Trouvee de petitions
like one other
oner.
I have thought,
I've been behind
every day
this week.
On Monday, I thought it was Tuesday.
Tuesday, I thought it was
raised.
I keep thinking
today is Friday.
And it's been horrible.
It's great the other way.
It's horrible.
It is horrible.
that way.
You basically,
it's like a,
it's the same thing happens
when you wake up
in the middle of night
and like,
you think,
your body tells you like,
ah,
it's, gosh,
it's 515.
I need to get up.
And then you look back at the clock
and then it's actually like 1.18.
So I have to tell you this.
I had the best night just this week.
While I've been screwed up on the days,
there is a god.
You had one of those moments?
I went to sleep and I thought I woke up.
My alarm.
clock hasn't been going off. I thought I woke up and I was like, oh my gosh, I am so late.
And I actually get up and sit on the edge of my bed and then I turn on my iPad to look at the time.
1236. It was like, I mean, the heavens opened up. That's paradise. So great. So great. Okay, we got a
great podcast for you today. I think we covered some things that you should probably be aware of.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
You're welcome Pat Gray from the podcast Pat Gray Unleashed to the program. Hi, Pat. How are you?
Oh, perfect.
Are you really? Perfect. That is so great. Isn't it? That is so, so.
so great. You know what I'm excited
about. You know, there was
what was it? 1897?
1887.
What was that TV show that came out, you know,
spin off from Yellowstone?
1883? Yeah, 1883?
Yeah. Now there's 1923.
It's another spin-off.
And it was a very good
year. But
this is the
Yellowstone family
in
1923.
Okay.
And Harrison Ford is in it.
Television.
Harrison Ford.
It's an amazing thing.
That relationship has changed.
Though I have not seen Harrison Ford in something good in a really long time.
And I feel like, you know, his acting has an, I don't think, been at the top of its game for multiple decades.
Maybe since like 1970s.
Yeah.
He got some good stuff of the 80s.
No, he did.
I like him.
I like him.
You know.
you know, you're getting what you get.
It's like Kevin Costner.
You're getting what he does.
Costner's still at the top of his game when it comes to acting.
Costner is fantastic.
That's not here.
I mean, I love Harrison Ford.
I have a soft spot for Harrison Ford, but he's not.
He's not at the top of his game is what you're saying.
It seems to be what you're implying at least.
That is what I'm implying.
Yeah.
And also saying.
Directly.
Just out coming out.
Saying it.
Saying it.
All right.
Okay.
You don't accept the legend of the Christian.
skull if you're at the top of your game.
Man was that bad.
Well, that was a long time.
And also a fifth one, right?
Isn't there another one coming out?
I think it's six.
No, but I think he's not in that one.
Fifth or sixth. No, he's in it.
Oh, no, he's in it.
Yeah, okay, that would be bad.
Yeah, he's 85-year-old Indiana Jones or whatever.
Helen Mirren is also in this.
So, I mean, those are two really big, big stars.
Big stars.
Look, I'm sure they wouldn't select.
This is a big project.
I'm sure they wouldn't select him if he couldn't pull it off.
I'm sure he'll do okay.
But, and Helen Mirren is obviously, it's amazing that that's happened.
I think everybody wants to be part of a Taylor Sheridan production.
Oh, it is so good.
I think he's because he's really brilliant.
Oh, my gosh.
And he's just pumping stuff out like crazy.
You know, the thing with Beth Dutton, you know, she's English.
And she didn't even talk on the set for a while out of her American accent because she didn't want.
she didn't want the crew to go, oh, man, she's not, how is she going to play this?
And so she just played it as an American, even when she was off screen for a while,
because she wanted to see if she could pull it off and everybody, if anybody would ever say.
When she started speaking with an English accent, people were like, wait, what?
Have you heard her speak?
No.
It's unbelievable.
Oh, it's unbelievable.
She doesn't sound anything like Beth Dutton.
And she has this love-hate relationship.
She's like, I love her.
She is fun, but boy, is she bad.
You're like, yeah, yeah, she's bad, but.
She plays it so well, so well.
By the way, the guy who was on Hogan's heroes, he was Corporal LeBoe.
He died.
