Transcript

00:00:00.000 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:00:02.080 I've been visualizing my match all week.
00:00:04.640 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column
00:00:07.680 behind her car on her backhand side.
00:00:10.960 Good thing Claudia is with Intact, the insurer with the largest network
00:00:14.320 of auto service centers in the country.
00:00:16.320 Everything was taken care of under one roof,
00:00:18.320 and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:00:20.720 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:00:24.240 But you got there on time.
00:00:26.000 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.
00:00:28.640 Certain conditions apply.
00:00:30.080 Let me tell you about good ranchers.
00:00:31.920 I wish the meat that we import from overseas could be trusted.
00:00:35.520 Life would be a lot simpler if that were the case.
00:00:37.520 But, you know, why trust it?
00:00:41.680 Why trust it, honestly?
00:00:43.360 Why do we have to have imported meat?
00:00:46.880 Do we not have enough ranchers here?
00:00:50.160 Yes, we do.
00:00:51.200 And in fact, by the end of today's broadcast,
00:00:54.080 another rancher will lose his ranch or his farm.
00:00:57.840 This is why I order from good ranchers.
00:00:59.920 Everything they sell is 100% American meat.
00:01:02.720 It's all raised here, processed here, shipped straight to your door.
00:01:06.480 Beef, chicken, seafood, all of it is high quality, flash frozen, and ready to go.
00:01:11.280 And on top of that, because it's all American meat, you don't have to worry about tariffs.
00:01:15.920 So lock in your rate.
00:01:17.120 You know what you're getting.
00:01:18.160 No surprises, no mystery meat grab bag.
00:01:20.640 And at good ranchers, you get your box today.
00:01:22.720 You get your pick of free meat for life.
00:01:25.120 Free Wagyu, burgers, hot dogs, bacon, chicken wings.

00:01:44.880 Hello, America.
00:01:45.680 You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:47.760 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're
00:01:53.120 trying to feed you.
00:01:53.840 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:58.880 But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:02:01.200 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:02:05.040 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big
00:02:10.080 tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:02:13.920 This isn't a podcast.
00:02:15.360 This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:02:18.720 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast
00:02:23.040 to the top.
00:02:23.840 Rate, review, share.
00:02:25.440 Together, we'll make a difference.
00:02:27.520 And thanks for standing with us.
00:02:28.880 Now let's get to work.
00:02:43.920 Now let's get to work.
00:03:04.320 Down the road where shadows hide
00:03:08.780 Feel the dark on every side
00:03:11.380 Stand your ground when times get dark
00:03:14.020 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire
00:03:16.860 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:03:22.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:27.460 Here's what I want you to do.
00:03:28.720 I want to choose to go find some duct tape.
00:03:31.100 I want you to wrap your head.
00:03:32.940 Wrap it hard.
00:03:33.520 Wrap it very, very tight
00:03:35.000 because your head's going to explode today
00:03:36.840 because of the insanity of the news.
00:03:41.200 So I don't want you to...
00:03:42.780 I mean, it's not going to stop your head from exploding,
00:03:44.740 but at least you'll be able to have all of the pieces
00:03:47.240 so when you go into the hospital,
00:03:49.060 they can cut the duct tape off
00:03:50.380 and all of the pieces of your head
00:03:51.780 will be stuck on the other side of the duct tape.
00:03:54.200 And they'll be like,
00:03:54.900 geez, another one?
00:03:55.860 Yeah, listening to the Glenn Beck Program
00:03:57.360 just telling you the news of the day.
00:03:59.200 Jeez, it's like a...
00:04:00.620 It's a pandemic here
00:04:01.980 with exploded heads.
00:04:04.400 Yes, it really is.
00:04:05.720 There's a lot of news
00:04:06.640 that will make your head explode.
00:04:07.860 We begin there in 60 seconds.
00:04:09.840 Stand by.
00:04:10.460 First, Rough Greens.
00:04:12.280 Some dogs age gracefully,
00:04:13.940 and others, well, they...
00:04:15.460 Well, they age like Joe Biden, honestly.
00:04:18.160 Have you ever looked at your dog and thought,
00:04:19.700 why isn't she as energetic as she used to be?
00:04:22.880 Age might not actually be the problem.
00:04:24.720 It just might be what's missing from her food.
00:04:27.980 And Rough Greens can come in and fix that.
00:04:31.160 It's not a dog food.
00:04:32.200 It's a supplement you sprinkle onto the existing food,
00:04:34.960 packed with vitamins, probiotics,
00:04:36.840 digestive enzymes, nutrients
00:04:38.420 that most kibble just doesn't have.
00:04:40.640 And the difference?
00:04:41.640 Pretty incredible.
00:04:42.500 People report their dogs have more energy,
00:04:44.220 better digestion, shinier coats,
00:04:46.260 and they just seem happier,
00:04:47.360 like their old selves again.
00:04:48.960 I can tell you from personal experience
00:04:50.860 with my dog Uno,
00:04:51.640 that's exactly what happened.
00:04:54.100 Call them now.

00:05:08.220 Rough Greens.
00:05:08.820 A healthy change for your changing dog.
00:05:12.360 Okay.
00:05:16.640 Yesterday we told you that the Epstein videotape was out.
00:05:20.920 Okay.
00:05:21.640 And you could see that, you know,
00:05:24.300 they had put a video on the door.
00:05:27.720 And I'm, okay, good.
00:05:30.400 I accept that.
00:05:35.980 Today we find out that they edited the videotape
00:05:39.520 and didn't tell anybody.
00:05:41.280 They just found out because there was a timestamp jump
00:05:45.040 of about a minute, just over a minute.
00:05:48.200 Now, I don't think that somebody was waiting right off the camera,
00:05:53.260 came in, and in a minute, opened the door, went in, killed him,
00:05:58.820 rushed out, closed the door, locked it back up,
00:06:01.320 and was out of the camera.
00:06:03.180 Did it in a minute.
00:06:04.120 Whew, I had that minute.
00:06:05.340 I don't believe that.
00:06:07.860 But why on God's green earth would you edit a videotape
00:06:12.840 where you're trying to prove to everybody
00:06:15.020 that it's all on the up and up?
00:06:17.820 Why would you do that?
00:06:18.880 Now, yesterday, I didn't call for anybody's firing,
00:06:23.720 but I think Pam Bondi needs to be fired.
00:06:26.660 Now, because she's covering anything up,
00:06:28.520 I frankly don't know if anyone is covering anything up.
00:06:32.140 What I do know is this is the worst rollout of information
00:06:35.940 I have ever seen in my life.
00:06:38.900 You roll out an edited tape.
00:06:43.520 All you had to do is say,
00:06:45.060 by the way, there is one minute that is missing from the tape.
00:06:48.840 It was a jump at the very last.
00:06:50.240 You don't let people find that out
00:06:52.560 by going and looking at the time stamp the whole time.
00:06:55.620 What is wrong with you people?
00:06:58.100 Honestly, what is wrong with you people?
00:07:01.480 Now, I want to start with just a quick definition check here.
00:07:06.840 There is a difference between a theory and a conclusion.
00:07:12.000 A theory is something that we have
00:07:14.460 when we're trying to fill in the blanks.
00:07:16.400 We don't have all the facts.
00:07:17.860 A conclusion is what we reach
00:07:20.320 when the facts are sitting right in front of us.
00:07:24.320 A conclusion requires some courage.
00:07:28.740 Now, last night I was going through some of this stuff
00:07:32.300 and I did a tweet thread on the evidence.
00:07:34.840 Just the evidence collected, okay?
00:07:38.840 And you look at the evidence list,
00:07:41.080 not the headlines, not the spin.
00:07:43.480 Look at the list of stuff that was collected.
00:07:49.740 And it just doesn't read like a man
00:07:52.960 who was living a double life.
00:07:54.320 You know what I mean?
00:07:54.800 It reads like a logistics log for an enterprise.
00:08:01.200 That's what it looks like.
00:08:02.180 A system.
00:08:03.380 Something built to last.
00:08:05.220 Something built to be controlled.
00:08:06.920 And most of all, something built to be protected.
00:08:12.680 Now, let's take this slowly
00:08:14.120 because I want to build a case here for you.
00:08:16.740 If we are to hold on to even the faintest glimmer
00:08:21.420 of hope of justice,
00:08:24.020 then we need to be able to think
00:08:26.180 and we need to be able to ask questions
00:08:28.340 that demand answers,
00:08:29.940 not comfort.
00:08:31.800 Actual answers.
00:08:33.200 So let me start with a simple one.
00:08:34.500 Does a single guy need dozens of hard drives,
00:08:41.260 multiple servers, cloud backups,
00:08:43.760 and hundreds of CDs and USB sticks,
00:08:47.720 many of them, most of them,
00:08:49.860 labeled, categorized, and stored with care?
00:08:54.660 Who needs that?
00:08:56.360 For their house.
00:08:57.500 For their house.
00:09:00.080 Now, it's not normal.
00:09:02.440 Well, it's not accidental.
00:09:05.440 It's very, very deliberate.
00:09:07.660 But what does it mean?
00:09:09.080 Well, we'd have to know what's stored on them.
00:09:12.060 Okay, well, let's look at how they're at least labeled
00:09:14.920 because we can't see what's stored on them.
00:09:18.300 But let's look at how they were labeled.
00:09:21.080 Nude girl pics.
00:09:23.180 Photo albums of girls with Epstein.
00:09:26.560 Folders marked with names.
00:09:28.920 Then they had surveillance videos,
00:09:30.520 audio tapes, handwritten notes,
00:09:32.440 even trip logs and boat schedules.
00:09:35.400 Now, think.
00:09:38.180 When you go out on the boat with somebody,
00:09:41.500 why do you log who's on the boat with you at all times
00:09:45.420 and keep a meticulous log?
00:09:47.440 I mean, it's almost done with the German efficiency
00:09:51.700 of the 1930s and 40s.
00:09:54.860 Why do you, why do you, I mean,
00:09:57.120 unless you intend on proving track or recall who was on the boat,
00:10:02.440 who was on the plane, who was in the house at all times,
00:10:05.100 and you need to know where they were and when they were there.
00:10:09.560 I mean, does that sound like a guy who was acting just himself
00:10:14.060 and was only, you know, I keep these logs because,
00:10:17.380 well, I'm diddling with little girls
00:10:20.280 and I need to know who was in the house.
00:10:24.200 Why, why, why?
00:10:26.940 So, here's the next question.
00:10:29.700 Photos of Epstein with girls.
00:10:33.240 Now, I don't know if it's just me,
00:10:36.320 but let's say I just have a whole bunch of pictures
00:10:39.420 of me with cats.
00:10:42.280 I don't label it myself.
00:10:46.280 Photos of cats with Beck.
00:10:50.580 Now, maybe somebody I work with would,
00:10:53.600 but I don't.
00:10:56.160 So,
00:10:57.920 labeling it that is a little weird,
00:11:00.080 but more importantly,
00:11:01.840 who took the photos?
00:11:03.560 Does he stretch arm strong?
00:11:08.600 Was he diddling with little girls
00:11:10.260 and then his arm could stretch way out
00:11:12.280 and take photos of the two of them having sex?
00:11:15.780 Who took the photos?
00:11:18.200 Who categorized?
00:11:19.900 Who labeled the albums?
00:11:21.840 Who maintained the backups?
00:11:23.760 Who digitized the files?
00:11:25.860 Who operated the surveillance systems?
00:11:28.860 Because all of that is listed too.
00:11:32.140 Servers, camera systems,
00:11:33.980 remote video feeds.
00:11:35.560 That doesn't happen by accident,
00:11:37.500 and certainly one guy doesn't do it.
00:11:41.000 It takes staff.
00:11:42.080 It takes technicians.
00:11:43.240 It takes somebody who knew something
00:11:46.240 and did nothing.
00:11:49.080 Here's another detail buried in the list.
00:11:52.020 A foreign passport with Epstein's photograph.
00:11:55.200 Large stashes of cash.
00:11:57.260 Massage tables.
00:11:58.340 Sex toys.
00:11:59.080 Not one.
00:11:59.620 Multiple.
00:11:59.980 Different locations.
00:12:02.060 Now, is this the profile of a disturbed individual?
00:12:06.080 Yeah, it is.
00:12:07.380 It is.
00:12:08.520 But is it only that?
00:12:10.380 Or does it sound more like a system?
00:12:14.720 Something engineered to be efficient, repeatable, and survivable.
00:12:19.580 A system of redundancy, with documentation, with contingency.
00:12:24.120 Why the backups?
00:12:25.120 Why the backups?
00:12:25.900 If I have all of these things on all of these servers,
00:12:30.140 why do I have to have backups of all of those servers?
00:12:35.300 Why the surveillance?
00:12:36.640 I mean, generally, you don't surveil yourself.
00:12:40.800 You surveil guests, associates, clients.
00:12:48.300 Now, here's an uncomfortable thought.
00:12:51.100 What if those devices hold proof of others involved?
00:12:54.680 See, the only thing that is more disturbing than, you know, what's in the evidence list
00:13:02.820 and what really hasn't happened with the evidence list,
00:13:08.060 it's been years.
00:13:10.740 No one else is indicted.
00:13:12.560 We're supposed to believe it's only those two.
00:13:15.560 That's it.
00:13:16.880 That's it.
00:13:17.620 It doesn't seem to be like there's a lack of evidence here.
00:13:23.780 It seems like there's a lack of will.
00:13:28.440 Now, I want to ask you another question.
00:13:33.760 If we found, let's say, a pastor in Omaha, Nebraska,
00:13:38.820 or a tech worker in Ohio, or a factory foreman in rural Alabama,
00:13:44.360 do you think all of this would be proceeding exactly the way it's being proceeded with Epstein?
00:13:56.420 Or do you think we would know every name, every detail,
00:13:59.600 every photo that didn't include a kid,
00:14:02.080 we would be asking and answered the questions of who took the photos?
00:14:08.760 Why did he have this surveillance?
00:14:10.460 Wouldn't we know all of it?
