Starting point is 00:00:00 60% of the vans on Amazon come a vendor independent like SAC Magic. Hello, here Camille, our comprise, show of fraud are fabriced in Quebec, and our presence on Amazon enlarge our clientele
Starting point is 00:00:10 to the world entire. Trouvee to small like another on our own.com. Hey, today's podcast, it's a really good one. We first talk about what is true and what is not
Starting point is 00:00:21 with oil and gas and give you a different perspective on a barrel of oil. What are you willing to pay? How high of a price? willing to pay. Also, we kind of go into, Putin's kind of a bad guy,
Starting point is 00:00:38 but we're also seeing things here in America being used against Putin that will be used against us. And then finally, we have a very astute lawyer, federal lawyer that does a lot in Washington, D.C., and has been watching a court case of a January 6th victim, a guy who I think actually might be guilty of some bad stuff and should probably go to jail if he is guilty of that. But he's just been disappeared and his rights are being violated.
Starting point is 00:01:13 It's over a year now and still no trial. Is there anything such as a speedy trial in America? We'll have that for you coming up. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, there's even a bigger paper shortage. that is coming. Three of the big paper manufacturers in Italy and others around the world
Starting point is 00:01:48 completely shut down now. So there's a paper shortage coming. If you haven't gotten the book, The Great Reset, it is now available in hardcover right now, wherever you buy your books. Go online to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or whoever books a million
Starting point is 00:02:08 and order a copy now should be in Costco and Walmart as well. So grab it now. Did it in hardware stores? Any hardware stores at all? Like Ace or, you know, the place with a helpful hardwareman?
Starting point is 00:02:26 Why would it be? Do you buy your book? Because I thought it was available pretty much everywhere. Yeah, wherever you buy your books. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I rarely buy my books at hardware store. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Pat Gray is joining us now and I'm beginning to regret it already. By the way, tonight I'm going to explain. on my Wednesday night special at 9. I'm going to retell the movie Titanic except the Russians and oil prices and an economic weapon of mass destruction, the iceberg.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Okay? And Jack still hasn't found his way to a safe door or anything floating in my version too. He still dies with that witch on the door going, don't they go, Jack. Oh, my. Anyway, we'll explain the world by using Titanic. Tonight at 9,
Starting point is 00:03:09 don't miss it. Right. After a brand new, Stu Does America and hours and hours after the Pat Gray show. Hours and hours, literally. Yeah. All right, good. So, Pat, what's on your mind today? I've got a couple of things that would be stuck in my craw if I had a craw.
Starting point is 00:03:27 But, of course, I had my crawler surgically removed. Right. Don't even know what it is. Years ago. So, but there's a couple things. We've all been expressing, well, you and I and some others in the industry have been expressing a little bit of uncomfortability, awkwardness with this all in for Ukraine thing. I mean, I don't want anything bad to happen to the citizens. The citizens are good. The citizens are good. The citizens are good. The government traditionally
Starting point is 00:03:51 has not been. What do you mean by that? And there's a member of parliament that was on Fox yesterday that kind of explained what exactly it is Ukraine is fighting for. Okay. For the rest of us that aren't Ukrainians, I think the world, quite frankly, Kira, is surprised by the will of the Ukrainian people to stand up and fight. Are you? Well, I'm not surprised. I, we have been fighting Putin for the last eight years, and we had three the revolutions in our country when we did not agree with what was going on with the direction of where we're moving in. But right now, it's a critical time because we know that we not only fight for Ukraine, we fight for this new world order for the democratic countries.
