Yesterday, I had a fascinating hour conversation with Tucker Carlson. I don't know if you saw it. If you're a Blaze TV subscriber, you can watch it in its entirety now. Just go and look for the Glen Beck podcast, Tucker Carlson. Happened live yesterday. First interview he has done since going back to Russia. I think I might have pushed him. I mean, well, at one point he said, I'm really having a hard time not using the F word with you right now. But I think it was really important what we learned yesterday.
Starting point is 00:02:47 And we're going to go there in 60 seconds first. I met a lot of people who listen to this program that have lived in debilitating pain. Their stories are really heartbreaking. The people who have turned to relief factor have found themselves missing the ability to sit at home. and just lay around in pain. Yeah, that's right because they've started walking again, shooting a round of golf every now and then, playing with the grandkids on the floor.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Some have turned to medications. I did. It will make you foggy. I don't want to live that way. You just can't live that way. You need something natural. The more pharmaceuticals that we put into our body, the worse I think things get.
Starting point is 00:03:32 A daily supplement that is 100% natural is relief. factor and it was developed by doctors to relieve inflammation. It's the inflammation in our body that leads to most of our problems and most of our pain. See how relief factor can help you with a three-week quick start kit. It's 1995.

When you feel the difference, you know it works. So yesterday, I think it was an important day for those who are fighting for the republic. I have often told you you need to know who is standing by your side.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And most people know that my former Fox News colleague Tucker Carlson went to Russia to interview Putin, something that everyone, every journalist would love to do. But nobody can get an interview. But he did. aha, why did he get the interview? I think it's because he's pro-Budin. The media and the left, as well as the Lindsay Grams of the world, gave birth to a whole litter of kittens when it happened. But those who know and have gone to really get to know, Tucker,
Starting point is 00:04:59 and have grown to trust him as a defender of American ideas and ideals, began to question some of the things that happened while he was there. Now, I didn't question him, but it left a, I don't know, a lingering doubt. Okay? The things that he talked about with the grocery stores and the subways, they're clean and nice. Yeah, I got it. Now, people pointed to that and said, that's proof Tucker not only loves Putin, but he wants an authoritarian state here so we can have.
Starting point is 00:05:35 have clean subways. Is that what he was saying? I personally think he's too smart for that. He knows who Durante was. Durante was a New York Times reporter. He was a communist or at least a very big communist sympathizer who was working for the Times, went to cover Russia, and knowingly helped Stalin cover up the murder of about 8 million Ukrainians, little something called the Holodomor. He wrote lovingly about the clean streets and the subways and how this planned economy and planned state functioned with perfection and everybody loved it. Tucker knows history. He's no Durante. He loves his country.
Starting point is 00:06:22 So what gives? What was he saying? He's not on Putin's side at war or peace, but yet he doesn't seem to condemn him. What is he advocating? When he shows us the subways, is he telling us that we need, I don't know, to bring back law and order and we need a strong man to clean up the streets? Or does he believe the Declaration, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights is the way to fix our country? I found my answer. And while it's the latter, there's more.
Starting point is 00:06:57 So let's start with the shopping carts and the subways and the states. how great they were. Cut one. Let me now go to some of the criticism of you that, you know, John Stewart just did a piece. I don't know if you've seen it on you. But, yeah, I never watched them either. I know. So, you know, you went in, you said Moscow is clean. The subways are wonderful. Look at the chandeliers. Well, you know, I know you, Tucker. You're smart enough to know who built those to look like that.
Starting point is 00:07:31 and why? And Durante went over. I said it in the piece. So Walter Durante denied the existence. He was a New York Times correspondent in Russia in the 30s. He denied, of course, the Ukrainian famine, which was Stalin. That's exactly right. And he denied that the show trials of 1937, 38, that the terror was happening. So those were lies. Okay. He told lies. He told lies. and that's why his Pulitzer Prize was pulled from him posthumously. I told the truth in order to shame our leaders. That subway station I showed was built by Stalin in 1939. Joseph Stalin, probably the worst person in human history.
Starting point is 00:08:17 That was over 80 years ago and it's still in perfect shape. Okay, that's the point. Look at what Moscow has and compare it to what we have. So, but we have to ask yourself, like, no, this is, this is an indictment. of our leaders. And I would recommend every single one of your viewers and listeners, if you can, go spend a week in Moscow. Not because you love Russia,
Starting point is 00:08:41 but because you love your own country. And compare that city, the largest city in Europe, 13 million people, compare it to the city that you live in or the city near you, which is in better shape. So actually, it's an indictment, it's a radicalizing indictment
Starting point is 00:08:54 of our rapidly declining standard of living and the horrible mismanagement of our leaders. Why don't we have a subway like that in any American city? Wait, wait, wait. Wait. Wait, wait. I think of a single American city with no crime.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Like, what is this? So I went on to talk to him about this and I said, well, wait. I mean, that's because a dictator. There's no drug problem in China because you can just execute them on the spot. Right. So what are you saying? And again, he reiterated, I'm showing those things because I think Americans should be pissed off that this country, which we're told is on the brink of collapse, it's still together.
Starting point is 00:09:37 What's our excuse? Why is it not together here? And he was saying, I want to shame our politicians and wake the American people up, saying, we used to have clean streets. We didn't need a dictator. We did it because it was the right thing to do. And we didn't have leadership that was, leading us down this path of
Starting point is 00:10:01 more and more chaos and drugs and crime and decay. So did you get the sense? Because the reason Russia has that and has been able to maintain it for 80 years, right? Is because they have certain policies they've implemented. You mentioned obviously the crime part of this, right? They are very, they're
Starting point is 00:10:19 difficult on people who break their rules. But also like another part of that policy is centralized government spending money on prioritizing spending on government institutions to make them pretty. Yes. And secondarily, making sure, focusing money on cities where foreigners come to visit, as opposed to rural areas where they let people. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:43 So he's not asking for those policies, obviously. So he believes we've already had that. He was saying, we had gleaming cities. We had beautiful cities. We still do. But he went in to talk about how now. Now you've got a gigantic homeless village in front of Union Station, which is one of the most beautiful train stations in the country. And it's right across the street from the Capitol.
Starting point is 00:11:10 He's like, that's not money. So that's, that's policy that is driving this. It's maybe even more than that priorities, right? Like, because we certainly, if we're building turtle tunnels, right, we certainly have the money to be able to maintain these buildings. we're choosing other priorities. Is that sort of his? His thing is we're not choosing, the people aren't choosing them. The government.
Starting point is 00:11:35 The government. The government and the, you know, whatever you call this ruling class, they are actively trying to destroy our cities and our country by saying don't enforce crime. Let drugs prevail. Let people out on bail that are violent. let them do whatever they want. Don't question. And so it's not necessarily a praising of Russia.
Starting point is 00:12:03 It's a criticism of our policies. Of not even our policies. Our politicians who are intentionally destroying our nation. He's like, it doesn't have to be this way. And we all know it. And we all have to get pissed off about it to stand up and say enough is enough. Okay. So I pushed him on this hard.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I mean, you listen to it. Yeah, pushed him hard on this because I wanted to know, I think it's important to be very clear on what we are advocating, because everybody will make you, we'll put words into your mouth. And it's important on some subjects because there are those who love America and love the Lord that are currently being called Christian nationalist and that's not who they are. but there are Christian nationalists that are advocating things, and it is important to understand, are you this or are you that? If you're looking to get the church directly involved in the state and the government to rule, then that is un-American. That's Christian nationalism.
