Just a few hours after Congress sent the legislation for a brand new, $1.2 trillion bill funding the government through the fiscal year.
Starting point is 00:02:10 The Republicans caved. The Democrats don't seem to care at all about spending. This is the 12th now spending bill that the president has signed. $1.2 trillion. And what a surprise, just an hour or so after he signs the bill, it's crazy. Something is released by the federal government. On a Saturday, they made a big announcement. Gee, what could that announcement be? We'll show you in 60 seconds. It's also no coincidence that they held this until after the bill. Let me tell you about relief factor. If you are living with pain in your life, I bet you're getting tired of having to give things up. Everybody else around you just blast through their day like it's nothing, and there you are. Having to
Starting point is 00:03:00 catch up with them because you hurt. I know what it's like to feel. feel pain. I know what it's like to push through and just, you know, stop thinking about it. Stop thinking about it. Uh-huh. And being really frustrated after doing everything you were supposed to do, going to doctor after doctor, and you just can't find the solution. I found relief factor. It's not a drug. It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation. 100% drug-free. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start Kit. 90% or sorry, 70% of them have gone on to order it again. So see how relief factor is. can help you with their three-week quick start.
Starting point is 00:03:37 It's 1995 and comes with a relief factor, feel better, or your money back guarantee. So give it a try.relieffactor.com, Relieffactor.com, 1-800, the number four, relief. So after they signed the new budget deal, President Joe Biden's Department of Justice unveiled a brand-new entity that will train state and local officials on procedures to apply red-finding. flag laws to confiscate firearms from gun owners who are a threat to themselves or to others. Now, I want you to understand this is not something that has passed through Congress. These red flag laws have been going up for states and the federal government has been offering people help and advice and lots of money if they will join.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So the Department of Justice announced on Saturday the creation of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center. That's going to be hard to get that whole thing over the door of the building. I'm just saying it's not real catchy. The National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center. The entity is just going to be called the center. The National Extreme Risk Protection Protection. Protection Order Resource Center will provide training and technical assistance to law enforcement, officials, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim services, social service providers,
Starting point is 00:05:16 community organizations, behavioral health professionals responsible for implementing laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or others. That's all from the website. That's what they do. They're just going to provide. training and technical assistance and money. What was that last one? And behavioral health professionals responsible for implementing laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or other. So these are laws, not simple guidelines.
Starting point is 00:05:54 These are laws. And they are being implemented by behavioral health professionals who are responsible for those laws. Oh, I don't remember. Stu, who did you vote for on your behavioral health professionals that are responsible for these laws? Which one did you vote for? You know, I don't remember. There were so many good candidates this year. I know. We had more candidates and yet we ended up with these losers. The DOJ said in a statement, the ERPO laws, which are modeled off, modeled off domestic
Starting point is 00:06:31 violence protection orders create a civil process allowing law enforcement family members in most states and medical professionals or other groups in some states to petition a court to temporarily prohibit someone from harming themselves or others from purchasing or possessing firearms for the duration of the order. Now the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center's website declares that it will provide training and technical assistance, such as the development and dissemination of training for ERPO stakeholders. Stu, are you a stakeholder in this law? Because they didn't consult me or my representative.
Starting point is 00:07:19 My understanding is you do not need to be consulted to be a stakeholder. You sort of just forced into that life. Yeah. Yeah, okay, because your representative is supposed to represent you. This is the way stakeholder, we're not making this up. This is the way the stakeholder system works. You have your vote. That's it.
Starting point is 00:07:42 You have your vote. Now, you voted for a representative. And sorry, but this one didn't even go through Congress. So you know, this just went through the Department of Justice. Okay, so the development of justice. dissemination of trainings for ERPO stakeholders, support for states and local jurisdictions to implement ERPO programs, facilitation of peer-to-peer engagement with model ERPO learning sites, delivery of presentations and webinars to advance states and localities knowledge on key ERPO topics.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Now the red flag laws allow the government to confiscate firearms from legal gun owners without due process. Wait a minute, hang on just a second. I just saw something up here. ERPO laws, which are modeled after domestic create a civil process allowing law enforcement, family members and medical professions. It states to petition a court to temporary. prohibit someone risking harm to themselves. So wouldn't that be, because I've got to go to court, I guess they're not modeling after that, right?
Starting point is 00:09:06 I don't even get to face my accuser. Oh, that's an interesting piece of democracy I don't recall ever seeing before. So I don't get to go to court. My accuser and the ERPO people are just going to come to my house and take my gun because somebody has said, I am a danger to myself or to the community, and I have no due process. Huh, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:09:38 The DOJ press release said 21 states and the District of Columbia, so shockingly, have enacted ERPO laws. The White House noted that only six of the states that implemented ERPO laws have utilized federal funds, from the bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which offers $750 million for red flag programs. Medical health courts, love those medical health courts, drug courts, and even veteran treatment courts. Veteran treatment courts.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Man, do you remember when the government was pushing that you would get out and you'd get more money from the VA? You'd get special treatment from the VA. just say that you had some PSD, is that it? PTSD. Remember that? If you claimed PTSD, you'd get extra benefits. So a lot of guys were like, yeah, I'm going to do that. And I remember saying on the air, don't do that because now you're marking yourself as unstable. And if you're unstable, all the government has to do is say anybody who, you know, claim to have PTSD, well, gosh darn it, they can't have their guns because they might harm themselves or others. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Now, the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center is a collaboration. It is a public-private partnership between Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions and the U.S. Department of Justice and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. I don't even know what justice assistance is, but I'm sure that, you know, it's all great and full of great people. The Attorney General told us over the weekend the launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center will provide our partners across the country with valuable resources to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves and others. The establishment of the center is the latest example of the Justice Department's work to use every tool per person. provided by the landmark bipartisan Safer Communities Act to protect communities from gun violence.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Now, I don't know about you, but when that Safer Communities Act was passed, I remember a lot of talk about, hey, that's going to lead to a giant new organization that is going to be working with a hospital, by the way, the very first, German progressive hospital. It's John Hopkins that started it all, kids. So they're working with John Hopkins to
Starting point is 00:12:28 define what people should be looking for and that way they can just take your gun away without any kind of due process. I think this is good. I think this is good. Now, the story does say that conservatives
Starting point is 00:12:44 have been bashing the center as a new version of government overreach that attempts to infringe on the Second Amendment rights. Stu, how could these people think, these conservatives think that this is government overreach attempting to affringe on the Second Amendment rights? You know these conspiracy theorists. This is what they do every time, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:08 And you would know. Wait, what do you mean? Your Honor, it was Stu. It wasn't me. I don't know what you're talking about. He's the real danger. He's the puppet master. Let's see. David Harsani said, defending democracy by stripping Americans of their due process and Second Amendment rights is using unilateral federal decree. That's what this is. Timing of this is intentional. This is an unauthorized attack on our Second Amendment.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Libertarian activist Spike Cohen said this is federal red flag. Dana Lash said this won't apply to Hunter Biden illegal aliens or cartel members that Dems fight to arm. This is an attack on due process, ignores existing laws, and provides a way to adjudicate someone ineligible. All previous tragedies were preventable without removal of due process. Jay Michael Waller said, they will build the political police by whatever means necessary and the official count for the Libertarian Party. We will resist until the end of time. The right to keep and bear arms is non-negotiable. Your red flag schemes will fail. Now I'd like to comment more on this,
Starting point is 00:14:33 but my attorney is telling me now, you sure, that anything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law if I ever get to see a court of law because of the red flag laws and the Department of Justice's National Extreme Risk Protection Order Reh what a dumb name National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center thank you Joe Biden thank you I see who's fighting for the American way of law and the American way of life and the Constitution and our Bill of Rights. I salute you, Mr. President. Back in just a minute. Wow, that's a, that's an interesting one. Love to hear your thoughts. 8 at 877 B.E.C.K. It takes a lot of work to get a body like this, you know? I know you're watching this program and you're like, man, Glenn, how do you do it?
Starting point is 00:15:35 I kind of tell you, it's a lot of M&Ms. Takes a lot of M&Ms, you know. Not a lot of people are willing to devote the time, you know, to Red Vines, M&Ms all the time. You've got to be willing to sit in a chair for three hours a day. You've got to be willing to sit in the car on the ride here and then the ride home. You know, move your foot on the pedals as little as possible. And you've got to, you know, kick off your shoes and be willing to sit on the couch the rest of the day. That's how you do it. That's how you do it.

Starting point is 00:17:48 Hello, Stu. Glenn, how are you? How was your weekend? You know, it was good. It was good. I, you know, was up here in the snow, in the mountains, and it was nice and peaceful. And then every time I looked at the news, that peace went away. But, you know, hey, hey, we're going to do it. We're going to be peaceful. We're going to be good, and we're going to be great, and we're going to save our country.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And Donald Trump today, money's going to start shooting out of his butt so he doesn't have to worry about going bankrupt. Actually, I want to talk about that a little bit. I think going bankrupt might be the best thing he could do. Declaring bankruptcy, I mean, it would be a hassle, but declaring bankruptcy, everybody in America, you're going to bankrupt the guy now? Really? I mean, it doesn't sound very Trumpian.
