Summary

Ease For Everybody is the first national group health care plan to open every single adult in America without the red tape, co-pays, deductibles, in-network or out-of-network, it's a maze. And it feels like somewhere along the way, health care just stopped being about health and started being about loopholes and paperwork.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners,
00:00:03.760 I started wondering,
00:00:05.460 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?
00:00:08.520 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
00:00:11.240 Are those from Winners?
00:00:12.760 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings.
00:00:15.240 Did she pay full price?
00:00:16.560 Or that leather tote?
00:00:17.580 Or that cashmere sweater?
00:00:18.820 Or those knee-high boots?
00:00:20.260 That dress?
00:00:21.040 That jacket?
00:00:21.720 Those shoes?
00:00:22.380 Is anyone paying full price for anything?
00:00:25.800 Stop wondering.
00:00:26.980 Start winning.
00:00:27.900 Winners.
00:00:28.480 Find fabulous for less.
00:00:30.000 Let me tell you about ease for everybody.
00:00:32.560 You know that moment when you're comparing health care plans
00:00:35.580 and it feels like you need a law degree just to understand what you're getting
00:00:38.580 and more importantly, what you're not getting.
00:00:42.740 We're talking about things like co-pays, deductibles, in-network, out-of-network.
00:00:47.020 It's a maze.
00:00:47.780 And it feels like somewhere along the way,
00:00:49.280 health care just stopped being about health and started being about loopholes and paperwork.
00:00:53.500 Ease for everyone is not just another option.
00:00:56.300 It is a reset.
00:00:57.460 It is the first national group health plan.
00:01:00.040 First national group health plan to open every single adult in America.
00:01:05.780 You don't have to work for a big corporation.
00:01:07.420 You don't have to navigate government red tape.
00:01:09.180 You just choose what plan fits your life, your needs, your budget, and that's it.
00:01:12.480 It starts around $262 an hour, I mean a month.
00:01:16.240 And it is built for people who want to understand their coverage
00:01:19.100 and be able to use their coverage and trust that it will be there when they need it.
00:01:23.700 This is a fight for freedom.

00:02:24.360 And thanks for standing with us.
00:02:25.980 Now let's get to work.
00:02:55.980 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.
00:03:19.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:27.060 Hello, America.
00:03:28.260 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:29.840 Glad you're here.
00:03:30.460 The family, apparently the wife and, quote, numerous children of the Boulder terror attack suspect are going to be deported.
00:03:42.680 And, boy, a lot of people are very upset about that.
00:03:44.660 I mean, yes, I mean, he was a good dad, sure.
00:03:47.820 I mean, he waited until his daughter graduated so he didn't have to be in jail for murdering Jews and setting an old woman on fire, you know, during the graduation week.
00:03:58.300 So, I mean, you're going to hold that against him and his family.
00:04:02.080 I mean, I'm sure they're not extremists just because dad is.
00:04:05.120 Oh, my gosh.
00:04:06.900 Wait until you hear this.
00:04:07.720 And there's some critical thinking questions that I think we need to ask today.
00:04:11.620 We're going to kind of focus on critical thinking today to see if maybe we can jumpstart that critical thinking pattern in anybody in America.
00:04:20.220 Or is it just you and me?
00:04:21.820 All right.
00:04:22.040 We begin in 60 seconds.
00:04:23.200 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:04:25.240 It is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:04:27.460 I was with them last night here in West Palm.
00:04:30.160 I have another fundraiser tonight to do.
00:04:32.820 But last night was for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:04:37.000 And they were it was an amazing scene last night.
00:04:41.540 Sean was there.
00:04:42.460 Sean Hannity was there.
00:04:44.460 Clay and Buck was there.
00:04:47.220 I was there.
00:04:48.040 All of the big supporters.
00:04:49.620 And it has taken on a different field, you know, because what is happening?
00:04:55.920 You know, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been there in Israel forever.
00:05:01.060 And it is Christians that are trying to to let the Jews know you're not alone this time.
00:05:08.720 There are good Christians that will stand with you this time.
00:05:12.460 We we know what God we serve.
00:05:14.660 We know our God is your God.
00:05:17.080 Your people are my people.
00:05:19.620 And now we're seeing it happen here in our own country.
00:05:24.880 And it is.
00:05:26.200 I thank you for being awake.
00:05:28.260 I thank you for being awake and remembering who we are and what we're supposed to be serving.
00:05:33.720 If you would like to get involved and bless the people of Israel and the Jewish neighbors that you have, your gift of forty five dollars will help support the life saving work by helping provide food, shelter and so much more for the people of Israel.
00:05:49.420 The Bible says, I will bless those who bless you.
00:05:52.560 We need blessings.
00:05:53.900 I think, you know, we need blessings.
00:05:58.780 Supporting the IFCJ is a spiritual stand showing up for God's people when it counts.
00:06:03.220 So please call 888-488-IFCJ.
00:06:06.180 That's 888-488-IFCJ.
00:06:08.540 888-488-4325.
00:06:10.720 Or online at ifcj.org.
00:06:12.800 That's ifcj.org.
00:06:14.760 Okay, so the wife and numerous children of the Boulder terror attack suspect to be deported, you know, he was the shirtless guy that was acting like he was a landscaper while Jews were in their demonstration run for their lives, a grassroots organization against Hamas terror.
00:06:37.920 Um, and he was there and he threw Molotov cocktails.
00:06:42.200 Um, luckily, I guess, um, he was captured on a cell phone video at the scene.
00:06:47.820 Um, he's already admitted it, uh, but the family is now being deported.
00:06:52.460 They're being processed, a process for expedited removal back to Egypt.
00:06:57.140 Uh, it will allow them to be deported without an immigration court hearing.
00:07:00.820 And, uh, you just listen for it cause it's coming.
00:07:04.520 There's some Democrat going, wait a minute.
00:07:06.360 We can't just deport the whole family.
00:07:07.660 Yes, we can deport the whole family and we should.
00:07:15.220 Extremism has got to be choked out.
00:07:20.020 You know, we are told that we've opened our borders and this is so bizarre.
00:07:25.160 We've opened our borders for a humanitarian crisis.
00:07:28.280 Let me ask you, what humanitarian crisis?
00:07:31.000 What is it?
00:07:32.140 Well, it's Syria, you know, Glenn.
00:07:34.380 Really?
00:07:34.800 Because we didn't have this kind of humanitarian crisis during World War II, where most of the world was on fire.
00:07:44.360 We didn't have this kind of refugee problem.
00:07:47.160 This is a humanitarian crisis.
00:07:50.860 We have to open our arms.
00:07:51.980 We have to open our borders.
00:07:53.880 We must.
00:07:54.680 Our banks, millions are fleeing war and poverty and persecution.
00:07:59.220 But I have eyes.
00:08:00.380 Do you have eyes?
00:08:01.640 I mean, I've seen the footage.
00:08:03.220 We see the lines at the border.
00:08:04.760 We see who's showing up and something just doesn't add up.
00:08:08.020 It's just not right.
00:08:09.720 First of all, 12 million refugees from Syria, Sudan, Ukraine.
00:08:15.640 12 million.
00:08:17.860 Okay.
00:08:18.580 All right.
00:08:19.360 Let's just think about this here for a second.
00:08:22.160 12 million refugees.
00:08:23.340 I mean, the United States took 400,000 refugees in during World War II.
00:08:30.600 400,000 refugees during World War II.
00:08:33.620 We have, what did we do?
00:08:35.140 8 million, 10 million here recently?
00:08:37.000 And they're not all from Syria and Sudan and Ukraine.
00:08:39.640 They're from China.
00:08:40.540 They're from Saudi Arabia.
00:08:42.480 They're from Afghanistan.
00:08:44.220 They're from Mexico.
00:08:45.900 They're from Guatemala.
00:08:47.540 They're from everywhere.
00:08:50.020 This is weird, isn't it?
00:08:51.580 And, you know, the other thing is, look who's coming.
00:08:55.800 It's not families.
00:08:57.060 It's not mothers clutching their children.
00:08:59.280 It's not the elderly or the infirm.
00:09:01.660 No, no, no.
00:09:03.100 Overwhelmingly, the refugees filling the streets of Berlin and Paris and London and now American cities are young men.
00:09:10.920 20-somethings.
00:09:11.960 Male.
00:09:12.640 Fit.
00:09:13.640 Angry.
00:09:14.720 And alone.
00:09:16.520 Hmm.
00:09:16.740 Aren't those the ones that should be defending their country?
00:09:22.800 Here's a question that nobody wants you to ask.
00:09:26.380 Where are their wives?
00:09:28.720 Where are their sisters?
00:09:29.980 Did they just leave their sisters behind?
00:09:32.380 Where are the daughters?
00:09:34.140 Did they leave their daughters behind?
00:09:35.760 What kind of man flees his own country, flees war, and leaves his mom behind?
00:09:45.440 What kind of man watches his own country burn and then turns and runs without the people he loves?
00:09:54.320 He turns and runs, not to fight, but to apply for asylum in a place that he wants to reshape in the image of the country he's fleeing from.
00:10:05.340 See, there's some questions we have to ask.
00:10:09.080 We're told that this is just like World War II.
00:10:12.220 I mean, these are desperate people, like the Jews of Europe, just begging for safety.
00:10:16.600 But the math doesn't work here.
00:10:18.740 After one of the worst genocides in human history, we took in 400,000 displaced people over four years.
00:10:26.140 And now we're told we have to accept millions, not thousands, millions of military-aged men from countries where the problem isn't persecution of Muslims,
00:10:37.600 but the persecution by Muslims.
00:10:41.540 Let me ask you, why is Syria in ruins today?
00:10:46.800 Yes, Assad is a dictator.
00:10:48.660 Yes, he was.
00:10:50.080 But also because ISIS and Islamist radicals took hold of that land and drove millions from their homes,
00:10:57.340 especially the Christians, the Druze, the Yazidis, the Jews, the secular Muslims.
00:11:03.500 Why is Sudan in chaos?
00:11:06.740 Islamist factions.
00:11:07.840 Why did Afghanistan collapse the second we left?
00:11:13.420 Because the Taliban had more spine than the National Army.
00:11:17.180 That we armed and trained for 20 years.
00:11:20.860 And what did the men of Afghanistan do?
00:11:23.380 They fled.
00:11:25.120 And now they demand asylum in Europe.
00:11:27.800 Leaving their daughters behind to be re-enslaved?
00:11:32.440 And if they hated Islam so much, or the Islamist rule, why are they now pushing for Sharia law in all of these countries?
00:11:46.060 I don't understand.
00:11:47.580 And by the way, if you come here, you should know that one of the most sacred ideas from Western civilization is that women and children go first.
00:12:00.180 And yet, somehow, in this global exodus, this new exodus, we're supposed to believe that the noble, the persecuted, and the pious
00:12:19.900 are the men who ran without their wives, or their daughters, or their sisters, or their children.
00:12:30.280 Huh.
00:12:31.240 Now, as bad as that is, I think it gets worse.
00:12:33.460 Not only do they come here after they have abandoned their duty to their country, and abandoned their duty to their wives and children,
00:12:42.800 they're demanding benefits and shelter and open borders.
00:12:48.920 And they bring with them the disdain for the nations that took them in.
00:12:53.220 They march in our own streets and chant against the Jews.
00:12:58.180 They burn our flags.
00:13:00.120 They demand Sharia law.
00:13:01.440 They mock the cultures that have offered them protection.
00:13:06.260 The unspoken contract that gratitude is a currency of refuge.
00:13:12.720 That's torn up.
00:13:15.280 I mean, I don't mind helping people, and I don't do it.
00:13:18.100 I don't help people so they say thank you.
00:13:20.000 It is nice.
00:13:20.900 It's not required.
00:13:22.480 It's not expected.
00:13:23.900 But it is nice.
00:13:26.260 But have you seen any gratitude?
00:13:29.020 Any.
00:13:29.400 No, I see the exact opposite.
00:13:33.340 When these young men come into our countries and they commit violence, just as one did in Boulder, Colorado,
00:13:40.120 an illegal Egyptian immigrant, firebomb Jewish protesters,
00:13:45.160 we're told now, yesterday, one of the Democrats said this has nothing to do with the border.
00:13:51.100 Really?
00:13:51.840 Really?
00:13:53.420 Wow.
00:13:54.060 Well, I guess, I mean, Biden did let him in in 2022, and then he overstayed his visa twice.
00:14:01.960 But that man yelling free Palestine as he throws fire into a crowd of American Jews,
00:14:10.480 and we're not supposed to tie this to an American crisis.
00:14:15.260 You see, he was here on a visa because he had applied for refugee status from Egypt?
00:14:25.980 A guy who hates Jews?
00:14:31.360 A Muslim who hates Jews from Egypt?
00:14:35.840 What are you fleeing exactly in Egypt?
00:14:38.620 Because I bet you're mighty popular there.
00:14:40.920 We're not asking the right questions, and compassion is a virtue until compassion becomes cowardice.
00:14:53.020 And that's where we are now.
00:14:54.420 There is no reason why any sovereign nation should tolerate imported extremists,
00:15:00.560 especially when the greatest threat to the native people of the countries these men are fleeing,
00:15:04.700 is from Islamic extremism.
00:15:08.380 They are the rot they say they are escaping.
00:15:12.600 And then they're planting that rot in our soil, the soil that gave them safety.
00:15:18.660 This is not immigration.
00:15:20.140 This is infiltration.
00:15:21.200 This is an invasion, and we need to stop lying to ourselves about that.
00:15:26.580 Okay, this is not 1945.
00:15:28.600 This is something entirely new.
00:15:30.880 This is something orchestrated, something very dangerous.
00:15:34.440 And if we can't find the will to tell the truth,
00:15:37.260 we can't draw the line between compassion and self-destruction,
00:15:40.440 we're not going to survive with anything.
00:15:43.100 We won't have anything left.
00:15:46.200 The truth is the West isn't being asked to shelter the world.
00:15:49.760 It's being asked to surrender.
00:15:53.980 And I'm not one ready to kneel at anybody's feet.
00:15:58.440 So I have some questions, some critical thinking questions.
00:16:05.000 Because remember, critical thinking is the immune system of a free society.
00:16:09.360 It's what allows individuals to separate truth from propaganda,
00:16:14.140 wisdom from the noise, and facts from manipulation.
00:16:17.520 And without it, you don't think.
00:16:19.800 People don't think.
00:16:20.900 They absorb.
00:16:22.300 They're shaped.
00:16:23.360 They don't choose.
00:16:24.520 They react.
00:16:25.300 They don't lead.
00:16:26.160 They follow.
00:16:27.240 That's why critical thinking is so important.
00:16:31.180 Critical thinking keeps us from being ruled by emotion.
00:16:34.600 Remember, you know, facts don't care about your feelings.
00:16:38.760 Well, why is it that everybody's just caring about their feelings?
00:16:42.700 Because they're not thinking critically anymore.
00:16:46.320 That's why they're ruled by feelings and emotion, peer pressure and fear.
00:16:51.780 Critical thinking, asking the critical questions, the right questions,
00:16:55.700 equips you to challenge power and hold the line when popular opinion is wrong.
00:17:03.760 And popular opinion is often wrong.
00:17:08.320 It guards liberty by preventing the slow creep of tyranny disguised as progress.
00:17:14.720 And that's usually where tyranny comes from, the creep of progress.
00:17:20.080 What causes fear?
00:17:29.560 Not knowing the truth.
00:17:35.740 If critical thinking is lost, lies spread unchecked, and they're repeated over and over again until they become truth.
00:17:42.360 Men can have babies.
00:17:43.280 Men can have babies.
00:17:44.160 Men can have babies.
00:17:45.440 Until somebody stands up and say, no, they can't.
00:17:49.220 No, they can't have babies.
00:17:51.320 Period.
00:17:53.260 But if you don't stand up, if you're not thinking, if you're just following, governments grow more authoritarian.
00:18:00.020 And there's more and more blind compliance.
00:18:02.940 And education becomes indoctrination.
00:18:05.180 Does any of this sound familiar like a road we're on?
00:18:07.900 Free speech begins to collapse under social pressure because no one will question the mob.
00:18:15.360 Evil disguises itself as virtue.
00:18:19.220 Because no one asks for proof anymore.
00:18:23.320 People feel, but they don't think.
00:18:25.200 They obey, but they don't understand.
00:18:27.520 They suffer, but they don't have any idea why.
00:18:30.560 A society without any kind of critical thinking is not a society.
00:18:36.340 It is nothing more than a herd of cattle.
00:18:38.900 But if critical thinking is found again, then truth rises again, even when it's uncomfortable.
00:18:48.680 Bad ideas die in the light of scrutiny and thinking and questioning.
00:18:53.780 And the powerful, once again, fear accountability.
00:18:57.620 There is no accountability because we're not asking critical questions.
00:19:03.080 Citizens, if you ask critical questions and you engage in critical thinking, citizens become participants again and not spectators to their own demise.
00:19:13.660 Debates begin again and would sharpen our minds rather than just destroy reputations.
00:19:19.780 And liberty has a fighting chance again because a thinking people is a free people.
00:19:25.760 So let me just take one minute to break, and then we're going to come back and ask some questions about what's really going on here.
00:19:33.480 What should we really be thinking about when we look at what's happening to our borders and the people who have arrived and we're taking in because we're so compassionate?
00:19:43.660 You know, it's really funny that I do this job for a living because this is not the job that I thought I was going to do.
00:20:03.340 I mean, I started out doing, you know, comedy on making fun of things and not being serious about anything.
00:20:09.460 Because I grew up in an alcoholic family, and I was the one that made everybody laugh and tried to make everybody look the other way.
00:20:17.060 And, you know, I don't like confrontation.
00:20:20.820 And here I am.
00:20:22.560 Look at this.
00:20:24.020 And in my own life, I avoid stuff like crazy.
00:20:26.840 I don't like confrontation.
00:20:28.840 And when it comes to, like, finances, I avoid, like the plague.
00:20:32.260 I don't want to look at that.
00:20:33.200 I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
00:20:35.000 And we can tell ourselves, well, it's complicated.
00:20:37.260 It's too complicated.
00:20:38.080 I don't have time or, you know, it's too depressing to think about right now.
00:20:42.360 But you have to think about it.
00:20:43.820 And here's what I've learned.
00:20:45.680 I'll do this later.
00:20:46.880 It never comes.
00:20:47.440 The later never comes.
00:20:48.580 It just gets more expensive and more troublesome.
00:20:50.840 And then the rates go up and the prices go up.
00:20:52.700 And if you're sitting on a mortgage that's bleeding you dry, later it could be costing you hundreds of dollars every single month.
00:20:59.280 American Financing is there to make it easy to stop that bleeding.
00:21:02.640 And they're a family-owned mortgage company, not some mega bank.

