intelligence assessments say that Iran could launch strikes involved. involving high precision missiles and drones targeting military and government sites in Israel, as well as American sites. Oh, this is it going to be. Man, when, you know, Biden ran it said, we're just going to, I mean, a vote for me is a vote for normalcy.

One of the people quoted in a new report from Bloomberg says it's just a matter of when, not if Iran will attack Israel. head of the U.S. Central Command is expected to visit Israel today for consultations with

Defense Minister of Israel and other officials to discuss the threat of an Iranian attack. And I don't know about you, but the people who brought us the withdrawal from Afghanistan, I'm certainly glad they're over there giving advice to Israel. You know, I'm just glad we're there, you know. I, you know, I'm a big Israel supporter, but I don't want to fight any of their wars. You know, I'm for, hey, let them fight their own war. They're a country. They're capable.

They at least recognize the evil in Iran. We don't really do that anymore. So let them fight it. I think we have other things to do. Look, here's one thing I want to talk to you about today. I see a growing trend in the right that I find. A little disturbing, just a little bit. Some people are calling it a move towards anti-Semitism or maybe anti-Zionism.

I think it personally has to do more with the way the conservative movement is detaching itself from Christian identity, if you will. You know, it's just the Southern Baptists, it doesn't play the role that it used to play. Christianity is not playing the role it used to play in our society. And I personally see this as a tragedy. He's a Christian. He's a Christian Identitarian. No, no, uh, no. Nope, I don't want a church running the country.

I want the country run by the Constitution. But I would love churches and people of Judeo-Christian faith because that faith teaches peace, love. Love thy neighbor, all of that stuff. People who actually live that, which there's very few people, I mean, myself included, I don't think I'm, I'm not necessarily the best example of a Christian. But I try to be. I try to be a better man every day. The religious right has been shamed into the closet.

And I'm afraid there is a future coming where the right isn't guided by God, but by power. And then what is the difference between us? Honestly, if we're just guided by power, what are they guided by? Power. And I see the turn away from Israel as evidence that the new right doesn't want to submit to God. Not because the nation state of Israel is completely righteous. I don't know. I don't think they are. I mean, I like Benjamin Net and Yahoo, but he's got some problems. You know what I'm saying? You know, I don't want America to have to subsidize another. nation state, any nation state. I don't want to go fight anybody else's foreign wars. But the fact that God chose the land of Israel as his nation is kind of an unavoidable fact.

Okay? Kind of. I mean, that's just, I mean, why do you think, why do you think the Muslims want to destroy so much of the history of Israel? Because in the land of Jews, you know, Judea, there's archaeological evidence that it was run and named after the Jews, Judea. Now, does Israel deserve this? I don't know. But, you know, I read from the Bible. On the contrary, who are you, you foolish person, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder. Why did you make me like this, will it? Or does the potter not have a right over the clay to make from the same lump one object for honorable use and another for common use? Do you have your Bibles with you?

Here's a problem. In today's world, because God said so, you know, is rarely, and I don't think dad really wants to, I mean, he may say that from time to time because he just, well, he's God so he doesn't get pissed. pissed off. But I don't know. In his way, he's got to be like us as parents where we're like, Be kind of I said so. Once in a while. But it's not a compelling answer for the new right, because we're setting up our own reason as our God. Now, you know, one of my favorite phrases comes from Thomas Jefferson when it comes to religion, above all things. Fix reason firmly in her seat and question with boldness, even the very existence of God. God. For if there be a God, he must surely honor reason and honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

So God doesn't ask us for blindfolded faith. You know, we don't have to all be in lockstep on the interpretation of what Scripture says. As Paul says, heaven forbid, come let us reason together. this is Isaiah. But at the end of the day, when we've wrestled with God like Jacob and hurt ourselves, do we submit? That's the question. Do we know more than him? Zachariah said, the Lord who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the human spirit within a person declares,

I'm going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding people's reeling. and on that day when the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All those who try to move it will be cut into pieces. Now, I don't like that last part. Okay, that last part is like, I don't know. I don't think we should do that. Now, he's got a couple of pretty serious rules, you know.

He's got 10. And I think all 10 of those have shown. me in my lifetime. Yeah, you know what? I think this God guy has something going for him. I think he knows a little bit more than I do. Because I like to break almost all of those rules, you know. Haven't done the murder one.

It doesn't really appeal to me. But hey, to each his own. But everyone that I have broken, I've regretted afterwards. I've been like, you know what? That Mo guy when he walked up to the hill, you know, he got those tablets and he was like, I got just 10 of them. I've broken probably,

I don't know, nine, because I know I didn't do the murder one. So I probably broken nine, and every single one of them I've, I've gone, hmm, not such a good idea.

Now, none of those say, oh, by the way, if you do this, I'm going to cut you into pieces. As much as I don't like the smoteing part of the Bible? There's a lot of smoothing in the Bible. Personally, I think it's not God getting mad at us. I think it's actually just the way he set up the universe. You do these things, it's going to leave a mark. It's like there's patio doors all over in our life. And God's just there going, there's a patio door. It's closed. Don't run. Don't run. You're going, okay, that's going to leave a mark.

I happen to believe the Bible is true, and the older I get, the more important it becomes to me. I believe every word. It doesn't mean I understand it, but I believe God stretched out the heavens, laid the foundation, and formed humans. The human spirit, he formed everything. So I also believe that anybody who tries to move Israel, which is a spiritually loaded word that extends beyond the modern nation state of Israel, real, but still includes it, will be cut to pieces. Now, that's not a political opinion. It's also not an unbiased one that I came, you know, only using my reason. You know, look, I'm smarter than you. I figure this out. No, uh-uh. No, I'm not. I just happen to believe what God says he means.

And some people don't. And that's fine. Like I said before, a lot of people no longer believe A lot of people no longer go, you know, I don't know. The smoting part does kind of worry me. I don't think God's going to pound us all into salt. I think our actions pound us all into salt. There is something to this whole Jews keep getting persecuted thing. Maybe I'll share that with you today. I was talking to a rabbi just a few weeks ago, and I told him this theory, and he said,

have you talked about that on the air? And I said, nah, not really. I don't think so. He's like, you'd really need to. I've never heard that. And I think that's right. Maybe I'll share that with you today. But the tides are turning in an anti-God direction.

Anti-Semitism is a symptom of that disease. And that disease becomes evil. Evil. you're seeing evil everywhere, right? I mean, isn't it pretty clear for most people? Even if you don't believe in God? I mean, I have an atheist friend who I said to him. It was James Lindsay.

James, I know you don't believe in God, but I mean, I can't describe what I'm seeing in any way other than evil. And he's like, oh, yeah, definitely evil. I mean, you mean evil the way I mean evil? Yeah, definitely evil, Glenn. I mean, even atheists. can see. This isn't normal.

I think we've run through several glass patio doors, and it's going to leave a mark. It's scary to see people using the Bible or God to support anti-Israel or anti-Jewish ideas. I pray it only seems to be a growing trend, but I don't think so. When you see these things, it's probably pretty good to stop.

After you're picking the glass out of your face, you might want to stop and go, okay, all right, what made me do that? What in my life has me running through patio door after patio door? We need to search for that. Because I believe a God that is so powerful that can rise people from the dead, Oh, he can't do that. That's a myth. Okay, well, whatever. Have fun on your next patio door.

Those who can, a God who can raise people from the dead, I don't think spiritual death is that much of a challenge for him, you know? I think that's something he, but he needs us to go, wait a minute, wait a minute. Something's wrong here. we continue in just 60 seconds standby. You know, man's best friend comes with his own set of health needs. If you're a dog owner, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's just not enough to throw some dry kibble into a bowl. You might think you're doing the right thing. I did for years. But all the nutrients, all the stuff that's alive in food is cooked out of kibble food. And your dog, his body knows it. What you need is rough greens. I started giving rough greens to Uno years ago. and I believe it truly added so much quality to his life.

I mean, he's going downhill quickly. He's kind of like checked out now. He doesn't even, you know, doorbell rings. He's like, I ain't getting up. I've done that long enough, buddy. Anyway, but I believe it's extended his life, and I know it has added quality to his life because I saw the difference in him. Rough Greens is not a dog food.

It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. You sprinkle it on the food. It's the good stuff.