Starting point is 00:13:15 However, if you believe our values come from the teachings of the Bible and you refuse to check those values at the door of your public office. Why? Why would you do that? Every day I walk through the door, I'm just as much Christian on the outside of this door as I am on the inside of this studio. I don't check my values.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Because it makes me who I am. I don't, I, you know, you just don't want some Christian tyrant as the CEO. I don't want him coming in here saying, you need to talk about Jesus some more. I don't want, that and I certainly don't want that in a government. The problem is the hour is growing late and we have to reconnect with the truth quickly and with what we learned as kids. Christ-like love,
Starting point is 00:14:10 forgiveness, and then the backbone to say, crucify me. I don't care. This is true. That's what that's what I think he is saying. That's what I'm saying. And I think that's what he's saying. Without a strong moral code of ethics and decency and fact-based truth, you have no civilization to fight for. That's clear. I want to give you one more question before the break. So I asked him, I pushed him and pushed him. And he said, I, you know, I'm really having a hard time not using the F word here. And I finally got to a place to where I think I understood what he was saying, but I just wanted to be clear. And if you happen to be watching The Blaze,
Starting point is 00:14:59 watch his reaction because it's 100% genuine. Watch. Where the sticking point is in America right now is there's a lot of people on the right and the left that are both saying, screw the Constitution. We need a radicalized leader. When you look at Orban, I think Orban is great for his country. That's not our system. I think, you know, the Moscow might be great,
Starting point is 00:15:27 love to visit. That's not our system. So I think, and I believe you are, you've already said this, but I want to make sure it's very clear on the record. The only path forward for America is through the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution. Correct? Of course. Of course. And by the way, I should just be very, very clear. If I was, I'm like the one person on the planet, you don't need to guess about my motives. I'll just say them. And if I was advocating for a different form of government or for authoritarianism, for a strong man, I would just say so. I would just say so. I would have no shame in saying that because I really believe that it's within my rights to say what I think. If I've been called a racist. If I was racist, I would just say it. But I'm not. And I'm not advocating for that. I'm advocating to return. to America of say 1993. How radical. Is that really radical? No, I don't think that's very radical. In fact, I think we should be demanding it.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And if there's one thing that I will fault Americans for, it's low expectations. You should not put up with this. You should not allow them. The governor of Texas should not allow millions of people to cross his border. And I don't want to hear the excuses. And I don't want to hear the excuses for why it's okay to have tens of thousands of people dying on the street or sleeping on the sidewalk in tents handed to them by the Episcopal Church. forever. Like, that's not acceptable. It's not okay for my kids to use drugs at the breakfast table. I'm
Starting point is 00:16:56 not going to have a debate about it. No is the answer. I'm within my rights as a father to say that. The U.S. government is within its statutory rights as a government to say that. We don't need more laws. We have the laws. They're not being enforced on purpose. And to your point, why? And of course, the reason is because people will lose faith in liberal democracy. And they will welcome a strong man. And that's exactly what this is about, is the left, and not just the left, I would say that the Quisling right on Capitol Hill, for whom I just have boundless contempt, they're in on this as well. People are just going to give up. They're not going to vote.
Starting point is 00:17:33 They're going to steal the elections just as they stole the last one, which they did. Sorry. And they're going to steal the next one. And people just be like, you know what, I don't even care. I just totally give up. This is crazy. Just get the bums off my street. Some guy just exposed himself to my daughter.
Starting point is 00:17:47 my nephew just died of a fentanylody, make it stop. Make it stop. You can have all the power you want. That is absolutely what they're going for. And I don't want that. I want to live in the country we lived in 1993 or 1985, not ancient history. Post-Civil Rights Act, we can do that. Let's do it right now.
Starting point is 00:18:03 That's my point. I don't think you could be any more clear on that. Now, let me follow up in 60 seconds. If you haven't taken a look at what my pillow has going on lately, you might want to just take a couple of minutes and check out their website.

So what is he, what was he saying there towards the end? What was he saying? He was saying it doesn't need to be this way.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And I'm tired of all of the excuses. And you're going to just get so frustrated that you're just going to say, whatever. Just whatever. The New York Times reported yesterday, I think it was, maybe the day before, in a story that I had in my daily show prep, but we never had a chance to talk about it, the frustration level of the emergency calls to the left that people who voted for Biden are finding themselves just tired. They're tired of, he's Hitler, he's Hitler, he's Hitler, he's Hitler. and everything being a crisis and an emergency, and they're worn out. Now, I think we've gone through this before. However, we've had some victories.
Starting point is 00:20:35 We also still really love our country, and most of us aren't willing just to sit back and watch it go away. They're tired. What happens when a community or a civilization is tired, and everything is a crisis? Which it's about to be. I'm going to show you this next hour. It'll blow your mind. What happens? Exactly what he said.
Starting point is 00:21:01 People just say, fine, just, I just make it stop. Make it stop. Somebody, make it stop. Wait a minute. If you ever watched my show when I was at Fox or you listen to me on the radio or you've been following me on Blaze, you know there's two strategies being employed right now.

By the way, Cloward and Piven said, you know, I'm just an old lady. Piven comes out, and she used to say to me all the time on Twitter, oh, I'm just an old lady. He's saying that I'm teaching all these crazy things. Well, guess who's back at the blackboard? Piven. What is she teaching? Overwhelmed the system

Starting point is 00:24:12 Get access to that Tucker Carlson interview. If you use the code free speech, you'll save 30%. This is the Glenn Beck program yesterday, and it's available now for Blaze TV subscribers in its entirety. Tucker Carlson and I had a conversation on the Glendbeck podcast. This week, it's Tucker Carlson. Just as he just came back, got off the plane, stepped into his studio and sat down with me and talked about Russia. It's a fascinating experience. And it was really interesting interview, especially because I left it like having a lot of my questions answered about what he was trying to do there. But also, I still have more questions and it was just engaging in that behalf. Different questions are the same questions?
Starting point is 00:25:11 Different, I think. Like, it opened up some other, because it's interesting to see the way he thinks. You had an interesting, maybe we can get into this at another point, but you had an interesting exchange with him about being able to capture the voice of the working class. This guy Tucker Carlson, who, as he admits, is the least working class guy of all time. He was born into money, lots of money, born into the press, born in. born into Washington, D.C. His father was part of, I think he was, I think he had some spy connections,
Starting point is 00:25:47 but he also, you know, ran an agency for a long time. So he is the elite. And yet somehow or another, he's defending the little guy. And I asked him about it and he said, no, I'm, no, I'm, I despise the elite. Yeah. Because I grew up around them. I know them. I know who they are. I know how how they think. And I despise them. Yeah. Well, he was like, it's not that I connect with the working man. I just despise the people I know.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Yes. It was that type of answer. It was interesting. I, a fascinating part of this that I think probably hit you out of nowhere as much as it hit me out of nowhere. It was this Boris Johnson thing. Boris Johnson wanted him to pay him a million dollars for an interview. This is wild. This just happened. I think he said, a day or two before. Yeah. No, yesterday.
Starting point is 00:26:41 He said, this just happened to me yesterday or today. So it was really breaking news. Listen to what he said. You know, Boris Johnson has come out against Tucker because Tucker has been saying, look, I have several sources that say you talked Ukraine into no peace deal and we went to war. And Boris Johnson is, you know, calling him names. Listen to what Tucker said. So I'm over in Moscow.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I'm waiting to do this interview. It gets out that we're doing it. And I'm immediately denounced by this guy called Boris Johnson, who was for a short time the prime minister of Great Britain. And Boris Johnson calls me a tool of the Kremlin or something. And I'm thinking, well, that's kind of, I mean, his name's not actually Boris. As I'm sure you know, his name is Alex Johnson. He called himself Boris in high school.
Starting point is 00:27:26 So the guy who calls himself Boris is accusing me. So I was annoyed. So I put in a request for an interview with Boris Johnson. I have many times because he's constantly denouncing me as a tool of the criminal. He says no. So I'm thinking about saying, I'm getting more annoyed. So I know a lot of people who know Boris Johnson. So I reach out to them.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Finally, one of his advisors gets back to me and says, he will talk to you, but it's going to cost you a million dollars. He wants a million dollars in U.S. dollars, gold or Bitcoin. No, this just happened yesterday or two days ago. And I'm like, he wants a million dollars. Yeah. And then he will talk to you about Ukraine. He will explain his position on Ukraine and explain what.
