Starting point is 00:00:00 It's something else here now. Something new. From. Exclusively on Paramount Plus. It's the series Stephen King calls Scary as Hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-fi Vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. A lot of people are saying that today's podcast is right up there with Deadpool and Wolverine, just without the violence, the costumes, the great acting, and the comedy. But other than that, it is just like Deadpool and Wolverine. You don't want to miss a second of it. We have RFK's former vice presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan.
Starting point is 00:00:57 She is such a blessing to the Republic because she is explaining to Democrats why they have to get away from the Democratic Party. It's not about policies. It's all about principles. That and so much more on today's podcast. You don't want to miss a second of it. Here it comes. Let me tell you about Jace. Literally every day we move closer to potential war with countries like Russia and China and even North Korea. It's insanity. There's a new report out that President Biden or wherever is signing for him these days signed off on a classified plan that is moving our nuclear strategy to focus on those countries. Hey, that would be good. That would be really good. You know, it would be even greater as if we didn't do nuclear war, but those countries all gathered together and said, we're not shipping anything to the United States anymore because they make our medication, like 19 out of 21 critical medications, all made by China. So you could get a personalized emergency kit. It contains essential antibiotics and medications.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's from Jace Medical. Go to Jase, J-A-S-E.com, and use the promo code back and save jace.com. You're listening to the best of the glen. Our executive producer. So do you believe in global warming now, Mr. After your house almost burned down? No? No, I really don't.
Starting point is 00:02:36 No. And my house was never in danger. to the fire department up here. But no, I really don't. It's like this every summer. You know what I mean? It's like this every summer. Because of the little warm.
Starting point is 00:02:49 It gets hot and dry. No, no, it's always, we're in what's called the upper desert or high desert. And it always is dry in August. And lo and behold, it was again this year. So it was actually really frightening. Do we have any of the video of it? I took some video last night. This is me driving up to it.
Starting point is 00:03:12 This is on my neighbor's land. I mean, these flames are large. Look at that. Look at that. Oh my gosh. It was terrifying, Steve. That's the side of a hill. Yeah, it looks like the type of footage you see on the news,
Starting point is 00:03:28 but when you hear an entire, like, you know, thousands and thousands of acres have burned down and everyone has to flee. Like, that's what, it looks like the beginning of that. It was frightening. It was frightening. Thank God we didn't have. have high winds last night. We always have, I mean, last week, we had 30 to 50 mile an hour winds up here the whole week. If that would have happened, it would have burned down the whole valley. But look at that. It is just, those were 30 to 40 foot flames at one point.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And you could feel, look how far away I am. I got out of the truck and you could feel the heat. It was terrifying. Then we went down and here to just run up the audio on this, would you? These are the firefighters. They backburned. Here come the firefighters out of it now. They backburned it, and it is... It looks fairly under control.
Starting point is 00:04:23 They think it's out. They got. Amazing. Good job when I had a fire department. I mean, they had bulldozers out and water trucks out. I mean, so fast. It was really remarkable. The Oneida Fire Department.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you. The birds and the bees and the deer and all of the animals. Thank you. They thank you. It was weird. Anyway, speaking of things burning down to the ground, how about the Constitution? The New York Times just released an op-ed.
Starting point is 00:05:07 the America's Constitution is sacred. But is it also the biggest threat to our politics? Bum, bum, bum! Yes, it actually is a threat to our politics. Yes. As it should be a threat to our politics. The United States Constitution is in trouble after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Really? Is that when it became in trouble, Stu?