You know, Leviticus, what a laugh. I mean, it's just full of laughs. This is the part of Leviticus. It's my favorite. It's all about skin diseases. And who gets enough of leprosy talk? You know what I mean? Lepracy, life, all kinds of great stuff in Leviticus.

I love it. So this is the part where he gets into skin conditions. Now, usually I would go to church and I'd be reading that and I'd be like, can we skip the skin condition part? It really kind of grosses me out just a little bit. But is God actually talking about skin disease? When he's talking, most Bibles say leprosy, leprosy, but it's not usually, it's probably not leprosy. It's some other disease. It's not the one that we know is leprosy today.

Now, tradition holds two things. One is to say that the diseases are unknown in our day because we no longer have the temple or priests that would know what they're seeing and the message would be lost on us or that these disorders is a message, a sign, a warning that something's out of order with us on a spiritual or moral plane. I don't think Leviticus who was great I love Leviticus and all of his hits or Moses who wrote

I don't know I have no idea what Leviticus even is but it's not Gray's anatomy you know circa 1,200 BC it's it's not it's not contrary to what many Bible critics

and some proponents would have the laws of the Torah are not just a hygiene textbook. A lot of people, I mean, there's a lot of washing of hands and what to eat and what not to eat. And yeah, okay, it does have some of those physical health benefits. That's a positive side effect there. But the aim is spiritual, moral, and ethical. The priest is not a physician. The Israelites don't come to him with just anything.

You know, he's like, I got a really bad cough and maybe just a touch to leprosy. They don't do that. They don't take out your appendix or anything else. They don't even go and look, look, my wife and I were having some problems. And I wanted to talk to the Mo Man because I know she got pregnant when he was like, what, a hundred and some years old. They don't talk about fertility issues. Priests aren't doing that.

And by the way, this list is not a complete list of skin conditions. I know I've checked. Happily, not every skin disorder qualifies for impurity. Nice to know. Not every case of herpes means you're a sinner and a slut. Get ready for some smiting or smoting or... Maybe it's an all smite weekend. I don't know, but...

And male baldness is okay. So what is this all about? Say, I have an idea. How about I share that with you? After this super important message. Coming up. So I don't mean to brag here. I don't mean to brag or boast, but you know that I'm a doctor, right?

And not just any old doctor. I'm a doctor of humanities, which means I believe you can ask me literally any question pertaining to humans and I've got the answer. I'm an expert. I'm the wise man. Some might even say, I am the science. Okay? But even I don't know all the best practices when it comes to buying or selling a house. Yes, and humans do that.

For that, you need a real estate agent. Not just any old real estate agent. You need one you can trust. I started real estate agents you can trust or it's actually real estate agents I trust because it's always about me, me, me, brother. You know what I mean? Can we make this commercial more about me? I started this company over a decade ago.

It's called real estate agents. I trust because I got sick of dealing with the hassle and figured you might feel the same way. So how do we find the ones with the best practices? Well, we found them. We found the best practices and we found the people who worked their butts off to help you both buying and selling in. And we can give you their names for free.

So, reading Leviticus, because it's so relatable, not actually reading it, but I know it's so hot. I know it's so hot right now that I just wanted to be with the cool kids and say, yeah, I was kicking back yesterday, reading some Leviticus, who's not, you know. And I'm looking for some good, you know, bloodletting or ointments or leeches, you know, some of those stories, which Leviticus doesn't have any, but it's riddled with skin,

diseases and that, you know, that's the fun part of the Bible. And so I'm reading this and I'm like, I'm not sure that God is actually talking about skin disease because have you ever heard beauty is only skin deep? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe leprosy is only skin deep. So you go to the priest and you're like. You're like, my fingers have just fallen off.

So what's going on there? And the priest isn't supposed to give any ointment or anything else. And he doesn't declare the sufferer to be impure. You're impure. And you must go off from here. He's not supposed to actually, the Hebrew uses a verb form of the word impure. It translates as the priest will impure him. And I thought for a while, maybe, maybe, you know, Moses was like, did you say impure or impale?

I don't. So what happens is the priest, not the symptoms, confers the status of impure. So he's saying, he's saying that, you know, you have to, impurify yourself because I can't do it. He doesn't automatically impurify. The first thing he does is he gives the patient a chance, sometimes too, in a form of temporary quarantine, as if saying, you know what, dude, yeah, you got some problems. Go examine your life.

Maybe you'll find something's out of alignment. Maybe you need to change your direction slightly. The pattern here is check, isolate, recheck, sometimes repeat. and then isolate for the longer term, but even then, containment's not for life or until death, but until the disease passes, meaning until the afflicted changes his ways and restores his life to the proper track. I think we all might have leprosy if you see what I'm saying. So it's containment.

Hmm. Because, like regular disease. Moral spiritual disorders are transmittable, sometimes highly contagious. Now this is where Leviticus really gets good. Bad ideas, bad memes. They jump from person to person more easily than any virus or any disease. Gad Sad, theory of the mind pathogens. This, I mean, it's useful in understanding this.

Abigail Schreier's irreversible damage provides a detailed, applied, and only to current case in point. Hey, maybe there's something going on here with our kids. We could look at the news and observe how bad ideas are spreading like a plague until their societal norms. Pick a domain, pick a topic. I think you can see it. It's there to see that's leprosy. From this angle, maybe suddenly everything starts to make sense. Repeatedly, the priest is told,

look for afflictions, reaching deeper or lower than the skin. Literally, not only skin deep. We're looking to help with something much deeper than that. And sometimes whatever that is leaves a mark on you.

Why would it leave a mark on you? Well, because maybe this is something you should remember. Spreading afflictions, not spreading. That's an okay thing. But really not good enough

because evil is never content to remain in place. It always wants more. It always seeks to spread further. Think of addiction, pornography, greed, power. Think of cookies being you and the devil being cookie monster. Always hungry for more cookies.

And if cookies were evil and we are cookie monster, Cockays, we always seek more. So here's something that we don't say every day. Wow, I wish there were some things kind of like leprosy that we would see on the skin, some visible, readable sign telling us, hey, that person's really sick. Maybe there are signs like that. huh are there any signs that we might point to in today's world that says hey i think i think the society is really really sick now i can't think of any because i think we're doing great i can't see

any other way to live but then again maybe maybe some things are out of alignment in our world be worth some time just to take a closer look at yourself and I'll take a look at myself. See where we might have come across maybe the wrong pathogen, you know, even without the physical symptoms. And we can be reasonably certain that some of today's spiritual pathogens do have them. We also have the ability to diagnose ourselves. Have we forgotten who we are? have we forgotten why we're here?

Do we even know why we're here? Have we forgotten who we are supposed to be, who we wanted to be, who we hoped to be? I know I promised myself I was going to be a fireman. Look at me now! I have never fought a fire. Okay, I don't mean it that way.

Have we turned away from our charge or our purpose? Have we taken a path leading us further away from God in pursuit of whatever the current cause is, the current idol or the current desire. Because if so, we have exactly what we need to treat ourselves and God willing to cure ourselves. And you will find it in the book. The book of skin diseases. Maybe we should go back to looking at some of those safety tips. that the Mo Man gave us from the mountain on how to live our lives,

how to find and accomplish our purpose, get closer to God, maybe isolate ourselves just a little bit for a while, and get away from all the deadly pathogens that are seemingly swarming the world right now.

You know, Catherine Harwich is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

journalist. Yeah, generally with the Pentagon and, you know, national security. She's been... Work for Fox for a long time. and she went to CBS. Well, the government, she had some sources on some things about the president and... This one? Catherine Harwich. Yeah. This president, though.

Yeah, this president. And CBS fired her because the FBI said, we want to know your sources. And she said, no. I did read something about that. Yeah, yeah. So now she's spent time in jail because she's, She won't why? They did put her in jail for that? Yeah, they put her in jail for that. Now she is sitting and she's about to testify. Here's Chip Roy opening up the hearing just a couple of minutes ago.

