00:00:30.000 So right now, everybody's watching the war in Iran, hoping that it ends quickly.

00:00:33.980 But there's something that people are not talking about.

00:00:35.920 Even if it does end tomorrow, the aftershocks are just getting started because the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted.

00:00:41.560 And that doesn't just fix itself overnight.

00:00:44.480 Ships that are arriving today left ports months ago.

00:00:47.380 And right now, shipments are backed up and supplies are tightening.

00:00:50.360 And other parts of the world are already feeling the shortages that we haven't fully felt yet.

00:00:54.680 Which means what you're seeing now is the beginning.

00:00:57.300 This affects shipping, manufacturing, and eventually medical supply chains.

00:01:01.240 And when the system slows down, medication shortages do follow.

00:01:04.580 And by the time that you get it at your local pharmacy, it's too late.

00:01:08.200 That's why I recommend Jace Medical.

00:02:51.380 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:02:54.080 Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

00:03:05.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:09.600 Glenn Beck is on!

00:03:11.300 Well, hello, America.

00:03:12.340 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:14.000 It is Wednesday.

00:03:15.240 There's a lot going on.

00:03:16.440 I mean, too much to get to.

00:03:17.500 We're going to expand the show today.

00:03:18.820 We're going to do an extra...

00:03:20.560 Probably half hour, maybe even an hour after the show because of all of the news.

00:03:24.620 We have FISA up for renewal.

00:03:26.920 I want to get deeply into that, but we have Chip Roy on that coming up in just a few minutes.

00:03:32.320 Probably about half an hour.

00:03:33.740 Also, I'm going to start the show with what happened with the SPLC yesterday.

00:03:37.340 That is very important.

00:03:38.820 Virginia, what the hell happened there?

00:03:40.660 This is criminal what has happened.

00:03:43.020 They have literally taken the voice away from about 40% of Virginia.

00:03:48.800 The SAVE Act, Iran, the ceasefire, and so much more.

00:03:53.700 But we start with what happened yesterday with the Center for Poverty Law, the Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:04:01.740 We'll get into that here in just a second.

00:04:03.220 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:04:05.280 It's a burner launcher.

00:04:06.540 Seems like somebody's always got to take a perfect day and ruin it, doesn't it?

00:04:09.720 Go ahead, punk, make my day.

00:04:11.600 If you're enjoying yourself, you know, maybe it's a hike, a walk, you know, a day downtown, evening with your family,

00:04:16.420 and then out of nowhere comes a person who's decided to bring chaos into everybody else's

00:04:20.660 life.

00:04:22.500 Aggressive, unpredictable, pushing too close, looking for trouble, whatever it is, that's

00:04:28.520 the world in which we live now, and most days we're fine until the day that it isn't fine.

00:04:33.880 That's what I want you to know about the Berna Launcher.

00:04:35.800 It is a powerful, non-lethal self-defense tool that cools chaos.

00:04:40.860 It can stop a threat from up to 60 feet away using pepper and kinetic rounds, no permits,

00:04:45.740 No background checks, legal in all 50 states, and here's what matters most.

00:04:49.920 It gives you an option when you need one fast, a way to protect yourself

00:04:53.460 or the people that you love without having to rely on harsher force.

00:04:58.260 Nobody plans for somebody else ruining their day, but you can plan to be ready if they try.

00:05:04.280 Go to Berna, BYRNA.com slash Glenn, learn more about it.

00:05:08.000 Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.

00:05:10.960 It's Berna, BYRNA.com slash Glenn.

00:05:15.740 All right. Yesterday, the Department of Justice dropped an 11-count indictment charging the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, with wire fraud, bank fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to launder money.

00:05:32.180 These guys, I just want you to know, I do have a horse in this race. I think these guys have been a bane of my existence for a long time. I have warned about them for a very long time.

00:05:41.760 so you know if you want an absolutely neutral view on the southern poverty law center you're

00:05:47.460 gonna have a hard time getting it from me but i'm gonna try to be as fair as i possibly can with

00:05:52.020 these guys they are a tool of the progressive engine and uh and i think so much more so

00:05:58.120 prosecutors say from 2014 through 2023 uh the southern poverty law center quietly siphoned over

00:06:07.860 three million donor dollars off to the top that's your grandma's 20 bucks you know that's George

00:06:13.940 Clooney's pledge straight into the pockets of Klansmen's neo-Nazis Aryan Nation bikers 0.67

00:06:20.820 unite the right planners do you remember that one and American Nazi affiliates now why would you do

00:06:27.260 that one guy tied directly to the National Alliance supposedly got over a million dollars

00:06:34.040 another deep in charlottesville that rally he pocketed uh hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:06:42.400 hmm that's weird all the while the spLC's website and mailer scream help us dismantle

00:06:50.220 white supremacy and they are actually funding it now how did that happen well the same way

00:06:56.540 these things always do layer by layer of deception starting back in the 1980s they

00:07:02.900 built a covert network of field sources. Some were already inside of the hate groups, others

00:07:09.180 infiltrated at the SPLC's direction. They had to keep it hidden from the public and their donors.

00:07:17.120 I don't know where you find this in a 501c3's organization papers, but supposedly they were

00:07:23.200 protecting lives. This is exactly what happened. I swear to you, these extreme right-wing things

00:07:30.820 that are supposedly everywhere, I swear to you, it is probably nothing but paid off people from

00:07:36.760 the SPLC and FBI informants. I mean, there are probably three people there that are actually

00:07:41.820 real. Anyway, they went so far to create shell bank accounts under fake names. They fed false

00:07:50.480 information to banks about who really controlled the money. This is a violation of everything.

00:07:56.120 They routed payments through prepaid cards and cutouts.

00:08:00.000 This is what terrorist organizations do.

00:08:03.140 Donors thought they were funding lawsuits and exposés.

00:08:06.340 Instead, according to the feds, they were bankrolling the very racist the SPLC was denouncing on the evening news.

00:08:12.960 The indictment doesn't call it sloppy accounting.

00:08:15.800 It calls it deliberate fraud.

00:08:19.360 A lie to get the cash, hide where it really went, keep the grift alive for nearly a decade.

00:08:25.280 sblc says this was just intelligence work it's dangerous necessary and we shared it with the

00:08:31.960 fbi no no they didn't according to the doj and the fbi they said we had no there's there's nothing

00:08:38.380 telling us that you were doing this doj said yesterday they weren't dismantling hate they

00:08:45.540 were manufacturing hate that they paid the arsonist to keep the fire going so they could

00:08:50.580 keep raising money to put the fire out and on top of that the DOJ said never were we informed

00:08:56.600 okay I want to take this to a different place those are the facts

00:09:01.820 I want to take this to if the allegations are true

00:09:06.180 this fits directly into what we have seen all over the world in really ugly political systems

00:09:17.120 controlled extremism let me explain how this works this is the way it's happened all over

00:09:22.880 the world okay first you help create or intensify the very the very danger you publicly are claiming

00:09:31.400 to fight if the indictments version are is true the machine would look like this money flows in

00:09:40.140 quietly into radicals and to dangerous people, and it helps them become louder and more active.

00:09:50.320 The public then sees a bigger threat. The organization points that threat out and makes

00:09:56.740 more money, more moral authority, media defense, and political leverage. And it's just lather,

00:10:04.120 rinse, repeat, lather, rinse, repeat. This is the self-licking ice cream cone.

00:10:07.880 the danger feeds the institution and that institution narrates the danger

00:10:15.960 then you turn labels into weapons in authoritarian systems extremist terrorist foreign agent

00:10:24.160 these are all tags that are used to not just identify real threats but to isolate opponents

00:10:30.840 you chill people's association you cut off funding you make the public afraid to defend

00:10:36.700 the target this is what solilinsky talked about okay now reuters has reported that russia their

00:10:44.380 supreme court recently labeled memorial extremist and that created a mechanism to prosecute the

00:10:52.100 donors uh the contributors and people who share its materials belarus used extremist

00:10:59.960 designations to do the same thing to media outlets and journalists. So you begin to isolate people,

00:11:07.560 Saul Alinsky. Third, you build a climate where the map becomes territory. Once a group is publicly

00:11:15.780 targeted as hateful or extremist or subversive, the press, the foundations, the bureaucracies

00:11:22.500 can begin treating the label as proof. So you'll notice that's what the press does,

00:11:28.680 according to the southern poverty law center this group is put the label in okay this is where soft

00:11:36.280 totalitarianism systems are born you don't start with gulags you start with um reputational death

00:11:46.700 which kind of becomes a soft blacklist you start funding the choke points and public fear that's

00:11:53.900 what the Southern Poverty Law Center was doing. Freedom House has warned that authoritarian

00:12:01.140 systems exploit broad extremism and misinformation networks and frameworks to tighten the control

00:12:08.880 over speech and civic space. Think of that. What are they saying? They're saying you control

00:12:20.800 Once you get this label out, now you can control speech, you can control people, what they do in the public.

00:12:28.840 AI makes censorship and surveillance and disinformation easier and faster and cheaper.

00:12:35.680 Remember, what did the government do?

00:12:37.280 After it did all of this, after the SPLC would label, what were they doing?

00:12:42.500 The Biden administration was using them as justification to go to people and say, look, the SPLC says these are dangerous people.

00:12:50.660 You have to censor them.

00:12:52.880 Well, what is this beginning to sound like?

00:12:56.640 This is beginning to sound like a color revolution.

00:13:01.920 Usually, a color revolution, if it's not directed, it's a mass protest movement that arises because something is illegitimate.

00:13:14.140 There's an election fraud or whatever.

00:13:17.240 It's usually a disputed election.

00:13:19.480 And then they use civil society networks and independent media and public mobilization to challenge whoever the president is or the prime minister.

00:13:29.660 That's a color revolution. 0.70

00:13:32.060 So what do they need?

00:13:34.700 They need an unpopular, see if any of this is available here in America.

00:13:38.240 They need an unpopular incumbent, a person that is running the government that is hated by at least half the people.

00:13:45.780 They need an united opposition and enough independent media to spread the case that the vote was falsified or that this guy is an authoritarian and you need to dismantle and make the other side defending him afraid and fractured.

00:14:04.580 You also need the ability to mobilize large protests like no kings.

00:14:10.160 so moscow came to view this sequence uh as uh a series of things first you have to train the

00:14:21.420 opposition networks then you have to delegitimize the government you have to spark protest replace

00:14:27.960 the regime that's how moscow looks at it i told you from for forever it is bottom up top down

00:14:34.400 inside out. This is how the Kremlin interprets these events. Whether that's accurate or not, 0.60

00:14:42.940 that's the way they do. I think it's accurate. So let me get back to the SPLC.

00:14:49.320 If an institution can inflate or steer the public perception of extremism, then it can help

00:14:57.840 manufacture a crisis atmosphere. They are not the key to color revolution. They are one layer

00:15:04.680 of the color revolution. I believe this, my theory. Nothing is proven until proven in a court of law.

00:15:13.620 But if you can create that crisis atmosphere, it does several things at once. It delegitimizes

00:15:19.600 the political opponents. It pressures media to conform. It justifies surveillance and

00:15:26.240 deplatforming. It scares donors and churches and business and people away from the, quote,

00:15:31.800 wrong side, and it creates moral permission for extraordinary countermeasures. How many times

00:15:39.980 have you heard people try to kill somebody? Well, let's use Charlie Kirk. How many people say it

00:15:45.480 was justified? That's an extreme position, one that Americans have never held, never,

00:15:53.580 except in our very worst times.

00:15:57.060 Now you have people justifying violence.

00:16:00.640 It's justified. Why?

00:16:02.920 Because somebody has ratcheted up the labels.

00:16:07.240 In an environment like we have right now,

00:16:11.900 they're priming the ground for street mobilization,

00:16:15.720 government action, corporate pressure,

00:16:19.880 selective law enforcement.

00:16:21.520 It's all pushing in the same direction.

00:16:24.860 Now, that's not a revolution.

00:16:27.100 That's the precondition for a revolution. 0.82

00:16:30.260 That's legitimacy for war.

00:16:36.360 If this is true, an organization says these people are dangerous,

00:16:42.660 that feeds or expands those kinds of people.

00:16:51.520 those people continue to do dangerous things and their dangerous things that they're doing

00:16:58.000 is amplified and it's made to look much much bigger then the press reports the danger then

00:17:04.800 the public sees that report they label and they say oh my gosh it's everywhere then because the

00:17:11.500 people are rising up saying somebody's got to do something the institutions demand crack down

00:17:16.460 the same organization that was pointing out the danger and funding the danger says you got to do

00:17:23.500 something about it they're elevated as the trusted interpreter of the threat because they're the ones

00:17:29.280 who found it this is exactly how society societies go from free debate into managed fear and once

00:17:38.020 fear becomes the currency totalitarian habits follow fast look at what's happening right now

00:17:43.800 in Virginia. Look at what they did in Virginia yesterday. What do they do? And everybody who

00:17:49.100 voted this way, I saw the people coming out, people who are coming out of the voting booth

00:17:53.580 and voted to take away the voice of 40% of Virginia, 40% all said the same thing. We have

00:18:01.680 to stop Donald Trump. That's fear pushing you into totalitarianism and you don't even know it.

00:18:10.680 You label the enemy, you isolate the enemy, you criminalize contact with the enemy, you pressure media, financial channels, you make ordinary citizens afraid of being seen near the enemy.

00:18:24.540 This is what happens every single time.

00:18:27.720 Is that what the Southern Poverty Law Center was doing?