Starting point is 00:05:36 I mean, I'm just, I'm thinking back, I'm thinking back, you know, a little bit before Donald Trump, like, I don't know, Woodrow Wilson. And I've been thinking the Constitution's been in trouble since about then. Maybe it's just me? Yeah, that doesn't seem like it was a little bit earlier considering, you know, the words of Woodrow Wilson who try to basically do to the founding documents what happened to that neighbor's mountain. Like, it just light it on fire and watch it burn. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that was it. By announcing his desire to throw at Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:06:12 the throw off constitutional constraints in order to satisfy his personal ambitions, Trump was making his authoritarian inclinations abundantly clear. Now, let me ask you, who is the one that is currently talking about the redesign of the Supreme Court? I mean, by the way, I just want you to know, that's what dictators always do. That is the last step to a banana republic. That is the point of no return when you have the president or the prime minister or whoever change the makeup of the Supreme Court. That's the last straw. Now, which one of those is doing that?
Starting point is 00:06:51 Glenn, we're just talking about it. Return to normalcy. That's all that is. That whole renovating the Supreme Court into something that has never existed. Is it return to normalcy? Yeah. may I ask you, Stu, isn't this exactly the same thing they did with Joe Biden? They ran him and he didn't talk to the press.
Starting point is 00:07:13 He never was in front of people. He was in his basement. When he was out, he was always on prompter. And then they just made the case that he was normal. He was just like you. He was for all the things you were for just to return to normalcy. That's exactly what they're doing again. America, come on.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Really? Yeah, of course. And, you know, Glenn, it's important to understand this return to normalcy. It just pervades this throughout the entire campaign. Like, for example, the return to normalcy of having debates that go through the presidential commission on debates. Remember that whole thing? That's now basically defunct because the president in the United States decided he was going
Starting point is 00:07:57 to be cocky and cancel one of the debates. leave the normal format and then taunt his opponent about it and lose so badly that he had to end his political career. And then the person who took over for them not only didn't go back to the commission and say, hey, let's start this up again. Let's do three of these things. No, no. She just had the one that was already there and then tried to change the rules of that. And then also taunted her opponent in the debate. Let's see if she shows up because that would be, I think, the most normal thing possible.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Yeah, well, you forgot the most normal part of that story, and that is getting the nomination without a single vote cast for her. Normal. It's normal, guys. Constitutional and totally normal and really what people are demanding. Anyway, it's no surprise then that liberals charge Trump with being a menace to the Constitution, but his presidency and the prospect of his reelection have also generated another very different argument. that Trump owes his political assent to the Constitution, making him a beneficiary of a document that is essentially anti-democratic.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Wait, wait, wait, you say we're a democracy, okay? You said we've always been a democracy. What would make us a democracy would be the Constitution. But we're not a democracy. the Constitution says we have democratic attributes, but we are a republic. And now you're calling this an anti-democratic document? I mean, after all, Trump became president in 2016 after losing the popular vote, but winning the electoral college. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Oh, my gosh. You're not going to believe this, Stu. He appointed three justices to the Supreme Court article. Article III, two of whom were just confirmed by senators representing 44% of the population, Article 1, whose three justice has helped overturn Roe v. Wade, a reversal that most Americans disagreed with. Eminent legal scholar, Edwin Chimorinsky. Yes, I love Irwin Chimorinski. They put him in place a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:10:21 He is great. He's an eminent scholar, and he's worried about opinion polls showing a dramatic loss of faith in democracy. There's never been any faith in democracy. He writes in his new book, No democracy lasts forever. No, in fact, that's why we're not a democracy, and that's why our Constitution has lasted when the average constitution of the world lasts 17 years,
Starting point is 00:10:49 ours has survived since 1781. I don't know, a little longer than 17 years. Anyway, no democracy lasts forever. It's important for Americans to see that the failure stems from the Constitution itself. Oh, really? Yes, Mr. Ciamarinski, Dean of Berkeley Law School. Of course. He's, he's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:16 That's Conno Harris's hometown, by the way. I just want to make point that out. It's not Oakland. No, it's Oakland. She told me it was open. I know she's a daughter of Oakland, but actually she grew up in Berkeley and Montreal and then went to Howard University. and then went to San Francisco. So you want to talk about a path to the normal middle.
