The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. So if you didn't have to watch it, it was wildly entertaining. You didn't have to watch it. If you can just watch it in highlight clips, and that's what you pay us to do to give you the digest and the highlights of last night's debate. And oh, is it going to be fun? If it wasn't, if the destruction of our country wasn't hanging in the balance,

it would be a lot more fun, but still, still, I think, wildly entertaining in the clip form. We go to that in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. Okay, what are you doing? If you're in pain, why are you still in pain? Oh, man, I'm turning into my wife. I just don't want to hear it anymore if you're not going to try everything. So my wife, that's what my wife, that's a lot of.

what my wife finally said to me to get me to do relief factor because I was just like, okay, it's worth three weeks of just trying it. It's not going to work. Why don't you try it? It's not going to work. Well, how do you know that? You never try it. It's not going to work.

How do you know that? You know what? I'm not just going to listen to it. I'm not going to, don't talk to me about your pain unless you try. Oh, yeah. So I tried it. And my wife was not as wrong as she usually is. It's relief factor.

I've been taking it now for eight months and it totally has changed my life. Just try it. Created by doctors, 100% drug free. It's all natural. It's relief factor. Try it now for 1995. Try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work, stop taking it.

If it does, you get your life back. It's relief factor. Ease your pain and get back doing the things that you love to do. Relief factor and relief factor.com. All right. That'll be a good show today. Yeah, you had the big event last night. How you doing?

I'm feeling pretty good. Excited about talking about last night's debate. Elway, Ellingfei, Retipe, Udge, Ili Ray excited a Ute, Ote, Alte, A, Aastle, nightnays, a debate. bait day. I'm not supposed to acknowledge that, right? We're just supposed to act as if you're speaking English. Just like, yeah, I'm just reaching out to a new constituency. The people that speak Latin, pig Latin.

And it's not my first language, so I'm sorry if I butchered it. But I want you to know that I'm just like you. I'm part of your community. Yes, that and that proves it. Nothing proves it like awkwardly blurting out language like that. Right. Ooste? Right, Stu.

Oh, okay. Because I, yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Did you see it when, when, uh, was it bedo first broke out? He was the first one to come out of the game with Spanish. Yeah. And Corey Booker and Elizabeth Warren, their faces were like, oh.

Oh, but Cory Booker is the perfect example. It was such a Cory Booker moment because it was being shared all over the internet. Like look at Cory Booker. He's like, oh, rolling his eyes at Beto. But he did it too. That's why he was rolling his eyes. He was like, crap, this guy took my good idea. He was mad that later on he was going to speak in Spanish awkwardly

and is pissed off that Beto did it first. It was so bad. It was so bad. Okay, because I'm excited to get to some of the highlights. Let's start with Warren on Guns. Here's Elizabeth Warren on Guns. In this period of time that I've been running for president, I've had more than 100 town halls.

I've taken more than 2,000 unfiltered questions. Oh, that's crazy. And the single hardest question I've gotten, I got one from a little boy and I got one from a little girl. Oh, boy. These are hard. And that is to say, when you're president, how are you going to keep us safe? Oh, boy. That's our responsibility as adults.

Not as president, but as adults. Seven children will die today from gun violence. Stop. Stop. Stu. Seven children will die today from gun violence? Have you ever heard that stat? I don't know the breakdown of...

Yeah, how are we getting to seven children will die today from gun violence? Well, I mean, you know, there's... Obviously, they're going to probably count suicides in there, I'm assuming. Yes. But, I mean, you know, there's tens of, like, what is it? Roughly 30,000 people a year die. So if, from guns...

Right, so if you're counting suicides and you're counting, like, Chicago. Chicago. Yep. You know, and where are you talking about, are you saying school shootings, essentially? No, no, no. She says not in school shootings. She set out by the pool, you know, just from, just from guns.

Okay, well, wait a minute. There's a difference between somebody, some kid getting a hold of a gun that shouldn't, you know, because parents didn't lock it up or whatever. And they're, you know, in the, you know, in the playroom and there's dad's gun. They pick it up and they accidentally shoot themselves. There's a difference between that and suicide, that and, you know, gang violence. There's a huge difference. Where is the cutoff for kids?

Right. I mean, it really does depend. I mean, if you, but if there's 30,000 roughly gun deaths in the United States, if you include everything, and then seven a day for children would be about 2,500, right, for the day. So, like, I think that's, it's not out of the line of what you would think is, is the number. Of course, it does matter what you're counting. How? Yeah.

Exactly. What they're trying. Of course, the picture they're trying to paint is seven kids a day get shot as they're just sitting in school in the cafeteria because of school shootings. They're trying to. Well, she says, go ahead and play the rest. Children and teenagers. And they won't just die in mass shootings. They'll die on sidewalks.

They'll die in playgrounds. They'll die in people's backyards. Gun violence is a national health emergency in this country. Stop. Really important. A national health emergency. Why do you think they are pushing Trump on the border? Why do you think they are making it so he only can take emergency presidential powers to do it? They want him to do that so badly. Because they're going to do the same thing right here. Correct. And they're setting it up right now. This is a national health emergency. We have to do something about guns. Now, she goes on.

as only Elizabeth Warren could possibly do in smoke signals. Watch. And we need to treat it like that. We can do the things that are sensible. We can do the universal background checks. We can ban the weapons of war. But we can also double down on the research

and find out what really works, where it is that we can make the differences at the margins that will keep our children safe. We need to treat this like the virus that's killing our. children. You didn't address the virus. We have to treat this.

It needs to go and figure out a way to get the guns that are already out there. What I think we need to do is we need to treat it like a serious research problem, which we have not done. A serious. Stop, stop, stop. We have not done a series research on, on what works, what doesn't work. Oh, look at John Lott's book. There's a lot of serious research in that.

It doesn't seem like that one, though. Yeah, the things you're doing in research shows it doesn't make any difference. difference. Everything you propose makes no difference. And there's lots of serious research done on their assault weapons ban, which has no effect at all. They had an assault weapons ban. It was repealed because it didn't work. Well, expired, but yeah, it wasn't renewed because it did nothing. Correct. The much more aggressive policies in places like Australia also, lots of serious research done on those that showed that there was no impact whatsoever on homicide rates. But, you know, hey, let's, this is a very common left-wing talking point, which is, they won't even let us research

guns. You can research anything you want. But they, A, they're talking about the federal government paying for that research, which of course is a big part of it. And one of the protections, this goes back years, and Democrats were involved in this at the beginning, was we aren't going to allow money to go and do all sorts of research on gun owners because there's, you know, the concept being that what they're going to do is, is A, violate the privacy of gun owners, which, and B, try to overturn this right of theirs that is constitutionally guaranteed. So to get certain restrictions on guns, they said, well, we will promise you that we're not going to make a registry of gun owners and all these things.

Now, of course, obviously, it's been some time. People forget that. So they've completely reversed their position on it. But this was not a right-wing position. It used to be very American that you don't want. the government going in and, you know, no, a register is the first,

is the first way, the first step to gun control and gun banning. And Corey Booker called for that last night. I love here. Let's go to Booker on guns. Well, first of all, I want to say my colleague and I both have been hearing this on the campaign trail.

But what's even worse is I hear gunshots in my neighborhood. I think I'm the only one. I hope I'm the only one on this panel here that had seven people shot in their neighborhood just last week. Someone I knew, Shahad Smith was killed with an assault rifle

at the top of my block last year. All right. Stop. Does anyone think, does anyone think that Cory Booker lives in the ghetto? I do not.

Okay. What he just, let me just translate political bull crap into English because I speak political bull crap now. Not fluently.

It's not my first language, but I've learned it. Well, first language is pig Latin, right? Pig Latin. Okay. But I also speak political bull crap.

So let me translate this to English. I hope I'm the only one. I think I am because I'm the only one that lives in New Jersey that has some of the most stringent laws but even in the really nice sections of New Jersey because, you know, I'm a pretty powerful guy and I'm not going to be living in the slums.

I'm not going to be living in, you know, places, you know, like Chicago, you can live it up or you can live in places where they're shooting people. all the time, but my town and my state, and the town that I was, you know, mayor of is so horrible through and through that even the nice neighborhoods where a senator can live, it's so bad that I'm hearing gunshots in the middle of the night and seven people were shot in my neighborhood. So what I'm really trying to say is, good Lord, help us, New Jersey. is completely out of control.

Anyway, that's what he actually was saying, yes, last night. But the political speech was, oh, my gosh, guns are just, guns are out of control. I mean, I think I'm the only one, but it's coming to your neighborhood, too. Well, yes, if you live in New Jersey. It's a weird thing to brag about considering he was in control of the city through large portions of this time. He could have had an influence in theory about how the city was doing. No, well, no, you can't because they've already enacted all of the bands. New Jersey, you don't want to go to New Jersey with a gun.

Oh, believe me, I know that. I used to live a block away from it. And I was legitimately terrified of it because I lived one block from the river that separates Pennsylvania, New Jersey. I was on the Pennsylvania side. And Pennsylvania has, you know, relatively normal, I would say, gun laws, you know, not super, you know, it's not lax. but not restrictive. And so, you know, you might put, if you have a gun, you might put it in your trunk, you might have it with you.

You know, there's a lot of things you might do. You go to prison, no question. You go across that bridge, one step into New Jersey. They pull you over and you could go to prison for years. Yeah. I was terrified to take it anywhere because I was mistakenly forget it in the back, or go to the gas station that I would go to that's right across the bridge, you know, or like, because, you know, of course, gas is inexpensive in New Jersey in comparison.

