Starting point is 00:00:00 It's never too early to plan your summer story in Europe with WestJet, from rolling countryside to cobblestone streets. Begin your next chapter. Book your seat at westjet.com or call your travel agent. WestJet, where your story takes off. American Made. There's a reason why American Made has always been something that we liked. It showed quality.
Starting point is 00:00:22 But it was also the independent spirit. It was the factory in our own towns. It was the people and our own families that, made these things. Well, we've lost all of that and we need to get back to it. And that's where American Giant comes in. Every metal rivet, every drop of ink, every piece of thread, every stitch, every cut, everything is made here in America. The American Giant Patch means something. When you go out shopping for Christmas and you're going to buy some clothes for somebody, get clothing that lasts is really top, top quality at an affordable price. It's American.
Starting point is 00:01:00 American-giant.com slash Glenn. That's American-dash-giant.com slash Glenn. Get them now. All right. We begin the program here in just a couple of seconds. Stand by. The Glenn Beck Program. Wow, there's a lot going on today.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yesterday, huge gathering on the mall in Washington. Very, very peaceful. I do want to point out that on that same day, Joe Biden gave another $10 million to or $10 billion to Iran, but don't worry about that. Nikki Haley wants everybody's name and San Francisco looks a little like China. So we'll be getting there in 60 seconds. Most of the time, the pain we live with, especially as we get a little older, comes from inflammation in our joints.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And it can start out small, slowly building over time, or sometimes it can just come on all of a sudden and be something that you have to deal with from then on forward. I know this to be true because I had it happen in my life and I never found a way to get out of it. Then Relief Factor came along and my wife made me try it because I didn't think it would work, but it did. Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight that pain.
Starting point is 00:03:35 It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors and it will help reduce or eliminate pain. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start Kit and 70% of them have gone on to order. it again and again. See how Relief Factor can help you. Their three-week quick start. It's 1995 and comes with Relief factors, feel better or your money-back guarantee. So give it a try. Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief, 800, the number four relief. Feel the difference, relieffactor.com. All right. So first of all, you know, $10 billion. Do you remember when that was real money?
Starting point is 00:04:11 apparently Biden yesterday went ahead and freed up another $10 billion for Iran. Now, let's remember that Iran just said, death to America is not a slogan that we chant. It's policy. Here's the State Department asked about, you know, I mean, they're a terrorist. State, what are you doing? When they do use it and they use $1 million to buy medicine of this money, that that frees up. Another million dollars that they would have spent, they would have had to spend on this, you know, without the scientific waiver.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I understand. So I understand the argument. I don't agree with it. And here's why. If they were sitting on that $1 million, they would use it for their destabilized. activities to fund terrorism and deny medicine to their people. That's the point I'm making. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:16 So to approve $1 million of, say, medical transactions to benefit the Iranian people, we believe those are benefits to the Iranian people that they would not have otherwise costs. Okay. So that's good. So we're just, we're taking, this is insanity. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley wants everybody's name, the government, you need to register your name when you go online.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Apparently, with the government for national security reasons. Cut four, please. When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms. Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing. The second thing is every person on social media should be verified by their name. First of all, it's a national security threat. When you do that, all of a sudden people have to stand by what they say.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots, and the Chinese bots, Chinese bots. And then you're going to get some civility when people know their name is next to what they say. Accountability. And they know their pastor and their family. I'm actually for this if it's not run through the government. If private companies say you've got to verify your name, we have to know who this is. That's fine. Private companies can do that. But we share too much information now with the government. So, I mean, it's a government agency almost. And I don't want to. And I don't want the government dictating. And I certainly don't want the government looking into the algorithms. I don't mind if it's an open source, but not given just to the government. And I think that's
Starting point is 00:06:51 what she was suggesting. I don't know. It's kind of difficult to tell what she's suggesting exactly. I mean, the policy seems to be, she said it was when the first thing she would do when she got into office. So obviously, number one, she's obviously thought about this a lot. It's not like a whimsical statement. And number two, it seems to have some government interaction because why would her being in office have anything to do with it? It was just some private policy. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:18 So, I mean, I'd say, I don't know. It's a weird take. Yeah, it is. Because I think you're right if everyone had their name by their social media. And I think Nikki's right. Yeah. It would make social media conversations more civil. It's true.
Starting point is 00:07:31 We might be able to get rid of the bots. And we might be able to get rid of some of the bots. Although we've seen, I mean, that was Elon Musk's number one. one priority when he took over Twitter and he has not done it. Yeah. So I think it's also very hard to do. Okay. So last thing is, I don't know if you've seen the streets of San Francisco, but they don't
Starting point is 00:07:50 look like they used to. First of all, it's the absence of all poop. And the second thing is it's the streets are lined with communist China flags. I mean, when you watch the motorcade come in. How? How is this happening? I don't know. I can't.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I don't know. When cruise. Chof came, we didn't line the streets with Russian flags. That would have been a warning sign to us that we were losing the country. But that's what happened yesterday. But California is so screwed up. There's a new report out. This is from the Washington Free Beacon.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Since 2017, California has spent more than $4 million of taxpayers' money on surgical sex changes and cosmetic gender affirming and, for 157 prison inmates, including four dudes on death row. Breaking that number down since 2017, when California became the first state to pay for prisoners' transition surgeries, California has spent $2.5 million on vaginal fake vaginas for 35 male prison. 35. Hundreds. I would have had more of a problem if you did know how to pronounce that.
Starting point is 00:09:12 That would have been the disturbing part of that. Anyway, hundreds of thousands of other dollars on fake breasts, laser hair removal, and facial feminization. 11 male inmates have received breast implants at a cost of more than 180,000. Two have received facial feminization surgeries for 184,141. 69 males have gotten laser hair removal for a total of 224,000. 40 female prisoners have had their breasts removed for a total of more than $1 million. Now, California has no limits on the type of procedure that trans prisoners can request. And to date, it has in line a thousand petitions from prisoners.
Starting point is 00:10:02 So this is just the beginning. It's limitless care, which kind of goes against California's health care for inmates. For instance, dental care, strict limitations, including not allowing root canals on back teeth. They won't pay for any cosmetic tooth restoration or replacement, or they won't treat oral ulcers. But they'll give you a new vagina. the cost of limitous gender affirming care is growing every day. Corrections agency officials this year requested $2.2 million in new funds just for gender affirming care. So this is a real problem.
Starting point is 00:10:53 California is pouring into this absurd system while their streets are covered in human waste, used drug needles, zombie-fied drug addicts. This is insanity. But I think we swore that word off yesterday, didn't we? I can't say, this story is insane. I don't think of me as what you think it means. I think you're right. But even more insane are the dangers of this type of enabling that it brings.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Minnesota just settled with a transgender man who claims to be a woman prisoner named Christina, who will now receive a massive payout of, almost $500,000 and will be allowed to move from the male prison where he should be placed in the state's women's only prison in Minnesota. So he's, I mean, you know, he's going to have access there to gender affirming health care and also real women. Hey, no matter what anybody says, you know, no matter what gender I am, I used to be a man, always a lesbian.
Starting point is 00:11:58 You know what I'm saying? I only want to have sex with women. Born a man, now a woman, born a lesbian, always a lesbian. Don't judge me, I was born this way. Oh, wait. No, that's not accurate anymore. It's fluid.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I'll get back to you. The trauma that women are now experiencing as men who are convicted of horrid sex crimes, they're entering the prisons, And it is swept under the rug or ignored. There was about a month or so ago. We got a call from a woman in California's name, her name was Linda. She volunteered her free time by visiting incarcerated women in the women's prison.
Starting point is 00:12:51 One of the inmates that Linda got to know and began mentoring was forced to room with one of these transgender men. After Linda began asking too many questions, I guess, her visitation rights were terminated due to, quote, significant safety concerns. Linda remained in contact with the inmate, and the things she shared with my staff are extremely concerning. This is from a California women's prison. According to Linda, after her visitation rights were terminated, she sent an appeal letter criticizing the prison for the actions
Starting point is 00:13:28 it took place. Later, the inmate Linda was mentoring reached out, claiming she was being forcibly removed from her jail cell because her roommate suddenly came down with a case of COVID and there was no place to put her except the hole where she slept on cement. We found this a little hard to believe. One of my producers reached out to the prison and officials confirmed it. Meanwhile, the transgender inmates are being treated with kid gloves. In another email sent to Linda, after the transgender inmate had complained about Linda's mentee being uncomfortable with him using a device that widens things up down there, the prison
Starting point is 00:14:23 staff opted not to remove the transgender roommate, but instead removed Linda's Mentee. So after requesting the removal of a man, claiming he was a woman, doing things that were very uncomfortable for Linda's mentee,
Starting point is 00:14:44 that was ignored and then retaliated against. All it took was for the transgender inmate to complain one time. One time, and it was over. We are being played for fool.
Starting point is 00:15:03 and I'd like to say this isn't normal but again you keep using the heart I don't think it means what you think it means back in just a second with more this year winding down and a new year is right around the corner
Starting point is 00:15:21 you need to be asking yourself what are your financial goals what is it you're doing to shore up your financial house where are the areas where you can save money more importantly where are the areas where you're not saving money if you're like most Americans now.

