We have a lot to talk about today.
The Nix.
The drought's broken, but there's no reason to burn the city down.
I got a lot to say.
Specifically to the Nix.
Not the fans.
The Nix.
The management and the players.
Also, Elon becomes the world's first trillionaire, but...
Oh, man.
Elizabeth Warren is upset.
So is Plattner.
So is Plattner.
There's a lot to learn.
Nobody more deserving than Elon Musk.
And I'll explain why.
also Tulsi and the DNI, the FISA, bio labs, all of that exposed.
I put it into perspective all on today's podcast.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor is preborn.
Deep inside a mom's womb, if you listen carefully, there is a voice.
It's not a voice that speaks words.
It's something that says something nonetheless.
It's a heartbeat saying, I'm alive, I'm alive.
This is life.
This is life.
This is life.
A culture that has spent a very long time plugging its ears.
so it doesn't have time to hear that voice,
but it's important to hear it.
Expecting moms, especially the desperate,
often choose to silence that voice.
And people like Planned Parenthood,
they do not want you to hear that.
They are dead set against ultrasounds.
Why?
Because when somebody walks into a pre-born clinic
and they're thinking about an abortion,
they get the ultrasound, they hear it,
and that changes the majority of women.
All of a sudden, they're like,
wait a minute, that's life.
and she chooses life. They don't stop there either. They help moms who need it for a full two years after the child is born.
So if you're a business owner, would you consider a larger donation to claim a write-off? A donation of $1,000, 10,000 or 15,000 actually sponsors a full ultrasound machine for a needy clinic.
But $28 buys that ultrasound. It's all tax deductible. Keyword baby at pound 250. Keyword baby pound 250.
Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lot.
the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
But to keep this fight going, we need you.
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through
big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement.
And you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up.
Help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
I can't wait to show you just a couple of minutes.
The difference.
There, something is happening.
And it's really good and exciting.
And I'll show you.
you. And we saw it this weekend. We saw it this weekend. Let me give you this.
Last night, the sports event with the UFC, if you saw any of it, it was spectacular.
It really was so well done, so uplifting. I mean, except for the fighting until you're a bloody,
you know, a bloody stump. You know, the imagery and the lessons and the music and everything was about America.
and it just made you feel good.
Okay?
Compare that to
how you felt after the Knicks.
My mom used to say,
she had this line and she would always say it.
Whenever us kids,
if we would start roughhousing at all,
you know, you knock over a lamp
and you crack something that wasn't yours to crack,
and she'd stop and she'd put her hands on her hips,
and she would say the same six words.
I bet your mom said the same thing.
What did she say?
kids, this is why we don't have nice things.
I'm like, well, if they're not nice, you don't, you shouldn't write.
Don't say that to my mom.
You get beat for that.
But I heard her voice this weekend.
I heard it clear.
This, and I meant it just like my mom,
this is why we can't have nice things.
Because in New York City, a basketball team wins its first championship in 53 years,
53 years of waiting, of loyalty, of fathers taking their sons to the garden.
And what does, what do the, quote, fans do with that joy?
Well, somebody was shot.
They set a school bus on fire.
You know, people tried to hitch a ride on a moving fire truck.
They kicked out windows of police cars, climbed statues.
Around two in the morning, somebody opened fire in Times Square, seven shots.
Crossroads of the world.
17-year-old girl hits the ground.
That was the celebration.
And that was Saturday.
This thing started earlier.
A Spurs fan, grown man,
40 miles from home in spirit,
1,500 from home, in fact,
walking back to his hotel after game three.
Mob surrounds him.
They beat him.
They tear off his jersey off his back like a trophy.
after game four, 10 police officers were hurt.
One of them taken, you know, taking a glass bottle to the face.
Teenager ends up in the hospital.
Somebody thought it would be a clever idea to throw eggs at the other team's players at their own hotel.
This isn't passion.
Passion built the garden.
Passion fills the seats.
