In this episode of the Glenn Beck Program, Glenn talks about the South Carolina House Freedom Caucus and why they don't have a loyalty oath. He also talks about Bilt Bar, a protein bar that's good for you!
00:05:18.620And unlike other caucuses in the House, members of the South Carolina House Republican Caucus have never been asked to give up their voting card to any specific caucus.
00:05:46.500There is a loyalty oath and that loyalty oath is this.
00:05:51.140You are not allowed to discuss any of the proceedings at all or publish anything that's going on that might bode well for your other caucus or bode ill for your other caucus members.
00:06:07.460Well, this should be a very transparent situation.
00:06:11.920When we have debates on the floor and you have votes and you have a voting board, you should be able to see it.
00:08:32.180So they said that they don't have any kind of secrecy pledge or loyalty pledge is what actually they said.
00:08:38.980So let me, unfortunately for them, let me give rule 15 of the pledge that was supposed to be signed by all of the GOP South Carolina caucus.
00:08:55.140And you tell me, is this a pledge that you can't say things and let people know and campaign against a caucus member?
00:09:04.100In order to encourage and foster candid, open and frank communications and discourse between and among members, all discussions and communications between and among members during any caucus meeting or event shall be strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or divulged to third parties in any way or method whatsoever.
00:09:27.880OK, they're saying if we are going to have a private meeting, it's got to be made private.
00:09:34.420OK, I can kind of see that in furtherance of this strict confidentiality rule.
00:09:40.060Each member shall be required to acknowledge and certify his or her receipt, review and agreement to adhere, abide by and comply with a caucus rule specifically, including strict confidentiality.
00:09:53.140Well, here's my problem with this. My problem is if you've got a bunch of people in there and they're saying one thing behind closed doors and then they're saying another thing.
00:10:04.100I want to know. I agree that there is a standard of we have to be able to debate and talk and debate freely with each other in a caucus and say, look, I think this strategy is right or wrong.
00:10:18.800I think this law should go here or there. And you in an in a way that you can actually make progress, you have to be able to say and think sometimes stupid things or unpopular things.
00:10:32.760So, I mean, remember, our Constitution was was written in secret because everybody was against it.
00:10:39.200OK, that's no longer anything that should ever happen.
00:10:43.460However, when you're debating in a caucus, I'm fine with that.
00:10:48.180With this caveat, if something is being said there that is dangerous to the republic, dangerous to the state or the opposite of what that caucus or caucus member is is relating to his constituents, you absolutely blow the whistle on them.
00:11:09.860Then the next one, 16 members shall treat all caucus members in a respectful manner with proper decorum at caucus meetings and events.
00:11:17.860Fine. No member of the caucus shall engage in campaign activities of any kind on against any other caucus member in good standing.
00:11:28.180That's what they were talking. That's what they were talking about.
00:11:31.180Now, the GOP South Carolina House caucus has just come out with their with their tweets and they said, no, that's not true.
00:11:41.620That's not what that says. But that is exactly what it says.
00:11:46.400Exactly what it says. Should I should I read it again?
00:11:50.980Again, members shall treat all caucus members in a respectful manner, proper decorum at a caucus meeting and event.
00:11:56.840Fine. No member of the caucus shall engage in campaign activities of any kind against any other caucus member in good standing.
00:12:09.440So if this member who is wildly progressive.
00:12:13.300And you're a Freedom Caucus member and, you know, that guy is a real obstacle to make sure we're living by the Constitution, you can't say or campaign against them in any way.
00:12:28.300Any way. Now, they're saying the South Carolina House caucus, they're saying, well, no, we we meant, you know, you can't make money on it.
00:12:37.100You can't. That's not what that says. That's not what it says.
00:12:42.400So now South Carolina House caucus proved me wrong.
00:12:46.580I'm more than willing to have you on to defend yourself.
00:13:56.440That paragraph that says we hold these things to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.
00:14:06.640And among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
00:14:10.460And governments are instituted among men to protect those rights.
00:14:17.380And when a government becomes hostile to those rights, it is the right and the duty to throw off those chains and find new guardians for those rights who are more likely to protect those rights.
