00:02:15.160 I am on the road this week and and there's a lot going on.

00:02:20.540 The border issue.

00:02:21.900 We begin with the border issue.

00:02:24.660 The the the new war funding that came out.

00:02:29.080 They're calling it a border bill, but it's war funding.

00:02:31.760 Speaking of war, we didn't just lob a few over to towards Iran.

00:02:37.720 We were also with the Houthis, and this is just the beginning, according to the Pentagon.

00:02:44.080 We're giving Ukraine money.

00:02:45.980 We're giving an awful lot of money, 15, 14 billion dollars to Iran.

00:02:51.660 I'm sorry, to Israel.

00:02:53.760 But the good news is we're also giving 10 billion to the other side.

00:04:17.640 Well, hello and welcome.

00:04:19.900 I'm glad you're here today.

00:04:21.180 Stu, welcome.

00:04:22.780 There's a lot going on.

00:04:24.620 Let me start with the border news over the weekend.

00:04:27.220 It continued to heat up, and let me just give you a few of the touch points here.

00:04:30.860 More governors traveled to the Texas-Mexico border on Sunday to show their solidarity with Governor Abbott and the federal government.

00:04:38.720 Speeches were given directly at Ground Zero, and the media is dubbing it Civil War 2.0.

00:04:44.840 So, they were surrounded by the Texas National Guard, military vehicles, loads of razor wire,

00:04:50.380 right in Shelby Park at Eagle Pass, Texas.

00:04:53.500 Now, over on the federal level, the Senate appears to have come to an agreement on,

00:05:00.040 they say it's a border bill, but we'll get into the details here in a second.

00:05:03.640 It's actually a multi-billion dollar war package.

00:05:06.980 Do not be fooled by the name border bill.

00:05:11.480 It's not.

00:05:13.000 Now, it does have some stuff to do with the border, depending on who you talk to.

00:05:16.460 It's both amazing for the border and the worst piece of immigration legislation in history.

00:05:21.380 It's weird how something could be both of those things.

00:05:25.400 Could it also possibly be that all of the border news happening right now is just a song and dance?

00:05:33.240 Could it be that no one is actually interested at all in solving the border problem?

00:05:40.780 All the world is but a stage, and we are merely its players.

00:05:45.720 Yes, yes, that's what's happening.

00:05:50.040 For decades now, the border has been enormous political capital for both sides in Washington, D.C.

00:05:57.560 Republicans love it, Democrats love it, and they never really cared about the impacts to our communities and to our states.

00:06:05.320 Why would they suddenly start caring about it now?

00:06:08.460 Well, because it's so bad.

00:06:10.320 So we sent our Blaze Originals documentary team down with the border convoy, and boy, did they learn a lot.

00:06:23.120 They were with the convoy, but the convoy led them to all kinds of other discoveries about the standoff at the border between the state and the feds.

00:06:33.140 We found something shocking that no one is talking about.

00:06:39.580 We're being duped by all sides.

00:06:43.860 Here's one piece I can give you today.

00:06:47.000 Consider this.

00:06:49.100 Did you hear about a secret meeting?

00:06:54.160 Did you hear that while reports of record amounts of illegals were pouring over our border, this was in December,

00:07:00.580 Secretary of State Blinken held a secret meeting with Mexican officials in Mexico City.

00:07:08.480 Now, it was reported that he traveled there, but the full contents of the meeting were not disclosed.

00:07:15.480 We have no idea.

00:07:17.920 Why is that?

00:07:19.560 Was there an agreement that was made?

00:07:22.320 Were concessions handed over?

00:07:25.020 If so, what did we give up?

00:07:27.700 Why isn't this meeting discussed in the media when they talk about Civil War 2.0?

00:07:35.560 Or when the Senate hails a landmark border deal?

00:07:39.540 What happened in Mexico?

00:07:41.880 Could all of this just be a charade for the people?

00:07:46.200 Our Blaze original documentary team might have the real answer for you.

00:07:54.120 The full report is coming out in a couple of weeks, but we will have more on this on our Wednesday night TV special.

00:08:00.600 This is all breaking news in our world.

00:08:05.360 And we'll give you all of the full details as we gather everything and make sure it's all buttoned up.

00:08:12.800 Now, the Senators revealed a $118 billion Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.

00:08:22.780 Wow.

00:08:23.560 So it's an emergency.

00:08:25.960 And it's about national security.

00:08:27.900 So what did we get?

00:08:31.240 Well, $118 billion National Security Supplemental Supplemental Appropriations Act would give $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.

00:08:42.920 Wait, wait, what?

00:08:45.780 So it's $118 billion.

00:08:48.040 Half of it goes to, I thought, wait, wait.

00:08:50.780 Emergency National Security Supplemental Bill.

00:08:54.920 I thought that national emergency was the border.

00:08:59.420 Because wasn't that why he needed emergency powers, the border?

00:09:04.900 So half the money goes to aid Ukraine.

00:09:08.840 They also allocated $20 billion into securing the U.S. southern border.

00:09:14.860 Okay, so say, wait.

00:09:16.540 So three times the amount goes to Ukraine.

00:09:21.000 Also, $20 billion for the border.

00:09:23.920 $14 billion in security assistance to Israel.

00:09:28.080 And just to make it all fair, $10 billion in humanitarian assistance for civilians caught in the conflict zones of Gaza.

00:09:35.300 Oh, well, that's...

00:09:37.100 Okay, wait, what?

00:09:39.140 $4.5 billion, almost $5 billion to support key regional partners in the Indo-Pacific to deter China.

00:09:49.320 $2.5 billion to support U.S. Central Command operations in the Red Sea.

00:09:55.700 $2.3 billion for Ukrainians and other refugees displaced.

00:10:00.160 $400 million for the non-profit security grant program, which helps non-profits in places of worship to make security enhancements.

00:10:10.080 Uh-uh.

00:10:10.900 Uh-uh.

00:10:11.440 It would also require the Department of Homeland Security to nearly shut down the border.

00:10:18.100 Now, listen to this.

00:10:20.760 Nearly shut down the border.

00:10:23.480 What does that mean exactly?

00:10:27.380 Well, it means that we're not going to shut down the border, but nearly do it.

00:10:31.560 Now, not today, but that they can do that if the migrant crossers increase more than 5,000 a day on any given week. 1.00

00:10:44.420 Or if the average daily encounters reach 4,000 people a day in a one-week span.

00:10:52.680 So, if there's 4,000 people for six days, they can't shut down the border.

00:11:00.220 I'm sorry.

00:11:01.060 They can't nearly shut down the border.

00:11:05.120 At a rate of 5,000 illegal immigrants entering the country, that would mean more than 1.8 million illegal aliens would be coming into the country every year.

00:11:13.440 But remember, I haven't gotten to the nearly shut down the border.

00:11:18.400 This is their solution today.

00:11:21.580 To let an additional 2 million people just come across our border.

00:11:25.860 Okay?

00:11:26.160 We're a little sick of the 4 million, I think.

00:11:28.320 We're a little sick.

00:11:29.200 Let's slow it down.

00:11:31.080 Let's just do 2 million.

00:11:33.880 Oh, okay.

00:11:35.300 Now, Chris Murphy, the Democrat from the great state of Connecticut, and I mean that being here, it is a lovely, lovely state.

00:11:46.000 What they've done with the trash is just wonderful.

00:11:50.020 It really is.

00:11:51.260 A requirement of the president to funnel asylum claims to the land ports of entry when more than 5,000 people cross a day.

00:12:00.220 This is what Murphy is saying yesterday on X.

00:12:03.440 The border never closes, but claims must be processed at the ports.

00:12:08.580 This allows for a more and more orderly, humane asylum processing system.

00:12:13.360 So, got that?

00:12:15.220 So, if it's more than 5,000 a day, then they have to be processed at the ports.

00:12:23.380 That's the nearly closing the border.

00:12:28.760 Oh, okay.

00:12:31.060 Well, that sounds really bad.

00:12:36.240 This is what, you know, Lankford came out and he was like, you know, everybody's saying this is much worse than what we said it was going to be.

00:12:43.920 I challenge the people to come up to me and tell me what is worse.

00:12:49.000 Well, you know, he's kind of right.

00:12:50.600 Hey, remember when the media was saying, oh, it has none of that stuff in the bill.

00:12:55.480 Oh, that's an outrage.

00:12:56.620 That is disinformation that those things are in the bill.

00:13:00.520 Yeah.

00:13:01.620 Lankford, it's probably not worse.

00:13:05.660 You've confirmed everything that we said was in it that you all were saying, wait until you find out what's in the bill because that's not in the bill.

00:13:13.100 It's in the bill.

00:13:14.240 Oh, my gosh.

00:13:17.520 You know, with people like Lankford, who needs friends?

00:13:21.600 Seriously.

00:13:22.460 Who needs friends?

00:13:25.940 I'm a little confused.

00:13:27.860 I'm going to have to get with the speaker's team on and to find out what part would be worse than what we had expected based on the actual text.

00:13:36.120 It's not worse.

00:13:37.160 It is the text that we said it was and you said it wasn't.

00:13:42.160 Oh, my God.

00:13:43.480 Stu, can you just take over for a sec?

00:13:45.020 Because I'm going to have an aneurysm over here in the corner.

00:13:47.560 Yeah.

00:13:47.800 I mean, on that point, you're totally right.

00:13:49.540 Like there was this big pushback from these people who are negotiating it.

00:13:53.640 Lankford being key in this in this room saying, oh, you guys are just acting off of rumors.

00:13:59.540 You're acting off of Internet posts.

00:14:00.880 You're acting off of false reporting about what's in this bill.

00:14:04.600 I would never allow this to be in this bill.

00:14:06.880 And then they release the text of the bill.

00:14:09.040 And I mean, to the number, almost every single part of it is exactly what was reported.

00:14:14.560 I mean, it's bizarre.

00:14:16.100 I will say when you when you get to the point of talking about it being worse, I would include this in the worst description.

00:14:23.480 Tell me if you if you agree with this.

00:14:25.240 There is a provision in the bill that would allow the president.

00:14:29.200 Now, you might be you might not know, but Joe Biden is currently the president of the United States.

00:14:34.600 OK, so this would be under his authority.

00:14:37.320 There is a provision in the bill that would allow the president to suspend the shutdown authority.

00:14:42.520 It says, quote, it authorizes the president to suspend the border emergency on an emergency basis for up to 45 days if it's in the national interest.

00:14:52.760 So what do you think happens when we get across this 5000 barrier every time he at least suspends it for 45 days?

00:15:01.100 And God only knows if he can do it consecutively and in perpetuity.

00:15:05.320 That's probably what would wind up happening, though.

00:15:08.480 I'm not sure about that detail.

00:15:10.080 I mean, look, Glenn, you know, you look at the bill and there are things in here that theoretically would make the situation a little bit better.

00:15:17.540 I mean, their asylum, there's asylum improvements that I think could be part of an eventual bill.

00:15:23.560 They say that, yeah, I mean, why even discuss it's a nonstarter because of things like this, according to the bill.

00:15:32.620 If you cross the border illegally, you get arrested and then Department of Homeland Security, they decide that you're entitled to protection.

00:15:42.040 They're now able to give you automatic on automatic employment authorization.

00:15:48.720 Yeah. Until you have your asylum hearing.

00:15:51.420 Now, in addition to that, they say the asylum hearings are going to come faster.

00:15:55.720 So no more 2032 court dates.

00:15:58.300 Do you believe that?

00:16:01.260 I mean, this is the problem.

00:16:03.980 I don't believe that.

00:16:05.000 Now, if they say it's going to supposedly bring this down to months instead of years for asylum, that would be a legitimate improvement as what we have. 0.99

00:16:14.080 I don't think it's by judges.

00:16:15.720 I think it's by the Department of Homeland Security.

00:16:17.980 Is it not?

00:16:18.680 I think it's by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

00:16:22.500 It kind of shifts a lot of it, at least over over there.

00:16:26.080 But again, do I believe that they're going to actually accomplish that?

00:16:29.520 No.

00:16:29.960 They also have tougher asylum requirements.

00:16:32.120 And like, this is a, this could be a legitimate one, Glenn.

00:16:35.760 But like, think about this in a real country that does the things they say they do, right?

00:16:39.780 They say they would include three bars to eligibility, okay?

00:16:44.620 Number one, criminal history.

00:16:46.740 So if you have criminal history, no asylum for you.

00:16:49.180 Okay, totally legitimate.

00:16:50.700 Number two, could they have resettled in another country on the way to the U.S.?

00:16:54.720 Oh, yeah, okay.

00:16:55.740 If you actually implemented that, that would be a great improvement.

00:16:58.480 Number three, could they have resettled somewhere else in their own country?

00:17:02.120 Okay, perfect.

00:17:03.420 Like, yeah, that would be a legitimate thing to do.

00:17:05.880 That would be an improvement over our system.

00:17:07.800 And it would be a rational way to decipher these claims.

00:17:10.680 No one believes they're going to do those things.

00:17:13.500 No one believes that this is actually going to happen.

00:17:16.580 When they're ignoring dozens and dozens of other laws that are already on the books,

00:17:20.840 why would we believe they would suddenly just implement this one part of this one law that would improve the system?

00:17:28.720 And they have no trust from the people, and they have no rational reason to be trusted.

00:17:34.700 And that is a bigger part of this problem.

00:17:37.320 Not to mention, they put in there that the U.S., the president of the United States can just suspend the authority.

00:17:43.240 So, like, at some points they say, well, it's required that they shut the border down.