Starting point is 00:28:03 So he attacks me without explaining how I'm wrong, of course, or how he's right. This is, by the way, the guy who single-handedly at the request of the U.S. government stopped the peace deal in Ukraine a year and a half ago. And is, I think, for that reason, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He won't explain any of that to me in an interview until I pay him a million dollars. And I said to the guy, you know, I just interviewed Vladimir Putin. I'm not defending Putin, but Putin didn't ask for a million dollars. So you're telling me that Boris Johnson is a lot sleazier, a lot lower than Vladimir Putin. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Which is true. Yeah. So this whole thing is a freaking shakedown. Why $60 billion? I mean, I could get boring on this because I've learned a lot about it. But $60 billion is not going to allow Ukraine to prevail over Russia. No honest person thinks that's going to work. This is a money laundering operation.
Starting point is 00:28:57 A lot of the people involved in making money from it. And if you're making money off a war, you know, you can deal with God on that because that's really immoral. Like, that's actually really, really wrong. So a lot of people are including Boris Johnson. So the other thing that I brought up with him, and this is critical for you to understand, and all of this plays into tonight's broadcast with me on TV, you will really understand. if you start to put things together that seem unconnected, they're not. Almost everything that is happening right now on the global scale and in our country are connected.
Starting point is 00:29:37 It's not random. It's not random. It's not like, hey, they're doing striptease dances in the kindergarten with drag queens. That is connected to everything else that is going on. Okay. And so when he was trying to put this together, he ran into some trouble the first time. And he said, nobody seemed to care. Listen to Tucker talking about how the Putin interview actually happened.
Starting point is 00:30:10 You had a tough time. The first time you tried to interview Putin, the NSA was involved. Yeah, they read my time. text messages and leaked him to the New York Times. How do you know? And I'm not guessing by the. Okay. How do you know? Well, someone who worked there warned me through a very close, very close friend of mine. And I won't bore with the whole details, but I flipped to Washington.
Starting point is 00:30:35 The person in his request. I couldn't believe this. It scared me. I immediately called a U.S. senator. I don't know very many U.S. senators well, but there's one I thought seemed kind of trustworthy. So I said, I just want to get us on the record. This has happened. And then members of Congress went to NSA.
Starting point is 00:30:51 they admitted that they had read my email. And so I wasn't, and I went on TV and described the whole thing. And I thought there would be widespread out of it I am. I thought people would be like, outrage. You can't use a spy agency that we pay for whose job is to monitor our enemies, our rivals in other countries. You can't use that against the American population. And no one seemed to care.
Starting point is 00:31:15 But I cared because I grew up on the U.S. government. My dad ran a federal agency in Washington. And so I sort of knew what the rules were, and I had a really strong sense of how much this had changed. Like, this was not allowed 30 years ago. It was an outrage. It's a crime. But no one seems to be bothered by it. But I am bothered by it.
Starting point is 00:31:34 So I am too. And I think every citizen should be, especially journalists. You know, when you have freedom of speech, freedom of press, there's two rights that are going away here. And nobody seemed to care. But how, so then what happened? second time how did you arrange this well i i just kept trying you know i kept actually i did it myself uh with you know texting and i thought and i talked to a bunch of different people after that happened to me i i really tried to learn more about privacy and how can you communicate
Starting point is 00:32:10 outside the view of state actors governments um and you can't if you're doing electronically that is what i arrived at and i think any knowledgeable person would admit that there's no privacy, which itself is very distressing, but I just decided I would do it anyway. And I enlisted some non-Russians I knew who I thought might be able to vouch for me, et cetera. And it took a couple of years. And ultimately, they said, yes, we will do this. But if news of this interview gets out, we're canceling the interview. Wow. So I started to get so. This is the best part. I got calls, I got a call from a New York Times reporter and then a friend of mine got a call from another New York Times reporter asking when I was interviewing Putin. And there's no way they could have known that.
Starting point is 00:32:56 I didn't tell anybody. You know, my wife, my producers, not even my kids, I didn't tell anybody. One of my children was highly annoyed to learn I was in Moscow. Why didn't you tell me? I said, because I didn't want to text it, you know. But no, they clearly did it again. They leaked it to the New York Times in an effort to scuttle the internet. And I just, again, I hate to be, you know, Mr.
Starting point is 00:33:15 stubborn principal guy, but that is a principle worth defending. I'm an American citizen. I have committed to crime. I can speak to anyone I want. I can have any opinion I want. And you're not allowed to use your creepy spy agencies against me because I'm your boss. This is a democracy. Aren't you always telling me that? But again, nobody cares. So I'm going to stop the lecture on that. But it did motivate me to keep going. And but my real motivation was like, I just want to know what's happening there. We're in a war with Russia. We've never had a vote in Congress on whether we should be in a war with Russia. No one's ever explained to me why we should be at war with Russia, why I'm supposed to hate Russians. Why I'm supposed to hate Russians? We've got an awful lot of things going on here.
Starting point is 00:33:54 The country is in very tough shape, especially right now. It's completely out of money. We're bankrupt. And so it does seem like we should have more information before we send another $60 billion that we don't keep track of to Ukraine. I mean, that just I have very straightforward motives, which I've explained many times, but nothing crazy or out of the ordinary, esoteric or anything like that. Just like, like, what is this? Let's find out more. So when he was talking about the NSA actually hacking into his email and reading his text messages and his emails, no one really did seem to care. Not one. No mainstream media journalist jumped on a bandwagon and said, look, I disagree with everything he says, but
Starting point is 00:34:37 this has got to stop. Nobody did. Nobody. Now, these are the people that screamed and cried every time Trump said anything like, you know, maybe, maybe I shouldn't give you access to the White House. Okay, they screamed and cried. You can't do that. Technically, he actually can. It's the White House press credential, so he can do that. Is it right? No.
Starting point is 00:34:59 I didn't like it when he did it. But when it came to freedom of speech, he would be like, I maybe we close you down. He doesn't mean that. He is just beating his chest. That's not. He never attempted to do it. And the press went crazy. And they put this, you know, this declaration out there on the rights of the press and everything else.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I actually signed it. They didn't want me to sign it, but I signed it. I think it's important that journalists and people in the media actually stand for the rights of even the people we disagree with. otherwise freedom of press and freedom of speech means nothing. This is an American issue. This isn't a political issue. This isn't about Donald Trump or Joe Biden. I stand against either of them that try to do that.
Starting point is 00:35:56 But on the mere saying that I was going to do that, they went crazy. When they actually did it, remember, Biden did this. I mean, Obama did this with James Rosen. Remember that? They didn't care then either. Their beloved sanctity of the press, but as long as they disagree, they don't care. This is why you have to just disconnect from those people.
Starting point is 00:36:27 You just have to disconnect. If you don't care universally, then you don't care. I care about curing cancer. Well, not in that guy. Then you don't care about curing. cancer. I believe in freedom of speech. I mean, not for him and him or her. And I'm kind of iffy on that one because I'm not sure they agree with me. Then you don't believe in freedom of speech. There are things in life that are black and white. And that's what we have to fight for.
Starting point is 00:37:03 We have to fight for things, not against, fight four things. Freedom of speech, absolute. It's Absolutely. Freedom of the press. Absolutely. I don't care. If it's Diane Sawyer that wants to go over in Putin, she can go over and meet with Putin. If it's Tucker Carlson, he can do the same. Even if it's Durantey, he can do the same.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Even if he comes back and lies, he can do the same. It's my responsibility to do enough homework to go, that's a lie. That's what we tried to do with the Tucker Carlson interview. For anybody who had any question at all, I wanted to know the answer. And I think you got them. It's available right now on Blaze TV.

