The Glenn Beck Program - Who's the Bigger Threat： Putin or Our Own Government？｜ Guests： Mike Pompeo & Christopher Rufo ｜ 4⧸12⧸24

00:00:00.000 Let me talk to you a little bit about American Giant, American quality.

00:00:04.440 Those words still mean something to me.

00:00:07.800 I think they mean something to you as well.

00:00:10.560 It's one of the reasons why American Giant is one of my favorite companies.

00:00:15.620 They're a company that just doesn't think about what they can do.

00:00:18.980 They think about what they should do, and then they do it.

00:00:22.080 When you buy American Giant clothing, you're investing in American manufacturing,

00:00:25.980 American workers, American towns.

00:00:27.960 You're investing in the process that can help save our country.

00:00:32.100 We have got to save our jobs in these local towns.

00:00:37.280 We've got to rebuild our local communities.

00:00:42.200 American Giant is doing their part.

00:00:43.800 You can get cheaper clothing, but you're never going to get that same American quality,

00:00:48.080 and you're not going to be helping out building, rebuilding our country like you will

00:00:53.540 with a great pair of pants or shirts or jackets or hoodies.

00:01:06.700 We'll see you next time.

00:01:28.180 And hold the line.

00:01:32.700 It's a new day

00:01:36.140 It's time to raise

00:01:38.680 Welcome to the fusion

00:01:44.320 of entertainment

00:01:47.080 and enlightenment.

00:01:51.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:55.700 Hello, America.

00:01:57.900 Welcome to the program.

00:01:59.200 It's Friday.

00:02:01.360 Let's say you need your car

00:02:02.460 to do something really important.

00:02:04.100 Paint the picture for you.

00:02:05.020 Let's say 1993,

00:02:07.920 white Ford Bronco.

00:02:10.000 Now that thing is way out of warranty,

00:02:12.440 but you're going to need it later,

00:02:13.640 you know,

00:02:13.920 because you've got to drive down the highway

00:02:15.120 for a while.

00:02:17.080 How embarrassing would it be

00:02:18.900 if all of a sudden

00:02:19.800 you got a breakdown right there

00:02:21.600 in front of a bunch of,

00:02:22.620 I don't know,

00:02:24.200 people with cameras

00:02:25.180 and police behind you,

00:02:26.700 let's just say.

00:02:28.000 I bet you're going to seriously regret

00:02:29.640 not getting CarShield.

00:02:30.900 Maybe one or two other things as well,

00:02:33.040 but for almost two decades,

00:02:34.980 CarShield has been helping

00:02:36.080 millions of drivers

00:02:37.400 avoid the stress of major repairs.

00:02:40.260 They offer plans covering

00:02:41.300 up to 5,000 parts and systems

00:02:43.980 from your engine and transmission

00:02:45.380 to the electronics and more,

00:02:47.700 all for a low monthly rate

00:02:49.820 that fits your budget.

00:02:51.460 CarShield plans also include

00:02:53.320 unlimited miles,

00:02:54.260 24-7 roadside assistance,

00:02:55.880 rental options.

00:02:56.600 Get peace of mind now.

00:02:58.900 Call 800-227-6100.

00:03:01.860 I don't know if CarShield

00:03:02.940 could have given you,

00:03:04.500 if you were the driver

00:03:05.360 of that Bronco or,

00:03:07.180 you know,

00:03:07.860 cowering in the back,

00:03:08.880 crying,

00:03:09.580 I don't know if it would have

00:03:10.420 given you peace of mind,

00:03:11.320 but it's worth a shot.

00:03:12.320 800-227-6100.

00:03:15.200 800-227-6100.

00:03:17.900 CarShield.com

00:03:19.200 slash Beck.

00:03:21.020 All right.

00:03:23.440 Batting down the hatches.

00:03:24.780 That is my theme today,

00:03:27.480 batting down the hatches.

00:03:28.780 I have told you in the past

00:03:30.400 what I think is coming,

00:03:32.060 and I hope I'm wrong.

00:03:33.460 I hope I'm wrong,

00:03:34.520 but things will change

00:03:36.220 very rapidly

00:03:37.940 if I am right.

00:03:40.300 When this,

00:03:41.700 and I don't know what

00:03:42.620 the final domino will be

00:03:43.940 that will have to fall,

00:03:44.960 that will just start it all

00:03:46.900 collapsing on us,

00:03:49.120 but there's a domino

00:03:51.280 on the horizon,

00:03:52.000 and it is a,

00:03:53.620 it's growing closer and closer.

00:03:57.840 The U.S. today

00:03:59.320 is approaching

00:04:00.440 the Minsky moment

00:04:01.640 of issuing

00:04:03.080 $1 trillion

00:04:04.240 of debt

00:04:05.280 every 100 days.

00:04:07.480 Now,

00:04:08.080 why is this

00:04:09.300 such a bad moment?

00:04:10.780 Well,

00:04:11.400 because as we do that,

00:04:12.860 the interest

00:04:13.720 on the U.S. debt

00:04:14.800 now

00:04:15.760 at $1.1 trillion

00:04:18.160 is about to surpass

00:04:20.600 Social Security spending

00:04:22.000 and become

00:04:23.420 the single largest

00:04:25.320 government outlay

00:04:26.460 before the end

00:04:28.220 of the year.

00:04:29.360 This is something

00:04:30.340 I remember,

00:04:31.880 in fact,

00:04:32.300 I have a speech

00:04:33.180 in our library here,

00:04:35.340 handwritten

00:04:35.900 by

00:04:37.180 Gerald Ford,

00:04:40.060 1975 maybe,

00:04:42.480 where he's talking about

00:04:43.820 this is out of control

00:04:45.540 spending

00:04:46.120 back then

00:04:47.000 and we

00:04:48.440 will not

00:04:49.480 be able

00:04:50.080 to pay

00:04:50.600 for that

00:04:51.080 at some point.

00:04:52.480 We've got

00:04:53.240 to stop.

00:04:54.180 Ever since then,

00:04:55.000 we have just

00:04:55.540 accelerated.

00:04:58.220 We're talking

00:04:59.100 $1.6 trillion

00:05:01.300 in interest

00:05:03.060 alone.

00:05:04.060 Now,

00:05:04.560 you know what it's like

00:05:05.560 when,

00:05:05.980 if you have

00:05:06.440 an adjustable

00:05:06.980 mortgage,

00:05:08.120 if you have

00:05:08.620 an adjustable

00:05:09.080 mortgage right now,

00:05:09.980 you're pretty screwed. 0.55

00:05:12.400 If you don't

00:05:13.500 have an adjustable

00:05:14.360 mortgage,

00:05:14.900 you're not

00:05:15.200 worrying about it.

00:05:16.120 But the United

00:05:17.420 States government

00:05:18.340 has an adjustable

00:05:19.660 mortgage.

00:05:21.200 And so we are

00:05:22.620 headed towards

00:05:23.480 a place

00:05:24.020 where you're

00:05:25.200 just not able

00:05:26.320 to keep up

00:05:27.000 with it.

00:05:27.840 So last night,

00:05:29.820 something happened.

00:05:30.940 Something happened

00:05:31.660 that is

00:05:32.360 quite

00:05:33.340 bizarre.

00:05:35.040 In

00:05:35.840 the finance

00:05:37.060 world,

00:05:37.680 they say

00:05:38.500 there are

00:05:39.280 decades

00:05:40.260 where nothing

00:05:41.660 really happens.

00:05:42.580 and then

00:05:44.640 there are

00:05:45.420 times

00:05:45.960 where in

00:05:46.660 a few

00:05:47.040 weeks,

00:05:48.320 decades

00:05:48.780 happen.

00:05:50.000 I think

00:05:50.640 we're entering

00:05:51.160 that time.

00:05:52.080 You're going

00:05:52.780 to see

00:05:53.240 very

00:05:53.960 bold

00:05:55.580 movement

00:05:56.300 on a lot

00:05:57.000 of things.

00:05:57.800 My grandfather

00:05:58.520 taught me

00:05:59.200 he lived

00:06:01.360 through the

00:06:01.600 Great Depression.

00:06:02.620 If we only

00:06:03.780 would have

00:06:04.200 known what

00:06:04.780 the Rockefellers 0.88

00:06:05.700 knew,

00:06:06.800 things would

00:06:07.980 have been

00:06:08.340 a little

00:06:08.640 better for us.

00:06:09.680 but we

00:06:10.960 didn't.

00:06:12.420 The Rockefellers 0.97

00:06:13.140 did.

00:06:14.220 The Rockefellers 0.97

00:06:15.000 moved their

00:06:16.360 money,

00:06:16.860 did the

00:06:17.260 things that

00:06:17.840 they had

00:06:18.280 to do

00:06:18.760 prior to

00:06:20.300 all of

00:06:20.640 these things

00:06:22.160 happening.

00:06:25.340 Last

00:06:26.020 night,

00:06:27.020 gold

00:06:28.280 surged

00:06:29.000 higher

00:06:29.640 to an

00:06:30.340 all-time

00:06:31.060 high.

00:06:32.560 Then,

00:06:33.320 it spiked

00:06:34.020 another $15

00:06:35.180 in a matter

00:06:36.160 of seconds.

00:06:38.160 And now,

00:06:38.700 just in

00:06:39.960 a matter

00:06:41.220 of hours,

00:06:42.660 if not

00:06:43.040 minutes,

00:06:43.760 the spot

00:06:45.080 price of

00:06:45.660 gold is

00:06:46.120 up to

00:06:46.420 $2,400.

00:06:47.920 Now,

00:06:48.240 this is

00:06:49.460 where it

00:06:49.880 was this

00:06:50.580 morning,

00:06:51.560 two hours

00:06:52.200 ago.

00:06:52.820 I'm looking

00:06:53.640 at the

00:06:53.940 gold price

00:06:54.540 now.

00:06:55.080 It is

00:06:55.340 up another

00:06:55.800 $15

00:06:56.440 currently.

00:07:02.080 The June

00:07:03.080 contract

00:07:03.700 just hit

00:07:04.580 a new

00:07:04.940 all-time

00:07:05.600 high.

00:07:06.160 People

00:07:06.500 saying that

00:07:07.060 they are

00:07:07.500 betting

00:07:08.300 that gold

00:07:09.040 is going

00:07:09.460 to be

00:07:09.760 about

00:07:10.160 $2,406.09

00:07:13.460 by June.

00:07:16.720 As of

00:07:17.740 right now,

00:07:18.940 it is

00:07:19.400 already

00:07:20.120 $2,415

00:07:24.460 per ounce.

00:07:28.540 This is

00:07:29.800 the biggest

00:07:30.560 move that

00:07:31.600 gold has

00:07:32.300 made

00:07:32.880 since the

00:07:34.480 1970s.

00:07:36.500 We have

00:07:37.220 been waiting

00:07:37.780 and waiting

00:07:38.260 and waiting

00:07:38.700 to see

00:07:39.260 what is

00:07:39.680 going on.

00:07:40.320 Bitcoin

00:07:40.620 already

00:07:41.440 took off.

00:07:43.060 Bitcoin's

00:07:43.540 been going

00:07:44.020 for a

00:07:44.500 while.

00:07:45.580 They do

00:07:46.320 everything

00:07:46.760 they can

00:07:47.560 to suppress

00:07:48.500 the price

00:07:49.340 of gold.

00:07:50.600 The government

00:07:51.540 knows,

00:07:52.440 all the

00:07:52.860 governments

00:07:53.160 know,

00:07:53.680 that this

00:07:54.460 is an

00:07:55.620 issue.

00:07:56.060 When people

00:07:56.480 start to

00:07:56.920 see gold

00:07:57.640 go up,

00:07:58.580 people at

00:07:59.020 least that

00:07:59.380 are my

00:07:59.840 age,

00:08:00.600 realize what

00:08:02.320 that is

00:08:02.700 really all

00:08:03.200 about,

00:08:03.920 especially

00:08:04.660 since the

00:08:05.940 government

00:08:06.420 suppresses the

00:08:07.680 price of

00:08:08.180 gold.

00:08:10.940 So what

00:08:11.740 does all

00:08:12.080 of this

00:08:12.540 mean?

00:08:13.740 This means

00:08:14.800 buckle up. 0.96

00:08:16.780 Buckle up. 0.96

00:08:19.000 People who,

00:08:20.500 and it's

00:08:20.780 mainly the

00:08:21.420 central banks,

00:08:22.020 central banks

00:08:22.580 are buying up

00:08:23.320 gold like

00:08:24.300 it's nobody's

00:08:25.480 business.

00:08:27.440 You know

00:08:27.700 which central

00:08:28.580 bank is not

00:08:29.120 buying up

00:08:29.520 gold?

00:08:30.520 Us.

00:08:32.400 China loading

00:08:33.560 up on

00:08:34.000 gold.

00:08:34.560 Russia loading

00:08:35.660 up on

00:08:36.080 gold.

00:08:36.420 What is the

00:08:36.780 United States

00:08:37.380 doing?

00:08:38.140 Nothing.

00:08:39.460 Nothing but

00:08:40.300 spending.

00:08:42.280 So there's a

00:08:43.220 couple of

00:08:43.580 things that are

00:08:44.140 coming our

00:08:44.840 way.

00:08:45.380 Either another

00:08:46.200 QE, another 0.99

00:08:47.480 quantitative easing

00:08:48.600 where they're

00:08:49.120 just going to

00:08:49.840 come in and

00:08:51.100 do what they

00:08:51.680 did in 08

00:08:52.440 and do what

00:08:53.400 they did over

00:08:54.200 and over and

00:08:54.840 over again,

00:08:55.360 which is only

00:08:56.300 going to make

00:08:56.960 things worse.

00:08:58.580 Or what?

00:09:01.280 Or what?

00:09:04.000 Fix it?

00:09:07.220 Gold is

00:09:08.320 smelling

00:09:08.740 something and

00:09:10.720 we are

00:09:11.720 headed for

00:09:12.760 real trouble.

00:09:15.280 Now,

00:09:16.560 as you look

00:09:19.460 at this and

00:09:20.680 you know that

00:09:21.500 our financial

00:09:23.160 house is way

00:09:24.440 out of order,

00:09:25.080 we're going

00:09:27.060 to talk about

00:09:27.640 the economy

00:09:28.280 in a couple

00:09:29.640 of hours on

00:09:30.360 today's podcast.

00:09:31.420 Today is a

00:09:32.040 don't miss

00:09:32.580 podcast because

00:09:33.520 it all revolves

00:09:34.760 around a

00:09:35.640 couple of

00:09:36.060 themes and

00:09:36.760 the major

00:09:37.780 theme is

00:09:38.900 what's coming

00:09:40.720 next?

00:09:42.700 Batten down

00:09:43.220 the hatches.

00:09:44.300 What is

00:09:45.560 coming in

00:09:46.980 the next few

00:09:47.800 months between

00:09:49.780 now and

00:09:50.520 Christmas that

00:09:51.640 you need to be

00:09:52.240 aware of?

00:09:52.860 Well,

00:09:53.940 the FBI

00:09:54.400 chief has

00:09:55.420 now warned

00:09:56.060 of a

00:09:56.620 coordinated

00:09:57.300 attack.

00:09:58.380 Christopher

00:09:58.880 Wray was

00:09:59.720 testifying,

00:10:01.560 saying that

00:10:02.060 the FBI is

00:10:03.060 growing increasingly

00:10:04.040 concerned about

00:10:04.840 a potential

00:10:05.380 attack in

00:10:06.220 the U.S.

00:10:06.820 similar to

00:10:07.400 last month's

00:10:08.140 Russia concert

00:10:08.880 hall shooting.

00:10:09.540 Now, let

00:10:10.840 me ask

00:10:11.240 you, when

00:10:13.940 somebody goes

00:10:15.400 into a

00:10:16.220 concert hall,

00:10:16.820 a group of

00:10:17.360 people go

00:10:17.820 into a

00:10:18.240 concert hall

00:10:18.820 and they

00:10:20.540 start shooting

00:10:21.840 Americans,

00:10:22.700 just slaughtering

00:10:24.280 them, when

00:10:26.000 they go into

00:10:26.740 a mall and

00:10:28.580 they just

00:10:29.340 start slaughtering

00:10:30.280 people, they

00:10:32.000 go into a

00:10:32.580 school and

00:10:33.340 they start

00:10:33.780 slaughtering

00:10:34.300 people and

00:10:34.840 this is all

00:10:35.640 happening in a

00:10:36.640 week or two,

00:10:37.220 what do

00:10:38.680 you think

00:10:39.220 the American

00:10:39.820 people are

00:10:40.600 going to

00:10:41.080 do?

00:10:42.040 Do you

00:10:42.680 think we're

00:10:43.080 going to

00:10:43.440 sit on our

00:10:43.980 hands?

00:10:45.180 What do you

00:10:46.020 think the

00:10:46.480 government will

00:10:47.800 do?

00:10:48.720 Well, they'll

00:10:49.120 be looking for

00:10:49.760 mis and

00:10:50.080 disinformation,

00:10:51.120 that's for

00:10:52.060 sure.

00:10:52.680 They'll be

00:10:53.140 looking for

00:10:53.720 anybody who

00:10:54.240 is talking

00:10:54.820 about, you

00:10:55.800 know, real

00:10:56.260 trouble with

00:10:56.940 the economy

00:10:57.540 because we're

00:10:59.180 really fragile

00:10:59.880 right now.

