Glenn goes after the mainstream media's false narrative that Tucker Carlson is falsely portraying the events of Jan. 6, something the mainstream media is guilty of. Glenn lays out the most pressing qu...estions after multiple high-profile politicians spoke out against the transparency the Jan. 6 tapes give. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to discuss the footage from Jan. 6 and the corruption at the heart of the FBI, as the bureau appears to have suppressed crucial evidence.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson joins Glenn to take a deep dive into the Jan. 6 footage he released, his intentions behind releasing the footage, and the backlash he's received from both sides of the political aisle for daring to question the elites’ narrative.

Starting point is 00:03:55 I'm glad how are you. Oh, my. So I'm having a really difficult time trying to figure out, what exactly is going on with the media. And when I say that, I'm being sarcastic because I know exactly what's going on with the media. There's two things. First of all, let's take the claims from the Republican lawmakers. They're split over Carlson's false claims of January 6th.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And I want to look at the media. What is the media saying? And then I just want to point out again, go to Fox News.com, see if it's there yet today. Yesterday at FoxNews.com, not a single story on this. Not a single story. There's some up there near the top today of his conversation with the January 6th, Capitol Police officer that we were just playing on the four minute of us. And is it at the top?
Starting point is 00:05:04 Uh, yeah, near the top. Okay. Tucker Carlson talks with key capital police officer ignored by January 6th panel. Okay, good. So nothing about the video yesterday, nothing about the video today, but talks to the police officers. Now, I've seen this movie before. I've lived this movie. I had a starring role in it.
Starting point is 00:05:28 But now the sequel stars Tucker Carlson. Let me just give you some of these. House Republicans promoted Tucker Carlson's report falsely portraying the attack on the Capitol as largely peaceful event. Okay. Okay. All righty. You use that language? First of all, let me just clarify. What everyone in the press is arguing is different than what you're arguing. you and I are arguing, not that it wasn't a peaceful event. There were lots of people there that didn't have ill intent, but there's a ton of people there that did have ill intent.
Starting point is 00:06:17 It's like, gee, hey, do we have any audio by any chance of largely peaceful events? I mean, I think I've heard that someplace before. I want to be clear in how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not, it is not generally speaking unruly. There's a fire behind him. They are strictly principled anti-fascists, and they've taken a principal stand to stand against white supremacists and white nationalists wherever they may show up. I argue to you tonight, all punches are not equal morally. It says it right in the name, Antifa, anti-fascism, which is with,
Starting point is 00:06:58 they were there fighting. Listen, there's, you know, no organization is perfect. There was some violence. Any reasonable person would say we shouldn't be destroying other people's property, but these are not reasonable times. Okay, stop. I think we got it. I think we got it.
Starting point is 00:07:13 The entire media said to us, well, this isn't the same. I mean, yeah, there was some violence, but it was mostly peaceful. Okay. Or there was violence, but it was justified. Okay. I don't think so. I don't think it was then. I don't think it is on January 6th.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I don't think burning cities down or breaking into the Capitol smashing windows is acceptable. Period. Period. So can we now get past that and talk about the videotape? Sure. Chuck Schumer will say. Sure we can. He's taking this videotape and making it look like it's mostly peaceful.
Starting point is 00:08:01 No, he's not. No, he is not. He's showing them throwing things through the windows. Got it. Nobody said that was made up. Nobody said that didn't happen. You believe that when you talk about the video, what you're saying is,
Starting point is 00:08:26 wait a minute, how come the police were giving this guy basically a armed escort into the Senate chamber. What happened there? If he was so dangerous, what happened there? What happened with the selective editing of the media where they showed only one senator running
Starting point is 00:08:50 when if you would have just advanced it or rewound it maybe 15 seconds, you would have seen a lot of senators running. That selective editing. You can't, you can't edit things in that didn't happen. You can only edit things out the did. He's not editing anything out. Only the mainstream media did that.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Now, what's happening? What's happening? Well, you know now. The, the New York Times. CNN, everybody else, they are arguing that you can't call this a mostly peaceful event. Okay, I don't care. I really don't care because that label didn't fit with the George Floyd riots. It doesn't fit with Antifa.
Starting point is 00:09:56 And I don't think it fits there. It wasn't an armed insurrection, but it was. violent, parts of it, parts of it. Most of the times, unless I'm misreading this, most of the times I've heard people say that January 6 was a mostly peaceful event were essentially a satire on the George Floyd reaction, right? Like people are saying, they're saying, oh, it looks like it was mostly peaceful. I don't think anyone looked at the overall footage of January 6 and said it was mostly peaceful. I mean, that's not a, no, that's not a good description of it.
Starting point is 00:10:32 No. And we were outraged. I said that. Just as much, if not more than the left. Because you were like, see, I told you those people. And we were like, those aren't our people. Those people are stupid and going to cause all kinds of problems. And it's just wrong.
Starting point is 00:10:52 As many of them have now admitted. Correct. Even the people involved in it. Okay. So let me read the rest of this. The divide with the Republicans, the divide reflected a continuing rift in the party of those who want to move on from January 6th regarding it as political liability. Well, I'd like to move on from January 6th, but I don't want to move on when the facts aren't all in.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I'm not going to let you write history that this was the most violent thing to happen since the Civil War. Because it's not true. those and those who want to relitigate it publicly, quote, to feed the anger of the party's hard right base, which continues to revere former president Donald Trump, believing the lie that the election was stolen from him and insist that the riot at the Capitol two years ago was a justified response. Wow, that's a lot in one sentence, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:11:59 So that's the only reason. The only reason why you're watching is because you want to relitigate because you're angry and you're part of the very hard right base and you revere Donald Trump and you believe it was absolutely a lie that the election wasn't stolen from him and the capital riot was justified. I mean, I don't think I know anybody who believes all of those things. Wow. Wow. So, no.
Starting point is 00:12:45 What the New York Times says, effectively, Mr. Carlson is trying to rewrite the history of the riot to the right wing's favorite news commentator. to write it for the conspiracy theories about the attack. No, that's not what's happening. We're trying to get a balance here on what actually happened. So we know the, we know the press.
Starting point is 00:13:16 We know they're in the bag. We know they've lied over and over and over and over again. Always. I mean, do I need to tell you, the lies, all of the conspiracy theories that have all been proven to be conspiracy fact? Do we really need to go there? I think we're tired of hearing it. Every day there's a new revelation. Oh, I guess this did happen. And they called you a liar and a conspiracy theorist for believing it. Well, I let the video speak for itself. If they want to say that he didn't include all the footage,
Starting point is 00:14:04 did the mainstream press. So now we have Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer begging Rupert Murdoch to kick Tucker Carlson off the air because democracy depends on it. Democracy depends on it. I thought democracy died in darkness. I thought democracy died when you couldn't present all sides. I thought democracy died when you silenced
Starting point is 00:14:47 speech. When you said follow the science and Fauci comes on and said, well, basically that's me. I thought that's when democracy died.
Starting point is 00:15:04 No, we cannot have because the people are too fragile. The people are too stupid. We have to spoon feed them the story produced by, I believe it was an old ABC morning producer that actually produced the January 6th committee hearings. He actually took the videos, produced, added sound, selectively edited it for the, the most powerful presentation he could make out of it. That's called propaganda. That's not the facts. That's propaganda.
Starting point is 00:15:49 So Chuck Schumer says that you're too stupid. But here's what I really like. You also have some really great people. Well, let me just show you cut five here. Here's Mitch McConnell. My concern is how it was depicted, which is a different issue. Clearly, the chief of the Capitol Police, in my view, correctly describes what most of us witnessed firsthand on January 6th. So that's my reaction to it.
Starting point is 00:16:31 it was a mistake in my view for Fox News to depict this in a way that's completely had variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at Capitol Thanks. Your chief law enforcement official who got a cozy job from Nancy Pelosi to go to campus security in Berkeley? that official? Ha, the one that didn't answer the calls when they were coming in, hey, hello, anybody there? Back up, we kind of need backup. Could somebody give me an idea of what we should do? Hello, anybody at home?
Starting point is 00:17:23 You mean that official? See, he said something very telling there. It was wrong of Fox News to air this. It'll all come together in 60 seconds. Stand by. Brian lives in Alabama. He writes about his experience with Relief Factory. He says after taking Relief Factor for three weeks, 90% of my pain is gone.
Starting point is 00:17:54 It'd begun to limit my mobility and my ability to get things done at work and at home. And I am amazed at the relief I've gotten. I should have started taking Relief Factory a year ago when I first heard about it on your show. Thanks. Brian, thank you. I'm so glad that you're feeling better. Every day I tell you the story of somebody like Brian who has their life back. I have my life back from Relief Factor.
Starting point is 00:18:20 You want to get out of pain? Please just try Relief Factor. It's the three-week quick start. 1995, it's a trial pack, not a drug. Developed by doctors, hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more. ReliefFactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. Get the 1995, three-week quick start.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Again, relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. Relief factor, feel the difference. 10 seconds, station ID. So did you notice that both Schumer and McConnell are arguing the same thing the New York Times is arguing, which the people I know are not arguing. They're arguing that Tucker Carlson said that this was great. It was sunshine and lollipops and there was no violence there. Nobody's saying that, that I know.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Nobody's saying that. What happened on January 6th was a nightmare for a myriad of reasons. It was a nightmare should have never happened. It should have been stopped immediately. So we're not arguing that. We're not arguing that. We're arguing, wait, the media and the January 6th committee, they're covering their own tracks.