00:21:42.280 Or AmericanFinancing.net.
00:21:44.840 10 seconds.
00:21:45.280 Okay, so let's look at some of the questions that we should be asking.
00:22:01.860 I mean, first of all, when you look at the border crisis, when you look at what's happening in our countries, what do you see?
00:22:08.420 You see old women and young children?
00:22:12.260 No.
00:22:12.820 You see young men.
00:22:14.020 Men in their prime.
00:22:15.140 No wives.
00:22:15.760 No daughters.
00:22:16.340 No elders.
00:22:17.220 Just young men.
00:22:18.940 So the question is, the first question is, where are the women and the children?
00:22:22.720 Did they just leave them behind?
00:22:24.580 And if so, what does that say about the character of the men who are coming here?
00:22:28.740 And from there, the questions get a little harder and more important.
00:22:31.880 If these men are indeed fleeing Islamist extremism, why do they arrive in the West and fight for Islamist principles?
00:22:40.840 Let's look at Venezuelans.
00:22:43.420 If they really are escaping persecution and trouble and death cults in Venezuela, why do they come here and try to take over neighborhoods and threaten death and join cultish-like gangs?
00:23:01.280 The Islamists, why do they demand Sharia law?
00:23:04.460 Why do they attack Jewish citizens?
00:23:06.440 Why do they march through London and Paris and Denmark screaming, death to Israel?
00:23:11.740 If they're truly victims of radical Islam, why do they become the ambassadors to radical Islam the moment they resettle?
00:23:25.160 That doesn't make sense, does it?
00:23:27.560 And if they're seeking freedom, why do they wish to dismantle ours?
00:23:34.200 Here's another one.
00:23:35.320 Why are nearly all Western nations, from Canada to Germany to the United States, responding exactly the same way?
00:23:42.560 Same immigration policies, same laws, same slogans, same censorship, same framing in the media.
00:23:49.020 In some cases, word for word in the laws and the headlines.
00:23:53.880 If this isn't coordinated, how do you explain that?
00:23:57.900 More in a minute.
00:23:58.660 This is Glenn Beck.
00:24:01.180 If you own a home, there's a good chance you've got a checklist of projects that you'll get to someday.
00:24:07.900 You know, one of these days I'm going to get to that.
00:24:09.500 Maybe it's the guest room, maybe it's the garage, maybe it's the gutters.
00:24:12.160 But let me tell you, gutters don't belong on the, I got to get around to that someday list.
00:24:17.360 Because when they fail, they just don't make a mess.
00:24:20.040 They can wreck your roof, your siding, your foundation.
00:24:22.420 I have, up at the ranch, I put these, we have barnwood siding on the side of the ranch.
00:24:28.540 And one of the gutters went, because it was all stuffed up.
00:24:33.180 I wasn't paying attention.
00:24:34.380 I wasn't around.
00:24:35.560 And I get there and all of this, the siding is just destroyed.
00:24:40.080 Last summer I get up there and it's all destroyed.
00:24:43.040 Why?
00:24:43.580 Because I didn't do anything with the gutters.
00:24:45.240 When they fail, they wreck everything.
00:24:48.660 Leaf filter can fix that problem before it starts.
00:24:51.420 They're America's number one gutter protection company for a reason.

00:25:22.040 You know, so I've issued this question to the Anti-Defamation League every day since the shooting in Colorado.
00:25:45.260 I was called a danger, an extremist, a radical, strangely an anti-Semite for warning the Jews of America, and anybody who likes Jews,
00:25:58.440 that we should probably stand up and stop the road that we're going on because Marxism and radicalism and anti-Semitism, they always seem to go, you know, hand in hand.
00:26:15.040 When you're against the West, when you're against the Western values, when you're claiming that America is an evil place, usually Israel is an evil place too, and anti-Semitism creeps in.
00:26:28.600 And I warned that we would see the exact kind of hatreds that we saw on the streets in Germany and Europe in the 1930s.
00:26:36.660 We'd see them here on the streets of America.
00:26:38.700 And the Anti-Defamation League said that I was a fearmonger and a hater and an anti-Semite.
00:26:44.720 And I've asked every day, and I'm still waiting for a question, Anti-Defamation League.
00:26:49.260 Tell me, you want to retract that?
00:26:52.560 Do you want to say, when I said, you have to truly remember.
00:26:57.760 I mean, never forget, right?
00:26:59.160 To truly remember, and the reason why you don't forget is you don't say, I always want to remember the oven doors closing.
00:27:08.580 You say, I want to remember so I can remember the seeds when they were planted and what watered those seeds so I can pull that up from the root the minute it sprouts.
00:27:20.960 Never forget doesn't mean let's remember the Holocaust.
00:27:24.160 It means let's remember what leads to the Holocaust so we can stop it.
00:27:29.880 But somehow or another, that was too radical for the Anti-Defamation League.
00:27:33.940 What do you say about it now?
00:27:35.720 What do you say about it now that it's here on our streets?
00:27:38.940 I'd just like to know.
00:27:40.640 Am I still a crazy extremist that hates Jews somehow or another?
00:27:47.040 Here's the questions that we have to ask.
00:27:49.060 If we are going to solve anything, we have to start using critical thinking again.
00:27:54.960 A, why are so few women and children among the refugee populations that are coming into all of our countries?
00:28:02.140 What ideologies do these young men have when they're coming into our country?
00:28:06.260 And why are they not being vetted or challenged?
00:28:08.960 Why does no one seem to care?
00:28:11.140 Why do refugees from Islamist regimes hold so many anti-Semitic or anti-Western beliefs when they get here?
00:28:21.940 And why do they not change when they're in their host country?
00:28:26.000 Why are Western media outlets using nearly identical language to describe all of these events?
00:28:34.280 Why do they use almost exactly the same language and tactics to dismantle anyone like me who questions these events?
00:28:44.080 And who's coordinating that narrative?
00:28:46.140 Because, gosh, I just don't think that it's happening almost word for word in laws and media reports exactly the same in 40 different languages.
00:28:57.240 It's weird.
00:28:58.880 Is there any relationship, any relationship at all, with the rise of anti-Semitism in any of this?
00:29:07.700 Because that's a weird one.
00:29:21.160 I can't question in a culture that holds free speech up as one of the highest ideals, but in a law-abiding society and one where we have blind justice or supposed to have, the extremist behaviors, they're not punished, but me questioning, I am.
00:29:45.640 That's weird.
00:29:46.840 Can anybody explain that one?
00:29:48.260 Why are the same open border policies being adopted simultaneously across every Western nation, regardless of party leadership?
00:29:57.400 Why is that happening?
00:29:59.080 If the refugees claim persecution, why do they persecute others once they arrive, particularly the Jews, the Christians, women, and gays?
00:30:10.440 Let me ask you this when you're speaking of women.
00:30:12.480 Listen, the views of these guys and what they have, their view of women, how does that fit in a liberal society?
00:30:22.120 How does a society who says they care about women dismiss and ignore the views of the men who literally look at women like something they can rape and do?
00:30:39.360 Let me ask you this, what would the world look like if these millions of young men stayed behind to fight for their countries instead of abandoning them and apparently their mothers and their wives and their children, their sisters?
00:30:53.860 Can I ask you this question, is compassion being manipulated as a weapon against Western stability?
00:31:03.680 I mean, don't you think these questions should be asked and then answered?
00:31:11.020 They do seem like good questions.
00:31:14.580 Questions that maybe should be asked and answered before you import many people who have very questionable answers to them.
00:31:21.840 But I guess that implies that your goal is to protect Jews.
00:31:32.120 Your goal is to protect innocent people.
00:31:35.540 I was going to say, Jews, I'd like to protect all people.
00:31:39.140 Yeah, if your goal is not to protect innocent people, if your goal is instead seemingly to wipe Jews off the planet, which again is a pretty significant chunk of the Democratic Party at this point.
00:31:58.340 I can give you the names of the representatives when we said them many, many times.
00:32:01.960 These are the people that were cheering on the pro-Palestinian movement on October 8th.
00:32:09.080 Now, look, if you wanted to, if you watched that and were horrified by October 7th and talked about it over and over again, and then, I don't know, in December, you were like, you know, as much as you have to do something here if you're Israel, I'm a little concerned about how this is playing out.
00:32:28.400 There's some sympathy you could have with an argument.
00:32:30.560 You could have an argument about, hey, I feel really bad for the people in Gaza who had nothing to do with this and are suffering right now.
00:32:38.880 Of course, that's an idea you could talk about.
00:32:42.160 I do.
00:32:42.840 Yeah, but you can't, you don't get any sympathy for that argument when you were trying to make it on October 8th before the military even went in.
00:32:52.500 When you were protesting and acting like you were just criticizing Israel the day after they watched a thousand plus of their people murdered and raped for no reason whatsoever.
00:33:08.460 That's not a day to jump into the movement on the pro-Palestinian side.
00:33:12.160 I'm sorry.
00:33:12.560 So let me, let me give you this, Stu.
00:33:16.720 You just tell me how this, just tell me how this ends.
00:33:20.140 If you look at the MI5 terror watch list in England, okay, Great Britain, on MI5's terror watch list, there are 43,000 individuals, okay?
00:33:36.780 90% of them are jihadis.
00:33:43.240 90% of the 43,000 people that are on the terror watch list are jihadis.
00:33:50.880 Now let's, let's think about this for a second.
00:33:54.020 Is that a problem if you're Great Britain?
00:33:56.760 Well, 40,000, well, 40,000 people is larger than the entire size of Hamas on April 7th.
00:34:07.400 40,000 is larger than the entire size of the ISIS army that launched the attack on Iraq.
00:34:15.800 40,000 is half the size of the British army.
00:34:20.280 I don't know.
00:34:22.760 I think I have a, I think I'd have a problem if I were English.
00:34:25.640 And you know what?
00:34:26.500 That number is bigger here.
00:34:31.480 Uh, that, that, that just seems to be, I don't know, a little disturbing.
00:34:38.240 What does that tell you about the, use critical thinking.
00:34:43.040 If it's half the size of the British army, if they're on the streets, if they're already organized,
00:34:49.020 if there's already no go zones, if the government is already afraid of them,
00:34:54.360 if they're losing control of the streets, if politicians are turning a blind eye to the rape of their own population,
00:35:04.380 what does that tell you about the shape Great Britain is going to be in, in a very short period of time?
00:35:13.840 And they're still letting people in, by the way.
00:35:16.000 Let me give you this.
00:35:18.180 Does this sound unreasonable to you, Stu?
00:35:20.780 If I came up with 10 points on immigration that has to be done, that has to be done right now.
00:35:27.700 Let's say I'm in Great Britain or I'm in, I don't know, I'm in the Netherlands where, you know,
00:35:33.760 the population is very small and millions of people have come in.
00:35:37.500 If I said, look, we have to do these 10 things, we have to halt asylum admissions right now because we don't even know who's in here.
00:35:46.060 We have to deploy our military at our borders so no one can come in without authorization.
00:35:52.280 We have to close the asylum centers that are now welcoming people in as reception centers and giving everybody things that they can live on and giving them hotels and everything else.
00:36:11.140 We have to stop the family reunification thing.
00:36:15.560 Look, if you're a guy in 20 and now you say, I want my family here.
00:36:21.000 No, we cannot take any more because we don't know even who everybody is.
00:36:25.940 If you started saying, you know what, this particular group in, let's say you're in Europe, Syrians, this is a very dangerous group and they are now coming in and causing real problems.
00:36:44.000 We have to deport the Syrian nationals, okay?
00:36:48.320 Or at least we have to say one strike policy.
00:36:51.720 You get in trouble once and you're out.
00:36:55.940 We're going to evict you from the, you know, five-star hotels and the food that we've given you because you've been here now for a while and you don't seem to be assimilating.
00:37:05.080 You don't seem to be doing anything but taking.
00:37:07.820 We're going to, we're not going to build any new facilities.
00:37:10.660 We're going to evict you from these.
00:37:13.340 We're going to revoke any national or dual nationality.
00:37:18.100 If you're convicted of a serious crime, you lose the dual nationality.
00:37:25.940 We're also going to withdraw from any international convention that says we have to do this.
00:37:33.440 And then we want some legal reforms here to facilitate the deportations.
00:37:38.000 We're not going to get bogged down.
00:37:39.260 We have taken millions of people in.
00:37:41.660 Crime is out of control.
00:37:42.760 We have lost control of our streets.
00:37:45.100 And we need the court system to facilitate the deportations of people who are criminals.
00:37:54.420 Do you think any of those are reasonable?
00:37:59.080 Sure.
00:37:59.780 There's some common sense in many of them, yeah.
00:38:03.900 Okay.
00:38:04.160 So this is what Geert Wielder's, the leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, he introduced the 10-point immigration plan.
00:38:12.800 And this has set the country on fire.
00:38:16.780 And I don't think necessarily with the regular folk, maybe it does, but it set the country on fire.
00:38:23.440 All, everybody, I mean, he has withdrawn.
00:38:25.720 His party was the largest part of the ruling coalition.
00:38:31.240 And they just pulled out because everybody else said, nope, we're not doing any of those.
00:38:35.940 What do you mean you're not doing any of those?
00:38:37.400 Have you seen the streets?
00:38:40.300 And they say that Geert, because it's an extreme position.
00:38:44.520 No, no.
00:38:45.620 There's a difference between common sense.
00:38:47.760 And the longer you reject common sense, the more extreme the answer will be.
00:38:55.080 There's a difference between extremism and common sense.
00:38:58.780 And the only reason why common sense turns into extremism is because you continually deny common sense.
00:39:06.360 And you say that anybody who believes in common sense is an extremist.
00:39:11.000 And then what happens?
00:39:12.220 Because those people have been isolated and been told all of your values are evil.
00:39:18.180 When those values are the values that built the nation, then you have unscrupulous people stand up who don't have the nation's best interest,
00:39:30.120 who don't have freedom, as we all like to enjoy, at the top of their list of things.
00:39:37.740 They come and say, you know what?
00:39:39.300 You're not.
00:39:39.900 You're not wrong.
00:39:41.060 You're not wrong.
00:39:41.940 I'm with you.
00:39:43.180 But they add a few other things that are extreme.
00:39:48.180 That's how a country grows extremists.
00:39:52.620 And unless we can ask questions, not be shouted down, not be in Europe, not be thrown in jail for asking questions or questioning the authority or saying,
00:40:06.100 wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense.
00:40:08.420 You're going to grow extremists and Gert wielders will be the least of your problems.
00:40:15.360 You will pine for the days when you thought Gert wielders was your biggest problem.
00:40:20.420 All right, back in just a minute.
00:40:23.420 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:40:25.900 It's Legacy Box.
00:40:27.020 You know, there's some memories that deserve more than just a box in the attic.
00:40:30.140 And I'm talking about the old tapes, the films, the photos that tell your family's story, the ones that only exist in that one copy.
00:40:38.200 And you know the ones, the clip of your kids running through the sprinkler, your parents' wedding day, your grandpa's voice on a scratchy VHS, laughing about something you can't quite make out anymore.
00:40:48.600 These aren't just memories, these are treasures.
00:40:51.540 This is your family history, and they are fading.

00:41:59.740 Well, here's something that will keep you up tonight.
00:42:01.740 When you were sleeping, someone could have started the process of legally stealing your home.
00:42:07.480 No breaking and entering, no alarms going off, just paperwork and a computer.
00:42:12.080 In 2025, AI has turned home theft into a white-collar crime.
00:42:16.100 And the mechanics are frighteningly simple and similar in episode after episode of this.
00:42:23.400 The thieves forge your signature on transfer documents.
00:42:26.480 They create fake notary stamps that look completely real.
00:42:29.300 They file these bogus papers for the county for pocket change.
00:42:34.500 Your home title quietly moves from your name to theirs.
00:42:38.860 And the first sign of trouble usually comes months later.
00:42:41.340 A foreclosure notice or a credit alert or, you know, anything that is going to be papers in the mail.
00:42:48.520 Hey, what's going on?
00:42:49.160 How come you haven't paid your loan?
00:42:50.360 Well, criminals have taken out these loans using your home as collateral.
00:42:53.880 You didn't take out the loans.
00:42:54.920 You don't have the money.
00:42:55.700 The money's vanished and now you're left fighting to prove you actually own your own home.
00:43:01.280 This is your action plan.

00:43:28.440 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:43:30.580 I've been visualizing my match all week.
00:43:33.120 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:43:39.140 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.
00:43:44.820 Everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:43:49.260 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:43:52.460 But you got there on time.
00:43:54.600 Intact Insurance.
00:43:55.760 Your auto service ace.
00:43:57.220 Certain conditions apply.
00:43:58.160 Last night I get a call late at night from my wife.
00:44:14.860 I'm in West Palm and she's back home and one of our children's friends was suicidal and alone and she had to go out in the middle of the night and just check.
00:44:29.080 And it was terrifying.
00:44:30.700 Please, please, if you have young kids, read Jonathan Haidt.
00:44:35.040 Do not give your kids social media, phones, and everything else.
00:44:40.060 Don't do it.
00:44:41.960 Please.
00:44:42.620 It's a mistake I think we all made.
00:44:45.380 Learn from our mistakes.
00:44:46.880 Don't give your kids phones.
00:44:48.340 Let me tell you about our spotlight sponsors, MyPatriotSupply.
00:44:53.740 The grid is now more fragile than everybody knows.
00:44:58.140 You know, it's beyond one bad storm, one down transformer, one attack on the right server farm.
00:45:04.820 That one would really do some damage.
00:45:06.520 Power will be gone and power could be gone all across the region, maybe for an hour, maybe for days, maybe for even longer.
00:45:13.700 And you're left in the dark with a melting freezer and dead batteries and no way to charge your phone, no idea when it's coming back, nothing.
00:45:20.940 May I suggest you get the GridDoctor 3300 from MyPatriotSupply.
00:45:24.960 It's a powerhouse backup system, 3300 watts of quiet, portable energy, enough to keep your fridge going, your lights on, phones charging, even some appliances running.
00:45:34.960 And it's all solar powered, so when the grid goes down, you don't.
00:45:38.500 It comes ready to use.
00:45:39.820 No gas, no fumes, no maintenance, just reliable, clean energy when you need it most.