00:14:12.000 But with Epstein, we don't know anything.
00:14:14.360 And we're told, you know, maybe he was alone.
00:14:19.300 That's the official line now, but is that logical?
00:14:23.340 One man orchestrated decades of abuse,
00:14:27.000 maintained detailed records,
00:14:28.760 employed countless staff,
00:14:31.060 trafficked in minors,
00:14:32.760 flew dozens of people in and out of his island
00:14:35.200 where he was personally just trafficking these children for himself.
00:14:39.760 And no one knew.
00:14:41.020 No one participated.
00:14:42.460 No one enabled it.
00:14:45.020 Hmm.
00:14:46.840 Okay.
00:14:49.840 I want you to listen carefully.
00:14:52.040 Because there is a line in the sand.
00:14:56.900 And to me, this is very personal.
00:14:58.940 And I'll explain why.
00:15:00.900 But there is a line in the sand.
00:15:04.220 And it's right in front of us.
00:15:05.820 Let me go there in 60 seconds.
00:15:12.500 You know, everybody's got their own version of what preparation looks like.
00:15:16.200 Some people stockpile supplies.
00:15:17.960 Others save money, make plans, take courses.
00:15:20.560 But in Israel, preparation often looks a little bit different than all of that.
00:15:24.700 It looks like a child knowing the fastest route to a bomb shelter.
00:15:29.560 It looks like an elderly woman who sleeps in her shoes just in case she has to run.
00:15:34.380 It looks like medics who can't respond to emergencies until they've put on a bulletproof vest.
00:15:39.360 That's what life in Israel.
00:15:40.980 Oh, my gosh.
00:15:41.500 I just thought of something.
00:15:44.040 Oh, my gosh.
00:15:45.240 I forgot.
00:15:46.400 Epstein was working for the Mossad.
00:15:48.280 And that's why I don't have a problem with all of this, even though I have a huge problem with all of this and are saying it every day.
00:15:54.920 Because he's a Jew.
00:15:57.080 I got this letter.
00:15:58.780 I got this response on, I think it was on Acts yesterday.
00:16:04.960 Several of them.
00:16:06.520 You know, the reason why you don't care about this is because he's a Jew and you and your Jews.
00:16:11.420 Me and me and my Jews walking down the avenue.
00:16:21.000 Oh, my.
00:16:21.740 Work it.
00:16:23.340 Anyway, let me make sure that you understand that things are different.
00:16:28.960 And now is the time, the tri-men souls.
00:16:32.620 Now is the time when you choose to stand with God's people or not.
00:16:37.120 And that doesn't mean fighting their wars.
00:16:38.800 And that doesn't mean excusing anything.
00:16:40.520 And it certainly doesn't mean turning a blind eye.
00:16:45.500 What it does mean is that you stand against anybody who's like you and those Jews.
00:16:53.820 That's a problem.
00:16:55.220 That's a problem.
00:16:56.460 Okay?
00:16:57.900 You can support Israel now just by helping them stay safe.
00:17:04.760 888-488-IFCJ.
00:17:07.060 I will bless those who bless you.
00:17:11.280 And I will curse those who curse you.
00:17:14.960 God.
00:17:16.440 888-488-IFCJ.
00:17:18.920 888-488-IFCJ.
00:17:20.760 Or go online to ifcj.org.
00:17:23.360 Ifcj.org.
00:17:24.440 10 seconds.
00:17:24.940 Station ID.
00:17:25.400 Okay.
00:17:39.000 I don't want to speculate anymore.
00:17:41.360 The problem is speculation.
00:17:43.360 But I have to ask questions.
00:17:45.100 And I want to make it very clear.
00:17:47.000 I don't care if he was a Mossad agent.
00:17:50.200 I don't care if he was a CIA asset.
00:17:52.540 I don't care if he was just a common man that just flew too close to the sun.
00:17:57.880 I don't care if he killed himself or he was murdered or he spontaneously combusted.
00:18:04.800 None of that is the point.
00:18:07.180 At least not yet.
00:18:09.340 What does matter is the truth.
00:18:13.100 Not my truth.
00:18:13.980 Not your truth.
00:18:14.880 Not the curated, sanitized, spoon-fed-to-us-by-committees-and-cable-news truth.
00:18:22.980 The truth.
00:18:25.700 There comes a time where there is a line in the sand and you have to start saying,
00:18:30.880 I don't care what the truth is.
00:18:33.540 I just want it.
00:18:35.200 When a society loses its grip on reality and the facts, when facts become optional and the
00:18:43.480 narrative becomes the currency, trust dies.
00:18:48.640 I don't know.
00:18:49.140 I don't even think it's in the hospital.
00:18:50.460 I think trust is on the way to the coroner now in America.
00:18:53.600 Because this matters.
00:18:55.900 Because if there is no trust, there is no nation.
00:19:00.040 There is no justice.
00:19:01.400 There is no we the people.
00:19:03.260 It's all over.
00:19:04.200 It's just power and those just desperate enough to hold on to it.
00:19:12.340 And those of us who will just accept whatever is spoon-fed to us one way or another.
00:19:18.140 And I want you to understand, everything that I'm saying today is really not about Epstein.
00:19:23.280 He is just the symptom.
00:19:26.340 This is really about us.
00:19:28.840 Because if the government, if the media, if the intelligence services,
00:19:32.880 if the institutions meant to serve and protect the people are capable of either getting something like this so wrong and then not apologize for it, not show us how they could be this wrong,
00:19:47.900 or they're capable of concealing something of this scale, then silence isn't just complicity.
00:19:54.580 It is corruption.
00:19:55.580 And if we allow this to stand, we become part of it.
00:19:59.160 I refuse to be Jake Tapper.
00:20:00.820 I have been on this boat with you for a very long time, questioning this, thinking there's absolutely no way that this is what they now say it is.
00:20:12.400 Well, then I demand to know all of the evidence, and I demand to see all of the evidence, because I've been complicit in a lie that this guy was somehow involved with all of these celebrities and powerful people.
00:20:31.180 I've been complicit in that, because you convinced me of it, not you, but those in government, those now in power, convinced me of that, that it was true, and it logically made sense.
00:20:43.780 And now you're telling me to stop all the logic and just trust you.
00:20:50.260 I won't.
00:20:50.900 I won't trust you, because you were part of the people that told me to trust you last time, because you knew.
00:20:58.560 You knew.
00:21:03.060 Now, I willingly went with you, but I'm not going to be Jake Tapper, who I'm just going to observe this, be part of it, and then, when it's proven to be wrong, apparently, you just go, oh.
00:21:18.880 And then you listen to the same people who convinced you of it the last time.
00:21:23.320 How many times have we said, how can you, how can these people have lied to you?
00:21:28.180 How can you keep going back to these people and say, okay, what else do you have for me?
00:21:33.760 No.
00:21:35.500 You lied to me.
00:21:37.000 Or at least you made an honest mistake in your assessment.
00:21:42.100 But I need to hear that from you.
00:21:46.240 I mean, am I the only one who, I mean, I've said this over and over again.
00:21:53.060 I would be so pissed if I were a journalist and I had all of these sources telling me, oh, no, Joe Biden's fine.
00:22:01.440 No, but he doesn't look fine.
00:22:03.460 No, ignore your eyes.
00:22:05.300 Ignore what you think you know.
00:22:06.820 I'm there.
00:22:07.580 I see it all the time.
00:22:08.740 I've always said, how can you possibly not be pissed at those people?
00:22:15.900 Well, that's where I'm at.
00:22:17.680 That's where I'm at.
00:22:19.560 And I am not even assigning the fact that or the idea that they lied.
00:22:26.440 I think if it is true that nothing happened, then this is a cavalcade of errors in judgment.
00:22:37.240 And I want to track it all down so we don't do it again.
00:22:42.300 Every time you look away, every time you shrug off a lie too big or too dark to face, we teach ourselves to live with less, less truth, less justice, less moral clarity.
00:22:56.940 And over the last 25 years, I mean, the health, my whole life, I've been doing this now for 48 years.
00:23:05.960 48 years.
00:23:08.620 Weapons of mass destruction.
00:23:10.260 No, Nixon, I'm not a crook.
00:23:14.000 There is nothing to see with the Iran Contra.
00:23:17.520 Monica Lewinsky, all of this stuff, the Russian disinformation.
00:23:21.980 Biden's totally in command.
00:23:23.700 I've had enough.
00:23:24.600 We've played along long enough.
00:23:27.300 And it's not because we're stupid, not because we're coward, but because somewhere along the line, we stopped demanding the proof.
00:23:34.720 And we started accepting other people's words of comfort in place.
00:23:40.780 We stitched together stories that made more sense than the headlines.
00:23:44.900 We created heroes and villains, narratives to fill the void, left by the media that stopped asking hard questions.
00:23:51.420 Our side did it.
00:23:52.640 Their side did it.
00:23:53.720 And soon we find ourselves not even looking for truth.
00:23:57.840 No, no, I want proof.
00:24:00.960 This is Glenn Beck.
00:24:04.980 This is not a republic.
00:24:06.300 This has become a religion.
00:24:08.400 And that's got to stop.
00:24:09.780 All right.
00:24:10.040 Let me tell you about Simply Safe.
00:24:11.300 You ever notice that the guy in every movie that says, nothing ever happens around here is the first one to get stabbed to death.
00:24:19.240 Nothing ever happened.
00:24:19.940 Do you think that's what happened to Epstein?
00:24:24.000 He was like in prison.
00:24:25.140 He was like, nothing ever happens here.
00:24:27.960 Don't be that guy.
00:24:29.100 The person gets to be the person who has Simply Safe.

00:25:42.060 Okay, I want M. Bondi fired.
00:25:44.520 I want Pam Bondi fired.
00:25:47.300 It's escalated quickly.
00:25:48.300 Yeah, well, no, and here's why.
00:25:50.460 Here's why.
00:25:52.820 Do you release a tape that is supposed to be the evidence?
00:25:56.760 Do you release a tape and then let the public find out for themselves that there's an edit in the tape?
00:26:05.100 That's an inexcusable mistake.
00:26:07.440 I mean, I don't know that she did it, right?
00:26:09.480 No, no, no.
00:26:09.980 And you know what?
00:26:10.860 It could have been just a digital jump in the tape.
00:26:14.500 It's a minute lost.
00:26:15.780 Okay?
00:26:15.960 So, let's just say, let's just give them every benefit of the doubt and say it was just a digital jump in the tape.
00:26:23.260 Okay?
00:26:23.660 Do you not put an intern on it just to say, watch the clock and make sure there's no jumps or edit in the tape?
00:26:36.440 Because we know everyone's going to watch.
00:26:38.840 300 million people are going to be watching it and somebody's going to take the time to watch the clock.
00:26:45.300 So, watch the clock is every minute accounted for.
00:26:49.460 You didn't do that.
00:26:51.260 You didn't do that.
00:26:51.760 I think you could pretty easily say that if you wanted to, right, and your goal was you wanted to edit out a minute,
00:27:00.120 it would be very easy to edit in a minute of footage.
00:27:04.140 Correct.
00:27:04.380 And that no one would notice, just make the clock continuous, right?
00:27:07.700 It would be clear.
00:27:08.720 If you were trying to cover that, it would be easy to cover.
00:27:11.040 Yeah.
00:27:11.460 This is incompetence.
00:27:12.840 This is incompetence.
00:27:14.460 Highlighting your point to incompetence.
00:27:16.360 At the very least, if you have a jump.
00:27:18.380 You admit it.
00:27:19.300 You say at the beginning, there is an error at this point.
00:27:23.920 We know this is there.
00:27:25.960 The fact that you release it as proof without acknowledging that minute is,
00:27:31.040 I just don't understand how you can make a mistake like that when your goal here is supposedly to put everyone's mind at ease, right?
00:27:39.220 I don't know.
00:27:40.320 I don't know.
00:27:40.760 But there's more to it than that.
00:27:42.080 You know, hang on just a sec.
00:27:44.160 Let me just go back before we leave just this one.
00:27:46.720 Remember when I said yesterday, your wife finds receipts for you buying presents at Tiffany's that she never got.
00:27:54.440 That, you know, you were at a hotel that she's never been to.
00:27:57.960 You were not coming home for dinner.
00:28:00.300 You had long weekends and everything else.
00:28:02.100 It doesn't mean you were cheating.
00:28:04.180 You could be a traveling jewelry investor.
00:28:06.400 Right.
00:28:07.180 But she should demand the evidence because you don't want that hanging there on your relationship.
00:28:15.820 It will just fester.
00:28:17.380 Now, you give her the evidence, but then she finds out that, oh, well, it's the wrong receipt.
00:28:26.200 It was a receipt, you know, that you explained away, but what you used as proof was not the same receipt.
00:28:34.600 You were like, no, see, honey, this is when we went to the hotel together.
00:28:40.160 And she looks at it, and she's like, oh, okay.
00:28:42.800 And then she has it for a while, and she looks at it, and she's like, wait a minute, the date is different on this one.
00:28:48.780 This is not the same receipt.
00:28:51.180 That's a problem.
00:28:52.560 That's a problem.
00:28:53.420 And it doesn't mean that he was cheating on you.
00:28:56.100 It just means what the hell is going on?
00:28:59.560 Are you this stupid?
00:29:00.940 And it certainly would make you have legitimate questions about the situation.
00:29:03.880 It just makes you question things more.
00:29:06.640 Now, if it wasn't for the jump in the tape, and I'm going to call it, I'm not even going to call it an edit because I don't think it was an edit.
00:29:12.200 I think it was a jump in the tape.
00:29:14.620 As if the jump in the tape wasn't incompetent enough for you, listen to this one.
00:29:21.440 Jason is here with us.
00:29:22.620 Hi, Jason.
00:29:23.520 Hi, Glenn.
00:29:24.340 What a morning.
00:29:25.060 Wow.
00:29:25.920 What a morning it is.
00:29:27.900 Okay.
00:29:28.320 So, Jason, what else have you found?
00:29:32.240 Okay.