Starting point is 00:18:40 No, it doesn't. It doesn't. He did have to do this one time famously back in the day, but it was with his company not personally. Man, I can't imagine him doing that, but in the middle of a campaign, but wait, wait, but why, why not? This isn't his fault. This is not, this is, this, well, you, I mean, yes, you're right. It is, he did open his mouth, but a $454 million judgment on that. Come on. Oh, no, I've ever seen anything like that. I mean, I think you're right in that, you know, all these penalties are completely ridiculous. When you say, I think you, what you're
Starting point is 00:19:14 referring to when he opened his. mouth is the Eugen Carroll thing, which he probably could have avoided about $80 million here if he just decided not to continue talking about her. What was the 400 and this was on his business. That was the Letitia James was the 400 million. Oh my gosh, that's right. That's the German bank testifying there will no no victims here, which Germans can't say that very often, you know?
Starting point is 00:19:42 There's no victims, no victims. he paid the money back. They took it. Oh my gosh, that's right. That's even more egregious. It really is. I mean, and the worst part about this, and it's really tough on Trump in that he is, I think he has a really good chance of getting this overturned or at least minimized when it comes to appeal. It's not like he has a 0% chance of winning this as a rolls for the court. I think he's got a really good chance. And like I just keep coming back to this idea that we now have. this, the Democratic Party, which is running its entire campaign basically saying, we are the saviors of democracy. But look at all the things they're doing right now. They're trying to throw their opponent in prison. They're trying to get him taken off the ballot.
Starting point is 00:20:28 They're trying to personally bankrupt him. They are also... All things that Vladimir Putin's done. Go ahead. They are also trying to get third party candidates removed from the ballot in state after state after state after state. They are denying secret service protection. to RFK Jr., who basically every other family member that he has has been assassinated or at least attempted.
Starting point is 00:20:50 I think even if you have a good smile or big teeth, those people are in danger. So it's like they kill all the Kennedys. I don't know, he might be a Kennedy. Look at his teeth. I mean, either. The man needs secret service detail. Pretty much every Kennedy has either been assassinated, attempted to be assassinated, or has committed some horrific crime against someone else.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Some will qualify for multiple parts of that group. With some of the family members, maybe it balances itself out. Is that what you're saying? It's a very balanced family if you look at the hole. You just have to do a lot of averaging to get there. But then you also go back to the primary where they did everything they can to change the rules and make it difficult for anyone to challenge him in a primary. And he wouldn't even debate his primary opponents. I mean, how is this the face of democracy?
Starting point is 00:21:45 They're trying to do everything they can to have a ballot for you that has one name on it. That is not democracy. And yet, that is what they're attempting. We need to go, you need to go over to the museum, go over to the safe, ask somebody over at Mercury 1 to get the two ballots we have for Adolf Hitler. The early one, and it has two names, but there's something special about it. and the later one that just has his name. I mean, that's really what we're doing. That's really what we're doing.

Starting point is 00:24:13 Lincoln Day event, that's Ada County Idaho. It's up in Boise and I am really looking forward to it. I was supposed to do their Lincoln Day dinner, and then I didn't get a chance to do it because my father-in-law
Starting point is 00:24:29 died, so they were kind enough to move. that to this Wednesday. And I've got a I've got a lot to say to both the left and the right of the party because this one is one we all have to come together. And I tell you, I've had some problems with the governor of Idaho in the past. But hopefully all those things are now passed because we have got to unite, find our common interests, and win. And we can't do it unless we are together. So I hope that he attends. I'm not sure, but Governor Little is, you know, a guy who has done a lot.
Starting point is 00:25:16 A, he's sent people down to the Texas border, which I really appreciate as a Texan. He also just signed the medical parental bill of rights, which if you don't have one in your state, you need to get one. All medical procedures, conversations, vaccinations, mental health, including no more transition talks at school without the knowledge of parents. And parents are to direct the medical future of their kids. And he just signed that in a lot. By the way, it also provided a private right of action. And I'll tell you, the people that were. fighting against this.
Starting point is 00:26:05 It's amazing how hard they are pushing back. And Barbara Earhart and others, Barbara is the one who I think put this bill through and everybody came together, thank God,
Starting point is 00:26:22 you know, tough, tough fight and Governor Little signed it. I'm grateful for that. So I hope to see you at the Lincoln Day dinner if you are anywhere near Boise, Idaho. I'd love to see it. On Wednesday night, you're just going to have to look it up because they didn't tell me how to buy tickets because I didn't need to buy tickets. So we'll see you Wednesday night.
Starting point is 00:26:45 All right. We've been talking this morning about this new super, super classic thing that I think everybody is going to love. The National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center. It opened on Saturday. That's when they announced it. It was weird because it was. was like all ready to go, you know. And I guess maybe they were just too busy looking at that $1.2 trillion bill that they wanted to jam through that had all kinds of favors for everybody in
Starting point is 00:27:15 it. But they pushed that through. And then right after they were like, oh, you know what? We forgot. We should introduce to the American people, strangely on a Saturday, about the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center, where they can take away your gun rights without any due process. And it's a public-private partnership. So, you know, if the government can't do something, it's okay. The private sector can do it. John Hopkins, you know, the first progressive university and hospital in the United
Starting point is 00:27:46 States, you know, that good German stock, you know, right around the turn of the century, you wanted to be hanging out with the eugenics team that were German. And then the good, you know, eugenics people that were American, man, all those doctors got together Johns Hopkins and what a difference they made you know what a difference they made so now they're kind of the public private partnership and the government's just going to do what they say because you know whatever the rules are that they say because they're experts are you an expert you don't know let me go to Jerry in Texas hello Jerry hi Ben hi Glenn how are you well I'm good I'm good I guess sorry I called you Ben I'm just a little nervous here I don't
Starting point is 00:28:32 be nervous. Thanks. What's going on here with this is not only is this against the second amendment. We all, we all know what the second amendment reads. It's also against, it's also against the Fourth Amendment, it's also against the Fifth Amendment, it's also against the Seventh Amendment, and the Eighth Amendment, and the Fourteenth Amendment. And I can read them if you want me to, but it's going to take a while, and I'm not a fast reader. No, I, we'll get, we'll get that out, because you're exactly right. You're exactly right. It is not just one amendment, but this is the way they operate now. They don't care about any of the Bill of Rights amendments.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Those, the amendments to the Constitution were put there by the founders after they put the constitution together. A year later, they're like, you know what, there are going to be a lot of stupid people that are going to be running through Congress and as president. Let's just make this super, super clear that the government that's run by that constitution right over there cannot ever do any of these things because that's tyranny. And you're right, it's not just one amendment. All of them, all of them are being violated on a daily basis and nobody seems to care. All right, let me go to Kenny in Indiana. Hello, Kenny. When you were talking about
Starting point is 00:29:57 Ner Pork or whatever that agency, you said I had a long name and probably couldn't sit it over the door, so I kind of made an acronym there. Yes. When you were talking about it, I went from entertainment to enlightenment. A bulb went off in my head and I thought, oh my gosh, I'm one of those crazy people. They had to take my gun away from me because several years ago I had tenetists or whatever, you know, the hearing condition. Tinnitus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Yeah. So I went to a couple of specialists and, you know, they tested me and this and I filled out this survey and it was like just, the front of one page and had smiley faces and frowny faces. You had the circle, I feel depressed today, you know, scale of one to five. I feel like harming myself or others. And I remember filling out that survey thinking, this is weird. Why do they need to know this? And then fast forward a couple of years ago, I was taking Tylenol a lot for pain and my doctor said, oh, I don't want you on that. I want you on Tramidol, which is a controlled substance. So now you've got to come see me every quarter. So I go to the doctor quarterly because I'm on this controlled substance,
Starting point is 00:31:05 and I have to fill out that exact same survey with the smiley faces. But it's two different offices. One was a hearing center, and another one is my regular primary care doctor. And my wife told me a couple weeks ago that she filled out a survey, described it to me, and it was the same dang survey. And all of a sudden, I realize, you know, they're collecting this. If you say I'm depressed over an event in your life, like your mother died or something? Oh, yeah. If they catch you that week and you say, yeah, I'm depressed, then they can literally say you can't have a gun.
Starting point is 00:31:39 It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And anyone can do it. And I'm pretty sure you don't get to face your accuser. You don't know who did it, turned you in as unstable. And there's no recourse for you. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:56 there's no due process for you. This is such an extreme violation of the Constitution. And, you know, thank God there is election just a few months away. But this has got to stop. This has got to stop. It's, again, the public-private partnership that the government's laying out. That way, they can violate the Constitution because it's a public-private partnership. They're not government.
Starting point is 00:32:27 They're not government. That's just Google. They're fine. I mean, we talk to them every day. We tell them exactly what they can and can't do. And if they disobey us, we then threaten them with all kinds of legal action. But, you know, they're doing it because they really, really want to. And the same thing, you know, with this, we're not, look, we're just trying to provide a service.
Starting point is 00:32:49 That's all we're doing. We're just trying to protect the citizens, you know. And if other citizens think that, you know, you are a threat, well, we should know that. So we can just, if it would just save one life, if it would just save one life. Yeah. Now, we don't think that with transgender surgery. No. No.
