Today's podcast really great. Why is no one talking about the fact that oil and gas prices are decreasing? This morning, it was at $80 a barrel. How is that possible if the war is going so horribly? What is happening? Well, everybody is talking about how the president said yesterday, I just love inflation. That's what you probably heard if you'd listen to anybody in the mainstream media.

No, that's not what he said. You have to listen to the whole thing. And it explains in an unduly. unbelievable reveal what the president and the military have been doing about the oil in the strait of Hormuz. It is incredible. You have to listen to that. And I'll tell you why I think he said it yesterday.

Also, defending the vote with guns? Wait, what? Maybe not. I'm going to give you some history on how that has happened before and then give you the solution. Save America Act. We'll give you that. and the arrogance in L.A. and how little they care about the homeless and their birthright to vote. What is actually happening with the left and the vote in L.A. All of that and more.

This is the best of podcast. Feeling young isn't about how many candles are on your birthday cake. It's not whether you can, you know, still fit in the same jeans you wore 20 years ago. It's all about possibility. When you're younger, you don't spend a lot of time thinking about, you know, whether you can do something or not. You just do it. And as you get older, that pain comes along. That changes everything. It's why I'm such a believer in a relief factor. It's 100% drug-free supplement designed to help support a healthy inflammatory response, addressing pain at its source rather than just covering it up. And more than a million people have tried relief factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to order more. The real goal is not to turn back

the clock, you know, but to get back, you know, some of the possibilities. Spend less time wondering whether you can do something, more time just doing it. As America celebrates their 250 years of independence, give yourself a chance to reclaim yours. To commemorate, they're offering a special patriotic price of $17.76. 1776, you can pursue your happiness pain-free. Three-week quick start for 1776. Visit relieffactor.com.

Okay, so this is one of the stories that are bigger than the headlines. If Trump's claim is substantially true, and I don't have any reason to doubt it, then what he revealed yesterday was not. not just a military operation. He revealed the United States has quietly been preventing the largest oil shock in modern history. I'm going to explain what happened here in a second. But remember, before the war, roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day were moving through the Strait of Hormuz. That narrow stretch of water is one of the most important choke points on Earth, and one-fifth of the world's petroleum passes through it.

Easiest way to understand the Strait of Hormuz is this. the world's energy supply is blood flowing through arteries. The straight of Hormuz is the aorta. You can survive a cut on your arm, but you cannot survive a severed aorta. When Iran began attacking shipping and laying mines, the fear was not just that the ships would be damaged. The fear was that the world's energy system would seize up. Gas prices would spike, which they did, but not what they were predicting. fuel would spike. It did, but not what they were expecting. Same with diesel. Food prices, same. Everything delivered by truck would become more expensive. And it did. But they were warning about

absolute, I mean, like a death knell kind of shock. They were warning about $150, $200 a barrel on oil prices. They said it could go over $200 a barrel. This system is not built for anything over $100 a barrel. This system is not built for anything over $100. or really over 130 in sustained oil. Okay. What happened? Well, it never exploded the way they feared. Yet everybody was freaking out, okay, because you are paying more,

and it is hard to pay the price that you're paying at the gas pump and for groceries. Yesterday, Donald Trump said this about inflation. Now, let me play first what you heard on social media and on most media. outlets. This is what he said about inflation. You know what? I will. Are you can serve, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number, which came out this morning? Could that be a... No, I love it. The numbers were right. You know what I really love? I love the inflation.

You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now. Okay. That's what you heard. I love inflation. But you didn't hear the context. You didn't hear the context. What was he going to say? What was he going to say? Play the full context. You can serve, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning. Could that be a... No, I love it. The numbers were right.

You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now. Something you didn't know. You know, we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil. Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it?

Iran until right now. We took out the other night, 22 ships, late at night with no lights, because they don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out, that's why oil's $85 a barrel.

Hmm. Wait a minute. I thought he just loved inflation. No, there's context to this. My gosh. Stop listening to these people. If anyone who played that yesterday and leave that as a content, don't listen to them anymore, anymore.