00:11:00.520 Anybody starting

00:11:01.200 to talk down

00:11:01.780 the economy,

00:11:02.480 starting to say

00:11:03.080 things like,

00:11:03.900 we can't

00:11:04.400 afford what

00:11:05.500 we're doing

00:11:06.080 and this is

00:11:07.140 going to

00:11:07.800 disrupt the

00:11:09.360 economy in

00:11:10.260 a global

00:11:11.940 way, of

00:11:13.920 course, they'll

00:11:15.000 have to say

00:11:15.480 that that is

00:11:16.140 nonsense and

00:11:17.200 dangerous to

00:11:18.000 say, etc.,

00:11:18.820 etc.

00:11:19.500 And then

00:11:20.100 they'll start

00:11:20.540 looking for

00:11:21.100 the bad

00:11:21.540 guys.

00:11:25.960 But what

00:11:26.620 do you do

00:11:27.100 in a country

00:11:27.640 where the

00:11:28.060 bad guys

00:11:28.800 are known

00:11:29.880 and nobody's

00:11:31.460 doing anything

00:11:31.940 about it?

00:11:33.960 Let me tell

00:11:34.700 you this story

00:11:35.200 came out.

00:11:35.920 An illegal

00:11:36.340 alien from 0.65

00:11:37.080 Afghanistan

00:11:37.720 who's a

00:11:38.340 member of

00:11:38.800 the Islamic

00:11:39.480 terrorist group

00:11:40.680 is roaming

00:11:41.960 the streets

00:11:42.500 now in

00:11:42.860 America.

00:11:43.640 We had

00:11:44.560 him, but

00:11:47.120 ICE decided

00:11:48.560 not to tell

00:11:49.320 the judge

00:11:49.920 anything about

00:11:50.880 his terrorist

00:11:51.660 activities and

00:11:53.140 so he's loose

00:11:54.140 on the streets

00:11:54.880 of America.

00:11:56.000 We don't know

00:11:57.060 where he is.

00:11:57.580 Listen to this

00:11:58.020 from NBC.

00:11:58.760 Tonight, an

00:12:01.980 alarming

00:12:02.340 development in

00:12:03.080 the border

00:12:03.400 crisis.

00:12:03.840 Among the

00:12:04.460 record number

00:12:05.020 of migrants 0.99

00:12:05.460 crossing the

00:12:06.000 southern border

00:12:06.520 was a member

00:12:07.340 of an Afghan 0.55

00:12:08.020 terror organization

00:12:09.160 who was released

00:12:10.420 into the U.S.

00:12:11.240 by border

00:12:11.740 agents,

00:12:12.480 according to

00:12:13.000 U.S.

00:12:13.360 officials.

00:12:14.340 48-year-old

00:12:15.140 Mohammed Harwin

00:12:16.080 illegally crossed

00:12:16.960 into California

00:12:17.680 in March of

00:12:18.340 last year.

00:12:19.280 His name is on

00:12:20.120 a U.S.

00:12:20.600 terror watch

00:12:21.160 list,

00:12:21.920 identifying him

00:12:22.720 as a member

00:12:23.280 of HIG,

00:12:24.120 a terror group

00:12:24.980 that's killed

00:12:25.540 Americans

00:12:26.100 in Afghanistan.

00:12:27.440 Border agents

00:12:28.080 suspected he

00:12:28.820 was on the

00:12:29.300 watch list

00:12:29.680 at the time

00:12:30.180 of his

00:12:30.440 apprehension

00:12:31.040 but lacked

00:12:31.820 corroborating

00:12:32.500 information,

00:12:33.440 according to

00:12:33.920 U.S.

00:12:34.280 officials.

00:12:35.240 CBP released

00:12:36.220 him without

00:12:36.760 contacting the

00:12:37.560 FBI or

00:12:38.360 Immigration and

00:12:39.120 Customs

00:12:39.540 Enforcement,

00:12:40.100 those officials

00:12:40.600 told us.

00:12:41.640 Harwin was

00:12:42.100 allowed to

00:12:42.560 apply for

00:12:43.040 work authorization

00:12:43.840 and board

00:12:44.480 planes in the

00:12:45.120 U.S.,

00:12:45.640 according to

00:12:46.160 those officials.

00:12:47.520 After almost

00:12:48.200 a year,

00:12:48.800 ICE arrested

00:12:49.280 him here in

00:12:50.060 San Antonio.

00:12:51.100 When he went

00:12:51.540 to court,

00:12:52.080 U.S.

00:12:52.340 officials tell

00:12:52.900 us, ICE

00:12:53.640 officials withheld

00:12:54.460 classified

00:12:55.020 information about

00:12:56.260 his terrorism

00:12:56.820 ties.

00:12:57.860 A judge

00:12:58.340 ordered him

00:12:58.780 released on

00:12:59.360 $12,000 bonds,

00:13:01.000 which he posted

00:13:01.660 and was freed

00:13:02.460 last month.

00:13:03.960 Harwin's case

00:13:04.660 appears to be

00:13:05.420 just one of

00:13:06.160 at least three

00:13:06.820 incidents in

00:13:07.520 the past two

00:13:08.100 years involving

00:13:09.120 suspected terrorists

00:13:10.240 being released

00:13:11.180 by Customs and

00:13:11.920 Border Protection,

00:13:12.920 according to the

00:13:13.620 DHS Inspector

00:13:14.460 General in

00:13:15.200 Congress.

00:13:16.660 So we had him.

00:13:18.100 Now, if you were

00:13:18.780 watching this on

00:13:19.480 the Blaze TV,

00:13:21.160 you would notice

00:13:22.420 that there was

00:13:23.620 a shadow

00:13:24.760 picture of

00:13:25.460 him.

00:13:25.820 How do we

00:13:26.260 not have a

00:13:26.720 picture of

00:13:27.160 him?

00:13:27.620 Why are we

00:13:28.100 not showing

00:13:28.740 the picture

00:13:29.220 of this

00:13:29.720 guy?

00:13:30.400 Why?

00:13:31.640 So we can

00:13:32.280 protect his

00:13:33.820 identity?

00:13:35.220 His privacy?

00:13:38.860 So you have

00:13:39.720 this going on

00:13:40.600 where we know

00:13:41.500 terrorists have

00:13:42.120 come across the

00:13:42.800 border.

00:13:44.200 Who do you

00:13:44.800 think is going

00:13:45.140 to get the

00:13:45.440 blame for a

00:13:45.980 terrorist attack?

00:13:46.820 It will not

00:13:47.940 be those people

00:13:49.140 who kept the

00:13:50.380 border open.

00:13:50.980 They will see

00:13:51.860 to that.

00:13:53.040 They will

00:13:53.520 immediately

00:13:54.120 clamp down.

00:13:56.180 Meanwhile, we

00:13:57.380 have, well, we

00:14:00.060 have a whole

00:14:00.680 area that used

00:14:01.560 to be one of

00:14:02.100 the greatest

00:14:02.680 areas in

00:14:03.620 America for

00:14:04.560 industrial

00:14:05.720 production.

00:14:07.360 We now have

00:14:08.580 Jihad City, as

00:14:10.160 the Wall Street

00:14:10.780 Journal calls

00:14:11.500 it.

00:14:12.580 Here's

00:14:12.880 Rashida Tlaib,

00:14:15.780 who represents

00:14:17.700 that community

00:14:19.060 where they

00:14:20.420 had a

00:14:20.980 death to

00:14:21.600 America

00:14:22.140 chant and

00:14:23.500 talking about

00:14:24.720 and extolling

00:14:26.100 the words of

00:14:27.180 the Ayatollah

00:14:28.660 of Iran,

00:14:30.020 who is

00:14:30.920 promising to

00:14:31.700 hit America.

00:14:33.880 Here was,

00:14:35.020 if you remember,

00:14:35.840 last weekend,

00:14:37.160 death to

00:14:37.540 America,

00:14:38.120 death to

00:14:38.500 Israel,

00:14:38.960 death to

00:14:39.260 America,

00:14:39.840 America is

00:14:40.800 the real

00:14:41.240 problem.

00:14:42.360 So the

00:14:43.380 congresswoman

00:14:44.800 that answers,

00:14:47.700 to those

00:14:48.460 people,

00:14:49.580 here's what

00:14:50.920 she said when

00:14:51.600 approached,

00:14:52.220 can you just

00:14:52.680 explain,

00:14:53.980 you know,

00:14:54.320 can you

00:14:54.600 condemn

00:14:55.000 death to

00:14:55.560 America?

00:14:56.340 Congresswoman

00:14:56.900 Tlaib?

00:14:57.520 I don't talk

00:14:58.880 to Fox

00:14:59.300 News.

00:14:59.760 At a rally

00:15:00.320 in your

00:15:00.640 district,

00:15:01.200 people were

00:15:01.680 chanting

00:15:02.080 death to

00:15:02.760 America.

00:15:03.440 Do you

00:15:03.740 condemn?

00:15:04.360 Do you

00:15:06.400 condemn

00:15:06.780 chants of

00:15:07.340 death to

00:15:07.720 America?

00:15:08.240 I don't

00:15:09.120 talk to

00:15:09.720 people that

00:15:10.280 use racist

00:15:10.840 tropes.

00:15:11.540 Okay,

00:15:12.340 okay,

00:15:12.960 stop.

00:15:14.020 So racism

00:15:15.120 is worse

00:15:17.440 than

00:15:18.420 death to

00:15:19.140 America.

00:15:20.820 She's using 0.88

00:15:21.780 that as

00:15:22.560 an excuse

00:15:23.200 to not

00:15:24.100 answer the

00:15:25.200 question.

00:15:28.420 Okay,

00:15:29.380 all right.

00:15:31.460 Now Biden

00:15:32.200 said yesterday,

00:15:34.280 I used to

00:15:35.460 teach the

00:15:35.980 Second

00:15:36.240 Amendment in

00:15:36.840 law school.

00:15:37.740 From the

00:15:38.100 very beginning,

00:15:38.980 there were

00:15:39.260 limitations.

00:15:40.740 Uh-huh,

00:15:41.220 uh-huh.

00:15:41.880 Okay,

00:15:42.420 so wait,

00:15:43.200 what are we

00:15:43.520 doing here?

00:15:45.360 Biden is

00:15:46.100 saying he

00:15:47.060 is going

00:15:47.820 to go

00:15:48.200 after people's

00:15:49.000 guns.

00:15:49.620 He is

00:15:50.160 going to

00:15:50.560 take executive

00:15:51.460 action on

00:15:52.980 people's

00:15:53.500 guns.

00:15:53.920 If there's

00:15:54.720 a terrorist

00:15:55.260 attack,

00:15:56.180 if somebody

00:15:57.020 goes in

00:15:57.540 and just

00:15:57.920 shoots up

00:15:58.520 a mall,

00:15:59.300 what do

00:15:59.780 you think

00:16:00.340 this president

00:16:01.120 will do?

00:16:03.620 Of course

00:16:04.360 he's going

00:16:04.760 to take

00:16:05.100 your guns.

00:16:06.500 We are

00:16:07.280 in a

00:16:07.560 situation

00:16:08.000 where the

00:16:08.580 streets

00:16:08.920 are more

00:16:09.420 dangerous

00:16:10.000 than any

00:16:11.100 time I

00:16:11.540 remember in

00:16:12.040 my lifetime.

00:16:12.840 the government

00:16:14.360 is out of

00:16:14.960 control in

00:16:15.660 a way I've

00:16:16.220 never seen

00:16:17.200 nor would I

00:16:18.360 ever have

00:16:18.840 predicted 30

00:16:20.060 years ago.

00:16:21.180 Couldn't

00:16:21.740 happen in

00:16:22.240 America.

00:16:23.420 Well,

00:16:24.000 it's happening.

00:16:24.840 And what is

00:16:25.420 the government

00:16:25.840 doing?

00:16:26.540 The government

00:16:27.220 is taxing you

00:16:28.600 to death

00:16:29.080 through the

00:16:29.820 hidden tax

00:16:30.620 of inflation.

00:16:31.940 They're making

00:16:32.840 it damn near

00:16:33.700 impossible for

00:16:34.700 you to have

00:16:35.740 your own

00:16:36.240 business or

00:16:36.900 start your

00:16:37.560 own business

00:16:38.080 or even

00:16:38.540 keep your

00:16:39.220 own business.

00:16:40.360 They are

00:16:41.200 importing

00:16:42.040 low-paying

00:16:47.860 workers who

00:16:50.240 are working

00:16:52.520 in slave

00:16:53.420 conditions.

00:16:56.080 Why?

00:16:57.320 Because they

00:16:58.900 can't call

00:16:59.580 anybody if

00:17:00.340 they're being

00:17:00.780 abused.

00:17:01.500 Who are

00:17:01.740 they going

00:17:01.920 to call?

00:17:03.280 You think

00:17:04.180 people are

00:17:04.640 like, you

00:17:05.000 know what,

00:17:05.440 you should

00:17:05.820 call a

00:17:06.740 labor union.

00:17:07.320 So they're

00:17:10.060 working in

00:17:10.620 slave conditions.

00:17:12.320 There are

00:17:12.720 foreign

00:17:13.520 foreigners

00:17:15.520 are responsible

00:17:17.400 for almost

00:17:18.100 all of the

00:17:18.880 job growth

00:17:19.680 in America.

00:17:25.200 So you

00:17:26.000 have

00:17:26.220 terror coming.

00:17:29.140 You have

00:17:29.540 out-of-control

00:17:30.020 spending.

00:17:31.120 You have the

00:17:31.800 government

00:17:32.100 taking our

00:17:33.100 jobs and

00:17:34.100 the government

00:17:34.680 also wanting

00:17:36.820 to take

00:17:37.340 our guns.

00:17:38.920 This has

00:17:39.320 happened

00:17:39.660 before.

00:17:40.740 In fact,

00:17:41.540 let me play

00:17:42.120 a clip

00:17:43.820 here.

00:17:44.520 This is

00:17:44.900 from a

00:17:45.240 woman who 0.99

00:17:46.960 is from

00:17:47.760 China,

00:17:49.000 moved to

00:17:49.580 the United

00:17:49.960 States.

00:17:50.480 She's an 0.95

00:17:50.880 immigrant,

00:17:51.520 legal

00:17:51.900 immigrant.

00:17:52.820 She's

00:17:53.300 talking gun

00:17:54.000 control with

00:17:55.380 David Hogg.

00:17:57.100 Listen to

00:17:57.400 what she

00:17:57.660 said.

00:17:58.500 Hi, my

00:17:59.000 name is

00:17:59.440 Lily Tang

00:18:00.120 Williams.

00:18:00.960 Welcome to

00:18:01.780 my live

00:18:03.040 free or die

00:18:03.940 state.

00:18:05.200 Actually, I

00:18:05.920 am a

00:18:06.540 Chinese

00:18:06.940 immigrant who

00:18:07.720 survived

00:18:08.180 communism.

00:18:09.440 Under Mao,

00:18:10.520 40 million

00:18:11.460 people were

00:18:12.140 starving to

00:18:12.780 death after

00:18:13.620 he sold

00:18:14.040 communism to

00:18:14.980 them.

00:18:15.760 20 million

00:18:16.460 people died

00:18:17.760 murdered during

00:18:19.120 his cultural

00:18:19.880 revolution.

00:18:21.340 My question

00:18:22.060 to you,

00:18:22.700 David, is

00:18:23.700 that can

00:18:24.180 you guarantee

00:18:24.980 me a gun

00:18:26.040 owner tonight?

00:18:27.400 Our

00:18:27.700 government in

00:18:28.680 the U.S.,

00:18:29.440 in D.C.,

00:18:30.520 will never,

00:18:31.440 never become

00:18:32.780 a tyrannical

00:18:33.840 government.

00:18:35.000 Can you

00:18:35.360 guarantee

00:18:35.740 that to

00:18:36.300 me?

00:18:37.100 There's no

00:18:37.440 way I can

00:18:37.760 ever guarantee

00:18:38.420 that any

00:18:38.960 government will

00:18:39.420 not be

00:18:39.760 tyrannical.

00:18:40.240 Well, then

00:18:40.580 the debate

00:18:41.220 on gun

00:18:41.680 control is

00:18:42.400 over, because

00:18:43.820 I will

00:18:44.360 never give

00:18:45.140 up my

00:18:45.600 guns.

00:18:46.400 Never,

00:18:47.000 never.

00:18:47.400 And you

00:18:47.760 should go

00:18:48.220 to China

00:18:48.840 to see how

00:18:49.620 gun control

00:18:50.400 works for

00:18:51.400 dictatorship of

00:18:52.980 the CCP.

00:18:53.600 trouble is

00:18:57.640 coming.

00:18:58.520 You don't

00:18:59.300 need to

00:18:59.740 fear.

00:19:01.040 It's not

00:19:01.880 a surprise

00:19:02.500 to God.

00:19:03.920 He has

00:19:04.500 things under

00:19:05.300 control.

00:19:06.800 We have

00:19:07.760 to remain

00:19:08.340 under control,

00:19:09.200 but for the

00:19:10.240 love of

00:19:11.740 God,

00:19:12.840 please,

00:19:14.640 mentally

00:19:15.240 prepare,

00:19:16.540 spiritually

00:19:17.180 prepare,

00:19:17.860 and temporally

00:19:20.240 prepare.