This is something else entirely.
This, you know what this is?
This is a society that has forgotten how.
to be a civil society.
No regard for anything or anyone.
Okay.
This is why we can't have nice things.
And I'm telling you, when we lose this,
when we lose the simple ancient understanding
that the stranger in the other jersey
is still a human being walking home to his family,
we're not fans anymore.
You're not even a citizen anymore.
You know what you are?
You're an animal.
You're an animal.
And that's what I saw on the story.
streets of New York, animals.
And the most chilling part is how fast it happens, how thin the floor turned out to be.
Because everything is tribal now.
Absolutely everything.
Your team, your party, your flag, your side.
And the other guy, he's not a rival, he's prey.
Did he call them animals?
Yes, I did.
I don't care what color anybody is.
Don't care.
Don't care.
anybody who is doing that, you're an animal.
Tell me how else do I describe somebody who just does not see another human being
and they are so excited that they just want to beat somebody with a chair and a five guys?
You know, and I want to ask a question, you know,
that nobody in a position of influence seems willing to ask out loud.
if the so-called influencers and the leaders and the famous faces won't step forward and
condemn this in the harshest possible terms, who will?
Because here's the easy step.
You think I know nothing about the way.
Here's the layup.
I think the Knicks, the coaches, and the players, especially the players.
The players that the kids worship, they all should have walked.
out the first time this happened.
They should have walked out together and said,
if this is how you celebrate, we don't want you as fans.
You are not our fans.
You shame our team.
You shame our city.
You shame this game.
You know, a few players muttered something respectful into a press
conference microphone and good for them.
But a soundbite is not a stand.
A stand is the team coming out shoulder to shoulder,
looking the camera and telling the mob, not in our name.
That's what, you know, and the Knicks can still do it.
It's got to be done today.
But they should say, you did any of this.
You are not a fan.
You are not worthy of wearing a Knicks jersey.
Because that's not who we are.
We'll have nothing to do with any of this.
And you know what?
we want everyone prosecuted to the utmost.
You were involved in this, you should go to jail.
And if the teams won't do it, then the city should.
Let me ask you this.
How much money has New York paid or any other city?
How much have you paid for those stupid franchises to be in your city?
And what do they say?
It brings money into the city.
Well, really? Does it?
I mean, you built the stadium with public money.
You pay the police to clean up after the riot.
You pay for the burned out bus, the broken windows, the hospital bills.
Why is the taxpayer on the hook for this?
I think the city should start finding the franchises.
If the franchise won't stand up against this stuff, then the city should start finding them.
Your fans, and they'll all say, these aren't our fans.
Well, they're doing it in your name.
so what are you doing to make sure you say you're not a fan of ours what are you doing to say not in our name
don't do it you know let the people who profit from the passion pay for the carnage that the passion
is now producing the people who beat that guy who threw the bottle who fired the shots find
them prosecute them put them in prison if that's what the facts warrant then that's you know
you put somebody else in a hospital bed,
I think you should charge it like attempted murder.
That wasn't a crime of passion.
You're just an animal.
That's it.
It's not a riot.
It's a crime against another human being.
And I don't really count you as another human being.
Here's the warning, and I want you to really hear it.
A free society cannot survive
if it requires a police state to hold it together.
That's the whole game.
That's it. That's it.
you cannot have a free society if every time your team wins,
you go out and try to kill people.
You decide I'm going to tear the whole city down.
I'm going to set things on fire.
I'm going to shoot people.
I'm going to go into a five guys and I'm going to steal the food
and then I'm going to beat the people behind the counter with a chair.
You can't have a free society.
Liberty depends on you governing yourself.
you can have a bottle.
You didn't even have the worst thing inside of you, say,
oh, I got a bottle in my hand.
I should throw it at that guy because I'm celebrating.
And then the human part of you should say,
hey, dummy, don't do that.
What are you doing?
And not because a cop is watching,
but because that guy knows better.