Starting point is 00:11:37 She's red, white, and blue person. She's like screams Constitution in small town America from Berkeley, California. Just a heavy emphasis on the red. So what are you saying? Red and blue. That's who she is? Red, white, blue. Yes, she's all American.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Anyway. He says, Americans have a problem with the Constitution. And Chemerinsky, the dean of Berkeley political law schools, seemed to place considerable faith in Constitution, pleading with federal progressives in this book, We the People, not to turn backs on Constitution or the courts, but by contrast, no democracy lasts forever,
Starting point is 00:12:27 markedly pessimistic, asserting that the Constitution, which is famously difficult to amend. It's difficult to amend. Those should be walk-in park. These should be able to, like Mama makes apple pie. When she makes that apple pie, she puts it on shelf, and some neighbor can come and just get it.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I see it in American cartoons. And it should be that easy to amend Constitution. But it's not. It's very difficult. and he says what would need to happen is a new constitutional convention and in the book's
Starting point is 00:13:07 more somber moments which I wrote I entertain possibility of secession Vladimir Putin not for secession at all no he loves the constitution of United States and
Starting point is 00:13:23 Vesco states might form a nation called Pacifica red states might phone their own country, but he hopes that any divorce, if it comes, will be peaceful. Okay, so later, hang on just a second. So this guy's from Berkeley, and he's talking about Pacifica. Where have I heard this before? Where did I hear this before?
Starting point is 00:13:47 I remember, do you remember before the 2020 elections, Stu, the Democrats had some group together that was going to save America, remember, in case Donald Trump won? And one of the things they said was we will have California break up West Coast into Pacifica, California parts of Oregon, maybe parts of Washington state would become Pacifica and that we would break away. And if they didn't want us to break away, then we demanded Trump add two states. one would be Washington, D.C., and the other one would be make a state out of Puerto Rico. Oh, I remember that now. Gee, and what was their problem? Oh, their problem was the electoral college, which is weird because he just didn't mention the electoral college. The prospect of secession sounds extreme, he says,
Starting point is 00:14:48 but in suggesting that the Constitution could hasten the end of American democracy, democracy, Gemerinsky is far from alone. Lots of people. I've got Boris and Natasha say same thing. The argument that what ails the country's politics isn't simply the president or Congress or the Supreme Court, but the founding document itself, right? That's been our problem for the last 250 years. the longest running constitution in the longest running republic in human history. And that's our problem. All along, that's our problem. It's not like we haven't had a good run of success here.
Starting point is 00:15:36 You know, it would be one thing if like we were, there was an area of outer Mongolia that the entire United States looked like and we were a little disappointed in the progress we had made. But like, it's kind of the... most advanced country ever, you know, developed? It's, it's overseen this incredible, you know, all these incredible innovations. Yeah, go ahead. Have you looked at Aurora, Colorado?
Starting point is 00:16:03 That's the Constitution's fault. Oh, when the Venezuelans are taking over the apartment complexes? Yes. Okay. Yes. That's how is that? Constitution's fault. Why would that?
Starting point is 00:16:13 How's that Constitution? Yeah. Donald Trump. That's a good point. but you didn't quite, maybe you need to go a little bit more into depth on why the words Donald Trump would. I'm not going to listen to you conspiracy theorists anymore, really honestly. What if I told you that with the investment of just a little bit of your time today, you can not only pay significant less for your phone service,
Starting point is 00:16:38 but also you'd be dealing with a phone company that shares your values, not somebody who is standing up and paying Planned Parenthood millions of dollars, you know, so they can keep slaughtering children. I want you to consider switching your cell phone service over to Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is the best of the best, I believe. They give you better customer service. They gave you the exact same coverage, whether you're on any of the big three. They're on the same cell tower, so you're going to get exactly the same coverage.
Starting point is 00:17:13 And you're not going to be, you know, spending a lot of money. You just go to their website and look. you'll find a package for you and you will save money. We're all pinching pennies. We all want better service. We all want to vote with our wallet. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck lets you get all three. Call 972 Patriot.