00:17:47.960 And then at the same time say, well, he's got a 45-day window to supplement this at any point.

00:17:53.720 So, like...

00:17:54.800 Yeah.

00:17:55.280 His emergency power is to shut this bill down at any time.

00:18:01.780 Yeah.

00:18:01.920 If he feels that it's an emergency and in our best interest, he can shut this bill down.

00:18:07.380 We all thought he was saying he needed emergency power to shut the border down.

00:18:11.760 He's not.

00:18:12.520 And their response is, well, he's nearly shutting it down.

00:18:15.620 Right.

00:18:15.960 Only 1.8 million people can come across the border in a year.

00:18:19.360 Now, they are pushing...

00:18:20.040 Only 1.8.

00:18:20.420 They are pushing back against that number.

00:18:22.260 They're...

00:18:22.860 It does...

00:18:23.600 You know, the way they're wording it is that it doesn't mean that they're allowed in.

00:18:27.860 5,000 are not allowed in.

00:18:29.620 They are saying that single adults would be detained and families would be released via

00:18:36.600 ATD, Glenn.

00:18:39.740 Alternatives to detention.

00:18:42.040 Ah!

00:18:42.800 A little old ATD going on.

00:18:44.940 Yeah, a little ATD.

00:18:45.980 But of course, like, to me, even if you're detaining them in the United States, you're still letting 0.96

00:18:51.700 them into the United States.

00:18:54.200 And we're feeding and clothing and caring for people that we shouldn't be feeding, carrying 0.98

00:18:59.100 our clothing.

00:18:59.820 And...

00:19:00.220 I mean, this is just insane.

00:19:01.740 The expansion of the detention capacity is only 16,000.

00:19:06.080 So again, this is a few days under the system.

00:19:08.700 Where else...

00:19:09.180 Then where do people go again?

00:19:10.400 We're going to be in the same crisis situation all over again.

00:19:12.860 All right.

00:19:13.220 Back in just a second with more.

00:19:15.020 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:19:16.660 It's Patriot Mobile.

00:19:18.000 If you haven't made the switch to Patriot Mobile yet, today is the day.

00:19:21.180 There has never been a better time because every day that you spend, every day that you

00:19:26.940 spend one thin dime with big mobile companies, the day you could be saving a ton of money

00:19:33.140 for a service that runs on the same towers as everybody that is just as great as their

00:19:38.080 competitors.

00:19:38.860 So you're never...

00:19:39.820 You get the same service.

00:19:41.820 You get the same coverage.

00:19:43.080 You get better customer service.

00:19:44.760 You get a better price.

00:19:46.400 And you're working with people who are actually trying to save the country, not destroy it.

00:19:52.440 Please, this is the lowest level of ways you can help save your country.

00:19:58.160 Work with the people who actually are doing work, trying to fight all of this crap behind

00:20:04.820 this.

00:20:05.060 They take their profits and they plow it in to programs and to people who are on the ground

00:20:11.320 in your own community, trying to help stop this.

00:20:56.340 So I got a text message from Tucker Carlson last night.

00:21:02.660 He is indeed in Russia.

00:21:05.440 And, you know, he'll tell you about it when he gets back.

00:21:09.280 But he is in Russia.

00:21:10.560 And I got a lot to say about this later on in the program today.

00:21:14.320 All right.

00:21:15.000 So in the bill, 118.28 billion national security supplemental package includes 60 billion support

00:21:22.060 Ukraine.

00:21:22.740 14 billion for Israel.

00:21:25.660 2.4 billion to support operations at the U.S. Central Command and address combat expenditures

00:21:32.300 related to the conflict in the Red Sea.

00:21:34.720 So far, it looks like a war bill.

00:21:38.540 10 billion in humanitarian assistance to provide food, water, shelter, medical care, and other

00:21:43.840 essential services to Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine, and other populations caught in conflict

00:21:49.060 zones across the globe.

00:21:50.680 Wait a minute.

00:21:51.260 Wait a minute.

00:21:52.260 Wait a minute.

00:21:52.680 That seems relatively broad, doesn't it?

00:21:57.700 4.83 billion to support key regional partners in the Indo-Pacific and deter aggression by the Chinese government.

00:22:05.600 2.3 billion to continue support for Ukrainians displaced by Putin's war of aggression and other refugees fleeing persecution.

00:22:13.500 Then we get to the border.

00:22:18.460 Wait.

00:22:19.140 So hold on.

00:22:19.880 All of that in the emergency border bill, and we haven't even gotten to the border yet.

00:22:29.280 Oh, yeah.

00:22:29.780 There's a lot more.

00:22:31.460 We'll give it to you.

00:22:32.940 Coming up in a minute.

00:22:33.940 Stand by.

00:22:39.320 Stand up.

00:22:41.380 Glenn Beck.

00:22:43.500 Wait until you hear how easy it is for you to be deported, too.

00:22:47.920 Woo! 0.99

00:22:48.960 Air cracking down.

00:22:50.440 Daniel wrote in about his dog experiences with rough greens.

00:22:53.300 He says, Finnegan, 12-year-old husky lab who used to sleep most of the day.

00:22:58.040 We had to spike his food every day with a little bit of cheese.

00:23:00.960 Even then, he would eat most of the cheese and not a lot of the food, sometimes for days.

00:23:08.120 I was a bit skeptical about ordering rough greens, but I gave it a try.

00:23:10.900 By a month or so in, Finnegan is incredibly active, and he runs and plays with other dogs.

00:23:15.600 He even chases rabbits and squirrels again.

00:23:17.780 I wish I would have discovered this product years ago.

00:23:20.280 Daniel, I've got to tell you, that is exactly what happened.

00:23:22.960 I only fed it to Uno because I just wanted him to eat his food, and then I saw all these amazing benefits.

00:23:29.080 I know that's not the way they sell it, but that's the truth, at least for my dog.

00:23:32.720 He wouldn't eat.

00:23:34.260 Rough greens, not a dog food.

00:23:35.980 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.

00:23:39.020 You sprinkle it on the dog's food.

00:23:40.820 Remember, brown food is dead food.

00:23:42.820 You need the green stuff.

00:24:16.360 Well, you know, it's interesting and so very, very sad.

00:24:19.600 It couldn't happen to nicer people.

00:24:21.420 Well, CNN's morning show has been canceled.

00:24:25.520 They should just go dark in the morning.

00:24:27.960 You know what I mean?

00:24:29.160 Are you sure about that, Glenn?

00:24:30.700 I mean, in the morning?

00:24:32.540 I mean, shouldn't they just consider it for the whole 24-hour schedule?

00:24:36.100 Well, I was just thinking of the slogan, which is appropriate even today.

00:24:41.160 Darkness in the morning.

00:24:43.360 I think that would be good.

00:24:45.240 You know, CNN, if you're looking to rocket your ratings, you could put this show on just

00:24:51.080 as a simulcast, and you'd rock the ratings.

00:24:55.140 Now, the most heard thing from your newsroom would be, oh, pluck out thine eyes.

00:25:01.760 So you'd be all eyeless reporters.

00:25:04.720 But they couldn't be worse if they were eyeless.

00:25:07.520 So you might consider it.

00:25:08.800 I'm going to put the possibilities.

00:25:10.800 If you want to do another bet on that one for $1,000, I'm willing to take the no side.

00:25:15.940 Yeah.

00:25:16.400 Yeah.

00:25:16.660 Let's see.

00:25:19.160 So not only does this bill codify 1.5 million illegal border crossings in the lot.

00:25:25.220 You've got to call your senator right now.

00:25:27.720 And Oklahoma, oh, I feel bad for you.

00:25:30.860 Really?

00:25:31.740 Your guy in the Republican Party, he negotiated this?

00:25:38.000 Wow.

00:25:39.180 Is that a surprise to you?

00:25:41.000 Not only does it codify a million and a half illegal border crossings and make it law,

00:25:48.020 but the border emergency that automatically gets implemented at 5,000 crossings a day in

00:25:55.140 a week can be overturned by Joe Biden.

00:25:59.020 Oh.

00:25:59.560 And then it also locks in all green card giveaways through 2030.

00:26:05.600 So that's another added, boy, I bet that was hard for Lankford to get.

00:26:09.920 Don't you think, Stu?

00:26:10.740 Ooh, he probably.

00:26:12.360 Here's the limiting part of the new border emergency authority.

00:26:18.320 It's quite amazing.

00:26:21.680 Okay.

00:26:21.900 So remember, border emergency authority, if it's over 5,000 a day, then the president,

00:26:29.940 should he deem, can say, we're shutting this.

00:26:33.920 No, we're almost shutting this down, which means those, you know, extra 2,000 people just

00:26:42.620 have to go to ports of entry so then they can, you know, just go through the standard

00:26:47.780 process at the ports of entry.

00:26:49.720 That's great.

00:26:50.340 Now, he can almost shut the border down for 180 days after the first two years of this

00:27:00.800 bill, which is kind of like saying we're going to make them enforce the border when it gets

00:27:08.500 really bad, but only for six months out of the year.

00:27:11.280 And then I believe there's a 45-day clause as well, Stu.

00:27:17.700 Yeah, the 45-day clause is they can suspend, once the border, quote unquote, almost shut

00:27:23.700 down, kicks in, they can suspend the almost shut down for 45 days at the president's whim,

00:27:30.620 basically, the only standard he has to hit on that is he feels that it is in the national

00:27:35.660 interest, which of course means anything, right?

00:27:38.500 Yeah, I know.

00:27:39.900 So let me ask you this, Stu.

00:27:43.220 Who is organizing, we've proven it by showing you the actual maps and everything else,

00:27:50.580 who's organizing the people in South and Central America to get to our border?

00:27:56.380 Who starts with an N, ends with O. 0.98

00:28:01.560 N-G-O? 1.00

00:28:03.020 Yes.

00:28:04.240 Okay.

00:28:05.040 All right.

00:28:05.440 Public-private partnerships, right?

00:28:07.560 It's the thing of the future.

00:28:10.080 I like to call it fascism. 0.80

00:28:13.200 This authorized $933 million to go to FEMA, and it goes immediately for NGOs and towns.

00:28:23.260 Another $350 million authorizes only if ICE has increased in detention beds to 46,000

00:28:30.960 and has hired two more deportation officers.

00:28:34.440 If the Border Patrol has hired 200 more officers, and if USCIS hires another 800 asylum officers,

00:28:45.580 then they're going to get that money, okay?

00:28:49.200 Then another $116 million is available to FEMA if ICE has conducted 1,500 removal flights since the bill was enacted.

00:28:58.600 So they get a little bonus there.

00:29:00.420 And if you're looking at the $1.4 billion in funding available to FEMA for disbursement to NGOs and municipalities,

00:29:10.320 it's great, it's great, they're going to give those George Soros NGOs as long as border-securing hiring and deportation provisions are hit.

00:29:23.180 So we got that going for us.

00:29:25.600 We're only going to give money to people who are trying to destroy our country if they hit the other benchmarks, which is great.

00:29:35.540 Hey, if you get deported twice within a year, you can't come back for a whole year.

00:29:45.940 And I think that's cruel, quite honestly.

00:29:50.100 So wait a minute.

00:29:50.720 I've crossed illegally twice, and then they caught me and deported me twice.

00:29:55.920 When I'm coming in for the third time and they catch me, I can't come in for a whole year?

00:30:04.520 What?

00:30:05.700 Wow, that's unfair.

00:30:07.320 That's really unfair.

00:30:10.920 And I appreciate your call for people to call their Congress people and senators,

00:30:16.400 and it would not be the worst use of your time to do so.

00:30:19.900 No, not at all.

00:30:20.740 However, what I will say is, even if you do not call, there is almost no chance of this bill passing.

00:30:27.540 I mean, there is, Johnson is already saying it's dead on arrival.

00:30:32.000 Yeah, but it has to be dead in the Senate, too.

00:30:34.920 It can't pass the Senate.

00:30:37.440 I would, yeah, that would be, I mean, that doesn't, of course, if it just passes the Senate, it won't become law, necessarily.

00:30:42.080 But still, you're right.

00:30:42.980 I mean, it's a good thing.

00:30:44.400 People should be making stands on it, and I think they will.

00:30:46.580 Well, this is the type of thing that will get, you know, senators who stand up for it primaried,

00:30:53.380 which is an important outcome of this, to know which people think this is a good idea,

00:30:58.360 I think is an important outcome of this.

00:31:01.040 Johnson is saying in the House side, they're not even going to put it up for a vote.

00:31:04.820 Scalise is saying the same thing.

00:31:06.080 They're not even going to get a vote on this.

00:31:07.280 So hopefully this is dead on arrival and it's not a realistic thing.

00:31:11.160 And it's funny because, Glenn, this is really, you could make an argument,

00:31:15.320 this is the optimal time to negotiate something just like this.

00:31:20.300 No.

00:31:20.980 I'm serious.

00:31:21.800 No, there's an emergency.

00:31:23.600 Why would, what?

00:31:24.540 This would be the time of pressure?

00:31:26.320 Perfect time, right?

00:31:27.340 But, like, we've had these situations before where there are times that pressure builds up

00:31:33.260 and there are certain dynamics that go on.

00:31:36.860 And Republicans try to get things out of these negotiations, right?

00:31:40.240 Right.

00:31:40.520 Well, we like to think they are going to.

00:31:44.940 Right.

00:31:45.320 But, like, a good example of this is a government shutdown.

00:31:48.200 The government's about to shut down.

00:31:50.420 We know there's a funding thing that's about to happen.