00:14:36.160OK, so the whole thing is we believe God gave rights to man, all men, all men and government is only to stand guard for those rights.
00:14:49.160And the minute they go awry, we got to get them out of there.
00:16:30.020God, if you think there is any other place where Jewish, Muslim, Christian, even Scientology could happen the way it does in America, the way it has, you're mistaken.
00:16:58.240So if you really think that God's revealed rights, if you really think you cannot stand for that, you can reject those things and still be in good fellowship of, I'll speak for my faith, my faith, and I think all faiths, if you think you can reject those things and still be a member in good standing, you're mistaken.
00:17:25.960If you're mistaken, you're mistaken, or should be.
00:17:29.940So when we look at, when I look at, I'll just say it for me, South Carolina Freedom Caucus, keep standing.
00:17:37.200If you are playing games, if you're not on the righteous side, I won't stand with you either.
00:17:46.180And I won't stand with anyone who is trying, who takes those documents less seriously than understanding who their author is.
00:17:58.920I, for one, am sick and tired of this being like the flag.
00:18:44.000Show me through your actions that you know what time it is and you know what those words mean and how everything else falls apart unless those words are your compass.
00:19:01.840We all find the right place to take our stand.
00:19:04.580We can, you know, we can just wander together alone in the wilderness and they will pick us off one by one.
00:19:31.120And he put them together and he said, look, when you all stand together, you can't break the arrows.
00:19:36.320And he put a whole handful of arrows together.
00:19:38.380This is why we have to stand together.
00:19:42.780Now, we can have arguments among ourselves in the GOP, but we have to know what we stand for and then stand together with those who actually believe that.
00:19:53.280And there's lots of us, millions of us.
00:19:58.260They're one of our arrows in that stack.
00:20:00.540They take your hard-earned money that you are paying, give you the best price on mobile service, and then they actually take some of their profits and they get involved in your community.
00:20:12.100And they stand up against CRT and this ridiculous gender studies and all of these things.
00:28:31.280Is Pfizer crossing a pretty big line in saying, well, you know, maybe we should mutate it.
00:28:39.100Now, if you're also a responsible human being and you knew how much trust you had lost and you're a director of Pfizer, you're not out on a date lying about mutating viruses.
00:28:58.620That shows you have absolutely no idea how your company is being perceived real or not.
00:29:07.560And you are just playing into everything that people are already starting to say about you.
00:29:18.760I mean, he should definitely be fired, even if his answer is completely true.
00:29:23.660I mean, certainly this is going to surprise many women in the audience, but occasionally men do lie on dates when they're trying to sleep with the person that they're sitting across from.
00:29:33.760So, it's not entirely, I mean, what this is valuable for, I think, is it gives us a thread to pull at, right?
00:29:42.140And this gives us a direction with, by the way, I will point out a Republican House that has investigatory power, which is important, right?
00:29:54.900So, this is a way you can, something you can look for here.
00:30:10.580And one thing I will say about this is.
00:30:12.580You're getting so hot with the monkey talk.
00:30:14.340With Project Veritas, they, as far as I know, always eventually release the entire thing.
00:30:20.940And I think there's a possibility here that if, in another part of the video, he's sounding super skeptical or giving some indication, that would lead you to believe maybe his excuse is a little bit more valid.
00:30:34.820Like, he's trying to show that side of it.
00:30:39.320Could somebody please note, please make note how this show always gives the benefit of the doubt to everybody.
00:43:16.800Amazing news, you're just a tiny bit, just if you're a tiny bit tired and you're not getting good sleep, you're a mouse click away from the best night's sleep ever.
00:43:30.180I've talked about MyPillow for years now, the amazing MyPillow I sleep on every night, and also the Dream Sheets.
00:44:27.320All right, let me start with the Pfizer story, all right?
00:44:31.660If you don't know what the Pfizer story is, we have a guy who appears to be the director of research for Pfizer.
00:44:40.600Kind of a high-ranking guy on a date with another guy who was an undercover reporter for Project Veritas, and he just starts spilling his guts about all the things that they're doing in Pfizer.
00:44:54.760And he said, you know, don't tell anyone.
00:44:59.540But the way we do it, this experiment, the way it would work is we would put the virus in monkeys, and then we successively cause them to keep infecting each other.