00:29:32.880 So, the more and more we looked at this tape, I started looking.
00:29:37.000 It was just weird because it looked like a janitor's closet.
00:29:40.460 So, door 46.
00:29:41.260 Can you stop with a janitor's closet?
00:29:42.360 And you were like, shut up.
00:29:43.520 This is not a janitor's closet.
00:29:45.140 I don't know what this is.
00:29:46.460 Well, I was like, I can tell you there's a woman that looks like a janitor that comes out of supposedly the person, the cell that they're saying is his cell, which they're not, by the way.
00:29:55.000 This was like people on social media were saying this was the cell.
00:29:57.900 It's coming out with a direct trash can.
00:29:59.920 So, I looked around to see if there was any confirmation on what this cell was.
00:30:05.740 And I found an OIG report from the Justice Department two years ago that shows the camera angle and the one camera that was actually working.
00:30:14.540 So, you can see the diagram, and I think we actually have it if you're watching this right now.
00:30:20.280 There's a diagram that shows where this camera is.
00:30:22.700 It shows where Epstein's cell is.
00:30:24.720 And the big thing that stands out, Glenn, is this camera doesn't even have eyes on Epstein's cell at all.
00:30:33.180 Like, not at all.
00:30:35.220 That's incredible.
00:30:35.940 There's four different wings here.
00:30:37.780 There is a service wing, and that's what we're looking at with that door 46.
00:30:41.840 That's like a service entrance or staff entrance.
00:30:45.160 Now, you can't see on the lower level Epstein's cell at all.
00:30:48.940 So, this is what makes it look even crazier for that one minute that's missing.
00:30:53.440 And I will say that, okay, let me just say it this way.
00:30:57.680 I've spent years and years and years looking at surveillance and security camera footage, as you know, in my previous job.
00:31:04.560 I've never seen an over one minute jump right at a time that would be very, very, I don't know, just convenient.
00:31:14.060 I've never seen that before in all my years looking at these things.
00:31:17.840 There's no reason.
00:31:18.840 Why do you say that minute would be convenient?
00:31:20.660 You're just saying that one minute being gone is convenient.
00:31:25.160 You're not saying that particular minute is important.
00:31:26.780 It's convenient in this entire time frame based off of this camera angle.
00:31:31.660 So, it's convenient, like, let's say 60 seconds would be great for someone walking across that lower level.
00:31:38.500 60 seconds would be perfect for if you wanted to, like, conceal the fact that someone walked across that area.
00:31:45.200 Here's why I didn't buy into this at first, okay?
00:31:51.360 60 seconds to get in and open the door and then kill him and then leave, okay?
00:31:55.200 But look at the diagram.
00:31:57.480 If you look at the diagram where the camera is, there is just maybe a foot space where the camera is not able to see where there is a door from the staff area, okay?
00:32:17.960 Are you looking at, because I think it's hard to tell from this, are we looking, is this diagram the top floor or the bottom floor?
00:32:26.240 Jason, do you have any idea?
00:32:27.520 So, it looks like Epstein, so I think Epstein's cell is on the top floor, yeah.
00:32:32.900 So, the stairs would be.
00:32:33.580 These are the upper floors, right?
00:32:35.160 Yeah.
00:32:35.280 Okay, so I'm looking, I'm looking at where the staff area is, okay?
00:32:41.020 See the yellow triangle.
00:32:42.740 Yes.
00:32:43.080 And the red box where it's his cell, okay?
00:32:46.940 So, there is one way out of the staff area and it's right below the camera.
00:32:54.600 Like, underneath the floor, essentially, of where the camera is.
00:32:58.500 Yeah, on the floor.
00:32:59.400 If the camera's up on a ceiling, is that what you're saying?
00:33:01.280 Yeah, the camera's like, yeah, the camera is, the camera is.
00:33:06.200 Is from above.
00:33:07.000 From on the ceiling.
00:33:08.120 From a second floor shooting down and you can, the evidence that they're basically proclaiming here, and this is true, you know, what Jason's saying is true, that you can't see the door of the Epstein cell.
00:33:20.780 What you can see is a common area that, in theory, you would need to cross to get to the cell.
00:33:26.320 What you're saying, Glenn, is the camera doesn't actually show 100% of the potential paths to get there, right?
00:33:34.540 It doesn't.
00:33:35.060 Like, you could come, if you cross right in front of the banister here on the bottom floor, there's no way.
00:33:40.300 There's no way you're going to see.
00:33:41.440 Right.
00:33:41.720 Okay, so wait a minute.
00:33:42.500 I just want to make sure.
00:33:43.960 We are talking about the same thing.
00:33:45.260 If you look at the videotape, it's the white room downstairs, right?
00:33:51.800 So, it's where the garbage can is, down there.
00:33:55.580 Below that.
00:33:56.080 So, Epstein's room would be below the garbage can?
00:33:59.400 No.
00:33:59.640 The Epstein's room, if you look out, the area that you can see, and I apologize for radio listeners here that aren't seeing this visual, but I want to make sure we get this right.
00:34:07.760 There's an open area where the banister is like the, and it shows the common area behind it, right?
00:34:13.200 Okay.
00:34:13.500 If you go to the right side of the common area from our view, outside of the view to the right is where the entrance to the cell is, the stairs up to the cell.
00:34:23.960 So, all you have to do, you don't have to cross the floor.
00:34:26.780 Why do you have to cross the floor?
00:34:28.280 You could stay close to that wall.
00:34:29.480 You could go through the door, you could go through the door and see, and just stay against the wall.
00:34:37.040 Yeah.
00:34:37.280 I mean, I guess maybe, and Jason, maybe you know this, maybe it's explained somewhere else in the report, but like, is it possible that they're saying all the other entrances, like, to get to that area have cameras?
00:34:49.040 And so we, they didn't see anybody walking into those areas.
00:34:51.840 If that were true, of course, you should release them.
00:34:53.520 Then why wouldn't you show the other, this is, you know, this is not proof that anybody did anything.
00:35:00.440 No.
00:35:00.900 This is proof they are apps.
00:35:03.140 Pam Bondi needs to be fired.
00:35:05.720 Who is rolling this out?
00:35:08.220 The little rascals?
00:35:12.160 Panky, look, I got some videotape.
00:35:14.860 What are you doing?
00:35:16.340 This is ridiculous.
00:35:19.220 This is such absolute incompetence.
00:35:25.880 Incompetence.
00:35:28.380 It's incredible.
00:35:29.620 The fact that, like, they would release that, because I think everyone had the same assumption.
00:35:33.200 I think even Jason, as a super duper skeptic on this, even you had the assumption that what they were saying was the green doors were the cells, or at least to the cell area.
00:35:44.100 Yes, that's what I thought.
00:35:44.780 That's what I thought.
00:35:45.420 That's what everyone, I think, thought when they saw it.
00:35:47.420 Now, to be clear, like the report, as you point out, Jason, previously had stated and shown this diagram that shows that they're talking about the common area.
00:35:56.780 So that's not like it's, but like they, A, should have been very clear about that.
00:36:00.780 What we're talking about is the common area.
00:36:02.860 They should have put that in the announcement.
00:36:04.920 Stu, we are going upstairs.
00:36:06.760 We're going upstairs today.
00:36:08.200 Okay.
00:36:08.420 Okay.
00:36:08.680 To my house.
00:36:10.040 And, you know, I have that balcony upstairs by the fireplace.
00:36:13.660 Yes.
00:36:13.800 You haven't really seen the house.
00:36:15.180 You came in.
00:36:15.740 The Stu arrived here like at midnight last night, because it's like a day's journey from anywhere.
00:36:20.220 Right.
00:36:20.420 But we're going to go upstairs, and you put a camera, okay, down into the great room.
00:36:28.260 You want to recreate the Epstein video in your house?
00:36:29.960 I do, and I want to show you, I can get to places in the room because there's a whole floor.
00:36:38.120 The balcony shows part, but it doesn't show the door.
00:36:42.700 I could wait until I've got to prove that we're going to do this live on YouTube or something, maybe on X today, as soon as we get off the air, because this is ridiculous.
00:36:54.720 It's unbelievable.
00:36:57.060 Again, it doesn't prove that he was killed.
00:37:01.420 However, it is the fact that they're releasing a video that has this many holes in it to a passing.
00:37:07.440 Again, the person you're trying to make feel better about all of this is someone very interested in the detail of it, right?
00:37:15.680 It's not someone who has a passing interest.
00:37:17.660 You're not releasing this to some person who kind of knows who Jeffrey Epstein is.
00:37:20.820 This is intentionally designed to try to push down some, what you're arguing is a conspiracy theory.
00:37:26.520 You're also, also, and you know what?
00:37:29.640 I'm not arguing anything.
00:37:32.120 I'm arguing this is incompetence.
00:37:36.920 Yes.
00:37:37.320 I'm not arguing that he killed himself or he didn't kill.
00:37:40.420 I don't know.
00:37:42.020 I don't know.
00:37:43.140 I don't know.
00:37:44.100 But this isn't helping.
00:37:45.380 You know, not only are you saying, you know, that these people have some interest in it.
00:37:50.440 Well, you know, these people are, you know, interested in the details.
00:37:53.720 No.
00:37:55.000 You're releasing it to a bunch of people who many of them have the details, but many of them are hostile to what you're saying.
00:38:05.220 So you better have a buttoned up case.
00:38:09.780 You better not have anything that they find out later.
00:38:14.420 Wait, wait a minute.
00:38:16.220 What?
00:38:16.840 Right.
00:38:17.480 And it could be, you know, you could make the couple of arguments that you probably could make here.
00:38:22.380 One, they don't actually care about this and they're annoyed they have to deal with it.
00:38:26.540 So they just threw it out there.
00:38:27.860 Terrible incompetence.
00:38:29.020 And if that's the truth, it's just inexcusable.
00:38:31.460 The other thing they might argue, and this could be part of it, part of the rollout, there were reports at least that this got leaked, that this came out essentially earlier than they wanted it to come out.
00:38:42.220 And so the rollout was not as well planned as they thought it was going to be.
00:38:46.060 Axios reported this exclusively.
00:38:48.400 Now, it's possible, right, that they leaked it to Axios, but it's not exactly a typical location of a Trump leak.
00:38:55.200 Who, the Justice Department or the FBI?
00:38:57.580 That's what I want to know.
00:38:59.060 First of all, this administration has no leaks.
00:39:02.320 We just bombed Iran without any leaks.
00:39:07.320 Yeah, different wing of the government.
00:39:10.020 Yeah.
00:39:10.280 But still, I get what you're saying.
00:39:11.600 They've been...
00:39:12.060 Right.
00:39:12.340 A lot of this has been tight, but there is, there does seem to be, you know, there's a lot of big personalities.
00:39:17.620 There's always reported squabbling going on.
00:39:20.300 Who knows how this was released and who did it?
00:39:22.180 I mean, and that, it may be true that part of the rollout was hurt, right, because it was released before they were ready or something.
00:39:28.740 That might be true.
00:39:29.460 It still doesn't really explain.
00:39:30.920 I mean, the video is the video.
00:39:32.320 They definitely posted it.
00:39:33.900 Yeah.
00:39:34.200 They posted it like that.
00:39:35.600 They posted it.
00:39:36.460 They had a memo that explained what the video was and did not mention any of that, any of the issues we're talking about.
00:39:42.460 That's all you had to do.
00:39:43.220 Hey, there's a one-minute jump.
00:39:45.600 Here's why it's there.
00:39:46.960 But again, like, even with that explanation, which would make me happier, right, that they were at least available.
00:39:54.700 It still wouldn't make you a person who believes in this theory.
00:39:58.000 Right.
00:39:58.200 I can tell you for a fact.
00:40:01.940 Nothing is going to satisfy everyone.
00:40:04.140 Right.
00:40:04.460 Okay.
00:40:04.780 But you at least have to try to make the easy things go away.
00:40:11.220 All right.
00:40:12.040 Back in just a second.
00:40:13.140 Let me talk to you about leaf filter.
00:40:14.540 You know, far, far, far, far, far down the road, I planned on leaving the trusty old gutter cleaning ladder to my son so he could do it someday.
00:40:27.940 And he could, yeah, that's the kind of guy I am.
00:40:30.160 You know, he could carry on the proud Beck family tradition of hospital visits and crippling fear of heights.
00:40:36.360 You know, it's a family heirloom.
00:40:37.860 Really, it is.
00:40:38.640 Then I found out about leaf filter.
00:40:40.720 They install a stainless steel micro mesh system that attaches right to your existing gutters and blocks absolutely everything.
00:40:48.540 The leaves, the pine needles, the roof grid, the bird nest, the discarded frisbees that still are there somehow or another.
00:40:56.120 You name it, water flows through, the debris stays out of your gutters, and you never, ever, ever have to climb the ladder again.
00:41:06.420 Wow.
00:41:07.960 Our kids aren't going to know what hard work is.

00:41:33.120 Have you ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil?
00:41:38.960 Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work.
00:41:44.780 Glenn Beck will be right back.
00:41:52.020 You're going to be shocked to hear that losing weight may be not the easiest thing in the world.
00:42:01.260 And no matter what the magazines or late night ads try to tell you, it takes time.
00:42:05.660 It takes energy.
00:42:06.880 It takes willpower.
00:42:08.480 And even, honestly, the results can feel then slow or nonexistent.
00:42:12.860 You try one thing, then another, and then you're left wondering if it's just you.
00:42:17.160 But it's not.
00:42:18.600 I mean, the truth is your body sometimes needs a little help to get where you want to be.
00:42:22.840 And that's where a smarter, better supported approach to weight loss can make all the difference.
00:42:27.060 Lean might be exactly what you're searching for.
00:42:29.620 It's been carefully formulated by doctors to support healthy blood sugar levels, manage your appetite, and keep those pesky cravings in check.
00:42:37.300 Specialized ingredients that work naturally to help your body burn fat by converting it into energy and making weight loss straightforward and effective.
00:42:45.020 One key natural ingredient in lean is from an edible cactus from India.