00:46:37.480 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:46:38.680 Down the road where shadows hide
00:46:41.300 Feel the dark on every side
00:46:43.900 Stand your ground when times get dark
00:46:46.540 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire
00:46:49.400 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:46:55.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:47:02.180 So where is all of this extremism coming from?
00:47:06.200 Usual suspects.
00:47:07.360 There is a new report out about the usual suspects.
00:47:13.920 Steve Jobs, former wife.
00:47:17.820 Some real Democrat heavyweights, including Eric Schmidt
00:47:23.360 and the Tides Foundation
00:47:25.080 that are calling the black liberation activists
00:47:32.840 that called the Jewish Museum shooting
00:47:36.580 morally righteous.
00:47:37.660 They're funding them and so much more.
00:47:40.900 And we want to talk about that.
00:47:42.240 And why is no one pointing this out?
00:47:44.660 Do we not care about these things anymore?
00:47:47.760 We'll do that in 60 seconds.
00:47:49.360 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:47:51.020 It's Patriot Mobile.
00:47:51.820 If you ever felt like you were funding the enemy,
00:47:54.620 well, I mean, you are.
00:47:55.700 Every time you pay your phone bill,
00:47:56.940 some corporate giant takes a cut
00:47:58.640 and then funnels it straight into causes
00:48:00.740 that you spend your whole life fighting against.
00:48:04.520 It's like paying somebody to rearrange your furniture
00:48:06.880 in the middle of the night
00:48:07.700 and you get up every night and you stub your toe
00:48:09.260 and it's like, what is happening?
00:48:10.820 You're paying them to do that.
00:48:12.980 With Patriot Mobile, this all stops.
00:48:15.440 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider,
00:48:17.980 which doesn't mean they stay out of politics.
00:48:19.920 In fact, it means the opposite.
00:48:21.640 They stand for the causes that you and I both believe in.
00:48:24.720 Life, liberty, and the protection of the Constitution,
00:48:27.760 first responders, veterans, unborn children, all of it.
00:48:32.040 They're active and they're very effective
00:48:34.120 in turning your money into positive change
00:48:36.900 and the money they've earned with a great service.
00:48:39.500 The service is great at Patriot Mobile
00:48:41.300 and they're on the same cell towers as the big guys.
00:48:43.560 So you don't sacrifice the coverage.
00:48:45.240 You don't sacrifice the qualities.
00:48:46.600 You just stop sacrificing your values and your principles,
00:48:50.460 which means every month when that bill comes due,
00:48:52.700 you know your money is doing good.
00:48:55.080 Make the switch today.

00:49:11.700 Okay.
00:49:13.340 So let me tell you,
00:49:15.400 this is what happens when powerful people write checks
00:49:18.560 and the rest of us stay silent.
00:49:21.760 Earlier this week,
00:49:22.820 a report came out quietly, of course,
00:49:24.960 that Lorene Powell Jobs,
00:49:28.040 Eric Schmidt,
00:49:29.180 and the Tides Foundation
00:49:30.500 has given millions of dollars
00:49:32.700 to a man who openly praised
00:49:35.240 the assassination of two Israeli diplomats
00:49:37.740 in Washington, D.C.,
00:49:38.740 he called that shooting morally righteous,
00:49:42.260 not tragic,
00:49:43.040 not wrong,
00:49:44.020 not even controversial,
00:49:45.900 morally righteous.
00:49:47.380 Now, the people giving this man money
00:49:53.660 are not nobodies.
00:49:55.160 They're not on the fringe.
00:49:56.160 It's not some anarchist
00:49:57.500 with a megaphone in a parking lot in Oregon.
00:49:59.960 This is Camus Franklin.
00:50:04.240 He's the head of a nonprofit
00:50:05.480 called Community Movement Builders,
00:50:08.800 and the work is being funded
00:50:10.600 by some of the richest people
00:50:12.140 in Silicon Valley
00:50:13.180 and the Democratic donor class.
00:50:15.600 Now, I just want you to remember,
00:50:17.900 when I give you the name Jobs,
00:50:21.040 what do you think of?
00:50:22.220 Steve Jobs,
00:50:23.120 what did he do?
00:50:24.180 Silicon Valley,
00:50:25.580 tech.
00:50:26.360 When I talk to you about Eric Schmidt,
00:50:28.920 what does he do?
00:50:30.680 AI.
00:50:33.200 So these people are now
00:50:35.200 the former CEO of Google,
00:50:37.480 plus the Arabella Network,
00:50:39.180 we know that,
00:50:39.760 the Tides Foundation,
00:50:41.140 all Soros-backed organizations.
00:50:44.580 When they put their money,
00:50:48.060 nearly $2 million in one year,
00:50:50.900 went to this guy's group,
00:50:52.740 a group that calls Israeli existence
00:50:55.280 the result of a war crime
00:50:57.460 who has labeled police
00:50:59.860 as killer pigs
00:51:01.380 and praises black separatists
00:51:03.880 convicted of murdering cops.
00:51:06.060 When they send their money
00:51:07.940 to that guy
00:51:09.020 and we say nothing,
00:51:11.280 we have a real problem
00:51:12.360 because what else are they doing
00:51:13.620 to our tech?
00:51:14.540 What else are they writing
00:51:15.540 into the algorithms?
00:51:17.540 Who else is involved?
00:51:18.740 These are just big names
00:51:19.760 that are openly doing it,
00:51:21.120 and they don't seem
00:51:22.140 to have a problem.
00:51:22.760 What about all the other people
00:51:24.340 in Silicon Valley?
00:51:26.620 And now that group,
00:51:27.600 that ideology,
00:51:28.740 is being funded
00:51:29.700 with institutional backing
00:51:31.540 and tax-deductible status.
00:51:33.760 These are people
00:51:34.600 that are now writing
00:51:35.580 the curriculum for your kids,
00:51:37.500 influencing the elections,
00:51:39.360 hosting panels on AI
00:51:41.660 and equity and justice
00:51:43.440 at all of the universities.
00:51:45.040 Now, I hate this.
00:51:48.980 I really do.
00:51:49.620 I hate this.
00:51:50.640 And I'm not going
00:51:51.380 to where you think
00:51:51.960 I'm going on this,
00:51:52.700 but if this were a conservative
00:51:53.880 or Republican,
00:51:55.040 a donor group
00:51:56.320 that funded a group
00:51:57.860 that said something
00:51:58.680 half as inflammatory as this,
00:52:00.780 even vaguely racist
00:52:02.740 or violent,
00:52:03.820 what would the media do?
00:52:06.400 Okay?
00:52:06.660 They would nuke
00:52:07.500 their reputations
00:52:08.940 from orbit.
00:52:10.360 They would cancel
00:52:11.140 the companies.
00:52:11.800 They would demand
00:52:12.520 congressional hearings.
00:52:13.760 And you know what?
00:52:16.460 That is about the level
00:52:17.960 of where it should be.
00:52:19.880 If you were talking
00:52:21.280 about killing cops,
00:52:25.100 praising people,
00:52:26.860 shooting others
00:52:27.860 in the street
00:52:28.580 because they're Jewish
00:52:29.820 and saying it's morally,
00:52:32.160 what did he say?
00:52:32.940 Morally justified?
00:52:36.480 Morally righteous.
00:52:38.340 If you could say
00:52:39.260 morally righteous,
00:52:41.260 you know,
00:52:42.200 I think we should.
00:52:43.320 We should question you,
00:52:45.060 your business,
00:52:46.420 everything else.
00:52:47.620 And I don't mean
00:52:48.180 as a government.
00:52:48.940 I mean as people.
00:52:51.120 Okay?
00:52:54.420 But what happens
00:52:55.420 if the same poison
00:52:56.620 comes from the approved side?
00:52:59.420 Nothing.
00:52:59.980 Silence.
00:53:01.000 Sometimes applause.
00:53:03.220 Sometimes more donations.
00:53:05.180 Franklin's group
00:53:08.000 defended the killing
00:53:09.280 of Israeli civilians.
00:53:14.920 Hmm.
00:53:15.880 Now they praised
00:53:17.140 the killing
00:53:17.660 of Israeli civilians
00:53:18.780 in the same breath
00:53:20.160 they praised
00:53:20.820 Qasem Soleimani,
00:53:22.840 the Iranian general
00:53:24.080 responsible for the deaths
00:53:25.280 of countless U.S. troops.
00:53:27.340 They called him
00:53:28.200 simply a resister,
00:53:30.140 a man who strengthened
00:53:31.440 Hezbollah.
00:53:32.300 If you don't know
00:53:33.920 what Hezbollah is,
00:53:36.080 you're a moron.
00:53:38.920 You're no,
00:53:39.440 you're dangerous.
00:53:40.680 You are dangerous.
00:53:43.660 How did we get here?
00:53:45.920 How is this suddenly
00:53:47.120 acceptable in our society?
00:53:52.600 More importantly,
00:53:53.700 how is it that some
00:53:54.940 of the most important
00:53:56.140 and powerful figures
00:53:57.260 in tech and media
00:53:58.640 are funding it?
00:54:02.360 You know,
00:54:03.040 it's really hard
00:54:03.960 to hide behind
00:54:05.180 the word justice
00:54:06.140 when you cheer
00:54:06.840 for murder.
00:54:08.680 But they don't see
00:54:09.600 it as murder.
00:54:11.000 They see it as
00:54:12.180 morally justified.
00:54:15.100 That guy was running
00:54:16.460 an insurance company
00:54:17.680 and that insurance company
00:54:19.080 was probably denying
00:54:20.820 people some claims
00:54:22.020 so we can gun him
00:54:23.100 down in the streets.
00:54:24.140 You can't talk
00:54:26.260 about justice
00:54:27.500 if you're cheering
00:54:28.380 that on.
00:54:28.880 You can't talk
00:54:29.460 about unity
00:54:30.200 when you're bankrolling
00:54:31.680 separatists.
00:54:33.180 You can't scream
00:54:34.340 fascism
00:54:35.220 and then fun
00:54:36.060 a man who wants
00:54:36.920 racial enclaves,
00:54:38.820 state control
00:54:39.600 of speech,
00:54:40.560 or the abolition
00:54:42.140 of the nuclear family.
00:54:45.200 Don't talk to me
00:54:45.860 about totalitarian.
00:54:46.820 You don't even know
00:54:47.400 what it means.
00:54:51.420 That's not progress.
00:54:52.580 That's not equity.
00:54:54.740 It's not even politics.
00:54:57.120 This is the
00:54:58.040 intentional destabilization
00:54:59.740 of a country
00:55:01.240 using the language
00:55:02.280 of compassion
00:55:03.220 to smuggle in
00:55:04.700 extremism.
00:55:06.500 That's kind of
00:55:07.300 the theme of today's show.
00:55:08.980 Extremism.
00:55:09.620 How did we get here?
00:55:10.880 Why are we tolerating
00:55:12.040 what's happening
00:55:12.640 in our own streets?
00:55:15.400 The question is
00:55:16.460 not why is this happening.
00:55:19.540 The question really is
00:55:21.060 at this point
00:55:21.580 why are we letting
00:55:23.000 it happen?
00:55:26.020 Why are we,
00:55:27.060 the citizen,
00:55:28.120 the journalist,
00:55:28.800 the lawmaker,
00:55:29.700 still quiet
00:55:30.740 about all of this?
00:55:32.920 Why is the
00:55:33.960 White House
00:55:34.600 silent when a top
00:55:35.680 Democratic donor
00:55:36.440 gives money to a group
00:55:37.840 that calls Hamas'
00:55:38.900 attack
00:55:39.260 solidarity?
00:55:40.120 Why is the
00:55:42.340 Department of Justice
00:55:43.260 looking the other way
00:55:44.100 when the tax-exempt
00:55:45.780 organizations
00:55:46.620 support racial
00:55:48.540 separatism
00:55:49.500 and endorse
00:55:50.580 convicted cop
00:55:51.520 killers as role
00:55:52.780 models?
00:55:53.940 Should they play
00:55:54.920 a role?
00:55:56.620 And here's the
00:55:57.620 biggest
00:55:58.040 question
00:55:59.700 really of all.
00:56:01.060 What happens
00:56:01.480 to a civilization
00:56:02.280 who forgets
00:56:03.920 to say,
00:56:04.440 no,
00:56:05.540 no,
00:56:06.220 no,
00:56:06.380 no,
00:56:06.880 it's not righteous
00:56:09.780 to murder civilians.
00:56:10.900 No,
00:56:11.400 it's not justice
00:56:12.140 to fund
00:56:12.620 hate
00:56:13.100 with billionaire
00:56:13.840 checks.
00:56:14.840 No,
00:56:15.140 it's not brave
00:56:16.040 to remain silent
00:56:17.080 when cancer
00:56:17.780 is growing.
00:56:21.200 What happens
00:56:21.940 to that civilization?
00:56:23.480 Because this is not
00:56:24.580 a partisan issue,
00:56:25.320 and I know,
00:56:25.840 you know,
00:56:26.120 this is the worst
00:56:26.720 part of my job,
00:56:28.140 I think,
00:56:29.200 is I am very
00:56:29.940 opinionated,
00:56:30.620 obviously,
00:56:31.060 if you've listened
00:56:31.520 to me.
00:56:31.820 And I get
00:56:34.640 hammered
00:56:36.040 from all sides.
00:56:36.960 You know,
00:56:37.160 I always wish
00:56:38.100 on Hannity
00:56:38.680 yesterday,
00:56:39.880 and we were
00:56:41.360 talking to a group,
00:56:42.320 and he said,
00:56:43.120 you know,
00:56:43.380 I'm glad to be
00:56:44.420 here with Glenn
00:56:44.920 Beck,
00:56:45.220 who,
00:56:45.880 you know,
00:56:46.180 in 2016,
00:56:46.920 gave me hell
00:56:48.920 for supporting
00:56:49.580 Donald Trump.
00:56:50.660 And I'm like,
00:56:52.060 yeah,
00:56:52.300 I did,
00:56:52.720 and I was wrong,
00:56:53.980 and I admitted it.
00:56:55.340 But I'm not
00:56:58.940 a partisan guy.
00:57:00.140 I don't care
00:57:01.100 what the label is.
00:57:02.980 I look for
00:57:04.140 what is right
00:57:04.900 and wrong,
00:57:05.560 and when somebody
00:57:07.060 like Donald Trump
00:57:07.800 did not have
00:57:08.980 the record,
00:57:10.200 I wasn't willing
00:57:11.300 to trust,
00:57:12.040 and maybe that's
00:57:12.640 a flaw in me,
00:57:14.080 but I wasn't
00:57:15.020 willing to trust.
00:57:16.100 I'm sorry.
00:57:17.820 I am a little
00:57:18.840 like Doubting Thomas.
00:57:20.080 I need to put
00:57:20.560 my finger there.
00:57:21.840 I need to see it,
00:57:23.100 but when I saw it,
00:57:24.140 I'm there.
00:57:26.780 Okay.
00:57:29.360 I'm hated
00:57:30.040 by everybody.
00:57:30.660 I have not
00:57:31.240 had a president
00:57:31.900 in my lifetime
00:57:32.840 that liked me,
00:57:33.800 because generally
00:57:34.500 I don't like
00:57:35.100 the presidents.
00:57:38.380 I don't like
00:57:39.300 either party,
00:57:40.380 and yet
00:57:42.340 everything I say
00:57:43.500 is always
00:57:44.600 couched as
00:57:45.640 I'm just a shill
00:57:46.780 for the Republicans
00:57:47.660 or whatever.
00:57:48.680 You know what I am?
00:57:49.620 I'm not even a shill.
00:57:50.760 You know what I am
00:57:51.660 a fan of?
00:57:52.480 You know what I am
00:57:53.100 a supporter of?
00:57:54.540 The rule of law
00:57:55.780 and the Constitution
00:57:56.760 and the Declaration
00:57:57.460 of Independence,
00:57:58.460 and I actually mean that.
00:57:59.880 I can quote those documents.
00:58:01.780 Most people in politics
00:58:03.080 who say that,
00:58:03.700 they've never read
00:58:04.400 the damn thing.
00:58:09.300 It's not a partisan issue.
00:58:11.200 This is all about
00:58:11.880 right and wrong.
00:58:13.280 It's not left or right.
00:58:15.760 And the longer
00:58:16.600 we pretend otherwise,
00:58:18.080 the faster we're going
00:58:19.060 to descend into something
00:58:20.040 we will not recognize
00:58:21.800 and may not survive.
00:58:26.260 We've got to wake up
00:58:27.580 before we lose
00:58:28.360 our ability
00:58:29.000 and our right
00:58:30.560 to speak.
00:58:31.440 So let me ask you
00:58:37.940 some questions
00:58:38.560 because
00:58:39.240 that's the other thing
00:58:40.480 about today's show
00:58:41.540 is I just want to ask
00:58:42.640 critical thinking questions.
00:58:45.300 Why are the ultra-wealthy
00:58:46.620 elites and tech billionaires
00:58:47.780 funding organizations
00:58:48.880 that openly support
00:58:50.200 political violence
00:58:51.300 and endorse the killing
00:58:52.340 of diplomats?
00:58:53.700 Shouldn't that be
00:58:54.460 the number one question
00:58:55.600 out of every press
00:58:57.040 person's mouth
00:58:57.960 if you run in
00:58:58.940 to Eric Schmidt?
00:59:01.120 If you run into
00:59:02.180 Mrs. Jobs,
00:59:03.640 the Tides Foundation,
00:59:05.320 why do you support
00:59:06.860 political violence
00:59:08.200 and endorse the killing
00:59:09.760 of diplomats
00:59:10.820 on our streets?
00:59:15.020 Eric Schmidt,
00:59:17.220 Laureen Powell Jobs,
00:59:18.600 Tides Foundation,
00:59:20.080 what do you believe
00:59:20.940 you're achieving
00:59:21.660 by bankrolling
00:59:22.780 community movement builders?
00:59:24.720 What is it
00:59:25.360 that you love about them?
00:59:26.620 Are you aware
00:59:28.080 of their rhetoric?
00:59:29.780 Are you just
00:59:30.160 turning a blind eye
00:59:31.640 because the ends
00:59:32.320 justify the means?
00:59:33.320 That's really
00:59:34.060 an important question.
00:59:35.460 Will somebody
00:59:36.220 ask it or answer it?
00:59:38.740 What accountability
00:59:39.420 exists for the
00:59:40.840 philanthropies
00:59:42.460 that fund groups
00:59:43.900 promoting violence
00:59:44.940 or separatism?
00:59:45.940 Is there any
00:59:46.940 accountability?
00:59:47.800 Because I knew
00:59:48.180 there would be with me.
00:59:52.260 Why does the
00:59:53.300 community movement
00:59:54.060 builders call
00:59:55.160 murder of diplomats
00:59:56.180 morally righteous?
00:59:57.920 And how does that
00:59:59.220 square with broader
01:00:00.560 liberal or humanitarian
01:00:01.760 values?
01:00:04.240 If your goals
01:00:05.380 are liberation
01:00:07.280 and justice,
01:00:08.380 why do you glorify
01:00:10.220 terrorist leaders
01:00:11.080 and groups that
01:00:12.260 have committed
01:00:12.680 atrocities?
01:00:15.640 What does it mean
01:00:16.780 for a U.S.-based
01:00:17.680 nonprofit to call
01:00:18.760 for liberated zones
01:00:20.260 under separate
01:00:21.380 racial governance?
01:00:22.580 Is this inclusion
01:00:24.300 or is it segregation
01:00:25.520 under just a
01:00:26.460 different name?
01:00:27.960 If an ideology
01:00:28.920 calls for
01:00:29.940 collective racial
01:00:31.400 control of resources
01:00:32.780 and defines police
01:00:34.320 as killer pigs,
01:00:36.100 is that promoting
01:00:37.600 civic unity
01:00:38.560 or justice?
01:00:40.960 And again,
01:00:41.920 why are the
01:00:42.680 Silicon Valley people
01:00:43.660 pouring millions
01:00:45.320 of dollars in
01:00:45.960 to promote that?
01:00:46.740 Why are groups
01:00:53.200 this extreme
01:00:54.600 receiving significant
01:00:56.280 democratic donor
01:00:57.200 support,
01:00:57.960 especially when their
01:00:59.120 rhetoric goes beyond
01:01:00.100 protest into open
01:01:01.280 support for political
01:01:02.340 violence and separatism?
01:01:03.660 How far from the
01:01:05.660 traditional democratic
01:01:06.520 platform are these
01:01:07.660 ideas?
01:01:08.540 I mean,
01:01:09.280 the party,
01:01:10.000 you don't seem to be
01:01:10.960 distancing yourself
01:01:12.020 from it.
01:01:13.020 In fact,
01:01:13.320 you seem to quietly
01:01:14.400 embrace this
01:01:15.620 and it's getting
01:01:16.680 louder.
01:01:17.320 Your quiet is starting
01:01:18.240 to get a little
01:01:18.920 loud.
01:01:21.400 What do the dark
01:01:22.280 money networks
01:01:23.160 like Arabella
01:01:24.020 play in shaping
01:01:25.020 the grassroots
01:01:25.680 movement with
01:01:26.440 potentially extreme
01:01:27.720 ideologies?
01:01:28.760 Is anybody
01:01:29.300 looking into that?
01:01:31.060 Are politicians
01:01:31.880 like Kamala Harris
01:01:33.200 or Raphael
01:01:34.320 Warnock aware
01:01:35.760 of the full
01:01:36.320 nature of the
01:01:36.980 groups being
01:01:37.580 funded through
01:01:38.300 PACs and networks
01:01:39.320 aligned with
01:01:40.580 them?
01:01:45.140 Why is there so
01:01:46.120 little media
01:01:46.720 scrutiny of these
01:01:47.560 connections compared
01:01:48.420 to the other
01:01:48.980 political funding
01:01:49.920 controversies?
01:01:51.220 Why is anti-Semitism
01:01:52.160 tolerated or
01:01:53.220 overlooked when it
01:01:53.940 comes from far
01:01:54.680 left or minority
01:01:55.600 focused groups?
01:01:56.600 I just don't know.
01:01:57.820 Why does
01:01:58.280 mainstream media,
01:01:59.460 the outlets,
01:02:00.520 including those
01:02:01.140 owned by donors
01:02:01.880 like the Atlantic,
01:02:03.200 fail to report
01:02:04.520 critically on any
01:02:05.680 of these stories?
01:02:07.920 Is the public
01:02:09.020 being misled by
01:02:09.940 selective coverage
01:02:10.920 or the avoidance
01:02:11.740 of topics that
01:02:12.500 might expose
01:02:13.240 contradictions in
01:02:14.140 elite or party
01:02:15.100 narratives?
01:02:16.040 I just...
01:02:18.200 Is any of this
01:02:22.700 coordinated?
01:02:24.580 Why are so many
01:02:25.780 elite donors,
01:02:26.600 media owners,
01:02:27.440 NGOs,
01:02:28.160 echoing the same
01:02:29.040 talking points and
01:02:30.080 funding overlapping
01:02:31.640 causes?
01:02:33.380 What happens to
01:02:34.820 a republic,
01:02:37.000 a democratic
01:02:37.760 society,
01:02:38.480 when billionaires,
01:02:39.580 tech moguls,
01:02:40.720 and activist
01:02:41.360 groups openly
01:02:42.460 fund radical
01:02:44.440 ideological
01:02:45.200 movements that
01:02:46.020 seek to
01:02:46.680 dismantle all
01:02:47.860 of the existing
01:02:48.560 legal and social
01:02:49.460 structures?
01:02:50.180 What happens
01:02:51.380 to that society?
01:02:52.540 I think these
01:02:55.260 are questions
01:02:56.040 that maybe we
01:02:56.660 should spend
01:02:57.100 some time
01:02:57.560 answering.
01:02:58.720 I think these
01:02:59.120 are some
01:02:59.380 questions that
01:03:00.040 maybe somebody
01:03:00.860 as a journalist
01:03:02.020 should be
01:03:04.180 asking people
01:03:05.500 of power,
01:03:06.520 people in
01:03:06.980 Silicon Valley,
01:03:08.100 people who are
01:03:08.720 billionaires that
01:03:09.660 are donating
01:03:10.220 to these very
01:03:11.640 radical groups.
01:03:15.180 Or are we just
01:03:16.020 going to play
01:03:16.340 politics again?
01:03:17.320 Yeah, let's just
01:03:17.980 play politics today
01:03:18.960 again, media.
01:03:20.080 You're so good at it,
01:03:21.260 let's just do that.
01:03:22.340 All right, back in
01:03:22.880 just a second.
01:03:23.840 Rough Greens,
01:03:24.560 if you have a dog,
01:03:25.980 you know they're
01:03:26.540 not just a pet,
01:03:27.280 they're family.
01:03:28.280 They're the greeter
01:03:28.800 at the door,
01:03:29.320 the shadow in the
01:03:30.160 hallway, the only
01:03:31.700 one who never
01:03:32.600 forgot where the
01:03:33.600 ball rolled under
01:03:34.260 the couch.
01:03:35.600 So when they
01:03:36.140 start to slow
01:03:36.700 down, when their
01:03:37.480 coat starts to
01:03:38.740 lose the shine or
01:03:39.800 the energy starts
01:03:40.980 to fade, it hits
01:03:41.860 you, you start to
01:03:42.780 wonder, am I doing
01:03:43.780 enough for my
01:03:45.180 good friend and my
01:03:46.080 family member, my
01:03:46.920 dog?
01:03:48.860 This is where
01:03:49.220 Rough Greens
01:03:49.740 comes in.
01:03:50.360 It's not a dog
01:03:50.960 food, it's
01:03:51.260 a nutritional
01:03:51.880 boost you
01:03:52.420 sprinkle on
01:03:52.960 their existing
01:03:53.500 food, vitamins,
01:03:54.580 minerals, probiotics,
01:03:55.800 digestive enzymes,
01:03:56.900 all the stuff
01:03:57.640 that's missing
01:03:58.180 from most dog
01:03:58.880 foods.