00:19:21.840 Make sure

00:19:22.580 your family

00:19:23.900 can survive

00:19:24.980 the things

00:19:25.900 that come

00:19:26.660 no matter

00:19:27.240 what they

00:19:27.840 are,

00:19:28.420 that you

00:19:29.340 can be a

00:19:30.120 help to

00:19:30.880 others.

00:19:31.480 There is

00:19:32.820 nothing more

00:19:33.740 important right

00:19:34.960 now, I

00:19:36.300 don't care

00:19:36.700 what it is,

00:19:38.320 than getting

00:19:38.920 yourself

00:19:39.580 spiritually and

00:19:41.560 temporally

00:19:42.320 prepared for

00:19:43.980 what is

00:19:44.740 coming next.

00:19:47.000 All right,

00:19:47.880 I think we

00:19:49.060 can all say

00:19:49.580 that we can

00:19:49.980 sleep a little

00:19:50.440 more soundly

00:19:50.980 now that OJ

00:19:51.600 is dead.

00:19:52.720 He is still

00:19:53.540 dead, right?

00:19:55.240 But maybe

00:19:56.320 that's not

00:19:56.700 enough for you.

00:19:57.180 Maybe you

00:19:57.500 still lie

00:19:58.080 awake at

00:19:58.540 night,

00:19:58.860 looking up

00:19:59.220 at the

00:19:59.440 ceiling,

00:19:59.860 thinking,

00:20:00.240 yes,

00:20:00.480 but what

00:20:00.800 if he

00:20:01.040 comes

00:20:01.300 back?

00:20:02.220 In that

00:20:02.880 case,

00:20:03.180 or any

00:20:03.540 case where

00:20:04.140 you're having

00:20:04.400 trouble getting

00:20:04.900 sleep,

00:20:05.340 maybe it's

00:20:05.680 time to

00:20:05.940 reach for

00:20:06.240 the bottle

00:20:06.580 of Relief

00:20:16.700 like you

00:20:17.560 a truck

00:20:17.880 the next

00:20:40.240 relieffactor.com

00:20:41.340 10 seconds,

00:20:42.020 station ID.

00:20:52.960 You know,

00:20:53.560 if you're

00:20:53.800 looking at

00:20:54.880 what to do,

00:20:55.760 what to do,

00:20:56.180 what to do,

00:20:56.560 I don't have

00:20:57.120 a lot of

00:20:57.460 money.

00:20:58.500 May I

00:20:59.120 suggest

00:20:59.700 silver?

00:21:01.300 If you're

00:21:02.720 looking to

00:21:03.660 save some

00:21:04.760 money that

00:21:05.300 you might

00:21:05.640 have just

00:21:06.280 buy silver,

00:21:08.040 it looks

00:21:10.440 like as

00:21:11.180 we are

00:21:11.820 getting closer

00:21:12.340 to $3,000

00:21:13.280 an ounce

00:21:13.880 by 2025,

00:21:15.380 that's what

00:21:15.680 experts are

00:21:16.200 saying,

00:21:17.260 silver will

00:21:18.340 also have

00:21:19.800 some demand.

00:21:21.240 It could

00:21:21.860 take silver

00:21:22.580 to over

00:21:23.060 $30 an

00:21:24.640 ounce over

00:21:25.200 the next

00:21:25.540 12 months.

00:21:26.420 Silver is,

00:21:27.420 I think,

00:21:28.480 it's more

00:21:29.020 volatile,

00:21:29.460 but I

00:21:30.880 think it

00:21:31.240 is a

00:21:31.700 great

00:21:33.060 backup

00:21:33.580 for

00:21:34.360 anything

00:21:34.620 that

00:21:34.960 might

00:21:35.580 happen.

00:21:37.040 I want

00:21:38.000 you also

00:21:38.460 to read

00:21:39.060 a couple

00:21:39.480 of things.

00:21:40.100 I want

00:21:40.340 you to

00:21:40.620 read

00:21:41.060 Michael

00:21:41.640 Schellenberger.

00:21:43.420 He just

00:21:44.500 wrote

00:21:44.920 an incredible

00:21:46.400 piece,

00:21:46.940 socialist

00:21:47.280 strategy

00:21:47.880 behind

00:21:48.360 Brazilian

00:21:48.940 President

00:21:49.480 Lula's

00:21:50.120 war on

00:21:50.840 free

00:21:51.120 speech,

00:21:52.200 not

00:21:52.540 censorship,

00:21:53.560 war on

00:21:54.060 free

00:21:54.320 speech,

00:21:55.100 remains the

00:21:55.640 only weapon

00:21:56.420 for

00:21:56.740 defeating

00:21:57.140 disinformation

00:21:57.860 and hate

00:21:58.440 speech,

00:21:59.280 and it's

00:21:59.740 by Michael

00:22:00.260 Schellenberger.

00:22:01.040 Now,

00:22:01.380 Schellenberger

00:22:01.940 in this

00:22:02.540 says that

00:22:04.080 he's

00:22:04.680 interviewed

00:22:05.320 Lula

00:22:06.440 before,

00:22:07.840 and was

00:22:09.300 kind of a

00:22:09.700 fan of

00:22:10.900 his.

00:22:11.980 What's

00:22:12.520 disturbing

00:22:13.040 in this

00:22:13.560 article,

00:22:13.900 and I'll

00:22:14.120 go into

00:22:14.480 it here

00:22:14.780 in a

00:22:14.980 minute,

00:22:15.340 is that

00:22:16.640 this isn't

00:22:17.200 about

00:22:17.560 Brazil.

00:22:18.520 This is

00:22:19.100 happening

00:22:19.820 everywhere

00:22:20.960 in the

00:22:21.700 Western

00:22:22.060 world,

00:22:22.740 and until

00:22:23.700 we shed

00:22:24.600 the scales

00:22:25.500 from our

00:22:26.000 eyes to

00:22:26.900 see this

00:22:27.420 is not

00:22:27.900 Republican

00:22:28.540 and Democrat,

00:22:30.000 that this

00:22:30.660 is the

00:22:31.480 elites of

00:22:32.800 all of the

00:22:33.720 Western

00:22:34.040 world against

00:22:35.080 the regular

00:22:35.740 person,

00:22:37.020 you won't

00:22:37.840 be able to

00:22:38.580 avoid the

00:22:39.380 collision.

00:22:40.680 I'll explain

00:22:41.700 coming up.

00:22:44.980 Glenn Beck.

00:22:46.780 The convenience

00:22:47.980 of the modern

00:22:48.740 American life

00:22:49.420 sometimes complicates

00:22:50.360 our efforts to

00:22:51.000 maintain our

00:22:51.740 values.

00:22:52.360 For instance,

00:22:53.340 not that long

00:22:53.960 ago, if you

00:22:55.260 wanted to

00:22:55.580 have good

00:22:55.960 cell phone

00:22:56.400 coverage,

00:22:56.840 you had to

00:22:57.160 go with the

00:22:57.640 big boys,

00:22:58.120 companies like

00:22:58.600 Verizon.

00:22:59.680 You didn't

00:23:00.000 have choice,

00:23:01.520 even if you

00:23:02.060 knew they

00:23:02.340 were donating

00:23:03.180 to leftist

00:23:03.840 causes that

00:23:04.360 were splitting

00:23:04.920 us apart.

00:23:06.140 Then Patriot

00:23:06.880 Mobile came

00:23:07.300 along.

00:23:07.740 They share

00:23:08.100 your values.

00:23:09.100 They're

00:23:09.200 America's

00:23:09.580 only Christian

00:23:10.140 conservative

00:23:10.640 wireless

00:23:11.100 provider,

00:23:11.700 and their

00:23:11.860 mission is

00:23:12.300 to passionately

00:23:12.860 defend our

00:23:13.380 God-given

00:23:13.780 constitutional

00:23:14.480 rights and

00:23:15.000 freedoms,

00:23:15.800 and to

00:23:16.240 glorify God

00:23:16.900 always.

00:23:18.040 Well,

00:23:18.680 they have

00:23:19.420 built a

00:23:19.820 great company

00:23:20.640 that does

00:23:21.460 glorify God,

00:23:22.380 honestly.

00:23:22.860 The way they

00:23:23.280 do it,

00:23:23.580 they do

00:23:23.880 honest business,

00:23:24.980 they give

00:23:25.680 you dependable

00:23:26.500 nationwide coverage,

00:23:27.580 you can access

00:23:28.160 any of the

00:23:28.620 three major

00:23:29.120 networks that

00:23:29.720 everybody's on,

00:23:30.680 but they don't

00:23:31.280 screw you at

00:23:31.940 bill time.

00:23:33.280 You don't have

00:23:34.100 to worry also

00:23:34.820 about part of

00:23:35.500 your bill going

00:23:36.240 to fund

00:23:36.840 leftist causes.

00:23:38.540 They're 100%

00:23:39.780 based.

00:23:40.820 U.S.

00:23:41.240 customer service

00:23:56.640 Also, you don't

00:24:00.800 original, bought

00:24:01.820 and paid for,

00:24:02.640 premiered this week,

00:24:03.560 available now

00:24:04.420 only at

00:24:05.920 blazetv.com.

00:24:07.920 Welcome to the

00:24:20.400 Glenn Beck

00:24:20.900 program.

00:24:21.720 I don't know

00:24:22.580 of a more

00:24:24.200 honest journalist

00:24:26.200 right now than

00:24:26.940 Michael Schellenberger.

00:24:28.240 I mean, we're

00:24:28.900 starting to see

00:24:29.620 them.

00:24:30.520 I was watching

00:24:32.760 Barry Weiss

00:24:34.440 last night.

00:24:35.060 I was at the

00:24:36.680 Majestic Theater

00:24:37.360 here in Dallas

00:24:38.020 and they had

00:24:39.220 a debate,

00:24:41.420 a civil debate

00:24:42.640 on closing

00:24:44.100 the U.S.

00:24:45.780 border.

00:24:46.920 And personally,

00:24:48.700 I thought it was

00:24:50.160 missing the

00:24:50.720 point.

00:24:52.280 You know, they

00:24:52.620 were talking

00:24:53.020 about should we

00:24:53.700 have zero

00:24:54.300 immigration or

00:24:55.240 some immigration

00:24:56.340 and that's not

00:24:58.440 what people are

00:24:59.200 upset about right

00:25:00.140 now.

00:25:00.520 They are upset

00:25:01.300 about an out

00:25:02.340 of control

00:25:03.240 border.

00:25:04.480 They're concerned

00:25:05.640 about people

00:25:06.760 coming over

00:25:07.760 here and

00:25:08.620 this red

00:25:10.660 herring of

00:25:12.480 well, but we

00:25:13.300 really need

00:25:14.400 comprehensive

00:25:15.760 immigration reform.

00:25:17.420 Yes!

00:25:18.220 After we shut

00:25:19.380 off the water.

00:25:21.380 After we shut

00:25:22.960 off the water

00:25:23.920 and the bathtub 0.74

00:25:25.440 is no longer

00:25:26.340 dripping through

00:25:27.480 our dining room,

00:25:28.740 then we can

00:25:29.920 talk about that.

00:25:31.180 But she's 0.97

00:25:34.880 another honest

00:25:35.940 journalist,

00:25:37.060 somebody else

00:25:37.660 who probably

00:25:38.400 is, you know,

00:25:39.580 I mean, she's

00:25:40.080 probably not

00:25:40.580 thrilled that I'm

00:25:41.240 talking, you

00:25:41.960 know, saying

00:25:43.480 great things

00:25:44.080 about her.

00:25:44.860 I'm sure we

00:25:45.680 don't agree on

00:25:46.300 a lot of

00:25:46.840 stuff.

00:25:48.480 But reasonable

00:25:49.720 people, this

00:25:51.940 is the thing

00:25:53.040 that's so

00:25:53.580 frustrating for

00:25:54.220 me.

00:25:56.100 We just

00:25:56.820 don't have

00:25:57.160 reason anymore.

00:25:57.880 reason is

00:26:02.380 what built

00:26:04.460 this nation

00:26:05.640 and not

00:26:07.820 using reason

00:26:08.920 is what gave

00:26:10.180 us every dark

00:26:11.380 period in

00:26:13.000 our country.

00:26:14.420 I can't say

00:26:15.380 that.

00:26:16.360 You know,

00:26:16.720 another, that

00:26:17.660 was, that

00:26:18.440 was, that

00:26:19.240 explains slavery,

00:26:21.080 okay?

00:26:22.320 Not using

00:26:22.880 reason.

00:26:23.660 but what

00:26:26.100 described, what

00:26:26.740 caused the

00:26:27.980 dark period

00:26:28.560 was the

00:26:29.640 misuse of

00:26:30.880 reason.

00:26:31.860 Darwin is

00:26:32.880 the one who

00:26:33.460 gave us

00:26:34.300 the, the,

00:26:36.700 he codified

00:26:37.920 racism.

00:26:39.960 He codified

00:26:41.280 it.

00:26:41.940 Oh, well, he,

00:26:42.660 you know, he

00:26:43.000 didn't really,

00:26:43.820 shut up. 0.95

00:26:45.340 Shut up. 0.95

00:26:46.240 It doesn't,

00:26:47.160 science took

00:26:52.360 Darwinism and

00:26:55.560 said, see, we

00:26:57.500 all evolve, but

00:26:58.720 part of what

00:26:59.780 Darwin was

00:27:00.700 saying is

00:27:01.840 there are

00:27:03.080 subspecies,

00:27:05.360 groups of

00:27:06.460 people that

00:27:07.840 haven't evolved

00:27:09.100 yet enough.

00:27:13.020 Well, that

00:27:13.820 just let

00:27:14.480 racists go,

00:27:15.560 wow, follow

00:27:16.120 the science,

00:27:16.720 look at,

00:27:17.200 even, even

00:27:17.920 scientists are

00:27:19.120 saying it.

00:27:20.020 And then that

00:27:20.740 led to

00:27:21.420 eugenics.

00:27:22.540 Let's get

00:27:23.180 rid of the

00:27:23.900 inferior people,

00:27:25.640 which led to

00:27:27.240 the Holocaust,

00:27:28.220 which is

00:27:28.800 leading to

00:27:29.560 another

00:27:29.880 Holocaust 0.95

00:27:30.260 today.

00:27:32.520 It's

00:27:33.160 coming.

00:27:34.160 It's

00:27:34.500 coming.

00:27:36.260 Unless we

00:27:37.960 remember.

00:27:40.700 Boy, every

00:27:41.600 day it

00:27:42.160 becomes more

00:27:42.660 and more

00:27:42.880 clear to

00:27:43.400 me.

00:27:47.340 What

00:27:47.940 Paulina told 0.54

00:27:48.640 me, one

00:27:49.220 of the

00:27:49.460 righteous

00:27:49.780 among the

00:27:50.500 nations,

00:27:51.820 somebody who

00:27:52.380 is at 16

00:27:53.100 years old

00:27:53.640 saving Jews

00:27:54.620 in Poland,

00:27:56.420 she told me

00:27:57.740 in Auschwitz,

00:27:59.920 you know,

00:28:01.240 that we

00:28:01.560 didn't suddenly

00:28:02.120 become

00:28:02.460 righteous.

00:28:03.000 We just

00:28:03.320 didn't go over

00:28:05.820 the cliff with

00:28:06.680 the rest of

00:28:07.160 humanity.

00:28:07.680 What she's

00:28:08.100 saying is it

00:28:08.820 doesn't take

00:28:09.580 anything.

00:28:10.380 It doesn't

00:28:11.500 take anything

00:28:12.320 to be a

00:28:13.240 hero.

00:28:14.320 All it

00:28:15.080 takes is

00:28:15.920 remembering.

00:28:18.880 Remembering

00:28:19.640 what's right

00:28:20.320 and what's

00:28:20.840 wrong.

00:28:21.800 And when

00:28:22.120 there is

00:28:22.560 fear,

00:28:23.880 you forget

00:28:25.280 because you

00:28:26.780 stop

00:28:27.260 reasoning.

00:28:29.660 And that's

00:28:30.120 why if

00:28:31.040 you're not

00:28:31.740 prepared now

00:28:32.820 for what is

00:28:33.480 coming,

00:28:34.440 you will

00:28:35.220 live in

00:28:35.840 fear.

00:28:36.280 Fear.

00:28:36.340 Fear.

00:28:40.380 I'm trying

00:28:41.700 to do the

00:28:42.400 opposite of

00:28:43.080 what everybody

00:28:43.580 used to

00:28:44.760 accuse me of.

00:28:45.340 You're just

00:28:45.820 fear-mongering.

00:28:46.540 I'm not

00:28:46.920 fear-mongering.

00:28:48.240 I am telling

00:28:49.400 you the

00:28:49.820 logical

00:28:50.540 conclusion

00:28:51.640 of where

00:28:52.700 we end

00:28:53.440 up by

00:28:54.240 using

00:28:54.720 reason.

00:28:55.820 And I'm

00:28:56.280 telling you

00:28:56.700 this in

00:28:57.060 advance so

00:28:57.940 you can

00:28:58.340 stop it

00:28:59.280 or you

00:29:00.220 can prepare

00:29:00.880 for it if

00:29:01.540 enough people

00:29:02.100 don't wake

00:29:02.940 up.