The moment you have a society where they just don't know any better,
that the people on the street just don't know,
and I don't buy that at all.
Here's what they know.
Nobody's going to do anything about it.
I can get away with this over and over and over again.
We taught everybody at BLM.
Ah, you can march.
Oh, that's not marching.
That's burning cities down.
What Martin Luther King did was march.
What BLM did was burn cities down.
What the Knicks fans did is not celebrating.
That's burning cities down.
The days of burning our cities down to the ground,
they've got to come to an end.
Enough is enough.
And if the decent people, the leaders,
the athletes,
the ones who make millions of dollars
because people go to see them,
if they don't get on those megaphones
and end it now,
you know what,
then I guarantee you
some authoritarian with a badge
and a boot will end it all for all of us.
And maybe there's a few people that want that,
but the vast majority of Americans don't.
You know, if you act like an animal, I guess you need to be kept in a cage.
You know, I keep coming back to the people who changed the world.
It was king.
It was Gandhi.
It was a carpenter from Nazareth.
Every one of them faced violence, real violence.
Far worse than a lost basketball game or even less understandable, a win.
And every one of them refused to pick up a chair.
They refused to become the thing that they were fighting.
This isn't even that they're fighting.
They're not even fighting.
The Knicks won.
They're not fighting.
They're not sad.
This is they're happy.
I'd hate to see them pissed off.
The refusal to act like an animal
is what built every nice thing we have.
The mob in Times Square is what tears it down.
So enough.
Enough is enough.
On almost every front,
I think America has had enough.
but this one is easy.
This one's right there.
Athletes, the NBA,
stand up. Do it today.
Do it today, you cowards.
Say it clearly. Say it now.
Mean it.
We will not be celebrated this way.
Do that much.
Just the basics.
I know you're busy lecturing us about all kinds of other things.
Love. You've got to lecture us about love all the time.
Why don't you just take a day and stand up and say, hey, we'd like to have nice things.
And we can't have nice things, kids, if you behave this way.
So don't behave this way.
Or you'll become my father.
You don't want me to stop this car.
Do I need to stop this car?
You don't want me to stop this car.
That's what the NBA should say.
Today, the players should be out front.
Will they? No. No. No.
Because the NBA can't police their own.
Father's Day is coming up. It's right around the corner.
And every year we all go through exactly the same exercise.
We try to find a gift for dad, even though most dads spend their whole lives, you know, insisting they don't need anything.
The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones.
They're the things that a man reaches for time in 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.

This weekend, Elizabeth Warren stood out in front of the camera.
I told you that a man becoming wealthy should be a wake-up call. Okay.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.
Pretty cool.
Pretty cool.
On Friday, SpaceX went public.
Stock price, wealthiest man on Earth,
crossed a line.
No human being in history has ever crossed.
It's a huge responsibility, huge responsibility.
And, you know, fame and fortune generally are battery acid to the soul.
But, you know, let's see what happens.
here. So the senator from Massachusetts
and also Platner comes out. She posts
the video says the typical American family will have to work 11 million years to
match his fortune. Okay, impossible. So she called it a feature
of a rigged economy. How is it that it's rigged? Well, it doesn't matter how
she got there. The point is, we need a wealth tax. Okay.
So let me do something that Washington never does.
let's actually think.
Because I'm going to tell you something,
and I want you to stay with me,
because where I'm going is not where you think I'm going.
There is a problem here.
There really is.
Elizabeth Warren is right that there is a problem.
Okay?
So she's half right, maybe.
She has a wrong half.
You know, she's missing the only half that matters.
But let me start the story, okay,
where it actually starts.
rewind back to 2002.
A guy makes some money on the internet.
He decides he's going to build rockets,
not buy a rocket company, build rockets.
Compete with Boeing,
compete with Lockheed, okay?
Compete with governments like Russia, China, the EU,
the established launch industry,
an industry that for 50 years
had exactly one direction of,
travel, and that was up and to the right on cost.