Everybody makes mistakes, but these are not mistakes. This, what he followed the I love inflation with was massive. Why is oil at $86 a barrel? Because we're taking ships out in the cover of darkness. We have been taking, remember all that, remember all of those ships that they said were just stuck there? with all the, you know, 100 million barrels of oil, and they're just stuck there in the straight armos

and nothing can get them out. Yeah, what they've been doing is they've been taking those oil tankers out, moving the oil on other oil tankers, moving those oil tankers back in the cover of darkness. This is a massive military operation. We have been taking, Jason, what was it, 100 or 200 million barrels? 100 million. 100 million barrels we have taken out of the Strait of Hormuz in the cover of darkness and there was nothing they could do about it.

This is an awesome operation, military operation. Jason, give just a thumbnail sketch of how they did this. It's interesting. For the longest time, there are people that have been analyzing the ships, the very large container ships that are stuck. I'll put that in air quote, stuck, and not able to get out of the Straits of Hormuz. It now appears like they were not really stuck. They were filling up with oil and all the different countries, Iraq and so forth, right there within the area. And they were turning off their transponders, going down towards Amman, transferring that oil over to other ships that were out on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz, and then they were continuing on.

I mean, I don't even know the full ins and outs of the actual military operation, but many people have been speculating that the use of drone ships, other aerial drones as well, were involved in this, that Apache helicopter that went down a few days ago. Some people are speculating that it was also a part of this escort mission. But the fact that it was done without anyone knowing about it, including analysts that look at this day in and day out, is truly remarkable. It's absolutely stunning. So your gas hasn't spiked up. It was at $86 a barrel. Why? Because while everyone was wringing their hands,

and I have to tell you, it has been a hard few weeks. When we keep going back and forth with, are we going to have negotiations, we are on negotiations, we are off negotiations, we got a deal, we don't have a deal.

It's been really difficult. Somebody, I think it was Chicks on the right. I was on their show. a couple of days ago, I think it airs next week. And I said, they asked me, Glenn, what would you tell the president? I said, what would I tell the president? I wouldn't tell the president anything. I don't have any information. I don't have inside information. I don't have the access to the intel that he has. I'm pretty sure he has a plan. I don't know what it is. But I, I don't feel

I was qualified to tell the president without any kind of briefing on what is really going on. and I know he's being briefed by really, really smart people. Here's the thing. We are used to, we're used to the presidents that we've always had before. And what have we had before? Lawyers. They're all fricking lawyers. All of them have been lawyers.

Tell me what lawyers build. Lawyers don't build a damn thing. lawyers tell you what you cannot do, not what you can do. For the very first time in my life, we have a builder. We have a guy who knows how to build, who knows how to solve problems, who can look at something and go, well, okay, we got to get it done, so here's how we do it. A lawyer looks at things and says, well, I see what we have to do, but here's all the problems. We can't do that. We can't do that. We can't do that. We can't do that.

if you've ever worked for a company that's run by lawyers, you know how much they suck. Get used to having a president who has a plan, who is a builder. This is what he announced yesterday. While we're expecting him going, well, gee, I don't know. What are we going to do now? We used all our bombs. I don't know what else.

This is a guy who says there's got to be another way. How do we get that oil out of there? and he assembles a team to figure it out and they do it. I told you early on in this, and I'm telling you now, too, don't count this as the win. But don't count everything as a loss. You don't know. Nobody can tell you what's actually happening.

Nobody knows what's actually happening. Just, gosh, if you have been worried, and look, it's normal to worry about, things like inflation because it's affecting you every day. And you're like, I don't have, I told you last few weeks I've been telling you about everybody is just holding on, just need more time, need more time to need more time. And I said, it starts with you. You're looking at your bills. Every day, you're just like, hold on, hold on, just a little bit longer. Just hold on a little longer. I can make it if something breaks my way. So I understand that fear in your own life.

and I understand the struggle that you're going through, but there's no reason to take extra stress on yourself by worrying about stuff that nobody knows what's actually happening. This is not America First. Well, I don't know. Sure, the hell seems like America First, to me, if you can break the back of Iran and we can keep our oil under $80 a barrel.

