00:00:30.000 I want to talk to you about a sponsor of ours called Covenant Eyes.

00:00:34.520 They cover something that nobody really wants to talk about, pornography.

00:00:38.240 It is rampant in our culture.

00:00:40.000 It destroys marriages.

00:00:41.560 It destroys men.

00:00:42.880 It's like any hard drug.

00:00:44.460 In fact, it has the same kind of problems that heroin has, the effects on the brain.

00:00:50.140 It's addicting, and it's very hard to quit.

00:00:53.340 You might have experienced it yourself.

00:00:55.500 You might have, you know, with somebody you love.

00:00:57.300 I want to talk to you about the Victory app by Covenant Eyes.

00:01:01.140 It is a powerful tool for Christians who are serious and want to quit porn altogether for good or maybe never start in the first place. 0.98

00:01:09.280 It combines industry-leading technology with decades of experience and leadership.

00:01:13.240 Once you've installed the Victory app on your devices, it'll run silently in the background, notifying a person of your choosing if your online behavior doesn't match your goals.

00:01:24.440 Recovery from addiction is a journey.

00:01:26.840 Please get started on your path to recovery.

00:01:29.660 CovenantEyes.com slash Glenn.

00:02:13.220 And hold the light.

00:02:16.680 It's a new day.

00:02:19.340 Time to rain.

00:02:26.280 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:34.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:37.260 Hello, America.

00:02:40.660 New poll is out.

00:02:41.940 Finding Democrats are losing big among black and Hispanic Americans.

00:02:46.360 It should be extraordinarily concerning to the Democratic Party.

00:02:50.620 We'll tell you about that, which kind of leads me to all of the stories out about Joe Biden and all of his gaffes lately and his mental decline and how it just can't continue and can't be ignored anymore.

00:03:06.220 I think this goes into he's not going to be the candidate that actually runs.

00:03:12.340 And speaking of candidates, Nikki Haley, after Nevada, said Trump rigged that state.

00:03:18.960 And so we don't even count it.

00:03:20.720 Good.

00:03:21.200 More rigging.

00:03:21.780 Speaking of that, the Supreme Court today is hearing arguments.

00:03:26.360 And we're allowed to dip into the audio today and actually hear the Supreme Court arguments online and on the radio today is something that really is very rare.

00:03:38.920 But they're talking about whether or not you can take Donald Trump off the ballot.

00:03:43.460 All kinds of doors and Pandora's box open up.

00:03:46.840 This is a razor edge kind of ruling.

00:03:50.640 We'll hear the arguments coming up in just a second.

00:03:54.120 Also, papers, please.

00:03:55.960 The continual march to fascism continues.

00:03:59.840 And the EU lawmakers are now calling for a travel ban on Tucker Carlson, who also was added to what's called the kill list from Ukraine.

00:04:11.960 Oh, man, who doesn't love freedom of speech in the press?

00:04:15.880 Oh, they don't.

00:04:17.680 We'll continue and begin there in 60 seconds.

00:04:22.440 First, let me tell you about LifeLock.

00:04:23.860 You want to know the latest craze in cybercriminal world.

00:04:26.580 It's QR codes.

00:04:28.080 They're on everything.

00:04:29.280 Turns out pretty easy to replace a legitimate QR code with one that will direct you to malicious sites that, you know, exist just to steal your data from your phone.

00:04:38.460 If it doesn't sound like a lot of fun, then you should have LifeLock and get protected.

00:04:43.360 It's important that you are protected because your personal information gets exposed so often, making it dangerously easy for a cybercriminal to steal your identity.

00:04:52.980 But protecting yourself can be easy with LifeLock by Norton.

00:04:57.540 LifeLock detects and alerts you to the threats you might not spot on your own.

00:05:01.220 Things like loans taken out in your name or cybercriminals pretending to be you.

00:05:06.440 If you do become a victim of identity theft, a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist is going to work to fix it for you.

00:05:32.320 So, you know, you gotta love those people that just hate fascism so much that if a reporter goes in and gets the other side, you put them on a kill list.

00:05:44.460 Don't you?

00:05:45.260 Hmm.

00:05:46.180 Don't you?

00:05:46.780 I mean, I think it's great.

00:05:48.000 Nobody's even seen the interview yet.

00:05:50.000 They don't even know what the questions were to Putin.

00:05:53.740 It's not posted until, what, 5 o'clock tonight, I think?

00:05:56.380 Yeah, but wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:05:57.560 But does it matter, Pat?

00:05:59.800 Does it matter what the questions are?

00:06:02.340 No, it doesn't.

00:06:03.940 And does it matter to you?

00:06:05.140 I mean, he still has a right to go.

00:06:07.140 Oh, of course he does.

00:06:07.700 I mean, it matters to me personally.

00:06:08.960 I mean, I'm hopeful that he's going to ask some tough questions of Putin.

00:06:12.200 But should he be able to, as a journalist, go over there and interview him?

00:06:16.380 Yes, a million have done that.

00:06:18.620 Why is it okay for Mike Wallace and Barbara Walters and all the rest to have done it?

00:06:23.040 But now, all of a sudden, it's off limits to Tucker Carlson.

00:06:26.680 It's unbelievable.

00:06:27.200 Members of the European Parliament are calling for sanctions against Tucker Carlson.

00:06:31.680 Man, I mean, that's real accomplishment there.

00:06:35.100 You know what I mean?

00:06:35.960 Yeah.

00:06:36.180 And the European Parliament's coming after you.

00:06:37.800 Carlson posted a video on X announcing that he was going to do the Moscow interview with Putin.

00:06:44.640 And the former prime minister of Belgium said the bloc should consider imposing a travel ban for serving as a mouthpiece for Putin.

00:06:53.080 He doesn't know that.

00:06:55.100 They don't know that yet.

00:06:56.280 You haven't heard the interview.

00:06:58.840 And he's a journalist.

00:07:01.180 My gosh, where were you when everybody was hyping up Hitler?

00:07:06.360 So it drops tonight.

00:07:09.400 And here's how I'm going to watch it.

00:07:12.160 And I would like to get your opinion, Pat, on what to look for in this interview.

00:07:18.420 First of all, we know, Megyn Kelly has talked about, and you know this going in, and Tucker's smart enough to know this.

00:07:24.020 Putin is very good at propaganda, and he's a KGB guy, okay?

00:07:31.300 So he knows how to manipulate people.

00:07:34.220 And he knows that there are people looking for an American dictator in America.

00:07:39.580 They're tired of, I told you, I told you this.

00:07:42.680 This is how communists take over.

00:07:44.480 Sure, they infiltrate the government, and then they activate the people that are on the streets, grassroots, to cause all kinds of problems,

00:07:55.140 until the people in the middle are like, somebody has got to stop this, and that's when the top comes down.

00:08:01.920 So there are people that are looking for a dictator just to make all this stop.

00:08:05.740 I am not one of them.

00:08:07.360 I think this is the worst possible scenario, but Dugan would be pushing, Alexander Dugan, if you don't know who he is,

00:08:17.500 listen to some of the old shows or just look him up.

00:08:20.460 Very dangerous guy.

00:08:22.080 Very, very dangerous.

00:08:24.020 He would be pushing Putin to talk about our immorality, transgenderism, our loss of faith.

00:08:31.960 Tucker has got to keep this on the rails.

00:08:34.760 This is not about America.

00:08:36.340 We could talk about that all day long, but I don't want to hear that from Vladimir Putin.

00:08:42.140 We're here to talk to you about the American involvement in this war in Ukraine, not our internal policy.

00:08:50.360 But Tucker will have lost control of the interview if he allows Putin to go on about America's immorality more than once.

00:09:02.720 You can let him say that once, and then you've got to say, Mr. Putin, this is not about America.

00:09:09.520 We have our own problems.

00:09:11.200 But I don't think it's appropriate to talk to you about our internal policy.

00:09:15.840 I'm here to talk to you about NATO, even the American war machine, if you want to call it that.

00:09:23.180 I want to hear why you're in Ukraine.

00:09:26.160 Are you willing to look for peace?

00:09:27.940 What would that look like?

00:09:29.700 So look for Putin to spin this whole thing into transgenderism and what's happening in our schools.

00:09:38.160 Because that's that then is propaganda.

00:09:43.260 We know who Putin is.

00:09:44.940 We know how he stops drugs on the streets.

00:09:47.020 We know how he treats media members who speak out about him in a negative way.

00:09:50.880 They usually fall from their apartment window or they go up to a higher floor and then jump from that or I'm sorry, fall out of that window happens all the time.

00:10:01.000 He has to talk about a peace deal, even the drones that have come from Ukraine, from us, NATO, all of that.

00:10:10.260 Tucker also says we've been lied to.

00:10:13.220 I want to know about what.

00:10:17.160 We know our problems.

00:10:18.940 Now let's hear solutions to the war and what the truth is on war.

00:10:28.440 That's what I'm looking for tonight from Tucker.

00:10:31.680 I hope that's what he does.

00:10:34.520 If he keeps it on track like that, it'd be a great interview.

00:10:38.800 It'd be a great interview.

00:10:40.100 Because nobody's ever heard from Putin why the invasion took place in the first place.

00:10:45.800 Why did you invade at this time?

00:10:49.600 What are you talking about?

00:10:51.880 The Nazis that are involved in Ukraine.

00:10:55.360 Explain that to me.

00:10:56.200 Who's a Nazi in Ukraine?

00:10:58.540 Are you saying Vladimir Zelensky is a Nazi?

00:11:01.940 No.

00:11:03.240 Because we did this when Trump was being impeached, and remember that huge chalkboard I did, Pat?

00:11:09.160 It had all of this in it.

00:11:11.580 There are Nazis, and the Ukrainian government has been funding them on the border for security. 0.82

00:11:21.740 There are some really, really bad guys.

00:11:24.540 There's nobody that's good in this.

00:11:26.100 I mean, nobody.

00:11:27.500 Nobody that's a good guy in this.

00:11:30.280 Either side.

00:11:31.140 Zelensky or Putin.

00:11:33.900 I personally just, they should work it out.

00:11:36.900 The reason why I think Putin did this is because we refuse to say, no, we've made a promise from the very beginning.

00:11:46.400 It wasn't written down, but we're people of honor.

00:11:50.140 We will not allow Ukraine into NATO. 0.96

00:11:54.340 We won't let Ukraine be overrun by you, but we're also not going to let them into NATO. 1.00

00:12:02.040 That's all that Putin was asking for at first.

00:12:05.960 And that was violated.

00:12:07.780 I mean, that's just a fact.

00:12:09.620 That's just a fact.

00:12:11.040 And so they went back on that promise that we weren't going to allow them into or invite them into NATO, and we did that.

00:12:18.440 So that was a problem of our making.

00:12:24.340 So there's an article out by me, an op-ed out by me on Blaze Media about being a fascist.

00:12:31.260 If you're on the side of freedom, you cannot be a fascist.

00:12:35.780 Let me explain this.

00:12:38.380 Fascist is the label of choice from the left to silence any and everybody. 1.00

00:12:43.640 You're a fascist. 1.00

00:12:44.280 You're a fascist. 0.99

00:12:44.840 And when you hear fascist, you think of concentration camps, as you should, because those are usually a product of fascism in the end, 0.95

00:12:53.640 because you have to get rid of your political opponents, because they are standing in the way of progress.

00:12:58.500 So unless you're in a free state, you can't have people who disagree with you.

00:13:04.320 That's really important.

00:13:05.940 What's happening with Tucker Carlson in the EU?

00:13:10.000 What's happening?

00:13:10.820 What do they want to do to Tucker Carlson?

00:13:12.340 You're in a free state.

00:13:13.800 You have a First Amendment right to be able to have unfettered access to press, and the press can ask whatever it is they want.

00:13:24.840 The first definition of freedom is being able to speak your mind.

00:13:30.560 So the first thing that you'll notice about fascism is it has to silence the voices that disagree.

00:13:38.320 I will invite and have invited anybody and everybody on this program.

00:13:45.860 They're choosing not to.

00:13:48.140 That's fine.

00:13:49.140 That's up to them.

00:13:51.120 But don't try to silence me.

00:13:54.100 I'm not trying to silence you.

00:13:56.380 If there is fascism in the country, it is coming from the left.

00:14:01.200 And you should not throw the word fascist around.

00:14:05.280 It's never really fit in the United States up until recently.

00:14:09.880 Maybe in the last 15 years, we've started moving towards that.

00:14:14.600 First, I thought we were moving towards communism.

00:14:17.700 But we're not moving towards communism.

00:14:20.200 The difference between communism and fascism, communism is collective.

00:14:25.600 So we're all in this together, and the individual doesn't matter.

00:14:30.960 We have to do what's right for the collective.

00:14:32.860 But communism takes that a step further and says, therefore, the state shall own and run everything.

00:14:41.840 And they'll tell you where you're going to work, what you're going to do, all of it.

00:14:48.520 Fascism is different.

00:14:50.660 Fascism allows the people to own their own property, own their own things with the illusion of running them.

00:14:58.600 And so the state gets involved every step of the way.

00:15:03.320 And this is why fascism eventually falls apart, because you start to get into price controls and everything else.

00:15:10.040 And you start just telling these companies what they can and cannot make.

00:15:15.440 And the government can't central – centralized power never works.

00:15:20.520 You can't have central command for some sort of capitalism, if you could even call that.

00:15:26.040 Now, the reason why I'm bringing this up is because yesterday, Janet Yellen was asked by Ayanna Pressley.

00:15:36.380 She asked Janet Yellen's Secretary of the Treasury if racism posed a threat to the American financial system.

00:15:45.400 Well, yes, of course, said Secretary Yellen.

00:15:48.920 Financial institutions perpetuate and benefit from racism.

00:15:53.040 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:15:55.220 So, Yellen said it could be and it is one of the factors that Dodd-Frank told us to take into account considering designations.