00:42:50.360 For centuries, this cactus apparently has been valued for its ability to naturally curb your appetite, helping you feel dissatisfied with your food intake for longer.
00:42:59.580 You think it's the needles?
00:43:00.780 Then they get stuck in your throat?
00:43:02.300 That would make you not want to eat, I suppose.
00:43:05.460 Doctors chose this cactus, along with other potent natural ingredients, to craft a smarter, healthier approach to weight management.
00:43:12.420 Lean isn't complicated.
00:43:13.180 It's a simple, practical way to take control of your weight and start seeing real results.
00:43:18.000 So give it a shot.
00:43:18.960 Let's get you started with 20% off.

00:43:36.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:43:41.340 We're glad you're here.
00:43:41.880 So, Jason, here's another problem here.
00:43:47.440 Apparently, and we knew this, there were some cameras that weren't working.
00:43:53.680 How many weren't working?
00:43:55.500 One, two, three.
00:43:56.360 That all had views of the cell.
00:43:58.100 Four additional cameras were not recording that would have given us more context.
00:44:02.580 Four, Glenn.
00:44:04.260 But only four.
00:44:05.860 But only four.
00:44:06.780 Unreal.
00:44:07.020 You say unbelievable, and it's like, actually, the word unbelievable applies.
00:44:12.260 It's not, it's impossible to believe.
00:44:14.940 You really can't.
00:44:16.540 It's the actual.
00:44:17.580 No, apparently, Pam Bondi and her PR crew believe it.
00:44:21.540 This is Glenn Beck.
00:44:24.060 Let me talk to you about My Patriot Supply.
00:44:26.240 You've been watching the news lately.
00:44:27.660 You know, the world's not, you know, just unstable.
00:44:30.380 It's really on a hair trigger.
00:44:33.220 There are constant daily tensions in the Middle East.
00:44:35.480 There's nuclear posturing.
00:44:37.420 There are now reports of sleeper cells operating right here in America.
00:44:41.080 And the latest was from, I think, 17 Democrats yesterday that said, hey, you know, there's
00:44:47.120 a real problem.
00:44:49.740 Our base really wants blood.
00:44:52.720 Oh, okay.
00:44:53.600 Well, that's no big deal.
00:44:54.940 Look, we could go a million different directions, and this whole thing could come crashing down
00:45:00.040 like a house of cards because it's feeling like a house of cards.

00:46:36.360 We'll be right back.
00:47:06.360 Hey, welcome to it. Today I'm joining Liz Wheeler from yesterday and calling for the
00:47:13.700 resignation of Pam Bondi. I've never seen such incompetence. And I've seen a lot of incompetence.
00:47:20.320 I've been watching Washington for a long time. Just when you thought they couldn't get more
00:47:24.400 incompetent, they released the videotape of the Epstein cell and try to sell something that is
00:47:32.600 insane. Especially when you start to look at all of the details, like the missing minute
00:47:37.600 of video that was edited. I, you know, give them the benefit of the doubt. They didn't edit anything
00:47:43.200 out. Um, well, why didn't you say anything about it before? You know, when you release it,
00:47:48.240 you want to close all of the, uh, you want to close the doors on the submarine and not leave,
00:47:55.620 you know, well, I had the screen door there. It was going to keep out the flies, but not the water,
00:48:00.960 dude. God, what's wrong with these people? Uh, we'll get into that here in just a second.
00:48:06.100 And, uh, we're also going to talk to Celine, Selena Zito. She is the author of the book Butler.
00:48:12.380 I started listening to it, uh, yesterday. It is really good. I think I'm up to chapter six.
00:48:18.680 She is a great storyteller. Um, and she also explains America in a way I've never heard anybody else
00:48:27.800 explain it. The Trump voters and what happened that day, uh, in Butler, how president Trump's
00:48:34.680 assassination attempt has affected his second term. It's Butler. It's out today. Selena joins me in 60
00:48:42.320 seconds. First, I want you to imagine for a moment, you know, what you, what you could actually
00:48:48.340 accomplish in your day. If you're getting great quality sleep at night, Stu came last night because
00:48:54.080 it's a day's day and a half journey here, I believe, Stu. Yeah. Day and a half journey. Uh,
00:48:59.020 and, uh, there, part of it, you have to be on the back of a Wells Fargo wagon to get here, but,
00:49:03.740 uh, he came at midnight last night. So both of us had about four hours of sleep last night.
00:49:09.100 Uh, your mood, your energy, it's not as good as it could be. Trust me, my mood's not the best
00:49:14.740 today. No, no. Z factor. When you need to sleep, it's a natural non habit forming sleep
00:49:20.920 supplement from the makers of relief factor designed to help you fall asleep faster,
00:49:25.240 stay asleep longer and wake up feeling actually rested. No druggie, uh, hangover. Just,
00:49:31.580 just a great start of the day. Restorative sleep. The kind that powers real life.

00:49:53.220 Selena, congratulations on your book. It is so good. Uh, just started reading it or listening
00:50:00.200 to it, uh, last night. And, uh, I wish you would have, I wish you would have read it. Um,
00:50:05.820 but you know, the lady who have reading it is, is very good, but I just enjoy the way you tell
00:50:10.100 stories. Um, the writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are that
00:50:20.740 I think I've ever read from anybody. It's really good. And the description of your experience there
00:50:28.520 at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump, uh, is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.
00:50:34.700 Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me. You know, I was thinking about this as I was
00:50:40.100 waiting to come on and you and I have been along for this ride together for what? Since 2006, 2005,
00:50:49.100 like 20 years. Right. And, and, and I've been chronicling the American people for probably 10
00:50:57.220 more years before that. And it is really remarkable to me as watching how this coalition
00:51:05.540 has grown, right. And watching how people have be, have become more aspirational. And, and that's,
00:51:14.700 that is what the Trump, the conservative populist coalition is, right? It is the aspirations
00:51:21.220 of many, um, but the celebration of the individual and chronicling them. Yeah. It has been, has been
00:51:30.180 a great honor. You know, um, I was thinking about this yesterday when, when, um, Elon Musk said he was
00:51:38.000 starting in another party and somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the tea party tried to do?
00:51:44.700 No, the tea party wasn't going to start a new party. It was to, you know, it was to coerce and
00:51:51.460 convince the Republican party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. Uh, it didn't
00:51:58.660 accomplish what we hoped, but it did accomplish a lot of things. Donald Trump is a result of the
00:52:04.620 tea party. I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were with it, right. We're with
00:52:09.860 Donald Trump, uh, are the people that were with the tea party. That's absolutely right. So that was
00:52:16.500 the inception. So American politics has always had movements that have been just outside of a party
00:52:25.780 or slightly within a party that galvanize and broaden the coalition, right? They don't take away
00:52:35.400 a walk away and become another party. If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost
00:52:42.200 the Republican party because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the tea party
00:52:49.880 didn't go away. It's strengthened and broadened the Republican party because these weren't just
00:52:57.240 Republicans that became part of this party. It was independence. It was Democrats and this unhappy
00:53:04.100 with establishment Republicans and unhappy with Democrats. And, and that, that movement is what
00:53:11.080 we, what I see today, what I see every day. When I saw that day in Butler, when I showed up at that
00:53:19.180 rally, as I do so many rallies, you know, throughout my career and, and that one was riveting and changed
00:53:26.660 everything. You, um, made a great case in the opening, uh, chapter. You talk about how things were
00:53:33.780 going for Donald Trump and how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump, uh, changed
00:53:42.300 the trajectory, changed the mood. I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train until this, uh, moment.
00:53:50.000 What do you, what, what, what changed? How, how did that work? And, um, and I, I contend that it,
00:53:59.840 we would have had much more profound change had the media actually done their job and reported this
00:54:07.080 the way it really was, you know, and people will find this in the, in the book. I'm laying on the
00:54:14.140 ground with a agent on top of me. I'm four feet away from the president and there's, there's notices
00:54:21.740 coming up on my phone saying he was, um, hit by broken glass. And I, and to this day, that remains,
00:54:29.320 remains part of this subculture in American politics because reporters were, were so anxious
00:54:36.800 to, to write what they believed happened as opposed to what happened. And it's been a continual
00:54:43.340 frustration of mine as a reporter who is on the ground all the time. Now I'll tell you what changed
00:54:49.820 in that moment. And, and it's a nuance and I believe nuance is dead in American, um, journalism,
00:54:56.760 but it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation that I had with president Trump
00:55:02.800 the next day. He called me the next morning, but it's also a powerful conversation I had with him
00:55:07.420 just two weeks ago when he made the decision to say, fight, fight, fight. People have, um,
00:55:14.880 put in their heads why they think he said it, but he told me why he said that. And he said, Selena,
00:55:22.720 in that moment, I was not Donald Trump, the man, I was a former president. I was quite possibly going
00:55:29.900 to be president again. And I had an obligation to the country and to the office that I have served in
00:55:37.320 to project strength, to present project resolve, to project that we will not be defeated. And, and,
00:55:46.120 and it's sort of like that symbolic Eagle that is always, you know, that, that, that symbol that we
00:55:51.660 look at when we think about our country. He said, that's why I said that I didn't want the people
00:55:56.540 behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching it panicking. I had to show, show strength.
00:56:02.780 And it's that nuance that, that I think people really picked up on and galvanized people.
00:56:11.720 So he told me when he was laying down on the stage and you can hear him get, let me get up. I got to
00:56:16.920 get up. Let me get up. Let me get up. He told me as he was laying on the stage, I asked him, I said,
00:56:22.000 what, what, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Selena, I don't know about
00:56:27.100 you, but with me, it'd be like, how do I get off the stage? You know, that would my first would
00:56:31.800 first is survival. Okay. He said what was going through his mind was you're not pathetic. This
00:56:39.800 is pathetic. You're not afraid. Get up, get up. And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight
00:56:49.480 of by the time he's standing up, he's thinking I'm a symbol or do you think he was thinking I'm a
00:56:56.720 symbol? This looks pathetic. It makes you look weak. Stand up. How do you think that actually
00:57:02.360 happened? He thinks, and we, he and I just talked about this two weeks ago. He, you know, he's, and
00:57:09.700 this is something he's really thought about, right? You know, and he's gone over and over and also
00:57:14.680 purpose and God, right? These are things that have, have, have lingered with him. You know, he,
00:57:22.000 he thought, yes, he did think it was pathetic that he was on the ground, but he wasn't thinking
00:57:27.140 about I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic. He's thinking my country is symbolically on the ground.
00:57:34.980 I need to get up and I need to show that my country is strong, that our country is resolute.
00:57:40.920 And I need people to see that we can't go on looking like pathetic. Right. And I, and I think
00:57:47.840 that then goes to that image of Biden. You have been with so many presidents. How many presidents
00:57:55.840 do you think that you've personally been with would have thought that and reacted that way?
00:58:04.380 Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have, Reagan probably would have thought that. And if you remember
00:58:11.960 how he, um, was out, like standing outside, um, you know, waving out the window, right after he was
00:58:19.720 shot, right at the hospital, um, right. Had he had not been knocked out, like, you know, unconscious,
00:58:25.300 he probably would have done the same thing because he was also someone who deeply believed in American
00:58:32.920 exceptionalism and American exceptionalism does not delay on the ground. Yeah. That symbol symbol of the
00:58:39.960 presidency. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And I think that affects him today.
00:58:46.220 So let me go back to God because, um, you talk to him the next day in your, your book Butler. Um,
00:58:53.020 you, he calls you up. I love the fact that you would, your parents would have been ashamed of you
00:58:58.280 on what you said to him. Um, the language you used, you just have to read, you just have to read the
00:59:04.140 book to hear this is a great part, but he calls you the next morning and wants to know if you're okay.
00:59:09.960 And you, you then start talking to him about God. And I was, I was thinking about this as I was
00:59:18.040 listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't, I wasn't a Christian, uh, even though he was,
00:59:24.340 he, I wasn't a Christian when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.
00:59:28.260 I became a Christian at Gettysburg is, is, I mean, I believe Donald Trump has always believed in God,
00:59:36.920 et cetera, et cetera. But do you think there was a, a real profound change at Butler with him?
00:59:45.340 Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day, seven times the day after seven talked about,
00:59:53.820 and, and I think he was looking for someone that he knew that was there and could try to sort it out.
01:00:00.360 Right. And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him, um, at all. I believed
01:00:08.100 that he was having, you know, he was struggling and he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose
01:00:15.660 was to listen. Right. I know other reporters would have handled it differently. Um, and that's okay.
01:00:22.460 That's not the kind of reporter I am. And, and, and I myself was having my own, like, what, why,
01:00:28.880 why didn't I die? Right. Um, because it went right over my head. Uh, and, and, and so I let him,
01:00:37.600 he lived the conversation about God. I mean, he was also funny. He's like, I thought it was the
01:00:43.160 biggest mosquito in the world that hit me. Um, but, but he talks profoundly about purpose now,
01:00:52.520 you know, and God and how God was in that moment. If, if, if you've ever been in, in, in the book,
01:01:00.160 I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own head, he was like, you know,
01:01:06.360 I, I, I, I always knew that there was some sort of, you know, that God was present. He said, but now
01:01:14.160 that this has happened, I look back at all of the trials, all of the tribulations, literally the
01:01:19.520 trials, all of the things that have happened. He's like, I realized God was there the whole time.
01:01:25.500 Yeah, he does. And it's, it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those
01:01:32.600 conversations with him because I'm telling you, and, and y'all know I can talk. I didn't say much
01:01:38.760 of anything. I just listened. Um, I just listened. I felt that was my purpose in that moment to give
01:01:48.180 him that space to work it out. I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God. I'm Catholic. I follow
01:01:55.680 my faith. Um, and, and so I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right. And, and to, to have
01:02:06.320 that, to, to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Selena, why did I turn my head? Why did I
01:02:12.800 put a chart down? I'm like, I don't know, sir. I thought you were Ross Perot there for a second
01:02:17.040 because, you know, he never has a chart and, and he laughed. And, and then he said, what, why did I put
01:02:24.480 that chart down? Why did I turn my head? I never turned my head away from people at a rally. And
01:02:29.000 it's true. That relationship is very transactional. It's very, they feed off of each other. It's a very
01:02:35.540 emo, emotive moment when you attend a rally, because he has a way of, of, of talking at a rally that you
01:02:44.040 believe that you are seen. And he said, and I never turned my head away. I never turned my head away.