Starting point is 00:19:51 they had information for some reason they didn't pass that on to the capital police officers that day. They had information, but they decided not to secure the capital for some reason. They knew what was coming, but they did nothing for some reason. The question here is, why are they, why did they selectively edit to make this look just horrible? and not show you the full story on some of the people involved. Why haven't we found the January 6th pipe bomber yet? Why is it that the FBI has taken five people off their most wanted list? A guy they have videotape in the crowd with a gun and an earpiece.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Wait, was he an undercover guy? Why was he on for like five months on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list and then gone? There are several of these guys that had that going on. There's five people that were removed from the FBI's most one. Ray Epps? What? How? How is the guy with the horns on his head in prison?
Starting point is 00:21:13 But Ray Epps wasn't even charged. He came in and he was asked some questions by some Democrats, and he's fine. Okay, so that's what it's really about. Except they keep saying it was wrong of Fox News to do this. You see, Fox plays a very interesting game. Fox News didn't. I told you yesterday, nothing on the website of Fox News. However, Fox Opinion took up.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Carlson, he did do something. Fox News gets the credit, but it was one man standing against everybody else. I want to tell you about the U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Israel Del Toro Jr. In one horrific moment during his tour in Afghanistan, the Humvee he was riding exploded, leaving him with severe burns, 80% of his body. Doctors gave him only a 15% of his body. Doctors gave him only a 15% sent chance of survival, but he did. He survived. And then he went on to become the first fully disabled airman permitted to re-enlist. And he was also a gold medal winner in the Invictus games. After, after the burns. These days, he goes on and he tells his story to help others. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation made sure right away that he and his family received a mortgage-free
Starting point is 00:22:50 smart home has ton of smart features that help him live his life more independently so he can do what he wants to do for the rest of his life which is inspiring a whole bunch of people help heroes like del Toro when they need it most will you donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2t.org that's t the number two t dot org and go to blaishtivy.com slash glen if you use the promo code Glenn. You'll save 10 bucks on your subscription to Blaze TV. A couple of things coming up. Tucker Carlson is joining us on the program today. He will be on with us in our three of the program. Also, the fundamental transformation of our energy production, our power grid. It took a pretty radical turn in 2015. It was a global arms race to make sure that we turned green
Starting point is 00:24:08 everything. When Trump was put into office, the entire process was in jeopardy. That's why the world freaked out because they're way down this road on clean energy and the World Economic Forum and they can't tolerate anybody that will stop that. We laughed at the Green New Deal. Remember, that's never going to happen. That's crazy. Well, it's happening. Just exactly. exactly the way I told you it would happen. I said it would be broken up and put into another bill. And that bill was the inflation reduction act. It took the Green New Deal, broke it up.
Starting point is 00:24:51 It is, the only word I have to describe what is going on right now is treason. It is treason when you see what they have done. It's a preview of 21st century fascism. The government partnering with private companies funding the closure of reliable energy not only here, but all around the world with your money. And it's happening in your state right now. Our power grid is in danger right now. Now, we're also going to give you a solution because two states have just in the last couple of days, they're on it. And they took this up.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And so you need to know the facts, which you have not heard anywhere else. And you need to start pushing these bills. And the bills in the states, that one state has passed it already. And I read all of the articles on the next day. And they're like, this is a ridiculous bill. It does nothing. We don't even know why they would pass this bill. Well, I'm going to tell you tonight why they're passing that bill.
Starting point is 00:26:10 9 o'clock only on Blaze TV. Please join us as a subscriber, blazTV.com slash Glenn. Hello, Pat Gray. Hello, Glenn Beck. Stubrick here. How are you people? Oh, great. Good.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I've been worried about you. I woke up in the middle of the night the other night thinking, oh, my gosh, how we're Glenn and Stu. Really? Oh, yeah, cold sweats. Wow. Yeah. Uncomfortable time for me. Is it because you sold us fentanyl and you didn't tell us that it was fentanyl?
Starting point is 00:26:37 Is that what it is? Well, there was that. Yeah, okay. All right. He's been making cookies and then crushing fentanyl up in only our cookies. So, Pat, it's weird to watch this Tucker thing. It is. Because it feels very familiar, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yeah, it does. Yeah, it does. Seems like the, like 2009, 10, 11-ish. Yeah. Where one guy is left swinging in the breeze. And the network is getting praise. Oh, at least they're doing it. No, no.
Starting point is 00:27:09 It's one guy doing all of the work on this one. You said praise. Have you detected praise for Tucker's reporting on this? From whom? Oh, from friends and from people, you know, conservatives. Yeah, because I've seen a lot of criticism over it. But all the politicians that are speaking out are pissed at him, including Republicans. It's a matter with people.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Well, now, come on. Come on. Mitt Romney And Mitch McConnell They're conservatives Well they are Republicans But there's certainly establishment Republicans But again like the reason Tucker Carlson has this footage in the first place is because Kevin McCarthy gave it to him
Starting point is 00:27:48 Yeah So who is there a more establishment Republican than Kevin McCarthy? And he stuck by it too. Yeah. We actually stuck by it. Yeah. And they asked him about it yesterday if he regrets giving it to him. And he said no.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Why would you regret it? There should be transparency here. Right. I mean, that should be released to everyone. And I love how they continually accuse Tucker Carlson of lying. As they continue the unbelievable lies that seven people were killed by that mob. They keep trying to, and they've extended the number of people who were killed. And they've called it an armed insurrection. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Armed insurrection. And they can't find the pipe bomb guy. They have... Which they have video of. Right. They can't find anything wrong with what Ray Epps did. They can't find the guy who was on the scaffolding tower. They can't find the guy who was beating a police officer with a club.
Starting point is 00:28:49 They can't find him. They took him off the FBI Most Wanted list. They took a guy with an earpiece and a gun in the crowd on video. He was one of the FBI most wanted. He's gone. Do we have actually, yeah, here's the slide. Here's, uh, this is, uh, the ginger gun. And he was on the FBI most wanted list. He has an earpiece and there's a video of him and you can see him pull his shirt down.
Starting point is 00:29:16 There he is pulling his shirt down over his gun. You see the gun. Why, why is the FBI suddenly not interested in that guy? Show the other one. Um, oh, you didn't get the other one. Okay. So, but there's an, there's another one where this guy. was breaking into the Capitol,
Starting point is 00:29:34 violent, and beating a police officer with a baton. Oh, geez. And he was on the FBI, most want a list, and for some reason he's been taken off. And the FBI won't say why they took these guys off. Come on. Come on. And all they could talk about was the QAnon shaman. I mean, how many times did we hear about that guy?
Starting point is 00:29:58 Oh, no, but. And then you see what he actually did. No, no, no. Did you hear? Didn't you hear? Last night, the Capitol Police Chief came out and said that was just to de-escalate things. They weren't
Starting point is 00:30:11 giving them a tour. They were just de-escalating. Why wouldn't you de-escalate it by sending him maybe to the snack counter not the Senate chamber? Right. That doesn't seem bright. And I do think there is, I mean, officers definitely do this type of thing, right? where if there's a mob and they're outnumbered,
Starting point is 00:30:32 they will try to de-escalate a situation and not just try to rush the mob and try to win. This case, however, in particular, is important because there are moments where he's the only one and there are nine police officers around him. You didn't have to do anything to de-escalate. Put him in handcuffs and throw him a closet.
Starting point is 00:30:50 De-escalate. This guy, this makes no sense. It makes no sense. And here's the problem. He pled guilty. Right. Okay. That's why he got four years. But he was facing 20 if he didn't do a plea deal. He was on the low end of sentencing guidelines.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And if you'd say, look, guys, I didn't know it was, I was walking with the police officers. You have any evidence of that? No, but I was walking with the police officers. Well, there's no evidence of that. Well, yes, there is, Your Honor, but it's been deemed top secret. it's called the cameras in the Capitol. He wasn't allowed to have a defense. Despicable. You remember what happened? You remember what happened to me in Boston?
Starting point is 00:31:38 Were you with me on that trip? So we talked about, and I got to be careful what I say, because of an agreement, there's a guy that I believe, to this day, I believe to this day that I have beliefs that maybe shouldn't be said on the air. I just think if you've had an agreement. So anyway, agreements are agreements. Yes, but I can't remember all the details.
Starting point is 00:32:10 How come only we have to apply by agreements? Why is that? I don't know, but be careful. Here's the thing. I went to court. I had a document that was given to me by a whistleblower. Okay. And it proved the case. The court said, oh, where did you get that document? Well, I can tell you that it was given to us by a whistleblower at this place, blah, blah, blah, but I can't give you the whistleblower's name.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Well, then we don't know if that's a real document. Well, then all you have to do is ask for this page and this series of documents and you can look it up yourself. And they didn't have to search for it. You knew what document was. We knew where it was. And the White House sent five attorneys, five, to, really, to go against this, really? And what they did eventually, they said, no, we're not going to do it. And they were held in contempt. And they finally had to turn it over.
Starting point is 00:33:11 But they turned over all of these pages, 100% redacted. Okay. Not a single word in like 300 pages had a word. but it didn't have black on it. Really? Not one word. Not one word. So I just said to our attorneys, tell the judge, because the page number is on ours and the page number is on theirs.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Why don't you compare the page numbers? Because we did. Identical. Okay. Every period, end of sentence was exactly where it was. Clearly the same document. clearly. Nope, can't admit that. That's not evidence. Well, you can't defend you. This is what I said for, oh, at the top of my lungs with my poor attorneys, how can you defend anything if they hold all of the keys? All the evidence and they won't let you see it. And they won't let anyone see it. You can't prove yourself innocent. You can't prove anything if they are the ones that have complete control of all the evidence.
