Starting point is 00:01:39 and a fun Earth Day episode today. Here's the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. This is the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad that you joined us. Sorry, I apologize for my voice, but it's the allergy season here. And it is worse than I've ever seen in my,
Starting point is 00:02:09 life. But, you know, don't worry about it. Hey, I have a gallon of milk in my refrigerator that is last longer than CNN Plus. It was, it was canceled and we found out about it yesterday. And then my wife came in last night and said, hey, you know, the CNN Plus has been canceled. And there was just a little joy that I expressed a little bit of that, a little bit. on Twitter last night. I did notice this and reading your tweets, they seem to be specifically targeted to one CNN employee in particular for some reason. You say,
Starting point is 00:02:49 Hey, Brian Stelter, perhaps you can join me on my successful global media streaming service to discuss your company's $300 million failure. Oh, man, that's the start. Awesome. That's great. P.S., I won't ambush you.
Starting point is 00:03:05 And my statements will be based in fact. So sad for you. Yeah. Well, this comes from the interview that I did, and it's a very popular clip on YouTube of me walking off of the set for Brian because he said, as usual, he really wanted to understand the right. And he really wanted to understand why people were, you know, backing Donald Trump and, you know, just dismissing the media. That's very dangerous. It was very important to him. Very important. And then, of course, changed the topic of the interview halfway through.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Here, can we play it? Yeah. Yeah. One's arguing justice. One's arguing mercy. Or they say they are. But they're not. All they're doing is playing politics.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And the American people are tired of it. Who is talking about an actual solution on this? Who's actually done something? Who's actually consistent and cared when it was a Democrat? in office and cared when it's a Republican in office. You know, those people exist around the country, and they're watching you two, the media and Donald Trump play in this little game back and forth, and they're sick of it. They don't want to hear about it from either side.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I want the critique because I invited you on. I'm self-aware enough to know that we need to talk about this because I know it's a problem. The mainstream media is having a very hard time. The mainstream media is having a very hard time. reaching Trump's base. That's a fact. We see that in all the polls. Yeah, well, then here's the deal. Brian, you all have my phone number. I've reached out to all of you in the past and said, let's have a conversation not on the air. You really want to understand. You want to hear the other side. Why can our viewers? Why can't our viewers right now? Because it's all about ratings, because this is all about ratings. This isn't about ratings. This is about saving our country, bringing us together. Stop, devourable. dividing us. I mean, you, I can't. So to be clear, you think that I'm dividing the country,
Starting point is 00:05:14 you think I'm dividing the country for ratings by booking you? Brian, stop, drive. Look at what, look what you're doing. When did this become about you? This is about the media and the administration. That's what you guys want to make it into. If it was about me, I would do like a 10-minute comic car the way you're used to. Hmm. Oh, oh. It was about me. I get out of blackboard the way you used to. Oh, look at that. That's a good line. Well, they maybe should.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I mean, the point is what I mean is making it about me. I don't see how I've made it about me. I want to know how. It's not about it. You just, never mind. Look, Brian, if you want to have a conversation, the media really wants to know, great, we can have that conversation. But every time someone, every time I've approached, everybody always says yes.
Starting point is 00:06:05 But as soon as it gets tough or uncomfortable, nobody's in. Nobody's interested in looking at themselves and saying, what did I do? I know what I've done. I know what I've done. I've tried to make amends and I'm trying to. And we've talked about that before. I completely agree with you. And we all do need to be more self-reflective.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I do have to ask you, there's this new headline on the Daily Beast saying that your company's in trouble, that you were trying to find a buyer. Is this related to the point about people not talking to each other that if you want to create that media company, there's not interest. What's going on with that? Wow. Wow. Brian, thanks a lot.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I think that's the most ridiculous question I've ever heard. I'm sitting here ready to talk to you about the detaining of children and parents and trying to break families apart, something that has been happening with Janet Reno. That's why it went to the Supreme Court in the first place. with Janet Reno, it's been happening. We want to stop it and you want to play those games. Have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:07:15 What game did I just play? That's interesting because the topic of that interview, and obviously the only reason he had you on. Obviously, you could see the entire time. All he wanted to do was get to this gotcha question about your media company failing. It's interesting to me that he was very concerned about your media company,
Starting point is 00:07:35 which at the end of the day, my understanding is it's still on the air? I mean, I feel like I do a show for it every day. Pat, you do a show for it every day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then... The Blaze is just the largest right of center streaming service in the world. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Okay. That's one way. That's one thing. One way to look at it. So that one's still around. And CNN Plus lasted not even one month. No. Not even...