So you'd cross the bridge a lot of times ago. And if you forget and you could legitimately go to prison for multiple years and it's happened to people. No, I happen to average citizens. I would fly out of Newark. I remember distinctively one time I flew out of Newark, New Jersey. And I was taking my gun because I was going out west and I was going to go do some shooting. So I bring my gun with me. And I remember having like an hour long conversation.

Okay, I'm going into New Jersey. Okay, don't have any hollow points. Make sure there's no hollow points. You know, what is the magazine supposed to be? Is it, is the magazine supposed to be in the glove box and the gun is in the trunk of the car? And then walking in with a locked case into the airport in New Jersey. And I was treated like I was a terrorist. I brought the gun up and they told me I had it in two separate.

cases. I had the ammunition in one locked case and I had the gun in one locked case. Okay. Unless the gun or the ammunition suddenly became Houdini and they were also sexually attracted to to each other. There was no way they were going to get out and mate on the plane underneath the plane. Oh my gosh. The airline told me I needed it in three pieces and three pieces of locked luggage. And so we We had to do all of that. And then the airline lost my luggage. They shipped it up to Canada. So my gun was going around a carousel up in Quebec, Canada,

and nobody approached it for a while because the entire nation of Canada surrendered to my luggage. It's crazy what's going on. But Cory Booker, he's afraid for his life. So last night, I think we were very clear. your gun rights are going to be infringed, if not taken away, if these radicals find themselves in office. And it was important to notice that all of them talked about an emergency. This is why they are not doing anything down on the border because they need Trump to declare an emergency through executive order and take over the border. Once he does that, they are all going to sit in their own.

office and laugh. They'll be outraged, but they will laugh because they know when they get into office, it's a national emergency on climate change. It is a national emergency on gun laws. It's a national emergency on speech. It will become a dictatorship. No if, sands or butts. Once you start going and legislating or not legislating, just declaring national emergencies, president has all the power he wants. And if you get somebody who wants to do that and start bypassing the system, which I believe the Democrats are now setting up for, that's a problem. And it's a problem for Republicans. It's a problem. It's a problem if Democrats do it. It's a problem.

All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. Over a thousand active agents right now, but we have a waiting list of about 5,000 that are wanting to join us. Here's the thing. We take our time vetting these agents. They all personally have to be vetted.

We want to make sure that we don't have people. Did you know I heard Pat say today? I had forgotten about this. Pat's tried to do insurance sales. I think he was a real estate agent for a while. He's, I mean, he was an Amway salesman for a while. He just was like, I got to get out of radio. Yeah, I remember this period.

Yeah. Okay. It didn't work out. did not work out well. No, none of us have actual skills. No, no skills whatsoever. I mean, I'm hoping in end days, somebody's going to need somebody to, you know, tell you the stories of, you know, the day, hey, you know, you know, Cannibal Bill over there?

Yeah. Let me tell you a story about him around the campfire so they don't eat me. We have no skills. Anyway, Pat really has no skills outside of radio when it comes to doing things and he was a real estate agent. You wouldn't want him. you wouldn't want him, okay? You could trust him.

He's a nice guy, but he's not going to sell your house, okay? We make sure that we vet every single person. They have to exemplify the truth lives here. They have to have experience. They have to be the best. This is not a sponsor, I recommend. This is my company. My team works diligently to ensure that our agents live up to their promise to me to best serve you with your biggest investment.

It's a free service. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. So you can say that's a real estate agent. I trust. Real estate agents. I trust.com. We break for 10 seconds.

All right. Let's do a quick. Let's do a quick residence update for Cory Booker. Okay. So it is part of his schick that he lives kind of in the neighborhood where he used to live. He lives in a condo now. The average house price in all of New Jersey is 300. $30,000, I believe it is.

And his in Newark has a condo at $435,000. Now that is, it's a, a lot of people call it modest. Now, of course, he's not there all that often. Obviously, he lives in Washington, D.C. When he had a choice to go to Washington, D.C., he picked a place with the average neighborhood income of $150,000. And what Forbes has deemed, quote, America's sixth, sixth hippist, hipster. neighborhood. Oh my God.

Because he's a man of the hipsters. Yes. So that is Cory Booker. So this is part of his brand that I swear I still live in Newark in a place close to where I grew up. Right. And he lives, so he lives in a condo, an expensive condo in Newark, New Jersey. So if you're living in Newark and you're in a high rise, you're not living in the

burbs. You're living in the inner city. So, yeah. No one, no one that's sane ever says, hey, you know what? Let's go to Newark. Have you thought about buying a condo in Newark? No. I don't even want to stop at the train station in Newark on the road.

You don't. I don't want to go to the airport in Newark. I mean, Newark is not a good place. And again, this guy had a lot of control over that. I think it was only the mayor. Right. For a long time. A long time.

No big deal. No big deal on that. All right. We're going to get into Medicare. Also, um, what's her name? Tulsi. Tulsi Gabbard.

She did really well, but she was one of those that I think the average Americans were like, who's, who's, who's this? Oh, yeah. I mean, no one knows who she is. I mean, unless you really follow this stuff, you're not going to know who Tulsi Gabbard is. But she, I thought did pretty well last night. Well, she did really well against the other guy who I went, who the hell is this? Oh, yeah, Tim Ryan. Oh, my gosh.

That guy should be out. Today. Yeah, he... His wife should sit him down and go, Honey. I love you. But no one else does. Nobody else does.

It's not going anywhere. Yeah. Stop. Stop. You're spending the kids' education money. And stop. I'm sure he's not spending the kids' education money. Well, who's donating to that campaign?

After that performance, I would say not many people. Not many people. We have that. Also, Castro on trans abortions. That was an interesting moment. Oh, this is so fun. We're all going to die, but we're all going to die laughing on the way. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

We've been telling you a lot lately about how Google and Facebook are trying to silence conservative voices. Did you see what happened on Reddit yesterday? Yeah, some ban with a, what was it, a Trump forum? Yeah, Trump Forum. And this, make no sense. mistake, the algorithms and everything else, this is silencing people before an election. That's what's happening. So there, you know, this is a powerful reminder that cyberspace is like, it's like

Cory Booker's neighborhood. It's a dangerous place to be. There is a company that can help you that knows the dark alleys and how to avoid them because people are trying to invade your privacy. They invade your phone, your desktop, your tablet. They steal your private information. They steal your identity. They also just track you online.

You need a VPN. It stops most of this. VPN. Go to Norton SecureVPN. That's a virtual private network. Nobody's following you. Nobody's tracking you. Just head to Norton.com slash VPN protection starts at 333 a month.

Norton.com slash VPN. BlazTV.com slash Glenn is the place to go. Get all that you need from conservative content and all the analysis from last night's debate. Use the promo code, Glenn. All righty. Hello, Pat Gray. Hello, Glenn Beck. My thoughts and my prayers are going to be with you tomorrow.

Thank you. Pat is going under the knife. I'm a little offended by that. Is that all yet? That's all I got. Thoughts and prayers. I'm going to think about you and I'm like, hey, Lord, help him out, would you? But that's all I really am going to do.

Can I clear one thing up? I've never sold real estate. Okay. Only realtors are members of the National Association of Realty. Okay. So you've never been a real estate. But you have been an Amway salesman. Yes, you were.

No, I was not. I've been an Aplac salesman before the duck when nobody knew what the hell Afflack was. And so you can imagine. So you were selling insurance? So I was selling insurance. No, you went through a period. No, I sold insurance.

Do not test me on this. Don't test you. It's my life. You also, you tried to sell me. No, never. Not once. Did I ever try to sell you a product? No. This only happened for a couple of months while I was out of work and I thought, okay, radio's not working. So I went, this is 25 years ago. I went into Affleck sales for a couple of months and tried to educate people on what Affleck is because they don't have any idea. Oh, so it's my health insurance. No, it's a supplemental thing to your health insurance so that you get a chance. Sheck wins. I don't know. I don't understand. So what you're saying... So you're really good at Sam.

I'm telling it. So what you were saying... What you were saying here is this economy does not work for... It didn't work for you. No, it did not. It only works for the bourgeoisie. You know that. I found that out on the Karl Marx Memorial Stage last night. It was crazy.

Every word out of their mouth was a lie or Marxist theory. Everything. And they might as well be using the word bourgeoisie. Because that's what they continually talk about in this class warfare. and the proletariat is being left behind. Have you ever seen anything like this? No, I've never seen anything like this.

All of them. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I got to go to this. Here's Castro on trans abortion. I was sorry for the secretary Castro, this one that's for you, all of you on stage support a woman's right to an abortion. You all support some version of a government health care option. Would your plan cover abortion, Mr. Secretary?

Yes, it would. I don't believe only. and reproductive freedom, I believe in reproductive justice. Oh! Nice catchphrase. What that means is that just because a woman, or let's also not forget,

someone in the trans community, a trans female. Oh, my God. Right? His core doesn't mean they shouldn't have... Okay. Exercise. He said trans female, but I think he means trans man, right?

A person who's transitioning to a female. Being a man into a female. Into a female. So here's a thing. Here's a thing. Wait. I am so. So started as a female.

No. No. Started as a man. Transitioned to a female. So remember, men can be the other way around. No. No, it's not.