Starting point is 00:34:23 That's what happened to the shaman. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, it seems like with him, too, he was really legitimately, like, felt bad about what happened. And, I mean, I don't know. You never know when you're someone's in court, they could be making it up. But he seemed, you know, he's had some issues.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I mean, you may know by his dress that he, uh, said, maybe had some, um, some mental health, uh, challenges. Maybe. And, uh, over, over his life. And I think he really, like, felt legit. legitimately bad about what had happened. And I think pled guilty because he just felt like he should. He felt like he committed a crime and felt like he should.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I think also when you're facing 20 years and you're sitting there listening to the FBI and you know they have blood out for you and you have no defense, you can't produce any evidence, I think I might have taken four years. Now, I would be skeptical that they would ever have given. this evidence up, of course, but he seemed to have short-circuited the even process of getting it because he pled guilty on the early side. But again, that's his own choice and, you know, there may have been reasons he wanted to do that. It seems like, at least by his description, he felt like it was just morally the right thing to do. Like he just felt he had. So there's a hardened
Starting point is 00:35:41 criminal that needs to be thrown away. And again, I think that that's a, I mean, even the judge in the Case said he believed, believed this guy that he really felt terrible about, you know, any crimes he may have committed, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And, you know, he, but still, he wound up getting almost four years in prison. Well, yeah, because he was wearing horns. Right. Yes. I think the horns were scary.
Starting point is 00:36:04 He deserved everything he got, you know. Face paint, mm-hmm, should do that. Yeah. There's no defense for that. No. I mean, I think, except you have to. Were you not wearing horns? Right.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Except you'd have to go to like Minnesota and arrest a lot of the Viking fans. Okay. I mean, there are people that go to, you know. Good reference. Thank you. I know. Is that surprising or what? Why do you pick the right state?
Starting point is 00:36:27 Yeah, the right nickname. Wow. What is happening? Teenage son. I mean, but you look at people in the crowds and you're like, that person is a lunatic. Okay. I mean, that just that. He deserves it.
Starting point is 00:36:42 That fan just. just happened to be, you know, at the speaker's desk in the House of Representatives. Yeah. I mean, isn't it true, though, like what we're learning, I think, from this stuff is something that we would, I think, I'll admit, was true as well with the George Floyd riots. That there were people who were burning buildings down. And there were also people who were out watching. And there were also people who believed in the cause and were walking by and didn't burn buildings down. Correct.
Starting point is 00:37:07 They shouldn't all be thrown in prison. Correct. Right? Of course. Could one of them put in prison? It would be nice if one of it was. And not bailed out by our vice president. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Yeah, right. And like, why can we admit that? But they can't admit it. And then here they're trying to make the January 6th thing. Like, what this, all this evidence seems to prove to me is that a couple of things are true at the same time. There were some people who did really bad things at January 6 and deserved to go to prison. There are others who maybe deserve to slap on the wrist.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Maybe they shouldn't have walked in there. Maybe they did a couple things they shouldn't have. have, but should be treated completely separately from insurrectionists. And then there's a lot of people who did very little wrong. If anything at all. If anything at all. If anything at all. And the same thing with the George Floyd riots.
Starting point is 00:37:55 But the other thing we learn, the other thing we learn here is that the government and its allies had money and influence in the crowds to get them to riot. And we're finding the same thing here. There was influence from the government. There was influence from the government with George Floyd and excuses made. And this time, influence and jail time. It's dirty. That's the problem with this. That's what this story is about.
Starting point is 00:38:30 So now whether it was violent or not. What did the government do? What was its involvement from start to finish? Back in a minute. Thanks, Pat. Ever imagine back when you were turning into an adult, you'd be where you are today, you know, all of the responsibilities, the assets, the liabilities, and also the debt. Debt is going to become more and more of a problem. The Fed is going to continue to raise interest rates.
Starting point is 00:39:01 We are in a self-inflicted death spiral soon. They're going to keep raising the interest rates and they're going to keep spending money. I mean, it's just going to, it'll kill the economy and then it'll kill your savings as well. Look, you've got to get out of debt or at least this high interest debt because right now the average credit card is 21%. That's insane. You'll never be able to pay that off.

Starting point is 00:43:32 Welcome to the Glennback program. You know, um, when people would sabotage a country. They were traitors. And there was a, you know, there used to be a time when we were in war where if you sabotaged the plants, the factories, anything that would hurt the United States of America and its
Starting point is 00:44:00 ability to function, you were a saboteur, a traitor. If you were an American, a traitor. Just a if you were from another country. Well, we have sabotage going on right now, and it's being done by citizens of the United States. In fact, many of them have taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern time, I am going to show you the shocking sabotage that is being done. right now intentionally by our own government to destroy our ability to generate enough power
Starting point is 00:44:48 to run our country. It is real, it is happening, it's in the law, I'll show you the examples of it where it's happening, nobody knows this is going on because nobody's actually read the 3,000 pages of the Inflation Reduction Act. It has nothing to do with reducing inflation. It has everything to do with the Green New Deal. And let me tell you something. It's not even about green. It's not about green energy. It is about destroying America,
Starting point is 00:45:30 destroying our ability to make energy, our ability to survive and our ability to actually have a currency that's worth something. And it will be very clear.

So what is it that we need to learn from history? Well, one thing we need to know is the origins of some of these agencies, even the non-governmental agency, the Federal Reserve. It was started in the dark of night.
Starting point is 00:46:29 No one in America was for it. They tried to establish it several times. A game was played with the biggest, richest bankers in the country, and they got the Federal Reserve in. It's way off its charter now, and it's the source of most of our problems with our money. The Tuddle Twins and the creature from Jekyll Island. That tells you the history of the Fed, and more importantly, it'll teach your kids what the Fed does, and how a free market is supposed to work. They'll understand and be able to navigate

Starting point is 00:47:28 We have one of my favorites. In fact, I think the best person on the economy is Carol Roth. She's the author of War on Small Business. She also has a new book. Do you know when it's coming out yet? July 11th. July 11th. 7.11. Lucky roll of the dice.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Right. And it will be, it is called, you will own nothing. I don't think you're going to like it, but you will own nothing. You'll love the book, and it comes out July 11th. Can you pre-order it yet? Not yet, but I will come back to you soon. Okay. Well, actually, you can pre-order it, but we don't have the pre-order bonuses. So we want to get everybody those bonuses.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Okay. So Carol, I want to talk to you a little bit about what I see in the news that I don't understand. I don't understand. I'll listen to some people talk and they will say, we're done. I mean, recession and worse is coming our way. It's right around the corner. I see things like no one is working at places. You can't hire the people to do the jobs now.
Starting point is 00:48:44 And where did they go? Because the unemployment numbers seem to be good. Inflation around the world is the, in Britain, the food inflation is up another. 18 percent. Are we dodging a bullet here? So it's a really good question, Glenn, and I think the reason why you are confused about this, and frankly, so many economists have gotten this wrong, is everybody's looking for benchmarks, and we are in unprecedented times economically. You know, we've never had a period in history where they decided to keep interest rates suppressed, and frankly, need zero for 15 years, just completely suppressing and creating this easy money policy.
Starting point is 00:49:34 We've never had a period in time where the people who are in charge of the most robust economy in the world said, hey, we'll just shut down a third of it for a little while and then try to turn it right back on and assume there's going to be no problems like we're power cycling a modem. We've never had a point in time where we've had the Federal Reserve print so much money that they then have $9 trillion on their balance sheet. So all of these things have caused massive disruptions to every piece of the economy, not to mention, you know, looking forward to your special tonight, you know, the crazy energy policy that has created this under supply throughout the economy in oil, in labor, you know, in food and in housing, all of these areas where the Fed, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:26 We can't print those things like they print oil. So a lot of people are saying, you know, why is it that the Fed is raising rates and, you know, we're not seeing the immediate effect of it. And a lot of it is, I call it the recession being late to the party. It's not that they're not going to show up. They're just being fashionably late because we have so many weird things that we're working through where there are no benchmarks. You know, if you've had cheap capital for 15 years, if you are a business, you have plenty of capital that you have locked down at low interest rates.
Starting point is 00:51:04 So you probably anticipated this and don't necessarily need that, you know, today to work through whatever it is you're working through. A lot of consumers have locked in those interest rates. So, you know, when we see the Fed raising rates, it's going to take a little while for people to run out of that debt capacity and to see. say, okay, I need more. And so we're really just seeing that timing issue that's going on because of all of these central planning mistakes, or perhaps you believe it was intentional, you can make a good case either way. But the central planning messing with the economy. Okay. So I see things like car repossessions going through the roof. Okay. So that's happening. But at the same time, I keep seeing these labor statistics that show everybody's got a job, it's great.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And then I hear, well, no, they fudged the numbers. And I don't understand what's happening with the labor numbers. Okay, so let's unpack this. And I'm going to use both retail sales and labor to sort of explain this. So as Mark Twain said, three kinds of lies, right? Lies, damn lies and statistics. So anytime you're looking at data, most people who work with it try to normalize it to throw out things that are unusual to make more sense of it and to make it easier to understand and interpret and predict from. So if you had things that are crazy highs and crazy lows, you might throw that out.