00:45:11.020And then we collect serial samples from them, and then we come up with the vaccine.
00:45:52.340He said, you know, we have to be very controlled to make sure that this virus, which could mutate, doesn't create something that just goes everywhere.
00:45:58.680I know, I've read The Stand by Stephen King.
00:46:02.680You're not supposed to do gain-of-function research with viruses regularly, but we can do these kinds of things, the structure mutations, that make them more potent.
00:46:12.920Then he says that there is a relationship between Pfizer and the government regulators as a revolving door.
00:46:20.540He said that's pretty good for the industry, not necessarily so great for the average American.
00:46:26.160Because if the regulators who review our drugs, you know that once they stop being a regulator, they want to go to work for our company or another company, they're not going to be as harsh on the company where they were getting their job.
00:47:40.020And he came out innocently enough on television, and he said, you know, we just got a new study in, and it shows the gas stoves are dangerous.
00:47:48.100And so we're looking right now for public comment on whether or not we should regulate gas stoves because it looks like we should get rid of them.
00:47:57.260That's the most charitable way I can describe what he said.
00:48:02.700I have my own theories on what he actually said and what he actually meant, but let's just leave it at the charitable.
00:48:08.580Then the press went nuts because people started standing up and going, nobody's coming for my gas stove, and so they made it into a conspiracy theory.
00:49:36.060It was something that would come in a couple of years maybe.
00:49:39.500Oh, well, that doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory at all.
00:49:44.540Now, they based all of that on scientific research done with climate warming money to give the government an answer on natural gas.
00:50:02.040Okay, so this is all climate warming money, and I believe the study included government money, but we know for sure this is a climate extremist study.
00:50:20.620Okay, let me give you one more story, and then I'm going to tie them all together.
00:50:25.500Biden administration and big tech adapts military-grade AI to silence Americans worried about vaccine side effects.
00:50:38.220We have military-grade AI, that is, we use in foreign countries where we're fighting to be able to gather intelligence and gather intelligence and see who's starting things, who's dangerous, who's not, what's misinformation, what's not, how can we manipulate that?
00:51:02.540Well, the Biden administration, through the National Science Foundation, that's really important to remember, the National Science Foundation poured millions of taxpayer dollars into the form of grants to universities and private firms so they could develop censorship tools.
00:51:25.160Then they took those censorship tools and turned them against citizens in the United States.
00:52:53.380People who haven't suffered from frequent or agonizing pain in their lives, they really don't understand what it is like when you get up every morning.
00:52:59.960You're like, I can't I can't do it another day.
00:53:23.020And when you try everything and you've gone to all the great doctors and they can not give you any relief that doesn't zone you out, you dismiss things like relief factor.
00:54:58.820These words were spoken throughout America's adventure in free government.
00:55:03.340Our basic purposes have been to keep the peace, to foster progress in human achievement, to enhance liberty, dignity, integrity among people and among other nations.
00:55:13.700To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people.
00:55:18.980Any failure traceable to arrogance or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home and abroad.
00:55:30.960Got that unworthy of a free and religious people and any failure that you can trace back to arrogance, your lack of comprehension or being ready to sacrifice.
00:55:46.820Crisis will continue to be in meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small.
00:55:56.600There is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current problems.
00:56:05.820A huge increase in newer elements of our defense, development of an unrealistic program to cure every ill in agriculture, a dramatic expansion in basic and applied research.
00:56:19.820These and many other possibilities, each possibility promising inside itself may suggest and may be suggested as the only way for the road in which we are to travel.
00:56:37.640Because of global warming, only the ESG ideas are acceptable.
00:56:45.800We are taking farms away from farmers all over the world.
00:56:52.500We are telling them they can no longer use fertilizer, which has fed the world and stopped starvation.
00:56:59.860You can no longer, and it's not all of us, it's the elites, and it's based on follow the science.
00:57:10.680But each proposal has to be weighed in the light of broader considerations.
00:57:16.260The need to maintain balance in and among national programs, balance between private and the public economy, balance between cost and hope for advantage, balance between clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable.
00:57:36.640Balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the individual, balance between action of the moment and the national welfare of the future.