Men can have babies. But I think he's talking about a person, a woman, starting out as a woman, who maybe is transitioning to a man but gets pregnant. And now she's a man, but she can have. Whoa, whoa.

Why? hatred. I'm sorry, but he gets pregnant. Why the hatred from this guy? What about men? Because I am so tempted to do that. If I were 20, I would do this just to stir it up. I would say, I want to have a baby.

And then I would have them implant a baby because men can have babies too now. So I implant a baby and then demand a government paid for abortion. You laugh. You know, I think if you happen to have a membership to Blaze TV, BlaseTV.com slash Glenn, promo code Glenn, you can get over to Stephen Crowder's program. And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Stephen dressed up as a woman, said he was a trans person transitioning,

acquired urine from Craigslist from a pregnant woman. So went to a Planned Parenthood, said they were pregnant and asked for an abortion. I swear he did this bit. Does anyone? He did. He did. He actually did this.

He did. And Planned Parenthood was going along with it, even though obviously Stephen looks nothing like a woman. Right. But even though they knew he was a man and if your urine comes back, I mean, he took the thing and he poured it into, you know, their testing. They did the testing. Okay. And he came back pregnant. Came back pregnant.

But for a man, that is a sign of prostate cancer. And they wouldn't even say, hey, you should have. your prostate checked. Unreal. Okay, because they had to accept blindly that he was a woman. Wow. Even though it's Stephen Crowder in a dress. It's crazy.

Okay. It was so clear. It was a man. And any doctor knows that's a sign you can't be pregnant. You can't be pregnant. As a man, you cannot be pregnant. So if your pee shows that you're pregnant, that is a clear sign. You have prostate cancer.

And they did nothing. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. At one point in the debate last night, Corey Booker said, you know, a huge problem we have in this country is we will just... We have it, right? Oh, we do?

I believe we have it about helping African American, trans Americans. Let's see if this is the clip. Here it is. Listen to this. Look, civil rights is someplace to begin. But in the African American civil rights community, another place to focus on was to stop the lynching of African Americans.

We do not talk enough about trans... Americans, especially African-American trans-Americans. And they're in total of murder right now. We don't talk enough about how many children. About 30% of LGBT kids who do not go to school because of fear.

It's not enough just to be on the Equality Act. I'm an original co-sponsor. We need to have a president that will fight to protect LGBTQ Americans every single day. What about two-spirited? Yeah, they're not going nearly enough down the alphabet to get to the LGBTQ.

two plus IA. They've left out the questioning. They've left out the intersex. They left out the asexual. They've left out the two spirit and the plus people. I'm pissed. Why can't they be inclusive?

If a society was designed from scratch, right? Yeah. With their sole goal to talk about transgendered people, could we talk about it more? I mean, we spend like 80% of our time, I think, talking about transgender people, where they go to the bathroom. No, no, no, no.

How they're going to get their surgeries. No. How beautiful every single one of them are. There's not one, the ugly transgender person. How you are bigoted if you won't date a trans. I mean, we are, this is, now, transgender population estimated to be at 0.6% of America. What the African American transgender population, I guess, what, no, roughly a tenth of that. How dare you?

How dare you? Get it right. African American, trans American person. Okay. So they're, they're transgender. transitioning between here in Mexico? What do you mean trans American? That's what they were called by Cory Booker.

African American, trans American. Okay. So that person is what, maybe 0.06% of the population. I mean, we talk about it all the time. Every series I turn on has a trans character in it now. I mean, look, transgender people deserve all the rights that everyone else gets. And by the way, that's it. They don't deserve extra ones, but they deserve the exact amount of rights that everyone else has.

But could we possibly talk about it more? It's like every one of these debates, we need to have a conversation about this. All we're doing is having conversations about us. It's all we do all day. It's like they're 89% of the population, not 0.6. And if you are hetero, you don't even have a place at the table. No. You have no place at the table.

And you do not need to talk about our heterosect. Please, we don't need any more talk about who we're having sex with. I swear, or what gender we are. We have way too much gender and sex talk. Do we not? I mean, it's, it is perfectly aligned with the Democratic Party in that, like, everything is identity politics. So, of course, they want to talk about that more. That's all they care about is what group you're in.

That's it. You looked at it. Last night, I think Castro did well, largely because everyone was afraid of saying anything bad about him because he's Hispanic. Every single time immigration came up, all the other came, I agree with Julio Castro over there. See, because his last name's Castro, I agree with him. That makes me good.

And he's sitting there like, I'm at 0%. Why are they treating me like I'm leading? They were all trying to kiss his ass. He's at 0%. But they're so focused on the identity stuff that they can't help themselves. I have to play Beto's answer on 70% income tax. Are you for 70% income? Are you for the federal government just leaving people with 30% of what they work for?

Here's his answer. This economy has got to work for everyone. And right now we know that it isn't. And it's going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does. Necessitamos include in the exit of this economy. But if we want to do that, we need to include every person in our democracy. Cada

every votante, we need the representation and every voice we need to listen. Right now we have a system that favors those who can pay for access and outcomes. That's how you explain an economy

that is rigged to corporations and to the very wealthiest. A $2 trillion tax cut that favored corporations while they were sitting on record piles of cash and the very wealthiest in this country at a time of historic wealth inequality. A new democracy

that has revived because we've returned power to the people. No PACs, no gerrymandering, automatic and same-day voter registration to bring in more voters and a new Voting Rights Act to get rid of the barriers and are in place now. That's how we each have a voice in our democracy and make this economy work for everyone.

That's time, sir. I'll give you 10 seconds to answer if you want to answer the direct questions. Would you support a 70% individual marginal tax rate? Yes, no, or pass? I would support a tax rate. and a tax code that is fair to everyone. Tax capital at the same rate that you tax ordinary income,

take that corporate tax rate up to 28%. You would generate the revenues you need to pay for the program. He won't answer the main question. He won't say yes or no to the 70% tax. This party is now embarrassed to say no, not 70%. That's amazing. They can't. And they won't.

They just won't say it. Instead, he wants to raise the capital gains to what, the upper tax bracket, which is 40%. Wasn't it in Beto that said that he will not take a vice presidential position if the president on the ticket is a male? Because it's time we have a vice president that's female. What about a trans president? Well, that's what I was thinking. But I just, Beto, I just want you to know, after your performance last night,

nobody wants you. You're not going to be vice president of the local beekeepers. club. He doesn't have to worry about it. No, it's, uh, no, America finally sees you for exactly what you are. A zero. Thanks, Pat. Good luck with the, uh, surgery.

We will pay for you tomorrow. I will tell you, though, our health care system is so bad. Oh, it's broken. You're going to be piled in the street. Right. I know. It's weird because I, didn't we get Obamacare? I thought that was supposed to cure all of this.

Yeah, we did. All they did was complain about how bad the health care system was. It's incredible. These people just passed a giant program that told, they said it was going to fix all of this. And here they are two or three years later. Oh, yeah, wow, this is a disaster. We need a whole new program. Incredible.

Well, I do believe there were one, two, three, three people that were saying they're only going to come back and say this is failed. And that's why we need a single payer system. Yeah. And you know, how many fact checks did we need to endure as conservatives when we said it was all of a single payer? They always said it was false. They always said it was false. It doesn't. It's not a single payer.

Obama doesn't believe in that. He said it. Yeah, he said it. He also said the opposite. And all of the people who designed this specifically tell us it's going to be single payer eventually. And here we are like one election later. And every candidate up there is like, yeah, of course, single payer, obviously. It's incredible.

It's nuts. It's not. Incredible. Seriously, where are you going to move? I was talking to a guy last night and he said, I'm, I think I'm going to move to Switzerland. He said I was talking to some Swiss, you know, people family. And I said, Swiss family Robinson? And he didn't laugh.

And I said, yeah, we were, you know, we went with a Swiss family to Antarctica for, for a month. And I'm like, you're going to build a house in Antarctica? He's like, no, Switzerland. I'm like, okay, I can't follow your travels. Okay. But as I said to him, where are you going to go? Maybe Antarctica would be safe. Switzerland is, Switzerland isn't necessarily safe.

insanity. Look what's happening in Europe. If we continue down this road, we are looking at there's no America left. There's no engine left. All right. Our sponsor, this half hour is X-Chair. It was great to broadcast up from the ranch a couple of weeks ago, but I don't have an X-chair there. And that's the one thing that I missed. I didn't miss Stu.

I'm Hillary, and now here's Glennon's Steve with the next hour of our show. Great, thanks. Let me tell you about American finance. American financing is absolutely fantastic. I just spent about two hours with people of American financing yesterday. And we were talking about how, you know, the wolves are out right now, the same practices that everybody was doing with the banking system happening again. Oh, wow, the interest rates are really low. And, you know, you could go with no money down, et cetera, et cetera.

And I talked to them about real financial security. And they said, look, we work for the client. And they may come in and say, hey, we're going to, we really want to do this. no money down and we want a balloon payment or whatever it is. And they said, we turn people down. We'll say, if you want to do that, here's where you can go and do that, but we don't want to unwrite that because we think it's going to cause you trouble. That's why I got into business with American financing in the first place.