Starting point is 00:04:39 We knew that we are the shield for the Europe. We knew that we are protecting not only Ukraine. We are protecting like all the other countries that would be next. Right. Wait a minute. So the New World Order, do you have a problem with that? I do. You know, you don't think that the people of Ukraine are out there in the streets thinking I am fighting for the new world border.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I can't wait to bring on the Great Reset. I can't wait. Yeah, you know who she is. She's a member of parliament. Yeah, but she's also a member of the world. economic forum. Now that I didn't know. So that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:05:13 She's more the New World Order. Really talking about the Great Reset. We are also fighting for the Great Reset. Yeah, I didn't know that part. So, you know, we hedged it a little bit on my show when we were talking about it. Because if maybe she doesn't understand New World Order. No, she does. No, she does.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah, she's part of it. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so maybe that's why we feel a little bit on edge on this whole thing. Yeah. Yeah, some few things don't make sense. I'm not fighting for the new world. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:40 No. That's not something I'm on board with. Although Vladimir Putin is. He's fighting against the New World Order. He is for... He's fighting for a totally different New World Order, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's fighting for...
Starting point is 00:05:54 Correct. He's fighting for his national world order where it is nation states and Russia can just take all of those states that they want. This is national versus... international new world order. The reason I care about this is because we have an alliance with a bunch of countries
Starting point is 00:06:16 that are one country away from Ukraine. I also care obviously for the people of Ukraine and the obvious human stuff. But as far as U.S. national interest, that's the concern. I don't want Russia to grow. I don't want them attacking
Starting point is 00:06:31 freaking Estonia and draw us into a war with Russia. So this is why our president and our Congress, Senate, on the Democratic side, for sure, and some Republicans, they're not representing you. They're representing now, I don't know, Europe, or they're representing the Great Reset, or they're representing the Ukrainian people, but they're not representing you. If you want to say we have a moral responsibility to help the people in Ukraine, I disagree
Starting point is 00:07:02 with that. I don't think we do have a moral responsibility as a nation. Maybe as individuals and people, we do have that responsibility to see it, to say something, and to help in all we can. But the moral responsibility for our leadership is to make sure that the United States of America remains stable and secure and that its people can actually continue to move on with their lives. So you strengthen the United States and then you can help more people. What they're doing is helping Ukraine and Europe and everybody else and hurting us just as badly. That's not a group of people that represent me because that's suicide. I don't want to engage in that.
Starting point is 00:07:57 And meanwhile, they're building it on a house of lies. And nobody is correcting their lies. Joe Biden's speech yesterday was incredible. It filled with nothing but lies. Yeah. Nothing but like, first of all, he blamed Russia because of the rising oil prices, for the gas prices. Well, the price has risen for the last year. Ever since he got into office, it's been rising.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Right. The Ukraine situation is going on for two weeks. So some of it, you know, it's gone up the last few days because of Russia and Ukraine. But it's gone up mostly because of him. and his policies. Yeah, I mean, I remember, everyone was like, oh, you know, if this stuff happens, and we could see $5 gallon gas in California. Before any of this Russia-Ukraine stuff happened, I was in California and saw $5
Starting point is 00:08:47 a gallon gas. It was there before any of this stuff occurred. Of course it was. And now it's at $7. Now we're actually higher than the fictional gas station from the movie I Am Legend. Do you know this? Oh, my God. Remember the zombie apocalypse?
Starting point is 00:09:03 The world collapses. And at one point, Will Smith is, you know, getting something off the ground. In the background, you see like an Exxon mobile sign. It's like 663 for regular. And now it's at 6.71 for regular in parts of California. So worse than the zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's not bad. Good job, Joe.
Starting point is 00:09:21 That's not bad. That's not bad. But, you know, it's all because of these oil companies. Yeah. They won't drill. They could drill if they wanted to. They got 9,000 leases. I heard it from the president.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Which is down from 37,000 under Trump. 37,000. No, no, no, no, no, he didn't cut any of that. Yeah. No, he said yesterday. I know he said. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Yeah. He said, in fact, we're going to pump, we're going to pump another record this year. Yeah, because Trump started the rebuild there. Yeah. He inherited. Right. And so that kind of spilled over into his administration. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:57 And we're still down from the end of 2000. And by the way, they're, yeah, they're comparing it to his first year. Donald Trump's first year in a year. office. I noticed that. I love that. I love that. I love that.