Every rocket, more expensive than the last.
NASA didn't even, when he asked him, well, what's your budget?
They said, what do you mean?
What's our budget?
Well, what is your budget?
We just want it to work.
Yeah, but there's got to be some budget.
They didn't even know how to put a budget together, okay?
and what the industry had given the world was
every rocket would be thrown away after one use.
It was like
tearing up a 747 after a single flight to London
and then it's Kleenex and you throw it away.
He was asked more than once,
what are your odds?
I mean, you don't, this is not what you do.
How are you going to do this?
And he didn't lie to himself or anybody else,
else. He said he figured he had maybe a 10% chance. 90% chance he would lose everything and go back to
being broke. He said, I expect to fail. And he nearly did. First, I think I said two earlier,
but I think it's three. The first three launches blew up. Okay. The fourth launch was the last
dime he had. If it failed, he was over. Guess what? It didn't fail.
then watch what that one stubborn man did to an entire industry that the smartest,
the actual rocket scientists say could never be changed.
He builds the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to reach orbit.
Now, you're not going to space.
I'm not going to space.
You might think, well, I don't care.
Oh, you do.
This guy has changed the world.
first private company to dock a spacecraft with the international space station.
That's something only national governments had ever done.
And then when Boeing tries to do it,
their rocket gets them into space and then they can't get back.
Guess who rescues?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, then the big one.
The big one was the one that everyone said was impossible.
He landed a rocket booster back on its legs.
Remember the first time you ever saw that?
The rocket coming back down, controlled, and then landing on a landing pad?
Why is he doing that?
So you're not taking a 747 and throwing it away after a flight to London.
It could fly again and again and again and again.
Do you know how much money that is saved?
You know how much money that is saved?
Every time somebody has to put up a communication satellite up into space that requires a rocket.
Go ahead.
Pay for that 747.
You're going to pay for it when you're paying your phone bill or whatever it is that,
you know, whatever company put that satellite up into space,
or are you going to pay for it with your taxes?
Okay, I'd like it a little cheaper.
He took the single most expensive part of going to space
and turned it into something you reuse like a plane.
Launch costs, they didn't go down.
They collapsed.
He didn't trim the industry.
He completely reset the industry.
when American astronauts needed a ride to space,
you know what we used to have to do?
We used to have to buy seats from the Russians.
Pay Moscow, hat in hand,
to get our own people up into space.
He ended that.
An American company, American rockets, American crews.
He gave this back to the country almost single-handedly.
Now that's space.
Okay, that's space.
Let's come back to Earth here for a second.
He also changed the world, and then he gave it away,
and a completely other way.
Everyone, everyone said a mass market electric car
was a fantasy.
It was a toy for rich people in California.
The legacy automakers had 100 years of engineering,
billions in capital armies of lobbyists,
and they all agreed couldn't be done at scale,
shouldn't be tried.
And every time they tried,
they made a crap car.
Remember what Chevy came up with?
It burst into flames.
He did it.
And in doing it,
he dragged the entire global auto industry
behind him, kicking and screaming.
They did everything they could
to put this guy out of business.
They say this was impossible to do.
Every electric vehicle on the road today
from every manufacturer on earth
exists in the world.
He forced open.
and then he did something that should stop Elizabeth Warren from bitching all the time
because it's the opposite she said that every billionaire is.
In 2014, he starts Tesla and he's inventing all of this new technology.
And what does he do?
He's like, yeah, I'm not going to patent it.
Wait a minute, what?
You wait, hold it, what?
That's how you make money.
He pledged the company would not sue anyone who used its technology in good faith.
He gave all of his technology to his competitors.
The patents are crown jewels.
Every corporate lawyer on the planet tells you to lock in a vault and defend till death.
He just opens them up and gives them away.
By the way, just so you know, Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola still has their recipe of soda pop locked in their vault.
He took a car.