00:18:33.060 Well, I could sure make the case.

00:18:40.680 the last people that are pointed to and say these people are dangerous

00:18:48.160 are the people who have been pointing out the danger themselves.

00:18:52.920 I will tell you that anybody who gave to the Southern Poverty Law Center,

00:18:59.480 they are not going to read this the same way.

00:19:01.980 They are going to say this is this totalitarian state

00:19:05.380 coming after and trying to silence this group that has done well

00:19:10.140 and done good things for so long.

00:19:12.520 We have to support them even more.

00:19:18.060 Because for a good portion of the country,

00:19:21.640 they're in too deep.

00:19:25.040 And the media will never, ever disassociate themselves

00:19:29.960 from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:19:32.240 Never. Never.

00:19:34.780 So what does this mean?

00:19:36.720 I'll give that to you here in 60 seconds.

00:19:38.580 First, super sure.

00:19:39.380 sometimes when you meet a troll on the bridge and he won't let you pass until you answer three

00:19:42.700 questions, the best thing you can do is hop in your car and drive over him. That's what you do.

00:19:47.640 I mean, I'm not sure exactly that's the way the original story goes, but it's the version I

00:19:51.280 prefer. Why stand there dealing with needless obstacles when the whole point is to get where

00:19:56.260 you're going? A lot of business owners know exactly what that feels like when it comes to

00:20:02.040 insurance. You're trying to protect your company, your people, your livelihood, but instead you get

00:20:07.000 jargon delays stacks of forums confusing options fine print nobody that really has the answer

00:20:12.900 this is why super sure is there they go right to the heart of the matter what risks do you face

00:20:19.140 how do we get you covered properly without wasting your time simple questions smart answers

00:20:51.860 so here's the thing if the indictment is true

00:21:05.520 the comparison here is not that the SPLC ran a full-blown color revolution the comparison

00:21:15.680 is that the conduct, the alleged conduct, resembles one important piece of that machinery

00:21:23.540 that makes regime destabilization politics possible. The managed production of extremism

00:21:30.400 followed by moral framing, media amplification, institutional isolation of targets, the censoring

00:21:37.920 of voices pushed by the government. That's the family of tactics that authoritarian and hybrid

00:21:44.340 regimes use when they want to reorganize public life without sending tanks. And that is the goal,

00:21:52.240 if Americans knew history, that is the goal of progressivism. Have revolution without the tanks.

00:22:02.320 That's what's happening.

00:22:06.380 I hope none of this is true about, you know, the Center for, or I mean, the Southern Poverty Law

00:22:13.080 center but i'm sorry you'd have a hard time convincing me i'm not going to be on the jury

00:22:17.360 because you'd have a hard time i have i have a very long long relationship with them i think we

00:22:24.880 looked it up yesterday somebody on the staff looked it up said you know they've reported that

00:22:27.960 you're an extremist like 175 times oh they've accused me of inspiring murder and everything 0.94

00:22:34.120 else they're liars they are liars and they are part of the problem and i'm glad to see that 0.97

00:22:42.120 finally we're getting serious about shutting people like this down and exposing the tactics 0.66

00:22:47.980 that they use. Notice Charlottesville. What was it that Joe Biden said was his reason for becoming

00:22:55.360 president? I wasn't going to run a lie. I wasn't going to run until Charlottesville. And then I

00:23:02.180 realized I've got to run against this monster. What was the lie of Charlottesville? There are

00:23:07.900 good people on both sides. That's not what he said. Who was it that was helping fund

00:25:12.360 so one of the good guys in Congress is Congressman Chip Roy from Texas he is a candidate for Texas

00:25:36.820 attorney general and would be ruthless i think on that and um and i i really like chip um but

00:25:44.100 you got to do your own homework let me talk to chip roy about a couple of things that are going

00:25:47.740 on in congress right now and you can check him out his website roy.house.gov or uh chip roy tx

00:25:55.420 you can follow him on twitter chip roy tx okay chip let me start so many things to talk to you

00:26:02.600 about let me start with let me start with faiza okay um faiza is they're looking to renew faiza

00:26:09.000 and of course we're doing it in the you know middle of a war where you're going to be able

00:26:12.300 to make this case a lot easier we got people here um you said you voted for a 10-day extension

00:26:18.600 but you said that you will block a clean reauthorization without significant reform

00:26:23.760 what reform do you want well glenn remember that uh this situation was uh created because

00:26:31.700 of the abuses by the FBI and by our intelligence state in using FISA against the American people.

00:26:39.240 And your audience is very informed, so they know this. They targeted President Trump. They used

00:26:44.860 a different section in 702, but nevertheless, they used 702 to go after the American people.

00:26:49.560 We have the Arctic Frost abuses where they went after members of Congress, including me.

00:26:53.440 I had my records targeted, and I didn't even know until three years later, which is just

00:26:57.700 absolutely insane. And so we're just looking for continued reforms. Now, two years ago,

00:27:02.100 we had to hold this all up, same game of chicken, where we said, guys, we're not going to give you

00:27:06.040 a blank reauthorization and we need reforms. And we got some pretty good reforms. Big step forward.

00:27:10.960 We went through the Judiciary Committee. We put members of Congress inside the Foreign 0.87

00:27:16.260 Intelligence Surveillance Courts. We had a significant increase in reporting. We had more

00:27:20.620 standards on what they need to do. And lots of other things that we put in that bill that made

00:27:24.940 real big difference. And we've seen fewer abuses. The data we're getting is encouraging. It's

00:27:30.700 trending. But we didn't get a warrant. We didn't get even something that would tighten in and make

00:27:35.660 clear that if you're going in and you're finding this information, this warrantless surveillance of

00:27:41.160 the American people, because you've got this authority under 72 to target foreigners, which

00:27:45.480 we all support going after bad guys using it, right? That are foreign nationals. 1.00

00:27:50.500 But when you're talking about American citizens, we want to have every protection possible,

00:27:54.780 because the government abuses its authority.

00:27:57.160 So we want to see greater empowerment

00:27:59.340 of being able to have more review

00:28:01.380 of what's happening

00:28:01.900 in the foreign intelligence surveillance courts.

00:28:03.960 We want to have greater penalties,

00:28:06.580 much stiffer penalties for abuses

00:28:08.020 within the intelligence community and the FBI.

00:28:10.880 And we want to have greater warrant protection.

00:28:13.580 That is, you cannot use the stuff you find

00:28:16.060 to embark on a criminal investigation

00:28:19.000 without getting a full warrant on an American citizen.

00:28:22.280 Those are the kinds of things

00:28:23.380 that we're debating and arguing over.

00:28:24.780 and the kinds of reforms we want to see in moving forward.

00:28:27.780 As I told the president last week directly,

00:28:29.880 so, Mr. President, we trust you.

00:28:31.360 We trust this administration to do the right thing.

00:28:33.760 But, you know, we've got to protect American citizens

00:28:36.760 for three years from now, eight years from now,

00:28:39.300 20 years from now.

00:28:40.180 Yeah, that's the whole point of the Bill of Rights.

00:28:42.800 I mean, it was our founders that put the Bill of Rights together

00:28:45.280 and they said, you can trust us.

00:28:46.480 Don't trust anybody else.

00:28:47.720 You shouldn't even really trust us.

00:28:49.400 But we don't trust the government

00:28:51.700 and we're the ones running the government.

00:28:53.520 So we're saying government should have these handcuffs.

00:28:56.680 You know, you talk about having a penalty, a stiffer penalty.

00:29:00.560 I'm going to make a case later today.

00:29:02.020 I'm staying on for an extra half hour because I want to make a strong case for the death penalty.

00:29:07.820 You violate FISA.

00:29:10.140 It is our most sacred rights.

00:29:12.800 It's our bill of rights.

00:29:14.700 You are violating the most sacred.

00:29:16.840 And if you want to say we have to have this, we have to have this, we must do it.

00:29:23.060 good then if you do it and you do what that fbi guy did to carter page you knowingly falsify

00:29:30.920 information you lie to a judge it should be the stiffest penalty our government can hand out

00:29:37.200 it should be you're violating the sacred right and we have trusted you and said we don't we don't 0.99

00:29:45.780 trust you and you've begged for this right if you knowingly do that i think you should get the death

00:29:51.320 penalty quite honestly or at least life in Guantanamo Bay no questions asked it you will 0.98

00:29:58.000 never stop the abuse unless the punishment is breathtaking and damn near automatic

00:30:04.780 well Glenn this is one of the things last week that we were pushing for I won't say that we're

00:30:10.300 pushing directly for the death penalty but your sentiment is exactly right we had massive penalties

00:30:15.820 massive imprisonment massive fines and like our question was how are you going to police it and

00:30:20.900 we need to have greater triggers for being able to monitor and have oversight. And if you marry

00:30:24.900 all of that up, then we'll get greater comfort that our intelligence community is not being

00:30:28.820 used against us and against the American people. But you're right. You have to have a stiff penalty.

00:30:33.820 So look, as this debate unfolds, our position is you're not going to get a clean reauthorization.

00:30:39.080 We're going to, you know, oppose that. And we're telling the speaker and leader Thune and the

00:30:44.940 White House, guys, we're open to ways to move forward. I know you need this authority. You

00:30:50.880 issues but we're going to continue to protect the american people so that's it's a non-starter

00:30:55.480 that it not have significant reforms we're open to what those look like and working with the

00:30:59.820 white house and leadership i'll tell you chip it's not enough to just have transparency americans

00:31:04.640 are starting to be transparent on a lot of stuff that happened and nobody gets punished

00:31:09.520 you must have stiff oh damn near as close to with fair trial damn near automatic uh it's got to be

00:31:19.120 an electric fence it has to be an electric fence okay yeah well glenn i will i will note that you

00:31:24.220 know and i don't want to change topics on you but this you know indictments for the southern

00:31:27.520 poverty law center i mean a lot of us yesterday were saying finally or you know i held a hearing

00:31:31.500 on this topic in december i know brought in turning point usa brought in a vote from the

00:31:36.880 family research council tony perkins talking about what we knew was happening with the southern

00:31:41.000 poverty law center antifa all these organizations well organized we called for a special select

00:31:45.900 committee last fall, we meaning the Freedom

00:31:47.840 Caucus and conservatives. Finally, we're

00:31:49.860 seeing movement. We need more, more

00:31:51.900 hearings, more exposure, and

00:31:53.820 then more action by the Department of Justice

00:31:55.820 to indict these people that we know are

00:31:57.840 targeting us. I was glad to see

00:31:59.780 that this actually came from the Department of Justice

00:32:02.020 and our new acting attorney general

00:32:03.700 yesterday, because

00:32:05.200 more hearings mean nothing, Chip.

00:32:07.860 You know this. More hearings mean

00:32:09.540 absolutely nothing.

00:32:11.600 My point of that, though, Glenn,

00:32:13.700 is from a congressional standpoint,

00:32:15.900 Our job is to expose and then get the Department of Justice.

00:32:19.280 You guys go indict.

00:32:20.260 You guys go take action and have penalties.

00:32:23.920 And that's all I want is more action, right?

00:32:25.640 Yes, I know.

00:32:26.380 I want to have more.

00:32:27.400 Yeah, me too.

00:32:28.080 Okay, so let me – I've got like three things to cover with you here in just a few minutes.

00:32:31.940 So let me go through with the Save America Act. 1.00

00:32:35.200 I think it was Anna Paulina Luna yesterday said tie it to Pfizer reauthorization because you're never going to get it any other way. 0.97

00:32:41.800 Tie it to that. 0.61

00:32:44.380 Possibility.

00:32:45.200 What do you think of that idea?

00:32:47.260 Well, like I know that it would meet resistance in the Senate.

00:32:49.780 I've talked to Ana about this.

00:32:50.840 We agree.

00:32:51.660 You know, I think there might be some ways we could get three quarters or 80% of the Save America Act.

00:32:57.960 I'm obviously the author, so I know the bill well.

00:32:59.980 I think we could get voter ID and I think we could get the voter roll cleanup if we added it to something that's a moving vehicle like FISA.

00:33:07.760 I think we ought to consider that.

00:33:09.120 I talked to the speaker about that last night.

00:33:11.800 You know, he's got to weigh the options of what he can move.

00:33:13.660 But we need to leverage whatever moving vehicles are because, as we saw in Virginia last night, we're going to lose it all if we don't act.

00:33:20.780 By the way, the Senate is sitting around going, oh, we've got to save the filibuster.

00:33:24.020 You and I as conservatives, we want to stop bad legislation.

00:33:27.520 I appreciate the sentiment.

00:33:28.860 But you guys are going to lose the republic because Democrats are going to do what they did in Virginia last night.

00:33:33.200 They're going to come in.

00:33:34.240 They're going to make D.C. a state.

00:33:35.600 They're going to pack the court while you guys sit around fiddling while America burns.

00:33:39.640 I'm sick of it.

00:33:40.440 And I haven't decided this is absolutely right yet, Chip,

00:33:44.240 so talk me down from the street.

00:33:45.420 When it comes to the filibuster, I want the standing filibuster.

00:33:49.340 I want the traditional filibuster.

00:33:51.620 Well, if you're not going to do that,

00:33:53.980 I don't want the filibuster that was made up in the 1970s.

00:33:57.840 Right.

00:33:58.160 Okay?

00:33:58.580 So what is the problem with nuking the filibuster if it's that filibuster?

00:34:03.140 I want the standing filibuster. 0.99

00:34:05.800 But I'm to the point where I'm like, nuke the damn thing. 0.98

00:34:09.800 Glenn, you and I are singing from the same page in the panel. 0.99

00:34:13.480 Last October, I raised this point.