Starting point is 00:17:33 972 Patriot. You get a free month of service if you call them today. 972 Patriot or Patriotmobile.com slash peck. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the program. Nicole Shanahan. We're thrilled to have you on, Nicole. How are you? Hi. I'm very good, Glenn. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm excited to talk to you for multiple reasons, but we're not going to really talk about policies because I'm sure we disagree a lot on policies.
Starting point is 00:18:09 But there is a bigger umbrella that we both really agree on, and that is the Bill of Rights. what is happening to our country right now. Can you take us from where you were when you first signed up with RFK? And what changed you to the point to where you're now saying, yeah, I mean, Robert is right. He should be running with Trump. Yeah. You know, I have been, I'm a lifelong California, Democrat, liberal. I've worked really hard over the last 15 years of my life to try to do the right thing, create a merit-based society. I do it with a lot of love. I do it with a lot of desire.
Starting point is 00:19:02 And I do it with a lot of science as well. I'm an AI developer in Silicon Valley, affiliated with Stanford now for over 10 years. I went to law school in Silicon Valley, was an IP lawyer, an entrepreneur. So I, you know, was very comfortable within the Democratic Party for many years, but I have to say something happened in 2016 that started a cascading series of events that has led to a morphous in the Democratic Party that make it immoral, in my opinion, unprincipled, lacking honesty. lacking transparency, lacking competence, and they feel entitled to throw away very, very important principles, principles like the Bill of Rights, principles like, you know, our First Amendment, free speech, principles like not using sabotage in democratic processes. And they feel entitled entirely. And I've done this investigation. I did this investigation prior to leaving to the party
Starting point is 00:20:17 because I tried to reform the party. I tried for years to find someone at the DNC. You know, they gutted, you know, any real leadership at the DNC. They put in a guy who's just, you know, they don't even bother to talk to the official leadership at the DNC because they think it's irrelevant. It's just a carry-along program now. It's just a carry-along group that just is almost an administrative pocket
Starting point is 00:20:42 for the Pelosi. contingent. And, and, and, and so I, I saw it falling apart from the inside with a great deal of concern. And, you know, at some point as a donor, they kind of just push you into a corner and they say, well, if you don't want Donald Trump, you have to support us. And that's their bottom line. That's all they have left as a policy is not Donald Trump. And my last response in the weeks before I left the party was that is not a policy, that is not leadership. You can't run on a platform of not Donald Trump. Nicole.
Starting point is 00:21:27 You know, go on. It amazes me that so many people are willing to say to the person who was the lowest ranked vice president really despised by the piece. She couldn't hold anybody in her office. Her policies were all upside down for America in 2020 when she was running for president. And now people are saying, oh, she's the greatest. Oh, she's great. They don't care about the policies. They're voting for an oligarchy.
Starting point is 00:22:04 They're voting for a machine. They don't care. Yeah. And, you know, I think the thing that makes me really sad is that they're using these wonderful American sensibilities and they're abusing them to manipulate their voter base. And, you know, she's a woman of color. She, you know, is selling that for everything it's worth right now.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And that, to me, is the kind of thing that goes against the very liberal principles that I was raised with. I was raised with, you know, yes, We should have a social net. We should not be racist. We should fight for the underrepresented. But that is not what this is. This has warped into something else entirely that tells people that it doesn't matter how incompetent you are.
Starting point is 00:23:07 If you can check a box of a minority on a sheet that is enough and you should be celebrated for that fact. To me, is really sad. And that's why when people say, oh, the Democratic parties, all of these liberal progressives, that's not what that is. That is actually a form of racism, in my opinion, because it creates a hierarchy based on race. Yes. It goes against everything Martin Luther King taught, everything that Martin Luther King taught.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Everything and all of the things I was raised on in Oakland is a little girl coming up. And I'm a, you know, I'm a brownish woman. Like I, like I have, I grew up in Oakland and Oakland public school systems. And I was in a very multicultural place. And these are not the principles I was raised with. So this is coming from someplace else. And it does ring more closely to what my mother grew up in with in communist China, which is this single narrative totalitarianism, which you use.