I don't know. That seems pretty good. here's the real question. Why did he just say that? Did he say it because they just said, what are you going to do about inflation? Maybe. But we're in negotiations. Why would he tell the world now? Because normally, if something that you're doing covertly is working, you keep your mouth shut. You don't announce your covert successes. You especially don't announce them when you have negotiations happening. So why did he do it? Well, I came up with three different things. I put them up on the chalkboard. Let me give me one minute. I'm going to go to the chalkboard. I'll show you the

three, the three reasons I think he did it, which should actually give you even more hope that, you know, hey, looks like we have a competent person for the first time in the White House. We don't have a freaking lawyer. We actually have somebody who's a builder and can figure things out. So this is a massive deal. This is like, I think, Venezuelan style deal that he announced yesterday. Marijuana took out the leader of Venezuela, and you're like, whoa, what just happened?

This is amazing what he announced yesterday, what our military has been doing. So why would he announce it to the world when it's working? Why not just keep going? Okay. I came up with three reasons, and I have no idea if any of these are true, what's going through his head, I have no idea.

I have no inside information. But just trying to understand Donald Trump and understanding him the way I do, let me give you three options. First one is really simple. It's poker. He's playing poker. Remember, the guy bluffs,

the guy knows how to move. He is a negotiator. So he's sending a message to Iran and a very specific message. And here's the message. We already beat your biggest leverage point, Okay. What is that? It's always been the straight of our moves.

Every president has worried about it. Every oil trader has feared it. Every military planner has studied it. The threat has always been Iran could choke off the global oil supply and oil will be $200 a barrel. Well, Trump just declared that's not going to happen. Fail. If that's the message, then it is aimed directly at the negotiating table. Imagine a poker player.

They're sitting there and they've got, you know, I don't know, three kings. And they're like, we got three kings. And then the other player takes his cards and lays him face up on the table. He's got four aces. And you're looking at your hand and you're like, oh, crap. That changes the negotiation immediately. Trump is shaping expectations before the deal. You've got nowhere to go.

I am not afraid of you. Remember, the one thing that I learned from him that is innate in him, it's this. When he was down on the ground in Butler, Pennsylvania, I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? He said, get to hell up. You want to be the President of the United States? You're not afraid. You're the leader of the free world.

Get the hell up. Show them you're not afraid. We don't cower to people. That was his first reaction. It wouldn't have been mine. but that's who he is. So that's what he's doing. In negotiations, he's like, we're not afraid of you.

I think we're afraid of you? You have no leverage over us. You want and need the other side to be in a staredown contest and let them look away first because they realize, oh God, this guy's not bluffing and we're in worse situation than we think we are. So this statement says, your military is defeated, your economy is collapsing, your biggest weapon against us,

you know, be it nukes, that's gone, or this, that's now gone. These are not random comments. These are negotiating positions, almost like opening arguments delivered publicly. Now, there's two other possibilities. The second possibility is aimed at China. people forget China imports enormous quantities of Middle Eastern oil from the Strait of Hormuz. If America can keep Hormuz functioning while Iran can't stop it, then Trump is reminding Beijing of something American presidents have quietly understood for generations. The U.S. Navy remains the guarantor of global commerce. China can build all the factories you want.

You build all the ports, all the ships, all the cars that go on the ship. you'd build all of it. We control the oceans. That is a message that every major power understands. Third possibility is you. He knows what you're feeling. He knows you are beginning to freak out. And you're like, what are we doing?