00:16:06.280 So, what her point was, why Presley brought this up, was because is racism a problem that the Treasury is looking at?

00:16:15.380 The Treasury should not be looking at racism.

00:16:17.700 The Treasury should be looking at basic laws for finance.

00:16:21.680 So, Presley said there's a drugstore in Walgreens and Walgreens in Roxbury, Massachusetts, they closed and they said it was because of crime.

00:16:36.080 But that's life-threatening and it's based on racial discrimination and economic grounds.

00:16:42.920 So, what she's saying is Walgreens, even though they said they cannot open their doors because they're robbed every day and no one can have business,

00:17:00.660 Presley says the government should consider that racism and therefore tell Walmart or Walgreens exactly what to do.

00:17:11.060 I'm sorry, you're not closing down there.

00:17:14.360 You have to keep it open.

00:17:16.660 That's fascism, gang.

00:17:18.800 That is fascism.

00:17:20.700 One more story.

00:17:22.560 The feds now want to card you to use the internet.

00:17:27.000 U.S. lawmakers' motivation for online ID and age verification and tech CEO support for these measures

00:17:33.240 is a significant shift in privacy and your anonymity online.

00:17:41.840 What they're talking about now, and it was, you know, suggested first by Mark Zuckerberg, it would be great, wouldn't it?

00:17:49.960 That you have to perform, you have to have a digital ID that will allow you on the internet.

00:17:56.720 So, whenever you do that, now, positively, absolutely, everything is monitored on what you do.

00:18:05.260 You do have a right to privacy.

00:18:10.520 You know, if everybody is tracking what you do, what you look at, AI can put together,

00:18:18.160 well, for instance, if you're looking up a bunch of different drugs, AI can put together and go,

00:18:24.800 oh, he's making crack cocaine, or oh, he's trying to find out where he can buy this to kill his wife

00:18:31.000 and bury her in the backyard, and you'd say, that's good. 0.97

00:18:34.880 But if you're in fascism, and you have giant overlords that are watching over you on everything,

00:18:42.140 you can't come up with a better mousetrap.

00:18:46.580 You can't have government watching your every move.

00:18:51.680 This is fascistic.

00:18:53.240 Again, the government in bed with big tech.

00:18:57.440 Back in just a minute.

00:19:00.900 NMLS 182334.

00:19:10.380 We are fighting a war, you know this, both literally and on a cultural level,

00:19:15.720 on a political level, mainly, I think, on a spiritual level,

00:19:19.840 but most people haven't woken up to that yet.

00:19:22.060 Things are going to get intense as we go along, and believe it or not,

00:19:25.280 it is being fiscally responsible to look at your role in all of this.

00:19:32.520 Do you own a home?

00:19:34.540 Do you have credit cards that are way out of whack with interest rates?

00:19:39.280 Great news, interest rates have dropped now, and they're in the fives,

00:19:43.760 which is a lot lower than they were last year.

00:19:46.260 And I think they're going to be low this year.

00:19:48.280 They may even fall this year because of the election.

00:19:53.240 They're going to make everything easy for you.

00:19:55.720 So you might want to move now on the high-interest credit card

00:19:59.560 and break free from that and refinance your credit card debt.

00:20:05.000 You can write off the interest.

00:20:06.980 You're going to save the average person in this audience.

00:20:09.960 Last year saved an average of $854 a month.

00:20:13.860 That's like giving yourself a $10,000 raise,

00:20:16.480 and you might be able to skip up to two mortgage payments.

00:20:31.000 10-second station ID.

00:20:43.760 So the other thing that concerns me about fascism in America,

00:20:50.620 and you have to explain to your friends because that's such a loaded word,

00:20:54.000 we're not talking necessarily about actual Nazis.

00:20:59.220 And it never starts out with that.

00:21:03.780 It never starts out with – it just starts out –

00:21:07.260 the book burning was the first thing in Germany.

00:21:10.180 Okay?

00:21:10.720 First thing.

00:21:12.600 And it was all about LGBTQ because the people in Germany were like,

00:21:18.340 are all of our – you know, everything that made us a German republic

00:21:22.580 is being destroyed by the Weimar Republic.

00:21:25.760 And these morals and changing men into women, it's got to stop. 0.99

00:21:31.460 Well, the Nazis answered that question with book burnings. 0.81

00:21:35.040 And so it usually starts that way.

00:21:38.220 And we have to be really, really careful.

00:21:42.200 Europe is already up in arms because Donald Trump got us out of the Paris Accords,

00:21:47.320 so we are a few years behind Europe.

00:21:49.640 But farmers in France and Germany, all over Europe, Sweden, Italy,

00:21:57.480 they are all en masse rising up.

00:22:00.540 And it's all because the price of diesel fuel,

00:22:03.740 the idea that you can't use insecticides or you can't use fertilizer anymore,

00:22:12.340 and you have to reduce the herd size that you have of animals for meat,

00:22:19.740 they know they can't survive.

00:22:22.560 The government is offering handouts to, you know, no, no, we'll help you survive,

00:22:26.980 to reduce the size of their food input.

00:22:31.240 If you get rid of fertilizer, you reduce the crops by 40 to 50 percent.

00:22:37.180 People are going to starve.

00:22:39.940 Farmers are going to lose their farms.

00:22:44.340 And we'll get a bunch of experts and a giant corporation to run them then, huh?

00:22:49.360 You need to watch last night's TV show.

00:22:52.840 It's available everywhere, including on the YouTube channel,

00:22:56.360 youtube.com slash Glenn Beck,

00:22:58.580 or on blazetv.com.

00:23:01.180 Come and support us.

00:23:02.320 Watch last night's special on what's really happening.

00:23:05.780 It's not about Biden and Trump.

00:23:08.100 This is happening all over the world.

00:23:10.880 Watch it.

00:23:12.940 Glenn Beck.

00:23:15.880 Standing up for what you believe in can be challenging.

00:23:18.720 I know that.

00:23:19.340 And if you're not exercising that muscle now and doing the easy things,

00:23:24.100 no matter how much you think you will,

00:23:26.260 you won't stand up when it really becomes hard.

00:23:29.040 So you need to exercise this muscle.

00:23:32.100 You need to do the things that aren't so challenging.

00:23:34.240 And one of those things could be like buying from companies that share your values.

00:23:39.840 Buying locally is big.

00:23:42.560 We need to stick together now more than ever.

00:23:45.060 There's one company that's willing to stand with you in the defense of liberty and religious freedom,

00:23:48.820 and they've been doing it since 2012.

00:23:51.100 It's Patriot Mobile.

00:23:52.240 On top of having everything you could possibly want in a mobile phone plan on one of the three major networks,

00:23:58.880 Patriot Mobile also does not send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.

00:24:05.420 You will get the same nationwide service and coverage.

00:24:10.100 You will save money by switching to Patriot Mobile,

00:24:13.400 and you'll be supporting a company that's helping save America.

00:24:17.500 They have a plan for your budget.

00:24:19.500 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:24:25.700 Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, 7 to 9 Eastern, live, or anytime, anywhere you get your podcasts.

00:24:47.000 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:49.560 I want to thank WELI and New Haven for hosting us this week.

00:24:53.660 They've been so gracious, so gracious, as have so many people.

00:25:00.020 My father-in-law is in the hospital at Yale New Haven and has been very, very sick for a while now,

00:25:09.280 but he keeps, I mean, he's got like, not nine lives.

00:25:12.680 He has the lives of nine cats, and he just keeps chugging along.

00:25:20.400 This has been a very, very frightening one.

00:25:22.900 He's been in the hospital since last week, and they're taking him off life support today

00:25:29.780 in hopes that his body will be able to function,

00:25:35.000 but he's on 24-hour dialysis and, you know, heart medicine to keep his heart going,

00:25:41.520 and none of those can be, you know, you can't walk around with a dialysis machine.

00:25:46.220 And so we're taking him off today, and then I think it's tomorrow he'll have the regular three-hour dialysis,

00:25:56.880 which is a real shock to your body.

00:25:59.680 I mean, it's, you know, taking all your blood out, cleaning it, and pushing it back in in a three-hour period,

00:26:04.480 and it's been screwing up his heart and his liver, and, I mean, it's just, the body is such an amazing thing.

00:26:14.320 And when you see what it takes, what kind of machinery it takes to, you know, clean your blood,

00:26:19.320 which a small little organ does in your body, two little organs, your kidneys,

00:26:23.900 it's incredible how people don't go, yeah, you know what, I think there's, you know.

00:26:29.400 It's not Lincoln Logs.

00:26:31.740 And when one thing goes wrong with your body, it just starts to cascade, and it's amazing.

00:26:38.120 So we're going to be dealing with that this weekend.

00:26:41.280 Please keep him and the family, as we also heard the kid's aunt, who has been fighting cancer,

00:26:49.600 was just put into the hospital, and this may be her last weekend as well,

00:26:55.640 just in another hospital down the street.

00:26:58.360 Yikes.

00:26:58.440 So it's, yeah, it's going to be, hey, happy birthday, Glenn.

00:27:01.820 It's my 60th tomorrow.

00:27:03.880 You know, it's almost like God is saying, you get the point yet?

00:27:08.400 Do you understand the point yet?

00:27:10.940 Yes, I do.

00:27:11.820 Okay, I get it.

00:27:13.740 So.

00:27:14.560 Well, it's good that we've got surprises and planned for your birthday. 1.00

00:27:18.780 Oh, shut up. 0.99

00:27:19.420 It's a celebration tomorrow. 1.00

00:27:20.580 Pat, what is this, really, seriously?

00:27:22.400 I can't tell you.

00:27:22.760 I've been hearing from, I've been hearing.

00:27:24.520 But I told them, you know, your producers came to me, and they're like,

00:27:27.620 we're going to do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:27:30.400 And I'm like, he doesn't like surprises on the air.

00:27:34.600 You know that, right?

00:27:35.740 I like surprises off the air.

00:27:37.640 Yeah, not on the air.

00:27:38.220 Not on the air.

00:27:39.060 Right.

00:27:39.580 They usually don't go well, is what I told them.

00:27:44.200 But they think this is going to go really well.

00:27:46.600 So.

00:27:46.720 Oh, no.

00:27:47.280 I'm excited about it.

00:27:49.280 Oh, no.

00:27:50.660 Yeah, no.

00:27:51.080 It's going to go well.

00:27:51.440 Do you know what it is?

00:27:52.160 I don't know exactly, precisely.

00:27:55.040 I know some.

00:27:55.760 I know some people and some things.

00:27:59.700 But not everything.

00:28:02.260 Nobody cares.

00:28:03.360 Honestly, nobody cares.

00:28:05.940 Lots of people are having their 60th birthday.

00:28:09.280 You know, I'm not alone in that.

00:28:10.460 And nobody cares.

00:28:11.780 If you want to do something.

00:28:13.380 Did you tell them this?

00:28:14.960 If you want to do something, what would I like, Pat?

00:28:18.280 What would I like on the air?

00:28:20.040 If you're going to do something, I'm marking my birthday.

00:28:22.840 A roast.

00:28:24.120 Yeah.

00:28:24.460 A roast.

00:28:24.780 A giant wrecking ball on me.

00:28:27.220 Yeah.

00:28:27.360 Yeah.

00:28:27.400 I would love that.

00:28:28.840 Yes.

00:28:29.020 I would love that.

00:28:30.240 Right.

00:28:30.800 Mocking you.

00:28:31.840 Making fun of you.

00:28:33.180 Mocking me.

00:28:34.140 You know.

00:28:34.460 Yes.

00:28:34.960 Putting me in a wheelchair for the day.

00:28:36.760 You know what?

00:28:37.060 Jeffy and I can handle that part of it.

00:28:39.480 Well, could you balance this out?

00:28:41.600 I think so.

00:28:42.100 If it's going to be.

00:28:42.460 I think I could do that.

00:28:44.460 Yeah.

00:28:44.600 And keep it.

00:28:45.220 Keep.

00:28:45.600 As my Uncle Leo used to say.

00:28:47.240 Keep it a short.

00:28:49.140 Yes.

00:28:49.460 Keep it a short.

00:28:50.200 Yeah.

00:28:50.580 Okay.

00:28:51.340 So that's tomorrow?

00:28:52.500 So that's tomorrow.

00:28:53.900 Mm-hmm.

00:28:55.540 What if I suddenly get sick?

00:28:57.780 Oh, that would.

00:28:58.780 You know, we'd have to do it without you, I'm sure.

00:29:02.860 It might be better.

00:29:05.140 All right.

00:29:05.680 So let's see.

00:29:06.580 There's a couple of other things that are going on.

00:29:10.120 The U.S. debt on a pace now to top $54 trillion by 2030.

00:29:19.540 What would it be?

00:29:19.960 Yeah, it was 10 years.

00:29:22.800 10 years.

00:29:23.980 So that's not bad, right?

00:29:25.920 Yeah.

00:29:26.080 It's not a quadrillion yet.

00:29:28.180 No.

00:29:28.960 Come on.

00:29:29.440 It's a long way from a quadrillion.

00:29:31.360 It's a long way from a quadrillion.

00:29:32.780 Long way from a quadrillion.

00:29:34.520 So that's a good thing.

00:29:37.120 I love the stat, and repeat this often, that it took us from George Washington to Ronald Reagan

00:29:44.960 in 1980 to accrue $1 trillion in debt.

00:29:49.240 Now we do it every 100 days.

00:29:52.720 A trillion more.

00:29:54.080 Every 100 days.

00:29:56.700 You remember when a trillion used to mean something?

00:29:59.020 Yeah.

00:29:59.620 Yeah.

00:29:59.820 Honestly, I cannot, when I look at, you know, $50 million, a government just wasted $50 million.

00:30:07.140 You're like...

00:30:07.720 You don't even think about that anymore.

00:30:09.080 Yeah.

00:30:09.220 You're like, so big deal?

00:30:10.780 Why is anybody talking about $40 million?

