Jace Medical, I've been talking about the Jace case for some time now.
00:00:37.660
I will tell you that we are gathering evidence that we are closer and closer every day of a meltdown.
00:00:47.720
Whether that be war overseas, some sort of terrorist attack here, just the loss of freedom and rights, we're going to have shortages.
00:00:58.420
And I urge you to have your medical situation tied up.
00:01:04.580
At least have the Jace case, which is five essential antibiotics.
00:01:09.420
Have them on hand in case you can't get them at the drugstore.
00:01:14.040
I mean, you wait on just simple antibiotics and you don't have access to them.
00:01:25.320
You can also get all of your other life-saving medications that your family may be taking out.
00:01:35.140
Enter the promo code Beck at checkout for a discount on your order.
00:01:37.760
But check out the Jace case and then the year's supply worth of medicine that you can have in your home.
00:02:35.880
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:50.880
We have a lot to talk about on the future, but there is a passing of two people that connect
00:02:57.280
us directly to the past and an important part of our past.
00:03:03.820
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:03:11.800
When it comes time to sell your home, are you ready for it?
00:03:20.860
Like, how do you even find a real estate agent?
00:03:25.380
I'm talking about somebody who can navigate the whole process from beginning to end to
00:03:28.880
make sure you're on track to sell at the highest level you can, and then get the right home
00:03:34.400
wherever you're going, whether it's across the street or across the country.
00:03:37.580
realestateagentsitrust.com is a place you can go, and we will help you find the right real estate agent.
00:03:44.860
You need somebody on the end of buying and selling, somebody who can make sure you're not missing out
00:03:49.900
on the home of your dreams, and someone who will be right there with you at the negotiating table.
00:03:54.960
Make sure you end up where you want and need to be.
00:04:04.980
I mean, it takes weeks, literally weeks, to vet these guys.
00:04:08.300
They don't work for me, but we vet them, and we constantly monitor their progress and what people are reporting.
00:04:17.520
They are the best of the best in your area, at least what we feel, and we'd like to pass their names on to you.
00:04:40.440
We were both working at WFLA in Tampa, Florida.
00:04:48.720
I had just signed a deal to replace Dr. Laura on the premier radio network, and it was supposed to start in January, and we were really doing a comedy show.
00:05:03.240
We were making fun of everything, and I was pretty much a boob at the time.
00:05:09.420
I didn't know where I stood on many things because I was just doing comedy.
00:05:20.960
And then my wife called me from work, and she said, turn on the TV.
00:05:34.440
And Katie Corrick was on, and it was the Today Show, and they were talking about how it must be a small plane.
00:05:41.900
And I looked at that hole in that plane, and I thought, that's not a small plane.
00:05:46.440
And I'm talking to my wife, and the hole waiting goes off, and Stu is on the other end.
00:05:53.860
I said, yeah, I don't think this is a small plane.
00:06:03.900
I said, honey, it's probably going to be a very long day.
00:06:09.660
As we were driving in, the World Trade Center collapsed.
00:06:16.440
When I got to the studio, I looked up at the monitors, and I saw something I never thought was even possible.
00:06:34.940
And the people jumping out of the World Trade Center, and America just shocked our innocence.
00:06:48.280
I had said just two years before that there would be blood, body, and buildings in the streets of Manhattan.
00:06:57.280
And I said it would have the name of Osama bin Laden on it.
00:07:10.260
And Premier calls me up and said, we need you to go national.
00:07:13.600
And I went home, and I prayed and prayed and prayed, and I said, you have the wrong guy.
00:07:22.300
And on my first national program, I think I said that.
00:07:29.660
I don't have any idea of what is really going on.
00:07:34.380
But if you'll stick with me, we'll find the answers together.
00:07:39.560
It was just a few days after the World Trade Center.
00:07:43.760
And I'm telling this story because there's a lot of people that are under 30 that probably have not heard this story or have been watched it or been taught the truth about what happened on that day.
00:07:57.540
Osama bin Laden had been waiting ever since Reagan pulled his troops out after the Marine bombing of the barracks in Beirut.
00:08:10.420
He saw that as a sign of weakness, and he told his people at the time, oh, my gosh, we can make the giant move.
00:08:19.100
And they had waited and plotted, and 9-11 was the day.
00:08:31.360
They knew if we collapsed economically in our banking system, we would be over.
00:08:39.420
Everything that he wanted to accomplish, we've been accomplishing ourselves.
00:08:50.560
Bob was the firefighter that happened to be on the fire truck when somebody came up, stood next to him.
00:08:59.300
He had no idea it was the President of the United States.
00:09:11.440
President Bush at ground zero three days after the attacks.
00:09:16.380
A bullhorn in one hand, the other draped around firefighter Bob Beckwith.
00:09:19.980
That firefighter with President Bush was Bob Beckwith.
00:09:22.920
Bob Beckwith stood shoulder to shoulder with President Bush.
00:09:25.800
Bob Beckwith, a firefighter from Queens, New York, in his mid-60s.
00:09:30.200
That day, he stood alongside the President and stepped onto the national patriotic stage.
00:09:54.020
Because I painted a painting of you a couple of weeks ago for an auction.
00:09:59.460
And as I was painting you, I thought, you know, I know this man's story, but not really.
00:10:07.480
First of all, where were you on 9-11 when it happened?
00:10:11.800
When it happened, my daughter had called me that my grandson, going to school on his bicycle,
00:10:19.960
was hit by a car about two blocks away from me.
00:10:23.320
And I ran over there to see what was happening, and I saw him on the ground, but he was moving,
00:10:33.780
And I found out from the ambulance driver what hospital they were taking him to.
00:10:42.140
I listened on the radio, and I heard a guy say,
00:10:45.340
And so I came inside, and my wife had it on the television already.
00:10:56.040
I was looking, and I said, that's a little bit bigger than a small plane.
00:11:02.620
My grandson gets hit by a car, and now a plane goes in.
00:11:10.980
When did the phone call come in that you had to go?
00:11:22.840
Everybody was watching television at the hospital, and I saw the South Tower come down.
00:11:31.260
One World Trade Center has collapsed in its entirety.
00:11:36.060
And then a few minutes later, the North Tower came down.
00:11:44.360
I knew that there was guys in the building, you know, because the firemen were in there.
00:11:48.960
You know what goes through your head when you just hit you pretty hard.
00:11:53.360
I told my wife and my kids that I'm going down to Ground Zero, and they said, don't go down here too well.
00:11:58.960
I was 69 years old, and they thought I was an old man there, and I'm going to get in the way, so just don't go down there.
00:12:07.800
And the next day, I find out that Jimmy Boyle...
00:12:12.180
Now, Jimmy Boyle was the president of the UFA, the Uniformed Firefighters Association, and I was one of his delegates.
00:12:20.460
And when I found out his son is missing, I said, that's it.
00:12:24.480
And I suited up the next morning, and I got to go down to Ground Zero.
00:12:33.100
Then you sneak across the barrier with National Guard.
00:12:40.480
And then I came into Ground Zero, and I tell you, it was a shark.
00:12:44.920
You can see the people running as these buildings begin to crash.
00:12:47.500
The residents were running, racing for their lives.
00:12:52.900
Mains that has yet unidentified survivors will be found in underground.
00:12:56.900
The first thing that came to my mind was, this is how it probably looked in the Blitz.
00:13:05.220
I worked down there all that day, and I was on the Bucket Brigade, and I found a shovel, and I started digging with the guys.
00:13:20.040
And we told the crane operator to put the rig out in the street, which he did.
00:13:27.140
Some guy comes over, and he says, the president is here.
00:13:32.600
And I saw the guys put their shovel down, and I put mine down, and I walked out to the street.
00:13:38.320
And there's that pumper we just dug out of the rubble.