Starting point is 00:16:38 Ten seconds. Station ID. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program tonight. On Blaze TV, I'm going to reveal something the Obama administration lied to you about. For years, the left has hidden the true motivations behind the Iranian regime. They have cut sanctions. They have given them billions of dollars. They've unleashed radical Islamic zealous all across the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:17:14 And the Biden administration came in and picked up where our... Obama left off. The consequence of that, I believe, is October 7th. Foreign policy experts, the people currently sitting in the State Department, don't want me to show you what they have planned and what we have planned to show you tonight. I'm going to show you the apocalyptic plans Iran is executing right now. I'm going to show you their true motivation, how they believe their messianic savior, the 12th, the mom, is soon to come, and all they have to do is cause a little more chaos and a little more war. Everything I'm going to show you tonight is sourced from either the top intellectual minds in the country, the U.S. military, and or more importantly, directly
Starting point is 00:18:04 from Iranian leadership themselves. I'm even going to show you what is said in the Iranian Constitution. You're not going to believe this. I'll show you why Iranian leadership. I'll show you why Iran has decided to team up with Russia. There are specific reasons why. As we started doing our research on this a couple of weeks ago, we're like, we thought we would find something. We never thought we would find this. Let's just say Russia and Iran working together and using the same words like apocalypse,
Starting point is 00:18:39 Antichrist, End times. You'll never guess who they think the Antichrist is. You probably know who you think it is with Iran. Did you know Russia? Wait until you see the insanity. And we actually debated back and forth today or earlier this week. Can we show this stuff? Can we put this in the proper perspective?
Starting point is 00:19:07 So, because this is all propaganda for their people. But when you see what they're saying, there will be some here in America that will go, well, maybe. And we don't want to be a part of Russian or Iranian propaganda. But you have to know it. This is what they are telling their people and what they plan on doing. Don't miss the special tonight at 9 p.m. Only on Blaze TV.
Starting point is 00:19:38 9.30 Eastern on my YouTube channel. It's YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck. a match made in hell the chilling reason Russia and Iran are driving the West to war that's tonight at 9 don't forget to sign up
Starting point is 00:19:54 at blaisTV.com slash Glenn right after a brand new to us America I know it was coming I knew it was coming you know if I were a fiction writer
Starting point is 00:20:11 and surprise surprise I am a New York Times best-selling fiction author. If I were a fiction writer and I had a political and military character that I thought were evil but really competent, I think I could explain what's happening in the world. Imagine you were our most senior and advanced military planner. You're probably someplace deep in the bowels of the CIA or NSA or military intelligence. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:44 You believed, you believed to 99% certainty that the U.S. would be fighting a war with China by, say, 2025, 2027. I mean, you had the Navy admirals, you had our own chairman of the Joint Chiefs, tell us about all of this publicly. They had all been saying it. So you know what's coming. China's economy is now failing. China needs to invade Taiwan soon, or it will never be able to take them by force. So it's really kind of now or never. It's on the horizon.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Plus, you look at what Xi Jinping has done to his own party in the last two years. Huge purges of moderates and competitors and a massive buildup of their military, especially their Navy. So they go around the room and from the military intelligence to CIA, NSA, universal agreement, that's going to happen. Now, your job is to make sure we win. And you only have a couple of years to get ready. We don't have 10 years to prepare, everybody agrees on that. It's two years best.
Starting point is 00:21:50 So you ask yourself, if the U.S. goes to war with China, who's going to come in on their side? Okay. Iran, that's an ally who'd see the chance to finally defeat America and to continue to sell oil to China. China imports about 70% of its energy supply. lies. Much of that is from Iran via both sanctioned and illegal oil sales. Plus, you have Russia. Chance to weaken America, level playing field against American military. Now, you have to sit down
Starting point is 00:22:26 and war game this. Hmm. When the U.S. goes to war with China, we probably lose if we also have to fight Russia in Europe and Iran in the Middle East. We probably can't handle that. But what if? I'll finish it next. The Glenn Beck Program. Melanie lives in Georgia. She writes in about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, I was very skeptical of trying Rough Green's.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I was sure my dog wasn't going to eat it. Boy, was I wrong? My dog loves Rough Greens. Now he only eats the food that I put Rough Greens on, and he has so much more energy. than he used to. Thank you. Melanie, that is exactly what I found out with my dog. Rough Greens, excuse me, if you don't know, is not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead food. You want the green stuff. You name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens.

Remember, as an action adventure fiction writer,
Starting point is 00:24:32 if you had to figure out what the heck was going on in the world, and you didn't know that it was just, you know, progressives, early 20th century progressives that, again, for some strange reason, hate the Jews and love eugenics, you might say, well, wait a minute, what have we learned in the last few years? We have learned that we cannot take on China with Taiwan. We can't do that in peacetime, okay? There's no way to do it.
Starting point is 00:25:01 We are not prepared to do that. It's too far away from all of our bases, et cetera, et cetera. We've also found the endless wars are draining, okay? And we certainly could not take on. three fronts because you know the Middle East will be on fire. You know that Russia would get involved and China we would be fighting. So we can't do three fronts. So if you are really, really sharp and you love America and you believed what everybody was saying,
Starting point is 00:25:36 and you knew we couldn't let Taiwan go because we won't be able to make the supercomputer chips because Taiwan has the clean rooms and the highest quality to make all of the supercomputer chips. We don't make them. Taiwan does. We can't lose Taiwan. Okay. So what do you do?
Starting point is 00:26:01 You look at the, you look at everything and you say, okay, China's economy is failing. They're close, but they've just up to their spending with the Navy, et cetera, et cetera. and everybody knows this is going to happen. So you think, okay, how can we do this? Hear me out on this. You pick Iran because Iran can get involved. They want to defeat America. They continue to sell oil to China.
Starting point is 00:26:34 China imports about 70% of its energy supplies. Much of that is from Iran via sanctioned and illegal oil sales. Plus, China might promise to help Iran. ran finish their nuclear bomb, right? Then you have Russia, the other ally, that we would worry about. There's a chance they want to weaken America. In fact, a very good chance and level the playing field. They need to level the playing field, especially against our aircraft carriers,
Starting point is 00:27:07 and they need to also keep selling oil to Europe and to China. That's just the China is about half their GDP. Now, if you war game this, when the U.S. goes to war with China, we lose. But we also have to fight Russia in Europe and Iran in the Middle East. Those are three theaters of war. We can't handle that. But what? What if Iran and Russia could not come in on China's side in three years down the road?
Starting point is 00:27:42 Everybody looks at you and you're sitting there in the briefing room and you say, hear me out. what if Russia and Iran had already been taken out? What if they'd already been neutralized before we had to fight China? Everybody looks at you like you have lobsters growing out of your ears. We don't have any political support here in the U.S. for wars with Russia and Iran, especially in this election cycle. No way Congress would approve this. The administration won't approve that.
Starting point is 00:28:09 The American people wouldn't support it. You say proxies. We don't have to fight Russia and Russia. Iran. We get proxies to take them out for us. All they need is a little push and a ton of weapons. Just the right motivation and they'll take them out for us. The room gets silent and you're sitting there and you say, so who's dumb enough to fight two land wars in Asia? You smile and say, well, NATO can take out Russia. Israel can take out Iran. You have to do it just right.
Starting point is 00:28:49 NATO and Israel could never know we're using them like that. We can't just go out there and bribe them. They have to be so motivated that they'd risk their own survival and beep up their own military budgets to take Putin and the Ayatollahs out for us. We supply the weapons. They do the fighting. Everybody's in on the great game all of a sudden. The trick is we have to get Russia to invade.
Starting point is 00:29:16 How do we do that? Why don't we just say Ukraine is going to be part of NATO? That's been a red line forever. Everybody knows that. They'll feel threatened. Putin invades Ukraine. NATO will come to the rescue with guns and money. Ukraine does the dirty work, but we make sure they have enough to win.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Yeah, but Israel. Well, Israel's going to need to be attacked and much worse than ever before. Why don't we just release all of the funds? to Iran. So they have all of the money to plan an attack on Israel that is so large and so heinous that they'll be forced to use their own military to take them out, which will then force Iran to join in and then Israel takes them out. We just need the weapons, guys. Because we need the weapons in three years when we're going after China. And all of our weapons are outdated and old.
Starting point is 00:30:17 We need a whole new generation, but we have all of these weapons sitting here. And there's no way with cost overruns, you know, with everything that comes with giant military production, how are you going to get the American people to do it? Well, we'll just tell them the truth. We're out of armaments. And then we will have to rebuild our army. Maybe we could even convince China in the end if Russia and Iran falls. They have no real allies.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Don't take Taiwan. Thoughts. I think the only reason why I don't believe this is because I mean, we're evil enough to do it. But I don't believe it because I don't think we're smart enough to do it. I don't think there's enough, hey, we all love America here. Let's do, you know what I mean? Right. There's the evil, you know, generals and the war planners and everything.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I think there's enough of those in Washington, you know, the Lindsey Graham's that are like, yeah, we got to get them. At any cost, we get them. I think those guys exist. There's a lot of that type of stuff that you were talking about there where you throw things out like, well, and then Israel will take out Iran. Like, think of what that it looks like, right? Like these little assumptions that you make in one half sentence is like, hundreds of thousands, millions of people dead. What is the difference?
