Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to aboard Via Rai. Embarked and profite. Embarque and celebrate. Rigolet. Publiere. Savoy. Admire.
Starting point is 00:00:10 And profite. Viarai. The voice that we love that we love. Really good show for you today. We talk about the border again. And some of the things that are going on also, Toby Keith died. And so did Bob Beckwith.
Starting point is 00:00:26 You know who Bob Beckwith is, if you remember 9-11. but you don't recognize the name. We'll point that out. Also, we had J.D. Vance on talking about the Senate and the different things going on, and the incredible administrative state that is building a cage around us. What the Democrats accuse the right of doing, they themselves are doing, and we show it to you on today's podcast. Brought to you by Preborn.
Starting point is 00:00:54 One of these days, maybe in our lifetime, it's going to be possible to see the abolition of abortion. History books of the future will write about the generational trauma, the breakdown of families, the destruction of basic morality, and how one day it came to an end. But we are still there. And in fact, the abortions have gone up because they're being made easier. On this podcast today, you'll hear there have been two or three studies that show that the abortion pill is really damaging. And gosh, they've just been recalled. I mean, they've been published. They've been examined, but somebody wrote in and said, those aren't true.
Starting point is 00:01:34 And so they've pulled them. Surprise, surprise, just a couple of weeks before a court case debating all of that. Anyway, the Ministry of Preborn stands every day for the helpless among us. And that's not just the babies. That's also sometimes the moms. They don't feel like they have anybody standing by them. They don't have any money to get through. and they don't have any faith that they'll make it.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Well, that's where the Ministry of Preborn stands in. First, they give Mom an ultrasound, so she sees the baby's face and the body, and hears the heartbeat. That doubles the chance that the baby is going to be saved. Then, if she doesn't have anybody, they'll tell her, and they'll back it up that for the next two years, you're not going to have worry about it. We're going to get you all the postnatal checkups. We're going to help you with baby clothes and even books and toys and toys.
Starting point is 00:02:24 and everything, so you are safe and the baby is safe. Preborn. Preborn. It is so worth your time and will bring the, I think, bring the grace of God upon us. We need to be people of merit and be seen doing things of merit in the eyes of God. And this is one of the best things we can do. For 28 bucks, you can get an ultrasound, but you can give more if you want. pound 250 say the keyword baby it's pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash glen that's preborn.com slash glen
Starting point is 00:03:00 you're listening to the best of the gl Stu is at his house I was at my house we were both working at wfLA in Tampa florida it was the first year I had done talk radio I had just signed a a deal to replace Dr. Laura on the Premier Radio Networks. And it was supposed to start in January. And we were really doing a comedy show. We were making fun of everything. And I was pretty much a boob at the time. I didn't know where I stood on many things.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Because I was just doing comedy. I was making fun of talk radio. I was making fun of people like me, honestly. And then my wife called me from work, and she said, turn on the TV. A plane has just hit the World Trade Center. I said, what? He said, yeah, turn on, and Katie Corrick was on, and it was the Today Show. And they were talking about how it must be a small plane.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And I looked at that hole in that plane, and I thought, that's not a small plane. And I'm talking to my wife, and Paul waiting goes off, and Stu is on the other end. He said, are you watching this? I said, yeah, I don't think this is a small plane. He said, I don't think so either. And just then, the second plane went in. I said, we got to go. We got to go to work. I told my wife, I said, honey, it's probably going to be a very long day. I got to go. As we were driving in the World Trade Center collapsed. When I got to the studio, I looked up at the monitors, and I saw something I never thought was even possible. It just pulverized.
Starting point is 00:05:14 It was dust. And the people jumping out of the World Trade Center and America just shocked our innocence. Who would do something like this? We didn't know. I had said just two years before that there would be blood, body, and buildings in the streets of Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:05:38 I was on WABC in New York. And I said it would have the name of Osama bin Laden on it. And I had completely forgotten that. And we didn't have any answers. And Premier calls me up and said, we need you to go national. And I went home and I prayed and prayed and prayed. And I said, you have the wrong guy. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't have an answer for this. I don't have no idea. And on my first national program, I think I said that. I don't have any idea of what is really going on. But If you'll stick with me, we'll find the answers together.