00:13:41.100
So I jumped up on it, and right across the street was a command post, a tent with all microphones in front of it.
00:13:49.960
I figured, oh, that's where the president's going to talk.
00:13:53.260
This Secret Service man came over to me, and he said, is this safe?
00:13:59.220
And he said, well, jump up and down on it for me.
00:14:04.980
He said, somebody important's coming over here.
00:14:08.660
And when they come over here, you help them up, and then you get down.
00:14:13.440
Because you do what the Secret Service guy tells you to do.
00:14:16.100
The president comes around, and he does a hard right, and he comes right in front of me, and he puts his arm up.
00:14:23.100
So I pull him up, and I turn him around, and I said to him, are you okay, Mr. President?
00:14:35.780
And he put his arm around me, and that's my story.
00:14:46.100
What did the president say to you at one point?
00:14:49.320
Do you even remember when he turned to you in the middle of the speech, and he said some things to you?
00:14:58.180
We did speak to each other, but we didn't hear each other.
00:15:05.200
I didn't remember him having that megaphone, that bullhorn.
00:15:09.780
And then he started to speak, and he's speaking to the right.
00:15:12.580
And the guys on the left, they're yelling, we can't hear you.
00:15:17.920
And he turned to the left with the bullhorn, and he said, I can hear you.
00:15:26.280
And the people who knocked these buildings down.
00:15:49.120
Those who were born shortly before or after don't remember an America.
00:15:57.480
It was a completely different place after 9-11.
00:16:03.660
We lost Bob Beckwith this week, the voice you just heard.
00:16:09.120
So that part of history has now been lost to the ages and to digital memories.
00:16:15.180
But there's part two of this story that happened just a few days after.
00:16:32.060
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:16:35.520
The other time America was attacked was December 7, 1941.
00:16:40.300
And the president, just the next day, stood up and said,
00:16:59.320
There's plenty to be worried about, especially in our current economy.
00:17:08.120
If you're somebody who's looking down the barrel of a lot of high-interest credit card debt
00:17:11.700
from things like credit cards, you may be paying 20%, 25%, even 35% interest.
00:17:22.080
They're in the fives, which is lower than they were last year.
00:17:25.280
If you've been buried in high-interest credit card debt,
00:17:30.680
The interest rates are going to go up, I would imagine, by a lot after the election.
00:17:36.060
American Financing can help you access the cash in your home to pay off that high-interest debt.
00:17:41.740
Last year, they helped customers save an average of $854 every month.
00:17:51.620
You can start maybe by delaying two mortgage payments and getting that monkey off your back.
00:18:07.740
So we're going to get to the news of the day that, you know, is currently breathing down our neck.
00:18:30.380
But I want to tell you the second part of that story, my memory, at least.
00:18:34.320
After that day, it wasn't too much longer after that I was standing in a parking lot, and Stu, I think you were with me.
00:18:44.800
We were standing in a parking lot, and a song came on the radio, and it reflected the way everybody felt at the time.
00:18:55.520
I'm not sure if we could say that today, but back then, everybody felt, yes, someone is saying it.
00:19:09.040
And in case you haven't heard yet, Toby Keith passed away of cancer last night.
00:19:15.020
This is the song that he played when the rubble was still smoking in New York City.
00:19:25.580
American girls and American guys, we'll always stand up and salute.
00:19:34.300
We'll always recognize when we see old glory flying.
00:19:49.720
Toby Keith, who we lost last night, an incredible guy.
00:19:57.740
I remember one time my phone rang, and I looked down, and it's Toby Keith, and he's on his tractor.
00:20:05.460
He was a remarkable, just American farmer, rancher.
00:20:11.240
Each of these stories need to be taught to your children.
00:20:23.160
Tell them who Osama bin Laden really was, because they won't learn it in school.
00:20:27.220
Tell them the difference in the airports, and our rights, and the DHS, and privacy, and the Patriot Act.
00:20:32.940
Tell them what you've learned since you shouted that song every time it played.
00:20:38.260
We are a country, not of our past, but of the idea.
00:20:54.060
But our sponsor this half hour is Lear Capital.
00:20:59.660
There is an enormous economic upheaval that is headed our way right now,
00:21:06.080
With conditions like this, precious metals, as you know, I've been talking to you about it for years.
00:21:11.500
Make the difference between protecting your retirement or losing it.
00:21:16.280
Lear Capital is a new sponsor to the program, and we're glad to have them.
00:21:20.080
It makes it easy to convert an IRA or a 401k into a gold and silver IRA.
00:21:26.820
The best part is there's no tax penalties to do it.
00:21:33.280
It's easy. Lear can walk you through three simple steps, and you're done.
00:21:43.660
You'll just get free information on protecting your hard-earned retirement with gold and silver.
00:21:49.300
It's Lear Capital, the one I trusted for so long because Rush did.
00:21:54.420
Call them now, 800-889-3070, 800-889-3070, Lear Capital.
00:22:01.360
I'm in New Haven, Connecticut for a family emergency,
00:22:19.420
and I can't thank Vinnie Penn and Fred, the engineer, for all of their help here at WELI in New Haven,
00:22:30.280
getting us on the air and being such gracious hosts to us.
00:22:39.160
and I can't tell you the full story, but I have somebody on the phone with me who can.
00:22:45.640
Yesterday, right after I got off the air, Henry Rogers wrote and tweeted,
00:22:50.660
I am told Mike Lee Stafford just blew up at the GOP conference comms meeting and stormed out.
00:23:01.280
he said that Senator Lankford might not want to get re-elected,
00:23:04.780
but the rest of the bosses do, followed by applause.
00:23:07.500
Another source tells me there was more laughter than applause inside the room after the staffer left.
00:23:14.200
Billy Gribben is the guy who walked out of the room.
00:23:18.080
He's the communications director for Senator Mike Lee,
00:23:21.020
and I called Mike right after, and I haven't heard the story yet,
00:23:33.980
What's been happening is leadership in the Senate,
00:23:36.880
especially has been telling us all, you know, for weeks and weeks that there's this great bill going to come out.
00:23:43.380
All our fears about it, about this border deal, our, you know, misinformation.
00:23:49.480
I think one senator even called conservatives who were worried about the bill said that it was Russian misinformation,
00:23:56.640
that we were finding all these problems with the bill.
00:23:59.440
Well, finally, the text drops, and the bill's even worse than we thought before.
00:24:03.280
And so we're at this conference meeting, and, you know, I need to start by saying, you know,
00:24:09.120
my staff colleagues, Senator Lankford's office, Mitch McConnell's office, they're good people.
00:24:15.320
But when they come up there and give a speech about how all our problems with the bill,
00:24:19.720
all the problems that millions of Americans across the country are looking at Washington saying,
00:24:24.000
why would you ever pass this terrible, terrible border bill that doesn't fix the problems and makes it worse?
00:24:31.200
You know, getting up there and saying, well, actually, you're all wrong, and this is all misinformation.
00:24:35.920
You know, I got a little hot under the collar and loudly corrected them for about 30 seconds and stormed out.
00:24:43.540
So I'm sure there was laughter when I exited the room because I might have been a little bit dramatic.
00:24:48.120
Right. Did you, when you stormed out, did you scream betrayal?
00:24:58.220
Okay. So how, how are you treated the rest of the day by colleagues?
00:25:03.800
Are you, do you feel you're in the majority, minority, majority?
00:25:08.240
What, what is the feel up there on Capitol Hill?
00:25:12.740
Well, I'm sure I'm persona non grata in a few offices,
00:25:19.540
the ones that have been fighting the good fight, not just on the border,
00:25:22.360
but on every, on every pro freedom, pro life, pro liberty, you know, border security issue for years.
00:25:29.320
You know, they're all backing me up on this one.