00:31:53.720 They need money to open up the government.

00:31:55.420 And so Republicans say, well, we're not going to vote for that unless you give us X, Y, and Z.

00:31:59.840 And then what happens at the end of that process almost every single time?

00:32:04.100 Basically, they get nothing.

00:32:05.660 They cave.

00:32:06.540 Or maybe they get something super surfacy that doesn't really do anything.

00:32:10.440 And the reason for that is, in reality, the Republicans don't want the government to shut down.

00:32:15.220 The thing that they're holding hostage is not something they actually want, right?

00:32:19.120 So they're sitting here saying, well, you know what?

00:32:22.460 We're going to hold this thing open.

00:32:24.240 But they know it becomes a political liability if the government is shut down for too long.

00:32:28.260 And they also have lots of friends and themselves that are dependent on government funding.

00:32:33.480 So they don't actually want that to happen.

00:32:35.540 The weird thing with the Ukraine issue is it's in that sweet spot where, regardless of what you think of this, Republicans are kind of like shoulder shrug on it.

00:32:46.900 They don't – I think they could deal with spending another $100 billion and giving it to Ukraine, or they could not.

00:32:53.020 I think they don't really care.

00:32:54.580 So they have good –

00:32:55.660 Some do.

00:32:56.200 Some do.

00:32:56.520 Some really oppose it.

00:32:59.660 Some really approve of it.

00:33:01.540 Obviously, the Nikki Haley side of the Republican Party really wants this funding to go through. 1.00

00:33:06.620 But as a party, they're kind of like could go, I think, either way on Ukraine funding, which puts them in a unique negotiating position.

00:33:14.040 They can hold this hostage, and if they lose it, they lose it.

00:33:16.460 If they win it, they –

00:33:17.100 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:33:18.660 So are you saying that the left has put the Republicans into a position where really it's a win-win for them?

00:33:24.440 It's almost hard to fail, right?

00:33:26.460 Yeah, it is.

00:33:27.240 So you go to – then you go to this negotiation, and you realize in that situation, which is an optimal negotiating situation, this is the best they could come up with?

00:33:37.640 Like, this is the thing they came up with when everything was in their favor.

00:33:42.520 In the invasion of our country. 0.98

00:33:46.420 Right.

00:33:46.640 The only time that we have seen anything like this in human history, this is what they come up with.

00:33:54.920 And this is – the other side of it is part of this, right?

00:33:57.400 In a government shutdown negotiation, Democrats can say, fine, keep it shut down.

00:34:03.320 I don't care.

00:34:04.340 Fine, because we know we'll win the politics of that, right, on the Democratic side.

00:34:08.960 The Democrats this time realize they're losing the politics of this.

00:34:12.580 They know the border is a massive story for them and a huge problem.

00:34:17.580 So they know they have to do something or at least show they're doing something.

00:34:21.000 And still, with all of that, this is all Republicans were able to achieve.

00:34:25.920 That's it.

00:34:26.480 That's it.

00:34:27.260 Now, let me just say this.

00:34:30.520 Republicans, do not blame Donald Trump for losing this election.

00:34:35.480 Don't.

00:34:36.180 No.

00:34:36.600 Don't.

00:34:36.980 But one of the reasons why people are going to say, what difference does it make?

00:34:47.020 Because you can get somebody like Donald Trump who's willing to do things, but we don't trust that you won't flip sides and stop him.

00:34:56.900 You won't flip sides.

00:34:58.640 He will have to do it all through executive order.

00:35:01.020 And there's a lot of conservatives like me that don't want that.

00:35:04.780 But what choice are you giving us?

00:35:07.360 What choice are you giving us? 0.99

00:35:09.400 You're worthless as a party. 0.99

00:35:12.900 Worthless. 0.98

00:35:13.420 And by the way, I was going to say quickly on the politics of this, Glenn, you know, Donald Trump is quite aware of those politics as well and is outwardly telling everyone he is the reason this bill is going to die.

00:35:25.840 He's been telling people that for behind the scenes for a long time and publicly for a couple of weeks.

00:35:31.020 He wants people to know, hey, this crappy deal, I'm the one that stopped it.

00:35:35.580 And that's another reason for you to be confident it is not going to pass, because when he's talking like that, there's no way the Republican Party is going to come.

00:35:43.100 And no way.

00:35:45.000 And let me tell you, the people who stand against it should receive our praise, should receive our praise.

00:35:49.840 They should be just as much.

00:35:52.000 You know, Mike Lee is fighting this thing like crazy.

00:35:55.000 I'm sorry.

00:35:55.400 I just spent the weekend with him.

00:35:56.560 But Mike Lee is fighting this thing like crazy.

00:35:58.920 And he should, too, say it's because of me and this guy and this guy and this guy and Donald Trump that stopped this thing.

00:36:07.280 By the way, let me just give you a little tip.

00:36:09.300 OK, this is I don't do any car companies, you know, but I do care about your financial situation.

00:36:17.600 So let me just give you this tip.

00:36:19.940 If you're thinking about buying a new car or a used car, do not let Mitch McConnell or any of the Republican leadership negotiate.

00:36:30.960 OK, because what he'll do is he'll say, I don't know.

00:36:35.040 And then he'll go back into the back room with the salesperson and he's going to make an incredible deal.

00:36:42.320 And then he'll come out and go, I got your deal is really good. 0.98

00:36:47.480 And you'll say, wow, this really sucks. 0.94

00:36:50.400 And it's taken you months. 0.98

00:36:52.100 I've been sitting out here for months.

00:37:01.000 Sign it right now.

00:37:02.080 Sign it right now.

00:37:03.460 And then it'll get to the point to where he'll tell you that you really didn't even need the car to begin with.

00:37:10.020 But you just didn't sign a contract, sign a contract, says you'll never own a car ever, ever again.

00:37:17.820 At least for many years, you'll never own a car.

00:37:20.660 Wait, what?

00:37:34.480 First, let me tell you about preborn.

00:37:42.480 Preborn stands at the front lines of this battle.

00:37:44.800 And the network of clinics are positioned in the highest abortion areas, often next to abortion mills,

00:37:50.600 where an unspeakable evil takes place every single day.

00:37:54.300 Preborn offers God's love and precious and God's love and life to all of these children.

00:38:01.700 Preborn, and they also offer it to the moms.

00:38:07.000 Look, pro-life people have gotten a bad name because the left has been able to position and say,

00:38:13.240 you don't care about the baby after you save its life and you don't care about the moms.

00:38:18.640 Oh, yes, we do.

00:41:34.940 You know, I don't know if you're paying attention to the farmers at all overseas, but the farmers are really upset.

00:41:41.500 And now people in Europe are starting to wake up, but we are still asleep at the switch.

00:41:47.480 They're slightly ahead of us.

00:41:48.960 And things are happening with our farmers and our ranchers and our farmland that if we don't wake up soon, America will starve.

00:41:58.680 And so will the world.

00:41:59.780 And the ranchers are already waking people up in Europe.

00:42:03.500 We're behind.

00:42:05.120 Please listen to the podcast from Saturday, wherever you get your podcast.

00:42:09.160 It's episode 208 of the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:42:56.520 All right.

00:42:57.200 Let me tell you about our sponsor for Spotlight for Blaze TV.

00:43:01.400 Our economy has been dominated by businesses that cater to the woke mob.

00:43:05.300 You know it and I know it.

00:43:07.360 You may be working for one of these companies.

00:43:09.940 But in the mobile world, Patriot Mobile is the only one that is not part of the woke mob.

00:43:15.820 In fact, they fight the woke mob.

00:43:17.620 For the past 10 years, they've offered nationwide coverage, access to all three of the major networks,

00:43:22.060 equipping you with the exact same coverage you've always had, but without sending your money to leftist causes.

00:43:28.300 So, if you like free speech, religious freedom, I don't know, the military, Second Amendment, switch to Patriot Mobile.

00:43:35.660 You're sending a message to the big mobile companies.

00:43:38.860 We don't need you anymore.

00:43:40.640 You can't do these things and not pay for them.

00:43:44.900 Sorry.

00:44:01.380 Hour number two begins in just a minute.

00:44:18.980 Oh, oh, oh.

00:44:21.200 Stay the same.

00:44:22.680 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:44:45.320 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:44:48.220 Well, on the surface, everything looks good.

00:44:55.940 For instance, we passed an Inflation Reduction Act.

00:45:00.500 Oh.

00:45:01.700 Well, it didn't have anything to do with it.

00:45:03.880 Exactly like this border emergency.

00:45:07.460 That bill has nothing.

00:45:08.980 That's a War Powers Act. 0.83

00:45:10.460 We also need to talk about what's happening with war.

00:45:13.180 It kind of seems like we're getting deeper and deeper all over the world.

00:45:17.840 And the jobs report.

00:45:21.380 Oh, my gosh.

00:45:22.360 It was a blockbuster jobs report.

00:45:24.040 Did you hear that?

00:45:24.480 The economy is doing fine.

00:45:26.280 It's great.

00:45:26.900 It's wonderful.

00:45:28.040 It's fabulous.

00:45:28.800 Is it?

00:45:30.660 Is it?

00:45:31.400 Let's look into the numbers of that job report.

00:45:34.960 Something that your friends won't know about.

00:45:37.960 Nobody in the mainstream media will tell you because they're busy carrying buckets of water.

00:45:42.520 But it is very important you actually look at the numbers to know what's really happening under the hood of your vehicle.

00:45:53.220 Let's do that in 60 seconds. 0.97

00:45:56.980 Let me tell you about American Financing first.

00:45:59.400 How they've been helping neighbors save money for 25 years.

00:46:02.580 Last year alone, they saved their customers that come from this program an average of $854 a month.

00:46:10.380 All they did was help them tap into their home's equity to pay off the high interest debt.

00:46:16.140 In some of these cases, man, I talk to these guys from time to time.

00:46:19.780 I say, what are the listeners going through?

00:46:21.860 What are you hearing?

00:46:22.980 And they're people that are just like you that are maybe now, I'm going to lose my home.

00:46:27.760 I'm going to lose everything I have.

00:46:29.440 I can't pay the credit card bills.

00:46:31.660 This year, maybe it's your turn.

00:46:33.660 Mortgage rates are in the five right now.

00:46:35.500 That means it's a great time to call American Financing.

00:46:37.860 And in 10 minutes, you could be going to a much more peaceful day.

00:46:44.020 All you have to do is call them.

00:46:46.440 They don't charge.

00:46:47.340 They have no upfront or hidden fees.

00:46:49.380 They've helped thousands of people from this audience.

00:46:52.220 They have 7,000 Google reviews and 4.7 star rating.

00:46:57.860 Check it out for yourself.

00:47:23.040 I want to talk to you about, first, the jobs report.

00:47:32.220 Last hour, we went into the Senate bill that you've got to call your senators and tell them

00:47:41.280 not to pass this.

00:47:42.500 I know it's dead on arrival, according to the Speaker of the House, but it can't be passed

00:47:47.360 in the Senate either.

00:47:48.860 Don't let any of this slip through.

00:47:52.880 If you want some more information, we'll give you more information later on in the program,

00:47:57.580 but if you missed the first hour of the broadcast, you can find it wherever you get your podcasts.

00:48:03.580 Today's podcast will have all of the information you need on that.

00:48:07.840 Now, let me go back to Friday, because there was something that came out last week, and everybody

00:48:13.440 was saying, oh, my gosh, the jobs report?

00:48:17.080 Oh, America's working like nobody's business.

00:48:19.480 Stu, give me some of the headlines that you found over the weekend on this jobs report.

00:48:24.660 Headlines, yeah.

00:48:25.660 I mean, one of the big things you hear about, it was incredibly great.

00:48:30.400 It was wonderful.

00:48:31.600 The economy's wonderful.

00:48:32.680 And this is sort of a peering into what we're going to be seeing over the next eight or nine

00:48:39.240 months as we get closer to the election.

00:48:40.960 Let me give you this example from New York Times today.

00:48:44.820 Just listen to the framing of this.

00:48:47.380 Why are Americans wary while the economy is healthy?

00:48:52.940 Look at Nevada. 1.00

00:48:54.260 Economic shocks over two decades, combined with reliance on volatile casinos, have undermined

00:48:59.060 confidence despite an economy that's bustling.

00:49:03.500 Now, there's a couple facts stated there, right?

00:49:06.540 Yeah.

00:49:06.980 That the economy is bustling.

00:49:08.980 It's bustling.

00:49:09.620 It's a fact.

00:49:10.160 It is bustling.

00:49:11.600 And it is healthy.

00:49:14.020 Now, why?

00:49:15.360 The question here is not what's going on with the economy.

00:49:17.800 The question is what's going on with people's minds that indicates why they don't understand

00:49:24.420 the economy is bustling.

00:49:25.800 Why don't they understand the economy is healthy?

00:49:29.060 It's not a question about whether the economy is healthy or not.

00:49:32.340 No, no, no.

00:49:32.780 It is easy.

00:49:33.900 This is why they are going after disinformation, like the information I'm going to give to you

00:49:40.200 next. 1.00

00:49:41.120 They'll say this is disinformation and you're too stupid to understand that the economy is 1.00

00:49:46.920 bustling. 1.00

00:49:47.600 You're going to see these kinds of headlines all the way up to the election, okay?

00:49:53.040 All the way up to the election.

00:49:54.260 They've got to convince Americans that it's just them. 0.85

00:49:57.460 All right.

00:49:58.820 So let's look at this report.

00:50:01.940 They reported last week that in January, we unexpectedly added 353,000 jobs.