Starting point is 00:31:57 This is the way the elites always do it. They did it World War I, World War II. It's real time strategies. It's those old games where you just used to like drag your troops around and you'd have them attack the little base and then you'd rebuild and you wouldn't think about the little guys that are going in there and dying. That is the way this is thought about it. It's risk.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I thought of this. I'm reading a book or I was reading a book on JFK. I can't even remember the name of it. But it was the JFK assassination. And it's just documenting how many people hated him. Okay? They hated him. The military, CIA, he really had a problem with those guys, just like Donald Trump, really had a problem with those guys.
Starting point is 00:32:42 And he did not like the way we were fighting the Cold War. And he's like, we are not going to keep escalating this war. And one of the generals, I can't remember his name, but he was in charge of maybe NATO strategy or he was big. And he absolutely believed that thermonuclear war was inevitable. And he was pushing hard launch first. Launch right now. It's inevitable. So launch now.
Starting point is 00:33:16 They'll never see it coming. We can take them out. Launch now. this is not Cuban Missile Crisis Time. This is when he first gets into office. Launch. And he actually goes around Kennedy's back and is calling him weak for not doing this. I mean, it was a legitimate campaign inside the Pentagon to just launch our missiles.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Did you know that? I think maybe you've told it to me. I've heard it maybe once, but it's impossible to believe. And of course, these people, people, there's always somebody like that. I guarantee you think it's bad here. How many people are doing that in Russia right now? How many people are going behind Vladimir Putin's back and saying, hey, like, this guy won't even fire the nukes? I mean, they're giving weapons to Ukraine. They're killing our people. How is he not firing these things? There's a huge faction inside of Russia
Starting point is 00:34:13 who's pushing that hard line approach. And God forbid one of them wins an argument one day over vodka's who god only knows what happens wait until you see wait until you see what is what we're going to show you tonight about russia and iran and what they're actually doing and saying to one another and the language they're sharing with one another it is spooky it is they are they are serious yeah yeah and so i that's this is the this is the this is the this is the biggest worry, right? There's just this instability everywhere right now. It's instability combined with a bunch of really incompetent people who don't know what they're doing and don't know how to manage this sort of instability at the helm here in America. And you, of course,
Starting point is 00:35:07 have, I mean, our share of instability has been well documented here over the past few weeks, especially. So you put all that together and like, it's just at some point you wonder if it's all going to spiral out of control. So let me ask you, have you ever seen our government pay for hostages? I think the only time we did it was the Iran-Contra thing, right? I mean, off the top of my head that, I mean, that one pops to mine. I think so. There may be more.
Starting point is 00:35:43 So we had that one. But we paid, didn't we pay the Contras and they brokered the deal? So we weren't really paying Iran. we were paying the revolutionaries in South America. And they would kind of say the same thing now, right? I mean, they would kind of say, well, no, we're not really paying for hostages. We're in this program and this is going this. These dollars are going, you know, they always have some way of getting around it technically.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Have we ever, have we ever rewarded a terrorist state? Have we ever like another, I don't even know. I keep seeing reports that say billion and million and no, no money from the government. ever seems like real money. So I have no idea. But I think it's $10 billion. And we released it yesterday. The State Department did.
Starting point is 00:36:31 And they said, well, it's because it's for medical stuff. Yeah. What was their excuse? What? Well, they're going to do terrorism anyway. You know, they're going to find terror no matter what. So we might as well give them an extra $10 billion. Because, I mean, they really said they really did.
Starting point is 00:36:46 They're going to do this anyway. So it doesn't matter if we give them a bunch of extra money. What world does that make sense? Jeffrey Dahmer's going to kill Laotian teenagers anyway. So we gave him, we sent him over a bunt cake. Like, what, what are you talking about? That's not a good argument. He's not going to want a bun cake.
Starting point is 00:37:02 I've been pushing for the extra double-size refrigerator freezer. Bunt cake. I just feel like that's not a good idea. Like, just because it's like, you know, well, you know these people are really bad actors, so therefore the reward isn't going to incentivize more bad acting. So let's give them the reward. That's not a good argument. And you don't use that in anything.
Starting point is 00:37:25 No. It would be a terrible, terrible thing to do. And it is. And of course, we all know, as the Iranians last time we tried to do this pointed out to us, this money is fungible. It'll go wherever we wanted to go. They told us that. They said it publicly. Like they're going to give their people medicine.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Oh, that's a huge concern for them. They're really worried. You know what? Oh, gosh. Do we have enough robitussin for the population? I don't know. Their God says. wipe out Israel, bring the Mahdi back, and we'll start the end of the world war.
Starting point is 00:38:01 That's our top record. God is telling us that. Yeah, but we don't have enough Robotarson. Yeah. That's not a big concern for them. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Don't miss tonight's program on Blaze TV at 9 p.m.

Starting point is 00:41:39 No idea. I should probably look into that. I suppose we could see how many people ask for them. Oh, what are you going to do, not do it? Ah, you know, the turnout's a little low, lower than we expected. We're not going to do the covenant with God. You know, if we had, I don't know, 2,000 more people, maybe we consider it. Yeah, I think it's an insult.

Nobody seems to recognize 240,000 illegals came across

Starting point is 00:47:13 3117. It's promo code Beck. Okay. So, gee, Stu, Washington Post opinion piece, Donald Trump's advisors have declared that if he regains the presidency, he will launch an extraordinarily cruel crackdown on immigration. Is that how they talked about? They were like, hey, we're going to launch an extraordinarily cruel crackdown. That's those, those, those were their words. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Yeah. But the politics of immigration can be peculiar. The public tends to turn on a president in power when the situation on the, the border goes wrong. In political science jargon, these wild swings against prevailing policy is known as thermostatic public opinion. This is particularly pronounced on immigration given its, quote, fiendish complexity. Did you know that it was fiendish in its complexity?
Starting point is 00:48:11 The second term agenda for Donald Trump would revolve around what the New York Times calls giant camps. Yeah. So they didn't call it giant camps, but the New York Times called it giant camps. Yeah, the Post pointed out that the New York Times called it giant camps. Giant camps.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Giant camps. Well, they're detention centers, which this administration has built many of them. You know, nobody seems to care about that one. The Times reports that Trump and advisor to Stephen Miller envision a vastly expanded network that would facilitate the deportation of millions of undocumented
Starting point is 00:48:56 migrants, including longtime residents with deep, deep ties to communities. These camps would also enable Trump to dramatically scale up detention of people seeking asylum, which would be subject to shocking new limits. Trump would reinstate his ban on migrants from majority Muslim countries. He would invoke new legal authorities to pursue mass expulsions and enlist the military to help carry them out. Trump and his advisor see an opening to pursue these ambitions. They believe the record of new migrant arrivals because of factors throughout the Americas. And the strains that it is placed on Democratic cities mean the political environment on immigration is moved in his direction, as the Times puts it.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Undeniably, the public has soured on President Biden. handling of the issue. Voters trust Trump on it by wide margins. Gee, I wonder why that is. Wonder why that is. Could it be effectiveness? Might be. Might be. Might be.
Starting point is 00:50:00 You know, there was another caravan chanting on the bus. I don't know if you've seen the video. Biden, Biden, Biden. So there's, you know, we have that, we have that still coming on, which is, I think everybody's favorite. I think everybody's favorite. But they do say that when Donald Trump is in office and he starts to deport these people and he has restrictive policies and he builds these tents, people will turn on him. They will turn on him.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Well, the media will do everything they can to get people to turn on him. I think they're going to prefer an approach that, I don't know, talks about the rule of law. Yeah. Maybe I think they will prefer that. So I have to tell you, there is another story. This is in the Wall Street Journal today. This is an opinion piece that says we have to, the West has to, and including America, we need to take in people from the Gaza. Gaza, right?
Starting point is 00:51:09 We need to take some of these people in. No. No. No. No. What if they really like to come, though? No. No. If they ask nicely. No. What if they're going to- Let me think about it. No.
Starting point is 00:51:22 What if they offer, they make homemade bracelets? Oh, that's a... Artisanal... Oh, that's a different... That's a horse of a different color. No. Okay. No. Okay. No. Okay. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. And they're like, but Europe has taken so many in. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Have you considered, though, the fact that only 93% of Palestinians hold anti-Semitic views? I mean, there's 7%. All we have to do is just find the 7% and take those people and then welcome them in with their artisanal bracelets. No. So there's another story. Interesting perspective. There's another story in, again, the Washington Post. Now, I think this one is pretty important.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Okay. Don't worry, people keep saying. Donald Trump did just promise to root out the internal enemies who live like vermin in our country. But he only might be the next president. I don't mean to worry you, the Post writes. But people are running around with their hair on fire, saying they're suffering from intense, nauseating levels of deja vu. And those people are historians. Oh, now you listen to the historians.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I don't like seeing historians this stressed out. I know. I think about them all the time. I do too. All the time. What is the stress level of the average historian today? I wake up and I think about it. This is the first thing.