Starting point is 00:10:05 suffering from the Obama years. Yes. Yes. So he ramped it up, got it to 2019, which was much higher than we are now, because of course, this obviously has been reversed. They bragged about reversing it. The whole thing they did, they came in the first day and signed all of these things to
Starting point is 00:10:19 stop oil production, and now they're denying they did it. Not true. Here's the energy secretary, 2021, cut five. The energy information administration, which is inside the Department of Energy, but as independent. It predicts that we are going to turn the corner in early 2020 in terms of pricing at the pump. See, they knew. They knew.
Starting point is 00:10:42 They knew. They knew. They knew. Now, remember, we weren't having a problem with gas prices, you know, until January 20th. And the president is sworn in. We have no problem. Nobody was talking about gas prices. We were fine and we were energy independent for the very first time.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And explain for a minute the 9,000 oil leases because there's more to that than meets the ear as well. So when you have a lease, gas companies, oil companies, they go to the United States and they say, you have all this land and we think there might be oil in this section. And we would like to apply for a lease so we can explore it. So they get a lease. and for like a five-year period or whatever it is, they can go and explore it. I don't think it necessarily means you can pump it. It means you can explore it, okay?
Starting point is 00:11:40 Yeah, because you need the permit as well. Yeah, to pump it. And I could be wrong on that one, but I don't have the permit, but they do have the lease. Right. And so they have the lease. But that lease does not mean that there's oil or gas there. They wanted to explore to see if there was.
Starting point is 00:11:57 They may find no gas or no oil. They may actually find oil or gas, but it would be way too expensive to pump it out. So they still have the lease, but they're not pumping on it because it's too expensive or there's nothing to pump out. It wasn't economically feasible to get to any gas oil that was there. Correct. Yes. And that's why the 37,000 number is so impressive because that means he was allowing them, okay, you got to dry well here, go. go find another one somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And that's why they had 37,000 leases because they were moving around trying to find the oil and successfully finding it and pumping it. Doesn't their own rhetoric here, though, ants show how much they're lying? Right? Like, for example, they are the ones saying
Starting point is 00:12:44 this is the greatest existential threat to all of humanity. But now they're arguing they're not limiting it. Like, wait a minute. You've been telling us forever. Everyone's going to die because of this product. So you weren't limiting it? What were you doing?
Starting point is 00:12:59 That's a great point. And then he say, hey, these oil companies are the most selfish, profit-driven, money-hungry, terrible. They're going to do everything they can to screw the American people. And all they want is money. It's all they care about. They don't care about human lives. All they care about is money. But they have 9,000 leases.
Starting point is 00:13:18 They just don't want to get the oil out right now. They don't want to make the money from those 9,000 wells. Does that make any sense? No. If they're so evil. evil and money hungry. If there was oil there, they'd be drilling for it. Let me just play one more cut because remember,
Starting point is 00:13:34 Joe Biden said he was going to do everything he could, everything he can to make sure he drives down the price of oil. He's going to do everything he can. Here is cut five. Gas prices, because some things are. Gas prices relate to a foreign policy initiative that is about, something goes beyond the cost of gas. And we're about 3.30 gallon most places that now, when it's up from, was down in the single digits, I mean, single day, a dollar
Starting point is 00:14:04 plus. And, and that's because of the supply being withheld by OPEC. And so there's a lot of negotiation that is, hello, there's a lot of Middle Eastern folks want to talk to me. I'm not sure I'm going to talk to them, but the point is it's about gas. production. There's things we can do in the meantime, though. Do you think there's a, I mean, do you see, do you have a timeline for gas prices of when you think they may start coming down? My guess is you'll start to see gas prices come down as we get by and going into the winter, I mean, excuse me, into next year in 2022. Yeah. I don't see. All right. Stop. It did, it didn't work, obviously. And he said, I'm not sure I'm going to deal with
Starting point is 00:14:49 those people. Well, yesterday they went hat and hand to Saudi Arabia. And Saudi Arabia said, yeah, we're not interested in talking to you. So all that help from Saudi Arabia. Thank you, Joe Biden. You did a really, really good. Gosh, you remember just a year ago when the entire Arab world seemed to be united against Iran,