00:29:04.480 That way

00:29:05.240 you won't

00:29:05.920 be afraid

00:29:06.640 because you'll

00:29:09.120 be prepared

00:29:09.800 and there

00:29:12.820 is something

00:29:13.240 happening and

00:29:14.040 Schellenberger is

00:29:15.260 pointing this

00:29:16.020 out in his

00:29:17.800 socialist strategy

00:29:18.960 behind Brazilian

00:29:20.240 President Lula's

00:29:21.220 war on free

00:29:22.180 speech and it

00:29:24.020 is a must

00:29:25.040 read, a must

00:29:26.300 read.

00:29:27.240 It's in my

00:29:27.860 show prep

00:29:28.460 today.

00:29:29.240 You can find

00:29:29.820 it if you

00:29:30.480 follow me on

00:29:31.080 X.

00:29:31.880 I retweeted

00:29:32.960 it yesterday.

00:29:35.400 It is

00:29:36.400 talking about

00:29:37.920 what's happening

00:29:38.640 in Brazil

00:29:40.140 but he

00:29:41.060 then explains

00:29:42.460 all of it

00:29:43.260 in a very

00:29:44.900 honest sort

00:29:46.080 of way

00:29:46.540 and then

00:29:47.900 says by

00:29:49.000 the way

00:29:49.560 this is

00:29:50.500 happening in

00:29:51.200 all of the

00:29:51.860 western

00:29:52.220 countries.

00:29:53.600 What are they

00:29:54.440 doing?

00:29:54.820 To save

00:29:55.620 democracy

00:29:56.260 we're not a

00:29:57.700 democracy

00:29:58.020 to save

00:29:59.340 democracy

00:29:59.960 we have to

00:30:01.180 violate

00:30:01.720 democracy

00:30:02.980 to save

00:30:04.300 freedom

00:30:04.860 we have to

00:30:05.880 violate

00:30:06.360 freedom

00:30:07.040 no

00:30:08.420 this is

00:30:10.320 you know

00:30:10.680 last night

00:30:11.640 I about

00:30:12.020 blew a

00:30:12.460 gasket

00:30:12.900 I was

00:30:14.460 I was

00:30:15.840 going to bed

00:30:16.240 and just

00:30:16.500 reading the

00:30:16.960 news

00:30:17.260 and I

00:30:18.580 saw what

00:30:18.960 Mike Johnson

00:30:19.620 said

00:30:20.140 his new

00:30:21.160 stance

00:30:21.840 on the

00:30:23.680 Patriot Act

00:30:24.600 and FISA

00:30:25.800 listen to

00:30:26.960 this

00:30:27.300 cut three

00:30:28.120 when I was

00:30:29.500 a member

00:30:29.760 in this

00:30:30.160 area

00:30:30.380 I saw

00:30:30.840 the abuses

00:30:31.500 of the

00:30:31.840 FBI

00:30:32.180 the terrible

00:30:32.880 abuses

00:30:33.260 over and

00:30:33.740 over and

00:30:33.980 over the

00:30:34.260 hundreds of

00:30:34.640 thousands

00:30:34.880 of abuses

00:30:35.380 and then

00:30:36.280 when I became

00:30:36.700 speaker I went

00:30:37.300 to the

00:30:37.580 SCIF and got

00:30:38.160 the confidential

00:30:38.680 briefing from

00:30:39.460 sort of the

00:30:39.900 other perspective

00:30:40.500 on that to

00:30:41.200 understand the

00:30:42.060 necessity of

00:30:42.780 section 702

00:30:43.620 of FISA and

00:30:44.240 how important

00:30:44.900 it is for

00:30:45.260 national security

00:30:45.980 and it gave me

00:30:46.800 a different

00:30:47.060 perspective so I

00:30:47.820 encouraged all

00:30:48.440 the members to

00:30:49.500 go to the

00:30:50.020 classified briefing

00:30:50.800 and hear all

00:30:51.700 that and see it

00:30:52.320 so they can

00:30:52.740 evaluate the

00:30:53.460 situation for

00:30:53.920 themselves and

00:30:54.580 I think some

00:30:55.840 opinions have

00:30:56.340 changed both ways

00:30:57.080 but that's part

00:30:57.680 of the process

00:30:58.140 you gotta be

00:30:58.560 fully informed

00:31:00.020 not you the

00:31:01.940 American public

00:31:02.680 but they have

00:31:03.780 to be fully

00:31:04.580 informed on

00:31:05.440 everything

00:31:06.140 what he's saying

00:31:07.740 is yeah I

00:31:08.560 know I know

00:31:09.140 the abuses

00:31:09.640 of the FBI

00:31:10.400 I know the

00:31:11.140 violations of

00:31:12.520 the fourth

00:31:13.700 amendment

00:31:14.080 I understand

00:31:15.440 that we've

00:31:16.060 trashed the

00:31:17.100 fourth amendment

00:31:17.740 and we're about

00:31:18.980 to trash the

00:31:20.300 second amendment

00:31:21.080 and we're

00:31:21.920 trashing the

00:31:22.680 first amendment

00:31:23.400 I know that

00:31:25.100 but we have

00:31:25.880 to do what

00:31:26.540 we know

00:31:27.060 no you

00:31:28.080 don't

00:31:29.000 no you

00:31:29.980 don't

00:31:30.560 that is the

00:31:31.620 whole point

00:31:33.020 the whole point

00:31:34.720 of the bill of

00:31:35.400 rights is you

00:31:36.180 don't do it

00:31:37.620 ever no matter

00:31:38.820 what happens

00:31:39.720 you never

00:31:40.700 ever do it

00:31:41.800 or you become

00:31:43.120 an oppressor

00:31:44.500 a dictatorial

00:31:45.760 a dictatorial

00:31:47.920 country

00:31:48.520 you you

00:31:50.220 you become

00:31:51.340 the authoritarian

00:31:53.060 you become

00:31:57.200 everything

00:31:57.980 that we

00:31:58.780 despise

00:31:59.560 and quite

00:32:01.380 honestly

00:32:01.800 you know

00:32:02.500 I was

00:32:02.820 I was not

00:32:05.800 in a good mood

00:32:06.300 I'm still

00:32:06.780 in a good mood

00:32:07.380 but I was not

00:32:07.880 in a good mood

00:32:08.420 last night

00:32:08.860 when I got

00:32:09.200 home

00:32:09.440 and

00:32:10.600 I don't

00:32:12.300 know

00:32:12.400 I haven't

00:32:12.680 even seen

00:32:13.160 it yet

00:32:13.500 today

00:32:13.780 maybe

00:32:14.060 maybe I

00:32:14.620 said too

00:32:15.040 much

00:32:15.340 maybe I

00:32:15.700 didn't

00:32:15.860 say enough

00:32:16.260 I don't

00:32:16.520 know

00:32:16.760 but

00:32:18.160 I

00:32:20.880 this is

00:32:22.100 what I

00:32:22.320 wrote last

00:32:22.860 night

00:32:23.220 on X

00:32:24.640 respectfully

00:32:25.700 Mr.

00:32:26.300 Speaker

00:32:26.700 that is

00:32:28.600 exactly

00:32:29.060 what men

00:32:29.780 who are

00:32:30.180 afraid

00:32:30.640 to be

00:32:31.040 held

00:32:31.320 responsible

00:32:32.020 for

00:32:32.440 attacks

00:32:33.040 say

00:32:33.620 I

00:32:34.780 well I

00:32:35.680 saw this

00:32:36.340 and so

00:32:36.620 I

00:32:36.960 I

00:32:37.380 think

00:32:37.760 we should

00:32:38.080 violate

00:32:38.540 America's

00:32:39.480 rights

00:32:40.480 the Americans

00:32:41.140 said we

00:32:41.540 should

00:32:41.740 violate

00:32:42.120 that

00:32:42.340 because

00:32:42.580 you never

00:32:42.900 know

00:32:43.180 you never

00:32:43.540 know

00:32:43.920 scary

00:32:44.580 things

00:32:44.960 could

00:32:45.140 happen

00:32:45.520 yeah scary

00:32:46.980 things are

00:32:47.660 going to

00:32:48.120 happen

00:32:48.500 America

00:32:50.160 as I

00:32:50.680 wrote last

00:32:51.100 night

00:32:51.280 is going

00:32:52.060 to be

00:32:52.420 attacked

00:32:52.900 the

00:32:53.620 inaction

00:32:54.300 on our

00:32:54.800 border

00:32:55.080 makes that

00:32:55.660 a matter

00:32:56.040 of when

00:32:56.920 not if

00:32:58.020 and there

00:32:58.900 will be

00:32:59.460 those

00:32:59.840 responsible

00:33:00.520 primarily

00:33:01.240 the

00:33:01.820 terrorists

00:33:02.460 but also

00:33:03.640 those who

00:33:04.120 refuse to

00:33:04.800 stop the

00:33:05.540 insanity

00:33:06.120 on the

00:33:06.600 border

00:33:06.860 as well

00:33:07.580 as the

00:33:07.960 DHS

00:33:08.500 and FBI

00:33:09.360 who've

00:33:09.960 been looking

00:33:10.340 for the

00:33:10.700 real

00:33:11.020 MAGA

00:33:11.440 terrorists

00:33:12.120 just like

00:33:13.180 OJ

00:33:13.560 Simpson

00:33:13.920 was searching

00:33:14.500 for the

00:33:14.860 real

00:33:15.280 killer

00:33:15.640 on all

00:33:16.080 America's

00:33:16.620 golf

00:33:16.860 courses

00:33:17.320 then

00:33:19.060 frankly

00:33:20.440 the other

00:33:21.660 ones left

00:33:22.360 that are

00:33:23.220 responsible

00:33:23.680 is us

00:33:24.520 for voting

00:33:25.820 in

00:33:26.180 non-constitutional

00:33:27.900 liars

00:33:28.560 cheats

00:33:29.220 thieves

00:33:29.840 whores 1.00

00:33:30.680 and cowards

00:33:31.940 now I'm not

00:33:34.260 accusing the

00:33:34.980 speaker of

00:33:36.020 being any of

00:33:36.620 those things

00:33:37.200 only God

00:33:38.340 can and

00:33:39.120 will

00:33:39.500 condemn

00:33:40.220 but I

00:33:42.380 asked the

00:33:42.840 speaker to

00:33:43.360 consider

00:33:43.720 this

00:33:44.160 there are

00:33:45.220 many kinds

00:33:45.900 of threats

00:33:46.360 to our

00:33:46.740 republic

00:33:47.220 we have

00:33:49.220 over and

00:33:49.700 over again

00:33:50.300 dealt with

00:33:50.940 real

00:33:51.600 outside

00:33:52.340 threats

00:33:53.200 we always

00:33:54.500 have and

00:33:55.100 we always

00:33:55.660 come together

00:33:56.320 and we

00:33:56.760 win

00:33:57.440 but those

00:33:59.920 threats from

00:34:00.700 within

00:34:01.200 even those

00:34:02.780 who are

00:34:03.120 well

00:34:03.460 intentioned

00:34:04.700 but those

00:34:06.320 threats

00:34:06.700 within that

00:34:07.420 in the name

00:34:08.000 of security

00:34:08.620 will violate

00:34:09.360 every

00:34:09.980 principle

00:34:10.660 and amendment

00:34:11.440 for either

00:34:12.340 their gain

00:34:13.240 or for

00:34:14.560 heartfelt

00:34:15.960 reasons

00:34:16.940 that gee

00:34:17.620 we just

00:34:18.020 have to

00:34:18.280 do

00:34:18.500 something

00:34:19.280 or just

00:34:21.000 because they

00:34:21.620 don't want

00:34:22.060 to be

00:34:22.380 blamed

00:34:22.900 for something

00:34:23.800 you people

00:34:26.440 in Washington

00:34:27.000 need to

00:34:27.460 remember

00:34:27.800 you work

00:34:28.720 for the

00:34:29.140 people

00:34:29.600 not the

00:34:30.500 intel

00:34:31.280 community

00:34:32.000 whom you

00:34:32.720 are currently

00:34:33.420 burning

00:34:34.460 who are

00:34:34.900 currently now

00:34:35.560 burning

00:34:35.960 all of the

00:34:36.940 rights of

00:34:37.440 all Americans

00:34:38.340 your job

00:34:40.060 that we

00:34:40.420 sent you

00:34:40.880 to do

00:34:41.360 was to

00:34:42.080 protect

00:34:42.680 and defend

00:34:43.580 the

00:34:43.860 constitution

00:34:44.500 of the

00:34:45.040 United

00:34:45.320 States

00:34:45.740 of America

00:34:46.380 if we

00:34:48.400 don't have

00:34:49.180 the rights

00:34:50.240 of the

00:34:50.880 constitution

00:34:51.660 if we

00:34:52.360 don't have

00:34:52.980 the guaranteed

00:34:54.060 protected

00:34:55.140 rights

00:34:55.820 then we

00:34:57.140 don't really

00:34:57.600 have a

00:34:58.140 country

00:34:58.500 we're just

00:35:00.240 another place

00:35:01.140 like every

00:35:01.560 other place

00:35:02.200 and I

00:35:04.540 know that

00:35:05.100 voices will

00:35:05.740 be silenced

00:35:06.460 because it

00:35:06.980 will be an

00:35:07.440 emergency

00:35:08.000 and they

00:35:09.620 will have

00:35:10.000 to silence

00:35:10.560 these voices

00:35:11.440 but what

00:35:15.700 a surprise

00:35:16.580 that the

00:35:18.140 FBI CIA

00:35:19.220 intel

00:35:19.840 community

00:35:20.420 is coming

00:35:21.540 out right

00:35:22.000 now and

00:35:22.280 saying there's

00:35:22.660 going to be

00:35:22.920 a terrorist

00:35:23.300 attack

00:35:23.680 of course

00:35:24.360 there's going

00:35:24.800 to be a

00:35:25.160 terrorist

00:35:25.440 attack

00:35:25.960 you let

00:35:26.640 all these

00:35:26.980 people in

00:35:27.720 of course

00:35:29.560 there's going

00:35:30.140 to be one

00:35:30.820 but they're

00:35:32.580 ramping

00:35:33.080 everything up

00:35:33.720 right now

00:35:34.360 as they're

00:35:35.200 beating the

00:35:36.060 drums to

00:35:36.700 war

00:35:37.100 oh

00:35:38.280 Iran

00:35:38.880 Iran

00:35:39.200 Iran

00:35:39.460 let's

00:35:39.840 give them

00:35:40.140 money

00:35:40.420 now let's

00:35:41.220 piss them

00:35:41.580 off

00:35:41.840 now let's

00:35:42.380 give them

00:35:42.640 money

00:35:42.860 now let's

00:35:43.380 piss them

00:35:43.740 off

00:35:44.080 of course

00:35:45.000 there's going

00:35:45.420 to be

00:35:45.600 attack

00:35:46.140 but now

00:35:50.800 we've got

00:35:51.640 to have

00:35:52.020 FISA

00:35:52.380 we have

00:35:52.980 got to

00:35:53.440 be able

00:35:53.880 to destroy

00:35:54.880 the first

00:35:55.440 the fourth

00:35:56.120 amendment

00:35:56.520 we have

00:35:57.500 to destroy

00:35:58.180 the fourth

00:35:59.020 amendment

00:35:59.380 and spy

00:36:00.000 on everybody

00:36:00.600 without any

00:36:01.300 warrants

00:36:01.860 well because

00:36:04.120 we're trying

00:36:04.720 to keep

00:36:05.060 you safe

00:36:05.520 you're not

00:36:06.260 keeping me

00:36:07.060 safe

00:36:07.480 I am just

00:36:09.400 as concerned

00:36:10.200 about

00:36:10.820 Putin

00:36:11.760 as I am

00:36:12.700 about you

00:36:13.560 in the

00:36:14.020 federal

00:36:14.280 government

00:36:14.740 I don't

00:36:16.180 know

00:36:16.580 who's the

00:36:17.200 bigger threat

00:36:17.820 right now

00:36:18.340 to my

00:36:18.840 personal

00:36:19.520 freedoms

00:36:20.200 I think

00:36:24.420 it's you

00:36:24.820 in Washington

00:36:25.440 back in a

00:36:27.000 minute

00:36:27.180 it's been

00:36:49.680 six months

00:36:50.280 since the

00:36:50.660 brutal attack

00:36:51.200 by Hamas

00:36:51.820 on our

00:36:52.100 brothers and

00:39:17.420 answer

00:39:19.060 no

00:39:20.220 one

00:39:20.660 as the

00:39:22.220 world

00:39:22.440 would

00:39:22.600 eventually

00:39:22.980 learn

00:39:23.320 the

00:39:23.500 FBI

00:39:23.840 built

00:39:24.240 a

00:39:49.240 know

00:39:49.560 definitively

00:39:50.720 as many

00:39:51.300 suspected

00:39:51.900 at the

00:39:52.300 time

00:39:52.620 that there

00:39:52.940 were no

00:39:53.240 credible

00:39:53.660 ties

00:39:54.200 between

00:39:54.780 the

00:39:54.980 Trump

00:39:55.180 campaign

00:39:55.740 and

00:39:56.040 the

00:39:56.200 Kremlin

00:39:56.500 this

00:39:57.240 week

00:39:57.440 Congress

00:39:57.880 has had

00:39:58.280 the chance

00:39:58.680 to pass

00:39:59.100 the single

00:39:59.520 largest

00:39:59.900 overhaul

00:40:00.760 to the

00:40:01.400 FBI

00:40:01.700 nearly

00:40:02.080 20

00:40:02.400 years

00:40:02.740 what

00:40:03.040 he's

00:40:03.360 saying

00:40:03.720 is

00:40:04.060 and

00:40:04.200 he

00:40:04.300 makes

00:40:04.540 a

00:40:04.680 good

00:40:04.820 point

00:40:05.260 well

00:40:06.260 this

00:40:06.740 time

00:40:07.180 it

00:40:07.640 will

00:40:07.800 be

00:40:08.020 different

00:40:08.640 because

00:40:09.840 this

00:40:10.400 critical

00:40:11.260 national

00:40:12.080 security

00:40:12.520 tool

00:40:12.900 has

00:40:13.880 United

00:40:14.080 States

00:40:14.400 to

00:40:14.620 counter

00:40:14.900 our

00:40:15.180 adversaries

00:40:15.680 like

00:40:15.920 China

00:40:16.240 and

00:40:16.440 Russia

00:40:16.700 and

00:40:16.940 thwarted

00:40:17.380 numerous

00:40:17.860 attacks

00:40:18.380 from

00:40:18.940 ISIS

00:40:19.320 and

00:40:19.660 Al-Qaeda

00:40:20.140 I mean

00:40:20.880 after all

00:40:21.420 we have

00:43:04.680 thank

00:43:06.420 to

00:43:06.900 If I go to survive, stay up straight and hold the line.

