Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's American Giant. There are so many American Giants amongst us.
00:00:04.180
One of them, of course, is our mom. Thank goodness that we all had a mom, good or bad.
00:00:12.360
Otherwise, we wouldn't have been born because men can't have babies anyway.
00:00:18.820
Moms generally are selfless, caring, loving and and kind.
00:00:24.940
My mom made me who I am. Abraham Lincoln said something along those lines.
00:00:31.720
Get her something special this Mother's Day from American Giant.
00:00:35.220
American Giant, they make the best hoodie ever.
00:00:38.760
They make great quality clothing for spring and summer in a variety of colors.
00:00:43.340
And they use cotton that's grown here in America, milled, cut, sewn here in America.
00:00:51.040
This Mother's Day, let your mom know you think she's an American Giant.
00:01:25.460
We've got to stand together, it's the course of mine.
00:01:39.800
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:58.440
Now, unless you're literally a zombie, you probably don't enjoy going through your day,
00:02:05.360
But it's hard sometimes when you're not getting enough sleep at night.
00:02:12.940
My wife has a hard time getting to sleep at times.
00:02:17.700
what good news are you going to get tomorrow morning?
00:02:26.800
Just like regular Relief Factor that takes your pain,
00:02:33.420
Blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress,
00:02:47.260
$20 to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment as you drift away to sleep
00:02:54.980
Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-RELIEF.
00:03:03.480
Dream big, sleep tight with Relief Factor Sleep.
00:03:16.800
Everything is good when you're part of the team.
00:03:37.060
Started by this woman, Donica Hudson, that is, she thought,
00:03:51.780
And it was, it's amazing how everybody thinks they're powerless.
00:04:01.400
Here's just a woman, exactly what Billy Graham told me would happen.
00:04:11.660
She didn't even know really what a covenant really was.
00:04:14.700
And she started feeling this and researching it.
00:04:27.740
I think there's a big God movement that is coming.
00:04:33.560
And it was an honor to be there last night and hold their arms up,
00:04:44.720
I'm telling you, if we just change our attitude
00:04:57.620
even the people who are trying to persecute us,
00:05:03.440
And just like any parent, he wants all of us back.
00:05:34.180
treat tents on public sidewalks as a private residence.
00:05:39.100
And if you harass them at all or disturb them at all,
00:06:02.160
I talked to a reporter yesterday who went to Portland
00:06:10.000
And was talking to people who had tents in these tent cities
00:06:20.060
Some of these organizations are just putting empty tents up
00:07:02.000
I'm almost insane with my hatred for Woodrow Wilson category.
00:07:08.880
You don't really have a problem with Mother's Day.
00:07:13.480
Uh, apparently, uh, apparently, uh, some companies are sending out a note
00:07:21.160
saying Mother's Day is a sensitive time and a challenging time or a difficult time.
00:07:28.380
And we invite you to opt out of our emails that are related to Mother's Day if it triggers you.
00:07:41.080
By the way, thank you, corporate America, for reminding me that my mom died when I was very young.
00:07:49.720
Well, like, you'd be the perfect example of someone who could theoretically be triggered.
00:07:53.980
But, like, I think it's always been expected for you as a member of society to be able to get through that on your own.
00:08:05.800
Whether you're in your tent in the middle of the sidewalk or, you know, you're reading the emails.
00:08:15.940
Somebody has to remind you that your mother is now dead.
00:08:20.300
You bring up Mother's Day and that's all I think of is my mother died when I was 15.
00:08:25.460
And it still triggers me because I'm weak and pathetic.
00:08:32.880
Other than that, let's see what else has gone on.
00:08:41.160
The energy secretary, Granholm, she yesterday said, we are going to make the military all electric by 2030.
00:08:53.180
Do you support the military adopting that EV fleet by 2030?
00:09:00.740
And I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels,
00:09:06.560
where we know that global events such as the war in Ukraine can jack up prices for people back home.
00:09:13.400
Because remember all the charging stations that were in Iraq?
00:09:23.120
And, you know, if you take down the power grid or something in a country because you're fighting it,
00:09:29.960
you just want to make sure that you have that always renewable source of electricity to plug your Jeep in for four hours.
00:09:54.100
But I understand you can plug your Jeep right into the ass of a sheep and you get all of the power you need.
00:10:08.580
And she also went on to say, electric vehicles are quiet.
00:10:19.740
Wait, so she's arguing, though, of course, that, like, using gas because it's dependent on an international market makes the price volatile.
00:10:28.980
Of course, you are going into a country that you are trying to take over and you know what it's like when you're at war and you're expecting to plug your cars in meaning your tanks.
00:10:48.540
You're saying she they're talking now about our domestic military fleet.
00:10:54.020
But they want to change the entire military into electric vehicles.
00:11:06.100
I think you just pop the solar panels right on the back of the of the tank.
00:11:25.480
OK, let me give you a couple of other things here.
00:11:27.940
Just think it's good to know that Vermont school district is now no longer using the term male or female, which I think is good.
00:11:42.200
They cannot say male, female, boy or girl instead.
00:11:48.160
And I don't think this is going to make kids uncomfortable at all.
00:11:52.100
You are a person who produces sperm or a person that produces eggs.
00:12:08.100
I mean, I'm glad we're finally getting rid of male and female because they're so outdated.
00:12:15.160
You know, when I think of a male, I just think, hey, that sperm producer over there.
00:12:24.440
Can you imagine the egg she's making right now?
00:12:36.620
You see over and over again, they are so confused as to what their messaging is.
00:12:42.140
They're so we saw this with the Pete Buttigieg clip.
00:12:45.200
We were talking about a little bit before the year before we came on the air where he's
00:12:51.540
And, you know, this is he's been mocked by the right.
00:12:56.180
You know, this is his big priority to have female crash test dummies.
00:13:01.920
But let's get the female crash test dummies as a priority.
00:13:05.020
And that is a completely legitimate point to mock him on.
00:13:08.580
Of course, he's he's so meaningless and everything he's doing is a giant zilch.
00:13:17.520
Back off of just the mockery of Pete Buttigieg.
00:13:23.000
Because you gave me the whole you didn't just leave it at crash test dummies.
00:13:37.140
I believe every moment is an important moment, especially this moment and other moments in time.
00:13:48.400
I actually do think there should be female crash test dummies.
00:13:58.320
And it's interesting to think about what that reason would be.
00:14:05.040
So, yes, when you're testing seat belts or safety features in cars, it is valuable to have female crash test dummies.
00:14:14.640
Because it's important to note the actual biological sex of a person because they are different than the other biological sex.
00:14:26.380
Yeah, the one that produces sperm and the one that produces eggs.
00:14:33.760
But why, Pete, do you think it makes sense to have female crash test dummies?
00:14:38.660
Well, you say you could just identify as the other sex.
00:14:44.820
So, I can't tell you the difference between a female crash test dummy or a male crash test dummy.
00:14:53.860
But I think we should spend a lot of time and money just thinking about those and being able to.
00:15:06.720
How would he know how to produce a female crash test dummy?
00:15:10.120
He knows seemingly nothing about the species at all.
00:15:13.840
So, let me ask you, if men could become women, then don't we already have female crash test dummies?
00:15:22.200
Just put men in there and just say they identify as women.
00:15:24.640
And then you'd know everything you'd need to know.
00:15:28.620
See, we've solved yet another of the world's problems today.
00:15:35.880
Let me take a 60-second break because that was a lot of heavy lifting.
00:15:39.660
Real estate agents I trust is a company of mine that I started with my brother and mainly out of our frustration because we've had bad real estate agents before.
00:15:50.660
And neither of us knew how to find a good real estate agent.
00:15:54.240
So, I started doing business with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:16:08.060
And I was asking them, you know, how do I know if you're good?
00:16:17.320
And so, we started our own company that does all of that for you.
00:16:21.620
We go and we look for the best real estate agents out there that will help you close fast, sell fast, sell for the right amount of money, the least hassle, and can help you with your move across the street or across the country.
00:16:36.740
And real estate agents also that are cut from your same cloth, most of them are big fans of the show.
00:17:18.340
I keep thinking about corporate media reminding me that my mother is dead.
00:17:59.520
I don't know anybody that has ever said anything about Alice and her day.
00:18:06.560
He said, I figured, why not use today to unveil the yap flag?
00:18:16.740
Now, I thought that was some sort of an animal over in the Middle East, but it's not.
00:18:24.220
The yap flag is the youth attracted person's pride flag.
00:18:36.120
I wanted to stray from the oft-used horizontal bars motif, but only a little.
00:18:46.540
And so the yap flag is now out, and I am proudly flying it at other people's houses and
00:19:03.080
I don't know a single parent that doesn't say, man, I wish my kid could have some creepy
00:19:13.540
So he deleted that tweet, and he says, yeah, pedophilia, not tolerated on the platform.
00:19:21.920
So it wasn't the yap guy that deleted the tweet.
00:19:24.900
It was Elon Musk stepping in and saying, hey, not huge fans of pedophiles here.