Starting point is 00:39:41 Vladimir Zelensky, the leader of Ukraine, war-torn, just received approval from his parliament to accept. extend martial law another 90 days. Now, they keep extending this. It's a wartime mandate, but this one carried out special significance because the 2024 presidential election in Ukraine was scheduled for March 31st. That's the end of his five-year term. But now that martial law is in place and it covers that time period, they've canceled the election. I thought that's what we were fighting for. Wouldn't that why we were helping? Because They have a democracy?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Yeah, well, I mean, you postpone the election. I mean, the war. Okay, all right. Well, let's look into this. November, a former Zelensky advisor announced that he's going to be challenging Zelensky for the presidency, and he was going to focus on a negotiated settlement to end the war with Russia. He was fiercely critical of Zelensky's approach in the conflict, maintaining the settlement was in the best interest of the Ukrainians. He's not a Moscow shill.
Starting point is 00:40:55 The government, Russian government, has an active arrest warrant out for this guy. Yet days after the announcement, Ukraine's national police force under the direction of the Zelensky government launched a criminal investigation against his opponent. Does this sound familiar? Furthermore, over the course of the devastating war, the Ukrainian government has continually centralized power. there's no trace of representative democracy existing in the country right now. They have only the approved media sites, all state media. Everybody else has been banned from the airwaves. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:35 This looks like a dictatorship. Let me talk to you again about Jace Medical, our sponsor for the Blaze TV.

Starting point is 00:44:30 I never thought that would be something I had to discuss or think about. Now, Sarah,
Starting point is 00:44:38 our board up, is from Philadelphia. And I just, want to check with you because maybe this is normal in Philadelphia. Let me show you what happened yesterday. Cut 15, Philadelphia. That is a horse galloping down the interstate 76. Just all by itself, no saddle, just a horse galloping down the
Starting point is 00:45:09 freeway. Is that a normal thing in Philadelphia? Sophia, Sarah? I wouldn't be surprised. Okay, all right. I've never seen that before. Have you ever seen that before? No, I drove down that road many times when we live there. No, never saw it.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I haven't seen that anywhere. I mean, I live in a place where, honest to God, there's a rancher who has a buffalo ranch, and Buffalo can just walk through, you know, the barbed wire. They just, it's on their face and they're like, I don't care. And they just keep walking. And once in a while, the town will have to call and say, your buffalo is in the middle of the street.
Starting point is 00:45:44 And they'll say, I know, well, he'll come back home. And that's how'd you do. So I understand that. I've never seen a horse galloping down the freeway before. Hello, something just isn't right. You know how many problems we face in this country. And they could all be solved overnight if we just use some common sense. You know, every now and then.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Just, you know, what I? You know, I don't know, because... No, that doesn't sound like a good idea. We shouldn't do that. Unfortunately, our government seems to love chaos, and that's why companies like My Patriot Supply are so important. My Patriot Supply has helped millions of American families prepare for whatever might come their way. And many of them start with a four-week emergency food kit.

I mean, honestly, if there's no food and horses are running down the highway, I mean, I don't think I'm going to get bored of the... I don't know. Didn't we just have this yesterday? Horses are running down the highway. Eat your freaking food and shut your mouth. Maybe that's just in my home.

I saw this last night, and I thought,
Starting point is 00:47:22 can you play it? There it is. Yeah. Now, that's somebody with their phone, outside of their window on the driver's side, just going, I can't. Am I seeing this? I have to film this,
Starting point is 00:47:37 because I don't think anybody's ever seen that before. Keeping up nicely with the traffic, though. Those are quick animals. Yeah, I mean, that was like, I think that was an expensive. Well, it was, I mean, it's that close to Philadelphia. You know, you don't keep one in a, you know, a walk-up, you know, apartment. You know. That would be a strange choice.
Starting point is 00:47:55 It would be a strange choice. So I would imagine that's. But again, you also don't keep it on the highway. So who knows what's going on? Right. Right. I mean, how did they find the on-ramp? You know, it's a horse.
Starting point is 00:48:05 How did he find the on-ramp? I don't know. There's a lot of questions on that one. but I don't think we're going to get to them. Now, let me show you some of the other things, and let's see if you can tie together what I'm driving at. There is a method to the madness on the things I'm going to show you. These are things I just saw last night.
Starting point is 00:48:28 This isn't like, yeah, well, I saw this a month ago and I've been safe. These are things that I spent 20 minutes just scrolling going, well, that one, That one. That one. Okay, so let's start with cut 12, please. All the New Yorkers in New York City. Please pay attention to what I'm about to say. I now this morning got a list from my controller to tell us the tax annual assessments and values. This happens every January or February. I got mine. Just on a few of our properties. Just a few of them. every single one of them are going up. Some of them are going up from 10 to 15%
Starting point is 00:49:12 all the way up to 60, 75%. You have no clue what this means to this industry. You have no clue what this means that every average New Yorker, everybody in New York City is affected. Because I have stores here, supermarkets here that they're going to go up $12,000, $14,000. I got $1,000.
Starting point is 00:49:35 I got small three family buildings in Red Hook going up $9,000, increase on top of the $30,000 I'm paying. That's crazy. That's crazy. Okay. So everybody's playing a lot more. That's weird. Cut 13. This is one about the hotels in New York.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Here is the Roe Hotel. This is one of the five hotels that has been transformed into a shelter. We're going to walk in there and see what kind of operation they're running. side. This is a really nice hotel. How's it going? Oh yeah, we were just checking out in the hotel. A hotel is closed. But there's a ton of people in here right now. Yeah, because it's a shelter. Oh, you guys. Not a hotel in. Shelter for the migrants coming in? Yeah, yeah. It's no longer all open to the public. How many floors is it? 30 floors. 30. Is it full? Yeah. You guys aren't allowed to talk about it?
Starting point is 00:50:36 Why is it like such a big secret, do you think? We just follow orders. When hotels such as the Roe Hotel close until further notice, they signed the contract with an outside source saying that they will pay the rent in order for them to house the migrants. And the hotels love it because it is guaranteed money every single night. And at a rate of $200 per night at the Roe Hotel, and with 1,331 rooms, that is $2,000 a day, $1.8 million a week, and $7.2 million a month. And all that money is getting.
Starting point is 00:51:07 $7.2 million a month for one hotel. One hotel. Who's writing that check again? And that kind of important? Who's writing that check? One month, $7.2 million. Oh, that makes me understand the other guy who's, who's writing that check? One month, $7.2 million. dollars. Oh, that makes me understand the other guy who's like, look at our assessment on our buildings. Bad a-abing! Up 75% tax. Bada-abing!
Starting point is 00:51:46 Okay. All right. So, can we just play the horse running down just because I need to... Oh, there he is, running out. Now let me show you, can we take cut six, please? Cut six.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Buffalo in some of those first ring suburban areas are having double-digit car thefts in a week, sometimes in a day. People are stealing cars at a record rate. There's no consequences, accountability, repercussions. Hmm. Hmm. And there's a problem. CNN says with homelessness. Cut seven, please. The number of people experiencing homelessness in a single night went up 12% in the United States in 2003. in part because COVID programs preventing evictions and housing losses came to an end.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Wow. A quarter of those people were unhoused for the first time in their lives. How many people fell into homelessness during COVID? Before COVID there were probably about 20 or 30,000 people. Now it's 46,000. Here is, I think this is Curtis Slewa, just standing. on 3rd Avenue, which when I lived in New York, you can't, you can't stand in the middle of the street. Here he's on 3rd Avenue.