Starting point is 00:52:35 What they do in terms of things like retail sales and the labor force is they do a seasonal adjustment. And so the best way for you to understand this is, you know, during the holidays, season. Lots of people decide to do their shopping in November's December, and then that falls off a cliff in January when people are returning things and are all tapped out. So they make a guess based on historical benchmarks. Like, what should that look like on a normalized basis based on everything that we've seen? And we're just going to make those adjustments, which sounds great until things don't behave like they did historically. So for example, if you think about retail sales, Morgan Stanley says, normally we would have a 20% drop between December and January in
Starting point is 00:53:25 retail sales. But what happened this year is people started shopping early, December wasn't quite as robust as they planned. So January didn't look quite as bad because December wasn't quite as good. So those sales only came down 16.2% when they were projecting them to come down 20. Oh my God, retail sales are great. the same thing happens when you look at the hiring numbers because we don't have as many people in the labor force. If you think about all of those retail employees who are working, right, they're expected to be laid off in January, but now they didn't even have enough people to hire.
Starting point is 00:54:02 So they expected that there would be three million jobs cut in January, but there were only 2.5 million. Oh my God, what a great difference between December and January. So this all goes into them trying to adjust the data and, you know, use it, you know, seasonally adjusted. And again, you can say that this makes sense or is nefarious. I think there's a case to be made on both sides. But that's why you have this divergence that is difficult for everyone to get their arms and their heads wrapped around when you see what's going out on out in the real world. So when it comes to inflation, the Fed is raising the interest rates. but the government is spending money unlike ever before.
Starting point is 00:54:47 No matter what Joe Biden says, we are just pouring money out of the door. The idea of raising interest rates is you slow the engine down. You start people can't buy things. They have to kind of scrimp and save so they're not going out and buying things. They're not buying new houses, new cars, et cetera, et cetera. And that sucks the interest rates. sucks the money in to be destroyed. But if you're doing that and you're spending more money than you could possibly take in, why are we still relatively okay? Well, so you've sort of explained it,
Starting point is 00:55:31 right, is that the Fed is trying to destroy demand. They're trying to slow things down. And one of the ways they do that is they send a signal to the government. They've given the government the permission through easy money for, as we said, about the last 15 years, to be able to spend and finance that at a low rate. Now, as they're raising rates, that's supposed to send a signal to the government, hey, it's become really expensive for you to borrow. You need to slow your rate down. And the government has said, too bad. We're just going to spend like drunken sailors. No disrespect meant to drunken sailors. So that basically means that completely means that component of the GDP is going to stay very solid. It does another thing, though, psychologically,
Starting point is 00:56:13 if you think about it, Glenn, if you had the government practicing austerity, if you said, we need to slow things down, then all of a sudden you as a consumer went, oh, well, maybe things aren't as great as they possibly are. The government's practicing some austerity. I'm going to practice some austerity, too, because I'm worried about what's going on. That's not happening. The government is sending a signal that everything is fiscally sound, that it's okay for you to spend, and that signal is going through the rest of the economy as well. So you have consumers saying, well, you know, they're not going to pull back. I'm not going to pull back. And another thing, that you have things like the cost of living adjustment that happened because of inflation,
Starting point is 00:56:58 that hit almost 70 million Americans, you know, starting in December into January of this year, that's effectively more stimulus into the economy. So you still have all of the stimulus going on. What the Fed should be doing here is saying, you know what, we're out. We don't have the tools. Government, this is on you. You are overspending. You are creating the policy that is keeping people out of the labor force,
Starting point is 00:57:26 that is keeping oil prices high, that's putting up barriers to create more housing. This isn't something we can fix. This is something you fix. we're out you do it. Unfortunately, nobody has the kohannis to do that. Or it's something else. Correct. Correct. Or it's something else. Yeah. All right. Let me come back to you because I want to talk to you about what the other central banks seem to be doing that we're not doing. Other central banks around the world are doing something that seems like common sense to me. And my grandfather
Starting point is 00:58:00 used to say, you know, if we would have known what the rich were doing before the depression, we all could have done it and it would have been a lot better. I think this is the ultimate example of that. And we'll talk about it coming up in just a second. Tom from Virginia reached out to tell us about his experience with real estate agents, I trust.com. He said I spent nearly four months with a local realtor without a single offer on my house, despite two drops in price. So I changed the realtor. I found that I found through real estate agents I trust your company, Glenn. And I changed. I changed.
Starting point is 00:58:35 It's out of that this realtor was out of Ashburn, Virginia. She gave me better data showing the price of my house what it should be listed at, what I needed to do to make my house present better. And the result was a full price offer within two weeks. Her name is Michelle. She's fabulous. I'd recommend her to anyone. Tom, I love hearing about this.

Starting point is 00:59:20 10 seconds, station ID. So, Carol, you know, the other thing that could be going on, is that they know that this is a game that they've overplayed and there's kind of no way out and, you know, no easy way out. And so if you cause, if you just, if you just end this system and you have a net to fall into, which is digital currency, you can, you can shift the whole world. And I think personally that's what's happening. but because things look pretty okay, people are used to because the last 20 years of going,
Starting point is 01:00:11 oh, well, there's no real price to any of this. It's always going to be like this. Everybody's a, you know, naysayer on this. But China, now it appears we are heating up a war with China. With what China is doing, when does this start to affect our supply line again? I mean, I wish I had that crystal ball and I wish that more companies took the lessons of the last few years and the huge over-dependence that we have on China. Some people and some companies have lessened their supply chain and their dependence on China, but not nearly to the extent that we need it. And there are critical elements and components of all different kinds of things that we get, you know, from producing energy to
Starting point is 01:01:01 producing medicines and so on and so forth that are very important that I don't think there has been enough focus on bringing that back here to the United States. And unfortunately, we're seeing some of the hallmarks. I think that you're kind of alluding to. You have China who is increasing their gold supply and they have been lightning up on their treasuries. So, you know, that sends a signal. That is something that the Russians did before they invaded Ukraine. is a very similar kind of history rhyming situation. And while there may be other reasons for it as well, it's certainly something very, very important to watch.
Starting point is 01:01:42 But I suggest for everyone, if you have critical things in your life, particularly medicines or other things that you need, look where they're coming from. And I certainly don't want to get myself or anyone else in trouble. But if there is a way for you to find any creative way to stockpile these things and not be on a month, month to month basis with something that you need to live. That is a very important thing for you to
Starting point is 01:02:07 be doing. I agree. And there are legal ways that you can do it. But you really should do it. Again, my concern is, and we both represent gold line. So I, you know, I want to make sure you understand this is not a commercial. But what the central banks around the world are doing, they are going into gold. And they are stockpile. gold. That tells me they know storms are ahead for currencies. And, you know, when anybody starts to stockpile anything, the only one that isn't stockpiling really anything is the United States. We are depleting ourselves of everything we have. And I think that the most challenging thing here to put some numbers around it. Last year was a record year for central.
Starting point is 01:03:01 banks buying gold. As far back as they've been tracking it since the 1950s, 1136 tons, I believe, of gold that they added on a net basis. And China was back in buying again in January. 14 tons of gold. They just bought. Yeah. Yeah, a lot. A lot. What are that challenging things that comes out, as we talked about, the numbers and the fact that you can't really trust the United States government is if you look at the distribution of gold, holdings. It says that we have the highest holding. Now, granted, it's nowhere near the amounts that we have
Starting point is 01:03:37 when we used to be on the gold standard. It says that we have 8100 tons. I don't know if I believe that, but this is what Central Blanks are doing. This is what you should be doing as well. I will tell you, it's interesting that, you know, you'll see a picture of the queen next to their gold.
Starting point is 01:03:52 She'll take a tour. You can't take the, I don't know the last time you were allowed to take a picture in the 70s maybe. We don't know what gold we have now. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Carol Roth, make sure you pick up her new book. You will own nothing by Carol Roth. You can pre-order now wherever you buy books. The Glenn Beck Program. So Patricia lives in Michigan, and at one time, she was in constant pain, knees, hips. Now, she's in her 70s, so she sort of thought, okay, I'm in my 70s. This is what I'm,
Starting point is 01:04:31 is what happens. But she had a difficult time getting in and out of chairs and out of her bed. One day, she turned on the radio, she was listening to me talk about Relief Factor, and she decided, you know what, I'm going to give it a shot. I've had it with pain.

Starting point is 01:06:01 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. We have Tucker Carlson joining us in about half an hour. You don't want to miss that. I'm anxious to talk to him. A lot of questions. And I think it's really simple to clear up what he's saying. You know, everybody is fighting over.