Starting point is 00:33:11 If it takes a few lives, that's all right. But we want to make sure that those kids that really will grow up to want to be transgender, well, that they get that early stuff. And if, you know, if a few kids are mutilated or harmed in the way, hey, that's okay. But on guns, you know, if it would just save one life. Let me go to Bill in Missouri. Hello, Bill. Oh, I'm in Michigan.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Oh, you're in Michigan. I'm sorry. How are you? I'm doing fine. It's an honor to talk to you. Thank you, sir. latest push against guns and I think it's but then I'm a conspiracy nut but I think it's interesting that this is coming out at the same time we're hearing
Starting point is 00:34:03 reports of gangs roaming our country gathering in groups of 12 and 15 and just breaking into homes and taking what they want and I think it's so interesting these two together why what do you what do you tie together how do you tie those two together. This way. The Democrats have seen to have quite an affinity towards lawlessness.
Starting point is 00:34:30 In fact, our Vice President even went so far to bail these rioters out of jail. Yes. So we want to protect those young men that are coming into our homes so they don't accidentally get shot by some
Starting point is 00:34:44 errant... Crazy not job. Yeah. Some Aaron. homeowner who just who just thinks he's protecting his own stuff yeah yeah well that's what you know that's why they have this uh the center available so we can we can help those illegals or those uh those thugs or anybody else that just wants to come in to your house you're right um i do think that is just a little coincidental if the government read the constitution their job is to protect the American people. Their job is to, what is the preamble say, Stu, of the Constitution,
Starting point is 00:35:28 to provide for the common defense and to, what is it? You have it? I'm pulling it up here. I can't quote it off the top of my head. I went to public school, but we have, let's see, we people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity to ordain and establish this constitution. Does that sound at all like what our government is doing? At all. Read it again and stop after everything, after everything they're supposed to do. We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Establish justice. Is there justice? Are they establishing justice or are they establishing social justice? Next. ensure domestic tranquility. Who's splitting us apart? I contend it is the parties and the government. Provide for the common defense. Really? Have you? Look at the border. Promote the general welfare?
Starting point is 00:36:32 I don't even know what that means, but I don't think they're promoting it. Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. They're violating the Constitution. So they're not doing that either. I mean, he's exactly right. Our last caller was exactly right. At the time when you feel the most unsafe in my lifetime, they're taking away your guns so you can't protect yourself.

Starting point is 00:38:44 It's the new center to take away your guns without any due process. It's an exciting story. Also, talking about Donald Trump, he goes in court today. Today's the day they can start taking his assets if they want. You know, I think that's only going to make him more popular and more, you know, more strong for the, for the election, because the Democrats are being seen as total dictators on this. You don't do this. This is what Putin does. And they're also trying to get rid of anybody else on their, on their ballot. So they're trying to kick RFK Jr. off. And what's Cornell West? They're trying to get off. of the ballot. Jill Stein, too.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Jill Stein. So you just don't have anybody else. And I said to Stu, this reminds me of what happened with the Nazi party. Yeah, and you kind of, this is, I think, maybe the ballot with just a name change that the Democratic Party seems to want. This is a historical ballot from Glenn's Mercury One museum.
Starting point is 00:39:50 And it just has Adolf Hitler as, you know, the only option, which is seemingly the goal here. Yeah, you want You want to vote for the head of the Nazi party? Well, you have Adolf Hitler. Yeah. What was it?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Okay. What the other options are? And then you have this one, which is also interesting. This is do you want to join the Nazis? And this one has a yes and no option. Okay. So there's a little democracy there. However, you note on the ballot, you've got the yes is a giant circle and the no is a little
Starting point is 00:40:29 tiny one. Like they actually made yes bigger. I actually I refer to this as Facebook 1.0. You know, I don't know if the Germans were like, gee, I wonder if they are telling me one's better than the
Starting point is 00:40:45 other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are. They are. So we've seen this kind of stuff before and don't be fooled by it. Don't be frightened by it. Just refuse to participate with it. Uh, sorry. No can do. No, comprehend.
Starting point is 00:41:04 That was probably going around a lot. The Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you about American Giant, our sponsor this half hour. American Giant is remarkable in all ways. The guy who started the company just really believes in the American work ethic, believes that work really helps you develop, self-esteem. It helps whole cities and counties. If there is a productive factory, everything in that county changes. So, I don't know, a few years ago, it was maybe 2013. One of these big mills
Starting point is 00:41:49 that were making clothes went out of business. And I mean, that was the employer for the whole county. So he bought it and started American Giant. And they started making great clothing. And he wanted to do everything here in America. So with your pants, every ribbet, every, every stitch, every inch of fabric, every inch of thread, everything, that ink all made here in America. I want you to go and see the difference between American Giant and save 20% right now when you use my name. You cannot get clothing like this all made in America, any place else.

Starting point is 00:42:35 Look, Air Canada, did a sold world. Super, an offer for the assort. Station thermal, volcano. You've seen the price for the Japan? Mmm, emperg and sushi. Wow, the solds are good for Mayork also. We could go to the plage and make a round-doney.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Or, it'd say a long march on the border of the sea-sill. Hmm, I adore the canoly. Wait, this sold is d'Injur. Unlimited, Reserved to aircanada.com or at your agent of voyage. The conditions apply. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have a lot to talk about.
Starting point is 00:43:53 We are a country that is getting closer and closer to a massive war. We're at war with ourselves. Russia was under attack. They're blaming us today. And Ukraine, God only knows if our government is doing something behind our backs. I don't know, but they are doing things behind our back. behind our back. Just maybe not that. Maybe. I don't know. Should we give them the benefit of the doubt on that one? But they are going behind our back. And one of the things that they did on Saturday is they opened a really
Starting point is 00:44:27 special, special place. The Department of Justice, who we all trust now, announced the creation of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center. What do they do? well they're just coordinating things you know with the states and with public private partnerships and doctors to come up with new guidelines to make sure dangerous people don't have guns and they can come and take your gun away
Starting point is 00:44:56 and you don't have anything to say about it they're just issuing orders some people called in said that you probably are very very dangerous either to yourself or to others so we're going to have to take your gun And no court appearance.
Starting point is 00:45:14 What they say goes, I'll tell you that right now. Let's look at the Constitution and see how many things are being violated. We'll begin there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this F-hour. Our sponsor is Real Estate Agents I Trust. All right. Put a gun to my... No, well, don't put a gun to my head.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Oh, my gosh. That's even dangerous even saying that. Okay, tell me I'm going to get a tooth pulled with no anesthetic, by the way. I'm sorry, I'm riddled with ADD today. Stu, do you know that George Washington had awful teeth, right? Yes, I've heard this. Yeah, you've heard that. Okay, so he lost all of his teeth.
Starting point is 00:45:59 He started losing them young. He brushed and brushed and brushed. He didn't have fluoride in the water, which made all the fogs, you know, well, they weren't gay back then. They were all straight frogs, yeah. Right, all straight frogs. he had when he lost his last tooth before he became president he had no anesthesia they drilled into his jawbone and then jammed teeth in there hoping that they would graft to his jawbone can you imagine no with one of the not an electric you know one of those things are like Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:46:39 This sounds horrible. Terrible. And I'm not exactly sure how it ties into buying real estate, but it does sound somewhat similar. Would you rather have that or sell your home bad real estate agent, really bad contractor to come in and no, I'm going to get the job done in two weeks? You know, that kind of stuff. I would at least hesitate and say, wait a minute. Tell me about the drill thing. This is why you really need a great real estate agent.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Great real estate agent can make things really simple. And if you trust your agent, you're going to trust that they know the people in your area to get the job done. My company is dedicated 100% to pair you up with the real estate agent you can trust. Whether you're buying or selling, you just have questions. We've been helping this audience for over 10 years now through billions of dollars in sales. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. That's real estate agents.
Starting point is 00:47:33 I trust.com. So, you know, I thought we'd look at the Constitution. A caller last hour was right on the money. When he said, you know, this center that can take your gun away without due process. Yeah, that's a big one. That's a, you know, violation of the Second Amendment. But it's also a violation of many. other amendments. I want to go through the you know just the first ten
Starting point is 00:48:08 amendments okay first of all do you know how the Bill of Rights came about listen to what they wrote this is this is at the top of the page resolved resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled two-thirds of both houses concurring that the following articles be proposed to the legislatures of several states States as amendments to the Constitution of the United States. So here's a group of people. Imagine this. Two-thirds say, we believe these things should be done, but we have to send them to all of the
Starting point is 00:48:50 states to ratify, and they need two-thirds to be able to pass it in their state, and then we will need two-thirds of all the states to agree. Okay? Wow, what a process. And what are they trying to do? Get themselves a raise? No. Give themselves more power?
Starting point is 00:49:08 No. The exact opposite. Here's what they say. The amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all or any of which articles, when ratified by three-fourths of the legislatures to be valid in all intents and purposes as part of said Constitution. Articles in addition to and amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress and ratified by the legislature of several states. They're saying here that the after the convention, a number of states having at the time adopted
Starting point is 00:49:48 the constitution, this is in the little preamble here, expressed a desire in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its power. So the guys in the government said, afraid people are going to abuse the power and misunderstand the constitution so quote further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added and as extending the ground of public confidence in the government will best ensure the the benefit ends of the institution so they're saying look nobody trusts the government right now Does that sound familiar? Nobody trusts the government right now. So we want to pass and we want to pass several amendments here that will protect the rights and make sure that the hands are tied of the federal government. They're saying these are restrictive clauses. And by by telling the people we will never do these things confidence will be gained. I contend our our problem is we're no longer unified. on these 10 articles.