00:34:15.620 I said, guys, I want to defend the traditional filibuster as a cooling saucer.

00:34:20.020 But if we have to nuke it, nuke it.

00:34:21.940 If you guys aren't going to get out of the way and maintain this fake filibuster, or as Mike Lee calls it, zombie filibuster of 60 votes.

00:34:28.540 There's nothing in the Constitution saying 60 votes.

00:34:30.800 There's no requirement that we have a default 60 vote position.

00:34:33.540 And by the way, that's also harming Congress.

00:34:36.900 We can't flex muscle as Congress against an executive branch.

00:34:41.040 I'm not talking about President Trump, but in terms of the balance of powers, Congress

00:34:44.540 can't do its job while we're hiding behind a 60 vote threshold in the Senate.

00:34:48.660 So I agree.

00:34:49.620 In fact, I've told some senators who won't move.

00:34:51.840 I said, guys, if you want to save any vestige of the filibuster, you better save the talking

00:34:59.060 filibuster, the actual, you got to go work for a filibuster.

00:35:02.820 And by the way, here's another idea.

00:35:04.860 Why not on this shutdown of DHS?

00:35:06.860 Why don't Senate Republicans say, look, if you have a shutdown and we have a bill for

00:35:11.500 a continuing resolution, that's it, then it's 51 votes.

00:35:15.560 What's wrong with that?

00:35:16.560 You want to have a sort of, you know, shutdown prevention act?

00:35:19.400 If a majority of the Senate wants to fund government at current levels, great, you can

00:35:24.520 do that at 51 votes.

00:35:25.940 Why don't we do that instead of right now we're going, oh, I guess we got to go past

00:35:29.460 something because the Democrats won't let us fund Border Patrol and ICE. 0.94

00:35:32.800 It's ridiculous. 0.95

00:35:34.340 Uh, let me see. Um, let me go here. You introduced on Monday, reintroduced the Mom Donnie Act. What is the Mom Donnie Act? Why did you do it? Why did you name it after Mom Donnie? 0.89

00:35:51.480 Well, look, I think Mamdani is emblematic of one of the major problems we have in this country.

00:35:57.020 We've been importing people who do not share our values and then allowing them to not only ascend to, you know, some positions in corporate America, but now increasingly in leadership positions, in this case, mayor of our largest city. 0.79

00:36:09.540 Look, under our current laws, we are able to reject people who are affiliated with the Communist Party.

00:36:16.100 The United States Supreme Court has upheld that as far back as 1952, a Supreme Court opinion.

00:36:21.400 They said, yeah, you can do that.

00:36:22.620 We're a sovereign nation.

00:36:23.620 We can choose who comes in and who comes out.

00:36:25.380 And we can denaturalize and remove people who are carrying out activities that are undermining the United States, if you're a naturalized person or if you're on a visa or whatever.

00:36:34.440 I think we ought to expand the zone of how we define that, not just, quote, Communist Party, but let's be broader in terms of Marxism, in terms of what we're dealing with, the Islamist movement, in terms of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:36:45.860 Let's lay that out and say, look, if you're affiliated with these entities and you're anti-American and you're undermining Western civilization, we can reject you.

00:36:52.960 And if you came here on a visa or if you've been naturalized, we can denaturalize you and send you home.

00:36:57.900 Because we're importing people who want to destroy our way of life. 1.00

00:37:01.300 You and I will die on the hill, as you guys, you and I have talked about on your show before, in defense of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. 1.00

00:37:07.460 People saying, ship, this is unconstitutional and it's against the First Amendment.

00:37:10.860 No.

00:37:12.020 What I'm saying is if we invite you here, this is our country, okay?

00:37:16.860 We built this country on Judeo-Christian principles.

00:37:18.960 We built this country on the Constitution of Western civilization.

00:37:21.980 If we invite you here, you've got to tell us who you are.

00:37:24.840 We need to know who you are.

00:37:25.800 And if you're affiliated with entities or if you're espousing beliefs or if you're promoting Sharia law or things that are inconsistent with our way of life, then we should not import you.

00:37:36.080 And by the way, if I got it, you're removed. 0.61

00:37:38.520 that's why you should include nazism too fascism nazism so it doesn't look like it's one side

00:37:44.040 because who's going to argue again you want to import nazis you want to import and and and

00:37:49.260 naturalize nazis who were lying to you about nazis and then when they get here they start

00:37:55.160 affiliating with all the nazis here no you want them out want them out it's a fair point i'm happy

00:38:00.080 to add that to the list i mean again it's so funny in this town you introduce a bill and they go well

00:38:03.660 that's the bill i said wait a minute let's put in committee we'll amend it we'll make it better

00:38:07.040 If I did something that's that's bad, we can pull it out. If we want to add something, that's great. The whole prompt is a concept. Why are we importing people who hate us? Why are we importing people who don't want to preserve the America? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. None. It's a suicide. It becomes a suicide pack if we don't 100 percent. Chip, I appreciate it. Where do people go to find out about your campaign?

00:38:30.460 Shiproy.com.

00:38:31.440 Thanks, Glenn.

00:38:32.200 Obviously, I'm running for attorney general.

00:38:33.720 Appreciate it.

00:38:34.280 Shiproy.com.

00:38:35.240 May 26th is the runoff date, and we're running hard, and I'm burning both ends of the candle

00:38:40.380 doing my day job.

00:38:41.680 I've missed, I think, maybe two votes in this whole process.

00:38:44.800 They were inconsequential.

00:38:46.220 I'm doing all I can to keep doing my job that I promised to my constituents while running

00:38:50.440 for Texas attorney general.

00:38:52.080 We've got to save Texas, Glenn.

00:38:53.780 I know.

00:38:54.080 We've got to save Texas.

00:38:55.100 I will tell you, we are closer than people understand.

00:38:58.280 We are so close to losing Texas, and if we lose Texas, the republic is over.

00:39:04.000 There is no saving it without Texas.

00:39:06.320 It will become California, New York, and then it's over.

00:39:10.760 It's over.

00:39:11.180 You never win another election.

00:39:13.100 What we saw unfold in Virginia last night, that's what the Democrats are going to do,

00:39:16.920 and they want to do it to Texas.

00:39:18.480 Now our last hope is that the Virginia Supreme Court throws it out.

00:39:22.980 They have a case?

00:39:25.380 Do they have a case?

00:39:27.000 because that's Cuccinelli.

00:39:28.680 I think they have a very strong case,

00:39:30.940 but I don't know the court that well.

00:39:32.280 But I mean, the lawyers I talked to in Richmond

00:39:34.120 and in Virginia, they tell me, look,

00:39:35.740 I mean, the wording of the vote, right,

00:39:39.080 of the referendum was terrible.

00:39:40.780 So that's procedurally wrong.

00:39:42.740 They had some other procedural problems

00:39:44.240 that I think the Virginia Supreme Court

00:39:45.540 could toss it out on in terms of how they set up the vote

00:39:48.300 and the rules that you have to do it

00:39:49.440 between an intervening election and other stuff.

00:39:52.200 I think there's strong arguments,

00:39:53.520 but I don't know how strong the court will be.

00:39:55.240 You know how courts are.

00:39:56.040 So, look, it's our last hope now.

00:39:58.000 The Virginia Supreme Court is striking it down.

00:39:59.860 I know.

00:40:00.340 Chip, thank you very much.

00:40:01.320 Appreciate it.

00:40:05.580 You don't have to be a doomsday prepper type to understand the basic truth.

00:40:08.400 The things that you count on most are the things that you notice only after they're gone.

00:40:11.800 And I'm talking about things like power and heat and groceries, full tank of gas,

00:40:16.080 a store shelf that is stocked when you need it.

00:40:19.000 Most days you don't even think about it because it's just always there.

00:40:21.740 One blackout, one disruption, one bad week reminds you how thin that margin actually is.

00:40:27.240 That's why I tell you about MyPatriotSupply.

00:40:29.140 They make preparedness practical.

00:40:31.520 This isn't about fear or panic.

00:40:37.160 plan that responsible people put up, you know, before you need it.

00:40:41.440 Because when something does go wrong, it's the worst possible time to begin thinking

00:41:18.960 most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways we lock the doors we install

00:41:25.880 the cameras but there's another way that your home can be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone

00:41:30.260 stepping foot in your property it is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what

00:41:34.960 it sounds like criminals forge documents they file them with the county they transfer ownership

00:41:40.040 of your home into their name and then once all that happens they can attempt to take out loans

00:41:45.720 against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is you don't

00:41:50.560 really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically

00:41:54.580 protect you from this, and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need

00:41:59.360 home title lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal

00:42:04.000 fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem. Something

00:42:10.020 suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can knock it out quickly.

00:46:24.740 You know, hello America. I got a lot of heat a couple of weeks ago when I said the biggest enemy that we are fighting right now is ourself.

00:46:36.000 And I was relating it to Iran. And right now, the Iranians are stalling, trying to drag this thing out. 0.99

00:46:45.900 They're just trying to hold on, quite honestly, because they believe they can outlast us. 1.00

00:46:51.500 They believe that if they just keep holding on, we are going to tear ourselves apart.

00:46:58.020 And the reason why we would do that is because we have a lot of pressures on us.

00:47:02.160 We have social media. We have propaganda.

00:47:05.920 We have our own institutions falling apart.

00:47:08.660 We have our own people tearing institutions apart.

00:47:12.840 And we don't really believe in anything anymore.

00:47:15.120 So what's worth fighting for? What's worth dying for?

00:47:17.640 I just want my stuff right now.

00:47:20.040 You don't survive as a nation if you do that.

00:47:23.700 And we are starting to see this happen in Canada.

00:47:29.400 Tomorrow I'm doing a monologue on Canada that I really want you to hear

00:47:32.700 because it is our future if we are not careful.

00:47:35.940 Canada is now killing their own people at just a record clip

00:47:39.440 through medical assistance in dying.

00:47:43.900 And they're doing it because they can't afford medicine anymore.

00:47:46.840 They just can't afford it.

00:47:47.680 Why? Because they've imported all of these people. 1.00

00:47:50.220 Why did they import these people?

00:47:51.500 Because Canada wasn't a growing economy, so we have to have more people.

00:47:54.860 But that's only making it worse because now you can't afford housing.

00:47:58.880 You can't afford medicine.

00:48:01.360 People have lost the faith that they can actually get ahead

00:48:05.140 and the next generation is going to do better.

00:48:07.620 We've always had that in the West.

00:48:10.360 My question is, are there things that we can hold on to and believe in?

00:48:15.760 Are there things that we can do?

00:48:18.140 Because once we lose faith, it is over.

00:48:21.820 And I want to show you how bad things are in Canada.

00:48:25.720 I'm going to start actually at the ending today.

00:48:29.160 I'm going to give you what's causing all of it tomorrow.

00:48:32.420 But I want to show you what's happening with their happiness.

00:48:35.940 Canadians have always loved their country and they've always, you know, they've been happy, generally happy.

00:48:40.700 We've been like work, work, work, work, work.

00:48:42.340 And they've had a better handle, I think, in some ways on how to live your life.

00:48:47.660 And they've always been happy.

00:48:48.660 And they've been happy with their health care and their country and everything else.

00:48:51.520 They are not happy right now.

00:48:53.700 In fact, when you look at the happiness index, they have fallen faster than any other country.

00:49:01.680 And it is stark.

00:49:04.200 So I want to get a handle on that.

00:49:06.000 Daniel Foch joins me here in just a second.

00:49:08.480 First, let me tell you about American financing.

00:49:10.440 Most people think debt is just about numbers, interest rates, payments, balances, due dates.

00:49:15.080 But debt has a way of showing up in places that numbers don't belong.

00:49:18.060 It shows up in your stress level and the way you sleep, how tense you feel opening that email.

00:49:24.440 In low-grade pressure that never quite leaves, you're in trouble.

00:49:27.880 And that happens when you're carrying high-interest debt,

00:49:31.560 and it feels like you're working harder and harder every month, and you're staying in the same place.

00:49:35.260 That's why I want to talk to you about American financing.

00:49:37.380 Homeowners have options to them using their equity to consolidate high interest debt more than, you know, more than just, you know, opening up your mortgage and getting rid of that great loan that you got with that low, low, low, low interest rate.

00:49:52.360 You can now use a new program to be able to get a low interest rate based on your mortgage, but you're not resetting your mortgage.

00:50:00.620 Okay, this is going to give you breathing room.

00:50:03.560 Strategy.

00:50:04.040 If you own a home and you're tired of feeling like your finances are running you, see what American Financing can do.

00:50:31.720 Daniel Foch is the Chief Real Estate Officer at Valerie.ca, Canada's first AI-powered real estate brokerage, host of Canada's number one real estate podcast.

00:50:42.680 And he is here to explain what is happening with the Happiness Index because it is brutal.

00:50:49.940 Daniel, welcome to the program.

00:50:51.760 Thanks for having me.

00:50:52.760 You bet.

00:50:53.000 Happy to chat.

00:50:53.780 Tell me what is happening in the Happiness Index in Canada.