00:57:48.080Good judgment always seeks balance and progress.
00:57:53.400Lack of it eventually finds imbalance and grave frustration.
00:57:59.820So if we don't balance, let's see, the needs of the many with the needs of the one, we're going to have an imbalance and it's going to be bad.
00:58:11.180When we concentrate only on the individual, things can get bad.
00:58:18.960But we know for sure if we balance, we lose all balance and we focus only on the good of the collective, history has shown us it always turns into a nightmare.
00:58:31.460So we have to find that balance between the two and lean towards the individual, but not forget the collective.
00:58:39.580He says, now, a vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment.
00:58:47.380Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction, peace through strength.
00:58:56.640Our military organization today bears little relation to that known of any of my predecessors in peacetime or indeed the fighting men and women of World War II or Korea.
01:00:34.900This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experiment.
01:00:45.820The total influence, economic, political, and even spiritual, will be felt in every city, state house, every office of the federal government.
01:00:58.100And we recognize the imperative need for this development.
01:01:02.900Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications.
01:01:09.420Our toil, our resources, our livelihood, our spirits are all involved.
01:01:17.420And so is the very structure of our society.
01:01:50.060In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
01:02:04.180The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
01:32:49.340I don't know if I, you know, believe the Rihanna thing, but maybe.
01:32:53.340I mean, he did say it was to torture people to show that they spent their whole life focused on something other than good and evil and God.
01:33:08.640They were focused and said on umbrellas.
01:34:49.620May I just point out that I'm a little uncomfortable, and call me old-fashioned, but I'm a little uncomfortable with somebody who's a judge who doesn't know the Constitution.
01:35:02.960However, you shouldn't be, because the Constitution is no longer taught in lawyer school.
01:36:10.500On how important it is and how we should start viewing our battle.
01:36:17.280It was kind of a spinoff on something that I comments that I had to make to the South Carolina GOP in the House that seemed to be spreading misinformation.
01:36:30.240But I'm open to hearing their side of it.
01:43:03.880If you're like everybody else, you probably like to just get into your car always and not have to worry about starting the engine and it not starting or having something go wrong with it while you're on the road.
01:43:21.420Unfortunately, your car may have other plans in mind, and when that happens, especially after your warranty is expired, you're going to be on the hook for thousands of dollars.
01:43:32.040CarShield offers affordable plans to fit every budget, and you're going to want to have them design an affordable plan for you and with you, because costly repairs are coming.
01:43:49.260If you don't have a warranty, they're coming, and they have saved me a buttload of money, and they can do the same for you.
01:43:55.020I want you to call CarShield. Save 20% on your plan.
01:43:58.320You'll always be prepared for the unexpected.
01:44:01.280You'll be able to keep your budget in line without these big surprises that cripple us.
01:46:56.360It's not about Zelensky or anything like that.
01:47:00.320It's about getting Putin out of there.
01:47:03.940So I'm glad you brought this up, because one of the biggest stories of the week is the tank exchange, which I think is one of the worst things that we could do.
01:47:25.420I wouldn't give them fighter jets, because then they could possibly use them to bomb Russian territory, which then would change the Russian people's perception of Putin.
01:47:54.280I know, but giving them offensive weapons, do we happen to have the cut from what I think it was yesterday that we played the flashback of Biden saying just less than a year ago that this would mean World War III?
01:48:09.800The idea, the idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews, just understand, and don't kid yourself,
01:48:22.540no matter what you all say, no matter what you all say, that's called World War III.
01:49:00.880They don't have the supply lines, Beck.
01:49:02.040This, I know, that's one of the big...
01:49:03.740They don't have the supply lines to do it.
01:49:05.420So they'll stack the tanks up along with the lepers from Germany and the old Polish tanks that they're going to bring in to defend territory that they don't want to lose.
01:49:18.020They're not going to roll into Stalingrad, and this is the anniversary, by the way, of Stalingrad.
01:49:24.240Do you think that they will roll into Crimea?
01:49:27.980No, I don't think so, because, again, what Zelensky's trying to do is just wear down Putin and the Russians so that they withdraw.
01:49:39.120The only thing propping Russia up there now is the Wagner Group.