00:50:10.560 That's the most since January 23, when it was 482.

00:50:18.260 Double the forecast of 185,000 jobs.

00:50:23.040 Last month, they say we, my gosh, it was 353.

00:50:26.900 And most people expected only 185,000 jobs that were created, okay?

00:50:33.980 Now, let's look into it.

00:50:37.520 The average hourly earnings spiked from 4.1 to 4.5.

00:50:45.880 That's the highest since last September.

00:50:48.440 They spiked.

00:50:50.720 Okay.

00:50:51.660 Now, let's look at this for just a second.

00:50:56.540 Did people get a raise?

00:50:58.640 Did the hourly earnings actually go up because of actual wages?

00:51:03.840 No, it's a trick.

00:51:08.580 It's a trap.

00:51:10.700 They actually rose because the Bureau of Labor Statistics decided to slash the number of estimated hours that everybody was working.

00:51:20.920 They said the hours went from 34.3 to 34.1, which may not sound like a lot, but that's why your hourly looks like it's going up because they changed that one metric.

00:51:38.660 And if that metric is true, the last time the work week was this low was when the economy was shut down because of COVID.

00:51:50.440 Okay?

00:51:51.160 So that doesn't sound healthy.

00:51:53.760 In January, the BLS conducted the annual re-benchmarking and update of seasonal adjustment factors.

00:52:02.100 Long story short here, what was, until December, a decline in jobs has now been miraculously transformed into gains.

00:52:12.940 Consider this.

00:52:14.160 Before the revision, the average monthly job gain in 2021 was largely unchanged.

00:52:20.740 And while the average monthly gain in 2022 was revised lower, this was purposely goal-seeked to make 2023 appear stronger.

00:52:33.660 And indeed, the average monthly increase in 2023 has been revised from $225,000 to $255,000, which would be great.

00:52:45.180 Which would be great if only it wasn't for the almost entirely due to the latest choice of seasonal adjustments.

00:52:57.560 Ready?

00:52:58.240 The Biden administration numbers are now clearly rising, even as the impartial ADP, which directly logs employment numbers at the company level and is far more accurate,

00:53:11.840 because they're actually looking at the payroll.

00:53:15.520 It shows an accelerating slowdown.

00:53:19.760 Seasonal adjustments.

00:53:20.820 The January print was all about seasonals, because while the seasonally adjusted payrolls was up $353,000,

00:53:30.620 the unadjusted was down $2.635 million.

00:53:37.820 That's 3 million jobs different.

00:53:41.840 So, here's, let me break it, 10% error rate, just a 10% error rate in the seasonal adjustment.

00:53:51.400 That's roughly where it always falls.

00:53:53.640 It would wipe out the entire gain and make January increase a decline.

00:54:00.020 Then again, this is the case with every January jobs report, because the actual change in jobs in the first month of the year,

00:54:11.820 this year, is down anywhere between $2.5 and $3 million.

00:54:17.420 The latest divergence between the establishment payrolls and then the much more accurate household actual unemployment or employment survey.

00:54:27.320 The BLS claims 353,000 payrolls were added, but the household survey that counts the number of actually employed workers,

00:54:38.660 this time dropped by 31,000.

00:54:41.680 Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute, so which one is right?

00:54:46.380 This means that the payroll series hit all-time highs every month since December 2020.

00:54:53.040 The level of unemployment has barely budged in the last year.

00:54:57.260 Worse, this has opened up the number of unemployed or employed workers.

00:55:07.280 If the numbers are true, the way they've adjusted everything,

00:55:13.820 the number of employed workers would need to soar by 9 million to catch up to what the payroll claims is the actual employment situation.

00:55:24.140 BLS reports that in January 2024, the U.S. had 133.1 million full-time jobs and 27.9 million part-time jobs.

00:55:35.200 That's great, until you look back one year and find that in February 23,

00:55:40.560 the U.S. had 133.2 million full-time jobs, or more than it does a year later.

00:55:47.900 So, wait, we had 133.1 million full-time jobs last January, but this January, it's supposed to be great.

00:56:04.960 But last January, we had 133.2.

00:56:09.640 Somehow or another, we've lost some jobs.

00:56:13.320 Where does it go?

00:56:14.300 And by the way, all of the job growth since then has been part-time jobs.

00:56:20.760 Part-time jobs have increased by 870,000.

00:56:26.680 And all the jobs?

00:56:28.540 Yes, they're part-time.

00:56:30.320 But here's something even better.

00:56:33.080 The number of native-born workers is down again.

00:56:37.760 It has slid by a massive 560,000.

00:56:44.320 Add this to the December data, we get a near record of 1.9 million in a plunge from native-born workers in the last two months.

00:56:58.040 Two million native-born workers have lost their jobs.

00:57:02.440 And the job creation?

00:57:06.260 All of it in the last four years has been exclusively foreign-born workers.

00:57:12.540 Zero job creation for native-born workers since July of 2018.

00:57:19.180 So, tell me we're getting healthier.

00:57:23.140 I don't think we are.

00:57:25.540 I think people are working part-time jobs a lot more.

00:57:29.640 And people who were born here in America are not getting jobs because all of the job growth has been with non-native-born workers. 1.00

00:57:40.320 Oh, you're only saying that because you hate.

00:57:42.400 No, I'm only saying it because that's what the numbers say.

00:57:45.020 Period.

00:57:45.320 Period.

00:57:47.200 All right.

00:57:50.920 I'm hesitating to think if I should take a...

00:57:53.240 Well, let me say this first.

00:57:56.760 No, let me take a break.

00:57:58.040 Let me take a break first.

00:57:59.000 I don't want to say anything because I've got a million things on my mind today.

00:58:02.360 Let me just take a quick break and we'll come back and give you some more information that you need to know.

00:58:09.460 Lear Capital is our sponsor.

00:58:12.020 Lear Capital is a company that I did business with when I was a listener of Rush.

00:58:20.900 This is before we have a, you know, businesses change and business changes.

00:58:25.780 And so, I have a new gold sponsor and it's Lear Capital.

00:58:28.300 Um, but this is the company that Rush was with for years and years and years.

00:58:33.400 And as business changed this year, we were fortunate to bring in Lear Capital is where I bought my first gold.

00:58:42.560 Um, we were talking about, uh, having Lear Capital as a sponsor.

00:58:47.600 Uh, I don't know, in 2002, but I was a nobody and Rush was an everybody.

00:58:52.980 Um, and I really enjoyed Goldline.

00:58:56.100 I thought they were very, very great, but business is business and we have Lear Capital with us.

00:59:00.860 Now, I want you to, I want you to understand that Lear Capital is the first place that I bought my gold, uh, back in the early 2000s.

00:59:10.400 It is quadrupled since then, and I just found out that the, the person that took my gold order then, because I always call companies and, you know, I order things or I do things without them knowing that it's me.

00:59:24.120 So, I know you're going to get the same kind of treatment that I would get.

00:59:28.720 Um, and, uh, that person that took, took my order back then is still working for the company.

00:59:34.280 Lear has prepared me for the, uh, coming insanity and prepared millions of people for the coming insanity.

00:59:41.980 Over $3 billion in trusted transactions, thousands of five-star reviews, and 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.

00:59:51.300 Lear is the precious metal leaders that you can trust.

00:59:54.640 Get your free wealth protection guide, and Lear will also credit your account, uh, $250 toward your first purchase,

01:00:02.220 just to, uh, introduce themselves to you.

01:00:06.340 Not going to get that anywhere else.

01:00:07.800 Uh, $250 towards your first purchase.

01:00:10.700 You just call them today at 800-475-2280.

01:00:15.160 That's 800-475-2280.

01:00:18.780 They're anxious to meet you at Lear.

01:00:21.700 800-475-2280.

01:00:25.100 Make sure your family is safe with gold or silver from Lear Capital.

01:00:30.160 All right, let me tell you a little bit about something that I told you last week, uh, South Dakota bill.

01:00:48.920 I mentioned it, uh, a week ago, exactly last week.

01:00:51.620 And I told you that the banking systems would come out, uh, and just with every gun, they'd come out, uh, uh, blazing.

01:00:59.140 Let me give you, um, an excerpt from the, uh, Epoch Times.

01:01:05.440 Important laws in all 50 states have been added to state codes over the past three decades,

01:01:11.600 specifically with provisions dealing with Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the UCC.

01:01:18.000 These laws, drafted and propagated by the influential Uniform Law Commission in tandem with powerful banking lobbyists,

01:01:27.540 were seemingly deliberately designed to revoke Americans' private property rights,

01:01:33.900 especially those related to investment securities, such as those held in IRA and 401k accounts.

01:01:41.640 You remember when they said, uh, you will own nothing and you will be happy?

01:01:45.520 I thought, how do you get a country that is used to all this private property just losing it or giving it away?

01:01:54.580 Well, one way is to tax it out.

01:01:56.600 Another way is to just, uh, lose it, um, in the stock market or spend it all because of inflation.

01:02:04.420 Um, and then there's the other part of just seizing wealth.

01:02:08.180 That's this part.

01:02:11.280 Again, quoting the, uh, Epoch Times, uh, essentially the world's largest financial institutions,

01:02:17.520 quietly preparing for an event of a major financial meltdown,

01:02:22.760 successfully lobbied state legislatures to change the way that collateral is held under state laws.

01:02:28.980 Among other things, these efforts have been given creditors in the form of too big to fail banks

01:02:36.860 and other powerful financial interest priority claim over all of the wealth stored in investment securities,

01:02:44.460 such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange rated funds, 401k accounts, IRA accounts,

01:02:49.660 and other types of security.

01:02:51.600 So what does this mean?

01:02:55.740 All 50 states changed article eight of the uniform commercial code, all 50 states.

01:03:02.980 So your state, no matter where you live, so that when you buy a share of stock through an intermediary,

01:03:12.680 this is stockbrokers and investment managers, such as Fidelity and Merrill Lynch.

01:03:18.000 They actually own the security investments because they're responsible for holding on to them,

01:03:25.760 but they actually own them.

01:03:30.120 You don't.

01:03:31.560 Okay.

01:03:31.980 The stockbroker or the brokerage house or the intermediary owns the stocks you think you own.

01:03:40.480 That means you, the purchaser, don't own anything.

01:03:44.580 And the rule applies to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other common forms of investment,

01:03:53.420 including investments held in retirement accounts, such as 401k and IRA accounts.

01:03:59.040 This is what they mean by you will own nothing.

01:04:03.000 It takes it to a whole new understanding.

01:04:05.020 The code also allows for these stockbrokers and other intermediaries holding your investments

01:04:10.900 to use them as collateral in their own financial agreements.

01:04:17.000 Okay?

01:04:17.440 So they go bankrupt, and you think, oh, well, you're going to be okay.

01:04:24.220 Well, no.

01:04:24.680 The stock you think you own can be taken by another big financial institution

01:04:30.060 who's owed money by the intermediary, the stockbroker, that was holding your stocks,

01:04:38.980 the bankrupt guy.

01:04:41.000 Now, brokers carry insurance, similar to the FDIC.

01:04:44.920 It's supposed to bail out customers who lose $500,000 or less of securities when a broker goes bankrupt,

01:04:50.720 but that is wildly underfunded.

01:04:53.220 It doesn't have the cash to save investors if there is a widespread event.

01:04:56.720 So here's what happened.

01:04:58.340 On Monday last week, I told you about the South Dakota bill, House Bill 1199.

01:05:05.800 It does a couple of important things.

01:05:08.460 It restores property ownership, restores jurisdiction in the state of South Dakota.

01:05:16.160 South Dakota should be fixing this, but a bump has come into the road,

01:05:23.420 and he looks off an awful lot like the Monopoly man.

01:05:28.880 I'll give you more information on this, tell you what you can do in South Dakota,

01:05:33.540 but it has to be done in your state.

01:05:38.400 Prepare for impact, and then get a good night's sleep.

01:05:44.940 A good night's sleep is really something you can never get enough of.

01:05:48.260 Last night, it has been just a hair-raising weekend for our family.

01:05:55.140 I was in Georgia on Friday.

01:05:57.060 It was supposed to be someplace else tomorrow,

01:05:59.280 and everything is up in the air because of a family emergency.

01:06:05.000 And last night, my wife and I were in bed, and we were talking,

01:06:08.380 and she was like, I'm never going to be able to sleep.

01:06:10.960 I said, I'm not either.

01:06:11.860 We took a relief factor of sleep, the two of us, and we were both out.

01:06:15.340 I think she was snoring before I was, but it wasn't long after I was out as well.

01:06:21.720 If you have difficulty sleeping at all or you just can't turn your brain off sometimes,

01:06:26.600 this is you'll sleep soundly.

01:06:28.800 You'll wake up feeling refreshed.

01:06:30.560 It's relief factor sleep.

01:06:32.360 It is completely drug-free, so you don't feel it in the morning.

01:06:37.020 Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-RELIEF.

01:06:42.460 800-4-RELIEF.

01:06:45.460 Relieffactor.com.

01:06:46.900 Dream big and sleep tight.

01:06:49.980 Head over to blazetv.com slash glenn.

01:06:52.580 Use the code GLEN30, and it'll save you $30 off your subscription to Blaze TV.

01:07:07.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:07:15.100 We were talking about an update that I gave you last week.

01:07:20.200 I told you about a South Dakota bill that is now massively under assault from the bank lobbyists

01:07:27.580 and special interests in South Dakota.

01:07:30.360 This is something that has to happen in your state as well.