Starting point is 00:52:52 First thing. It happens all the time. True story. True story. Not a joke. Not a joke. Donald Trump said, I pledge to you that we will root out the communist, Marxist, fascist, and the radical
Starting point is 00:53:03 left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. that lie and steal and cheat on elections. Now, I don't really like the use of the word vermin. It was used by Hitler and his crew. So I don't recommend the use of vermin. As a political consultant, you're anti-verbin? No, pretty much as a human being. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Yeah, pretty strongly against that. You're advising a campaign. You're going to step in and say, hey, no. Maybe let's come up with another term for that. So people complained about it, obviously, and the post says, you know, when people complain, reporters said, hey, that sounds an awful lot like Adolf Hitler. Trump's spokesperson said their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House. Now, I mean, this has got to be intentional, right?
Starting point is 00:54:01 Oh. Like, they're doing this intentionally to piss the media off and get people fired up. And he's gaslighting the media, right? That's got to be what this is. this. He does this stuff. He did it with America First, right? America First was also a early 20th century fascist slogan.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Correct. And he knew it. He maybe didn't know it immediately. But when people told him about it, he knew it. And he just went doubled and tripled down on it because he knew it was pissing everybody off. Right. Like it was what he does. This is what he does with the media.
Starting point is 00:54:37 him. I mean, I'd have to listen to him, you know, say what his plan is for the, quote, vermin. But when anybody says, you know, we're going to exterminate, and that's not what he said. No. But we're going to exterminate the vermin. I take them at their word. I think you need to take people at their word. But he always uses crazy rhetoric. That's, I mean, that's who he is. That's who he is. And he does it often, at least. intentionally to get the reaction so that people, like, this whole spiel about how they're going to be so super duper tough when they get back into office sounds, it's written as an attack on the Trump administration, right? It's written as an attack on Trump. Trump will be so crazy when he gets into office that you won't even understand what's going on. My belief is that at least partially, this stuff comes directly from the Trump campaign. Because they know the New York Times will write it this way and they know
Starting point is 00:55:40 the reaction of a Republican primary voter is to say good good they're not going to let illegal immigrants overrun our country they're going to put they're going to detain them good that's what's supposed to happen you know
Starting point is 00:55:56 I mean what is the difference crime you're supposed to be detained that's what's supposed to occur what is the difference between calling people vermin and which I hate. I want to make that very clear. Very bad. But how many years were we called tea baggers? Okay. How many times have you been called a terrorist or a racist or a Nazi?
Starting point is 00:56:22 Or Hitler. Or Hitler. Because you believe in the Constitution of the United States. Because I believe strict adherence, by the way, now's a perfect time introducing a new t-shirt. This t-shirt is available at glenbeckmerch.com. On the front of it, it says 5 U.S.C. 3331. That is the oath of office, which is on the back. So this is great for any cop, any fireperson, anybody who takes an oath of office, every single politician. I've got two of them. I've got Ramoswamy and DeSantis on today.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I'm sending them this t-shirt. This is your oath. of office, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Now, that will be called by the left extremist. How? How? Honor your oath of office, not to me, not to a man, but to the Constitution. That's the problem with this.
Starting point is 00:57:30 And, you know, they do all of these things. They say, you know, he's like Hitler. Well, he's not the one that is pushing public-private partnerships. He's not the one that is going towards fascism. That is a public-private partnership with ESG and the WEF and all of that stuff. That is a new modern version of fascism. I mean, hello? You're cutting you, your president did a,
Starting point is 00:58:05 the spookiest presidential speech I've ever seen, where he flooded the backdrop in red, then had Marines around him and was talking about how dangerous people on the right are. Hello. Now, it doesn't excuse our side. I'm not playing what aboutism. I'm saying a little self-examination on both sides
Starting point is 00:58:29 would be healthy right now. Be very healthy. No, I mean, the only issue I have with that is that people are in such a calm state right now. They can always see through rhetoric and make proper, sober decisions. That's happening all over the country right now. That's why you need confidence. That's why you need certitude on things like the Constitution. You don't need to have certitude that you are right and they are wrong.
Starting point is 00:58:58 But on the Constitution, it's, I mean, you can have absolute certitude. It's written right there. Do those things. Don't do those things. And you need to have that certitude. And you need to be able to have your crap together enough because it's going to get scary. It's going to get very scary. I mean, just think about after the election the possibilities that are ahead of us.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Very frightening. You cannot be afraid at that point. Get all your fear out right now. freak out more in the country whatever you need to do get it out of your system because you need to be rock solid by this coming summer rock solid back in uh with more in just a minute imagine you're looking into business with a new company go to their website you take a look at their mission statement and here's what you read our mission is to passionately defend our god-given constitutional rights and freedoms and

Starting point is 01:01:37 the number is probably about 300,000. I haven't seen an aerial shot, but it was probably about 300,000 people on them all, 250 to 350 to a lot of people. I think it was the New York Times that didn't venture, I guess, at all of the number. One of the other mainstream media outlet said tens of thousands, which, I mean, I guess you could say there are dozens of people there. Yeah, lots of dozens. Lots of dozens, you know, thousands of dozens. could say that and still be accurate.
Starting point is 01:02:10 But boy, it just kills them, doesn't it? It does. Tonight on Blaze TV, I'm going to take you into a place that we have debated for a few days how to present this to you. Because what's happening in Russia and Iran that no one will tell you about, I can guarantee you our CIA, our NSA, they know all about this. You don't. And you need to because it is the propaganda being used against America in Iran and in Russia. And it's the same language.
Starting point is 01:02:52 They have bound themselves together in this mission to destroy America. And I will show you in their own words. It is frightening. The words are, they're using the same language over and. over and over again. They're talking about an apocalypse, the Antichrist, the end times,
Starting point is 01:03:15 both of them, to their own people. That's what they're preparing people for. Doesn't mean that that's what it is. But when you hear some of the language, you will be able to spot that language here in our own country as well. It's a really important special

Have you ever talked to somebody from the, you know, that lived behind the Iron Curtain or in China? And you walk up to them and they're like, oh, what's wrong with all of you people? What is wrong with you? there is a new book out called Mao's America, a Survivor's Warning. Mao's America. Shee Van Fleet is the author.
Starting point is 01:04:50 She says a cultural revolution is unfolding right here in America. And I have to tell you, those pictures from San Francisco yesterday, that was really disturbing. Do you think? You weren't? No, I mean, honestly, like looking at the streets of San Francisco with all sorts of Chinese communist flags. It seemed like more closer to the Constitution than they
Starting point is 01:05:12 normally are. They had to back off of their typical communism. You didn't say which constitution. So that's coming up next. Stand by and then Ramoswamy and DeSantis follows. Tomorrow, don't forget

Starting point is 01:06:59 Studios America and Glenn TV back-to-back tonight. Don't miss it. BlaisTV.com slash Glenn. promo code is Glenn. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Tomorrow is our covenant broadcast. You don't want to miss that as we get ready for Thanksgiving. We renew the covenant for the pilgrims, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, all made for America. Maybe we should turn our eyes back to God.
Starting point is 01:07:34 There is, you know, Xi Jinping is now in San Francisco because we cleaned it up for him, you know, so it's nice. what is happening in our country is truly frightening. We're doing things that I've never seen in America ever before. And that's one of them. Shevan Fleet is somebody who grew up in communist China. She lived through the horrors of the Cultural Revolution. She was a schoolgirl. And she was forced into the countryside, along with other young Chinese for re-education after high school.
Starting point is 01:08:10 she escaped communism, came to America. 30 years later, she sees the signs that are exactly the same as Mao's Marxist Cultural Revolution. She's just written a new book called Mao's America, a survivor's warning. She, welcome to the program. Thank you so much for having me back. Oh, you're welcome. I like talking to people who lived in. communism or under dictators because they have completely clear eyes on what we are seeing today.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Yes. You say that wokeism is Maoism with American characteristics. What does that mean? Yes. That's what I mean is that what you just said that you've seen things happening here you've never seen before. Yes. It's because you, like many, many Americans don't know what happened in China and what happened in Cultural Revolution.
Starting point is 01:09:20 And we know because we live through it. And that's the exactly same thing. Why I say Maoism with American characteristics, it's the same thing. The identical identity politics, cancel culture, weaponization of, you know, the young people, indoctrination in school. All this happened in China and happened to me. And it's a little different here is that in China, Mao used class to divide people and divide people into red class and a black class.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Basically, one is the enemy of the state and one is the ally of the government and the party. And here, they use something different. They use rape. and it looked like it's different, but it's the same. Well, this is... This is something that's the same. This is something that the communist learned in the 1960s when, honestly, the Beatles song Revolution came out and said, if you're walking around with posters of Chairman Mao,
Starting point is 01:10:34 nobody's going to listen to you anyhow. And they realized that class would not do it in America. They had to do it based on race. But tell me about the four olds. I don't think most people understand this. And this, to me, shows how close it is to the Chinese cultural revolution. Yes. That is a Chinese-style pencil culture.
Starting point is 01:11:03 And they are very specific. It is the old culture, old idea, old habits, and old custom. Those things are to be eradicated, to get rid of, to be destroyed, including statues, names of streets, names of stores, name of food labels, names of institutions all have to be changed to be politically correct. Why do that? Why do they do cancer culture? Because they want to replace the tradition with something new. And in China, that is Maoism. And here is Maoism with American characteristics. So Mao was much more open about what he was bringing in, wasn't he? I mean, here, they keep denying that any of this is happening.