We have it. Journalist Steve Baker, who was reporting from the U.S. Capitol building on January 6th on the events that took place inside the Capitol. We also recently saw a federal court order investigative journalist Catherine Harage to identify a confidential source and then hold her in contempt. when she exercised her First Amendment right to maintain the source's confidentiality. First Amendment advocates on both sides of the aisle have warned that government actions such as this could have devastating consequences for a free press. Around that same time, CBS News terminated Ms. Harrodge's employment and took unprecedented actions with regards to her belongings, including source materials. CBS News officials reportedly boxed up and seized some of the materials in her office, including, her investigative files and laptop computer, with the intent to search through items to segregate

materials Ms. Harage developed or worked on for CBS News. CBS News plans searched through miscarriage's materials threatened to trample upon her First Amendment rights and could have divulged confidential sources stemming from her previous work with other networks. Along those same lines, we have also seen that federal government seek to impermissibly shape news stories, even coercing social media companies to censor and remove content on their platforms relating to foreign influence peddling by the president and his family. Today's hearing is about defending our fundamental liberty and protecting journalists and their sources from these attacks. We will examine the federal government's infringement on the freedom of the press

and examine the prospects for a federal shield law. On July 19th, 2023, the House Committee on the judiciary with a vote of 23 to zero. That doesn't often have happen in the House Judiciary Committee. 23 to 0. Favorably reported on the Protect Reports from Exploitative State spying or Press Act. In January of this year, the full

House passed the Press Act by a voice vote. The Press Act was written to prohibit the federal government from compelling journalists to identify a source as well as any records, contents of communication, documents, or information obtained are created by journalists in the course of their work. The significance

of the Press Act cannot be understated. it ensures a free press independent from an executive branch that seeks to attack or harassed journalists in order to identify their confidential sources. Now that the House has done its job and stood up to fight for the freedom of the press, it is now the Senate's turn to take up this legislation to continue Congress's commitment to protecting our fundamental freedoms. Our constitutional guarantee of a free press is under attack.

It is our job to stand up for that right and protect journalists and their sources. I look forward to hearing from all of our distinguished witnesses today who will all bring unique personal and professional perspectives to this important issue. Please note that a joint schedule of Congress is scheduled for 11 o'clock a.m. And the committee will recess for the duration of that session and gavel back in shortly after. I now yield to the ranking member. Okay. I don't know.

I think this is something that every American should care about. every press person. But you'll notice for the first time I think maybe ever a hearing on freedom of the press defending one of their own

a CBS reporter there isn't a single cable news network that's covering this. It's incredible. What's happening with that? Wow. That is incredible. Yeah. We're I tell you,

And for CBS to just summarily fire her and then confiscate her stuff, which they're obviously turning over to the government. Yeah, not just that doesn't happen. Incredible. It doesn't happen. Wow. By the way, there was a FISA vote yesterday. And for the life of me, like six of us stood in the hallway yesterday, trying to read and go, what the hell just happened? We have no idea.

Massey just tweeted something. Many people have been misled today. There was not a vote on the FISA bill. there was a vote on the resolution that would have allowed FISA as well as six amendments to it, including a warrant requirement amendment and other pieces of legislation to come to the floor. Partisan procedural votes like this. Democrats reflectively vote no. Republicans typically vote yes. Nineteen Republicans voted with all the Democrats to stop everything from coming onto the floor today, including the warrant amendment to FISA. Many of us who are adamantly opposed to warrantless surveillance,

voted for the resolution, wanting to get a recorded vote on warrants and recognizing the speaker otherwise can suspend the rules and bring anything to the floor without a resolution like he did with the omnibus. Tactically, whether the 19 did the best thing or not is to be determined. They may have just stopped our only chance to have a vote on whether the government needs a warrant to spy on you. So there's the Fourth Amendment. Today they're talking about the First Amendment. How many more amendments have to be under direct attack before the American people say,

wait a minute, wait a minute, the Bill of Rights is important. By the way, day before yesterday, Joe Biden said he's going to take more administrative actions to take away. your guns. Let me tell you about rough greens. Pat you eat rough greens. Well, my dog does, yes. Yeah, but tell me, Jackie's gone for a week.

There's nothing else in the house. You know, I think that's one thing I feel like it was specifically designed for dogs. Okay. Yeah. Two weeks. She's gone for two weeks. I'm still just giving that to my dog. Okay. She loves it though. Yeah. She won't eat it. She won't eat anything without it. Jackie and the dog. Both love it.

Yeah. So I have a huge German Shepherd. Pat has like a little squeak toy doll. Yes, that's true. A glorified rat, really. Really? Really. Yeah. She loves it. She loves it. She does. Uno loves it. They go crazy for it. And I think it makes a difference in their health and just the way that they behave. It's just crazy. It's Rough Greens. Are you FFF Greens.com slash Beck?

You sick, twisted freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. We've got a serious hearing going on in Washington, D.C. right now about freedom of the press. Catherine Harridge is speaking and testifying in front of. of Congress on what she's going through right now. It's another huge violation of the First Amendment.

But what's new? Pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa. All right. We're going to... Don't look at me like that, Sarah. Sarah, who is our in-studio producer, is... Give me a dirty look.

Okay. I get it. Well, let me break for 60 seconds and reset. She threw me. She threw me. All right. Exactly how. How far into emergency situation do you have to get before you think to yourself, gee, you know

that Glenn Beck guy was right? I guess I should have prepared for this. Because if the answer is right around the time I find myself stuck in a mile long line stretching around the corner from the grocery store just to get some food, you might have waited too long. So here's what you should do. Your first step, my patriot supply.com. Stock up on multiple one-week emergency food kits.

Pat Gray is joining me today from Pat Gray Unleashed, sitting in for Stuberggear, who is off on assignment, as they like to say in the news biz. We have Catherine Ayridge. She's starting to testify and answer some questions here. Thank you, Ms. Harwich.

Ms. Cavallaro, you may begin. Good morning. Thank you. Committee Chairman Jordan, Subcommittee Chairman Roy, Committee Ranking Member Nadler, Subcommittee Ranking Member Scanlon. Oh my gosh. And distinguished members of this subcommittee There's nobody distinguished in that room.

... testify on fighting for a free press, protecting journalists and their sources. My name is Mary Caballero. I serve as a chief broadcast officer for SAGAFTRA, a national union of over 160,000 members that represents professionals in the entertainment and media industries. I am responsible for overseeing the union's collective bargaining agreements with our news and broadcast employers across the country.

I was invited here today for the purpose of providing testimony in support of the most basic of First Amendment principles. Okay. So in case you don't know what's going on and you're thinking yourself, my gosh, this is boring. There's got to be something else I can listen to. Let me jump in here and say, no, no, not so hasty. what she's about to testify on is how the union had to step in because CBS just fired Catherine Ayridge took all of her records including her confidential file on confidential sources, which the government is trying to get her to cough up and she won't.

So she loses her job. They take all of her stuff. And the union had to stand up and say, hey, maybe we shouldn't do this. You ever seen a case where the news organization did not support its journalist for not giving up a source? I've never, never, never, never, never, never. It doesn't happen. It's unreal. Right.

And especially to the government, you're going to give up the source to the government? Yeah. That's really dangerous precedent. It was a whistleblower and she's expected to tell the government who the person is at saying, hey, the government's doing bad things. No. No. And she stuck to it and went to jail even as a result of it.

They've put her, they've held her in contempt, which is weird because it seems the Justice Department only holds people in contempt and then pursues. sending them to jail if you're against the Biden administration. All right. So let's go ahead some more of freedom by safeguarding journalists and their confidential sources. The Press Act creates a federal statutory privilege to shield journalists from being compelled to reveal their confidential sources and prevents federal law enforcement agencies from abusing subpoena power to access journalist email and phone records. This long overdue legislation represents a significant leap forward,

not just for journalists, but for the sanctity of journalism itself, and for the constitutional right to freedom of the press. SAG after stands in solidarity with journalists, their employers, and press advocacy groups who share the commonwealth. It's another horse on the highway. Let me just tell you one other thing that I've never seen before. This is conservatives are the ones that are standing up for the press act. They're standing up and saying, we need to protect freedom of the press.

And it's the progressives that are standing up going, now, I'm not so fast here. When did we switch? Are we playing musical chairs? When did the music stop and we're all sitting in? different chairs. Any form of government control over journalists could chill the

instinct of a potential source. This was over her investigation of the FBI's investigation of a scientist ties to China. Remember that? Yes. China. Now, why

would the FBI want Who the whistleblower is that's blowing the whistle on spying stuff from Jedda. Interesting. Why? Hmm. Who do we know has does the Jeddah doing all kinds of Jedi's favors for Jeddah?

Who do we know? Who do we know? Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Okay, who's this third person here?