00:43:17.640 It's a new day, a time to ride.

00:43:26.620 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:33.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:39.880 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It is Friday.

00:43:43.720 There is something that is so important for all of us to be informed on,

00:43:51.000 to fix reason firmly in her seat and to figure out which is the bigger threat.

00:43:58.940 With FISA and the secret courts and the violation of the Fourth Amendment.

00:44:05.800 Or massive terrorist attacks, which are coming.

00:44:10.460 For a myriad of reasons, they are coming.

00:44:13.680 So where do you stand on the Constitution versus terrorist attacks?

00:44:19.900 Can we even balance those two?

00:44:21.960 Mike Pompeo and Mike Lee are joining me this hour.

00:44:26.760 First, Mike Pompeo is going to make the case that we have to renew a reformed version of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

00:44:34.980 This is something that has been violating, you know, Fourth Amendment rights nonstop.

00:44:41.460 Nonstop.

00:44:42.020 And has caused many of the problems that we have in America today.

00:44:46.860 But Mike Pompeo, who is former U.S. Secretary of State and former CIA director, says,

00:44:54.120 You don't understand.

00:44:55.560 I want to hear his side of the argument.

00:44:59.660 And I, you know, I wish I could know what he knows.

00:45:03.340 But that's not possible.

00:45:05.800 But he does say there are severe and significant reforms in the bill that's coming up in front of Congress.

00:45:13.760 Probably today.

00:45:14.900 So Mike Pompeo joins us in 60 seconds.

00:45:18.640 Okay.

00:45:19.240 There's few words that you can use to describe this situation.

00:45:23.360 Trapped.

00:45:24.400 Terrified.

00:45:25.380 Backs against the wall.

00:45:26.960 Alone.

00:45:28.060 These are the words that describe most moms who are going in and thinking about an abortion. 1.00

00:45:35.380 They feel trapped.

00:45:36.100 Terrified.

00:45:36.640 Back against the wall.

00:45:37.380 Completely alone.

00:45:38.200 And that's how Matt and Ariel felt when they found out that she was unexpectedly pregnant.

00:45:43.220 In a society like ours, both the easy path and the right path are available.

00:45:49.600 Still unsure of what they were going to do, Matt and Ariel, thank God, came across a pre-born clinic.

00:45:54.800 And they chose the right path for their now newborn daughter.

00:45:57.720 Everything that enters your mind when you hear the word planned parenthood, pre-born is the opposite of that.

00:46:04.280 They offer free ultrasounds.

00:46:06.580 And in cases like this, life-saving care.

00:46:09.340 They also offer assistance to the mom who feels trapped, terrified, back against the wall, alone.

00:46:16.000 They offer care for up to two years after the baby is born.

00:46:20.920 You're not just saving babies.

00:46:22.380 You're saving women as well.

00:46:24.480 You're saving women from a lifetime of regret.

00:46:29.620 They've saved already 58,000 babies last year because of people like you just making a $28 donation.

00:46:37.180 You can donate anything, $5 or $5,000.

00:46:41.140 $5,000 will sponsor the entire network in the country for 24 hours.

00:46:46.600 You could help rescue 200 babies in 24 hours.

00:46:49.820 Donate securely.

00:46:50.700 Dial pound 250.

00:46:51.900 Say the keyword baby.

00:46:53.200 Pound 250.

00:46:54.140 Keyword baby.

00:46:54.960 Preborn.com slash Beck.

00:46:57.160 Preborn.com slash Beck.

00:47:01.500 Mr. Mike Pompeo, welcome back to the program, sir.

00:47:04.600 How are you?

00:47:06.100 Glenn, it's great to be back with you.

00:47:07.740 It's always a blessing to have some time to chat with you and the folks that listen to your show.

00:47:11.400 Thank you very much.

00:47:12.240 Now, Mike, I want you to know I'm a little skeptical of the FBI, Justice Department, and everything that's going on.

00:47:20.940 But I really want to understand not only the threat that we're facing, but more importantly,

00:47:28.460 what is going to stop this out-of-control government from spying on regular Americans?

00:47:37.100 Well, Glenn, two thoughts.

00:47:38.320 First, I know you're going to have Senator Leon.

00:47:40.380 He and I just have a different judgment about this.

00:47:42.500 I have enormous respect for him.

00:47:43.880 I consider my friend.

00:47:44.740 I've campaigned with him and continue to do so.

00:47:47.800 But separate from that, let's just kind of walk through where I think we are.

00:47:51.080 First, you should have more than a little skepticism about the FBI and the power of government more broadly.

00:47:56.860 That's why I ran for Congress the first time.

00:47:58.580 The awesome power of government was being misused, mostly against conservatives, people like you and me and the folks who are most of the folks who are listening to this.

00:48:06.200 I also had first-hand experience trying to do the job to keep Islamist radicals from killing Americans.

00:48:16.260 And so I was always trying to be respectful of that duty and deeply honoring of the Constitution to get there.

00:48:23.420 And I think today what the House of Representatives is considering accomplishes that as best one can.

00:48:29.760 Look, there's always going to be Jim Comey's of the world and Jim McCabe's until you get the right leadership.

00:48:33.540 Those are the kind of people who may be in charge, and we ought to punish them when they violate the law.

00:48:38.300 But we ought to do so with a set of rules that make sure that we don't have kids in Phoenix or Milwaukee or Wichita, Kansas, my hometown, at risk from terror.

00:48:47.860 And I think the reforms that they're voting on today move us in the right direction there, and hopefully they put in harsher criminal penalties.

00:48:56.020 I hope they'll be enforced.

00:48:57.220 They reduce the number of people who can have access to any Americans' information.

00:49:01.200 I hope those rules will be enforced, and then I pray that we will continue to do the hard work to keep terrorism at bay as well.

00:49:08.320 So with a lot of respect to you, and I hope you take this in the spirit in which it's intended and not to compare anybody or anything to these times.

00:49:19.740 But we are looking at terrorism, and I believe it is coming, and I believe, God forbid, it's something more like Beslan than anything else we've seen. 0.99

00:49:31.560 And, you know, when you're talking about saving the republic and saving people, it is a very thin line.

00:49:38.640 The night of long knives, Hitler knew he had violated the Constitution. 0.79

00:49:44.860 He had another reason for doing it, but he came out and said, look, the republic was at stake, and if I had to do it all over again and violate the Constitution, I'd do it again.

00:49:55.340 And you may decide that I shouldn't be in office.

00:49:57.920 I mean, he took a very, very, you know, wonderful stance on, you know, being the savior of the republic.

00:50:06.660 Well, what happened is they just agreed with him and congratulated him and actually gave him, you know, a higher position.

00:50:15.040 You can't violate the Constitution to save the republic.

00:50:20.580 If you violate the Constitution, you are harming the public.

00:50:24.900 The reason why I say this with a line of long knives is who went to jail?

00:50:32.100 The people who were lying to the FISA courts, they were promoted.

00:50:37.720 They weren't fired.

00:50:39.460 They weren't jailed.

00:50:40.720 So we can have all of these laws you want and all of these things in the new bill.

00:50:46.940 But if you don't have people who are going to enforce it, it doesn't matter.

00:50:52.740 It doesn't matter.

00:50:54.040 Does it?

00:50:55.860 Glenn, I completely agree with you.

00:50:57.980 And in some ways, that makes my point.

00:51:00.020 Imagine that we don't renew FISA for a moment.

00:51:03.040 You think you're going to stop bad actors, right?

00:51:05.540 So imagine you don't enhance the criminal penalties and you give free access.

00:51:09.600 By the way, if there's no FISA reform, we won't reduce the number of people with access.

00:51:13.180 They'll just go do that. 0.59

00:51:14.380 And so my view has always been, you know, put transparency in wherever you can.

00:51:19.820 Put checks and balances, just like the framers, just like the Constitution talked about.

00:51:23.560 So this bill would give Congress oversight.

00:51:26.960 It makes a little bit in the weeds.

00:51:29.400 But it gives Congress transparency in a way it doesn't have.

00:51:32.900 Look, none of this will be perfect, Glenn.

00:51:34.820 Without the right people in power, you're exactly right.

00:51:37.880 They get MSNBC contracts instead of prison time, folks like McCabe and Comey.

00:51:42.260 I came at this as a libertarian when I first entered public service.

00:51:47.180 I know the awesome power and fear U.S. government overreach.

00:51:51.260 I think this set of reforms puts a set of provisions in place that are, in fact, constitutional.

00:51:57.140 And then the question is, will the people enforce those rules in a way that protects our privacy and preserves our Constitution?

00:52:03.000 That's the question we faced in November, Glenn, whether this provision passes today or not.

00:52:07.480 So tell me why the push for this without saying that the American people, if you go into the American people, you have to have a warrant.

00:52:17.340 And, you know, and people are like, well, it's not going to be a problem.

00:52:20.240 Then why did Congress have a carve out in this bill to protect them from warrantless searches, but not me?

00:52:28.620 First of all, first of all, sign me up for no carve outs for any member of Congress for anything, having served for, what, six years.

00:52:37.820 You see this a lot of places.

00:52:39.620 I don't know.

00:52:40.100 I don't know the history.

00:52:40.860 I got in there.

00:52:41.640 Take it out.

00:52:43.160 Every American should be treated precisely the same with respect to government power, especially with respect to government power.

00:52:48.420 So I think that's an enormous mistake.

00:52:51.600 The warrant requirement itself doesn't fit the purpose of what is really at the heart of 702.

00:52:59.880 Remember what this does.

00:53:01.140 It is a provision that allows the U.S. government to go chase bad guys on foreign soil.

00:53:06.780 That's 99.9% of its activity.

00:53:09.880 It's true, Glenn.

00:53:10.560 If I pick up the phone and call a terrorist today, it's going to capture my data as well.

00:53:14.660 And the idea is, how do you anonymize?

00:53:18.320 How do you minimize?

00:53:19.300 How do you throw that data out so you protect that?

00:53:22.720 And these provisions try to do that, Glenn.

00:53:24.440 It's never perfect.

00:53:25.880 I could go through a list of questions that's not perfect.

00:53:28.580 It's law today.

00:53:29.820 But if you ask, is this materially better than where we sit today?

00:53:33.880 And does it still preserve the capacity to protect families?

00:53:37.680 I think I'm balanced.

00:53:38.820 This is a win.

00:53:39.620 It preserves our constitutional rights so long as we have the right people there.

00:53:43.080 And, Glenn, you know, we have to be honest.

00:53:45.300 If you have the wrong people there, there's no law.

00:53:48.460 Whether you pass it, there's no law that's going to protect those rights.

00:53:51.180 And so that's the conundrum that we face as a republic.

00:53:54.620 And I watched what happened from the IRS while I was in Congress where they came after conservatives.

00:54:00.080 I watched what's happened to DHS where they're not preserving our border, our basic constitutional freedom and sovereignty.

00:54:06.320 I think we ought to pass this legislation, and then we ought to get the right people there, and we ought to punish like hell anyone who violates not only these provisions, but any part of the United States statutory law or its constitution.

00:54:20.300 So tell me, what's the teeth in this?

00:54:27.620 There are six additions to the teeth, if you will.

00:54:31.640 The first one I described briefly, which is we have these FISA courts.

00:54:35.320 They're secret courts.

00:54:36.600 This will transcribe those proceedings and give Congress the ability to read the transcripts of those proceedings.

00:54:41.700 Second, there are far too many people with their hands with access to not only the foreign data, but any ancillary American data that gets picked up.

00:54:50.120 This takes out about 90% of the human beings and puts additional executive branch oversight into that as well.

00:54:56.520 And then it ups the criminal penalties, a handful of criminal penalties.

00:54:59.720 That is, go to jail, no BS penalties.

00:55:02.540 You've got to have an attorney general that's going to enforce it.

00:55:04.440 That's true for everything, Glenn.

00:55:05.760 Again, I hope we'll get the right attorney general who will not only go after someone who does it tomorrow, but will chase those folks who did this in the past to President Trump and to others in the administration.

00:55:17.920 Mike, can you give me a reason why the bill to get the carve-outs out and to require any American that is caught up in this,

00:55:32.220 that they have to go back to the court and get a warrant for those people?

00:55:37.640 Can you tell me why so many Republicans and Democrats didn't want that in the bill at all?

00:55:45.220 It doesn't make sense.

00:55:47.880 The carve-out provision, I can't, I have no articulable reason to set me up for not being able to understand that.

00:55:54.700 Second, when it comes to the warrant provision, I have to be a little careful here.

00:56:00.520 When it comes to the warrant provision, I hope the American people will appreciate that the law, whether it's enforced or not, is a separate question.

00:56:07.720 But the law itself provides adequate protection for Americans who come up against this.

00:56:13.220 And I wish I could say more, but I'll stop there.

00:56:15.320 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:56:16.820 It didn't with Donald Trump.

00:56:18.440 No, well, the law, had it been enforced, actually would have provided that, Glenn.

00:56:25.280 Had the attorney general enforced the provisions, again, you can't stop bad actors, but it would have punished those very bad actors.

00:56:33.520 And all the things that happened in Crossfire Hurricane, which I think is what you're largely referring to here,

00:56:39.480 all the things that happened in Crossfire Hurricane were unlawful.

00:56:43.080 They violated both civil and criminal penalties.

00:56:45.180 And the challenge was you had bad actors and an attorney general who refused to enforce that against a Republican conservative president.

00:56:52.720 When you say that there are, you know, significant penalties, like what kind of jail time would people be looking at if they violated the Fourth Amendment right of a citizen of America?

00:57:05.400 Do you know?

00:57:08.020 Intentional violations?

00:57:09.440 Yeah, I do.

00:57:10.080 I do, Glenn.

00:57:11.080 I don't know the exact number, but it is a decade plus for intentional violation and years for anybody who violated, but intent becomes difficult to prove.

00:57:20.940 So real jail time for real bad actors.

00:57:23.440 And then second, Glenn, the other thing it does is it holds responsible their bosses, the leadership inside these organizations as well.

00:57:31.280 If there are failures that they should have reasonably known were taking place and they didn't put in internal policies to prevent that, it holds those people responsible, too.

00:57:41.800 So not just the bad actor who goes in to look for their girlfriend's cell phone contact information, but it holds responsible the supervisors, the bosses, the senior leaders at the FBI and at the Justice Department who are responsible for not holding accountable the people that work for them as well.

00:57:58.560 Mike, you're in a tough position.

00:58:01.140 I mean, we all are.

00:58:02.120 We all are.

00:58:02.840 Because you're right.

00:58:03.700 If you pass any law.

00:58:05.200 America's in a tough place, Glenn.

00:58:06.420 I agree.

00:58:06.740 How real is the threat from the inside of, you know, from Iran and everything else? 1.00

00:58:18.540 How real is the threat today?

00:58:21.760 Very real.

00:58:22.860 I don't I try not to be hyperbolic, not around every corner.

00:58:27.800 But do you now have multiple countries, Iran, Russia, the Chinese Communist Party, certainly all the terror groups, Al Qaeda and the like.

00:58:36.740 All who have free and ready access inside of our borders today, because President Biden has encouraged unlawful immigration.

00:58:43.600 We now have hundreds of thousands of potential terrorists inside the gates.

00:58:48.080 And we know we have a couple of hundred that we've identified on the terror watch list already.

00:58:52.300 This risk is serious.

00:58:54.100 And we ought to be serious in making sure we respond to it.

00:58:56.700 Are we do you have confidence that if something happens, we're not going to be, you know, going after MAGA people because they're also terrorists and, you know, and people who spoke out at the school board?

00:59:10.660 I don't have confidence with Attorney General Garland there.

00:59:16.760 I've watched them talk about extremists in the Catholic Church, watched them talk about extremists inside of our military in ways that are fundamentally disconnected from reality.

00:59:26.260 I worry about the leadership, right?

00:59:28.100 Decision making leadership.

00:59:29.340 There's there's no doubt about that.

00:59:30.940 I don't know what law one passes, Glenn, to stop that.

00:59:33.340 I wish I thought there was a piece of legislation or some brilliant idea.

00:59:39.220 But our founders knew how to get at this.

00:59:41.120 Our founders knew that if with enough transparency and enough checks and balances and then a educated republic that was prepared to go out and do their duty and vote for good leaders, you increase the likelihood that our republic would survive another 250 years.