Starting point is 01:11:56 And it's all there. We can see it, but they deny it. Mao was open and saying this is what the new China will look like. Yes. And that's the part that's the part that. is very deceptive. Mao had power. What he was doing is to have absolute power.
Starting point is 01:12:17 He was, he feared that he was losing control of the party. But he was in control. So he has to, he can be open about many, many things. But here they have to, to hide their true intention. Since they use this very well,
Starting point is 01:12:38 a very attractive, slogans and and then a lot of people fall for it and that is the problem with Marxism it gave picture a beautiful picture of what it stands for and people don't know they fall for it and I tell people we feel for it too in China and what we got we got slavery and we got really the absolute tyranny and that's what's going to happen here. So people wake up and how you wake up not to find out yourself. If you find out yourself, that'd be too late. And I hope they are wise enough to hear from people like me who lived through it and then really learn from history. So that's what we don't have here. People help us out
Starting point is 01:13:30 with this because I think Antifa, BLM, Social Justice Warriors on the campus, et cetera, et cetera, I think those are like the brown shirts or the red guards from China. But people will say, no, these are just honest people trying to X, Y, Z. What is the difference between BLM and TIFA and the social justice warriors and the Red Guards? Yeah, no difference because they're all indoctrinated to believe what they were told. And so Red Guards, you think they're just monsters? No, they were a lot of them from elite universities and middle schools, and they're from well-willed families.
Starting point is 01:14:21 They were not monsters, but they turned into monsters because of indoctrination. The first killing that took place during the Cultural Revolution was down by a group of young girls in the most prestigious... middle school in Beijing, and they were like 12 to 16. They beat, tortured, and killed their principals. And there's no consequence. And after that, killing become commonplace. And then why they go after their teachers?
Starting point is 01:14:53 Because they were told those in control and those in power were the ones want to take us back to the capitalism. And so for young kids, what are the people in, uh, people in, uh, in power. They're teachers, their principles. So they were the one, the first one to be the target. So here in America, you just said they weren't held and they paid no price for it. Here in America, our justice system has been completely dismantled, you know, defund the police,
Starting point is 01:15:29 all of this stuff. Crime is on the rise. It doesn't seem like anybody's punished. If you're on the right side, you're not punished. In China, did they do the same thing that they dismantle the justice system and the police? Yes, it's called smashing the justice system. The whole justice system, including police and the court were dismantled. And so there's no consequence.
Starting point is 01:15:54 No one can stop or dare to challenge the red guards. And that's the Chinese version of defund the police. So she I have been I've been talking about this coming for two decades almost now I know and it is it is now here
Starting point is 01:16:15 how much time do we have what period is this like in China how far away from losing it are we we are very very close actually we are losing but I
Starting point is 01:16:32 do think that there is a hope. And I, just three years ago, I was a quiet, shy Asian American. I don't share my opinion with people. Yeah, I was just quiet. I became a voice. And because I know if I don't speak up and stand out and to fight back, we're going to lose our country. And I do not want to leave under communism again. During my speeches across the country, I met all sorts of people, parents just like me.
Starting point is 01:17:10 Three years ago, they were quiet, never pay attention to school board. They never got involved in local politics or any politics. I met so many of them. Now they are committed because we cannot. They are committed and to fight, to save this country. So that's our hope. And that's exactly how we. save this country. We have to be. Did those people exist in China? No. Because if you wait by then, it's too late,
Starting point is 01:17:45 because those people don't exist because you can only find them in prison, in Gulag or in the graves. She, I can't thank you enough. What do you think just off on another subject? What do you think of President Zee's trip to San Francisco and how San Francisco cleaned itself up for that. I know. I just treated out. And then they have people welcoming him with a Chinese flag, which to me, that is a murderous flag. And I said, where are the social justice warrior protesters against the genocide by Xi Jinping of the Uyghurs, Muslims,
Starting point is 01:18:32 in China, where are they? They're not to be found. They're not to be found. Not to be found. Thank you so much. Shea, I appreciate it. Shee Van Fleet, the name of her book is Mao's America, a survivor's warning. She compares the cultural revolution to the cultural revolution here in America,
Starting point is 01:18:51 to the Chinese one. And it is well worth read and share with somebody that you know who maybe has a possibility of waking up. By the way, she was at the pro-Israel rally yesterday in D.C. So thank you so much. Shee Van Fleet, Mous America. Well, the day has finally come to close
Starting point is 01:19:14 and ease yourself down into the bed and stare up at the ceiling thinking about what tomorrow is going to bring. The answer is pain? Sorry, if that's the answer that you thought of. Millions of Americans deal with pain in their lives every single day and when you have it constantly every day you get up out of bed and you're like, I just, I don't know how I'm going to make it through today. Living with pain. I have an answer for

Join the conversation. 888727 back the Glenn Beck. 233 years ago, George Washington becomes president of the United States and he spends four hours in prayer right after his inauguration. He takes a bunch of people and he goes to church, walks down the street from where he raised his hand on the Bible, and then he made a covenant and made this covenant with God that we would be his people and his country and he would be our God.
Starting point is 01:21:03 That was renewed again by Abraham Lincoln. But also, when he first came in, Congress approached him and asked him to the same. set aside a day for a national holiday just to praise God. Now, this is before we have, you know, Father's Day, Mother's Day, all these other things. I think only Christmas. Maybe, maybe Christmas was a national holiday. So our first national holiday that he does is just to thank God. Congress comes to him.
Starting point is 01:21:37 And he said, it's the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to unite in most humbly offering our prayers and our supplication. to the great Lord and ruler of nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us to perform our several duties, to render our national government a blessing to all people by being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws to protect and guide all sovereigns and all nations, to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us, and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity
Starting point is 01:22:23 as he alone knows to be best. That is what established Thanksgiving. How far away from that are we? We are a covenant nation, and you can break covenants. I don't recommend it. God doesn't like to be mocked. But our pilgrims and these covenants last through generations. You're held responsible even if you didn't make it.
Starting point is 01:22:54 So it is the parents that made it are supposed to teach it to their young so they know we're a covenant people. That hasn't happened in quite some time. But that was well known at the beginning. Our pilgrims made it. Then George Washington, like I said, Abraham Lincoln. So tomorrow, something that has been on my heart for maybe a decade is we have to renew the covenant. I feel like the best place to do it is the place we gather every day here at this time tomorrow, about an hour prior to this, about 55 minutes earlier than where you are right now.
Starting point is 01:23:44 that's when we'll start tomorrow. And if you don't know about it, please just go and prepare yourself at glenbeck.com, sign up for our American Thanksgiving Covenant, the 15-day program. You can just look at all of these and just refresh and answer some questions yourself and then be ready tomorrow to thank him
Starting point is 01:24:09 and beg for his forgiveness and rededicate ourselves to the American covenant that is tomorrow in this hour the glenbeck program let me talk to you a little bit about my patriot supply stew has more than than soy sauce now which is what he started at he has duck sauce as well any fortune cookies in there i mean the fortune cookies are really tasty so those usually get eaten with the meal but you know there's always extra soy sauce they put in there so i've been saving that and that's how i can prepare for the apocalypse cake have you thought about taking another step. Maybe calling
Starting point is 01:24:50 like ordering more Chinese food? No. And then getting more of the spagling, you know, my Patriot supply. Do they sell duck sauce? They probably do actually, but they have a three month emergency food kit. Stu's going to starve to death. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:25:07 I don't think it's fine. I don't think that's the word for it. Well, you're right. You won't starve to death. We'll kill you and eat you. Not me, but those who live around you and have followed your example of nothing. in the cabinet to be ready. Get their three-month emergency
Starting point is 01:25:22 food kit right now. They also sell biomass stoves off-grid, room heaters, power outages come by and you need your water filter. They have heirloom seeds. They have all the survival gear you need at my patriot supply.com. That's my
Starting point is 01:25:38 patriot supply.com. Beavenue at board of Via-Rai. Embarked and profited. Embarked and relaxes. Ciro-te. Bookin. Oh, that also. And profite. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Starting point is 01:27:14 This is the Glenn Beck Program. Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We have a big hour for you. Vivek Ramoswamy joins us in just a few minutes. Talk about Central Bank, Digital Currency. And then we have Rhonda Santason, who is going to bring us up to speed on, hey, how do we not get into World War III?
Starting point is 01:27:38 That's all this hour, stand by. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It is preborn. Miracles happen every single day. 200 babies are being saved every day because of you from being aborted. You can't tell me that's not a miracle. Preborn offers free ultrasounds, so expecting moms get to meet their unborn child and hear his or her little heart beating.
Starting point is 01:28:05 But that's not all. They also offer these mothers the help they need. when choosing life. For a full two years, 60% of moms who have gone through abortion said they wish they wouldn't have done it, but they felt they were trapped. There was no support.