Starting point is 00:15:13 getting along with us and Israel? Those were the days. Thanks, Joe. Let's go, Brandon. This is the best. of the Glenbeck program. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Remember, what was it? Yesterday, two days ago, we had a Mississippi representative on and he said about, he was talking about the tri-state compact. Just got a note from him, said, we're in committee right now
Starting point is 00:15:54 killing the tri-state compact. That is really good news. Apparently, people have called in in those three states and said, no, we're not doing it. Please look for these things in your state. All kinds of things are being passed and you don't know about them. And they are restructuring America entirely. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:21 There's another bill that you should be very well aware of. Chip Roy is here. Congress has to pass a spending bill by Friday. to avoid a government shutdown. Let me hang on just a second. Let me pause for a minute to think about all the bad things that might happen with a government shutdown. Okay, that's enough time. I'm over my morning now.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Let's go to Chip Roy. Hello, Chip. How are you? I'm doing great, Glenn. How are you, my friend? I'm good. So now this has to pass by Friday, but you got the spending bill last night to it. this morning, 2 a.m.?
Starting point is 00:17:02 Yeah, that's exactly right. Just so your listeners understand what's going on, right? You'll remember that there was a continuing resolution that was passed in September to December, then December to February 18th, then February 18th to March 11th, which of course is Friday. At every point at that, along that line, we conservatives have been saying we should be doing something to fight for the American people, like in vaccine mandates, like stand up or border security. We've got nothing, nothing at all, obviously, for Democrats, but we're, worse, nothing from Republicans.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Well, now here we said, and now Ukraine is going on, and now the entire establishment in D.C. is all a Twitter that we've got to pass this funding bill so that, one, we can pass a supplemental, basically war funding bill, even though we're not quote at war, to go send stuff to Ukraine. And with no debate, by the way, and then pass a funding bill for the overall government. Now, we're not just passing a CR. are. We're passing an omnibus appropriations bill, okay, that packages everything together and spends a crap ton of your money or borrowed money. Yes, we got the bill last night at 1.30 in the morning. It was emailed to us at 2.30, to be clear. So we woke up early. Some of my
Starting point is 00:18:14 staff is getting at the middle of the night. We're looking through it. It's 2,700 pages long. It's a $1.5.12 trillion annual spending level bill. That is the best I can tell about an 8,000 billion dollar minimum plus up from last year's spending level not counting ukraine glenn that's just 88 billion of overall spending increases both defense and non-defense i think it's more than that but that's the bare minimum increase we're trying to figure it out that's at least a six percent increase but i think the increase is closer to eight to ten and we're trying to figure that out we don't know we don't know on what well right we're going through to figure out all the levels when do you have to vote on this i got what we're going to vote on the rule. We just made a motion to adjourn to shut the place down, which we will,
Starting point is 00:19:00 we will lose, but we're just trying to buy time. And then we will vote on the rule sometime this morning and then vote on the bill in a few hours. Nobody's even read it. No, it's 2,700 pages. All the appropriators will tell you that all the appropriations staff and all of the appropriator cardinals, they've all looked at it, Glenn. Yeah. Those handful of people will tell you how our country should be moving forward, not your elected representative. Okay. Tell me, tell me what's what's in this. Anything on oil and gas? So there is not one thing to the best of our knowledge. We're searching through it that will help American oil and gas improve.
Starting point is 00:19:35 All right. One thing. COVID. COVID Vax mandates. Nothing in there to end the COVID vaccine mandates. Now pause. We're hoping that Mike Lee will force a vote on an amendment in the Senate. But remember last time he did that, Mike Lee and company, I'm sorry, Mitt Romney and company walked out. But right now, there is nothing in the bill in the House that we're voting on today, to the best of my knowledge, that does anything for American oil and gas that does anything at all to end the vaccine mandates, and then nothing to truly secure the border of the United States. Now, what my Republican establishment colleagues will say is, oh, don't worry, Chip, we're going to give more money to ICE and Border Patrol. Well, Glenn, you know the truth. You're a Texan. You know what's going on at the border.