00:19:29.160
He's like, I don't know who Alice is, but if Alice is for the yap flag, I don't think we
00:19:37.280
So she can keep her day and she can, you know, celebrate herself far away from children, preferably
00:19:46.980
It's a great place, especially this time of year for pedophiles.
00:19:54.400
So it's interesting to me how much evil there is in America right now.
00:20:02.480
You know, and that's, it gives me, it gives me a lot of hope, honestly, because we win.
00:20:10.820
You know, it's like, it's, it's, it's really like evil and Satan thinks it's going to win.
00:20:24.920
That was, that was Americans that came up with that one.
00:20:27.700
I didn't have to use any of my demon diabolical powers.
00:20:41.840
And you know, that point where it's always like James Bond or just some kind of crappy
00:20:47.860
villain where the guy who is the superhero and they're just like, but you know, I could
00:20:55.120
kill you now, but I'm going to walk over here and do something else for a while that we're
00:21:02.320
They're so arrogant that we're entering a point to where they don't understand us.
00:21:12.900
They don't realize that they're in the minority.
00:21:15.640
And when you wake this sleeping giant, that that's, that's the moment where you're off.
00:21:24.380
We're going to kill you, but I'm going to kill you later.
00:21:28.640
So I, cause I got a meeting or something I got to do, and I'm going to make sure that
00:21:32.900
nobody's watching you so you can escape if you want.
00:21:41.860
It's Billy Graham told me once, he said, it's like the Lord is, uh, planning a surprise
00:21:49.620
party and he's not going to use any of the famous people or anything else.
00:21:53.220
He's going to use average people and they just have to do what they hear in their heart
00:21:59.240
Just stand there with your piece and you're going to feel really stupid about your piece.
00:22:03.120
And you're like, this is not going to change anything.
00:22:06.000
He said, and then the Lord will walk in, turn on the lights.
00:22:09.600
Satan will be, Satan will be walking through the door and, uh, the Lord will just say,
00:22:24.740
But in the meantime, until that time, make sure you get your yap flag, Alice.
00:22:42.420
So it's been a couple hours yesterday with the pre-born people.
00:22:53.420
And I got to tell you, they're like, all of them are like, yeah, I'm really not the guy
00:22:59.960
This is really not like me, but we just felt compelled to do it.
00:23:08.580
They have, to me, what makes them different is they have figured out the way to get to
00:23:14.720
women's hearts because I think they all know, but once they see the ultrasound and they hear
00:23:22.240
the heartbeat, it's just confirmed and it seals the deal.
00:23:28.620
If that happens, that's why Planned Parenthood doesn't have any ultrasound machines.
00:23:33.140
Uh, and everybody in the democratic party fights against that, that horrible ultrasound
00:23:39.560
that they're forcing women to have pre-born just provides it and then provides so much
00:23:44.980
care for the mom and the child for like two years after birth dial pound two 50, help them
00:23:51.360
Use the keyword baby pound two 50, or go to preborn.com slash back and go to blaze tv.com slash
00:23:58.800
Glenn to subscribe to blaze TV more important than ever.
00:24:01.260
Get 20 bucks off with the promo code question everything.
00:24:27.520
You just said to Stu, Hey, Stu, what was the name of that big report that we were waiting
00:24:39.800
I mean, it comes out in dribs and drabs, but we're still waiting for the final report.
00:24:43.300
I can't even remember the name of that report now.
00:24:48.360
And everybody was like, wait until the Higgins report is finished.
00:25:06.260
I think I could remember more of bull Durham than the Durham report and what it was supposed
00:25:17.480
And there's another, this is such a huge story.
00:25:24.600
What's happening now with the ex-CIA spy that wanted to stop Donald Trump from being president
00:25:37.040
and so crafted the letter to say that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:25:47.080
And then as political operatives, they got everybody to sign it.
00:26:13.300
Well, it's kind of like out of the frying pan and into the fryer.
00:26:17.440
You know, over at Truth Social, it's just daily attacks.
00:26:23.760
Then it's being attacked by the fake news or, or by the Biden administration or, you know,
00:26:30.880
So when you were there, you were, you were really leading a lot of these things and really
00:26:38.280
And, you know, of course you were a conspiracy theorist and everything else and everything
00:26:42.980
that you talked about, we've talked about, um, has turned out to be true and worse.
00:26:50.060
This, this Michael, Michael Morrell thing, uh, what do you make of it?
00:26:56.360
I remember when I was chairman of the house intelligence committee doing a long interview
00:27:01.140
with you on your show, I think we've been, I don't know what it, what it was for, but
00:27:07.880
And, um, I remember you saying this really can't be true.
00:27:12.460
You know, you, we were going back and forth, uh, talking about it.
00:27:16.260
And the only thing that I would correct you on is that the whole idea of the Durham report
00:27:22.720
was a fake narrative that was built by the deep state to say that, Oh, Durham's just going
00:27:34.020
And nobody really listened to me at the time, even though I was the guy that uncovered all
00:27:45.180
We made four, we made 14 criminal referrals, um, of which you've seen Durham's been able
00:27:51.460
to bring three indictments, one pled guilty to walked, which is a whole nother problem with
00:27:59.360
Cause if it was Glenn Beck or Devin Nunes being tried in Washington, DC, we would have been,
00:28:07.080
uh, you know, the, the trial would have lasted.
00:28:09.180
The jury would have met for about 12 seconds and then we would have got the maximum penalty,
00:28:16.100
So it's really, this, this has been really damaging to our country that this, it was kind
00:28:21.080
of the start of it, you know, when they, they were willing to go one step beyond just having
00:28:26.520
political operatives do stupid political operative things that everybody knows, Oh, it's an October
00:28:36.960
The department of justice is involved in this much, much different when they're willing
00:28:41.220
to weaponize the intelligence and justice system in this country.
00:28:45.280
So what do you think it means that they're willing to openly admit this?
00:28:55.760
This is the intelligence community colluding with the Biden campaign through Anthony Blinken
00:29:16.420
By, by, yeah, yeah, it's not even close, but let's take this deep state actor.
00:29:24.200
So Morrell was a guy that got up that we questioned after Benghazi, because remember he
00:29:35.820
He wrote the talking points and he was the deputy CIA director at the time.
00:29:40.760
And it was, and it was kind of like explained by the media.
00:29:44.060
The narrative at the time was, well, this is a career guy.
00:29:49.620
And then, you know, I remember we questioned him and he says, oh, you know, yeah, I wouldn't
00:29:57.500
And look, and I'm the one who did the Russia hoax because there was so much fake news involved
00:30:03.920
But Morrell also participated early on in the Russia hoax.
00:30:09.680
So here you had a guy, the CIA knew it was fake, knew it was phony, knew it was ginned
00:30:15.400
But Morrell pins an op-ed in the New York Times that was essentially alluding that Trump
00:30:22.300
had these Russia problems, you know, to be on the lookout for it.
00:30:25.960
Now, look, nobody paid attention to any of that stuff in 2016.
00:30:32.920
They tried to they tried to spin up this Russia stuff on Trump in 16 and it just died.
00:30:40.920
And then remember how this all then how this got resurrected is because after the election,
00:30:46.980
when Trump stuns everybody and wins in 2016, they said, oh, what the hell are we going to
00:30:53.960
And Comey and Obama and all of them said, well, we're going to go all in.
00:30:59.520
We're going to put the justice system, the Justice Department, the FBI.
00:31:04.680
And they did that a couple of weeks after Trump won in 2016.
00:31:14.960
And Susan Wright leaves that meeting and she's like, we did nothing wrong in this meeting.
00:31:25.000
So because Glenn, don't you normally like when I get off your radio show, you just pin something
00:31:34.180
We didn't break the law or do anything wrong that would be suspicious even.
00:31:45.500
He is colluding with, uh, Anthony, Anthony Blinken, who is, uh, at the time high up in the
00:31:58.040
Morell says, I didn't even think of this until I talked to Blinken.
00:32:02.100
So you have the, you have the campaign reaching out to the CIA and he said, I got the idea
00:32:11.380
from Blinken and I did it and I wouldn't have done it without Blinken.
00:32:18.120
So, so, so what happens in as best as I can describe it, and this is where Morell's the
00:32:26.200
So Morell is, you know, outside, he's on the outside now.
00:32:32.240
Many of those 51 signers still hold a security clearance.
00:32:36.520
They're in high level positions for likely government contractors.
00:32:40.900
You know, they work, they sit on boards of these big defense companies that provide, um,
00:32:46.860
uh, intelligence and products to, to our military industrial complex.
00:32:50.780
So what, what happens here is Morell, um, is the guy that they, you know, he's the go-to
00:32:57.000
He's the fix it guy because he did it in Benghazi.
00:33:03.360
Now, look, he's trying to move up in the Soviet style apparatchik system.
00:33:11.600
So he was always willing to do anything that the left wanted him, wanted them to do.
00:33:17.660
So when Blinken calls him, who's at the Biden Penn Center, no less at the time, and in 2020,
00:33:34.240
And then they go get 51 of probably the most respected names on the left.