00:59:55.260 I am deeply worried about it, Glenn.

00:59:57.460 Mike, thank you so much.

00:59:59.140 Thanks for a civil conversation on this.

01:00:01.200 I appreciate it.

01:00:02.320 God bless.

01:00:02.740 You bet it, Glenn.

01:00:04.200 Have a great weekend, sir.

01:00:05.180 You bet.

01:00:05.760 Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State, former CIA director.

01:00:09.180 Back in just a minute.

01:00:09.980 Mike Lee is going to take the other side here in a second.

01:00:13.300 I don't think it's going to happen to me.

01:00:14.780 That's what everybody says every day.

01:00:16.500 It's not going to happen to me.

01:00:17.300 It's not going to happen.

01:00:18.180 It's not going to happen.

01:00:18.860 Just not going to happen.

01:00:20.100 Well, when it comes to breaking in to your house, almost 5,000 people every day are wrong.

01:00:27.460 Home invasions.

01:00:28.660 Still pretty common.

01:01:27.580 10 seconds.

01:01:28.120 Station ID.

01:01:41.420 So I don't, I mean, he's right.

01:01:46.780 Things are coming.

01:01:48.640 Things are coming.

01:01:49.640 But I'm, I am just, I'm at the point where I just cannot give this government more power.

01:01:58.660 I just can't.

01:02:01.180 I can't continue to give them the power.

01:02:03.900 For instance, if, if I'm, if, if I were president of the United States and, and we had control of the Congress and I can make a good enough case, my gut would be, you shut the damn thing down.

01:02:17.180 All of it.

01:02:17.700 You're all fired.

01:02:19.540 We're going to start rehiring tomorrow.

01:02:21.780 You're all fired.

01:02:23.800 I would shut all of this stuff down because it's corrupt to the core.

01:02:30.540 Have you thought about turning it on and off and just restoring it to factory settings?

01:02:37.000 How about that?

01:02:38.100 That's what needs to be done.

01:02:40.580 But everybody's got a reason why we can't do it.

01:02:43.200 And those reasons are real.

01:02:44.680 We've got to have this tool.

01:02:47.640 Well, you've abused that tool and you've never been punished.

01:02:51.680 You know who we are?

01:02:52.500 The American people.

01:02:53.420 We're the worst parents ever.

01:02:55.500 Our kids, we keep telling them, don't do it.

01:02:58.280 And then we vote for them again.

01:03:00.000 When they do it.

01:03:01.240 They don't believe us.

01:03:02.820 They don't believe us.

01:03:04.120 They don't believe that there's any consequence for their actions, not because of Garland, but because of us.

01:03:13.760 Look at the hell our country is going through right now.

01:03:17.900 Look at the price of your groceries, the price of gas.

01:03:21.460 Look how unsafe your community is if you live in any big city.

01:03:25.540 Look at our borders.

01:03:27.360 Look at your jobs.

01:03:28.640 And half the country is like, yeah, I'm okay with that.

01:03:33.700 I'm okay with that.

01:03:34.680 Sure.

01:03:35.560 No, no, no.

01:03:36.740 It's better than the other.

01:03:38.140 Better than the other.

01:03:39.980 Excuse me?

01:03:41.480 Better than the other?

01:03:44.060 How exactly?

01:03:46.920 How exactly?

01:03:48.440 These people have told you they are going to reset everything and get away from capitalism.

01:03:56.900 They've told you this.

01:04:00.920 And somehow or another, we're going to reward them with another four years.

01:04:06.300 They're violating your basic rights.

01:04:09.060 Oh, that's all right.

01:04:12.720 Now imagine pizza without any toppings.

01:04:17.440 Imagine a big helping of mashed potatoes, but no gravy.

01:04:20.760 Imagine ice cream, a cone without a second scoop.

01:04:24.820 Gosh, this is depressing.

01:04:27.580 Now imagine your dog's food without any nutrition, because unfortunately, if you're feeding him or her kibble food, that's pretty much what they're getting every time you fill the bowl.

01:04:36.060 Kibble food has to have a long shelf life, so it has to have everything alive, cooked out of it.

01:04:43.860 That stuff is really important for your dog's nutrition.

01:04:47.420 It needs the nutritional value of what they just cooked out.

01:04:51.420 You can put it back by sprinkling a little bit of rough greens on your dog's food.

01:04:58.560 They will love it.

01:05:00.480 Remember, brown food is dead food.

01:05:02.000 You want the green stuff.

01:05:02.980 And the folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog's going to love it.

01:05:06.660 They have a special deal.

01:05:56.020 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:06:02.880 Mike Lee joins us now from the other side.

01:06:06.360 Mike Pompeo was just on.

01:06:07.720 We had a great conversation.

01:06:09.380 I disagree with him on what needs to be done, but I think his heart is in the right place.

01:06:15.320 Mike Lee is joining us now.

01:06:17.600 He just tweeted last night, the firm, as he likes to call it, the collection of those who are running the show in Washington, D.C.,

01:06:26.000 will say that if FISA-702 expires on April 19th, all 702 collection, including that directed at dangerous foreign adversaries, will immediately cease.

01:06:35.340 Mike says that's not true.

01:06:36.720 Mike?

01:06:38.540 It's not true.

01:06:39.580 In fact, they put in place language that would keep FISA-702 collection going for 365 days after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court,

01:06:52.980 just recently in the last week or so, recertified the 702 collection program.

01:06:58.760 There's statutory language put in place first at the end of 2018 and then in December, against my objection,

01:07:06.300 making that clear that once they issue this certification, even if FISA-702 lapses, even if it expires,

01:07:14.160 it can still continue for the duration of the one-year certification that's now just in the last week or so been issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

01:07:25.800 So, look, on so many levels, the fear-mongering, the scare tactics of the intelligence community and those allied with them in Congress

01:07:35.940 have proven to be just not accurate, and this is yet another one.

01:07:40.680 My point is, why don't we take the time that we need to make sure that we adequately debate issues so important to the American people

01:07:48.380 and so important to our civil liberties, like the need to get a warrant?

01:07:54.040 The debate is over on that one, isn't it, Mike?

01:07:56.540 I mean, I thought we had that debate, you know, during the Constitutional Convention.

01:08:01.080 We had that debate.

01:08:02.500 Why are we debating that?

01:08:04.200 That's right.

01:08:05.960 People are constantly talking up here as if, well, we've got to carefully balance the competing interests here.

01:08:14.980 Well, sometimes that's the case, but sometimes we settled that one in 1791, and that was the compromise.

01:08:23.580 The Fourth Amendment was the compromise.

01:08:26.080 And you're undertaking what are tantamount to warrantless searches of the American people.

01:08:33.180 It's not too much to ask.

01:08:34.440 Just tell them to get a warrant.

01:08:37.200 Mike, last night, you know, Mike Johnson came out, and he says, well, I, you know, I, now that I'm Speaker,

01:08:44.940 I saw all of the information.

01:08:47.000 But he also said every congressman should go up to the SCIF and get the briefing that I just got,

01:08:52.940 so I don't know why he didn't get it before.

01:08:54.420 But he says, you know, we're facing some really bad things, and so we just have to pass this.

01:09:03.140 And I think it's true.

01:09:04.940 We are facing some really bad things.

01:09:07.120 We're on the eve of war in the Middle East.

01:09:09.240 We're on the eve of war.

01:09:10.060 Russia is interrogating NATO for finding that we were funding terrorism in Russia.

01:09:18.740 Our currency is in trouble.

01:09:20.700 Our spending is out of control.

01:09:23.180 Citizens are under attack, not just with regulation, but the FBI is calling them, you know, terrorists themselves.

01:09:30.780 FBI is out of control.

01:09:32.180 And there are terrorists that have come across the border.

01:09:36.940 So it is going to happen.

01:09:39.460 All of this stuff is bad.

01:09:40.760 At this point, it's like, why would you violate the Second Amendment when the cities are more dangerous than ever?

01:09:48.900 Why would you disarm the American people from protecting themselves?

01:09:52.460 If there is terror attack, why would you take away their right to have a warrant sworn out, sworn out,

01:10:00.160 so you just don't investigate political foes?

01:10:04.980 Yeah, look, first of all, we always have to remember that the government itself is subject to the Constitution.

01:10:12.840 The Constitution exists not just for the sunny days.

01:10:16.620 The Constitution also exists.

01:10:18.660 It exists especially for the rainy days, for the days when we're under attack.

01:10:24.240 That's when it makes a difference.

01:10:25.040 And so it's not at odds.

01:10:27.780 Our Fourth Amendment rights are not at odds with our security because our Fourth Amendment rights are part of our security.

01:10:36.380 We're not truly secure unless we are protected by government abuse.

01:10:42.640 It's really not too much to ask to suggest that they get a warrant.

01:10:47.940 And, you know, look, I like Secretary Pompeo.

01:10:52.160 He's a friend, and I've appreciated his support and his insights in the past.

01:10:56.420 I do very, very respectfully but also very forcefully disagree with some of the arguments that he made just moments ago.

01:11:03.880 Among other things, he acknowledged that 99% of this stuff, of this collection under Section 702, is against foreign operators outside the United States, foreign adversaries not on U.S. soil.

01:11:20.620 That is as it should be.

01:11:22.160 Look, look, FISA 702 has a reason to exist, and it's for that reason, to go after foreign adversaries on foreign soil, not Americans here on U.S. soil.

01:11:34.620 And so if 99% of it is that, why don't we bank the win and preserve the Constitution?

01:11:39.740 Why on earth are we ready to flush the Fourth Amendment out just for the sake of that 1%? 0.98

01:11:48.040 Moreover, if I understood him correctly, he seemed to be suggesting that those of us arguing for a warrant requirement and those of us raising concerns with FISA 702

01:11:57.720 somehow are demanding that they go through and purge all the incidentally collected information from Americans, you know, somebody talks to somebody overseas unbeknownst to them, it's an agent of a foreign power, they get collected.

01:12:12.380 It's really not what we're saying.

01:12:13.660 We're just saying before you query a U.S. person, before you search within the database for the communications of an American citizen that were inadvertently or collected incidentally under FISA 702, that you have to get a warrant for that.

01:12:30.860 Now, that's just not too much to ask, and they act as if that's an incredible lift, a Herculean effort, one that we couldn't possibly undertake, and one that's going to usher in Armageddon if they have to comply.

01:12:43.060 Well, but let me play devil's advocate, but Mike, we can't really ask for a warrant because all we have is a name.

01:12:51.440 We don't know the connection other than he's talking to him.

01:12:54.120 So how do I go in front of a judge and say, well, this American was calling this guy, so, you know, we need to look at everything about this person.

01:13:03.900 Is that enough for the judge?

01:13:05.220 Well, look, by that same logic, you couldn't get a warrant unless – getting a warrant doesn't require absolute proof.

01:13:14.180 It requires probable cause.

01:13:15.760 If you can put together a combination of factors that put together, create probable cause of something occurring, of criminal activity, then you can get a warrant.

01:13:27.000 But you've got to describe with particularity what it is that you're going after, the places, papers, things, effects that are going to be searched, their locations, and then you go after it.

01:13:40.620 It's not an insurmountable standard, but it is a standard, and we opt to follow it.

01:13:44.640 Mike, why is the – why did Congress put a carve-out for them if there's nothing to worry about here?

01:13:52.760 Yeah, this is an excellent point.

01:13:54.900 They put a carve-out for them because we know of at least one member of the House and of at least one member of the Senate who have been subjected to warrantless backdoor searches under the FISA-702 database, so that's why they did it.

01:14:08.920 There are a couple things wrong with that.

01:14:10.140 Number one, as I think you're alluding to, if it's concerning enough that we are being targeted, why shouldn't we have at least as much concern with regard to American citizens generally?

01:14:26.100 In the second place, when you look really closely at that language, creating a reporting requirement for FISA-702 searches carried out against members of Congress,

01:14:37.260 if I'm reading it correctly, and I think I am, really what they're saying is that they have to report in most instances, unless all they're doing is doing that search to conduct a defensive briefing

01:14:53.840 to let somebody know that their name is coming up in some of these conversations, that in most circumstances, all they're going to have to do is report to the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, Johnson, and Jeffries,

01:15:07.760 and then the Republican and Democratic heads of the Intelligence Oversight Committees in both houses,

01:15:14.080 which, by the way, tend to be pretty darn aligned with the intelligence community agencies.

01:15:19.600 I don't know what good that's going to do.

01:15:22.040 In some ways, that just blesses the possibility that they could conduct these searches against most members of Congress most of the time.

01:15:29.880 I don't think even members of Congress should take any solace in that, but they certainly shouldn't take any solace in knowing that they themselves might get notice in some cases,

01:15:41.620 but their constituents are left hung out to dry.

01:15:45.640 As for the suggestion that we've created these criminal penalties for misuse of FISA, okay, let's think that through, Glenn.

01:15:52.040 If, in fact, you have that crime committed, somebody from the FBI misuses the FISA 702 database and they're subject to criminal penalties, who enforces that?

01:16:04.600 If only there were a federal agency that investigated and suggested prosecution of federal crimes, who would that be?

01:16:10.900 Oh, wait, that's FBI.

01:16:12.920 So in how many instances are you going to have the FBI prosecuting people within the FBI?

01:16:17.760 We've seen how well that works out in some circumstances where flagrant abuses have happened within FBI.

01:16:24.280 We know that doesn't work.

01:16:26.360 That's why we have a special crimes unit that is supposed to be separate from your police that goes in and investigates the police.

01:16:34.760 You can't have the police investigating the police.

01:16:39.500 Correct.

01:16:40.260 And the FBI doesn't have the best track record when it comes to these and so many other abuses.

01:16:44.720 But the bottom line here, Glenn, is that we don't have to get rid of FISA 702.

01:16:50.940 I don't want to get rid of it.

01:16:52.360 I think it's good that we have access to tools that help us keep tabs on foreign adversaries operating outside the United States.

01:17:00.700 We need that.

01:17:01.860 By Mike Pompeo's own account, that's where 99% of this collection happens.

01:17:07.660 We're not even saying that that has to go away.

01:17:10.840 That has to be pared back.

01:17:12.060 We're just saying with respect to what he describes, I don't know whether it is in fact this, but what he seems to suggest is only 1%.

01:17:20.120 With regard to that 1%, if you want to search for a U.S. person, get a warrant.

01:17:25.400 This is going to be decided today in the House, correct?

01:17:29.700 Yes.

01:17:30.600 They'll be voting on it in about an hour or two at the most.

01:17:35.120 Mike, thank you for keeping us up to speed, and thanks for all that you do.

01:17:39.500 Appreciate it.

01:17:40.260 God bless.

01:17:40.820 Thanks so much, Glenn.

01:17:41.460 You bet.

01:17:42.180 Mike Lee, the senator from Utah.

01:17:44.080 Listen, they're going to be voting in an hour.

01:17:46.040 Do you care?

01:17:47.900 Do you think your voice matters anymore?

01:17:49.680 Because I know it does.

01:17:51.760 You need to call your member of Congress and say, what the hell are you even thinking?

01:17:56.660 Well, this does not expire for another 365 days.

01:18:01.560 Why are you panicking the whole world and telling us, we've got to do this right now, otherwise?

01:18:05.660 No, it doesn't.

01:18:06.960 No, it doesn't.

01:18:08.120 365 days.

01:18:09.540 You have to get your crap together, make this so it doesn't violate the Fourth Amendment while they're still investigating.

01:18:17.940 Why?

01:18:18.460 Why the panic?

01:18:19.360 Why is everything a panic in Washington?

01:18:22.480 Because they know fear, fear paralyzes you.

01:18:27.900 Have no fear.

01:18:28.980 We know who the bad guys are.

01:18:31.540 We know who the bad guys are.

01:18:31.980 We know what's coming.

01:18:33.740 We know who's fighting against it and who's fighting for it.

01:18:40.700 Call your congressman.

01:18:43.760 Let them know.

01:18:46.240 This doesn't expire, actually, for another 365 days.

01:18:52.500 And guess what?

01:18:53.580 There's an election between now and then.

01:18:55.940 And we'll be watching how my congressman, your congressman, vote on this.

01:19:03.740 Because there's no reason to approve it today.

01:19:06.920 It does not protect me.

01:19:09.000 It protects you people, but it does not protect me.

01:19:13.400 Politely, calmly, kindly, call Congress now.

01:19:19.600 They vote in 90 minutes.

01:19:23.100 All right.

01:19:23.900 The government's doing everything they can.

01:19:26.000 I've had another story I don't know if I'm going to get to today about Joe Biden saying, you know,

01:19:31.880 I will, I'll take more unilateral guns, unilateral action to take away any kind of, you know, black scary weapon, an assault rifle. 0.98

01:19:47.460 I don't even know what that is, but he's going to get them.

01:19:49.520 You need to be able to protect yourself in these times.

01:19:53.840 And even if you're afraid of guns, this is not a gun.

01:19:57.060 It looks like one, but it's not a gun.

01:19:58.960 It's a less than lethal alternative.

01:20:20.660 I don't know why you haven't called Berna yet.

01:20:23.420 Berna is a way for you to protect yourself.

01:20:26.600 Again, legal in all 50 states.

01:21:37.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:42.360 There's a couple of things that I really would really like you to do.

01:21:47.180 One, and this is not a commercial.