What are we doing? What's the plan here? What's the plan? He wants you to understand that you're not just not experiencing a massive energy shock. The price of gas has gone down recently. Have you even heard anybody mention that? No. He wants you to see that. He wants you to think about what you would have seen if oil had hit $200 a barrel. gas stations, inflation, higher grocery bills, higher heating costs, political panic. If the administration believes it prevented that outcome, it wants Americans to know. It also wants you to know

we're close to victory. Now this is pure speculation and hope. We're close to victory. As he said yesterday, once this war is over, it's at $80 a barrel today. Once this is over, what do you think you're going to be paying? What do you think is going to happen to inflation? Father's Day is coming up. It's right around the corner.

And every year we all go through exactly the same exercise. We tried to find a gift for dad, even though most dad spend their whole. lives, you know, insisting, I don't need anything. The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones. They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again over and over. The things have become part of his daily life because they're well made. They're comfortable and they're built to last. That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day.

They make premium hoodies, great t-shirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States. Their cotton is grown here. Their clothes are cut and sewn here. And the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way. The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on and it keeps feeling great years later. Buy American. This Father's Day, it's American dash giant.com slash Glenn.

So I want to play some audio here that we now have From, let me see if I can find it. We now have from the streets. It's cut eight. These are Skid Row homeless that were paid to vote. Listen to us. You live in Skid Row?

Oh, love Skid Row. And then, would they come down here and try and pay you to vote? Yes. On a ballot? Yes. How much they pay you? Five dollars. I said here, come and vote for these candidates.

Yes, sir. I told you who to vote for? Yes. So they told you to vote for Karen Bass or if you're on? Karen Bass. Yeah. For Karen Bass? Yeah.

Yeah. Did you vote? Yeah. Oh, you did for Karen Bass? Yeah. Karen. They told you to vote for Karen? Yeah, they had to sign a little thing.

That's, and how much they pay you? Just like two bucks. Two bucks? Or to sign off on a thing, to vote for her? Yeah. They'd say, oh, do you want to vote for Karen or Nithia? Or are they just really just tell you to vote for Karen, huh? They really just really promote her, man.

They get you an optionable choice, but they tell you who they want to vote for. They tell you who you want to vote for. So like, yo, we'll give you $2 and you got to vote for one of these people. Well, you know, I'm a, I'm a barter, man. So I got four dollars. And you're like, yo, give me four bucks and I'll do it. Yeah, why not? Yeah, so they do this for everybody out here?

Yeah, they come out here. How often do they come down here? Probably like three times a week. Three times a week? Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. Wow. So you know other people too that voted too?

Yeah. Actually, anybody's registered. Doggy dog. Let me tell you story. A group of guys came home from the war. It was spring and summer in 1946. They had left a McMinn County in Tennessee, and they left as boys, and they came back as men.

They had crossed an ocean and walked through hell. They had waited onto the beaches of Normandy. They had taken islands in the Pacific that you could fit in your backyard, one yard of sand at a time. friends in that sand. They were men. About 3,000 of them, 3,000 of them came back to that one little county in the hills of East Tennessee, 1946.

Their little town, they realized, had been quietly stolen while they were gone because some of the bad men stayed. Let me tell you what happened while they were gone. Memphis political boss, his name was Ed Crump. He had reached his hand all away across the state, and back in 1936, he had installed a man named Paul Cantrell as the sheriff in what the folks still call the vote grab. Once they had the sheriff's office, they had everything. They put a fee on the system.

The deputies got paid per arrest, so the deputies had every reason in the world to arrest you. And they would shake down the travelers passing on the highway. They pulled people off of buses. They fined them for drunkenness. they would invent it on the spot. Ten years, they squeezed like $300,000 out of ordinary people that way. This is in the Great Depression. And then every couple of years when an election would come,

the voters would come out. And the vote would always come out with control on the top. And whatever he said, that's how it happened. The decent people in the county weren't stupid and they weren't silent. in 1940 and then again in 42, again in 44, they wrote to the state attorney general and to the FBI, and they begged, begged for an honest election, help us. Nobody came. Nobody lifted a finger.

Come to find out later. It's because the governor was also involved. But now it's 1946. Men are coming home. And they see this. Now they've just dealt with a dictator. They've just dealt with Mussolini, the emperor of Japan, and Hitler.