00:33:39.840
Everybody knows them as, as, as left guys, left-wing guys, but, you know, relatively well-respected
00:33:45.440
former CIA directors, et cetera, four-star generals, that sort of thing.
00:33:49.000
And Morell, uh, goes on, on the request of Blinken to do this now, and they do it.
00:33:59.560
Now, the biggest problem here, Glenn, that we have, Blinken gets rewarded for this.
00:34:05.020
And he is now, people don't realize the secretary of state position is often seen in, not only
00:34:12.940
in the United States of America and in Washington, but around the world as the number three position
00:34:21.720
You know, it's a position not, you know, it's not always in the news.
00:34:25.400
People see a lot, but, but, you know, that is our voice.
00:34:31.300
So, and by the way, um, the head of the Afghanistan debacle to the state department was put in charge
00:34:38.500
of that, of the, uh, evacuation over the Pentagon.
00:34:43.660
Um, well, if you put, if you put political actors leftists in,
00:34:48.180
that couldn't find their way out of a paper bag, you get disasters.
00:34:54.540
And don't forget, okay, yeah, Afghanistan's bad enough.
00:35:02.840
I was, I was, I was not, not that they aren't paying attention.
00:35:17.160
And one of them is a, is, is a teacher, uh, as I understand it, that was there working
00:35:23.580
So a lot of times when we have foreigners overseas, we have a school system for the
00:35:28.460
kids, the children of those, of those people that are working on behalf of the United States
00:35:31.580
government, as I understand it, one of them is a teacher.
00:35:34.140
So they're saying, Oh, there's no U S personnel there.
00:35:36.160
Well, that poor lady's only there because she was part of the servicing the Americans that
00:35:43.400
Anyway, I mean, it's just that this guy's overseeing one debacle after another.
00:35:48.840
And, and, and, and none of these, what I've said over and over again, anyone who signed
00:35:54.980
that letter, all 51 of them, not only should they never hold another government job in their
00:36:01.280
lifetime, they shouldn't have a security clearance, not one of them.
00:36:07.220
So, you know, we're living in a time where the Congress can refer anybody to, you know,
00:36:13.660
I asked, I asked a Congressman, I said, why, why aren't you going after these?
00:36:20.920
And he said, because all we can do is give it to the justice department.
00:36:23.940
And then they decide if they're going to prosecute or not.
00:36:27.600
Is that really, is that really the way this works?
00:36:34.120
Well, look, I mean, you know, you know, as well as anybody, how the legislative branch
00:36:37.660
works, I don't know specifically what, you know, what you're referring to, but what the,
00:36:43.420
what they really have to do is, is not only make referrals, but they have to continue
00:36:51.220
I mean, look, I uncovered all of this dirt, you know, with our team and, you know, and you
00:36:56.980
see, like we said, we'd like, we talked about Durham.
00:36:59.440
Now Durham's still going, but clearly he's being limited.
00:37:02.360
But I always say that, you know, the Congress doesn't have, they don't have guns.
00:37:06.560
They can't go arrest somebody, but they've got to pin these guys down, right?
00:37:10.860
Like they can't just let this Morrell and Blinken thing go.
00:37:16.900
And this is going to be the challenge is that you, and I get it.
00:37:25.560
You gotta, you gotta work with, you gotta work with the state department.
00:37:29.180
You gotta work with all these, with the, with the executive branch.
00:37:31.880
They have things that, that you have things that you need for your constituents.
00:37:35.040
You know, you want to try to make the government function and it's human nature not to want
00:37:43.200
But the thing is, is that we are living in a dystopian world that's getting worse.
00:37:48.900
And what I tell my colleagues, you know, that my former colleagues is, is guys, this is not,
00:37:54.320
you know, you know, maybe in 15 and 16, you could play that way.
00:37:57.940
You can't play that way today, knowing how they've weaponized the government.
00:38:01.140
You have to pin these people down and you have to continue to subpoena every single
00:38:06.700
And you've got to publicize the criminal referrals.
00:38:09.480
Imagine how, if you know, the, the old saying is one generation, what they tolerate, the next
00:38:15.900
one embraces and look at what we're tolerating.
00:38:19.100
If we don't stop tolerating this stuff, when we fully embrace this corruption, we absolutely
00:38:50.740
You pick passwords that are easy to remember instead of more secure ones.
00:38:54.660
How about your financial statements and credit card reports?
00:38:57.640
You check them frequently to make sure that they've not been tampered with.
00:39:01.440
These and a hundred other things can make you susceptible to cybercrime.
00:39:11.120
And if you don't think that cybercriminals are using, you know, chat GPT bots right now
00:39:19.560
to do phishing and everything else to get your information, you're sadly mistaken.
00:39:25.780
You're going to see cybercrime double, double easily.
00:39:32.040
Right now you can get 25% off your subscription to LifeLock.
00:39:36.740
It's, you know, LifeLock by Norton and they've provided security, both of them, for forever.
00:39:42.020
They both have the preventative measure to keep you safe.
00:39:46.720
And because nobody can catch everything, they also have the restoration team.
00:39:50.300
If you do end up having your information hacked into.
00:39:58.380
You'll save up to 25% off your first year if you use the promo code back.
00:40:10.420
There's something, uh, happening, uh, and I think it's happening to Tucker Carlson.
00:40:34.940
I think it's happening to me and, uh, I, I, I think I know what it is, but did you see
00:40:45.500
He did a little thing from, and please, Tucker, let me fix your set, please, please.
00:40:49.680
Let me, let me just make that picture look good and the sound good.
00:40:53.120
But anyway, um, he is, uh, uh, he did his, uh, did a quick little monologue and it was
00:41:05.500
There, there's just, there's a change coming in this country about how we are dealing with
00:41:13.940
the troubles that we're dealing with and, and how we are, um, how we're fighting the good
00:41:25.340
He tweeted it out last night in case you haven't seen it.
00:41:30.700
Back in just a minute with the guy who's still fighting over what cakes he will and will not
00:41:37.740
Let me tell you about something we're doing at blaze TV.
00:41:47.520
We are, uh, trying to save comedy from the humorless left.
00:41:53.520
And, uh, we have just partnered with a, these guys who make these comedy films.
00:42:00.180
You might've seen some of their stuff on, on YouTube.
00:42:05.020
If you like best of show or any, or any of those mockumentaries done by Christopher
00:42:23.820
It's called reopening and it's about a small time theater, uh, trying to reopen safely after
00:42:40.520
You can use the code reopening to save 20 bucks.
00:43:19.160
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:29.520
Let me take you back in the time tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel.
00:43:48.200
He's, he ran the masterpiece cake shop in Colorado.
00:43:54.020
And he had somebody walk into a store, say he wanted a gay wedding cake.
00:43:59.000
And he said, you know, I, I'll make anything for you, but my religion, my, my religious beliefs, I can't do that for you.
00:44:15.080
He was found, you know, I don't know, not bigoted.
00:44:26.100
He has a right as an artist to not be forced to make a cake.
00:44:34.240
Well, then some other guy, an activist, came in and said, I want a Satan cake.
00:44:42.040
I swear, Jack must spend his whole day just turning down cakes.
00:44:57.300
Now, somebody's come in with a trans cake and they're suing him again.
00:45:04.040
Ten years of his life have been stolen from him.
00:45:09.660
We're going to talk to Jack Phillips and his attorney in 60 seconds.
00:45:18.900
Nestle is the world's largest food and drink company.
00:45:22.680
They raised their prices by 10% just last quarter.
00:45:44.740
They first surprise them and put hairspray in their eyes.
00:45:59.820
I want you to be able to lock in your price on anything you can right now.
00:46:07.600
I mean, I feel kind of bad because good ranchers, I really like these people and I love their meat.
00:46:17.460
But I don't know how they're going to stay in business because I'm encouraging you to lock the price in.
00:46:22.120
And I know prices of beef are going to go through the roof and your price will be locked in.
00:46:29.120
As long as you have the subscription, you're never going to pay more for your meat.
00:46:33.820
You know, when everybody's paying like, is that Kobe beef?
00:46:38.900
That's probably ground up dog and it's $400 a pound.
00:46:43.820
You're going to be eating steak with good ranchers.
00:47:09.980
Jack Phillips is with us along with Matt Sharp.
00:47:21.500
I wish we didn't have to do this all over again.
00:47:29.860
Can I ask you, I think this is the worst theft I've ever seen in my life.
00:47:38.580
These people have stolen 10 years of your life.
00:47:49.920
Well, we're grateful to have ADF there beside us through this whole thing.
00:47:54.460
But I just want to make it clear that the people that are suing me, I welcome in my shop.
00:47:59.240
I welcome everybody who comes into my shop at Masterpiece Cake Shop.
00:48:02.600
But I just can't express every message that people ask us to create with our custom cakes.
00:48:07.380
And that was the case over 10 years ago now when two men came in and asked me to create a cake to celebrate their wedding.
00:48:14.520
And it was a view of a wedding that goes against my beliefs for what weddings are.