00:25:31.780
And quite frankly, a growing number of senators, including Mitch McConnell,
00:25:40.120
wouldn't you know it that by, you know, 8 PM last night,
00:25:43.720
the vast majority of the conference said, you know,
00:25:47.360
we're, we're going to wait on this border bill or we should vote no on cloture on it.
00:25:51.740
So looks like all it took was about 10 hours for everyone's bosses to kind of come to the realization
00:25:58.540
that they were going to have a very, very angry GOP voting base
00:26:03.460
and, and millions of Americans angry across the nation at, uh, at this border sellout.
00:26:08.700
So, uh, Billy, tell me about the, um, what, what cloture means exactly.
00:26:14.820
So this would be a voting step, the vote to proceed to a vote.
00:26:20.580
So once you vote for, for, uh, cloture on the motion proceed,
00:26:24.240
you would be, you'd be saying, okay, we're ending debate.
00:26:27.340
And now we're opening up debate at the end of which we will vote on this bill.
00:26:32.240
This is all, you know, Washington, uh, double speak, but it's, it's basically a vote in order
00:26:40.160
And, and the key thing here is, is that, uh, it, it looks like, you know, I don't want
00:26:45.160
to jinx it, knock on wood, but it looks like this border deal will probably fail this upcoming
00:26:56.340
That means it can go back for more debate at another time or talk of amendments or something
00:27:07.660
This is not the time to, uh, rest on our laurels.
00:27:10.780
This is not the time to high five each other and, and go home.
00:27:14.320
Uh, we need to, uh, keep pushing on this to make sure that we have real border security,
00:27:23.160
And, and, you know, that's the most insulting thing about this is that we were being told
00:27:27.940
both by Democrats and by Republican leadership that, oh, this is great.
00:27:34.580
Not only did it not achieve its stated ends, but it was going to codify catch and release
00:27:41.200
the problem that Biden got us into this mess with.
00:27:44.100
It was going to fund the, uh, NGOs and sanctuary cities around the country to keep facilitating
00:27:51.560
Uh, you know, and it was going to give work permits to basically everyone who, who, uh,
00:27:56.700
you applied for asylum and was released into the country.
00:27:59.060
Uh, and, and I'm just looking at the notes your boss made a subsidized free taxpayer funded
00:28:05.240
legal counsel to all illegal aliens, uh, expands parole instead of limiting it, uh, increase
00:28:11.900
green cards by 50,000 per year for the next five years, work permits for adult children of
00:28:18.160
H, uh, one B visa holders, immediate work permits to every illegal release from custody after they
00:28:24.540
pass the initial screening, nothing to deport illegals, the Afghan adjustment act, which
00:28:30.900
is a pathway to citizenship for 60,000 poorly vetted Afghans who were brought into the country
00:28:36.600
because of president Biden weakens asylum, asylum screening by codifying the bottom Biden policy.
00:28:44.300
Can you explain that one codifies a Bilem, uh, the Biden asylum officer regulation empowers
00:28:49.920
U.S. CIS asylum officers to grant asylum withholding of removal and protection of, uh, under the
00:28:57.720
convention against torture without review by an immigration judge?
00:29:01.600
Yeah, basically, uh, in, in layman's terms, far from reforming this broken asylum process,
00:29:07.320
where basically everyone who shows up claims asylum, like 90 to 99% of them, you know, if,
00:29:14.520
if we actually adjudicated it through the system, it takes years, you know, with their claims
00:29:18.800
would be denied because they're, they're false. Uh, but this far from reforming that broken system,
00:29:24.560
which has resulted in 6 million people border encounters in the last three years, uh, this
00:29:28.940
would take the power from judges and give it to, uh, officers, basically Biden administration
00:29:36.400
officials so that they could unilaterally say, you get a car, you get asylum and you get asylum.
00:29:42.540
So your way to speed up the process just by giving asylum to everybody.
00:29:46.420
So the, the, the difference here, I think, is the Democrats keep saying they're holding
00:29:52.140
up immigration. Okay. They're holding up all immigration reform, which would solve the problem.
00:29:57.440
No, we're looking for a secure border. They're looking for that magic unicorn of a, you know,
00:30:07.940
one bill solves all immigration, all everything we've been arguing about for 50 years.
00:30:13.960
And this is their immigration bill where the Republicans are looking for a border bill.
00:30:24.320
Precisely. Uh, we, we are also looking for Joe Biden to simply enforce the law that he already
00:30:32.100
has, uh, their, their special pleading that, Oh, well, we need this in order to secure the border
00:30:36.920
is, is, is 100% false. Uh, you know, we would like followed legislation that forced, that compelled
00:30:44.420
the executive branch to take action. The problem is this is full of the word may or at his discretion
00:30:52.160
or et cetera, et cetera. This is full of opportunities for a good president to do something. Well, guess
00:30:58.200
what? At least for the next year, we do not have a good president.
00:31:00.880
Um, why don't we just vote? Do we not have the votes to, to stop it? Why don't we just vote,
00:31:08.140
move to, you know, vote for cloture and then go to the floor and kill this thing?
00:31:14.080
Well, uh, the problem is the, the higher threshold of votes happens, happens, uh, on Wednesday,
00:31:21.960
presume, presuming to bring it up there to, to close debate. So our best chance of just taking this
00:31:27.160
off the table in the Senate altogether is in fact, this preliminary vote, um, because, uh, they need,
00:31:34.360
they need a 60 volt threshold to proceed to then the final vote on this legislation. So this is,
00:31:42.220
this is the Alamo on this. And I think the good news is, I mean, if, if, if leader McConnell, uh,
00:31:49.440
himself is saying, you know, Oh, we, we should probably vote. No one cloture to give us more time
00:31:54.160
to talk about it again. I don't want to count my chickens, but it looks like this thing is,
00:32:00.100
is going down. That does not mean we let up the pressure. That means we congratulate people who
00:32:06.300
have come around to the side of light. And, and for those who haven't, we, uh, keep on energetically
00:32:11.920
telling them that the American people will accept nothing less than secure borders.
00:32:16.600
Yeah. Um, yeah. Cause you can't, you, you know, you vote on Wednesday. That's not the end of it.
00:32:20.720
We're still being invaded. Uh, and it has got to stop at some point. It has to stop or we don't
00:32:28.020
make it. Billy. Thank you so much. Thank you, Glenn. Thanks for having me on. You bet. That's,
00:32:34.020
uh, Billy Gribben. He is, um, he's been in the trenches with the Jim DeMint, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz.
00:32:41.160
He was working with Donald Trump, uh, and he joined Senator Lee as his communications director last
00:32:47.200
August. Uh, there are some really good people, uh, as we are finding, uh, and then, and then there's
00:32:53.880
that one from Oklahoma, but you know, Oklahoma has to deal with that. Um, but, uh, there are some
00:33:00.020
really good people and we have the chance if, if the Republicans stand and do the right thing,
00:33:08.960
if they are just saying, we've got to shut down the border, we have to protect our border. We will
00:33:16.380
work everything else out after, but turn the water off. If they fail to do that, uh, they're going to,
00:33:23.900
they're going to have a lot of people that will just turn away ballot and they won't vote for
00:33:28.400
anybody because they'll think, you know, this, this game is just going to continue, uh, to play
00:33:33.000
and you won't get the Senate. You won't get the house that you need. If you do get, uh, Donald
00:33:38.940
Trump in, um, you're going to need the house and the Senate and you're going to need good people.
00:33:44.560
And there are those good people out there. And, uh, we'll talk about them as we get closer to the
00:33:49.900
election. So you can, uh, be exposed to some of the people that the media may be calling, I'm sure,
00:33:56.200
you know, Nazis and racists and, and everything else they always do. I don't know that, uh, you know,
00:34:02.000
it doesn't carry a lot of weight anymore. It may even, if you're being called that by the, uh,
00:34:05.960
by the left, uh, it might be a reason to look at that person and go, Oh yeah, probably they're
00:34:10.740
probably pretty good. Cause they're probably none of those things back in just a second.