These are the people that I trust. They're salary-based mortgage consultants. They have your financial security at, you know, at the top of their mind when they work with you. Please go to Americanfinancing.comnet. If you want to refi, if you want to consolidate, or if you want to buy your next home, American financing, 800906 2440 or Americanfinancing.net. So there was a lot of answers that climate change was our biggest threat last night. But only one person said that Russia was our biggest threat. And it is, it's China or Russia.

well, maybe Iran. I don't know. They're all such big threats in different ways. We should talk to an expert. We have that expert with us. And her credentials with the CIA are amazing. If you've ever watched Mission Impossible, that kind of, in a roundabout way,

a lot of that involved her. All the mask making and everything else, that's this person's story. And you actually know her story from movies. But we're going to talk to her about her new book and also the threat posed overseas. And are we prepared for it in one minute? This is the Glenback program. So if you're in constant pain, I know what it is like. Americans, we've got about 50 million people that are missing work due to pain.

50 million. Now, Americans spend about $2,000 a year to combat their pain, and 66% take whatever it is they're taking in. They just expect it to be this way for the rest of their life. They just are going to be in constant pain. That's no way to live your life. I started taking Relief Factor about 18 months ago, and I believe in it. Now, there's a lot of people that will go and they do commercials for Relief Factor, and that's good. But they didn't need it or they're not on it.

I'm on it. and I needed it and I took it reluctantly because I didn't think it would work. And it does. Relief factor. I feel the best I've felt in five years. 100% drug free created by doctors. There's a three-week quick starts. 1995.

That way, if it doesn't work in three weeks, it's not going to. So take it for three weeks as directed. You take it 70% of the people who order that, order more month after month after month. I do. 18 months. I'm still taking it three times a day. Join me and get your life back with Relief Factor.com. Relieffactor.com Tell them all I want is to wake up. Tell them all I want is to feel.

I want to bring on our guest, John A Mendez. She is the author of The Moscow Rules. She is the former chief of disguise at the CIA. And we'll get into some of her other things and how you know her in just a second. First of all, John, welcome to the program. How are you? Here. So you were the, you were the former chief of disguise, which the CIA, if I understand this right, didn't have until they started watching the old Mission Impossible series. And they were like, hey, John, could we do that?

Guy's capability, widely used. So how come we weren't using, when you think of spies, you do now think of Mission Impossible, which, by the way, we don't have the math. like that, right? We do have masks. We have, we watch Mission Impossible out of the corner of our eyes. Well, they show in Mission Impost. It's a lot of CGI.

It's a lot of, in seconds and take them. We developed that, and we use those extensively. And the guy who first did the work on Planet of the Apes, is he the guy who helped develop the masks with you? That's where it began with us. His name was John Chambers. He did Planet of the Apes. We didn't want to turn people into apes, but we were really interested in his technology and his materials.

That was really the beginning of our mask program. We went way past what they do in movies. They have lights, all kinds of opportunities. One shot. And it had to be difficult because without lights and masks and heavy makeup and everything else, that sometimes, you know, when you see people in heavy makeup, et cetera, It's very obvious, and it would be really difficult to make it look real and not like a rubber mask. Well, the parameters of our mask.

With the hair and everything. So with the hair and everything, you would just pull it over your head like a stocking cap? Pull it on, and you would pull it off. I stood in front of George. He said, well, Britschow across there, John, the news. Oh, my gosh. you and your husband also are the author of Argo, which was made into a movie, you went in, or your husband did. You did not go in, did you?

I did not. I watched from the sidelines, holding my breath. I bet. Tell me a little bit. Tell me about that in case anybody doesn't know about Argo and what you and your husband were involved in. Well, Tony Mendes was Canadians, but someone had to, and Tony came up with an idea of disguised. them as a Hollywood location scouting party. This was plausible.

So Tony went in, gave them all their new bio. You have two days. Luciary guards with their trigger finger. And everybody went home safe and happy. And we still... It's amazing. That's amazing. And it's amazing to me.

You were in Moscow, the Moscow rules, which... It means what exactly, the Moscow rules? Well, I gave a book talk last night in Seattle, and the chief of station Moscow, the CIA chief of station Moscow, who is in the book, was at the talk last night. He said that one rule that you put in, float like a butterfly, or Muhammad Ali, they are rules of comportment. They are smothered with communicate with the Russians who are providing us with intelligence. What are you going to do? These were the rules that allowed you to keep your agents. safe, most importantly, to keep you or found out, you would simply be thrown out of the country

and embarrassed with Lvianca, a huge Aldrich Ames case, a dozen Russia. So, do we have Moscow rules now? I mean, if I understand this right, it's rules that we all kind of play by in some regard, where we don't have those rules anymore, or is that just basic spy etiquette and Moscow rules are different. And changing as smother you was an incident at the very beginning of the book that happened in 2016. Diplomat could go back. They broke his clavicle.

This man was really wounded. When Tony Mendes, my husband, so we don't know what he did. So we're talking to John O'Mendez. She was former chief of disguised at CIA. Her husband was the lead character, if you will, I think played by Ben Affleck in Argo. She was a CIA officer working on Moscow and other areas. Looking at this, I'm sure you and your husband, you know, have so much experience to be

able to look at and say, here's what everybody's missing. What is the, what poses the biggest threat to us right now, do you think? Is it technology? Is it China, Iran? Russia, global warming. What do you see? Is there a box for all of the above? Putin, Putin said.

A much more intricate place than it used to be. Putin, go ahead. I'm sorry. Putin? What did you? I was going to say Putin says that we're already in World War III. The West just doesn't recognize it. I think that we are still in the cold, the title of this book.

Yeah, I think this. The same people just, they just changed uniforms. You and I are on the same page on that. Yeah. I mean, that dawned on me about, I don't know, 20 years ago when we thought we won. And then I went, wait a minute, but where did all the old communists go? They just took off their uniform and started using different titles and put on a suit and they're still running it. I'm looking at a paragraph at the very end of our book, Contact Sport.

and taken the game into new territory. These Russian intelligence officers have tools that we could not have imagined. Are we prepared for what we're facing? I'm pretty confident. We came out of the technical side. The DDS and T, Director of Science and Technology at CIN gadgets, or in that area, I feel good that we can counter any threat that they offer, and we can probably do some interesting counter-attacking on our own.

Johnna Mendes, thank you so much. She's the author of The Moscow Rules. She was former chief of disguise at CIA, as she just said, her husband, Tony, was really kind of Q from the James Bond series. The new book written by both of them, The Moscow Rules, worth the read. Thank you so much, John. Thank you. You bet. All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about X-Chair.

That's the upgrade. $100 off right now, X-chairbeck.com. We break for 10 seconds. In the first hour, we really went over the debate. We're going to get back into it. I think Beto is done. I think Tulsi Talcy Gabbard had I think a good night

last night Warren was okay Cory Booker was awful I know people are saying that he did well but I don't think he did well at all I was with you on that I did grades and I gave Booker a C minus but I would say that

the over the punditry overall thought he did okay thought he did well was one of the winners of the night he's just such a fake to me. I just can't take it. But I think, yeah, you're right. I agree with you on Beto. Castro, I think, had a good night, too, in that he, you know. Well, he became somebody that you were like, oh, he's running. Yeah. And that's what he needed to do. That's what that first debate is

exactly. Same thing with Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard, too. Like, people notice that she's the round. You know, Ryan the opposite, right? Like, people didn't know. He tried to have a big moment against Gabbard and got destroyed in it. Destroyed. Now, I think he's much more, you know, correct on policy there, but of course, that's a bad thing for a Democrat and a Democrat primary. You don't want to agree with us. Yeah, no, there were a few Democrats there that you would typically call like Blue Dog Democrats that, you know, stuck up for the free market system. Delaney was pretty good

on that. A lot of people pointed that out. But again, like, if you're, that's not necessarily a good thing for your future prospects in the Democratic primary. Nope. So that was there. And I think, yeah, the other guy, de Blasio, I think made himself known that he was, he did what he had to do too, which was make noise, make people under understand that he's actually running. And by the way, he, he could tell his strategy, he will not let anyone to his left. When he gets next to Bernie Sanders, and Bernie Sanders says, I want to spend $3 trillion,

he's going to say, I want to spend $6 trillion. That is what he is just, he has no conscience as a human being, but also as a socialist. So that is going to be intriguing. And tonight, round two, we, we move up to round two. And tonight should be very interesting to see how Joe Biden handles all of this, because it was a Marks off last night. It was who could be more like Carl Marx, with an exception of a very few number of people, maybe three of them. It was quite intense. Okay, today also is an important day for the Supreme Court. Yep. We have two rulings out right now. Yeah, they're in the middle of

announcing them as we speak. There's five rulings total coming out today, four of them because two of them are a group together. The two big ones are about the census and about partisan gerrymandering. and then there's two others that are interesting, but not necessarily been leading the headlines. We're going to have Josh Hammer on here in a second. The census one is not out yet. The partisan gerrymandering one just came out. And it looks like it's going to be good for Republicans.

Yeah, I mean, really the question here, of course, is about whether it's good for the Constitution. Right. It's, yeah, if you're playing politics right now, the court, as I see this, is saying, the federal court has no place to tell what states, what they have to do. That all has to be decided by the states, which I think is good for the Constitution. I think it's the right thing.

And as Roberts points out in the ruling, like, we're not saying this is a good idea. This gerrymandering stuff is not a good idea. However, Congress and states have the opportunity to draft laws that will correct it. It's not for us. It's basically an idea of saying, like, look, we're not going to be an activist court on this. So I think that's a, I think that's the appropriate. ruling, Democrats aren't going to like it because right at the second, it's benefiting Republicans. But that will change.