00:48:19.980
And so I told them, you know, I'll sell you other cakes, other custom cakes, sell you anything in my shop, cookies, brownies.
00:48:25.900
But I just can't create a cake for a same-sex wedding that goes against my faith.
00:48:29.560
And they stormed out of my shop, swearing at me, flipping me off, went to the state, filed a complaint.
00:48:37.660
And that case ended up at the U.S. Supreme Court, like you know.
00:48:43.000
The day that the court granted our case, though, an attorney here in Colorado called us up and asked us to create a cake that was blue on the outside and pink on the inside.
00:48:52.400
And then we were informed that those colors were symbolic of changing gender, changing from a man to a woman.
00:48:58.260
So we told this attorney that we would be glad to serve other custom cakes, create other custom cakes, serve them in any way that we would serve anybody else.
00:49:06.160
But the cake expressed a message that I didn't want to create.
00:49:14.940
And now we're in the same lawsuit with the same person in a civil case.
00:49:21.540
And so ADF has asked the state Supreme Court to hear our case.
00:49:28.260
Jack, I've got to go back to my first question.
00:49:37.620
I know you're doing things because you really, truly believe that this is wrong.
00:49:43.720
And I can't thank you enough as a citizen for doing this.
00:49:47.480
But do you ever get to a point where you're like, I can't take it?
00:49:59.080
And it is for every American because free speech is for everyone.
00:50:02.920
And we're hoping that this court will overturn it.
00:50:05.640
But, again, like I said, with ADF backing us up and knowing that we have the best legal team that you could possibly have in a situation like this is reassuring.
00:50:18.340
Matt, tell me what this case is looking at, why it went civil, and why you're having a hard time or he had a hard time before you guys came on board.
00:50:30.020
Yeah, well, as you mentioned earlier, you know, the Supreme Court ruled for Jack but focused on the hostility that Colorado was showing to Jack where it was comparing his beliefs about marriage to being no different than those of Nazis and those responsible for the Holocaust.
00:50:47.560
And so the Supreme Court didn't get to that core question of can Colorado force artists like Jack to speak a message to support a cause or idea that violates their belief.
00:50:58.240
And that's what we're fighting for now is we want that definitive ruling to say the Constitution clearly protects the speech of every American and including take artists like Jack.
00:51:08.120
But isn't that what the first Supreme Court decision said?
00:51:13.540
They just focused on that hostility and sort of saved the bigger question for another day.
00:51:20.600
We've got another case, Lori Smith of 303 Creative, that's at the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the same Colorado law.
00:51:26.920
So we're hopeful that we are going to get that ruling that's going to put an end once and for all to these vexatious challenges against Jack and allow him to go back to doing what he loves to do.
00:51:38.200
I go back to, you know, I think 10 years have been stolen.
00:51:47.500
It's also a bread, so we should ask Jack about it.
00:51:51.000
But I just think, you know, there's at some point should be a penalty for people who are intentionally trying to destroy someone's life just to make a point.
00:52:06.820
Yeah, and especially with this case, I mean, the person doing this, this activist attorney admitted that if this case was thrown out, come back in the next day and ask for another cake that they know Jack could not do because of his beliefs.
00:52:22.320
We're raising awareness that this was a setup, that this was an effort to try and punish and harass Jack because of his beliefs, and we're not going to stand for it.
00:52:37.700
Yeah, well, that's why we're hopeful that the Colorado Supreme Court is going to shut this down once and for all and make sure that these types of claims can't be brought anymore against Jack or others like him.
00:52:46.400
And how is the, what's the makeup of the Colorado Supreme Court?
00:52:51.500
Well, you know, we've been through this process before the first time around,
00:52:58.560
and they didn't show willingness to stand for the Constitution and uphold Jack's free speech rights,
00:53:05.280
but we're hopeful that they'll see what this delegation is doing to him and how this is being, like you said,
00:53:11.440
the harassment and these laws are being misused to punish Jack and try and coerce him because of his beliefs.
00:53:16.800
And what happens if the Colorado courts turn you away and say, nope, we side with the, what is it, the plaintiff?
00:53:26.400
We side with the guys who want the cake, and the Supreme Court just doesn't take his case.
00:53:36.860
It could have severe impacts, but this is where we're optimistic that if not the Colorado Supreme Court,
00:53:44.480
then we are going to ask the U.S. Supreme Court, and we're hopeful that whether it's in Jack's case or Laurie Smith's case,
00:53:49.300
as I mentioned, that's pending there, that we are going to get the Supreme Court to reaffirm
00:53:53.600
that you can't force Americans to speak messages to support causes that they disagree with.
00:54:06.120
And if it wasn't for you, I mean, people are having a hard time finding attorneys now
00:54:10.380
because the attorney firm will be hassled, and so it's just not worth the headache to stand up and defend the Bill of Rights.
00:54:20.440
I will say to Jack, you know, I find it very difficult to come to a conclusion on this case without tasting these baked goods for myself.
00:54:27.360
I mean, I think it would only be fair if we got some baked goods from time to time from Jack, but no.
00:54:49.600
God puts you in the right place at the right time.
00:54:52.620
Yeah, thanks for allowing us to share our story and hopefully encourage other people to do what's right because, like I said earlier, free speech is for everyone.
00:55:03.340
These cases are not just about me and my cake shop.
00:55:20.240
I mean, at some point, I mean, just as a human, you would have to say, I mean, I just want to make cakes.
00:55:34.420
How much time has been, again, holiday stolen from him?
00:55:46.380
And there's got to be times when you're just like, I mean, I know he is sincere in his faith.
00:55:58.800
And that's why, you know, God put him in the right place.
00:56:02.440
They're picking on the wrong guy because this guy, he is clear.
00:56:08.860
It's almost, it's so hard because there's such a pragmatic cost to it for him.
00:56:17.040
And, you know, you can tell that he really cares about this.
00:56:20.880
But, you know, after six months, it would be really hard to keep going.
00:56:27.260
You know, I mean, that has to, I know if I'm running this cake shop, first of all, it's probably very much losing money because I'm eating all the goods.
00:56:35.280
But secondarily, I think it would be, that would definitely cross my mind.
00:56:40.140
If I felt the way he did, I would be like, all right, you know, this is ridiculous.
00:56:52.060
There'd be a hundred things that would cross your mind.
00:56:54.120
And every time we've talked to him, I've never really had the sense that that has been the case with him.
00:56:57.880
He's always been just like, I'm just going to hold strong.
00:56:59.280
Because, I mean, when you have that kind of faith, you know that you should expect persecution.
00:57:15.180
And, you know, hopefully Jack, in a way, looks at it as a badge of honor.
00:57:19.440
I mean, that guy's earning his place in the history books, and he's earning his place in the afterworld.
00:57:29.000
I mean, he still believes in that sky god in the afterworld.
00:57:32.360
Boy, is he going to be surprised when he wakes up in the coffin.
00:57:42.580
He was clear he was not sending us baked goods, though, I will say.
00:57:48.600
Do you remember when Tony Bennett was on my show?
00:57:52.420
He had a live orchestra, and I had an hour with him, and he would play his music.
00:57:58.400
And I asked him at the end, I said, I can't have Tony Bennett on without, you know, asking you to do your most famous song.
00:58:06.260
But, I mean, if you're sick of doing it, you don't have to.
00:58:14.240
And I said, you know, I left my heart in San Francisco.
00:58:27.620
And I got that vibe from Jack a little bit when you said, I want free baked goods.
00:58:34.500
I feel like he might now, if I went in there to purchase him, he might kick me out of the cake shop.
00:58:46.460
Peggy wrote in about her dog's existence with Rough Green.
00:58:49.000
She says, our dog Baxter just turned 10 back in November.
00:59:09.100
Guys, when we lose interest in life, we're more interested in eating.
00:59:18.460
That's why you got to men stand up for Jack Phillips.
00:59:26.820
Anyway, Peggy says at my husband's suggestion, we purchased Rough Greens and now he's eating
00:59:39.100
He was going to make it into the new year, but he is still with us.
01:00:00.000
Generally, we say don't pick up things that are brown and put them in your mouth.
01:00:11.260
Rough Greens got everything that your dog really needs to have you sprinkle it on.
01:00:30.740
We I mean, this should be Friday because we have all these people that are fighting back coming up in just a minute.
01:00:46.880
We're, you know, fight back Fridays we're doing.
01:00:50.000
Um, and hopefully we have some other people left that are fighting back in just a few minutes.
01:00:55.520
I'm going to introduce you to Connor Fitzpatrick.
01:00:57.540
Um, he is representing the Michigan middle school students that have gotten together, uh, and they filed a lawsuit because the school forced them to take off their let's go Brandon sweatshirts.
01:01:14.880
Now, if the school has a policy that's consistent, then I would disagree with them, but we'll find out.
01:01:22.320
Uh, I don't think they're being, I highly doubt they're being consistent.
01:01:29.780
Um, because, you know, would you have, I mean, the people who were so anti-Trump, so anti-Trump, would, would, would that school kick the kids out if they had an anti-Trump shirt?