00:34:17.120
Mantis X is a, uh, is a system that I use to help keep my, my accuracy on my gun. It's a
00:34:24.820
diminishing skill. Uh, if you're a good shot, you really have to keep it up because it goes away
00:34:30.560
quickly. It is a lot of, it is muscle memory. Uh, I've never thought, gee, I spend too much time
00:34:36.560
in the gun range. And that's why I have Mantis X. It is a high tech, easy to use system. We used
00:34:43.300
widely by the military and helps you improve your shooting quickly. You just attach it to your
00:34:47.960
firearm, connect it with an app on your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth. Then whether you're
00:34:52.820
firing actual rounds or even dry fire practicing, it'll give you instant feedback on what you're doing,
00:34:58.020
right, what you're doing wrong and how to correct it. It, it does it in real time. You can watch
00:35:04.000
your aim. You can see when you're pulling the trigger, exactly what happens to the barrel
00:35:08.740
and you can improve in 20 minutes. In fact, 94% of the shooters that use Mantis X do improve within
00:35:15.340
20 minutes. Uh, it is the best thing you can do besides getting a, well, I actually think it's
00:35:21.000
better than having a firearm instructor standing next to you because they don't miss anything on
00:35:25.780

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, we have 21 Republican nose or likely nose.
00:37:43.840
Let me give you the list. Uh, Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee, Mike Braun, Indiana, Katie Britt of
00:37:50.540
Alabama, Ted Budd, North Carolina, Tom Cotton, Arkansas, Ted Cruz, uh, Steve Dane, Montana,
00:37:57.560
Deb Fisher, Nebraska, Bill Haggerty, Tennessee, Josh Hawley, Missouri, Ron Johnson, Wisconsin,
00:38:03.480
Mike Lee in Utah, Roger Marshall, Kansas, uh, Rand Paul in Kentucky, Marco Rubio, Mike
00:38:11.420
Rounds, uh, Eric Schmidt in Missouri. Of course, Tim Scott in South Carolina, Rick Scott in Florida,
00:38:18.920
Tommy Tuberville in, uh, Alabama and JD Vance in Ohio. Tuberville, but yes. Yes. Tuberville.
00:38:26.560
Sorry. Um, I always say that. Um, yeah, I know. Um, let's see. I'm just looking for, you know,
00:38:33.240
if you look at, if you look at our senators, it is growing, uh, into some real great people.
00:38:41.620
It used to be just, you know, one or two Marsha Blackburn. I'd say she's great. Ted Cruz, Mike
00:38:47.140
Lee, Rand Paul, uh, JD Vance. Um, would you put Rick Scott in the great? He's solid. I like
00:38:55.380
Rick Scott, you know? Yeah. Tim Scott. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, borderline borderline. He's pretty
00:39:01.420
good. Pretty good. I'd put, I'd put, uh, Eric Schmidt in the great. I mean, he's new. Oh
00:39:06.320
yeah. He's been, he's been fantastic. Yeah. Um, I hope so. He's like a, you know, a number
00:39:12.480
one draft pick. You're excited about that. Yeah. You know, like right now it looks like
00:39:15.500
it looks like you made the right pick. Yeah. I mean that one, two, three, four, five, six,
00:39:22.520
seven. There, there's, there's seven in the Senate that just out of this list that you
00:39:27.340
can go that they're really good. They're really good. Yeah. And there's, and the rest
00:39:31.000
of them are, I should say, those are great. To me, those are stars. The, the others are
00:39:36.500
just really good. They're good. You got some solid ones in there. Yeah. I mean, and you
00:39:40.920
know, you have some that are a matter of taste. Deb Fisher's voting record as I've complained
00:39:45.880
about before, uh, publicly. Um, uh, the, uh, Tom Cotton is kind of Tom Cotton. I put, there's
00:39:52.940
a taste issue. Like, do you like sushi? Well, it's, this is the greatest sushi in the
00:39:57.280
world. And the question is, do you, but some people just don't like sushi. Right. So
00:40:00.700
like I put into that category, um, we have JD Vance on today. Some people just don't
00:40:05.600
like that his version of Republican, right? Like they don't like that. Tom Cotton and
00:40:10.460
Josh Hawley. I put all three of those in that category. Probably Rand Paul belongs to
00:40:13.960
that category too. If you don't want a libertarian flair of, of your Republican
00:40:17.940
politician, you're not going to have that over, uh, over somebody who is, uh, Mitch
00:40:22.220
McConnell. Uh, JD Vance is joining us here in just a second at the, uh, the top
00:40:27.920
of, uh, hour number two. So stand by after the break, we come back with JD Vance. I
00:40:33.160
think JD should be considered a vice presidential candidate with Donald Trump
00:40:37.080
because whoever is that vice president is the leader going forward after the, uh,
00:40:43.320
last term of Trump. Uh, I'd like to see Donald Trump make a bold, bold move with
00:40:50.180
somebody who is just rock solid and proven. The Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you
00:40:56.740
about our sponsor rough greens. Owning a dog is a lot of responsibility. You always
00:41:01.660
have to check it because it might poison your food with lead. You never know, uh,
00:41:06.260
taking care of their basic needs. Isn't always as simple as it might seem. If
00:41:09.580
you're feeding your dog kibble food, for instance, in a lead bowl with lead paint,
00:41:15.300
that's all chipped bad. But, uh, if you get rid of the bowl and the paint and
00:41:20.100
everything else and add rough greens to the kibble food, your dog is going to have
00:41:24.000
a happy, healthy life. Lead free kibble food is, uh, is not doing the job. You need
00:41:30.960
the antioxidants, the probiotics and, uh, the vitamins and minerals that you'll find
00:41:35.680
in rough greens. Try it out with your dog. You'll see what I mean. You get your first

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:39.060
Well, breaking news coming out of, uh, the district court of Washington DC. It's going
00:42:44.780
to come as a surprise to you, Stu. Yes. Uh, Donald Trump, who was in one of his arguments
00:42:49.200
was that he was completely immune from prosecution for anything that he did when he was president
00:42:54.700
of the United States in the interests of the country. Uh, the court has come down with a
00:42:59.000
ruling DC court, uh, circuit court says he is not immune from prosecution. I think this
00:43:05.120
is as expected here, but, uh, it is a final. It could have gone anywhere, any way, any direction
00:43:11.820
in Washington DC. Sure. In a court. Yeah. I could have gone his way. Absolutely. We're going to talk
00:43:17.060
to Senator JD Vance about the border here in just a second. We'll see if he has a reaction to this
00:43:21.840
as well. Coming up in 60 seconds. Stand by. First life lock. You want to know the latest craze in

turns out it's pretty easy to replace a legitimate QR code with one that will direct you to malicious
00:43:39.860

00:44:41.140
The good Senator, dare I say great Senator from the state of Ohio, JD Vance. Hello, JD.
00:44:47.460
Hey, how are you? I'm good. Uh, so, uh, I want to talk to you about the Senate border bill here in
00:44:54.360
just a second, but, uh, do you have any comment on this shocking, shocking news that's just breaking
00:44:59.900
that Donald Trump is responsible for everything he did in, uh, while he was in the white house and
00:45:05.920
can go to trial? So I first heard about this like three minutes ago when I was waiting to come on
00:45:11.780
your show. I haven't read the, I haven't read the ruling. I have nothing particular to say about it
00:45:16.860
other than look, I, I agree with Trump that the president has pretty broad, um, pretty broad immunity
00:45:22.880
from a large number of prosecutions for what he does while he's in office. You know, you can't go
00:45:27.580
after the president for doing his constitutional duties in the same way that most police officers are
00:45:31.860
immune, you know, from most prosecutions for doing their job. Uh, I haven't seen this case,
00:45:37.000
but I'm not shocked that the DC circuit ruled against the president. As we know, a lot of these
00:45:40.740
things have become political. And I hate to say it, Glenn, I think we have to be honest with ourselves
00:45:44.400
as conservatives, that much of what is framed as legal in this country is now just politics.