Starting point is 00:20:23 If we give more money to ICE and border people... They're going to process more people. They're going to not prosecute bad actors. They're not going to stop fentanyl. They're not going to stop the cartels. They're literally going to process more illegal aliens coming to the United States in the false name of asylum. There is $15.6 billion in supplemental for COVID. What the hell does that mean? We don't know. My staff is trying to forget exactly what that means.
Starting point is 00:20:55 There's like slight good news is apparently that's offset out of previous COVID money. But whoopty do, it's still another $15.6 billion that's being refocused and targeted towards we don't know what. But I can promise you the continuation of BS COVID forced policy. like the masks that are still interfering with our kids, the vaccine mandates that are harming our folks. They'll say it's for research and stuff, but Lord only knows. But it's going to be 13. I think, $6 billion of Ukraine supplemental funding plus the $15.6 billion of COVID supplemental funding on top of the 15 point, whatever the hell I've lost the number, $1,2 trillion. I'm sorry, $1.5.1-2 trillion total package.
Starting point is 00:21:39 All right. So let me ask you, when it comes to the the Ukraine spending? What are we spending it on? Well, again, peeling that back, there's, I believe, it is roughly two-thirds lethal aid. I don't know for sure, where we're going to be funding additional, you know, stingers and, and lethal aid to the Ukrainians. And then there's an X amount of it. I think the other third or so is for humanitarian aid. We'll know those numbers for sure here soon reporting over it. What stops us from passing just that separately? Well, the politics of this town, right? I mean, now, I haven't seen or the actual votes called or whether we'll get a clean, straight up vote on it. I don't believe we will. I think it's going to be packaged with,
Starting point is 00:22:27 I think we're going to have two votes, one on the security portion, which includes defense appropriations, Homeland Security, and I think this supplemental. I'm not positive about that. I'll find out for sure up, I'll tell you, I'll send it to your team. And then a separate vote on the non-defense discretionary bill, I think. But the bottom line is they're doing this all today, to jam it all through, I suspect all together, because they want that to be the case, right? They don't want to be able to have a separate debate. We should be debating our Ukraine funding, right? You and I are both horrified, I want to speak for you, but horrified by what Putin is doing. I gave a speech last night on the floor of the house about what he's doing to orphans and children and families and
Starting point is 00:23:11 separating families and blowing up bridges and blowing up schools and apartments and harming people. He's a thug, a KGB dictator who's killed people. But I want to know what we're spending this money on and are we at war or not. I want to know what we're going to get out of this. I want to know when we're spending this money, where's it coming from? This is an offset. This is another $13.6 billion. What are we going to, we didn't debate it, Glenn? Not one debate on the floor of the house. Not one in a quiet chamber. Meanwhile, a handful of people in smoke-filled rooms upstairs, well, not, you know, smoke-filled anymore, because that's not politically correct, but upstairs in a dark room making decisions for all of America. So, Chip, how many Republicans
Starting point is 00:23:57 are willing to stand? I mean, now is the time to take a stand and to show America who you really are. you, the vast majority are like, we got to do it for the Ukrainian people. I'm not sure yet. I'm going to be blasting the hell out of it all day. I know that my Freedom Caucus colleagues largely oppose it. I don't know what the numbers are ultimately going to be right now. I'm going to just give you a target line of 50-50 in the House Republican conference, but I'm not sure. I think people are kind of watching this unfold. They're peeling the bill back. Not one Republican should vote for this bill. Unfortunately, a large number will, and they will do so falsely in the name of going out and helping the Ukrainians when in fact they're using that as a beard to continue to grow and develop government. And they always have excuses as to why that's okay.