All brand new technology is like, yeah, whatever, doing it.
whatever you want with it. Just do it in good faith. Wow. Do you see any pharmaceutical companies doing
that? You see Mr. Pfizer doing that? He did it for the good of the whole industry because he believed
in something, for the good of mankind to speed the world toward a goal he believed in more than he
believed in squeezing the last dollar out of a monopoly. A greedy man doesn't give away his patents.
A greedy man doesn't do that. Remember that.
And like it or not, and I know some do not, he is the reason that voices, that powerful governments and corporations all around the world wanted to silence are still being heard.
You know when he put up a satellite network? Do you know how he changed the world? You think he doesn't affect you?
Suddenly people in war zones and dictatorships and dead zones and people who live out in the middle of nowhere here in America.
have a connection to the world
that no regime could pull the plug on.
Every time there's a problem
and thugs and dictators start to march in,
what does he do?
He sends his technology in for free.
Then he also brought a, you know,
bought the town square that had quietly become a place
where the wrong opinions disappeared,
the wrong people were locked out.
He reopens the doors.
Now you can argue about how he did it,
but you can't argue about which direction he pushed.
He pushed towards more speech, not less,
towards louder, not quieter.
In an age where the instinct of every government
and every corporation is to manage what you're allowed to say,
one man said,
I think you should be able to say whatever you want.
I mean, if that isn't the whole idea of America,
I don't know what is.
this is the combination of Edison and Tesla for our generation.
The inventor who builds the thing,
the visionary who sees the current
that will power the next century,
both in one man.
I don't think we're ever going to see another one like this.
In our lifetimes, we won't.
Now, let me tell you about a guy that Elizabeth Warren
will never tell you about it.
It happened this weekend.
It's just the headline, just the headline she won't even mention.
Okay, Elizabeth, SpaceX goes public on Friday.
Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire.
But he's not the only one who got rich on Friday morning.
Thousands of SpaceX employees became millionaires in a single morning.
Thousands.
People you'll never hear of, never meet, never will never know their name.
let me just tell you about one of them.
I don't know his name.
He's a welder.
20 years ago, he had a good union job, steady, safe.
Strange company with a strange weirdo founder
and a 10% chance of survival offered him less money.
Come and weld these rocket parts for me.
It's going to be less money.
You're going to work hard, really long hours.
And I'll give you stock.
Paper options, okay?
A piece of a company that the smartest people in the world
said was literally going to blow up, literally blow up.
His wife thought he was crazy. His father-in-law definitely thought he was crazy.
Take the safe job. What are you doing? Betting on a man's dream. This guy is crazy.
He decided to do it. He'd work for less. He'd work for stock. He worked nights. He missed dinners.
He welded the seams on rockets that exploded on the launch pad. And then he'd show up the
next morning and he'd weld the next one. And he prayed that together they were going to build
something amazing. Well, on Friday morning, he woke up a millionaire. That's capitalism.
That is exactly how it is supposed to work. The man who risks and the man who risks everything
gets a big payday. He pulls others up with him who also risk, who bet on him when the betting
was insane and when it pays off, it pays them too. The reward was enormous because the risk was
enormous. These people in Washington have never risk anything in their entire life. This guy was willing
to risk everything over and over and over and over again. You don't fix that. You don't tax that
into oblivion. You celebrate that. You get on your knees and you thank God you live in a country
where a welder can become a millionaire because he believed in something before it was safe to believe in it.
and here's where it goes wrong.
So what is the problem?
I told you she had it half right,
because there is a problem,
but it's not the trillion dollars.
It's never been the trillion dollars.
It's where capitalism goes wrong.
And listen carefully,
because this is the whole thing.
It goes wrong the moment the rich and the powerful
stop competing in the market
and start competing in Washington.
It goes wrong.