01:07:34.500 In South Dakota, the Republican leadership is buckling, but you need to be their spine.

01:07:40.900 What this is is a fight for private property, believe it or not.

01:07:46.980 Private property.

01:07:48.760 Right now, if you have any money in stock that you bought through an intermediary,

01:07:55.580 like Fidelity or Merrill Lynch, you don't legally own that.

01:08:00.360 So if any one of these big financial institutions go out, that's collateral for their debt.

01:08:07.500 You don't own it.

01:08:08.260 It's just like the bank.

01:08:10.160 You don't actually own what's in your savings account.

01:08:14.100 That can be used as collateral for the bank.

01:08:18.840 You lose.

01:08:20.180 This wipes the average person out if there is a huge problem.

01:08:24.840 I warn you, this is going to be told that you are hearing nothing but disinformation.

01:08:31.280 It isn't true.

01:08:32.740 I just ask who has a better track record, me or the mainstream media?

01:08:38.860 So this bill in South Dakota allows you to keep ownership of your investment and all of your

01:08:47.180 savings, regardless of whether they're in an intermediary like Fidelity or Merrill Lynch.

01:08:54.420 Two, it restores the jurisdiction in the state of South Dakota.

01:08:59.080 This would put jurisdiction back into the state, which is hard to believe.

01:09:03.300 But currently, if you live in South Dakota and you have a dispute over the ownership of your

01:09:08.360 investments, say JPMorgan Chase, that will be solved in, I'm assuming JPMorgan Chase is New

01:09:16.420 York or Delaware.

01:09:18.680 So Delaware or a New York court is the place you will have to go to argue your case if you

01:09:27.160 live in South Dakota.

01:09:28.700 And how do you think that's going to go?

01:09:31.920 The legislators in South Dakota should not allow the big financial institutions to put

01:09:38.340 their customers at risk.

01:09:39.540 But the Republicans are buckling right now in South Dakota.

01:09:43.480 They are going to vote and they should tell you how they're going to vote in advance.

01:09:49.400 But this will tell you everything, because any legislature in South Dakota that votes against

01:09:57.380 you, the citizen, on this, they're either working for the people of South Dakota and the constituents

01:10:03.840 they represent, or they're working for the special interests of someone else, the financial

01:10:09.220 institutions that are all too big to fail.

01:10:11.540 That's the only choice here.

01:10:13.480 On Wednesday, that's this coming Wednesday, February 7th, the State Affairs Committee

01:10:18.960 is voting on this bill.

01:10:20.720 It's HB 1199.

01:10:22.900 If this bill fails in committee, then the Uniform Commercial Code will continue and you are at

01:10:30.820 risk.

01:10:31.900 To protect the people of South Dakota, you need HB 199.

01:10:38.940 It is the Small Investors Protection Act.

01:10:41.760 It will protect South Dakotan investors and ensure that jurisdiction is restored to South

01:10:47.800 Dakota, where it should have always been.

01:10:50.400 Now remember, this is not just about South Dakota.

01:10:52.860 This is in every single state.

01:10:56.380 All 50 states have the same dangerous law in place.

01:11:01.240 Every state will need to update its laws if you are to be protected, the individual, from

01:11:06.600 losing everything in a financial crash.

01:11:10.480 Here's what you need to do.

01:11:11.760 First, if you live in South Dakota, you need to call the members of the House State Affairs

01:11:17.320 Committee right now.

01:11:18.660 You can find their names online.

01:11:20.840 They have to hear from you today and tomorrow or early Wednesday.

01:11:24.740 Also, call Governor Kristi Noem's office as well or email.

01:11:29.760 Make sure they vote in support of HB 1199, the Small Investors Protection Act.

01:11:37.720 HB 1199, Small Investors Protection Act.

01:11:41.800 They need to know that the people of South Dakota are watching this vote and they want their

01:11:47.480 property rights protected.

01:11:50.240 The one that really needs to hear this the most is the House Speaker Stevens and the House

01:11:55.880 Majority Leader Will Mortensen.

01:11:58.480 They're playing games with this and siding right now with the big banks over you, the citizens

01:12:05.360 of the state.

01:12:06.280 They don't want you, the people, to know what is happening here and they will claim disinformation,

01:12:11.880 but it is not.

01:12:14.540 This is true.

01:12:15.720 They will use that to thwart so many people and then it will go back and pass this Wednesday

01:12:24.920 and nobody will ever think about it again until it's too late.

01:12:29.600 Okay, so call.

01:12:30.500 If you live in any other state, I want you to call your legislator, your state legislator,

01:12:36.880 and ask them to take a hard look at HB 199 in South Dakota.

01:12:41.980 Every single state must pass a law like this.

01:12:45.720 The fight is focused right now on South Dakota, but that's going to change very soon.

01:12:51.840 The people that I work with are on this nationwide and it's a fight that we cannot afford to lose.

01:13:00.480 You have to stop it before the next crisis begins.

01:13:03.860 Okay, let's just talk a little bit about our strike on our retaliatory strikes that happened over the weekend on the Islamic resistance in Iraq.

01:13:19.960 We struck, I think they said 82 targets on Saturday, but that's not true.

01:13:28.040 It's only seven targets and 87 or 82 strikes in those seven areas.

01:13:36.880 So let's say there's an airfield, that's one target, but it has, you know, 22 targets in that airfield.

01:13:45.500 Okay.

01:13:45.700 I don't know why we gave the, you know, we gave Iran a week to do this. 0.96

01:13:55.880 You can't tell me that it takes a week.

01:13:57.720 It really, they don't have a plan for Iran.

01:14:00.540 I mean, that's a problem.

01:14:02.140 Why did they give them a week?

01:14:06.740 And what exactly are we doing here?

01:14:10.080 What is the goal of this?

01:14:14.800 Because we're also giving in the so-called border bill, which is not a border bill. 0.98

01:14:21.600 Oh God, I said this during the Inflation Reduction Act and nobody listened and they still passed the damn thing. 0.96

01:14:27.740 This is not a border bill. 0.99

01:14:29.960 This is a war bill.

01:14:32.140 This is a war bill, period.

01:14:34.420 There's more money for war and refugees and everything else in this bill than there is on the border.

01:14:42.580 But we are giving in the border bill, so-called, the war bill, we are giving Ukraine $60 billion, $14 billion to Israel, and $10 billion to Gaza and Hamas.

01:15:00.460 Hamas. 0.73

01:15:01.580 Oh, who are we giving it to?

01:15:02.920 Well, we'll probably run that through the UN, which we know exactly what they're doing.

01:15:08.520 What do we do?

01:15:09.180 We're funding everybody on all sides.

01:15:11.580 It makes no sense.

01:15:12.780 God, we are just suicidal.

01:15:17.320 I'm sorry, Stu, I'm going to have another aneurysm.

01:15:19.440 Can you just put that in here for a second?

01:15:23.140 Suicidal is an interesting summary of the West overall.

01:15:27.560 But isn't it?

01:15:27.880 Overall, yes.

01:15:29.000 We seem to be going down that road with extreme abandon.

01:15:34.380 You're right.

01:15:35.100 I mean, I think it's – the border stuff is only included in the bill because they want the other stuff for Ukraine.

01:15:45.060 They want the cash for Ukraine secondarily for Israel, I suppose, but basically for Ukraine.

01:15:51.340 And this is their supposed flexibility on their border rules.

01:15:57.280 And it's interesting because, of course, the far left also won't vote for this.

01:16:01.120 So you'll have this situation where they're trying to cobble together the center left and center right to come up with some sort of voting block that will get this thing through.

01:16:13.020 Going to be difficult, if not impossible, for a multitude of reasons.

01:16:16.380 But it just shows where their priorities are, right?

01:16:18.380 Like, I mean, it shows what they really want to happen.

01:16:21.800 And, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, Glenn, but, like, Zelensky is announcing basically they have to reform the entire government because none of their war stuff is working.

01:16:29.440 They're just like, ah, you know, we need to kind of – we need a remix.

01:16:34.100 You know, this just doesn't work as an acoustic.

01:16:37.020 We need a techno version.

01:16:38.680 And, like, I don't think that that is some – it doesn't seem like the situation you want to dump $100 billion into.

01:16:47.180 Let me just say that, you know, one of the things that we're doing is we are paying for their entire government.

01:16:56.480 All of the government workers, you, your tax-paying dollar, is going over to Ukraine.

01:17:06.300 We are funding a second government.

01:17:10.000 And that's not hyperbole.

01:17:11.420 Correct me if I'm wrong, Stu.

01:17:12.620 Hyperbole?

01:17:13.540 No, I don't think so.

01:17:14.680 I mean, it's, you know, not necessarily the most – the way they would describe it, but, yes.

01:17:20.980 No, but it is – but that's what we're doing.

01:17:23.020 It does seem to be the realism of the situation.

01:17:25.020 That's what we're doing.

01:17:26.080 It is – it is just nuts.

01:17:29.700 And anybody who tells you – you know, the Jamie Dimon thing over at the WEF has bothered me for a while.

01:17:40.420 There's a couple of things that have bothered me.

01:17:43.140 One, Jamie Dimon coming out, and then Al Gore coming out and saying, you know, I really like the Trump supporters.

01:17:48.880 I don't think we should say bad things about the Trump supporters.

01:17:51.580 And Jamie Dimon coming out and saying, you know, Trump wasn't really all that bad.

01:17:56.660 Where have you been, Jamie?

01:17:58.080 Where have you been?

01:17:59.380 Now, there's two reasons for these kinds of switches.

01:18:02.800 There's one Jamie Dimon sees over the horizon and goes, none of this is good for the banking system.

01:18:10.920 We're going to get – we're going to lose the gold standard.

01:18:13.860 None of this is good.

01:18:15.240 And maybe we should take a look at Donald Trump.

01:18:18.640 Or he's hedging his bet and thinking Donald Trump is going to win, and there's got to be somebody on the inside, maybe at the Treasury Department.

01:18:29.520 Maybe I could say nice things about him and become the head of Treasury so I can keep this train running on the tracks it's already on.

01:18:36.300 I don't know.

01:18:37.740 Al Gore comes out and says these things.

01:18:39.940 They are afraid.

01:18:46.160 But what you're seeing is – remember when I told you that their whole thing was restoring trust?

01:18:52.480 I talked to some people this weekend that were actually there, and I said, I have to ask you, restoring trust, whose trust are they trying to restore?

01:19:02.500 I said, I haven't said this on the air yet because it's just a theory, but I get the feeling that they're not trying to restore trust between us and the people.

01:19:12.860 It's trust in the elite and in the program that people are starting to peel off up at the top levels, and they're saying, no, no, no, we all have to trust each other.

01:19:23.600 This is going to work.

01:19:24.280 We've got to stay together.

01:19:25.480 They both laughed and said that's exactly what they mean.

01:19:29.880 They don't even think of us.

01:19:34.300 We are just totally irrelevant.

01:19:37.420 They are in trouble.

01:19:39.560 We've got to stand together and use our common sense, be cool and collected and calm, and finish the job we started because we are winning.

01:19:54.980 They're freaking out.

01:19:56.160 We are winning.

01:19:57.160 But it is going to be, at the finish line, it will be a photo finish.

01:20:03.940 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:20:06.180 It's the Berna Launcher.

01:20:07.180 You heard me talking about Berna lately.

01:20:09.100 It is a less lethal pistol that you can rely on.

01:20:13.440 And when I saw that, I went, oh, less lethal.

01:20:18.920 So it could be. 0.99

01:20:21.080 Yeah, I suppose if you shoot it into somebody's eye, it's going to kill them. 0.99

01:20:25.160 But it is. 0.97

01:20:25.820 I mean, because it packs a punch.

01:20:28.420 Kinetic rounds come out first.

01:20:30.140 If that's the way you load it, you load it any way you want.

01:20:32.020 Or tear gas.

01:20:33.920 They have pepper spray rounds, which I'm like, why?

01:20:37.060 Go for the tear gas.

01:20:38.240 The tear gas rounds.

01:20:39.760 This will incapacitate somebody in a six-foot range around that somebody for about 40 minutes.

01:20:48.100 This is something that you use first before you have to pull your gun.

01:20:53.680 Government agencies and police officers all around the country are using this now because it will put somebody down for quite some time.

01:21:02.040 It is made here in America.

01:21:03.600 In fact, it's made in one of my favorite towns in America, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

01:21:07.180 And you can get it now at Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn in an exclusive 10% discount.

01:21:16.240 That's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

01:21:22.000 Our opinions weighing you down.

01:21:24.940 Call in and let it out.

01:21:27.160 888-727-BECK.

01:21:32.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:37.180 Tucker Carlson texted me last night from the former Soviet Union.

01:21:59.160 And whatever he is doing there, he's doing it today and tomorrow.

01:22:03.280 A lot of people heard about it and Bill Crystals of the World came out and said he shouldn't be allowed back into the country.

01:22:12.140 He's obviously a Putin supporter.

01:22:14.260 Did you say that to Megyn Kelly when she sat down with Vladimir Putin?

01:22:19.120 Did you?

01:22:19.540 Did you say it about, what was it, Barbara Walters or Diane Sawyer that met with Saddam Hussein?

01:22:24.300 Have you ever said anything about how the New York Times and Time Magazine just fell in love with Mussolini and Stalin and Hitler?

01:22:36.280 Did you say anything about that?

01:22:37.200 This is something journalists do.

01:22:42.320 And the GOP and all those who are saying that Tucker is a traitor for going over and talking to him.

01:22:51.640 You can argue he's not going to do a fair interview.