01:02:49.720 Why did I turn my head away? I don't remember consciously thinking about turn my head away.
01:02:55.040 And then he says to me, he goes, Selena, that was God, wasn't it? I guess her, it was, it was God.
01:03:00.620 He said, and that's, that's why I have, I have a new purpose. And, and, and so, Glenn, I think it's
01:03:06.820 important when you look at the breadth of what has happened since he was sworn in, you see that purpose
01:03:15.840 every day, he doesn't lit up, he continues going. And, and, and it brings back to the beginning of the
01:03:24.200 book, where you find out that there was another president that was shot at in Butler. And, and that
01:03:31.260 was George Washington. And how different the country would have been had he died in that moment. And now
01:03:37.960 think about how different the country would be had President Trump died in that moment, there would be
01:03:43.280 new steel for steel workers. We're talking to Selena Zito about her new book called Butler and the
01:03:50.960 assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting. And, you know, it is so good. I wish
01:03:57.620 the press would read it because it really explains who we are, who, who Trump supporters are, who are,
01:04:04.120 you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She is the best at that. Selena Zito, we'll continue here in
01:04:12.580 just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. We'll back with her in 60 seconds. A
01:04:16.600 journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. And if you're living in pain, that first step
01:04:21.340 might be a packet of relief factor because you don't have to do everything today. You don't have
01:04:26.600 to run a marathon or lift the couch or actually, uh, or dance at your granddaughter's wedding, but you
01:04:32.040 can take that one step toward feeling better. Just one step. And that's where relief factor comes in.
01:04:37.380 It's a natural daily supplement developed by doctors to fight the inflammation that causes most pain
01:04:43.180 back, neck, joints, shoulders, all of the areas that wear down over time and steal our energy in
01:04:48.240 the process. And the people who try relief factor, many of them are just like me. They don't just feel
01:04:53.340 better. They start living better, saying yes to things they hadn't, they had to turn down or didn't
01:04:57.700 want to do. Like I went hiking this weekend. What, uh, what was I, what is wrong with me? Help me,
01:05:03.180 help me. I'm trapped. Uh, look, you want to change your life. Start by getting out of pain. Start
01:05:09.000 with the journey that relief factor will take you on. It is a great journey. Three-week quick start.
01:05:14.900 Try it for the 1995. Visit the relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF,
01:05:21.580 relieffactor.com. 10 seconds and back to Selena.
01:05:33.180 Selena, um, I have some, uh, some news that we're trying to take care of today. Is it possible to
01:05:41.680 have you back on tomorrow to continue our conversation? Cause I want to get into the
01:05:45.920 killer. You went into the family and this is all the far as I am in the book. You start talking about
01:05:51.760 him and how he trained and his family and it's, it's fascinating stuff. Can we have you back tomorrow
01:06:01.320 to talk about more? Absolutely. That would be an honor. Yeah. Okay. Um, give, give one pitch on
01:06:09.740 what you think people need to know about this book and why it's important. I think people need to know
01:06:16.700 that there was a completely different election going on. One that you didn't see in the news
01:06:21.500 when you didn't see on social media or in cable news. And I really bring that, that story to life
01:06:27.940 and how much the country has changed in a way that you're not seeing in daily news, but I see
01:06:35.260 every day and continue to see every day on the ground as the way that I cover American politics.
01:06:42.160 Nobody covers it like you do. And I wish they did. And, you know, I know they're not going to,
01:06:48.020 but I really think, um, everybody, this, this is a book that I would love to give to friends and
01:06:55.160 relatives that just don't understand. I don't think they'd read it because of Trump, but it
01:07:02.260 really truly explains. I mean, just, you're talking about leaving the area in the parking lot
01:07:08.100 and the difference between, you know what I mean? The difference between Trump supporters and how
01:07:15.120 people interact with one another. It is such an important book. Selena, we'll talk again tomorrow.
01:07:20.500 I want to get into the killer and, uh, and what happened and all of that on tomorrow's broadcast.
01:07:27.100 Selena Zito, thank you so much. The name of the book is Butler. You want to read this book. It is
01:07:33.120 great. It is her real life, four feet away from the president being shot experience. This is Glenn Beck.
01:07:41.220 You know, mother goose, Aesop, uh, the brothers grim, they went to a lot of trouble to warn us
01:07:48.400 about procrastination. Uh, the ant and the grasshopper, the little red, uh, hand, the three
01:07:53.040 little pigs, one who built their house of straw. Remember that? Well, uh, that all represents the
01:08:00.900 person that is like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it's coming, but I'll, I'll do something about it later.
01:08:04.680 I'll diversify later. The message is really clear. If you wait too long to prepare, you're going to be
01:08:09.940 standing in the rain while everyone else is warm and dry. Uh, and they're holding gold and you are
01:08:15.940 out kicking rocks going, what the heck happened? Don't wait, please don't wait. Uh, I'm going to
01:08:22.160 share some news with you here in just a second about, uh, I think it was 17 Democrats that have
01:08:27.180 now come out and said, our constituents are crying out for blood and they are starting to be afraid
01:08:34.020 themselves. I mean, this, I mean, could have predicted, well, did predict this 20 years ago.
01:08:40.660 They are now concerned about their own people because they feel like their, their own people
01:08:46.760 are saying, you've got to sacrifice yourself with blood to stop what's going on. It's madness.
01:08:52.300 Please diversify. Things could go insane at any minute. 1-800-957-GOLD. 1-800-957-GOLD.
01:08:59.180 Protect yourself and your retirement now.
01:09:04.020 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, uh, there is a, um, a news story out today.
01:09:28.620 Okay. Several Democratic, listen to this, several Democratic lawmakers have expressed concerns
01:09:35.160 as their constituents. Democrats are, have concerns about their own constituents growing
01:09:44.300 increasingly frustrated with what they view as inaction. Okay. So we're on that, right? I'm
01:09:51.600 concerned about our party, but what are we saying? We're saying next time they are up for election,
01:09:58.940 we vote them out, right? That's not where the Democrats are. According to Democrats quote,
01:10:06.000 this is representative Brad Schneider of Illinois. We have people who are desperately wanting us to do
01:10:11.640 something. No matter what we say, they want more. The expectations I'm quoting are not just unreal.
01:10:18.900 They are dangerous. Some of them have suggested, suggested what we really need to do is be willing
01:10:26.420 to get shot. What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow
01:10:34.200 ourselves to be victims of violence. And a lot of times that's coming from economically, very secure
01:10:40.540 white people. Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of
01:10:45.840 Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles. We are a group that is
01:10:51.000 disproportionately people of color, women, LGBT people, uh, and people who do not fare very well
01:10:57.000 in prison. Democrats are concerned because of the, uh, historic victory and what is all meaning.
01:11:05.360 I'm quoting our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough. There needs to be
01:11:11.720 blood to grab the attention of the press and the public. It's like the Roman Coliseum. People just
01:11:18.640 want more and more of this spectacle. That's from the Democrats about their own supporters.
01:11:28.780 I told you this would happen in 2008. It is only going to get much worse. You cannot
01:11:35.840 do two things. You cannot embrace radicals and communists and anarchists and expect them to calm
01:11:46.020 down when you need them to calm down. You can't do it. It's not their nature. You cannot use people
01:11:53.660 because if they figure out that they've been used, they come after you. They are willing to die,
01:12:02.380 but you're not. And so they will turn on you. This is my warning to them forever. Since, since Michael
01:12:12.620 Moore was put in the box in what, 2006, the presidential box, 2004, this was my warning.
01:12:19.120 They will turn on you and then it gets dangerous for you first. Now they're doing it and we are seeing
01:12:28.320 an increase in violence. And the violence is coming from the Democrats, not all Democrats.
01:12:36.700 The Democratic leaders are now expressing that their own constituents are saying,
01:12:42.420 you need to get shot. There needs to be blood in the streets. That's not American. Now,
01:12:50.420 a few of these Democrats are coming out and saying this. But what was the other warning I gave you?
01:12:58.320 The Democrats will then cower in fear because they'll have no place to run. Do you remember
01:13:06.700 that monologue I did on Fox off the top of my head when I said, you people in the press,
01:13:11.580 you think you're fine. You think you're fine. You Democrats that are cozying up to these radicals
01:13:19.520 in the streets, you think it's going to come out on us. They are going to drag you and me
01:13:25.120 out into the middle of the streets and beat you on to death on live television and they will celebrate it.
01:13:32.280 this is why, this is why the truth on Epstein is so important. And I, I, this sounds so stupid
01:13:48.920 because Epstein, that's not going to change anything. It's not going to change anything.
01:13:54.240 Whether he, whether people go to prison or not, it's not going to affect, you know, the operation
01:14:00.800 of the government. What will change things is the truth that there was no coverup, that he acted his,
01:14:10.320 by himself, or that there was a coverup and that everyone is involved and that he is a Mossad
01:14:17.720 agent or a CIA agent or whatever. The details don't matter at this point. This is so important.
01:14:25.200 And I haven't, I've tried for two days to try to explain this and I haven't found the right words yet.
01:14:30.500 The details don't matter. What matters is that people start to believe there is justice.
01:14:38.860 We were talking earlier and I, I'm afraid to go back to Jason because he's been doing more research.
01:14:43.800 And, you know, just what he found just, you know, yesterday is shocking enough. The tape that is out
01:14:50.940 is, of course, not those two green doors. Those aren't the doors. Everybody just assumed those
01:14:56.620 were the doors. Those are not the doors. They're not even looking at that floor. They're saying,
01:15:02.440 look past the guardrail to the floor downstairs and you will see a couple of jail cells.
01:15:09.340 But those cells, those aren't even his, his cells. Then also it was discovered yesterday
01:15:17.560 that there is an edit in the tape. And, um, let's just say nothing happened. Let's just say nothing
01:15:27.400 happened. Listen, I don't believe this, but let's just say that there was no edit. It was just a digital
01:15:32.500 jump in the tape. Now I've not seen that happen, but let's just say it did.
01:15:38.680 Who is so unbelievably incompetent in Pam Bondi's office that they release this tape. You did not
01:15:47.620 have an intern look and say, there's a minute missing here. You didn't, you didn't, if you want
01:15:55.500 to say, well, it was just a minute. It was just a jump. It was no big deal. You say that when you
01:16:01.300 give it to people. Now, here's the one thing that I just cannot, I can't excuse the people that are
01:16:10.360 involved in this. Many of them are very good with the press. They know what they're doing.
01:16:17.680 They know how to tell stories. They know what they're doing. Why? Why for the love of everything
01:16:24.580 good and sacred? Why for the good of the Republic? Wouldn't you say this when you're releasing it?
01:16:34.080 Hey, there's an edit.
01:16:39.460 You're just adding fuel to the fire. What is wrong with you? Pam Bondi should step down.
01:16:47.720 She should be fired or she should step down. This is the worst rollout. First of all,
01:16:53.260 I've got it on my desk. All of the names, everything that's going on. I got it on my desk
01:16:57.820 and we're going to be releasing it. Okay. Let's just take the most innocent. She didn't read it.
01:17:04.780 She didn't know what was sitting on her desk. She had a bunch of papers on her desk and there was
01:17:08.000 nothing in it, but she made it sound like there was something in it. Okay. Mistake. Then how do you
01:17:15.020 cover that mistake? Remember it was a couple of days later. We can't release it because there are
01:17:21.700 forces inside the FBI in New York that are stopping us from getting this information.
01:17:32.600 I said at the time, then why aren't you up there arresting those people? Why isn't there a SWAT
01:17:37.200 team up there? Why aren't you taking those people out in handcuffs? Well, the logical conclusion there
01:17:43.540 is because that wasn't happening. Now I gave Pam Bondi the benefit of the doubt and said, well,
01:17:50.180 let's see. There's, you know, I'm going to give her a year. I can't give her a year. Can't give her a
01:17:54.120 year. This is absolute incompetence at the very best. Jason doesn't believe I'm trying to give
01:18:01.580 everybody the benefit of the doubt. I'm trying not to go down a conspiratorial road because I don't
01:18:08.560 know what to believe now. Jason will not give Pam Bondi the benefit of the doubt on that.
01:18:15.040 I don't, the way, and I want to address like some of the social media reaction. And I think most of
01:18:20.060 the country's reaction over the past few days, because a lot of us were told this video was
01:18:24.620 the definitive proof. It's like, ah, we've seen the video, you know, he must've killed himself.
01:18:28.980 But as you're looking, if you, when, as you look at this video and you compare it to the OIG report
01:18:34.260 from two years ago, I don't see how you can say definitively that this video shows you anything
01:18:41.340 at all. For, for one, this is the only camera angle that is actually on this floor that is
01:18:48.200 recording any video. As we said before, there are four other cameras that were recording a live
01:18:54.960 stream or were showing a live stream, but weren't recording anything. So there is no record what
01:19:00.740 they had. And I want to read this part from the OIG report. It just kind of struck my funny.