Starting point is 00:53:11 This is something you'll never see in the middle of a day. Third Avenue in New York City. This is the future when everybody leaves and heads to Florida. They're on their way to Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Look, somebody back there. Because they've all fled the city and it will be a city only of criminal. homeless, emotionally disturbed in migrants. I am Nostradamus.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I see what's coming in 2024. Vast sea of emptiness. Well, that's good. That's good. So, let's see. We have too many migrants coming in. More migrants. The collection of migrants that have been added to our country in the last three and a half years
Starting point is 00:53:59 equal the population. of 38 states in America. Equal or above the population of 38. We only have 50 states. I just want you to know that. We only have 50. 38 of them are now smaller than the people we have let in. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I mean, I just, hmm, that's interesting. And then we have some really, real, I mean, we have some real problems. And I'm glad that we're dealing. What are we focused on? Go ahead. The woman who runs the bullying internet account, Libs of TikTok, was given a spot on the Oklahoma Library Board,
Starting point is 00:54:46 the statewide board. She is not from Oklahoma. Now, can I just stop for a second? This is a man in a dress who clearly has, I mean, maybe it's his first day with the makeup. You know, I don't. I don't. I don't.
Starting point is 00:55:02 I think it's a little, and you might want to show you. shave just a little bit. And the low-cut, you know, dress there is nice, but again, maybe you could shave just a little. Anyway, this guy is having a serious conversation
Starting point is 00:55:16 about what's acceptable in libraries. And people are just watching it going, well, he's making a good point. He's not how? Play the damn horse running down the damn. How about this one?
Starting point is 00:55:41 Cut 17. I'm so glad someone's finally asking this question. My problem is that I'm too hot, too successful in my career. I make too much money. I have too many amazing friends and family, too many cute clothes. Do you know how hard it is to choose an outfit each day? I also have so many amazing and hot people sliding into my DMs every day. I stop again.
Starting point is 00:56:04 It's a man with boobs. It's a woman with a beard. I don't. I have... I don't know. You've never had to deal with problems like that, that you're too hot, people always slip into your DMs. No. This person has to deal with that every day.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Every day. You know how hard it is to pick out a set of clothes every day? No, I have no idea. I wear the same clothes. I've been wearing them since the third grade. What the hell is wrong with you? I swear to you. I mean, this story makes more sense than any other story I've seen today.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Oh, wow. Look, a horse running down the highway in Philadelphia. when that becomes like, eh, that is the most sensible story we've talked about in this segment. It is. It is. Sometimes horses run down the highway. Now, I would just like to point out, and maybe I've been in a coma.
Starting point is 00:57:01 So I don't remember it, but sometimes you wouldn't remember a coma. And you're all being nice to me, and you're like, don't say anything to him. He's forgotten that he's been in a coma for 400 years, and we were in, I don't know, some cryo freezer. I don't know how this happened, but maybe I've been in a coma. But from where I'm sitting, none of this is normal. May we just all take a moment and go, none of this is normal. This is not the way a civilization behaves.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Am I alone on this? I don't, I mean... Apparently so. Apparently, yes. Apparently so. By the way, the horse is okay. The horse is okay. That would be the thing out of this monologue.
Starting point is 00:57:56 That is what somebody would... But what happened to the horse? I was... It's those damn cars and that's SUVs. I don't know what they're doing. They're killing the planet. Have you heard about the big umbrella that we want to put in space? Don't put big umbrellas in space.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Are you out of your minds? Man, I just... If I was in a coma... I want the doctors to know, put me back into the coma, please. Now, let's talk about relief factor sleep. Maybe I could take enough of those to go into a coma. I don't think so. It's all natural, so no, it won't do anything bad.
Starting point is 00:58:37 It'll just, you know, relax. Maybe I need some now. You will not feel it in your system. It's all natural, but just like regular relief factor, you take it. when you take relief factor for pain, it starts to work in your body and you don't feel it like a drug. It's the same thing with the sleep from relief factor sleep. You take it when you want to go to sleep and I'm telling you it, it relaxes you. You can actually shut your mind off from going, it was a horse in the street.
Starting point is 00:59:16 So unleash the power of great sleep because, boy, I needed it last night. Call 800 the number four relief. 800, the number four, relief or go to Relieffactor.com. Dream big and sleep tight. 10 seconds, station ID. Okay. Don't keep doing. Don't keep doing.
Starting point is 00:59:42 It's not good. The horse is okay with a bucket of water, Glenn. They got a nice bucket of water. Did they? I say they, because I don't know the gender of the horse. Now it makes me think you didn't actually look up what happened to the horse and so something tragic probably happened to the horse.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Literally immediately Googled it when you you played it and the horse is okay. Been captured is okay. It's back at home. Everything's fine until they decide to probably eat it in two weeks. Yeah, don't. Please do not. Well, it'll happen.
Starting point is 01:00:10 I mean, you'll be eating horse. Would you prefer horse or cricket? What's your, what's your protein of choice? I'd feel bad, but at least I don't want to squish horses under my foot. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:00:23 It's like, it's like I never have seen a horse and went, man, I'd like to stomp that to death. No. Never, never have. I hope not. Never have.
Starting point is 01:00:30 So it'll be harder for me to kill the horse than the cricket. But once I've seen, you know, you show me a good steak. Yes, it's from a horse. You don't need to tell me that. You don't need to tell me that. But if you scrape something off of my window and then toast it, you don't have to tell me that's a bug. And I'm not eating that.
Starting point is 01:00:55 So I go with a horse every time. Wow. Well, you know, it's weird? Again, never thought we'd have that conversation other than complete comedy. But who knows? Horses are running on the highway. That could be a... All right, Denver schools facing an unprecedented challenge with an influx of migrant students.
Starting point is 01:01:23 The district said they need an additional $837,000 to support additional needs across the system. Denver's public school system has been taking the hit with as many as 250 new students a week since the new year. Well, what are they going to do? Well, just pay the additional $837,000. Okay, Amazon, a New York City Amazon driver, said, the cops arrested me after I defended myself from a pervert migrant running at me, trying to steal my van. I'm the one that was arrested.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Just a reminder, this is not parody, and this is not normal. How about this one? Mail steals hundreds in cash. Now, my first thing is, I don't know how to define a male. What does that mean? Mail? It's spelled M-A-L-E, but that's an old-timey word.
Starting point is 01:02:33 What does that even mean? Well, this male stole hundreds in cash from Girl Scout Cookie Stan. We're talking about little girls here. I don't know what this story means because what's a little girl? And they're innocent. Why? Why are girls innocent little stealing cookies from little girls? Why is that bad?
Starting point is 01:03:01 And we don't know. It was just a male. Do we know how was he raised? Where was he raised? What problems did he have in his life? I mean, he might have been really hurting inside. He could have thought he was a giraffe. And nobody's going to say bad things about a giraffe
Starting point is 01:03:19 that takes some Girl Scout cookies. Who's going to say, that giraffe has got to be in jail? He felt he was a giraffe on the inside, waiting to come out. And then the police, they trap. And then handcuff, he needs all four feet. He's a giraffe. They handcuff him, they throw him in jail.
Starting point is 01:03:41 It's like a zoo for this poor giraffe. How about this one? I remember the days. I remember the days when I used to say back in the day two years ago. That someday our interest on our national debt will exceed our defense budget. Ha, ha, ho, ho, that'll never happen. Yeah, but if it does, what do we do?
Starting point is 01:04:13 Well, then we'll recognize how much trouble we're really in. Pressure is building on the House Speaker Johnson to hold a vote on the Senate past foreign aid bill that includes $61 billion for Ukraine. Interest on the U.S. national debt now is expected to exceed the entire defense budget of $822 billion for the fiscal year 2024 as Republican leaders in the House of Representatives way spending another $95
Starting point is 01:04:42 billion on foreign aid. Think of that. Our entire defense budget is $822 billion. We've sent over about $200 billion already to Ukraine. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Is that a good idea? NMLS-19-2334. NMLS Consumer Access.org. APR for the rates in the five starts at 6.275% for well-qualified buyers. Call 800906 2440 for details about credit costs and terms. All right, let me tell you about American financing. You know what doesn't happen in their office? Horses. Never in their office has a horse been typing at the time.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Not happen. Not happen. They're a little more common sense than that. They think even if you think you're a horse, maybe you shouldn't be here in making loans. They don't charge you any upfront fees. It's the exact opposite of Congress. They're like, hey, you know what? We're going to call it, we're going to call this the greatest loan ever given to anybody.