01:04:00.640 food is designed
01:04:01.320 to last on a

01:04:03.160 keep your dog
01:04:03.740 living longer,
01:04:04.820 it's to make
01:04:06.640 that product
01:04:07.300 live longer,
01:04:08.100 not your dog.
01:04:09.220 All you have to
01:04:09.780 do is add
01:04:10.280 Rough Greens.

01:04:12.800 The energy
01:04:13.180 comes back, the
01:04:14.040 spark returns,
01:04:15.540 and your dog
01:04:16.240 is young again.

01:04:51.300 Tonight,
01:04:51.940 Wednesday night
01:04:52.420 special on
01:04:53.020 Blaze TV,
01:04:53.840 the explosive
01:04:54.420 showdown that
01:04:55.260 is shaking the
01:04:56.080 foundations of
01:04:56.800 elitism,
01:04:57.620 the Trump
01:04:58.040 administration
01:04:58.620 taking on
01:04:59.380 Harvard.
01:05:00.800 What's at the
01:05:01.640 heart of it?
01:05:02.760 From the
01:05:03.300 pro-Hamas
01:05:04.240 protest to
01:05:05.040 elite privilege,
01:05:06.060 we'll show you
01:05:06.780 how the ivory
01:05:07.340 tower has become
01:05:08.320 an incubator for
01:05:09.360 hatred and how
01:05:10.500 the Trump
01:05:10.860 administration is
01:05:11.700 leveraging billions
01:05:12.720 to demand
01:05:13.440 change.
01:05:14.420 And it's not
01:05:14.800 just about
01:05:15.340 Harvard.
01:05:16.440 It's about
01:05:16.960 higher education
01:05:17.980 infecting a
01:05:18.760 nation with
01:05:19.200 divisive
01:05:19.840 ideologies.
01:05:20.760 Tonight,
01:05:21.180 we'll tell you
01:05:21.600 the whole story
01:05:22.500 why Trump's
01:05:23.260 war on
01:05:23.700 Harvard is a
01:05:24.900 major threat
01:05:25.820 to elites.
01:05:26.980 That's tonight,
01:05:27.640 9 p.m.
01:05:28.160 Eastern on
01:05:28.660 BlazeTV.com.
01:05:29.860 Tomorrow at
01:05:30.300 6 p.m.
01:05:30.900 Eastern on
01:05:31.380 YouTube.com
01:05:32.300 slash Glenn Beck.
01:05:33.700 Tonight,
01:05:34.520 Blaze TV,
01:05:35.800 9 p.m.
01:05:37.280 I don't know
01:05:38.020 if you saw
01:05:38.500 this,
01:05:38.780 but two
01:05:39.200 researchers
01:05:39.900 that were
01:05:41.360 both from
01:05:42.540 China,
01:05:44.460 allegedly
01:05:45.360 receiving
01:05:46.000 funding from
01:05:47.140 the Chinese
01:05:47.700 government for
01:05:48.460 their research,
01:05:49.480 citizens of the
01:05:50.720 people,
01:05:51.060 Republic of
01:05:51.660 China.
01:05:52.060 They just
01:05:52.980 charged these
01:05:53.580 two Chinese
01:05:54.320 researchers,
01:05:55.020 the Department
01:05:55.380 of Justice
01:05:55.820 did,
01:05:56.320 with attempting
01:05:56.860 to smuggle
01:05:57.680 a fungus into
01:05:58.840 the United
01:05:59.240 States,
01:06:00.260 dubbed
01:06:00.680 Fusarium
01:06:02.400 Grammarium,
01:06:04.060 I think.
01:06:06.180 This is a
01:06:07.260 fungus that
01:06:08.200 has been
01:06:08.500 classified as
01:06:09.180 a potential
01:06:09.740 agro-terrorism
01:06:10.960 weapon.
01:06:12.600 Apparently,
01:06:13.540 it will
01:06:14.920 kill crops
01:06:16.040 like nobody's
01:06:17.220 business,
01:06:17.620 and they were
01:06:18.160 smuggling it
01:06:18.780 in just to do
01:06:19.460 some research
01:06:19.960 on it.
01:06:20.620 Ah, you know,
01:06:21.060 we've seen when
01:06:21.740 China does
01:06:22.260 research on
01:06:22.900 things,
01:06:23.180 it doesn't
01:06:23.600 usually end
01:06:24.420 up.
01:06:25.160 Now,
01:06:25.940 these two
01:06:26.500 researchers
01:06:27.140 supposedly
01:06:28.540 were dating,
01:06:32.040 they come to
01:06:32.580 the United
01:06:32.880 States,
01:06:33.260 they go into
01:06:33.900 Detroit,
01:06:34.440 and they lied
01:06:35.920 to the
01:06:37.040 officers,
01:06:38.240 you know,
01:06:38.580 at the airport
01:06:39.120 about the
01:06:39.920 fungus.
01:06:40.940 He said,
01:06:41.620 boy, I don't
01:06:42.000 know how
01:06:42.360 this, you
01:06:43.000 know,
01:06:43.100 the guy,
01:06:43.420 I don't
01:06:43.680 know how
01:06:44.000 this ended
01:06:44.660 up in my
01:06:45.160 luggage.
01:06:45.880 Really?
01:06:46.620 This just
01:06:47.080 wrapped
01:06:48.160 fungus just
01:06:49.520 is in the
01:06:50.080 middle of
01:06:50.380 your luggage
01:06:50.800 and you
01:06:50.980 have no
01:06:51.460 idea.
01:06:52.400 He later
01:06:53.060 admitted to
01:06:53.580 putting it
01:06:53.960 in his
01:06:54.240 bag and
01:06:54.720 wrapping it
01:06:55.480 carefully to
01:06:56.080 avoid detection
01:06:56.840 because he
01:06:57.360 knew it was
01:06:57.920 restricted.
01:06:58.540 By the
01:06:59.440 way,
01:07:00.320 they're not
01:07:01.140 just Chinese
01:07:01.860 nationals,
01:07:02.940 they're loyal
01:07:03.940 members of
01:07:04.560 the Chinese
01:07:05.100 Communist Party.
01:07:08.200 So,
01:07:09.280 what's
01:07:10.060 happening?
01:07:11.320 Why are
01:07:11.840 they bringing
01:07:12.260 in a terror
01:07:13.020 weapon for
01:07:14.200 our agriculture?
01:07:16.000 And how
01:07:17.580 much more
01:07:19.000 is going
01:07:19.820 on?
01:07:21.600 Do you
01:07:22.520 really,
01:07:23.040 politicians,
01:07:23.800 want to
01:07:24.360 defend our
01:07:24.960 open borders?
01:07:26.300 Do you
01:07:26.520 really?
01:07:27.460 Because I
01:07:28.200 don't think
01:07:28.420 it's going
01:07:28.660 to work
01:07:28.920 out for
01:07:29.400 us or
01:07:30.280 for you
01:07:30.980 in the
01:07:31.440 end.
01:07:32.420 This is
01:07:33.300 Glenn Beck.
01:07:36.980 Ever
01:07:37.340 notice how
01:07:37.700 your body
01:07:38.000 starts
01:07:38.260 negotiating
01:07:38.760 with you?
01:07:39.560 All right,
01:07:39.980 we can go
01:07:40.300 to the
01:07:40.520 game,
01:07:40.900 but we're
01:07:41.500 going to
01:07:41.640 pay for
01:07:41.960 it tomorrow.
01:07:42.620 Yeah,
01:07:42.820 sure,
01:07:43.100 walk the
01:07:43.480 dog,
01:07:43.800 but don't
01:07:44.060 even think
01:07:44.400 about the
01:07:44.720 stairs after.
01:07:45.440 Gardening?
01:07:46.240 Fine,
01:07:46.700 just make
01:07:48.240 sure you
01:07:48.600 can get
01:07:48.880 into the
01:07:49.200 chiropractor
01:07:49.700 tomorrow.
01:07:50.440 It's like
01:07:50.780 your joints
01:07:51.240 have unionized
01:07:52.080 and they're
01:07:52.380 demanding

01:09:32.140 Josh Hammer
01:09:32.720 is joining
01:09:33.120 me now.
01:09:33.580 He is the
01:09:34.440 Newsweek senior
01:09:35.180 editor at
01:09:35.780 large,
01:09:36.420 also the