00:30:13.700 Oh, big deal.

00:30:14.480 Right.

00:30:14.660 If it's billion, you even kind of think...

00:30:17.540 Yeah, you barely pay attention to that.

00:30:19.800 Yeah.

00:30:19.980 Wait, you're only talking about $60 billion to go to Ukraine?

00:30:23.660 Yeah.

00:30:23.840 Why am I opposed to that?

00:30:25.280 That's fine.

00:30:25.940 I mean, we do that all day.

00:30:27.840 We've wasted that by this afternoon.

00:30:30.260 Yep.

00:30:31.360 What do you, you know, do you remember Barack Obama did, what was it, 700, I can remember

00:30:38.760 the number, I think, $787 billion stimulus package.

00:30:44.040 Yes.

00:30:44.140 Wasn't that the number?

00:30:44.800 Yes, that was the number.

00:30:45.340 You know me, I don't remember numbers, I don't remember facts like that.

00:30:48.820 Yeah.

00:30:50.160 $787 billion.

00:30:51.560 That was in 2008 after the collapse, and it was so...

00:30:55.220 It started the Tea Party.

00:30:56.920 Yeah.

00:30:57.660 Because everybody said $787 billion.

00:31:02.080 That's crazy.

00:31:03.020 That's almost a trillion.

00:31:04.500 Yeah, right.

00:31:05.360 We're doing a trillion dollars every 100 days.

00:31:09.800 There's over 300 days in a year.

00:31:12.940 It's madness.

00:31:13.780 Oh my gosh, it's crazy.

00:31:15.560 Absolute madness.

00:31:16.980 So that's more than $3 trillion a year.

00:31:21.120 $3.5 trillion a year.

00:31:24.220 And still, you know, the things that America should be in the streets revolting about, we

00:31:31.280 don't even, we don't even bat an eye at.

00:31:33.560 So why is that?

00:31:34.560 Why is that?

00:31:35.400 Are we, I've been thinking about this a lot.

00:31:38.340 I think we're beaten down, for one thing.

00:31:40.340 I think we've just been beaten down, and we don't think that anything works, and nobody

00:31:44.480 listens to us, and it doesn't matter.

00:31:46.420 And why are they working so hard to silence all of us?

00:31:49.980 I know.

00:31:50.560 Seriously, if it doesn't work, why are they working so hard?

00:31:55.500 Look at, Tucker Carlson went over and did an interview.

00:31:57.720 The EU wants to ban his travel all across Europe because now he's an enemy of the state.

00:32:06.560 All he did was go over and talk to Putin, put it on film, and bring it back and show it.

00:32:12.500 Are you kidding me?

00:32:13.380 That makes you an enemy of the state, A, fascism, B, it should tell you why they are trying

00:32:22.720 to silence voices and your voice, quite honestly.

00:32:27.200 They're trying to silence everybody.

00:32:29.840 They are afraid of you.

00:32:35.520 I don't know why we don't get that.

00:32:37.620 I really, I don't.

00:32:38.640 Yeah.

00:32:38.840 I don't.

00:32:39.380 I know.

00:32:39.640 And, you know, there's a story in, from the AP, AP News today.

00:32:45.240 Millions of Americans are juggling costs.

00:32:48.900 They pay rent or swim team fees for their kids, rent or school supply, rent or groceries.

00:32:56.740 What do you pay for?

00:32:59.300 Most Americans cannot afford their, a record number of Americans can no longer

00:33:07.960 make ends meet and afford their rent.

00:33:12.100 The latest data from the Harvard Joint Center of Housing Studies found that a record 22.4 million

00:33:18.320 renter households, half of the renters, are spending more than 30% of their income on rent

00:33:25.600 in 2022.

00:33:27.740 The number of affordable units, which rents under 600, also dropped to 7.2 million that year,

00:33:33.880 2.1 fewer than the decade earlier.

00:33:36.200 So, there is a record number of eviction filings, a record number of people becoming homeless.

00:33:43.560 What do you think is causing this?

00:33:47.500 God, I just get so frustrated with people.

00:33:50.320 What is causing this?

00:33:52.900 Capitalism.

00:33:53.700 No, it's not.

00:33:55.880 Capitalism, especially when it's not crony capitalism, which isn't capitalism.

00:34:01.340 That's the beginning of fascism, okay?

00:34:04.960 Man, what is wrong with the left?

00:34:06.760 What is wrong with all those Democrats who used to say, you can't be in bed, the government

00:34:11.720 should not be given corporate welfare?

00:34:14.160 They're doing so much more than corporate welfare now.

00:34:17.940 What is wrong with you people?

00:34:19.340 What happened to you?

00:34:20.760 And they're just ignoring laws all over the country.

00:34:27.020 You see what's happening in Atlanta right now?

00:34:29.460 Over 1,200 homes have been taken over by squatters.

00:34:34.800 Squatters are ruining entire neighborhoods.

00:34:37.280 Police response to evict them is so slow.

00:34:40.760 Some homeowners have resorted to paying nuisances to leave.

00:34:44.680 They pay the people to please leave my house, and the cops are telling them, yeah, there's

00:34:50.100 nothing we can do.

00:34:51.420 We can't remove them.

00:34:53.000 So when, because this is what will happen in rich neighborhoods.

00:34:56.660 Well, it already happens.

00:34:58.260 You know, they throw a wall around and put a gate out front, and then they hire their 0.97

00:35:01.620 own personal security.

00:35:03.100 Right.

00:35:03.500 How long before neighborhoods that can afford it?

00:35:06.380 See, this is why it hurts the poor first.

00:35:13.020 When you get rid of the police, it hurts the poor first.

00:35:18.640 Yes.

00:35:18.900 And it almost never goes away, because the poor cannot afford to have their own security.

00:35:27.080 The rich will get their own security in their neighborhoods.

00:35:30.440 You already pay for that.

00:35:32.100 And quite honestly, rich people pay for that in your neighborhood as well.

00:35:37.880 Most people in very poor neighborhoods are not paying taxes.

00:35:41.460 So who pays for the cops? 0.95

00:35:43.880 The rich people you're trying to get rid of.

00:35:47.320 Oh, my gosh.

00:35:49.360 You ever think you've lived too long?

00:35:53.400 Oh, man.

00:35:55.220 Probably. 1.00

00:35:55.620 I mean, how many years, Pat, did we spend just being so stupid? 1.00

00:36:01.720 And I have a feeling if we could live another 30 years, we'd look at ourselves today and 1.00

00:36:07.800 go, oh, my gosh, we were so stupid. 1.00

00:36:11.220 Yeah. 1.00

00:36:11.640 Don't you think?

00:36:12.540 Oh, I do.

00:36:13.020 I mean, yeah.

00:36:13.840 Look at all of the things.

00:36:15.840 And this is another frustrating thing.

00:36:18.700 Look at how far we've come towards the traditional ACLU kind of person.

00:36:26.220 You know what I mean?

00:36:26.820 I don't hate America, and I'm not for communism.

00:36:29.020 But I am for, you know, standing up for the people who are just being railroaded.

00:36:36.920 I'm standing up for people who can't get an attorney.

00:36:42.200 I'm for an end to all of these crazy wars.

00:36:47.820 Oh, yeah.

00:36:48.140 I'm totally against all the corporate welfare.

00:36:53.040 Totally.

00:36:54.140 I no longer think, oh, you know, corporations, they can't ever get that.

00:36:58.140 But yes, they can.

00:37:00.240 And they are.

00:37:04.500 And I'm actually becoming very, in a way, very anti-rich.

00:37:09.460 And not rich, I guess, elite.

00:37:11.740 I mean, when I see Mark Zuckerberg tell everybody.

00:37:14.020 And there's a big difference there.

00:37:15.460 There is.

00:37:16.280 There is.

00:37:16.760 You know, when I see Zuckerberg tell everybody, hey, you can't eat meat.

00:37:24.340 And then he starts a ranch where he's feeding his beef macadamia nuts.

00:37:28.940 So they'll be so expensive that only the elite will be able to buy them.

00:37:33.400 I just, I about lose my mind.

00:39:12.940 The following content identifies as a commercial.

00:39:16.120 Isn't that lovely?

00:39:19.500 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:22.100 We'll be right back.

00:39:38.980 We're just talking about how tough things are for the little guy in this country, for the average American.

00:39:44.680 Uh, it's so bad for the average American.

00:39:48.980 We're even being priced out of McDonald's right now.

00:39:53.060 McDonald's CEO admitted the burger giant's sales have taken a hit because of their jacked-up menu prices that are turning off their core customers.

00:40:01.820 And it signals the chain's plans to focus on affordability this year.

00:40:08.480 Huh.

00:40:09.200 Uh, they've taken a little bit of heat over a Big Mac combo meal priced at about $18 in certain places.

00:40:18.140 Like Connecticut, for instance.

00:40:20.380 It's hurt their sales, as you can maybe imagine.

00:40:24.820 Um, McDonald's CEO Chris Kambinski said, I think you're going to see, going into, uh, 2024, probably more attention to what I would describe as affordability.

00:40:40.220 Yeah, that would be nice.

00:40:42.140 Because what they've realized is income, uh, low-income customers, people making less than $45,000 is how they define that, have largely stopped ordering from McDonald's.

00:40:54.300 Because it's more affordable to eat at home than it is at, at McDonald's.

00:41:00.180 Last week, uh, McDonald's Outpost in Connecticut was slammed for its outrageous prices after customers were charged $7.29.

00:41:09.860 $7.29 for an Egg McMuffin and almost $6 for a side of hash browns.

00:41:15.880 A quarter pounder with cheese and bacon that came with fries and a soda, $19 at McDonald's.

00:41:27.400 Yeah, that's, that's an issue.

00:41:31.100 But, uh, all of these increased prices, they're our fault, according to the Biden administration.

00:41:36.380 It's our fault.

00:41:37.520 Because we, we want food.

00:41:40.260 We continue to eat food.

00:41:42.780 And because of that demand, prices are going higher.

00:41:45.880 You got to stop eating food.

00:41:48.720 That'll bring prices down.

00:41:51.520 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:53.500 It's a new day.

00:42:14.440 It's a new day, it's a new day

00:42:21.080 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:33.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:40.740 Hello, America.

00:42:41.720 Well, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in just a few minutes

00:42:45.340 in Trump v. Anderson,

00:42:48.280 the appeal from the president of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision

00:42:52.860 finding him ineligible to appear on the state's ballot

00:42:56.440 under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

00:43:00.620 This will have ramifications if the Supreme Court is not careful

00:43:07.320 for the rest of the republic, shall it live very much longer.

00:43:12.960 However, we're going to listen in on the oral arguments as they happen live.

00:43:18.520 We also have the two parents that claim to have lost their children to the state,

00:43:24.420 their daughter, to the state because their daughter is saying she's a he

00:43:29.660 and wants to transition.

00:43:31.800 And they say that goes against everything we believe in.

00:43:34.940 The state took the daughter away.

00:43:36.440 But the state says, no, no, no, not because of that.

00:43:41.060 Well, is there corruption in a Department of, you know, Child and Family Services?

00:43:49.060 Is that possible?

00:43:49.860 We've seen that before because the governor, a Republican, is standing against the parents.

00:43:55.420 We want to hear their side, and we've invited the governor on to come on and tell us his side, too.

00:44:00.580 I don't know what exactly is happening in this case, but something doesn't smell right.

00:44:05.760 We'll get into that as well.

00:44:08.060 Court case begins.

00:44:09.480 60 seconds.

00:44:10.360 Stand by.

00:44:12.020 First, let me tell you about our sponsor, This Half Hour.

00:44:19.240 Come on, people.

00:44:19.940 Let's do dream work.

00:44:20.840 That's a phrase that, you know, could apply now in the real estate game.

00:44:27.140 Buying and selling a home is difficult enough during the normal economic times.

00:44:31.300 And I think we can agree these are not normal economic times.

00:44:34.520 You need somebody who is solid, who knows the area, who knows the houses and what they're worth in the area you're moving into or out of, knows the best practices.

00:44:44.660 That's why I started a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:45:18.720 Mr. Pat Gray joins me again for the vacationing Stubergeer, who seems to be on some sort of, I don't know, French schedule or something.

00:45:29.080 But glad to have you here.

00:45:31.060 Good to be here.

00:45:32.520 Yeah.

00:45:32.840 Very excited.

00:45:33.380 So we're just, I was just talking Pat off the ledge during the break.

00:45:39.960 He was, I mean, I thought, I thought, you know, if Putin was behind him, he could push him right out the window right now.

00:45:46.320 And Pat would be dead because he was on the ledge and saying there's no hope.

00:45:50.900 Well, we were just watching Molly Hemingway speak about the things in her book, Rigged, How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats seized our elections.

00:46:02.920 Right.

00:46:03.260 And here's what we were listening to for Blaze News at the top of the hour.

00:46:07.560 Listen.

00:46:07.740 Instead of having election administration that is rigorously nonpartisan and impartial under the law, we have allowed the private takeover of government election offices by partisan oligarchs and their armies of activists who use those offices and their authorities to tilt the election toward favored candidates.

00:46:28.460 Instead of voters being able to vote for the candidate of their choice, powerful interests backed by wealthy oligarchs are working to remove the most popular candidate and the ruling party's chief opponent from the ballot in a move reminiscent of Soviet Russia.

00:46:46.000 And if that weren't enough, instead of the top candidates chosen by the people being able to fully engage in a vigorous campaign heading into an election, we have one side actively attempting to throw its opponent in prison and bankrupt his family.

00:47:01.540 Again, reminiscent of Soviet Russia. 0.76

00:47:04.460 Hmm.

00:47:05.420 Mm-hmm.

00:47:05.860 So Pat wasn't feeling real optimistic after that.

00:47:08.660 No.

00:47:09.540 No, because what she said is true.

00:47:12.380 True.