Full measure. Countless news stories that I broke or facets of them could not have been reported. Oh, that's sure. Charalachian identities needed to be protected. To name just a few, Enron, BP oil spill, Tart bank bailout, follow the money investigations on taxpayers' spending, congressional oversight, congressional fundraising, prescription drug and vaccine dangers, Haiti earthquake aid, K Street lobbying, green energy failures, waste and fraud at the Red Cross,

Firestone tires It's an amazing. Both of them are former CBS. Thanks to some information provided by sources. Cheryl was with CBS as well, right? And she walks away because she says CBS is gone corrupt. And it's fair to argue that a lot of important facts

would never have been exposed if journalists couldn't ensure protection of our sensitive sources' identities. Today's managed information landscape makes it more difficult for journalists in our sources to report on ethical lapses, wrongdoing, and crimes. More often than not, the truth teller, when named, is smeared and ruined while the wrongdoers carry on. They escape accountability and may even get promoted. They've seen what's happened

to Assange and Snowden. Their earth-shattering revelations quickly eclipsed by organized efforts to distract by controversializing them. So it makes sense to ask, what's the impact if we can no longer assure our sources that we can protect their identities. It's not a new concern. Years ago, after adverse court decisions started coming down on this front, I was at CBS and we began having to consider whether a confidential source in a story would be okay with ultimately having his identity revealed if a judge ordered it. Obviously, the answer was often no. I could no longer provide assurances to a whistleblower who feared for his career or safety that I could guarantee protection of his identity. Some stories still got done, but many became non-starters. There's no way to quantify

with any certainty what we've lost, but I don't think there are many investigative reporters who would say it's not having an impact. There are ideas to help, such as the Press Act, that would generally bar federal agencies from forcing telecommunications firms to turn over records belonging to journalists, but it's important to note that some of the most egregious intrusions on press freedoms don't happen that way. Our intelligence agencies, have been working, pardon me. Listen to this, this is really important. I need to clear my throat. She is

because she's witnessed this firsthand. Our intelligence agencies have been working hand in hand with telecommunications firms for decades with billions of dollars in dark contracts and secretive arrangements. They don't need to ask for permission

to access journalist records or those of Congress or regular citizens. Current efforts to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intellectives, surveillance act relate to this. There's a lengthy record of government surveillance abuses to be found in just the little we've been able to learn about. Intelligence officials have misled Congress about surveilling U.S. citizens, even spying on journalists and political figures, their staff, and allies. It's been a known problem for decades. An Inspector General report in 2020

found the FBI violated Woods procedures safeguards in every single wiretap audited. pardon me in just 29 FISA applications reviewed I just have to show you this is absolutely incredible can you take the camera from behind me please Stephen in the control room okay I don't know if you can see up at that monitor

but they're now showing on Blaze TV an inside shot of what I see all the time thank you there's a shot of the monitor and it shows four different news agencies. It shows in front of me all the time is CNN, Fox News, CNBC and MSNBC. Not one of them is covering this. So we're talking about freedom of the press,

qualified, unbelievably respected journalists who are not not right. They have been fair and I've always thought Catherine was was at least in the middle, if not a little left, haven't you? I think everybody feels that way about it. Yeah. Okay. So she's credible, but she doesn't agree with me, I'm sure. And that's one of their own. And none of them are covering this. And why are we covering it? Because they won't. You wouldn't even know

this happened today. You know, this is if a tree falls in a forest and nobody's around to hear it, did it really happen? Their answer would be no. If they don't tell you about Hunter Biden and what's going on, it didn't happen.

If they don't tell you about what's happening now, in Congress and what they're actually wrestling with, it didn't happen. If we weren't here yesterday to tell you what was going on with the FISA vote, you wouldn't have known about it. You tell me if you are somebody who votes differently than me and doesn't agree with me all the time. But you listen, first of all, thank you for having an open mind. Thank you.

but even you have got to be able to see this and say something seriously wrong. There are really important things. This is about the First Amendment, the First Amendment. Freedom of press. If you don't have freedom of press, you don't have freedom. So this is about freedom of press, the First Amendment. Yesterday was about the violation. Again, both of them by the government.

the violation of the Fourth Amendment. I'm trying to find where we have the Biden clip. I think it was in yesterday's where he was talking about Trump, where he was saying that Trump is, you know, because Trump comes out and he says, look, they're going to come after your guns. They're going to come after your guns. And do you have the audio of Biden responding to that?

Listen to this. What in your view constitutes the primary threat to freedom and democracy at home. Donald Trump. Seriously. Donald Trump talks, uses phrases like you're going to eviscerate the Constitution. He's going to be a dictator on day one.

You say whatever you want, but eviscerating the Constitution, that's being done right now. That's being done right now. The clip I was looking for, I don't remember when it was, so you might not be able to find it. But it was Donald Trump talking about you know, they're going to come for the guns. They're coming for the Second Amendment.

And Joe Biden mocking that and then saying he's going to take more executive action against guns. So yes, he is going to take away some guns through executive action. That's the Second Amendment. So in one week we have the first, the second, and the fourth. You skip over the third because that's about quartering soldiers at people's houses. Back in just a minute. I don't know if you saw yesterday, but the CPI numbers came out. And they're not good.

They're not good. That means inflation is up. And there's a story here from CBS News. The war against inflation was never going to be easy. Wait a minute. That's the first line. Wait a minute. You have a problem with that line from CBS, Pat?

Yes. Yeah. Why? Yeah, well, they're forming an opinion on and telling us the opinion we should hold on a news story. Why is it okay? So the war against inflation was never going to be easy. Let me tell you something. That's a new opinion for them, is it not?

Sure is. Yeah, that's a new one. It sure is. It used to be there is no inflation. Yeah. Or inflation is transitory, which means you just live with it for a while and it goes away. now they admit the war against inflation was never going to be easy. But the latest numbers in the Consumer Price Index demonstrates just how tough the fight of a fight the Federal Reserve is facing.

So prices went up again. And I want you to look at this as tax. You know, inflation is called a hidden tax. Imagine if I told you, I'm running for president or Congress, and I told you, I'm going to make your food 25% more expensive because I'm putting a 25% tax on your food. Would you vote for that person? The answer is no, right? We have a 25% inflation, invisible tax that you are paying because of what our government is currently due.

the policies that our government is putting into places. This kills me. The Fed's ongoing campaign to tame inflation is far from over. Now there's two main factors, CBS points out, contributing to stronger than expected inflation. One, gasoline prices and two, rent. Raising prices at the pump, partly doing growing U.S. demand. They're saying that we're just getting so rich.

We're wanting more. No, there's two parts of a price. Demand and supply. Which one's been cut? All right. Anyway, I gotta stop. Look, you're being lied to everywhere. I want you to get the truth from Lear Capital.

I want you to protect yourself. Get your free wealth protection guide. You have money that you have been saving for retirement. That all can become. worthless quickly. Lear will also credit your account $250 towards your purchase just because you're a listener of mine. So call them today. 800-957 gold. 8-900-9-7 gold. Please look for the wealth protection guide. It's free from Lear. 800-9-7 gold. Go there now. 10 seconds. Station ID. We have two more minutes. Are they asking questions yet? Here's Catherine. She's speaking.

But with all of the travail that you've been dragged through by the government, has anybody within the government been held accountable for these acts against you and your freedom? Congressman, based on my experience, I feel that we're in a very dangerous place as journalists. I'm facing crippling fines up to $800 a day for protecting my confidential sources. I'm fortunate that that has been stayed pending the appeal. Who's responsible for that, though? I mean, who are the actors within the government that are waging war against the freedom of individuals, like yourself, to report the facts that the American people need to form their own opinions?

If you're referring to my particular case, I want to be respectful of the ongoing litigation is in front of the appellate court. I want to emphasize that I'm only a witness in that case. Let me ask you this. Has anybody been held accountable for these acts against you? I know. Okay. Ms. Atkinson, what's your experience? Well, I think it's interesting to hear people say, and I agree with this, that the government should not be intervening in news coverage. But in my experience at CBS, that happens every day.

Members of committees, heads of committees, members of Congress and the White House call the Bureau in Washington, D.C., contacts that they have, editors and managers up in New York to try to shape our coverage. Well, that I don't find particularly objectionable as long as there is no force or threat of force behind that. Do you find that to be the case? I don't know what was said. I just know they call. There's no physical force threatened, but there certainly is a great deal of pressure.