Starting point is 00:24:55 We have to do that, Glenn. You don't understand. We have to do that, Chip. We know what's important here. Look, we don't have the majority. When you give us power, then we'll have puppy dogs and rainbows and we'll be the fiscal conservatives that you guys have been asking for. you won't show me show me right now that you are um i would recommend that everyone calls their congressman and their senators today right now and say i have a very long memory this omnibus spending bill
Starting point is 00:25:28 that you have to that you have to pass i would rather have the government shut down then pass something that none of you have even read you have you haven't been you have even read it. Uh, no. No more crazy spending like this in the middle of the night and tell them you can debate the Ukrainian, uh, money. Go ahead. Everything that's going, you just have a debate on it and you could pass that today.
Starting point is 00:26:03 You could pass that tomorrow. But that does not, I'm not that stupid. I'm not this stupid. I know what's happening and I will remember you. I'm voting. I vote for people like you and I'm going to campaign for people like you. But if you don't stand right now when it's pretty easy because you're not going to, your vote won't matter.
Starting point is 00:26:30 If you won't do it now, you certainly won't do it when you have power. And if you won't do it now, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that I work for your competition. I work for the candidate running against you. And if nobody's running against you, I might run against you. Because we need some courage right now. You call your senator and your house member and you tell them that right now. It's the omnibus bill.
Starting point is 00:26:57 They're going to pass it in the house today. So you've got to call them right now and then it'll head over to the Senate. And by the way, make sure you call the wheeze. the Romneys in the Senate who will not stand up against this, won't stand up by any stretch of the imagination, and won't support Mike Lee. Good God, the guy won't even support Mike Lee in an endorsement because his good friend is Egg McMuffin or whatever his name is.
Starting point is 00:27:31 And it's, I mean, the guy is weak and pathetic. Make sure you call those senators and your congressman now. Chip, do I have to have? have it covered. Is there anything else that people can do? Hey man, you got it. You got it covered. This is exactly right. Everybody out there listening. Glenn is exactly right. You need to light everybody up. Do not let your Republican leadership, your Republican representatives, who claim fiscal conservative, who claim to fight for you, get away with this crap. This is crap. You need to call them out on it. Light the phones up and let them know this is unacceptable.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah. And do the phone. Please don't, don't email them. They can dismiss emails, but the phones make a difference. Thank you so much, Chip. I appreciate it. God bless you're going. You bet. To a representative, Chip Roy. By the way, just $1.5 billion,
Starting point is 00:28:16 another $1.5 billion at a time where our inflation is out of control. No, no, no. These Republicans make me sick. You know, this country should be run by the Freedom Caucus. You're listening to the best. of the Glendek program. I want to tell you a story that I know you know, but it is important that we really reflect on it.
Starting point is 00:29:06 It was January 6th. January 6th, Matthew Perna entered through an open door in the U.S. Capitol. The door was open. He walked through the Senate wing lobby, chanting USA USA. He left 20 minutes later. He recorded all of it on his phone. After returning to his home in western Pennsylvania, he sat down and started watching TV and he saw a bulletin with his face on it. Matthew did the right thing.
Starting point is 00:29:41 He called to turn himself in. He called the FBI without knowing that people he knew had already done that for him. In December, he pleaded guilty to charges of obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting. entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly conduct in the Capitol building. They are all misdemeanors except for federal obstruction, which holds a penalty of up to 20 years.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Matthew sentencing was scheduled for a couple of weeks from now, April 1st. Now, he may have faced a fair trial in court. The court of public opinion and the Biden administration mainstream media had already ruled against him. He was a traitor. He was a terrorist. He was worthy of being turned in by his own friends. He was publicly ridiculed by major voices as a threat to democracy. You know how this ends for Matthew.