01:01:47.440
I don't know why we still are sending our kids to school.
01:01:58.180
No, but I mean, we know that this is, they are grooming our children to be activists.
01:02:06.220
Uh, I think I could make a pretty solid case to lose gender, uh, you know, homosexuality, pedophilia.
01:02:16.320
They've got drag queens in school books that are just filth.
01:02:21.840
And yet, we all still kind of go, yeah, I know, that's really, that's really bad.
01:02:30.340
Although I think that's changing quite a bit, and I think it's, since COVID, we've seen a massive shift on that issue.
01:02:38.420
It has, but it shows you how trapped people are in the federal system.
01:02:43.000
We're so trapped in our school systems because we pay taxes and everything else, and there's been relatively no competition that you could get any kind of help with, and because of that, prices are high, et cetera, et cetera.
01:02:56.040
You're trapped, and people are just like, what am I going to do?
01:03:01.420
I mean, we are sending our kids five days a week in to be turned against us, God, our principles, everything.
01:03:17.420
I mean, I'm not doing that, and I'm very happy with that choice.
01:03:25.080
Not everyone can, and it's unfortunate, and I will tell you, it's terrible.
01:03:28.360
They want to raise, they're right now, in Texas, you have this possibility of challenging your taxes.
01:03:33.840
Every year, they give you this chance to protest your taxes, which you should always do if you happen to live in Texas or if your state does this.
01:03:42.260
I want it to be zero dollars or something close to zero dollars.
01:03:45.520
I don't even send my kids to these schools, and I have to pay taxes to send my kids to schools they don't attend, and then I have to pay again and another to the private school.
01:03:55.300
And it's like, well, this is completely insane for most people, and it shouldn't be that way.
01:04:00.320
You should be able to choose where to send your kids to school, but this is so entrenched, and it's destroying us.
01:04:06.480
Luckily, a lot of people have been able to change that in the last couple of years, but we should keep pushing in this direction.
01:04:19.280
So, if you're a gun owner, you know how important it is to keep up with your target shooting.
01:04:26.620
You also know the price of ammunition is insane, and it doesn't look like it's going to go down anytime soon.
01:04:33.660
How are you going to maintain your skill level or get better if you're not firing at the range?
01:04:44.200
It is a high-tech, easy-to-use system that is now being widely used by the military.
01:04:49.740
I think the Marines started using it first, and now it's all over.
01:04:55.200
I mean, in 20 minutes, the average score goes up.
01:05:00.380
I can't remember how many points, but I think I improved by 20 points, and I'm a good shot.
01:05:06.860
And there's things that I just can't seem to correct that would put me into the highest category.
01:05:14.680
This got me right to the edge of that category because it shows you what you're doing wrong in real time.
01:05:30.900
Let's say a network canceled your favorite 8 p.m. show on cable news.

01:05:52.700
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program up in Michigan.
01:05:55.360
I read a story yesterday that middle school students there have filed a suit after the school forces them to take off their Let's Go Brandon sweatshirts.
01:06:06.160
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression attorney, known as FIRE, and you can find them at thefire.org.
01:06:13.960
Connor Fitzpatrick is joining us with us because these guys are minors protecting their anonymity.
01:06:21.400
They're not going to be on with us, but we're going to talk to Patrick about this case.
01:06:34.260
So, Connor, is this inconsistent with their dress code?
01:06:43.680
You know, how can they file suit if there is a dress code that says you can't wear things that cause attention being brought to you or disruptive?
01:06:56.000
So, the dress code provision that the school is relying on to ban these Let's Go Brandon hoodies says that you're not allowed to wear vulgar or profane clothing.
01:07:12.000
Now, they're a cultural reference to a different chant, which, admittedly, you can't say at school.
01:07:22.920
They are intentionally using a sanitized, non-vulgar, non-profane slogan in order to get their point across.
01:07:31.060
And that's squarely protected by the First Amendment.
01:07:35.620
When you filed suit with them, what did the school say?
01:07:40.780
We have not heard anything from the school or the school district since we filed suit other than that they acknowledged my email when I emailed the lawsuit to them.
01:07:58.060
And did the parents reach out to the school first and try to get answers or some open minds on this?
01:08:07.040
So, we have two students who are plaintiffs in our case, both of whom were ordered by the school district to remove Let's Go Brandon sweatshirts.
01:08:16.580
And the ironic thing about all of this is this shouldn't have required a lawsuit.
01:08:21.320
Last year, through attorneys, the parents wrote to the school district, set out the pertinent Supreme Court law and the First Amendment law, and said, hey, you have to allow these hoodies.
01:08:40.220
And your thoughts on the case and ramifications if you win or lose?
01:08:47.340
My thoughts on the case are, admittedly, I'm a little bit biased, but I think these hoodies are squarely protected by the First Amendment.
01:08:53.420
You know, a little more than 50 years ago, the Supreme Court decided the major student speech case.
01:09:00.280
And their middle school students, like these kids, went to school and they wore black armbands to protest the Vietnam War.
01:09:06.960
And the Supreme Court held that as long as the students aren't being disruptive, as long as they aren't disrupting lessons, kids have a First Amendment right to peacefully express their political views in school.
01:09:18.220
And what schools can't do and what the school's doing here is playing favorites, allowing some students to express their political views, their social views, but stopping other students from expressing theirs.
01:09:30.440
And it's really amazing to me that, you know, once you get into college, the entire system is trying to teach you to stand up and protest and disrupt.
01:09:43.080
And it's now in our our middle schools and elementary schools as well.
01:09:48.320
But here the schools are saying, no, no, no, you can't disrupt.
01:09:53.340
You can't do that when everything on the left is all about chaos and disruption.
01:09:57.760
So under the Supreme Court's precedent, as long as students aren't being disruptive, you're not allowed to stand up and start chanting protests in class.
01:10:07.820
We all agree with that. And that's the ironic thing about this case, Glenn, is that the school has never contended that these kids were being disruptive.
01:10:15.800
They were going about their day, doing their schoolwork, going from class to class.
01:10:20.100
And they just happened to be wearing a Let's Go Brandon hoodie.
01:10:22.660
But the school singled them out and ordered them to remove their sweatshirts based on the political message that they wish to express.
01:10:30.260
And that's where the Constitution gets involved.
01:10:32.260
Talking to Connor Fitzpatrick, Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
01:10:39.760
Connor, tell me if this if you lose this case, what are the ramifications?
01:10:48.860
And if you win this case, does it go further than just this school?
01:10:55.700
So we certainly hope we certainly hope we don't lose.
01:10:58.720
If we do, I think there's a good chance we'll take it to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and higher if we need to.
01:11:03.980
But the overall point of this case and the overall importance of the First Amendment in public schools is that we should be encouraging young people, not discouraging them.
01:11:14.720
We should be encouraging them to engage in political expression, to talk about the issues with their friends.
01:11:21.120
And if it causes a debate or an argument, so much for the better.
01:11:25.120
You know, Glenn, we count on our schools to prepare our kids for real life.
01:11:31.700
Well, in real life, people are going to disagree with them.
01:11:35.580
They're going to have neighbors and coworkers and even elected officials who don't think or talk or even pray the same way they do.
01:11:44.840
So the earlier they start getting exposed to views that they disagree with and start having those discussions, that's what's going to prepare them for a productive life as an American citizen.
01:11:54.580
And I have to tell you, there is no education without an honest search of all sides and without friction, you know, opposition in all things.
01:12:06.580
There is opposition in all things, and it's necessary.
01:12:10.600
And you will never sharpen a knife without the opposition of the stone.
01:12:15.880
You will never educate your children unless they are occasionally offended.
01:12:21.880
I mean, I think the best teachers are the ones that will take one side and really argue and push the kids up against the wall and then halfway through switch sides and argue hard the other way.
01:12:38.760
That's the only way you are ever challenged to think for yourself.
01:12:48.300
Our schools are not assembly lines of conformity.
01:12:51.800
We leave that to China and we leave that to Russia.
01:12:54.480
We encourage our American students to think critically about their own views, to consider the possibility that they might be wrong.
01:13:02.420
Because that's how you put your views to the test.
01:13:06.000
Thank you so much for everything you guys are doing.
01:13:15.860
Let me take a break and tell you about American financing.
01:13:21.360
Your credit card debt is just getting more expensive all the time.
01:13:26.620
And if you're only able to make the minimum payment each month, that can be overwhelming trying to find a way out of debt.
01:13:32.600
It's going to take years because most months you're not even touching the principal balance.
01:13:37.380
Well, if you own a home, there is possibly a better way.
01:13:41.620
It's not right for everybody, but I want you to do your own homework and find out.
01:13:45.060
Tapping into your home's equity to pay off high interest debt can make a lot of sense.
01:13:51.860
It can save you a ton of money, both in the short and long term.
01:13:56.540
And to help you set that up, may I recommend American financing?
01:14:05.580
The average person that is now doing these consolidation loans is saving $1,000 a month.
01:14:17.100
Plus, you might be able to also delay up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days.
