Hello, America, and welcome to the program.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Some really good news. Are you ready for some really good news? I mean, this I'm actually excited for. Today is President Biden's first press conference. Yeah, yeah, he's having a press conference. Yeah, it's going to be great. It's so quickly, too. Well, I know.
Starting point is 00:02:18 And now it's customary to have the president's first press conference in primetime. His press conference is happening at 1.30 this afternoon. But to him, that is prime time. Yeah. To be fair. Right after dinner. His watch kind of is like dog gears. No, it is prime time for him.

Starting point is 00:04:26 I am too because you know he can't handle it. You know he can't. Well, it depends. I mean, usually those things will go 45 minutes or an hour. If it goes that long, I don't know if he will. You can't. No, he can't go that long. Yeah, I mean, he, plus you have to factor in that the media is not necessarily
Starting point is 00:04:44 invested in watching him collapse on stage? No, I know that. So they're going to do everything they can, I think, to alert him, to bring him along nicely. Did you see that Peter Ducey reported on something that happened last night? As he was walking out of the room,
Starting point is 00:05:02 some reporter yelled, President Biden, are you ready for the press conference? And his response was, what press conference? Yeah. He had no idea. He had no idea. So it should be interesting.
Starting point is 00:05:14 It's really good. It should be interesting. That's really good. He doesn't know. What would be 64, 66 days, something like that. Yeah. And I listen to NPR this morning. You'll have to listen to it because it is just so funny.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Because the way they are just backpedaling for this guy is unbelievable. Oh, yeah. So is this is this unusual for a. president to have a press conference this late in his first hundred days. First of all, you know the answer. You would have been that that host would have been saying, it's highly unusual. This is double the record of any president. So we go to our reporter, you know, Kay Matherson, who is going to be identifying as a black hermaphrodite later on in the program.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And she came, she came on and she said, you know, I started looking. And I only went back as far as Truman, but this is a little longer than most presidents. Is it a little longer? Yeah, it is. Okay. Yeah. Just, it's just twice as long. Just twice as long.
Starting point is 00:06:27 That's like a little longer. And it's not through Truman. It's for the last 100 years, I believe. Yeah, that's the stat I saw. Yeah. So it goes back even further than that. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:36 They just couldn't get back that far. They said that he's going to be answering all kinds of questions, and we have all kinds of questions. We want to talk to him about China. Of course, we want to talk to him about the border and the fact that his dogs are back in the White House. Yes, finally, get some answers. I swear to you, that was one of the questions. His dogs are back in the White House. You know, after they were, after they bit somebody, Joe Biden sent them home up to Delaware and they were retrained and now they're back in the White House.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Incredible. That is wonderful. It really is. It really is. It really is. I've been wondering about the dogs. now Biden said this is one of the reasons why I'm excited today because he might say something like this. Come on, come on, folks.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I mean, you know it. There's a lot to do. But together we can ensure our daughters have the same rights and opportunities as our sons. I'd like to know what opportunities they don't have. Being drafted? Because they can't. That's one thing. He said that there isn't a single thing, a man.
Starting point is 00:07:42 can do that a woman can't do as well or better. This is just such pandering. As if we have never seen other people. Like it's like, if you lived in a world where you were like, I don't know, like you were in the village in the movie and you're like, we've never seen other people before. Look, like maybe you'd believe that. But obviously this is true. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:03 For both sides. You can't write your name in the snow. You can't, you can't stand up and go pee. I mean, a few of them. Right to the both urine examples. You can't impregnate somebody else. Oh, my gosh. Did you hear that, Pat?
Starting point is 00:08:20 Yes. Did you hear that, Pat? Oh, my gosh. Yes, I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I mean, look, you know, the, Pat, we were talking about this, I think, the other day, that the people who are winning Olympic gold medals for females are being. Setting world.
Starting point is 00:08:39 World records. Are being beaten by multiple. by dozens of high school boys. High school. That's the, yeah, that's the women's team from here, right? From Dallas, they came and it wasn't it a soccer team? Oh, well, there's that example as well.
Starting point is 00:08:55 From the women's soccer team that played a 13 and 14 year old boys soccer team here in Dallas. These are the gold medal winners. They're talking about being so underpaid. The Dallas 13 and 14 year old team beat them. The women's Olympic team. Beat them. Beat them. Beat them.
Starting point is 00:09:11 How about? Like soundly. It was five to two, I think. Oh my gosh. Which is about 100 to zero if you've ever watched a basketball game. That's what that would be the equivalent. Yeah. What about Serena Williams and Venus Williams?
Starting point is 00:09:25 Got beaten by the 2003rd ranked man in the world. Come on, folks. When she was number one? When she was number one. Come on, folks. Come on. We all know the thing. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:09:36 It has to be a moment where the American people stand up and say, okay, we obviously no, that's not true. And they don't seem to do it anymore. No, I don't think so. That moment has died. I feel like people are afraid. I think really people are afraid. They just don't want, they see this as
Starting point is 00:09:53 unneeded trouble. I don't need to say anything on that. And it's stupid. I think we do. I think we do. Because there are a million things women do better than men. But there are also a million things men do better than women. We don't do the same things.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Stop with this. Stop with this pandering. Stupid. We are different. We're born. differently. We are different. You know, here's one thing that women can't do. Understand men.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Okay. We can't understand women either. We are different. And that's fine. You know, I don't know why this society is all of a sudden, they preach diversity. But the last thing they want is diversity. They don't want diversity of thought. They don't want diversity in color. They don't want diversity between men and women.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It's incredible. I mean, remember the huge, massive book, men are from Mars and women are from Venus? It was a massive book. I bet you it's nonstop cancel stuff in there now. I bet if you went back and read that thing today, it's probably filled with all sorts of differences between men and women, which would get you fired today for noticing. Well, I know that Joe Biden did read that book because I've actually read an article where he talked about that book. Oh, really? Unfortunately, his wife, Jill didn't read it.
Starting point is 00:11:07 She was out winning the World Championship weightlifting title. Really? Yeah. Wow. Wow. By the way, yesterday, yesterday, do we all remember when Donald Trump got in so much trouble? Because, you know, he was saying, you know, the, maybe you should drink bleach. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:27 But also when he was also when he was saying that hydroxychloroquine might be something you should take. Okay. something that is legitimate to say. Remember what he said? What the press said. Yesterday, Joe Biden, standing with doctors in Ohio at a cancer hospital,
Starting point is 00:11:56 said, you know, dogs may help cure cancer. It's not a joke, folks. It's not a joke, folks. joke. Dogs may cure cancer. Yeah. I haven't seen
Starting point is 00:12:12 a dog in a lab coat, but maybe I mean, maybe there's not one thing that a dog can't do, that a human can do. Right. There's not one thing. Not one thing. If a human could cure cancer, so good a dog. Yeah. Dogs are people too. I think
Starting point is 00:12:27 what he meant was that dogs play a role. They can smell cancer in legs. So if they go up to your leg, they can smell it you. Yeah. Some can't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:38 If you have leg cancer. Yeah. I don't know how it works. Not either. But he was talking about their olifactory though. Right. And yeah. That's not curing cancer.
Starting point is 00:12:47 That's like that's like my. It's like my golden retriever. Oh, he's the best hunter. No, he's not. He goes, I hunt the bird. He smells it out and goes and gets it. He doesn't. The dog doesn't shoot the bird?
Starting point is 00:13:01 No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. Well, it's currently curing cancer. So it is bad to miss all of the Did you hear about the Suez Canal being blocked? Yes. Okay. Kind of a big deal.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yeah. Yeah. Kind of a big deal. It's going to raise gas prices. Oh, it's going to raise prices and delays on everything. You think you had a hard time getting, you know, something from, I don't know, Pakistan, I guess. If you, you know, it now our ships have to go around, what is it called? horn of Africa all the way down to the bottom of Africa and then back up.
Starting point is 00:13:40 It's really bad. Now, I want to show you something. And please, we're going to describe this to you on radio, but please, gentlemen, I can't figure out how to describe this. They say they lost power. Okay. Now, this is serious. This is funny, but it's serious.
Starting point is 00:13:59 They say the ship just lost power. but before it went into the canal, this is the plot. This is the, this is the diagram, if you will, the chart of the ship being blown around without power. Now, I thought this was not being blown around without power. This is before they lost power. Am I wrong on that? Well, maybe because this is when this is before they were in. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:29 So this is before they were in the, in the canal. I'm thinking the guys messing with us a little bit because I don't believe that. I don't believe that that's an accident. There's no way that is. I mean, to describe it, if you look at the chart, it looks like butt cheeks with a very accurate in a third grade sort of way of a male body part. headed for the middle of the butt cheeks. That is pretty much what it looks like. Right?
Starting point is 00:15:10 And there is no way. Remember when the ships were taken over and they were hacked into? You remember the Navy ships? Yeah. Remember? This isn't a Navy ship. So it's not, it wouldn't have the same sign of kind of security. I would assume that a naval ship would.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I'm wondering if. If this was intentional, if this is like, look who's about to get, um, uh, you are. And it goes in. And now it's wedged sideways in the canal. And they can't move it. So a theory being, if I'm understanding this right, that someone takes over the navigation. Yes. Processes of the ship.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yes. Draws a funny third grade joke with it. Well, I mean this honestly. I'm not trying to be funny. Mm-hmm. This is the honest chart. The of the ship. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And you can see it looks like a male part. Yes. Is there any way that that is a coincidence? That's very elaborate. It does seem almost impossible that that could be just random. Possible that that's just the way it happened. No. I don't think so either.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I don't think so either. So again, the theory is that someone takes over the ship, draws this funny pattern in the GPS, then takes it into the canal, then. lodges it. Lodges it intentionally. Yes. And they're saying they lost power. I don't think they lost power.