Starting point is 00:06:23 It was just a few days after the World Trade Center, and I'm telling this story because there's a lot of people that are under 30 that probably have not heard this story or have been watched it or been taught the truth about what happened on that day. Osama bin Laden had been waiting ever since Reagan pulled his troops out after the marine bombing of the barracks in Beirut. He saw that as a sign of weakness, and he told his people at the time, oh my gosh, we can make the giant move.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And they had waited and plotted, and 9-11 was the day. They were trying to take out our stock market. They were trying to collapse us economically. They knew if we collapsed economically in our banking system, we would be over. We've done a pretty good job at that sense. Everything that he wanted to accomplish, we've been accomplishing ourselves.
Starting point is 00:07:30 But I talked to Bob Beckworth. He died yesterday. Bob was the firefighter that happened to be on the fire truck when somebody came up, stood next to him. He had no idea. It was the president of the United States. Here's what he told me just a few years ago. The picture seared in the nation's memory.
Starting point is 00:07:55 President Bush At ground zero, three days after the attacks, a bullhorn in one hand, the other draped around firefighter Bob Beckwith. That firefighter with President Bush was Bob Beckwith stood shoulder to shoulder with President. Bob Beckwith, a firefighter from Queens, New York, in his mid-60s. That day, he stood alongside the president and stepped on to the national patriotic stage. Bob, are you there? Yes. Hi, Bob. How are you?
Starting point is 00:08:27 Very good. And yourself? I'm very good, sir. Very good. I just wanted to touch base with you. Your experiences with 9-11, because I painted a painting of you a couple of weeks ago for an auction. And as I was painting you, I thought, you know, I know this man's story, but not really. First of all, where were you on 9-11 when it happened? When it happened, my daughter had called me that my grandson going to school on his bicycle was hit by a car, about two blocks away from me. And I ran over there to see what was happening, and I saw him on the ground, but he was moving.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So that was a plus. And I found out from the ambulance driver where the hospital they were taking him to. and I came home to get my car I listened on the radio and I heard the guy saying And so I came inside And my wife had it on the television already And they had cameras there
Starting point is 00:09:38 I was looking And I said that's a little bit bigger than a small plane Yeah I figured I got a bad day going My grandson gets hit by a car And now a plane goes in Where were you living at the time, Bob? I live in right here in Baldwin, New York.
Starting point is 00:09:54 When did the phone call come in that you had to go? Were you with your grandson in the hospital? When did you? I went to the hospital to be with him. Everybody was watching television at the hospital. And I saw the South Tower come down. Oh, my God. One World Trade Center has collapsed in its entirety.
Starting point is 00:10:18 One World Trade Center is gone. And then a few months later, the North Tower came down. The other tower just collapsed. And I knew that there was guys in the building, you know, because the firemen were in there, you know, what goes through your head when it just hit you pretty hard. I told my wife and my kids that I'm going down to Ground Zero, and they said, don't go down. You're too well.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I was 69 years old. And they thought I was an old man there, and I'm going to get in the way. So just don't go down there. The next day, I find out that Jimmy Boyle. Now, Jimmy Boyle was the president of the UFA, the Uniform Firefighters Association. And I was one of his delegates. And when I found out his son is missing, I said, that's it. I'm out of here.
Starting point is 00:11:08 And I suited up the next morning, and I got to go down to ground zero. So you're there. You snuck across the bridge on the island. Then you sneak across the barrier with National Guard. Right. And then what happens? And then I came into ground zero, and I tell you, it was a shock. You can see the people running for as these buildings begin to cross.
Starting point is 00:11:31 The rest of the running racing for their life. One of the buildings is largely collapsed. It means that as yet unidentified survivors will be found in underground. The first thing that came to my mind was just as how it probably looked in the blitz when. Yeah. Wow. You know what happened? I worked down there all that day, and I was on the Bucca Brigade, and I found a shovel, and I started digging with the guys, and we found a pumper.
Starting point is 00:12:00 A pumper is a fire engine in the rubble, and we told the crane operator to put the rig out in the street, which he did. Some guy comes over, and he says the president is here. And I saw the guys put their shovel down, and I put mine down, and I walked out to the street. And there's that pumper we just dug out of the rubble. I jumped up on it, and right across the street was a command post, a tent with all microphones in front of it. I figured, oh, that's where the president's going to talk. This Secret Service man came over to me, and he said, is this safe?