I think you're getting the impression if you're not, you're half listening. We are entering very, very dangerous times. and all of our rights are at stake, and it's being decided right now.

Every weekday, 7 to 9 a.m. live or anytime, anywhere you get your podcast. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We want to give you Catherine Harage and her testimony regarding freedom of the press

and what she's gone through in a hearing in Washington currently going on. As you know, in February, I was held in contempt of court for refusing to disclose my confidential sources on a national security story. I think my current situation can help put the importance of the Press Act into context. One of our children recently asked me if I would go to jail, if we would lose our house, and if we would lose our family savings to protect my reporting sources. I wanted to answer that in this United States where we say we value democracy and the role of a vibrant and free press, that it was impossible, but I could not offer that assurance. The Bipartisan Press Act, which came out of this House committee,

would put an end to the sort of legal jeopardy that I have been. experienced firsthand in the federal courts. And without the legislation, more journalists will run the uncertainty of the contempt gauntlet in the future. This legislation will provide protections for every working journalist in the United States now and for the next generation. The legislation provides strong protections at the federal level for reporters and their sources. It would block litigants and federal government from prying into a reporter's files except when there's an imminent threat of violence, including terrorism and in defamation cases. At the state level, similar rules are already in place to protect press freedom. It is my sincere hope that the passage of the Press

Act will provide similar protections at the federal level. I hope that I am the last journalist who has to spend two years in the federal courts fighting to protect my confidential sources. No. My current situation arises from a Privacy Act lawsuit. I am a witness in the case. It is not common for these cases to reach the stage of holding a reporter in contempt, but when such cases happen, they have profound consequences,

impacting every journalist in the United States. Forcing a reporter to disclose confidential sources would have a crippling effect on investigative journalism, because without reliable assurances of confidentiality, sources will not come forward. The First Amendment provides protection for the press because an informed electorate is at the foundation of our democracy. If confidential forces are not protected, I fear investigative journalism is dead.

Each day, I feel the weight of that responsibility. As you know, I was held in contempt of court for upholding the basic journalistic principle of maintaining the pledge of confidentiality to my sources. I have complete respect for the federal court and the judicial process, and I'm not here to litigate the case. It will play out before the appellate court in Washington, D.C. But the fact that I have been fighting in the courts for two years and that I am now facing potentially crippling fines of $800 a day to protect my reporting sources underscores the vital importance of the Press Act. When you go through major life events, as I have in recent

weeks. Losing your job, losing your company health insurance, having your reporting files seized by your former employer, and being held in contempt of court, gives you clarity. The First Amendment, the protection of confidential sources, and a free press are my guiding principles. They are my North Star. When I was laid off in February, an incident reinforced in my mind the importance of protecting confidential sources. CBS News locked me out of the building and seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files, including confidential source information. Multiple sources said they were concerned that by working with me to expose government corruption and misconduct, they would be identified and exposed. I pushed back and with the public support of my union SAG AFRA,

the records were returned. CBS's news's decision, to receive my reporting records crossed a red line that I believe should never be crossed again by any media organization in the future. Okay. The litigation. Let me tell you, we are facing it. Let me just start here. The committee on un-American activities, was that a good thing or a bad thing?

I think it's perceived as a bad thing. The way it was done. It was a bad thing. Yeah. Okay. actually going and finding, but in going out and and arresting people for what they believed, et cetera, et cetera. Not a good thing.

Not a good thing. Not a good thing. Firing people because they happen to be a communist. Not a good thing. And not just because they're common. Hollywood would have kept them going. It was the government leaning on them and saying, you know what? Who else?

Who else? Maybe you're a communist. We all know that was wrong. There's going to come a time very soon, I think, of when everybody knows this is wrong. Everybody knows. You're on the wrong side of history. And it used to be hard to say that because you just don't, it wasn't as clear as it is right now. but everything that we're seeing going on, you are on the wrong side of history.

Now, George Soros's number two guy met with my number two guy years ago and delivered what I regard and everybody who was part of this regard as a threat. It is the reason why I did the puppet master three-day series on George Soros because on the advice of a very good friend, and he knew George Soros, when he said, he said to me, wait,

tell me the story again, because I was calling him for some advice. And he said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You got to get on the air right away. And you have to make everybody understand that you are the number one target. from George Soros, that you are his main enemy because there's only safety in the spotlight.

And so that's why I exposed him as much as I did. They were trying to get me to back off. And the word that was given to one of the guys who worked with me was an executive vice president at the time, Joel Cheatwood, he was told by the Soros, you know, number two guy, that your boss is hurting my. boss and this is going to end and you need to send your boss that message he's going to stop doing this and Joel cheatwood said no I I know my boss and I don't think he's going to stop and then it was said the ship is about to set sail and you're either on the ship or you're not but there's no turn in You will be left behind.

And Joel said to him, well, I'm pretty sure my boss would rather be standing on the dock. So here's the thing. They believe that everything is a done deal. They believe that this ship has already sailed, that we are just holding on to old, antiquated ideas, and a new world order is coming. You don't want to be on that ship. That ship is a very dangerous ship that is just riddled with pathogens. It's riddled with evil. It's riddled with just horrible ideas that have been discredited for centuries.

The principles that will last. And I don't know how long it's going to take. If we lose them, as Ronald Reagan said, the generation that loses them will never see them regained again. Let's not have that be us. We are very, very close to losing them. They think they're winning. I think they're scared. I think they're terrified.

Why else would they be going after Catherine Ehridge? why would you one person one Chinese spy was found she has the source that pointed the finger and said he's a Chinese spy

he's infiltrated us why would our government A not want to stop Chinese spies when when okay why would our government not want to do that

who has enough power to tell the Justice Department, go after them. I want to know who that source is. For what reason? To punish them for blowing the whistle on a Chinese spy? Hmm. They think they're going to win, but they are also terrified because the elections are happening all over the world. We're going to see what happens in Europe. Now, Europe doesn't have, I mean, they had Russell Bran, but have you heard much from Russell Brand? They have just decimated Russell Brand.

He was everywhere. And he was the voice of waking people up on the World Economic Forum, et cetera, et cetera, all across Europe. And people were waking up. Well, they destroyed him, destroyed him. destroyed him. They can't afford to have people wake up at this point. Because they know the minute you truly wake up, it's over.

It's over. You're not going to allow them to take away your rights. There is a special we did last night that I really want you to watch. It's up on YouTube. You can get it on Blaze TV now. We're going to talk about it next hour and give you some of the things that we spoke about. but it is you're about to lose the republic. How do you know when you're a banana republic?

When your politicians can go in as a bus driver and leave as one of the richest people in the country, right? When you have politicians go in as an average person and leave as much as much, multi-millionaires, something's wrong. We're either going to solve this quickly or we're going to die a quick death. The republic will be over soon. But it'll be up to us. And the only thing we need to do is inform ourselves, inform our friends, and then stand up for what you know to be true. you know it's not right to have the press

have the government come after them because they want the source of the whistleblower that blew the whistle on a Chinese spy that's not political that's not left right that's not Democrat Republican that's a Chinese spy you know that's not right more in just a minute convenience of the modern American life sometimes complicates our efforts to maintain our values for instance It wasn't that long ago if you wanted to have a good cell phone coverage.

He had to go with the big boys, companies like Verizon, and you didn't have really any choice. They could do whatever they want. They could donate to, you know, plan parenthood and you didn't like it. Sucks to be you. That's not America. That's not competition. Right now there's Patriot Mobile. That's competition.

They share our values. They're America's only Christian conservative. wireless provider. Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

that you will remember where you were or where you heard it. It's, you know, it's, you know, it's like Kennedy. O.J. Simpson has died from cancer. 76. Mm-hmm. At 953 central time. April 11th, you're of our Lord, 2004. O.J. Simpson.

Dead. You'll always remember where you were when you heard it. I was sitting in Stu's chair. Yeah. I was sitting right here. Already I'm talking about it. Right. Where were you?

I was sitting in Stu's chair. When you first heard it. Actually, I was laying on the floor because my back is a lot of paint. So I was actually laying on the floor at that for a moment. You remember. Yeah, I do remember. I do. And it was moments.

You're right. Minutes ago already. Yeah. And he hasn't, he still hasn't forgotten where he was found O.J. I'm having a hard time feeling. Bad? Bad? Just because he slaughtered two people?