He was 96.
96. And do you know that he was in, he was actually held for, I think, a couple of years maybe in concentration camp?
Yeah, that's an incredible story because they always say, you know, like, oh, you can't make fun. You can't make fun. There's certain things you can't joke about. The guy was in a concentration camp and did a Nazi comedy.
Look up. I mean, that's, that is the ultimate slap down.
Wilhelm Kurt. What was his name? The, the, the colonel.
Colonel Klink.
Yeah, I don't know his real name.
Clemper.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
William Clemperer.
Look him up.
I think his dad was actually somebody, maybe on the other side, maybe.
I can't remember, but he has connections to the war that are serious connections.
And he was like, yep, I'm playing that.
I mean, geez, that's great.
It was fantastic.
Fantastic.
That was only, what, didn't that come out?
So it was only 20 years.
That'd be like doing a
comedy on, I don't know,
the World Trade Center collapse.
Can't even imagine it.
That's true.
I mean, it is.
There's not a lot of, I mean,
although I guess that's why Pete Davidson
is in all of our lives.
Yeah, I guess.
His dad died in the World Trade Center attacks
and then he started joking about 9-11,
which is kind of how he became
famous, which is, again,
an interesting way to become.
famous. But I will say that that used to be central to pop culture and comedy especially.
Like you made fun of these things. I mean, you know, the dictator, right, was in the middle of all of it, right?
Oh, the dictator is, you know who the first celebrity, if you can call it that, that took on Hitler was Captain America.
First thing in America that took it on because the Germans controlled a lot.
of Hollywood. And because it just like China today, they were big movie going people. And if you
couldn't, if you couldn't put distribution into Germans, you know, what did you have? So nobody
wanted to take them on. Then the three stooges were second and Charlie Chaplin, the dictator,
was third. But those were all brave movies at the time. Yeah. Still, the dictator is still one of my
favorite movies. I love that movie. He is so good in it. I mean, it really really,
isn't something that used to be embraced
and I feel like now pretty much
isn't. Like it's just you're not you
and we can't say those things.
We can't even say the most...
I mean, what was the comment
the Candace Cameron Burey scandal
that's currently going on?
The what?
Candice Cameron Burey.
She left the Hallmark Network
and she went to,
what is it called the American?
Family thing or whatever.
Greater American family.
I don't know.
Oh yeah, because aren't they
cannibalizing the Hallmark?
I think she was saying basically
it was a little too woke
over at Hallmark.
Yeah.
And so she left.
Big Christian.
And she's just getting pounded for it.
Because someone asked her like, well, you know, are you guys going to have same
sex relationships in your Hallmark movie?
Or you're, they're so branded.
I know.
But your cheesy Christmas movies that you're going to make.
And her response was like, look, we're going to be focusing on traditional families.
Like, so she didn't even rule it out.
Like, she just said, like, our focus is going to be traditional.
Oh, I want to make a movie for them.
Let's make a Christmas movie for them.
That would be great.
It would be great.
It would be really good.
I'm an expert of those movies.
I know Pat is as well.
I know you are.
I mean, we watch them all.
I said, it's such a bad day that I found myself turning into my parents.
I came into the house.
A TV was on.
It was on the Hallmark channel.
And I sat there and I watched it.
Yeah.
And I watched the whole damn thing.
And my wife came home and she's like, what are you doing?
And I'm like, these two should be together.
But he's with the wrong person.
They're too focused on business.
That's right.
And he came from New York because there was a funeral in town, and then he stayed.
He was trying to help the family business get back on his feet.
And his high school sweetheart was there, and he can't decide whether to go back to New York.
And do I stay now?
And surprisingly, he stayed.
And if it wasn't for that town manager, everything would be fine.
I love all of those.
I do, too.
But, you know, saying that you're going to focus.
on traditional family structure is why everyone's lighting her up and saying she's a terrible
human being. Now, I don't know of anyone who's going to like out magazine and saying, why aren't
you guys focusing more on streets? You know, right? It's a niche, right? You know, it's a niche,
right? There's niche programming. There's nine zillion channels. Can we have some that tell different
stories? It's not niche. It's not niche. Families, no, families. That is, that's the niche.