Yeah. It can change it any time. And Republicans are going to not like it in the future. Right. So, you know, but at least the power has gone back to the state, which is important. You're listening to Glenn Beck. So there's some amazing experiences that we want to give you. I mean, there's, you can go out by stuff or you can go and.

Josh Hammer, it works for the Daily Wire, also an expert on what goes on of the Supreme Court. He's going to join us here in a second to break down everything you need to know about today's rulings. Welcome to the program. Today's a big day. We're going to give you an update coming up on the commentary on last night's debate and prepare you for tonight.

If you missed this, we did a full hour, the first hour, And you can find it in wherever you find your podcast. Just look for the Glenn Beck program podcast. And you'll be able to get our coverage on that. I personally, I thought it was fun. You know, if it wasn't for the destruction of our country, you know, we could all enjoy it and have a good laugh. It was, it was Carl Marx at his best. It was the Marx brothers, but just not Groucho or Harpo or Geppetto.

I can't remember the other one. But it was definitely Geppetto for sure. It is, I think. But it was definitely the Marx Brothers. And we'll talk about that coming up in just a second. The Supreme Court has ruled on a few cases. And some of them big. We have Josh Hammer.

He is editor at large of the Daily Wire and watching these and has a quick understanding of what has come out. They just came out a few minutes ago. they have also reached the decision on the census question. We're waiting for that to come out. So, Josh, welcome to the program. It's always great to be with you, Glenn. Thanks for having me. Yeah, you bet.

So tell me what did we find out today? Okay, so we've got two opinions come out so far. We're waiting on the big one, as you just said. We're still waiting, I guess, hopefully any second now, any minute now, perhaps to see that big census case. Actually, you know what, as I am live on the air with you, I see Edwiel and actually tweeting it. Looks like the secretary did not violate the enumerations clause or the Census Act and decide to reinstate that question. Okay, so it looks like that case is going to come out in the Trump administration's

favor based on the absolute latest I'm seeing on Twitter. So that's a huge win for the Trump administration, Glenn. This is this is a big win. In my opinion, it's a very, very legally straightforward case. This was a practice that was on the census, they obviously comes out every 10 years for over a century, it was my understanding, going back to at least the middle of the 19th century, perhaps even longer than that. There was a very, very lengthy history that are not strictly necessary to purely apportioning congressional districts on the census. This goes back a very long time.

It was on the long-form version of census up until 2010 when the Obama administration. This is very legally straightforward in my mind. This is a big winner for the Trump administration. And what does it, what, wait, wait, what does it? it mean to to the states and to the left what does the reinstatement of of this question what does it mean why is it important right so the actual narrow legal reason why it's important is actually not super obvious it's actually very important for litigation under section two of the 1965 voting rights Act. A lot of the cause of action that fall under that particular statutory provision require

very accurate data as to the citizens, not just a total person population, but the actual citizens in order to bring a viable claim for voting disenfranchisement under that particular statutory provision. But the broader kind of macro picture here, Glenn, it's why it's important is it's important just for the federal government to have a sense, not just, as to the total number of persons, including aliens, but as a citizen. I mean, think about the Constitution, Glenn. Think about the preamble. Think about basic structural principles.

We the people, we the people who form this union, we the people, you know, in the framers conception of that, are thinking of citizens. Right. And it's kind of just, it kind of is a more symbolic ability of this citizenry taking back their country and kind of gain. back to the entire notion that the citizens create the government, not the other way around. Okay.

So it's very symbolic hefty here. And the real reason why the left is going to go ballistic over this is? The real reason that the left is going ballistic is that they think it is going to suppress aliens, both legal and illegal aliens, from responding to the census. So they think that it will suppress response in such a way, not only might be from their perspective, xenophobic, but also might actually potentially politically benefit more red states than blue states for purposes of the 2020 census. It seems to me pretty unfounded, to be honest with you. There are plenty of red states like our state of Texas client that have a large,

both legal, yeah, very large legal and illegal alien population. It's not just California and New York here. Okay, so let's go to gerrymandering, because that was the other one that came out. So that was the other kind of big case that came out this morning. Haven't had time to do more than a very quick scheme in the opinion, but it looks, you know, this is a traditional five-four split. It comes out along the line that you would expect. Chief Justice Roberts write the opinion for the court. Justice Kagan filed a dissent for the liberal bloc.

They're basically saying that this is not a justiciable case. And this to me is very clearly correct. Gerrymandering as a practice goes back literally to the beginning of the Republic. The very term gerrymandering refers to founding father Elbridge Jerry. And another word, Glenn, for gerrymandering is politics. The Constitution clearly grants the state legislature the ability to draw congressional maps. So if you want to change congressional delegation in your state, the way to do that and the way that you've always had to do that, going back to the beginning of the Republic, is to win elections at the ballot box. and under the Constitution, under Article 3, which is out, which is the judiciary, you have to have standing.

In order for you have standing, you have to have a viable, what Article 3 refers to as a case or controversy. And the Supreme Court over for cases for centuries, the seminal case was a 1992 case called Wuhan. There's a Justice Scalia opinion, if I recall. He kind of broke that down and showed exactly what you need for there to be standing. There has to be an injury in fact, direct causation, and the court has to be able to redress it in a suitable fashion in accordance with traditional tools of equitable remedies. The courts have had going back to English common law. And this clearly does not meet that threshold. I mean, we're talking here about courts or criminal law or a direct injury.

But a body of part of the other party gerrymandered them out of district. controversy requirement of which the Constitution speaks. So this seems to me very, very clearly correct holding. And I'm excited to dig a little deeper in two opinions. So this is one that I hate agreeing with because I hate gerrymandering. And even Justice Thomas comes out and says that in the opinion that Roberts. Or Roberts. This is a really bad thing.

I don't agree with gerrymandering. It's a toxic thing. but it's, it's this, the power is in the state. It's not at the federal bench. And so as a, as a libertarian, I lean towards, yes, more power to the local than the state and the least amount of power going to the, to the federal government. So I agree with it. It's just that I disagree with gerrymandering. And the Republicans are going to celebrate now, but there will come a time when they don't have control of the states and those things will be gerrymandered back.

and they won't be happy. Yeah, no, I think that's, I think that's right, right? I mean, the two causes of action that kind of led to this case, though, one was out in North Carolina where it was Democrats complaining, and then one was out in Maryland, where I believe it was the Republicans complaining. So it's actually both parties who are having their complaints kind of dismissed here about the court. I think you're right, Glenn. I mean, from like a partisan perspective, if we're trying to, like, put on

you know, we're trying to channel what the Republican National Committee might be thinking. It would be short-side to think of this as a victory. But from the perspective of someone trying to get the original public meaning of the Constitution right, I think it's a clear victory. So, Josh, I'm looking, we're talking to Josh Hammer, of Daily Wire. I'm looking at this ruling on the census. And it's seemingly incredibly complicated and way above my intellect. You could, obviously, when you read this thing in full, it happened breaking here as we're on the air. but it does seem that it says it's it's affirmed in part reversed in part and remanded and we're seeing

the i mean the breakdown of it there's several parts i mean it's you know roberts uh the unanimous court on parts one and two uh opinion in the court with respect to parts three four b and four c which thomas lito gorsuch and cabinacoburnow joined with respect to four a thomas ginsberg brier so to my rakein and cabinac it like it is like all over the board on all different parts and the summary i'm starting to see here is that they will not allow the census question to be on the 20, on the citizenship question to be on the 2020 census, though it almost seems like they're going into the motivations as to why it was placed there in the first place.

I, you know, this is a, I mean, I feel like I'm in the middle of, you know, like a really bad episode of Law & Order in which I really don't explain things well. So, Josh, I tell you what, instead of wasting time with conjecture, Can we just cut you loose here and then have you read this and come back and tell us what you really think it means? Sure, absolutely. I'm happy to do that. All right. So we'll cut you loose now.

You go and study that. When you're ready, you just call us back and we'll get into the census because right now, Supreme Court blocks citizenship question on 2020 census. But it is now changed. That's not what the headline said just a few minutes ago. Yeah. So the ruling, it comes out. Because it says there's a unanimous part of this. But it seems like Roberts is just really pissed at the motivation behind it because there

were some, you know, that they did this with politics in mind. I don't know how that affects the Constitution exactly, as we, as he just, Josh just pointed out. You know, there's a lot of politics involved in our system. Right. But we'll, intent usually doesn't, isn't, I mean. Yeah, right. It's a weird one. So let's go.

We'll get Josh back on here and we'll kind of follow this as we go to break. and give you the breakdown. But as of right now, it appears that the census question will be blocked, or excuse me, the citizenship question will be blocked on the 2020 census. So I have to tell you, I had a conversation with a guy who studies the economy for a living. And we were talking about inflation and why we don't have inflation. And I contend we do have inflation. It's in the stock market.

That's the people who had the money, who could get these low interest rates. loans were the companies and they could repatriate their money. They could go and get low interest loans and or zero interest loans and they could go buy back a lot of their stock. Other people who had a lot of money could take their money and put it into the stock market and it was was going up and everybody's jumping on this bandwagon and I don't think any of it is real. He disagreed and I want to get into that with you.

later, but I will tell you this. If you watch the debate last night, the free market system is over if these people get into office. It is. They're stating it. That's not hyperbole. Take them at their word. They're saying that. So what does that mean?