01:22:55.480 You don't think that he's the guy to give it.

01:22:57.980 Or what?

01:22:58.280 Are you going to argue that back and forth all you want?

01:23:00.620 But to say he shouldn't be allowed to interview a world leader and a figure that is changing the world, I don't know.

01:23:10.440 I think you may be the fascist.

01:23:13.280 I'm just throwing that out there. 0.55

01:23:15.380 Yeah.

01:23:15.840 I mean, this is what journalists are supposed to do.

01:23:18.580 They're supposed to go.

01:23:19.580 And every journalist would kill for an interview right now with Vladimir Putin.

01:23:24.920 Every single one of them.

01:23:25.800 Now, of course, the criticism is the reason why, and we don't know all the details, obviously, of this interview or whatever.

01:23:32.360 But one of the criticisms would be, you're right, a lot of people would like to talk to him.

01:23:36.820 And he's choosing to interview with Tucker because he thinks he's going to get a favorable interview.

01:23:41.660 Now, we will see if that's true or not, if this interview occurs and we get to see it.

01:23:46.860 And you're right.

01:23:47.480 You can be critical of the way he handles that interview.

01:23:49.860 You can be critical of the questions he asks.

01:23:52.320 You can say he's too tough or the opposite.

01:23:55.080 You'll know.

01:23:55.860 But you'll know when you see it.

01:23:57.480 You'll know when you see it.

01:23:58.560 He's a world leader.

01:23:59.540 Of course, you should be talking to him.

01:24:01.020 You should be talking to every dictator on Earth should have journalists trying to get interviews with him all the time.

01:24:07.120 Absolutely.

01:24:08.360 Absolutely.

01:24:08.920 I'd like Tucker to even.

01:24:10.160 Yeah.

01:24:10.580 Yeah.

01:24:10.980 I'd like him to sit down with Joe Biden.

01:24:14.440 I mean, we should, like you said, sit down with.

01:24:16.900 That's too far.

01:24:17.300 Wait a minute.

01:24:17.820 What?

01:24:25.080 We've got no room to compromise.

01:25:15.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:18.420 All right.

01:25:21.360 We're going to get into politics.

01:25:22.440 We're going to get into the border bill, which is not a border bill.

01:25:25.100 It is a war bill.

01:25:27.500 We're going to talk about the economy some.

01:25:30.300 And I want to start with some good news.

01:25:32.160 I saw this yesterday kind of going viral.

01:25:36.720 Warren Smith, he's a filmmaker and a teacher.

01:25:39.480 He teaches classes and then posts them on YouTube.

01:25:41.940 He went viral for a recent interaction with a student that he was teaching when they said,

01:25:49.420 how do you feel about J.K. Rowling?

01:25:54.360 You have to listen to the way this guy handled this.

01:25:57.780 It was so good.

01:25:59.200 This is this guy should be the teacher of the year just for this answer.

01:27:16.500 Okay, I want you to hear this.

01:27:20.200 This is a question and answer from a teacher and his student talking about J.K. Rowling.

01:27:28.500 Listen.

01:27:28.740 So these guys want to talk about J.K. Rowling?

01:27:32.780 So what's going on with that?

01:27:34.140 What do you want to know?

01:27:36.960 She's had a pretty controversial past.

01:27:39.080 I just want to know, like, what are your thoughts on it?

01:27:41.100 Like, do you still like her work despite her bigoted opinions?

01:27:46.620 So let's get specific, though.

01:27:48.880 Let's define bigoted opinions.

01:27:50.560 What opinions are bigoted?

01:27:52.240 We're going to treat this as a thought experiment.

01:27:53.940 I'm not going to say what's right or wrong or what way to think.

01:27:56.240 The whole point is to learn how to think, not what to think.

01:27:58.780 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:59.080 So when you say bigoted, you're starting with the conclusion that given her bigoted opinions. 0.64

01:28:04.520 Yeah.

01:28:04.900 So first let's start with, does she have bigoted opinions? 0.96

01:28:07.780 So when you say bigoted opinions.

01:28:08.940 She has had a history of being extremely transphobic, I've heard.

01:28:13.460 You've heard.

01:28:14.040 So can you give me an example?

01:28:16.620 If you look at her Twitter, I think you can see a few things.

01:28:20.260 If you want, I can try and find something.

01:28:22.300 Yeah, see if you can find one.

01:28:25.000 So one of these tweets that she came up with in 2019, she said,

01:28:31.960 Dress however you please.

01:28:33.420 Call yourself whatever you like.

01:28:35.160 Sleep with any consenting adult who will have you live your best life in peace and security,

01:28:43.300 but force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real.

01:28:49.520 So do you find that bigoted?

01:28:52.040 What do you find about it?

01:28:53.280 It was deemed transphobic.

01:28:57.480 Like, I myself.

01:28:59.400 Do you find that transphobic yourself?

01:29:00.980 I don't really have an opinion on it, but I'm just going with what a lot of other people have said.

01:29:07.860 So let's pause there.

01:29:08.940 Let's not go with what other people are saying.

01:29:10.880 Let's try and learn how to critically think.

01:29:12.940 So let's analyze the tweet ourselves.

01:29:14.880 So that statement, do you see anything problematic, disregarding other people's opinions?

01:29:24.100 She did try and pin some things on a specific group of people.

01:29:34.280 Where does she do that? 1.00

01:29:35.800 Can you read that?

01:29:36.880 But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real. 0.99

01:29:42.360 So when I hear that, I'm interpreting that as meaning if a woman says that, you know,

01:29:47.560 saying that there is a difference between men and female and then being attacked as transphobic,

01:29:52.780 I think that's what she's saying by attacking someone for stating that sex is real. 0.99

01:29:57.480 That is exactly what she's saying.

01:29:59.220 Is that transphobic to you?

01:30:01.140 So to me, no.

01:30:05.180 Stating that sex is real is not transphobic.

01:30:08.000 It's just a fact of life.

01:30:09.860 It exists.

01:30:10.480 So is there anything you disagree with in that tweet?

01:30:15.640 In that tweet, I can't really see anything that I myself disagree with.

01:30:21.460 Do you think it's fair that she's being attacked by a large group of people and people are calling her?

01:30:28.080 Like you said at the beginning of this conversation, you said, given the fact that J.K.

01:30:32.660 Rowling is transphobic, how do you feel about Harry Potter?

01:30:36.000 Now, retroactively looking at that statement, do you think that that was the best way to phrase? 0.99

01:30:40.780 No, I feel like an idiot now. 0.98

01:30:42.860 It's okay, though. 0.99

01:30:43.660 But this is why we do this, to learn how to think.

01:30:46.240 Is that not fantastic?

01:30:50.200 That's why we do this, to learn how to think.

01:30:52.100 I will tell you that when I went to school, I could only afford one class, and it was here at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

01:31:03.800 And I had a teacher, Wayne Meeks, and I have no idea to this day where he stood on issues.

01:31:11.420 No idea.

01:31:12.620 No idea.

01:31:13.160 And I would push back and forth with him, and he would push me.

01:31:17.560 And just when I thought, okay, I know what he believes, he'd flip sides, and he'd argue the other side like he was a passionate believer in that.

01:31:26.520 That's what we need.

01:31:29.520 School is not to teach what to think, but how to think.

01:31:35.220 And every single school has lost that.

01:31:38.960 They teach you what to think.

01:31:42.540 No.

01:31:43.820 Teach critical thinking.

01:31:45.660 The way he brought that and didn't get involved in the argument.

01:31:50.780 This is what we all have to learn.

01:31:52.660 Don't get involved or heated or frustrated in the argument.

01:31:56.740 He just took his time and said, well, wait a minute.

01:31:59.480 A lot of people say, well, what do a lot of people say?

01:32:02.920 Give me an example so we can take that.

01:32:07.680 And remember, we don't take anything a lot of people say.

01:32:11.960 That's the problem.

01:32:13.460 That's why we've smeared so many good people is because we haven't taken the time.

01:32:19.340 What did they actually say?

01:32:21.760 Was that in context?

01:32:23.800 What does that actually mean to you in context?

01:32:27.860 Do you agree or disagree?

01:32:29.980 With what part do you disagree?

01:32:32.520 What part do you agree?

01:32:34.480 So is that fair to say yes or no?

01:32:37.540 We should be doing this with the bill on the border stuff.

01:32:41.740 The border stuff.

01:32:42.620 Instead, everybody claims disinformation.

01:32:46.260 No.

01:32:47.200 Be specific.

01:32:48.580 Be specific.

01:32:49.400 What parts of this are really bad?

01:32:53.720 Now, I got to say, I suppose I could find some good things in here.

01:33:01.480 Stu, have you found any good things in here?

01:33:05.280 Yeah.

01:33:05.940 I mean, I think there's some.

01:33:07.260 It's not a good bill.

01:33:10.320 It theoretically could have some things that would be beneficial.

01:33:13.700 I mean, making the asylum process better would be a good change.

01:33:19.160 But wait, let's stop there and use critical thinking.

01:33:21.640 What exactly do you mean by better?

01:33:23.900 What do they mean by making it better?

01:33:26.180 Well, as we know, one of the big problems with the asylum process is, number one, you

01:33:29.700 get onto our soil and say you want asylum and basically you're just released within the 0.83

01:33:34.420 country with a court date that can be as far as 2032.

01:33:38.300 What they say, again, I'm not saying I believe this, but what they are saying this does is

01:33:45.740 it trims the asylum process from multiple years to months.

01:33:51.680 So that would shorten the time period that these people were allowed to be in the United 0.98

01:33:55.940 States with no real repercussions.

01:33:58.180 Okay.

01:33:58.780 So stop for a second.

01:33:59.760 Stop for a second.

01:34:00.920 So I'd like to ask you a serious questions here and not on the facts of what you just said.

01:34:08.300 On what's in the bill.

01:34:09.700 I want to back up and ask you, when you said they say that you can read the bill, you know

01:34:17.180 it's in there.

01:34:18.460 What do you mean by they say that it will?

01:34:21.840 That they claim that if this was implemented into law, they would enforce it.

01:34:29.320 However, my hesitation here is because there's lots of things that are implemented into law

01:34:33.760 that they do not enforce.

01:34:35.540 And that is why it is difficult to take any of these proposals seriously.

01:34:39.280 And would you say that happens on both sides of the aisle with almost any topic or just

01:34:45.260 this topic?

01:34:46.000 I would say that it does hit both sides of the aisle on various topics.

01:34:52.800 However, there is a heavy, heavy bias toward the left doing this.

01:34:57.300 They continually, you know, do not follow the law.

01:35:01.280 And I would say there's a heavy bias toward this particular issue as well, being one that

01:35:07.020 they do not enforce the law on.

01:35:08.760 So it makes me incredibly suspicious of it.

01:35:11.080 OK, so I could I could go on to give me examples, but I think in, you know, just in because of

01:35:18.660 time, I'm not going to ask you that.

01:35:20.520 I think we can all find examples of that being true.

01:35:23.260 But what does that tell you now about the bill?

01:35:26.480 I mean, it tells me the bill isn't worth the paper it's typed on.

01:35:30.120 Yes.

01:35:30.560 So that tells me what.

01:35:33.280 So how much time should you spend on a bill that isn't worth the paper it's printed on?

01:35:41.080 Uh, I would argue zero minutes, but we've obviously spent more than zero minutes on

01:35:46.000 it today.

01:35:46.620 I know because we do have to inform people what's in the bill so they see.

01:35:51.420 But I would add the caveat that we all know the game that is played on the border.

01:35:56.900 We all know it.

01:35:57.980 So it's not worth.

01:35:59.940 I mean, you can put as many, you know, uh, uh, shall over, uh, will in any bill.

01:36:08.900 And the shall is meaning, well, they have to do it now.

01:36:11.840 I've seen that game played over and over and over again.

01:36:14.980 Uh, and it doesn't matter.

01:36:16.960 It doesn't matter.

01:36:17.780 They're not following the constitution.

01:36:19.360 So these bills don't mean very much.

01:36:22.680 The best thing that Congress and the, and the, and the administration can do now is not

01:36:27.720 pass anything until they've restored their trust with the American people.

01:36:32.420 But are they apt to do that?

01:36:36.100 Hmm.

01:36:36.420 I would argue no, but let me follow up with this on your, on your side here, Glenn, because,

01:36:41.060 and I will do this as a, someone who's completely dead inside on all of these issues.

01:36:45.300 I admit my, my devil's advocacy here is not heartfelt.

01:36:49.820 Uh, but no, mine isn't.

01:36:51.140 Yeah, I know.

01:36:51.660 I know.

01:36:52.180 But let's play devil's advocate.

01:36:53.460 But like if, cause I, my initial reaction to this bill is to read it and say, okay,

01:37:00.040 there are maybe a couple of things that could theoretically be good in there, but I don't

01:37:03.720 trust them at all because they're never going to enforce these things anyway.

01:37:06.780 If that is the case, then how is there ever a solution to this problem?

01:37:10.980 We could sit here and say that like, well, uh, question, you know, we are skeptical.

01:37:17.100 They're going to implement this, but we're going to be skeptical that they're going to

01:37:20.400 implement anything forever.

01:37:22.460 I think rightfully so.

01:37:24.220 So with that being said, how do you ever get to a place where this problem is solved or at

01:37:30.120 least alleviated?

01:37:31.740 So, uh, this leads me to a place that I didn't think we would go to.

01:37:35.680 Um, but, uh, I'm glad you asked that question.

01:37:38.840 Uh, civil war.