Starting point is 00:51:07 We no longer care about them. We no longer learn them, teach them, know them. So here's Article 1. Amendment number one, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. I contend we are violating that right now because what we are celebrating is a religion. It has a cult following. It has nothing to do with science or even common sense. It has a tribunal that will excommunicate you from society if you don't get involved.
Starting point is 00:51:44 It has rituals. It has laws that you just must accept on faith. I know that's pushing it, but I think they're doing that. They are also breaking the second part of the First Amendment. prohibiting the free exercise of religion. They did that during COVID, abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, and the right of the people to peacefully assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. They don't want you standing up.
Starting point is 00:52:21 They don't want you standing up. They'll do everything they can to make sure you sit down. If you're a constitutional, enough of this national Christian nationalist stuff. Enough of that. Don't dismiss it. It's real. It's very, very small, but it's real. So don't call yourself a Christian nationalist. Don't allow yourself to fall into that trap. No, you're not. You might be a Christian, but you are also a constitutionalist. You believe in the Constitution of the United States and the articles of the Constitution of the Bill of Rights. You believe in all of that stuff. That's all you want. Article 2, a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That's the one that everybody will look to on this particular new center from the Department of Justice. They, well-regulated militia.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Would that make sense, would it make sense that the people couldn't have guns and the federal government would have a huge army. No. In fact, we never had a standing army. We were the soldiers. We would be called up to arms. So you'd have your own arms. And then when there was war, you'd be called up in a militia.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Okay? But you had the right to protect yourself with a gun as well. Not I was for fishing or hunting or one of those things. No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. Article 3, I think we can skip over. Well, no, no actually not. No soldiers shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner,
Starting point is 00:54:16 nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. So Article 3, I think you could make the case. I don't think you'd win, but you could make the case that our government is quartered. Soldiers are quartered in our house because they are in a public-private partnership with Amazon and everybody else. They are gaining access to our papers, to our letters, to our emails, to our phone calls. That's what the government was doing
Starting point is 00:54:46 that made this article important. The king would say, you know what, find out what those guys are doing over there. And you know what? Just go into their house. You live there. I'm going to quarter you in their house so you can spy on them.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Well, it's just in a different way. but that's what's happening. Fourth Amendment, the right of people to be secure in their persons. Do you feel secure in your person? Houses, paper, effects against all unreasonable search and seizures shall not be violated. It's violated all the time. We've talked about this many times.
Starting point is 00:55:26 How many people have been driving down the street and they had money in their car and they were going to go buy another car and they were going to buy it in cash? and they're stopped. Their cash is taken. No due process. I think you're a drug lord. Wait, what? No warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.
Starting point is 00:55:47 This is a general warrant. This is why this is in here in Article 4. No warrants shall be, no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause. General warrants used to be, you know, there's something going on with that guy. go find out. And they could search for anything. Anywhere. No, no general warrants. You have to know and tell the judge, I'm going in for this document or this particular item, and I believe it's here. Great. So the judge will say, you can go there in their house and look for it. But no general warrants. You can't go in and just try to find.
Starting point is 00:56:36 something. No person shall be held to answer for capital otherwise infamous crime unless the presentment or indictment of a grand jury accepting cases arriving in the land or naval forces or in the militia when in actual service in time of war or public danger. No shall any person nor shall any person be subject to the same offense twice to be put in jeopardy of life or limb nor shall he be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. Those are being violated, but in particular with this new center where they can take,
Starting point is 00:57:29 come into your house and take your guns without due process. clear violation of the Bill of Rights. Clear. So you got three of them now that have been broken just for this one law. Don't tell me you love democracy. Don't tell me you love freedom. Don't tell me you're trying to save the Republican. You love the Constitution.
Starting point is 00:57:53 If you're violating this many, and we're only halfway through, you're in direct violation of the Bill of Rights. Article 6, in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. Has that happened with those who are still waiting for trial for January 6? How is it they have to wait so long, but Donald Trump has to be done by this summer? Why is that? Are all men create equal? Are we looking at the people of January 6th?
Starting point is 00:58:30 with the same blind justice eyes as Donald Trump? No, of course we're not. Violation of the Constitution. By an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. In partial jury. If you can't get an impartial jury, what do you do? You can't get an impartial jury.
Starting point is 00:58:57 You ask for a change of venue. where you can get an impartial jury. You don't have an impartial jury pool in Washington, D.C. You don't. And to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
Starting point is 00:59:26 In this new center that they announced, You don't get the due process. You don't get to face the witness. You don't know the cause of accusation. You have nothing on your side. More in just a second. Stand by. First, let me tell you about the tunnel to towers. This is a great charity that 95 cents of every dollar goes right to the cause, which is an exceptional number. More first responders have died since 9-11 from related illnesses than actually died. on that day 23 years ago. Did you know that? There are only two states in the entire country, which were required also to teach kindergarten through 12th grade kids about the darkest day in our modern history. They don't know. That's why kids are on TikTok now going, you know, I don't know. I think Osama bin Laden was pretty good. And I don't know if it would actually help to teach 9-11 in today's classrooms because they'll probably be teaching the other side. Tunnel to Towers 9-9-11 Institute. is doing something about it. They're providing
Starting point is 01:00:34 non-fiction resources to teachers that help educate kids on the truth. These are full curriculum units with scripted social studies lessons, activities, background information for the teachers. There are first-person accounts that are told through videos
Starting point is 01:00:50 and the Discovering Heroes book series. They have a Speakers Bureau for classrooms, a mobile exhibit with tours at 9-11 artifacts. And then there's the Russell F. Stiller Memorial Scholarship. which are for the children of program recipients. Never forgetting about 9-11 means providing the education for future generations,
Starting point is 01:01:10 and it requires funding from people like you and me. Donate $11 a month, if you will, to Tunnel to T-2T.org. That's T-the-number-2t.org. 10 seconds, station ID. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. The center is to confiscate. guns from people who, you know, might have problems, might have mental illness.
Starting point is 01:01:47 It's all going to come really down to the partnership, the public-private partnership of the trusted, trusted folks that you and I didn't elect at John Hopkins University and John Hopkins Hospital, because they know better. They know better than we do. So let me go to David in Tennessee. Hello, David. How you doing? All this going on right now makes me feel like a profit because
Starting point is 01:02:12 I told people years ago when what they did to me is going to come around and they're going to do it to everybody. What happened to you? All right. I'm going to try to make it a short story. Please make it very short. All right. Back in around 2011, I was 500 pounds. The doctor, you know, said I was having a problem breathing.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Doctor says, well, how bad was it? I said, well, that's the closest I ever felt like committing suicide. And he asked me, well, how would you do it? And that activated a smart alec gene in me that started rattling off 101 ways to kill yourself. So he put me up for evaluation. I went into the evaluation. The judge said, turned me loose. Nothing wrong with you.
Starting point is 01:03:04 He said, you know, you're fine. And they say, and I've got medical records. That's open. I'd probably put it out for everybody. Anyway, then I'll go to buy a gun, and the state is mental defective because I had an evaluation. I gave them all the court documents and stuff, said, look, the judge says right here, nothing wrong with you. You're turned loose, but because they have this new thing going now, don't feel comfortable with it. Judge says, we have you listed as a mental defective, and there's no way.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Yeah. So David, I don't know about your personal situation at all, but you are right for anybody who has said this stuff is coming. It is now not coming. It is here. And I worry about the people, especially our soldiers, who have had any PTSD. If you signed a document with PTSD, I think you're going to be first on the list. Anybody who has had problems with depression or suicide, there's. They're going to be deemed a danger to themselves or society. You watch. You were a profit on this one. It is coming.

Do you remember the good old days when you used to think that if you were fiscally responsible, you kept your nose to the grindstone, you worked hard, your finances would be great. Remember the first time you realized that external forces like the choices our own government makes could put that American dream of yours in peril with things like inflation and soaring interest rates?
Starting point is 01:05:10 Oh, how about interest? How about the soaring rates of insurance? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Joe Biden. They never are going to allow you to keep. what you already have unless you can find the ways to beat this system.