Well, that means real trouble on the horizon. I want you to call Gold Line and find out of gold or silver is right for you. Gold is going up. Gold or silver now with a new, uh, IRA options and the secured storage facility and their portal for online trading, your portfolio can change dramatically, easily with Goldline at Goldline.com. I've been a customer of Goldlines for, gosh, I think almost 15 years. They've been a client of mine for, I think, 10 years.

Goldline.com. Call Goldline at 1866 Goldline, 1866 Goldline, or goldline. We have our 12 score and three years ago pop-up museum. This is very different than anything that we have ever done before. We want you to learn from history. That's the reason why we keep history is to be able to learn from it. Correct the mistakes of the past, correct the errors through original documentation of modern day historians, but then use that as a map to see what's happening today and where we should go.

This is a very powerful presentation. I've been very, very nervous about it until last night. We had about 250 leaders of the community, and believe me, not all of them agree with me. And we were correcting history and showing the truth. For instance, there's a section on slavery in America that shows the census of the Native American reservations, wherein I think it is 1880, it might be 1870, one out of every resident on reservation land was a slave owned by a Native American.

One out of every eight, that's pretty stunning. That's way higher, way higher than it was in non-reservation land here in America. And the 13th Amendment did not apply. to Native Americans, and they stopped it later than we did. We show the pictures of the white slaves, and these are, you know, it's, it wasn't the bulk, but we also show the actual numbers of the slave trade. But we do these things to show you the patterns, to be able to correct the history and show you the patterns of history. And when you come to the clan section and the clan, the uniforms and all,

of their tactics and the lynchings and everything else that is pretty dramatically staged, right behind that is the ISIS members. And it is actual uniforms taken from dead ISIS members and their masks that they always wear when they're beheading people and the orange jumpsuits from a couple of slaves that were rescued by the Nazarene Fund. and when you see the, when you look at the past and then today, you cannot help but realize we're repeating the same mistakes and nobody's paying attention. And I urge you when you go to church or if you're in a church group and you're anywhere near

this, bring your churches. Because it is the churches that stopped slavery last time. And these are Christians all around the world that are being horribly persecuted. and it's our responsibility. If you want to be a part of the people that will be remembered in history as really woke, make sure you come and bring your family to 12 score and three years ago.

You can get your tickets now. It opens this weekend, runs through next weekend. Mercury1.org. That's Mercury1.org. Tim Poole is joining us next. I'm Hillary. That's your 4-minute buzz. And now here's Glenn and Stu at the last hour of the show. Very excited, by the way, to be cruising.

then pay for it for the month, you know, every month until you get there. You have a year to do it. We're going next spring. It's all inclusive, all the airfare, all the tips, all the food, all the drinks, everything. You don't need to bring a dollar with you.

So come, come sail away with us and learn the history of these lands. Learn our true history with the experts, including Bill O'Reilly, Rabbi Lappin, David Barton, myself. It is really going to be remarkable. And walk where Jesus walked. Walk where Leonardo da Vinci walked. Join us.com.com. That's come sailaway.com. Go there now, book and get the early bird special still.

Paul is coming up on the program. It's going to be really cool. Right around the corner. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. We're going to continue our coverage of the debate last night and prepare you for tonight's debate. Also, we're going to go over the Supreme Court rulings coming up in the next half hour. But I stand by that what Project Veritas uncovered and what's happening with Google and YouTube and Facebook, Instagram. What's happening here is the biggest story of the year. And I think it might be one of the biggest stories of my lifetime because of the consequences. No one is truly tying all of this

together and looking at how we are starting to run up against a big brother that will not only control what you see, but control how you feel and how you navigate, where you go, what you buy, everything, in many cases, without you even knowing it. And we're here now. It may be too late to turn it around, but what are the ramifications even for free elections and free thought and free speech? We have Tim Poole, an award-winning American Journal. political commentator and extraordinarily independent.

He's been on the receiving end of some of this and he's a guy who truly understands it. See if he can explain the real ramifications of what happened with Project Veritas this week and now with The Donald on Reddit. We do that

in one minute. This is the Glimbeck program. All right, LifeLock. If you have ever used banking, you know, digital payment service to transfer money over. Cyber thieves have now found a way to steal from bank accounts by using that service. Scammers are using a combination of spoof phone calls that make look like it's, you know, coming from your bank, the hack text messages that they will send you,

they will break into your bank account, steal your money. This isn't just happening with banks. Stu ran into this with somebody calling from AppleCare. and it was the exact right number. On the Apple iPhone, it said Apple, the phone call was coming from Apple. Yeah, and the number actually checked out as Apple's actual number. I mean, these things are getting more and more advanced. Yeah.

LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats like your Social Security number on sale about the dark web. If they detect your information, they're going to send you an alert. And if there is a problem, a U.S.-based restoration specialist is going to work to fix it. Nobody can prevent all identity theft to monitor all transactions at all businesses. and if you join now, you're going to get 10% off your first year by using promo code back.

Tim Poole, been a fan of yours for a while. You are fair, outspoken, unafraid, and you know what you're talking about. More than I think almost anybody else in the media when it comes to what is really happening when it comes to freedom of speech and censorship at Google and Twitter and Facebook. Welcome to the program. So do you agree that what we're facing now, what's coming out, and most people in the media are ignoring with Project Veritas and everything else, that this is a, the beginning

of an understanding of an all-encompassing control on everyone's life and mind. Yeah, absolutely. And I got to say, it's astounding that, you know, I was a lifelong liberal and now having conversations about massive, powerful corporations, you know, infringing on our lives and our rights with conservatives. And, you know, throughout my life, all the liberals who were the ones challenging the corporations, even in the debate last night, bring up all these corporations. where was the conversation about how Google and Facebook are controlling what we are seeing and hearing.

It's not coming from the left. And you look at the mainstream press. I ain't using that term, but there's a website called AllSides that tracks the biases of various sites. And they straight up said the Veritas story has been largely ignored by left-wing media. That's crazy to me. Well, it's crazy also because, you know, where's the ACLU? Where are people that are they say therefore freedom of speech? I disagree.

I mean, I vehemently disagree with Alex Jones. I bet a target of his. I have no, there's no love between us at all. But I will stand for his right to be heard. We can't, we can't do this.

I don't want any Marxist silenced. I don't want any crazy person silenced. This, what's happening, these organizations are not only silencing people by taking them off, but they're also doing, for instance, the Donald and Reddit, they didn't remove them, they just remove them and put them in their own little special little ghetto. And that eventually just it decays away because you're not seen anymore.

Right, right. I think, I'm sure, you know, your listeners are familiar. It's basically the biggest pro-Trump forum. And what's particularly worrisome to me about this, they claim that it was taken down because people on the forum were making threats of violence towards police, well, I really doubt conservative Trump supporters are going to threaten police, but maybe, right? But what's worrisome is that anyone can make an account, go into any forum, post whatever they want, take a screenshot, and then, you know, wave flags and say, hey, look, ban them. They're saying bad things. You know, if you're going to tell me that conservatives are making threats against cops,

I'd laugh, and I wouldn't believe you. And so I'm confused as even the Trump supporters are posting photos of police saying we love cops that would never happen. So how easy would it be for some activists to go in, make some fake posts, and then flag that to right to administrators and say, hey, ban them now? Well, first of all, unless they have banned, you know, Black Lives Matter and Antifa, they don't, they don't have a consistent case at all. I'll tell you what. There was a post on one forum, it was a far left forum where they were saying that people should bring firearms to confront want, you know, a Trump rally. And they said, hey, we better bring our guns, protect ourselves.

Now, for one, I'm like, okay, that's, you know, you have a second amendment, right? I can understand that. But how is that not, you know, far left people saying there's going to be violence at this rally so we should bring our guns? That's okay with Reddit. But, you know, right, in its capacity, there's a bunch of better examples I could give them that because that one kind of gets close to the, like a two-way argument. But it's, it's an example, in my opinion, of double standards. Because if you look at some of these left-wing forums, they all day call for violence and harm against other people. So I talked to Dr. Robert Epstein. Do you know him from Harvard, the creepy line? I'm not familiar now.

Okay, you should talk to him. He's fantastic. He started doing research. He's a guy who voted for Hillary Clinton. He's a lefty. Not a lefty. He's a Democrat. And he started doing research on Google because he wanted to see if they were swaying elections at all. And he found real evidence and said that it is much worse in the 2018 than it was in the 2016. And he believes that they can just through their search engines. By the way they give you answers to your queries and how they stack those things, he says that 80% of undecideds can be swayed. and he has evidence that Google is doing it now. Well, isn't that the same thing by saying your videos, my videos, Dave Rubin's videos, Ben Shapiro's videos,

when you go on YouTube and you'll find one of our videos, but then your other videos don't come up in the recommended. It's something else, which they say they are doing right now. That's the same thing. It's a really interesting argument on principle, me, you know, I don't believe my content to anybody. Right. So I will, you know, I tell my, my listeners, listen, you know, if you like my content, share it, otherwise I don't deserve it. But here's the thing. If we then recognize that YouTube is, I believe they're like the largest media distributor on the planet, the second largest search engine. We recognize that. And if they are specifically

targeting certain perspective, because I don't consider myself a conservative, I'm a moderate slightly to the left. Right. But if they're going to take down someone like me or Gabe Rubin or Prager University, and they're still going to provide recommendations to left-wing voices and mainstream media voices, well, then I understand, right, I don't think that I have the right to have my content promoted, but then you are going to see a massive shift in the perception of Americans and the world because Google is feeding them specific ideology. Correct, correct. So I heard you speak earlier this week, and you were talking one of your videos about how

you think it might be too late to get out of the beginning of this matrix. Why do you think that? Well, Twitter, I can't remember who the researcher was, but he took a look at LexusNexus data. This is a big tracking company. They look at stories going back to the 70s, and they tracked a left-wing, identitarian ideological terminology, right? It's kind of jargon, but basically far-left words, like intersectionality, white privilege, And around the beginning of 2010, there's a hockey stick on all of these graphs, a massive skyrocketing.