Starting point is 00:12:41 I said, yeah. And he said, we'll jump up and down on it for me. So I jumped up and down on the forum. And he said, okay, he said, somebody important is coming over here. And when they come here, you help them up, and then you get down. I said, okay, because you do what the Secret Service guy tells you to do. The president comes around, and he does a hard right, and he comes right in front of me, and he puts his arm up. So I pull him up, and I turn him around, and I said to him, are you okay, Mr. President?
Starting point is 00:13:12 And he said, yeah. and I started to get down he said where are you going I said I was told to get down he said no no you stay right here and he put his armor on me and that's my story that's unbelievable
Starting point is 00:13:24 I didn't know I didn't know any of those things what did the president say to you at one point do you even remember when he turned to you in the middle of the speech and he said some things to you do you remember? No we couldn't hear we couldn't hear each other
Starting point is 00:13:41 we did speak to which but we didn't hear each other. It was too loud. The guys were yelling. I didn't remember him having that megaphone, that bullhorn. Really? And then he started to speak,
Starting point is 00:13:55 and he's speaking to the right, and the guys on the left, they're yelling, we can hear you. And he said, and he turned to the left with the bullhorn, and he said,
Starting point is 00:14:05 I can hear you. And the whole world hears you. And the pulling's down. We'll hear all of them. us soon. They went crazy. They went nuts. They started chanting USA, USA, USA. And it was, he said everything in those three sentences. Those days changed America. Those who were born shortly before or after don't remember an America the way I remember it. It was a completely different place after 9-11.
Starting point is 00:14:45 There's one more part of the story. We lost Bob Beckwith this week, the voice you just heard. So that part of history has now been lost to the ages and to digital memories. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. The good senator, dare I say, great senator from the state of Ohio, J.D. Vance. Hello, J.D. How are you? I'm good.
Starting point is 00:15:16 So I want to talk to you about the Senate border bill here in just a second, but do you have any comment on this shocking, shocking news that's just breaking that Donald Trump is responsible for everything he did while he was in the White House and can go to trial? So I first heard about this like three minutes ago when I was waiting to come on your show. I haven't read the ruling. I have nothing particular to say about it other than, look, I agree with Trump that the president has. pretty broad immunity from a large number of prosecutions for what he does while he's in office. You know, you can't go after the president for doing his constitutional duties in the same way that most police officers are immune, you know, from most prosecutions for doing their job. I haven't seen this case, but I'm not shocked that the D.C. Circuit ruled against the president. As we know, a lot of these things become political, and I hate to say, Glenn, I think we have to be
Starting point is 00:16:09 honest with ourselves as conservatives that much of what is framed as legal in this country is now just politics, then we have to wake up to that reality and deal with it. Yeah. Next hour, I'm going to go through some of the stuff that's going on with the legal system. And conservatives are in real trouble. They're blocking attorneys by threatening to sue them and destroy their lives and take away their license if they start to represent any client that disagrees with this administration. This is, I mean, I personally think when they say, you know, Donald Trump will be a dictator. Okay, well, what's the difference? Because this is what we have now. We are so close to really a dictatorship closer than I've ever seen this country.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Having their parental rights taken away for not consent to their kids' gender identity. My first exposure to this, by the way, Glenn, was I was advising this company Parlor, which was sort of an original pre-speech alternative to Twitter. after January the 6th, Google, Apple, Amazon, just in a very coordinated way, came against this company. It was very obviously a violation of antitrust laws. Nobody, no major law firm would represent that company because they would have their lives ruined. And that's when I sort of realized that what we're witnessing is complete institutional capture by the left. And I think, you know, this is one of the reasons why my politics are what they are. I've been trying to encourage my fellow conservatives to wake up to this new reality that we're living in because if this is what
Starting point is 00:17:41 we're dealing with, that it's not a question of, well, you come into office and you fight over tax rates and you fight over regulatory reform. We have to really recapture many of these institutions. That should be the goal of conservative politics in the 21st century. And again, I encourage my fellow conservatives to wake up to that reality. I'd like to see somebody put together a conservative law firm with the best lawyers in the country that are willing to stand together and fight this together. And I think, at least my audience, and I think most audiences, on the right would consider coming up with a legal defense fund because, you know, anybody who serves with Trump, it's going to need one because they're going to go after them all the time