Starting point is 00:08:02 $300 million flushed down the toilet. 300 million dollars. That's incredible. Remember when you... You invested 300 million into the blaze, though? Do you remember that? No, yeah. Flush that down the toilet.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Didn't do that. Didn't do that. So that's why there might have been a little glee in my tweets. I sensed a little glee. Did you? Yeah. You go on to say, did I mention my streaming service had 300,000 subs when streaming services didn't yet exist.
Starting point is 00:08:29 It was only the Major League Baseball of the Blaze. That's right. Those were the first couple. That was over 10 years ago. I could say that your pompous. didn't make 10 weeks, didn't bring me joy, but I will leave the lies to you and CNN. And then, then you really got, see, you like the self-reflective nature. I do, I do.
Starting point is 00:08:51 That you had in that interview. You brought back again and you said, I am sorry, Brian Stelter for that last tweet. I just lashed out after hearing the news about the biggest media failure of all time without thinking about how worried you must be about your upcoming unemployment situation. please know you are in my thoughts. I wanted to say my thoughts in prayers, but I know he dismisses the prayers. Right. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Okay. After reread, now this is you again. After rereading these tweets, I see how childish they appear. But after being subjected to your constant lies in the transparent hatchet job you call a career, the epic fail of CNN makes us believe in the old saying that evil loses in the end. And believe me, Brian Stelter, this is the end. I mean, the breathtaking speed at which CNN Plus crashed was a spectacular almost Zig Feld Follies end?
Starting point is 00:09:47 Yes, yes. Okay. Follow me on this one. Okay. That would be assuming that Ziegfeld had ever spent $300 million on a show to only have it close in eight weeks, but of course he didn't. A crap, Brian Seltter, I apologize. I used a hypothetical Ziegfeld Follies comparison in my last tweet.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I made the point that the failure of CNN Plus was so epic that it was akin to Ziegfeld having a $300 million production close in eight weeks. Sorry, I meant four weeks. One more thing, Brian Stelter on CNN Plus's epic, $300 million four week flameout. The Hindenburg of media failures. Please note, I only use Ziegfeld follies because I thought it would be relatable to you and your elitist out of touch, New York City, Upper West Side, Snoddy co-workers. Brian Stelter, when you are part of the crew crew of the business version of the Titanic
Starting point is 00:10:44 and bodies are still in the freezing water, crew members begin to question themselves and become introspective. What did you do wrong? May I suggest a few things that I'm sure you may be thinking? And then you go into, you launch into a plethora of things that they've done wrong. The list is available on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yeah, of course, it starts with Donald Trump. I mean, that's the reason why they failed. You know they're blaming it on somebody, but not themselves. They will learn nothing from this. At no point, did anyone rationally believe this would work? Why a network that no one watches when it's free on your cable system? Right. Why would people spend money to go out there and justify what they, and we keep saying $300 million.
Starting point is 00:11:35 The plan was one billion dollars over four years on the streaming network. Who could possibly believe that would work? I mean, it's the, it was dead before it began. Discovery, because of the way the mergers work, could not say that to CNN. They could not say the second we're taking over, we're going to shut this thing down. They couldn't say it legally. So they did everything they could. They went to the media and outwardly said, you know, this doesn't seem like
Starting point is 00:12:05 such a great idea, but they couldn't specifically tell them to change the plans. So they didn't to make sure they protected the, you know, the merger. The second they get in there, they're like, well, obviously, obviously this isn't going to work. The people at CNN rushed it through to get it started before the merger went, you know, went through fully so they could get it on the air and made such a big deal about it trying to lock discovery into keeping it going. You know, they said stuff like this is the most important moment in CNN's history. It's going to be the change the face of the news media, hoping that discovery would come in and say,
Starting point is 00:12:42 how are we going to get out of this? It sounds a little like the Democratic plan in Washington, doesn't it? Yeah. We're just going to start all these things and then hope that the Republicans just won't take them out. And you know what? If the Republicans do what they usually do, they won't take it down. Discovery did not act like the Republicans. They acted like a company that wanted to make a company that wanted to make
Starting point is 00:13:02 money. Yeah, that wants to survive. You know what I mean? I mean, how hard did you laugh when you heard this yesterday, Pat? Oh, I loved it. I laughed until I wept. And you know, I was weeping for joy. Can I tell you something? We honestly, with a very few exceptions, usually on election day, we don't gloat. I don't like enjoying people's failures. But it's impossible not to enjoy this. Oh my gosh. I enjoyed this so much. I enjoyed this more than if they would have said, Glenn, not only did you get Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, you're going to be living in a house built with ice cream.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Okay? I, that, you couldn't have made me happier than this failure. We were thinking of the biggest business failures of all time. And it's kind of on par with Pets.com. Remember the spectacular crash? That, no. But it's way beyond that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Pets.com lasted 270. 62 days. Wow. That's pretty good. Lasted 30 days? This is. This really is the morrican to the Titanic. That ship lasted one voyage. It was unsinkable.