The moment a corporation realizes
it's easier to buy a senator
like Elizabeth Warren than it is to be,
beat a rival. It goes wrong when the people who run an industry start writing the laws that govern
their own industry because the senators like Elizabeth Warren are too damn stupid to write a law on their
own. So they go to the experts and say, hey, regulate your own industry. That's the corruption. It's
the wealth. It's the fusion. It's the handshake between the boardroom and the capital.
When the money buys the rules, the rules stop protecting you and start protecting them.
And if you think this is new, have you ever read about the railroad?
In 1800s, railroads were the SpaceX of their day.
Great machines reshaped the entire continent.
They competed brutally, vicious price wars.
The biggest railroads kept losing control of everything.
They tried to fix prices privately and failed.
So one of the railroad guys gets a better idea.
Wait a minute. If we can't win the market, why don't we buy the referee?
So in 1887, Washington creates the interstate commerce commission,
and they're going to regulate all the railroads on behalf of the public.
Sounds great. People demanded oversight, and they got it.
Except a few years later, the U.S. Attorney General, a man named Richard Olney,
who had come right out of the railroad industry,
wrote a private letter to a railroad executive
who wanted the new commission abolished.
And he said, don't be foolish.
What are you doing?
Keep the commission.
Because the commission satisfies the public demand
for somebody to watch the railroads.
While it leaves, in practice,
it leaves the railroads largely alone.
And over time, the commission will become a shield for the industry.
Okay?
It will protect you from the competition
and from the public's anger.
Excuse me, what did he just say?
Yeah, that's the problem with capitalism.
The problem is not the dreamer, is not the trillion dollars.
The problem is the referees.
The referees, they're on the take,
and they partner.
The minute that Elon Musk says,
you know what, I want to put my people,
my competitors out of business,
as long as he's still willing to honestly compete,
capitalism works fine,
and we should be grateful for it.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
You know, I can't wait to see go home is John Cornyn.
I just, that guy can't get,
that guy can't be gone fast enough.
He and Mitch McConnell, they just go away, go away.
And that's not a comment on Mitch McConnell's health.
You know, sorry to hear about his health.
he's been sick for a very long time
but you know I can't wait for their terms
and them to be replaced
John Cornyn
came out with a tweet
this weekend to Mike Lee
Mike I'm a co-sponsor of your Save America Act
and repeatedly voted for this
but you just don't have the votes
and John Thune can't change that
you know it's math
try focusing on Democrats instead of the Republicans
Republican on a Republican attacks
are hurting our chance
to win the majority in November.
Yeah, like you have a clue on how to win, John Cornyn.
This guy is going to, this guy has it out, and he is going to do everything he can to stop the save America.
Mark my words.
He is, he and Mitch McConnell are going to do, they're going to do everything they can as their last hurrah to make sure that thing doesn't pass.
And Donald Trump came out over the weekend in a true social post.
Thank God.
he said the renewal of Section 02 of the Save America Act.
He said, I'm against FISA.
If it doesn't come with the Save America Act, the full version firmly attached to it.
So he's telling them, and I'm so glad he is calling their bluff, because it is a bluff.
It is a bluff.
Bill Pulte, he is the interim act.
acting director of national intelligence now.
Not forever.
And he's not some radical overhaul overnight.
You know what I mean?
He's just a guy who has been with Trump for a while,
trusted set of eyes for a few months,
while we get the new guy in to replace Tulsi Gabbard.
And what happens?
The establishment voices, the Democrats,
some of them Republicans, Intel lifers.
They threatened to let FISA, Section 702, die.
you tell me these are the guys who pull for every war
they pull for every every spy thing that they can possibly
get their hands on they they pull for the they are the ones
that have said hands off section on 702
they're the ones it's vital for national security they won't even
let you talk about it won't they don't want it even open up
nothing just pass it pass it pass it pass it pass it
and now they're saying if this guy gets in is the acting director of d n i
He's so dangerous at this time that we will tell Donald Trump he can't have.
Really?
You're not going to let Donald Trump have Section 07-02.
Really?
You guys.
You guys.
Well, no.
No.
No, we can't.