01:37:40.080 No, no, the, the answer to that question is none of this will be solved by the people

01:37:47.460 who caused the problem.

01:37:49.700 Um, the people that are currently saying that they are going to solve this problem are all

01:37:56.640 of the people that have caused this problem.

01:37:59.160 Joe Biden, uh, the GOP that says they want to solve problems, but they don't actually want

01:38:05.520 to solve them.

01:38:06.820 Um, the, you know, Chuck Schumer, all of the same people are involved.

01:38:11.260 So the, the, the real answer is, shouldn't we be spending more time on finding, uh, the

01:38:18.900 right people to run, ensuring that they get in, helping them get in and finding new candidates

01:38:25.840 that won't play this same game?

01:38:27.740 I mean, we've, we've seen that's, that's almost as harder, uh, uh, almost harder than solving

01:38:33.960 the, um, the border problem.

01:38:37.880 I mean, you've, what you've just said is basically Donald Trump's argument, right?

01:38:41.980 His argument is put me back, put me in an office and I will take care of this.

01:38:46.020 And, and we shouldn't, even if there are improvements in this bill, we shouldn't look at them because

01:38:51.520 the more important thing is to get me back in office and therefore I can do these things

01:38:56.640 because I alone can do this.

01:38:58.660 Well, then, no, wait, that's not what I said.

01:39:01.000 That's not what I said.

01:39:01.580 But I think that's similar to what, I'm not saying, I'm not saying you're, you're signaling

01:39:05.480 this to Donald Trump.

01:39:06.380 I'm just saying I'm, I'm personalizing to Donald Trump because he's making this argument explicitly,

01:39:10.400 right?

01:39:10.820 But again, he, he, if that was indeed what he was saying and, uh, you know, he didn't

01:39:18.060 say it, so let's not attribute it to him.

01:39:19.880 But indeed, if that's what he was saying, well, then that would be a problem because that's

01:39:25.260 not our system.

01:39:26.540 That's not our system.

01:39:28.020 If, if he would say, hire me, hire these people in their respective roles and together

01:39:37.120 we're going to fix this, that would be the ultimate, that would be the ultimate, uh, if

01:39:43.200 everybody did what they said they were going to do and they were fresh, fresh blood, that

01:39:48.700 would be great.

01:39:49.760 Um, the next best thing is to do it by executive order, but I hate that solution, uh, for, for

01:39:57.840 one reason they can change it.

01:39:59.560 The next president that comes in, uh, and let's, let's jump off, uh, off of this here for a

01:40:05.180 second and come back in just a minute.

01:40:06.580 I want to talk to you about why his vice presidential pick is so important next.

01:40:16.520 First, our sponsor this half hour is Mantis X, you know, very seldom, uh, do I think to

01:40:21.540 myself, you know, I spend too much time at the gun range practicing to be a better shot.

01:40:27.000 I mean, maybe it's just me, but have you ever had that thought?

01:40:30.560 You know, I, there's no reason to go today.

01:40:32.560 I've already gone every day this week, the expense of add, um, ammo, the time that it

01:40:38.140 takes, et cetera, et cetera.

01:40:39.660 May I suggest Mantis X now Mantis X allows you to work with your gun.

01:40:44.760 It's a high tech, easy to use system, widely used by the military, and it helps improve

01:40:50.780 your shooting quickly.

01:40:52.260 You attach it to your firearm.

01:40:54.860 You connect it with an app.

01:40:56.760 That's your smartphone or your tablet, uh, via Bluetooth.

01:40:59.520 And when you're firing actual rounds, even dry firing, a fire practicing, it will give

01:41:05.600 you instant feedback on what you're doing, right?

01:41:07.740 What you're doing wrong, how to correct your technique.

01:41:11.500 94% of the shooters now improve within 20 minutes using Mantis X.

01:41:15.380 It's honestly, this is why the, the, um, the military uses Mantis X.

01:41:19.640 Now it is so good.

01:41:21.220 Be responsible.

01:41:23.060 Increase your competence, your confidence today with Mantis X.

01:41:27.260 Get yours now at Mantis X.com.

01:41:29.560 That's Mantis X.com.

01:41:32.780 10 seconds.

01:41:33.380 Station ID.

01:41:43.580 Okay.

01:41:44.220 So, uh, the president was thrilled that he won the democratic, democratic primary in a

01:41:49.560 landslide in South Carolina.

01:41:52.640 Uh, I mean, I guess you could call it that, uh, nobody really running against him and only

01:41:57.240 four percent of those who could vote turned out to vote.

01:42:01.500 So I wouldn't necessarily call it that.

01:42:02.840 How much do you take from this?

01:42:04.300 I mean, I have other points on the Trump thing we were on in a second, but like, how much do

01:42:07.900 you take from that?

01:42:08.560 I mean, he, he was, he was the only candidate really that was serious that was running.

01:42:12.180 He's the incumbent president.

01:42:13.280 Would you show up to vote in that election?

01:42:14.740 Who cares?

01:42:15.460 No, I wouldn't show up.

01:42:16.300 Why would you take any, any of your time to go vote in an election?

01:42:19.140 He's going to win 96 to two.

01:42:20.580 Yeah.

01:42:21.040 None.

01:42:21.340 So let me go now back to Donald Trump, who he selects as vice president is critical because

01:42:30.420 the president will only have four years.

01:42:34.480 He's a lame duck president, uh, going in. 0.91

01:42:38.620 He's got one term. 0.96

01:42:39.920 So he's in the first 40 to a hundred days, it's all got to be there and he's got to execute

01:42:47.520 it from day one.

01:42:49.220 He has to know exactly who he's putting in on every, in every office.

01:42:54.200 And those people have a list of everybody they need to cut in every office. 0.83

01:43:00.520 He needs to be a machine in the first 100 days.

01:43:05.160 Um, and then, you know, he can go and do whatever he wants, but that should be laid out.

01:43:10.440 Honestly, a lot of it should be laid out by now.

01:43:14.000 Um, and the vice president is going to be the key to all of this.

01:43:19.800 I don't mean during the Trump administration, but he's got to be somebody that we all say

01:43:25.520 that's who I'd like to be the president in 2028.

01:43:28.960 The best person he could pick, and I don't think DeSantis would do it, but the best person

01:43:34.740 he could pick would be Ron DeSantis, um, Ron DeSantis getting in and being the vice president.

01:43:42.000 So we have a smooth transition.

01:43:44.920 We to fix this, we need 12 years.

01:43:49.720 You've got to have the presidency and somebody who is on the same page for 12 years.

01:43:56.980 This has taken over a hundred to build.

01:43:59.580 You can dismantle it in 12, but you can't in four.

01:44:03.940 Now, who is he looking at as vice president?

01:44:07.740 You know, people are pointing to this, uh, this audio cut of, uh, the president talking

01:44:14.100 about two candidates, but listen carefully.

01:44:17.600 He's not actually saying that these are two I'm considering.

01:44:21.640 Listen to this.

01:44:22.660 When will you announce who your VP is?

01:44:25.000 Not for a while.

01:44:25.740 I mean, I have, we have so many great people in the Republican party, but not for a while.

01:44:29.380 What criteria are you using to identify who your running mate is?

01:44:32.880 Always.

01:44:33.320 It's got to be one thing.

01:44:34.340 It's got to be who would be a good president.

01:44:35.880 I mean, you always have to think that because, you know, in case of emergency, things happen,

01:44:39.620 right?

01:44:39.900 No matter who you are, things happen.

01:44:41.760 It's got to be number one.

01:44:42.860 Who is your running mate? 0.99

01:44:44.140 Well, I have a lot of good people.

01:44:45.480 We have a lot of really good people.

01:44:46.760 So you haven't decided who it is?

01:44:48.500 I have a lot of good ideas, but I haven't.

01:44:51.080 And there's no reason to do that quickly.

01:44:51.880 So you haven't told that person.

01:44:53.380 You're my person.

01:44:53.920 I speak to everybody.

01:44:55.380 I speak to everybody.

01:44:56.880 You know, I called Tim Scott this, because a lot of people like Tim Scott.

01:44:59.940 I called him and I said, you're a much better candidate for me than you are for yourself.

01:45:04.760 Kristi Noem has been incredible fighting for me.

01:45:08.040 She said I'd never run against him because I can't beat him.

01:45:10.640 That was a very nice thing to say.

01:45:12.080 What was the story that your team reached out to RFK Jr.?

01:45:15.740 It's a false story.

01:45:16.780 No, it's a false story.

01:45:17.300 You never reached out to RFK Jr.?

01:45:18.440 You know what?

01:45:18.460 I like him a lot.

01:45:19.060 Nope.

01:45:19.420 Never, never have.

01:45:20.500 Did you notice the one thing he didn't say about those two was he's considering them

01:45:26.340 as vice presidential candidates, even though I think he would be wise to, you know, consider

01:45:30.900 those.

01:45:31.780 Those are two good people.

01:45:32.800 They're on the board.

01:45:33.840 I would argue they're on the board.

01:45:36.380 Yeah.

01:45:36.680 But everybody's like, oh, he's narrowed it down to two.

01:45:39.400 No, no.

01:45:40.020 No, he hasn't.

01:45:40.800 He's got to say 25 different things about it.

01:45:42.580 He's already said he's decided.

01:45:44.320 Now he's saying he's not.

01:45:45.220 He likes the drama of this.

01:45:46.480 People don't understand that, but he does.

01:45:48.540 Yeah.

01:45:48.780 When he comes out with his candidate, he'll say the vice presidential candidate is after

01:45:54.080 this break.

01:45:56.800 All right.

01:47:13.940 I'm live from the station really where everything started, at least talk-wise for me.

01:47:36.880 And I found Stu as an intern.

01:47:39.460 We're at the studios in New Haven, Connecticut, at KC101 and WELI.

01:47:42.880 And I want to thank Fred, the engineer, is just incredible.

01:47:46.500 And also Vinnie Penn and Dr. Rossi, who are still here after all so many years.

01:47:53.660 And thank them for their support and kindness of working quickly to get me on the air here this weekend.

01:48:02.520 We had an emergency in the family and the whole schedule is kind of up in the air right now.

01:48:10.380 So we'll give you more as you need to, you know, as it needed.

01:48:15.880 As a quick fact check, Glenn, I was making $6 an hour hanging balloons in the promotions department.

01:48:21.260 Not actually an intern until after I had met you.

01:48:25.120 Just to be clear, I was promoted to intern.

01:48:28.680 So you were promoted to intern.

01:48:30.000 Intern, okay.

01:48:31.320 But did I pay you $6 an hour?

01:48:33.700 You didn't.

01:48:34.200 Intern?

01:48:34.560 No, you didn't.

01:48:35.400 The station was paying me to hang the balloons and to put the stickers on the table multiple, multiple months before you actually brought me on as an intern.

01:48:43.700 It's an important part of my career.

01:48:45.100 I want to make sure it's fleshed out for the public consumption.

01:48:47.460 Okay, good.

01:48:47.740 Yeah, and you were a little, you know, you're like, I don't know, I'm making a lot of coin here.

01:48:52.260 It's $6 every hour.

01:48:54.800 I mean, minus the taxes in Connecticut.

01:48:57.120 So negative $3 an hour total.

01:48:59.400 Yeah, it was great.

01:49:00.460 It was great.

01:49:01.320 So before we move on from the border situation and my limited advocacy for the devil in this particular situation.

01:49:13.120 Yes, go ahead.

01:49:14.120 He speaks for me.

01:49:14.860 There's a kernel of like real, real like dead end type of worry here for me on this issue because.

01:49:23.460 Yes, endless.

01:49:25.180 Because, you know, Trump, I mean, and I will say he's somewhat explicitly said he's the guy who can, I mean, this is his campaign, right?

01:49:31.880 He's saying he's the best guy to solve this problem.

01:49:34.300 He has explicitly talked about that.

01:49:36.600 And, you know, I think there's, you know, he did some good things on the border.

01:49:39.000 I mean, I don't think he was perfect there, but he did some good things on the border.

01:49:41.720 Certainly better than what we have now, as we could all agree.

01:49:44.060 Yeah.

01:49:44.260 So, but like right now, his political calculation, which I think is accurate, is do not let anyone support this bill in the Republican Party.

01:49:53.660 We outwardly shame them if they do, because if you if you do that, he the issue continues to be a problem for Biden.

01:50:01.160 It's hampering his campaign and Donald Trump is more likely to be get get into the White House and therefore more likely to improve this situation.

01:50:08.900 So I think that's all like it works for Donald Trump, probably works for the border situation, particularly in the long term.

01:50:15.120 However, in the short term, however, in the long term, it's another story, right?

01:50:20.900 Because Donald Trump can do what he did last time.

01:50:23.300 Basically, he can go in there and he can improve some things on the border, which he did.

01:50:28.180 He can he can probably make the numbers look a heck of a lot better than they are now for four years.

01:50:35.720 You're right. His VP choice is key.

01:50:37.940 Maybe that person gets another eight years.

01:50:39.420 Maybe we even extend those those solutions for eight years.

01:50:43.260 However, without getting this through Congress, it's going to be difficult to see anything that's going to really change this situation.

01:50:50.000 In any dramatic way. And if Donald Trump is president, long term, long term.

01:50:54.720 And if Donald Trump is president of the United States, there is basically zero chance you're going to get 60 votes on a conservative border solution in the Senate.

01:51:05.200 So why do you need 60?

01:51:06.560 Well, because they will filibuster anything. The Democrats will filibuster anything that tries to go through. 0.98

01:51:11.340 So the filibuster, I forgot they hadn't gotten rid of that.