Starting point is 01:05:48 And then load it up with a bunch of crap that will cripple you. They don't do that. I know. Refreshing, isn't it? American financing, if you are trapped behind a mountain of debt, they can probably help you. They've helped so many people just in this audience save $826, what, $26, on average every month. American financing, 800906 2440, 89062440, Americanfinancing.net.
Starting point is 01:06:17 And it's blazedt.com slash glen. The code is free speech. You'll save 30%. It was a horse on the highway. Again, not normal. as are many things that I'm telling you about today, not something in America that we have seen. Well, the horse, maybe since I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:06:59 The highway system was first introduced. Maybe. Maybe. All right. So I was talking to you about the interest on the national debt. It is now going to exceed the entire defense. budget of $822 billion for fiscal year 2024. Now, I'd like to say something about this beyond. That's not normal and not good.
Starting point is 01:07:30 I think you get that. But I would just like to point out the entire defense budget is $822 billion. $822 billion. Now, you might say that's too much. You might be right. But you know, with that $822 billion, there's these, what are the F-22s or the F-24s or the F-something? I know F is in it. But, you know, there are amazing planes, amazing planes, doing things no plane has ever done before.
Starting point is 01:08:11 There are these things called aircraft carrier. They're enormous. A horse may not make it all the way from one end to the other. Okay, all right. That's what we get for 800. The largest, most powerful military in the history of man. Okay. So when we just gave out $6 trillion in the last, what did we get?
Starting point is 01:08:45 I'm just, did we? does anybody have a new plane? Do we have a new plane? Do we do? What do we have? What do we have? Besides absolute chaos on our streets. Inflation everywhere at the grocery store.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Your real wages going down by $1,000. What did we get? Can you give me something tangible? Even if it's just a waste, like, yeah, we built a, you know, we had the statue of liberty. We thought we could build a statue of slavery just to remind, you know, slavery's bad. We built it off the coast of Portland, not Maine. That would be crazy. Portland, Oregon. All right, show it to me. At least I'd say, wow, that's, I mean, I wouldn't have ever, but okay, can you show me the receipt? What did we get? Over six times.
Starting point is 01:09:51 the money that we spend at the Pentagon. That's a big building. I don't know if you've ever been in it or near it. It's hard to miss because it's enormous. Okay. Here's the new policy down on the border. Washington Examiner has just reported today. The Biden administration has secretly been slashing the number of illegal immigrants
Starting point is 01:10:21 who must post bond to enter in the United States. It's a new policy. and I'm quoting, a new policy called releasing everyone, end quote. I don't think that's a policy. I don't think that's just release everybody. You know what I mean? I don't think there's nothing like, you know how it's like, this bill will save babies bill?
Starting point is 01:10:53 And you're like, oh, well, I got to vote for that because who wants to not save babies? except half of Congress. So that wouldn't work. It's like give everybody free money and stuff. They call it that and you're like, you pass it. And it's the exact opposite. You know, they come in and they take all of your clothing. They take even the spoons out.
Starting point is 01:11:17 You're eating soup. And they just take the spoon out from your hand. This is all part of the Give People Free Stuff Act. This is the opposite. I think if their policy is, just release everybody, it would mean that everybody goes to jail. But for some strange reason, this policy is exactly what it sounds like. This I might point out is also not normal. So they're just releasing everyone, instead of detaining any illegal aliens,
Starting point is 01:11:57 The Biden administration is dismantling the detention and bonds programs by simply releasing every single illegal alien it can into the United States. That, you know, sure, lawlessness, chaos, drugs, terrorists, you know, child sex, rape, you know, maybe they become, maybe it becomes, you know, maybe we'll have a new state because they're going to be the biggest. state in the union. Maybe we could get that done. I can think of all like really great things that are going to come from this. Again, not normal. And how much is that going to cost us? Now this story, this story just in.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Looks like top U.S. trading partners, including, could you do the teletype behind me? Could you just do that? I want it to sound. You're wanting me to type? Is it, or you want an actual teletop? Do we have the... There we go. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:00 10-10 wins news. Give us, I don't know, five minutes and we'll use that five minutes. Here it is. Top U.S. trading partners, including the U.K., Germany and Japan, have recently entered recessions as inflation and high interest rates burdened businesses. While the U.S. is so far avoided recession, it could be dragged in to the economic turmoil as trade and international businesses decline. Wow, thank you 10-10 wins. Wow, so we're fine. May I ask you,
Starting point is 01:13:38 what causes the inflation in countries that can't print money? Hmm. What causes inflation? I mean, don't they have more gold in their vaults? Because our gold is inflation. too, which just means it's worth more, right? It's bigger. It's inflating. Why are they having these problems? Oh, it might be that the people they counted on being their gold standard, inflation doesn't, it doesn't mean it that way. When our dollar is inflating, that doesn't mean the gold that it's supposed to be replacing is also getting bigger. It's getting smaller. And so they have to make more of their dollars because it's in effect with our spending, we're sneaking in to their vaults and stealing their gold. But here's the great thing. We never have to be there. All we
Starting point is 01:14:44 have to do to steal that gold from them is just spend more money, you know, on some sort of a really, really important trans surgery scientific study that's going to involve every university ever We just do that, and they are going to love us for that. How about this one? The IRS announced yesterday, if you're expecting a return, it's going to be super big if you live in reversal world. Last year, the average person received $1,963 in their income tax return. This year, $1,395, which I don't, I'm not an expert at math. I, we should go to a scientist, a mathematician because I'm a layman, so what do I know?
Starting point is 01:15:42 But one of those numbers is bigger than the other. Now traffic and weather together on the 8th. There, in Philadelphia, there was a, horse on the highway. In other news today, Biden has pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanors and tax charges and felony gun charge during a hearing after a plea bargain announced June 20th collapsed. His attorneys, Abby Lolle, Abby Nourmal, and Christopher Mann claimed that a photo apparently
Starting point is 01:16:28 showing three lines of cocaine with Hunter Biden standing by it was not indeed cocaine. The attorneys for Mr. Biden said the prosecution is flat out wrong. Mr. Biden is standing what the prosecution says is three lines of cocaine. But we would like to point out
Starting point is 01:17:02 that that's actually a photo of sawdust from an expert carpenter showing that he kicked cocaine and so could the vice president's son. Horse! On a highway! We did this thing in Ken Burns style letters exchanged between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden
Starting point is 01:17:36 that we just released yesterday on YouTube, YouTube.com slash studios America. And it's just like them, these letters that went back and forth supposedly from Biden to Hunter. And in there, we actually make a joke about Joe Biden seeing the photos of Hunter and wondering why, as they were baking, they left all this flour out all over the place. And then they made that actual, like, legal argument in court.
Starting point is 01:18:03 You try to parody these things and you fail because life, because there's a horse on the highway. So now, what do we do about it? What do we do about it? Well, first, you have to stop looking at all of these stories as just one-offs. They're not. Yeah, I know. Sounds crazy. But they're not.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Tonight. Biden's own DOJ recently hinted that the president of the United States is too mentally incompetent to stand trial, but in some twisted sort of alternate reality, that doesn't make him too mentally incompetent to run the country. Okay. The Obama playbook, fundamental transformation, top down, bottom up, and inside out.