Starting point is 01:06:19 Board chair and commercial airline head. He's going to be replaced because of the 737 Max crisis. What crisis? What crisis? So they're falling out of the sky? I mean, okay, but they do everything. everything else right. I mean, what is your problem people? And the federal government in the FAA, which I think falls under the Secretary of Transportation, is also thinking about not granting
Starting point is 01:06:52 new routes to United Airlines. They're thinking about it. They're thinking about it. They're not going to say, hey, you guys are grounded because there's a lot of things falling off of your airplanes and they seem to be mainly you guys. And I know your CEO is wearing a skirt. And oh, I'm kind of distracted. What were we talking about? Oh yeah. Well, we'll think about. We'll think about no more new routes for you. Are you out of your mind? This is a real safety issue. And these are the games that we're playing. Meanwhile, I have more for you at the top of the hour on what's happening in Russia. It was not a good weekend, not a good weekend. And tomorrow, I'm going to be talking about your insurance for your house. Hey, have you noticed something about
Starting point is 01:07:44 that bill? Yeah, it's kind of gone up. Almost to the point to where like 80% increase is kind of near the neighborhood of like, I can't afford insurance anymore. But don't worry, it's a conspiracy theory that you will own nothing and you'll be happy you'll be happy i mean how could they possibly get everybody to sell their house anyway we were talking about the new center that was open over the weekend this is the red flag center public private partnership with the federal government the department of justice and what they're going to do is they're going to train public-private partnerships all across the country to know all about red flag laws so they can take the guns out of the dangerous people. I mean, we already have this. We already have this. But if
Starting point is 01:08:38 anybody reports that you might be a danger, well, God help you. Because they're going to have to come in and take your gun. And there's no due process. But, you know, this is a big problem. We've got to deal with it. Kevin in Texas. Hello, Kevin. Hello. Kevin. Okay, you can't listen to the radio. Let's go to the next one. Please don't listen to the radio because you'll be on delay. Steve in California.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Good day. Back in October, November, I did stick a pistol to my head. First, it was the six-shooter. Then in November, I stick it. So after that, I had to go get help. And I went to the VA. And I talked to the VA about. it and I was very upfront truthful with them and then that Sunday I went to church
Starting point is 01:09:35 and I got on my knees and begged for help because I wanted out of that church because I've not been in church for 40 years and so what happened Steve well when I was a delay I'm sorry when I was in that church Glenn I wanted out of there so bad so bad I wanted to get out because this is not where I belonged This is not where I belong. And when Mass was over, I went to the front, and I got on my knees and begged for mercy. And I can just feel the pressure being released from these demons. These demons were losing.
Starting point is 01:10:18 And since November, I've talked to the VA and told them, yes, I had these thoughts. And they quickly, what they do, they red flagged your record. They red flagged you. and now I hear over the weekend, you know the Department of Justice is going to go to the VA and look for veterans. My advice to veterans, watch what you say to the VA. If you've got to probably go to your church. Steve from California, thank you for calling. This is what's happening here.
Starting point is 01:10:54 This is going to stop people who need help or need medication or need just to talk to somebody. it's going to scare them off. They're not going to do it because if there's a record of it, then they can have their guns taken. And, you know, I know that doesn't sound like a big thing to some people, but that is a big thing. As somebody who enjoys shooting, enjoys it as a sport, that's one thing.
Starting point is 01:11:23 But also as somebody who, I mean, I hear these rookies on TV all the time saying, Oh, hey, my family, I feel I got a phone call said, you know, you're, well, I'm going to, you're going to be in trouble because I've got a jump rope and I'm going to trip you. You're like, really, really. You see the threats and the, my children growing up in a house with a monitor on the refrigerator and in the kitchen where they were every day going through, if you see this person, tell one of the security people. If you see this person, make sure you run the other. direction. So don't tell me about, you know, death threats. I get them all the time. And I am, I will protect myself. And I will protect my family. And this is a way for people to take away my right to a gun if, if they can find something that I've done wrong, or they can find one of my
Starting point is 01:12:27 kids in the house who, you know, was depressed and wanted to kill themselves. Well, is it safe? Yes, all my guns are locked up, but they're going to do this and this will prevent people from going to get help. Again, the medical people. And what a surprise. It's coming from Johns Hopkins University. The first German progressive university and hospital in the country. That's all a progressive nightmare. What a surprise, they're the ones doing it. Because I seem to remember them being the ones also that were saying, you've got to take the COVID vaccine. Otherwise, you're a danger to society. And what did that do? You know, we wouldn't have a problem with vaccines. At least the vast majority of people would not have a problem with vaccines if you weren't forcing people to take it
Starting point is 01:13:27 when it was absolutely untested. Now you made such a big deal of six feet distance, lock your kids up in the house, don't let them go outside. Wear a mask, wear a mask, wear a mask. You've got to take the vaccine or you're a danger to society. Nobody's listening to the medical community anymore. And whose fault is that? Yours. Yours.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Americans especially push back on authoritarianism. We inherently don't trust people when they say, oh, no, trust me, you have to do this. No, I don't have to. But you've pushed this. And now you're going to hurt yourself even more. If you use any medical file, you'll destroy the medical industry, which is, you know, again, a win-win for those who are trying to destroy America. destroy the credibility of your medical workers, you'll destroy it.
Starting point is 01:14:33 And if doctors and nurses don't stand up and say, hey, this is private and confidential. No, I'm not turning anybody in. This is why we've always trusted people in America. We've always been so open-minded and trustworthy. People come from over in Europe and they say, man, Americans are just so open and honest. and they'll just invite you to their house and whatever.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Yeah, you know why? We've never had our state or our neighbors turn each other in. We've never had a state that said, hey, you know, something's going on. You should check your neighbor's mailbox. I'm sorry. We only had it for a couple of years. And then it was immediately stopped. And that was under Woodrow Wilson.
Starting point is 01:15:25 He had 600,000 people working for his administration. They were called minute men, three minute men, because they could give a impromptu speech in three minute. And he had them spy on their neighbors. Listen on the party lines back in the days. Go through their mail. It's illegal. Didn't matter. They were turning people in.
Starting point is 01:15:58 I think he's against the war. You can't go down this road and come back unscathed. You can't. It just has to be stopped. Let's go to Rob in New York. Hello, Rob. Hello, Rob. Let me go to Chris in South Dakota.
Starting point is 01:16:20 Oh, there you are, Rob. Hi. Hey, how are you doing? Listen, it's not just the doctors that are going on with this. The dentist asked the question. My doctors are asking the questions. I'm on Social Security. They ask the questions.
Starting point is 01:16:34 If you apply for food stamps, they ask the questions. Everywhere you're turning, all these agencies are asking the same questions. And I'm going to tell my sister, play big boy rules. Nope, I'm fine. The sky is blue and the unicorns are running wild. Play big boy questions. questions. Big more rules. Thank you very much for your call, Rob, from New York. Lourdes in Florida. Hello, Lourdes.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Yes, hi. A pleasure talking to you, Glenn. Thank you. I am a political refugee from Cuba from the 60s that came to this country, which my mother used to call the last bastion of democracy. And now I am being subjected to a modern Marxist. takeover in my opinion. Everything that we're going through in this country, I have been through. As a six-year-old, they knocked on our door in Cuba, and there was militia, three men with rifles, and they asked me to get my dad.
Starting point is 01:17:47 When my dad came to the door, they said, your weapons have been confiscated by the Cuban government. My father was a hunter. He used to love to hunt. So he had a long skinny closet full of rifles and what have you. And they were all taken away from him. Then they came to our school, militia men, and they destroyed the chapel. They kicked the holy chalice down the stairs and into the streets.
Starting point is 01:18:21 we were left without a school because Castro had determined that Cuba was an atheist state. The kids were sent to El Campo, to the camps to work and being indoctrinated into communism. And this is how my father lost his parental rights. My parents lost the parental rights. in this modern era, in my opinion, it's being done through the transgender situation. I think that if we comply with that, they will take away our parental rights. Please, America. We need to take the children.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Thank you very much for your phone call. every time I talk to somebody who is from the Eastern Bloc or from a communist country or a dictatorship, they all say exactly what she did. Please wake up. I know you think it can't happen here, but it is happening here. Back in just a minute. All right, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. I'm trying to keep focused on Christ.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I'm trying to stay focused on doing, following, my Lord and Savior try to do the things that I think he would find of of merit. And I hope we're all doing this because the only thing that will save us now is doing the right thing. And, you know, you don't have to pick aside really on, you know, the Israel thing. You don't have to be all for, you know, yes, you know, the Israel is always right. Well, sometimes they're probably wrong. will tell you this, standing against the evil that is being perpetrated on them, I think is really, really important. Right now, there are all kinds of things going on in Israel, and they
Starting point is 01:20:29 need our help. When you put things back together, they're broken. All the pieces, you know, not all of them are physical things. The Israeli Kibbitt's fire chief saved people from fires as his job, who nevertheless could not save his daughter and son-in-law from the one-day Hamas attacked. What do you say to the families of the elderly or the children who were murdered indiscriminately on that day? What do you say to the elderly that had a home and no longer can return to it? And they're just out. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground in Israel, and they've been helping people long, long before October 7th, helping in every way they can.
Starting point is 01:21:15 I love this organization. Israel is in desperate need right now, and that's why I've gladly partnered with the IFCJ today. Every donation is urgently needed. To give this life-saving organization support, just go to supportifcj.org. That's supportifcj.org. It's all one word. Your gift is going to be matched because of a generous donor. It'll double the impact and help provide twice the support.
Starting point is 01:21:44 That's support iFCJ.org. Support.ifcj.org. Call in and let it out. This is the Glenn Beck. So, I don't know if anybody noticed, but the doomsday clock is like 10 seconds before midnight, it feels like. Putin has vowed revenge for the bloodbath, Moscow attack and points to Ukraine and said, This was done by Ukraine. You know, the terrorists were captured.