00:47:12.820 That is happening.

00:47:14.080 Yeah, it is.

00:47:14.600 It is happening.

00:47:15.040 So, but here is the thing.

00:47:16.540 First of all, it hasn't happened.

00:47:18.560 If the election is close, you can throw it.

00:47:23.660 One way or the other, you could throw it.

00:47:25.820 If the election is, you know, five to ten points out, you can't throw that without being very, very obvious.

00:47:35.080 This is, what we're looking at is an election.

00:47:38.220 We don't even know if this is going to be the election.

00:47:40.980 We don't know if Joe Biden is even going to be the candidate.

00:47:45.260 I think there's growing evidence that he's not.

00:47:47.340 And the oral arguments that are being heard right now in the Supreme Court.

00:47:51.360 In fact, can we bring this up?

00:47:53.220 By altering the Constitution's qualifications for federal office.

00:47:57.440 This is live in the Supreme Court.

00:47:59.940 The Constitution is no different from a state residency law that requires members of Congress to inhabit the state prior to Election Day when the Constitution requires only that members of Congress inhabit the state that they represent when elected.

00:48:14.660 In both situations, a state is accelerating the deadline to meet a constitutionally imposed qualification and is thereby violating the holding of term limits.

00:48:27.260 And in this situation, a ruling from this court that affirms the decision below would not only violate term limits, but take away the votes of potentially tens of millions of Americans.

00:48:37.080 So this is the president's attorney, President Trump, Clarence Thomas' voice.

00:48:46.960 ...with respect to whether or not Section 3 is self-executing.

00:48:50.960 So would you address that?

00:48:52.680 And in doing that, your argument is that it's not self-executing.

00:49:00.040 But then, in that case, what would the role of the state be, or is it entirely up to Congress to implement the disqualification in Section 3?

00:49:13.920 It is entirely up to Congress, Justice Thomas.

00:49:16.440 And our argument goes beyond actually saying that Section 3 is non-self-executing.

00:49:20.820 We need to say something more than that, because a non-self-executing treaty or a non-self-executing constitutional provision normally can still be enforced by a state if it chooses to enact legislation.

00:49:32.000 The holding of Griffin's case goes beyond even that by saying that a state is not allowed to implement or enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment unless and until Congress enacts implementing legislation allowing it to do so.

00:49:44.960 So under Griffin's case, which we believe is correctly decided, the Anderson litigants disagree with us on that point.

00:49:50.260 But if this court were to adhere to the holding of Griffin's case, there would not be any role for the states in enforcing Section 3 unless Congress were to enact a statute that gives them that authority.

00:50:00.200 Counsel, um...

00:50:01.380 Okay, so let me explain what they're talking about.

00:50:04.000 They're talking about, and by the way, I want to get back to Pat's hope.

00:50:07.140 First of all, there's hope here.

00:50:08.260 Um, second of all, more importantly, I do know the one thing I know about God is that there is no waste in his, uh, doings, okay?

00:50:20.240 There's nothing wasted.

00:50:21.520 I wasted most of my life, but he took all the bad things that I did and turned them around on me to where it's actually helped me now that I'm on the right track.

00:50:35.360 So there's no waste.

00:50:36.320 Every loss is another, uh, another step closer to his vision being executed.

00:50:43.560 And you have to remember that because at the end, you'll look at this and go, how did that happen?

00:50:50.020 How did that happen?

00:50:51.660 Uh, and the answer will be God.

00:50:53.220 Okay, now, Section 3.

00:50:54.920 This is the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

00:50:58.260 No person shall, uh, shall be a senator, representative of Congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state who has previously taken an oath as a member to Congress, or as an officer in the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial offer of any state, to support the Constitution.

00:51:25.500 The Constitution of the United States shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

00:51:35.000 But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each house, remove such a disability.

00:51:40.760 So, the Constitution says, if you have given aid and comfort or you've engaged in an insurrection, and they're saying that Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection.

00:51:50.960 However, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, in any law in the United States, are you guilty until proven innocent.

00:52:01.540 You have, you can make the charge, but that doesn't make it true.

00:52:06.260 And of all of the litigations, everything that is being filed in court, how many of them?

00:52:12.120 7,000 different court cases coming against him?

00:52:15.220 Not one is charging him with insurrection.

00:52:19.240 Not one, or rebellion, or giving aid and comfort.

00:52:24.000 Not one.

00:52:26.120 Why?

00:52:26.780 Because they know they can't win that.

00:52:29.260 So, the argument, one of the arguments is, the state can't say this.

00:52:33.880 This, first of all, it has to be charged, and then the Constitution says that if that's who he is, if that's what they did, then he can't serve.

00:52:42.800 But Congress can vote to remove that, should they care to.

00:52:49.240 This was all because of the Civil War.

00:52:51.640 This is an old-timey law that has never applied since the Civil War.

00:52:56.960 Just want you to know.

00:52:58.600 It was set up for the Confederacy.

00:53:01.580 Yes.

00:53:02.340 So, they wouldn't retake power in the United States.

00:53:05.940 Correct.

00:53:06.160 And they're trying to use it against Donald Trump.

00:53:08.540 A guy who they just throw out the word insurrection about, and then that's supposed to scare all the states to take him off the ballot.

00:53:18.060 But it's not to scare the states.

00:53:19.960 That's not how it works, anyway.

00:53:20.460 This is all coordinated.

00:53:22.840 There's a billion dollars, at least, behind all of this stuff, and it's very well coordinated.

00:53:31.360 They're trying to cause chaos.

00:53:34.620 That's the first thing.

00:53:35.780 They're trying to challenge everything to make it impossible to be a supporter of Trump or to be Donald Trump or to ever want to be like Donald Trump and stand against the machine.

00:53:48.140 They're trying to make it absolutely impossible and teach everyone, we are going to tie you in court until you're either in jail, dead, or broke.

00:53:58.040 But we'll break you.

00:53:59.880 That's what the state is trying to do right now.

00:54:03.020 And when I say the state, I actually mean the leftist organizations, and Molly had it right, the oligarchs that are part of this cabal to change the way America works.

00:54:18.980 And this is going to have far-reaching ramifications.

00:54:22.180 This is not good.

00:54:23.780 Not good.

00:54:25.520 That's why the Supreme Court needs to rule correctly on this for a change.

00:54:31.840 I mean, it's been tough.

00:54:34.640 Even with the so-called conservative court, some of the decisions they've made are far from conservative.

00:54:41.280 Right.

00:54:41.800 So they're arguing now Trump should be removed from the ballot because of his alleged role in recruiting, inciting, and encouraging a violent mob.

00:54:53.220 Wow.

00:54:53.700 Wow.

00:54:53.940 Then they told the Supreme Court in the brief, the former president fails to even acknowledge the most damning evidence against him.

00:55:03.680 Take me into a court of law.

00:55:05.460 So Trump, his counter is officer of the United States.

00:55:12.980 He did not engage in insurrection.

00:55:15.900 Only Congress can enforce Section 3.

00:55:18.060 That's what he was saying, just making that case a minute ago.

00:55:21.100 The amendment only prohibits holding office rather than appearing on the ballot, and that the ruling violates Colorado's election code.

00:55:32.700 So it says he can't serve.

00:55:34.840 It doesn't say he can't run.

00:55:35.900 No prosecutor has attempted to charge President Trump with insurrection under the U.S. code in the three years since January 6, 2021.

00:55:46.760 They don't think that this is going to be the strongest case.

00:55:50.120 I think it is, but I'm not an attorney.

00:55:52.420 But they think that it will be on the Section 3, the amendment only prohibits holding office, not running and being on a ballot.

00:56:05.440 They think that that's the one that they're going to do because they want to make it very, very narrow so it doesn't affect anything but this case.

00:56:13.180 Can we listen in a little bit more?

00:56:14.740 I did away with it later.

00:56:15.480 But that has nothing to say with respect to what Section 3 is.

00:56:19.880 This is Sotomayor.

00:56:20.920 Can we get to the issue, which is, I think, one that I go back to that I started with, and very briefly, what sense does it say that states can't enforce Section 3 against their own officials?

00:56:40.260 I mean, I think, logically, those are two separate issues in my mind.

00:56:46.700 Can states enforce the insurrection clause against their own officeholders?

00:56:51.940 Or can they enforce it against federal officials?

00:56:57.500 Or can they enforce it against the president?

00:57:00.700 Those are all three different questions in my mind.

00:57:03.940 And the answer to all three of those questions turns on whether this court agrees with the holding of Griffin's case.

00:57:10.880 If Griffin's case is the proper enunciation of the law, then a state cannot do any of the things, Your Honor, suggested unless Congress gives it authority to do so.

00:57:20.120 So a non-precedential decision that relies on policy doesn't look at the language, doesn't look at the history, doesn't analyze anything than the disruption that such a suit would bring, you want us to credit as presidential?

00:57:37.580 Because Congress relied on Griffin's case when it enacted the Enforcement Act of 1870 and established...

00:57:44.120 So, Mr. Mitchell, if I may interrupt, but just to clarify, I mean, this sounds like your reply brief, where it sounds like you're not making a constitutional argument.

00:57:53.660 You're really making a statutory preemption argument.

00:57:57.000 And is that what you're doing here?

00:57:59.120 You're not saying that the Constitution gives you this rule.

00:58:03.380 It's the kind of combination of Griffin's case plus the way Congress acted after Griffin's case that gives you the rule?

00:58:11.260 That's exactly right, Justice Kagan, because we have implementing legislation.

00:58:14.880 Congress took up the invitation provided by Griffin's case and established rights of co-warnto in the 1870 Enforcement Act, later repealed them.

00:58:22.380 The only enforcement legislation that's currently on the books is the insurrection criminal statute, Section 2383.

00:58:28.580 And when Congress made all of these decisions, the initial enactment of the Enforcement Act in 1870, the repeal of the co-warnto provisions in 1948, all of those were made with Griffin's case as the backdrop.

00:58:39.280 Please.

00:58:39.680 Well, the understanding was that these congressionally established remedies would be exclusive of state court remedies.

00:58:44.660 So there's not an express statement of preemption in these statutes, but there didn't need to be because Griffin's case provided the background.

00:58:49.980 And if I could just understand the argument a little bit better, suppose that we took all of that away, you know, suppose there were no Griffin's case and there were no subsequent congressional enactment.

00:59:00.520 What do you then think the rule would be?

00:59:02.420 So in just as a matter of first principles without Griffin's case, it's a much harder argument for us to make because normally, I mean, every other provision of the 14th Amendment has been treated as self-executing.

00:59:12.620 What we would argue in that hypothetical that your honor has suggested is that there are practical considerations unique to Section 3 that counsel in favor of a rule similar to what Chief Justice Chase spelled out in Griffin's case.

00:59:24.300 And it goes to, I think, the policy concerns he talks about where this was a case, Griffin's case.

00:59:28.960 So they really seem to be pressing.

00:59:31.280 Now, again, we've heard the two liberal judges, but they are are pressing the Trump lawyers quite hard.

00:59:40.180 I'm reading about the Griffin case.

00:59:42.120 I can't make heads or tails of it quick shorthand.

00:59:46.100 But we do have after the court case, which should last year and then end by and in at least probably an hour.

00:59:55.760 We have we have Alan Dershowitz on with us just a second.

01:00:02.040 And he's going to he's watching it right now and he's going to be giving us his notes on what he thinks it all means coming up in just a little while.

01:00:10.280 Stand by first.

01:00:11.820 Please let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:00:14.200 It's the Berna Launcher.

01:00:15.260 I have it.

01:00:16.280 It's a great compliment to firearms.

01:00:18.100 There are situations when less lethal is the way to go.

01:00:21.880 Berna is the best alternative to apply deadly force.

01:00:26.020 It fires powerful deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds.

01:00:30.780 I'll tell you, I had a situation once where my teenager was my son was sneaking around in the middle of the night and Tanya heard something and she freaked out.

01:00:39.640 She's like, somebody's in the house.

01:00:40.580 And he had opened the back garage door to get something out of the freezer in the garage.

01:00:46.160 And so she's like, the garage door's been open, too.

01:00:48.540 So somebody's in the house.

01:00:49.760 So I grabbed my gun and I go out.

01:00:52.000 Now, Rafe didn't want to get caught.

01:00:53.700 And so, you know, I'm coming around and I said, I hear you.

01:00:59.340 I know somebody is in the house.

01:01:01.020 Please announce yourself.

01:01:02.380 Nobody said anything.

01:01:03.380 And then I finally said, because I knew it's right around this corner.

01:01:06.380 And I said, I have a gun. 0.99

01:01:08.100 I fear for the life of my family and I identify yourself or I will shoot. 0.62

01:01:14.400 And that's when Rafe went, Dad, it's me.

01:01:16.920 I mean, it was the scariest.

01:01:19.200 I could have killed him. 1.00

01:01:20.620 I could have killed him. 1.00

01:01:22.100 That's when I wish I had a Berna launcher, because I think when he said that, I would have hit him with the tear gas. 1.00

01:01:26.880 I would.

01:01:27.220 I would have been.

01:01:28.120 I would.

01:01:28.380 Oh, it's you.

01:01:29.240 Boom.

01:01:29.640 Anyway, Berna is proudly American, made in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it is a less than lethal alternative.

01:01:38.720 You need your guns, but this also is really great.

01:01:55.440 Come right out with the corking hat if you want to make any comments.

01:01:59.640 Mm-hmm.

01:02:02.140 Going back to the Supreme Court.

01:02:06.540 This is Samuel Alito.

01:02:07.900 You must have been free from this disqualification at an earlier point in time than Section 3 specifies.

01:02:15.920 I think the answer to your question, Justice Alito, depends on how you interpret the word enforce in Section 5.

01:02:21.300 And some members of this court, such as Justice Scalia, thought that enforce means you can do nothing more than enact legislation that mirrors the 14th Amendment's self-executing requirements, and you can't go an inch beyond that.