Starting point is 00:18:20 constantly. All right, let me talk about the border. The Senate border deal is not a border deal. As I look at it, A, it's a war package and tied to it is a really bad immigration policy. It has nothing really to do with the border or solving that. Do you agree or disagree? Look, I agree with that, Glenn. We have to be honest that what happened here is the neo-conserved establishment of the Democrats really want $61 billion for Ukraine, and they have been working very hard to figure out how to package that to the American people.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Now, what we came up within the Republican Senate, and you know, I'm the biggest Ukraine skeptic, probably in the United States Senate, is like, look, guys, even if you're pro-Ukraine, you've got to secure the border before you do anything on Ukraine or our voters are going to go absolutely crazy and rightfully so. So this fig leaf is what we came up with. And I've got to be honest with you, Glenn, it is worse in the execution than I feared that it would be. Just a couple of provisions here that I think is very important for us to be honest about how bad they are. Okay. So the first is it takes away the right to grant asylum from immigration judges who are not perfect and gives them to USCIS asylum officers who are basically the most left-wing officials within the
Starting point is 00:19:38 immigration bureaucracy. So you basically are giving Mayorkas and his stooges control over who gets asylum in this country. Very big mistake. Second, very big thing. Hang on just a second. Hang on just a second. Isn't this akin to what Congress did years ago by giving all of the power to make the decisions and make the laws inside the administration? So nobody gets blamed for it and they just go their own way and you can't hold them responsible. This is the same thing, isn't it? Just giving the administration more power and leeway to do whatever they want. That's right.
Starting point is 00:20:13 With Mabberg, which is immigration, not just now, but for all time, who do you allow to become a citizen of your country? It's like the fundamental question of national sovereignty, and it gives it over to a guy who, by the way, Glenn, the house is impeaching maybe today, and we're talking about giving this guy massive authority. The second big issue here, Glenn, is it has this sort of border emergency shutdown,
Starting point is 00:20:36 which actually sounds good, right? If you were going to say, you know, as soon as you get an illegal alien coming across, you shut down the border, you radically change enforcement. But this sets the emergency authority at 5,000 illegal immigrants a day, which is close to 2 million a year. And again, Glenn, it gives Mayorkas broad discretion to waive this emergency authority. So this is not a good package.
Starting point is 00:20:59 We should vote it down. I actually, good news, when we had a meeting as a Senate conference yesterday evening, and I think everybody pretty much agrees that we cannot proceed on this thing right now, we just need to continue to hold everyone's feet to the fire so that this package doesn't become law. And again, we have to remember this is all about hiding from the American people, the ball on Ukraine. They don't want to be called to account for a vote on Ukraine, so they're going to call it border security. That's not what it's about. We are paying, correct me if I'm wrong, the salaries of everyone in their civil service.
Starting point is 00:21:35 So the entire government is now being subsidized by the United States taxpayer. Are we not paying everybody's compensation here in America and over in Ukraine? I don't know if it's everybody in Ukraine, Glenn, to be clear, but it's a lot of them. We're certainly paying for core parts of their civil service. And we know this. We're paying for their social security, I believe. We're playing for their pensioners. we're paying for a lot of their civil service. It's absolutely right. And we also know that there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:22:09 skimming off the top. There's a lot of corruption. It's a corrupt country. We've known that for well before this war started. But here's the issue, Glenn, we are told that this war is all about repelling Russia so that Ukraine can be an independent bulwark. What is actually happening is that we've strengthened Russia and Ukraine has become a welfare client of the United States, not just now, but in perpetuity. So we have failed at the fundamental. objective, we spent well over $100 billion to accomplish that failed objective, and there's no end in sight. It's time for the statesmen in this country to step up and say, enough is enough. This has to stop. As Donald Trump said, maybe the most important thing he said on the campaign trail is
Starting point is 00:22:50 we need the killing to stop. That's what's in America's interest, and that's what I'm fighting for. Senator Schumer came out and said, if we don't vote for this, well, American soldiers, our American boys and girls are going to be over on the front lines fighting Russia in the next five years. If we don't pass this, it's fearmongering, Glenn, and it's not true. And by the way, if the argument goes something like this, the Russians are going to roll through Ukraine and then they'll roll into Berlin. And that's the point of which American troops will be called to fight the Russian. Well, here's the problem with that. Germany has, I think, the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world. They spend way less than 2% of GDP, which is the NATO target on defense. If the Germans are at that much risk of the Russians, we need to say to the Germans, get your own house in order, stand up your own security forces. Don't rely on the Americans to bail you out. It actually calls into question, Glenn, and I'm going to get roasted for saying this, but good, because it's a conversation we need to have.