Starting point is 01:22:44 We have, you know, ISIS claiming responsibility. But Putin is telling his people that, yeah, but we were the ones behind them pushing. And can you honestly say we weren't that group of people pushing? I don't know. I don't think I can honestly say that because I don't know what my country is doing. anymore. But we are close to some really bad things. Terrorist strikes and possibly war. Next. The Glenn Beck program. Well, happy Monday to you. A few things happen this weekend that are kind of of note. One, Russia, they're blaming us and Ukraine for a horrific terrorist attack. God
Starting point is 01:24:29 help us if we were involved, but I don't think we were. But does that matter? We're going to look at the war situation this hour. Also, more on the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center that the Department of Justice announced over the weekend. You know, surprisingly, right after they pass that $1.2 trillion budget, it's weird. It's almost like they didn't want that to slow anything down. And we also have Andy McCarthy on. We're going to start with him because today's the day that New York can start to seize Donald Trump's assets. Can they? What can't they do? How long does this process take? What should happen? The guy that I know has many of those answers is Andy McCarthy. Andy was a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. So he knows how the game is played up there and knows where the bodies are buried and most importantly knows the law.
Starting point is 01:25:33 We'll talk to him beginning in 60 seconds. Stand by. Listen, you don't have to prepare yourself for anything. It's a free country. Well, I mean, it is for now. But if you're like me and you're looking at the economic tea leaves, it doesn't look like the country is going to get better real soon. It's going to get a lot worse before they get better. And that's assuming that they do get better.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Nobody knows what the future holds for sure. But if you're smart, you prepare for the worst. I want you to think about a hedge against insanity. You have money maybe in your 401k or your IRA. What is that money going to be worth? Can you take some of that money and move it into gold or silver? I really want you to get the wealth protection guide. It's a free guide, and I want you to do your homework yourself.
Starting point is 01:26:26 Call right now, 800-957 gold. Find out of gold or silver is right for you. what the world always returns to at the end of insanity. 800-957 gold. It is Lear Capital. 800-957 gold. From the National Review, Senior Fellow at National Review Institute, contributing editor and author of The Ball of Collusion,
Starting point is 01:26:58 the plot to rig an election and destroy a presidency. He served as assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. His name is Andy McCarthy. Andy, how are you? Glenn, I'm doing great. How are you? Very good. Seems like we've been doing this for a long time, Andy.
Starting point is 01:27:14 My gosh. So now we're dealing with a couple of things that I never thought we'd have to deal with. And that is all hands on deck, everything we can do to destroy a candidate or a president, they're doing. and today they can take the the assets away from Donald Trump, at least that's what they're going to try to do. Are they going to seize the assets of Donald Trump? No, I don't think they're close to doing that yet, Glenn. Today is the day that Leticia James, who's the attorney general in New York, that she would start the process of trying to seize assets in connection with this preposterous 454,000,
Starting point is 01:28:03 million judgment, I should say $454 million in counting because the interest is accruing at $112,000 a day. Oh my gosh. So Andy, didn't she file something over the weekend about his Westchester golf course? Yeah, well, she is taking preparatory steps, Glenn, that you would have to take if you were about to try to attach people's property in pursuance of a judgment. But I don't think she's going to jump yet because they went to the Trump people went to the appellate division, which is in New York, the New York court system, the nomenclature is ridiculous. But the appellate division is like the federal court equivalent of the circuit courts. It's like the intermediate of no bond at all rather than the usual practice, which is supposed to bond for the full amount of the judgment, become the appellate division.
Starting point is 01:29:20 So I think it would be to try to do anything before the court has acted. Does he have a shot at a fair hearing at the appellate court? So, you know, at the beginning of the civil trial knocked out of a lot of a number of things that Judge Engaron wanted to do to Trump, including taking away his business certificates and seizing things that weren't even or that weren't even in the case. So they gave him a pretty fair hearing at the beginning, even though they did. didn't so far give him the stay he's asking for, or rarely, penalties that included putting Trump out of business in New York and denying him the ability to work with financial institutions to get loans.
Starting point is 01:30:23 So I think he's going to get a fair, this is a low bar, but I think he's going to get a fair hearing from the appellate division than he got from Engron. If this actually goes through, how is New York going to survive just the business? business people who say, I don't want to be on the wrong side of New York State. You know, they couldn't change the rules or work it any way they want. I got to get my money out of here. Yeah, I couldn't agree with that more.
Starting point is 01:30:54 And when I've made that point, Glenn, what people push back on is this kind of thing, which even by itself, if you just took it at face value, is disturbing, which is that this is like that Trump is suey generous, that this is only law for Trump and it doesn't apply to anything else. Now, first of all, that would be, if that's true, that in and of itself is a scandalous measure of not only what's happened to the law or what's happened to the culture. But I think the thing with the left, in my experience, is once they achieved something that was, you know, theretofore, not done before, then nothing is really generous anymore. And if they could, do it to Trump. You know, Trump's not the only enemy that the left has. They don't like fossil fuel
Starting point is 01:31:43 companies. They don't like gun companies. You know, they don't like, they don't like companies in general, right? So once they do it to him and they've set the precedent, the thought that this won't be applied to anyone else is crazy. And that's why I think every big dollar business in New York is asking itself, do we really need to be in New York? That is so going to hurt New York. And I just don't, I don't, I don't, I can't figure out their end game. I, I really, you know, when you look at their endgame, anything sane is off the table. I mean, I just don't know how this one ends. Yeah, I think New York is kind of a microcosm of what's happened to the Democratic Party in general.
Starting point is 01:32:28 Like, I don't think most rank and file Democrats across the country, like ordinary people who identify as Democrats. I don't think they're on board with a lot of the stuff that Biden has done and a lot of the woke stuff. But I think the people who are on board with that are the most flush with money, the loudest, the most obnoxious, and the ones that the decision makers fear. So what's happened in New York is, like, for example, Tish James, in a very kind of Soviet-style campaign, actually said, elect me. I will use the power of my office to go after Trump. Right. She won in a landslide. In the 1990s, when I was a young lawyer in New York, if a person wanted to get elected to a state legal position and campaign like that, that would be disqualifying.
Starting point is 01:33:22 But today, she wins in a landslide. So I think that says a lot more about what's happened to New York than what's happened to the law. So tell me your thoughts on the new DOJ's arm, the National Extreme War. Resk Protection Order Resource Center. This is terrifying. And how did they get it all on a door? That's what I want to know. I know.
Starting point is 01:33:47 Well, they're calling it in the spookiest thing, weren't the Russians when they were doing spy operations? Wasn't it called the center that gave all the instructions? Oh, you may be right about that. I don't know that history. And that's what they're calling this. They're calling it the center. Yeah, well, you know, look, at the Justice Department, speaking of microcosms, you know, the Justice Department is like the microcosm of the Biden administration in the sense that,
Starting point is 01:34:21 you know, it's run by this elderly, seemingly well-meaning guy in Merrick Garland, who was kind of advertised as the moderate who was going to keep the crazies at bay. Right, right. But he's a weak, he's a weak person, and the crazies have been running. the Justice Department since he took over. And they have some really radical people. Glenn, this is like our constant conversation for 20 years, right? But they have really radical people running the Justice Department in very high-ranking
Starting point is 01:34:54 positions in the Civil Rights Division and in anything that they have to do on the national security side. So, you know, and right now Congress is very dysfunctional. And that's worth noting because we've been. seen time and again that the courts are simply not the FISA court of monitoring stuff that the Justice Department brings them. So if Congress doesn't do a good job of oversight, then you've got the lunatics running the place. Yeah, there is no oversight. Andy, do you see any of this changing internally? Do you hear from FBI agents or people at the DOJ or anybody starting to say, okay,
Starting point is 01:35:37 okay this just I got to stand up here pretty soon. No, I don't, you know, I was kind of hopeful when we had those whistleblowers come forward in the Biden investigation that maybe we would shake some loose in the FBI as well, but it really hasn't happened. And I think, you know, a lot of people are getting out. A lot of people are just trying to keep their head down and hope that like a new regime comes in in November. and some of these guys are washed out.
Starting point is 01:36:09 But, you know, it just seems to me that, you know, most of the Biden Justice Department is just the Obama Justice Department, four years down the road. So these people are just more senior and more powerful and more network. And I think unless Congress comes in and completely restructures the FBI and actually starts slashing their budget so that they can't, the only language they understand is slashing. their budget. And no one, you know, I think, I think when Trump started, you know, Trump who
Starting point is 01:36:43 wasn't crazy about the FBI, right? I think when he started their budget was something like in the low 30 billions. And I read something recently that it's now over 40 billion. So it just gets bigger. You know, everybody complains about them, but they just give them more resources to do more of this stuff. Yeah. Andy, thank you so much for filling us in and giving us some perspective on Donald Trump. Just a guess as a human being, if they start taking away his stuff, I think that helps him at the polls.
Starting point is 01:37:16 I do. I think it's, yeah, I've always thought that, you know, if you're talking about accusations and what's in a complaint, what's in an indictment and all that stuff, I think a lot of that washes over people
Starting point is 01:37:28 and becomes kind of abstract. But when you start to like actually take his stuff, that's going to hit people in a different way than just like the thrum of conversation about, well, he overvalued this and, you know, they got a favorable interest rate on. This is like when she shows up with a chain and puts a lock on Trump Tower, that's, that's a thing now. That's like that's going to hit people in a much different way. I would have thought that, though, of what's her name down in Georgia when she perjured herself. So, I mean, she won.