Starting point is 00:16:38 I bet you they lost control. Maybe they did. Maybe this was the same thing. They took over the navigation systems and had the power turned off or whatever. It's certainly worth investigating. Yeah. I mean, if that's, I wouldn't have thought this. I would have just thought this was an accident until I saw that chart.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Now, I will say. I see that chart. We'll have to, can we tweet out my, can we tweet out on, on my social media? And I would say my first I thought here, when I saw this map was that it was fake. But it was in a news story from a reputable, relatively reputable source. It was like, what was the Daily News or the Post or something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Now, of course, only the Daily News from the Post would write a story about the penis-shaped, you know, map. Oh, wait, is that what you're getting from that? Yeah. Oh, I didn't see that. Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah. No, that's not what we were talking about. Oh, gee, sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Holy cow. That is, you know, the headline of the news story. So, but only they would write the story, right? Like, you know, the New York Times is not going to write the story. That's true. About the mail appendage. Now, can I give you one more? Can I give you one more story here while we're on the mail appendage?
Starting point is 00:17:45 There is a new story out from Sky News from their science and tech news desk. I thought I had heard it all on global warming. But there is a new threat. Uh-oh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh, here's the headline. Human penises are shrinking because of pollution.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Oh, I just. Now are you interested, you pigs? No. No. No. No. Uh-huh. I'm not interested in anything green.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Uh, okay. Let me tell you about Car shield. Uh, car shield is, uh, I mean, you feel, don't you feel kind of like you need a funeral when you're, when when you're warranty?

Starting point is 00:20:03 I've got very little fun news left You've used it all up In the first segment Almost used it all up. Should I save that or should we just go over? What I keep thinking, though, is this woman who wrote the book about the global warming and the shrinking units. Yes. You just, what if you, if you're married to her, you have to be like, what the heck?
Starting point is 00:20:30 You wrote one book? Come on. Any other topic? I've just noticed, I've just noticed when it gets warmer, you get smaller. God, seriously? A whole book? You're doing interviews about this? Look, I turn the temperature of the pool up and it's still getting smaller.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I will think, though, this may create a whole generation of new environmentalists who can just say, look, it's not my fault. It's the freaking environment. Andrew Cuomo. It's Andrew Cuomo. Hey, it's the pollution. All right. You should have seen it before. It was magnificent.
Starting point is 00:21:17 It's a little bit... I mean, they will blame anything on global warming, but this is one, because normally it's stuff that people, it's just annoys people, right? They're like, oh, geez, are you serious? You're blaming what now? I can't turn on my big screen TV. There's a lot of people who are going to embrace this one, I think.
Starting point is 00:21:34 They're just going to be like, look, it's not my fault. Yes, it's not as impressive as maybe you thought it was. But you know what? It's 0.7 degrees warmer, too. Have you considered that? Let me give you, let me give you some just satisfying news here. You know,
Starting point is 00:21:50 all the Californians are moving to Austin because I think it's just going to be great. It's going to be great. It's so open and free. And all the Austiners are like, oh, it's going to be great having all these California because they're going to help us keep Austin weird. Yeah, well, are you ready?
Starting point is 00:22:07 apparently newly arrived wealthy residents from Austin are having a hard time adjusting to some of the things that are happening in Austin like the local weekend car club meetups. They're in East Austin's Chicano Park. They have a car meetup and the non-Hispanic white tenants have called the police on the members of the car club labeling the event as scary. and a display of toxic masculinity. Yeah.

I want you to call TimeShare Termination Team and get the process started to get out of your timeshare.

Starting point is 00:24:10 If you miss last night's Blaze TV lineup, you miss some great stuff about gun control and the future of it. at blazTV.com slash glen. The promo code is Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. We have Senator Tent Cruz on with us now. He's, we have several topics we want to hit. But I have to start with this. A reporter asked him yesterday,
Starting point is 00:24:36 could you please wear a mask? And here's what he said. Yeah, when I'm talking to the TV camera, I'm not going to wear a mask. And all of us have been immunized. So you're welcome to step away, if you like. the whole point of a vaccine CDC guidance is what we're following
Starting point is 00:24:57 yeah good for you Ted Cruz welcome to the program how are you Ted Glenn good morning good to be with you thank you I want to talk to you about the border we now have confirmation that it's not only the Dallas Convention Center
Starting point is 00:25:13 but they are now storing people in Pekos Texas Midland Carrizo Springs to Texas military basis, plus 1,400 are going to be housed now at the San Diego Convention Center. What's happening, Ted? It's a great crisis at the border, and it's getting worse and worse every day.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Go ahead. It's the direct result of political decisions made by Joe Biden and his administration. They caused this crisis, and their political decisions continue to make it worse. Do you think, I mean, honestly, I was talking to a farmer the other day, And when he saw what the president and his administration did with the farm relief bill and said, hey, we're going to give it to black farmers and minority farmers and not necessarily white, he said, Glenn, I just, there's no other way for me to view that other than intentional divisiveness. He said, there's just nothing more divisive than that, especially for a community of farmers,
Starting point is 00:26:19 where everybody is helping each other. Everybody's on the same size. It doesn't matter what color you are. The same thing here. Is this just sheer incompetence? Or did they know this was going to happen and they did it anyway? It's something worse than that, which is it's rabid partisanship that blinds them to everything else. This administration is driven by the hard left.
Starting point is 00:26:46 The agenda is set by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and AOC. and their view on the border is they support open borders. They view ICE. You know, Kamala Harris said ICE law enforcement are the equivalent of KKK or stormtroopers. That's their view. And so Joe Biden got elected president. As soon as he gets sworn in,
Starting point is 00:27:06 in his first week, he halted construction of the border wall. He reinstituted the failed policy of catch and release. So now when we catch an illegal immigrant, we let him go, we give him a court date sometime in the future, and we know a whole lot of them are never coming back to be seen again. And most indefensibly, he ended the remain in Mexico policy. Now, what is the remain in Mexico policy? It was a big foreign policy victory of the Trump administration,
Starting point is 00:27:35 where President Trump negotiated with Mexico, and Mexico agreed that illegal immigrants from Central America, who had applied for asylum in the United States, would remain in Mexico while the cases proceeded. And it was working, and it was lowering the number of, numbers dramatically. And the Biden administration is so ideological. They didn't care. And they've produced, we are already seeing right now, the highest number of illegal immigrants in 20 years on the southern border. And HHS has in their custody 11,551 children. And that's just
Starting point is 00:28:11 HHS. HHS. They said, you know, Ted, you and I were down to the border years ago under Obama. And you and I both know, and I called Chuck Todd myself and said, hey, you've got to look into this. They were not interested in the, quote, cages that were holding children. Now they're not interested again. In fact, they're making the argument that this is humanitarian. This is the right thing to do to keep them in cages. That is exactly right. For four years of the Trump presidency, Democrats in the media talked every day about kids and cages. What they ignored is that Barack Obama built the cages.
Starting point is 00:28:55 You and I both went to those cages during the Obama administration. They utterly ignored that. And now Joe Biden is making the cages bigger, and they're more full. And I'll tell you, it is truly a catastrophe. You take a facility like the Donna facility in South Texas. The Donna facility has a capacity of 250 people. It was built to house 250 detainees. It currently has nearly 4,000.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Oh, my gosh. That is over 1,500% in excess of its capacity. And so there's a reason why the Biden administration is trying to hide it. You know, I'm flying down to the border tonight, and I'm bringing 18 senators down to the border to see firsthand what's happening. The Biden administration is refusing to allow press to join us. Fox News wanted to embed with us, ABC News wanted to embed with us, and the Biden administration has a total press blackout.
Starting point is 00:29:55 They won't allow reporters in. And Glenn, their justification is laughable on its face. They say the reason they want to allow reporters in is because reporters might have COVID. And so one cameraman, a pool cameraman, they said, nope, too big a COVID risk, we can't let the guy with a camera in. And it's because they want to hide the absolute disaster. they've created. Ted, bring your phone. Can you bring your phone in there? I'm going to bring my phone, and we'll see what they do. I expect some fireworks because the Biden administration is desperately trying to cover this up. By the way, we went and looked. So I've been down to the border in the
Starting point is 00:30:34 Trump administration. They allowed media in and cameras in. I've been down to the border in the Obama administration. They allowed media in and cameras in. By the way, George W. Bush, they allowed media and cameras in to the facilities then. Bill Clinton, they allowed media in. It is only, Joe Biden that engages in this cover-up, and right now, I think too many of the press are still being docile and defenders of him, and they're making arguments that are facially absurd. You want to talk about COVID-19? Glenn, I'm going to give you a stunning statistic of the illegal immigrants that are being released in Harlingen, Texas. They are testing positive for COVID-19 at a rate
Starting point is 00:31:17 seven times higher than the U.S. population. And they're just releasing these people. They're letting them go. Many of them, they're not even testing. I mean, it is the reports, and I'm going to go see it tonight and tomorrow, but the reports are that the kids are packed in so tight that they're sleeping on their sides
Starting point is 00:31:38 because they can't even lay down flat. And that, in the midst of a pandemic, that is the direct result of the decisions, Biden is made and these kids, little boys, little girls who are being handed over to human traffickers. These guys are violent criminals. They're physically assaulting these children. They're sexually assaulting these children. And it is not humane. It is not compassionate to adopt policies that result in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of little boys and little girls being abused by human traffickers.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Ted, I'd love to have you on tomorrow. I don't know where you're planning. is, but after you see the camp, we'd love to have you back on. We'll definitely do it. Okay. Real quick, I have to ask you two more questions. First of all, you said, HR1, this is a quote, the most dangerous bill this committee has ever considered. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:34 So this bill, which many of us are calling the Corrupt Politicians Act, is designed to entrench and keep corrupt politicians in office forever. It's designed to keep democratic control of the federal government for the next 100 years. How do they do that? It's a total federal takeover of all of our election. Absolutely unconstitutional. It's completely unconstitutional. But it's also deliberately dangerous.