It is now.
Right.
Family.
I mean,
every show,
you would think that 80% of the population was gay or, you know, identifying as a deer or, you know, whatever.
Yep.
And you're like, wait, I don't, this doesn't reflect.
Wait, what?
Right.
But, like, you should be able to, like, black entertainment television.
No one's like, why aren't you guys talking about the white issues of the day?
Right.
No one, no one says that to them because we all understand.
No one, you know, goes to, I mean, people go to ESPN.
all the time and say, hey, talk more about sports, but no one would say, hey, why aren't you
talking about tax policy more? Like, they cover sports, right? It's, it's, it's, it's a ABC Disney,
so they're supposed to cover sports. They're probably saying that, right? They're probably saying
that. But I mean, you should be able to have, you should, she wants to have a creative venture
based on things she thinks are interesting and important. But you can't now. You can't.
You can't. Nope, that's not allowed. If you don't want to do movies that are gay centered,
then you're just a terrible bigot.
a horrible person.
So that's what they're, you know, they're going to bash her the rest of her career now.
She doesn't seem to care.
I mean, she doesn't.
We really are at a point to where I heard somebody saying, you know, it's just these bigots that are.
And I just laughed.
I'm like, that's all you got?
No impact.
That's it.
Yeah, they've just destroyed it.
Which, as we said before, that's a problem for real racism.
It is a problem for realism.
You're calling everything.
racism when you're like, no, this, I'm telling you, this guy is really racist.
We should not be around this guy.
Who's going to listen?
Who's going to listen?
No, it does.
You become immune.
And I know, I know this because we've been doing this national radio show for now, I
don't know, a thousand years or so.
And at the beginning, I remember, like, when people would say terrible things about
you or they'd say, you're a Nazi or a racist or all these things.
It'd be like, oh, what are you talking about?
There's no evidence of this.
and we go, but we try to disprove it.
Like now?
I mean, they say it 500 times a day.
I don't even, it doesn't even, I don't even wake up for it.
No.
It's nothing.
They say it all the time.
None of it means anything.
It never has any impact.
Well, you have, you, there has to be a part of you, the individual, that gets over it and doesn't
care about it.
And when you're there, that life is much, is much better.
Yeah.
Until they introduce ESG and then they can institutionally crush you for their lives.
Sure.
By the way, our thoughts.
prayers and yes that's meaningful go out to Jay Leno and and his wife apparently one of his
cars exploded which they tell me cars can do I who knew it's pretty rare though yeah you don't
normally have cars explode but you don't you know also usually have like 200 really old
you know like throw another log on the fire on the Stanley steamer you know
A lot can go wrong with those things.
True.
And he really works on them himself.
Like he's in the garage.
He gave us a tour of his garage years ago now.
Nice guy.
Super.
Like the nicest guy who like I just remember him with your son, Rave.
When he, you know.
The Bugatti.
Yes.
The Bugatti story.
Jay Leno garage Bugatti story with Rave.
Oh my gosh.
It was my life flashed in front of my eyes.
Yeah.
But he's a super, super nice guy.
And, you know, like, this was his passion.
He's turned it into now a whole thing, or the shows that he does about his garage.
What's so weird is Jay Leno's garage on CNBC?
Never seen.
I've never seen it.
You've never seen it?
No, I've never seen it.
I haven't either.
Really?
I've seen the video.
I watch his videos.
Oh, online.
You should never watch it on CNBC.
Yeah, but I think the show is kind of different, isn't it?
Don't they?
Isn't it more produced?
And I just like him standing around the car going,
and that's what it is is.
And you're like, wow, that's the most beautiful, spectacular defibrillator I have ever seen.
And I don't even know what a defibrillator is.
It's true.
But he has a lot of them.
He's got a lot of them.
He's got a lot of them.
And we wish him speedy recovery.
He is a remarkable man.
And not that we are friends, he has treated me as a friend multiple times.
And back in the day, I used to appreciate that.
Now I don't really, you don't like me?
What's on what's on the Hallmark chat?
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We're glad you're here.
Amy Nelson was on the special last night.
You can get it at YouTube.
Also at Blaze TV.
It's really important that you watch it.