00:45:50.020
And we have to wake up to that reality and deal with it. Yeah. Um, next hour, I'm going to go
00:45:54.660
through some of the stuff that's going on with the legal system and, uh, conservatives are in real
00:46:00.100
trouble. They're blocking, uh, uh, attorneys, uh, by threatening to sue them and destroy their lives
00:46:07.700
and take away their license. If they, if they start to represent any client that disagrees with
00:46:12.520
this administration, this is, I mean, I personally think when they say, you know, Donald Trump will be
00:46:17.460
a dictator. Okay. Well, what's the difference? Cause this is what we have now. We, we are so close to
00:46:24.300
really a dictatorship, uh, closer than I've ever seen this country. Yeah, I agree. And we also have
00:46:31.580
parents, of course, having their parental rights taken away for not consenting for their kids' gender
00:46:36.000
identity. Uh, my first exposure to this, by the way, Glenn, was I was advising this company Parler,
00:46:42.500
which was sort of an original free speech alternative to Twitter after January the 6th, Google, Apple,
00:46:48.460
Amazon, just in a very coordinated way came against this company. It was very obviously a violation of
00:46:54.160
antitrust laws. Nobody, no major law firm would represent that company because they would have their
00:46:59.520
lives ruined. And that's when I sort of realized that what we're witnessing is complete institutional
00:47:04.280
capture by the left. And I think, you know, this is one of the reasons why my politics are what they
00:47:09.380
are. I've been trying to encourage my fellow conservatives to wake up to this new reality that we're
00:47:13.860
living in, because if this is what we're dealing with, then it's not a question of, well, you know,
00:47:18.440
come into office and you fight over tax rates and you fight over regulatory reform. We have to
00:47:23.540
really recapture many of these institutions. That should be the goal of conservative politics in the
00:47:28.240
21st century. And again, I encourage my fellow conservatives to wake up to that reality.
00:47:33.180
I'd like to see somebody put together a conservative law firm with the best lawyers in the country that
00:47:39.660
are willing to stand together and fight this together. And I think at least my audience, and I think most
00:47:45.120
audiences on the right would consider coming up with a legal defense fund, because, you know,
00:47:50.300
anybody who serves with Trump, it's going to need one because they're going to go after him all the
00:47:54.240
time, constantly. All right, let me talk about the border. The Senate border deal is not a border deal.
00:48:01.220
As I look at it, a it's a war package and tied to it is a really bad immigration policy. It has nothing
00:48:12.660
really to do with the border or or solving that. Would you agree or disagree?
00:48:17.280
Look, I agree with that, Glenn. We have to be honest that what happened here is the neoconservative
00:48:24.080
establishment of the Democrats really want sixty one billion dollars for Ukraine. And they've been
00:48:28.420
working very hard to figure out how to package that to the American people. Now, what we came up
00:48:33.300
with in the Republican Senate, you know, I'm the biggest Ukraine skeptic, probably in the United States
00:48:37.780
Senate, is like, look, guys, even if you're pro Ukraine, you've got to secure the border before
00:48:42.980
you do anything on Ukraine or our voters are going to go absolutely crazy and rightfully so.
00:48:47.560
So this fig leaf is what we came up with. And I got to be honest with you, Glenn, it is worse in the
00:48:52.240
execution than I feared that it would be. There's a couple of provisions here that I think is very
00:48:56.500
important for us to be honest about how bad they are. OK, so the first is it takes away the right to
00:49:03.200
grant asylum from immigration judges who are not perfect and gives them to USCIS asylum officers
00:49:09.600
who are basically the most left wing officials within the immigration bureaucracy. So you basically
00:49:14.220
are giving Mayorkas and his stooges control over who gets asylum in this country. Very big mistake.
00:49:21.080
Second. Hang on just a second. Hang on just a second. Isn't this akin to what Congress did
00:49:27.340
years ago by giving all of the power to make the decisions and make the laws inside the
00:49:34.840
administration so nobody gets blamed for it and they just go their own way and you can't hold
00:49:39.260
them responsible? This is the same thing, isn't it? Just giving the administration more power and
00:49:44.340
leeway to do whatever they want. That's right. With maybe the most important issue facing the
00:49:49.320
country, of course, which is immigration, not just now, but for all time, it's who do you allow to
00:49:53.980
become a citizen of your country? It's like the fundamental question of national sovereignty.
00:49:58.460
And it gives it over to a guy who, by the way, Glenn, the House is impeaching maybe today.
00:50:03.000
And we're talking about giving this guy massive authority. The second big issue here, Glenn,
00:50:07.900
is it has this sort of border emergency shutdown, which actually sounds good, right? If you were going
00:50:12.920
to say, you know, as soon as you get an illegal alien coming across, you shut down the border,
00:50:17.460
you radically change enforcement. But this sets the emergency authority at 5,000 illegal immigrants
00:50:23.820
a day, which is close to 2 million a year. And again, Glenn, it gives Mayorkas broad discretion
00:50:29.760
to waive this emergency authority. So this is not a good package. We should vote it down.
00:50:35.420
I actually, good news, when we had a meeting as a Senate conference yesterday evening, and I think
00:50:41.340
everybody pretty much agrees that we cannot proceed on this thing right now. We just need to continue to
00:50:47.040
hold everyone's feet to the fire so that this package doesn't become law. And again, we have to remember,
00:50:52.300
this is all about hiding from the American people, the ball on Ukraine. They don't want to be called
00:50:57.620
to account for a vote on Ukraine. So they're going to call it border security. That's not what it's
00:51:01.760
about. We are paying, correct me if I'm wrong, the salaries of everyone in their civil service.
00:51:10.040
So the entire government is now being subsidized by the United States taxpayer. Are we not paying
00:51:18.960
everybody's compensation here in America and over in Ukraine?
00:51:26.980
I don't know if it's everybody in Ukraine, Glenn, to be clear, but it's a lot of them.
00:51:30.320
We're certainly paying for core parts of their civil service. And we know this, that they're
00:51:35.080
paying for their social security, I believe. We're paying for their pensioners. We're paying
00:51:39.640
for a lot of their civil service. That's absolutely right. And we also know that there's a lot of
00:51:43.280
skimming off the top. There's a lot of corruption. It's a corrupt country. We've known that for well
00:51:47.520
before this war started. But here's the issue, Glenn. We are told that this war is all about repelling
00:51:54.580
Russia so that Ukraine can be an independent bulwark. What is actually happening is that we've
00:52:00.360
strengthened Russia and Ukraine has become a welfare client of the United States, not just now,
00:52:06.080
but in perpetuity. So we have failed at the fundamental objective. We've spent well over
00:52:11.160
$100 billion to accomplish that failed objective. And there's no end in sight. It's time for the
00:52:16.760
statesmen in this country to step up and say, enough is enough. This has to stop. As Donald Trump said,
00:52:22.160
maybe the most important thing he said on the campaign trail is we need the killing to stop.
00:52:27.380
That's what's in America's interest. And that's what I'm fighting for.