00:50:57.120 yeah so canada observed one of the largest drops i think the largest drop in the world

00:51:02.720 in uh in happiness and basically it's been progressing since about you know you know it's

00:51:10.720 not a brand new thing it's been over the last decade slowly falling and then it's sort of

00:51:15.540 took a pretty steep drop over the last couple of years and the more interesting part is if you

00:51:21.900 look at Canada from a generational perspective, young people are actually experiencing an even

00:51:29.020 more severe drop. We rank 26th in the World Happiness Index, right behind the US for the

00:51:35.660 first time since the index has started. But if you look at that from the perspective of young

00:51:42.380 people, young people are like 71st in the world. And a lot of it is because the way our economy

00:51:49.660 is structured, it really

00:51:51.220 makes it difficult for young people to be

00:51:53.560 successful and

00:51:54.660 they've sort of lost hope with

00:51:57.540 their ability to

00:51:58.700 participate in the economy, to be able to afford

00:52:01.600 things, to be able to get ahead in life

00:52:03.080 and achieve a quality of life

00:52:05.360 comparable to what their parents had when they were

00:52:07.480 growing up.

00:52:08.980 I wanted to have you on.

00:52:11.300 If you are listening to Daniel, I just

00:52:13.520 want you to see our future.

00:52:16.880 Canada's

00:52:17.520 ahead of us and what is

00:52:19.360 happening in canada is happening here and it's why i speak about several things on this program

00:52:24.880 trying to show you what's happening in canada to relate it to here um let's just talk housing first

00:52:30.820 because that's your expertise um we are we're living in america and it is increasingly difficult

00:52:38.860 to get a house people especially young people are losing their faith that they can ever change

00:52:43.940 their status they can ever buy a house um and get ahead like their parents did um and part of that

00:52:50.300 is because the you know the idea of the great reset was to bring people in from different

00:52:56.740 countries because our populations were declining we needed more people to make more money

00:53:02.920 but that didn't help anything can you explain what happened in canada

00:53:06.520 yeah so in canada we had a you know variety of factors that contributed to

00:53:13.060 very fast and severe inflation and housing costs so we had our from a zoning perspective

00:53:19.760 and a i mean we have a lot of like land use policies that are sort of like esg derivative

00:53:24.920 so this thing called the green belt in the greater toronto area where you know sort of like imagined

00:53:29.760 areas where you can't develop because of um you know the the environment and and agricultural

00:53:36.320 land and other factors and then you also have uh record population growth so we had record

00:53:41.140 population growth in 2022 2023 back-to-back population grew by like 1.2 million people

00:53:48.080 which is like four percent of the or sorry it was uh between two and four percent of the population

00:53:52.200 depending on how you measured it and so that that obviously contributed a lot to excess demand and

00:53:56.540 the the um bank of canada even um put out a chart that showed a correlation between the you know

00:54:05.400 So the number of the magnitude of population growth alongside rent inflation, and they're basically correlated one to one.

00:54:13.600 So both your rents and your home values went up because there was excess demand for housing.

00:54:18.860 And at the same time, you know, young people were sort of coming of age.

00:54:22.560 Millennials wanted to move out of the city.

00:54:23.980 We had the pandemic.

00:54:24.640 We had some of the most aggressive lockdowns in the world.

00:54:27.920 And then so a lot of people were suburbanizing and there was just not enough houses.

00:54:34.240 We couldn't build quickly enough.

00:54:35.400 Our economy ironically is, you know, massively exposed to housing.

00:54:40.200 So we have a huge concentration of our GDP is in residential investment, yet we're not very efficient at building it.

00:54:50.400 And so this ultimately led to young people basically being priced out of the market, but older people who already own homes and have paid them off and whatever benefiting from the inflation that was taking place.

00:55:02.140 And so now we have, you know, the kind of flip side of that is you also have a massive exposure of the wealth or net worth of your older cohort that depends on this home equity to fund their retirement.

00:55:17.320 And so the government's sort of trapped.

00:55:19.420 It's like, do we want to let homes lose their value and, you know, and risk cutting into that nest egg of the older generation? 0.99

00:55:28.640 Because then you have to pay for the older generation. 0.84

00:55:30.800 who's going to take care of them exactly yeah yeah and i and i do think like if you look at

00:55:35.560 europe as an example because it seems canada is very much headed in that direction you know they

00:55:38.980 have some of the largest unfunded pension liabilities in the world like if i were to

00:55:42.700 really evaluate if i'm a policymaker why would i risk doing uh you know immigration at this level

00:55:47.580 and it and it makes you wonder if you know we're really trying to pad that younger generation to

00:55:52.840 make it more affordable to for us to have that transition into the largest cohort of you know

00:55:59.040 And this is the same thing in the U.S., the largest cohort of older, the older generation retiring that we've ever seen in history.

00:56:04.900 Are we going to be able to afford it?

00:56:06.220 But wouldn't that make sense if you were not bringing in populations, if you were bringing in populations that were more like Canada understood and and not bringing in such large populations like we are here that is relying on the government to pay for it?

00:56:24.380 yeah well i think this is one of the big issues with canada's system and you know we there's

00:56:31.160 different layers of loopholes that have been exploited in canada's immigration system that

00:56:36.860 allowed this to sort of happen and a lot of them have been closed but the the um you know the

00:56:42.200 population growth just moves to the next loophole so the loophole that we're on right now is asylum

00:56:46.060 and refugee status the one that they were on before was the idea that basically you could

00:56:51.260 become an international student and you could pay to move to Canada, get a degree and become

00:56:57.020 a permanent resident. And that was the path that was being sold to a lot of people that's since

00:57:01.040 been, you know, closed from a loophole basis. And, you know, they've made an effort to make

00:57:06.860 that policy more appropriate. The problem is that there are other policies downstream from it that

00:57:11.080 haven't been closed. And so the demand of people moving just basically shifts to now, you know,

00:57:16.660 now we have this, I did a video on my YouTube with somebody from the C.D.

00:57:20.420 Howell Institute who analyzed Canada's asylum system. And, you know,

00:57:23.640 there's a huge issues forming in that now.

00:57:26.500 Well, you also,

00:57:27.660 didn't you just open up a new path for citizenship and saying if you come and

00:57:32.300 you're in the Canadian army now, we'll give you citizenship.

00:57:37.340 I'm not sure, but I can, I can look into that one for sure.

00:57:39.560 Yeah, no, I'm, I'm pretty sure it happened in the last couple of weeks.

00:57:42.160 Tell me what's happening with the ESG stuff.

00:57:44.760 um i think over in british columbia there was a couple of weeks ago where things got really bad

00:57:50.660 because the 30 by 30 stuff is kicking in do you know anything about that i don't but in bc the

00:57:58.020 the the stuff that interests me is you know around around land use is we have a lot of this so so bc

00:58:04.240 was the only like subsovereign uh like a state or a province in canada that um actually took the

00:58:11.460 uh united nations like under a framework and made it um provincial law and it's really created this

00:58:16.360 huge mess around um indigenous land claims on land in in british columbia so you know you basically

00:58:22.880 have like the a big portion of the city of vancouver as an example and like large swaths

00:58:27.620 of lands like hundreds or thousands of acres that um indigenous groups are are um starting land

00:58:33.220 claims on and and you know i've spoken to the two top lawyers on this matter in the country

00:58:38.880 and they've both mentioned that basically this is a serious threat to property rights in that

00:58:46.160 market. So they're being appealed and this will ultimately go to the provincial court and likely

00:58:52.440 federal court. But it is, depending on how the laws are interpreted by our province and federal

00:58:58.140 government, this could set a pretty dangerous precedent for that to roll across the remainder

00:59:01.900 of Canada. So that's sort of becoming a mess in regards to property rights, at least on the

00:59:07.620 west coast right now in canada canadians starting to get and see that the policies of their

00:59:14.420 government are just killing them yeah it's interesting in canada like i i would say that

00:59:20.940 you know both of our um our political parties are relatively liberal um from probably an economic

00:59:27.700 and social perspective and and i think that um the challenge with this is that it seems like

00:59:34.740 the conservative movement in Canada has sort of abandoned the, you know,

00:59:37.840 the core tenant of individual responsibility, right.

00:59:41.480 That we are ultimately personally accountable for our circumstances.

00:59:44.460 And, and, and so I think they do realize this, you know,

00:59:49.380 a lot of Canadians, but they,

00:59:51.320 they don't realize that there's an element of control or impact that they can

00:59:58.440 have as voters, as, you know, members of society. And,

01:00:02.400 And so you saw that, like in our last election in April of last year, this a lot of complaining from from both sides.

01:00:11.320 But nobody really and young people especially. Right. Like young people are saying, you know, this isn't what we want.

01:00:17.280 We want to change. But then when you look at voter turnout, baby boomers decided and overwhelmingly liberal voters decided the outcome of Canada's election.

01:00:27.940 Whereas young people have so much, you know, on social media and on the internet are so active, yet they barely saw an improvement in voter turnout. And so, you know, this is where, you know, democracy becomes a bit of a headwind. 0.78

01:00:44.940 And if your voting population communicates and wants to participate in politics online and on social media, that's great.

01:00:53.900 But if they don't show up to vote and do something about it, you kind of end up with no change, right?

01:00:59.340 You get what you vote for.

01:01:00.080 And if you vote for nothing, you get nothing.

01:01:02.200 Daniel, thank you.

01:01:03.180 I appreciate it.

01:01:04.020 Thanks for bringing us up to speed.

01:01:05.480 We'll talk again.

01:01:05.980 the happiness index is what's going on in Canada right now is is showing up first because people

01:01:14.520 can't afford daily life that's what's happening and look at what he just said young people are

01:01:21.160 complaining but they're not getting involved that's going to be the death of all of all of

01:01:26.940 western countries because they're being taught to hate the country they're giving good reason to

01:01:33.680 see that it's not working and nobody's doing anything about it, but they are not organizing.

01:01:38.500 They are organizing behind slogans. They are not organizing behind things that actually can work

01:01:45.740 to solve those things. And that's the problem. That's what happened. I think that's what

01:01:51.320 happened in Virginia. How many people in Virginia do you know, Virginians, that didn't show up last

01:01:57.120 night? And now look at what you're looking at. More in just a second. Let me tell you about

01:02:01.740 Patriot Mobile. So your phone company probably talks a lot about coverage maps, unlimited plans, how many lines you can add and all those things. And they matter. But here's the question they don't ever ask or want to answer. Once they have your money every month, what do they do with it? Because some of the big mobile companies, the dollars you send them, they turn around and support causes and activism that you would never have anything to do with.

01:02:25.240 You're paying the bill.

01:02:26.660 You're funding the opposite of what you believe.

01:02:29.940 That's why I want you to look at Patriot Mobile.

01:02:31.740 They offer dependable service, competitive pricing, and access to all three major networks,

01:02:37.040 but they also stand for something different.

01:02:39.620 They support the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, our veterans,

01:02:43.840 the values that you embrace.

01:02:46.600 You need a phone.

01:02:47.540 You need phone service.

01:02:48.660 The real question is whether your monthly bill should work against you or alongside you.

01:03:32.620 what happened virginia why are you talking to the happiness guy why aren't you talking about

01:03:38.580 you know the southern poverty law center why you haven't mentioned what happened with

01:03:43.280 iran yesterday well i have i have and even if i haven't because i haven't mentioned iran i've

01:03:51.720 talked about the other things already but i'm talking about all of them at once people don't

01:03:56.740 see how connected everything is again our biggest problem is we are dividing ourselves

01:04:04.120 and not just between froming one another,

01:04:06.880 but dividing ourself and getting away

01:04:09.440 from who we actually are or want to be.

01:04:14.880 Who do you want to be?

01:04:16.780 Who do you want the nation to be?

01:04:19.700 It's not just going to happen.

01:04:22.160 You know, you could say,

01:04:23.300 I want to be a doctor someday,

01:04:24.380 but unless you take the steps to go to medical school,

01:04:27.080 you're never going to be a doctor.

01:04:29.640 I want to be happy.

01:04:31.280 I want to be prosperous.

01:04:33.120 Well, what steps are you taking?

01:04:35.880 And unfortunately, now you can say, I want to be prosperous.

01:04:40.900 I don't have to be rich.

01:04:42.280 I just want to be able to have a nice life for my family.

01:04:45.120 And you're taking all the steps, but you're taking the steps that I took when I was young.

01:04:51.660 Those steps don't work anymore because the world has changed.

01:04:56.880 So what are the steps you have to take?

01:04:59.060 Unfortunately, you have other steps you have to take that I didn't necessarily, that weren't imperative for me, and that is guard the system, understand the system, clean up the corruption, get the bad guys out of the way.

01:05:16.660 why is donald trump spending so much time on europe and the middle east because he knows

01:05:24.020 those two things one is draining us along with our own corruption here one is draining us of

01:05:29.800 our resources we're constantly having to worry about ukraine why should we worry about ukraine 0.69

01:05:34.400 that's their responsibility why should we have to worry about the middle east well because it's oil 1.00

01:05:40.980 quite honestly it's oil and they're the biggest exporter in terror we're never going to get out 0.97

01:05:46.600 of the Middle East unless we solve the oil problem, unless we solve the terror problem. 0.71

01:05:52.080 So what is the problem with oil? We're not producing it ourselves. Great. Produce oil. 0.75

01:05:58.500 Now we have other steps. It's not working at your gas pump because the oil we produce,

01:06:03.720 we have to send overseas because we can't refine it here. So we have to build refineries.

01:06:09.220 That's a whole different story. What is it you have to do? What are the steps you have to take

01:06:14.380 to fix it. It's easy to say the president needs to fix the country. He needs to fix the economy.

01:06:19.040 Well, how can you do that? You have to have oil. You have to invest in future tech, which is AI.