01:02:33.020 That's not the current jurisprudence of this court.

01:02:35.340 Well, you have to decide whether it's congruent and proportional, and we would get into the question of whether that would be congruent and proportional.

01:02:42.720 Well, let me shift.

01:02:43.740 What are you thinking?

01:02:44.800 I don't understand why nobody's talking about the fact that how can you enforce this clause against someone who hasn't been tried, let alone convicted of insurrection?

01:02:57.660 How is it even an issue?

01:02:59.600 I don't even know.

01:03:00.280 I don't understand that.

01:03:01.780 Why aren't they arguing that?

01:03:03.440 Because I think that goes back to the Griffin case.

01:03:07.880 The Griffin case was about this person that was in a conspiracy, you know, for the Civil War.

01:03:15.720 Yeah.

01:03:16.800 Upheld the federal conviction, no matter what happened at a lower case, I think.

01:03:24.720 But we're going to get Alan Dershowitz on in a minute.

01:03:29.100 Glenn Beck.

01:03:32.580 All right.

01:03:34.500 Let me tell you about our sponsor, and we thank you so much for listening.

01:03:40.020 And sponsors like Relief Factor make all the difference in the world.

01:03:44.180 We don't answer to anybody but you, and our sponsors are great because they've never, they've been with us forever.

01:03:51.880 Relief Factor.

01:03:52.540 Jim wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.

01:03:54.940 He said, I used to have extreme lower back pain.

01:03:56.940 Nothing I tried really touched it.

01:03:58.840 Then I heard about Relief Factor and decided to give it a try.

01:04:01.000 Relief Factor worked so well and so quickly, it eliminated the pain, allowing me to function better than I ever had before.

01:04:07.100 Thank you so much, Relief Factor.

01:04:46.380 The Krista and Todd Kolstad family in Glasgow, Montana, is accusing the state of Montana,

01:05:08.120 the Child Protective Services, of kidnapping their teenage daughter after the girl began to identify as a transgender boy.

01:05:17.680 The child's stepmother, Krista, explains the nightmare began August of 23 after they received a call

01:05:23.580 that their 14-year-old daughter, Jennifer, had expressed suicidal ideations while at school.

01:05:29.140 Later on the same evening, a caseworker with the Montana Child and Family Services showed up at the Kolstad home

01:05:34.260 to speak with Jennifer and do an inspection of the home.

01:05:39.180 During the interview with CFS, Jennifer claimed to have consumed toilet bowl cleaner and painkiller medications

01:05:44.820 that day in an effort to commit suicide.

01:05:47.920 Krista said that it immediately struck her as being highly unlikely.

01:05:51.300 Not only did Jennifer not have access to other substance, you know, these kinds of substance unmonitored, 0.99

01:05:56.940 but Jennifer had expressed no symptoms of imminent illness that day.

01:06:00.380 Despite the doubts, Krista and Todd agreed to take Jennifer to the local hospital on an emergency basis.

01:06:07.220 They found, in all the blood work and everything else, she had not consumed any of these things.

01:06:12.260 Copies of the medical paperwork to substantiate their claim that Jennifer had not consumed any of the dangerous substances

01:06:18.720 confirms that there were no abnormalities detected in her system.

01:06:23.940 Her physical health was good.

01:06:25.420 However, there is, they consistently mentioned that Jennifer identifies as a male and wishes to be called Leo.

01:06:33.680 Krista says she and Todd immediately made their objections to the hospital staff known.

01:06:38.300 They're supposed to call her by her birth name.

01:06:40.980 We were very clear in the emergency room that this goes against our values, our morals, our religious beliefs.

01:06:46.500 They told me to call a lawyer if I have an issue because they're going to do what the patient tells them to do.

01:06:51.660 Then, she said, we came in and our daughter was talking about having top surgery and being non-binary.

01:07:00.860 She took her complaint to the on-duty doctor who dismissed her.

01:07:04.260 He told me, why are you not more concerned that your daughter are trying to harm herself than what the aide is talking about with her?

01:07:11.440 They then tried to switch her out of state to Wyoming. 1.00

01:07:15.680 There are six facilities in Montana that she could go to.

01:07:18.420 They had a facility in Wyoming.

01:07:21.080 The family looked it up, looked like kids were allowed to have procedures done and hormones without parental consent.

01:07:27.980 So, when the hospital called, they said, we have an opening in Wyoming and she needs to go there.

01:07:34.120 Quote, she has to go. 0.99

01:07:35.680 She's not doing any good here.

01:07:37.340 End quote.

01:07:38.240 The parents said, not on your life.

01:07:40.880 That's when things got ugly.

01:07:42.580 They showed up, CFS showed up at their home to serve us with papers to take Jennifer out of our care, according to Krista. 0.98

01:07:51.640 They told me the reason was we were unable or refusing to provide medical care.

01:07:57.220 That's not true.

01:07:58.740 Now, the Republican governor has come out against the family.

01:08:02.600 And honestly, I don't understand this.

01:08:04.760 They keep saying, well, you know, we don't take, you know, children out of the home if it's just a transgender thing. 0.79

01:08:12.820 But, yeah, I get that.

01:08:14.540 But I'm looking at the document, immediate threat to danger.

01:08:18.080 There's nothing checked except child needs medical attention and parents are unwilling to perform parental duties.

01:08:25.120 So, that's the loophole.

01:08:29.220 Is this an out-of-control state agency or what's happening?

01:08:33.220 We have both of the parents on with us now.

01:08:36.440 I can't imagine being you guys.

01:08:38.020 Krista and Todd Kolstad, thank you for coming on the program.

01:08:42.780 Thanks for having us.

01:08:43.880 We appreciate it.

01:08:45.380 So, Krista, why did the governor come out in defense of this?

01:08:53.940 You know, I don't have an answer for that.

01:08:58.220 There's no reason for him to.

01:08:59.680 It's not hard to say I made a mistake or this shouldn't have happened and apologize.

01:09:04.240 I really don't know why he's coming out against us.

01:09:08.660 Todd?

01:09:13.440 Todd, are you there?

01:09:15.100 Yes, I am.

01:09:16.040 Yeah.

01:09:16.600 Is there any idea in your mind?

01:09:19.860 Is there anything that is happening or has happened in your home that we don't know about?

01:09:27.720 Absolutely not.

01:09:28.880 It's as simple as that.

01:09:30.920 We keep going back to what the guardian ad litem said that they sent to our house.

01:09:35.940 She saw that everything was fine.

01:09:37.600 We have a very nice home, a very comfortable life.

01:09:40.560 And she flat out told us, she asked if we were going to be willing to raise our daughter as a boy with the transgender care.

01:09:48.240 And she said, if we aren't, then she said, we're not going to like what she has to say in court.

01:09:53.500 And that is exactly how it went.

01:09:54.780 Now, you got a call just recently that she's not in Montana.

01:10:02.140 She's in Canada.

01:10:03.380 So they moved her across state lines and then out of the country to her mother, who, if I'm not mistaken, and please correct me if I'm wrong, there's been some issues with mom as well in the past. 0.59

01:10:19.680 Is that true?

01:10:21.620 That is true.

01:10:22.700 So there is some documents that we submitted from counselors and whatnot supporting our claims.

01:10:29.540 And then also, you know, her birth mom just wasn't really involved in her life in the last seven years, never called her, never visited or anything like that.

01:10:38.040 So this is really a stranger to her.

01:10:40.540 And so we do have some great concerns, that and the fact that I believe Canada, you know, operates on a whole different system as far as transgender care.

01:10:49.160 So we have some great concerns about her being there.

01:10:51.320 Did you have joint custody or did you did have joint custody?

01:10:57.700 Okay.

01:10:58.860 You were going to say, Todd?

01:10:59.860 There wasn't.

01:11:00.680 Oh, there was no custody battle with them.

01:11:03.820 We were on speaking terms with them.

01:11:06.320 So there was no problem with that.

01:11:08.420 There was CPS is the ones that initiated the contact with her in Canada and then started pushing to send her there.

01:11:15.240 So what do you have remaining to do?

01:11:22.300 What can you do from here?

01:11:24.860 Well, we're getting more lawyers involved.

01:11:27.840 We're challenging the gag order based on our First Amendment freedom of speech rights.

01:11:32.540 And we're continuing to speak out.

01:11:35.060 We just want other families to be aware.

01:11:38.860 And by bringing light to our situation, we're hoping that we can help others.

01:11:42.200 And this doesn't happen to another family.

01:11:44.340 So, you know, I've seen the documents from the state.

01:11:50.440 And the state and the governor say that's not the reason why she was taken out of the house.

01:11:58.220 So this is and, you know, I I'm really uncomfortable because we can't find anything bad on you guys.

01:12:09.040 And the state kind of it feels kind of like they they're saying, well, we got something else here and we just can't tell you.

01:12:16.680 Yeah. And I I mean, it makes it hard.

01:12:20.320 Have you have you guys tried to engage some of these, you know, law firms that are are out there to help parents like you?

01:12:29.580 Why do you have a public defender still?

01:12:32.880 Well, we are interviewing lawyers currently.

01:12:35.640 So, yes, we are engaged with these lawyers and trying to get different legal representation.

01:12:41.500 So to better answer that, to better answer that the world's not has changed drastically

01:12:45.780 when it comes to finding an attorney, when you blindly look, start Googling areas, family law,

01:12:51.440 you have to find an attorney that can practice in your state.

01:12:54.620 Almost all of them are scheduling first consultations like eight months out.

01:13:00.180 That's how busy they are.

01:13:01.580 And then when they hear that the state, they don't want to get involved.

01:13:05.200 So it's this one is I mean, the Thomas More Society.

01:13:09.460 I mean, there are places that you can call and maybe you just didn't know about them.

01:13:13.220 But there are big organization organizations that take these cases and they they move rapidly

01:13:20.160 when it comes to children because, you know, seven months is a long time with a child.

01:13:25.280 And so I'm wondering, have you been contacted by anybody or can you know, we'll give you the phone

01:13:32.240 numbers because that that's I go ahead.

01:13:35.940 I was going to say, I have not heard of the Thomas More Society, so I will definitely look them up

01:13:40.020 and get in contact with them. But several agencies have contacted us.

01:13:44.760 And we've the from what I understand and I'm not a lawyer.

01:13:48.360 So from what I understand, the way it works is if they don't practice in Montana,

01:13:51.660 then they have to find a lawyer that does practice in Montana and then they become the co-counsel.

01:13:56.200 So the issue is they're having a lot of time, a hard time finding lawyers that practice in Montana

01:14:02.000 that are willing to take this on with them.

01:14:03.780 Pat is from the great state of Montana.

01:14:07.480 Pat, what do you know about this governor?

01:14:10.140 Almost nothing.

01:14:11.240 You know, I haven't lived in Montana for 40 some years.

01:14:14.860 I didn't know.

01:14:15.400 Yeah, I don't know virtually anything about him.

01:14:19.780 You know, Montana is perceived to be a Republican state,

01:14:24.360 but they elect Democrats on a fairly regular basis.

01:14:30.040 Yeah.

01:14:30.320 And so maybe this guy has rhino tendencies.

01:14:35.100 I don't know.

01:14:35.520 How do you guys feel about your governor?

01:14:38.960 We're very disappointed in the way that this is being handled.

01:14:42.480 He's never he's never reached out to us.

01:14:45.280 The Kristen Juris, I think her name is the one that he tasked into looking into our case. 0.84

01:14:51.000 She called me personally and she just said, I'm going to look at your case.

01:14:54.340 And then I never heard from her again.

01:14:55.960 So I don't feel like there's a lot of action on their part.

01:15:00.620 Well, we have asked the governor to come.

01:15:03.440 I think we have.

01:15:04.340 If not, he's invited now and our producers will be reaching out again.

01:15:08.680 We have been in touch with the governor's office.

01:15:11.360 Um, and, uh, you know, there was a, there was something here that I was sent that talks about, uh, that you are, because you guys said no, uh, to sending her to, uh, Wyoming, which I think I would have too.

01:15:29.300 Uh, yeah, well, state of Montana is limited in disclosing the specifics of cases involving minor children in its care due to the sensitive nature.

01:15:38.260 Broadly speaking, the state does not remove minors from homes to provide gender transition services or to use taxpayer funds to pay for those services while a minor is in the custody of the state.

01:15:48.720 But your child's not in the custody of the state, um, child protective services.

01:15:56.520 Furthermore, the governor has asked the department of public health and human services to codify a formal policy and develop regulation to clarify and ensure the definition of abuse or neglect does not include a parent's right to refuse to provide gender transition services to his or her minor.

01:16:12.120 So he's suggesting policy, but we also have, um, you know, I have seen the department of health, uh, CFSD does not investigate nor remove children based solely on allegations that parents oppose and will not allow their child who has gender dysphoria to transition genders.

01:16:34.080 So I think that's very consistent with what they're telling you, but I feel that that's a massive loophole.

01:16:42.120 They're leaning on that.

01:16:45.240 Yes.

01:16:45.860 If, um, you would like me to comment on that?

01:16:48.640 Yes, go ahead.

01:16:50.280 Okay.

01:16:50.860 So right from the get go, from day one at the hospital, they immediately had a nurse saying that, talking about getting top surgery in front of our daughter, they immediately started calling her a boy immediately.

01:17:01.880 And they started, um, we turned in complaints, but it was immediate.

01:17:05.760 And, um, there was, when it, when they said that they were going to have a bed for her in Billings, we knew immediate before that, that that was not going to happen because they kept, um, looking at our daughter with an unspoken language, like almost assuring her it was going to be Wyoming.

01:17:22.160 So we knew they were going to pull that card and, and Wyoming allows the transgendering without parental approval on anything where Montana, the Dakotas, um, Idaho, those states do not.

01:17:35.800 We were able to stand right there and Google that.

01:17:38.740 So let me, uh, cause I've only got a minute left.