Starting point is 00:23:56 What is the purpose of NATO if the only thing it does is provide more people for us to support? NATO is supposed to be an alliance. The Germans step up. Everybody steps up. The only two countries, or at least the only two major countries with big economies that do their job on defense are France and the UK. Western and Central Europe have got to step up in a bigger way, Glenn. And we should not be asked to effectively substantiably.
Starting point is 00:24:24 their security apparatus, that's not an argument for an ally. That's an argument for another welfare client and the United States has far too many of them. So let me switch subjects. We talked about the lawyers and how they are being blocked if you're on the conservative side. Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee on the weaponization of the government highlighted the Biden administration's efforts to, quote, address. propaganda and misinformation in books that were being sold. And Jim Jordan yesterday outlined an effort to stop Amazon from selling certain books that disagreed with the administration.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I mean, you want to talk about book burning. Do you know anything about this? And when is someone going to stop this? Well, credit to Jim Jordan and the House judiciary for actually using their subpoena powers that's meant to be used and investigating here. But, look, Glenn, this is akin to what we saw with the big tech companies, colluding with the government to silence the Trump campaign, to promote the Biden campaign. This is what I talk about, institutional capture, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:25:45 we have bureaucrats in the government working with some of these companies to engage in a mass censorship campaign in this country. And it's largely hidden, of course, because it's shadow banning on social media. It's the books you don't see when you type in a search on Amazon. That's what's so evil genius about it is that we don't even see it. But this is how totalitarian regimes operate is that they can control what you think and what media can you consume. then they control what you behave, and that's when you're no longer a free citizen.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Look, I think that this is illegal stuff. Potentially people should be going to prison for it, and this is the best argument, maybe, that I can make for a future, you know, Attorney General Josh Hawley or someone else, is you've got to go after these guys and actually force them to suffer consequences. It's the only language these people understand is power. And if you're going to use your constitutional authority to shade and to unconstitutional censorship, you've got to face consequences for it. At the very least, you ought to lose your job. You know, you're very effective as a senator. I would hate to lose
Starting point is 00:26:53 you as a senator, but Ohio is a very important state. Has there been any talk about consideration of you being a vice presidential candidate? As I said, of course, if the president asked me, I think about it. I do think it's extremely important that we reelect Donald Trump, but I like being a senator. I think that's the best way for me to serve the people of Ohio. And that's my honest answer is, yeah, I'd think about it, but I really like my current job. To your point, Glenn, we actually need people at all levels of the federal government if we're going to implement an effective agenda.
Starting point is 00:27:30 The president is, of course, the most important, you know, things like immigration, foreign policy, he controls almost unilaterally. But you need good lawmakers. And that was one of the problems with the first Trump administration. way too many Republicans fighting against the leader of their own party. If we want to work effectively, we can't have that. Are we going to see a close of the border? I mean, a meaningful securing of the border before the election?
Starting point is 00:27:58 I hate to say it probably no unless Republicans grow a lot stiffer of a spine here, Glenn, here's the leverage that we have. It's two things. It's Ukraine and it's government funding. We would need to be willing. as a unified Republican conference, House and Senate, to say, we're not funding any more of your government until you get illegal border crossings below, you know, at least 1,000 per day, right? This is a significant reduction of where it is.