01:21:49.960 I'm not making money on it.

01:21:51.160 I have no connection to it.

01:21:52.620 The people who did it probably hate my guts.

01:21:54.700 I don't care.

01:21:55.220 Um, but, uh, audible is running 1984.

01:22:01.320 They, this is a new, um, piece.

01:22:03.700 There's lots of them on audible, but the newest one is really good.

01:22:07.660 Um, and I just want you to listen, you know, listen to the whole thing.

01:22:10.860 Cause it's amazing, but just listen to part one and part two.

01:22:14.260 If you listen to part one and part two, it'll take you 30 minutes and you listen with an open mind on, I don't care who you voted for on, are any of these things happening in our society today?

01:22:27.520 You, it, it, it is, you'll be blown away.

01:22:31.740 You will be blown away at how it is exact parallel to today.

01:22:38.120 And that should concern every single American.

01:22:41.640 Also, there's a great article by Michael Schellenberger that you should read this weekend.

01:22:47.460 It's part of the Glenn Beck, um, show prep today.

01:22:51.380 You can get it at Glenn Beck dot com, but just search for socialist strategy behind Brazilian

01:22:56.840 president Lula's war on free speech by Michael Schellenberger.

01:23:01.520 It is eyeopening.

01:23:04.460 The Glenn Beck program.

01:23:06.380 We have no room to compromise.

01:23:28.760 We're gonna stay together.

01:23:30.860 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:59.140 You know, I, uh, I have sat in this chair for many, many years, at least two decades with a, uh, a monitor, a big monitor in front of me that has all of the news networks on it.

01:24:19.760 And I have CNN in one corner, Fox News, CNBC, and MSNBC.

01:24:25.440 And, uh, I look at them and almost, I mean, with an exception of maybe one being out of step with the others, they're almost always the same lead headlines.

01:24:37.560 Okay. Um, just looked up a minute ago.

01:24:42.680 First one, hush money trial.

01:24:46.480 Second one, inflation disinformation.

01:24:51.260 Third one, Iranian attack imminent. 0.74

01:24:55.260 Uh, and the, uh, and the, uh, other one was government spending out of control.

01:25:02.100 I don't know.

01:25:03.060 I don't know.

01:25:04.080 Looks like we have a lot of issues going on.

01:25:08.020 Uh, lots of them.

01:25:10.340 Lots of them.

01:25:11.820 Probably the most pressing, uh, for this weekend is a possible Iranian strike, terrorist attacks.

01:25:19.620 Uh, and your budget, your money, your future of making money, the future for your children, what's happening to our society.

01:25:34.620 Uh, and I mean the entire West when it comes to capital, when it comes to doing business and having money, they are slowly bleeding people dry.

01:25:46.860 Carol Roth joins me in 60 seconds to give you the update on this.

01:25:52.720 Um, you know, I'm a doctor, right?

01:25:54.160 I mean, I'm a doctor.

01:25:55.900 I'm not any old doctor.

01:25:56.940 I'm a doctor of humanities, which I'm pretty sure means anything involving the human condition I can answer.

01:26:03.220 Uh, so I have the answer for you.

01:26:04.840 I mean, I mean, I am an expert.

01:26:06.400 I'm a doctor, man.

01:26:07.600 Damn it.

01:26:09.380 The best practices when it comes to buying or selling a house, does that involve humans?

01:26:14.160 Yes.

01:26:14.600 The best doctorate in humanities, that's why I can help you with that realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:26:21.180 It's one, it's not just any old real estate, it's one you can trust.

01:26:24.880 And you can trust me because I'm a doctor.

01:26:28.360 I started a company over a decade ago with my brother.

01:26:31.360 It's realestateagentsitrust.com because honestly, I didn't know what I was doing.

01:26:35.620 It was before I was a doctor.

01:26:37.320 Uh, I didn't know what I was doing.

01:26:38.900 And I was sick and tired of, I don't know who a good real estate, how do you find them?

01:26:43.900 Well, I, I like to get my, uh, recommendations from, uh, bus boards.

01:26:48.300 I think when it's got that smiling face on there and they're like, Hey, call us, you're selling your house.

01:26:53.100 I think that's the best way to go for it.

01:26:54.600 So realestateagentsitrust.com doesn't do it that way.

01:26:59.240 Uh, we actually vet all of these people, monitor all of these people, see and get customer responses to make sure they are using the best practices.

01:27:07.840 They're actually listening to people and they're some of the best in your area.

01:27:12.340 Uh, realestateagentsitrust.com just tell us where you're, you're buying or selling, whether it's across the street or across the country, and we'll help you find the right real estate agent, usually in just a few minutes.

01:27:23.580 So it's realestateagentsitrust.com realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:27:30.340 Carol Roth.

01:27:31.280 I know we have a lot to talk about.

01:27:32.660 So just quickly, uh, I woke up this morning, uh, looking at gold prices and, uh, was kind of, uh, kind of impressed on how they're skyrocketing.

01:27:43.900 And I remember a conversation with a gold guy who said, don't ever, ever look at gold and say, gee, I hope it goes up because of my portfolio.

01:27:54.020 And we were talking about $3,000 an ounce.

01:27:57.000 And he said, do you realize how crazy the world has to be for gold to be at $3,000 an ounce?

01:28:02.700 It's over 2,400.

01:28:04.120 Now we're headed there quickly.

01:28:07.060 Yes.

01:28:07.500 I remember a discussion that you and I had with a group of people, I believe, uh, in November of last year, when people were saying a similar thing, when is gold going to break out?

01:28:17.800 And you and I were both communicating the idea that gold is really a hedge against all kinds of insanity, things like inflation, things like the, you know, crumbling stand, standing of the dollar, um, things like war.

01:28:31.620 And so when you see that gold is continues to rise, even in the face of things like, um, rising yields on bonds, I mean, normally there's a little bit of pushback there.

01:28:42.840 We saw that as bond yields had gone up, uh, people were, were moving away from gold because you weren't getting that same, uh, interest rate.

01:28:50.600 You know, gold doesn't, it doesn't produce an interest rate.

01:28:52.620 So there's a different reason why we are looking at gold.

01:28:56.880 And some of the things that we're talking about are a bit more structural, perhaps gold playing a bigger role in things like settling international commodities, uh, trades and trading between countries, uh, particularly the BRICS nations.

01:29:11.260 But again, all of the things that are, are these signals, none of them are good for us here in the United States.

01:29:19.000 You have the signal is, Oh, well, it's just because of, you know, trade.

01:29:22.300 Well, that's not good for the U S dollars reserve currency.

01:29:25.020 And that's not good for, you know, inflation over the longterm and our purchasing power.

01:29:30.100 So all of these things do have a mechanism.

01:29:32.460 And when you see, you know, so much, um, interest in gold over the past few months, when it has been very steady for, uh, for a while, that breakout is giving you additional information.

01:29:45.740 And like you said, in this particular case, I think that information is coming from lots of different places and not one of them is good.

01:29:53.640 Yeah. Uh, one of them that is, you know, we're, we're, we're hitting the point where, um, our, our debt, the interest on our debt is going to be $1.6 trillion a year.

01:30:06.200 That's more than social security. It's the biggest lie. It will be the top line on our budget.

01:30:12.240 Now is just the interest because we have an adjustable mortgage in America. Uh, and there's the, the, the, the fed I think is out of bullets.

01:30:21.960 Yeah. I've been making this argument now for a couple of years that the feds monetary policy, um, isn't effective because they're, they're trying to control demands.

01:30:35.020 And so many of the issues that we've had are on the supply side. Additionally, we had been headed, and I kind of think we're, we're in today, this period of fiscal dominance.

01:30:45.380 And as we've talked about before, that just means that fiscal policy, uh, plays a bigger role in what is determining, determining economic outcomes and monetary policy on its, its face.

01:30:57.200 That is sort of neutral fiscal dominance, but in our particular situation, it's, it's very bad. It's because of the debt. It's because of the deficits.

01:31:05.820 And it's because of the fact that we have these massive interest payments and continuing deficits that need to be financed and are creating this vicious loop.

01:31:14.280 And as we know, there are, there's not a lot of ways, um, to finance the debt. There certainly are not a lot of buyers. And we saw that this week.

01:31:23.740 There was a treasury auction for 10 year treasury notes that did horribly. It was rated a D by Brooke Santelli at CNBC, who's very, very smart. Um, D, by the way, I don't know if you know, this is right next to F. So that, that is a very bad position to be in.

01:31:40.200 And we've always been triple A, haven't we?

01:31:43.560 We always, I mean, 10 years ago, the debt. So there's a debt rating and that's done by the rating agencies. These are the bond auctions.

01:31:52.480 This is when the treasury goes out to the market and says, you know, how is it that, you know, how did, how did we do? How many buyers were there who were standing on by who want to buy our debts?

01:32:04.680 And so this happens on a regular basis. And, you know, people who watch this, they give those auctions a grade to say, how did we do? Were there a lot of buyers? Were there not a lot of buyers?

01:32:13.760 So this particular time, there were not a lot of buyers and the banks and securities dealers had to sop up a lot of that debt, which just is, you know, it's pushing us to this path of monetization again that we've been talking about.

01:32:28.460 And that means that we're buying our own debt and that is inflationary. So even if we're not getting things like rate cuts that potentially could stoke inflation, you're going to get this monetization of debt, which is inflationary, which is why I've been arguing that inflation is sticky and it doesn't matter if the Fed goes high or low.

01:32:48.220 So it's getting us on either side until the government gets its act together. They are driving the show. It is that fiscal dominance.

01:32:57.280 Tell me about the consumer price index and the wholesale index. The numbers don't make sense. For instance, fuel is not an inflation. It isn't an inflation right now.

01:33:13.580 Look at the price of fuel. What do they mean?

01:33:17.480 So, you know who loves the data coming out of the government right now, Glenn?

01:33:22.940 The government.

01:33:24.000 Oscar the Grouch. You know why? Because the data is trash. It is absolutely trash data. Not only have we seen adjustments on a regular basis, the scope of which we have not seen in a long time.

01:33:37.760 The numbers always get adjusted, but we have not seen these massive adjustments that we've been seeing.

01:33:45.160 We also have a phenomenon where people and entities who respond to the surveys, where they collect the data, don't want to do that anymore.

01:33:54.580 Either they don't want to be bothered, they don't trust the government with their data, whatever it is.

01:33:58.760 They don't want to give up their competitive advantages.

01:34:00.560 So they're having fewer people respond to these surveys, which means that there is more of this projection and biases in the survey.

01:34:11.060 So that's why we saw the CPI, which is the Consumer Price Index.

01:34:15.180 That's where they go out and they survey households. That came in higher than expected.

01:34:21.560 We all expected that it would be an uptick because, as you said, we know the price of oil and other commodities have been going up.

01:34:29.620 So this was not a surprise to any of us who live in the real world.

01:34:33.260 And so that was somewhat reflected in that data.

01:34:37.960 And certainly the market had reacted to that and said, oh, well, if that's the case, the Fed can't cut.

01:34:43.660 Then we have another measure of inflation because they measure it in different ways.

01:34:48.040 And this is the Producer Price Index, PPI, which is the wholesale measure of inflation.

01:34:53.420 And this is supposed to tell you what's coming because the inputs that go into your goods and services give you a sense of what's coming down the pike.

01:35:02.440 And this was the one that was the head scratcher because it was not higher.

01:35:07.380 There's a huge disconnect between these two measures always, but even a bigger disconnect.

01:35:12.820 But the one, as you said, that everybody was going, what's going on here related to energy.

01:35:19.040 So there was a floating around social media yesterday, there was a chart about the seasonal adjustments.

01:35:24.860 Again, this manipulation of the data that they do.

01:35:28.020 And if you looked at that, it showed you that gasoline for the month was down 3.6%, I think it was.

01:35:37.140 Yeah, 3.6.

01:35:38.660 Right.

01:35:38.940 So if you didn't seasonally adjust it, it would have been up 6.3%.

01:35:44.280 That's a really big swing.

01:35:46.660 That's like a 10% swing between the two of them.

01:35:49.940 So, again, Oscar the Grouch data here.

01:35:53.860 Certainly, we're going to get another measure in a couple of weeks here, one called the PCE, the Personal Consumptions Expenditures Index.

01:36:02.280 This is the Fed's quote-unquote favored measure.

01:36:06.020 I don't know.

01:36:06.660 Maybe they like the people who do it better.

01:36:08.380 It's a little bit more broad.

01:36:09.580 But that's what they tend to make their policy decisions on.

01:36:12.820 But the media and everybody is focused on the CPI, so it makes it very difficult for them, or at least adds another layer of difficulty because they're going to do whatever it is that they want to do when that is going up for them to say, well, inflation's under control.

01:36:27.740 You know, we can go ahead and start to cut interest rates, which is why I think everybody needs to be paying attention to their other tools, which relate to the balance sheet and debt and what they're going to do there, because that's just a different way of them to be accommodative.

01:36:44.300 They're not going to do anything.

01:36:45.360 I mean, he's not addressing inflation.

01:36:48.480 Biden is spending more.

01:36:50.240 He's now, you know, again, forgiving more debt, trying to get people into houses.

01:36:56.520 I mean, he is – we are just giving away the store at this point.

01:37:01.960 They are – we've been saying this since day one.

01:37:05.380 They have been working in the opposite direction.

01:37:08.320 If you wanted to help the Fed get inflation under control as the government, you should have been working with them.

01:37:15.880 You should not have been running up deficits.

01:37:18.420 You've been putting into place policies that help supply issues instead of hurting supply issues.

01:37:24.440 Every single thing this administration has done has been a barrier not only to you keeping your wealth and your purchasing power, but what it is the Fed has been doing.

01:37:36.200 And that's the fight that the Fed's been having.

01:37:39.140 And I just think at some point they're going to need to be real explicit and say we can't do anything until our partners get on the same page.

01:37:48.020 But, you know, everything's political, so that's not going to happen.

01:37:51.880 All right.

01:37:52.460 When we come back, she's actually been invited to be somebody who testifies in front of Congress.

01:38:01.540 Carol Roth in front of Congress testifying as an expert by the end of the month on small businesses.

01:38:07.880 And she's going to be talking about the FinCEN, you know, thing that's going on with LLCs and small businesses where you have to register all this information or you're a criminal.

01:38:21.900 Yeah.

01:38:22.500 And it's going to devastate small businesses, small LLCs, etc.

01:38:28.320 And it affects so many people.

01:38:30.420 She's going to be testifying.

01:38:31.720 But here's the good news.

01:38:33.540 She wants to use information that maybe you have to back up her testimony.

01:38:40.500 And we'll talk about that in 60 seconds.

01:38:42.820 First, ever since 9-11, the Tunnel Towers Foundation has been helping America's greatest heroes in their families.

01:38:49.060 And you can join them on their mission to do good by supporting the families of America's greatest heroes, the families of fallen first responders,

01:38:56.200 the Gold Star families with young children, catastrophically injured service members, and homeless veterans.

01:39:06.460 I cannot believe we live in a country that is doing what we're doing with illegals and we have homeless veterans. 1.00

01:39:11.720 They're providing mortgage-free homes to these people, some of them specially adapted for the needs of catastrophically injured veterans.

01:39:18.800 And they're working tirelessly every day to eliminate homelessness among veterans.

01:39:22.900 This is an organization respected by and donated to by many of their own people in and out of uniform.

01:39:30.120 David Marshall, he served in the Army during World War II.

01:39:33.120 He fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

01:39:34.780 He's never forgotten the sacrifice of his comrades in arms, nor the efforts of the first responders on 9-11 or the days and the months that followed.

01:39:41.560 He is a loyal and proud foundation donor.

01:39:44.760 More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate goes to Tunnel to Towers to its programs.

01:39:50.240 So, they're not spending it on limousines and everything else.

01:39:53.760 Donate $11 a month.

01:39:55.360 The Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

01:39:57.620 That's T, the number 2T, dot org.

01:40:01.240 10 seconds, station ID.

01:40:12.880 Now, I think our banks are fine.

01:40:14.460 Everything's doing really well.

01:40:15.640 Just a quick update, the AT&T Tower in St. Louis went for $3.55 million.

01:40:24.600 That's a good solid $2 a square foot.

01:40:29.700 Sold for $3 million.

01:40:31.600 It was sold for over $205 million just about 15 years ago.

01:40:38.080 So, no, there's nothing to see here.

01:40:40.220 Nothing to see here.

01:40:41.940 Carol, let's talk about small business.

01:40:44.520 Yes.

01:40:45.640 Take me through, again, in case people don't know what FinCEN is and what they're now requiring people to do.

01:40:52.680 This is the criminal arm of the Treasury.

01:40:56.700 And they're asking everybody who has an LLC or a small business to register.

01:41:02.320 Yes.

01:41:02.640 So, this is called the CTA BOI rule.

01:41:06.560 And basically what it said, and this was passed by Congress, was vetoed by President Trump.

01:41:12.040 And then they went back and Congress overturned the veto and gave this arm of the Treasury, which is charged with preventing financial crimes, sort of free reign.

01:41:21.820 And they said, okay, we're going to create a database.

01:41:23.980 And if you have any sort of entity, if you have an LLC, even a single member LLC, an S Corp, a C Corp, any sort of entity, and you're a business, you need to register with us, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, because we want to prevent money laundering and cartels.

01:41:42.960 And, of course, you know, I'm sure all of those people are going to self-report, but they exempted all the big businesses.