01:17:41.460 Let me read this statement.

01:17:42.520 This came from the Valley County attorney.

01:17:45.160 Um, had the motion been granted, Todd Colstad's legal rights as a parent would have remained fully intact.

01:17:50.460 The state of Montana would have no more involvement in his relationship with his child.

01:17:54.520 Mr. Colstad and his wife objected to dismissal and regret, uh, and requested the state remain involved.

01:18:00.460 Any statement made otherwise is false and inaccurate.

01:18:04.500 Um, well, if we can respond to that, when we were in the courtroom that day, we asked that the birth mother's home be investigated as a safe place for, because they, they said, no matter what, they're going to send her to Canada. 0.59

01:18:16.220 And so we had asked that they investigate the birth mom and make sure that that was a safe place for a child to go.

01:18:21.560 And we, we explained our concerns and we even had documentation supporting those concerns.

01:18:25.600 So that's not exactly true.

01:18:27.400 We would love to have children's services out of our life.

01:18:30.160 Our lawyers who are our public defenders still at the time said, this is, um, let them investigate the birth mom on the record.

01:18:40.220 And so we were told that that's all that they were doing.

01:18:42.760 We didn't understand that we were, you know, hanging out with CPS for another six months.

01:18:48.640 Further, they've asked us to go to marriage counseling to, um, accept our daughter's transgenderism.

01:18:55.860 Okay.

01:18:56.300 All right, guys, we're going to follow this story.

01:18:58.700 Thank you.

01:18:59.200 We'll probably talk again.

01:19:00.420 Thank you so much.

01:19:01.460 And we're praying for you and, and especially your daughter that the right thing, uh, happens.

01:19:06.980 Thank you.

01:19:07.900 We'll be in touch.

01:19:08.720 Thank you.

01:19:09.520 You bet.

01:19:10.000 Uh, rough greens.

01:19:12.140 Mindy wrote her dog's experience of rough green.

01:19:14.360 She said, it's about a month since I got rough greens for my dog.

01:19:17.200 Polo six-year-old Manchester terrier mix.

01:19:20.060 I can't believe the difference.

01:19:22.000 He always has a sensitive stomach for the past year.

01:19:24.700 He wouldn't eat his breakfast until he ate grass first and the rest wasn't pretty.

01:19:29.200 Yeah.

01:19:30.280 Anyways, I heard you talk about rough greens.

01:19:32.280 Glenn decided to give it a try next day.

01:19:34.200 And ever since no more grass eating, everything's back to normal.

01:19:37.340 Thank you.

01:19:37.780 This rough greens is an amazing supplement that you put on your dog's food and they want

01:19:43.400 to send you the first bag free.

01:19:44.980 It's a trial bag.

01:19:46.100 833 Glenn 33.

01:19:47.560 Just see if your dog will eat it.

01:19:49.260 Then as you watch over time, you will, you'll be amazed.

01:19:53.500 I think at the difference in your dog.

01:19:55.480 First trial bag is free.

01:19:57.840 Call 833 Glenn 33, 833 G-L-E-N-N 33 or roughgreens.com slash Beck.

01:20:08.380 Sit tight, boys and girls.

01:20:10.040 We'll be right back after these messages.

01:20:11.840 So the, you know, the one that was in Carano versus Chris Cyborg, Strikeforce, you know,

01:20:39.000 I could have taken both of them, but I don't want to get into that when Gina gets on.

01:20:42.080 I don't, I don't want to say, oh, that's a cute little fight.

01:20:44.800 Women do because I could take it. 1.00

01:20:46.720 I mean, I take you to the movies or someplace.

01:20:49.640 Right.

01:20:50.220 But anyway, Gina Carano is on with us next. 1.00

01:20:53.600 She is now suing Disney and nothing could make me happier.

01:20:59.380 So great.

01:21:00.200 So great.

01:21:01.080 I'm in love with that.

01:21:02.380 I mean, she got fired from Disney for expressing her viewpoint on, on Twitter.

01:21:11.080 Right.

01:21:11.500 And I mean, somebody had said the same thing virtually just for, against the other side

01:21:16.620 of the political spectrum.

01:21:18.060 The co-star.

01:21:19.180 Yeah.

01:21:19.700 The co-star.

01:21:20.480 Yeah.

01:21:20.640 And she really was kind of the star of that.

01:21:23.480 They were talking about.

01:21:24.720 She was really good in that.

01:21:25.760 And they were talking about spinning it off and having her own show.

01:21:30.220 Yeah.

01:21:30.300 Her career was over because she said the same thing, except applied to the other side as

01:21:37.740 her co-star did who survived.

01:21:40.600 Yeah.

01:21:41.260 Didn't have a problem with that, did she?

01:21:43.120 Yeah.

01:21:44.080 We're going to talk to her next because this lawsuit involving Elon Musk, he's paying for

01:21:49.540 it.

01:21:50.200 Next.

01:24:47.120 Actress, former MMA fighter, Gina Carano, how are you?

01:24:50.920 I'm good.

01:24:51.940 Thank you so much for having me.

01:24:53.900 You bet.

01:24:54.400 I have to tell you, I am so glad to see that you are standing up and fighting back against

01:25:01.960 Disney and Lucasfilm for what happened to you.

01:25:06.420 Can you just describe quickly that whole scene?

01:25:12.900 Well, quickly.

01:25:14.860 I know.

01:25:15.560 I'm sorry.

01:25:16.700 No, it's okay.

01:25:17.660 I actually, it was really interesting because for the longest time, for the last couple

01:25:21.500 years, I was just, you know, just distraught, you know, trying to rebuild my life, running

01:25:26.740 into all sorts of, you know, problems of trying to, you know, recreate my career.

01:25:31.940 And finally, you know, I was like, you know, I had to just, like, give it to God and say,

01:25:37.840 all right, you know, you've got me in life.

01:25:41.620 I'm going to keep going and I have to let this go and give it to you.

01:25:45.780 And, you know, whatever justice I get, you know, I know you're working behind the scenes

01:25:50.660 for me.

01:25:51.180 And then it was almost as soon as I did that, I got a email from a lawyer that was hired

01:25:58.960 by Elon Musk, an ex, to inquire about my case.

01:26:03.280 And, and then I was just so excited and I emailed him back, like, immediately.

01:26:09.680 And, you know, we started going through all of, you know, I just educated them and I sent

01:26:15.340 them everything I have to date and I have a lot more to send them.

01:26:18.100 And they are, they're wonderful and they are just excited and they couldn't believe they

01:26:23.340 were, they were kind of like dumbfounded about how, about how this happened.

01:26:27.840 So, um, that's the quick version.

01:26:30.760 So you, I mean, you've worked with, uh, everybody, Michael Douglas, Fassbender, uh, uh, Channing

01:26:39.260 Tatum, uh, Bill Paxton, Antonio Banderas, Robert De Niro, um, Ryan Reynolds.

01:26:46.300 Have you had any support from these people or are they afraid to come out or how would you

01:26:53.300 describe what you, your friends?

01:26:57.120 I mean, well, that's not my friends.

01:27:00.600 They're not my friends.

01:27:01.780 They're your coworkers.

01:27:03.460 They're incredible people that I've worked with.

01:27:05.980 You know, I've never had a, an issue with anybody, with anyone whatsoever.

01:27:10.500 Um, you know, as far as actors go or crew goes, or for that matter, I've not just, I've

01:27:15.580 just not had an issue on set ever.

01:27:17.700 Um, I get along with everybody.

01:27:19.120 Um, but yes, to answer your question, there has been many people who I have worked with

01:27:25.060 and who I haven't worked with that I've run into, um, not only just, uh, very well-known

01:27:30.500 actors, but also very well-known, very well-known producers.

01:27:34.000 And actually people who are still working in Disney and Lucasfilm actively, you know, have,

01:27:41.620 you know, they, they all have shown so much support, everything the time I've seen and give

01:27:46.400 them and they're, I, and to, to be very honest, I've not had one person from this industry

01:27:51.080 come up to me and say, you know, um, I deserved that.

01:27:55.840 They're all saying the complete opposite.

01:27:57.520 So it's just been kind of mind bending that, uh, that Lucasfilm and Disney couldn't, uh,

01:28:04.640 couldn't see that as well.

01:28:07.000 When, when they contacted you, I assume they contacted you with this, or maybe they just

01:28:11.380 said, ah, it's, it's over for other reasons.

01:28:13.500 Um, but when you found out that you were being cut out of everything and your career

01:28:19.440 was over because of a tweet that was exactly the same that your co-star creed, uh, tweeted

01:28:25.120 except toward the other side, did you point that you had to have gone guys, wait a minute,

01:28:30.940 hold it.

01:28:32.400 I mean, they didn't contact me.

01:28:35.860 This is, uh, this is very interesting.

01:28:38.100 I think it just shows what the company was at the time a couple of years ago.

01:28:42.840 They, they didn't even contact me to let me know they were letting me go.

01:28:46.700 They didn't contact me to let me know that, um, there was about to be paparazzi stalkers

01:28:51.600 and people flooding outside my house that I found all of that out just like everybody

01:28:56.600 else did over the internet.

01:28:58.240 Oh my gosh.

01:28:59.600 The fact that, you know, and it did, it was awful.

01:29:02.160 It was, um, you know, I've been trying to put on a really brave face for the last couple

01:29:06.580 years, but I mean, I cannot begin to even describe, I couldn't leave my house for seven days.

01:29:13.440 I was being stalked.

01:29:15.180 Um, I was being harassed.

01:29:17.540 I was, they were coming up to my, I had to keep my, all my blinds closed and I had actually

01:29:22.280 lost all hearing.

01:29:23.440 I don't know.

01:29:24.520 Uh, I, it's a very interesting random thing.

01:29:27.920 I lost all of the hearing as soon as I was canceled, my hearing like got clogged and I

01:29:32.900 could only hear like 5%.

01:29:35.280 Is it, was that kind of like, uh, I mean, this is a horrible name for it, but hysterical

01:29:40.700 blindness where you are in so much, uh, trauma that it really, yeah, it really felt like that.

01:29:47.360 Like, it felt like, you know, either that or God just put earmuffs on me and I just was

01:29:53.520 like, you know, and so I really had to sit there in my head and I, um, really had to

01:29:58.740 sit there in my head and just go over things.

01:30:01.020 And it was, it was quite, um, it was torturous until I finally was just like, okay, I just

01:30:07.220 gave it to God.

01:30:08.200 And, you know, um, I just, it's just, it was just such an intense time and, you know, for

01:30:14.040 them not to even warn me, you know, I didn't have a, I didn't live in a gated community.

01:30:18.700 So I was out there.

01:30:20.340 Um, and, and that wasn't, you know, you think that somebody would have, you know, just call

01:30:25.700 me and tell me, Hey, thank you for all your work and everything.

01:30:28.840 And, uh, we're just no longer going to work with you.

01:30:31.260 And then they put out the statement about the denigrating people off of their religious

01:30:35.540 and cultural beliefs and being abhorrent.

01:30:37.200 And I was just like, this is, I just, it was just at the worst time possible.

01:30:43.460 They really kind of, you know, they definitely put my life in danger at that moment.

01:30:47.840 Um, so what do you hope happens with this lawsuit?

01:30:53.740 I mean, I, I'd love to see the discovery on all of the emails going back and forth.

01:30:58.700 That'll be nice.

01:31:00.120 Yes.

01:31:00.680 Yeah.

01:31:01.140 I hope that, I hope that this makes a change.

01:31:05.260 I hope that it, um, it makes a change in this industry and it makes a change in people's

01:31:11.100 hearts.

01:31:11.700 You know, the, the post that I got fired for originally, or what they said I got fired for

01:31:16.960 was, was never supposed to be what they, the media and all of them twisted into, it was

01:31:23.900 supposed to be, you know, do not demonize your neighbor.

01:31:27.320 Um, you know, we need to look at each other as human beings because I, the internet is

01:31:32.780 one thing, but when you get outside and you get around people, there is so much love and

01:31:37.700 there's so much, you know, it's not the internet.

01:31:40.160 The internet is, that is false.

01:31:42.300 It's a lot of people hiding behind, you know, brave ideas and false accounts.

01:31:46.340 And when you get, when you get to be around people, there is, you know, we all bleed, you

01:31:52.600 know, red, we're all just kind of on this earth together.

01:31:56.940 And so I hope that the outcome for this, this, um, this case is just to make, you know, everybody

01:32:04.260 kind of be a truly, truly, uh, inclusive industry in Hollywood and make it that much difficult

01:32:11.600 to do what was happened to me to happen to the next person.

01:32:16.340 Yeah.

01:32:16.820 You know, it's people, I don't think people understand that, you know, it's happening to

01:32:21.060 people like you and, you know, people all over the country who are in, um, visible, uh,

01:32:28.000 places.

01:32:28.840 And I don't think people really understand if they do it to people like you, why would they

01:32:34.460 hesitate to do it to a nobody?

01:32:37.520 Um, and that's, that, that's the scariest thing is they're not coming after the nobodies alone.

01:32:44.680 They're coming after names like Elon Musk, who I think they're trying to do the same

01:32:49.100 thing to.

01:32:50.460 Oh yeah.

01:32:51.340 Yeah.

01:32:51.560 We definitely, um, when they try to smear him as antisemitic, I was like, uh, that's exactly

01:32:58.020 what they did to me.

01:32:58.880 They, they, they try to smear you as all of these key words, racist, racist, antisemitic, 0.98

01:33:04.360 transphobe. 0.90

01:33:05.660 And, you know, it's just any, it's really, they're just trying to, you know, squash down

01:33:10.280 anybody who has, um, you know, the ability to reach people to just tell them, yeah, let's

01:33:17.980 communicate.

01:33:18.380 Let's think, you know, critically, let's, you know, not just listen to what the news

01:33:22.440 is telling us.