01:51:14.140 Yeah. I mean, OK, go ahead.

01:51:15.140 Theory, you could talk about that, which I do not like.

01:51:17.080 I don't like that at all.

01:51:18.780 All right. So, I mean, I don't think this what we have here is the solution at all.

01:51:24.500 This new border bill. But like, how do you get to a long term solution?

01:51:28.720 Because all you seemingly can do is somewhat improve the process.

01:51:34.080 I mean, and people will point out that, you know, especially those that are conservatives and didn't like Trump.

01:51:38.160 I mean, you know, Trump endorsed Langford his full and total endorsement for the guy who negotiated this bill.

01:51:44.180 So, I mean, like, even if we get an improvement under Trump, how do you make it long term?

01:51:48.160 How does it last?

01:51:49.580 Well, I think my attorney said it best.

01:51:53.040 There's really no hope.

01:51:54.360 It's a civil war.

01:51:55.460 I'd like to argue that this bill actually will hurt the next president if it's not, if it's Donald Trump, because we've now codified that there can be 4,000, you know, 3,999 that go through every day.

01:52:17.480 And we're fine with 1.8 million people coming in.

01:52:21.360 It'll now be codified.

01:52:23.620 So, what is he supposed to do when he gets in?

01:52:28.700 He can't slow that down.

01:52:31.620 That's now law.

01:52:33.900 This is really bad if you want to solve the problem.

01:52:37.060 I understand what you're saying.

01:52:38.480 Yeah.

01:52:38.660 That this is so horrible that nothing's ever going to work, but I will tell you, while we have the chance to vote for senators, I mean, remember, there's enough senators.

01:52:52.480 I'm sure you do this on your morning report.

01:52:54.440 There's enough senator openings that could go actually really well for the liberty-loving side of the GOP that we could have enough numbers to get a lot through.

01:53:09.720 Am I wrong?

01:53:10.840 You could.

01:53:11.460 Yeah.

01:53:11.600 You could have a real improvement here.

01:53:13.000 I mean, and you could also have improvements even when the numbers don't change.

01:53:16.400 A prime example of this is Utah, right?

01:53:18.100 You go from Mitt Romney to question mark.

01:53:20.900 Not bad news.

01:53:21.400 Well, I mean, I'm just saying, if you choose a good person in that role, you can make a massive improvement in the Senate without even changing your numbers.

01:53:29.280 But what's the bad news?

01:53:32.600 So, you know, I said I thought that Mitt Romney's son was going to run.

01:53:36.180 Yeah, you did tell me that.

01:53:38.020 No, it didn't happen.

01:53:39.340 Didn't happen.

01:53:40.040 Okay, well, that's not bad news.

01:53:41.540 Well, somebody's son is running.

01:53:44.700 Is it mine?

01:53:45.720 No.

01:53:47.840 It is Orrin Hatch's son.

01:53:49.800 Do people in Utah ever vote for someone, like, are they independent enough to not vote for just a last name that's familiar?

01:54:00.000 I don't know.

01:54:01.360 I feel like they are.

01:54:02.440 I mean, Mike Lee's a good example of that, right?

01:54:04.360 They could have gone another direction with an establishment candidate.

01:54:07.200 They went with Lee.

01:54:08.660 Right.

01:54:08.960 They're still actually, you know, they have to go through the nomination process yet.

01:54:13.580 So he's not the guy yet.

01:54:16.500 I met one of the people that is throwing their hat in the ring over the weekend and had a conversation with him.

01:54:25.680 I want to have another conversation with him, at least.

01:54:27.660 And I'd like to meet everybody that is involved in that.

01:54:31.160 But please not.

01:54:33.000 Please not, Hatch.

01:54:33.960 Please.

01:54:34.460 For the love of Pete.

01:54:35.180 Can we learn our lesson?

01:54:36.560 Yeah.

01:54:37.760 I mean, the son of another candidate could theoretically be good, but why do we always do this?

01:54:43.260 Why do we always do this?

01:54:44.120 Why do we always go back to...

01:54:44.560 Well, because we don't like kings.

01:54:45.880 We don't like kings and royal families.

01:54:47.160 Right.

01:54:47.380 The whole country was framed on the idea that we don't like kings, and yet we're like, you know what we like?

01:54:52.260 I know.

01:54:52.700 Kings.

01:54:53.300 Kings.

01:54:54.160 We really like that.

01:54:55.500 And we only like it because then we don't have to remember stuff.

01:54:59.980 You know, we get in the booth and we're like, oh, I know that name.

01:55:03.800 Click.

01:55:04.660 That's the only reason why that works.

01:55:06.760 Honestly.

01:55:07.460 Is we are so lazy.

01:55:09.620 We're like, I don't know who to vote.

01:55:11.620 Oh, I think I've heard that name before.

01:55:14.360 Yes, P.

01:55:14.880 Elizabeth.

01:55:15.700 Pull it.

01:55:16.300 Pull it.

01:55:17.640 Anyway, let me play something here from CNN that just stunned the host.

01:55:26.560 She was on and they were talking about why are people, so many people, coming to New York that are illegal aliens.

01:55:35.280 Listen.

01:55:36.660 I'm looking at the dates that their arrest started, which is probably close to when they got here.

01:55:40.820 They've only been here a couple of months.

01:55:42.120 So what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York to all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and then come back.

01:55:51.360 And I'm like, well, why don't they just stay and steal in Florida?

01:55:53.500 And they said, because there you go to jail.

01:55:55.020 Oh, great point.

01:56:00.820 It is a great point.

01:56:02.020 Oh, yeah.

01:56:05.640 Break to a commercial quickly.

01:56:07.040 I mean, it's remarkable how we talked about this last week.

01:56:14.180 This is all just common sense.

01:56:15.720 Everybody knows the answer.

01:56:17.180 Everybody knows the answer.

01:56:17.940 You want to fix the border.

01:56:20.740 The first thing you have to do is just close it until we can get a handle on what we already have.

01:56:25.460 You know, it's as if we are being told it's unreasonable to turn the water off on a tub that is overflowing and is now leaking through the kitchen ceiling.

01:56:39.440 They're all standing there going, no, no, wait, we have to decide what to do first.

01:56:45.540 We have to.

01:56:46.020 How are we going to mop this up?

01:56:47.900 Turn the water off.

01:56:51.000 Everybody knows that.

01:56:52.760 Turn the water off.

01:56:55.500 Now, yeah, but what are we going to do about crime?

01:56:58.720 Arrest and prosecute.

01:57:01.480 It's I don't know.

01:57:02.840 It's worked for thousands of years.

01:57:05.340 Let's give it a whirl.

01:57:06.560 You know, it is all such common sense.

01:57:12.160 And that is you have been convinced by the mainstream media.

01:57:17.480 And here's how it works every time.

01:57:19.740 You will say, turn the water off.

01:57:22.320 Well, yes, but do you know anything about the electricity and the walls and the floor?

01:57:27.940 No.

01:57:28.560 Well, you don't know anything about the electricity.

01:57:31.080 Can you just leave this to the experts here?

01:57:33.240 And then you walk away and go, well, I don't know.

01:57:35.420 It had something to do with the electricity in the wall or the floor.

01:57:38.480 No, it doesn't.

01:57:39.840 Turn the water off.

01:57:43.340 It's simple.

01:57:44.540 Unless you are talking about, you know, nuclear energy.

01:57:49.680 That's when you're that's when you might want to sit that one out.

01:57:53.060 You know, I don't know.

01:57:54.400 Why don't we just take the rods out of the water?

01:57:56.960 You know, sit that one out.

01:57:58.560 I don't know enough on that one.

01:58:00.360 But on the simple things like, how can I help crime go away from my city?

01:58:04.760 I got the answer for you.

01:58:06.360 It's really simple.

01:58:07.440 I don't need any of you eggheads. 0.81

01:58:09.680 We have it.

01:58:11.340 Inflation.

01:58:12.320 Well, now it's so bad that we have to have a few experts just to tell us, OK, put your tray table up. 0.99

01:58:20.380 Put your head between your knees and kiss your butt goodbye because this whole plane could burst into flames. 0.91

01:58:27.940 But there's a chance a lot of us survive. 0.99

01:58:31.700 So here's what you do.

01:58:33.900 But the plane is going down.

01:58:35.520 What are we doing?

01:58:39.520 What are we doing?

01:58:40.680 When will America truly wake up to it's not that hard?

01:58:47.640 You know, when this administration is putting people in the FAA, in our towers, who have lower scores and qualifications of others,

01:58:58.760 but they happen to be a one-armed lesbian who is also transgendered and thinks they're a rainbow pony and they get the job. 0.91

01:59:11.520 Common sense says you're going to have a lot of near misses.

01:59:16.400 Have you noticed what's been happening in the sky?

01:59:18.940 I think it's 18 near misses in the last few months.

01:59:21.960 Eight.

01:59:22.680 Teen.

01:59:24.120 Why?

01:59:25.280 Well, they just changed the rules on how to become an air traffic controller.

01:59:28.480 They just give it out to anybody as long as they fit the narrative.

01:59:32.520 Common sense will say that's going to get people killed.

01:59:36.120 Let's go for merit here.

01:59:38.300 Let's go for merit.

01:59:39.660 As planes fall out of the sky, there is a reason why the world's greatest engineering group, Boeing,

01:59:49.380 now has planes that don't work and fall out of the sky.

01:59:53.940 Oh, what could it be?

01:59:56.240 I don't know.

01:59:57.140 Maybe the fact that they changed the entire leadership chain from engineering people to financial people.

02:00:08.800 And the bean counters don't know how to build an airplane. 1.00

02:00:13.220 That could be it.

02:00:14.440 And that the bean counters also had a lot of the rainbow pony thing going on with them. 0.76

02:00:21.180 And they cared more about their woke policies than planes that work.

02:00:26.740 It's really not that hard to figure out.

02:00:29.160 That's what do you say?

02:00:29.780 We just get together peacefully and we're just like, hey, you know what?

02:00:32.900 Not going to do that anymore because it doesn't work.

02:00:35.180 Not going to do it.

02:00:35.940 Back in just a minute.

02:00:39.420 Sponsor of this F hour is Relief Factor.

02:00:42.180 I don't endorse products on the program that I don't believe in and that I don't personally use,

02:00:47.420 especially if it's something that you would take in your body.

02:00:49.660 I don't, I just don't do it.

02:00:52.320 I don't like it.

02:00:52.960 If I haven't tried it myself, if I haven't gone through the experience just like you, not the Glenn Beck is going to call today.

02:00:59.360 So make sure you treat him well.

02:01:01.420 I don't do that.

02:01:02.440 I just call at any hour of the day, anytime they have no idea I'm calling and I vet them and I use their product.

02:01:09.120 I see the delivery and the customer service and everything else.

02:01:12.460 Relief Factor is the, this is the reason why I didn't take Relief Factor as a, as a sponsor for a very long time because I hadn't used it and didn't believe it.

02:01:21.300 I didn't think it would work.

02:01:22.580 My wife finally made me take it. 0.66

02:01:24.560 It's a hundred percent drug free, which is why I didn't think it would work.

02:01:27.700 I mean, Pfizer, I mean, they got all the experts there.

02:01:30.400 Of course they know what's going to help eliminate pain.

02:01:33.640 This is a hundred percent natural.

02:01:35.500 A million people have tried it.

02:01:36.660 It works for about 70% of the population, but see how it can change your life.

02:01:41.820 I got out of pain.

02:01:42.800 Get out of pain.

02:01:43.540 Just try the 1995 three week quick start.

02:01:46.320 Take it as directed.

02:01:47.820 They have their, you feel better or money back guarantee.

02:01:50.540 So you don't have anything to lose.

02:01:52.440 Give it a try.

02:02:10.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:02:13.020 We'll be right back.

02:02:14.420 We'll be right back.

02:02:16.420 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

02:02:32.540 Stu.

02:02:33.300 Yeah.

02:02:33.660 So Glenn, one of the things we talk about on the border is that we should just enforce the law.

02:02:37.600 The law already has plenty of tools for us to solve these problems and we just don't enforce them, which I think is largely true, or at least would be an incredible improvement if we did these things.

02:02:48.300 The problem with this.

02:02:49.720 Because law is no longer the supreme ruler of the land.

02:02:55.080 Yeah, that's kind of my thing.

02:02:56.660 That's exactly what I'm trying to get to here, which is there now seems to be this acceptable standard that whoever is president sort of determines what laws will be enforced and which ones will not.

02:03:10.500 And when you're in that situation, what is – no matter what great bill you pass, what is the solution?

02:03:17.200 I mean, is the solution essentially you must win every presidential election or your entire sovereignty falls apart?

02:03:23.160 I mean, that's –

02:03:23.880 Again, I go back to we've got to re-educate the people about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

02:03:32.800 If we are going to live this way in this country and be free, then we have to reset the system back to its original parameters.

02:03:42.640 The reason why presidents can do this is because of this vast, unnamed, faceless administration that said, well, the FDA just said, well, who at the FDA?

02:03:55.580 What?

02:03:55.920 How do I – can I call them?

02:03:57.300 Can I make my case?

02:03:58.740 There's nobody that you can blame or vote out.

02:04:03.300 And so the president, like as designed, beginning with Woodrow Wilson, then has to make decisions and issue edicts.

02:04:12.260 We don't want that system. 0.88

02:04:14.380 And that's the problem.

02:04:16.000 We'll see you tomorrow.