01:19:05.760 It said, quote, as the OIG has noted numerous prior reports, a bureau of prison staff and inmates
01:19:11.740 are aware of where prison cameras are located. And here, listen to this, and often engage in
01:19:18.100 wrongdoing in locations where they know cameras are not located. So did they all know that the
01:19:25.980 other four cameras, they were there, they just were not showing any proof of what may or may not
01:19:31.340 be happening? I don't know. But I think it's interesting that I don't see how you can say,
01:19:36.240 look, this video proves anything. Because as you're looking at the video, if there's that figure that
01:19:41.040 shows the actual diagram, even when you're looking at the OIG report, it shows where the camera is
01:19:46.660 focused and the field of view that it has, it shows that the stairwell leading up to Epstein's
01:19:51.580 little block, little cell area is in full view. Well, it's not. You can barely see the left side
01:19:58.220 of the staircase that actually goes up to his cell block. Barely see it. So if you're hugging the
01:20:03.360 right side, you could easily just hug up and go right up to the cell very easily. Wait, wait, wait,
01:20:08.060 I don't understand what you're saying. Go back to that video you were just playing. You're saying the
01:20:12.520 staircase in this video is going up to his cell block. But you just told me, because that's what
01:20:19.180 I originally thought. But then we were talking about earlier today, and you said his cell is down
01:20:25.760 below that stairway. It's down on that floor below. So you see the downstairs area is like the common
01:20:36.440 area. You have to walk up the stairs. You see like in the left-hand side, that's a stairwell going up to
01:20:41.340 the cell blocks and that one little wing. It's the same thing on Epstein's side. There's a little
01:20:45.960 stairwell that goes up to his little area on the right side, but it's not fully in view.
01:20:54.780 Okay. I don't think I, I think isn't that stair on the other side of that, uh, of that little gate
01:21:00.700 there, uh, of the, you know, of this, okay. The banister on the other side of that, that is there a floor
01:21:09.300 that is there, or does that go down? It's a lower floor. Lower floor. Yeah. So the lower floor is
01:21:14.340 like the common area or where the security guards like hang out, you know, they have their little
01:21:18.300 desk. You can see it right there. That's the lower floor. Then you go up to this, to the actual cell.
01:21:24.320 That's insane. That's even worse than I thought it was. That's worse than I thought it was. That's
01:21:30.020 even, I mean, I thought, oh my gosh, that's, that's worse. I don't, I don't know how you can say,
01:21:36.460 like I said, I don't see how you can say this is the entrance and the, so we can therefore rule out
01:21:40.940 any wrongdoing because you could even, it doesn't even address if there was an inmate that was in
01:21:45.080 one of the other cells across or next to Epstein cell that was led out to go do something to him.
01:21:50.760 You can't even confirm that. And any of the other cameras that could put any context to this again,
01:21:56.700 four, four others were not recording, but a lot of this is older news, but it's now a lot more relevant
01:22:04.200 today because we were told this camera was the definitive proof. It's not right. And again,
01:22:08.860 does not prove that he was murdered. It doesn't, it does just does. It doesn't do the job that
01:22:14.720 they're trying to make it do, which would be to disprove it. And Glenn, like, and that's the
01:22:18.860 problem. You can't just keep adding weak things that make you question more. Stop it. Is it possible,
01:22:25.540 Glenn? They're looking at this and saying, we have a, a campaign promise that was made that we're
01:22:30.900 going to release this stuff. So we got to get it out the door. Let's check the box on that.
01:22:34.500 At the end of the day, the only people who are, who really care about this are a bunch of talk show
01:22:40.100 hosts and like political obsessives on Twitter. Really? We are not, and I will say this to back
01:22:45.800 that theory up. There's no evidence that this is hurting Donald Trump. No, because it hasn't hit
01:22:50.480 Donald Trump yet. People understand this is the Epstein case. Now they don't understand that this is all
01:22:56.800 about justice. And I don't think that anyone, Pam Bondi certainly does not understand that this is,
01:23:04.920 this just started a clock ticking on all of the other things that people are expecting somebody
01:23:10.920 to be arrested for. Okay. Or to be explained this, this is started the clock to, it would have been
01:23:17.720 better not to say or do anything and let people go, well, maybe they're working on something.
01:23:22.640 Right. You know what I mean? This is bad. And Donald Trump has a lot of credibility with his
01:23:29.720 supporters. I, I'm not bringing this to Donald Trump's level at this point, but when, if this
01:23:36.600 is the way they're going to handle everything, it's eventually going to get to him. And that's
01:23:40.640 why Pam Bondi needs to be replaced. All right. Let me tell you about a lifelong picture of this
01:23:45.340 huge party going on. Kind of awkward. Sorry. You didn't get invited, but your social security

01:24:57.920 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,
01:25:03.940 is every fabulous item I see from Winners? Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
01:25:09.880 Are those from Winners? Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings? Did she pay full price? Or that
01:25:15.840 leather tote? Or that cashmere sweater? Or those knee-high boots? That dress? That jacket? Those
01:25:20.900 shoes? Is anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering. Start winning. Winners. Find
01:25:27.720 fabulous for less.
01:25:33.940 All right. You know, we're going to go through the schematic here on this video because, you know,
01:25:47.580 we looked at the floors. Stu's been putting together something. I assume you're going to do this on your
01:25:52.320 show today? No, I mean, no. I was just doing this to show. All right. So he's put this schematic
01:25:57.460 together and he's outlined how easy it is to get past this, to get to his cell. We'll send that to
01:26:04.700 the controller and we'll have it for next hour. Because again, again, it's incompetence.
01:26:14.200 And we have to be people of truth. Look, the reason why this is so urgent, I just told you that the
01:26:22.040 Democratic Party is now starting to say they're afraid of their own constituents because they're
01:26:28.800 demanding their blood, not our blood, their blood. You've got to get shot to grab attention to stop
01:26:36.360 this fascism. That's crazy. Okay. So things are being ratcheted up. Somebody has to be a teller of
01:26:45.320 the truth. And I don't care what the answer is, but what Pam Bondi has released and what the FBI
01:26:53.140 has released doesn't help. It only hurts. And you'll really understand next. Let me tell you
01:27:00.520 about Moxie. Starts with a few ants in the pantry. No big deal. You start to set some traps, spray a
01:27:05.800 little stuff here and there. Then spiders are in the corner. Eventually a cockroach in the garage,
01:27:10.180 you swear was wearing shoes, tipped your hat, tipped its hat. It's like, wait a minute. When did you start
01:27:14.820 wearing hats? Don't just spray and pray. You need the job done by Moxie. They put together a plan
01:27:21.880 that is custom for your house, your layout, and your particular brand of invaders. Now they also
01:27:26.900 show up regularly. They check for signs. They keep things under control before they ever get out of
01:27:31.120 hand. And you know what? I'm guessing you'll sleep a whole lot easier knowing that you're not sharing a
01:27:36.220 wall with an ant colony holding strategic meetings about how to turn your entire house into their entire
01:27:42.120 house. Moxie doesn't just get rid of the bugs. They give you your house back because that's what
01:27:47.760 they do. And I've seen them in action and I can testify to that. Right now, celebrate 25 years in
01:27:52.500 business with Moxie. You get your first pest control service for $25. It's usually a couple hundred
01:27:58.000 dollars, but you get it for $25 right now. MoxieServices.com slash Beck. Use the promo code

01:28:34.760 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck
01:29:04.740 program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There's a lot on our plate today. Just told you a story
01:29:12.280 about how the Democrats now, according to Democrats, speaking openly to the press about it, are now
01:29:20.320 saying that their constituents are becoming a little scary because they are demanding blood. Blood on the
01:29:25.740 streets. Somebody's blood. Even politicians' blood. I think you saw this and everybody just kind of
01:29:32.400 brush by it awfully darn fast. The killing of the local politician or the state politician
01:29:39.840 in Minnesota. Wait a minute. She votes with the Republicans on something. She doesn't want to,
01:29:47.180 but she just believes it's the right thing for the state. She even cries about it when she talks about
01:29:51.660 it. And then they kill her a week later. And nobody seems to care. That was a message. I truly believe
01:30:00.080 that was a message. Two Democrats from the left. You walk out of line with us and you're dead.
01:30:10.200 And a little blood would be helpful in the streets. This is a very dangerous time we're living in. And
01:30:16.300 that's why we must guard our credibility really, really carefully. Now we're going to take you through
01:30:23.260 the schematic. I just tweeted it out. So if you have, you know, X, just go to my X page and just
01:30:30.280 grab my tweet and look at the schematic because I'm going to, I'm going to share it with you here in
01:30:35.560 just a second. If you happen to be watching Blaze TV, then you'll see it on Blaze TV. But it is important
01:30:40.980 to ask ourselves if this is the video that Dan Bongino saw, what is it we're missing? Because I believe Dan
01:30:49.660 Bongino, I must be missing something that he, or maybe this isn't the video that he saw. This is
01:30:55.980 the video that Pam Bondi and her people sent out yesterday. And now that we've had 24 hours to look
01:31:03.500 at it, there's an edit in it. It doesn't seem to show anything about his jail cell. And we'll show you
01:31:12.200 how easy it is to get around this one camera. And this is the only camera. Something's not right here.
01:31:18.400 What is it we're missing? Or what is really happening? We'll do that here in 60 seconds.
01:31:24.720 First, let me tell you about pre-born. It's one thing to hear about something, to read a statistic,
01:31:30.120 to imagine what it might be. But when you see it with your own eyes, that's when things usually get
01:31:36.080 really real. You know, we have an abortion room set up, including the suction. And we put this in the
01:31:47.920 museum and we had it running for a while. And I had a woman come up to me just in tears. And she's
01:31:53.300 like, please, please turn that machine off. She said, I hear that in my nightmares. She said, I had
01:31:59.740 an abortion and I can't take it. And what I was trying to do was make it real for people. And I
01:32:06.840 didn't realize how real it really was. When you see something or hear something, it changes everything.
01:32:12.820 And that happens on a good end with moms. When they see the ultrasound of their baby,
01:32:16.660 they have a, they have, they double the chances, at least double the chances at life when mom sees
01:32:23.060 and hears the heartbeat. So please, um, you know, uh, 20 bucks, I think it is 29 bucks covers an
01:32:31.200 ultrasound. Okay. If you're doing well this year, could you do more? All gifts are tax deductible
01:32:37.300 and we'll reach into eternity. It saves two lives, the child and the mothers to donate.
01:32:43.500 Just dial pound two 50, say the keyword, baby that's pound two 50 keyword baby, or visit
01:32:47.420 preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck sponsored by preborn. Okay. Stu has put
01:32:54.580 together a schematic, uh, of the cells. I mean, you didn't put it together, but you did a little,
01:32:59.460 you, you, I did one squiggly red line. Right, right, right. And then I think it's important
01:33:03.780 to look, uh, because I think, can we put the video up of what they released first? The video,
01:33:09.800 um, what you're seeing on these two green doors, most people think, oh, well that one of those
01:33:14.220 or the one off to the side by the phone, that must be his cell. It's not, it's not. Um, if you have
01:33:20.260 to look down the stairs and through the guardrail into the next room, that's the common area, but
01:33:27.780 they're right next to the second green door, right by the edge. You see, I don't even know if
01:33:33.720 you can see it. It looks like you can see maybe the beginning of the stairs on the other side
01:33:39.780 that would lead it. Those stairs would lead up to Epstein's cell block. So you're not seeing
01:33:44.340 anything. And when you really understand what you are looking at this video, um, you don't have to
01:33:52.380 edit this videotape. You don't have to edit it because there's no, I mean, there's a million ways
01:33:57.200 to avoid the, the, uh, camera. If you know that that's the one camera that's on, it's so easy to
01:34:04.040 avoid it. And let me show you the schematic that Stu put together. Um, I love that I'm getting credit
01:34:10.780 for a schematic. This is a schematic from the OIG report. Yeah. And I drew one red squiggly line.
01:34:16.100 Okay. So you need to see the upper tiers. The upper tiers are on the left-hand side, uh, in kind of the
01:34:22.500 orange. And you will see where, uh, Epstein's cell is. Uh, it's way away from any camera,
01:34:31.660 completely away from any camera. Well, there, to be clear, there are cameras, just none of them are
01:34:36.300 recording anything. Yeah. There's one, two, three, four, four cameras, four cameras that would see
01:34:42.460 every important area. All of them are not working. The one that doesn't see the area is working fine.
01:34:48.840 It's working fine. All right. Again, it's a lot, a lot to handle. Okay. So, um, now let me look at
01:34:55.240 the blue section because this is the downstairs in the common area. This is what you're looking at
01:35:00.040 through the, you know, through the guardrail you're seeing down, you're seeing a part of this common
01:35:05.480 area. So take us through this too, because this is incredible. So basically you're seeing a good
01:35:12.340 chunk of the common area. Their argument would be to get to Epstein's cell block. You must cross
01:35:18.460 through this common area, which is true. You would need to go through that if these schematics
01:35:23.920 are as accurate as we understand them to be. You would not be able to get there from any other
01:35:28.100 angle. Um, however, there is, if you look in the, and I'm explaining this to the radio audiences as
01:35:33.960 well. Did you post this on Twitter as well? Yeah, it's on Twitter. Go to my Twitter. You can see
01:35:38.040 this. Uh, it, it coming out of Epstein's cell block, staying close to the wall where his cell
01:35:43.560 block is, staying close to the wall that comes under where the camera is, you are essentially
01:35:49.020 taken, you can exit the entire cell block without being seen by that camera relatively easily if you
01:35:55.900 knew what to do, right? Like if you just stumbled through the middle of there, you would be seen.
01:36:00.740 But if you were someone who, let's say, had a reason to kill a very famous pedophile, um, you could
01:36:07.800 easily enter and exit without being seen by that camera at all, at least by my view. I don't see,
01:36:14.400 and I don't think that that's, uh, there's a mistake there. Now, this of course doesn't address
01:36:19.560 the idea of potentially another inmate being, uh, let out in his cell block, which you can't see at
01:36:24.960 all. Uh, that could easily be another, another explanation for someone, um, you know, uh, killing
01:36:31.860 Epstein and not being seen on this video. To be clear, this video does not prove that Epstein was
01:36:38.220 killed. It doesn't. What it does not achieve in my mind quite clearly is to make it impossible for
01:36:47.640 that to have occurred, right? Like you can absolutely, you, there's a path out of a door
01:36:53.700 that comes directly below where the, uh, one working camera is staying close to the, uh, the
01:37:01.920 wall as you exit that door. Uh, and you would avoid the camera entirely. You'd be able to go up those
01:37:08.140 stairs. You might have to stay on the right side of the stairs, but that's about it. Um, and then
01:37:13.100 you, you, you walk up there and you're there and you can do the same thing on the way back and exit the
01:37:17.620 cell block really with no problems. I mean, like you could recreate this Glenn, if you, if you want it to
01:37:22.700 be, and if you were Nathan Fielder and had a giant HBO budget and wanted to do a rehearsal of the
01:37:27.600 situation and very easily, uh, get there and back without being seen by that camera. Um, so I think
01:37:35.400 it, you know, it just doesn't do the thing it's attempting to do. The only reason to release this
01:37:43.220 video is to persuade people who are very much on the bandwagon that Epstein did not kill himself.