If you have Blaze TV, you get the,
whole thing. YouTube does not have the last section, which is the question and answer from the
audience, and they were really good, good questions. We have a transcript of all of it because it has
answers in it from the attorneys and Mike Lee and everybody else. And you can get that transcript.
Just sign up for my free email newsletter. It gets you all of the show prep, which today I got,
I'm getting to about six of those stories out of about 65, gives you everything you need.
It's better than the morning newspaper or any place.
You can get it now.
It comes out every morning.
The morning email from me.
It is my show prep.
And in tomorrow's, you will also get the transcript of that last hour.
So you have all the facts in their exact words.
Amy Nelson is somebody who has experienced the collusion between big government and big business, pretty much like no one else that I know.
Amazon made claims that her husband did something illegal, although they were never told what that
that charge was supposed to be.
They met with the Department of Justice over and over and over again and tried to convince
the Department of Justice to charge him with a crime.
They never did.
Yet, the Justice Department came in and took every penny.
they had took their bank accounts.
Went as far as I think taking his father or his father-in-law's bank account took all of her bank
accounts that were just in her name.
The family was left penniless.
They decided to fight.
It's not over yet.
Believe it or not, this began while COVID was happening.
And it could happen to anyone.
So you know, all these victims, they're not.
not necessarily, you know, MAGA people or even Republicans.
Amy, who I find delightful, was a bundler for Barack Obama.
So there wasn't a political reason.
There was a reason, and the reason is Amazon was trying to avoid a $100 million judgment
or penalty against them on something else, so they cooked the books and tried to make,
at least that's what it appears to be, that they cook the books and tried to make Amy's husband the scapegoat,
why spend $100 million when you could destroy this one guy for maybe $10, and you save $90 million?
Amy Nelson, do I have the story kind of accurate in a summary, Amy?
You really do. It's pretty remarkable, Glenn, because it's a long story and can be complicated.
So I so appreciate you coming on the program, and I appreciate the fact that you and your husband,
with four children, you had to sell anything that you were left with.
You had to sell the house because you couldn't make the mortgage payments.
You didn't even know how you were going to feed your family, but you moved in with relatives, right?
We did.
I mean, we early on, look, I think, you know, when my husband was accused of a crime, it was
totally shocking to us.
We had no idea where this was coming from.
And we also, I'm a lawyer, but I had been a civil lawyer.
I didn't really know a lot about criminal law.
And so we just were in this position where we were trying to learn as we went.
And we were just making decision after decision to try to stay alive and be able to fight.
I didn't even know civil forfeiture was a thing in America, to be honest.
I didn't know that the government.
Maybe you shouldn't have been bundling for Obama because we talked about it on my show.
Maybe I should have been listening to you.
Maybe.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, no.
I know, it is, it is, like, you know, it is like, it's definitely, I think this is really,
awake.
For my own politics, and hard.
Yeah, it's been an awakening.
And it's, and for me, really, I look at it and kind of the incentive.
Like, why would these prosecutors help Amazon?
And I think the answer isn't that complicated.
I think most prosecutors leave, leave the federal, leave the Department of Justice,
and they go work in private practice.
And who's going to hire them?
Me or Amazon?
Amazon is.
Right?
So, you know, I think, like, the revolving door in,
Washington is really what I've been thinking a lot about.
I have not, I didn't know the numbers.
The numbers you threw out last night on the special, pretty staggering about the number
of FBI prosecutors and DOJ officials that are being hired by Amazon, why would they need all
of those people?
But I think, because of your experience, we know why they are.
I think they want to have a close relationship to the Department of Justice because the
intelligence community is Amazon Web Service's biggest client, right? So the more of a relationship
they have, you know, the more likely they're to continue making a profit from selling products
to the government. But I also think, you know, and this is just my opinion, but if you have a
Department of Justice that is focused on antitrust and thinking about breaking Amazon up,
antitrust falls within the Department of Justice. So if you're like, no, no, we're your friends.
You like us. We're your colleagues. That's a better look than having the Department of
has come at you for antitrust.
Right.
So did you get your money back yet?
We did, actually.
So we got our money back in February of 2022.
So the government held our money for 20 months.
So for 20 months, we had to figure out.