01:06:27.120 You have to reshore manufacturing. All of that stuff takes time. And if we don't start looking

01:06:33.720 at everything that we have to do, that I never had to do as a kid because I was living off what

01:06:40.040 my parents built. That is over. Now we have to build new things. You have to change your actions.

01:06:51.500 And what's really hard is you have to do it and not lose faith in the system overall. And that

01:06:58.000 system's not the old things that we built. It's the idea that all men are created equal and they

01:07:04.020 should be free. All right, back in just a second, let me tell you about Leaf Filter. You can learn

01:07:09.140 a lot about a house just by watching how water affects it for example when it rains does it you

01:07:13.760 know flow the way it should or does it pour over the edge pull near the foundation streak the siding

01:07:18.440 and turn a small problem into you know a scene of an opening scene of a much much bigger one

01:07:23.460 because water is patient it doesn't need drama it just keeps showing up until something fails

01:07:29.520 that's why i tell you about leaf filter l-e-a-f filter it's a gutter protection system designed

01:07:35.120 to keep leaves pine needles and debris out so water can move the way it's supposed to no constant

01:07:40.400 clogs no seasonal ladder routine no wondering what's happening up there every time a storm

01:08:29.080 welcome to the program

01:08:50.300 you know we're just talking about

01:08:52.520 Canada trying to show how

01:08:54.580 we need

01:08:56.600 to look deeper into all of our problems instead of saying housing prices are so high and it's

01:09:02.680 whatever blame whatever it's that why don't we look deeper into things you know people are growing

01:09:09.200 angry housing prices affordable health care loss of culture why why because of the political

01:09:15.940 decisions that were made to in in many cases to import huge population growth and that drove up

01:09:25.120 the price of everything the loss of culture why was that decision are we talking about that

01:09:32.000 and are we talking about what are we going to do to get that under control no instead we just argue

01:09:38.800 about you have a right to be a country without a border gas prices fuel prices heating prices

01:09:45.820 even groceries well blame it on trump because of the iran war well why why did he go to war

01:09:53.200 because we had terror and he said he was going to stop all foreign wars no he never said that

01:09:57.940 see this is a possible solution to be able to get ourselves i mean to fix the oil prices in

01:10:06.060 america at least you have to produce your own oil you have to refine your own oil and you have to

01:10:11.240 stop being held hostage by crazy people in the middle east so we have to go over to war all the 0.69

01:10:15.640 time i don't want to war for oil so the war in iran is a possible solution may not work

01:10:23.080 May not be the solution you would come up with, but it's at least a possible solution that the president chose.

01:10:30.640 If you want to solve the problem, you have to come up with a way to not be held hostage by crazy people.

01:10:39.120 You have to stop doing business on oil with unsavory characters like Russia or Iran.

01:10:44.700 You have to stop shutting down your own supply to oil. 0.77

01:10:48.920 Start drilling for your own resources.

01:10:51.320 open your nuclear power plants back up open your oil rigs back up but that's not what's happening

01:10:58.160 nobody's talking about that because they're getting more and more angry and i'll tell you

01:11:01.840 one place i worry about and one place i cheer for and pray for are the people in ireland they are

01:11:10.000 rising up and they have had enough of all of this but i don't know how this ends ben scallen

01:11:16.500 is with us he's grip media senior political correspondent uh he is uh a conservative

01:11:22.900 leading irish uh news outlet gripped is and he's here to tell us about what is actually happening

01:11:30.580 in ireland uh and what the protesters are doing today how is this going what is the reaction and

01:11:37.300 is there any progress ben welcome well thank you so much for having me going great to be here thank

01:11:43.500 you so what is happening currently on the ground with a protest in ireland so as you have no doubt

01:11:50.820 heard because it did make international press the last couple of weeks have been very eventful here

01:11:56.900 in the emerald isle we've seen massive blockades of major roads all over the country with truckers

01:12:04.680 and farmers in particular who are protesting over the price of petrol many of these are business

01:12:12.380 owners who are literally now operating at a loss where they can't even you know pay the bills let

01:12:19.800 alone make a profit or have any kind of a thriving business and in a country like Ireland that is so

01:12:26.760 known for its agricultural sector you know this is one of our major uh you know when you think of

01:12:33.480 Ireland you think of farming you know some of our agricultural products are the best in the world

01:12:39.460 And so this is a huge deal. And one of the elements of this, of course, is the Iran war. Needless to say, that's been the primary driver of fuel prices worldwide. But for many years now in Ireland, over 50 percent of motor fuel prices are purely comprised of government taxes and levies.

01:13:00.840 So when you fill up your car, over half of what you're paying is going straight into the state's coffers.

01:13:07.120 And so that's been the case for a long time.

01:13:09.420 People haven't been happy about it for a long time, but they've kind of just accepted it.

01:13:13.520 It's been a grumbling issue in the background that people have begrudgingly tolerated.

01:13:18.680 But then when the price of energy worldwide explodes and people are not able to make ends meet,

01:13:24.400 this has now become kind of the focal point where people are saying, well, why are we paying so much taxes?

01:13:28.580 and what are you going to do about it given that this is something that you can immediately do

01:13:33.000 to pull the ripcord and help every citizen in the state it's kind of like i think what they're

01:13:38.320 demanding is kind of like when we have a oil crisis we go into the strategic oil reserve and

01:13:42.920 it reduces the price some degree but with you controlling fifth the government controlling

01:13:48.780 50 of the price just through taxes you would think that it would be a no-brainer especially

01:13:53.680 when people are this unhappy just to go okay we're going to reduce it by 50 percent we you know we

01:13:59.180 have to have some of it but we're going to take 50 percent of the taxes and reduce them at least

01:14:03.340 temporarily why won't they do that well they did a small tax cut uh that many people who are in

01:14:10.600 these industries are saying is woefully inadequate and has just been eaten up by inflation almost as

01:14:15.800 quickly as it was put on and they for example just to give one uh practical example of a measure they

01:14:22.180 took we have annual scheduled carbon tax increases and the explicit purpose of this is to deliberately

01:14:31.100 force people out of their cars that was actually what one transport minister said back in 2019

01:14:36.520 to make it so unaffordable to drive your car that you're forced to take a bike or public transport

01:14:42.120 or get an electric vehicle or something like that so that is the express purpose of the policy is

01:14:47.760 to hurt you and lo and behold it's hurting you so um now that that's become uh very politically

01:14:55.940 thorny for the government they've postponed the carbon tax hike until october so they haven't

01:15:02.920 even said we're going to reduce carbon tax or we're not going to put carbon tax up they've

01:15:07.580 just kicked the can down the road by a few months but as many analysts have pointed out by this

01:15:12.320 point october is going to be coming into winter when energy prices are going to surge so you're

01:15:18.640 going to be hit with a particularly large bill bigger than you would ordinarily be hit with

01:15:23.500 just when you need energy the most so so that's where we are now it's it's not really uh satisfactory

01:15:30.520 so far as many of the protesters are concerned so if you're flying you know through europe they're

01:15:36.000 actually now saying the eu is saying we may not have enough jet fuel i really don't understand

01:15:42.000 how this is not going deeper to say to to the politicians and to the people of europe saying

01:15:49.500 wait a minute wait a minute we can't afford jet fuel we have a real problem everything stops

01:15:54.940 without jets flying we have a real problem and you're either manufacturing this to get us to

01:15:59.720 not fly and to not drive or you've made so many errors is anybody talking about opening up the

01:16:07.560 oil rigs again opening up drilling opening up this uh uh you know the system that will give you

01:16:14.840 cheaper energy there are people who are calling for that but the government is emphatic that we

01:16:20.780 will not be doing that you know glenn that in ireland we import 100 of the oil that's used

01:16:27.700 on the island we have one oil refinery but we don't actually generate any and it is estimated

01:16:34.320 by independent assessors that we have hundreds of millions of barrels of oil potentially off the

01:16:42.720 coast within our territorial waters but in 2020 the government actually banned oil exploration

01:16:49.280 so that you can't look for it offshore so that's potentially sitting there under the ground and

01:16:55.340 nobody is allowed to look for it or try to utilize that and at the same time we're importing it we

01:17:01.520 don't have any nuclear power because that's something that we haven't really even discussed

01:17:05.520 approaching here let alone actually implementing it yeah we will import the electricity that's

01:17:12.380 generated in nuclear countries like france so we are one of the most energy exposed countries

01:17:20.080 in europe and europe as a continent is incredibly energy exposed uh relative to a country like

01:17:26.840 america which obviously has its own domestic supply to this stuff so we're incredibly we were

01:17:32.080 doing we were doing the same thing until trump we were shutting it all down we were making it

01:17:36.640 impossible to get in our own energy and we were headed exactly the same way and thank god for

01:17:41.480 donald trump to say nope we're drilling drill drill drill we're pulling it up but we haven't

01:17:46.180 built a refinery here in so long everything we drill we have to sell overseas because we can't

01:17:52.440 refine its light sweet crude we can't refine it here because we don't build refineries uh so our

01:17:58.200 prices of gas are still up through the roof because all the oil we we pull we have to sell

01:18:03.180 to somebody else um ben the it seems like much of the west including here in america is on this

01:18:12.260 suicidal course that we just that that the policies that are being imposed are just pushing

01:18:19.660 us into suicide as nations or even a culture do you do you see hope on the other side do you think

01:18:27.980 things are going to change is this a straw that broke the camel's back or well the the protesters

01:18:34.880 here when they were blocking certain uh kinds of infrastructure as a form of protest the government

01:18:41.580 accused them of an act of national sabotage i wonder what kind of uh sabotage it is to

01:18:49.720 deliberately increase the price of energy on citizens with the express purpose of making

01:18:56.060 their life harder i think there's a lot of people in the crowd who would have called that an act of

01:19:00.380 national sabotage i'm not aware of another region outside of europe that does that given as you know

01:19:06.480 And as your listeners know, energy is the lifeblood of any kind of society or economy.

01:19:15.120 This is the essence of the modern world, how we are able to heat ourselves, feed ourselves, transport ourselves.

01:19:22.900 Without that, everything grinds to a halt.

01:19:25.360 And so the idea that you would go out of your way as a state to intentionally make it harder for people to utilize that seems absurd to me.

01:19:34.680 And, of course, they say if a government minister was sitting here that this is all being replaced with green energy.

01:19:43.080 But we've been pursuing that for decades now, and we're still in the position we're in.

01:19:48.620 So without even getting into, you know, you could have all the arguments you want about the efficacy of windmills and offshore wind and all these different renewable measures that they push.

01:20:00.900 But if that was all it was cracked up to be, I don't think we would be in the calamitous situation we're in now.

01:20:07.040 The results kind of speak for themselves.

01:20:10.560 I'm going over to England to speak at the Tommy Robinson rally.

01:20:17.020 And my wife is like, what should we expect?

01:20:20.020 I mean, how dangerous is it going to be?

01:20:21.460 And I'm like, it's going to be fine, honey.

01:20:22.900 It's going to be fine.

01:20:23.460 But the one thing that has crossed my mind is, you know, it's easy to blame Donald Trump for the price of oil.

01:20:33.380 And, I mean, it was his move that has caused all of this.

01:20:36.400 So, yes, in some ways it absolutely is our fault.

01:20:40.480 What is the population's view on America and Americans at this time?

01:20:47.700 Well, frankly, Ireland is very hostile to Donald Trump overall.

01:20:53.460 There are exceptions, of course, you're never going to get unanimity on somebody who's as polarizing as the U.S. president.

01:21:00.620 But I think there was a poll done not too long ago, which found that if Ireland had a vote in the U.S. presidential election, we would vote Democrats with a bigger margin than California.

01:21:13.660 So we would literally be the most liberal state in the U.S. if we were to have a vote in such things.

01:21:20.420 So, yeah, a lot of people blame Donald Trump.

01:21:23.720 And, you know, obviously there's a strong argument for that, given everything that's happened.

01:21:27.360 But I also think, you know, all the measures that we're discussing, climate measures, green energy measures,

01:21:36.000 all this recent crisis is doing is giving us a time machine-like glance into the future of what they would be hoping for us.

01:21:46.660 You know, how can you complain that Donald Trump is restricting our supply of oil when European leaders for decades have been deliberately trying to destroy their own supply of oil?

01:21:57.900 You know, isn't he doing our own job for us that you guys tell us is the objective of success of governments?

01:22:04.280 You know, you can't really blame him for delivering us into the utopia that we were all aiming for.

01:22:14.000 Good, good, good point.

01:22:15.500 Ben, thank you so much.

01:22:16.400 And, uh, we pray for your people and, uh, I hope it, it, it works out.

01:22:21.680 Um, we pray for your farmers.

01:22:23.180 I'm a, when I say I am a farmer, I own farmland and, and, uh, and cattle, a ranch, so I can

01:22:30.400 relate to what the farmer is going through.

01:22:33.340 Uh, and it is a really, really hard life.

01:22:36.600 You don't need anything else to make it even more difficult.

01:22:39.380 So we pray for you.

01:22:40.420 Thank you.

01:22:41.660 Thank you, Glenn.

01:22:42.500 You bet.

01:22:43.120 Uh, let me tell you about real estate agents.