Starting point is 00:33:03 It invites and creates massive voter fraud. How does it do it? It repeals virtually every state voter integrity law. So, for example, 29 states require voter ID. The Corrupt Politicians Act repeals all of those laws, says it's illegal to require ID to vote. That's an invitation to fraud, and it's intended to be that. It requires universal mail-in voting, which is another wide opportunity for fraud, and it requires ballot harvesting. 31 states prohibit ballot harvesting, which is where you have paid political operatives going, say, to a nursing home and collecting hundreds of ballots, many from people who may no longer be competent to make those decisions.
Starting point is 00:33:46 decisions, and it invites fraud if you have someone from the DNC and gosh, you know, grandpa votes the wrong way and votes Republican, they can just throw that ballot in the trash and only mail in the Democratic ones. Not only that, it mandates immediate registration of essentially everyone, anyone who interacts with the government. So if you get a welfare check, if you get an unemployment check, if you get a driver's license, if you attend a public college or university, you're automatically registered to vote. they know that will result in registering millions of illegal aliens, not just a couple, but millions.
Starting point is 00:34:23 And that is because the Democrats want millions of illegal aliens to vote. And on top of that, it mandates it strikes down all the state laws restricting criminals from voting, restricting felons from voting. It says the instant anyone gets out of prison, they're entitled to vote no matter what the state law is. And I guess the Democrats have made the decision that if millions of illegal immigrants and millions of criminals are able to vote, they're going to vote for Democrats, and that's going to keep them in power. This is a dangerous bill. They've already said that they're spinning it as the Republicans are just trying to take away your right to vote. That's how they're spinning it.
Starting point is 00:35:02 And they're starting to talk about the filibuster. Now I view it as a threat from the president to the, to the. Senate to pass these common sense gun reforms. I mean, is it unreasonable to think that they'll take away the filibuster and that they are coming for
Starting point is 00:35:26 all of the guns? I think there is a very serious risk on both of those. The filibuster right now, as you know, we have a 50-50 Senate. If all of the Democrats stand together, they can end the filibuster. Right now it takes 60 votes to pass legislation.
Starting point is 00:35:42 but if all the Democrats stand together, they can do it. 48 of them have already said they will. There are only two Democrats who even claim they will oppose it. It is Joe Manchin from West Virginia and Kirsten Cinema from Arizona. I'll tell you, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are reining down a world of hurt. I can tell you, I've served in the Senate nine years with Joe Manchin. He's a very nice man. He's very affable and likable.
Starting point is 00:36:08 In nine years, he has never once stood up to Chuck Schumann. on any issue that mattered when he was the deciding vote. And so the pattern we've seen from him is he finds some cute way to say he didn't give in, but let Schumer do exactly what he wants. And I think there's a real risk of that on the filibuster. And if they do that, their number one priority is the corrupt politicians act, because that keeps them in power forever. But you better believe packing the U.S. Supreme Court is right behind that.
Starting point is 00:36:39 making DC a state is right behind that and coming after our guns. As you know, Glenn, when Joe Biden was asked, if you win, does that mean you're coming after the guns? And his answer was bingo. That's what they intend to do. Thank you. Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz for the great state of Texas. We'll talk to you tomorrow after you've visited the cages and can tell us really what's going on down to the border. Thank you so much, Ted. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:37:06 God bless. You bet. Senator Ted Cruz. We have more on guns and the border. And this amazing report that is showing that Catholics, literally Catholics, are dangerous extremists. I mean, no qualification, just Catholics. Okay. It's unbelievable.

Starting point is 00:40:55 to know, Lone Wolf. He just he did it all by himself and there's nothing to see here. Nothing to see here. He was just mentally ill. More on that and so much more. Next hour. Let me tell you first about our sponsor,

Starting point is 00:42:43 Nothing to see in Denver except the guns. Nothing to see there. And something I have not read since the O'Barrie. Obama administration, the press wants you to know, this guy was a lone wolf. He was a loner and a lone wolf. Nothing to see here. This was just mental illness or maybe, I don't know, workplace violence. Remember that one all the time? And this could very well be. Yet we still don't know. Lots of questions still remain unanswered. Wow. When has that happened? I mean, it was
Starting point is 00:43:21 it was proven to be otherwise and yet Donald Trump he is he's working with the Russians he's working with the Russians they rushed to that one they rushed last week
Starting point is 00:43:36 even though the shooter said no I'm a sex addict and I was trying to get rid of these women I was angry at no no no that was white anger against Asians they
Starting point is 00:43:50 rushed everything, not on this one. Why? Because it doesn't fit the narrative. And what's really going on is control, a storyline that they started to tell the day they got in office. And now things are out of order. And it's not going to be as easy now. I'll tell you that storyline that nobody else will tell you in 60 seconds. There's something about a business being family owned and fully geared towards the best interest of its customers that has meant something to me and also to, I think, the majority of Americans. You know, I saw this poll from the World Economic Forum and they said, you know, people all around the world, the only thing they left that they trust are corporations and businesses. You know, I think you're not that stupid, but maybe you are.
Starting point is 00:44:49 We don't trust big corporations. We trust our local businessmen. We trust the people who are running the mom and pop store. That's who you trust. They're the only people now we trust. Well, anyway, American financing is that company. It was started by a family, still run by a family. The world of home loan options is not always a friendly one, but they are friendly,
Starting point is 00:45:14 and they will help you without any strings attached. There's no surprises. Just call them. The coming months are bound to be interesting. Oh, the Chinese. Thank you for that curse. May you live an interesting time? Well, it's certainly interesting now.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I want you to call American financing at 8009062440 and refinance your debt. Or if you're looking for a mortgage, now is the time to do it. And these are the people to help you. 8009062440 or go to Americanfinancing. Dot net. American financing. NMLS. 182334.
Starting point is 00:45:49 www. nmls consumer access.org. The accused Boulder supermarket gunman, Ahmed al-A-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-Lsa. What is this? It's Ahmed Al-Ali-A-Lew-A-Lissa. I love that. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? The press wants you to know, he's a loner.
Starting point is 00:46:19 He's a lone wolf. He just lived in his family's basement, never had a girlfriend. Usami al-Musa, Alyssa's brother-in-law, said that the shooter lived in the basement of his family's home there in Colorado, never had a lot of friends.
Starting point is 00:46:39 He said every time I visited with my wife's family, he would always sit away from everyone else, not saying anything to anyone. It was really strange. He was a loner, just sitting to the side, not with us. He works with his family and his brothers. But there were never any girlfriends and not many friends. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Even his mother said this. When he was arrested for the massacre, this is what his mother said. He has a reputation of being stupid, not smart. You imagine your mom saying that about you? Yeah, my son. What a dummy. He's not like a proper Muslim. I don't even know what kind of Muslim he was.
Starting point is 00:47:22 He didn't go to the mosque I go to. Just odd coming from a mom. That's your first statement? Really? Well, I think, though, when your son has murdered 10 people, probably the best thing you can do is make him not responsible for it because he's dumb or he's got an illness or whatever the case may be. I mean, that's your sort of backup reasoning.
Starting point is 00:47:46 And certainly, you don't want to blame it on your faith. So you're going to say he wasn't a good Muslim. Your first thing is, I mean, think about the parents so they're always like we didn't see this coming we have yeah not yep he's been known to be a dummy for a long time people might think maybe the parenting was an issue here in this particular situation hey dummy get back into the basement now we know that he is a Muslim however Twitter has said that calling him a white Christian terrorist, have you read this, quote, doesn't violate its misinformation policies.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Twitter told Newsweek that characterizing accused mass murder, Ahmed Aloui, is as a white Christian terrorist does not violate its misinformation policies, even though he is from Syria and has been identified as a Muslim. Prior to the suspect's identity being made public, the magazine said numerous Twitter users assumed the suspect was white and characterized the massacre as another example of racial injustice and white supremacy in the United States. And lo and behold, that white supremacy narrative blew up in all of the Twitter users' faces. Some users have deleted their tweets, calling him white others have defended their
Starting point is 00:49:22 claims saying they were based on his skin color rather than his ethnicity. Newsweek put the misleading posts to Twitter. Social network has been accused of left-wing bias and anti-Christian prejudice, but they said, no, we're not taking any action on these. They're not in violation of the Twitter rules. We will not take action on every instance of misinformation. Currently, our misinformation rules cover code. COVID-19 misinformation, synthetic and manipulated media, and civic integrity.