01:09:37.200 The Josh
01:09:37.560 Hammer
01:09:37.800 Show,
01:09:38.300 guy who I
01:09:38.860 just adore.
01:09:39.800 I think he's
01:09:40.060 really,
01:09:40.540 really smart,
01:09:41.020 author of
01:09:41.640 Israel and
01:09:42.420 Civilization.
01:09:43.840 Welcome to
01:09:44.300 the program,
01:09:44.780 Josh.
01:09:45.000 How are you?
01:09:45.460 Glenn,
01:09:47.400 with those
01:09:47.900 enduring words,
01:09:48.820 always a pleasure
01:09:49.240 to join you,
01:09:49.680 my friend.
01:09:50.000 Thank you so
01:09:50.400 much.
01:09:51.740 Thank you.
01:09:53.060 I want to
01:09:53.720 get into
01:09:54.180 some of the
01:09:55.000 stuff that's
01:09:55.360 been happening
01:09:55.840 with Israel,
01:09:57.520 but I think
01:09:58.880 that one of
01:10:01.040 the main
01:10:01.400 causes of
01:10:02.100 this is our
01:10:02.640 universities.
01:10:03.200 and I want
01:10:04.620 to talk to
01:10:05.020 you about
01:10:05.440 Trump's
01:10:06.620 decision to
01:10:07.200 cancel the
01:10:07.940 federal funds
01:10:09.100 and how
01:10:10.700 much of an
01:10:11.100 impact do
01:10:11.580 you think
01:10:11.860 that will
01:10:12.140 have?
01:10:14.460 Look,
01:10:15.020 from my
01:10:15.500 vantage point,
01:10:16.220 Glenn,
01:10:16.720 let's think of
01:10:17.300 it from a
01:10:17.600 U.S.
01:10:17.920 taxpayer
01:10:18.320 perspective.
01:10:19.380 So higher
01:10:20.240 education in
01:10:20.840 America gets
01:10:21.920 exorbitant
01:10:23.320 largesse from
01:10:24.620 we the people
01:10:25.400 through our
01:10:25.880 Julian
01:10:26.180 elected
01:10:26.440 representatives.
01:10:27.740 So Harvard's
01:10:28.340 endowment,
01:10:28.700 for instance,
01:10:29.140 gets taxed a
01:10:29.860 1.4% rate.
01:10:32.240 1.4%.
01:10:33.920 So you combine
01:10:35.240 that on top
01:10:36.100 of the just
01:10:36.680 straight up
01:10:37.780 billions of
01:10:38.580 dollars in
01:10:39.340 annual appropriations
01:10:40.640 to fund God
01:10:41.640 knows what
01:10:42.080 things.
01:10:42.400 By the way,
01:10:43.360 I think a lot
01:10:43.800 of Americans
01:10:44.200 just didn't
01:10:44.680 realize,
01:10:45.280 actually,
01:10:45.600 the extent to
01:10:46.320 which these
01:10:47.080 universities,
01:10:47.800 Harvard,
01:10:48.160 Columbia,
01:10:48.640 Princeton,
01:10:49.080 et cetera,
01:10:49.840 are just
01:10:50.240 straight up
01:10:50.660 getting not
01:10:51.380 just a
01:10:51.680 favorable tax
01:10:52.420 rate,
01:10:52.720 but hundreds
01:10:53.220 of millions
01:10:53.520 of dollars,
01:10:54.080 billions of
01:10:54.520 dollars in
01:10:55.040 just grants
01:10:56.040 with essentially
01:10:56.980 no strings
01:10:57.620 attached.
01:10:58.580 And then you
01:10:58.840 kind of throw
01:10:59.280 into the
01:10:59.580 equation,
01:11:00.780 the government's
01:11:01.940 monopoly on
01:11:02.500 student loans
01:11:03.340 as well,
01:11:04.040 which incentivizes
01:11:04.860 people to
01:11:05.380 matriculate
01:11:05.880 to the
01:11:06.080 university.
01:11:06.560 So it's a
01:11:07.220 whole toxic
01:11:07.920 stew.
01:11:08.860 And I think
01:11:09.440 the relevant
01:11:09.920 thing to
01:11:10.900 think about,
01:11:11.520 Glenn,
01:11:12.380 I put it in
01:11:13.100 a column about
01:11:13.640 a month and a
01:11:14.040 half ago or
01:11:14.480 so as this
01:11:14.960 fight against
01:11:15.360 Harvard was
01:11:15.760 really escalating.
01:11:17.300 Think of it
01:11:17.760 like this.
01:11:18.500 We the people
01:11:19.300 long ago
01:11:20.020 agreed to
01:11:20.980 subsidize higher
01:11:22.140 ed on the
01:11:22.800 implicit assumption
01:11:23.680 that higher ed
01:11:24.960 serves a
01:11:25.820 public good,
01:11:27.180 that it
01:11:27.440 actually produces
01:11:28.160 good young
01:11:29.260 men and
01:11:29.660 women who
01:11:30.080 are patriotic,
01:11:31.020 who love
01:11:31.280 their family,
01:11:31.940 love their
01:11:32.240 country,
01:11:32.740 ideally love
01:11:33.440 God Almighty
01:11:34.020 himself.
01:11:35.340 But they
01:11:35.700 dropped the
01:11:36.220 end of the
01:11:36.480 bargain decades
01:11:37.280 ago.
01:11:37.680 So I think
01:11:38.100 what Trump
01:11:38.740 is really
01:11:39.340 doing,
01:11:39.940 taking the
01:11:40.300 long view
01:11:40.740 here,
01:11:41.320 he's
01:11:41.560 fundamentally
01:11:42.020 resetting the
01:11:43.100 terms of the
01:11:43.700 relationship between
01:11:44.580 we the people
01:11:45.340 and higher ed.
01:11:46.200 And he frankly
01:11:46.800 cannot pick a
01:11:47.700 better place to
01:11:48.380 start than the
01:11:49.500 most elite of
01:11:50.500 all the elite
01:11:50.960 institutions,
01:11:52.060 a place that
01:11:52.620 has clearly and
01:11:54.180 transparently not
01:11:55.500 cracked down on,
01:11:56.600 among other
01:11:57.020 things,
01:11:57.540 anti-Semitism,
01:11:58.460 anti-Americanism,
01:12:00.120 anti-Westernism,
01:12:00.960 and that is
01:12:01.320 Harvard University.
01:12:03.120 I mean,
01:12:03.620 you know what's
01:12:04.200 sick to me is,
01:12:05.500 I mean,
01:12:05.980 this is a hedge
01:12:06.660 fund that calls
01:12:07.540 themselves a
01:12:08.640 university at this
01:12:09.600 point, I think.
01:12:11.020 They could so
01:12:12.360 easily make
01:12:13.820 higher education
01:12:14.940 free and pay
01:12:17.840 for it for
01:12:18.500 decades with
01:12:19.640 just their hedge
01:12:20.320 fund.
01:12:20.560 And I'm not
01:12:21.020 saying that they
01:12:21.700 should do that
01:12:22.340 or whatever,
01:12:22.760 it's their money,
01:12:23.500 et cetera,
01:12:23.820 et cetera.
01:12:24.060 But we should
01:12:25.140 stop subsidizing
01:12:26.240 this.
01:12:27.200 They are making
01:12:28.380 money hand over
01:12:29.720 fist and taking
01:12:31.100 our tax dollars
01:12:32.400 and then teaching
01:12:34.100 our children
01:12:34.760 garbage,
01:12:36.560 twisting our
01:12:37.320 nation,
01:12:39.440 and, you know,
01:12:40.660 all saying that
01:12:41.460 they're so important.
01:12:42.420 You know,
01:12:42.880 it was important
01:12:44.280 to support them
01:12:45.560 when they were
01:12:47.080 struggling,
01:12:47.800 when we looked
01:12:48.640 and said,
01:12:49.240 okay,
01:12:49.620 you know,
01:12:50.460 we got to make
01:12:51.300 sure they're doing
01:12:52.160 the public
01:12:52.660 good,
01:12:53.480 it's important,
01:12:54.780 and we want
01:12:55.560 to make sure
01:12:55.980 that they can
01:12:56.520 stay in business,
01:12:57.420 et cetera,
01:12:57.780 et cetera.
01:12:58.180 But they are
01:12:59.680 some of the
01:13:00.500 biggest businesses
01:13:01.400 in the world
01:13:02.100 now.
01:13:04.480 And, you know,
01:13:05.240 Glenn,
01:13:05.420 you're a student,
01:13:06.380 Glenn,
01:13:07.680 of the American
01:13:08.560 conservative movement,
01:13:09.680 as I like to
01:13:10.440 think I am,
01:13:11.060 too.
01:13:11.760 I mean,
01:13:12.080 it was William
01:13:12.800 F. Buckley
01:13:13.420 himself,
01:13:14.000 the guy who
01:13:14.480 literally found
01:13:15.140 in National Review
01:13:15.860 Magazine that
01:13:16.780 first post-war
01:13:18.280 institution of the
01:13:19.500 movement.
01:13:20.380 His first book
01:13:21.260 was on this.
01:13:22.400 Buckley wrote
01:13:23.000 God and Man
01:13:23.760 at Yale,
01:13:24.420 a book in
01:13:25.060 1951.
01:13:27.560 1951.
01:13:28.880 I mean,
01:13:29.240 decades before
01:13:29.980 I was born,
01:13:30.840 he was complaining
01:13:31.460 about how the
01:13:32.240 elite Ivy League,
01:13:33.980 ivory tower of
01:13:35.360 the academy,
01:13:36.200 had sold its
01:13:37.120 soul to
01:13:37.820 secularism,
01:13:38.760 atheism,
01:13:39.520 leftism,
01:13:40.500 at the time
01:13:41.060 pro-Soviet
01:13:41.840 communism,
01:13:42.760 cultural Marxism,
01:13:43.720 all the various
01:13:44.440 maladies that
01:13:45.600 are seeking to
01:13:46.340 subjugate and
01:13:47.800 essentially devour
01:13:48.740 us as a fifth
01:13:49.420 column from
01:13:50.300 within.
01:13:51.320 So,
01:13:51.760 this is so
01:13:52.720 overdue.
01:13:53.600 I mean,
01:13:53.820 this is so,
01:13:54.780 so,
01:13:55.100 so overdue.
01:13:55.740 And by the
01:13:56.120 way,
01:13:56.920 not just on
01:13:57.520 the policy,
01:13:58.260 it's great
01:13:58.680 policy.
01:13:59.440 The politics
01:14:00.080 are also
01:14:00.580 amazing.
01:14:01.540 I mean,
01:14:01.740 Donald Trump
01:14:02.300 has a special
01:14:03.020 gift here,
01:14:03.660 Glenn.
01:14:03.920 He picks
01:14:04.460 amazing enemies.
01:14:05.760 I mean,
01:14:05.900 think about the
01:14:06.300 whole Stormy
01:14:06.920 Daniels,
01:14:07.380 Michael Cohen
01:14:07.940 thing.
01:14:08.260 I mean,
01:14:08.400 amazing enemies,
01:14:09.380 right?
01:14:09.660 Stormy Daniels,
01:14:10.920 Michael Cohen,
01:14:12.020 Alvin Bragg.
01:14:12.940 Well,
01:14:13.160 so too here.
01:14:14.360 Harvard
01:14:14.600 University is a
01:14:15.680 pitch-perfect
01:14:16.640 enemy for his
01:14:17.540 nationalist,
01:14:18.140 populist,
01:14:18.740 MAGA coalition
01:14:19.860 there.
01:14:20.120 He's forcing
01:14:20.960 Democrats to
01:14:22.160 defend Harvard
01:14:23.260 University.
01:14:24.060 He is forcing
01:14:24.620 them to tell
01:14:25.880 the person who
01:14:27.140 works at a
01:14:27.840 supply line,
01:14:29.660 at a manufacturing
01:14:30.680 plant who's,
01:14:31.480 you know,
01:14:32.060 making ends
01:14:32.740 meet on
01:14:33.160 $50,000 a
01:14:33.860 year salary.
01:14:34.520 They're trying
01:14:35.380 to force Barack
01:14:36.660 Obama,
01:14:37.340 Kamala Harris,
01:14:38.080 all these
01:14:38.380 Democrats to
01:14:39.240 say to that
01:14:39.800 worker on the
01:14:40.660 manufacturing line,
01:14:41.540 okay,
01:14:42.580 your hard-earned
01:14:43.420 taxpayer dollars
01:14:44.300 has to go fund
01:14:45.340 the indoctrination
01:14:46.540 of lesbian dance
01:14:48.080 theory or whatever
01:14:48.900 the heck they're
01:14:49.340 teaching at
01:14:50.600 Harvard University.
01:14:51.560 It's brilliant,
01:14:52.520 brilliant politics
01:14:53.200 as well.
01:14:54.580 So tell me about
01:14:55.660 the 2019
01:14:56.460 combating
01:14:58.180 anti-Semitism
01:14:59.060 Trump order,
01:15:00.620 the executive
01:15:01.180 order that he signed
01:15:01.920 in,
01:15:02.040 because this is
01:15:02.520 what this all
01:15:03.040 kind of spins
01:15:03.600 around,
01:15:03.980 isn't it?
01:15:05.720 Yeah,
01:15:06.200 so it's twofold.
01:15:07.680 So this was a
01:15:08.640 very important
01:15:09.200 executive order.
01:15:10.040 You know,
01:15:10.240 there's been a lot
01:15:10.800 of confusion on
01:15:11.480 this issue,
01:15:11.940 I think.
01:15:12.500 I've seen a lot
01:15:13.280 of folks confused
01:15:14.940 as to whether or
01:15:15.920 not some of these
01:15:16.380 attempts to
01:15:16.880 legislatively crack
01:15:17.900 down on
01:15:18.700 anti-Semitism
01:15:19.400 and fringe upon
01:15:20.560 First Amendment
01:15:21.100 free speech.
01:15:22.440 But Donald Trump
01:15:23.160 did sign a very
01:15:23.900 important executive
01:15:24.680 order back in
01:15:25.540 2019 where he
01:15:26.880 interpreted Title
01:15:27.740 VI of the
01:15:28.560 Civil Rights Act.
01:15:30.000 Title VI
01:15:30.540 essentially prohibits
01:15:32.020 any institution
01:15:33.100 of higher
01:15:33.420 education that
01:15:34.120 receives taxpayer
01:15:34.980 dollars from
01:15:35.640 discriminating on
01:15:36.320 the basis of
01:15:37.020 race, sex,
01:15:38.280 national origin,
01:15:39.140 religion, etc.
01:15:40.300 So he interpreted
01:15:41.060 in the executive
01:15:41.740 order Title VI as
01:15:43.580 including the
01:15:44.480 prohibition on
01:15:45.340 discrimination of
01:15:46.140 religion as
01:15:47.340 including anti-Zionism
01:15:49.060 as a form of
01:15:50.260 anti-Semitism
01:15:50.920 there.
01:15:51.520 So he essentially
01:15:52.280 did this by
01:15:53.280 executive order
01:15:53.960 years ago.
01:15:55.360 And that's also
01:15:56.340 relevant doubly so
01:15:57.540 because he's on
01:15:58.680 another executive
01:15:59.280 order in the first
01:16:00.460 24 to 30 hours of
01:16:01.960 second term back
01:16:03.000 in January of
01:16:04.400 this year where
01:16:05.420 he also extended
01:16:06.400 or he interpreted
01:16:07.240 I should say the
01:16:08.340 affirmative action
01:16:09.060 case, which by
01:16:10.500 the way Harvard
01:16:10.980 was the defendant.
01:16:11.840 This was the
01:16:12.160 Students for Fair
01:16:12.700 Admissions versus
01:16:13.320 Harvard College
01:16:14.060 case from two
01:16:14.880 years ago that
01:16:15.440 reached the
01:16:15.780 Supreme Court that
01:16:16.560 finally overdid the
01:16:18.420 state-sanctioned
01:16:19.320 racism that we
01:16:20.300 euphemistically refer
01:16:21.360 to as so-called
01:16:22.080 affirmative action.
01:16:23.200 He also interpreted
01:16:24.100 that case as
01:16:25.620 applying to all,
01:16:28.300 to all the
01:16:28.980 14th Amendment
01:16:29.620 Title VI and
01:16:30.980 extending it to
01:16:31.740 race, sex,
01:16:32.740 national origin.
01:16:33.240 So the combined
01:16:34.160 effect of both of
01:16:35.800 these executive
01:16:36.240 orders, Glenn, is
01:16:37.480 to take an
01:16:37.900 extremely strong
01:16:38.940 stand against not
01:16:40.200 just anti-Zionism,
01:16:41.880 anti-Semitism there,
01:16:42.780 but also anti-white
01:16:44.060 hatred, anti-Christian
01:16:45.500 bigotry, anti-Asian
01:16:47.100 hatred there.
01:16:47.820 These are all the
01:16:48.580 things that Donald
01:16:49.280 Trump and his
01:16:49.720 administration are now
01:16:50.620 cracking on in there.
01:16:51.640 Harvard is offending
01:16:52.760 all of the above.
01:16:54.020 Many of these lead
01:16:54.840 institutions are offending
01:16:55.920 all of the above.
01:16:56.840 And the very simple
01:16:58.200 thing that I think
01:16:58.900 the Trump
01:16:59.200 administration is
01:16:59.880 doing here, and
01:17:00.640 again, it's great
01:17:01.580 policy and great
01:17:02.340 politics alike, they
01:17:03.600 are saying, unless
01:17:04.420 and until you stop
01:17:05.680 discriminating on the
01:17:06.940 basis of race, sex,
01:17:09.060 religion, and so
01:17:09.640 forth there, you're
01:17:10.540 not entitled to any
01:17:11.600 taxpayer dollars.
01:17:12.540 It's a pretty good
01:17:13.180 argument, I think.
01:17:15.180 So tell me, because
01:17:16.660 I'm hearing some
01:17:18.340 people say, on both
01:17:20.240 sides, you know, this
01:17:22.420 is a crackdown on
01:17:23.440 free speech, and I
01:17:24.920 am not a speech
01:17:27.300 policeman.
01:17:28.120 I believe the most
01:17:30.560 vile things can, and
01:17:33.100 we need to allow
01:17:34.580 them to be said, and
01:17:37.380 not squash speech at
01:17:39.720 all, because it is a
01:17:41.220 fundamental right, and
01:17:43.840 we have to have it if
01:17:45.060 we're going to grow as
01:17:45.900 people.
01:17:46.800 How do you stop this
01:17:48.860 from being, from an
01:17:52.100 anti-Semite bill to
01:17:56.320 make sure that
01:17:56.960 anti-Semitism is
01:17:58.420 curbed to it
01:18:01.280 becoming something
01:18:02.000 about speech?
01:18:03.040 You're not allowed to
01:18:03.700 say, if you want to
01:18:04.460 criticize Israel,
01:18:05.320 criticize Israel all
01:18:06.100 you want.
01:18:07.000 You know, same with
01:18:07.640 Hamas, same with all
01:18:08.480 of them.
01:18:09.120 Criticize it.
01:18:10.660 Where's the line
01:18:11.560 there?
01:18:11.860 So, the line, Glenn, in
01:18:16.180 my opinion, is as
01:18:17.980 follows.
01:18:18.340 You are, of course,
01:18:19.080 more than allowed to
01:18:20.180 criticize any foreign
01:18:21.700 government, Brazil,
01:18:23.260 Indonesia, Japan,
01:18:24.320 Israel, any government.
01:18:25.960 By the way, Glenn, you
01:18:27.140 know, you've spent some
01:18:27.680 time in Israel over the
01:18:28.540 decades.
01:18:29.000 You're a tremendous
01:18:29.540 friend of the Jewish
01:18:30.320 people.
01:18:31.120 You know, anyone who's
01:18:31.980 ever met Israelis knows
01:18:33.200 that no one loves
01:18:33.980 criticizing the Israeli
01:18:34.960 government more than
01:18:35.840 Israelis themselves.
01:18:36.760 Two Jews in a room
01:18:42.820 and you've got four
01:18:43.760 different opinions and
01:18:44.760 none of them could be
01:18:45.820 satisfied for the other
01:18:47.120 ones.
01:18:47.520 So, yes, I agree.
01:18:49.180 Yeah, exactly.
01:18:50.380 There's literally books
01:18:51.840 written about Talmudic
01:18:53.180 insults, the insults
01:18:55.120 the rabbis use against.
01:18:56.300 But, anyway, I digress.
01:18:57.700 So, you're, of course,
01:18:58.560 allowed to criticize any
01:19:00.160 policy you wish of any
01:19:01.500 foreign government,
01:19:02.200 including Israel.
01:19:03.180 What tows the line is
01:19:05.460 when you focus
01:19:06.600 solely and exclusively
01:19:07.800 on calling for the
01:19:09.900 eradication of a single
01:19:11.960 nation state there.
01:19:13.260 And that single
01:19:13.940 nation state, based on
01:19:15.940 the context and the way
01:19:17.120 that you are clamoring
01:19:18.500 and chanting and the
01:19:20.320 way that you are
01:19:20.920 looking at your fellow
01:19:21.900 students, who are
01:19:22.540 probably, in this case,
01:19:23.380 having to be Jewish,
01:19:24.420 tends to potentially have
01:19:26.520 an imminent threat of
01:19:27.780 physical danger there.
01:19:28.860 So, for instance, when
01:19:30.100 so-called anti-Zionism
01:19:31.860 amounts to people
01:19:33.320 blocking students from
01:19:34.940 campus yards there,
01:19:36.120 to stopping people
01:19:37.660 from access in the
01:19:38.780 library simply because
01:19:39.820 they are wearing
01:19:40.520 kippah or the ritual
01:19:42.400 fringes, sisi, because
01:19:43.720 they are visibly Jewish
01:19:44.540 there, that is clearly
01:19:46.200 no longer simply
01:19:47.280 criticism of a given
01:19:49.120 policy of the
01:19:50.020 Netanyahu government.
01:19:50.800 That is just straight up
01:19:51.660 anti-Semitism there.
01:19:52.760 So, when it reaches an
01:19:53.860 imminent threat of harm
01:19:55.340 there, and by the way,
01:19:56.660 Glenn, I would say the
01:19:57.540 exact same thing about
01:19:59.060 imminent threat of harm
01:20:00.020 for anyone else, by the
01:20:01.160 way.
01:20:01.320 If you had a group of
01:20:03.060 Chinese-Americans,
01:20:05.240 Japanese-Americans,
01:20:06.100 whoever it is, and you
01:20:07.220 had a small group of
01:20:08.380 people there that
01:20:09.640 clearly have demonic
01:20:11.540 eyes there, and they're
01:20:13.100 chanting for the
01:20:14.300 eradication of Japan, and
01:20:16.260 they're blocking the
01:20:16.980 Japanese students from
01:20:17.860 access in the library, I
01:20:18.700 would say the exact same
01:20:19.660 thing there.
01:20:20.480 So, that is kind of how I
01:20:22.800 would personally draw the
01:20:24.180 line.
01:20:24.640 It's admittedly not the
01:20:26.020 cleanest line to draw.
01:20:27.740 Go ahead, sir.
01:20:28.240 But how do you then
01:20:29.900 balance with, let's say,
01:20:31.720 you know, Ronald Reagan
01:20:32.860 saying the Soviet Union
01:20:34.000 is an evil empire, needs
01:20:35.460 to be destroyed, or the
01:20:37.980 Nazis, and, you know, the
01:20:40.040 argument that, well, not
01:20:40.860 all Germans were Nazis, but
01:20:42.320 everybody kind of looked at
01:20:43.600 all Germans as Nazis there
01:20:44.960 for a while.
01:20:47.300 So, look, I'll probably
01:20:50.680 even draw the line even a
01:20:51.520 little finer than that
01:20:52.420 there.
01:20:53.280 Look, there are a lot,
01:20:54.380 there are even a lot of
01:20:55.480 Jews, even a lot of
01:20:56.380 religious Jews who are
01:20:57.860 not theologically
01:20:59.220 Zionist, insofar as
01:21:01.580 they, it's getting a
01:21:04.000 little in the weeds,
01:21:04.540 honestly.
01:21:05.020 But the very quick
01:21:06.840 argument is that the
01:21:08.640 state of Israel should not
01:21:09.560 have been formed prior to
01:21:10.740 the arrival of the Jewish
01:21:11.660 Messiah.
01:21:12.460 So, okay, if you want to
01:21:13.780 have an academic argument
01:21:15.180 as to whether or not it
01:21:16.740 was a good idea for the
01:21:18.400 Jewish state to be formed
01:21:19.840 in 1948, I think that's
01:21:21.660 fine.
01:21:22.080 Frankly, religious Jews do
01:21:23.480 that among themselves all
01:21:24.780 the time.
01:21:25.800 What, again, I think,
01:21:26.620 crossed the line is
01:21:28.480 calling for from the
01:21:30.420 river to the sea with
01:21:32.220 the clearly intended
01:21:33.560 effect of tossing the
01:21:35.340 Jews into the sea, which
01:21:36.980 again, it gets to the
01:21:38.240 subjective intent of what
01:21:40.120 is being called for here,
01:21:41.400 and that's not always the
01:21:42.080 cleanest line to draw, but
01:21:43.160 that's, you know, that's
01:21:43.800 why, that's why in theory
01:21:44.780 we have bureaucracies and
01:21:46.420 juries and things like that
01:21:47.400 to actually hear the
01:21:48.120 evidence and so forth.
01:21:49.840 We've only got about 30
01:21:50.820 seconds, Josh.
01:21:51.500 Does this work?
01:21:52.760 Does Trump win this?
01:21:53.720 I don't think that
01:21:56.820 Donald Trump is
01:21:57.400 blinking, Glenn.
01:21:58.460 I mean, Harper's going
01:21:59.760 to blink first.
01:22:02.400 Trump, to me, seems like
01:22:03.580 he's thrown the gas
01:22:04.220 out here.
01:22:04.620 I wish him the best of
01:22:05.340 luck.
01:22:05.540 I think he's going to
01:22:06.020 win this fight.
01:22:07.860 Josh Hammer from Newsweek
01:22:09.260 Senior Editor-at-Large,
01:22:10.480 also the author of
01:22:11.560 Israel and Civilization.
01:22:12.720 Josh, as always, good to
01:22:13.620 talk to you.
01:22:13.980 Thank you very much.
01:22:14.620 Appreciate it.
01:22:15.540 Let me tell you about
01:22:16.040 our sponsor this half
01:22:18.160 hour.
01:22:18.460 It's LifeLock.
01:22:19.640 Ever had somebody use
01:22:20.600 your name to do something
01:22:21.460 you'd never do?
01:22:22.780 They didn't call you.
01:22:23.460 They didn't ask.
01:22:23.940 They just took your
01:22:24.460 name, your info, made a
01:22:25.480 mess, opened up new
01:22:26.360 accounts, took out loans,
01:22:27.560 drained your funds.
01:22:28.580 Worst part, you didn't
01:22:29.420 even know about it until
01:22:30.320 it was too late.
01:22:31.280 If that's happened to
01:22:32.180 you, I can guarantee you
01:22:33.340 have LifeLock right now.
01:22:34.880 Most people, that hasn't
01:22:35.860 happened to, but identity
01:22:36.940 thieves are sneaky.
01:22:39.040 It's a criminal.
01:22:39.920 They slide in through a
01:22:41.260 data breach, phishing
01:22:42.380 email.
01:22:43.020 They hack the Wi-Fi
01:22:44.120 network, and just like
01:22:45.140 that, your life isn't
01:22:46.260 yours anymore, and you
01:22:47.520 need somebody to watch
01:22:48.720 over it because you can't
01:22:50.320 keep up with all of this
01:22:51.260 stuff.
01:22:52.000 That's why I trust
01:22:52.620 LifeLock.
01:22:53.340 They don't just monitor
01:22:54.380 what's happening.
01:22:55.080 They see threats coming.
01:22:56.400 They use proactive identity
01:22:57.960 theft protection to detect
01:22:59.280 things you probably
01:23:00.620 couldn't on your own, and
01:23:01.640 if something slips
01:23:02.360 through, they have a U.S.
01:23:03.860 based restoration team
01:23:05.440 that will help clean up
01:23:06.900 all of the damage.
01:23:08.120 Now, nobody can prevent
01:23:08.900 all identity theft or
01:23:09.860 monitor everything, but
01:23:10.780 LifeLock gives you a
01:23:11.760 fighting chance, and in the
01:23:12.900 digital world, that is
01:23:13.980 everything.
01:23:15.080 So protect yourself with
01:23:16.180 LifeLock.