01:37:51.040 Mm-hmm. And there's no way this video would achieve that goal. So there's really no point
01:37:56.420 in it. Dan Bongino is a friend. Dan Bongino is somebody I trust. Dan Bongino does not lie.
01:38:02.840 You know, he's not part of deep state. I need to know from Dan, what is it about this video that
01:38:09.060 you saw? If this is the video he was talking about, it has to be right. Cause no other cameras
01:38:13.100 were working. I would assume so. Now, if you look at this, the schematic actually shows which cameras
01:38:16.760 are working, which aren't Glenn. I don't know if you noticed that on there, on the schematic I put
01:38:20.300 together. Um, and, uh, you see the, uh, there's a bunch of cameras, one, two, three, four in the
01:38:26.740 cell block on both floors, uh, uh, that have red boxes around them. Those are the ones that aren't
01:38:33.480 working. All of them would have seen, uh, the area not covered by the one camera that is working.
01:38:39.920 All of them would have seen it, which is incredible. I really, and now if in one other
01:38:45.080 interesting details, if you look on the lower floor schematic that I created, uh, and you walk
01:38:50.760 this path out, there is one other camera in, uh, the, uh, non cell block area, the area where the
01:38:58.220 guards would, would do things, which is working. However, would not catch a person walking out,
01:39:04.660 uh, to the one exit door. It is, it is fascinating. Now, I guess it is someone who would be
01:39:12.100 somewhere. There's a camera. I don't know if it's the parking lot or something. I'm sure there's
01:39:16.140 some camera, but I don't know that you'd be able to determine who the person was if you want to
01:39:20.420 believe this conspiracy. Uh, and, and I don't mean even a conspiracy in a demeaning way, but a
01:39:25.000 conspiracy in that, you know, someone was working together to, to get this done.
01:39:29.340 And this is such a red herring because yes, it's important to know if he killed himself or somebody
01:39:36.920 killed him. Okay. Yeah. It's important. It's not, it's not, it's not the top of my priority list.
01:39:41.120 It's not, it's not, you know, none of the Epstein stuff is at the top of my priority list. Um, this
01:39:46.920 is just a, a, a symptom when you're not seeing other people go to jail for you, watch them with
01:39:56.060 your own eyes, commit perjury. And there's not that they're not even trying to put them in jail.
01:40:02.980 It seems there doesn't seem to be anything from the DOJ moving. Pam Bondi's office is not issuing
01:40:10.560 anything. Congress is doing their part, turning everything over. And then what happens? Jason,
01:40:17.500 I, I, yeah, I think we can all agree that this video doesn't show anything, but can I just to throw
01:40:22.920 another coal in the fire? I'm just trying to rationalize what the FBI or DOJ are relying on.
01:40:28.220 So if it's not the video, perhaps it's the prison guards, maybe it's the prison guards. Maybe they
01:40:33.040 had a very detailed report. Well, if I may read another portion of the OIG report, this is talking
01:40:39.080 about multiple different, um, uh, prison guards that were assigned that night during this, when this
01:40:45.680 happened, it said during their shift, they each created and submitted falsified official bureau
01:40:52.220 of prison forms, documenting inmate counts, often referred to as count slips and completed and signed
01:40:58.320 more than 75 separate entries on an official BOP form documenting 30 minute rounds, uh, often referred
01:41:05.560 to as round sheets, falsely stating that they had conducted rounds when in fact they had not.
01:41:12.540 So we have people lying. We have cameras, not working, uh, falsified reports, uh, and a video
01:41:19.720 that doesn't really show us what they said it showed us. I, maybe the curious mind would want to look
01:41:25.860 into that possibly. There's also a sign that was posted. It's in the report as well. Camera up here
01:41:31.640 is on. Make sure you skirt this wall. No, it says, uh, says mandatory rounds must be conducted every 30
01:41:40.360 minutes on Epstein as per God. So the sign says, so they were supposed to go see him every 30 minutes.
01:41:48.860 I guess they falsified those. Yep. They falsified them or, and, or slept through them. All right,
01:41:53.500 let me go to Ed in New York. Hello, Ed line eight. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Hi. Look, um, we can all agree that
01:42:00.540 the Epstein sting operation was to get a number of top officials to do what deep state wanted them to do.
01:42:08.880 So if I'm Trump, I don't think we can, we can't all say that we, we, we suspect that, but I don't
01:42:15.680 think that that's not, that's what we're trying to prove. A lot of people. Yes. I mean, there's a lot
01:42:20.280 of people that suspect a lot of things and it's definitely a possibility. Oh yeah, it is. It's a
01:42:26.560 very good possibility, but yeah, because otherwise, uh, uh, you look at Epstein had ties to the CIA.
01:42:34.120 Uh, there, there, there are not a whole lot of other reasons for doing some, an operation
01:42:40.200 this big and having presidents. So, so I, I, I'm not arguing with, I'm not arguing with your
01:42:45.920 conclusion, Ed. I'm arguing with, let's not start conversations with, we all know, we all
01:42:53.180 suspect, we all believe, or many of us do, but we do not know. And that's the problem. We must
01:43:00.800 have the evidence and why are they holding it back? It only makes our, we all feel, we
01:43:07.760 all know. Um, you know, it only makes that stronger. So I'm just trying to make sure that
01:43:13.480 we are not adding fuel to the fire on this. We have to guard our credibility. I listened
01:43:20.600 to your show a lot, but this schematic thing. Okay. Let me, let me finish my thought here.
01:43:25.960 Okay. All right. Go ahead. If I was Trump, if I was Trump and the other, I had all the
01:43:31.740 names of all of these people, why release them? When I can call these people on the phone
01:43:38.240 and say, I have you on the Epstein list and now you're going to do what I want.
01:43:44.140 Wow. You would do that, Ed? Yeah, of course you guys. I love you. I really do. I listen
01:43:53.700 to you almost every day, but this is hardball. This is hardball. I don't. So Ed, I don't
01:44:02.380 believe ends justify the means ever. And it is hardball. That's why I have your name. I call
01:44:07.500 you up. I have your name. I have all the evidence and I am putting your ass in prison for the rest
01:44:13.460 of your life. That is, that is what justice is. When you take a wrong and you then do something
01:44:21.680 else that is wrong and you let, in this case, a child molester get away with it because I can
01:44:29.180 get him to do what I want. That's blackmail. That's, I mean, you've become what you're trying
01:44:34.440 to destroy. No, but people listen, this goes out. Law enforcement uses junkies all the time
01:44:41.760 to catch bigger junkies. Okay. And everybody knows that if you want to make an omelet, you
01:44:47.500 got to break a few eggs. Said by Stalin or Mao. They have crucified this guy. Crucified him.
01:44:55.660 I understand. 31 convictions. All of that stuff. And if I was Trump, look, do you believe that
01:45:03.280 Trump's agenda is, is a just agenda and that he has, you know, I can't, I can't, I can't even go
01:45:10.500 down this road with you. I mean, you use the word they crucified him. Jesus didn't compromise and he
01:45:17.100 was literally crucified. There are, there are roads and see, this is where we get into trouble.
01:45:23.020 There are things when you start to say, you know what? The ends justify the means. The country is at stake.
01:45:32.080 So we will blackmail people. No, I want no part of that. Now you might, but I don't. And so I can't,
01:45:40.080 I can't go down with that road. I think we agree on a lot of stuff, just not that. And I got to go
01:45:47.780 hit a network break. Thank you for your call. The number is 888-727-BECK. My Patriots apply. Been
01:45:54.120 thinking about this lately. I mean, you know, that kind of thinking is exactly what the Democrats are
01:45:58.180 warning about their own people. Now their own people are saying, you're not doing enough.
01:46:02.900 There has to be blood in the streets. Well, look at what they're doing. Look what happened.
01:46:08.600 You know, that's their excuse on us. Look at Donald Trump is a fascist and we all know it.
01:46:14.060 No, you don't know it. You think it, but where's your proof? Uh, okay. Gosh, I'm sorry. I,
01:46:20.780 you know, I know a lot of the audience is going to disagree, but I, I, I am who I am. And this is
01:46:27.060 my opinion. And if you don't like it, I'm sorry. I hope that you continue to listen, but I have to
01:46:32.760 say what I believe is true. Okay. Uh, the grocery store shelves, if they go empty tomorrow and we've
01:46:39.440 seen it happen and it could happen. I mean, you, you hit any of these major bumps in the road and
01:46:45.820 we're in trouble. And this is why I would suggest you do what I do and have a, my Patriot supply food
01:46:52.400 supply in your home. Their new independence day bundle still available now includes a full year
01:46:58.300 of emergency supply meals. You can actually eat and want to eat. And for a limited time,
01:47:03.420 they're throwing in over $1,200 in free survival gear. That's water filtration. Have you even thought
01:47:10.440 of that? Cause I didn't for a long time. Solar backup power, even tools to help you say, stay safe.
01:47:15.820 And prepared. So no matter what comes, you're prepared. Everything is American made ships,
01:47:22.140 fast and free has a 25 year shelf life. And it's a great deal. It's also peace of mind in a world that
01:47:27.960 doesn't give you a lot of peace of mind. So I want you to go to my Patriot supply.com right now,
01:47:32.640 check out the bundle, my Patriot supply.com slash Glenn. That's my Patriot supply.com slash Glenn.
01:47:41.060 10 seconds. We're back to the show.
01:47:45.820 What? It's a fascinating day. It is a fascinating day. You know, I, I, I, uh, I worry about our,
01:48:02.700 I worry about our, I worry about everything. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, there's something that I'm going
01:48:09.860 through personally right now that is such a grave concern. It is on my, it's why I'm so
01:48:14.100 discombobulated here this week. Um, because there's something going on, uh, in my own personal
01:48:19.700 life and I'm, I'm really having a hard time sort through it. And it's all about this kind of stuff.
01:48:24.840 And, uh, it should be more clear. I think we're in the middle of talking about Jeffrey Epstein.
01:48:30.340 Can you be about, about, about compromises, about finding the truth, about knowing what the truth
01:48:38.620 is and facing the truth and not listening to hyperbole, whether that is from me or from another
01:48:46.480 source, you cannot take other people's words for it. You must seek the absolute truth. You know,
01:48:56.100 somebody asked me the other day, how do I find out about the big, beautiful bill? How do I know
01:49:00.560 really know what's in it? And I said, well, there's one way to really know what's in it.
01:49:03.660 And that is read the bill. Okay. Well, that's a lot of work, but that's how you find out what's
01:49:10.020 really in it. You want to take a shortcut, put the bill in to chat GPT and say, based only on this
01:49:18.980 document, the bill, can you give me an executive summary? And you can cross your fingers and hope
01:49:24.980 that it doesn't lead anything out. But if you just ask chat GPT, what's in the big, beautiful bill,
01:49:30.240 it's going to take it from all kinds of sources and you don't know what's true or not. You must
01:49:35.140 start with the original source. And that's all I'm trying to get to on all of this original source.
01:49:40.380 This is Glenn Beck.

01:51:23.200 Stu is with me. Also, Jason Buttrill, who is our head of research and head writer for the TV show.
01:51:29.400 What are we doing for TV tomorrow, Jason? Do you know? Have we decided yet?
01:51:34.380 Yeah, we're going into the socialist and communist takeover of the country. We're going to focus in
01:51:39.340 on Mamdani and everything around him. It's fascinating.
01:51:43.440 Jeez, I have so many good things. You know what? Remind me tomorrow. I wrote some stuff up over the
01:51:49.000 weekend on Mamdani and just haven't gotten around to it yet. So I want to go into that tomorrow,
01:51:55.280 and then we'll do that tomorrow night as well for television. Also, part one of our interview with
01:52:01.940 Selena Zito on Butler. I started listening to it on tape yesterday. She is such a good writer. She
01:52:09.560 is such a good writer, and she really captures the red part of the country. She really explains it in
01:52:17.940 a way that I don't think anybody really, I mean, unless you're living it, you don't understand it.
01:52:23.520 And that's one of the big problems. I mean, we're going to talk to her about the killer
01:52:27.540 or the attempted killer, the kid who tried to assassinate Donald Trump. We're going to go
01:52:34.540 into that tomorrow in hour number two of the podcast.
01:52:37.860 You mentioned a book about, you know, Selena's book talks not just about that day, but also about
01:52:44.200 the election broadly, right? I haven't read it yet.
01:52:47.000 And the assassination attempt.
01:52:49.040 And assassination attempt. It's out today. There's been several books, of course, that have talked
01:52:52.180 about this. They're not going to have the same perspective as Selena.
01:52:55.140 She was four feet away.
01:52:56.740 Can't be, yeah, I mean.
01:52:57.520 She was down on the ground with an agent on top of her looking at the president having
01:53:03.160 an agent on top of him, and she could hear him talk to the agents.
01:53:07.340 That's incredible.
01:53:07.840 It's incredible.
01:53:09.180 The cover of the book is a picture she took, right? I think from right behind the president
01:53:15.420 before the shooting.
01:53:16.420 Amazing.
01:53:16.960 I think.
01:53:17.240 Yeah, her daughter, I think, took that.
01:53:19.020 Her daughter.
01:53:19.680 Yeah, yeah.