01:14:31.600
They may really be able to help you as times get tougher.

I don't know if you saw the Tucker Carlson little mini monologue that he put online yesterday.
01:15:33.860
One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country.
01:15:41.140
Kind and decent people. People who really care about what's true.
01:15:44.900
And a bunch of hilarious people also. A lot of those.
01:15:48.880
It's got to be the majority of the population, even now.
01:15:53.060
The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are.
01:16:00.340
They're completely irrelevant. They mean nothing.
01:16:03.780
In five years we won't even remember that we had them.
01:16:09.260
And yet at the same time, and this is the amazing thing,
01:16:12.160
the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future,
01:16:18.360
War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources.
01:16:26.600
When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues?
01:16:32.020
Debates like that are not permitted in American media.
01:16:36.100
Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them.
01:16:41.820
And they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.
01:16:46.120
Suddenly the United States looks very much like a one-party state.
01:17:03.700
This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue.
01:17:18.580
When honest people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment,
01:17:24.400
At the same time, the liars who've been trying to silence them shrink and they become weaker.
01:17:35.160
Where can you still find Americans saying true things?
01:17:38.280
There aren't many places left, but there are some, and that's enough.
01:17:42.320
As long as you can hear the words, there is hope.
01:17:50.900
I haven't disappeared and nobody's shutting me up message from Tucker Carlson.
01:17:56.740
It would be more effective if he wasn't such a Nazi, right?
01:18:20.700
You know, you see that and you see, that's the happy warrior type of thing, right?
01:18:28.020
He's not leaving his foundations or his principles.
01:18:35.620
Well, of course, you know, you're more of that.
01:18:38.200
A hundred million dollars and they say, get out and you're not going to work for it.
01:18:46.040
I think everyone should have a chance at those jobs.
01:18:49.940
A job that pays you multiple millions of dollars to not do the job.
01:18:57.220
I'm sick of living in this country that promises all these great things.
01:19:04.960
When we have to work for our money, I want to work a year and get paid for four.
01:19:13.820
Now, we're not working hard or doing a real job, of course.
01:19:28.880
I mean, you could argue we probably already have that job, but I want one that's even more
01:19:33.180
low on the work side and high on the money side.
01:19:36.600
I love that he was in his golf cart with his wife and they're at his house in Florida and
01:19:41.640
they're zipping around and they're like, he looks so happy.
01:19:48.540
They paid him not to work and it looks like he can work anyway.
01:20:13.060
We need to be able to work a year and get paid for four.
01:20:23.880
You know, Tucker, but I mean, other than me, you know, talking to him briefly in our
01:20:27.200
interviews, I've never talked to Tucker Carlson in my life.
01:20:32.000
Is he the person that's going to be happy taking a giant paycheck and hanging out on
01:20:37.060
Or is he the type of person who's going to want to...
01:20:42.460
If I was in his situation, then they said, hey, we're going to pay out your contract.
01:20:54.460
Otherwise, I'm going to work for you because I'm going to honor my contract.
01:20:58.760
I could not go on the beach and waste four years.
01:21:09.440
A show where he takes big issues and debates them.
01:21:15.820
Looking for something a little bit more substantial, which is great.
01:21:20.160
I will say it really connects when he's talking about that thing where we have these debates
01:21:24.680
and then five years later, we don't even remember they happened.
01:21:31.080
It's really, really crazy because when, you know, all the conventional wisdom has always
01:21:36.120
been, oh, online, people want it in three minutes.
01:21:45.340
I mean, people will listen to this podcast every day for three hours.
01:21:54.600
But then if I had to listen to it, too, that'd be six hours of my day.
01:21:58.620
And I just couldn't handle it no matter what they pay because I'm still working for other
01:22:07.320
But I mean, I really I don't know how people have the time, but they're looking for longer
01:22:13.600
form, intelligent questioning and honest questioning.
01:22:21.200
But I do think that as a society, certainly on cable news, you see a lot of this happening
01:22:34.840
But it is something that we could fix, you know, and I think people want and it's being
01:22:44.180
It's just the those damn commies that are trying to prop up the old system that is worthless.
01:23:08.120
I put sweat block on with the wipes are amazing.
01:23:13.600
I got up at 5 a.m., did all kinds of work, got onto a plane at 3, had to give a speech
01:23:21.000
in Virginia at 7, didn't get back home and in my bed until 2.
01:23:26.940
And I got up this morning and usually after a day like that, I'm like, you are ripe, brother.
01:23:41.440
You put a wipe and you just wipe under each arm and you do it like once a week.

01:24:08.540
I mean, we should appreciate the moment we're in, in these moments, and really look at these
01:24:14.420
moments and think about moments and how to appreciate moments, especially moments like
01:24:27.920
We've got to stand together, it's the course of mine.
01:24:46.880
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:25:16.200
There is a lot to comment on and give perspective.
01:25:18.880
There was something really good that happened at the Supreme Court yesterday that if it goes
01:25:24.500
awry, it could mean really, truly the end of you owning anything.
01:25:29.640
It looks like the Supreme Court really was just off the bat, just rejecting this argument.
01:25:40.220
It was the last case they were hearing this season.
01:25:43.660
I'm going to recap it for you and so much more in 60 seconds.
01:25:50.640
You know, the whole, you know, I want to be comfortable and cool in bed.
01:25:54.240
Look, I don't care if I'm hip and cool with all the cool kids when I'm sleeping.
01:26:04.740
Well, I'm cool when I'm sleeping anyway, so I don't.
01:26:07.960
Anyway, I want you to check out the Giza Dream Sheets.
01:26:12.080
They're made with the world's best cotton, Giza cotton from Egypt.
01:26:23.000
So if you, I mean, you want to go into the lunchroom and sit there with a bunch of people
01:26:27.000
that have Giza Dream Sheets and you don't have them, it's up to you.
01:26:38.760
You can get these sheets now for as low as $29.98.
01:26:42.980
I've been sleeping on these sheets for years, and I'm telling you, they are really great.

01:27:19.660
Let me tell you what happened in the Supreme Court yesterday.
01:27:21.840
The Supreme Court, according to the New York Times, and this must have killed them to write this,
01:27:28.920
The Supreme Court seemed united on Wednesday, quoting the Times,
01:27:33.200
in the last scheduled argument of its current term,
01:27:36.260
in a distaste for how county officials in Minnesota had treated a 94-year-old woman
01:27:43.240
who had stopped paying property taxes on her condominium after moving into an assisted living center.
01:27:54.820
the woman, Geraldine Tyler, owed about $2,000 in taxes and $13,000 in penalties and interest.
01:28:04.300
The county seized her condo and sold it at auction for $40,000.
01:28:11.260
It not only kept the $15,000 that everybody agrees is the county's tax money and penalties,
01:28:30.860
According to Minnesota law, the entire value of any property that is seized,
01:28:39.740
even when the debts owed amounted to a small portion of it,
01:28:50.220
The lawyer for Ms. Tyler said the county had an obligation to repay the balance
01:28:58.460
which said that property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation.
01:29:05.200
A debt collector may not take more than what is owed, she said.
01:29:19.520
And Neil Cate, y'all, he's the guy who defended the county's actions.
01:29:26.900
He said this is all rooted in historic practice.
01:29:31.080
You know, you can go back all the way to England.
01:29:37.540
And Gorsuch said, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:29:43.000
You're going back and you're stating English law,
01:29:47.220
laws on this particular thing that was enacted in 1278 in medieval England.
01:29:54.120
The guy's like, I'm just showing you historic precedents.
01:29:57.140
And he's like, Gorsuch said, the statute of Gloucester was about lands owned by the feudal lord
01:30:04.480
and what happens when a vassal fails to provide enough wheat to his lord.
01:30:09.540
I don't really understand how this is helping anybody.
01:30:14.100
So Kagan even came out and said, are there any limits to what the county can take?
01:30:23.720
She said, I mean, $5,000 tax debt and a $5 million house.
01:30:30.360
Do you take the house and keep the rest or do you have to give it back?
01:30:35.680
The attorney for the county said, well, it wouldn't run afoul of the takings clause if we did that.
01:30:44.620
Kagan pressed on asking whether the government could confiscate $100,000 in a bank account to pay off a $10,000 debt.
01:30:56.460
Then Amy Comey Barrett asked whether a car could be seized and sold to satisfy a $20 parking ticket.
01:31:05.260
He said, well, there's no historic tradition supporting the parking ticket.
01:31:13.880
Barrett responded, well, there weren't cars back then.
01:31:20.580
Why would we read the Constitution to disfavor real property?
01:31:29.000
Chief Justice John Roberts, the loser, said, I think you have things backward.
01:31:35.240
I think you're right that there is a difference between the value that our history places upon money and property, but I think it's the exact opposite of what you're saying.
01:31:46.600
So it looks like pretty much all of the judges immediately rejected this.
01:31:53.300
This is so important that they rule correctly and broadly on this.
01:31:59.580
We have a problem with our counties, our police, local, that they can just seize property and then not give it back to you because you were suspected of a crime and you have to prove yourself innocent.