Starting point is 00:14:22 It lasted one voyage and rested at the bottom of the sea. At least it made it halfway across. Yeah, you know, I mean, you can't argue that with CNN Plus. This would like. be this would like the be like the titanic sinking in the dry dock that's how bad this is you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program this is the glenbeck program bill o're riley is with us bill we were talking about disney and um i know how this deal was put together i know why it was put together i know why um florida made the deal uh however those days are past Now, he has just said that Disney no longer can have, you know, their own building inspectors and everything else. However, it appears as though this burden now is going to go on to the taxpayer. And they're saying the county, what county is it, Osceola?
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah. Two of them. Orange and Osceola, I believe. Yeah. And they say that this could increase property taxes by 20%. beginning next year. That will... It doesn't have to happen, and I'll explain it in a moment,
Starting point is 00:15:47 but give me a minute at the end of this segment because I have something interesting to tell you. Okay. Okay, so all the counties have to do, where Disney world is, is to pass local taxes. And you can do that in a variety of different ways. For example, you could have a local 2% tax on parking.
Starting point is 00:16:07 So people who park in any Disney facility, which is, you know, in the county, have to pay an extra 2% to the county. You see what I mean? Yeah. So you can make that money up easy. This isn't about the people are not going to get hammered. This is the left-wing propaganda that always happens.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I know that, I mean, there's no way that Ron DeSantis miss this one. That's just what we're hearing. All they have to do is fly me down there, and I'll give them how you can do your local taxes to make more money than you have now. So nobody has to get to.
Starting point is 00:16:43 tax. I will tell you, it is going to change the feel of Disney World. You know, when you get off the highway exit for Disney World, it's manicured lawns, the black top is black, you know, I mean, the stripes on the road, the medians are well maintained. That's because Disney has done it. The state and the county is, they're not going to do that. They'll maintain it like they do the rest of the county. I don't really care. I know. Because I'm not going to Disney World. I took my kids there and and and and I don't blame any American for taking their children there but right now if you go to Disney World in Orlando you better bring a lot of money yeah because a family of four spending three days there you're looking at about five grand okay that's
Starting point is 00:17:31 incredible they're gouging they're gouging everyone and this is this is what gets me so they're so woke and they're so noble and they virtue signal this is Disney all day long well poor people can't afford to go into your park. Do you not understand that? Could you not maybe sell discounted tickets, you know, in some way to allow working families to come and enjoy it? Do you have to gouge on every single thing you do? Because that is the reality of Disney. And we're not even talking about what they do in China. Do you realize that Disney Shanghai pumps $5 billion into that corporation a year. You know what they pay their workers in Disney, Shanghai? About 80 cents an hour. Okay? I mean, it's just, every time I turn on and I never very rarely do the view, and that's Disney.
Starting point is 00:18:29 That's Disney. And I'm going, this is corporation, but the folks have revolted, Beck. That CEO who made this crazy thing in Florida, who attacked the family, it there, he's gone. Yeah, well, it's not his fault, though, honestly. He was, he wanted to stay out of all of this stuff. I agree with you. He handled it poorly internally, and he
Starting point is 00:18:54 should be gone, but their entire employee roster, it seems, in Burbank is just nuts. In Burbank, that's what they let these loons in Hollywood, in L.A. run their corporation.
Starting point is 00:19:10 That's what, and they do. Yeah. So you get what you deserve. The American, the Disney brand, once the strongest brand in the United States of America, there was no stronger brand, is now destroyed probably forever. But this shows you the power of the people. And we're going to see it in November with the midterm election. All this woke garbage, all of this progressive nonsense.