01:33:23.940 Um, and let's, you know, let's communicate with each other because we have to, because

01:33:27.520 everything is, everything is owned now by people who want to just grab more control.

01:33:33.580 It's really crazy.

01:33:34.600 It is, I've never seen, especially with Disney, I've never seen such a wrecking ball taken,

01:33:40.580 you know, to their own corporation, uh, like Disney has taken the wrecking ball to everything

01:33:46.940 that they own and everything that they touch.

01:33:49.060 Uh, I mean, this is just horrible.

01:33:51.800 It's truly a shame because you just, we grew up with Disney and, and it doesn't seem like

01:33:57.620 it would be that hard of a fix.

01:33:59.140 You know, it doesn't seem like, Hey, you know what?

01:34:01.620 We messed up here.

01:34:02.540 You know, they're so good at telling everybody how to apologize and get on their knees and

01:34:06.620 say, sorry.

01:34:07.600 It's like, you know, lead by example in this case, it wouldn't be hard to be like, to look

01:34:12.300 at my case and say, Hey, you know what?

01:34:14.300 We did wrong there.

01:34:15.720 Let's make it right.

01:34:16.780 And, you know, um, and, and then let's start reaching out to, you know, really inclusive,

01:34:23.900 like all, all people.

01:34:26.220 Um, it doesn't mean that they have to follow any type of political, you know, side.

01:34:31.380 They could just really include and appreciate the fan base that they had, um, that has just

01:34:37.020 been completely betrayed by them.

01:34:38.500 So I don't understand in those meetings, how it's just not like, you know what we did wrong.

01:34:44.200 Let's face up to it.

01:34:45.320 Let's do something right here.

01:34:46.620 And let's get, you know, let's get our, our, our, you know, our conservative, uh, viewers

01:34:52.540 back.

01:34:53.200 Um, it seems like it would just be a no brainer.

01:34:55.140 Um, I don't know if they could at this point, I mean, once you've violated my family, I mean,

01:35:00.900 beyond what they did to you, um, they, you know, they're, they're trying to, uh, teach

01:35:07.960 my children principles that I don't agree with at all.

01:35:11.200 And they've lost that trust that parents had.

01:35:15.020 Oh, it's Disney.

01:35:15.760 It's safe.

01:35:16.720 It's not safe.

01:35:17.740 Uh, and that's going to take them a long time to recover that.

01:35:22.900 And a good step forward would be to, to, uh, uh, to correct this with you and others that

01:35:29.740 they have wronged.

01:35:30.740 Um, so, you know, when this happened to you, nothing, nothing, nothing's impossible though,

01:35:35.560 you know, like, uh, if they, if they keep going down this route, they're just going to

01:35:40.020 be considered evil.

01:35:41.780 Um, you know, I, I have a massive ball to, you know, rock, to push back up a mountain

01:35:47.960 to get back a career, but I'm not looking at that saying, okay, I'm at the bottom again.

01:35:53.040 I'm not going to do it.

01:35:54.220 You know, we have to constantly rebuild ourselves and so do companies.

01:35:57.480 So if they started now, you know, they could, you know, start pushing that rock back up

01:36:02.980 instead of it just tumbling.

01:36:04.540 It's just tumbling down the hill.

01:36:06.460 Yeah.

01:36:06.900 Well, you are going to be, you are going to be, um, you're going to be fine in the end,

01:36:11.740 especially since, you know, when this happened, we weren't really ready, uh, as conservatives

01:36:18.000 and I don't want a bunch of conservative films or, you know, uh, films, but I just want

01:36:23.740 good films.

01:36:24.620 You know what I mean?

01:36:25.260 And, and, and can we have them say decent things about society and, and try to help

01:36:31.040 us be better people?

01:36:32.820 Um, but, uh, if you look at the films now, angel is really, I think leading the way on

01:36:38.340 this.

01:36:38.960 Um, if you see some of the stuff that's coming and I think we're right on the cusp, I started

01:36:44.420 the blaze, you know, before, before Amazon and, and, uh, HBO were online.

01:36:50.320 Uh, we were doing digital streaming at the blaze and it was a nightmare.

01:36:57.100 Now, 12 years later, things are happening to where there is a community.

01:37:03.340 You give it another five years and we're not going to have to worry about Hollywood.

01:37:08.160 You know, and it really just breaks your heart.

01:37:11.160 Um, you know, I feel like so many people have come before me and fought this battle and nobody

01:37:17.180 was paying attention.

01:37:18.060 Um, so I really am honored to be in a position where people are paying attention right now

01:37:23.840 and to give respect to those people that came before me, um, those actors and everybody that

01:37:30.020 was trying to break down the barriers for so long.

01:37:32.740 Um, you know, it breaks my heart that, you know, they didn't get justice.

01:37:36.920 And so, um, you know, yeah, I'm, I feel pretty fortunate, you know, to be in the situation

01:37:43.880 to help with that because yes, in five years, it's going to be even better.

01:37:49.480 And I'm excited to have just been at the beginning of this, just how I was at the beginning of

01:37:54.740 women's mixed martial arts, you know, part of breaking ground here. 1.00

01:38:01.060 And so I really hope this case is, um, I hope, I hope people pay attention to it and

01:38:07.060 blow it out of the water and just make sure that, you know, we're going to make it easier

01:38:10.740 for the next generation and the people, the younger people behind me.

01:38:15.080 I have such great respect for you.

01:38:17.420 Thank you so much for coming on.

01:38:19.120 You're welcome here anytime.

01:38:20.760 Um, best of luck to you.

01:38:22.600 You bet.

01:38:23.020 Thank you so much, Glenn.

01:38:24.200 You bet.

01:38:25.360 Gina Carano.

01:38:26.260 Um, all right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:38:28.160 It's Jace Medical.

01:38:29.080 Well, bad enough, we have to rely on China to provide us with the overwhelming majority 0.99

01:38:33.680 of our life-saving antibiotic medications.

01:38:36.820 You know, you don't even have to think about going to war.

01:38:39.540 Have you, have you seen what's happening to China's stock market?

01:38:42.940 Uh, I know that puts me in a weird category, but what's happening over there, they are on

01:38:48.160 the verge of collapse.

01:38:50.280 Uh, in fact, the United States, and this one thing that we should point out that has happened,

01:38:54.260 that it's a good thing with our economy under the Biden administration is we are now buying

01:38:58.840 less from, uh, China than we have in a very, very long time, and we're getting most things

01:39:05.220 from Mexico.

01:39:06.940 Uh, I wonder what we had to trade for that, but, um, we get most things from Mexico now

01:39:11.400 and not China, which is very good.

01:39:13.460 It's closer to home, but still not home.

01:39:15.500 Um, but if there is a shutdown of any kind, most of our life-saving medications are still

01:39:22.780 made in China.

01:39:24.680 So what do you do about it?

01:39:25.960 Get the Jace case by Jace Medical.

01:39:28.520 It's part of a different, uh, way of getting antibiotics.

01:39:37.520 a host of bacterial illnesses that you might have in an emergency.

01:39:40.580 You can keep it in your home, ready for use in a situation where you otherwise might not

01:39:45.000 be able to get the medication that you need because you're out camping or, you know, there's

01:39:49.280 a supply chain problem.

01:39:50.820 Uh, they also could help you with the vast majority of your vital medications, and you

01:40:18.600 10 seconds, station ID.

01:40:29.880 You know, everything you hear about her is, is good, unless you're talking to somebody from 1.00

01:40:34.840 the left, you know, she, she sounds really rooted in all the right things.

01:40:41.400 She seems humble, humbled by God.

01:40:44.760 Definitely.

01:40:45.220 Uh, I really like her.

01:40:46.780 Yeah.

01:40:46.960 I really like her.

01:40:48.120 She's great.

01:40:48.720 Yeah.

01:40:49.180 Do you see, by the way, the thing that, uh, Elon Musk tweeted out about Disney general

01:40:53.900 entertainment content inclusion standards?

01:40:56.680 No.

01:40:57.240 What are you saying?

01:40:58.460 An anonymous source sent him this from Disney.

01:41:02.060 Mandatory institutionalized racism and sexism.

01:41:05.680 They're standard A for onscreen representation.

01:41:08.660 You have to meet at least three of these five following areas when you're, uh, assembling

01:41:14.340 characters for a show on Disney.

01:41:17.200 Um, characters must be 50% or more of regular and recurring written characters have to come

01:41:22.780 from underrepresented groups.

01:41:24.920 Uh, 50% or more of the actors of regular and recurring actors have to come from underrepresented

01:41:32.660 groups.

01:41:33.540 Three secondary characters, meaningful inclusion of underrepresented groups as secondary or more

01:41:40.820 minor onscreen individuals, including background characters.

01:41:44.780 So you're talking about, you know, LGBTQ, you're talking about, um, BIPOC people series premise,

01:41:53.180 meaningful integration of underrepresented groups in overall themes and narratives and episodic

01:41:59.320 storytelling is the last one.

01:42:01.080 Ongoing meaningful integration of underrepresented groups and episodic themes and narratives.

01:42:06.780 Then they go through the same thing.

01:42:09.300 The same thing for writers, the same thing for producers, the same thing for all of it.

01:42:13.620 Yeah.

01:42:13.940 It's just their propaganda.

01:42:15.780 It's just, they're normalizing and, um, and, and changing our society.

01:42:22.220 Essentially.

01:42:23.100 It's amazing that it's Disney doing this.

01:42:25.800 Isn't it?

01:42:26.620 I mean, this is so against what Walt represented.

01:42:30.220 Yeah.

01:42:31.400 Yeah.

01:42:31.960 Well, I mean, uh, you know, Disney, uh, Disney has been going down this road for a very,

01:42:37.980 very, very long time and they're a creative company and creative company.

01:42:43.140 They have a lot of artistic people and a lot of artistic people think differently than,

01:42:46.940 you know, non-artistic people.

01:42:49.220 And so, you know, you had a company full of this that just got more and more woke over

01:42:55.100 the years.

01:42:55.720 And now, I mean, it's everywhere.

01:42:58.920 I mean, you, you would have to shut that company down and then rehire to get the woke

01:43:04.340 out.

01:43:04.640 And I don't know if you could do that.

01:43:05.920 Yeah.

01:43:06.100 I don't know if you could do it.

01:43:07.500 So, all right.

01:43:08.540 Coming up in just a second, we have Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law school, professor emeritus,

01:43:13.980 a host of the Dershow and the author of Get Trump.

01:43:18.160 Will SCOTUS rule President Trump is eligible or not to be on the 2024 ballot?

01:43:24.900 We just heard the arguments back and forth in the last hour.

01:43:29.200 Now, what does he think they'll decide?

01:43:31.740 What did the questions by the justices lead him to believe?

01:43:36.740 Which direction are they going?

01:43:39.640 Next.

01:43:43.340 Tunnel to Towers Foundation, their mission is to do good and make sure to never forget the

01:43:49.000 horrific events of September 11th, 2001.

01:43:51.640 For them, that means never forgetting the soldiers and first responders who put their lives on

01:43:57.460 the line and ever since.

01:43:58.940 The foundation is committed to helping these heroes and their families, heroes like retired

01:44:03.120 Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Cardoz.

01:44:06.080 Lieutenant Colonel served his country for two decades.

01:44:10.640 He had a ton of accommodations, including a bronze star.

01:44:14.280 During his time overseas, he was exposed to toxic burn pits.

01:44:17.980 Sadly, he contracted cancer and died from the burn pits.

01:44:22.800 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped in and paid the mortgage off to his family's home,

01:44:26.780 enabling his widow and the six children to stay in the home and remove an enormous financial

01:44:32.560 burden from their shoulders.

01:44:34.040 That's what they do.

01:44:35.260 The foundation helps Gold Star families and the families of fallen first responders,

01:44:39.740 as well as catastrophically injured heroes and homeless vets.

01:44:43.240 But they can only do it with your help.

01:44:44.720 Would you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org?

01:44:49.680 That's T, the number two, T, dot org.

01:44:52.100 Glenn Beck, Stubergear, Steve Dace, Jason Whitlock, and me, Pat Gray.

01:44:55.300 Listen to all your favorite conservative voices at blazetv.com, promo code GLEN30.

01:45:05.260 Possibly one of the greatest litigators of our time, Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School

01:45:19.960 professor emeritus, host of the Dershow podcast and author of the book, Get Trump.

01:45:25.760 Boy, did he not have that one nailed.

01:45:27.940 That is exactly what's happening today.

01:45:30.500 Supreme Court, get Trump.

01:45:32.360 This one will decide whether or not states can take Donald Trump off the ballot because

01:45:38.820 apparently he was in an insurrection but was never charged.

01:45:43.380 I don't know what I was listening to last hour, but Alan Dershowitz can make sense of it all.

01:45:49.700 Alan, welcome to the program.

01:45:51.560 Well, I can't make sense of it.

01:45:53.220 I have rarely seen two less able lawyers argue so important the case.

01:46:01.620 They have both missed the point.

01:46:05.620 The star of these proceedings are the justices.

01:46:08.520 They're the only ones who've made good arguments.

01:46:11.080 And they've made very good arguments on both sides.

01:46:13.380 But they've made the arguments for the litigants.

01:46:16.140 Trump's lawyer just dropped the ball, made the wrong argument to the wrong justices.

01:46:23.020 He didn't understand the rule.

01:46:24.400 He didn't understand the issues.

01:46:27.260 And the lawyer for Colorado, same thing.

01:46:29.980 I mean, these are B-minus performances in an A-plus issue.

01:46:35.240 How is that possible?

01:46:36.960 It's shocking.

01:46:38.340 You know what they were like?

01:46:39.880 The lawyers were like the lawyers who advised the presidents of colleges, Harvard and MIT.

01:46:49.320 And MIT, they were so taken up by kind of legal technicalities that they didn't see the big issues.

01:46:59.340 And it's shocking to me that these lawyers, both of whom are relatively experienced, just didn't get it.