01:32:18.800
And even when you do prove yourself innocent, they don't have to give the property back.
01:32:22.960
It is, it's absolutely un-American and unconstitutional.
01:32:30.280
This is something that I think when people start to have a problem paying their taxes, which will come, you start, you're not paying your property tax.
01:32:41.400
If they can take your $250,000 home for $20,000 worth of taxes and they don't have to give you that money back, you won't have a home.
01:32:56.900
You won't have a home because it will be a way for the county to take money so they can keep their services going.
01:33:05.140
And then the federal government can just pay for their sustenance after that.
01:33:14.560
I have to tell you, Donald Trump was absolutely a godsend.
01:33:27.580
Supreme Court would have been completely different and we'd really be screwed.
01:33:36.860
The House Republicans passed a package on Wednesday to raise the debt limit through early next year.
01:34:03.220
The legislation called the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 passed 217 to 215 with no Democratic support.
01:34:17.740
McCarthy says, we can't sit back and ignore the problem like the president has.
01:34:24.600
That's exactly what this bill does to put us into an ability to negotiate.
01:34:29.900
The bill comes in response to the U.S. approaching its debt ceiling as early as this summer.
01:34:34.960
It might even come closer to May or early June.
01:34:40.720
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned of an economic catastrophe.
01:34:45.160
Now, listen, this is your Treasury Secretary saying, if we don't come up with an agreement for the debt ceiling, it will be an economic catastrophe.
01:35:01.760
Listen, the Republicans have a bill that they have set up that takes away some of the just grotesque spending.
01:35:16.260
We're not giving you 80 million dollars for new IRS agents.
01:35:20.080
You're we're also going to cut way, way back on all of these green things that you're doing and that you hid in the Inflation Reduction Act.
01:35:29.440
So don't tell me you got it passed with the American people.
01:35:38.040
So this isn't something the American people were for.
01:35:41.440
So we're going to save four point eight trillion dollars over the next year if they will pass this.
01:35:52.460
It's not going to pass the Senate and it's dead.
01:36:07.060
I'm so sick of these people in the administration spending our money.
01:36:12.180
I mean, I heard them giving, you know, for green energy, a billion dollars.
01:36:23.520
Why doesn't any of this have to go through Congress anymore and be debated?
01:36:27.200
How can the president just release a check for a billion dollars to a country that many of us know to be an enemy of the United States?
01:36:47.980
And obviously, at four point eight trillion dollars, the Republicans are, in my case, I don't think tough enough, but at least they're standing up and they're being tough on this.
01:37:04.480
And then you're going to blame the Republicans.
01:37:12.960
I mean, at 217, these people will fold like cheap suits if they don't know that you're behind them.
01:37:20.640
It's important to call in the good times, maybe even more important in the good times.
01:37:26.320
You should call your congressman and thank them for voting for this reduction of the deficit and the debt ceiling limit.
01:37:38.700
Call them and say, we're in your we're on your side.
01:37:47.200
If they fold again, there's nothing left of the Republican Party.
01:37:53.480
If you can't stand and accomplish anything, these guys are they are governmental and economic terrorists.
01:38:07.580
You have your secretary of treasury saying you have to pass this.
01:38:15.180
I don't believe that, but that's what she's saying.
01:38:19.440
They're coming to the table and say, we'll pass it.
01:38:34.560
And think of how low our standards are at this point.
01:38:38.380
Like your first standard would be don't go into debt.
01:38:45.000
I'm not even saying that your first standard would be don't go into debt.
01:38:48.040
There's no ceiling to hit because you don't you spend within your means.
01:38:55.020
Obviously, then you have the debt limit and you could say, well, maybe the debt limit was set for to say, OK, well, let's come up with a really high number that we should never bump up against.
01:39:07.940
This standard, the debt ceiling as it exists right now, is designed to just, hey, when we get close to this point, we will all realize we're out of control and we need to make some changes to slow this down.
01:39:25.640
They won't even say, let's just come together and figure out a couple of things to slow this down.
01:39:31.260
They are saying we want to be able to spend any amount of money at any time.
01:39:35.880
And what's the point of having a debt ceiling at all if you're going to have that standard?
01:39:41.020
I think the Democrats made that argument a couple of years ago.
01:40:02.780
In fact, let me give you a couple of stories here.
01:40:09.420
De-dollarization inevitable as dollar steps down from altar.
01:40:14.100
It's a whole story about how nobody thought this was possible, but de-dollarization is happening.
01:40:21.640
If the world dumps the dollar, we're Venezuela overnight.
01:40:33.660
Juan tops U.S. dollar for first time in Chinese cross-border transactions.
01:40:43.540
Brazil's Lula supports trading currency for BRICS countries.
01:40:52.460
Argentina to pay for Chinese imports in yuan instead of dollars.
01:41:05.360
Experts say that this hullabaloo about the world weaning itself off the U.S. dollar, hard numbers show that's not true.
01:41:24.440
May I suggest, if you happen to agree with me that this is inevitable, as that one opinion piece said, you want to protect the money that you have.
01:41:40.080
When the dollar loses its value, almost everything you have is in dollars.
01:41:51.200
All your stocks, even if you're not wiped out from a stock crash, just the dollar changing, your retirement, you got nothing because inflation will shoot through the roof and they're going to pay you out in dollars.
01:42:06.620
So, may I suggest that you have maybe 10%, just 10% of what you have in some sort of silver or gold, precious metals.
01:42:17.900
The central banks all around the world that are trying to collapse our dollar are all going into gold and silver.
01:42:37.320
They have all kinds of silver bars, coins, and everything else.
01:42:39.880
And this week, Goldline has very hard to find 5-ounce silver coins with an additional free silver as their special.
01:42:50.380
Every box of 100 of the 5-ounce silver coins, you're going to receive 50 of the Mind Your Business silver bars.
01:43:09.880
Did you see what Steve Bannon is actually suggesting Donald Trump consider?
01:43:34.400
He's saying Trump should pick as his vice president RFK Jr.
01:43:46.300
You just read a poll to me off air that shows Biden at what?
01:43:54.700
Um, and it has, uh, Joe Biden at 70% of the vote in the Democratic primary, RFK Jr. at 21, which is really high for a candidate that is not, you know, just in and not a mainstream.
01:44:16.680
And Emerson, Emerson may not be reliable on this particular poll, but let's take it at face value.
01:44:23.220
I think this speaks volumes because he's running.
01:44:29.080
He's running as an anti-establishment, small government kind of guy.
01:44:47.140
Well, that's the same thing that Donald Trump is running on.
01:44:50.480
So that says, if this poll is right, that says 21% out of the box without really hearing a case, 21% are saying, I want somebody to break it up of Democrats of Democrats that shows we have more in common than ever before.
01:45:12.000
So if that were true, and I can't base it on one poll, but if that were true, politically, just by the numbers, that would make sense.
01:45:21.720
But I wouldn't, I would hate to lose President Trump and receive a die hard liberal.
01:45:34.780
Arrest people who don't, who oppose climate change.
01:45:37.700
That's literally one of the things he said many, many times over the years.
01:45:41.000
If you don't go with the allegor version of climate change, you should be arrested and thrown in prison.
01:46:00.760
When was it you discovered you couldn't do the things that you really love anymore?
01:46:07.860
Most of us have a thing or a series of them that we love to do.
01:46:14.320
And one day it starts getting harder to do because you were in an accident.
01:46:18.960
You, you know, you've got sports injuries like I have or whatever it is.
01:46:26.380
When you start losing the ability to do the things that you love to do because of pain, life changes and it sucks a lot.
01:46:40.360
I am gratefully not in that situation anymore because I listened to my wife and I tried Relief Factor.
01:46:56.500
If it's not working for you in three weeks, it's probably not going to work.
01:47:16.040
Use the promo code QUESTIONEVERYTHING and you'll save 20 bucks off your subscription to BlazeTV.
01:47:33.360
There's a couple of things that I want to address.
01:47:36.120
This one is a Disney filed suit against Ron DeSantis yesterday because they say he's just playing games and doesn't have right to do what he did.
01:47:54.060
But I don't think people understand what Ron DeSantis did.
01:48:00.780
You know, I think they just see, oh, he got into a fight with Disney and he could lose.
01:48:04.980
And I think it would be very bad for him to lose this.
01:48:11.180
Because, you know, what's the argument for Ron DeSantis to be president?
01:48:16.460
I mean, Donald Trump already fights with the media.
01:48:18.540
And the argument for DeSantis is that he does these things in a more professionalized way and he scores real victories.
01:48:27.440
Where Trump, again, I'm not saying I endorse this argument, but like Trump gets in fights.
01:48:37.060
But there's no policy win that comes out of that.
01:48:41.880
Where the argument with DeSantis is competency, right?
01:48:49.420
And when he enters in one of these big fights, he wins it and he scores a real policy victory.
01:48:57.280
You know, if he loses this against Disney, there's a huge dent in that idea.
01:49:03.540
And one person who will notice that is named Donald Trump.