01:23:37.020 More, next.
01:23:48.180 You know what dads
01:23:49.180 actually want for
01:23:50.300 Father's Day?
01:23:50.980 It's not another world's
01:23:52.500 best dad anything.
01:23:53.620 It is the most indulgent
01:23:55.020 experience you can have
01:23:56.240 without committing a
01:23:57.360 grievous sin.
01:23:58.100 I'm talking about this
01:23:58.700 box right here.
01:24:00.300 We're talking the
01:24:01.120 Father's Day box from
01:24:02.080 Kexi, a gourmet cookie
01:24:03.700 company that you may have
01:24:04.780 heard of.
01:24:05.260 Pat Gray and his family
01:24:06.240 started it.
01:24:06.800 We're talking about
01:24:07.280 giant cookies.
01:24:08.340 They're premium
01:24:08.900 ingredients.
01:24:10.140 A lot of butter.
01:24:11.660 A lot of...
01:24:11.960 Oh, God, they're
01:24:12.580 delicious.
01:24:13.140 And the Texas chocolate
01:24:15.140 chip in there.
01:24:16.620 Snickerdoodle.
01:24:17.240 This one...
01:24:17.820 This looks like a
01:24:18.440 s'mores situation going
01:24:19.880 on.
01:24:20.900 And if you love
01:24:21.440 chocolate, which you may
01:24:22.720 very well love, this
01:24:24.740 one, the Texas sheet
01:24:25.620 cake thing, is always a
01:24:26.840 massive hit for anyone
01:24:28.060 who absolutely loves
01:24:28.980 chocolate.
01:24:30.860 It's delicious.
01:24:32.000 Every one of their
01:24:32.420 cookies is delicious.
01:24:33.460 I love them.
01:24:34.460 I eat way too many of
01:24:35.700 them.
01:24:36.260 Pat brings them in and I
01:24:37.220 can't stop myself.
01:24:38.480 You won't be able to
01:24:39.280 stop yourself either and
01:24:40.160 your dad will absolutely
01:24:41.040 love these.
01:24:42.400 This is the cookie.
01:24:44.560 The cookie you want to
01:24:46.040 have.