Starting point is 00:24:17 phrases and slogans and really kind of a form of cultural brainwashing to really really solidify power. So talk to me about, because I, look, I really don't mind, there's opposition in all things, and we should be having debates. I don't want my way or the highway, and I'm perfectly willing to accept that America, disagree with me and go another way and vote for another candidate. If we're actually talking about the issues, you know, if we're actually talking about real policies, we're not lying to each other, you know, we're not, you know, just operating with chaos and
Starting point is 00:25:05 confusion or, you know, rigging the system. But that's, I think, what's happening. and I don't know how, Nicole, we can reach out to our, you know, our neighbors. I believe Democrats are good people. I think some of them are bad, just like some Republicans are bad. But the average person that lives, you know, on my street that is, that votes differently, I don't think they want totalitarianism. I don't think they want another war.
Starting point is 00:25:36 How do we talk to them to get them to wake up and go, wait a minute, This is not what they say they are. This is this is not the Democratic Party anymore. Yeah, I've had, you know, I'll just be honest with you, Glenn, like my lived experience now running for office with RFK Jr. As a third party and seeing how low the Democrats went and how they qualified their behavior with these beliefs that. You know, some of them know are just not true. Like, let's talk about what Rachel Maddo said about if Trump wins, he will be a dictator and he will send people like me to camps. That is a big statement for someone on the mainstream media to say this is not a joke.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And so people who respects the mainstream media are watching this and taking it as truth. And it really, so, you know, I feel like my job has been trying to take statements like that and unpackage them for the Democrats who are listening to that and only receiving their news through these channels and telling them, I'm really sorry you believe this. It's a scary thing to believe. I know you believe it fully in your being right now, but she's lying to you. This is the best of the Glenn Beck podcast. To hear more of this interview, check out the full episode, anywhere podcasts are found. Hello, Americans. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Tucker Carlson is taking his show on the road. According to NBC News, he starts this weekend with nothing but a bunch of far-right provocateurs. That's why it began. When I think far right, I think Russell Brand, don't you? and Russell Brand is kicking it off, I think, at Phoenix, this Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And then Tucker and I are going to be in Salt Lake City. And, of course, I'm a far-right pundit conspiracy theorist. And it's extremely disturbing what Tucker is doing. And I'm so very proud to help him with that extremely disturbing project that he's working on to, you know, restore actual freedom to America. I'll be with him in Salt Lake. You can get your tickets now. I don't really know where. I think it's it Tucker Carlson.com.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Is that his website? Check it out, Stu, would you? I think it's Tucker Carlson.com, but I hope to see you on Saturday in Salt Lake City. And then I'm coming home, Stu. Then I'm done with the ranch. I'm done with the ranch. A little fire. That's all it took.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Just a little forest fire. Wuss. Total wass. Just running away. from all the danger, as usual. We kind of hoped you were up there for a little bit longer because I think we're going to get, next time we set a fire there,
Starting point is 00:28:45 we're going to be a lot better at Target in your house. And we're going to lock all the doors from the outside, Glenn. But don't worry about it. Don't worry about that. It would be like China during COVID. We're going to just weld you into your home. Right. Are you a little disturbed at some of these hardcore right-wingers,
Starting point is 00:29:01 though? I mean, you know, for example, Tulsi Gabbard, you want to talk about a hardcore right machine. core right winger. So right wing that she not only endorsed Bernie Sanders at one point, but actually ran for president in a Democratic primary against Donald Trump. She's, you know, she's like, it's not just an open, flat scale. It's more of a circle. And she's so far right that she's almost left. Yeah, yes. It's weird. It's interesting. Almost. Yeah, but she's going to be there spreading her lies. I was with her this weekend. I just love
Starting point is 00:29:37 her. I just think she's great. Have you ever heard of a group, because I was with the Moms for Liberty this weekend, and Donald Trump spoke on Friday, and he was absolutely fantastic. We have to find this video and see if we can play it or promote it. Maybe it's on YouTube. But he did an interview on the stage at Moms for Liberty, and it was so good. It was the best I've ever heard. Everyone who saw him said, I wish every American who hates him could have watched this because he was so comfortable in his skin. He wasn't blasting everybody. He was just talking. And it was really, really good. Then Tulsi spoke the next day, and she's fabulous as always. I think too, part of this has been because Trump has done a lot of really long interviews. And you can pull out a