01:47:08.720 And they had to, both of them, be rescued by the justices themselves.

01:47:11.760 So, what did you get from the justices on a lean?

01:47:20.260 Any indication of where they're going with this?

01:47:23.640 Yeah, I think the leaning is in favor of Trump, despite Trump's lawyer.

01:47:28.140 Not on the ground that Trump's lawyer argued, but on other grounds, grounds that I've been arguing for a long time,

01:47:34.520 that only Congress, under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, has the authority to implement Section 3.

01:47:40.700 That's the argument the justices seem to be focused on.

01:47:43.900 That's the argument that I have written about over and over again.

01:47:46.960 But I gather the lawyers didn't read my article.

01:47:49.620 So, you know, they just argued the wrong provisions of the Constitution.

01:47:56.380 So, let me ask you, Alan, this is the one thing, and, you know, this is just coming to you as a layperson who doesn't know squat about the law.

01:48:03.440 But how can he be taken off for insurrection when he's got a billion lawsuits against him and not one has charged him with anything like that?

01:48:16.880 How can you be excluded for something nobody's even charged you with officially in court, let alone proven?

01:48:25.680 To show you how absurd Jason Murray's argument is, he's the lawyer for Colorado.

01:48:31.520 He said on January 6th, the minute the president engaged in the insurrection he did, he was no longer eligible to be president.

01:48:39.300 So, for the last 14 days of January, between January 6th and January 20th, we had no president, according to that argument.

01:48:49.820 According to that argument, the country was without a president for 14 days.

01:48:54.200 That is such an absurd argument.

01:48:56.640 And the justices, of course, both told it immediately.

01:48:59.140 They're doing it right now as we speak.

01:49:01.200 But I tell you, if I had students in my class that made arguments like this, I think I would suggest Divinity School or Business School.

01:49:13.880 I just don't think these are great lawyer arguments.

01:49:18.180 And the public, you know, deserves great lawyers making great arguments in a case as great and as important as this one.

01:49:25.840 This is such a disappointment from the point of view of advocacy.

01:49:32.380 But it's been very good from the point of view of the justices themselves.

01:49:36.420 They've asked the right questions.

01:49:38.500 What's the ramification of the Supreme Court making too broad of a decision or getting this wrong?

01:49:49.720 I don't think the court's going to get it wrong.

01:49:51.520 I think they're going to make a very narrow decision.

01:49:53.180 They're going to say, absent any congressional action under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, this is not self-enforcing.

01:50:00.580 He wasn't disqualified from being president on January 6th.

01:50:05.240 You have to have a process.

01:50:06.320 He has to be charged with insurrection.

01:50:08.200 There has to be some process.

01:50:09.980 And that's what I would have argued.

01:50:11.900 And that's what the justices wanted them to argue.

01:50:16.300 But they just didn't do it.

01:50:17.960 They just didn't do it.

01:50:18.800 I want to keep this a little bit short today because I want to get back to listening to the argument.

01:50:23.980 Yes, okay.

01:50:24.500 But I think that the court will decide in favor of Trump narrowly on a technical issue without getting to the issue of whether or not he is disqualified or whether he committed an insurrection or anything like that.

01:50:41.180 But this is a major disappointment from a guy who's been an advocate for 60 years and had heard such good things about these lawyers.

01:50:50.420 They were overprepared technically, underprepared emotionally and politically, and in any practical sense of the word.

01:51:00.680 Common sense was missing today from the arguments of both of those lawyers.

01:51:04.620 That is the theme almost of every show.

01:51:06.700 Alan Dershowitz, thank you so much.

01:51:08.460 Host of the Dershow and Get Trump is his book.

01:51:12.560 God bless you, Alan.

01:51:13.280 Thank you.

01:51:14.480 That's not what I expected to hear.

01:51:16.300 No.

01:51:16.980 No, but it sounds promising, though.

01:51:19.840 He really thinks Trump's going to win this case, despite his lawyers.

01:51:24.160 Consider this, too.

01:51:24.980 This is really bad, man.

01:51:26.860 It is.

01:51:27.140 If you are at the highest court making an argument on something this important, what the hell do we have coming towards us?

01:51:36.660 You need to be better.

01:51:38.120 A lot better.

01:51:39.600 And, you know, we talked about it at the time we were listening to him.

01:51:42.860 How do you not make the case that this man hasn't even been charged with, tried for, or convicted of any insurrection?

01:51:51.540 You know what?

01:51:52.280 I have to ask that.

01:51:53.220 We have to get somebody else on tomorrow, because I wasn't satisfied with that answer, and I knew he was in a hurry, so I didn't push it.

01:51:58.440 But I wasn't satisfied with that answer, because there should not be anything that you are charged with, but haven't gone through a system of court to make sure that it's true.

01:52:12.580 Otherwise, if you're in power, you can charge everyone with insurrection.

01:52:16.660 Exactly.

01:52:16.860 And then nobody could run for office.

01:52:18.800 Correct.

01:52:19.080 I mean, that doesn't make any sense.

01:52:21.160 So I'm not satisfied with his answer.

01:52:24.020 But apparently, according to the Constitution, maybe, it doesn't seem to matter that much, which that would be something I would correct pretty quickly.

01:52:31.500 That's definitely how they're treating it in this Supreme Court hearing.

01:52:35.800 Yeah.

01:52:36.180 Consider this, too.

01:52:37.140 This is kind of a side issue, a little sidebar to the trial.

01:52:41.080 Alan Dershowitz is 85 years old.

01:52:45.200 I know.

01:52:45.600 Listen to the difference between that 85-year-old and the 81-year-old at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

01:52:55.140 I know.

01:52:55.860 I know.

01:52:55.940 Oh, my gosh.

01:52:57.380 I know.

01:52:58.380 You talk about a difference.

01:53:00.020 Wow.

01:53:00.160 Just look at what's happened with the president just in the last week.

01:53:06.120 When was it?

01:53:06.540 A couple days ago, he was like, I want to choose my words.

01:53:10.060 There's some movement.

01:53:11.480 There's a response.

01:53:12.560 And he stumbles around for a minute or so.

01:53:14.920 And then the reporter says Hamas helping him out.

01:53:18.380 Yeah.

01:53:18.900 Right.

01:53:19.380 Yeah.

01:53:19.740 Yeah.

01:53:20.020 That's it.

01:53:20.500 Sorry.

01:53:20.940 Then, just a couple of days ago, Sunday, French President Macron, he said, was Mitteron.

01:53:28.120 Yeah.

01:53:29.220 He then called Donald Trump the sitting president.

01:53:32.980 He also, I don't know if you're aware, he also called the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

01:53:41.320 Okay.

01:53:41.960 Helmut Kohl has been dead since 2017, and he hasn't been Chancellor of Germany since 1998.

01:53:48.020 He said that he talked to him, too.

01:53:51.260 It's incredible.

01:53:52.480 So, Mitteron, Francis Kohl, he might have.

01:53:55.320 Again, he might be talking to the dead.

01:53:57.720 Well, either that or the dead people coming back to him going, Joe, come to the light.

01:54:01.980 Come to the light.

01:54:02.700 I mean, I don't know.

01:54:04.320 I don't know.

01:54:05.740 I know.

01:54:06.160 But, you know, this is getting to the point to where it just can't be ignored by people.

01:54:12.360 It can't be.

01:54:13.540 And you know that the Democrats don't want this.

01:54:16.640 I, you know, I said this yesterday, but I think that they are, I think they're exposing

01:54:21.420 all of this stuff as much as they can instead of keeping him in a basement.

01:54:26.180 Might be right.

01:54:27.000 So people see it and go, you know, the Democrats, because they can't convince him.

01:54:32.600 He's got to say, I'm not going to run.

01:54:34.420 And, you know, Dr. Jill, it's despicable that she's pushing him forward on this.

01:54:42.260 Why would you do that?

01:54:43.680 It's elder abuse.

01:54:45.240 It is.

01:54:46.540 Yeah.

01:54:47.140 He should be home.

01:54:49.020 If not in a rest home, you should be at home in Delaware, resting.

01:54:55.240 I got to tell you, I, you know, we've been with my father-in-law who is in a critical

01:55:00.560 condition, stable, the critical condition in New Haven.

01:55:04.980 And, you know, the doctor came and talked to us about, you know, the future and things.

01:55:10.480 And, and we said, he's all there.

01:55:13.320 It's, it's his decision on how to proceed on things, but we all just want the best for

01:55:19.940 him.

01:55:20.160 Nobody wants to see him suffer.

01:55:24.020 Nobody wants to see, you know, let God take his course.

01:55:28.100 And, you know, you, you wouldn't want your dad or your wife or your husband walking around 1.00

01:55:38.440 looking like this, humiliating himself all the time, humiliating.

01:55:43.020 Yeah.

01:55:43.200 It's humiliating.

01:55:44.720 It's, and, and more than just being humiliating to him, it's humiliating to the country.

01:55:51.400 I mean, the rest of the world is watching this and no doubt mocking and laughing at us.

01:55:57.220 Can you imagine if you are Vladimir Putin, what you're thinking?

01:56:02.520 Oh my gosh.

01:56:03.500 You've got an easy mark here.

01:56:05.220 Oh, so easy.

01:56:06.560 Go, go, go right now before somebody else gets in.

01:56:09.720 Now's the time to do it.

01:56:11.060 No doubt.

01:56:11.620 It's why he went into Ukraine in the first place. 0.97

01:56:14.740 Had Trump been in office, he wouldn't have done it.

01:56:16.820 And he didn't when Trump was in office.

01:56:19.380 And, you know, he was, he was absolutely a thousand times better back then.

01:56:27.500 Oh yeah.

01:56:28.420 I mean, the decay of his motor and, and a memory.

01:56:33.560 It's been amazing lately.

01:56:34.580 He is just, it's gone.

01:56:37.600 It's bad.

01:56:38.120 It's bad.

01:56:38.880 Yeah.

01:56:39.140 Bad.

01:58:36.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:58:53.100 Well, today at 5 o'clock, the Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin drops.

01:59:00.080 He's now on a kill list.

01:59:01.540 And I did tweet him or text him this morning and said, yeah, hey, thanks a lot for texting me.

01:59:06.060 I don't know who this Tucker Carlson guy is.

01:59:08.500 I have no idea.

01:59:09.500 Stop texting me. 0.51

01:59:10.560 But he's on a kill list now, apparently, with Ukraine.

01:59:15.820 It's a list of enemies.

01:59:17.240 I don't know if it's a kill list.

01:59:18.840 But the EU wants to ban his travel.

01:59:21.280 Nobody's seen what he talked to him about.

01:59:23.280 And I think it's really important that we all see it.

01:59:28.460 Now, here's what I would be.

01:59:31.040 If I were there and I would have done that interview, maybe not in Russia, because I don't know if I could have gotten out.

01:59:36.720 But here's what I would make sure that I was doing.

01:59:41.880 The guy is going to try to appeal to people who are feeling our country is in chaos and wants an American dictator.

01:59:51.280 And if Dugan has his way, Putin is going to talk about our immorality, our loss of faith, transgenderism, what's happening on our streets, what's happening with drugs.

02:00:04.440 Tucker, I think, could allow him one approach on that.

02:00:09.720 And then he's got to say, but this is not about America.

02:00:12.800 We have our own problems.

02:00:14.100 This is not about internal problems of America.

02:00:17.840 This is about what you are saying about this war.

02:00:21.540 So we can talk about American war machine, you know, NATO, but not internal policy.

02:00:26.980 If it gets away from Tucker and he allows Putin to really, then it's propaganda.

02:00:36.860 And it will be bad.

02:00:38.020 It will be bad.

02:00:38.760 But I hope that Tucker is not going to do that.

02:00:42.380 He's a smart enough guy.

02:00:45.400 But Putin, as Megyn Kelly said, Putin is really, really slick.

02:00:50.940 He's a master manipulator.

02:00:53.280 So Tucker needs to focus on the real issue, which, of course, is Taylor Swift and whether or not she's going to make it to the Super Bowl on time.

02:01:03.160 And how many times are we going to show her up in the booth? 0.99

02:01:06.620 I don't, I'm not sure that's really the real issue.

02:01:10.000 But how many fans have come to see her?

02:01:12.160 You know, does this increase the attendance and the viewership of the Super Bowl?

02:01:16.960 I would love to have Tucker say to Putin, if we sent you Taylor Swift, could that solve this whole dispute?

02:01:24.960 Yeah, could it end everything?

02:01:26.500 You get out of Ukraine if we send you Taylor Swift.

02:01:29.580 Taylor Swift.

02:01:30.560 Yeah, yeah.

02:01:31.560 That's a good arrangement.

02:01:33.060 A lot of people don't like Taylor Swift, apparently, being on their TV during football time.

02:01:38.540 I myself don't understand it.

02:01:40.420 I don't really care.

02:01:41.560 Yeah.

02:01:41.780 But I'm not, you know, a diehard footballer.

02:01:43.700 It's not as big a deal as people are making it out to be.

02:01:46.600 No, please.

02:01:48.020 But, you know, and besides, she's cutting her carbon footprint. 1.00

02:01:51.760 She's selling her jet.

02:01:52.840 One of her jets.

02:01:54.200 One of her.

02:01:54.980 Yeah, you're right.

02:01:55.580 One of her jets.

02:01:56.540 I mean, she can't do it without a jet. 1.00

02:01:58.520 Come on.

02:01:58.920 Right.

02:01:59.180 And she's going to her next concert because she's selling her dress. 0.99

02:02:04.400 She's going just on a rented jet. 0.98

02:02:08.840 So you're still speaking.

02:02:10.720 I don't understand.

02:02:11.940 That's really slumming it.

02:02:12.960 When you have to take a rented jet privately, it's just really slumming it.

02:02:17.420 Let me call an Uber. 0.81

02:02:19.040 No, thank you.