Starting point is 00:50:00 So you call a guy, you know, a white mass murderer, a white Christian, even though he's a Syrian Muslim. That's not important. No. That's not important misinformation. So the cops went and they visited his home. He was living in an $800,000 home in the basement. And we're starting to get a real look at this guy. Clearly he was mentally ill.
Starting point is 00:50:30 He surrendered, you know, when he surrendered, he's like, I surrender, I surrender, and I'm naked. Because he really was in his underpants. The police have no idea why he stripped down. But apparently he just, he was standing there and he started taking off his clothes to his underwear. And then he was like, I'm naked. I surrender. maybe because he thought that I want them to see
Starting point is 00:50:57 that, you know, I'm not carrying a gun. Carrying a weapon, which it's odd to do after a shooting. But maybe he didn't want to necessarily be just shot. Correct. He wanted to be able to surrender for some reason. Now, according to police, Alyssa, when he was 17,
Starting point is 00:51:14 blacked out and violently assaulted a classmate who had called him a terrorist. The report says Alyssa attacked another student. who had said, he said, was bullying him. He beat him and left him with a red and swollen face and his eye partially closed. The report claims that Kimrose, the other guy, was crying and throwing up when his father arrived and threatened to press charges. Alyssa said he couldn't take being bullied anymore, so he blacked out and rushed him. I blacked out and rushed him.
Starting point is 00:51:52 really he claimed that kinrose called him racist name called him a terrorist even took a video of him and put it on Snapchat
Starting point is 00:52:01 he was charged with a misdemeanor for the for the attack apparently he got bullied a lot in high school so there you know
Starting point is 00:52:12 there's the white culture for you one of the he was on a wrestling team one of the wrestler said he was violent and scary to be around.
Starting point is 00:52:24 He, apparently, in his senior year, they had wrestle-offs to see who would make varsity, and he lost his match, but he quit the team and yelled out in the wrestling room that he was going to kill everybody. And nobody did anything about it. I don't know how that happens.
Starting point is 00:52:45 How is that happening? The guy is violent. He threatens his classmates. I'm going to kill everyone. your kid that eats their peanut butter sandwich into the shape of a gun, they got to jail. But this guy, how is this happening? It happened again.
Starting point is 00:53:04 That's the story in Florida. Now he was 17 years old at the time. He's not 17 now. But nothing to see here. Nothing to see here. Lindsay Graham said, The majority of the Senate will reject Biden's assault weapons ban, but I'm not sure. And I don't think that this is the majority of the Senate will.
Starting point is 00:53:32 That's interesting. I guess what all 50 Republicans and Joe Manchin is a majority? Yeah, maybe. And of course, Joe Manchin not exactly reliable, as Ted Cruz just pointed out on this program. No. And I think this is coming out of order, though. Let me tell you the story that I think, you know, if you don't see this, you are truly blind.
Starting point is 00:53:55 And I, you know, I'm a religious nut job. So what do I know? But I can only describe what is happening in our country and our world as evil. The forces of evil have been unleashed. And everything is under attack. This isn't just about America. This is about the Western Judeo-Core. Christian way of life. This is about everything on the line that the West has done.
Starting point is 00:54:29 And it is a really well thought out plan that has been in operation for a very long time. And I think that, you know, it's like look at how fast everything has happened in the last 67 days. Look how fast things have happened. You already are questioning your military now, aren't you? You're questioning your military. Whatever side you're on, you're questioning the brass if you're a conservative, and you're questioning the average soldier if you're a liberal. The military was the last thing that we had that we counted on,
Starting point is 00:55:10 that we believed was not political, and they've politicized it. So much so that in about 10 minutes, you're going to hear from a guy who testified in front of Congress. Congress, what they are doing in our military. It is terrifying how they're accusing our military of being complete nut jobs. They needed to make sure that the military, they could wash people out of the military that are from red states. This is my theory.
Starting point is 00:55:40 They don't have any, no evidence of this other than, you know, I just don't believe in this series of coincidence, you know, it's much easier to explain. explain if somebody was sitting back and watching and planning all of this. They've done too much too fast for this just to be happenstance. So they come in. We have the January 6th deal. And what do they do? The FBI comes out with a report saying,
Starting point is 00:56:09 this is the biggest concern we have. Really? Not Antifa. But that collection of people, really? the military is now suspect. And it's pretty much everyone who voted Republican is an extremist. You're a white supremacist, Christian extremist. Well, that's demonizing half the country.
Starting point is 00:56:37 How? Why would you do that? Well, then you have a shooting. You have a crazy guy who shoots up the salon, and what do they say? it's a right wing extremist when he wasn't a he was nuts second of all he even said no this had to do with with sex addiction okay but it didn't matter why the narrative that was important to them at this time was that you were convinced and not you because you're the target that half the country is convinced that those people who live in the crazy red states are just that. They're racist and they're crazy and they're afraid they're going to lose their power and
Starting point is 00:57:26 they are all gun nuts and they're going to shoot us all up. When this guy comes out and he's Syrian and a Muslim, what do they do? They immediately pivot to don't pay attention to the guy, pay attention to the gun, which they didn't do last week. Because they haven't cemented in the left's mind entirely that everybody who votes differently is a terrorist. So they have to paint everyone who is against HR1, against open borders. They have to paint these people as crazy and dangerous. That was going to take some time.
Starting point is 00:58:14 They've been thrown off their game. I don't think they were planning on hitting guns. this soon. First year, absolutely. When the time came, you bet. But I don't think they were done focusing America on how bad things are, these right-wing extremists. That's how they needed to paint us to silence us and also paint us to get us to give up guns or go to war or be rounded up by, you know, sheriffs all around. around those people who won't give up guns. They need us to respond in
Starting point is 00:58:54 violent ways. And when we don't, they just make it up anyway. You mentioned something I think it was yesterday or the day before that this wasn't necessarily the event that puts this over the line. They still need a crystal clear cut like event.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Can you explain that? Yeah, they need a, Las Vegas. But they need a Las Vegas where the motive is clear. And it's, they need a January 6th. And everything they do fosters that kind of feeling in a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:59:34 They are taking away. They're operating as if they have a mandate. When they don't have a mandate, this is a clear election where you like moderate. You know what I mean? You come together. You work together. That's the way it would be.
Starting point is 00:59:49 They're operating as if this is a mandate. And then they're calling everyone who disagrees with them racist, but they've gone an extra step. A dangerous extremist. That's Patriot Act talk. Because I was reminded today that after Sandy Hook, you remember the push for gun control after Sandy Hook, the Democrats had 58 senators when they tried that and couldn't get it through.
Starting point is 01:00:17 58. But it doesn't matter. It's thrown them off the game, but it doesn't matter. Let me take a one minute break and come back. Remind me, it doesn't matter the timing with 58. All right. My Patriot Supply. My Patriot Supply differs from
Starting point is 01:00:33 a lot of the emergency food companies that are out there. Simple reason. They don't just freeze dry cardboard and send it your way and go, look, it looks like vegetables. Taste like cardboard. They actually care about the taste. They care about the quality and they care about the calories that you get. You've got to have 2,000 calories a day.
Starting point is 01:00:54 You know, if you're in a survival situation, you know, you're in a situation where the power goes out for a week and you don't have any food and it's cold in your house. You better have 2,000 calories a day for everybody in the home. Right now, my Patriot Supply has your food supply for an emergency. Right now, if you go and you use my name, Glenn, or you just go to prepare with glen.com, you'll save $50 off of a four-week food. supply that's breakfast lunch and dinner and it tastes good if you order before 3 p.m. this afternoon it will ship out today and be delivered discreetly to your front door prepare with glen.com that's prepare with glen dot com 10 seconds station ID so this is why they are saying
Starting point is 01:01:47 it doesn't matter that this isn't the one they just would have rather had another another shooting to build up it's going to take several because what they need need to say is enough is enough enough and uh they're they're just not there yet they're you know we're gearing up towards it and they're trying to pass other things first and i believe that they take away the filibuster or anything else you will have if i'm plotting for them i'm like you take away the filibuster you take away their voting you know and you totally change that and take it away from the states. And then you're spending money like crazy and you're giving it to certain groups and not to
Starting point is 01:02:36 white people. They're going to go crazy. They're going to go crazy. So the next thing will be able to get guns. I believe this is the storyline they're working on. Plant the seeds in the minds of the Americans, that half the country is crazy white extremist Hicks that have guns and are coming to get you. Then do everything you can.
Starting point is 01:02:58 to piss those people off. And then they will become, well, I think constitutional patriots, quite honestly. But they will start to stand up. If we stand up violently, they got us. But now is not the time. It will not pass this time, I think. It will not pass this time. And what will happen?