01:25:30.280 Alan Dershowitz is
01:25:31.400 joining us here in a
01:25:32.160 second.
01:25:32.680 He says that the
01:25:34.080 Supreme Court is going
01:25:35.780 to rethink the limits
01:25:36.820 and protections of the
01:25:38.300 First Amendment, and I
01:25:39.680 don't think in a good
01:25:40.940 way.
01:25:41.820 I'm going to talk to him
01:25:42.640 coming up.
01:25:43.240 Also, Chip Roy is
01:25:44.080 joining us in the final
01:25:45.220 hour of the podcast.
01:25:46.960 Chip is going to talk
01:25:48.460 about codifying the
01:25:50.280 doge cuts.
01:25:52.860 You know, there are some
01:25:54.320 people that say that
01:25:55.400 Elon Musk is just upset
01:25:57.480 at the big, beautiful
01:25:59.600 bill because, well, you
01:26:01.120 know, they cut all of
01:26:03.420 the EV rebates.
01:26:05.400 I don't think that Elon
01:26:07.580 Musk is doing that.
01:26:09.020 Maybe.
01:26:09.480 I don't think so.
01:26:11.060 It's weird when you
01:26:11.760 trust Elon Musk, you
01:26:13.420 know, when he's the good
01:26:14.360 guy in it.
01:26:15.180 Because I know, I mean,
01:26:16.460 I like Elon Musk, but I'm
01:26:18.560 still, the jury's still
01:26:19.340 out.
01:26:19.560 I mean, the guy could turn
01:26:20.320 out to be the Antichrist,
01:26:21.520 but anybody could at this
01:26:22.680 point.
01:26:22.980 Would you be surprised if
01:26:24.240 any, Ronald McDonald is
01:26:25.880 all of a sudden like, oh,
01:26:26.980 by the way, I've been the
01:26:27.700 Antichrist the whole time.
01:26:28.600 I wouldn't necessarily be
01:26:30.080 surprised by any of it
01:26:31.240 anymore.
01:26:32.660 But I trust Elon Musk on
01:26:35.600 the cuts and Chip Roy says
01:26:39.420 that they have to be
01:26:40.400 codified now.
01:26:41.800 What did Trump just send
01:26:43.060 over?
01:26:43.340 Nine billion dollars,
01:26:44.760 something like that, which
01:26:46.140 seems like a big number.
01:26:47.200 And then you really look at
01:26:48.600 the trillions that we're
01:26:49.620 spending.
01:26:50.000 You're like, not so much.
01:26:51.460 Not so much.
01:26:53.380 But we'll talk to Chip Roy
01:26:54.680 about that coming up.
01:26:56.020 Anything else we're missing
01:26:56.860 here, Stu, that we have to
01:26:57.660 hit before we, before we
01:26:59.300 hit the road today?
01:26:59.960 One thing I, yeah, a couple
01:27:02.340 things.
01:27:04.280 One is Corinne Jean-Pierre
01:27:06.340 has come out.
01:27:08.240 Now, it's interesting because
01:27:09.460 she's already out as gay.
01:27:11.240 So that one, she can't come
01:27:12.220 out again.
01:27:12.680 She can't come out as
01:27:13.600 straight.
01:27:14.140 That would be interesting.
01:27:14.780 That would be a fascinating.
01:27:15.900 She's got a new book coming
01:27:16.900 out, though.
01:27:17.920 And she is apparently leaving
01:27:19.740 the Democratic Party, which
01:27:22.320 is fascinating.
01:27:23.860 Excuse me?
01:27:24.460 Yes.
01:27:24.800 She's now an independent, she
01:27:26.520 says.
01:27:27.160 So that's going to be...
01:27:28.480 Really?
01:27:29.180 Yeah.
01:27:29.420 A new book comes out in
01:27:30.360 October.
01:27:31.800 And then another one is, you
01:27:33.120 know, these Medicaid cuts...
01:27:34.100 I was going to ask if she
01:27:35.320 wrote it herself, but has she
01:27:36.600 read it?
01:27:37.200 Can she read it?
01:27:38.200 It's funny.
01:27:39.100 Someone tweeted that, I
01:27:41.520 can't wait for the audio
01:27:42.360 book, it will be read by John
01:27:43.860 Kirby, which is a tweet I'm so
01:27:46.180 jealous of.
01:27:47.400 I'm so...
01:27:48.400 A++.
01:27:49.780 I'm so annoyed I didn't think
01:27:51.240 of it myself.
01:27:51.780 This is Glenn Beck.
01:27:56.640 Let me tell you about our
01:27:57.880 sponsor this half hour.
01:27:59.420 It's Chapter.
01:28:01.960 If you've ever tried to help
01:28:03.120 your parents work out their
01:28:04.680 Medicare paperwork, or you're
01:28:06.480 doing it yourself, I mean, it
01:28:07.760 is a maze.
01:28:08.640 There's no written instructions.
01:28:10.140 Somebody moves the walls around
01:28:11.280 on you all the time.
01:28:12.640 And the worst part is you get
01:28:14.060 it wrong, even, you know, just
01:28:16.060 a little bit.
01:28:16.620 It's not a minor inconvenience.
01:28:18.220 It can be devastating, and you
01:28:20.040 can't change it.
01:28:21.540 I'm talking about plans that
01:28:22.860 don't cover what you actually
01:28:24.200 need.
01:28:24.640 Huge out-of-pocket expenses,
01:28:26.880 critical medications that
01:28:27.940 suddenly just aren't included
01:28:29.020 because you picked the wrong
01:28:29.820 plan.
01:28:30.820 This is why there's Chapter,
01:28:32.400 because honestly, everybody's
01:28:34.020 making money off of this, and
01:28:35.420 Chapter is not.
01:28:36.540 Chapter is not a call center.
01:28:38.360 They're not trying to sell you
01:28:39.400 on a plan.
01:28:40.160 They're an advocate.
01:28:41.280 They search through every
01:28:42.460 single Medicare plan available,
01:28:44.400 including those big-name
01:28:45.340 companies that you've heard of,
01:28:46.480 and they find the one that
01:28:47.520 fits for your life.
01:28:48.860 No kickbacks, no sales
01:28:50.200 pitches, just the best plan
01:28:52.100 for you.
01:28:53.140 So dial pound 250, say the
01:28:54.860 keyword chapter, pound 250,
01:28:56.700 keyword chapter, or go to
01:28:57.880 askchapter.org slash Beck.
01:29:00.260 That's askchapter.org slash Beck.
01:29:18.860 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
01:29:34.040 Down the road where shadows hide
01:29:43.400 Feel the dark on every side
01:29:46.020 Stand your ground when times get dark
01:29:48.640 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire
01:29:51.460 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
01:29:56.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program
01:30:04.040 You know, my mom used to say, sticks and stones can break your bones, but words will never hurt you.
01:30:10.120 And we used to really believe that, and I still do, but words are becoming very, very dangerous,
01:30:17.080 especially when they're in the mouths of extremists and they're marching around saying, you know,
01:30:22.940 kill all the Jews, and then people start to kill all the Jews.
01:30:25.780 Um, how do we balance this?
01:30:30.660 Because I don't, I mean, look, I, words, believe it or not, uh, is how I make a living.
01:30:38.160 I mean, I know I'm a butcher of the English language, but this is what I do for a living,
01:30:43.780 and it's freedom of speech to express myself, and I have been accused of saying things all the time,
01:30:50.720 that you're going to get people killed.
01:30:52.760 Well, no, wait, now hang on just a second.
01:30:54.560 Um, we can't shut down freedom of speech.
01:30:59.200 The most abhorrent things have to be, we have to tolerate and be able to say, you know,
01:31:05.840 it's their right to say it, they're wrong, and here's why.
01:31:09.640 But how do we keep ourselves safe?
01:31:11.780 And Alan Dershowitz said something, um, he was on, I can't remember which show, um,
01:31:16.640 but he was on a show, and, uh, and he, he said that he thought the Supreme Court was going
01:31:21.720 to start leaning against speech and more towards security, uh, which frightens me, and I think it
01:31:29.360 does him, too.
01:31:30.480 I don't think that's a good thing, and I wanted him to explain that.
01:31:33.300 In 60 seconds, we go to Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School professor, uh, emeritus, host of The Dershow,
01:31:39.840 and the author of a new book called The Preventative State, which I think is kind of exactly what we're
01:31:44.920 talking about here.
01:31:46.020 We'll get to that in just a second with Alan Dershowitz.
01:31:48.040 First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
01:31:50.120 There's, there's, there's really something unreal about the real estate agent process.
01:31:54.960 Pictures can, you know, look too good to be true.
01:31:57.040 Open houses can feel staged.
01:31:58.720 Sometimes if agents themselves sound more like salespeople than guides, you kind of turn off
01:32:03.440 with that.
01:32:03.760 If you're not careful, it starts to look like a three-ring circus.
01:32:07.860 You want somebody genuine, you want somebody authentic, somebody who understands you, what
01:32:11.880 you're looking for, you know, understands the market.
01:32:15.660 Because this is your home, your family, your future.
01:32:17.840 It's very possible that buying or selling a home is going to be the largest financial
01:32:22.000 transaction you're ever involved in.
01:32:24.920 This is why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.
01:32:27.060 We connect you with agents who have earned their way in, not through pay-to-play, but through
01:32:31.680 performance.
01:32:32.880 These are the top sellers, the people we have vetted ourselves intensely to make sure they're
01:32:37.600 the right person for the job for you.
01:32:39.900 We look for experience, expertise, and a track record of helping people just like you.
01:32:44.020 We started with the 500 best real estate agents in the country.
01:32:46.720 According to the Wall Street Journal, and we just found what they do, and we just started
01:32:52.740 looking for others like them.
01:32:54.780 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:32:57.000 We'd like to recommend one in your area.
01:33:00.280 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:33:02.100 Welcome, Alan Dershowitz.
01:33:03.800 How are you, sir?
01:33:05.500 I'm doing great.
01:33:06.620 How are you?
01:33:08.220 I'm good.
01:33:09.200 So, did I get this right?
01:33:10.860 You're talking about now that the Supreme Court might start leaning towards security over
01:33:16.440 free speech in the coming years.
01:33:20.500 Yeah.
01:33:20.820 Look, I pride myself on never.
01:33:23.000 It does.
01:33:23.880 I pride myself on never making predictions based on what I want to happen.
01:33:28.940 That's what Lawrence Tribe does.
01:33:30.800 That's what others on the left do.
01:33:32.740 And that's why they're always wrong.
01:33:34.340 I make predictions based on my analysis of trends.
01:33:37.520 This is not a trend I approve of, but it's a trend I see coming.
01:33:42.420 I see coming it in the area of defamation.
01:33:45.180 I see it coming in the area of incitement.
01:33:48.420 I think that the Brandenburg decision was written during a time of relative calm, and
01:33:54.180 we weren't seeing the kinds of incitements to violence that we saw that probably led to
01:34:00.340 the burning of Jews in Boulder, Colorado, and the shooting of these two innocent people
01:34:06.140 in Washington, D.C., and other kinds of things.
01:34:10.480 Look, I have a lot of experience with this.
01:34:12.620 Hang on just a second.
01:34:13.820 You just said, and I find this amazing that you said, you just said it happened in a time
01:34:19.920 of relative calm.
01:34:20.800 It was 1969 that this case came down to the Supreme Court, if I'm not mistaken, which is
01:34:26.400 not really a calm year.
01:34:27.460 But can you explain what the Brandenburg case is?
01:34:32.180 Sure.
01:34:32.800 What it was?
01:34:33.100 Brandenburg was a Nazi who was making horrible, horrible speeches, but he wasn't inciting anybody
01:34:40.940 directly.
01:34:41.940 And the Nazis in those days had no influence, no power.
01:34:45.780 They weren't getting people to do things.
01:34:47.360 The people who were creating problems then were during the Vietnam War, people from the
01:34:52.480 left.
01:34:52.740 I represented a lot of them, and I represented people who disrupted the Democratic Convention
01:34:59.080 in 1968, the Chicago 7, and other people like that.
01:35:04.140 And I saw with my own eyes that some of these people who started as disruptors and violent
01:35:10.400 confrontationists and people pushing and shoving and, you know, breaking property and stuff
01:35:18.260 like that ultimately became murderers like Kathy Boudin, who ended up being responsible
01:35:23.320 for the killing of two policemen, or the Weathermen who planted bombs and killed people.
01:35:30.740 And then their leaders became, you know, prominent spokesmen of the left, professors in various
01:35:37.320 places.
01:35:37.760 So I saw that, and what I'm seeing now is a different kind of quantity.
01:35:46.220 And what we're seeing is with the, you know, globalize the Intifada and Palestine will be
01:35:52.140 free from the river to the sea.
01:35:53.100 Those are calls for violence.
01:35:55.360 And under the current Brandenburg case, they're protected speech.
01:35:59.020 I think they should still be protected speech.
01:36:01.620 But my view, my prediction is that when the next case comes up to the Supreme Court, this
01:36:07.740 Supreme Court, I think they may take a more security-oriented point of view and say, wait a minute,
01:36:15.380 the incitement doesn't have to be so direct.
01:36:18.360 It could be a little bit more indirect and let the jury decide that issue.
01:36:22.700 So I'm concerned about that.
01:36:24.720 You know, in my book, The Preventive State, I have a whole chapter on free speech and how
01:36:30.300 free speech can sometimes cause violence, but that it's not proper to deny free speech in
01:36:37.960 order to prevent violence.
01:36:39.220 We have to think of better ways of preventing violence.
01:36:42.200 And in the Preventive State, I come up, I think, with better ways than constraining free speech.
01:36:48.300 Because I really, I'm with you on this.
01:36:50.940 This really disturbs me.
01:36:52.480 When I read this article from you yesterday, the story from you yesterday, I needed to talk to you
01:36:57.900 because I'm like, this is horrible.
01:37:00.340 This goes beyond cancel culture.
01:37:04.560 This is now the government being able to come in and say, nope, right, that's really bad.
01:37:12.700 Yeah.
01:37:13.360 Look, there are so many preventive mechanisms we use that have effects on free speech, even
01:37:17.440 deportation.
01:37:19.840 Deportation obviously denies the deported person the right to speak freely in this country.
01:37:25.860 Now, of course, under the Constitution, a citizen has the most free speech rights,
01:37:30.400 a green card holder second most, visa holders almost know free speech rights.
01:37:35.060 They can be deported if they say things that are contrary to the interests of the United
01:37:39.340 States.
01:37:39.760 They're just guests in the country.
01:37:41.800 And so, you know, I think we're going to see a lot, lots of movement in this area because
01:37:49.440 we're going to see a lot more violence.
01:37:51.560 Let me tell you what happened to me.
01:37:52.880 But the day before the killings in the District of Columbia, this one Christian boy and Jewish
01:38:00.200 woman who were killed working for the embassy, the day after that, I was getting an honorary
01:38:05.840 degree at a college in Florida.
01:38:08.600 And the security people from the college came up to me and said, we're terrified that there
01:38:12.580 might be a copycat attempt to kill you because you're a prominent spokesman for pro-Israel
01:38:20.160 points of view.
01:38:21.180 And so they created a whole security thing around me where they created an escape plan.
01:38:27.760 They had policemen with machine guns and with bulletproof glass to protect me.
01:38:34.020 And I have redoubled my security.
01:38:37.820 And I think we're going to see more copycat crimes.
01:38:40.400 I think that Hamas wants to see violence in the United States.
01:38:44.700 That's their goal, to get more people to kill Jews, Christians, and others in the United
01:38:51.540 States.
01:38:52.100 And I think they're probably going to succeed unless there are some preventive steps that
01:38:55.580 are taken.
01:38:56.320 Now, the preventive steps should not include diminutions of legitimate free speech under
01:39:01.880 the Constitution.
01:39:02.600 I tell you, I see what the government is doing and how AI in Silicon Valley is playing a big
01:39:11.880 role with the Pentagon and CIA and everything else.
01:39:15.620 And I am really, really concerned.
01:39:18.240 If there is another big event like a 9-11, I fear Americans are just going to run to that
01:39:25.440 kind of stuff.
01:39:25.940 And then we're in a trap that I don't think we get out of.
01:39:28.340 Yeah, but that's what history shows.
01:39:31.300 And in my book, The Preventer State, I show that there's a common phenomenon.
01:39:35.940 We underreact and we don't prevent.
01:39:37.860 We didn't prevent Pearl Harbor.
01:39:39.380 We didn't prevent 9-11.
01:39:41.540 Israel didn't prevent October 7th.
01:39:43.660 Then what happened?
01:39:44.740 After we failed to prevent Pearl Harbor, we put 110,000 innocent Japanese Americans in
01:39:51.140 camps in order to prevent them from doing it again.
01:39:53.900 They never would have done it again.
01:39:54.940 We overreacted.
01:39:55.920 After 9-11, we created the Patriot Act, which gave the government too much power to prevent
01:40:03.080 a recurrence of that.
01:40:04.780 And, you know, reasonably disagree about Israel, but a lot of people think that Israel, for
01:40:09.760 failure to prevent October 7th, which they could have done, they had the intelligence,
01:40:13.780 may have overreacted in Gaza.
01:40:16.460 I'm not agreeing with that.
01:40:17.700 I'm just telling you, historically, there's a phenomenon.
01:40:20.580 It starts with under-prediction and ends up with overreaction to the event that was not
01:40:27.140 predicted and prevented.
01:40:28.300 That's one of the theses of my book.
01:40:31.880 So what should we expect and how do we prepare ourselves so we don't go down that road?
01:40:39.780 Well, first of all, we do a lot more preparation and prevention.
01:40:46.520 We try desperately to use what the resources are available.
01:40:50.760 I'll give you an example.
01:40:52.420 The young man who burned those people in Boulder, Colorado, he was here illegally.
01:40:59.940 He had overstayed his visa.
01:41:02.040 There's nothing wrong with using artificial intelligence and computer technology to keep
01:41:07.920 track of people who are here illegally.
01:41:10.340 And once he overstayed his visa, action could have been taken.
01:41:14.440 And maybe this crime could have been prevented.
01:41:17.120 So I think there are preventive steps that are consistent with the Constitution with free
01:41:21.700 speech that can be taken to avoid the cataclysmic events.
01:41:26.140 I'll give you another horrible example that we're working on right now.
01:41:30.560 Now, should the United States and Israel bomb Iran's nuclear facilities?
01:41:37.760 We know they're planning to create an atomic bomb.
01:41:40.340 And we know that in the 1930s, if France and England had prevented Germany from building
01:41:46.860 up its army, they would have saved 50 million lives.
01:41:49.280 But we didn't know it then.
01:41:50.920 And so these are the kinds of preventive decisions.
01:41:54.600 But there's no free lunch.
01:41:56.160 Every preventive decision entails some diminution of liberty.
01:41:59.680 And, you know, Benjamin Franklin was correct when he said those who would deny essential
01:42:05.340 liberties to secure a little bit more security deserve neither.
01:42:08.920 But the question is, can we deny a little bit of non-essential liberty to prevent major
01:42:15.220 cataclysmic events?
01:42:16.440 I'll give you an example.
01:42:17.660 If before 9-11 we had arrested 10 people and prevented 9-11 and four of the people arrested
01:42:23.460 were improperly arrested and spent two months in jail improperly, that's probably a trade-off
01:42:28.420 that's worth it.
01:42:32.520 What are non-essential liberties?
01:42:36.780 Well, there's a continuum.
01:42:38.460 Obviously, free speech is the most essential liberty.
01:42:43.380 Privacy is a matter of degree.
01:42:44.980 And, you know, keeping track of people who are here illegally does in some way invade their
01:42:52.880 right of privacy, but in a small way, because they really don't have a right to be there
01:42:58.000 at all.
01:42:58.460 Liberty is a continuum.
01:43:00.220 And we have to make sure that we don't go after fundamental liberties as I think,
01:43:05.640 look, what could be worse than putting 110,000 Japanese Americans in camps and denying them
01:43:10.940 their right to earn a living?
01:43:11.900 We did that for three years in the Supreme Court with liberal justices.
01:43:16.900 Earl Warren was the governor of California at the time.
01:43:19.380 Hugo Black was on the Supreme Court.
01:43:21.220 They all agreed with that.
01:43:23.380 Only a couple of justices, Justice Jackson, didn't agree with it.
01:43:28.000 But Americans were outraged at Pearl Harbor as they were outraged at 9-11.
01:43:32.400 And when you're outraged, you don't think carefully.
01:43:36.340 I know.
01:43:38.380 And that's a little terrifying.
01:43:40.360 Just looking at what's coming around the world and then seeing the growth of AI and
01:43:47.340 what can be done, it's a little frightening that we will jump immediately to, yes, we need
01:43:54.060 a super-duper Patriot Act.
01:43:56.380 Yeah, no, I think that's right.
01:43:57.740 We need a super-duper Patriot Act that denies free speech.
01:44:00.840 That's the first thing, because people hate free speech.
01:44:03.820 You know, the vast majority of Americans, even though they claim to support the First
01:44:08.960 Amendment, believe in free speech for me, but not for thee.
01:44:12.440 I used to, when I taught my class on the First Amendment, I would ask students, how many
01:44:15.720 people believe free speech for everybody?
01:44:17.340 And everybody would raise their hand.
01:44:18.840 And then I would say, but what about pornography?
01:44:20.900 Well, some hands went down.
01:44:23.240 What about, and then I would do a lot, what about anti-Semitism?
01:44:26.580 Some hands would go down.
01:44:27.860 What about the bigotry against Catholics?
01:44:30.300 Some hands would go down.
01:44:31.400 By the end of the class, there were no hands up.
01:44:33.740 Everybody had an exception.
01:44:38.220 Alan, hold on for one minute.
01:44:39.700 I want to talk to you a little bit about Harvard and what's going on there and what you
01:44:44.000 think is coming for Harvard and out of all of this.
01:44:47.440 It's 60 seconds back with Alan Dershowitz in just a second.
01:44:51.240 The sponsor is Good Ranchers.
01:44:53.260 When's the last time you look forward to dinner?
01:44:55.260 And I don't mean out of habit.
01:44:56.400 I mean, I actually felt excited like you used to when steak night meant something, you know,
01:45:00.040 when the smell hit the pan and people drifted in the kitchen without being called.
01:45:04.180 It's amazing what good meat can do.
01:45:06.420 Good fish, good chicken.

01:45:59.260 Station ID.
01:45:59.700 So, I mean, you were the youngest full professor at Harvard, at the law school.
01:46:15.100 You're emeritus now at Harvard.
01:46:17.340 What do you see happening to Harvard and this war, this battle between the Trump administration
01:46:24.960 and Harvard?
01:46:25.540 Look, it started way before the Trump administration.
01:46:29.360 Harvard started on its decline probably more than a decade ago by adopting DEI, diversity,
01:46:36.260 equity, and inclusion, which lowered standards for admission, lowered standards for faculty,
01:46:41.220 and turned us into a mediocre university.
01:46:44.020 We are a mediocre university, Harvard.
01:46:46.720 The Latin term shouldn't be veritas.
01:46:50.300 It should be mediocritas.
01:46:52.980 We have lowered our standards.
01:46:55.540 This is not about Jews or about Israel.
01:46:58.480 This is about lowering the standards for DEI.
01:47:01.400 We've also adopted a concept called intersectionality, which says that the world's divided into two
01:47:08.560 groups, the oppressors.
01:47:09.760 Those are Americans, whites, Jews, and the oppressed, people of color, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
01:47:14.460 That's permeated the faculty.
01:47:17.800 Third, we've created these crazy departments of gender studies, of critical race theory, of
01:47:25.520 Southeast Asian this, and these programs are not academic.
01:47:31.960 They're political.
01:47:32.580 They have agendas, and they have destroyed the university, and so I think we need to fundamentally
01:47:41.920 root out these hard-left, polemical, non-academic causes.
01:47:50.320 And, of course, there's anti-Semitism as well.
01:47:52.800 And so I generally support giving Harvard a kick in the rear end.
01:47:57.960 I have a new book coming out after my book, The Preventive State, in the summer, and it's
01:48:02.020 called Trump to Harvard, Go Fund Yourself.
01:48:05.460 And it's all about how it's important to have targeted defunding.
01:48:11.840 Schools like the Divinity School, the Divinity School, the school that teaches Christianity,
01:48:15.940 has become the cesspool of anti-Semitism, the public health department, a cesspool of
01:48:22.520 anti-Semitism, the Carr Center for Human Rights has become a place of human wrongs.
01:48:27.000 So there's a lot of work to be done, but it should be targeted.
01:48:30.800 We shouldn't be denying visas to everybody.
01:48:33.140 We should be denying them to people who would come in and cause terrible disruptions on the
01:48:38.180 campus.
01:48:38.680 So there's a lot of work to be done, and the president of Harvard is a good person.
01:48:43.680 He's trying his best, but there are hard-left people on the faculty who care more about
01:48:49.620 promoting their progressive agendas than about teaching students.
01:48:53.320 You know, in 60 years at Harvard, I never once expressed a personal view in class.
01:48:57.520 Never once.
01:48:58.100 Students didn't know what my views were on capital punishment, on Israel, you name it.
01:49:02.320 None of them.
01:49:03.120 I never expressed a personal view in class.
01:49:05.500 My job was not to teach them what to think, but to teach them how to think.
01:49:08.860 If they were conservative, I want them to go out as a smarter conservative.
01:49:12.140 If they were liberal, I wanted to be a better liberal.
01:49:14.460 So that's my job, but that's not what's going on at Harvard today.
01:49:17.840 Today, it's becoming a place of indoctrination and propaganda.
01:49:22.960 What do you say to this big thing going around now that, you know, I was just a year away
01:49:28.560 from curing, you know, tuberculosis, and the government pulled all of its funding out
01:49:33.800 of my Harvard research, and now these children are all going to die.
01:49:37.920 How do you respond to that?
01:49:40.480 Yeah.
01:49:40.980 First, A, it's an overstatement.
01:49:42.900 Harvard is $53 billion that it can devote to curing cancer.
01:49:48.300 But clearly, I mean, for example, one of the first reactions when they cut off the funds
01:49:53.860 from Harvard research was one of the researchers made an announcement saying, oh, my God, the
01:49:58.220 mice are now going to die.
01:49:59.520 We can't afford to feed the mice.
01:50:01.060 You know how much it costs to feed a mice on a given day?
01:50:02.940 But 11 cents, 11 cents a day to feed a mouse, and so there's a lot of overstatement, but
01:50:09.680 I do think that we have to have only targeted, and we should not be cutting back on research
01:50:14.900 at all.
01:50:16.560 Alan Dershowitz, I'd love to do a podcast with you, Alan, about the preventative state.
01:50:21.560 Sure.
01:50:21.800 You're always right on top of it.
01:50:23.900 Thank you so much, Alan Dershowitz.
01:50:25.500 Again, the name of the book is The Preventative State, Harvard Law School professor emeritus and
01:50:30.180 host of The Dershow, back in a minute with Chip Roy.
01:50:34.420 This is Glenn Beck.
01:50:39.660 One of the most important parts of your home is the gutters, and when they're clean and
01:50:43.400 working, you don't think about them.
01:50:44.860 They're just there, you know, insulation in the walls of the flooring beneath the carpet.
01:50:48.540 I mean, you know, but if you neglect those gutters, things can get ugly really fast.
01:50:53.260 Maybe it starts with a little clog, no big deal, and then the next storm hits and the
01:50:56.940 water starts pouring over the side and into areas it's not supposed to go.
01:50:59.980 The next thing you know, old Jed's not a millionaire, you're looking at a foundational
01:51:04.360 damage, you're looking at mold, landscape, washout, all from something that was supposed
01:51:08.420 to just move water from point A to point B.
01:51:10.680 How hard can that be?
01:51:12.220 Well, leaf filter doesn't just patch the problem.
01:51:14.860 They fix it permanently.
01:51:16.360 Their team comes in, they clean out the existing gutters, they seal them, they realign them,
01:51:21.120 and then they install their patented micro mesh system, which keeps everything out except
01:51:25.820 the water you want gone.
01:51:27.160 No pine needles, no leaves, no gunk, just smooth water flow, and you'll never have to
01:51:32.560 clean your gutters out again.