Starting point is 01:19:19 This plan was used by the Soviets to flip capital. Czechoslovakia to communist because they had to be invited in. It's kind of like, no, I can't come in. I don't you invite me here. The Obama version, I think, was modeled after that, written by the American Socialists from the 1960s, and it's called the Clowered Piven strategy. In case you don't remember what I told you, oh, so very, when you are just a young little toddler sitting on my lap
Starting point is 01:19:53 and that nice senator would come and smell your head. If you don't remember what I taught you back then, you cannot miss the Wednesday night special because back then it was a theory. Back then it was something that I said, this is happening. That's a
Starting point is 01:20:11 conspiracy theory. Well, now when we have horses on the highway, I think we can look at it in a new light. Tonight, Blaze TV at 9 p.m. You don't want to miss that.

Starting point is 01:20:45 Am I right? Is there anybody when it's sent him? Anybody? Bueller. Anybody? Anybody. Anybody? Anybody. that thinks that that is normal. Another thing we have in common is we love babies. I mean, I don't want them, but we love them as long as I can give them back when they start to smell or drool, or I'm just tired of holding them.
Starting point is 01:21:10 Other than that, I love babies. We save babies. This audience saves babies. Don't know if you know that, but we also save the moms. This is one of the greatest things ever. I mean, this is something where we can be for something. I'm for the moms that come in and they feel trapped and, you know, they want to have,
Starting point is 01:21:33 they have to, they have to, nobody's in their corner, nobody's supporting them. I love them. I also love the babies. What do you say we help both of them? We can. with Preborn. I want you to go to Preborn.com slash Beck, and you can read all about what they do.
Starting point is 01:21:53 It's really an amazing thing. It's so great. Donate, just dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby. Or you can donate, after you've done your own homework. Don't trust me. Rip it apart.

Starting point is 01:22:35 mentioned presidents presidents week used to be President's Day but nope not normal we just combined the two of them together and now it's President's Day Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and I just wanted to point out
Starting point is 01:22:49 we always talk about Abraham Lincoln and we all know the things he did but one interesting little tidbit has come out this year that he not only freed the slaves, but he also pardoned Moses Robinette, as in Joe Robinette Biden. Yeah, he apparently shibs somebody with a knife
Starting point is 01:23:17 in a fight in the Union Army, and the president got in the middle of it, and he pardoned him, which makes me think if Lincoln would have done his damn job and just stayed out of it, maybe the Robinette family would have passed that little thing down. Hey, you do the crime, you do the time. You know what I'm saying? The Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you about American giant. Our trade relationship with China is a joke. I mean, really it is with everything. I mean, hey, can we buy some more of your stuff? Cheap? Yeah. Yeah, I'll do that. There's a company that is trying to do.
Starting point is 01:23:56 something about this by just making things here in America. That's the solution. 13 years ago, American Giant rescued a clothing factory in North Carolina. It was about to be shut down and jobs were saved. More have been created. I mean, really, the town was saved. The people were saved. I mean, when this thing was going out, that was it. That was it. They brought back the American workers and they brought back the quality American clothing that used to be made in America with American-growed cotton, everything, the rivets, the ink. Everything is made and sourced here in America and then stitched here in America. I mean, you could find cheaper clothes.
Starting point is 01:24:34 You know, good luck with that, you know. I would be definitely against slavery. I mean, unless they're making clothes cheaper, then I'm okay.

Starting point is 01:25:13 The voice that we all know things are about to change dramatically. Some of us have, you know, money riding on it. Stu, can you think of anything? thing that might change that might make you, I don't know, $1,000 poorer? I can think of one specific thing. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Like, what? What would that be? Yeah, what would that be? Well, you've,
Starting point is 01:26:21 you've bet me $1,000 that you think Michelle Obama will be the candidate. Yeah, not only that, but that Joe Biden will not be the candidate. Well, that by definition, they can't have two candidates. So, yes, you're right. If Michelle Obama was the candidate, that would also mean that Joe Biden. You were playing this against me. That's what I said to you last time. You were like, whoa.
Starting point is 01:26:40 Yeah, I guess so. I guess it wouldn't be a draw. Anyway, so if you're like me and would like to see Stu suffer, I have somebody who can take the parallel from 2020 and show you how it's been done before. We'll talk about that with Steve Krakauer. Coming up, next. I've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. is a group that I have personally given to over the years. I really, really like them, like what they do, and I like the fact that it's Jews and Christians working together. Hey, let's save all the Jews.
Starting point is 01:27:23 I don't know. What do you say we work together as Christians and Jews? Wouldn't that be nice? That's why I've partnered with them after October 7th. Israel is in real trouble, as you know. they don't really have any friends. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, big friend. It's the IFCJ, and it's right in the middle of all of this every day. They work on essentials like food and medicine and emergency supplies. SupportIFCJ.org. Go there now.
Starting point is 01:27:55 SupportIFcj.org. Your donation is urgently needed to help the people in Israel, and your gift will be matched to double the impact. provide twice the support. You give a dollar. Somebody else is matching that with a dollar. Support.ifcj.org. Go there now.
Starting point is 01:28:18 Steve Kranck, who used to work here. And where were you working before you worked at the blaze? Before here, I was at CNN. So, yes, I was at CNN for about three and a half years. It was a very different CNN, I have to say, back in 2010 to 2013 when I was there. Yeah, well, I had just left there. And it was a, right? I mean, it was still the same, but it was not out of control.
Starting point is 01:28:40 Right. You know, they would- Guard rails were on. Yeah, I mean, they wouldn't crucify you in the hallway with literal nails. I think they would now. But, and then you came here and you were working at the blaze for a long time. Yeah. You've moved on.
Starting point is 01:28:53 You left us. And you left us for somebody better looking and more talented. You went to work with Megan Kelly. Yes. But you also have your own thing. You've written a book. This came out last year. Last year, yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:09 Okay, it's been republished now in paperback. It's called Uncovered How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People. You've been watching the media for a long time and watching politics and how it's been covered. There's something, there's a replay of sorts, I think. And I know you wrote about this in the book, but I want to see what you, if you believe it ties back in. And that's the Bernie Sanders getting the shaft from the DNC in 2020. Yeah, absolutely. And I think you can, I write it and uncovered about the way Bernie Sanders got the shaft in 2016 as well. And then again in 2020 by the DNC. We saw this incredible moment. They actually made a point of this when they covered this in the New York Times of saying, Bernie Sanders was really kind of coasting to victory. He had won New Hampshire. That was in 2016, right? Well, in 2016. And then again in 2020, you know, he won Nevada. And then there was this moment where Pete Buttigieg, who was doing pretty well in his campaign. And Amy Clover. Boshar, all of a sudden, they all dropped out. They all got behind Joe Biden in this final push
Starting point is 01:30:12 to stop Bernie Sanders, stop the big upstart, the progressive, the anti-establishment candidate on the Democratic side. But what was different in 2020 and what I write about it uncovered versus 2016 was it was also the media. I went back and I looked at some of that MSNBC coverage, Joy Reid, Chris Matthews. They were going so hard against Bernie Sanders, but not just against Bernie Sanders, but against his own supporters. And they were rallying the rest of the Democratic Party and saying, you know, you have to get in line. CNN, this incredible moment, I have to say they kind of created this story of Bernie Sanders having this sexist moment with Elizabeth Warren where he said, oh, a woman can't become president.