Starting point is 00:19:36 This had to happen. Biden had to happen for the backlash, the forer, of the people finally to emerge. And it's going to Beck. So CNN and Disney are just the first two. So here's the thing about the woke left. They hate Disney and its original values. They hated Walt Disney himself.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Because it's the traditional family. Correct. They hated it. So they don't mind if they destroy it. If they can use it and pervert, it, they'd much rather do that. But they're going to be happy either way. Does it recover?
Starting point is 00:20:17 I don't think you're going to be happy after November. When you see what happens in November, I don't think there's going to be one woke progressive happy. And that's coming up. It's almost six months away. And if you think Joe Biden and his new
Starting point is 00:20:33 national security advisor, the Easter Bunny, is going to solve inflation in six months. I mean, you know, it's not going to happen. So can I ask you another question that's been bothering me all week is about the war in Ukraine. Yes. We are, you know, we went from, oh, no, we can't, we got to stop Poland from allowing the Ukrainians to fly away with old migs. That would be our involvement would get us into trouble too.
Starting point is 00:21:05 We just said yesterday, yeah, here's another billion dollars worth of howitzers and high-tech. armaments, and Biden said, I'm going to go back and I'm going to ask the Congress for more. Sure. What is happening? Are we going to war? It's going to be built back better Ukraine. The United States government senses weakness on Putin. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And now they're piling on and try to take him out in the sense that if he loses in Ukraine, his power structure in Russia is much, much less. Okay? That's number one. Number two, the mig thing is this bogus because Poland wanted to fly those planes to a U.S. base and then have the planes go. Biden didn't say, no, Poland, you can't give the Ukrainians Migs. He didn't want to have our air base used. And I understood that because here's the bottom line on it.
Starting point is 00:22:05 The Ukrainian pilots cannot stand up to Russian pilots. They would have been blown out of the sky in three days. I saw it happen in my own eyes in the Falklands War when Britain killed every single Argentine pilot, every one in that war. The same thing would have happened if the Ukrainians had gone up in an air war against Russia. It's the ground war that the Russians are losing, and they are. And that's why NATO and the United States are now flooding the zone with weapons. I don't see a flaw in the strategy.
Starting point is 00:22:40 And I'm not, you don't negotiate with a guy like Putin from weakness. And right now, Putin is losing there. But we wanted a arm's length distance from all of this because Biden said, you know, Putin will, if we get too cozy with Ukraine and we're doing things on the ground, Putin's just going to blame it on us and then we'll be, you know, sucked into that war. Yeah, but you blame it on us no matter what we do. No matter what we do, Putin can blame it on us. Right now you've got a coalition, NATO, and the United States, feeding weaponry into Ukraine so they can defend themselves. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Did you see that? You know, if you say, well, we don't want to provoke Putin. Putin doesn't need provocation. Putin can say tomorrow, the United States did this to us. They threat, well, we're going to do this. All right? So, I mean, you're dealing with a guy who is not a rational guy at this point, and you want to weaken him as much as possible.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Did you see the, I think it's foreign policy, came out with, video analysis of Putin grabbing onto the table and his his puffy throat they say at best it looks like he's on steroids for his back but he has seen a cancer specialist 35 times he may be going through chemo do you believe that he looks he looks terrible I mean I haven't seen this guy topless in six months and that's your indignation yeah yeah all right he's got he's got problems all right listen I want to tell you something important back yeah next week And maybe we can talk about next Friday is the anniversary of Abu Ghraib's story breaking in 2004.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Okay? It was a horrible story and made the United States look terrible worldwide and the left latched upon it to try to destroy Bush the younger. Everybody remembers Abu Ghraib, right? Yep. Okay. And the mantra of the left was it doesn't work. This doesn't work. Coercerex interrogation doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:24:30 So my book, Killing the Killer is the Secret War Against Terrorist, comes out May 3rd, and Beck has read it, I think, twice now. and it refutes that. And it says in the book, and documented evidence, National Security evidence, that coerced interrogation saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
Starting point is 00:24:53 And this is a very, very important book, perhaps my most important book, killing the killers, because it tells you things that no one knows, and we got it from people who do know. And it's an amazing read. So I hope everybody will check it out. And when you hear about Abu Ghraib next week, no, you are not being told the truth.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Now, the morality of torture, that's something every individual has to decide for themselves. But if your daughter is being raped and killed as Kayla Mueller was, the poor girl from Arizona, and a guy knows where she is, you tell me what you would do. Bill O'Reilly, his new book, Killing the Killers, comes out the first part of May. He joins us every Friday, and you can see him at
Starting point is 00:25:42 Bill O'Reilly.com. That's Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill, God bless. Talk to you again. Okay, hope you feel better. Thank you. Bye. Bye. You're listening to the best
Starting point is 00:25:54 of the Glenn Beck program. It is the Glenn Beck program. I wanted to bring on the lieutenant governor of Idaho. she is the gubernatorial candidate. You might remember she is the one that when the governor left the state, she was like, yeah, we're not doing any of that stuff for COVID, which I cheered personally. Janice McGeehan is her name,
Starting point is 00:26:36 and you can follow her at janiceforidaho.com. These are really important in every state. You must pay attention. My opinion, Brad Little, the governor of Idaho, who's running again is absolutely a waste of a chair. Just not a not a Republican and I thought he was very out of touch when I met him. But that's just me and I'm not a resident of Idaho.