And they're like, I'm not putting up with this here. So they did something that I want you to notice here. Listen to the whole story because it tells you everything about who they were. They didn't form a Republican ticket. They didn't form a Democratic ticket. They formed a nonpartisan ticket. Three Republicans, two Democrats. They understood it's not a left or right fight.

This is a right, right or wrong fight. For sheriff against Cantrell himself, they put up one of their own. His name was Knox Henry. He was a decorated veteran of the North African campaign. They gave themselves a slogan, five words. And I want you to hear them because men were willing to die. They were willing to die for these five words. Your vote will be counted as cast.

Actually seven. That was it. That was the whole revolution. count the votes the way people actually voted them. Well, they were meeting in secret that spring, never twice in the same place, because they knew they were going to be tracked, and in May they went public.

And the machine answered the way machines always do. It was election day, August 1st. Sheriff Mansfield brought in 200 armed men. He deputized all of them. They were thugs. Some of them hauled out from out of state. state and they all stood at the polls to make sure the wrong people were too scared to vote. And they beat the GIs because the GIs had poll watchers and there was just one or two at each poll

and they beat them bloody. They locked some of them in jail. Then a black farmer named Tom Gillespie, he came out to cast his ballot. Deputy shot him. Good news. Gillespie lived, but that's what voting. look like in McMinn County in that first day of August

in 1946. Votes over. Now the machine has to make its move. The ballot boxes. So the deputies grab the ballot boxes off the table and they run them down to the jail. Bill, big solid brick jail.

They locked the doors because they were going to count the vote. You know, all of the sheriff's deputies because they're the law. They know. everything is on the up and up. They're going to do it in private, in the dark, because, well, that's just the way it is done. We don't need people watching. Don't question us.

Well, one of the GI leaders veteran named Bill White, he watched him do it. He understood exactly what it meant. He's like, kind of with relief. Well, they've shown their hand. So, all we have to do is take the jail. Okay. So they went and got their guns.

Now, they didn't have guns. They went to the National Guard armory. This is when we would keep our guns in armories. And they took down the very weapons. They had just carried across the whole world, the M1, the cold pistols. A couple of them took, you know, Tommy machine guns. They loaded them. Men had fought for three years fighting fascism on two continents. And in their own country, the thing that they crossed. the ocean to kill had just set up shop while they were gone in their town square. One of them said, the principles we fought for in this war do not exist in McMinn County.

And we fought because we believed in them. So they get their guns and they surround the jail in the dark. They took up firing positions on the embankment above it. They call out a demand. bring the ballot boxes out and count them in the open in front of God and everyone. Deputies inside refuse. We don't know who fired first, but somebody fired, and then I cracked white open. For hours it went.

Muzzle flashes in the dark glass and brick chips flying men wounded on both sides. Stubborn brick jail would not give. So one of the guys who had been in the war, and he was a munitions expert, he was in explosives, it was about 2 o'clock in the morning, he was like, we're not going to get through that brick. So he goes back to the armory, he gets dynamite. He lights it.

He throws it up on the jail's front porch. The blast tears open the front of the building. And the deputies, the tough imported gunmen, who had been beating voters all day, surrendered. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Now here's the part that makes this not a war story, but a American story.

Through all of it, the gun battle, the dynamite, the riot afterwards when the deputies flipped their cars and burn them in the streets, all of that night of fury, not one single person was killed. Not a GI, not a deputy, not a voter, not one. When the son came up,

over Athens, Tennessee. The veterans didn't march, you know, on the courthouse and the jail and crowned themselves king of the county. What did they do? Sun's coming up. It's been a night of just terror. The GIs are there. What did they do once the deputy surrendered?

Did they go and announce that they were kings? No, first thing they did was they cleaned all the rifles. and then they carried them back to the armory. They returned them. Then they brought out the ballot boxes and they counted the votes in the open, in the daylight, the way they had promised.