Starting point is 00:30:33 couple things he says. He obviously has fun with it. He gets a little insulting at times. He does that stuff. And that's the stuff that leaks out of there. But for the millions of people who actually watch these podcasts and pay attention to these things, like, I think they're getting a totally different impression of Trump right now. And when you compare it to what you're getting from the other side, which is one interview in 60 plus days with an interview buddy, like, I don't know. Again, return to normalcy. Which one's more normal? one who's really talking about the things he believes, who has his vice president on every Sunday show, every weekend, the one who's doing like lengthy interview after lengthy interview, or is the
Starting point is 00:31:12 person that's completely hiding from the public and who has not done an interview? And I still think this is extending. People are like, oh, well, she wasn't doing an interview for 40 days. No, it was more like 60. She hasn't done an interview since the CNN debate night. That night was the last time she actually did an interview. And I don't count what she did with Tim Walls. It's not an interview when you're not by yourself? No. No. No. You're supposed to be president of the United States. You can't do an interview by yourself? Step up.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Well, he's such a teddy bear, though. He's such a Midwestern teddy bear, you know. He's like a swimming. He's like they threw Kamala into the deep end and she made sure they had Tim Wall's swimmies on. It's, it's embarrassing. She's trying to be president in the United States. Yeah. Hey, have you heard of this group? I'm, I, I met the founder this weekend. I just absolutely love her. This group called Gays Against Groomers. Gays Against Grumers?
Starting point is 00:32:12 I don't think I have, no. Oh, my gosh. Everybody should know these people. I mean, they are fantastic. They are gay people who are like, okay, enough is enough here. This is grooming. You know, no, that none of this should be in schools. none of this should be talked about.
Starting point is 00:32:32 It's abuse. It's grooming kids. And they stand with us on absolutely everything when it comes to kids and what's happening in our schools. Absolutely everything. And they are, they found themselves in a position and they don't really care of being a pariah. They're not welcome, you know, in most places on either side. The left absolutely hates them. the founder, I think she's been debanked.
Starting point is 00:33:02 They can't use Facebook and she can't use Facebook. Instagram. Elon put her back up on X. I mean, the whole thing has been just silence these people. They can't get any sponsorship money. So they're not rich people and they're paying for everything themselves. And all they're doing is just standing up for our kids. I want to have them on the air because I think you should know about them.
Starting point is 00:33:32 I mean, anybody, I will stand with anyone who will stand up for our children and our Constitution, and quite frankly, common sense. I mean, there's some things that we disagree with, but not really much that's, like, critical right now to solve. They're amazing. They're amazing. And that more consistent, too, with, and who knows, maybe we're out of the mainstream here. but like isn't that much more consistent with the gay people that you know they're just like okay like yeah we obviously have different ideas of what you know what we do in our private life whatever but like we don't want people to be hanging out their genitals at you know uh no at story story hours
Starting point is 00:34:16 like that's not i don't think that's the norm for for gay people yeah i don't think so either I think every gay person that I know should be joining this group. Because every gay person I know is normal except, you know, who they sleep with. It's, you know, not normal for me in my life and, you know, my friends. But they're normal. Everything else, you know, it's like, hey, and they're not bad people. And I could live next door and we could have great times because who they sleep with, is up to them. That's between them, their partner, God, whatever. Not my business. And these people
Starting point is 00:35:00 are just great. I just fell in love with them. Just fell in love with them. So if you're gay, would you join them? Would you even look? Do they even have a, I mean, I wonder if they even have a website. These people have come under attack like nobody's business. And they're, you know, Imagine, imagine. Being a gay person in today's world where everything is just 100%, hey, you know what? We should put our genitals right in front of children. And you're against that. You know, Glenn, as I said, I was not familiar with this group.