Yeah, I mean, you know. I mean, I do feel bad that he had to spend most of his life on the golf course looking for the real killer. Yeah. I don't know what led him to believe that the real killer was a golfer. I don't know. I don't know. But, man, he was searching those golf courses for him. Maybe he was hiding in a hole or something.

You know what's really sad is I loved O.J. Simpson. I loved everyone loved O.J. Simpson. It didn't matter. Black, white, anything. Didn't matter. Everybody loved O.J. Simpson. Yep. He was in a way

Kind of I mean he was not as serious Taken as seriously as this But he was kind of like a Tom Hanks Where everybody just loved him Yeah Yeah they did Yeah

And imagine Tom Hanks Suddenly slaughtering to me You'd be like wow I did not see that coming No I did So keep your eye on Tom Hanks Okay right

I think that's what we're supposed to learn from this That's our take always today. You're not going to get that opinion anywhere else. I'll tell you that. Wait, Tom Hanks' attorneys on the phone? So anyway, I didn't even know he had cancer, but may God have mercy on his soul. O.J. Simpson, dead at 76. Hi, Erica. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. O.J. Simpson still dead. Still dead. We got word about 15 minutes ago. That has not

changed. Dan at the age of 76. We're going to be answering the question, too soon? Is it too soon to joke about O.J. Simpson? We're going to try to answer that question. I don't think it is. Do you? I think you've already answered the question, frankly. Well, no, I think the jury might still be out. Might still be out on that one. But we also have James Polis on. He is the Blaze Media editor at large, host of Zero Hour, And he is also the main guy, the host of bought and paid for how politicians get filthy rich. It premiered last night. It is really stunning information.

And we're the only ones that are doing this story. There's a couple of people online that have really worked years on this information. But nobody really is paying attention. But you want to know why. Hang on just a second. Just. yes, just news. Okay, I'm sorry to interrupt myself,

but O.J. Simpson still dead at the age of 76. After like 25 minutes? Yeah. It hadn't even been that long, though, but still dead. All right. Anyway, more. This information, if you want to understand why they're all hanging around when they're 86 years old,

you'll understand in the next couple of minutes. James Polis joins us in 60 seconds. Sure. Making the decision to shoot somebody isn't something to be taken lightly. You know, I don't even know if, well, he didn't shoot anybody. Do you think O.J. Simpson took cutting their heads off lightly? Yes. You do.

I do. You do. Okay. All right. You seem to. If there's somebody threatening you, your family, maybe you're just going to deliver ice cream, and you don't, you know, you don't want to shoot somebody because you're in California, let's say. I just, Brett would, just coming just off the top of my head.

Ooh, I didn't mean to say top of my head. But anyway, so you're just delivering ice cream. You don't have a gun because you live in California. You know, maybe a little tear gas would be good, you know? Maybe a few kinetic rounds. Now, these are less than lethal because I figured out the way to make them lethal. I think you'd just shoot people in the eye. Because that probably would, that might kill you.

Might kill you. You know, your mom always said it'll put an eye out. Well, I think a Brno launcher could do that. I don't recommend you try it, but, you know, it's not right for everybody. Let's just say that. If you really need to stop somebody in their tracks, up to 60 feet, you could fire one of these things, and you hit within five, six feet of them, and it'll hit the tear gas, and they're incapacitated for 40 minutes. It's Burnah.

B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash clint. These guys are shooters. They believe in the Second Amendment. They fight for it. but this is a less than lethal option that you should have. B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. Get the 10% discount now. James, how are you, sir?

Good. That was a great documentary that you were a part of last night. Well, I appreciate that. What was the, what is the, if you had to tell somebody in one fact, what do you think the fact is that makes people go, whoa, what? Well, you know, there's so many to choose from. I mean, I guess, you know, if for most Americans, wars, pandemics, these things are not business opportunities. They're not opportunities to make some quick cash.

But the reality is that in Congress, if you're sitting up there on the hill, you can take advantage of those opportunities and people do. You know, Nancy Pelosi always says, I don't, no, I don't, I don't, I have nothing to do with the, you know, the, the investments in my life. It's my husband. He's, he's, he's just a great investor. He's like a world-class never seen before kind of investor to do what they do, what they do with their money, right? I mean, it seems pretty clear what's going on. It's tough, though, because the evidentiary standards for proving something like, you know, quote-unquote insider trading, they're very difficult to meet. And the reality is, yeah, for them. If you have that kind of inside information and you have a sense of what's going to happen before it does and what stocks are going to pop before anyone else does, you know, yeah, it's fairly clear that you're not supposed to then start making trades. but you can, you know, you can say a kind word to a family member, to a staff member, to relatives of a staff member.

And there's really nothing legally to stop them from taking action on that. So it's the system that's ripe for abuse. There's a couple of things here. Let me play cut seven here. This is George Santos exposing how the congressional leaders silence opposition and what would happen to Congress if, you know, people started actually looking into their stock trading. Listen. I'm thinking, I want to go sign on to Abigail Spamberger's bill on individual stock trading.

I was told that if I signed co-sponsored a bill and made too much voluminous flare over it, that I wouldn't be seated. So I shut up. Who told you that? I had staff from the majority, from leadership. Tell me that. To my face on the house floor. Like, the threats that fly around are just absolutely insane. first classified briefing, which I unfortunately can't tell you guys for obvious reasons, unless you guys want me be tried. Then you'd have to kill me. Or I'd be tried for treason. Maybe both. Both, right? But it becomes a real issue because you hear this information in instant and you're like,

oh, wow, I know this before the country. If that level of scrutiny that you received in Congress was applied to anyone else in that building or the people who are at the top of both parties. What do you think would have happened to them? You'd be running 535 special elections today if they were real. If they apply the same level of scrutiny to me, you'd vacate the whole God's building. Why was George Santos selected to be the one who talked to you? Well, we reached out to just about everyone who is involved or might be. involved, whether in a good way or a bad way, with these kinds of trading practices.

And we were stonewalled. Ro Khanna, Rep. Rocana, it seemed like he might be interested. He played footsie with us, ghosted us. A bunch of other people, including the sponsor, a co-sponsor of that Bill that George Santos mentioned there, co-sponsor with Chip Roy, who we did talk to you. We got him on in the dock. everyone else just a big nope. So it was fascinating. I mean, Matt Gates,

uh, uh, George Santos, you know, these guys are considered mavericks or, or, or worse by a lot of even Republicans. But, uh, you know, when, when those are the only guys who are willing to speak to you, uh, it's because there's, uh, there's a code of silence just about it. It's like an omerta and it's very tough to penetrate. So, you know, we were very grateful to be able to get, uh, the inside scoop from those guys because, you know, they, they have been through fire and, and they are willing to say what others aren't. Here is Matt Gates from the special last night. Congressman Gates offered to take us on a tour.

So one of the committees where people have a lot of information is the Appropriations Committee because they can view almost any vector of government funding. And so, you know, this is Mr. Rutherford's office. He's on the Ethics Committee and the Appropriations Committee. 152 stock trades. Stocks go through the roof and, you know, actually bought. rate the on stock the day that Russia invaded Ukraine. Yeah, that's a big one.

Yeah, imagine if every American could make money off of war. Yeah, setting aside the whole shame and ethics questions. How many more on our hit list here? There are a few more. I wish there were fewer on the hit list. I wish we could only stop at one or two offices, but as it turns out, so energy is a sector that sees a lot of congressional stock trading. Sure.

And we have members who are on the Energy Subcommittee of Appropriations, like Michael Guest, Chairman of the Ethics Committee, and he's traded somewhere between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy stocks. He's been buying online gaming stocks and just making a killing on him. So you would think that the people that were on the Ethics Committee would be your best allies in this fight, but indeed they're some of the most prolific traders. And not only trading, but in the case of Mr. Guest, trading in an area where he has access to energy information more so than almost any other Americans.

And no indication that he wants to maybe slow down, pump the brakes, recognize that there might be some appearance of the pride here. It seems as though the pace is only accelerating. So let me go back to a bigger point, James. What does this say about why these people are hanging out so long in Congress? Why they just never seem to retire? Well, look, you know, I asked George Santos when he first got an inkling of how much patronage, how much of an insider's club, and how much potential for corruption there was when he was in Congress.