Starting point is 00:27:08 The lieutenant governor is here to talk a little bit about her campaign. Janice, welcome. Good morning, Glenn. Thank you so much for inviting me to. join your show this morning. Sure. I truly appreciate all that you do for conservative movement in America. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:27:26 I would like to start the interview with your opinion on if you think that Brian Stelter from CNN actually grew in a potato farm there in Idaho, but I don't want to start off with nastiness, so we'll move on. Janice, tell us your vision and why you should be the, candidate for governor. Well, Glenn, I'm concerned in the last two years the decisions that are, that our current governor, Mr. Little, has made, and you mentioned some of his actions and really his lack of action to protect the freedoms and liberties of the individual, a lack of standing firm for
Starting point is 00:28:15 the sovereignty of our state and giving away our traditional conservative values, all in the name of compromise and just bringing more money into our state. As I've traveled across Idaho for the past year, I have listened to the people of Idaho, and the people of Idaho have a strong voice, very conservative voice in Idaho. And we have, Mr. Little is not listening to the people. He has failed. The people. He's not stood behind President Trump in the 2020 election. That is why I have received the endorsement of Donald Trump in this campaign because I stand for election integrity and fighting for forensic audits in Idaho and in America.
Starting point is 00:29:08 What we saw in 2020, we've learned a lot. We need to make sure that some of those election irregularities never happen again. And our governor, Mr. Little, with his small ideas of giving, we have this $2 billion surplus in our state and just a small amount of tax return to the citizens of Idaho. Rather than taking that amount of excess revenues, which means we're overtaxed, giving that money back to the hardworking citizens of Idaho in the form of lowered sales tax, removing. sales tax on food, reducing our gas tax and our property tax. Mr. Little used that money instead to grow government programs and government funding over 20% increase in our state budget programs this year. So we're talking to the lieutenant governor of Idaho. Pardon me for my voice, lieutenant governor.
Starting point is 00:30:12 But when you look at your state, you have a lot of people who are farmers, ranchers, you have a lifestyle in Idaho. And it's being challenged by newcomers and businesses. How do you balance these two so you don't lose the essence of Idaho? I think the way that we balance this is we create a fair, a fair playing field for all. We have a lot of people that are moving into Idaho from other states, these states that have gone radical and moving to Idaho because they've lost, the states have,
Starting point is 00:30:56 they've, you know, they've lost their freedoms in these other states and they're coming to Idaho. And some of the people that are most engaged in protecting our traditional conservative way of life here in Idaho are those individuals that are coming here. But at the same time, Glenn, we have businesses that are being enticed and Mr. Little and the leadership giving away special tax incentives to these corporations like Facebook. They gave a special tax incentive to Facebook to relocate outside of a community in Kuna, Idaho, munching up our agricultural farmland, making, more demands on the water and the resources in our state.