Starting point is 01:03:25 The next time they have it, dead ringer. and it's a big shooting and it's some, you know, right-wing guy or even just apolitical, but they can make him look like a right-wing extremist. They will, and they'll say, it's time. This is the Glendack program. There's such a line between constitutional patriots that stand up without violence. Yes, huge. People who stand up with violence, I mean, look what January 6th has done already.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I know. We lose if we stand up with violence. You lose. Let me tell you about Hustler turf. Hustler turf, you will cut the time of you mowing your lawn in half. It's a zero-turn lawnmower. Now, a lot of people now make zero-turn lawnmowers and everybody's like, wow, that's a zero-turn lawnmower.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah, no big deal to Hustler Turf. They're the people who invented it back in 1960. So they've been making them for these industrial lawnmowers for, you know, football fields and everything else. Now they're making them with the same kind of great. technology that they pioneered the same sturdiness that they have in their industrial lawnmowers, they now have it for you. It will cut the time of mowing your lawn in half. This thing is rock, solid, built to last, built in America. It's unlike any other mower, and I invite you test drive,
Starting point is 01:04:49 the best mower you can find. Then check out hustlerturf.com and test drive one at a local dealer. It's hustlerturf.com. and head over to blazedtiv.com slash glen the promo code is control you'll save 20% off your subscription to blaze tv this is the glenbeck program i have a feeling our next guest is going to have to be a podcast because there's a lot that he can share with us uh but i wanted to get him on the air right away he is general counsel at first liberty uh institute uh he is uh also an asian american and first generation, Asian American, and he is also Marine Corps vet. He is here to talk about the extremism in the armed forces or what they are saying is extremism.
Starting point is 01:05:48 There is extremism in the armed forces, but it is not what they say they are looking for. I think it's those who are looking for it myself. Michael Berry, welcome to the program. Thanks for having me. You bet. So let's start with something that I read from you yesterday, that Catholics are now being labeled as extremists. Yeah, it's not just Catholics. I mean, it's Catholics, evangelical Christians. And according to the Department of Defense, those who believe in individual liberties, states' rights, and making the world a better place, which I always thought that was sort of the reason why.
Starting point is 01:06:31 why many of us joined the military was to defend individual liberties and state's rights and to try to make the world a better place. So what is what is happening here, Michael? Well, I mean, this has been, I think, sort of a decay from within. And look, I want to be the first to say, and I said this yesterday at the House Armed Services Committee, if there are true extremists out there, and I define true extremism as anybody who uses or three, or advocates violence to achieve their, you know, their political agenda. Right. Then they have no place in our military.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Absolutely. Get rid of them. Right. But I also agree with our Secretary of Defense, the current Secretary of Defense, who happens to be the Black Secretary of Defense in America's history, who says 99.9% of our military are not extremists. Well, I happen to agree with that. So why are we on this, you know, this witch hunt for the 0.01%?
Starting point is 01:07:31 Well, I don't, I mean, it's what's so frustrating and curious about all of this is we couldn't define Muslim extremism. You couldn't say any of that. I mean, we'd have shooting on bases, and they would say it was workplace violence. When terrorists themselves would say, you know, I'm doing this for Allah, they still would say, no, no, no, because they were so afraid of, labeling people extremists because we're just too stupid to understand there's a difference between somebody who follows Islam and somebody who's an Islamist. And now they're just labeling pretty much everybody who didn't vote for Joe Biden as a dangerous extremist. Yeah, and the real concern you're going is that there are many very patriotic, fiercely loyal Americans serving in our military
Starting point is 01:08:30 who may have voted, who may not have voted for President Biden. And they're now, they're now fearful, right? Fearful for their careers, fearful for their reputations. And, you know, they don't feel free to speak out.
Starting point is 01:08:48 And I'm not saying speak out in, because, you know, in the military, when you're on active duty in uniform, you do give up some of those rights to speak out publicly on, on political matters. And that's fine.
Starting point is 01:08:59 You're part of the United States. States military. It's why we trust the military. Don't get involved in politics while you're in uniform. Exactly. But where it's gotten ridiculous is, you know, the latest anti-extremism stand-down training that the Secretary of Defense ordered everybody in the military to undergo. I myself have had to take the training. And it gets to the point where they say, well, people start asking, what are we allowed to do? You know, am I allowed to have a bumper sticker on my car that says who I voted for? And then, they said, well, you can have a small bumper sticker, but it can't be a large decal.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Okay. What? What does that mean? What does that mean? And in fact, an active duty, army, excuse me, an army JAG contacted me and said that he had been reprimanded because he simply made a post during his own personal time, not during duty hours, on Facebook. simply on January 7th, he made the post saying, it's sort of saying, oh my gosh, how did this
Starting point is 01:10:04 happen? How did these people get into the Capitol? And he has been punished now for drawing attention and highlighting what happened on January 6th. So he's now, you know, thinking, he, am I an extremist just because I'm simply expressing, you know, just shock. You know, I can't believe they got in the Capitol. Oh, you highlighted what happened, you know, off with your head. So is this, is this, what is the goal here? What is the goal that, that this movement is trying to accomplish? I mean, I think one of the goals is to, is to silence the opposition. And I know that sounds very, you know, doom and gloom, you know, the sky is falling. But, you know, I felt it myself. I was in law school, I knew that I was in the minority, and there's that subtle pressure to not
Starting point is 01:11:01 speak your mind and to say how you truly feel or what you truly believe about controversial issues. But I always felt like, well, okay, you know, when I get to, when I get into the Marine Corps, when I get on active duty, you know, we're the ones who protect the First Amendment. So surely we're not going to lose those freedoms ourselves. And it started with just sort of the subtle pressure and coercion, you know. Yeah, you know, of course you can, nobody's trying to take away your freedoms. You know, of course, and then when you ask, okay, so when you say you're not trying to take away my freedoms, what do you meet, you know, and obviously I focus on religious freedom at First Liberty Institute, and I said, what do you
Starting point is 01:11:36 mean by not take, oh, you can still go to church on Sunday? Okay, great. What about on Monday? Am I allowed to have a Bible on my desk? Well, somebody might see that and think that you're, you know, and it just begins the slippery slope. It begins the slippery slope. And at first Liberty Institute, we've had to defend multiple decorated military service members now who've had their careers threatened, all because they're just trying to live out their faith while they are in uniform. And, you know, you do give up a little bit of your expertise in uniform. You do not give up your religious freedom when you put on the uniform. Ever, ever, ever, ever. So Michael, have you talked to and do you have a good feel of the, of the, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:12:28 attitude of those who are enlisted and the real body of soldiers and the brass. Is there a disconnect? Is it running all the way through? What's happening on that front? I'm not entirely sure that the Department of Defense has a full grasp on sort of what the attitude of the force is right now. I think they're still trying to get their arms around that and determine, you know, what's the scope of the problem? If it's 0.01 percent, is that reflected by the morale of the force? Or is it, you know, is it really bad?
Starting point is 01:13:07 Is this something that everybody thinks is this major issue? Which I got to say, you know, what concerns me? is, you know, America has enemies who would love nothing more than to exploit these, you know, these rifts in the morale of our force. And that was one of the things I told the hearing yesterday, the committee, and they said, well, what should we do then, right? If we find out that there is some evidence, and maybe we don't know how widespread it is, but what can we do? And one of the suggestions I made was, look, let's go back to kind of the old days of why don't we wage our own information and propaganda campaign against extremists.
Starting point is 01:13:45 You know, why don't we paint them out to be the sort of the incompetent, you know, just like make fun of them almost, you know, paint them out to be these middle-aged guys living in their mom's basement playing video games and make it and present the military as a far more appealing option, the loyalty to our country, to your oath, to your unit, to your fellow service members. And that will also, I think, have the collateral benefit of sending a clear message to Americans' enemies. Our military is united.
Starting point is 01:14:19 It's strong. They're fiercely loyal. They're happy to make these sacrifices on behalf of our nation on behalf of our freedoms. Instead of highlighting, instead of, sort of like, say, it's telling our America's enemies, hey, we're really weak right now. We've got a lot of internal division. That's not the right message to be sending. And it's also not the right message to be sending to.
Starting point is 01:14:39 America's sons and daughters who might consider joining the military. If you are, if you look at the numbers, the numbers are in the military, the vast majority of those who volunteer are coming from red states. That doesn't mean that blue states don't volunteer, but, you know, it's much heavier from, you know, the people who grew up around guns and, you know, grew up in a patriotic family. that's not to disparage others, but that's generally speaking. Is that, first of all, correct? Yeah, that's just the data.
Starting point is 01:15:15 That's the data. And it's actually the most, the demographic most likely to join are those who self-identify as highly religious. That's pretty interesting, I think. So, I can't imagine being in the military and having the brass tell us that, you know, or even just kind of hint that you're probably an extremist. I don't think that's going to sit well. Do those people just not sign up and just the decay of the numbers happens or what? Well, it's actually a phenomenon that's been reported on, you know, in academic circles and it may be less so in the media for at least a decade now.
Starting point is 01:16:03 And that is the, sort of the, the, the, uh, talent exodus in the military, you know, that some of America's best, uh, officers and best, uh, senior enlisted are leaving and droves because, and there's a number of reasons, you know, they, they, they, they feel that there's better opportunities elsewhere. You know, they, they, they want to spend more time with their family, the deployment, you know, operational tempo, et cetera, et cetera, but make no mistake. I mean, part of the reason is also, uh, they feel that the military is not necessarily what it once was in terms of being an environment where they can thrive, where they feel welcome, where they feel that their background views,
Starting point is 01:16:46 et cetera. And you made this point at the very beginning, right? I mean, I am a first-generation Asian-American, and I explained this to the committee yesterday. I'm acutely aware that there was a time in our nation's history not so long ago when people of my ethnicity were viewed with suspicion that we were considered to be potentially disloyal to the country. And despite efforts to join the military, right, the storied 442nd regimental combat team, aka the Purple Heart Regiment, you know, despite those efforts to prove our worth through military service,
Starting point is 01:17:23 there's people who still think that if you are Asian, that you know, that you might be, you know, part of the enemy. And then obviously recent tragedies have sort of brought that back to light again, that people, you know, for whatever reason, still consider Asians to be problematic in this country. But let me go back. Let me go back to the actual rounding up, the exclusion order. The Defense Department, geez, I've only got a minute here. The Defense Department was actually against it. The brass was against it.