I think this has to do with digital media companies who are not ideologically driven, who discovered pissing people off results in shares, which results in money. So they end up hiring these activists to push this narrative, this ideology over and over again. And we're at a point now where you look at some of these internal messages like what Veritas leaked, where they refer to Prager You and Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, as Nazis. And you can see that these people have really been infected with what I, a dogmatic ideology of some sort. So now we're at a point where you have a very large group of people who, I guess you can say, you know, have been indoctrinated through this algorithmic money

chasing. They're not going to let those views go. Their world is built around this idea that's a fake reality. How do you break that? I don't know, right? Because these companies certainly aren't going to disappear overnight. They are hurting now, you know, the buzz feeds, the foxes, et cetera. But now look at what happens with the, these people are so entrenched in their tribalism that you have Donald Trump come out, what, years ago saying we have a border crisis. And it took two years for the media and the Democrats to finally recognize we actually have a border crisis. And now they're finally going to, so because the media was so, you know, look, these media companies are making money off of this ideology, all of them, you know, and it's infecting the

bigger, more credible sources now as well. Like the New York Times runs a front page story about one guy who watched YouTube videos to push some narrative about the far right. It was complete nonsense. So the New York Times is now hiring on these people. They refuse to acknowledge reality, and that truly terrifies me. And you know, what's crazy is I feel like we're too far gone at this point. I mean, maybe it's a bit hyperbolic.

But when you look at the rhetoric we have where we say, hey, these people are pushing things that are nonsense, there's nothing we can do. how do we stop this? I mean, they're saying the exact same thing about us. Oh, these people live in a fake reality. It's like, look, you know, I go, I go on the ground, I've been on the ground across the world. I talk to regular people. They don't believe these weird things that you guys believe on the internet, you know, the far left, but they live in that reality. And now, because all of these young people have started to pick up this, this indoctrination through, you know, the boxes, the Hubbyington Post, the BuzzFeeds, they're starting to work at the New York Times. They're

starting to work at NBC, and they're weaponizing these media platforms to silence their political opponents. So I'll add this very quickly. I recently was leaked some information where I was able to publish an email from a left-wing journalist who accused us. Essentially, it sounded like they were saying Chase Bank was supporting the Proud Boys by providing basic financial services. About a day after that email was sent, Chase cut off the personal and business accounts of Enrique Tari of the proud boys. Look, you don't have to like the proud boys. That's not the point. The point is these journalists know that bad PR is a weapon and they're using it for activist reason. Like they're activists now. It's not about sharing information. It's about weaponizing their platform to hurt

political opponents. And it's only getting worse. So, you know, when it comes to the issue of Google, I look back to the same example of the border. Trump said there was a crisis on the border. Everyone finally agrees for the most part, you know, Gazi Cortez still doesn't. But it took years to get to this point, we have Project Veritas. We have leaked video of Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, saying he's deeply offended by the election, you know, the 2016 election and that Trump supporters don't share his values. That was last year. When are, is the media going to finally say, hey, it's not a conspiracy theory anymore? Two more years? Well, look, this censorship that we're seeing, I, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I got to say it's a damn perfect coincidence

that the same day as a Democratic debate, the Donald gets quarantined so you can't find their posts anymore. Project Veritas has basically been banned by all of the big providers, even Vimeo now, has banned their account, Reddit's banned their account. YouTube took down their video. YouTube, I'll tell you what's really crazy. This is what freaks me out. I made a video commenting on publicly available information that was reported on by BuzzFeed, by the Guardian, by, you know, just all of these major outlets. They said Pinterest, you know, has banned live action, this pro-life group. So I made a video. I commented on it. YouTube took my video down without warning, without any chance to fix any problem, saying I was violating the privacy of the people in the story, even though the information was public was on Twitter, they took my video down.

So that I take a great offense to. I understand, you know, look, YouTube wants to argue that Veritas is violating someone's privacy. I think that's ridiculous. But the argument over when a name is newsworthy, fine, we can have that argument. I still think Veritas is in the right. But for me, we've stepped into an even crazier dystopia where the act of commenting on the information that was already made public is now being banned from the platform. To me, that's scary because that means independent people.

Look, YouTube's the only game in town, right? You're not going to get a million views on Vimeo. You're not going to get a million views on these other video platforms. YouTube has really monopolized the video space. And that means if you want to reach people, YouTube's the only game in town. They've dominated. And they're using that power to suppress those that are critical of what's happening. So I'll say this.

Here's what I think's happening. We know the censorship has been going on for a long time. I think this is partly due to the fact that in reality, conservatives are better at the internet than liberals are. They say the left can't meme. So in response to this, we see these people at Twitter, at Facebook, at Google, start taking down conservative content to try and. rectify that. We know what's happening. Even Jack Dorsey has said his conservative employees are

scared to speak up. Pinterest really, James O'Keefe really cracked the case open with Pinterest's overt censorship of live action. And you could see that Pinterest panicked. They at first, when the story broke, they unblocked live action, but then immediately it should have been saying, you know what, no, we're going to ban them anyway. I think that was an opening of the floodgates that emboldened all these other platforms. So when Veritas comes out with a bigger expose, hey, Google, here's what their employees are saying behind closed doors, Google now says, you know what, screw it, regulations coming anyway, knock them down. I think they're at a point where they just don't care anymore. Pinterest was the floodgates being ripped open where you can't deny it anymore.

And now Google says, you know what, let's just go for it. Tim, I know we have a podcast scheduled with you in a few weeks, and I'm really looking forward to being able to have, you know, some real time to sit down and talk to you about all of this. I appreciate your time today. Thank you so much. Tim Poole. You can follow him at Timcast. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to what we're about to face. All right. Patriot Mobile.

Okay. Here we are talking about how people are using your money, using you, your product, you as a product. And none of us like it. Well, what about Patriot Mobile? Have you thought about your phone companies? Because your phone companies. AT&T, they're giving money hand over fist to plan parenthood. These phone companies are working against the things you believe.

And so every time you use your phone, you're actually helping fund the fight for abortion. It's nuts. Now, you could say, well, I'm not going to use those. And then what are you going to do? Of course, you're going to use them because it's good service, right? So you need something that has great service, has a great price, will save you money, and we'll make it flawless and seamless to switch over. That is Patriot Mobile.

They don't give their money to left-wing causes. These guys are patriots that believe in the Constitution. They have already supported with $2 million free speech just from starting this very small. They take some of their profits and they turn it in to, you know, Second Amendment, pro-life, etc., etc. you're going to get the same great service, you're going to save money, and this company actually is on your side. Please switch right now, patriotmobile.com. Use the promo code back. You'll get a free month of service when you switch over. Patriotmobile.com slash back. Patriotmobile.com promo code back.

We break for 10 seconds. Next week we want to have Dr. Robert Epstein. I think it's Epstein. I'm not sure, but he's from Harvard. And Dr. Bob. Dr. Bob from Harvard. And he is studying this. And he said, we've got to raise money.

And he's talking lots of money. We have to raise enough money to be able to have a full United States monitoring on Google and the games that they're going to play in the 2020 election. I'm telling you, I think these guys. on the left, I think they know they're going to win, not because of anything else other than the fact that they have YouTube, Google, Facebook, everyone, and those analytics are being changed right now, those algorithms are being changed right now to silence voices like ours and heightened voices on the left, you know, those voices of justice. that skews everything, as we showed last night on television.

Google can just by rearranging the search, which he has evidence they are doing, just by rearranging the search results, they can switch independence by 80%. I think he said it was from a 50-50 issue among independents. He can get it to a 90-10 issue either way just by switching the order of results. And he has evidence that Google. is already doing this, that they did this and influenced 72 million Americans in the last primary. Yeah.

And this, I think, is two ways, right? One is, sure, we have to fight back against the way these companies are handling their business. We have to develop our own options, right? Like, you know, some conservative billionaires need to start, you know, designing real products that people want to use. But in addition to that, we also have to have a fundamental. conversation about principles.

So, all right. Back in just a minute. Let me tell you about Car Shield. There's a few things in life that can change your entire outlook on the day, like, you know, having two flat tires, which I did just recently. Anything that's going on in your car. Now, if you have a problem and it's covered, you know, you got a brand new car. It's covered.

You're fine. If it's not covered, it sucks. If you ran out a warranty, you have a car that has five, or 150,000 miles, it doesn't matter. If it doesn't have a warranty, you are in trouble when you have to go in to have something done. That's why I have Car Shield. They make the entire process of fixing your car for a covered repair super easy. You don't have to worry about paying.

You can take it anywhere. They pay the people directly. Anything that is covered, you've got 24-7 roadside assistance, a rental car while yours is being fixed. All free. Car Shield. They are the. They are a great, great blessing for those of us who have cars that are out of warranty.

By the way, we're going to hear from Josh Hammer. who is one of our legal minds that is following the Supreme Court.