Starting point is 00:35:39 And I just said, you know, you mentioned what's their website. So I googled them. And the top, there's like a Wikipedia hit there, of course. But then there is the, of course, before their own website. site is this. Gaze Against Groomers is a chapter based organization that amplifies dehumanizing anti-trans
Starting point is 00:35:57 rhetoric perpetuates anti-LGBQ plus stereotypes by falsely claiming that LGBTQ supporters of trans rights are dangerous to society including equating gender affirming health care with pedophilia and calling trans people a bloodthirsty terrorist cult.
Starting point is 00:36:15 It directs online harassment and intimidation campaigns, targeting LGBTQ people and events, including drag shows, hospitals, and libraries. The group's members have associations with other extremist groups, trade in racist and anti-Muslim rhetoric, and advocate gender-affirming care bans, and banning LGBTQ books and ideas from public schools. Shockingly, they are on the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, hate groups. The only gay people who could possibly find that.
Starting point is 00:36:49 way onto a hate group. Congratulations. You found the one group, Glenn. Well, I will tell you, what's shocking to me is that they didn't include the fact that I believe they're making Zyclon B right now to kill all the Jews. Wow, yeah, that's not. Maybe I have to scroll down a little bit of fine then. That might be the third story when you Google their name.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Gaze Against Groomers, these people are so great, just so great. I believe their actual website is gaze against groomers.com. in case you happen to be interested. Okay. Okay. All right. Let me see. I was going to talk about something.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Oh, yeah. By the way, the people who are for democracy, okay, they're absolutely for it. Next hour, we're going to show you what they're doing to Elon Musk. And I'm going to tell you a story about what's happening in Brazil. This is quite possibly the most important story that is out right now. because our government, our state department, is helping Brazil ban an American citizen and showing them how to stop freedom of speech. It's amazing what we're doing. But we're going to get into that.
Starting point is 00:38:06 But remember, they just love democracy. Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Democratic member Minnesota governor Tim Walz began their bus tour kicking off their outreach to voters following the Democratic National Convention. The Democratic campaign Saturday was called out for barring post-Gazette reporters from the announcement and parts of the Democratic National Convention. As of this writing, they also have been them from all future events where they have the ability to control access. So the great thing is, is they're barring any newspaper or any journalist from covering them
Starting point is 00:38:47 if they don't like them, which I don't think is what dictators do. I mean, dictators bar them and then kill them. But they haven't killed any reporters yet. You know what I'm saying, Stu? I mean, this is so overblown. Okay, so they're banning reporters. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I mean, look, I think if you look at it, they are allowing journalists to stay alive, to continue to do their job occasionally. I mean, that is a gift from our government. All rights are gifts directly from our government. That's how our society is ordered. And thank God it is for the benevolent people in our U.S. government to allow us to do these things like speak freely. Wow, it's such a miracle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:44 apparently the union is involved in part of this, but denying access to disfavored press as a favor to political allies just further institutionalizes the new normal. I love that. The new normal. Where application of all principles depend on whether you're a friend or an enemy. Today, the Harris Walls campaign considers the Post Gazette to be its enemy. That's the Pittsburgh paper, by the way, and denies us the right accorded to others. Tomorrow, who's next? I don't know. everybody who disagrees with them. That's who. But remember, they're very, very, very, very pro-freedom, pro-free speech, pro the Constitution, they love it, and, of course, a big fan of democracy. 60% of the vans on Amazon