Starting point is 01:06:22 He's trying to make it look like it was mostly peaceful. Oh, you mean like all of the press and the Democrats tried to make the George Floyd riots look mostly peaceful? Yeah, I don't think that's what he's doing. He's clearly stated that, no, no, it was bad in parts, but it's not what they say it is. And the video, I don't see how he's taking it out of context because you can't add things that aren't on the video. Well, I mean, I suppose you could. Do you hear the DOD is now looking for permission to get into the deep fake world? Oh, that's going to be good.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Oh, no, that's going to be really good. By the way, something happening today. I'm rooting for it. I mean, you know, take your own stand, but an asteroid is coming near Earth miss today. Again, I'm rooting for. the asteroid. But in a very strange post, the asteroid, this is from NASA, the asteroid is the size of 112 camels. Now, I don't know, I remember when we tried to go on the metric system and nobody wanted to do. I don't know when we went on the camel system. And are those cigarettes,
Starting point is 01:07:47 are those actual camels? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how big a 112 camels are either. I'm not really, in America, we're not all that up on our camels. And are they camels lips to butt or shoulder to shoulder? I don't know. Shouldn't we know this if we're going to be killed by something? I just could be specific. You're not asking for more than is necessary.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Right. Right. Right. I'm just wondering. How are you measuring these camels? Who's writing? Who's writing? the stories for NASA.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Who's out there going, oh, well, we'll use the camel measurement. Everybody knows that. No, nobody knows that. Plus, I mean, are we trying to say. Circus people, maybe. Maybe. There are a lot of camels in circus. Well, there would be at least one.
Starting point is 01:08:38 And then you could go, okay, just imagine 112 of them. But still, you don't know. Lips to butts or shoulder to shoulder. I just don't like how they're just saying that every camel is exactly the same. You know, these are individual camels. Some of them are a little thicker. We don't even know how they identify. We don't.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Some of them might identify as an asteroid. Others may not. Anyway, in Maryland, this is going to be, this is going to work out really well. Okay. Who would see any problems coming from this? In Maryland, felony murder occurs when someone is killed in a felony crime. Like robbery being committed. Getaway driver hits and kills a pedestrian.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Okay. well they are now trying to change that in maryland with the youth accountability and safety act uh apparently if let's say you got a baby driver and he's under 25 he shouldn't be held responsible and felony murder his brain hasn't fully developed till he's 25 so if you if you are on felony murder the you know and you're under 25 you don't you don't get charged with murder which seems like this is going to work out really well by the way um your brain is developed and and enough development has gone on at the age of five to choose your own gender but uh if you murder somebody no at 24 no way no way that's unfair um
Starting point is 01:10:19 And this is the youth accountability and safety act? Yes. First of all, YAS is the actual acronym. But I will say, what does this do about accountability except remove it? Yeah, exactly. Well, that's what we do now. That's what we do now.
Starting point is 01:10:35 By the way, the Attorney General in Washington, Washington State is, you know, kind of a ministry of truth there. The Attorney General is advocating for a bill. uh, that will, you know, put the attorney general in charge of, uh, information. And he can go after domestic extremism or misinformation. So some are saying this is one of the most dangerous bills ever to be proposed in Washington. But, you know, that's the people that don't understand that your brain's not fully formed at 25. So you can't be held responsible for murder either.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Um, I think that's, uh, that's wonderful. Um, the FBI whistleblower, new one today. claims the agency forced him to, you know, juice up the domestic terrorism numbers. Can we make this a little better? Now, he said the way they did that is, you know, when you're investigating domestic terror, like you're on the domestic terror order to find out about, you know, September 11th. You don't have 19 cases because there were 19 hijackers. you have one case that looks at 19 hijackers.
Starting point is 01:11:50 The FBI decided that they want to look at this differently now. So if I have a group of crazy Christians out in front of an abortion clinic, and there's 200 of them, I've got 200 cases of domestic extremists we're looking into right here in River City, because there's trouble. Come on. See, this is the problem. This is what Tucker Carlson is trying to get America to understand.
Starting point is 01:12:28 It's not that there weren't any bad guys at the Capitol on January 6th. We all know that. We all know there were really bad guys, did some really bad things that should be in jail. And you know what? I don't think any vice president, Mike Pence, wouldn't have bailed them out? You know, we leave that for our Democratic vice presidents. So what's happening? This argument is all about the government.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Is the government telling you the truth, the whole truth, and the nothing but the truth? The answer to that is no. They're juicing the numbers. They specifically, this is another one, the FBI specifically targeted pro-lifers after Roe was overturned. Whistleblower told Congress yesterday that on February 10th, Wichita resident agency in the Kansas City field office of the FBI testified before the House Select Committee. During the testimony, Mr. O'Boyle, the former FBI agent, alleged that while the agency initially created the tag, threat to SCOTUS 2022, to investigate threats against Supreme Court justices in the fallout of Dobbs, that tag eventually devolved into a means of targeting pro-lifers. When this threat tag came out, I was like, why are you focusing on the pro-life people? It's pro-choice people who are the ones protesting or otherwise threatening violence in front of the Supreme Court Justice's house.
Starting point is 01:14:12 He claimed the pressure, he was pressured to ask sources about pro-life people. Why would the pro-life people know anything about this? Again, corruption. Anthony Fauci. Did the press tell you the truth? I mean, it's pretty easy. I don't understand what's wrong with America right now. I really don't.
Starting point is 01:14:40 This is sincere. I don't get it. You have one thing after another all now. It's not like Benghazi. Yes, she did. No, she didn't. Yes, she did. No, she didn't.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Yes, she did. No, she didn't. We know now. We know now. The evidence is there. In some cases, the media has admitted it. but then they say it's no big deal. Well, it was a really big deal because you said this was a conspiracy theory that was threatening our democracy.
Starting point is 01:15:16 Well, we don't have a democracy. But the other problem with that is if just the idea of this happening would be so dangerous to our democracy could break us apart, that means that the action that now is proven, might be a bigger threat to democracy. But they don't seem to care about that. They also don't seem to care about our border, which is a conspiracy theory. It's totally under control.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Really? Do you know, in 2015 in Seattle, they had three overdoses of fentanyl. Three. Three. Last year, they had 685. Where's that all coming? from. I mean, do you think maybe there's a place starts with C, ends with A, and has
Starting point is 01:16:13 yeah, in the middle of it? But we've got the best of people watching over us. Let me just give you this. The security person for Representative Cory Bush is Nathaniel Davis the third. Now, what I like about Nathaniel is he, If you're a security, you want security people. This guy is the best because he says he can summon tornadoes at will. He can cause earthquakes with his hate. He can conduct blood rituals to bring ruin upon his enemies. That one I probably don't want, you know.
Starting point is 01:17:00 I don't want somebody. You know, you can bring on some earthquakes with your hate as long as we're on the same side. That's fine. But the blood rituals? No, that's over the line. He is a intergalactic master of physics self-defense, and he's, I mean, he's pretty good for his age. He says he's 109 trillion years old. Now, this is the guy who is working with one of our congressmen.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Congresswoman, can I say that? Congressperson would be more, I'd be more comfortable with that. 137,000 is what they're paying this guy for security services. Now, the other thing that, you know, I don't even know if we have to even mention, but he's also a teacher. And he's been teaching classes on how to read minds, summon mythical beings, maintain your urban garden. And that one seems like one of these things just doesn't belong, right?
Starting point is 01:18:07 I mean, gardening tips. I'm summoning mythical beings. If they're mythical, then they wouldn't be real. But, okay, you're going to learn that. You're going to learn how to read minds. And you know what? Let me show you how to take care of some potatoes. What?
Starting point is 01:18:26 Well, it'll make sense because he says everybody should maintain their urban gardens to avoid having to buy food from the Jews. That What? You know, that's a green thumb tip I hadn't heard before. You know, I hadn't heard it either. Yeah. But now that you have heard it, I don't know if you can unhear it.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Yeah. You know, grow your own arugula to stay away from the Jews. I've never. Right. Well, he says that you just have to liberate yourself from the genocidal Jewish cabal that runs the world. And do that through cherry tomatoes. I mean, it's got to start someone. He's got to start some.
Starting point is 01:19:05 That's true. That's true. You know, do you have his experience? Do you know? I mean, I can't start earthquakes with my hate. No, and you haven't. You're a youngan. I mean, you're listening to kids.
Starting point is 01:19:15 He's 109 trillion years old. Right. Which you, I mean, he's just the drain on our, you know, Medicare services for that sort of lifespan is really really scary. No wonder we're in debt. Yeah. Well, there's more on him. I'll get two here in a second.
Starting point is 01:19:31 I definitely want more on him. Oh, yeah. I've got more. We'll do that in just a second. First, let me tell you about Andrea, who wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, our German Shepherd has been suffering with skin allergies and infections. She has slowed way down because of it, and she also has a bad hip.
Starting point is 01:19:49 Well, we started using Rough Greens about two weeks ago, and the best word we can use to describe her now is happy. She has more than a bounce in her step that's back. She seems to be walking better. Her coat is shinier as well. that's two weeks. That's great. Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black discovered most dog food lacks the kind of nutrition that your dog needs. So this is a supplement that you put on your dog's food and it has everything, including the probiotics that are so important.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Rough Greens is so confident that your dog is going to love it that they have a special deal for you. You just go to roughgreens.com slash Beck. They're going to give you the first bag free. It's free. All you pay for is shipping. Just go to roughgreens.com slash back. That's RUFF greens.com slash Beck. 833, GLEENN-33.