01:22:44.580 I trust. Most people don't move because they're bored. They move because life moved first. It's

01:22:49.660 a new job of growing family. Kids are moving out, financial reset, whatever it is. Need less space,

01:22:55.160 want more land. Something changed. And that's how you have to move because your house that

01:23:01.020 fit yesterday doesn't fit today. And then people make a really simple and costly mistake. They

01:23:06.940 treat buying or selling a house like a simple errand. You pick any agent, you pick a sign,

01:23:11.920 you see what happens. You're not picking up dry cleaning. This is one of the biggest financial

01:23:18.640 decisions you'll ever have to make. That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust. I want to make

01:23:22.900 a way for you to connect with the agents who have been vetted for experience, professionalism. They

01:23:27.860 have a track record of actually getting results. People who know their markets, who know how to

01:23:33.080 guide you through the process the right way. When life moves, choose wisely. Please check out

01:23:38.880 realestateagentsitrust.com. We'll introduce you to a great agent in your area. The name

01:23:44.260 says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com. You're going to be thinking about that for a couple

01:23:52.520 minutes, huh? Glenn Beck will be right back.

01:24:08.880 so it is america reads the bible week um and last night from the oval office the president

01:24:19.600 read the bible and the media is apoplectic uh listen to what he read last night if my people

01:24:27.960 which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn

01:24:34.280 from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal

01:24:42.680 their land. Now my eyes shall be open and my ears attent to the prayer that is made in this place.

01:24:50.980 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house that my name may be there forever and my eyes and

01:24:57.740 And my heart shall be there perpetually.

01:25:01.980 And as for you, if you will walk before me as David, your father, walked and do according to all that I have commanded you and shall observe my statutes and my judgments, then will I establish the throne of my kingdom according to as I have covenanted with David, your father, saying there shall not fail you as a man.

01:25:27.740 to be ruler in Israel.

01:25:30.780 He goes on,

01:25:31.820 But if you turn away and forsake me and my commandments,

01:25:36.060 which I have set before you,

01:25:37.340 and you shall go and serve other gods and worship them,

01:25:40.100 then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land,

01:25:43.520 which I have given them.

01:25:44.820 And this house, which I have sanctified for not my name,

01:25:47.960 I will cast out of my sight.

01:25:50.080 And it'll be a proverb and a byword among all nations.

01:25:57.740 You might think a mattress is just a mattress, you know, something you buy, put in the bedroom, and then you don't think about it again unless it's time to replace it.

01:26:05.080 But that changes pretty quickly when you actually sleep on something that is built differently.

01:26:09.280 Ghostbed does not build mattresses like furniture.

01:26:12.020 They build what they call engineered sleep systems, health equipment designed for relief and recovery.

01:26:17.980 And once you understand that, everything starts to make more sense because your body isn't supposed to be fighting for comfort all night.

01:26:24.500 It is supposed to be recovering.

01:26:26.180 And when that's not happening, when you're waking up stiff or tossing and turning all night

01:26:30.100 or feel like you never really got rested, it's easy to blame everything

01:26:33.240 except the one thing that you're spending hours and hours and hours on every night, your mattress.

01:26:37.640 With GhostBed, you're going to notice the difference right away.

01:26:40.380 You get 101 nights to try it out at home.

01:26:42.960 If you don't feel the difference, send it back risk-free.

01:27:54.080 Hello, America.

01:27:55.120 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:56.600 There is a ton going on.

01:27:59.100 We have the latest on Iran.

01:28:01.020 Looks like there is an internal civil war inside of Iran that is going on. 1.00

01:28:06.720 That's a really good thing. 1.00

01:28:08.500 As long as we have Karg Island, they're toast. 1.00

01:28:11.260 It's only a matter of time. 0.99

01:28:13.300 FISE is up for renewal. 0.57

01:28:14.680 The SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, that is, I mean, that's an organ of a color revolution, I believe.

01:28:22.240 Virginia redistricting, the SAVE Act, all these things are happening all at once. 0.88

01:28:27.480 We're going to have an extra hour or half hour of the show right after we leave the air here.

01:28:32.420 I've just got a couple of things.

01:28:34.300 I'm going to propose something to settle this FISA thing, and I want to share it with you.

01:28:41.180 But time is of the essence, so we'll do it today.

01:28:43.860 Right after this hour, we will continue online at glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:28:49.700 I have Kevin McCarthy joining me now from the speaker of the, you know, a former speaker of the House.

01:28:57.340 Now, what happens with Virginia and the House?

01:29:00.800 What happens with the SAVE Act?

01:29:02.640 I also want to talk about Swalwell.

01:29:04.880 I mean, there was an interview that I saw recently from 2019 with McCarthy.

01:29:10.640 And he he said, you know, we knew about this.

01:29:14.320 You know, we know this is going on back in 2019.

01:29:18.040 Well, who is protecting him?

01:29:20.080 Why were they protecting him?

01:29:21.140 How does that work?

01:29:22.060 I mean, I think I know the answer to this, but we're going to talk to him about it in 60 seconds.

01:29:25.800 First, the convenience of modern American life sometimes complicates efforts to hold on to your own values.

01:29:32.720 Wasn't that long ago, if you wanted a good cell phone coverage, you had to pretty much go with the big boys, companies like Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.

01:29:39.580 And you took the service that you needed.

01:29:41.340 You paid the bill, and you hope not to think too hard what those companies were doing with those company profits.

01:29:45.740 For a long time, that's how it worked. You compromised a little for the sake of convenience because you felt like there wasn't any other option. Well, now there is. It's Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless company. They give you coverage and reliability that you would expect with access to all three major networks, but without asking you to fund companies that actively push your values that you don't share.

01:30:09.120 Instead, Patriot Mobile supports the faith and the family and the freedom values and

01:30:14.540 the principles that built this country that you do share.

01:30:17.460 You don't have to choose between what works and what you believe.

01:30:30.680 Kevin, welcome to the program.

01:30:31.940 How are you, sir?

01:30:34.160 Very good.

01:30:34.940 You?

01:30:35.560 I'm good.

01:30:36.320 It's a pleasure to have you on.

01:30:37.300 You know, I was just saying, I saw an interview that you did in, I think it was 2019, when you joined leadership, and Swalwell was in his sophomore year.

01:30:47.680 The Democrats knew about his relationship with the Chinese spy.

01:30:51.520 You were talking about it then.

01:30:52.900 That's incredible to me that nothing happened.

01:30:55.800 Nobody said it.

01:30:56.600 I tried to remove him.

01:30:59.080 I made a privilege motion.

01:31:01.160 And the Democrats, Pelosi, he's Pelosi's pet.

01:31:04.320 You've got to understand, to be on Intel, it's the hardest committee to get on.

01:31:08.640 Only the leader picks, okay, on both sides.

01:31:11.800 And as a sophomore, they're sitting in the minority.

01:31:14.220 There's not very many seats.

01:31:15.720 She elevates him.

01:31:17.420 The FBI then comes and says, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you've got a problem.

01:31:20.760 He's sleeping with a Chinese spy.

01:31:22.700 She gets the briefing, and Boehner, nothing happens.

01:31:27.620 I become leader.

01:31:29.080 I now have the right to the briefing.

01:31:30.820 I find out about it.

01:31:31.680 She takes the briefing with me, and I look at her and said, you can't keep him on.

01:31:36.740 She's now speaker.

01:31:38.080 You've got to put somebody else on.

01:31:40.100 And she wouldn't, so I made a motion, and she worked against it to keep him.

01:31:44.840 Why? 0.91

01:31:48.420 Unbelievable.

01:31:49.080 And then when I became speaker, I removed him.

01:31:51.160 But why did she keep him?

01:31:55.300 Because he was her protege.

01:32:00.160 She even elevated him to a position inside steering decides where all the committees, who gets what when they fight and all that.

01:32:07.960 She made him vice chair so he would do whatever she wanted.

01:32:12.040 Same thing with shift.

01:32:13.960 They all elevated him to make him something special and protected him. 0.69

01:32:20.220 I knew about the Chinese based upon the FBI, and I came forward with that. 1.00

01:32:24.820 That's why I removed him from Intel.

01:32:25.900 I didn't know he was drugging women, but I was told by Democratic Congresswomen, don't get around that guy.

01:32:33.800 He's creepy, right?

01:32:36.360 And so that's what people knew.

01:32:38.720 She defended him this whole time, kept elevating him.

01:32:42.560 When I removed him from Intel Committee, Hakeem Jeffries become leader.

01:32:50.000 He tried to reappoint, said wouldn't do it.

01:32:52.580 The San Francisco Chronicle that eventually came out with these stories criticized me for doing that, said I was just playing politics.

01:33:00.520 Think about the number of young women we could have saved had they not done things like that, that followed his removal.

01:33:09.060 So usually stuff happens like this and you put corrupt people in because if you're corrupt, you can control them.

01:33:17.420 They'll do exactly what you say because you'll say, no, you are doing that.

01:33:22.680 Otherwise, I destroy you.

01:33:24.340 I reveal everything I know.

01:33:25.880 Is that what was happening?

01:33:28.660 That's what I believe, because look what happened.

01:33:30.840 He didn't jump into the governor's race early.

01:33:33.700 You had Katie Porter in there that was rising.

01:33:36.620 Then all of a sudden, they dropped these videos on her because Pelosi and Gavin and Schiff, they didn't like Katie Porter.

01:33:45.360 Okay. 0.82

01:33:45.860 So she collapses.

01:33:47.420 Then all of a sudden, Swalwell gets into that race and the Democratic apparatus shift comes out.

01:33:55.440 Everybody gets behind him.

01:33:57.600 The CTA, the SEIU, they start giving him a lot of money, but they also put a lot in for a super PAC.

01:34:06.120 But there is one person in that group that doesn't endorse him, Nancy Pelosi.

01:34:11.240 when this comes forward okay right before it all when it first comes out she treats it like joe

01:34:19.080 biden protects joe biden the entire time when people know he's not all mentally there but the

01:34:25.040 moment the nation finds out she's the first one to remove him i believe she knew the other stories

01:34:32.400 because about right when i left i had a reporter come to me about a young democratic staffer

01:34:41.240 that had that had a problem with him i got her an attorney she didn't know i was the one who got an

01:34:46.680 attorney for um so i believe if i heard these stories pelosi had to have known that's why she

01:34:53.580 didn't endorse him for governor when he started getting when people started really looking into

01:34:57.400 it and then she went to knock them out once that once the paper printed it so

01:35:05.380 how many people do you think kevin are like this how much of the stuff because

01:35:13.720 you know we'll see stuff it's quite obvious something is wrong here how what what is the

01:35:19.640 percentage of people like this now i don't want people to say look there's a lot of good people

01:35:25.440 on both sides of the aisle a lot of people all the way through it's a it's a microcosm of society

01:35:31.800 congresses so you're going to have good and bad now i'm going to be fair i went to um we had a

01:35:39.120 member on the republican side mad gates and i stood up to mad gates he's the reason he made the motion

01:35:44.280 to remove me is because i would not stop the invest ethics investigation against them right

01:35:50.780 and lo and behold i was correct he did sleep with an underage girl now the other concern i have here

01:35:58.480 is on swalwell he has two really close friends one is a senator now gallegos and another is a

01:36:04.960 congressman gomez gallegos was his chairman of his campaign when he ran for president

01:36:10.560 gomez was the chairman of his race for governor they weren't just close they were together all

01:36:18.120 the time. The stories I heard about Swalwell, I'd hear about those two as well. How quickly they

01:36:24.920 ran once it got printed. And I had some of the Democrats come to me and say, how ironic that

01:36:30.740 these two are running because they believe they have the exact same problem. And they probably

01:36:36.740 thought they had the same kind of protection. They did. If the speaker, if Nancy Pelosi is

01:36:43.400 protecting you in the democratic caucus you're golden if she elevates you because she tells you

01:36:49.260 now you're the vice chair but this is who i want you to pick in a race of who gets the committee

01:36:53.880 he did it every time when kevin comes after you i'll get all the democrats to vote one way and

01:36:59.040 we'll protect you and then we'll elevate you when we don't like who's running for governor we want

01:37:03.920 you to run and they put all the political apparatus behind her and then what happens

01:37:10.340 Right after that, once the public knows it, it just flashbacks to Joe Biden.

01:37:15.880 Remember, I was the earliest one to come out and said, look, I met with the president.

01:37:20.860 He's not all there.

01:37:22.060 They criticized.

01:37:23.240 I worked with the Wall Street Journal.

01:37:24.920 We had to work for more than six months to make that story come out for the public.

01:37:29.620 They all attacked everybody.

01:37:31.600 They put all the talk shows, Morning Joe and all that, like something is wrong with me.

01:37:37.000 and then once he gets on stage for the nations to see it they're the first ones to run from and

01:37:42.020 said he's got to go they knew and been lying to the american public this whole time so one of the

01:37:48.220 cnn came out and they said you know this is just good gumshoe journalism that finally exposed this

01:37:54.900 and i said that's not i don't even think swalwell is the story i mean it is a story but that's not

01:38:00.840 the story the story is how who did know all these years who did know this stuff was going on right

01:38:10.020 it's the cover-up of this yeah and they're letting nancy pelosi oh no i didn't know about it

01:38:17.760 you know what's so egregious to me is something's happening in the republican group

01:38:25.060 Tony Gonzalez

01:38:27.180 I hope that man get elected

01:38:29.280 he faltered

01:38:30.660 but I was the first one to say

01:38:32.900 he needed to resign before the election

01:38:35.100 not to cover him

01:38:36.760 and then after the election comes out

01:38:38.600 and then people want to

01:38:39.700 this is a challenge that we have

01:38:41.960 how are we

01:38:44.180 I'd be remiss in not asking you

01:38:46.320 how are the Republicans going to do

01:38:48.240 in the midterms and then post Trump

01:38:50.760 well right now

01:38:54.560 I'm very concerned, especially about the House.