They threw out the boxes the machine had tampered with and the honest ballots that were left told the truth that people have been trying to tell all along. The GI ticket swept every office. Two to one. Knox Henry, he was now the sheriff. Not because he had won the gunfight,

but because the votes said so. They had used the rifle to rescue the ballot, and then they laid the rifle down and bowed to the count. They did that before the count. That's the whole thing. That's the entire American bargain compressed into one night in Tennessee Hill country. The vote is not safe because of the vote.

the box is made of steel, it's safe only because somewhere there are people who still will not let it be stolen and who, you know, when the moment comes, they will step up and save it and hand power back to the count and not keep it for themselves. That's the hard part. That is the genius of George Washington. That is why people did this. I can guarantee you these guys were fans of George Washington. because at the time people knew that that's exactly how he behaved. These men had already saved democracy once. It was an ocean away. In countries, most of them couldn't have found on a map just a few years before.

Now they came home, found out they had to do it one more time, on their own street against their own crooked government. And they did. And they gave their guns back. Almost nobody knows their names now. Nobody remembers. Knox Henry. Bill White, Tom Gillespie, bleeding at the polls so the rest could vote.

I'm telling you this story, so you'll remember them. Because the next time somebody says to you, you know what, this corruption is so out of control, the ballots don't matter. It doesn't matter if I voted. Or you can't defend, you know, and get an honest vote. Or the good men and women won't stand up when it's stolen. You tell them about the night the soldiers came home to Athens, Tennessee. you tell them that their only goal was to have your ballot counted as you cast it.

You tell them that after they fought for it, they laid their guns down, put them back in the armory, and then counted the votes without guns in front of everyone. I don't know. I'm certainly not suggesting you pick up guns in California. I'm certainly not suggesting that. but I am telling you, you do have to take a stand. You do have to stand up and say, enough is enough. Remember, their people had done it. All of their people had done it since the war began.

So for five years from 41 to 46, well, all the good men were gone. And that's the key. All the good men are not gone. They're not gone. We don't have a war where all the good men are gone. that was what happened to that town. All the good men, all the strong men were gone. And so it allowed corruption. All the good men in our day, I don't know, they're in hibernation. But we don't need you to pick up guns. We just need you to wake up. That's what America needs. Everybody in this audience is praying that people in California will wake up. They'll notice. I honestly don't know if we can prove, eruption in California because just like in Tennessee, they have the law. They've passed laws that make it what they're doing legal. And when you say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,

there's so much smoke here. Just count them in the open. Just let's see the entire process. No. No. And the legislature and the governor just signed a bill that says anybody who questions it, is in trouble. Anybody who casts doubt on it. Anybody who, you know, wants to see things out in the open, no, they've just made it, they've just put it deeper into that sheriff's office, put it behind that cement wall that nobody's going to get through. We've been here before. We've solved these problems. Now, what's the modern way of solving them? Not with guns, but I'm telling you, The politicians don't fear the American people because they've taught us over the last 15 years, don't stand up, don't gather, or we'll crush you. You don't need guns. You just need to stand together.

You need to demand that every vote is counted as it was cast and that no one is allowed to pay for votes. There's some laws that need to be changed in California, but the good news is the, the jig is up. We know now exactly what they're doing. You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

All right. We were just talking about the election. And I told you the story of Athens, Tennessee. Ricky, in the break, she comes back and she's like, my heart broke for those people who are on the streets, those indigent people who are on the streets. Because if you look at them, especially that one woman, she's clearly addicted horribly to something.