01:52:16.220 So, last month, the big, beautiful bill cleared the House by a single vote.
01:52:23.520 The senators now have been meeting for weeks behind closed doors.
01:52:28.360 They returned to Washington late Monday.
01:52:30.900 They revised the package.
01:52:33.440 Donald Trump just tweeted out, passing the one big, beautiful bill is a historic opportunity
01:52:37.900 to turn our country around.
01:52:39.960 They need to work as fast as they can to get this bill to my desk before the 4th of July.
01:52:45.960 Then you have Elon Musk saying, the massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending
01:52:50.380 bill is a disgusting abomination.
01:52:53.120 Shame on those who voted for it.
01:52:54.740 You know you did wrong.
01:52:56.280 You know it.
01:52:57.440 Mike Johnson then says, well, that was disappointing.
01:53:00.580 With all due respect, Elon Musk is my friend, and he's terribly wrong about the one big, beautiful
01:53:06.380 bill.
01:53:06.840 My gosh, my head hurts from all of this.
01:53:09.600 Now the White House is sending an additional $9 billion in cuts, which is nice, but we were
01:53:16.060 hoping for like $1 trillion in cuts, and everybody's arguing over $9 billion in cuts.
01:53:23.720 How is this thing going to even pass?
01:53:27.300 What is happening here?
01:53:29.760 We have Chip Roy, who voted for the last one reluctantly, and I don't know where he stands
01:53:37.240 now.
01:53:37.860 Chip Roy, welcome to the program.
01:53:39.440 How are you, Chip?
01:53:40.900 Glenn, how you doing, brother?
01:53:43.340 I'm good.
01:53:44.220 I'm good.
01:53:44.720 It must not be fun being you right now.
01:53:49.520 Well, you know, here's the thing.
01:53:51.500 When you have a reputation for trying to do the right thing, people do, I think, want to
01:53:56.100 come to you to try to figure out, all right, like, what's the score here?
01:53:58.480 What's the real deal?
01:53:59.780 I'm proud that I think people see me as someone who tries to be honest and kind of, you know,
01:54:04.380 work through this to achieve what you and I, I think, and all your listeners want to
01:54:07.800 achieve.
01:54:08.320 We have an obligation to get this done, but we have to get it done right.
01:54:12.980 You said thank you for saying that I voted for it reluctantly, because I did reluctantly
01:54:17.400 vote for it.
01:54:18.020 My messaging at the time was reluctant.
01:54:20.540 We have to weigh a lot of things right now.
01:54:22.620 We have a president who was given a mandate, a president that you and I support what he's
01:54:27.320 doing, taking on the establishment, taking on this town, you know, rooting out all this
01:54:32.220 DEI and woke garbage, you know, pushing the barriers, you know, securing the border, all
01:54:37.200 the things that we know are happening.
01:54:39.540 And we need to do certain things in this bill.
01:54:42.200 We do need tax relief.
01:54:43.920 We do need to extend the tax cuts.
01:54:46.120 We need economic growth by putting more money in the hands and the pockets of Americans.
01:54:51.060 Those are all important things, but we've got to cut spending.
01:54:54.000 And the swamp creatures in Congress aren't good at that.
01:54:57.520 People like me have been beating our head against the wall, trying to demonstrate, hey, here's
01:55:00.780 what we need to do, here's how we need to cut.
01:55:02.820 So now we've got to balance this thing.
01:55:05.240 The reason I was reluctant is because it does do some really good things that we bled and
01:55:10.000 fought for for two months, Glenn.
01:55:11.700 I mean, the week before last, we were like three straight days going down and negotiating
01:55:15.560 with the White House, negotiating with folks.
01:55:17.620 And what we got was good.
01:55:19.420 Was it great?
01:55:20.300 No, it was good.
01:55:21.920 We got the Inflation Reduction Act Green News scam.
01:55:24.820 We got a full repeal of basically all future projects.
01:55:28.240 But no, we don't deal with the $400 billion of existing projects.
01:55:32.660 We got historic Medicaid reductions.
01:55:35.240 Reductions in the increases, yes, but a trillion dollars worth.
01:55:38.620 That's never been done, Glenn, literally.
01:55:41.000 But is that good enough for the moment?
01:55:43.000 Maybe not.
01:55:43.880 I think we needed to do better on FMAP and provider taxes and all of the things about
01:55:47.760 the vulnerable versus the able-bodied.
01:55:49.740 We got Medicaid work requirements moved up from 29 to 26.
01:55:52.840 We fought like hell to make the bill something that I think we could be proud of certain elements.
01:55:59.700 But Elon's not wrong, okay?
01:56:02.220 Elon's not wrong that for the moment, we need to do better.
01:56:05.660 We need more spending restraint.
01:56:07.380 We need to meet this moment with the actual deficit reduction that is necessary.
01:56:12.520 If we get economic growth from the taxes, if we get economic growth from the regulatory policy,
01:56:17.400 if we get economic growth because the president is strong and leading, then we can get out of this mess.
01:56:23.020 But it is that plus spending restraint.
01:56:25.060 Last point.
01:56:26.200 I do think it is worth noting that I'm not sure that Elon is really excited about the extent to which we are killing the subsidies across the board.
01:56:37.040 All future subsidies for EVs, for solar panels, for the wind crap, all future subsidies we are mostly killing.
01:56:45.420 There's a few lingering projects, but we tightened it down.
01:56:47.660 The left is losing their damn mind, Glenn.
01:56:49.920 So there is a little of that that's also at play.
01:56:52.960 So that's a long-winded explanation.
01:56:55.240 A lot to do.
01:56:56.020 We're pushing the Senate.
01:56:57.080 They need to go further.
01:56:58.440 I think we need to fix some stuff.
01:57:00.180 But I can promise you this, Glenn.
01:57:02.000 If this bill backslides, if they walk off of what we got, which I don't even think is necessarily good enough,
01:57:08.420 I can promise you I will oppose it in the House.
01:57:10.960 So we'll see what the Senate does.
01:57:12.580 Your speculation on what they're going to do, are they making it worse right now?
01:57:21.040 Is it getting better?
01:57:22.960 I think there are forces at play that are desperately trying to undo the benefits we got with respect to repealing the Green New Scam subsidies,
01:57:33.540 which, by the way, the President of the United States campaigned fully and clearly on terminating the Green New Scam subsidies.
01:57:40.640 There are forces in the Senate who want to undo that.
01:57:43.980 There are forces in the House who regret voting for those subsidy terminations.
01:57:48.220 I think there are forces in the Senate who are wary of some of our Medicaid reforms,
01:57:55.340 which were important on work requirements, on eligibility, to tighten down and make sure that, you know,
01:58:01.380 we're trying to make sure the able-bodied aren't getting benefits, et cetera.
01:58:05.220 I don't think it went far enough.
01:58:06.660 So we're going to have to work hard just to hold the line at the House bill, which, Glenn, I would say is on the edge of whether it's good enough to merit moving forward
01:58:17.640 and then hope we get three yards in a cloud of dust.
01:58:19.860 First, I will tell you that if we can repeal the IRA subsidies, get the Medicaid reforms, constrain the spending and get the economic growth in the tax policy,
01:58:29.080 that net it is moving the ball down the field.
01:58:32.160 That's why I held my nose.
01:58:33.840 But if we were a truly conservative Congress, we would cut more.
01:58:37.520 That's just the truth.
01:58:38.320 So I read all kinds of things from the banking sector that we're talking about, our Treasury bills, that we are so dangerously close.
01:58:51.280 You raise the debt ceiling yet again.
01:58:54.280 We are dangerously close to the rest of the world saying, I can't buy their debt anymore.
01:58:59.480 I mean, they're not serious about anything.
01:59:01.940 Do you believe we're that close?
01:59:04.000 Yeah, I believe we're on a knife's edge.
01:59:09.440 I think that the bond markets are signaling that.
01:59:12.220 I think this is why Scott Besson has been saying we need to get deficits down as a percentage of GDP so we can signal to the bond markets what needs to be signaled.
01:59:20.780 I think that we have an obligation to get this right right now in order to, frankly,
01:59:27.540 So why isn't anybody listening to that?
01:59:29.900 Why isn't anybody listening to Besson and to the bond market?
01:59:34.960 That's lights out for America if we don't get that right.
01:59:39.080 Yeah, and let me give you another scary point, right?
01:59:42.160 If we are having to refinance our debts at higher interest rates, which currently we would be projecting, much higher interest rates than the CBO is even projecting.
01:59:52.180 Putting aside the CBO, we all recognize that they're flawed.
01:59:54.780 It doesn't matter.
01:59:55.360 You've got to just look at the model that's in front of you.
01:59:56.880 The current model projects refinancing that debt at 3.5%.
02:00:00.960 But what if we have to refinance it at the historic levels of 4%, 4.5%, 5%, right?
02:00:06.880 We would have massively more interest expense.
02:00:09.800 Instead of a trillion, it'd be a trillion and a half.
02:00:11.840 Instead of a trillion and a half, it'd be 2 trillion.
02:00:13.700 We are going to gobble up our entire government expenditure with interest.
02:00:19.000 I mean, Glenn, it is that bad.
02:00:20.620 And here's the problem.
02:00:22.420 Is Congress finally waking up to what you and I and the Freedom Caucus conservatives have been saying now for a decade plus?
02:00:30.060 Yes.
02:00:30.500 They're realizing that we're in a real bad spot.
02:00:33.080 So all that's doing is getting them to come to the table to do the bare minimum, right?
02:00:37.800 The Medicaid reforms, the Inflation Reduction Act subsidies, the food stamp reforms, the other things we just put in this bill, all of which are good, but not as far as I would go.
02:00:48.800 I'll just be clear for your listeners.
02:00:50.880 They're finally getting to the table to accept that, and they're getting there too late.
02:00:54.660 So now what I'm saying is we need to be doing more.
02:00:57.800 Let's talk about the rescissions for a second.
02:00:59.700 The president is sending up rescissions, and yes, it's just $9 billion.
02:01:03.780 The reason it's that small amount, and so everybody listening out there, why does this matter?
02:01:08.540 The reconciliation package can pass the Senate with 51 votes.
02:01:13.120 The normal appropriations process, which we still have to do this year, will require 60 votes in the Senate, right?
02:01:19.640 So that means it's going to be hard to get through Democrats.
02:01:22.060 So this rescissions process is a way to try to cut some of these ridiculous programs, like USAID and other things, using a 51-vote threshold.
02:01:33.640 So that is why we're trying to move it that way.
02:01:37.740 The reason it's just a smaller $9 billion number is it's a test case.
02:01:42.320 Will Congress do its job and do this first down payment, a $9 billion rescission of PBS, NPR, and a bunch of those USAID foreign government funding, foreign aid wasteful programs?
02:01:59.200 You have to.
02:01:59.760 And now we'll see.
02:02:00.680 I'll, of course, vote for that.
02:02:01.800 You know I will.
02:02:02.360 You don't have to.
02:02:02.940 But will the moderates?
02:02:04.520 We'll find out.
02:02:05.320 If they do, we'll get another rescissions package sent up right after that.
02:02:09.580 So this is all part of the process, working with Russ Vogt, the OMB, the president.
02:02:13.460 Sorry, I don't mean to filibuster, but that's the update.
02:02:16.020 Jim, speak about the process a little bit, because it's fascinating to watch this bill try to make its way through all of this.
02:02:22.760 At least my estimate so far, or my understanding, is there's at least two congressmen who, and one congresswoman, I suppose, who already have said that their vote was a yes, but now it would be a no because they didn't realize what they were voting for, which would already put you under the amount that you need to get it passed.
02:02:44.220 The salt people in the House are saying, if you get rid of salt, we're done, and the Senate is saying we're getting rid of salt or at least adjusting it.
02:02:52.680 How does this thing get across the finish line?
02:02:55.640 Well, I mean, like everything else, you've got to figure out how you navigate to get 218 and to get 51.
02:03:01.980 We've managed to get it to this far.
02:03:04.080 Look, you go to war with the army, you've got it, right?
02:03:06.400 We have the congress that we have.
02:03:08.000 We have the president that we have who's trying to get this done, and we're trying to work to do it.
02:03:11.460 I think we're in the zip code, but we're not where we need to be.
02:03:15.340 So let's take the things you just gave some examples.
02:03:17.920 Are there things in the bill that some of us knew about and were warning about that others are now just kind of waking up and seeing?
02:03:24.720 Yes.
02:03:25.660 At the time, I said, for example, there's a car tax in this bill, you fools.
02:03:31.260 I don't support it.
02:03:33.320 It was a tax to make up for the fact that EVs and hybrids can't pay their fair share of the gas tax.
02:03:39.680 They needed $40 billion to pay for some Coast Guard and other stuff.
02:03:43.900 So how did they pay for it in the committee?
02:03:46.160 What they did was they added a car tax for EVs and for hybrids.
02:03:52.100 Now, do you think that we conservatives of limited government views believe we should have a car tax?
02:03:59.980 I sure as hell don't.
02:04:00.720 How about the AI restrictions?
02:04:04.300 Should we prohibit Florida and should we prohibit Texas from being able to have some sort of regulation on AI?
02:04:11.440 From a federalism standpoint, I'm not sure we should.
02:04:14.160 So there's lots of things in this bill that I knew all this was telling people about it.
02:04:19.040 But, man, there's only like 40 fights you can pick.
02:04:21.280 Like, my fight was, you're going to repeal these damned subsidies on the Inflation Reduction Act that are killing our grid, undermining our national security, and destroying natural gas and nuclear energy options.
02:04:34.760 My fight was trying to get Medicaid held down.
02:04:37.440 About 20 other fights.
02:04:38.820 For example, the car tax.
02:04:40.160 Scott Perry and I and a couple of others, we at least killed the tax on the internal combustion engines.
02:04:45.120 They weren't going to have a car tax on every car in America, y'all.
02:04:48.180 So, look, we're fighting everything we've got coming at us.
02:04:51.700 There are things that need to get fixed.
02:04:53.420 To answer your question, if they need to adjust SALT, I might try to call the bluff of the guys in the SALT caucus and say, really?
02:05:01.380 You're going to vote this down because you didn't get more subsidies for your great big blue state tax jurisdictions?
02:05:07.160 Right?
02:05:07.500 But if they want to try to call our bluff, I can tell you if they repeal back the Inflation Reduction Act stuff, which the president campaigned on, then that's going to be a real problem.
02:05:16.480 So we will see.
02:05:17.720 It is a fine line, and I'm trying to work with leadership, the White House, to deliver as close to my values as I can and be able to look in the mirror and say that I did enough.
02:05:29.880 And I'm not sure, gentlemen.
02:05:31.400 I'm always trying to shoot straight.
02:05:33.140 We're walking a line.
02:05:34.500 It could easily peel off and I can't support it.
02:05:36.760 It could move in the right direction, and I'll support it and say, let's go fight tomorrow for the next thing.
02:05:41.240 I'm trying to work in good faith with the president and his team to deliver.
02:05:45.380 There's a lot of good things in this bill.
02:05:46.900 Let's remember that.
02:05:48.320 A trillion dollars of real Medicaid reforms.
02:05:50.660 We've never done that before, guys, ever.
02:05:53.060 Right?
02:05:53.460 The Inflation Reduction Act, Planned Parenthood not funded, trans surgeries repealed for adults and kids to defund that.
02:06:01.440 The left had gone so far.
02:06:03.260 We're peeling a lot of that back.
02:06:04.560 So let's remember the good stuff while we're trying to, you know, highlight some of our concerns.
02:06:09.540 Chip, you're very reasoned, and I really appreciate talking to you, and I really am so glad that you are representing the great state of Texas.
02:06:19.200 You're a guy that at least I feel I can trust.
02:06:22.900 You know, you say what you mean, and you mean what you say, and that is the number one thing I look for in a representative, is somebody who will say the same thing to me, to my face, as they will behind closed doors.
02:06:34.140 And I really appreciate all your hard work on this.
02:06:36.280 Thanks, Chip.
02:06:37.760 Hey, I appreciate it, Glenn.
02:06:39.100 And thank you for exposing all this to the American people and being truthful about it.
02:06:42.400 Like, because this is hard for people like us, because you want to be with the team to move the ball down the field.
02:06:47.380 We want to succeed.
02:06:48.280 We want to win.
02:06:49.400 But you also don't want to be – you don't want to eat a crap sandwich.
02:06:51.720 So, look, I promise you I will level set the good and the bad and the ugly, and then you just have to decide what's the best for the country and vote and move forward.
02:07:00.540 So, that's where we are.
02:07:01.960 Next time it starts to move forward, you just – you call in and you let us know what's in it.
02:07:06.940 Okay?
02:07:07.120 Just make sure you get a hold of me.
02:07:08.220 As soon as you start to see things moving forward, you let us know, because I appreciate your point of view on that.
02:07:13.900 Thanks, Chip.
02:07:14.920 We live in a world obsessed with voices shouting to be heard, to be validated, to matter.
02:07:19.100 But there is a whole group of human beings that never get that chance, who never get to speak, who never even get to breathe.
02:07:24.960 The hardest part is the numbers are not going down.
02:07:29.120 Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortions in America have actually increased.
02:07:35.080 Last year alone, over a million unborn children lost their lives.
02:07:39.040 That's more than a million heartbeats that never got to be heard.
02:07:42.800 And that number is way, way up.
02:07:45.680 Pre-born exists to change all of that.
02:07:47.480 They operate in clinics where most abortions happen, and they offer compassionate care, free ultrasounds, and a moment of connection between mom and her baby, because when she hears that heartbeat, everything changes.
02:07:59.680 Last year, Pre-born helped save over 67,000 babies.
02:08:03.020 We've got to do better than that.
02:08:04.300 And they really could use your help.
02:08:06.460 If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?
02:08:10.300 Your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Pre-born's entire network for 24 hours, helping to rescue 200 babies.
02:08:18.080 To donate, just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, that's pound 250, keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash beck.
02:08:25.220 That's preborn.com slash beck.
02:08:27.640 Sponsored by Pre-born.
02:08:29.040 You know, truth makes the left so mad.
02:08:35.160 And right about now, they're all losing their minds.
02:08:39.320 We must be doing something right.
02:08:42.160 Stick around.
02:08:43.600 Beck will continue right after this.
02:08:45.460 Do you take fish oil?

02:09:06.440 Regular fish oil has some omega-3s, and that's great.

02:10:37.340 We mentioned a couple of the representatives who were saying that they would have voted against this if they knew it was in the bill.
02:10:44.200 Mike Flood is one of them.
02:10:45.840 He said he would change his vote.
02:10:47.420 Marjorie Taylor Greene, the other.
02:10:51.420 Let's call that suboptimal.
02:10:55.760 This is Glenn Beck.