01:38:59.200 And there's a couple measurements.

01:39:02.280 Yeah, Virginia.

01:39:03.740 Now, to me, I do not like what's happening in this redistricting

01:39:08.340 because now we're letting politicians pick their voters

01:39:11.000 and so the voters pick who they want to represent.

01:39:13.420 I'm opposed to all that.

01:39:15.520 I've put my own money in against California.

01:39:18.020 I sent $100,000 for the Virginias.

01:39:21.440 We did.

01:39:22.080 Now, one positive thing here, when everybody's saying negative, we did increase Republican vote by 3% from the 24 presidential.

01:39:32.020 If we were able to do that in an election, we would be in a much better place.

01:39:35.800 But if you look historically, whoever wins on the off-the-election for governor in New Jersey and Virginia, if the Democrats win both, historically they flip the house.

01:39:44.580 If Republicans win one, we flip the house.

01:39:46.400 But if you look at that delegate races, there were eight Republicans who were running for re-election in Virginia, and they were in seats that Harris carried in the presidential.

01:39:58.560 They all lost.

01:39:59.680 There were five Republicans running for re-election in those seats that Trump carried.

01:40:04.140 We lost five of them up to 4.5 percent.

01:40:07.980 So that concerns me.

01:40:09.360 If you look at the presidential race, President Trump carries all the swing states.

01:40:14.360 He wins the popular vote, which is very big for Republicans, a president, and they lost seats in the House.

01:40:22.440 Four years prior, when we didn't win the presidency, it was the first time since 1994 not one Republican incumbent lost, and we beat 15 Democrats.

01:40:33.240 So how do we win then and lose now?

01:40:37.220 That means President Trump did very well, but the party didn't.

01:40:40.200 And if you take it a step further, in the last 70 races for the Senate in the presidential year, 69 of the 70 states, however they vote for president, that party wins.

01:40:52.700 But this time, President Trump won Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, but the Republicans didn't win those Senate seats.

01:41:00.440 So they're underperforming.

01:41:01.920 And then when I'm watching the highest number of retirements, kind of in modern history, the number of times we're losing discharge petitions, in three weeks we lost more discharge petitions than we have in 30 years.

01:41:15.960 And you've got to understand what that is.

01:41:17.720 It's a rule that if you get 218 members of either party to sign a discharge petition, it's about one bill, that bill automatically comes to the floor.

01:41:28.920 when you do that you're turning the floor over to the minority in my entire political career in

01:41:36.980 congress only one time did it cut a discharge petition go and the speaker at that time republican

01:41:42.720 speaker wanted it to happen now they just had a discharge petition that bill passed that was

01:41:48.640 authored by one of the aoc crowd unbelievable so that's a bad sign you're not working together

01:41:56.800 And then when the government, when the Democrats shut down the government, you're only given 24 months to have a majority.

01:42:03.780 The Senate made in session.

01:42:05.460 The House did not.

01:42:06.600 I know.

01:42:07.100 If I'm in the minority and the House shuts down, the minority is winning because you're not passing.

01:42:12.800 You're giving up two months of your 24 months.

01:42:15.860 I know.

01:42:16.140 I know.

01:42:16.440 Why wouldn't you be in there passing things every single day?

01:42:19.940 Put the 80-20 issues on the floor.

01:42:22.680 And you know what?

01:42:23.280 Come November, you'd show the Democrats voted against this.

01:42:25.720 So I would show. Go ahead. Democrats voted to keep Swalwell run on that, too.

01:42:31.980 Let me I only have about a minute left. Let me ask you, what am I missing on Thune? Because none of this makes sense on the voter ID stuff.

01:42:40.920 Why isn't that going through with as popular it is as it is? What needs to happen?

01:42:46.660 OK, so the Senate has different roles in the House. The House is pure. Whoever has the majority.

01:42:52.140 I don't like all this Republican on a Republican fight when we're trying to keep it, okay?

01:42:57.660 I'll just say up front.

01:42:58.660 When I watch others on the outside fighting, you've got to unite.

01:43:03.380 And what I would do, Thune wants it to pass through.

01:43:06.720 What Thune has is some members who may not and has some Democrats who may not.

01:43:11.700 So you need more votes than just Republicans.

01:43:14.380 Otherwise, you've got to change the rules.

01:43:17.240 That's the decision where you want to go.

01:43:19.160 But the Save America Act, it is so popular with Republicans and Democrats, I would take it by pieces then, okay?

01:43:27.160 And I would put each piece one by one, okay?

01:43:31.060 Voter ID, just put that up and see all who would vote for or not.

01:43:35.460 Then add the next piece.

01:43:36.900 And then what you can do, you can travel it all back together after they vote for it.

01:43:41.200 But if you keep it all together, I've watched this on difficult bills, and everybody wants to pick one thing they can't be for.

01:43:48.680 Okay, then let's put it piece by piece and really show the American public and jam it right at you and then piece it back together and show, no, it's the way to go.

01:43:59.820 You've got to think outside the box and you've got to put harder pressure.

01:44:04.040 That's the way I would look at it.

01:44:06.020 Kevin, great to talk to you.

01:44:07.220 Kevin McCarthy, former U.S. House Speaker.

01:44:10.040 Appreciate it, sir.

01:44:58.700 Um, but I will tell you, it has broken the back of my pain in my hands.

01:45:04.220 Like nothing, nothing ever did.

01:45:06.360 Nothing worked.

01:45:07.380 My wife convinced me to start taking relief factor and it is work this year as we celebrate

01:45:11.700 250 years of freedom ask yourself are you living freedom from your pain that you deserve try the

01:45:22.160 800 the number four relief 10 seconds station

01:45:25.700 Jason and Ricky, I know I've got one more segment here, another half hour.

01:45:42.720 I have John Solomon coming up here in just a second.

01:45:44.740 We're going to talk about a few things.

01:45:46.380 What have I missed so far?

01:45:48.900 There's so much to talk about.

01:45:50.380 What have I missed that we've got to jam in here?

01:45:52.860 jason jason hey glenn uh gosh man there's just so much stuff today i mean there was the fbi on

01:46:02.240 the fbi uh the new case that they were spying on the gop i've talked about that a little bit

01:46:07.300 to the insiders um i thought just they must have been talking about arctic frost they had to have

01:46:13.400 been just more details leaking out bit by bit but it was actually something completely different

01:46:17.780 they're calling it Operation Rampart 12. What is this one? So pretty much the same thing. But

01:46:23.280 what's crazy is the predication that was used to start Biden's DOJ and FBI to spring into action

01:46:29.260 on this. It sounds like it was just rumors that spilled out from other Democrats that said, hey,

01:46:34.840 we think that you guys should look into some of these Republicans. And so they did, apparently.

01:46:41.440 uh i it just makes me wonder glenn if if these people ever do get power again just based off of

01:46:48.740 what they have done the little things that are leaking out now about it and we still don't really

01:46:53.760 see any kind of movement to ensure this does not happen again i mean what the heck look at what

01:46:59.400 you know look at uh spanberger what she said you know she ran as a moderate and look what she's

01:47:05.820 done they're not saying they're going to be moderate on any of these things now they're

01:47:09.760 saying that they are there's going to be a purge you know they're going to uh get rid of the

01:47:14.700 filibuster there i mean they are going to do all of it they're going to do all of it uh and i think

01:47:21.380 there's real trouble coming my gosh if we get if we get the house the house or if we lose the house

01:47:27.680 the house is going to do nothing but impeachment for two years if you keep the senate it won't go

01:47:32.560 anywhere but it'll just be non-stop impeachment and scandal and everything else the whole time

01:47:38.980 Yeah, I hesitate to call impeachment the bare minimum.

01:47:41.840 But I mean, I think, yeah, that's just part of the plan.

01:47:44.060 I was just talking also to the insiders about, you know, there were comments from James Carville on don't talk about it.

01:47:49.820 You know, just do it on day one.

01:47:51.480 He's saying to make two more states, D.C. and Puerto Rico, and pack the Supreme Court.

01:47:56.300 Now, that's just James Carville just saying this.

01:47:58.960 But just a few days later, the New York Times writes this article basically making the case that the Supreme Court is partisan.

01:48:05.020 Why are you doing that unless you're setting up this big push to pack the Supreme Court if you do get power again?

01:48:10.880 You pack the Supreme Court. That is the last and final step to a dictatorship, to a banana republic. 0.77

01:48:18.200 Once you start messing with the Supreme Court and the numbers, history shows every time that leads to a failed state.

01:48:27.200 It's truly terrifying what they are openly talking about now.

01:48:32.220 Most people think of sleep at the end of the day, but it's not.

01:48:35.020 It's the start of the next one, because tomorrow often depends on what happens tonight.

01:48:39.180 You know, whether you wake up clear-headed or foggy, whether you have energy or you're running on fumes by 10 in the morning, whether you feel ready for the day or you're already behind.

01:48:48.020 That's why I tell you about Z Factor from Relief Factor.

01:48:50.880 It goes beyond melatonin.

01:49:09.940 because you have to build up a routine of sleeping.

01:49:13.400 Georgia wrote in.

01:49:14.460 She said that she sleeps great. 0.89

01:49:15.940 She gets up early and gets an early start every day.

01:49:20.000 Flory said, great product, no morning grogginess.

01:50:03.020 welcome to the glenn beck program there is man so much to deal with today we uh lucky enough to 0.93

01:50:20.400 have john solomon with us today he is one of my favorite uh journalists um he is a guy who pisses

01:50:26.840 off everybody on all sides and uh that's that's how you know he's a good journalist because he

01:50:32.460 lets the chips fall where they may. He started Just the News. He's the CEO and editor-in-chief

01:50:36.960 of Just the News. Don Solomon, welcome to the program. How are you? Yeah, doing well, Glenn.

01:50:41.880 Good to be with you. Good, good. I want to start with the SPLC. How airtight is this case?

01:50:50.660 Yeah, it seems to be pretty airtight. They have specific transactions, about $3 million

01:50:55.540 in transactions that the government has traced through bank records and wires to people who

01:51:02.440 who were in extremist groups, people like the KKK and others, that were acting allegedly

01:51:08.340 as informants for the SPLC, and the question will become here, does that constitute fraud?

01:51:15.060 If you're SPLC and you say your job is to fight hate, but you have delivered money to

01:51:19.640 people who are members of hate groups without the controls that an FBI or Justice Department

01:51:24.740 would have with a cooperating informant, I have you committed fraud, but the wire transactions

01:51:29.940 are pretty clearly laid out in the indictment.

01:51:32.980 And this is an extraordinary flipping of the script of SPLC.

01:51:38.460 This is a group that grew its fame by standing alongside those who were being discriminated

01:51:44.660 against in the 50s, 60s and 70s during the civil rights movement.

01:51:48.760 Today they stand accused of funding the very people who continued to espouse hate in America.

01:51:55.840 And I think that the notion that a nonprofit could have an informant system moving monies to these groups is troubling to a lot of people that I've talked to in the last couple days, even if it was well-intentioned, probably not allowed for under the tax code under which they're constituted, the 501c3 tax code.

01:52:15.600 I mean, I know I run a 501c3, and I don't think I, I think it would be pretty obvious that I shouldn't open bank accounts under false names and wire money to really bad guys.

01:52:27.380 I think it would be bad.

01:52:27.900 Yeah, that's it.

01:52:29.000 That's it.

01:52:29.620 Yeah.

01:52:29.900 So USA Today, I think, is carrying water for them.

01:52:33.120 This is what it says.

01:52:34.040 The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted for paying sources to infiltrate hate groups, a tactic used by federal agencies for decades.

01:52:41.980 But the key here is they weren't a federal agency.

01:52:45.600 That's exactly right. That's the important part.

01:52:48.040 What are the safeguards? What separates them from the federal agency being allowed to do that?

01:52:53.500 Well, first, the federal agencies, when they do this, are often under the authorization of a federal court.

01:52:59.680 There is civil liberties protections considered.

01:53:02.300 And when identities are used, they're approved under lawful measures.

01:53:07.160 Here, the SPLC decided it was going to be an FBI light, for lack of a better word.

01:53:14.140 And you don't have the right to create fictitious accounts.

01:53:17.840 There's nothing in the bank laws that say, hey, you can make a fake account if you're doing SPLC work.

01:53:23.380 And I think it, I think, and also keep in mind where this was filed.

01:53:27.680 This was filed in Alabama.

01:53:28.980 It's a no-nonsense state.

01:53:30.460 It's going to be a tough jury for the SPLC to face.

01:53:33.200 But you and I can't create a fake bank account, nor can the SPLC.

01:53:36.860 Only the government can under the direction of a court and under very tight regulation that protects civil liberties.

01:53:43.020 And here, there are some really serious concerns about civil liberties, too, which is when a nonprofit group rises to government-type work without supervision, do they risk harming someone's civil liberties?

01:53:54.400 So is there any evidence at all that they were working in tandem with the FBI, DOJ, or deep state?

01:54:01.700 Well, we know that the FBI in the Chris Wray era particularly relied on SPLC to identify hate groups.

01:54:08.320 Remember that SPLC tried to suggest that Moms for Liberty was a hate group.

01:54:12.460 I think they flagged Charlie Kirk's group.

01:54:15.640 A lot of conservatives felt like those were extreme labels that didn't belong on either of those groups.

01:54:21.240 The FBI often in the past relied on SPLC to identify hate groups, oftentimes to the detriment of the FBI.