I don't know what. And she's talking about how, yeah, they come down here three times a week and they ask us to vote for people. They tell us who to vote for and we sign and we vote for whoever they tell us to vote for. And they give us two bucks. Ricky? Yeah, I was just struck by the contrast of you talking about how much they valued their vote and democracy. Athens, Tennessee so many years ago and how little elites in California do when they are willing to throw away the principle behind what we try to do during elections for a couple of bucks

in a pack of cigarettes. I'll just give it to the homeless. It's a quick trade and it's a soulless trade and it's disgusting. And you know what? You know what the difference is I think why that can happen now and it didn't in Athens, Georgia? Because people knew what the country was. They knew the story of the country. They knew the value of liberty. They knew the value of the vote. They knew that we were different because they had World War II. The guys had World War II. They saw what fascism was really like. They saw what was really happening around the rest of the world. And they came back and they were like, you know, the people of Athens, they didn't sell it out. They were trying, but no one would listen to them. The guys come back and like, we're not put, we just took dictators out. We are not going to have them here.

And so they knew the value because they knew the history of the country. They knew what their, their rights actually were and the responsibilities that each individual has. But I contend, you know, it's really sad because these people are, are addicted. They are, I mean, when you you will sell some you will sell your birthright for two dollars you're addicted you have you i mean they're just trying to survive they're trying to get to their next fix or hit or whatever it is you know get a you know get a sandwich or something two dollars when you'll sell your birthright for two dollars that's sad but i contend those same elite organizers could go to rodeo drive and just change the price and americans who are not struggling They don't know what the country actually is.

They're not paying attention. They have no, there are no connection to it. And somebody could come up to them as they're standing in the Ralph Lauren store and say, hey, you like all that stuff? I'll give you $1,000 right now. You just vote for this. And I'll bet you they would have the same reaction the people that are homeless have. So I just told you the story of Athens and they solved it with guns.

You don't have to do that. You just have to stand up. up. Let me give you the solution. Donald Trump just tweeted, no other president has been more committed to rebuilding our great military and saving our great country, and now is the time to make it happen for generations to come. I'm hereby calling on

the Republicans in Congress to immediately capital letters advance and pass the forthcoming $350 billion reconciliation bill, recon three, which at the request of our great Department of War will include the Save America Act as well.

No games, no delays, no weak compromises, do this now. This is generational investment on our military, even bigger than President Reagan's recon 3.0 is the only path to the full $1.5 trillion military budget our warriors need in order to build the arsenal of freedom. We will defend the homeland with the Golden Dome, launch the unstoppable Golden Fleet, dominate the skies with F-47s and B-21, supercharge our ammunition stockpiles, and achieve total space force and drone dominance. This budget, reignites American industry, creates hundreds of thousands of high-paying American jobs, and secures our global dominance without fueling inflation.

Also, with the Save America Act, it will protect our elections for generations to come. Our warriors protect our most sacred rights, and voting is at the top. It is time to defend that right for every American. Pass all $350 billion and the Save America Act to secure the nation for our children and grandchildren. The Save America Act. One, all voters must show voter ID. Two, all voters must show proof of citizenship. Three, no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel.

Four, no women in, no men in women's sports. Five, no transgender mutilization surgery for our children. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. These are all common sense things. We can argue about the military, but I think our military, if we don't, President Trump is going to be the only one that will rebuild our military, and it will rebuild it for generations to come. And I think that is very, very important. Everything is about to change, and we have to be on the cutting edge. We can argue about that one, but not the Save America Act. That's the thing that has to pass. You now have 50 votes. They don't have to, they have 50 votes. Pass it with 50 votes. If they enact the filibuster, that is not constitutional. The way they are using it now, it is not constitutional.

It's not in any law. It is a Senate rule. Our founders were against it. George Washington, Jefferson, both said it is rule by majority, not super majorities. This has to pass. You want to stop what's happening in California. the Save America Act. Now, Jason has been working on this theory,

and I think he's right that this is what's happening in California is a Rosetta Stone. It is letting everyone see exactly what they've been planning and how they're doing it. And they're just putting it out on the table now. They're letting everybody see, and he thinks it's going to be their undoing. I do too. Jason. Yeah, you know, when you think about the Rosetta Stone, we've talked about this all week, but, you know, it was the arrogance of the king of Egypt

that basically allowed researchers to be able to translate Egyptian hieroglyphics. The arrogance, as seen through California, on what happens when you have these ridiculous blue state election laws. I truly believe that

we have reached a tipping point. We have reached that, you know, I am not going to put up with how arrogant you are on this anymore. I was just watching a podcast with Gillian Anderson. No, not Jillian Anderson. Michaels. William Michaels, where she was saying the exact same thing.