He's going to give us the latest on what has been released today from the Supreme Court. But Mark Skousen is on with us right now. He is the producer of Freedom Fest, and I have been invited to speak at Freedom Fest, and he is with us now. Hi, Mark. How are you? Well, I'm doing great, Glenn. It's glad to be on your show to talk about the big show in Vegas, Freedom Fest.

Okay, so it's in Vegas. When is it? It's a few weeks away, isn't it? Yep, July. 17 through the 20th. It's a Wednesday, starting the evening with our opening ceremonies and ends with our Saturday program. We've got the full schedule online at freedomfest.com, and we're expecting a couple thousand people. We're very excited to have you. Now, these are libertarians, conservatives. These are the people that are actually looking at the Constitution and trying to rule their life on on constitutional things. In fact, we do have a Constitution Day with Douglas Ginberg, the judge.

He's going to be covering that topic as well as 250 other sessions. You know, Glenn, the whole idea of Freedom Fest, which I came up with over a decade ago, was we're losing this war for freedom, mainly because we're all. going our separate ways and I know you have tried your best to gather people together. My idea is that once a year all the freedom lovers come together in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, and we come together to network, to socialize, to learn, to celebrate liberty. And you've been there before you came in 2015, which is when Donald Trump came. And we had 2,500 people there. It was just

standing room only. Mark, who do you who do you have this year? You have Justice Ginsburg, not Justice Ginsburg. You have what did you just say? Gorsuch. Yeah, yeah. And then you have, you have me. I know Penn Gillette

is coming. Who else is coming? Well, we have Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank, and he's going to debate John Mackey, the CEO of Whole Foods Markets about the real purpose of business is that to make money or is it have a higher purpose? And of course,

John Mackey argues for a higher purpose in business. And Kevin O'Leary says, listen, it's all about making money if you want a friend by a dog. It's going to be a lexifying. That's going to be a great debate. Yeah. But we do a lot of debates.

We're going to have a debate on is eating meat, ethical and nutritional is one of our debates with John Mackey as well as Joel Salatin, who's the libertarian Christian farmer from Virginia. We have John Stossel, George Gilder, Rich Lowry from National Review, Alan Dersowitz, and Randy Barnett are going to talk specifically about these recent Supreme Court decisions. We have Steve Moore and Herman Kane, who both were going to be nominated to go in the and we're going to ask them what would they have done if they had been nominated and became members of the Fed. We have Candace Owens, the fiery black conservative who took on Congress recently.

It's really a fun conference. Well, I will be there. And if you want to join us, how do you get tickets? So the best thing is to go to FreedomFest.com. And if they register before July 1st, you get $100 off. it's really going to be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to having you there again and to meet all of these people who are anxious to change. You know, my feeling is if we all gather together once a year, they can't ignore us anymore, right? That's the whole idea. And

if we can get as big as the NRA or what have you, you make a big difference. So, Mark, you are a you're an award-winning economist and i don't know if you saw the debate last night but they're talking about ending the free market now in the democratic party yeah how fast can this thing be dismantled well i think they're these the democratic party is trying to distinguish themselves some way so the way they're doing it is by going further and further toward the cause of socialism. I mean, let's call it what it is, and that's what your topic is going to be at Freedom Fest.

And, you know, I have to deal with this because I teach economics at Chapman University. I've also taught at Columbia Business School. And I write on the board, I say, okay, let's take this quote that sounds really good, from each according to his ability to each according to his needs. And I don't tell them it's from Karl Marx because I don't want to affect their bias. And I said, just by a show of hands, how many of you upper middle class students at Chapman University, how many of you agree with this? And I get about 75% who raise their hand that says, oh, it sounds really good.

And then I said, put your economics cap on. And what happens to anybody who earns more than the need level, which for them was, believe it or not, 75,000 a year for these students. I said, what if you earn more than 75,000? Well, it's all taken away and it's put into this community pot. So I said, in essence, what's the marginal tax rate under this plan? And it's 100%. And once you, once people, once students get that and they get it right away, suddenly they realize, oh, this isn't really a great plan after all. And when you're through, I have 100% voting against it. They say, we don't want it. So, We have to educate our people, and obviously the Democrats who are running for office offering free Medicare and free college education and so forth.

It all sounds very appealing until you realize it's going to result in extremely high tax rates, which is going to destroy what caused us in the first place to become a prosperous country.

I don't know what's going on here. Glenn takes your calls live on the air. The show starts at 5 p.m. Eastern, so get in line a little early at 888727 Beck. Only on the Blaze. Welcome to the program. We have Josh Hammer on, editor, Large Daily Wire, asked him to go through the SCOTUS rulings today. We started when we were on the phone about an hour and a half ago, and as the ruling came out, it looked like things were going in favor of Donald Trump for the census.

but it's kind of a complex ruling. And it's not necessarily in favor, although they can go back and, you know, ask for another hearing. Josh, what have you found out on this? Yeah, so apologies to you, Glenn, for the bit of fake news on the air earlier. No, no, no.

Everybody, I mean, I looked up to the TV at the same time. Everybody was reporting it that way at that time. Yeah, you know what it reminds you of it. reminds me of the big Obamacare case from 2012, right? When Roberts declined to uphold the mandate on Commerce Clause grounds, and only we found out, like, 10 minutes later that he was actually going on, you know, rewriting his attack. So it kind of reminds me of that.

And that's about what happened here, too. I mean, this is just a total, total, total John Roberts special. The whole opinion to the extent I've been able to read it so far, just reads like pure John Roberts. So basically what happened here is the core. is saying that the executive branch's decision to reinstate the citizenship question on the census is neither a constitutional violation nor a violation of the Census Act, the statute that, you know, the actual operative statute that permits the government to impose the census.

What they do question, and Justice Thomas kind of gets at this, and Alito, who is quite angry in his separate opinion, gets that even harder, I think. What they do question is, whether Secretary Wilbur Ross, the Secretary of Commerce, whether his actual stated rationale, his public rationale, mirrors his private motivations in such a way as to bring this in compliance with a separate statute, the Administrative and Procedure Act, which is kind of the governing statute for how all the various bureaucracies of our government can promulgate and issue regulations. So that's a lot of lawyer talk. I know it's...

What the hell does that even mean? So they're saying that they can do it. It doesn't violate anything. They can do it. But they don't like how they did it? Yeah, that's actually exactly what it is, Glenn. You nailed it. It's kind of an insane ruling to balance with you.

I'm still kind of fully wrapping my head around it. You know what it reminds me of actually? It reminds me of how during the so-called travel ban litigation that culminated in the Trump v. Hawaii case a year ago, how people were talking about how, like, the president, then public rationale didn't mirror, you know, his tweet, like what he was saying, like, during the campaign. Right. It kind of reminds me a lot of that.

It's, this is just such classic John Robert. I mean, if I had a, if I were had, if I had a Chief Justice, John Roberts Hall of Fame, this opinion would be right up there with his Obamacare opinion as kind of crowned rules. He just twists himself into a knot to make sure that nobody is offended by anything. So, so what does this mean? So, so do they have to go do it a different way? Or what? If they didn't violate the Constitution or the law, what else has to be decided?

Yeah, I mean, they basically are sending it back to do, as far as I can tell, essentially plead their case and prove that their motivation for making this is legitimate. It's nuts. I mean, like, it's really nuts. I mean, like Thomas said, gets it right right in the very first page of his, it's a partial concurrence, partial dissent. It reads more like a dissent. But this from the first paragraph, I'll just read if you don't mind, just as Thomas says, our only role in this case is to decide whether the Secretary of Commerce complied with the law and gave a reason to explanation for his decision. The court correctly answers these questions in the affirmative that ought to end our inquiry.

And he's right. It's an insane proposition to inquire as to the private subjective motives as to whether these actors, Secretary Ross here was acting in private good faith in a way that aligned with his publicly stated rationale. But what were they accusing him of? It reads kind of like,

it's kind of what we were saying on the air earlier about how a lot of people are worried that this will suppress census turnout and have drastic potential implications. So are they, they're accusing the secretary of trying to suppress the vote or

to suppress voices in the country? I mean, what is it that they're alleged? I'm looking here at page 18 of Roberts's majority opinion, and he's talking about how the Census Bureau predicted a 5.1% decline in response rates among non-citizen households, if this isn't your question, were reinstated. So this is kind of what he's talking about here. He's giving air time to the complaints from the left that an infestrian question will actually dilute turnout. And he's trying to basically make sure that this is being done for wholly legitimate reasons.

Right. And they're saying basically like the government provided a wholly legitimate reason, but we think Wilbur Ross had another one, which was just to suppress illegal immigrants. and therefore we're just going to throw this back to the courts and let them try to re-argue it. And my understanding, Josh, is basically they have a deadline, a self-imposed deadline, which we don't know if it's actually real, but they'd have to get this done because of all the printing and everything else that needs to be done with the census. So they have a small window to essentially re-argue this. Is that correct? Yeah, that's absolutely correct.

And this strikes me the kind of litigation that because of the timeline that you just mentioned, Stu, like, should be dramatically expedited. I mean, I hope that the government could get their day in court, like, essentially tomorrow. Unbelievable. Wow. Amazing. Thank you, John Roberts. Yet another fabulous pick by a Bush. Josh Hammer, Daily Wire.

I think we'd be better if we had an actual Bush pick. We just show it to, like, you know, some sort of berry bush and just say, which one? And the way the leaves blow, we would decide that's our next Supreme. Court Justice.