Hang on just a second.
Closed your bank accounts.
Closed your credit cards.
So you couldn't use your credit cards.
It took your money out of your accounts.
I mean, it was all of it.
You had no way to buy anything, correct?
I mean, we didn't, other than the fact that we were both still working.
So after they, you know, they took everything on a certain date and then we kept working.
I will say both Carl and I lost work because of this because it's a very sensational public allegations.
Sure.
It's hard for me, right, because I'm not accused of anything.
Right.
And it's not fair that impacted my husband either.
Did you lose friends?
We did, and that was really hard to.
I mean, I remember once I accidentally got a text from a woman talking about me that wasn't meant for me.
And it was someone I thought was a business colleague and a friend.
But, you know, I did lose friends and Karloff friends, but we also figured out who our friends were.
There's nothing good about going through something like this, but we have been surrounded by so much love.
And, you know, we have faith.
And so that's really helped get us through this.
So you said that you've seen the effects.
and not just in your story, but take us down the road of this collusion between the government and Amazon.
Yeah, so, you know, I, and in my own kind of deep search for like how the hell did this happen,
I was figuring out, you know, kind of looking into the relationship between Amazon and the Department of Justice.
And I was like, I just figured out by going on LinkedIn how many people they were hiring from the Department of Justice.
But then I started looking around on the Department of Justice website.
and was able to piece together that over a two-year period, Amazon had referred over 36 criminal
investigations to the Department of Justice.
And I thought, is that normal?
And I went around and looked and with Walmart, you know, one of the other largest companies in America, it was two.
Wow.
And I, and that's just stunning to me.
Wow.
And they also have, I remember in 2008, I had a call from a guy.
who was in Amazon, and he was overseeing some of their server sites.
And if I'm not mistaken, he had something to do with security.
And he said, he called me up off the air.
And he said, Glenn, whatever our federal government is doing with Amazon, this is not going to work out well.
And I said, what are you talking about?
And he said, there's a 10-foot trench just outside of our fences that 10 feet down,
goes all the way around our fences of our servers.
They're putting in all kinds of monitoring to make sure that nobody penetrates that.
He said, we're starting to partner with the government on information.
This can't be good.
I mean, I don't see how you can't think that they are partnering at this point, right?
I mean, you have the FBI and the CIA and the NSA.
they hire Amazon Web Services to hold the government's secrets in their data warehouses.
And it just seems like something the government should be doing on their own, not relying on a private
company, particularly one that is owned by a billionaire who owns media companies.
Yeah.
You know, like, it's weird.
Yeah.
And isn't the NSA, former NSA director on their board or?
Yes.
Yes, the former head of a national security agency is on the corporate board of Amazon.com,
as is a lawyer named Jamie Gorellick who works for a private law firm,
but who previously was the deputy attorney general for the United States,
and she mentored Merrick Garland.
It's all just too close for comfort for me, personally.
I mean, and I don't mean it, I'm not joking about this.
I mean this sincerely.
Liberals were right about one thing, and conservatives were wrong.
you should worry about these giant corporations.
I always thought that was crazy because who would want to say, you know,
who's out there building a business?
I want the government more involved in my business.
I never thought that would happen.
But, you know, the liberals were absolutely right.
I just don't know why they don't see it now.
It is something I think about all the time, Glenn,
in that, you know, you made a good point on your show the other night
talking about how, about putting some.
someone in prison, if you ban on in prison for defying Congress, when no one's done that in 60 years.
And I see on a progressive side, people being gleeful about it.
But what I want to say to progressive is, you know, this can set a precedent.
And so when it's a Republican in charge, they can do the same thing.
And you won't be very gleeful about it.
Yeah.
We shouldn't look at our constitutional rights as partisan things.
We should hold them dear for all of us, regardless of our politics.
And I think we've lost that.
Yeah.
I don't know how and I don't know why.
I do. You should listen to me some more.
I have been. I have been. I'm going to say it now.
So, Amy, what is the biggest thing you learned out of this that you feel you should
pass on to other people? What should they know?