Starting point is 01:38:03 wanted to answer those questions and answer them with lies. And she didn't seem to pay any penalty and nobody seems to care. I don't know how we trust, you know, an AG when or a prosecutor when they can lie to two different courts and get away with it. Yeah, but, you know, the legal system's kind of a lagging indicator that way. I mean, I hear people say what you just said, I've always heard said about Hillary Clinton. Like she never gets held accountable. Nothing ever happens. And my reaction to that is always, do you remember the Hillary Clinton presidency?
Starting point is 01:38:39 There wasn't one, right? And it's because I think the public, you know, where the public is on this stuff is very different from what you see from like the elites who run the, you know, the legal profession. I actually think hands on it may actually boot her off the case. A legal matter. If I was running Trump's defendanture I would make is I would make sure there was a limo at Fannie's house every day to make sure she gets to work. Because I think she's the best thing he's got going for it in that case.
Starting point is 01:39:22 I do too. I do too. I do too. Andy, thank you so much, man. Talk to you later. Our sponsor this half hour is Rough Green. Cheryl wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, I was actually skeptical that this would have any effect on my dogs, but the difference is unbelievable. I ordered this when my 11-year-old dog had to have surgery and wasn't doing well. Within a week's time, she was playing like a puppy. I'm totally amazed how much better both my dog's digestion has been. Thank you so much. Rough Greens.
Starting point is 01:39:54 Boy, I had a dog who, well, I'm just going to tell you, had a farting problem like there was, like, I mean, it was bad. It was bad. We, one day, we caught ourselves, because we used to like to play cards with some friends. We caught ourselves all wearing bandanas around our face,
Starting point is 01:40:14 like we were robbers, because the dog farts were so bad. And at one point, we all looked up over the cars and saw each other. We're like, good God, we're just, I mean, this is just horrible. This dog, what do we have to feed him to make this stop? We couldn't make them stop. I didn't have Rough Greens back in the day. It's not a dog food.
Starting point is 01:40:34 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog's going to love it. They have a special deal.

Starting point is 01:40:51 833 GLEANN-33. It's roughgreens.com slash back. 10 seconds, station ID. So before we get into the end of the world in World War III, I thought I'd ask, Stu, how was your weekend? Ah. It's an interesting intro to that particular question. But yes, it was okay.
Starting point is 01:41:20 It was fine. It was fine. I was a little bit despondent about the ultimate collapse. of civilizations across the globe and a fiery nuclear cloud. But other than that, really, it was great. I don't, you know, I don't know, Stu. Going through this for the next 10 to 15 years, or just being at ground zero and vaporized in half a second,
Starting point is 01:41:45 are we making the right choice by saying, hey, we should, we should not be rooting for nuclear war. Are we? It's kind of the sweet meteor of death approach that we really is you know I don't know I'm rooting for the meteor
Starting point is 01:41:59 right you know yeah I mean in that I would feel better about that than a nuclear war because that would be Putin's judgment or Biden's
Starting point is 01:42:06 the meteor would be God just like throwing a softball at us just like catch you guys had a good run you idiots you know it should have lasted longer but it didn't
Starting point is 01:42:16 and let's just all call it a day yeah take the elf thought it was thought it was gonna turn out differently but nope nope I mean, I think about that.
Starting point is 01:42:25 Really, like, you watch this thing happen in his terrible terrorist attack, which, by the way, like, I have my problems with Russia and Vladimir Putin, but they're definitely, I like them better than ISIS. There's, I wish we, honestly, I wish I saw the UAE lit the Caliph Tower in the colors of, of Russia. I wish the Empire State Building would have done the same. And I'm against Russia. I don't like Putin. But the people are different. Yeah, I'm with the people of Russia, just not the bad ones, but we can't lose sight that it's our governments that are doing these things. Yeah, these are governments. It's not the people.
Starting point is 01:43:06 Innocent victims killed by seemingly Islamic extremists, at least what we know of the matter right now. It seems to be that was what happened. If you kind of look back at you, when we had a similar situation occur on our shores, you know, most of the world lined up and was straight with us. us on our side. Not to mention it's more important for us to be outwardly sympathetic to the Russian people right now, considering the fact that if Vladimir Putin comes out tomorrow and makes a speech and says something to the effect of, well, yeah, this was definitely Ukraine and Russia and the United States working together. We're at war. Like, we're all the sudden our civilization is at risk. All it takes is a couple of sentences from Vladimir Putin right now to start World War III. That's how close we are.
Starting point is 01:43:51 You know, it's weird. I was thinking about saying to the audience, we should post Russian flags on, you know, our Twitter feed or whatever. And post it. Just as a show of solidarity, you stood with us at 9-11. We stand with you on your 9-11. And then I thought, no, because the government would use that against all of the people in this audience. They would, you know, we go to nuclear war.
Starting point is 01:44:19 They're like, we better round up all these. people that are for Russia. Did you or did you not have a Russian flag on your Twitter feed? You Elon Musk, lover. Wait, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:44:35 No, it's because the boob on the radio said maybe we should Well, he's already confessed and he fingered you. All right, more in just a minute. That you're sick, twisted freak. Relief factor sleep. Do you had a good night sleep last night?
Starting point is 01:45:04 If you want a good night sleep, may I suggest relief factor sleep? They have put something in a bottle that will help you fall asleep and is not going to whack you out in the morning. It's not going to, you're not going to feel it all day. You don't even feel it in your system when you take it. You just relax enough to fall asleep. It's relief factor sleep. It's 100% drug-free. You get the good sleep that you really need
Starting point is 01:45:36 without feeling like you got hit by a truck the next morning. I know from experience it works, relieffactor.com. Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800 the number four relief. It's just like regular relief factory that you take for pain. This is all 100% natural, 800 the number four relief. Or go to relieffactor.com. Dream big and sleep tight.
Starting point is 01:46:02 Now is the time to subscribe to Blaze TV. We just need to use BlazTV.com slash Glenn and the promo code Glenn. You'll save 20 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have some breaking news. It looks like the judge, the panel of judges, has actually done Donald Trump a little bit of a favor here. I would say it's a favor. I don't know if it's the right way of stating it, but a massive decrease in the amount of money he needed to come up with.
Starting point is 01:46:48 If you remember, it was $464 million. He claimed he could not come up with that amount for a bond, went to court, tried to overturn that, and they have reduced it significantly to $175 million. So over a 60% reduction in that number. Now, of course, 175 million to my taste is still excessive and ridiculous for what's gone on here. Completely excessive and ridiculous. Nothing ever like this.
Starting point is 01:47:13 No. And as we've noted many, many times. I did a whole show on this on Studeau's America, where you go through the ways this rule has been used historically. And there are no parallels at all to what has happened with Donald Trump. It is quite clearly and quite obviously a political persecution, whether you like Trump or not. And so, but this is a big difference because he can probably come up with $175 million instead of the 464. So a huge deal, a massive victory for Donald Trump in this case. And I'm curious to see because Letitia James has gone.
Starting point is 01:47:47 on through the ritual of posting over and over again the amount owed by Donald Trump, like bragging about it because it keeps going up, as Andy McCarthy mentioned, was $100 and some odd thousand dollars a day. And she just keeps mentioning, I wonder if she'll continue that process now that it's gone down by over 60%. We will see because she's been bragging about this for, you know, weeks and weeks and now takes a massive hit. And I think a blatantly obvious one, right?
Starting point is 01:48:14 Like I think anyone who looks at this fairly can tell this was, this was ridiculous from the beginning and now a big slap in the face for this original ruling. I'm wondering if he could come up with the 171. I would think so. He claimed one filing to have $400 million in cash. Now, he had to come up with a bond for the E. Jean Carroll thing, which was 90-something million, which would suck some of that out, whether he could do it probably all himself. However, when you have that sort of money, you can also, when you have that sort of cash laying around, you can usually get someone to loan you that with the cash is collateral very easily.
Starting point is 01:48:57 So regardless of the process he goes through, you'd think he'd be able to get this. Again, and like, you know, if you can find a bank. Yeah, although, you know, this, I'm of the view. And I've mentioned this before. This is just my own speculation is that Donald Trump could have come up with a 464 million. dollars. He correctly argues that that is completely unfair. And I think, you know, given time, he could come up with that sort of money, but why not play this out? Why not push this as far as you can? It's going to take a long time until they actually start seizing property, as Andy laid out
Starting point is 01:49:33 a little bit earlier. And, you know, why not use that time to the best of your ability to fight this off? Because I think he's very likely to win. I think he's very likely to win in an appeal or at least have this reduced to, you know, maybe a dollar fine or $10,000 fine or something that would be somewhat aligned with reality. I think eventually he probably wins this. So the longer he can play this out without having to give up resources, the better. You know, the one thing that is good from all of this, and I try to look at the bright side on everything as much as I can, and I can usually never find it because that bright side has
Starting point is 01:50:09 been stuffed out long ago in my life. Anyway. Wow. The bright side on this in some ways is I don't think people really understood what it was like back in the Jim Crow days. I don't think white people really understood what it was like where there's not a chance you're getting a fair trial. Not a chance. And kids don't trust the police. We don't understand that.