Starting point is 01:28:20 Well, let's make that difference. This all starts with a $28 donation. That's the price of an ultrasound. If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? Your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Preborn's entire network
Starting point is 01:28:37 for 24 hours, rescue 200 babies to donate dial pound 250 say the keyword baby that's pound 250 keyword baby or donate securely at preborn.com slash Beck that's preborn dot com slash Beck
Starting point is 01:28:51 Vivek Ramaswami how are you sir doing well good how are you I am well I'm coming down with something but but other than that great other than that great so Vivek let's talk a little
Starting point is 01:29:10 bit about CBDCs because you're coming out today, if I am not mistaken, with your digital currency policy. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's something that I think is important for us to understand as we go forward as a country, where are the threats to liberty? Where are they emerging? Because many of them are backdoor threats, Glenn. They're not the same front door threats of big government in the past. So you and I have talked for years at this point about the threats posed by the ESG movement and the capture of capital markets through ordinary dollars. Well, part of that whole agenda was about using the market to advance agendas that the government could not implement through the front door under the Constitution. Same thing as their capture
Starting point is 01:29:59 of big tech. Well, think about the combination of those two now when it comes to the capture of our own currencies. There's a push. the United States and in other Western countries like the UK as well to adopt what are called central bank digital currencies. Well, I'm dead set against it. The reason they're saying they want to do it is that China's doing it and that we need to catch up to them or else we're going to fall behind technologically. We have to ask ourselves why the heck China is doing this in the first place. And here's the answer. It's to be able to penalize citizens in their bank account with the ultimate social credit score, the amount of money you have in your bank,
Starting point is 01:30:38 if you're doing something that the government doesn't like, if you're engaging in speech or in a protest that the government does not approve of, like the white sheet revolution in China, for example, wiping out the amount of financial assets you have as a way of exercising power and dominion. So I don't want to see that happen in the U.S. And one of the things they'll say is isn't that going to lead the dollar to be less strong? No, it's actually the opposite. the dollar will be more strong if it is actually a currency that cannot be taken over by the whim of the government.
Starting point is 01:31:10 And so while I'm dead set against central bank digital currencies, I am for the rise of alternative currencies that people are able in a freedom-loving country and world to be able to avail themselves of a decentralized private cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, and otherwise that the government is threatened by. That's good. And I think that we should want more competition to the existing. system without the government regulating it out of existence. But what we should be against is the government creating a central bank digital currency of its own. And Glenn, I think these are new threats
Starting point is 01:31:43 to liberty, and I do think it's going to take someone from the next generation, if I may say, from my generation, to lead us forward to understand where the new threats to liberty present themselves, because it's not 1980 anymore. And we need to wake up to these new threats today. I will tell you, you know, I'm a fan of yours. That's not an endorsement. obviously, but I am a fan of yours. And I do like the fact that you are from a younger generation that sees what's coming over the horizon, especially with your background. So what do you, what do you suggest happens with digital assets? Because right now, you know, if I had Bitcoin, but I lost it in a boating accident, I wouldn't want to pull it out. Because honestly, I don't
Starting point is 01:32:33 know exactly the tax thing. It is such a hassle. And I think they're doing that intentionally to... Of course they're doing it intentional. Correct. Of course they're doing it intentionally. So Glenn, this is another example of the cancerous administrative state. If the people of this country want to vote through the front door and say, hey, we don't want this, we don't want Bitcoin or other alternatives to the dollar to be traded in the U.S., which I don't think most people in this country would ever say. But if they did, fine, that's the law of the land. But that's not the way it's working right now. It's the administrative state, those three-letter agencies, like the SEC, that are through the back door deciding that they want to shadow government utilize
Starting point is 01:33:15 legislating them out of existence, but not through the front door. So they're applying a set of regulatory standards that Congress never actually authorized to backdoor silence the new kinds of currencies that people use as alternatives to the U.S. dollar. And I think that that's a violation of the cardinal rule of our Constitution. The laws are passed through the front door, not through the back door. So what we need is regulatory clarity. It's shameful that you have a chairman of the SEC right now, Gary Gensler, who refuses even in his testimony before Congress to say whether Ethereum is or is not a security for the purpose of securities laws. Ambiguity is the friend of tyranny. And so when you have regulators that get to make up after the fact the regulations
Starting point is 01:34:02 that they're enforcing, that's what we're seeing in the energy sector. It's what we're seeing in the health care sector. It's what we're seeing across the U.S. economy. It's something that would make our founding fathers roll over in their graves. We're a nation of laws. And if you want to ban something, ban it through the front door. Don't use the regulatory shadow government of people who are never elected to their positions to do it instead. And so one of the things that I'm actually going to, I swear to oath to the Constitution. as the next president, Glenn, if I'm elected. Well, one of the things that the most important Supreme Court case of our lifetime,
Starting point is 01:34:33 it came out last year, was West Virginia versus EPA. And that held that if Congress has not given a three-letter agency the power to issue a regulation, but they're doing it anyway, that regulation is unconstitutional. Well, the good news is on day one of my administration. We rescind all of the regulations that fail that test. That's a majority of the regulations that are on the books today. day. And by the way, we're going to fire 75% of the people who are working in that apparatus too. That's how we restore our constitutional republic. And I know that might sound scary to
Starting point is 01:35:06 some people or extreme, but if somebody's not offering an extreme proposal or a proposal that sounds extreme, it means they're not really serious about taking on the deep state. And I think that's what it's going to take to get the job done. So you are announcing today, freedom to code, freedom to financial self-reliance, and freedom from regulatory overreach. That's right. And I'm going to be speaking tomorrow at the Bitcoin at the blockchain summit in Texas and offering what I think should be not just a Republican vision. It's a pro-liberty vision to say that, you know what, I'm the U.S. President. I want the dollar to remain the reserve currency of the world. Our national debt is creating a lot of doubt about that. But one of the best ways we do it isn't by
Starting point is 01:35:48 stifling competition to the dollar. It's by saying that we actually like holding our feet to the fire through accountability. So people who do want to opt out of that system by holding Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies can do so without fear of regulatory, fundamental regulatory tyranny. And I think that that's good for the U.S. dollar in the long run. It's good for our country in the long run. That's what Thomas Jefferson, he was a big proponent of financial self-reliance. That's a Thomas Jefferson, who was, by the way, 33 years old when he signed the Declaration of Independence, inventing the swivel chair while he was at it. These were innovators. And I think that the innovators who founded this country would embrace the exact policy agenda that I'm rolling out tomorrow morning to say that more competition is good, not bad.
Starting point is 01:36:32 And we shouldn't want these regulators choking currency alternatives to the U.S. dollar out of existence. So it's a little unfair because I haven't asked Nikki Haley to come on and actually explain this to me. But we're reaching out to her today. she just recently said that all the code for social media should be transparent. It's a little ambiguous if she meant it just for the government or for everybody. And the other is she, for national security purposes, believes everyone should have to be verified as a user. And your name should be your name on social platforms. What do you think of that?
Starting point is 01:37:15 That sounds like something Xi Jinping would say. And I think that there is a deep ideological divide right now in the GOP. And I think it's good for us to smoke it out. It's not an attack on anybody. And even people listening may disagree with me on this. That's okay. This is a good debate for us to have in our party. Do you want to go to the Dick Cheney version of the Post-Patriot Act surveillance state where, you know, our founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison, they wrote the Federalist Papers under suit them. I think you should have the freedom to do that in this country. It's part of what we're what it means to be free, especially in an increasingly tyrannical government environment. Nikki Haley disagrees with that. She thinks you should be required to actually identify yourself before you post something on the internet or online and disclose to the government for national security reasons. Anytime somebody's using those words national security for an infringement on liberty domestically, I'm dead set against it, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat saying it. Same thing when it comes to the questions of censorship.
Starting point is 01:38:11 I think there are other candidates who believe that if there's speech we disagree with, that the right answer is to censor it. I say a lot of the speech we're seeing is heinous in this country, even in recent weeks, but the right answer is never censorship. It is always more speech, not less speech. And I think this is all in the backdrop of a divide when it comes to foreign policy in our country, Glenn, is I think that there are some who believe that it's the job of the U.S. to be the global hegemon in places like Ukraine and elsewhere making the decisions of intervening in somebody else's conflict that doesn't advance the American interest. And I'm dead set against that. I believe that my sole moral duty as the next U.S. president is to the Americans right here at home in our homeland. And those things go together because it's that foreign policy vision that also allows them to invoke national security as an excuse to really infringe on our liberty here at home. And I think it's good for us to have this debate in this GOP primary season now. Do you want to go the direction of the George Bush Dick Cheney vision of the Republican Party, as some do? I'm not in that camp. I don't.
Starting point is 01:39:13 want to lead us to the Republican Party of the future, where the Republican Party stands for standing for the interests of American citizens here at home by reviving the founding ideals, and yes, that includes the First Amendment above all, and that we will stand for that without apology. And so, sir, to say, she and I have a very different vision on this. And, you know, I personally believe that mine is more consistent with the founding vision of this country. And if we revive that, that's how we reignite and reunite our country. That's why I'm in this. When we look at our founding vision, it required us to have a moral center. We don't really have a moral center anymore.
Starting point is 01:39:53 Everything is up for grabs. Our police are, you know, in disarray. There was a huge mob in Detroit. I think it was last night and night before. Firefighters arrived to use the jaws of life to get these people out of a horrible car wreck. The people started throwing rocks at them. and the driver died. I mean, you know, we have decayed.
Starting point is 01:40:15 So how do we get this back to where we all feel we have personal responsibilities, not just rights? Absolutely. And rights and responsibilities go hand in hand together, but we've forgotten the responsibility part of that. So some of this isn't going to be done by the president. I mean, they think the president, half the job is policy, but half the job is also the national character that we create the example that we set. I think it's been a long time since we've had a president where I could look my sons in the eye and tell them, I want you to grow up and be like him, frankly. And I think that that's the standard. I want people to hold me to. If I'm the next president, that's a high standard.