Starting point is 00:28:24 I don't see that resolve within my fellow Republicans. I think that there are some of us who would do that. I certainly would, but I would hold my breath. And I hate to say it, Glenn, but I'm just being honest with you. Yeah. All right. Thank you for loving country more than self. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:28:41 J.D. Bands. God bless. Thank you. The best of the Glenn Beck program. In today's Gledbeck morning newsletter, which is free at glenbeck.com, you will find these stories.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I'm going to touch on these. Just the headlines first, and we're going to go back to them. Jim Jordan shows Amazon files, federal censorship efforts to digitally burn books. Effective GOP attorney generals face politicized ethics charges.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Democrats trying to strip all opponents of representation in court. Biden's DOJ continues to abuse the Face Act. Completely unjustified, medical journal retracts major studies critical of the abortion pill ahead of the Supreme Court clash. Montana parents face arrest after refusing to go along with daughters' sex change. Virginia Democrats trying to pass a bill to make bipartisan election oversight a hate crime. Let me start with this. Still, look up the definition of fascism for me, William.
Starting point is 00:30:13 People, when they hear fascist, they think concentration camps. And that usually is the way they end because you have to have, you know, you have to get rid of the political people that disagree with you because unless you're in a free state, you can't have people who disagree with you speaking out. That's the definition. That's the first definition of freedom is being able to speak your mind. Well, you can't do that. And it starts with intimidation. It starts with suggestion, then intimidation, and then shove and shoot. So you have to have these concentration caps, but that's not in the definition, if I'm
Starting point is 00:30:58 not mistaken, of fascism, Stu. Yeah, I'll give you the dictionary definition. A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exaltz nation and often race above the individual. I mean, it's just so... Say it again. Say it again. Say it again. Exalt nation and
Starting point is 00:31:13 often race above the individual. Gee, who's doing that right now? Tell me who is elevating race above the individual right now? Tell me with a straight face that is the right. It is insanity to believe that. It's insanity.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Every single person on the left is constantly telling us that this skin color is the most important thing about you. It's constantly told to us that it's defining your entire life. Your skin color tells you whether you're oppressed or not or whether you're a good person or not. And we're the ones somehow. I mean, it's so amazing. that this has ever happened. But it is a philosophy, movement, or regime that exalt a nation and often race above the individual.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictator, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. I don't know. Which party's about to lose their candidate from being on the ballot at all? Which one is that? I say a suppression of opposite oh my gosh I I you're never going to get to any of your points if you don't turn off my microphone right now no no no I think this is fine it is it's incredible and it doesn't include the the biggest part of the actual mechanics of fascism which is public private partnerships businesses are allowed to be businesses unlike in in in communism, they're allowed to be private businesses, unless you disagree with the state. Then they'll intimidate you and eventually just take you out. Somebody else will get your business and you're gone.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Public-private partnership. Okay. Now, I just, I want to drill into your head. Whatever they say that we're doing, they're doing. they're doing. Okay, good example. They just, they call us fascists. Could you read that one more time, Stu?
Starting point is 00:33:30 Sure. A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts a nation and often race above the individual. That stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictator, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Okay. You can see why they have to stand on. nationalism. Okay. When we say we're proud to be Americans and we hold America high in our esteem, it's not at the expense of the individual. In fact, it's because of the defense of the individual. We are nationalistic. Okay. Everything that the Constitution says, everything that at least that I believe, and I think the vast majority of people, that are, that claim to be conservative, and they truly are conservative, it's because of the
Starting point is 00:34:26 Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, which is all about the individual. They're about collective salvation. So if you're not a collectivist society or you're not pushing for collectivism, you can't be a communist or a fascist. Can't. So everything they say we're up to they're doing. And I mean, just, you know, they said Donald Trump was just killing us overseas and none of our allies had any respect for us. Well, I think I can check that one. They say that we're nothing but religious zealots that would force our religion on children in schools. Who's doing that? We're asking for school choice so the individual can choose if they want that or not.
Starting point is 00:35:20 They've come up with this new woke crap, an LGBTQ, which is a religion. Religion requires excommunication if you don't go along with the high priests. They demand that you stick to the dogma. There is no questioning of it. Which one has the religion that they're putting in schools? They say that we're going to have a dictator. Well, public-private partnerships, silencing opposition, environmental and social regulations, medical tyranny.
Starting point is 00:35:56 We've got that. The right is just in bed with big business. Really? Name the corporation that stands by the right and waves that flag. Name the corporation. It certainly isn't Cors. In bed with big business. that we don't really care about the lives of the poor and the immigrant.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And yet with what they're doing, the immigrant is being used and built by the drug cartels. The women are being raped every day sold into slavery. We don't care? Don't care about the poor. Really? Is your definition of caring for the poor? what's happening in L.A., what's happening in San Francisco? Because I think you don't care for the poor.