Bill is just too dangerous for the American people.
Really?
So you say Section 02, FISA, is so important.
And we're dealing with threats from China
and Iran and the cartels across the border.
Really, you'd stab your own mother to death
for a clean renewal in normal times.
But an outsider comes out,
suddenly it's a crisis.
Ditch that.
We won't pass that.
We won't give that to you, Trump.
Yes, you will.
Yes, you will.
You will.
Okay.
Now, I want to be fair,
qualifications matter.
Experience and intelligence is serious business,
but he's interim.
he's interim.
Well, he's too weak.
Is he?
Is he?
Because I think your reaction shows to me that you're in a panic.
I don't know what you're panicked about, but you're panicking.
You're willing to give something up that literally, I think you really would stab your mother to death for Section 702.
I don't know why.
But now, all of a sudden, what are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
Exposure?
You're afraid to this.
guy is going to come in and expose something.
You remember the church committee in the
1970s? After Watergate,
it revealed that the FBI
and CIA were spying on
civil rights leaders, Martin Luther King,
anti-war voices, even
sitting presidents and their opponents,
Congress created FISA
to check our intelligence community.
To restore trust.
But what happened?
The tool meant for protection
becomes the weapon.
okay we've seen it the backdoor searches the political queries the house of cards of selective leaks and protected narratives okay so Tulsi gabard releases uh you know information on this then she leaves and then this guy comes in and they're like yeah we're not gonna do it Trump stand your ground be a badass be the badass we all know you are stand your ground they're bluffing they're bluff what are they so afraid of
What are they so afraid of?
So Tulsi comes out, same people, by the way.
Tulsi comes out, what was it, Friday,
and she releases, she declassifies slides of these documents about U.S. funded bio labs in Ukraine and beyond.
Over 40 labs, hundreds of millions, dangerous pathogens, anthrax, plague, Ebola, okay?
And we've known about these places.
They've been known about broad strokes for years as, quote, threat reduction.
Okay.
But transparency?
No, no, no.
They're just reducing our threat.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
So she exposes these, and they're in Ukraine.
Huh.
And now it's a Russian conspiracy theory that those exist.
Well, can I just ask you?
Just let me just ask you.
Before I get into any of the other parts of this.
Do you think it's a good idea? Does it make common sense to you? If we have anthrax and Ebola sitting in a laboratory in Ukraine that is currently at war with Russia, do you think it's a good idea or should we just go take a flamethrower and burn all of those dangerous pathogens out of those buildings? Should we just destroy all of those pathogens? Why do we have them sitting there in these biolabrowers?
that are in a war zone.
Now look at the loudest people shouting about this, okay?
The ones who are saying, you know, she's just a conspiracy theory with the documents.
They're embedded Ukraine correspondence,
strong advocates to send more money to Ukraine in Congress,
and defense analysts that are tied to the status quo.
The same crowd clutching their pearls,
same people clutching their pearls over the new DNI chief.
They don't like what she did with Ukraine.
And then this new guy, he's got to be stopped too.
I'll get rid of Pfizer.
I'll tell you, I'll do it, I'll do it.
Go jump off that cliff.
Okay.
You've got all of these people that are coming out and just read the story at glenbeck.com.
You'll find all of the names of these people.
But they're all the same.
And you know what?
They're framing this whole thing as Kremlin propaganda,
like Tulsi Gabbard is now working for the Kremlin.
Have you ever noticed when outsiders get close to auditing foreign entanglements,
surveillance powers, risky overseas labs,
the defenses go nuclear.
All of a sudden, all of a sudden, it's got to be stopping.
It's the worst problem ever.
They just go crazy.
To me, it feels like a fear of exposure.
And maybe not all of them, but somewhere, somebody.
Somebody in that web is applying enormous pressure.
Stop this, stop this, stop this.
You know, because real sunlight on how FISA has been used
and bio lab funding, past ops,
threatens the whole machine.