And the thing I want to pass on to other people is that, you know, if you are accused of
something that you didn't do, particularly by people who seeming to have more power and
more money. A lot of people will tell you to be quiet. But I think that's wrong. I think the only way
to hold power accountable is to speak out. And I think you're safer when you do speak out too.
And so I would encourage people if they are being deprived of their rights, that they are being
accused of something they didn't do to try to talk about it, to try to get people to listen.
Because that's the only way, I think, to protect yourself and to drive change and to make sure
it can't happen to other people. Because if Amazon can do this, it's a playbook for every
in America. And that is terrifying. Amy, are you concerned at all about retaliation for
being on the show or continuing to speak out on this? You know, I am, but I also will say, Glenn,
that, you know, Jeff Bezos is out there publicly saying he hires like Gavin De Becker,
the former, I think, in Spook, really, you know, for his personal security.
Hang on, hang on. I've had Gavin De Becker as my.
my personal security for a while. They're not anymore, but yeah, I know, I know, I know.
You know, it's terrifying, but I do feel safer speaking out publicly. And I just, I actually found
out last night because I used social media a lot. And Andy Jassy, who's the CEO of Amazon, we have
a number of friends in common. I mean, I personally know Amazon's general counsel, David
Polsky, which has made all of this, you know, more painful for me. However, I did find out
last night that Andy Jassy blocked me on Facebook. I'm just this mom in Ohio and the CEO of Amazon,
a trillion-dollar company, firstly blocking me on Facebook.
That's fantastic.
Amy, thank you so much.
You go back to court, I think, in January, right?
Or is it?
So, Carl's trial, my husband's civil trial with Amazon is in May.
May, okay.
I'm very much looking forward to getting this over with.
I bet, and we can't wait to talk to you and celebrate with you when you win.
Thank you so much, Amy.
Thank you so much. God bless.
Thanks.
Amy Nelson, you find her as one of, just one of the four that are speaking.
out another guy who was really the star last night, got a standing ovation when he started
talking. It was amazing. A dad who lost his two sons because his wife said, no, this son is actually
a daughter and the court sided with him and now they're in California.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. A special last night. And it was about the
targets of tyranny. And there's a lot of them now, you know, up to 84-year-olds that are being
arrested and manhandled by the FBI in an overnight raid because they were praying in front
of an abortion clinic. This is happening everywhere. You know that the FBI has targeted
parents who are speaking up in front of their school board. Well, have you thought of
What happens if my kids are taught at home things that they disagree with in school?
What happens if my kids start to buy into this crap and I'm not supportive of it?
Could I lose my kids?
This was one of the subjects last night.
We had four different people, the couples, usually this guy is a father of two.
his name is Jeff Younger and he lost custody of his twins because he would not transition his son
and he had pretty compelling evidence that his son didn't want anything to do with it.
He was so incredible standing up for his son.
He's working three jobs now just to be able to pay the bills and all the legal bills.
His son is in California.
His ex-wife moved him there and that way, you know,
The state of California is protecting.
Can't bring the sun out if he wants to transition.
He says he doesn't.
Jeff Younger is joining us now.
Hello, Jeff.
Hi, Glenn.
How are you?
I'm better than you are.
I think, well, no, I don't think so.
You stood up on the special last night, and you said, I said, you know, how are you doing this?
And you're like, I don't care.
I'm doing whatever I can.
I'm working three jobs because I'm trying to save my children.
You have been a juggernaut in standing up, and it has got to have cost you friends and untold amount of money.
Jobs, you know, political relationships, you name it.
So, but, you know, it's your son.
I mean, this is a thing.
This is not, I have a big thing, Glenn, I don't like to make a virtue out of necessity.
You know, this is my son, and this is my duty to my son.
And it's what any father would owe their son.
Any father owes their son what I'm doing.
So give me the highlights again.
For anybody who didn't see the special, we did a produced, you know,
package with video of your son and everything else.
It was amazing.
Where your son was, how old, three, four, when he started trying to transition him at two while we were still married.
Two.
At three, he was telling me that his mother was teaching him that he was actually a girl.
And if you go on YouTube and just search for Mommy says I'm a girl, you'll find that video.
It's on, you know, hundreds and hundreds of channels.
That began, you know, obviously a whole bunch of litigation.