Starting point is 01:20:36 833, Glenn 33, Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Glenn Beck. All right, so I wanted to tell you a little bit more about, you know, the psychic, the psychic defender of Cory Bush. He says he's come to teach people how to survive. And, you know, he said, well, the biggest thing is the Rothschild family runs the Western world. And he said, you've got global elites looking to kill every last one of us. They want to wipe out half the population on the planet. And it's all planned by the Jews. Now, you know, one of the more interesting things, I think, is he is a high priest. He is the,
Starting point is 01:21:40 he's a member of the priesthood of the sun moon, sun moon, sun moon, which I don't know what the sun moon is. Well, someone like you wouldn't. Exactly right. It's right. It's right. Because I probably listen to my Zionist masters. But he says he has a lot of supernatural abilities, including the ability to, you know,
Starting point is 01:21:59 summon hurricanes, tornadoes, levitate and retrieve winning lottery numbers from the spirit realm. He said, now that one he doesn't do because it causes a lot of unintended, has a lot of really bad unintended consequences. So he doesn't do that one very often. but he's got that now he says he chooses not to use his most destructive powers however in May 2020 he did say that he can cause his enemy's teeth to fall out whenever they speak his name which is completely written oh my gosh my teeth just fell out that is bang oh my gosh I will never speak his name again. I've learned my lesson.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Well, I'm going to try to find some teeth, and I'll come back. We'll get you some pudding, too. Thanks. It'll be like Joe Biden. The Glenn Back Program. Look, Air Canada, does a sold world. Super, an offer for the assort.
Starting point is 01:23:23 Station Thermal, Volcan. Parlant of Volcano. You've seen the price for the Japan? Mmm, Eparg and sushi. Wow. The sold are good for Mayork also. We could
Starting point is 01:23:32 go to the beach and do you know to be a long march on the beach in Sicil. Hmm,
Starting point is 01:23:38 I adore the canolies. Wait, this sold is denduris limited. Reserved to R-Canada.com or at your
Starting point is 01:23:45 agent of voyage. The conditions apply. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glennback
Starting point is 01:24:31 program. Really the big newsmaker of the week has been Tucker Carlson and it's not for anything
Starting point is 01:24:40 that he has said, it is for him showing what I believe is the truth. You know, there are lies of admission, lies of omission. The left, the media, the politicians have been omitting an awful lot. Now, they say that Tucker is selectively editing, but you can't edit things in that didn't happen. You can edit things out, which is what. the left did. AI hasn't taken over enough. We don't have enough deep fakes yet.
Starting point is 01:25:15 Not enough. Not enough. But that will happen soon. So what is the problem with what Tucker is doing? Well, they're arguing something that I don't think he's saying. They're saying that he was trying to make this. I can't believe it. These are, this is the words of the New York Times.
Starting point is 01:25:33 He's trying to claim this was a mostly peaceful event. Are you, how many times do we see whole cities on fire? It's mostly peaceful. That's not what his point is. His point is somebody's been lying to us about what really happened. And where are these people like Ray Epps? Why wasn't he charged? Something's wrong.
Starting point is 01:26:00 The best guy to talk to about it is Tucker Carlson. He joins me in 60 seconds. I want you to imagine an emergency situation. It doesn't have to be, you know, war with Russia. Although that's a pretty good one. considering where things stand. I don't know, Stu, more likely to go with China or Russia at this point, or both. Both.
Starting point is 01:26:20 Sounds like the right answer. Wouldn't it be great? Anyway, my Patriot supply can help you out if you're just even worried about, you know, a storm coming your way, and you're snowed in and you can't get out, and you just don't have anything but soy sauce and duck sauce in the refrigerator.

Sleep better, knowing that everything's going to be fine. No matter what happens, you're prepared. Mypatriotsupply.com. Mypatriotsupply.com. Hey, Tucker. How are you,
Starting point is 01:27:03 man? Tucker. Hey, Glenn. How are you? How are you? Good. I couldn't be better. Luckily, I'm so cut off. This is, we were talking about it earlier today. I recognize what you're going through right now. I know you do. You're one of like three people in the world you understand.
Starting point is 01:27:29 It is crazy. It is crazy to watch it from the outside. So, Tucker, first of all, can we just get this out of the way? are you saying that this was a peaceful event or are you saying this was of course not no no no i'm just we were i tried to be pretty i wrote those scripts myself so any you know any overstatement or errors of fact or my fault um but i tried to keep it specific we focused on a couple of individuals three and there jacob chansley the qanonan shaman brian sick nick the capital police officer who died after January 6th, and Ray Epps, the mysterious figure on camera promoting violence,
Starting point is 01:28:14 who was for some reason not indicted, put on the FBI's most wanted list, then pulled off, and thanked by Democrats for his service. And we assessed each of those stories in light of the new tape that we reviewed. And in the first case, I merely made the point that here's a guy, Jacob Chansley, a Navy veteran, who's doing four years in prison for some species of domestic terrorism, but none of us have ever been shown what he did to deserve four years in prison. And now we know. And there's videotape of him being led around by Capitol Police into the Senate
Starting point is 01:28:46 chamber. And at one point, they try one door. It's locked on his behalf. They're trying to get him into the Senate chamber. Then they lead him in. It's on tape. And he goes into the Senate chamber and immediately says a prayer out loud of Thanksgiving for the police officers who let him in.
Starting point is 01:29:00 Okay. So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. he is being escorted by the police, but the captain of the Capitol Police said just last night that this was to de-escalate the situation. And I'm sure there was a lot of de-escalation going on. I'm speaking of a very specific case where this was not de-escalation. It was something else.
Starting point is 01:29:29 And I can't really guess as to what it was. I merely put the video up. and drew my conclusions, but of course, viewers are welcome to draw their own. But here you have a guy who's walking alone. There are no other protesters in the frame, and there are nine armed Capitol Hill police officers around him. They do not stop him. They don't try and slow him down. They don't try to bring him to an exterior exit.
Starting point is 01:29:51 They bring him, they lead him, trying different doors into the Senate chamber, at which point, as I said, he says a prayer justly of Thanksgiving for them and their assistance. Now, I don't, and again, I can't even guess as to what motivated them, what we're looking at here, but I know what we're not looking at, which is an act of violent terrorism. And yet, this guy's doing four years in jail. And I'm trying not to use profanity on your show, but like, what the heck is that? I mean, for real, like, what is that? And don't tell me it's something that it's not. And so the main conclusion that I drew is that Chuck Schumer and the horrible tenant minority leader, Mitch McConnell, filthy man, and Mitt Ron.
Starting point is 01:30:31 Omni and Tom Tillis and Senator Kramer of North Dakota. They're all lying. They're all lying. And a lot of them are Republicans. Why are they lying about what we can see plainly? And why didn't they want us to see it? And again, I can't sort of fill in that blank. I can't answer that question.
Starting point is 01:30:48 But I know deception when I see it. It's demonstrable. It's proven. And they should, I think, be asked to explain themselves. Like it's not enough to say, oh, it was the worst violent insurrection since Gettysburg or something. Okay, fine. Stop with the overstatement. the hyperbole and just explain to me what I'm looking on the screen and seeing, you know?
Starting point is 01:31:06 Tucker, because I've been in this situation before, let me ask you, if I came to you and I gave you some edited footage of something and I said, no, Tucker, this is what it is. You're not going to believe this. I mean, I'm going to show you some stuff, but this was an armed insurrection. It was really bad. Let me show you, and I've edited some tape and given it to you. if that turned out that I edited out the things that you found, would you just kind of go quiet or would you come out and blast me to smithereens?
Starting point is 01:31:47 I'd feel deceived. And as you know, you've worked in television most of your life. You've worked around pictures. You know their power. And you know their capacity to deceive. nothing is more fleeting than pictures. You think you're seeing the whole story,
Starting point is 01:32:04 you're not, and all of us who work in this medium know that. And so I think TV people, above all in movie people, anyone who works around pictures is very aware of their power and their capacity for deception. And so we're suspicious. Okay, you show me those pictures, you whip me into a lather,
Starting point is 01:32:21 but is there something you're not showing me? Did you edit that? And so from the very first day, I wanted to see all the video. And I, and and I don't understand why other, why is MSNBC and CNN and, you know, NBC News and CBS and like, why is no one else interested? Well, I don't know. It's beyond not interested. They, if they were innocent of this, if they were just saying, hey, we're just reporting what we have been told and what we were given, I would feel very deceived.
Starting point is 01:32:53 And I would be the loudest in the room saying, release all of it to me. because what I just saw doesn't match what you gave me. Why aren't they standing up and defending their own honor and integrity? Well, that's it. That's it. Oh, God, I'm so grateful you said that because that's the core of it. It's not even, thank you for saying that. It's not even about politics, partisanship, power.
Starting point is 01:33:19 It's about dignity. Yes. About your own self-respect. I'm an adult man. I'm 53. I have four-grown children. I pay my taxes. I'm a citizen lifelong of this country.
Starting point is 01:33:28 You can't lie to me. You diminish me when you do that. And if I participate in that, if I allow you to lie to me, then I'm no longer a free man. I'm a slave. And that has to do with me. It's not even about you. I have self-respect. And I cannot allow that to continue without me saying something about it because I respect myself.