00:52:30.360
The Senator Schumer came out and said, if we don't vote for this, well, American soldiers,
00:52:38.500
our American boys and girls are going to be over on the front lines fighting Russia
00:52:47.700
It's fear mongering, Glenn, and it's not true. And by the way, if the argument goes something like
00:52:52.800
this, the Russians are going to roll through Ukraine, and then they'll roll into Berlin. And that's the
00:52:58.860
point at which American troops will be called to fight the Russians. Well, here's the problem
00:53:02.960
with that. Germany has, I think, the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world. They spend way less
00:53:08.500
than 2% of GDP, which is the NATO target on defense. If the Germans are at that much risk of
00:53:14.900
the Russians, we need to say to the Germans, get your own house in order, stand up your own security
00:53:20.380
forces. Don't rely on the Americans to bail you out. It actually calls into question, Glenn,
00:53:26.420
and I'm going to get roasted for saying this, but good, because it's a conversation we need to have.
00:53:30.760
What is the purpose of NATO if the only thing it does is provide more people for us to support?
00:53:36.840
NATO is supposed to be an alliance. The Germans step up. Everybody steps up. The only two countries,
00:53:43.240
or at least the only two major countries with big economies that do their job on defense are France
00:53:48.520
in the UK. Eastern and Central Europe have got to step up in a bigger way, Glenn, and we should not
00:53:56.340
be asked to effectively subsidize their security apparatus. That's not an argument for an ally.
00:54:02.780
That's an argument for another welfare client, and the United States has far too many of them.
00:54:07.760
So let me switch subjects. We talked about the lawyers and how they are being blocked,
00:54:15.460
if you're on the conservative side. Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee on the weaponization
00:54:21.620
of the government highlighted the Biden administration's efforts to, quote, address
00:54:28.480
propaganda and misinformation in books that were being sold. And Jim Jordan yesterday outlined
00:54:36.880
an effort to stop Amazon from selling certain books that disagreed with the administration.
00:54:48.580
I mean, you want to talk about book burning. Do you know anything about this? And when is someone
00:54:59.820
Well, credit to Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary for actually using their subpoena powers. It's
00:55:06.600
meant to be used in investigating here. But look, Glenn, this is akin to what we saw with the big tech
00:55:11.300
companies colluding with the government to silence the Trump campaign, to promote the Biden campaign.
00:55:16.840
This is what I talk about, institutional capture, Glenn. We have bureaucrats in the government working
00:55:22.820
with some of these companies to engage in a mass censorship campaign in this country.
00:55:27.460
And it's largely hidden, of course, because it's shadow banning on social media.
00:55:32.140
It's the books you don't see when you type in a search on Amazon.
00:55:36.120
That's what's so evil genius about it is that we don't even see it.
00:55:40.900
But this is how totalitarian regimes operate, is that they can control what you think and what media
00:55:46.640
can you consume. Then they control what you behave. And that's when you're no longer a free citizen.
00:55:51.720
Look, I think that this is illegal stuff. Potentially, people should be going to prison for it.
00:55:55.980
And this is the best argument, maybe, that I can make for a future, you know, Attorney General
00:56:02.460
Josh Hawley or someone else, is you've got to go after these guys and actually force them to suffer
00:56:08.680
consequences. It's the only language these people understand is power. And if you're going to use
00:56:14.020
your constitutional authority to shade into unconstitutional censorship, you've got to face
00:56:20.200
consequences for it. At the very least, you ought to lose your job.
00:56:22.320
You know, you are you're very effective as a senator. I would hate to lose you as a senator,
00:56:28.800
but that Ohio is a very important state. Has there been any talk about consideration of you
00:56:39.480
I've seen the media stories, Glenn. And as I said, of course, if the president asked me,
00:56:44.000
I think about it. I do think it's extremely important that we reelect Donald Trump.
00:56:48.080
But I like being a senator. I think that's the best way for me to serve the people of Ohio.
00:56:53.140
And that's that's that's my honest answer is, yeah, I'd think about it. But I really like my
00:56:56.840
current job. And to your point, Glenn, we actually need people at all levels of the federal government
00:57:01.680
if we're going to implement an effective agenda. The president is, of course, the most important,
00:57:06.300
you know, things like immigration, foreign policy controls almost unilaterally. But you need good
00:57:11.940
lawmakers. And that was one of the problems with the first Trump administration.
00:57:15.620
Way too many Republicans fighting against the leader of their own party. If we want to work
00:57:23.400
Are we going to see a close of the border? I mean, a meaning, meaningful securing of the border
00:57:32.500
I hate to say it, probably no, unless Republicans grow a lot stiffer of a spine here, Glenn. Here's
00:57:38.260
the leverage that we have. It's two things. It's Ukraine and it's government funding. We would be
00:57:44.240
willing as a unified Republican conference, House and Senate to say, we're not funding any more of
00:57:51.420
your government until you get illegal border crossings below, you know, at least a thousand
00:57:55.700
per day, right? That's a significant reduction of where it is. I don't see that that resolve within
00:58:01.460
my fellow Republicans. I think that there are some of us who would do that. I certainly would.
00:58:05.900
But I would hold my breath. And I hate to say it, Glenn, but I'm just being honest with you.
00:58:09.820
Yeah. All right. Thank you for loving country more than self. I appreciate it. J.D. Vance.
00:58:20.640
You're tired of not only paying far too much for your mobile phone service, but also knowing that
00:58:24.960
some of the money that you give them goes to support causes that you absolutely despise.
00:58:29.840
One of the very best things about living in a country where, for now at least, there's still
00:58:34.320
a free market is you get to choose who to do business with. Patriot Mobile's mission is to
00:58:39.400
passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms. And the way they do that,
00:58:44.420
the way they fund that, is by giving you the greatest mobile phone service at the best possible
00:58:50.160
price. So on top of everything that you could possibly want in a mobile phone plan, on one of the
00:58:56.780
three major networks, because they use the same cell tower, so you're going to get the same
00:59:01.840
coverage. Your hard-earned money does not go to aid in the destruction of America. We have got to
00:59:08.380
choose sides. This really, honestly, is the lowest bar of helping your country out. It's it. I mean,
00:59:15.520
if you can't change your cell service, you're not going to change anything else. Please join us.

Boy, I got to tell you, you know, it's really incredible to see how much gusto the president
00:59:56.720
has. This is a cut that came out Sunday in Las Vegas. Here's President Joe Biden on, you
01:00:06.840
know, the state of the world. Listen. People have pled guilty. You know, right after I was
01:00:15.020
elected, I went to what they call a G7 meeting, all the NATO leaders. I was in the south of England.
01:00:22.460
And I sat down and I said, America's back. And Mitterrand from Germany, I mean, from France
01:00:29.800
looked at me and said, said, you know, what? Why? How long are you back for?
01:00:40.420
Oh, my gosh. Holy crap. Holy cow. By the way, Mitterrand died 20, 25, 26 years ago.
01:00:49.180
So he couldn't have met with him. I mean, unless he's starting to see people in the room. It's like,
01:00:55.300
I see Mitterrand right over there. Oh, I'm coming soon. But he's dead. Died in 1996.
01:01:04.400
So, you know, no big deal. But I think the electric storytelling of the president and then when
01:01:10.860
you're how it to win along your back four, it just instills confidence in most Americans.
01:01:18.520
The scariest part about this, Glenn, is not even that it's happening. It's the fact that
01:01:21.600
there are dozens and dozens of people around this guy who are highly trained in political
01:01:30.280
craftsmanship that their entire job is to avoid us from seeing these moments, is to make sure that
01:01:36.500
we avoid seeing this stuff. Right. And they can't stop it. They can't stop it. They can't
01:01:41.840
stop it. Can't stop it. These are people in the media. The media is working with them,
01:01:46.440
working with them. They still can't stop it. And we still keep seeing it like this should not be
01:01:50.280
happening. It is out of control. He really can't stop this stuff. He is lost. Gingrich came out
01:01:57.080
yesterday and he said there is a possibility for the first time, he believes possibility of a
01:02:02.360
genuine rebellion at the Democratic Party convention. And he said, you know, I, I, I don't
01:02:11.360
think this, he said, but people who are really, truly connected and are, I find very, very smart.