Starting point is 00:31:44 So that's what I'm talking about is we need to have a level playing ground where we do not have this corruption and this cronyism that if you come in and wave a big check in front of the politicians' nose, they're going to give you a special incentive to come to the state. It needs to be a level playing ground where all of our businesses, if we're going to, we need to reduce the tax burden. and the regulation on our businesses, all of them. 90% or more of all the jobs created in Idaho are created by small business community, and we need to do more to support the small business community
Starting point is 00:32:25 and not just give away all of our resources and our tax revenue to these special interests coming in. So I'm sure you were aware I was up talking to your governor about ESG. And all of the Republicans were on board. And then the big banks came in and started doing, I think there were, I can't remember exactly. I don't want to give the wrong number. But there were a lot of bank lobbyists, big bank lobbyist. And that was shot down. And if your state, I mean, all kinds of states now are enacting, I think Arizona just did another one, where if you are,
Starting point is 00:33:10 using ESG and you're going after gun sellers or anything else, you're breaking the law. We couldn't get any movement in Idaho on this. The special interest seems locked up. How can we trust that you are going to be somebody that would break that up? Well, because of the example that I've given in the past, the past two years, my willingness to stand up again. the establishment that speak out against the governor. And I've been criticized for that because people don't expect that from the lieutenant governor,
Starting point is 00:33:52 you know, working against the current governor. But as I've explained to the people of Idaho, and here in Idaho, the governor and the lieutenant governor are separately elected constitutional offices. We do not run as a team like some states do. And so when I swore my oath to the law and to the Constitution of Idaho, that's where I follow and I do not subscribe my allegiance to the governor. And when he steps out of line and violates our constitution and our laws and the rights of the individual, that's what people in Idaho can count on me that I am always willing to stand in their defense and stand in the gap.
Starting point is 00:34:43 That's the kind of leadership that we need. In Idaho, that's the kind of leadership we need to see more of throughout America. So I have to ask you one question, and this is a tough question, but it is also personally driven to some degree. I'm from the Seattle area. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I've always wanted to go home and live in the Pacific Northwest. my wife is like, you're not moving me there to that rain. And the entire West Coast has just fallen off the map.
Starting point is 00:35:13 It's crazy. And so Idaho is the Pacific Northwest, and it's great. But it has always had a reputation of small pockets of white nationalists and crazies. Every state has them. I shouldn't say that. Many states have them. And you, you were, you gave a recorded speech at a first political action conference. It's founded by Nick Fuentes.
Starting point is 00:35:47 You said you didn't know who that was, et cetera. I find that hard to believe because I, I mean, I give speeches all the time and I never go. My staff does this. How did you overlook that? And I'm only asking, because I have property. in Idaho, and I'm counting on Idaho to come through, and I don't want any white supremacist group to have any oxygen at all from the state leadership. And I agree, and that I believe that same thing, and I personally have no acquaintance or friends
Starting point is 00:36:24 with those people. I believe that we are all created in God's image. We are all equal with the rights of life, liberty, and these are inalienable rights of us as citizens. So I completely am in agreement with you on that. What happened with that conference, I was asked, and it's an honest truth statement when I said, I do not know who that person is. I did not know anything about him. at the time. But the person who invited me to submit a video, it was Michelle Malkin,
Starting point is 00:37:07 and she invited me to submit this pre-recorded video to the conference that they had. The conference is made up a lot of conservatives from all over the country, and they are interested in America First policies, the policies of Donald Trump, securing our border, believing in the fact that America is based on Judeo-Christian values. So that's what happened, and I have made that statement over and over again. That's who I am. That's what I believe. Asked and answered.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Thank you very much. I wish you the best. How can people get involved? I guess they just go to your website, which is Janice for Idaho. com? Yes, yep. And there's lots of ways to still get involved. We're targeting neighborhoods.
Starting point is 00:38:06 We're, where we've recognized all of the Trump supporters throughout Idaho. We were knocking on doors, making calls thousands and thousands of those outreach being made and getting, still getting around the state, lots of events, just going and talking the people like that. The primary is May 17th. Does Brad Little actually have a chance of winning this? Well, it's not easy to go against an incumbent.
Starting point is 00:38:36 But I'm the front runner in the race to be successful against him. And if we unite as conservatives, there is a path to victory. We need to get people to the polls because there is an effort by Democrats and establishment Republicans. Yes. Democrats to cross over. So we get people to the polls. That's how we win. Well, I will tell you this, that you're exactly right.
Starting point is 00:38:58 When push comes to shove, we have to unite and win because I don't think any state will survive if you don't have constitutionalists that are not connected to the graft and everything else. We don't survive. And I wish you all the best. Thank you so much, Lieutenant Governor. Thank you, Glenn. You bet.