Starting point is 01:33:48 I hold myself to higher standards. I'm not, you know, I'm not Mahatma Gandhi or something. I don't, I don't want to overstate my virtue. I'm not very virtuous, actually. But I do have some standards. of self-respect, and they don't, and it's shocking to me. You called the January 6th committee members liars, besides suggestions that, you know, Sitnik was murdered,
Starting point is 01:34:13 not even suggestions of claiming that. Do you make the case that they're liars? They didn't just, you know, fib a bit and eat around the corners. that these are full-fledged liars. Well, that was the stunning part to me. I've been in Washington my whole life, and my dad worked for the government, so I had a kind of root-level trust in government
Starting point is 01:34:38 or a trust in government, but like the whole thing can't be fraudulent because I know the people who work there. My dad is one of them. Like, this is, you know, I'm very much from that world. I guess that's what I'm saying. So my default setting is not,
Starting point is 01:34:49 they're lying about everything. I've never assumed that. And so I was shocked to learn that they were lying intentionally. And the way that we know that, have a very specific way of knowing that, which is when January 6th committee researchers looked at video, they bookmarked it. They left an electronic mark on the video they watched. So we know what they watched. And then we watched it. And so there is video of Chanseley, of Ray Epps, and of
Starting point is 01:35:16 Brian Sicknick, that we know they watched that was not included in the report, was never mentioned in the hearings, a year and a half, a thousand witnesses, 850-50-page. report and this video, which overturns the story they were telling, proves it was a lie, they saw, but hid. So, you know, I'm always hesitant to go to motive because who understands people's motives? You know, you can only really guess about them, but in this specific case, we know that they lied. And that just blew my mind. I mean, you know, some of these guys have Adam Schiff lies. I think Adam Schiff, there are spiritual forces surrounding Adam Schiff. Like, I think he is a force of darkness, and I mean that. But somebody is,
Starting point is 01:35:57 Benny Thompson evil? Like, I have trouble believe. You know, like, is, is, I mean, I've known Liz Cheney for 25 years. Is Liz Cheney, like, actually a liar? I just always assume she just disagrees on the, on the issues with me. No, it turns out Liz Cheney is actually affirmatively a liar. She knew information. She withheld it because it challenged the lie that she was telling to the public. And that just completely, I mean, call me naive, I guess, I'm sure everyone listening's like, how stupid are you? Well, I guess kind of stupid because I was blown. away by that. So I know you don't want to go into motivation, but this is a pretty large lie. I don't want to use big lie because that's what Schumer used and Hitler used. But it's a pretty
Starting point is 01:36:41 large lie. What is the motivation? Well, if you, you know, again, I can only speculate, but I know the effects of the lie and they're not small. This is an event that was, a complex event with many facets, and they simplified it immediately into a good versus evil tale, as they do with everything, partly because they lack nuance and imagination and sophistication, but partly because this was a tool they were using for a purpose. It was a cudgel they were using to beat down their opponents and grab more power for themselves. And in effect, what it did was change the definition of terrorism from something that, you know, exists in other countries and is aimed at us to Republican voters, populist voters.
Starting point is 01:37:34 I shouldn't say Republican because Bernie Sanders, voters, Trump voters, anybody who questions the legitimacy of the current powerholders is now redefined not as a political opponent, but as a terrorist. And that has very specific consequences. It means all of a sudden you can harness the world's largest law enforcement organization, the FBI and the intel agencies, CIA, NSA, defendants. intelligence, all of them. And you can harness them against your political opponents. That's exactly what they did. Not just in the hundreds of people who went to jail and the almost 100 who were still
Starting point is 01:38:07 in jail without trial, was political prisoners 26 months later. But all the other people who are just political activists who have views, honestly, people like you, like they can read your text messages. They did read mine. NSA read my text messages and then threatened me with them. And, you know, I brought this to members of Congress. They had a hearing on it. NSA admitted they did. did it, and then nothing happened. You know, the director of the NSA is still in office. Like, nothing happens. And you realize, wow, the largest organization in human history, the federal government, has been harnessed as a political tool. It's like the one thing you can't allow. And we have allowed it. It's happened with the complicity of Republicans, certainly with Mitch
Starting point is 01:38:50 McConnell's complicity. And that's just mind-blowing. And then it's like, well, what do I do now? You know, I'm not going to leave America. I'm from here. I love this country. I have four kids. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay here. But you really start to feel like I've always thought I was a very patriotic person, fly the American flag, believe in the country. And all of a sudden, it's like the power centers in the country, the government, which is supposed to be nonpartisan serving all of us equally as citizens, that's turned against me like I'm some al-Qaeda member from Balukistan or something. Like what? It's very bewildering, I will say that. I think part of it is because we forgot what Washington said, which was, you know, government is like fire. You control it. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:39:34 If it controls you, it'll burn everything down. And we confused our love of the principles of our country with the love of and trust of our government. Trust the principles, not the government. I'm back with Tucker Carlson here in 60 seconds. We're moving into a moment in our country's history that might be remembered. as the time when the Republic fell. I hope not. I hope to God not. But this thing needs to be unplugged and plugged back in and restored to factory settings. It has to happen. I don't know how, but it has to. We in the meantime need to make sure that we have an alternate economy and we're
Starting point is 01:40:21 working and supporting people who are supporting us and working towards the same thing. And that is the restoration of our principles in this country.

Starting point is 01:41:25 So Tucker, what is it that what if, you know, I think you're making points that I understand, but the left intentionally is misunderstanding them and trying to direct the conversation into places that you're not you're not suggesting what is the message that you want people to walk away with this week what's the point of what you're doing that you're being lied to and that you deserve better your government's not allowed to lie to you that's against the law they're not allowed to lie to you it's your government and you should demand better. And I would say in a very specifically, I've alluded to it a couple of times, that for people who are not, you know, supporters of President Biden,
Starting point is 01:42:18 who think the system needs reform, that it doesn't represent them, it doesn't serve their interests, those people are Republican voters because they have no option. They vote for the Republican Party. There's no third party, a meaningful one. And so very specifically, they have to demand more from their own. representatives or else democracy isn't real. It's a representative democracy. That means your will is expressed through the votes of the people you vote for to go to Washington on your behalf. And that is absolutely not happening. Their priorities are in a different universe from
Starting point is 01:42:49 the priorities of their voters. You don't see that on the left. Democratic politicians make some effort to represent their own voters. Republican politicians do not. Mitch McConnell has zero interest in what you think about anything. And that is a, that's a structural problem with the party. And I don't know what it, like, what the fix is. I think part of the problem is that Republican voters don't like the donors don't like Republican voters. They clearly don't, you know, and the biggest donors to the Republican Party think Republican voters are disgusting. And that's, that's a huge, huge problem. That's not true on the other side. So I don't know, but I, you know, there's kind of nothing you can do about Merrick Garland if you're your average voter, but if you're a member of Congress
Starting point is 01:43:34 is like not even bothering to listen to what you care about. You have a way to replace him. It's called a primary. And I don't know why that never happens. I mean, I really don't understand. I mean, Adam Kinziger would still be serving in the Congress if he wasn't redistricted out of his seat. And like, what is that? You know, were the majority of Republican voters in his Illinois district on his side? No. But he would have gotten reelected. So there's a problem with our system, and I hope that can be fixed. I want to, by the way, do you have another 15 or so minutes? Of course.
Starting point is 01:44:07 Okay. You know, the other thing that I think needs to be addressed is these people that have just dropped off the face of the earth, EPS is one. There's something very wrong there. And a couple of people, there's been, I think, four or five that have been dropped off the FBI most wanted, not because they've been found is because, well, I don't know. The FBI just stopped looking for them.
Starting point is 01:44:36 And you can't go from the most wanted to a nobody. And I think this goes to the question of who are the police officers that were giving, you know, given the tour? Who is Ray Epps? Why can't we get any information on people like the guy that they called ginger gun, uh, who had an earpiece and a handgun in his belt that was wanted by the FBI and then not wanted by the FBI. There's there's something else here that needs to be dug out beyond, you know, the guy with horns. What did he do? There's much more. A Glenn back program. Back at a minute. Once upon a time, common knowledge that precious metals like gold and silver were
Starting point is 01:45:26 the standard that kept everything afloat.

We're with Tucker Carlson talking about what he's been talking about on television this week with the January 6 commission. You know, there's, you know, when you watch the Josh Holly segment, where they
Starting point is 01:47:20 made fun of him in the January 6th, you know, hearing, and everybody's laughing at him, that is so incredibly petty to selectively edit. When you know everyone was running out and he was one of the last to run out,
Starting point is 01:47:39 you just edit that sliver. Why would they do something that pay i mean why would they do that because that's who they are and they can't help themselves and by the way if it's just going to be like small ball twitter level political theater and they're just generating memes out of the congress okay that's you know whatever that's fine but don't tell me it's 9-11 then like both things can't be true do you know what i mean if it's like pissing on josh hall he's a coward he's not really a man and like the party of gay rights is going to smear him by implying he's gay.
Starting point is 01:48:15 Like, the whole thing is so weird anyway. But whatever, that's who they are. They're low. Okay, fine. But then you have the Attorney General standing up and telling me that this was an assault in our democracy and the FBI is to get involved. Like, no, that's
Starting point is 01:48:31 not allowed because you're degrading our core institutions when you do that. The Attorney General of the United States got on television yesterday at a hearing and said five Capitol police officers were murdered on January 6. Well, that's not true. No capital police officers were murdered on January 6th. And what were their names? And where are the autopsy reports and like, how exactly did they die? Why don't you tell us? This is the
Starting point is 01:48:52 Attorney General. This is not Eric Swalwell on MSNBC. This is not Joy Reed, you know, freeballing into a commercial break. This is the Attorney General who commands the FBI. Like, you can't talk like that. That's crazy. In February 21, you, I think, were the first a report that Bank of America was sharing private customer information. with federal law enforcement agencies regarding the banking activity surrounding January 6. Well, now we find out from a whistleblower, it appears as though Bank of America volunteered this information and even went so far as providing gun purchases dating back to 1991. Bank of America, I guess they think they're too big to fail. Maybe they are.