Starting point is 00:36:55 We're going to make, you know, they're going to throw you back in chains to the African American. Who's doing that? They just want to overthrow the government, you know, those people on the right, they have no respect for the Constitution. They want to overthrow our system of government. You can't even name our system of government. You keep calling it a democracy. It's a republic. Well, they just want chaos in the streets.
Starting point is 00:37:21 We do. You were the one with Chad. What was it? Chas in Seattle. You're the one that we're trying to get rid of all the police and reimagine how we're going to take care of people on the streets. We're the ones that want chaos on the streets. They don't care about national security. You have 10 million people coming across the board.
Starting point is 00:37:40 We all know they're terrorists. Yeah, but they don't really care. I mean, you know, they're terrorists themselves. you know. Well, really? Well, I guess if that's true, which it absolutely isn't, at least we're not farming it off to Hamas
Starting point is 00:37:57 and Hezbollah and Iran. You support terrorists. You support the terrorists on the streets here in America. They're just going to take away your choice. My body, my choice. Really? Unless it's anything other than an abortion. You know, they just want to make sure that
Starting point is 00:38:17 white people get the jobs. Well, you You've lowered the standard at the FCC, I'm sorry, the FAA, lowered the standard at the FAA to the point to where if your handicap, black, trans, whatever the flavor of the month is, they don't have to have the same test scores even. They don't even have to test and have the same amount of competence to be an air traffic controller if they're not white. I don't think that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Which one is hiring just solely on race? Now here's the last one. We're Nazis. In Florida, they've been banning books. Really? Really? We know that's not true. We know that came from the left.
Starting point is 00:39:11 But again, if we know that the left accuses us of things that they are doing, let me give you this. Jim Jordan yesterday revealed internal documents secured via the sub sub sub sorry sub the subpoena of Amazon highlighting the Biden administration's efforts to address propaganda and misinformation in books for the online retailer. Okay, wait a minute. They say that I'm responsible for misinformation and propaganda. I will correct anything that I get wrong. You show me where I'm wrong. I will correct it.
Starting point is 00:39:51 It's not a matter of opinion. It has to be a matter of fact. Show me where I'm wrong. They don't. They can't. I am not for the banning of any voices. I want to make sure everybody, those who disagree with me, they should have a space in society and should be heard.
Starting point is 00:40:13 none of this digital ghetto stuff. They say we're burning books or we're banning books. And yet now we have the documents, the effort reminiscent of the Twitter file. It starts with an email in 2021 from a White House official seeking the opportunity to discuss the high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation of Amazon. Now, why were they so upset with? Amazon? Well, because Amazon believed retailers are different than social media communities and provided their customers with access to a variety of viewpoints. For the Biden administration, letting Americans actually read the other side is unacceptable. This is a country that despises Nazism. And yet you can buy Monm Kampf. You can't in Germany.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Here you can. You can buy MindConf. You can read Mind Kampf out in the open. It doesn't make you a Nazi. It makes you somebody that wants to understand what happened back then. What was this guy even saying? Without being able to read the insane ramblings, you have no idea what he really was talking about.
Starting point is 00:41:34 You have no idea. You can be duped into anything. You'll be duped that the, you know what? The Germans really didn't know. Yes, they did. It's in MindConf. But here, we can't argue about science anymore. You can't have those books for sale online at Amazon.
Starting point is 00:41:59 So after the meeting, one staffer asked, is the Biden administration asking us to remove books or just concerned about the search results and order or both? Amazon, after the meeting, move not to promote books questioning the vaccine. So you're not going to find it. Wow. Who's censoring? Who's burning books?
Starting point is 00:42:32 Who's silencing people? And the left will just say, well, that's because it was about the vaccine. Oh, okay. So if you're right, then you're okay with censoring. Because I'm not. I'm not cool with that. I really would love to hear the other side and how, you know, the Great Reset and all of the things that are coming out from Klaus Schwab, ESG, everything else, how that's not true. I'd like to read those things. I have read those things.
