a government issued photo id the save act actually requires proof of citizenship
02:05:11.580 so a birth certificate or a passport can we call the democrats bluff and and settle or compromise
02:05:19.620 for the government-issued photo ID
02:05:21.780 instead of that higher threshold of citizenship.
02:05:24.840 That is something that,
02:05:27.140 no, I don't want a government ID.
02:05:28.720 The last thing I want is government-issuing ID.
02:05:31.440 No, but that is something that,
02:05:33.020 you know, they have all kinds of problems.
02:05:34.740 Everybody would say,
02:05:35.980 oh, okay, birth certificate.
02:05:37.360 You have to produce your birth certificate
02:05:39.440 to get a passport, to get a lot of things.
02:05:42.640 So what is the problem with that?
02:05:44.520 You want to vote?
02:05:46.680 Then get a birth certificate.
02:05:47.940 Get your birth certificate.

02:06:06.120 You can get a birth certificate.
02:06:08.340 And if not, you know, well, then we should have a talk about why you can't get that birth certificate.