Starting point is 01:17:59 That came from the political class in FDR. And even though they did the studies and they came back and said, there's not a problem there, FDR used December 7th to make it happen. And the military went and violated all of those rights. We're supposed to learn from that. That was exactly my point is that if we don't learn from that history, we might be doomed to repeat it.
Starting point is 01:18:25 And that would be a tragedy for our country and for our country, our Constitution. Michael, thank you so much. Love to have you do a podcast. There's a lot to talk about.

Starting point is 01:20:05 Hello, Rose. Hi, how are you? I'm very good. What's up? Well, actually, he told me to get straight to the point, so I'm going to get straight to the point. Okay. I just wanted to say thank you so much for actually doing a real interview with Governor Nome and listening to her answers and asking more questions and then following it up with the interview yesterday with the lawyer who took the bill apart. Wow.
Starting point is 01:20:33 So you're the one that liked that. I did. I was so disappointed in the interview that Tucker did with her, where he was cutting rough. He already had his mind made up. Yeah. And everything I've read yesterday, Steve, Todd, Dan, Dinesh, all of them are just jumping on her. And it's like, how hard would it be for you to actually talk to her? Well, I know her.
Starting point is 01:21:01 and she's never been anything but honest to me. And I honestly, I went into that interview, friendly to her, obviously, but ready to turn and say, this is bull crap if I felt it was. But I just don't think it is. I think people are not giving her the benefit of the doubt that she deserves and also not even taking the time to understand
Starting point is 01:21:28 why she's saying what she's saying. So I appreciate it, Rose. Thank you so much. Well, thank you for all you do. You bet. By the way, if you find value in what we do, please become a member of Blaze TV so we can keep our relationship going

Starting point is 01:23:39 Al Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban, is it Russia? No, apparently it's the conservative news outlet the rebel Rebel media you will not believe what is happening
Starting point is 01:24:01 and what Justin Trudeau has done with Rebel News Rebel News.com, run by a good friend of the program, Ezra Levant. He's with us. This is not a Canadian story. The U.S. military, for some reason, looked in to RebelNews.com. He got all of the paperwork. He was tipped off by this.
Starting point is 01:24:29 It's an incredible story. If our government is helping Canada do that, what are they doing? with us. Who's next? We'll tell you this story with Ezra in 60 seconds. It's an amazing story. I want to tell you another great story. It's a story of gold bars.
Starting point is 01:24:59 Can you imagine a century, a whole bunch of gold bars were sitting off the coast of North Carolina at the bottom of the ocean and the SS Central America. 7,200 feet. They've been searched for for 100 years. They were just found. And Goldline has now acquired the rights to sell them directly to their best clients. It is, I'm telling you, it is a fantastic, it is a fantastic investment. They just loaned one to me so I could show it to you.
Starting point is 01:25:38 The reason why this is such a great investment is it's a piece of history. not only is it the heaviest stew how many pounds is one hundred and forty four point two five ounces um it not only is this thing you know solid gold it's a gold bar but it's a massive piece of history can't confiscate history uh and you can get it now at gold line i mean it's worth a lot uh but if you want this piece of history you can get them for a limited time at goldline.com. They also have everything that's right for your family. You know, maybe you're not like,
Starting point is 01:26:18 I don't know, I'm into the market for an old gold bar right now. Hyperinflation is coming. It is coming. Please protect yourself with something that, you know, sat on the bottom of the ocean and is now worth, well, it was worth 2,641, $2,000 when they first made this. It's now worth over $300,000.
Starting point is 01:26:47 Wow. Goldline. Goldline.com. Call them right now. They're waiting for your call. If you're interested in the gold bar or if you're just interested in something normal, you know, maybe you can move some things with your 401K.

You'll understand more in the next couple of days as we expose some of the stuff that's going on. 866 Goldline, 1866 Goldline or Goldline.com. Rebel News.com. Very controversial up in Canada because Canada is a socialist country and they don't really
Starting point is 01:27:29 have, they don't have the rights that we have here. And Rebel News is kind of like the Blaze, the Canadian version of the Blaze, I consider a sister organizations. And it's run by Ezra Levant, and he is a brilliant Ezra, you were a lawyer, right, by trade?
Starting point is 01:27:53 Yeah, I was, but I did dabble in politics. But I think journalism, as they say, is upstream from politics. Culture is upstream from politics. And politicians can only do what they could do in the environment.
Starting point is 01:28:08 and, you know, we have to help shape that environment, help people think things through. I don't think we're that radical. I mean, in the United States, it's called moderate conservatives. Correct. I mean, we're sympathetic to Trump. We're skeptical of the Democrats, but look, we're Canadian. We've got that sensibility. Right.
Starting point is 01:28:27 I was shocked, Glenn. When out of the blue, I get this tip from Arkansas. That's pretty far away from Canada. And it was the strangest thing. I almost didn't believe it. We follow the tip and we discovered through Freedom of Information documents. The U.S. Navy, the United States Navy, had hired a defense contractor in Little Rock, Arkansas, to work up what they call the cyber forensic analysis of my little news company.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Now, I happen to love the U.S. Navy. I think it's a great force for freedom. and I mean, I'm no expert, but I think it's the big threat is the Chinese TLA Navy, People's Liberation. They got their fourth aircraft carrier now. I mean, sure, the U.S. Navy, you know, might have some problems with China, but we're talking rebel news.com. I don't even have a canoe, my friend. Like, I am the least nautical person. I'm from a landlocked place called Alberta.
Starting point is 01:29:32 It's like I'm from Nebraska. There's no boats where I'm sorry. I saw the evidence. I saw the report for the U.S. Navy on you. And the paperwork is astonishing because they don't have anything right. And they are truly painting you as a danger. Yeah. And I didn't understand.
Starting point is 01:29:59 I've had no interactions in my life with the U.S. Navy. I've never been to Arkansas, although I'd like to. It looks very pretty. So what are they doing going after me? And it made me think, well, remember how the British intelligence sort of did some of the heavy lifting against the Trump campaign? They did some spying in those early days. And I thought, so I thought, well, maybe there's a Canadian angle. And sure enough, this same defense contractor at the University of Arkansas and Little Rock sold the same dossier.
Starting point is 01:30:33 if I could use that word, to the Canadian Armed Forces Special Operations Command. So again, Canada has some challenges. I don't think we're a military challenge. I'm a Canadian citizen. We follow the law. I mean, we're, but I think you're right. We are sort of in the same part of the spectrum of the blaze. I don't even know if this is legal.
Starting point is 01:30:55 It's probably legal for the U.S. Navy to spy on me because I'm not an American. Although it seems weird to me that I'm their big enemy. I don't know if it's legal for Justin Trudeau to have his army spy on me. That probably isn't right. But it makes me think, okay, I discovered this almost by accident. I did some access to information requests and freedom of information requests. I got some more. The University of Arkansas is defense contractor.
Starting point is 01:31:22 They're stonewalling. They don't want to show us mission or their mandate. What was the back? How did this even happen that a target of the U.S. Navy? I'm really, really curious how that was set in motion. It doesn't make any sense at all. The two things I could think of is, is the Canadian, somebody in the Canadian military or Justin Trudeau's office or whatever, are they getting favors done for them by our military? and in exchange, are they investigating people like us in Canada and can share the information here in the United States?
Starting point is 01:32:19 But it's not, it's disturbing because it is not even accurate information. Explain some of the inaccuracies here because it's pretty significant. I heard the joke that's on jumbo shrimp or military intelligence. I never liked that joke about military intelligence. because I thought, no, military intelligence, those are the smart guys who, you know, crack the codes and counterterrorism. If this is the state of U.S. military intelligence,
Starting point is 01:32:54 you guys are in trouble because, I mean, first of all, they say we're a U.S. operation. No, we're not. We love America. We talk about America, but we're based up here in Canada. They say that, you know, sometimes we have what are called microsites or vanity sites. So, for example, we have a civil liberties campaign.
Starting point is 01:33:14 We talked about this the other day called FightTheFines.com. So if anyone gets a lockdown ticket, we crowdfund a civil liberties lawyer. So we just, instead of me saying, hey, go to Rebel News.com slash fight underscore the, like, instead of remembering, I just remember fight defines. So we have a bunch of these, I call them vanity sites, but they're just forwarding to different pages on our website. So I don't have to remember 100 different URL. That's all they are. name is on everyone. And you do, it's like when you come out with a news story and like this, it's, you know, Canadian, U.S. Navy spies or whatever it would be. So it's easy for people to find it,
Starting point is 01:33:57 and it would all be directing back to rebel, rebel news.com. It would be part of that. Yeah, it's totally normal. Governments do it too, by the way. So for example, in the story we're talking about, I took all the things. spy stuff we got, and I put it on a page, and I gave it a nickname, really, Stopspying on us.com, just so I can remember it for radio interviews. So if you were to go to Stop Spying On Us.com, it'll actually forward you to a Rebel News story about this case, and you can see all these documents for yourself, and you can make your own judgment.