Starting point is 01:40:55 But I also think that part of this comes from pastors, parents, teachers, coaches across the country stepping up as well. The conservative movement, I think we've fallen short where for a long time, we will complain about the left's agenda of race, gender, sexuality, climate. I want us talking more about the individual, family, nation, God. See, individual, family, nation, God. That beats race, gender, sexuality, and climate if we have the courage to actually stand for something, not just against what the other side puts up. And what I've seen, Glenn, I've traveling college campuses.
Starting point is 01:41:32 I'm probably into more college campuses than any Republican candidate who's run in our history. And you think that people in that next generation, the assumption that many people have is they're against these shared American values and their leftist progressives. What I see is something that's slightly different. They are lost. They are directionless, rudderless, hungry for some direction and purpose and meaning. And so if we can have the courage to actually not just condemn what the left is filling that vacuum with, and I've done that too, I'm not criticizing other people. This is a self-reflection. I've done a lot of that, including in the books I've written.
Starting point is 01:42:06 that you know and otherwise. Now we need to level up and say, here's a vision of our own. And young people, especially, Glenn, will flock in our direction if we actually give them something to believe in. And that's part of what I'm trying to do in this race and hopefully in leading this country. That's how we actually revive that moral core. I've got about 40 seconds. I just have to ask you, there's an editorial in the Wall Street Journal today,
Starting point is 01:42:29 an op-ed that says, we need to take Gazans into America. We haven't taken our share of those fleeing. from the Middle East and those Palestinians from Gaza need to come here. I'm against it. And I think that we have our own issues to deal with here at home. The number one lesson we need to learn is if that can happen to Israel, what happened was wrong, it was subhuman and it was a failure of defense and border defenses. That could happen right here at home with 70,000 special interest alien apprehensions from Middle Eastern countries on our own border. So I'm far more concerned with protecting our own borders in this country.
Starting point is 01:43:06 than to increase what already is too high of a refugee and humanitarian intake of immigrants to this country. It's wrong. We should – that would be a step in the wrong direction. My view is that to the contrary, though, Israel needs to be able to defend itself to the fullest. We should stand diplomatically for Israel's right to do so. But that's different from saying that we need to bring a bunch of Gazans to the United States of America. That's wrong, and we have our own issues to deal with here at home. And that's my moral obligation as the next president to look after American interests here.

Starting point is 01:45:37 sudden I had allergies or something. My throat just started to close up. Oh, well, thanks for coming in and sitting in a small room with me all day. I appreciate that.

You're a human, so I know everything there needs to be known about humans.
Starting point is 01:45:59 It's not exactly how that works. But I do, I like Vivek's position on digital currencies. I mean, I don't think there's anything in there that I really disagreed with him on he, I agree with him on the, on the, on the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the privacy concerns when it comes to Nikki Haley's new proposal on... It's not good. No, because it's just, it's a bit complicating because I do think it would improve the civility. I mean, it would be, I would, for example, sign up to a social network where I was going, everyone on the social network was verified and had their real names.
Starting point is 01:46:38 I actually would think that would be a valuable service. I would like it. But forcing the government, the government forcing these companies to do it, absolutely not. Get out of there. Yeah, government shouldn't be involved in a hole. I also like the idea that the next generation steps up. I mean, it is time for the next generation to step up. He's like two generations.
Starting point is 01:46:59 Well, he's not that. As he points out, of course, the founders were very young when they signed. How old is DeSantis? He's not much older. No, it's true. He's in his, what, mid-40s? And he's in his late 30s. Yeah, I guess that's.
Starting point is 01:47:12 So they're in the, I think they're in the same generation. and DeSantis joins us here in just a second. We're going to talk to him. All these youngsters running for president. Amen. Yeah. Thank you. You know, once they both serve their terms, they go to the private sector,
Starting point is 01:47:28 then serve on several charitable boards, then they can be qualified to run for Senate. That's at that point in the 80s or 90s. Military Industrial Compact. All right. The main reason why I feel it's necessary to prepare for disaster, why I come on this program to encourage you to look into things like putting some of your money into gold and silver is because I'm a student of history. I've seen how certain things, especially really bad things, tend to happen over and over again down through time.
Starting point is 01:47:57 They don't always happen exactly the same way, but they rhyme always. You've got to be concerned about where we are as a nation. You don't want to be caught off guard when things go wrong. in times of economic uncertainty, wisdom calls for diversifying and stability. Now, here's why I believe Goldline is the best people you should call. Goldline has been in business for 60 years. There's a bunch of people that come, they're fly by night. These guys watch over everything to make sure it's right.
Starting point is 01:48:37 You know, they're one of the only ones, if not the only one, that actually says, We don't think you should put more than 10, maybe 20% of your money into gold or silver. They are really ethical people that I would love for you to call and find out about Goldline at 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline or Goldline.com. And it's blazediv.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. We want to welcome Governor Rhonda Santis, a presidential candidate. Of course, the governor from Florida. Governor, how are you, sir? I'm doing good. How are you doing, Glenn?
Starting point is 01:49:19 I am great. Good to talk to you. You know, one of the things that I think, I don't understand because everybody likes you. I mean, you're a great governor. Everybody really likes you. And you have to close the deal here on why you are better than Donald Trump. What is the disconnect or can you connect that with people? Why are you better than Donald Trump? In these early states, I mean, I think a few things. one, I'm more likely to actually get elected, which you see with me winning Florida by 20 points.
Starting point is 01:49:55 He was not able to do that. Number two, I can serve two terms. He'd be a lame duck on day one. Number three, he's not going to be able to recruit really strong personnel to fill the administration. I'd have hundreds of people that would be willing to come to Washington to help turn the screws on the D.C. swamp and to get this bureaucracy in line. four, I'll be focused on your issues. I don't have issues that are going to distract me. My sole focus will be on this country reversing America's decline. Five, I'm the only one running, Donald Trump or
Starting point is 01:50:31 others. Everything I promised my voters I would do, I delivered on 100% of the promises. Donald Trump, of course, can't say that, you know, didn't build the wall with Mexico paying for, didn't drain the swamp didn't eliminate the debt. So we will go in there and I'm I've a bold agenda. We put out a lot of great stuff. But I have a plan to actually accomplish all of this stuff when I get when I take office. And I think it's really important because this is not about the show. This is not about entertainment. The future of our country is going to be determined about whether we can produce the type of results that we need to get us on a fundamentally better path going forward. And so for all those reasons and others on the choice. And, you know, you just think, what I tell people,
Starting point is 01:51:18 Glenn, is I can make all these promises. And I do have a record of delivering. But I think forward eight years, January of 233, if I'm ready, if I'm handing off the baton to what am I going to be able to tell you and the American people that we've actually accomplished? And we're going to be able to say, we've restored the American dream. We've whipped inflation, interest rates. We have energy, security, independence. We've reversed binomics. We'll be able to say our sovereignty's been restored. No more Mexican drug cartels running the show. No more fentanyl poisoning tens of thousands of Americans every year. We're going to say that we've offended off the threat from the Chinese Communist Party in the 21st century. America's still the dominant power in the world. We'll be able to
Starting point is 01:52:01 say that our schools are about educating kids, not indoctrinating kids, including our universities, because we'll be able to change the tide there. We'll be able to say whether you live in a red state or a blue city, criminals are going to be held accountable for their crimes again. We're not going to let the inmates run the asylum and the rule of law will be restored. And then finally, and not least, we will have restored the Constitution to the central role in American life. No more unaccountable bureaucracy imposing its will on us, weaponizing against us. It's going to be a limited government that is going to be conducting itself in accordance with the founder's vision.
Starting point is 01:52:38 and if we can say all that, then we'll be able to say we've restored what President Reagan called a shining city on a hill. Okay, I think that's pretty comprehensive, very good. You brought up something at the very beginning where you said he's going to have a hard time finding people for position. If I'm not mistaken, there's like 40,000 appointments to be made. And you have to be way ahead of that in the first place. I think you are already looking, you know, initially just taking. just taking a look at who would serve and where you would put people and who needs to be where. But the press has done so much damage to Donald Trump that, I mean, they're putting his lawyers,
Starting point is 01:53:21 you know, on trial and going to jail. Nobody wants to represent him. And like you said, is he going to be able to get the people around him? How important is it those 40,000? Yes. I mean, so who's going to be like, the FBI director. I've said we're going to have a new one on day one. Donald Trump said the jury's still out on Christopher Ray. I don't think the jury's still out. I think we need a new one.
Starting point is 01:53:45 You'll have that. You'll have an attorney general that's going to spit nails and it's going to have a spine of steel. And all those are important. But as you know, Glenn, we have a fourth branch of government that is developed over many decades. And they don't even care about the elections. And they're going to do what they want. The only way you can successfully corral that is if you have people two, three, three, four, four or five rungs down who you're appointing who are going to be able to turn the screws on there. And I will be exerting the Article 2 authority necessary to do it in ways other presidents have. You know, we're going to take the 40,000, 50,000 policy role bureaucrats. We're going to take them out of civil service entirely put them in Schedule F.