01:41:48.500 All the best cartels do. 0.97

01:41:49.680 Yeah, they all do.

01:41:50.680 They're like, well, you know, we're going to do these things, but we're going to make sure that FinCEN gets our information.

01:41:55.360 But they exempted all the big businesses.

01:41:57.500 So this is unfairly targeting small businesses.

01:42:00.780 So the updates, a few things are what are happening, and we can certainly go more into this, is that I have been invited by the House Small Business Committee to be an expert to testify and, you know, obviously testify against this and how bad this is for small businesses and how unconstitutional at the end of the month.

01:42:19.800 What I am doing is I am bringing statements from small business owners, because it's great to hear my statement, but if I can show up there and say I have 100 or 200 small businesses, and here's what they have to say about this, and they're all outraged, that holds a lot more weight.

01:42:36.860 So anyone who owns a small business, if you support small business, go to carolroth.com slash C-T-A.

01:42:45.500 That's carolroth.com slash charlietangoalpha, and I've made it really easy.

01:42:50.800 I've given a form letter that if you want, you can borrow some of it, you can borrow all of it, you can borrow none of it.

01:42:56.400 But I'm going to show up at Congress with this stack from small business owners to say, you've heard what I have to say.

01:43:03.960 Now listen to what small business owners from across the nation have to say to try to get them to overturn this.

01:43:10.400 Now, can I – could I – because I – I mean, today's not the day for me to write something.

01:43:14.880 Yes.

01:43:15.500 Because I'm in a very bad mood, but I could – could I just write to you and say, yeah, here's what I'd like to say to Congress.

01:43:22.140 I'm working my ass off so I can keep my family afloat and the families of all of my employees, and you guys are just making my life more and more difficult with more and more restrictions and guidelines that nobody in Congress passed and are not good for the American people.

01:43:45.140 I've had it.

01:43:46.320 Please do.

01:43:47.340 Again, carolroth.com slash CTA.

01:43:49.540 Please do that.

01:43:50.140 And I actually think being in a bad mood is a good time to write it because that's when you're going to be honest and that's when you're not going to pull any punches.

01:43:56.720 I'll write today then.

01:43:57.600 Yeah, so – and speaking of helping, so one of the things that you did that was very generous, Glenn, is you offered to put forth a lawsuit, and I agreed.

01:44:07.580 We cannot do that because we have been outspoken.

01:44:11.440 What the good news is is that there are two new lawsuits against this that have also popped up, so we have a lot of really good momentum here.

01:44:18.320 Okay.

01:44:18.580 And appreciative to you for all of your help.

01:44:21.060 Okay, so give me the address again.

01:44:23.460 It's carolroth.com slash CTA, correct?

01:44:28.220 Correct.

01:44:28.760 Okay.

01:44:30.020 carolroth.com slash CTA.

01:44:32.540 Hey, if you're a small business owner, go ahead, vent a little bit.

01:44:37.460 You'll take it to Congress.

01:44:38.760 Thanks, Carl.

01:44:39.520 Glenn Beck.

01:44:41.720 When my pillow started out, they were really only after one thing, making an amazing, comfortable pillow that would bring people a great night's sleep.

01:44:48.680 Well, they accomplished that.

01:44:50.360 But they also pissed off a lot of people along the way, and those people have decided to make this what was a small business at one point to put them out of business.

01:44:59.780 So they made it so nobody can carry their commercials, and I just quite honestly don't give a flying crap.

01:45:07.320 So we still take their commercials, but their commercials can't air on television, et cetera, et cetera.

01:45:13.400 The big box stores, oh, geez, we're too afraid of controversy.

01:45:17.920 Really?

01:45:18.480 Are you?

01:45:20.140 Anyway, they're having a $25 extravaganza because they appreciate you, and they want to keep your business,

01:45:28.020 and they want to introduce you to some of their new products.

01:45:30.700 $25 extravaganza, promo code BECK, two-pack multi-use pillows, $25.

01:45:37.300 MyPillow sandals, $25.

01:45:38.800 Their six-pack towel sets are $25.

01:45:42.180 The premium MyPillows with the all-new Giza fabric, $25.

01:45:47.220 MyPillow.com.

01:45:48.340 Click on the radio listener square and type in my name, Beck, and you will save $25 for almost everything at MyPillow.com.

01:45:58.060 All right, more in just a minute on where do we go from here.

01:46:18.340 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:46:30.840 Last week, I saw Christopher Ruffo, who I greatly admire, write and talk about something we don't need to even talk about.

01:46:39.480 But in that, he said, the right faces an inflection point.

01:46:45.620 There are serious people who are trying to advance a serious political movement with a vision for governing.

01:46:52.660 There are also unserious people who are willing to sell kayfabe and conspiracy, leading us nowhere.

01:47:00.560 I care about politics because I believe we have substantive work to do for the country.

01:47:05.240 This requires putting together a coalition that is capable of taking responsibility.

01:47:10.880 The choice is ours.

01:47:13.900 I responded to that, and people, and I'm hoping Christopher didn't, but people thought that I was coming after Christopher, and I wasn't.

01:47:24.860 I was really frustrated with, he's right, but what does a serious option look like?

01:47:31.660 I said, I have great respect for Chris Ruffo.

01:47:35.340 He has done more to expose the rot than many of us combined.

01:47:38.640 But, Chris, the only option I see that is viable is a return to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

01:47:43.660 All of our problems stem from the violation of these documents.

01:47:46.800 Congress doesn't care, nor does it even attempt to do its job.

01:47:50.600 Every administration is worse than the last.

01:47:52.780 At this point, it is all-powerful.

01:47:55.140 Supreme Court has trouble defining a woman. 1.00

01:47:57.740 May God help us with them defining any of the amendments.

01:48:00.680 Our Justice Department, Intel, and every agency has been co-opted by radicals.

01:48:05.720 Those that believe in a constitutional republic are not the radicals.

01:48:09.600 There is another option.

01:48:11.960 Return to e pluribus unum the Bill of Rights and Constitution.

01:48:16.320 So I wanted to get Christopher on because I heard from so many people that we were warring.

01:48:22.660 And, Christopher, I'm sorry if I let anybody of your friend circle to think that I would stand against you because I have such admiration for you.

01:48:31.240 Of course not.

01:48:32.420 No, I didn't take any offense to it.

01:48:34.360 And, in fact, I found that we were actually in agreement.

01:48:37.440 So I'm glad we have a chance to talk in greater depth.

01:48:39.980 I mean, I think you diagnosed the problem there perfectly.

01:48:43.420 But the question that I'm raising is, how do we get there?

01:48:47.080 What kind of coalition do we need?

01:48:48.940 What kind of intellectual leadership will we need?

01:48:51.380 And then what political leadership will need?

01:48:53.340 And what I've noticed on the right, especially after the horrific 10-7 attacks against Jews in Israel, is that there has been a fragmentation.

01:49:03.240 And there are some people who are chasing conspiracy theories.

01:49:06.960 There's a rise, a kind of resurgence on the outer fringes of some anti-Semitism on the right.

01:49:12.340 And then there are people who are elevating their profiles in media on conspiracy theories that lead nowhere, on kind of tabloid-style gossip that doesn't offer any concrete possibility.

01:49:26.720 And so I think we have a media problem, and we have, in addition, a leadership problem.

01:49:31.560 And when you say a media problem, you mean the right media.

01:49:34.940 Yes, yes, absolutely.

01:49:37.600 I just, I think that if you look at kind of serious conservative media figures, and of course I would include you in this, you're always doing the reporting, the conversations, trying to guide people towards something that they can do, some legislation that politicians can pass, some policy that we can adopt, some kind of counterculture that we can build.

01:49:59.360 But I think given the dynamics of online media, advertising, audience building, and then just the dynamics of kind of general tech and media trends, some people are being kind of generously rewarded with clicks and attention who don't actually offer anything substantive.

01:50:18.600 And I think it gets some of our audience, some of our listeners, in this outrage cycle, where they're outraged for outrage's sake, but they have no, they're not being directed towards guiding that outrage towards something constructive.

01:50:32.000 And I've seen it, it can really be damaging to people, and it's certainly damaging to a political movement.

01:50:37.340 And I don't think it's a failure of the audience, I think it's actually a failure of us in the media, in positions of authority, in positions of leadership.

01:50:44.220 You always have to guide people towards something that can make their lives better.

01:50:49.340 And if we're not doing that, we're taking advantage, and we have to stop.

01:50:52.840 So I completely agree with you.

01:50:55.120 So what is, I mean, because we agree on the solution, and this is my point back to you, was I am very afraid of, you know, serious options,

01:51:05.640 because there is another split in the right that is willing to look at extraconstitutional solutions.

01:51:18.720 And that's really dangerous.

01:51:22.400 And starting to say, well, this constitution, maybe it's old and dusty, like the left has been saying, no, no, no, no.

01:51:28.660 So all of our problems are solved by two things.

01:51:33.100 One, the people living a better life, and I don't mean like you're making more money.

01:51:38.760 I mean, you're a more decent, humble, and just better person, plus the rule of law being restored as written.

01:51:50.520 So where do you see anybody coming up and really promoting that, Chris?

01:51:56.300 Well, I think that's exactly what we need to do, and I've been very vocal.

01:52:02.100 There's a lot of frustration on the right.

01:52:04.060 There's a lot of anxiety, but all of our problems can be solved through kind of normal, peaceful, democratic means.

01:52:12.160 We still have a great system, but our system is atrophying because we aren't using that system.

01:52:17.640 And so I would point to the leadership of someone whom I admire very much, Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida.

01:52:22.780 He had the same legislature that Jeb Bush did.

01:52:25.420 He had the same state constitution, and yet he's using power effectively within the law to make Florida a better state for people to live, work, and raise families.

01:52:35.140 And so I think we have to really discipline our own coalition.

01:52:38.960 We have to stop engaging in these kind of fantasies of extrajudicial or extraparliamentary politics, and we have to say, if we are going to be the conservative political party, the conservative political movement, we have to respect the documents and just be smarter, be more persistent, be more diligent in actually practicing politics.

01:53:02.360 And so there are models out there that are successful, and I think we have another model of the kind of more, say, radical, kind of extra-constitutional model that is a dismal failure.

01:53:14.880 It's always been a dismal failure.

01:53:16.300 When the left did it in the late 1960s and early 1970s with those radical movements, the American people rejected them.

01:53:23.380 If the right does it at any time now or in the future, the people, the citizens will reject them.

01:53:28.920 It's a dead end, and we need media figures that are kind of telling people to straighten out, to have self-discipline, to remind people of the constitutional principles that we're fighting for,

01:53:40.140 and then to lay out a plausible plan, because people get desperate when they think they have no other options, and so it's our responsibility to show them the concrete options, not just spin out into conspiracy land.

01:53:55.200 So, Chris, I don't listen to anybody else.

01:54:00.440 I don't watch anybody else.

01:54:02.560 I read, but I've tried to cut my reading back to about four hours a day, because it's just poison.

01:54:13.460 It's just all poison, but it's part of my job.

01:54:16.060 I've got to read and be informed.

01:54:18.460 So I don't, but I don't hear things.

01:54:20.500 You, I am very concerned about just somebody doing something stupid.

01:54:25.980 I'm also very concerned about this very, very, very small group of people that are Christian nationalists, but it's very small.

01:54:39.060 I am not concerned about the average listener, if you will.

01:54:47.860 Correct.

01:54:48.260 You seem to be, I don't know if your concern is greater than mine, and I'm pretty concerned about things.

01:54:55.080 I want to, I want to judge why, what is it that you're feeling or is bringing this out in such a passionate way?

01:55:04.080 I want to make sure I'm not missing it.

01:55:06.140 Yeah, well, I think we are approaching a critical period in our country's history, and, you know, I think the genesis of my comments was this, you know, blow up between Candace Owens and the Daily Wire, you know, Ben Shapiro's publication.

01:55:22.500 And, you know, I think that I try to be disciplined in my criticisms of people within our coalition, within our movement.

01:55:30.740 But, you know, Candace had been arguing that there are secret gangs of Jews murdering people in Hollywood. 0.98

01:55:37.760 She had rationalized Kanye West's, you know, kind of deranged anti-Semitic outbursts.

01:55:44.820 She had been, you know, pushing stories about how the president of France's wife is actually a man.

01:55:49.740 And these are stories that drive cliques, they drive controversy, but they actually don't create anything substantive.

01:55:58.700 And unfortunately, there is a kind of rising group of commentators and media figures that have figured out that the way to get cheap attention is to put forward stories like these.

01:56:11.760 And I just think that we have to be, of course, kind of tolerant of a range of opinion, but there also is an outer bound or a limit that any political movement needs to maintain its own coherence and its own discipline.

01:56:27.660 And you're not talking about censorship.

01:56:29.920 You're just talking about self-control.

01:56:31.760 That's right. It's first self-discipline, and then it's also giving people a better option.

01:56:37.760 So, of course, I mean, I don't think any of these opinions should be censored.

01:56:41.840 They shouldn't be, you know, stricken from the record.

01:56:44.480 The government should not have any sway whatsoever.

01:56:47.400 But I think that it's up to us to have that discerning judgment and then to also show people why this is such a limitation, why it actually is not helpful.

01:56:59.300 And to get people out of this outrage cycle that depletes them and into a cycle of participation in politics in the real sense.

01:57:08.760 You know, politics is not, you know, tweeting conspiracy theories.

01:57:13.560 Politics is actually winning elections, changing the law and managing institutions.

01:57:18.520 And so we need a movement that is capable of doing that.

01:57:21.860 And if we're not a movement that is capable of doing that, we don't deserve power.

01:57:26.240 We don't deserve to win and we don't deserve to have our ideas shaping the law.

01:57:31.420 I am we're talking to Christopher Ruffo.

01:57:34.200 I am gravely concerned that any time between now and really probably January 20th of next year is the most dangerous place our republic may have ever been.

01:57:46.840 And that's including in the Civil War.

01:57:48.380 We are we are we are at the edge of losing everything.

01:57:52.560 Somebody does something stupid.

01:57:54.140 We go to war.

01:57:55.100 The economy collapse, whatever it is.

01:57:57.740 There is there is a real shot that we lose our freedom.

01:58:04.000 It's happening.

01:58:05.200 I mean, look what's happening in Brazil.

01:58:07.160 This is this is happening all over the West right now.

01:58:11.160 And I know I have self edited more than I've ever edited because I want to be very careful with my words because I am so concerned about the cries of diss and miss and malinformation that will be wrongly pointed in people's direction by the state.

01:58:30.820 But it's important now that we are speaking clearly and as and as accurately as we possibly can.

01:58:41.180 Do you feel the same way?

01:58:42.880 I feel the same way and I'm very concerned about it.

01:58:45.620 And I think this really dovetails nicely with my overall argument.

01:58:49.360 You know, if we don't have the self discipline and if we engage in these kind of wild lines of media narratives, it's going to provide a you know, it's fake, but it will provide a kind of rationalization or justification for continued censorship.

01:59:05.180 If they if the government and the organized left can point to verifiably false conspiracy theories, they can then use it as justification for censorship.

01:59:15.160 Obviously, I don't support that.

01:59:16.800 I think you should. I think everyone has the right to say whatever they want, you know, true, false, good or bad.

01:59:22.960 But but, you know, we have to be realistic about it.

01:59:26.900 And this is a major threat of getting deplatformed, of getting debanked, of getting kind of de-anonymized, exposed.

01:59:35.820 And so we have we unfortunately I mean, look, the New York Times can publish conspiracy theories for three years about Russiagate.

01:59:43.520 They'll be awarded the Pulitzer Prize and they'll pay no price when it turns out to be all a pack of lies.

01:59:50.380 We don't have that luxury.

01:59:52.160 I wish we did, but we have to take the reality for what it is.

01:59:55.640 We have to be more disciplined.

01:59:57.280 We have to have higher standards and we have to fight much smarter than our opponents.

02:00:01.600 That said, the good news is that when we fight smart, like DeSantis has done in Florida, there is a wide open vista of possibility for us.

02:00:10.940 And we can and we can truly create, you know, what I think of as a counter hegemony that will create a bulwark or a defense against all of the awful things that the organized left is doing.

02:01:37.500 Hello, America.

02:01:56.240 Before I leave today for the weekend, I just want to thank you so much for listening, so

02:02:02.900 much for being there.

02:02:05.240 You know, I know we speak to millions of people every week.

02:02:09.660 Probably about, I think it's 11 million just on this program every week.

02:02:13.580 And I'm grateful.

02:02:16.960 And I don't know how many people in that 11 million are actually making changes in their

02:02:23.880 life.

02:02:24.420 But if you are, I thank you for that.

02:02:27.760 And don't give up.

02:02:32.940 We have to be a better people than we are.

02:02:37.040 I know many people, at times, I'm included in this, that are better people than we were

02:02:45.540 when we started this journey.

02:02:47.840 And we still have a long way to go.

02:02:51.300 But if we are going to be the people that I have always thought this audience would be,

02:02:56.320 and that is the people who actually, even if it's in remnants, saves the Republic and

02:03:01.440 the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, we are going to have to be really,

02:03:07.040 really strong, loving, kind, peaceful.

02:03:11.940 We are going to need to be as close to that carpenter from Nazareth as possible. 0.99

02:03:21.680 Spend your weekend making plans to be just a better person and have a safe weekend.

02:03:29.280 Thank you for listening.