And he said basically day one, first briefing, you sit down to give you information. You know, he said it was eye-popping and he realized suddenly the intensity of what he was dealing with. I mean, look, you know, you heard Congressman Gates pointing out that you got guys on the ethics committee, chair of the ethics committee in Congress. And they're setting standards. You know, it's a domino effect. You spend a few minutes on the Hill as an elected rep, and you come to understand very quickly that there is a choice. Are you on team or are you off team? And this goes beyond just Republican and Democrat.

This goes to the heart of what is it that we're really doing here and how do we protect our ability? as public officials to avail ourselves of the advantages of being insiders in that system. It is a system that, you know, that really works as designed in that sense. And it's designed to keep people hanging around, taking advantage of what they can in whatever way they can for as long as they can. One of my very good friends is Mike Lee. And Mike tells me all the time, what the hell am I doing here? I am impoverishing myself.

I could be out making a good living. and, you know, in his times of frustration, he'll call me up. What am I doing? Why am I even here? This is not even good for my family, blah, blah, blah. When you have that kind of atmosphere, when you're not making money, it's almost costing you money to work there, that tends to have people come in, do it for a reason, and then get out.

we have these people who are hanging out for decades. Well, why wouldn't you? If I could get an 80% return on my investments year after year after year after year, why wouldn't you? You know, other than it's wrong. But wait a minute, I could double my money if I win two more elections. I could start with $150,000 in a bank account and I could be worth $30 million. if I just work here for the next 30 years, why wouldn't you?

Yeah, and you know what, Glenn, I mean, really what you're, what you're alluding to here is that this is really just the tip of the iceberg. Like, there is a symbiotic relationship between public officials and major corporations, in some cases, multinational corporations. And this is one facet of that relationship. And the longer that people stay around, the longer those networks develop and reinforce each other and police themselves, the more that both sides of the public sector, private sector divide, the more that that divide melts away.

And it enriches people and it corrupts people. And it creates very thick patronage networks that are just very tough to talk people out of participating in. You know, if you do get reelected, then you're back for a second term. And the pressure on you to play ball and to be part of the team is just immense. And, you know, I bet that some of Mike Lee's colleagues look at him and they go, you know, oh, this guy's, this guy's, this guy's, this guy's a pansy, you know, he's, he thinks he's better than us. He's, you know, he's, he's, for some strange reason, he doesn't want to enrich himself. There's peer pressure, you know, it is sort of like a weaponized high school in a way. Jeez, what a great term.

Weaponized high school. That is exactly what it is. James, thank you so much. I appreciate it. God bless. Absolutely, Glenn. All right. God bless. James is the Blaze Media editor at large.

He's also the host of Zero Hour, and he is also the host of this original from Blaze TV. If you haven't seen it, I so highly recommend it to you. It premiered last night, bought and paid for, how politicians get filthy rich. It is available to the public for a limited time now at YouTube.com.

BlasetTV.com. Before the premiere, I laid out, I think, one of the most disgusting chalkboards that I've ever done. And it is the dirty trick that Congress, you know, becomes rich on. And you would go to jail if you did the same thing. This is what the elites really are. When you say the elites, why would they do that? Why would they, why would they do that? Well, if you know war is coming and you can openly just buy shocks of stocks of Raytheon and Boeing and Lockheed Martin,

you know exactly the numbers of what we have left, what companies make those things that we're short on. I showed you last night. It's in this dock. It's amazing. the people who got out of airlines, carnival cruise lines, all of these things before you knew all of what was coming with COVID. Before you knew, they had already taken their gains and got out before things went down south. Because they had already been briefed. They're not representing you.

have a chance to talk about this i know we had this video yesterday do we still have it in the control room the ufo that was spot shooting through the clouds here in Texas. Did you see this? Yeah. It is weird. It is. Yeah.

If we have it, there it is. Let's go ahead and play this. Look at that. I mean, that's the craziest thing I've ever seen. Look at that. What is that? It's like, they're calling it a dragon, a flying dragon. Because it just went right in front of the sun behind the clouds.

and all you saw was a giant, it looked like a flying dragon. It kind of did. Yeah. And they don't know what it is. It's amazing. You know, in the year 2024, this could still happen where you're looking up and stuff

and you still can't figure out. I mean, we've got such incredible technology to videotape it, to photograph it, to get close-ups, to have high definition, and we still have no idea. Yeah. And I don't know. And look, we weren't freaked out.

I mean, look at us. We're humans. We weren't freaked out by the eclipse, although if you've never seen a total eclipse, which this is my first time, I just, I've seen eclipses before and I'm like, yeah, yeah, whatever. A total eclipse is completely different. I mean, I know we're not stupid, but it's so much more impressive. Yes. And it was a little unnerving. Even though you know exactly what's going on, it's a little unnerving.

When it gets cold and dark in the middle of the day with the sun out. Yeah. It's weird. It's really weird. But so we're not afraid of that. But we've come up with something else. You see that? That was an alien or a dragon.

It clearly was not a dragon. Clearly. Alien, I doubt it. Maybe it was a shadow on a cloud of a plane flying, you know. Maybe. Oh, you think it was a dragon? I think it was fire breathing. Probably dragon.

Yeah. Well, I didn't see any fire. No, but I mean, if he would have stuck around for a while, we would have seen the fire. Yeah. Okay. Where is he now? You went into space. It's a space dragon.

Is that where they live? Most of the time, yeah. Wow. Yeah. They come down every once in a while for air. And they go back up into space. So they're like dolphins. Yeah.

They breathe air. But they can go into space for quite some time. Hold their breath for really long periods of time. That's weird. Follow the science, gang. Follow the science. Exactly. What if I could have prevented it?

This is the question people ask sometimes when things go wrong. In this case, you're asking it while you're standing in your living room looking at the empty spaces where many of the things you valued used to be. They all went out a broken window facing the backyard and now they belong to somebody else. Well, it could be worse. You and your family weren't home, but it could have been better.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're very glad you're here. It is Thursday. You know, you've been pretty hard on our representatives in Congress today. I think unfairly so. Unfairly so. Unfairly so. Yeah.

Because, I mean, they're doing some solid things. Are they? Two. Really? Maybe not the ones who are on the take, you know, with the insider trading information. Right, which is about 70% of them. Right. The other 30%

They're on the job. And they're educating Americans. Really? Sheila Jackson Lee was out speaking to high school kids, for instance. Uh-huh. And she was talking about the moon, you know, because the moon was just in front of the sun and blocked it for a while. So I think she had some interesting facts.

Really? On the moon. On the eclipse and the moon. Yes. Yeah, okay, here it is. Let us provide unique light and energy. Mm-hmm. So that you have the energy.

of the moon at night. Right. And sometimes you've heard the word full moon. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle.

Which is made up mostly of gases. Oh, it's what? The question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon? Right. Are the gases such that we could do that? The sun is a mighty

powerful heat. it's almost impossible. Almost impossible. To go near the sun. To go near it. The moon is more manageable. Yeah. And you will see in a moment, or not a moment,

you'll see in a couple of years, but NASA is going back to the moon. With all that gas? Yeah. Well, yeah, because it's manageable, and it's a gas such that you can stand on it. You can't stand on the gas. Almost like the gas was a solid.

But it's a gas. But it's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. Now, see, I'm learning a lot here. Okay. It's not impossible to stand. No, but almost. On the sun. On the sun. Yeah. I mean, it'd be hot. Right. When you go there, you'll be uncomfortable. If you try to live there on the sun. I've been to places where it's hot before. Right. So it'll just be a little hotter than that. Okay. So we'll, so we'll bring an air conditioner. Okay, so I didn't know that, because I thought I was impossible to stand on gas. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Yeah. But she's saying that's not. Well, this gas is such that it's possible. Okay. To live there and to stand there. Wow. Yeah. Because we already have, obviously.

And hang on just a second. What was that full moon thing? The full moon was. Yeah, it's like a full circle. When you see the entire circle, the round thing, or in the sky. that's the full moon. You're not supposed to look at that round orbit the sky. No, that's okay to look at because its energy is such that.

Oh. Yeah. Oh, the moon's energy. The moon's energy. Yeah. And the moon's light. It's a pretty good light, but it's not like. It's more of a night light.

Yes. It's kind of nice. Yes. So what makes- I don't think she understands the moon doesn't have its own light. I don't think she knows that. I don't think she knows that. I don't think she knows.