01:54:29.180 That's why we probably had the problems with going after Latin Catholics and Latin mass Catholics in parents and school board meetings. 0.52

01:54:38.040 Now, I'm not suggesting SPC directly funded those or impressed those, but they created

01:54:43.580 a non-profit system that the FBI would listen to, and they were all on the far left.

01:54:47.820 And over time, the far left just used these designations to hang nasty signs and Hester

01:54:52.920 print A's on conservative groups they just didn't like.

01:54:56.520 And so, Kash Patel comes in, he ends those relationships, and then in the course of ending

01:55:01.840 those relationships, he found out what the FBI knew, which was, hey, these guys are setting

01:55:05.740 up fake bank accounts and working.

01:55:07.640 date we haven't seen any documents that suggest the fbi authorized a non-profit to do so and it's

01:55:13.400 probably unlikely given the the code of law so was it most most likely that they just the splc

01:55:21.240 just knew that the fbi will turn a blind eye because we're doing their work we're helping

01:55:25.880 them yeah we'll see what their defense is i don't have a good sense of what it is the splc of 2026

01:55:31.320 is not the same SPLC of the 1960s and 70s.

01:55:35.240 And so these groups evolve

01:55:36.920 and sometimes they get too big for the britches

01:55:39.160 and we'll see where a jury comes down.

01:55:41.740 But it is kind of a remarkable thing

01:55:44.160 to think that the SPLC was sending money to hate groups

01:55:46.640 so that they could essentially be more hateful

01:55:49.100 in hopes of being able to spy on that hate.

01:55:52.020 It just doesn't seem like the right sort of system

01:55:54.820 from a common sense standpoint.

01:55:55.960 So does this, I mean,

01:55:58.760 at least this one was announced by the DOJ

01:56:01.240 I mean, you know, it looks like we're going to prosecute here.

01:56:05.040 More investigations on nonprofits coming?

01:56:09.200 Yeah, I think we're about to enter into, we have MAGA, we have MAHA, we have all these great acronyms.

01:56:14.280 I think we're about to enter into a period of MAAA, make America accountable again.

01:56:19.600 I think with Pam Bondi moved aside, the speed at which the Justice Department will move on things that have been working in the system for months is picking up.

01:56:27.840 And so there'll be more nonprofits that were doing things that probably are not allowed

01:56:32.160 under the tax code.

01:56:33.800 If you incorporate yourself to say, we want a tax exemption because we're going to do

01:56:37.760 public good, and you obstruct law enforcement proceedings on the streets of Minnesota or

01:56:42.580 somewhere else, you're probably in danger of having committed fraud.

01:56:46.480 So I would look and see, I'm watching, I think there'll be more indictments in the nonprofit

01:56:51.520 realm.

01:56:52.520 Then we're looking at those who may have given false testimony or obstructed Congress.

01:56:56.200 We know John Brennan was referred for that.

01:56:58.340 James Comey was targeted for that.

01:57:00.540 I think those are on the table right now.

01:57:02.640 Then those who may have gone and gotten phone records and pierced the privacy of individuals, they're next in line.

01:57:09.700 So this line keeps moving.

01:57:10.920 And then I think in the summer and fall, we're going to talk a lot more about a case called Operation Round River.

01:57:17.300 It may be the most troubling of the four.

01:57:20.200 Oh, my gosh.

01:57:21.720 Yeah.

01:57:22.140 Round River.

01:57:22.860 Just remember that name.

01:57:24.040 What we believe it is.

01:57:25.860 Yeah.

01:57:26.200 So it falls between Crossfire Hurricane and then Plasmic Echo and Arctic Frost.

01:57:33.840 Plasmic Echo and Arctic Frost are the things that evolve into Jack Smith's investigations.

01:57:38.700 The classified documents is Plasmic Echo.

01:57:41.140 Arctic Frost is the idea.

01:57:42.460 Years later, we're going to go back and charge President Trump with a conspiracy because he and his people wanted to have alternate electors.

01:57:50.240 Now, it's important in that Arctic Frost, which there was a great hearing on yesterday, two times in history before this.

01:57:56.200 presidential candidates did submit alternate electors to Congress 1960 John Kennedy 1876 Sam

01:58:02.640 Tilden neither time were those considered criminal acts but in Donald Trump's world he's considered a

01:58:08.280 criminal for doing that the third time that's what our crosses but between that when when a Russia

01:58:13.420 collusion and and crossfire hurricane was ending the FBI opened up a new investigation called

01:58:18.860 Round River and its goal was to neutralize anyone who would dare suggest that there was a corrupt

01:58:24.180 relationship between joe biden hunter biden and the ukrainian government or the ukrainian company

01:58:28.720 burisma and to treat people who talked about it with certain speech parameters as national

01:58:34.660 security threats and i'm working hard to get those files declassified and i think that's going to be

01:58:39.960 the most troubling because i believe if if what we're being told is true and i want to check it

01:58:44.060 until we get it there there may have been speech parameters as the reason you were targeted if you

01:58:48.400 said something you might have been assessed the security threat as a security threat by the fbi

01:58:52.840 that would be very troubling. I've seen some evidence in court filings in the last few days

01:58:57.540 that entire law firms had their client records taken secretly under this investigation or spinoffs

01:59:03.600 from it. You know, you're supposed to have some privacy when you have a relationship with you and

01:59:07.760 your lawyer. So we'll see where that leads. But all the people I've talked to in government think

01:59:12.200 that Round River may be the most jaw-dropping of the four code name investigations that targeted

01:59:17.460 Donald Trump and his followers. So talk to me about Tulsi Gabbard. You said, you know,

01:59:21.420 So things may move faster now that Tulsi Gabbard has moved aside.

01:59:25.520 But, I mean, she just released some pretty powerful documents. 0.54

01:59:29.220 Yeah, no, no, Pam Bondi.

01:59:29.480 I'm sorry.

01:59:30.000 Okay, okay, okay.

01:59:30.820 Yeah, Pam Bondi. 0.97

01:59:31.060 Pam Bondi moved aside, yeah.

01:59:31.940 Okay, good, good.

01:59:32.520 Yeah, Tulsi's been a fantastic, I mean, listen, I've had to, you know,

01:59:36.900 we've had to work with a group because sometimes the intelligence committee

01:59:39.720 isn't prone to transparency.

01:59:41.840 But she listened to our arguments, and she has been great,

01:59:44.900 and she's, I think, carefully and wisely declassified some very important things.

01:59:49.660 Really important things.

01:59:50.780 Yeah, I go through the elections. What is what are we missing from the documents that she released related to the impeachment?

01:59:59.620 So I think we have most of it now. We've identified a lot of the players who had code names in those documents.

02:00:05.120 We identified witness to today as a former NSA employee who clearly was anti-Trump.

02:00:09.640 So we now know all the players and she's made a criminal referral.

02:00:12.780 And I think the Justice Department will move on that quickly, determine if crimes are committed, if they're still in the statute of limitations.

02:00:19.260 Does there need to be a conspiracy charge?

02:00:21.380 I think she gave us the whole bundle.

02:00:23.120 Are we still thinking about a grand conspiracy?

02:00:25.300 Because it seems to all fit to that.

02:00:27.900 Yeah.

02:00:28.420 Yeah, I think that's why Joe DiGenova was brought down to Fort Pierce.

02:00:32.860 I broke that story on Saturday.

02:00:34.360 And that's an important moment.

02:00:36.140 You have a guy, one of the few lawyers in the history of this company to hold the title of U.S. attorney, independent counsel, special prosecutor.

02:00:43.860 three times in his life he's been asked to run major major criminal enterprise investigations

02:00:49.380 you bring him in down to florida you mean business and he's a no-nonsense get it done

02:00:53.620 sort of guy he's clearly conservative clearly likes donald trump but at the end of the day

02:00:58.580 what he's most famous for as an independent prosecutor was not charging people who he didn't

02:01:02.820 think committed crimes he's not a guy that's going to charge a fake crime he's always been

02:01:06.980 honest about that but if he did commit a crime he knows how to bring a conspiracy case and so

02:01:11.220 So you look at how he brought the Marion Barry corruption scandal in the 1980s under Ronald

02:01:16.440 Rake, a really good conspiracy-type investigation.

02:01:19.280 So he's got the experience, the wherewithal, and the independents to go make the decisions,

02:01:23.580 sort the wheat from the chaff.

02:01:26.100 There's no doubt that the Florida grand jury in Fort Pierce is looking at the last 10 years

02:01:32.080 as an ongoing conspiracy, a wash, rinse, repeat cycle.

02:01:35.740 Democrat has a problem. 1.00

02:01:36.960 Hillary Clinton has a Russia problem.

02:01:38.760 Democrats create fake narrative, hang Russian shingle on Donald Trump and investigate Donald 0.96

02:01:43.380 Trump, potentially violating his civil liberties and those around him.

02:01:46.900 Joe Biden has a Ukraine problem.

02:01:49.460 Wash, rinse, repeat.

02:01:50.440 We're going to hang our Ukraine problem on Donald Trump, start an investigation, neutralize

02:01:54.620 his people, potentially violate their civil liberties.

02:01:57.100 Joe Biden has a classified documents problem.

02:01:59.280 They find him by the Corvette in the UPenn office as well.

02:02:02.940 And then they're going to hang a classified documents case on President Trump. 0.97

02:02:06.620 And then Joe Biden has a mental acuity problem. It becomes very obvious in 23 he's got a problem.

02:02:11.520 And so Jack Smith's Arctic Frost sort of invents a different concept, which is, well, we were thinking about the violence at the Capitol.

02:02:17.820 We're not going to charge the president with that, but we are probably going to charge him for conspiring to look at alternate electives, even though it's been done twice in our country, as a criminal conspiracy.

02:02:29.460 Every time the Democrats had a liability, they used the power of government intelligence and law enforcement and prosecution to project that problem onto Republicans and make it a liability.

02:02:39.860 Along the way, there's a lot of civil liberty rights and civil rights and liberties that probably are violated.

02:02:44.540 And I think that's the theory of the conspiracy case.

02:02:47.280 We'll see if a grand jury buys it.

02:02:49.220 John, always good to have you on.

02:02:50.440 Thank you so much.

02:02:51.500 Great honor.

02:02:52.100 Thank you.

02:02:52.640 John Solomon, Just the News.

02:02:54.240 If you don't get your news from Just the News, you should.

02:02:56.380 Go to justthenews.com, justthenews.com, and you'll find John and all of his.

02:03:01.860 It's a site that I check every single day.

02:03:03.700 I think they do excellent work.

02:03:05.960 All right, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

02:03:08.540 You know, some people will spend months preparing for a vacation that they take once.

02:03:12.240 Sometimes those, you know, same people will spend maybe 10 minutes choosing the person who's supposed to help them buy a house.

02:03:18.820 Think about that.

02:03:19.400 One decision involves sunscreen and airport snacks, and the other one involves hundreds of thousands of dollars, timing, negotiations, offers, and everything else.

02:03:28.380 You need to make sure you have the right person.

02:03:31.660 Otherwise, it's the next chapter of your life.

02:03:33.960 It could go sideways.

02:03:35.400 That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.

02:03:37.400 I wanted to create a network of agents who have already been vetted for experience and professionalism and have a proven track record.

02:03:43.860 So it would take the guess out when the stakes are high.

02:03:47.060 So the right thing to do is just go to realestateagentsitrust.com and meet one of these people.

02:03:54.420 They know the market.

02:03:55.660 They know how to price your home.

02:03:57.060 They know how to sell your home in a tough market.

02:04:00.240 The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:04:03.660 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:04:07.940 Glenn Beck is back after this.

02:04:16.440 it's the family and friends event at shoppers drug mart get 20 off almost all regular priced

02:04:27.880 merchandise two days only tuesday april 28th and wednesday april 29th open your pc optimum app to

02:04:34.840 get your coupon

02:04:46.440 so i'm going to uh do an extra half hour of the show today because we had so much jammed in and

02:04:55.420 i really wanted to go and do the pros and cons of faiza because i think this faiza argument

02:05:02.960 we have a real problem with faiza obviously and this is not something that was born after

02:05:09.600 september 11th this was born out of the church committee in the 1970s and it was born to be

02:05:15.500 able to control the spying and it is just made things worse. And I have a, I have a solution

02:05:24.600 for it because I think, I think we can't deny anybody who says that, uh, Oh, we don't need

02:05:31.200 FISA. We don't need to spy outside of the, you know, outside of the United States and figure

02:05:35.520 out what's going on and what's coming in here. You're fooling yourself. We have to know what's

02:05:41.640 going on. But we have to be really very careful on what's happening inside. And you should not

02:05:48.420 be able to spy on American citizens without the highest, highest standard. And so I'm both for

02:05:57.360 and against all of this stuff, as I think anybody reasonable could look at both sides. And I will

02:06:02.480 lay it out for you here in a minute. But the problem is not oversight. The problem is punishment.

02:06:12.620 And I laid this out for my staff today, and they were like,

02:06:15.780 are you sure you want to go on the air with that right now?

02:06:17.820 And I'm like, yeah.

02:06:19.280 And they're like, maybe you should rethink that.

02:06:21.060 And I'm like, nope, not going to rethink it.

02:06:22.980 I just ran out of time.

02:06:23.820 I may share it tomorrow or at least pieces of it tomorrow.

02:06:27.260 But nope, I'm absolutely sure that I mean what I say and say what I mean.

02:06:33.460 And so we'll talk about that.

02:06:34.800 Also, you'll get that coming up in about two minutes.