Starting point is 01:50:41 And now this injustice is being served on so many Americans from the FBI to the Justice Department to the court system in Donald Trump's case. And it does give you a view on how important justice is the kind of justice that many of us have taken for granted our whole lives. You know, that's all right. The courts will figure it out. And yeah, how many times have we said lately that the courts are the only? thing standing between us and chaos. They've been the probably the shining, you know, light when it comes to justice lately, as we've seen in the Supreme Court multiple times, to think of where this is going and how close we are to that, you know, that precipice is really,
Starting point is 01:51:30 I mean, we really are on the precipice of disaster when it comes to this. I just, I am glad to see, though, that at least there's something, like even, even in these cases, even with someone who, like Donald Trump, who they're obviously trying to take out. The system does have a way of coming through at the end. And I think, you know, might be, they might go all need to go all the way to the Supreme Court, but it does seem to play out the right way a lot of times. And I don't know. Maybe the system holds together.
Starting point is 01:52:00 It doesn't feel like it's going to a lot. But it has so far. Speaking about not being able to hold together, that would be the GOP Congress. Republican Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, he announced last. Last month, he's not going to seek re-election. He's now announced that he plans to leave office next month. What a dirtbag. What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:52:21 What are you doing? You're leaving, and he's not just leaving next month. He has scheduled his last day in Congress to be a week after the deadline to be replaced. So he's just vacating the seat. They can't replace him after a certain. date before an election. They just vacate the seat. So he's taking, not only is he leaving, which good, don't let the door hit you where
Starting point is 01:52:56 the good Lord split you, unless it, I mean, unless it just knocks you down to the floor. I'm not going to miss Mike Gallagher. But why are all these guys on the Republicans, on the Republican side, just jumping ship here in the last few months. You can't wait until the election? Really? You can't do that. You're just going to reduce the margin for us.
Starting point is 01:53:26 By the way, he's also going to Palantir, which might explain his vote for not impeaching Majorca, seeing that Palantir has such huge business with the Department of Homeland Security. Maybe that's that played a rolling, because he had to have known he was, going to palenteer at that time. It's possible.
Starting point is 01:53:49 You know, and I think, look, you want to leave Congress? I have no problem with people leaving Congress. You know, you just think that if you have a concern for the country and you're worried about, and I assume he is worried about what the Democrats could do with unfettered power, they are very, very close to getting it. I mean, who knows what happens? I mean, you're telling me the Republicans can't screw this one up. They're really good at screwing things up.
Starting point is 01:54:14 And you could see Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House this year. It's a real possibility right now. Why is it, Stu? You saw the, you know, you see, you still see Nancy Pelosi all over television, asking her all kinds of stuff. How come you never see Hakeem Jeffries
Starting point is 01:54:32 on TV? Why is he not more famous? I think because the media doesn't like black people, Glenn. That's the only thing I can come up with. They keep putting white representatives. It was a worse thing that came out to my mind, too, was their hatred of black people and people who are different than them. Yeah. But it's interesting, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:54:50 We don't, you don't ever see this guy anywhere. And if he took the reins, which could easily happen, could easily happen, he takes the reins and let's just say the Republicans win the House and the Senate. Don't cross. Keep your fingers crossed on that one. Even if they won, if he was in charge for. the last three, four, five months of Congress. Can you imagine the damage they could do? Massive damage.
Starting point is 01:55:24 Massive damage. Massive. And it really could happen, especially with things that, you know, even if you, you know, some people obviously like the Ukraine spending, but that's a great example. And Gallagher obviously heavily in favor of it. If they are able to just pull a couple of votes over to get this thing to the House floor, and it could definitely get through the Senate. I don't if there's any question about that, even with a,
Starting point is 01:55:45 potential filibuster. So, you know, this does help that case. And you wonder if, you know, you wonder if that's part of his calculus here, you know, look, if you care about protecting against a, a democratic rule with no real way to stop anything that they pass, I mean, this is not the time to leave. I'm sorry if it inconveniences you for a few months, but like stay until the election. If you care about the country enough to say, hey, look, the southern border is out of control. The last thing you want to do is is give the possibility of full control of the house over to the people who are fine with them being open the borders. I mean, what are you doing? I think this is really dishonorable. I'd love to hear him comment on it. We should invite him on
Starting point is 01:56:33 the show. I doubt he'll come, but I find it very dishonorable. And maybe it's because I don't know something that he knows. You know, maybe his wife has cancer or whatever and okay. But why are you leaving the week after? They can replace you the week before you leave. They can replace you. Why did you just pick out of the hat the next week? Did you just implement a Kate Middleton disclaimer into your analysis here?
Starting point is 01:57:04 Is this the new thing? You can't make fun of anybody. You can't say anything about anything. anybody because you might not know that they or someone around them have cancer. You're not allowed to make jokes anymore because you might find out after the fact that the person has cancer and therefore that makes you a retroactive bad person. No, I'm not, no, I'm not hedging my, my bet. I don't want to judge somebody without knowing he might have some really good reason. I don't know what it is. and but if it's just because he wants to go to work for Palantir,
Starting point is 01:57:40 what the hell are you doing, man? I mean, it's not a good time for that. No. No loyalty. I'm not fired up on that because of you and your, I think, appropriate disclaimer there, right? When you don't know all the facts, it's good to say, hey, like maybe there's something I don't know
Starting point is 01:57:54 to acknowledge that maybe you don't have all of the facts and, you know, I think that's a smart thing to do. I was kind of just ranting on that, on the Kate Middleton thing, not because I care really about, you know, anything about the Royals, but it's like the, everyone is in this weird state
Starting point is 01:58:09 where they're saying, like, I can't believe these bad people who made jokes about Kate Middleton and now they found out that she has cancer and now they should feel terrible about them. Actually, like,
Starting point is 01:58:18 I don't think that's the right way to look at it at all. You're totally free to make fun of public figures. If you later find out that she has cancer and that's the reason why, you feel really bad about that because you care about another human being.
Starting point is 01:58:31 But that doesn't mean you, You were the worst person in the world. You didn't know she had cancer. So the joke isn't applied to the cancer lover. Hang on now. How do you feel? Let me play a little Kate Middleton here. Okay.
Starting point is 01:58:43 In January, I underwent major dogmael surgery in London. And at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative of chemotherapy, and I'm now in the early stages of bad treatment. This, of course, came as a huge shock. And William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately
Starting point is 01:59:15 for the sake of our young family. And we'd just like to say that everyone who made a joke of me, you should all burn in hell. You're just bad, bad people. I think she was talking to used to. Our sponsor, this half hour is a burner launcher. When are you going to come over and get your butt beaten again, Stu? I mean, we can go target practice any time. You know, Glenn, when we had that competition, I had cancer.
Starting point is 01:59:47 You did? Wow. Yes. Now I can see. Well, at least that's a legitimate excuse for losing to me. Anyway, burn a launcher. A burn a launcher is not a replacement for your gun, but something maybe you, use, you know, when you don't want to use deadly force. Let's say Stu's coming over your house.
Starting point is 02:00:08 Do you see him on the sidewalk and he's kind of scoping your house out? And he's like, is this the right address? You can open up your front door and hit him from 60 feet away with tear gas. It'll put him down. I mean, you'll laugh until you'll cry. He'll just cry and won't be able to move for about 40 minutes. Oh, what fun you can have with the burn a launcher in Stu. You can also use it, you know, for situations where you're in jeopardy. And it also makes a great game. because you can shoot them in your backyard and they don't make any sound. And, you know,
Starting point is 02:00:39 as Stu and I have done, you know, we've done a little contest. And I don't want to say who smoked who, but I smoked stew. Anyway, Berna, proudly American manufactured in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It's legal in all 50 states.

Starting point is 02:02:11 our intelligence community I think is good the importance of
Starting point is 02:02:15 words you know the spy agencies need diversity the Equity and Inclusion newsletter that highlights the fun of cross-dressing. So, you know, you're a secret agent, but another thing you like to keep secret,
Starting point is 02:02:34 but maybe you want to come out a little bit is cross-dressing. And they're saying it's fun. It's fun. In fact, the newsletter said, I think my experience is someone who cross-dresses have sharpened the skills that I use as an intelligence officer, particularly critical thinking and perspective taking. So maybe, maybe if you want to be really, really good in spy operations, maybe you should cross-stress, you know?
Starting point is 02:03:03 So another great thing that's happening here in America. Do you, Greiglin, is it fun? Do you enjoy it? Or what, is it a fun activity? I know it's an expression of your identity, but is it a fun activity for you? In other news, Boeing 737 Max is back on the Chinese domestic route. It has been grounded now for four years. Well, but Boeing doesn't have anything to worry about.
Starting point is 02:03:31 They've just put some numbers together. And it looks like Boeing really is really not doing well. China Southern taken delivery of 34 jets, 16 on order. but they're also they're buying a lot of air buses quite a bit quite a bit 206 on order now
Starting point is 02:03:56 you know in 737 there's only 52 orders you know I'll break up.