It's awesome. Is that incredible? gas? Yeah. The moon? Gas. You know what? Could you play that again? Because notice no one laughs. Right. I'm not sure. Because she is not joking. Right. I know. But no one laughs. I'm not sure anyone in the audience knows she was wrong. Provide unique light and energy. So that you have the energy of the moon at night. No, you don't. And sometimes you've heard the word full moon. You've heard that. Yeah. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle.

Complete rounded. Which is made up mostly of gases. Right, right. And that's why the question is why, or how could we as humans live on the moon? We don't. Are the gases such that we could do that? No. We don't.

The sun is a mighty powerful thing. This is almost impossible. To go near the same. To go near it. Almost. The moon is more manageable. and you will see in a moment, or not a moment,

you'll see in a couple of years that NASA is going back to the moon. Okay. With the gas. With the gas. Yes. To stand on the gaseous moon. Wow.

It's going to be cool to see. So how much of that gas do we get from the moon? I mean, it must cost X on a lot to get the gas from the moon to the pump or is there a way? Do we have a hot? hose running from the pumps. It's a pipeline.

It's a pipeline. We have a pipeline from the moon to the earth. That she has been represented her district in Houston, Texas for over 30 years. Oh. I, it's, wow. She should never talk about space ever again or anything else for that matter. But definitely not space. She was at NASA and asked them while she was doing a tour of NASA about. about whether or not you could still see the American flag that was planted on Mars.

That was in the late 90s or early 2000s. We didn't plant one. No, we've never been to Mars. We've never been to, wait a minute, that's new now. Yeah, I know. I knew we didn't bring a flag. Didn't bring a flag. No, he left and we forgot it, right?

We forgot the flag. And then we forgot to put the human on Mars. Right. So, yeah, there's no flag on Mars. We forgot to put the human on board, too. Yeah. Yeah. Who is responsible for that?

It's stupid NASA engineers. Wow, so we landed a ship down there and nobody was on board. Nobody on board. Wow. Pathetic. Did it slip into the gas? No, not on Mars. What are you stupid?

Well, no. Mars. It's the moon that's gas. Mars is cheese. How do you get that butt stupid? I don't know. Seriously. I really don't know.

How could you, if you were sitting, because if you were sitting in a meeting, now imagine this, okay, you've been to meetings where you're like, this person's a moron. But you're doing work. There's something that you have to, you just have to plow through it because you just have to, you have to get through it. You're selling this person something, whatever it is, you do for a living. And you're sitting in that meeting and they say something stupid and you just have to go. Yeah. Huh. Huh.

And you just move on, right? Yeah. I don't think I would have the human restraint. No. No way. To sit in a room and have her say, and you know, that's the full circle and it's mainly gas. I don't think I could do it. I think this is a really, don't do this, kids, because Jesus would not have done this.

but I'm telling you, I probably would have. I probably would have played with her like a mouse and a cat. I probably would have been, wow, really, gas. What kind of gas is that? I think I would have. That is such that you can land on it and live there. I'd like to know. Yeah.

And so this gas, does it have any air in it? Or is it just oxygen? Or is it like a really hard gas, like a rock gas sort of thing? Is it that? Well, I know we brought some dust back. So we know it's a dusty gas. Yes. I couldn't do it.

Okay. Let me, speaking of representatives in Houston, let me give you this. This is from the Black Lawyers podcast, which I listen to all the time. This is Texas Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett. She's really good, too. Is she? She's really good. Yeah, she is suggesting now that black Americans shouldn't necessarily have to pay any taxes.

Here she is. Just this past week I saw, I don't remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity, and I was like, I don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea. But I'd have to think through it a lot. One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time because then again that puts money back in your pocket but at the same time it may not be as objectionable to some people about actually giving out dollars but obviously then you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that and that's one of the reasons that you know we argue the reparations make sense uh-huh that's powerful isn't that a powerful point

I still want to ask her about the moon. Content identifies as a commercial. Isn't that lovely? The Glenn Beck program will be right back. It's been six months since the brutal attack by Hamas on our brothers and sisters in Israel. And since then, the attacks on Israel have only increased, especially in the north. This is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews comes in. They are on the ground right now addressing all the needs as they come in.

Your life-saving donation today can help provide a bomb shelter in an area in Israel that needs it the most. When the siren goes off, people have 15 seconds or less to get to safety. 20 people can fit inside each mobile bomb shelter, and they're constructed to withstand the rocket attacks. The IFCJ has helped renovate and install nearly 3,000 bomb shelters. The cost of one bomb shelter is $15,000. Could you give $50? If 300 listeners give just $50 will have a new bomb shelter installed. If you're able to increase your generosity and give $500 or more, your name will be included on a special plaque placed on the bomb shelter.

To help, visit supportifcj.org. That's one word. Supportifcj.org. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad that you have joined us. I was going to talk today about Israel. Tomorrow, we, we'll be. are going to have somebody on, I think, and talk to us a little bit about Iran. She is Persian. She knows Iran inside and out.

She used to be in the Trump administration and really is a fan of what Donald Trump did. She's like it's, you know. With Iran? With Iran. Yeah. You notice things were much better than under Trump not in the entire Middle East. The whole world is laughing at us. And I don't care if they laugh and we think we're right.

They're laughing at us because they know the truth that we will not admit to ourselves. We are a country that is constantly shooting ourselves in the foot. We are constantly doing things that are bad for us. We won't fill the strategic oil reserve. and we are on the eve of war. I mean, and I don't even think people are even talking about that. You know, you had Russia come out this week and say that they're doing an investigation because we are funding terror activity inside of Russia.

That's their claim. What do you think is going to happen if they come to that conclusion? What do you think? What do you think we would do? Iran has been. saying that they are going to attack Israel and America. And does anybody really talk about it? We know there are terrorists in our country.

We know this because of the border. And there's a lot of them. There's a lot of them. And then let's just say 2% of the people in Dearborn. Just 2%. And we know that's not true because there's what, what it was that number, 49 or 50% of, of Muslims in this country, in this country, in this country, say Hamas was right.

Okay? And we had them chanting death to America in our own streets. What do you think happens? And they were quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini from Iran in Dearborn. They were quoting him. What do you think happens when he blesses a launch against the United States of America? and then we respond to them. What do you think is going to happen?

Like, what is wrong with everybody? It's, did you listen to in 1984 yet? Have you listened? Not yet. I haven't had it. Go to Audible. There's a new, it's a condensed version.

So it's not the whole thing. It's like a play almost. It's about an hour and a half. I finished it last night. Really, the first two parts are what you have to listen to. You just listen to the first. probably take you 20, 30 minutes. Go to Audible and listen to the first two parts of 1984, George Orwell, and just, I don't care who you voted for.

Because if you voted differently than me and you disagree with me, I believe you will come to the same conclusion. You'll just say it's different people than I say it is. but you cannot deny that these things are happening. I mean, it, I was listening to it and I was thinking, I mean, when they were talking about, you know, the kids who are being taught to hate, the kids who are being taught that they know more than their parents and their parents, you know, kind of afraid to say anything about it. It's one thing after another. It's no longer a science fiction book. It's not. It is fact.

It's happening now. So anyway, I'm going to talk about an idea of what I think is behind a lot of this stuff. And, you know, I think a lot of people will find it ridiculous. but I shared it with a rabbi a couple of weeks ago Do you think it was ridiculous? No, he didn't.

He didn't. And he has a reason to in some ways. I mean, the Jewish people generally don't believe in good and evil the same way some Christians do that evil is an entity and, you know,

it's slightly different views on things. and I really didn't think that he would because of that. And he said, have you, have you said that on the air? And I said, I don't think so. And he said, you have to, you have to. He said, I think that is, I think that could be right. So we'll talk about that tomorrow.

As we're doing, Passover is, what, a week from Monday. and the red the red heifer uh is supposed to be uh i guess sanctified and then burned um in israel which is didn't they get that from texas yeah they did yeah they did now there's been other red heifers but they haven't gone through with it in the past the 10th red heifer is the one that is supposed to trigger the return of of christ uh or the you know the messiah uh so So does that happen? They're saying that it's going to happen next week, but there is a few other things that have to happen.

And next week, we're going to go into the Red Heifer, and we're also going to tell you about the possible location of the Ark of the Covenant, because they can't rebuild the Temple and have it beat the Temple without the Ark of the Covenant, but some say they know exactly where it is, and it's ready to go.