01:02:19.920
I think that it's going to be, he's going to be replaced by Michelle Obama.
01:02:24.660
Uh, you know, I, I had a Dan Endros on my show last night and, uh, he took a position on our
01:02:33.580
wager. Uh, he took your position. He believes you are right. And then you can't take Kamala
01:02:41.860
Harris out that you, that that's the key. It's not like you're just, you know, Oh, well, he's not
01:02:47.320
going to run. So they're going to grab somebody else. They can't grab anybody else. They can't,
01:02:51.600
they have, what do you do with the problem? Like Kamala? I mean, it's you, you, you, what
01:02:58.920
do you do? Look, I have to have somebody like Michelle Obama that everybody just forgets
01:03:04.440
Kamala. I understand that position last week, but after hearing that riveting story about
01:03:09.180
the French leader, I don't see how you still think Joe Biden's going to be the nominee.
01:03:12.920
I mean, he's this guy, once he gets in front of people, I mean, you know, you don't want
01:03:19.720
to give him the opportunity of talking in front of the whole country by the Superbowl.
01:03:22.900
Of course, you just turn that one down, but eventually he'll turn up the heat.
01:03:30.680
For five years in a row, abortion has been the world's leading cause of death five years
01:03:35.560
in a row. In fact, the total now is greater than the number attributed to the next seven
01:03:40.360
causes of death combined. Did you hear that? Before I get to the end of this commercial,
01:03:46.300
two babies in the United States alone will have been aborted. Preborn is leading the charge
01:03:52.320
to turn this around, but they can't do it without people like you, the people in the pro-life
01:03:56.080
movement. We're the gas that keeps the engine running and it must keep running. Preborn has
01:04:01.880
rescued over 280,000 babies from abortion and every day they rescue 200 more. When a woman
01:04:10.680
is considering an abortion, she hears her baby's heartbeat and sees the precious little face on
01:04:14.820
the ultrasound. That's when the baby's chance of survival doubles. Then preborn comes to them and
01:04:22.440
says, look, you're not alone. We're not just here for the baby. We're here for you too. And we'll help
01:04:28.480
you for the first two years. This is love on both sides and saves two lives in the end. Would you make
01:04:35.880
a donation? You can make a donation for a lot of money or just 28 bucks for an ultrasound dial pound

01:04:50.840
Well, when you lose Al Sharpton and you're on the left, uh, that's quite an accomplishment.
01:05:08.780
Here is Al Sharpton with Senator Chris Murphy on MSNBC's. Wow. Al Sharpton show. I didn't know he
01:05:16.740
still was. Wow. That's amazing. On his show, he's, he's, uh, talking with Chris Murphy about
01:05:22.960
the invasion. Cut to what is being done to, uh, get the public, uh, to really, uh, rise up in various
01:05:33.220
states to say to their senators that they want to see the borders, uh, the border issue resolved. I mean,
01:05:40.980
you're getting migrants beating up policemen in the streets of New York. You seeing an influx of
01:05:47.900
migrants all over the country that frankly have people outraged. And couldn't there be some kind
01:05:54.400
of public pressure put in the next couple of days in some of these senators States saying, why are you
01:06:00.600
allowing this to continue? I mean, we're looking every day at the invasion of migrants and they're
01:06:07.720
playing a time game with politics on this. Couldn't that pressure put the bear in their
01:06:12.460
home States? Wow. That's, uh, well, that's Al Sharpton. What happened? Uh, invasion of the body
01:06:18.300
snatchers kids. It's real. Uh, that's Al Sharpton because he knows this is, uh, going to be a very
01:06:24.440
big issue for African Americans because they're the ones that are hurt the most. Quite honestly,
01:06:29.960
look at what is happening in New York city. Did you see the woman who had a, an illegal immigrant
01:06:36.420
on the back of a moped, grab her purse, and then drag her down the streets of New York?
01:06:43.660
I mean, this is, this is out of control. We have become a third world country and even Al
01:06:50.360
Sharpton knows it. Well, one person that doesn't know it is a huge disappointment.
01:06:58.360
Crenshaw. Here's Dan Crenshaw. Listen to him. Cut one.
01:07:02.120
The height of stupidity is having a strong opinion on something you know nothing about. I'm extremely
01:07:05.960
disappointed in the very strange maneuvering by many on the right to, to, to torpedo, uh,
01:07:12.680
potential border reform bill. If we have a bill that on net significantly decreases illegal immigration,
01:07:19.260
we sabotage that. That is as inconsistent with what we told our voters. We would do people will
01:07:24.820
make up whatever reasons they, they want to. There's a number of them, I'm sure, but it would
01:07:29.700
be pretty unacceptable dereliction of, of your duty. Dereliction of duty, uh, standing for the
01:07:35.940
constitution is now dereliction of duty. Dan Crenshaw is somebody who had a very promising,
01:07:42.320
uh, future and has, uh, time and time again, I think sold the conservatives out, uh, and
01:07:49.520
sold, uh, sold America, uh, and, and quite honestly, all of his credibility. I mean, he's
01:07:55.620
a guy who has professed to me personally that, oh, this, you know, world economic forum thing,
01:08:01.560
that's nothing. I, this is just a nothing but crazy talk. You really kind of like misinformation
01:08:06.600
about what's in the bill, Dan. Uh, and don't tell me that I don't know what's in the bill.
01:08:12.020
Really? I'm making things up now. Gosh, you sound like a member of the squad. Uh, now let me go,
01:08:19.940
uh, let me go here. How do we, how do we possibly fight disinformation? Well, they're not fighting
01:08:28.620
disinformation. They are the cause of the disinformation. They are the printing press
01:08:34.880
of all of the disinformation. Anything that disagrees with this administration or the,
01:08:40.620
the, uh, globalist plan of really capping you at the kneecaps, um, is, is going to be stopped.
01:08:50.980
They're going to stop it. I'm going to show you next hour how they are working to stop it. If,
01:08:54.920
if you don't think that we are headed towards a fascistic or already in a fascistic society,
01:09:01.380
you're fooling yourself, you're fooling yourself. And I would love to hear somebody come and make a
01:09:07.000
case after what I'm going to show you next hour, make a case that that's not what's happening.
01:09:11.300
I would love to believe that that is not the direction that we're all headed in, but you know,
01:09:17.960
you tell me because everything is a fake. Remember they said the great reset and build back better
01:09:25.480
was a fake. They said this was all nothing but a miss and disinformation. What made me say few years
01:09:35.520
ago, 2020? Uh, I don't think so because the slogan build back better actually came from the world
01:09:45.240
economic forum. It is their plan to reset the world and capitalism. And I didn't say it first.
01:10:02.760
Do we have a very pertinent question to ask? How do we build back better to build back better or
01:10:08.940
whatever? We have a chance to reset the clock and build back better than before. To build back better than
01:10:15.740
before. Remember the terrible damage of COVID as we try to build back from this global pandemic. Joe Biden
01:10:23.580
calls it build back better. Build back better. Building back better. To do things differently. To build back
01:10:32.700
better. We're going to build it back better. And build it back better. To my plan to build back better.
01:10:42.540
Uh, start taking all the problems that have been created in education, mental health, and start to,
01:10:48.380
to build back in a positive way. I have launched a booklet called build back better Britain after coronavirus.
01:10:57.260
It's about building this country back better. Growing conspiracy following it. It is called the
01:11:06.460
great reset. Unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reset the ways in which we live. The great
01:11:15.020
opportunity for reset. The theory even calls Mr. Biden's campaign slogan, build back better,
01:11:22.300
a front for the conspiracy. Build back better. Building back better our economy. Build back better.