The psychologists that the courts have appointed have systematically lied to the courts.
For example, during the divorce, the psychologist told the courts that she was not tampering with my son's gender identity
and was not trying to transition him to a girl.
and said that I had made a false accusation against her,
and they gave me less than standard possession because of that.
They have just systematically lied,
and the courts have tried every which way to transition my son.
And I think what's going on is my son doesn't present as a girl with anyone except his mother,
with me and everyone else.
He's just a normal boy.
And that's true at school, right?
He's told his teachers, he's told the courts,
I don't want to be a girl.
I'm a boy.
Yeah, he told the court appointed counselor four times, and she didn't react to him.
And when he recorded himself on his Apple Watch telling her that he doesn't want to be a boy and is embarrassed to wear dresses to school, she actually threw him out of her office and initiated a CPS investigation against me.
The eighth in the CPS investigation, these people have, you know, have sit my way.
Absolute power.
Yeah, absolute power.
And, you know, all that costs money.
It all costs time.
It costs a lot of stress.
It puts my children through all kinds of stress.
And the courts just don't care.
I think the left calculation is that if you can get a boy who doesn't present consistently,
like he only presents as a girl with his mom, if you can get that boy, you can get any boy.
And I think that's why the left has coalesced around this case as the spearhead case.
Yeah, I know that when this first started, we talked about it on the show because you're from Texas.
and you'd think any, you know, you would think Texas would be pretty strong on this, but it's not.
And you never know when it comes to cases of divorce.
But I will tell you the video that we showed last night and your story, it is very compelling, very, very compelling.
Your other son doesn't address your son as a girl, won't use the girl's name, right?
Yeah.
you know, he asked me at one point.
We had actually been out hunting rabbits, and we, you know, we were just piled into the shower,
so we cleaned up and go eat supper.
And he just pointed down at James's private parts and said,
why do they keep calling him a girl?
And at that time, I was actually enjoined by the courts from telling either one of them
that James was a boy or a girl.
So I said, well, I read you from the book of Genesis to the creation of man and woman every night
before you go to bed.
So what do you think?
He said, well, that's a boy.
So Jude's problem is that he knows he's being told to lie about his brother.
And I think it's really harmed his moral development and his moral education.
He's asked me time and time again.
You know, I'm not supposed to violate the Ten Commandments, but they're telling me to lie.
So when is it okay to violate God's law?
He's actually asked me that.
So what happens in California now?
Because you're not allowed anytime, right, with kids?
Yeah, I'm not allowed any time.
In order to visit my children, I have to travel to California to an undisclosed location,
and then I have to pay for a visitation in California.
So it's going to cost thousands of dollars to see my sons for just an hour.
To write them a letter, I have to send that letter to the amicus attorney that's appointed in the case,
and he will forward my letter on, and it's going to cost me about $100 per letter that I send to my son.
Their goal here is to terminate my parental rights without terminating them.
In Texas, only a jury can terminate parental rights.
And what they want is to take away all my rights, but keep me paying child support
and not terminate my rights.
Because if this went in front of a jury, they would lose.
So this is what the judge has basically done.
She's obviously talked to judges in California and arrange to move this case over there.
Now, California has a bill called Senate Bill 701.
and the four days after that bill passed, my judge, Mary Brown in the 301st District Court in Dallas County,
allowed my ex to move to California after that bill passed.
And that bill requires California to take emergency jurisdiction over my son.
They will never return him to Texas.
They will not even obey subpoenas from Texas courts and give any information about James.
So I'm going to have to go into federal court and challenge that on the full-facing credit clause of the Constitution.
And we'll probably wind up at the Supreme Court over that.
Jeez.
This is what it takes to be a father today in these family courts.
This is, I mean, this should chill people to the bone.
Because if it can happen to you, it can happen to any of us.
This is just, this is setting the groundwork and the precedent for, yeah, it can be done.
Absolutely.
James is the spearhead case.
And the fact that he only presents as a girl with his mom, like it's very limited.
It's very clear that he's being coerced.
But they've reasoned that if they can get this boy, they can get any kid they want.
So what advice do you have, Jeff, for other parents?
Do not voluntarily waive your rights in court.
Always assert your rights.