Starting point is 01:34:33 So what, and the reason I tell you that is because this defense contractor said, no, no, no, by using vanity URLs. These are deep fakes designed to deceive people. And the craziest thing is they said one of our goals is to get people to vote for Canada's socialist party. There's a guy named
Starting point is 01:34:59 Jack Bete Singh who runs our socialist party up here. We disagree with him strenuously. I mean, he's a nice guy personally, but he's like he is far left. He's like Bernie Sanders. Yeah. Exactly. He's like the Bernie Sanders of Canada. The theory that the U.S. Navy's defense contractor cooked up was at Rebel News. And I've been conservative my whole life since I was a boy, I mean, right?
Starting point is 01:35:22 ...was to meddle in the Canadian election to get people to vote socialist. And I'm just thinking, do, have they ever watched a single one of my... That would be like saying, Glenn Beck's secret agenda is to get Bernie Sanders into the White House. They're turned on the show. But I was thinking, why would they write such kooky stuff? Why would they say we're American, not Canadian? Why would they say that our vanity URLs, which is really a big nothing, are a deep fake? They use that word deep.
Starting point is 01:35:54 We don't have deep fake. Those are those forgery videos that look like Tom Cruise. I mean, they're spooky. We don't do that. I don't know how to do that. So we do. And why would they say we're trying to meddle in the election to get the socialist elected? And I have a theory that they're trying to say rebellus is like one of those Russian troll farms or something.
Starting point is 01:36:14 So they can use some national security rationale to sweep us off the internet, or even just to go to YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and say, guys, you've got a Russian troll farm. They're meddling in the election. They're deep fakes, American-based. They're trying to interfere. You've got to shut them down. So I think it wasn't actually real spying because it takes five minutes to know we're in Canada. It takes five minutes to know we don't like the socialist candidate. I think they were trying to cook up some dossier that they could use to get us knocked off the Internet.
Starting point is 01:36:49 I don't find that stretch of imagination. I don't know why this has happened, but I think it's interesting that it happened in the United States and apparently commissioned by the U.S. Navy, that doesn't make any sense at all. You know, I want to continue talking because I said there were two things that, I thought might be going on. And I want to give you the second theory and get your thoughts on it in just a second. Stand by. One minute.
Starting point is 01:37:24 Back with Ezra-Leban. Rectack tech is just the greatest grill you will ever have. It really is. It's a smoker. It's a grill. It's an oven. You can bake in this thing. And I have not.
Starting point is 01:37:42 burnt anything since I've had the the rec tech I mean and I burn everything honestly I go out and I get a good steak and I'm riddled with ADD so I'll see a squirrel and then the next thing I know just stakes are on fire I haven't I've had good stakes since I've had a rec tech don't have that problem don't have that problem rec tech is unbelievable for whatever you want to do an outdoor cooking and it's so simple because it has it's it's very high tech uh it has uh smart grill technology so you don't even have to be around it uh you can run it all from your phone visit rec tech r c teqqccccccccc dot com that's rectech dot com 10 second station id so ezra um you know one of the things that one of our presidents uh that i know you know uh Eisenhower spoke of
Starting point is 01:38:51 about in his farewell address was everybody everybody remembers in America that he was warning about the vast military industrial complex. But what the warning was, it was not just about how these people are going to be now in bed with government and huge dollars are going to be there. He also talked about research and science and educational units, you know, or colleges. And he warned that when you have this kind of money at stake, that people will come up with things, not because they're curious, but because the government wants it. And I'm wondering if this isn't a clear right way, or I mean, uh, uh, uh, uh, military industrial complex kind of action coming true is somebody wanting this information
Starting point is 01:39:51 in Canada and they're doing favors and we're doing favors and they've hired a company that they know will give them the answer that they're looking for. Yeah, and you make a good point to, you know, I found it odd that the University of Arkansas and Little Rock was involved. I mean, aren't you supposed to be teaching kids?
Starting point is 01:40:14 You know, what you're doing? But this is exactly what Eisenhower warned of. Yeah. And part of me thought, like I mentioned before, how they got so many facts so wrong, and they were so crazy in their language. These are deep fakes. And I thought to myself, maybe they're just trying to create a demand for more studies that they get paid for. I have no idea how much they were paid if it was 10 grand or 100 grand or, he knows.
Starting point is 01:40:44 Our tax dollars went to pay for it. Well, the U.S. Navy is a huge budget. I think it's $161 billion. So there's a lot of, you know, an entire building. Yeah. And so this little defense contractor in Little Rock, and I've left him a message, by the way, I've asked them some questions. I called up the spy master of the U.S. Navy because her phone numbers on one of these documents.
Starting point is 01:41:08 I just left her message. And I sent her an email. And I mean, listen, I just want to talk. And frankly, they can ask me questions. They can ask me if I'm a Canadian. They can ask me if I'm trying to create a revolution or something. Like you would think, talk, if you're spying on a guy and he wants to talk to you, talk to him. No, they're hiding from me.
Starting point is 01:41:28 I think that there's a chance that this is just a money-making, self-perpetuating, you know, empire-building thing. And so if you use lots of scary words, admirals, maybe, you know, the most they do on the internet is look at photos of their grandkids on Facebook. Maybe they're bamboozling. I'm just guessing here. And so that the money keeps flowing.
Starting point is 01:42:00 It's just a theory because, I mean, I see three theories. One is we're conservative. So smash us. Favor for the Canadian government, because maybe if the U.S. government spies on us, it's not illegal, whereas if the Canadian government spied on their own citizens, it is. But there's also that military industrial complex, just self-perpetuating. you know, busy work, a budget. None, if I was the Chinese Navy, I would be laughing so hard at this.
Starting point is 01:42:31 They're building their fourth aircraft carrier. They're going deeper and deeper into the Blue Sea. I am scared of the Chinese Navy. That's not me being dramatic. That is the rising military power. And I would just wish the U.S. Navy, which I admire, would stop focusing on my little website. I would focus on the bad guy. I will, I'll have our producer.
Starting point is 01:42:53 look into this as well. Have you called the University of Arkansas Little Rock? Yeah, well, I mean, I actually hired a lawyer because you need some standing in Arkansas to do a freedom of information request. And I'm not from Arkansas. So we hired a local law firm, and they've gone back and forth about 10 times. And the University of Arkansas is stonewalling, and I think they don't want to hand over the defense contract. They don't want to show who commission this. We have some of the emails back and forth from the University of Arkansas Little Rock. Somebody neat, is it Knitten? Nitten.
Starting point is 01:43:37 Yeah, Nitton Agrawal. He's the boss of this little defense contractor, their staff of the university, and they take defense contracts, which is exactly what Eisenhower talked about. Yeah, it is. And basically, he took a contract from the U.S. Navy us and then he seems to have sold the same work a second time to the Canadian government. I've put in access to information requests in about six different places.
Starting point is 01:44:03 I think we're going to have to go to court in Arkansas because they don't want to give it up. Well, I wonder if we can help you because this involves our tax dollars and we should be able to get a Freedom of Information Act because we're American citizens on this one. we're going to look into this one, Ezra, and anything further that you have on it, let us know, because if they're doing it to you, who's doing it to us? It's really dangerous. All right.
Starting point is 01:44:38 Would you pay more for something that you could get at a reasonable price? A restaurant is charging $10 for a cheeseburger. Are you going to go in an offer to pay $100? Especially if there's a cheeseburger store right next to it, and it's exactly the same. And they're charging you five. Are you going to go there and pay 10?
Starting point is 01:44:59 No. Why would you? This is what we're doing when we don't switch to Patriot Mobile. You're with one of the big sell companies. You're paying way too much every single month, way too much. You're also getting a group, especially if you're with Verizon, that is supporting financially. And in a way, it's your money. because you're paying them.
Starting point is 01:45:24 They're taking some of their profits, which they have a right to do. But they're giving it to places like Planned Parenthood. I don't want those values. I don't want to pay more for the same great service because they're on the same cell towers. And I certainly don't want to give my money to people who are fighting against my principles. Switch now, Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. That's patriotmobile.com slash Beck. And go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.
Starting point is 01:45:51 The promo code is Control. You get all the access to our gun coverage last night. The battle's coming. You've got to make sure we understand what the rules are. This is the Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to you a little bit here about your dollar. I don't know if people really understand what is happening right now with the dollar, but we are printing unbelievable amounts of cash.
Starting point is 01:46:25 It will take an interest rate, beyond your wildest imagination. Remember, we pulled all this money back. Nothing close to this. We pulled money back back in the 1980s with Ronald Reagan. And it almost broke the back of the economy. Remember, we were having interest rates at 20%. So that stops the heart, really, of all construction and everything that you need an economy, you know, working at. We now have so much money out there that I can't even guess what the interest rate would have to be to be able to pull all of that money back and burn it or, you know, de-legitimize it, you know, erase it from the digital records.