The one that kept us entangled,
spending billions while Americans are struggling at home.
Yeah, I'd like to know how that happened, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Kind of reminds me of, you know, what I learned the hard way in my own life.
If you want to fix yourself, just talking about you, not the country or anything else,
just you.
Radical honesty is required.
When you live in lies, which as an alcoholic, I was absolutely living in absolute lie.
I was lying to myself and everybody else.
I'm not an alcoholic.
I don't have a problem.
What are you talking about?
I'm fine.
Uh-huh.
When you protect the addiction or the cover-up,
you'll burn everything down before admitting the truth.
You will.
I'll tell you what, I'm not going to, I won't pass zero to that section.
It's going to tell you that right now.
Really?
Uh-huh.
those who change, those who heal, are the ones who surrender to the light.
And that's what America needs right now.
Not more secrets.
Not more trust us.
Trump, call their bluff.
Don't blink.
Be the badass.
They're not going to let FISA actually lapse.
And I'd applaud if they did.
They need it too much.
Use this moment.
leverage it for real reform.
Tie it to the Save America Act priorities like you just said you would.
Border security. Spending restraint.
Ending endless foreign adventures without any kind of accountability.
Audit these programs properly.
Pressure for what we need.
Transparency, declassification, where it serves the people.
Reforms that protect Americans first.
It's not zero for some.
This could be a win-win kind of, the hard kind.
They'll get their surveillance tool with real oversight and warrants,
and we get sunlight on the bio-labs, the foreign funding webs,
the surveillance abuses.
The American people win when the powerful or afraid of us knowing the truth,
not the other way around.
And history, I mean, it shows the cycle over and over again.
Church committee, post-Snowden, Russia Gate,
Every time, every time the people demand answers, the machine fights back.
This is the machine.
Courage breaks it.
Being willing to lose breaks it.
Look at the persecuted Christians.
Many times they're the happiest people.
The gates of hell have opened up against them.
You know why they're happy?
They're standing in the truth.
They know what the truth is.
Or the founders that risked everything against tyranny.
Lives, fortune, sacred honor.
some of them lost everything.
They weren't complaining about it
because truth gave them the courage to do it and the hope.
Kind of like, you know, you were born for a time such as this.
That's you.
You can admit it or not, but that's the truth.
You were born for this time.
These problems.
We don't need more idols of power or endless wars.
We need truth.
We need self-reliance.
We need faith.
Faith in God.
Faith in ourselves.
Faith that, you know, we'll get our crap together.
one of these days, we'll get our crap together and we'll stand up and go, you know what,
I'm kind of tired of this stuff.
You know, we'll create a neighborhood that, that prepare, that treat each other right,
a country that rejects living by lies.
One of these days, we're going to get it.
It's going to happen, and it's going to happen.
We're either going to do it the easy way or it's going to happen the hard way.
Believe me, believe me, God wins every time.
When you're living in a lie, it always comes down.
It always comes down.
longer you wait to go, okay, okay, maybe I mean, that's alcoholic, you know, the longer it takes
you to say that, the harder it's going to be to get back up on your feet, but you'll get back
on your feet. I'd just rather do it before it, I mean, I've done it before. It sucks. It sucks.
But the longer we wait, keep investigating, Mr. President, appoint the disruptors. They're
afraid of him. Threaten that you're going to make him permanent. And you call your
representative. Demand they choose America
over the machine. Tell, you know,
send a strong
message to Cornyn. You don't have to go after the
Republicans. They got 50 votes.
You need to talk to Thune.
Hey, Thune, what are you waiting for?
Pass it with 50 votes.
And then feed hope.
It's coming. It's coming. Good stuff is
coming. Reject the fear. This isn't
the end. This is a reckoning. It's going to be
ugly. It's going to be an ugly reckoning.
But you know what? On the other side
Reckoning, Restoration, a healed Republic, happier families, free people. I don't know.
That sounds pretty good. I say they're bluffing, collar bluff.