01:53:19.800 Okay, so let me give you a story, a little bit of a story of another book as well. This
01:53:25.520 one's coming out, and it's more on the realm of, we've seen a couple of these books that
01:53:28.780 came from, we talked to one author from The Hill who came on early. There's the Jake
01:53:32.760 Tapper book that came out. There's another book that's the same type of thing looking at
01:53:36.400 the entire election. This is from a reporter from the New York Times, the Washington Post,
01:53:41.840 and I think the Wall Street Journal.
01:53:43.160 So the guy we love.
01:53:43.920 Three different reporters. No, three different reporters working together from those three
01:53:47.820 institutions.
01:53:48.820 So, again, certainly.
01:53:51.440 Extremely left, even the Wall Street Journal. The editorial page is not, but actually the
01:53:56.300 Wall Street Journal is the most leftist out of those three.
01:53:59.420 Of the news reporting.
01:54:00.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:54:00.940 There's been studies that have shown that.
01:54:02.800 So this is an incredible anecdote from this, though. The reporting comes from Axios about
01:54:09.200 this book. Tyler Pager, one of the authors of the guy from the New York Times, he got a
01:54:12.820 hold of Joe Biden's cell phone number as they're putting this together. Now, again, this is another
01:54:17.380 book that kind of shows and talks about the cognitive decline and stuff that went on. So
01:54:23.100 they reached out to Joe Biden on March 25th when he had been out of office for a couple
01:54:28.780 of months to ask questions about the book because Donald Trump is constantly answering random
01:54:34.620 calls from reporters. He does this all the time. I mean, it's like it's probably one of his
01:54:38.220 favorite things to do. Amazing.
01:54:39.540 I love it.
01:54:40.280 This is what the what the book says. Biden said he would be willing to speak for this
01:54:45.920 book the next day. The author is right. The next morning, he answered and said he was running
01:54:50.500 late to catch a train. He said he had a very negative view of Trump's second term. I don't
01:54:55.760 see anything that he's done that's been productive, he said. Asked if he has any regrets about dropping
01:55:00.020 out of the presidential race. He said, no, not now. I don't spend a lot of time on regrets.
01:55:04.520 He quickly hung up and got on the train. After the first call, the book continues. Furious
01:55:11.600 Biden aides repeatedly called and texted the journalist. After the brief second call, his
01:55:19.520 aides blocked the reporter's calls to the former president. Two days later, a message
01:55:25.060 from Verizon Wireless replaced Biden's voicemail. The number you have dialed has been changed,
01:55:30.700 disconnected, or is no longer in service. So again, a New York Times reporter, not Glenn
01:55:39.040 Beck. A New York Times reporter. I mean, you're not favorable towards Biden. There's no secret
01:55:44.940 there. This is a New York Times reporter who calls and says, hey, we want to ask you some
01:55:50.200 questions about the book. He agrees, answers again, and then just blows them off and I don't
01:55:55.680 know, maybe fakes a train or is really getting on a train. And then a former president. Yeah.
01:56:00.540 The former president is getting on Amtrak. Getting on an Amtrak. That's Joe. That's that's
01:56:08.160 lunchbox Joe. Yeah, it is. And then the reporter then gets harassed by aides who are apparently
01:56:15.240 still working for Joe Biden. These same people that were, by the way, responsible for hiding
01:56:20.040 all of this in the first place. And then they disconnect his cell phone. I mean, because
01:56:27.440 one reporter is making phone calls to the former president, you're disconnecting his cell phone.
01:56:33.340 I would assume a lot of people had it, but apparently that's enough to just get just one
01:56:38.420 call from a reporter is enough to get your cell phone disconnected if you're a former president.
01:56:42.280 And look at the difference. What are they hiding? Everything. Everything. You know,
01:56:48.080 what's amazing to me is what Donald Trump has done. He is such a genius. What he has done by
01:56:54.440 answering everybody's questions is he's completely cut the evening news and CNN and everything out.
01:57:01.420 Yeah. You know, it used to be that the president wouldn't talk to report. You'd have to wait for
01:57:06.420 these press conferences. Okay. And Joe Biden had none and nobody said anything, but every time they
01:57:13.320 would, every president I've ever seen, they've only had 63 press conferences in the last 63 days,
01:57:20.360 you know, and there's never enough. Donald Trump has invited people into the Oval Office, which they
01:57:27.180 always do. They take pictures and then they, they escort them out and he'll just sit there while he's
01:57:32.220 working, signing stuff. And he'll just take 45 minutes of questions all the time. What does that
01:57:40.420 mean? Why do I have to go to CNN to hear speculation about what he's probably thinking and what he has
01:57:49.260 and answered? I'm hearing him asked and answered all of these questions every single day. He's cut the
01:57:56.540 news completely out. You just go right directly to the source, him. And like, in a way it's disarmed
01:58:02.020 all the typical attacks against a president because he's always out there talking. He's always out
01:58:06.940 there, you know, you might argue saying things that the media would find controversial, right? He's
01:58:12.780 always saying things that would light the media on fire. Like, I love my country. I know, awful things
01:58:18.200 like that. That's terrible. But I mean, what's interesting about it is it's almost a lesson learned by
01:58:22.600 social media. I remember very early in your, uh, career to bring up a memory that you're not going
01:58:27.440 to love. Um, you were writing on the chalkboard and in the middle of a word, you stopped and started
01:58:34.180 a new thought and then sort of came back to the word. And in that process, this memory, in that
01:58:41.840 process, you misspelled the word. So you're Mr. Teacher on a chalkboard and you're, you're almost
01:58:47.300 doing a, uh, uh, Dan Quayle, right? Misspelled the word. That was the accusation. I'm a horrible
01:58:51.880 speller anyway, so it doesn't matter. Well, but at the time that was really rare to see a public
01:58:58.420 official, a guy on TV, misspelling a word somehow on TV. And so the left went crazy with it and
01:59:04.480 everyone went, you know, tried to make it into this big deal and say how stupid you were. Now in
01:59:08.020 reality, when you watch the video, you could tell you're in the middle of spelling the word.
01:59:11.020 You kind of stop, you turn back to the camera, you start talking in, you join the word kind
01:59:15.080 of mid thought and you just missed a letter, you know, in the process, whatever. It didn't
01:59:18.840 make any difference. Now everybody has seen everyone misspelled nine zillion words on social
01:59:25.320 media. Everyone sees it every day. And like, in a way, this is what's happened with Trump
01:59:30.420 and that like, at the beginning he would say something like when he said, you know, uh,
01:59:34.400 when he was criticizing John McCain, I remember when that, when he first did that, I remember
01:59:38.180 thinking, oh my gosh, like this is going to be huge. It was a huge scandal for a few days,
01:59:41.320 but now there's been nine zillion things and the zone is, is flooded. And he's doing
01:59:47.560 this in a way with reporters. He's out there telling them stuff every day. All of them want
01:59:52.120 it to be the biggest story in the world, but it can't be because there's a new one that
01:59:55.320 just happened. And he's figured out this strategy and almost applying the lessons of, of social
02:00:00.660 media in a way that, which, and obviously he's excellent at social media as well. Um, and
02:00:05.500 he's being able to sort of disarm this completely there, there are no controversial statements
02:00:11.180 from Donald Trump because the left finds all of them controversial and they always say it
02:00:15.180 and you roll your eyes and you move on with your life and his constant communication with
02:00:19.680 the people has disarmed their power. It really, it's worked. It's very well. It has look at the
02:00:28.440 difference of the power of the press. And that's not just because they discredited themselves and
02:00:34.720 everything else. It, and, and not just because of social media's power, but because he has put the
02:00:40.600 final nail in their coffin, the next president comes up. And if he's back to doing traditional
02:00:45.200 press conferences, it will go back to that. But because he doesn't do the tradition, he does them,
02:00:50.780 but then he also does all of these, you know, I'm just going to answer, I'm on my way to the
02:00:54.780 bathroom. Anybody want to come with me in the hallway? We can answer questions. I mean,
02:00:58.460 he's just constantly answering questions. So he's disarmed that entirely.
02:01:04.720 Yeah. And it's amazing. We, we did the, um, we did a, uh, uh, show, I don't know,
02:01:09.540 a couple of months ago. And I was like, you and Pat were on, I was like, Hey, like, here's a story
02:01:13.740 that we normally would have paid attention to. And we haven't even mentioned. And when you guys were
02:01:18.200 trying to guess it, and then I was saying, it's actually that there was a brand new, uh, anchor
02:01:22.840 of NBC nightly. Oh, that's right. Remember that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was like, I don't know,
02:01:25.940 maybe two months ago, something like that, maybe a month and a half ago. Um, and so I was, uh,
02:01:32.320 we did that on the air and talked about it and like, we didn't even know who the person was and
02:01:36.680 we just kind of joked about it. It's like how irrelevant is the media? Still haven't seen it.
02:01:40.480 So I was on with Megan Kelly last week and the media came up and we were talking and that same
02:01:47.100 thought popped into my head. And I said the same thing to her, like, you know, did you even know
02:01:51.320 there was a new anchor of NBC nightly news? And she goes, Oh really? Who is it? Now Megan's on top
02:01:56.660 of this stuff. She follows the media stuff really, really closely. She hadn't even heard. And that
02:02:01.660 was, I don't know, four to six weeks. And it just makes the point that these people don't matter
02:02:08.300 anymore. They're no longer germane to the conversation. That's a, I mean, I think overall
02:02:14.380 a very good thing. So here's who does matter now. However, um, you know, if you look at what's
02:02:21.660 coming out, for instance, um, you look at what's coming out about how Donald Trump had
02:02:28.820 cut the budget and fired people at Noah. And so all these kids died in this flood in Texas
02:02:36.740 because Donald Trump, and we're not going to add somebody in my life actually say to me
02:02:42.940 yesterday, he's going to destroy Noah. We will not, he's making it. So we will not know if
02:02:50.320 there's any storms coming anywhere in the country. Be a fascinating approach for a man who owns
02:02:56.480 multiple coastal properties in Florida. He just doesn't care. And what, what is happening is people
02:03:05.400 are just taking it from news feeds. Okay. In their social media and these, these, and I would say this
02:03:15.440 about any of us, you should not take anything from me and not check it. Okay. That was good. But if you
02:03:22.660 are, if you are listening to the Sierra club, you should know, even if they're on your side, it's the
02:03:29.660 Sierra club. You know, if, if I get something from the GOP and you know, they're not really on my side
02:03:36.160 and I'm not really on their side, but you would think that I could get something from the GOP and I
02:03:41.000 would believe it. I don't, I don't. And neither should you. If you are on the left, you shouldn't
02:03:47.380 believe something that's coming from the DNC. You shouldn't believe any of this stuff, right?
02:03:52.300 That's where, that's where your weakness is, right? Yes. But, you know, I, I always find that,
02:03:56.300 um, you know, you try to check everything. It's hard to do. I always try to enter something,
02:04:01.100 a story with, uh, with a skeptical eye to make sure, you know, I'm not falling for something that,
02:04:05.700 you know, I have priors, I have prior beliefs and I want to make sure I'm not caught by my priors.
02:04:09.140 The things that I believe though, most frequently are going to be when the left says something that
02:04:16.300 I agree with. Yes. Right. I'm much more apt to say, oh my gosh, wow. They're, they're backing up,
02:04:21.080 you know, something that I already agree. Yeah. Or when someone on my side says, actually the left
02:04:26.180 is right on this one. Yeah. I'm much more apt to believe that when it's someone that I trust,
02:04:30.460 you know, that, that, that normally is right and normally agrees with me. And then they're like,
02:04:34.740 actually on this one, you should check because yeah, I'm much more, I'm much more apt to be
02:04:39.120 like, whoa, I better look at this. Right. You know, when I hear a person on the left,
02:04:42.720 say the left thing, like, you know, it could be true, but it also, and the same thing with the
02:04:45.940 right. And the same thing with the right. And I think a lot of times people, that's where the
02:04:49.700 weakness is. Like if you're on the right and someone on the right says something, it is,
02:04:53.180 you're like, oh, I'm going to go along with that because it's agreeing with me. And I trust that
02:04:56.220 person at, you know, it's important to look at some of that stuff skeptically, you know,
02:05:00.880 you have to be able to try to spot that. It is also, you know, I get something from the
02:05:06.460 heritage foundation, which, you know, I like the heritage foundation. So I get something from the
02:05:10.380 hair and I'm just making this up using as an example, I get something from the heritage
02:05:14.280 foundation. I am not going to quote the heritage foundation. I will say to a friend, I just saw
02:05:20.000 this from the heritage foundation. Look at this. And I will use that to back up my side of the
02:05:25.580 argument after I've done my own homework to make sure that the heritage foundation is right about
02:05:31.820 that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because especially if you're using it as an argument,
02:05:35.760 I use the heritage foundation. Nobody's going to believe me on the heritage foundation from the
02:05:40.520 left. And I'm not going to believe you because you listen to the Sierra club. No, that doesn't,
02:05:45.860 there's no benefit of that. There's no benefit of that. If you can find something that's in the
02:05:49.660 heritage foundation report, and then you, it might lead you down a road that might help you with
02:05:55.460 the source that they're more friendly to. Correct. That's a helpful tactic. But again,
02:05:59.140 people have jobs and lives, you know what I mean? Like, I know. And a lot of people just don't,
02:06:02.840 then you should zip it. Then you should zip it and just say, this is what I think I know.
02:06:08.240 Tell me where you think I'm wrong. And let me look it up. Real estate agents, I trust.com,
02:06:14.200 you know, first started buying and selling homes. You know, I bought my first house, maybe when I was 25
02:06:19.540 years old, back when a house was $68,000. And it was, it was a nice, you know,
02:06:24.940 it was a condo, but it was a really nice condo in a nice part of town. $68,000. I don't think I
02:06:30.080 could get a shoebox for that now. But finding a real estate agent now who is worth their salt,
02:06:37.040 that is so important. You know, you'll get some that are disengaged, somebody that just wants a
02:06:42.140 quick sale, somebody who's looking at you going, that's not a big enough number for me to really
02:06:46.380 work. There is a better way. And that better way is realestateagentsitrust.com. This is a free