Starting point is 01:54:27 They can be terminated at will. We're going to be doing a lot of different things. But you have got to have that. And you can't just recycle people from within the D.C. swamp. And I'm going to inspire people. And I actually say this on the campaign trail. I want people from Texas and Utah and Wisconsin and all these places. Take up your family, two years, four years, six years, eight years, whatever you can do. You're on a mission to return this government to its rightful owners, we the people. And you've got to inspire people up and down the rung of that.
Starting point is 01:54:58 And we will do that. And yes, there are very good people involved right now in collecting tens of thousands of resumes from around the country. What I'll do is at the end of the spring, we'll just do the transition starting then. And that's going to be a huge part of it. So you're going to have three things, really. You're going to have the personnel that need to be ready to go. Number two, you're going to have all the whatever executive actions you're going to take. A lot of that will be just be repealing Biden stuff. And then three, the legislation working with the members of Congress, so that's ready to go. Some of that will just be normal things we all want see, but some of it, you've got to fit in this Senate budget reconciliation vehicle. That's how Biden
Starting point is 01:55:38 was able to do all his stuff. He had 50 senators and he did all this stuff. When are Republicans ever outkicking their coverage? I mean, we hope it's underperform in Washington. So we're going to have a mindset on that. And I think Biden abused reconciliation, but we're going to jam a lot of stuff in budget reconciliation, which is going to be very good for the country. And I think you know as a student of history, I think you'd agree with this. You can survey years, but you really, but you really, really only have limited windows to really strike and get a lot of big things done with Congress. You don't have a full eight years. There's an ebb and flow. You come in as a newly inaugurated president and you got wind at your back and you got 100 days, 150 days. Then, you know, they go on
Starting point is 01:56:17 August recess. Then maybe have, you know, a couple spurts over the first two years. Then they have the midterm election. Then Congress can change. Maybe that. Then maybe you get a little shot with the new Congress. Then it's the re-election. Then you get re-elected. It's kind of a crescendo. you get six, nine months, where you get to do your second term agenda, then they start worrying about the midterm. And then you're a lame duck the last two years. Right. So in eight, talking about probably 12 to 18 months that you really have chance to strike. And so you've just got to be ready on day one, and we will be.
Starting point is 01:56:50 Okay, let me change the subject. I know I wanted to talk to you about all of the wars that are going on and strategy to avoid it. But I want to take you to the border crossings. by the time you would be elected president, there will be over 10 million people in this country that just came across our borders. We have no idea who there were. 250,000 or 240,000 came just last month again. There's more on the way in caravans. We know that these are people from some really dangerous countries like Iran who, you know,
Starting point is 01:57:27 are terrorist nations. Do you expect to see terrorism in? and what should be done to thwart it? Are you worried about it? Of course. Hamas' attack on Israel focused more and more Americans on. Okay, wait a minute. Israel's got some of the strongest border security in the world,
Starting point is 01:57:48 and yet this happened there. We have a border where anybody's coming across, and you're right, Iran, Russia, China, Middle Eastern countries, they're coming across. Our own government acknowledges people on their own terrorist watch list are coming across, and that's just who we know about.
Starting point is 01:58:03 And we know there's a lot of people coming who we don't. So I said in the debate, the elites in D.C., they've left you and your family exposed to drugs going in your community and terrorism. And the media's like, oh, there's no terrorists coming across the border. Glenn, what are the odds? You could have 8 million people with more and more every day, as you pointed out. And they're not be a potential terrorist. Of course there are. This is a major vulnerability for our country.
Starting point is 01:58:30 So I've said we've got to send all these people back. and that's going to require a concerted effort. It's going to require something similar to what Eisenhower did in the 1950s, but we have just put ourselves in a terrible predicament with terrorism, but even with just criminal aliens who've come across the border, are countries less safe and secure as a result of it. And if you never are willing to send people back, then you're going to continue having different waves of this all throughout the future.
Starting point is 01:58:58 I'm doing a show tonight on what is being said to, the Russian people and to the Iranian people. And it is shocking. Governor, it is shocking. They are talking exactly the same language. End of times, Antichrist. You'll never guess who both Russia and Iran think is the Antichrist. The language is really disturbing and the way it is being sold. I'm very concerned about it coming in through the back door and being sold to Americans going, you know, they really have a point. Nikki Haley, who the other day said that
Starting point is 01:59:36 she wanted verification of everybody who was on social media and open access to be able to see the algorithms. What is your thought on that? Registration. That's what China
Starting point is 01:59:56 has done. China did that recently. That is totally inappropriate for the United States of America. I mean, Glenn, we've lived through this age of cancel culture. You can lose your job if you're conservative. You can have things done to you. There's a role for anonymous speech. The federal's papers were written anonymously by Madison J. and Hamilton. That's a long tradition in our country. But what it would do, I think, is open the door for a social credit system. She is somebody, I think, is in favor of things like
Starting point is 02:00:28 a central bank digital currency. I oppose central bank digital currency. In fact, I've signed legislation in Florida, prohibiting the use of CBBC in our state, because I think the Fed may try to do it unilaterally. They do not have the authority to do that. Congress, if they did it, I don't think they would. I think that that would trump our state law. But anyways, I've said as president on day one, CDBC dies. It's dead. We're not doing it in the United States of America. So this is something that is totally unacceptable. I just think it shows, you don't know what time it is if you're trying to, saying that we need your names on all this stuff. So I was, honestly, I wasn't surprised she said it because I think that's just who she is,
Starting point is 02:01:10 but it was totally out of bounds of what would be acceptable in the Republican Party. Great to have you on, Governor. Thank you so much. Ron DeSantis.com, if you want to get involved in the campaign, find out of more information. It's ron desantis.com. Thank you, Governor. Thanks, Glenn. Take care. You bet. Bye-bye.

Starting point is 02:02:57 is the compress that all the world prefer. At from here, we're grandes. Trouver of little enterprises like the
Starting point is 02:03:04 own own on Amazon.ca. Yeah. Those are two great presidential interviews. Yeah. They really were. Those guys...
Starting point is 02:03:17 Not your part, but their parts were great. Yeah, yeah. I know that. I mean, those guys, I mean, just on the first question with Ronda Santis, wow. Yeah, that was really interesting. And your question was interesting, too, because I think it's accurate. Like, you look at the polling.
Starting point is 02:03:32 Like, everybody likes Ronda Santis and the Republican primary electorate. Like, they like him. They think he's done a really good job. He's a great governor. And yet you see the polling. He's behind by a decent amount and certainly nationally and even in these early states. Donald Trump has a visceral connection to Americans. I think you're right.
Starting point is 02:03:50 There's some, there's like an emotional bond. Like, it's almost like the way you'd say like, hey, we've been through a bunch and I'll always have your back. It's that type of thing. I bet it is a lot like, you know, when you were in the Honoy Hilton, you know, when you were a prison of war camp and the guy who's in the next, we have a bond. We have a bond. We'll be together forever. It's almost like that. Like, you know, you look, think of all the stuff in multiple impeachments, you know, the election and a lot of people feel the, you know, a lot of people feel the,
Starting point is 02:04:18 there's, you know, he was taken from him, right? So like it was, he didn't even get his fair chance for a second term. That's definitely the vibe of many, many of the voters. And, and he's also an underdog. He is also representative in people's minds, I think, of them. Because I, the guy that is always getting crapped on. Because I challenge anybody who listens to this show, to who's, who thinks about the constitution every day, to listen to that interview with Ron DeSantis in particular.
Starting point is 02:04:46 and go ahead, claim he wouldn't be a good president. I don't think anyone in the audience can deny that he would be a good president. But it's almost like that's not how the decisions necessarily being made. They might say, hey, Desanis will be a great president in 2028. But hey, Donald Trump is my guy and I'll kind of be with him until he's not there anymore. And it feels like it almost, everyone keeps saying, I hear this online a lot, like, oh, Ron DeSantis, Vivek, Ramoswamy, you know, Nikki Haley. They're running these campaigns. They're floundering.
Starting point is 02:05:19 They're doing all these things. I don't know. Is it even doable? Like, is it doable in this time with this guy, with this voting base where, like, if there's that an emotional bond, you kind of can't break it. It's like, you know, I'll always love that old girlfriend. I'll always be thinking about that old girlfriend. That one crazy trip we had back in the day, like, yeah, the new girlfriend, she might be
Starting point is 02:05:43 prettier and she might be smarter and she might be, you know, more accomplished. But, you know, at the end of the day, it's the old girlfriend that I remember. And I feel like there's something that goes on with Donald Trump that is different than anyone else in the field. And I don't know if you can break it. So here's the thing. I personally think the Democrats think they can beat Donald Trump. Yep. Okay.
Starting point is 02:06:03 They do. So they want Donald Trump as the candidate. And what they're doing, I mean, you talk about a win-win. You get Donald Trump to be the candidate by persecuting him because people relate to that. and they don't like it. And he was a good president. You know, generally speaking, he did some amazing things. So you have that.
Starting point is 02:06:26 But then also, if they do win, put him in jail or whatever, what is the reaction of half the country? I mean, they are just driving you deeper and deeper into that. And they know what they're doing. It's really, it's really evil, really evil. The Glenn Back Program.