She said before, when she heard things about stolen elections, all that stuff in 2020, everyone thought he was crazy. Now she's saying, look, now I'm looking at these election laws in a completely different light. I think that is going to spread. I don't think you could pass a reconciliation with everything he said before pre-California. Post-California, I think you would be an idiot not to support this. So you said you were reading scriptures this morning. Yeah.

Stuck out right in my head. Proverbs 1618, pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. How does that not explain today, Glenn? So I told you, when you told me that this morning, we were praying in our meeting, which we always do. And you brought this up, and the scriptures that you wanted to talk about that. And you said, I think this is their arrogance going to find. fall. I've told this story maybe a couple of times before. And I remember in 2009 or 10 when when everyone was after me. I mean, I, you know, it was funny. I was just talking to,

who was it? I can't remember. But a big name in journalism on our side. And they said, Glenn, you know, they trained on you. You were the first one that they, they, you were the first one that they used everything to see what would work. Cheryl Atkinson wrote a book about it. I'm the first chapter and she was like, he's the guinea pig. And I was surrounded and nobody knew how this was happening. I did. We were doing our research too. It was media matters. It was the Soros Foundation, Tides Foundation, all these NGOs. But nobody had ever seen it. So nobody knew it. So I would say that and people would go, yeah, yeah, right, dude. It's kind of like what you said about stealing the election. Well, now it's all out. Um, and I was praying so hard because it was

really, it was touch and go. I didn't know if we would survive. And, uh, I'm praying and I'm like, Lord, help me. How do I destroy my enemies? Help me. Help me. Help me. And in one of the clearest rebukes I have had, I've had a couple rebukes from him. And they were really clear. Boy, he will. He loves to rebuke me. Um, but. I'm praying and it was so clear and it was almost said it wasn't angry he doesn't seem to be angry ever with me but but he is very clear it's kind of like when your dad would say something you'd be like okay don't mess with dad okay dad whatever you say um the first thing he said was these are not enemies of yours they are enemies of mine and I was like okay okay okay

my arrogance thinking they're my enemies. They're not. They're enemies of his, and he'll deal with them. We're just supposed to do what we're supposed to do. What he was saying to me, I've interpreted it as, Glenn, just do what I ask you to do. Forget about your enemies, because they're not yours. They're mine. I will deal with them in the end. You may be a casualty, but I will deal with them.

I have a plan. Okay. The next thing he said was, and in their arrogance, they shall fail. I have held on to that for 15 years waiting to see. And it is so true, they get more and more arrogant. They pull their mask off. And they're like, yeah, well, we are Marxists. Yeah, well, we do believe in mutilation of your children. Yeah, well, we are just making cheating legal now so you can't do anything about it. They are so, they want to mock you. They want to tell you how superior they are. That's the arrogance. And that is, and so what you read today in scriptures and it struck you, I can testify to you. That's what I heard in my prayers 15 years ago, and I've been watching it happen, and that is how it's going to end. We have to be humble enough to recognize it. We have to be humble enough not to go after vengeance or compromise ourselves.

That's why I hesitated to tell you that story about Athens because it involves people going and getting guns. We do that. We're done. We're done. He has a plan. He has a plan. We're just required to do what we're supposed to do, and that is expose it and stand. So when the president says,

pass the Save America Act, that's what we should be concentrating on. And I know you're tired. No, you think it's not going to happen. But things are changing. Pass the Save America Act. You should be online all day for the next few. Get the Republicans to pass the Save America Act.

Susan Collins just flipped, so they have 50 votes now. And they'll say, well, we don't know if we have, you know, 60. Well, you don't need 60. Take the first step. Pass it with 50. Pass it.