Starting point is 01:47:15 We are on pace now to do 20% more than we printed last year. and last year was a massive record. And you're going to see things. The average household will likely pay 20% more for food than you do now in 12 months. More for fuel about 25% more. They think 25% more for medical costs in the next 12 months. that is going to be devastating. This is happening at a time where fully 40% of existing household income is derived 40% from the U.S. government.
Starting point is 01:48:07 That's not including the $1,400 stimulus payments that pushes Uncle Sam share of household income to 44%. also you're seeing the the huge increases that producers are incurring so the builders of houses construction costs have soared in the last six months lumber is up 90 percent that's an all-time high that's going to mean every home is going to be much more expensive especially if you're building. Suppressing new housing starts at a time when the housing market is already tight because of COVID-19, slowing new home construction during 2020. New home construction is expected to be 25% more expensive this year than it was in 2019. This pushes first-time homebuyers out of the market. The government's currency creation
Starting point is 01:49:16 comes at a time when supply chains are already dramatically disrupted because of COVID-19. And the more currency in the system. Remember, inflation is too much currency, too many dollars chasing too few goods. Because if you have lots of money out there with some people, well, they're just going to drive the price up because you don't have enough goods. we are pumping so much cash into the system right now that once people start to spend it, you could have hyperinflation quickly. 25% cost increase is not hyperinflation,
Starting point is 01:50:02 but imagine what that will do to the average household. And this is just one in a long series of things we're going to be facing coming out of the pandemic. Oh, yeah. I mean, we knew a lot of the spending was going to happen when they're closing down businesses, but we knew there would also be consequences of it. And we knew when we get to the other side of this, where we hopefully are now, we are going to have a lot of things to hold the line on.
Starting point is 01:50:28 I mean, just the money is probably the most obvious one. But if you think about this, Glenn, going back before the pandemic, if we would have said these things would happen in a year's time. No way. First of all, you'd think the Democrats probably had 80 senators. senators to pull it off. But this would have been, this is like our, the thing you've talked about for how long, about if this type of thing happens, this could swing out of control incredibly quickly.
Starting point is 01:50:54 And no one's put the genie back in the bottle again after this has been attempted. No, never, never. And this is the biggest anybody's ever done. We've printed more money now than anyone in the history of the world. It can be close. No, it's not. It's not. Okay.
Starting point is 01:51:10 So you help me out on this. Stu. We're looking at 20% increases for food and housing and everything else, okay, in the next, in the next year. Plus, on average, they say now on average that you will have about 10% less purchasing power because your dollar, and this is a low estimate. I've seen 15% as the number. This one is conservative, I guess, and saying the dollar is only going to lose $1,000. 10% value this year. So what does that mean? If it's up 20%, isn't it actually up 30% because you have 10% less purchasing power?
Starting point is 01:51:54 Well, I would assume what they're saying there is that while the prices might go up 20%, your dollar. They're going to believe, though, that like, for example, your interest rates of the money that you have in the bank are also going to go up. Likely, the money being spent, for example, in your investments will cause a stock market increase or other investments to go up. So you'll probably claw some of that back. So my guess is it's not going up from there.
Starting point is 01:52:20 It's going to trim that top line cost from the average person. But still, it's not good. That's not good. That's dramatic. In one year, a dollar will be worth 90 cents. And then when you don't have, when you're spending the same amount of money on less things, that kills the economy. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:52:41 Oh, yeah. You're not going to be able to afford those extra, you know, vacation days or the extra dinners out or... Or think of this. If you are saving for retirement, if in the next 12 months your dollar is worth 90 cents, it means your investments. However you have them invested needs to make at least 10% just to have the same amount of money. Yeah. And factor in that, yes, maybe interest rates will go out. up and it will help people that have money in the bank.
Starting point is 01:53:14 But then step back and realize that a lot of people don't, right? I mean, a lot of people have been out of work. A lot of people are on the edge as it is. So those people aren't going to benefit at all from higher interest rates. They're only going to pay the payment for them. They're only going to have the pain involved. And so those people are, what's going to happen with them? Well, the government is going to have to say, as you see with a Biden $4 trillion spending
Starting point is 01:53:40 package around the corner. They're going to have to say we need to bail these people out. And so we end, you know, we go into this cycle again. And this is how it continues to cycle into something that could be potentially out of control hyperinflation. So the other thing is you're hearing that there's no inflation. But the inflation index, it was originally assembled in 1980, before cell phones, before the internet, anything else.
Starting point is 01:54:07 Now it's been updated in 2017. However, what's generally speaking in the basket of things that they monitor for inflation, household groceries, fuel and gasoline, rent and mortgage costs. But here's what's not included. Educational costs, including college, credit card and revolving debt costs, entertainment, internet, streaming services, mobile phone costs, mobile phone services, recreational travel, non-eastern travel, non-examined, household grocery food costs. So in other words, every time you call Uber, it's not counted. Medical health care is also not counted. The government says that inflation is at 1.81%.
Starting point is 01:54:59 Uh-huh. They're saying that this year's inflation is estimated to go up to 2.24%. But if you take into consideration and you count things that we've always counted or that category, we are looking currently at an inflation rate of about 10%. Now, if all that sounds like bad news, wait, there's more. What Americans should be most concerned about when you look at the overall economy is that 2020, COVID-19, wiped out 20% of total U.S. household income. that number is higher if you include debt increases to cover expenses.
Starting point is 01:55:49 But we're facing double digit inflation on the horizon. That creates an income adjusted true cost of living index that is, without using shadow stats, double digit loss of purchasing power just in the next 12 months. And it's not like this is solved in 12 months. No, it's going to be worse in 12. Remember what everybody said, oh, I can't. wait until 2020 is over. And I kept saying, no, no, no, you won't, you won't recognize your country by the end of 2021. The same thing. This is the time to get your financial house in order because 2022 is going to be
Starting point is 01:56:32 much worse than 2021. I hate bringing that news to you. I am so sorry. I really am. I just hate it. But you'll be able to go out to restaurants. Yeah. So everything will be fun. All right. Let me tell you about relief factor.

Get your life back. Try Relieffactor.com. 800, 5803.84. 800,
Starting point is 01:58:17 800, 5803.84. It's Relieffactor.com. This is the Glenn Beck program. I just, I have to play a little montage here of how students were introducing themselves to a representative Presley. Can we play this little montage?
Starting point is 01:58:43 So I'm a sophomore here at Mount Holyo College, and I'm majoring in politics and critical social thought. I am one of the community service coordinators for our Association of Pan African Unity on campus. My major is sociology with a minor in English, and I also have a focus in educational policy and practice. I've also been serving as a community-based learning mentor for the Cusp Learning Service and Social Action course. Okay. I'm also a social chair for the Association of Pan African Unity. Same. She her pronouns.
Starting point is 01:59:18 She her pronouns. And I'm in the class of 2021. She her pronouns. I also use she her pronouns. My name's Mariam. I use she her pronouns. I'm a psychology in African studies double major with a concentration in black feminism. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:59:34 We are in so much trouble. I have so many questions here. Okay. Now, I guess. What are your pronouns? pronouns. Him, her. Him, her, she, they, whatever.
Starting point is 01:59:45 So the concept of the pronouns thing, right, would be to say, right? You shouldn't assume I'm a woman because I'm clearly a woman. You shouldn't assume that, so I have to tell you that I'm she, her, right? That's the concept behind telling everyone, right? Like, we shouldn't assume it automatically, right? That's the concept. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 02:00:04 Is that, I mean this as an earnest, honest, honest question. And I don't know the answer. to it. Why do we have to say both ways? Is there a she, him? I, why would you say she, her? If it's she, we know her, right? Why, I, it, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, why, both, why do we need both can we not, are we conjugating verbs and, and, and, and pronouns for people? Why, why, why, why can't you just say, I use feminine she pronouns? Why, she her? Why, why? Why, why, why? Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, My pronoun is him. Right.
Starting point is 02:00:42 And I would know. No. His. And I would know. No. In all cases, I'm him. But no. But so if it's, but that would make sense in the language.
Starting point is 02:00:53 Well, that's the way I want it. It's just. That is a big part of it. Like, they is one of these pronouns that they use all the time. And they. I know. I know. So.
Starting point is 02:01:03 That's like, I have to, I can't, I have to talk to they. And it's like, well, wait a minute. That just is not English. Yes, it is. Right, and that's what they say. Like, because my, I feel like a they, which I guess means multiple. I thought that meant multiple people. I'm a hymn.
Starting point is 02:01:21 I'm always a him. Always. And spelled with a Y. H-Y-M? N. But not to be confused with that religious junk that you would find in that book. So you're a hymn? I'm a hymn.
Starting point is 02:01:34 Wow. I'm a him. A song. No. No. Oh my gosh. You are so racist. and so hello boomer.
Starting point is 02:01:42 Listen, can I ask a question? Yes. Isn't this the result of or an example of the thing that one generation tolerates, the next generation embraces? Isn't that really what we tolerated all this bull crap of PC. We tolerated it. And now it's being fully embraced. Now imagine what, well, a good thing is is they have no toleration for anything else. Imagine that generation, what they're tolerating.
Starting point is 02:02:20 Can you imagine what their kids are going to embrace? Oh my gosh. This is, it's crazy. But I think this is a full example of what one generation tolerates the next embraces. And it's getting spooky because they're, They're tolerating Antifa. They're tolerating violence against people who disagree with them. Wait until it's fully embraced.