Starting point is 00:30:55 He won't be present for his sentencing because he took his own life on February 25th. After his death, his lawyer said, The government had recently announced an intention to seek an additional sentencing enhancement with Mr. Pernah. He was psychologically frail and not able to deal with the stress of the situation. He hung himself. In his obituary, his family wrote, Matthew Lawrence Pernah died on February 25, 2022 of a broken heart. His community, which he loved.
Starting point is 00:31:30 his country and the justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life. The constant delays in hearings, the postponements dragged out for over a year. Because of this, Matt's heart broke and his spirit died. No one can really understand or know the mind of a suicide victim. It's an act of insanity. You just want everything to stop. And you've convinced yourself things would be better for your family and everybody you love. if you were gone.
Starting point is 00:32:13 If we take his family at their word, Matthew lost so much faith in America and our justice system that suicide seemed a more reasonable thing than going to court. The story of his broken faith hit Americans hard when they heard it, but it sends an ominous message
Starting point is 00:32:42 about the state of our union. We now no longer trust our own. nation to deal justly with us. Violent criminals released without bail. I just saw a sentence for a guy who just completely beat almost to death this elderly man. He's got an ankle bracelet. He's back out.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Illegal immigrants bust across the country in the middle of the night. And yet there is a collective silence for the rights of the January 6th defendants. We hesitate as people to stand up for the January 6th defendants because we don't know exactly what they were charged with. We don't know who they are, which is weird, isn't it? People notice the double standard. They feel it. And we can't ignore those fears. If the goal of our Justice Department is to break the spirit of our political prisoners, then they succeeded in the case of Matthew Pernah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 But if the goal is, as their mission states, to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, then we've got a lot of work to do. For the guilty and for the innocent, we need real justice. But what we're getting now is social justice, and it will turn. If you're for social justice, it will turn on you in your lifetime. Let's see how you feel about it then. We need real justice, but if it doesn't come or doesn't come quickly enough, We need to keep our heads up. We need to be there for one another and ourselves.
Starting point is 00:34:43 We have to keep the faith. You have to know that you can make things better and that your voice, your life matters. Nelson Mandela was a political prisoner. And he was a bad guy. He was a communist. He was engaged in violent activity. But look at the difference he made. Look at the difference he made in the end.
Starting point is 00:35:14 James Comey came out with an op-ed. It was published in the Washington Post this week. And it was directed right to the FBI agents. And he said, we're a nation of laws. And the FBI is an organization dedicated to the rule of law. You have to support and defend the Constitution. We've always had divisive politics in the United States. But despite all the division, passion, and anger, we've never had something like January 6th.
Starting point is 00:35:47 I'm so tired of hearing that it is such a lie. Such a lie. In fact, I could. In fact, why don't I play the New York Times reporter caught by Project Veritas telling the truth, a guy who wrote about how scary it was, how difficult, how horrible it was. here he is talking to an undercover reporter from Project Veritas. Listen to this. It's like generates like stuff that is like so over at this point.
Starting point is 00:36:19 It's so. I'm so. The left's overreaction. The less reaction to it in some place. So over the top. Like me and two other colleagues who were there or outside. I mean, it's not in the fault. Dude, come on.
Starting point is 00:36:30 But you were not in any danger. Like you could tell how much fun we had in January. Oh, that's great. Are you allowed to have that much fun on doing it? I just want me morning. I know, I know. So if you're traumatized, but like all these colleagues
Starting point is 00:36:44 who are in the building, a little down there who's like, I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm so scary, I'm like, how, that's really the vibe. From them. I'm like, come on. It's not the kind of place
Starting point is 00:36:56 I can say tells me to man up, but I kind of want to you. You're like, dude, come on. Like, you were not in any danger. Got him Zola, and then Adam, both of the Supreme Court of Tavort. I'm going to stop it there,
Starting point is 00:37:08 because you can find this online, and I urge you to watch it. But this is a New York Times reporter that was reporting how dangerous this was. There's never been anything like January 6, yada, yada. But when he is talking to some young girl who's just asking about, wow, you were there, he was like, it was no big deal. We were fine. They're all overreacting. No one was ever in any danger.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Okay. So what's the truth on that? What's the truth? Well, Comey says that we, are a nation of laws and we have to charge people, uh, with crimes. We have to. And we can't decide which laws to, uh, uphold and which not. Americans decided it was okay to physically interfere with the election procedures set out in our constitution and laws. And it can't happen again. And he says, even if, even if you disagree, you have to enforce this law.