01:11:33.020
All elements of the great reset are fundamental to building the future we need. This pandemic has
01:11:39.340
provided an opportunity for a reset. Huh. It's a big effort to, some would say to build back better. We would say
01:11:50.860
to really have a great reset. Uh huh. Uh huh. But all of that just was spontaneous all over the world.
01:11:58.460
Everybody was talking about it. Just crazy, crazy. We're the conspiracy theorists. So when you look at
01:12:03.660
what's happening on the border bill, you can believe the people who have been lying to you the whole time,
01:12:10.620
every time over and over and over again. Or maybe you can make a difference this time and say,
01:12:16.860
hey, this doesn't sound right to me. I don't think I believe you anymore. Here's another thing. I'm
01:12:24.460
going to show you next hour how you're being targeted. And I mean, literally targeted how they
01:12:32.220
are taking and dismantling any, any conservative attorney, any kind of representation you might need.
01:12:41.500
They are canceling them and crippling them because you will not stand against the state.
01:12:49.100
And one of the people that is really, um, I think quite is it's, it's quite remarkable,
01:12:58.380
quite remarkable what they're doing to Elon Musk. Elon Musk is one of those that will not stand.
01:13:06.700
They are using the same kind of tactics, um, uh, against Elon Musk that they've been using against
01:13:12.860
Donald Trump. And again, if they'll do it to the most powerful guy in America and the richest man in
01:13:19.900
the world, why do you think they wouldn't do it to you? Here's, here's, uh, the latest,
01:13:27.020
this is on CNBC, Jim Cramer and David Faber. They're talking about the attacks on, uh, Elon Musk
01:13:33.420
lately just to paint him as an addict. Listen to this. Cut three. Elon Musk off the board.
01:13:41.180
We're going to talk about that in a little bit. I think. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's again,
01:13:44.460
Musk, the long lives are out for Musk. I haven't seen a long time.
01:13:47.500
It's true. Does it doesn't use it? Was that the plainest information?
01:13:50.780
There are some people somewhere who decided they can start to turn on him in some fashion. It's
01:13:56.700
true. And how do you feel about that? How do I feel personally about it? Nevermind. I don't care how
01:14:03.180
you feel personally because you'll never give it to me anyway. No, I'm not going to share my
01:14:06.540
personal. I'll share my personal. I think that that piece makes it sound like it's very hard
01:14:11.580
for the SEC not to come back and look at whether he's an independent board, which it was never.
01:14:17.740
Who thought this was independent? There's just a web of wealth. But more importantly,
01:14:22.300
I think they're going to say, well, wait a second. Is this man impaired?
01:14:31.020
I don't think he is at all. The journalists, obviously, they are committed to this story.
01:14:35.180
Right. Okay. Coming back to the same story, they keep finding more evidence from two years ago,
01:14:40.620
this one or three years ago, that one, you know. Well, okay. Okay. If it were written about
01:14:46.060
any other CEO, we'd everybody be talking about it. Thank you. Suppose if it was written about a
01:14:51.500
tool and dye company. Yes. You think so? Yeah. First of all, we wouldn't know and we wouldn't
01:14:57.100
care. I don't know. I know and I don't care. He's the greatest industrialist of our time.
01:15:03.340
He's the greatest single business person of our time. If he had a substance problem,
01:15:07.980
which I don't think he had. Well, that's the question. Does he have one or not?
01:15:10.780
Well, he passed all the tests. He's not a drug addict.
01:15:13.900
He passed all the tests for the NASA contract. Why should we think that he's a drug addict?
01:15:18.460
Well, I don't think we should. And I don't think he most likely is not. I think it's two separate
01:15:24.540
stories, although they are related by this idea that some of the board members party with him,
01:15:30.060
so to speak. But it's the interrelationships within the board and whether that is, in fact,
01:15:34.540
a form of governance that is probably not a good one for shareholders. It goes back to the
01:15:40.220
McCormick's ruling, throwing out his pay package in Delaware a couple of weeks ago.
01:15:44.620
I think that that is integral to what happened. But you raised an interesting point, which is,
01:15:48.860
who has he ticked off at this point who wasn't willing to turn on him in the past and now is?
01:15:53.980
Thank you. Because that's really what's going on here.
01:15:55.580
That's it. It was a Lynda Johnson-Rice who left the board in 2019.
01:15:59.580
Do you hear that? This is a conversation about, as they said, the greatest American industrialist of our
01:16:08.940
time. He is. He is Tesla. And I don't mean the car company. I mean Nikolai Tesla. He's the Edison of our
01:16:21.100
time. Who has he ticked off? I'll tell you who he's ticked off. The federal government. That's who
01:16:27.500
he's ticked off. The federal government is trying to destroy this man. A guy who they all loved.
01:16:34.860
They all loved. Because he's done more for the planet than any other person. Why, why are the,
01:16:43.500
you know, the eco people not standing up and saying, hey, protect Elon? Because it's not real.
01:16:51.900
It's all about power. It's not about actually, the guy has done more to save the planet than anybody
01:16:57.940
else. And you're trying to destroy him? And by the way, when did this really start to happen?
01:17:04.860
Oh, right after he freed speech. Wake up America. You think you're not in a totalitarian state?
01:17:15.660
You think we're not already this close to losing your rights, your property, your voice? Of course
01:17:23.820
we are. Of course we are. And you know what? You put the wrong Republicans in, you'll get the
01:17:30.060
same thing. Because this is a progressive movement. And progress only goes to a certain
01:17:38.520
place. And then you have the ugly revolution. You know, progressivism was, in the early days,
01:17:50.640
just pretty much communism. But they didn't know communism wasn't neat back then. They thought
01:17:55.880
it was great. So they just wanted to progress us slowly so we wouldn't have the bloody revolution.
01:18:00.920
But at the end, you do lose people. You do have starvation and everything else. Because
01:18:06.200
progressivism doesn't work. It works like communism, which means it doesn't work. And you get to a place
01:18:13.640
where you got to start shutting people up. Remember, I told you years ago, it's, uh, suggest,
01:18:23.480
shove, shoot. That's where we are. That's where we are. That's how this is always going to end.
01:18:31.880
And if we don't wake up, all of us, and peacefully stand together and go, enough is enough. Enough is
01:18:38.400
enough. We're not going here. And I'll give you the evidence of that coming up in just a minute.
01:18:43.540
Stand by. First, our sponsor, uh, this half hour is Relief Factor. Pamela wrote in about her
01:18:51.500
experience with Relief Factor. She said, I spent a lot of years trying to fix the pain I was in
01:18:55.300
by going to pain clinics. They barely helped at all. And I ended up taking stuff that wasn't worth it in
01:19:00.540
the long run. Then I found out about Relief Factor, and it's made a tremendous difference in my life.
01:19:06.000
Goodbye, pain. Pam, thank you so much for writing in and trying Relief Factor. I'm glad it helped you
01:19:11.400

Look, over a million people have tried it. I've tried it. It worked. Now, 70% of the people,
01:19:27.460
it doesn't work. Sorry, 30%, it doesn't work. 70% of them have gone on to order it again and again.
01:19:33.780
So, see if you're part of that 70. Isn't it worth just trying just to see if you can get out of pain?

them and get a pretty good idea of where the country is moving and, and, and why. Um, and
01:21:06.860
today is a, a rather disturbing one, um, because it really shows how fascistic, how close we are
01:21:15.060
to fascism in America. And, uh, it, it's amazing. I said this, oh, probably 2008 or nine. I noticed
01:21:26.800
a pattern. Whatever they said we were doing, they were doing. You ever notice that? Um, and I've been
01:21:34.880
watching it over the years and, uh, it still holds true. It still holds true. And I, I want to start
01:21:42.060
with, um, how many times they've accused us of doing something during or right, uh, right before
01:21:51.320
they did it. I'll explain coming up in just a minute and then give you some, uh, some eye
01:21:58.140