Don't let their courts take away your ability to participate in the political process.
That's the first thing they always try to do.
They'll try to get you to waive your rights to petition the government.
for redress of grievances, to waive your rights to speak to the legislature and try to get
laws passed, and to waive your rights to cooperate with your fellow citizens to change the laws
and the social customs. So you have to assert those rights, and you're going to pay a price for it.
So I would suggest that people start learning, particularly on our side, we have to really think
about this. You have to be cancel-proof. If you're with one of us, you're going to have to be
cancel-proof. How is that? How do you do that?
I have multiple streams of income, and if one of them gets canceled, I'd just go pick up another.
You know, it's, it's my, my father was the dumbest person I knew when I was 20, and by the time I was 30, I couldn't believe how smart he got.
I know.
That happens.
My father told me this when I was a young man.
He said, listen, if you run, if you're running your own business, even if it's a small business and you have 100 customers and you lose one, you just go get another one.
But if you're, if you're an employee, you have one customer, and if you lose that,
customer, you have no income. So you need to make yourself with multiple streams of income so that
you're cancel-proof. People can't get rid of you. And that way, you're free to speak up and you're
not afraid. It's something we don't talk enough about on our side, I think. That's one of the reasons
that I can't speak up. Well, I have done this. I made myself cancel-proof. But you can't speak up because
you actually, you're violating a court order just being on the program today. And of course,
what you did on TV with me last night.
You could go to jail for this conversation,
but you're actually kind of hoping that that's the case, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
I mean, I've said a lot of times.
Like, there's a lot of things worse than going to jail.
Going to hell is one of them.
And I want to go to jail because I want to challenge the constitutionality of these
illegal gag orders.
And by creating a precedent in the 5th District Court,
they won't be able to do that in Dallas County anymore to anyone.
I can end it for everyone if they're going to be.
will only send me to jail. That's why they won't send me to jail. I keep telling them to send me to jail,
but they won't do it. But they did issue a gag order, and it was pretty significant, right? I mean,
who can you talk to, or who did they bar you from talking to? Everyone. I'm barred from doing
any newspaper interviews, video interviews, podcast interviews, radio interviews. I'm barred permanent
lifetime ban from writing any newspaper article, writing a blog post, writing a social media post,
authoring a podcast, doing any kind of video work. I can't do that myself. I'm banned from talking
about political topics. Here they are. Cisgender, transgender, transgender, gender expansiveness,
or whether my sons are boys or girls. I can't talk about any of those topics. And that was
specifically tailored to prevent me from going to Austin, Texas, and speaking to the legislature,
I was an invited speaker by the Senate and by the House. And they did not want me to go and speak there
on behalf of a law to make this child abuse in Texas. And so that that, that, that, um,
gag order was specifically designed to silence my political speech and talking to my legislators.
And I just refused to follow it. So you spoke there.
I spoke there. Yeah, multiple times. I'll be down there again.
this session. I'm getting. I'm actually getting an apartment in Austin so I can be there full
time. It's amazing that a judge would issue something that she knows has no teeth, no teeth.
Otherwise, she would be enforcing it. Boy, if you don't get the lesson, your local judges,
we should probably learn who those guys are for the vote. I mean, this is really important.
This is really important. And I'll tell you some of the challenges here. One,
is that judges usually won't tell you what their judicial philosophy is during campaigns.
And they hide behind the judicial canon saying they can't talk about particular cases.
Well, we're not asking about political particular cases.
We're asking about philosophy of law and your philosophy towards litigants.
They won't answer those questions.
That's number one.
Number two, I don't think a lot of people know that, you know, this is America.
We don't have secret courts.
Anybody can go watch a trial.
and once a quarter, I always watch a federal criminal trial, a state criminal trial.
I visit family court all the time myself, but also go to my local civil courts and look at one civil trial.
And I do that every quarter, just to see if my judges are administering justice to my citizens properly.
Boy, I tell you, they picked on the wrong guy.
Jeff, thank you so much.
We will continue to follow your story.
you get any blowback at all for being on the program or what you did.
Please let us know immediately and we'll have you on again to talk about it.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate all your hard work for freedom.
Thank you. God bless.