Starting point is 00:38:08 January 6 can't happen again. Whatever their politics, it can't happen again. Now, listen, he goes on to say, normally when you make a criminal case, you're thinking about personal deterrence or incapacitation to the main goals of criminal prosecution. That is, you're making a case to keep the bad guy from hurting someone else. But there are January 6 cases like that, and I suspect all agents agree that anyone who hit a cop or ransacked a room or conspired to violent sedition must be locked up. But January 6th investigation is mostly about something you might not like to think much about in your normal caseload.
Starting point is 00:38:45 General deterrence. It's about sending a message, a shockwave of deterrence. So future Americans, whether misled by a lying demagogue or rightfully concerned about the loss of their rights, never again assault the institutions of government. Now, that is not, that's not, that's not blind justice. That is not blind justice. I don't even know if that's legal. Do you hear about the Whitmer case, the kidnapping defendants? Gretchen Whitmer, apparently these guys were going to kidnap her,
Starting point is 00:39:29 and then I guess kill her or whatever. I thought this was really pretty serious until I found out that there were like 12 FBI agents there. By the way, the guy from the New York Times said FBI agents, undercover FBI agents were everywhere. I don't know who to believe, what to trust. I know thou that they have all signed a plea deal. They've all signed a plea deal, the Whitmer case, and they all have in their plea deal
Starting point is 00:40:01 that they testify that there was no FBI interference, that they were not influenced by the FBI. That's a really interesting thing. Kind of makes me wonder again about Matthew. I mean, you know, here he was. Here he was. He was ready to pay a price. And then they said, you know, there's a heavier price to pay.
Starting point is 00:40:33 And he couldn't face that. I mean, I guess we all have our breaking point. Don't let anyone break your spirit. Focus on restoration. We're not about burning things down. We're about restoring our nation's institution to their proper working order. We don't need a great reset. We need to unplug it and plug it back in.
Starting point is 00:41:02 We need to set it back to its factory settings. The software is all screwed up. It's all corrupted. So what do you do when your computer? You turn it off and turn it back on again and restore the factory settings. That's what has to happen. Our system is good and has taken many years and many men and endless amounts of effort and money and blood.
Starting point is 00:41:31 And we have become wholly disillusion, disheartened, distrustful. And when we do that, those who hate America get exactly what they want. We love this country and want it restored to factory settings. Did you see that poll that came out yesterday that 60, I think it was 67% of Democrats. If somebody came and invaded our country, they would run. They wouldn't stick around. says so much. Says everything.
Starting point is 00:42:00 There's nothing worthwhile. You can go to Canada and no big deal. That says everything. 67%. That should tell you something also about war in general. We are not the World War II generation. I've never seen a number like that in America that we would turn tail and run. And the number between of young males who would actually.
Starting point is 00:42:27 need to be fighting a war like this was terrible. I mean, it was, it's not even just party. It's youth as well. It's great that a bunch of 80-year-olds want to go out and fight the war. We love that. We thank them for that. Correct. But man, the people who actually need to be fighting it don't have any interest in it.
Starting point is 00:42:46 And how are you going to fight? I mean, will you just cave? Will we just cave? Because there's another battle that's coming. And it's a battle of ESG. It's a battle of being on the wrong side. You notice no BLM people went to jail, nothing serious, right? But if you were against the left, if you were a conservative, if you were for Trump, you've just been disappeared.
Starting point is 00:43:15 And they're trying to break your spirit. Are you strong enough to do that? Are you strong enough to be a pariah? See, fear is all they have. when you stop fearing them, you got them.