Starting point is 01:49:40 They ignore all questions from the media, including. us. I mean, at what point, as you said when they were reading your texts, nobody's paying for any of this. At what point does the system just collapse into some sort of a fascistic gulog? Well, that's obviously their goal. I mean, I don't, you know, and I hate overstatement. I engage in it regularly because I get mad, you know, and I get a very. my skis and my wife's always telling me, just, you know, calm down, say a prayer, don't say things
Starting point is 01:50:18 you don't mean, and that's a very fair criticism. But at some point, you have to kind of make rational judgments on the basis of available evidence, and I don't see any limit to their designs. I don't, what is the limiting principle here? They don't believe in God. They think they're God. They are the final word in everything in their view. And so there's really no limit to what they can do to people who oppose them. And honestly, there has not been. I mean, I guess the limit would be killing them, but taking away a man's freedom is tantamount to killing him,
Starting point is 01:50:48 and they've done that at scale. So, look, what they're doing is, I mean, the one of the many effects, none of this happens in a vacuum, is to turn kind of responsible systems supporting people like me into jittery paranoids, right? You're going to have a lot of people buying pallets of 7.62 steel case with Krugerans. Like, I'm almost there.
Starting point is 01:51:11 Like, why wouldn't I be at a certain point? The banking system? Like Bank of America? AP Gianni's Bank from San Francisco, the town of my birth, is now turning you in for buying a gun legally? What? Like, it can really, and I feel like I'm, I've been married to the same girl for 32 years. I'm pretty stable in my personal life. I'm not, you know, subject to flights of fancy.
Starting point is 01:51:32 And even I am feeling very kind of jumpy. What about someone who isn't married and doesn't have kids? it's got nothing to lose. Like, you're creating crazy people by acting this way. That is true. And no one ever says that. I'm surprised we don't have more horrifying acts of mass violence. Like, we're creating Tim McVease.
Starting point is 01:51:51 And I say that with deep sadness, I don't want that. I have to tell you that, you know, they keep talking about conspiracy theories. The reason why there are conspiracy theories is because what they tell us continues to turn out to be untrue. And then they silence everyone from even. asking. So of course that the psychological result of that is, I got another theory that fits better. Only transparency. Only transparency heals that. Let me ask you, when you got the, when you got all the tapes, can, did Fox News, the news department, can they have access to that? Would they get access to that? Do you think, I mean, what do we do with these tapes now? Because now it's your word against...
Starting point is 01:52:43 You know, that's a good question. I can, you know, we work independently. We work for the same company you've worked here, you know, but they really are in different silos. I can say that no one from any news organization that I'm aware of, I can't speak from my producers, but as far as I know, no one has ever, no one ever asked. Can I ask right now? Can I get access to those? but as far as I'm concerned, you can have access to whatever you want. I mean, I personally think that everyone should have access to them. Just I'll put you in touch with my producer who's been dealing with the speaker's office for sure. I mean, wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:53:19 So nobody, nobody from the news department, any news department, contacted and said, hey, Tucker, what do you see in? What do you got? Not one working journalist has texted me directly and everybody. in the world, including my UPS delivery guy, has my text. Nobody doesn't have my text. I mean, I should just announce it on your show. Everybody has that. So I am the easiest person to get in touch with. I have had the same phone since 1995, the same phone number. I never change it. I respond to every text every day. So I am not hard to get in touch with at all. I'm not Colonel Kurtz up to
Starting point is 01:53:57 Mekong, okay? I'm just sitting in my backyard. And nobody has reached, and I was in mainstream journalism for 25 years, so I know everybody. Nobody has. asked me. And instead, I'm getting all these texts like, I'm Sarah Ellison from the Washington Post. Is it true that you suck? The White House is issued a statement today saying you're a white supremacist Nazi, which you care to comment. And I just said I respond to every text every day. I'd not respond to Sarah Ellison or like all, you know, Gillen beers or whatever his name is from Puck, whatever that is. Like, you know, the only text I've gotten have been after they reveal that I'm Satan and then like what's your comment can you comment on your you know moral decreptitude mr
Starting point is 01:54:41 carlinson it's amazing amazing um Tucker I know that there has to be times that you feel very alone uh you're not there are millions and people used to say this to me but I'm telling you I know because it happened to me there are millions of people that are hearing what you're saying and getting the message, and you are certainly not alone. Don't ever feel that way. Well, thank you, Glenn. I feel blessed by that. I feel that, and I feel that.
Starting point is 01:55:13 Yeah, I do feel that, and I feel people's prayers. And I do, and I feel like there's always, it's like a physics principle. You know, there's always a reaction to a force. And I do feel a lot of honesty and a lot of love, not named it me, but just in the atmosphere. Like there's something good happening even as something bad has happened. There is. I really feel that's wrong. Now, can I flip this around just a bit?
Starting point is 01:55:39 I know that if I were you, I would have thought, I mean, I got them dead to rights here. This is going to blow this whole thing up. And there's going to be a lot of people, not everybody, but there will be a lot of people who may have been on the other side and are like, wait a minute, wait a minute, because this is so critical, you cannot live in a free society where the Justice Department is corrupt, the judges are corrupt, the media is corrupt, and the politicians are corrupt. You cannot have a free society. So everyone should be concerned about this. are you surprised at all that the reaction from everyone, it seems, in power? I am surprised, but I also think this is foundational.
Starting point is 01:56:38 I mean, you know, we talk about a lot of different topics on the show, and some of them, I think, are really important and interesting, and they get no response and nobody cares. You know, I always say this to my staff. Like, we could get on the air tonight and say, you know, we really should invade Belgium because those Walloons are just, like they're loathsome people and we should just put them all in camps. And nobody would say a word.
Starting point is 01:56:59 If you say a word about Syria, holy smokes. Like they come to your house. I don't know why is Syria like so essential to the system, but Belgium, a NATO ally in the middle of Europe isn't, I don't understand it. All I know, I know their priorities by their reaction.
Starting point is 01:57:16 And January 6th, I came at it very ingenuously like, wait, this wasn't an armed white supremacist insurrection. You know, like, why are you saying that? And the second I said that out, wow, they went freaking crazy. So I'm not, look, I can only guess. There's so much I don't know. I'm like feeling the outlines of something in a dark room. But I know that if you, this is an open wound for them. And if you press it, all of a sudden you have all these Republicans attacking you. It's like, what is that? Aligning with
Starting point is 01:57:46 Chuck Schumer. Like, all of a sudden, you've got Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer saying exactly the same thing. Well, then that tells you just through inductive reason. reasoning that this is the foundation of something that they're colluding on. What is it? I don't know. I'll leave it to bigger minds to speculate, but it's demonstrably real, right? I mean, like, why would they bought, I'm a freaking talk show host on a cable channel. Like, who cares what I think? And all of a sudden, they're spending all this energy attacking me, but of course, it's not about me. It's about the story. That story is at the center of what they're doing and what they're planning, obviously. And this is why the White House, this is just breaking.
Starting point is 01:58:30 They are making it about you. In comments shared first with Politico, the White House joined Republican Senate leaders who a day earlier assailed Carlson's broadcast of selected assault footage as being filled with offensive and misleading conclusions. We agree with the chief of the Capitol Police and the wide range of bipartisan lawmakers who have condemned this false depiction of the unprecedented violent attack on our Constitution and rule of law, which cost police officers their lives. We also agree with Fox News's own attorneys and executives who have now repeatedly stressed in multiple courts of law that Tucker Carlson is just not credible.
Starting point is 01:59:20 Oh, well, it does. sound, Glenn, like everyone's against me. Um, but I don't, you know, from my perspective, it's really not about me. It's about what actually happened. And I continue to think that. I'm, I'm, I'm, I've, I've always been, not always, but as I've aged, I've been willing, and I want to be willing to admit my own flaws and my own sins, you know, my own inherent crappiness as a person. I'll admit that. I think it's important to admit that. I think it's important to admit that. I agree. But I, but in this case, it's not about me. It's about the lies that they're telling. And that's just true. And I have no, look, obviously this isn't helping me. I'm not winning
Starting point is 02:00:11 is it? Right. Why am I doing this to get richer? I mean, I know a lot of, I know all the talk show hosts. I know everybody right in our business as you do too. And a lot of them are just like, I'm going to take a pass on that and just like, get mad about. tax rates or whatever, whatever it is, whatever the story that you can safely push and other, you know, and play the partisan, the silly partisan game. But this is not about partisanship. It's not about parties. It's not about ideology even. It's about power. And, and I just feel like for the short time I'm on earth and for however long I have my current job, I should be as honest as I can possibly be and focus on the issues that actually matter. That's how I feel about it. And I
Starting point is 02:00:54 really mean that. Well, obviously I mean that. You know, how is it going to end for me? What you think I don't know? I know. So, Tucker, listen to me. Listen to me. Yeah. You are doing amazing work. As long as you continue to stay tethered in reality and with God and you speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, you are going to have. You are going to have. I think divine protection around you. And as someone who has been literally in your place, I will always have your back. Thank you, Glenn. I'm grateful for that.
Starting point is 02:01:35 And it's funny, as soon as this stuff started to happen to me, I mean, even years ago, I was like, you know what? I have a very different opinion of Glenn Beck. Like, I got. No, I'm serious. I'm serious. In a good way. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:48 Thank you. God bless. I know what you're saying, man. God bless. Thank you. You bet. Bye-bye. Tucker Carlson.