01:49:11.300
Now, I don't know that you can say at this point that DeSantis has lost this.
01:49:17.360
You know, the back and forth is still up in the air.
01:49:21.440
But that's going to go on probably through this entire campaign.
01:49:32.820
And somebody is buying up all the land in Florida.
01:49:37.900
Just hundreds and hundreds and thousands of acres.
01:49:46.320
And they think that it's maybe Ford, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, or Lockheed.
01:50:00.100
And he was serious about making another Disneyland in St. Louis.
01:50:06.240
But because St. Louis is known for brewing companies.
01:50:17.260
So, he continued to negotiate with them while they decided on Florida.
01:50:23.040
Now, in St. Louis, he would have built another just Disneyland.
01:50:27.980
But Walt was driven by, he didn't want the theme park.
01:50:40.900
His brother forced him to build the Magic Kingdom first.
01:50:45.060
Because he's like, your dream is very expensive.
01:50:50.880
So, we're selling tickets so you can do the other.
01:50:53.240
And so, what Walt wanted was complete rights to the land.
01:51:00.760
Disney World is the closest thing you will ever get to like a Native American reservation.
01:51:11.900
Where the United States has really nothing to say.
01:51:24.640
And that's because Disney was selling everybody that he was going to go to St. Louis.
01:51:35.060
Because they saw what it did to Anaheim and to California.
01:51:39.680
And Disney had said in like 64, when I do this, I will make this the number one destination in the world.
01:51:55.680
Behind the scenes, he's talking to Governor Burns, I think was his name, in Florida.
01:52:02.580
And he makes all kinds of deals with Florida without anybody knowing it in the press.
01:52:09.980
He had the right to have a nuclear power plant on Disney property.
01:52:17.220
He had unbelievable rights, all trash he could take care of and take care of all the trash in process.
01:52:28.420
Because he was going to do all of these experiments to redesign American cities.
01:52:35.160
So, he wanted this large scope where he could do just about anything.
01:52:48.080
Now, Walt died in 66, I mean 65, the governor and Walt Disney and Roy Disney said,
01:52:56.620
Hey, Disney Florida Project, it's coming to Florida.
01:53:12.860
And he says, Please promise me that you will build Epcot.
01:53:28.980
The way everything worked, from traffic to housing, to paint, to everything, everything.
01:53:42.800
Because Roy is like, I don't, nobody understood that vision.
01:53:53.340
So, he dies a year after this is given, this power.
01:53:58.040
Now, this power allows Disney to be their own police, everything.
01:54:05.340
It gives them, most importantly, it gives them the power of no inspections.
01:54:20.320
You don't have to wait for county approval or anything.
01:54:27.240
And they have that because Walt was so trusted, and the brand was so strong, and Florida was
01:54:37.220
Well, Disney made them the number one destination.
01:54:48.840
All of the hoops and red tape that you have to put up with if you want to build a new ride.
01:54:55.380
All of the inspections, all of the money that goes to the county and the state for all of
01:55:13.080
First of all, the reason why they have those privileges ended in 1966.
01:55:18.760
They have kept those privileges, and they've been decent stewards of their park and the
01:55:26.400
land, etc., etc., but it has become an unfair advantage the minute other parks started to
01:55:41.400
Now the state has partnered with Disney, and really, they can do anything they want because
01:55:53.620
So when he's arguing with Disney, and Disney starts to get involved in politics, DeSantis,
01:56:07.160
It was like, okay, really, you're going to cross into politics.
01:56:12.100
I think you've gotten too big for your britches, and let me look into you guys.
01:56:22.440
DeSantis, I don't know if he even knew about the history of the, I think it's the Reedy
01:56:29.780
I don't even know if he knew the real history before he started looking into it.
01:56:33.780
This is something that should have been dropped a long time ago.
01:56:36.700
If you believe in the free market, but they're suing him and saying that they deserve that,
01:56:44.660
It was a deal in 1965 for Walt, not Roy, for Walt.
01:56:52.060
And I think you could argue, look, as a conservative, moving closer to that for all the parks might
01:57:03.960
Like, giving other parks the rights to be a little bit more innovative and do their own
01:57:10.180
Maybe not that entire package they gave Walt, but like, I think lowering red tape is a great
01:57:17.680
But these other places don't have those rights.
01:57:20.340
And you can't give, just because Disney, that I know of, hasn't had a lot of people die on
01:57:29.000
They should still have to go through inspections.
01:57:36.600
That's the state not being involved, I'll tell you that right now.
01:57:39.480
But like, because I agree with you here, right?
01:57:42.620
I agree that they should not have special rights.
01:57:45.980
But we are kind of kidding ourselves if we think the reason he changed this policy or
01:57:58.220
But then they, before the changeover happened, they passed a bunch of ridiculous, like, for
01:58:04.180
the next hundred years, we get to do whatever we want type of restrictions, right?
01:58:07.480
It's hard to follow this stuff exactly, and everyone's kind of giving their own piece of
01:58:12.020
But the bottom line is, Ron DeSantis is not doing this because he thinks the special area
01:58:22.160
It's because of this additional controversy with the way that they were jumping into politics.
01:58:27.780
You know, when you have something that is so really great, and you know it, and others
01:58:36.720
don't really know it, and haven't been bringing it up, that's why you just want to play nice.
01:58:46.040
And they weren't playing nice, and they thought they held all the cards.
01:58:51.720
Because there's been a lot of politicians over the years that have wanted to reverse this.
01:58:56.260
This is not the first time people have talked about it.
01:58:58.980
This is just the first time they actually got it done.
01:59:01.620
So, you know, it's somebody jumping up, getting in your face, and saying, really?
01:59:11.140
And the state's saying, huh, well, that's interesting.
01:59:17.420
I'm just going to take away all those favors, because right now, you created the political
01:59:24.020
So, I have the support to change that right now.
01:59:29.240
They've been trying for decades, but everybody liked you, and so it could never be changed.
01:59:36.420
But now, you've made yourself unlikable, and I'm not holding the dogs at bay.
01:59:44.500
But, but, if, because I think every conservative was on board with that, or most of them, right?
01:59:52.800
They stepped in it, and they should have to pay a punishment.
01:59:58.700
But then they, right before this changeover, did something to allow themselves to have many
02:00:05.000
of these rights for a very long time in the future.
02:00:07.540
And if his stance was, I will show you my power, and they said, it's not going to work
02:00:14.540
on us, and now they're suing, if he can't find a way to present this to the voters as
02:00:20.960
a win, it's going to look bad for him, and it's going to be an anchor on this campaign.
02:00:25.640
It's going to be bad, but especially because people don't understand how unfair the business
02:00:36.660
This has been argued about for a very long time, and so they think, oh, he's just being
02:00:42.220
No, he's letting them, they created the situation to where that could pass, and it will be a
02:00:49.500
problem, because Donald Trump will make it a huge issue.
02:00:56.560
So, and again, like, so far, the answer has been, you know, you've heard rumors of like,
02:01:01.920
It's like, I don't think that's the way you're going to get a win out of this.
02:01:04.680
He's got to find something to reverse what they did, and it's, I don't know what the
02:01:09.160
legal ramifications of that, but he needs to find that way.
02:01:11.800
So, let me tell you about CarShield, our sponsor.
02:01:15.540
When your car goes down, it's always a hassle, and it's never good.
02:01:19.480
There's never a good time to spend money on your car.
02:01:24.180
You know, I don't know why I'm so unreasonable, but I'm like, I paid good money for this car.
02:01:32.900
It's just, I just want it to run and never be a problem.
02:01:36.720
That's unreasonable, and when it does break down, now with the chips and everything else,
02:01:45.380
I got CarShield for my trucks at the farm, because I've got a couple of old trucks,
02:01:50.340
and I literally, they just, they're hauling stuff and doing work on the farm and the ranch,
02:01:55.220
and I want to drive them until the doors fall off.
02:01:58.320
And when the doors fall off, I might just put a rope chain kind of across the door.
02:02:05.240
Well, I have CarShield, and they have saved me thousands of dollars in repair.
02:02:10.660
I would have replaced these cars if I hadn't have had CarShield, which I really didn't want to do.
02:02:21.000
Um, it will, you'll be driving your car longer if that's a goal of yours.
02:02:25.580
Uh, and if it's just a goal of yours not to pay out for all the big things that happen,
02:03:06.760
How many people even have heard anything but maybe one news break about the April 15th shooting
02:03:33.000
It happened at a dance studio with a 16-year-old.
02:03:38.240
It's one of the largest shootings in American history.
02:03:47.400
What's wild about this is all of the kids that were killed are black.
02:03:53.860
But all of the people that killed them were also black.
02:04:02.000
And they're all charged with four counts of murder.
02:04:09.400
In fact, the BBC ran the story and said a community mourns and everyone in the picture was white.
02:04:19.480
Gosh, guys, why don't, why aren't you standing on this story?
02:04:27.180
And why are you only featuring white people in that story?
02:04:32.660
You want to talk about using black people and not caring?