Starting point is 01:30:53 And then it was, that story gets published by CNN. And then that night is the CNN debate where Elizabeth Warren could then attack Bernie Sanders over it. So there were all these little moments where the corporate press was essentially working in collusion with the DNC to stop Bernie. Sanders. And I believe that we've seen a playbook for this. And now we fast forward to 2024. At the time, that was in support. We're seeing it again. Yeah, it was in support of Joe Biden. Now we see potentially, I think the drip, drip, drip happening as reclined podcast last week,
Starting point is 01:31:21 certain stories, if Joe Biden were to step aside, here's how they replace him. We're starting to see this happen. And I think that if we really start to see media stories, places like a CNN, places like MSNBC start to talk about what's really going on behind the scenes at the White House or potentially some maybe some big Hunter Biden investigation. Then we start to know they're done with Joe Biden. You're ready for move on. You know that's coming. They started going after Dr. Jill. Yeah. You know, just this week, that she's really the force behind him staying because she wants vengeance. That was the word, vengeance. I mean, I don't know who's really crossed Dr. Jill, but right okay uh but she wants vengeance and i thought that story would not have come out in 2020 there's
Starting point is 01:32:09 no way no there's no way they are now going after her and just sending a subtle signal we'll we'll continue to do that you really want to surrender yeah yeah i don't think the story would have come out in 2023 i think that the the the her report the special counsel report was a big moment and we've seen the polls i mean you know 86 percent of americans including most democrats I think that Joe Biden's too old to run. If this is really going to continue down this path, and I do think that the state of the union coming up next month is a big pivot point. If Joe Biden is able to sort of be okay on that big stage,
Starting point is 01:32:46 maybe the rest of the Democratic establishment, the elites on the Democratic side, and the media stays behind it. But if he doesn't, if he stumbles, I think we're going to see the floodgates open. And we've seen, you know, like I've written uncovered, the media on the left has tremendous power to sway their base. and if they really get behind it, it's over. Joe Biden will have to step aside.
Starting point is 01:33:06 Even if he says, I can do the job, it appears the American people think I can't. And then we start to open the idea of, okay, what happens next? Is it Harris? Is it Michelle Obama? Who steps into that role? There's no way it's Harris. I don't think it's possible, yeah. I think that's more likely than Obama still.
Starting point is 01:33:22 I do. Do you really? I do. I mean, again, she's terrible. And there's no reason to believe she's unlikable. It's totally true. Everything you're saying is true. It still would be difficult, though, to just replace her.
Starting point is 01:33:36 I mean, just to skip over her, Michelle Obama would be the one figure you could see that happening with because they could justify, well, it's an Obama, it's a black woman, we can do this. But it'll be hard to skip over. I don't think Gavin Newsom is a realistic possibility. I don't. I don't. I don't either. Right. I think Michelle Obama, Kamala, but I think is a, I mean, she's just unlikable.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Susan Rice. It has to be a black woman. It has to be a black woman if you're going to go with Kamala. If you're not going to go with Kamala. This is why I think it's so important for a really discerning viewer and reader to look at what the media is putting out there. They are in the know in a lot of these things. There was an Axios piece recently about kind of behind the scenes of the Biden administration that essentially propped up Susan Rice as this really key figure who she knew so much more than Kamala Harris on the border.
Starting point is 01:34:26 She was really taken it to Alejandro Mayorkas behind the scenes. maybe planted by the Susan Rice people to kind of position her as a potential savior there as well. Is she running the way? Is she the one that's the point person at the White House? I think that she was part of that Obama Biden blob that was part of it. She has now stepped the side. She was essentially removed. But you look at the people. I need a done Susan Rice, a lot of these holdovers from the Obama years. I mean, a lot of people have described the Biden administration as the third Obama administration, right? I mean, that's essentially And, you know, they say, they mock that now, but that came from the New York Times even in 2020.
Starting point is 01:35:05 You know, they say it was a pitch for him, basically. They were basically arguing on the behalf of Biden, essentially, this is, don't worry, it's a third Obama administration. Right. But there was also somebody who was taking it apart and saying, you know, had been taking it apart and saying, well, you know, everybody thought that was crazy. Look at who he has now in the White House. It's all Obama people. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Obama's the only one that hasn't moved away from D.C. No president has ever done that. I know. I know. And to your Michelle Obama point, recently on Jay Shetty's very highly rated podcast, why? She wasn't there to promote anything, but she's there talking Trump, talking politics. So you start to get these seeds and you wonder what is really behind it. And I do think that what's most interesting about this current moment that we're in is Biden is, you know, part of the blob. He's not the Bernie Sanders type. He's very much. part of the establishment and whoever's running that White House is part of that also. The corporate media, I've quotes on the record in the book about people saying how the people
Starting point is 01:36:09 that are covering the Biden White House have spent decades working and essentially having cocktail parties with the people in the White House. They know these people extremely well. It's not necessarily they're all colluding together, but they go to each other's kids soccer games. They know each other. They're part of that Acela media in New York and D.C. So you're going to get the signs in the media. It's inevitable.
Starting point is 01:36:31 If that's where the Democratic Party wants to go, it will be fed through the corporate media. So it feels like that already, but it's not, but it's, it doesn't seem sure footed yet. And you're saying it's going to be the possibly. I think if I'm diagnosing your bet with Stu, I think it's probably 50-50 still. I think that it's 50-50. Would you like to like to double the bet? I mean, we already have even odds on this bet. I know.
Starting point is 01:37:00 Would you like to double it? Want to make it $2,000, not just a thousand? I mean, the problem is percentage of income. I'm the one getting screwed here, right? Like, we all understand this. Now we're a socialist. Now we have to be all equal. I mean, here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:37:16 And again, let me just, let me talk this out in my head as we're going through this. One of the arguments that I, because I think Kamala Harris is she's still the most obvious choice. It would be difficult to overlook her. One of the reasons why I felt like Biden would stay in place is because if Kamala, who comes into power, becomes the candidate, she has her own people. Right. And all those people who are with Biden now are like, we're going to lose our gig if Kamala's the person because Kamala, they're totally, they have totally different circles. The Michelle Obama point, though, is a good one here because they are sort of the same circles. Like some of them are Biden loyalists, the Antony Blinkins of the world.
Starting point is 01:37:54 but a lot of them are sort of Obama affiliated. So, I mean, it makes me hesitant, but I mean, again, she said over and over again, she doesn't want to do it. All right, 2000, let's do it. 2000, 2000, 2000, we're updating it, 2000. That's good. I think it's, it's what, we've got the bed in now, so it's done.
Starting point is 01:38:14 But I think we're gonna learn a lot more in the near future. I think we're, the fact that the train is out the stage. Now, right, it's moving, we're watching it happen in the press, Now we start to see whether it's going to continue. So nothing like this has ever been done before. No. Okay. This will be complete.
Starting point is 01:38:31 It'll be a horse on the highway. Okay. Yeah. I don't know if you saw this, but go ahead and play. This is on, I think it's I-76 in Philadelphia. I can't stop watching it. I've seen it 25 times this morning and I still watch it every time it pops. Because you've never seen it before.
Starting point is 01:38:48 It's a horse on the highway. Okay. And that's what this will be. Right. Can you walk us through on what has to happen? I mean, I mean, they could, could they do that in the, in the Republican Party? Yes. In theory, they could. Okay. So hang on. Explain both of those to me here in just a second.

Starting point is 01:41:09 And every time I'm on with her, I, and maybe I should just come out and say it. I feel a little awkward, but Megan, my eyes are up here. Okay. But I'm sure she talks about me. Well, probably not. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, let's leave it out.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Anyway, so welcome to the program. Now, tell me how. the Democrats, because the Democrats have it pretty, they have the super, what are they called, super delegates, right? And they put that in place after they saw Reagan win. And they're like, we can't let that happen. I mean, the people choose? No way. And so how would this work? Yeah. Well, and I have to say, I know I mentioned Ezra Klein. He had the podcast last week, which I think started this ball rolling. He had another podcast today. And again, this is, who cares about Ezra Klein, right? But this is a New York Times podcast, very influential person.
Starting point is 01:42:01 He spends an hour laying out what would happen at a contested convention. He is laying the groundwork for what might be the case here and is obviously pushing for it as well. So it depends on when Joe Biden steps aside. There's a scenario where he stepped aside very soon and then they essentially have a primary process. That seems pretty dangerous for the Democratic establishment. There's the contested convention option, which again is kind of chaotic. And so wait, wait, wait. That is him still saying and the people are at the convention, the superdelegates and other delegates go, no.
Starting point is 01:42:33 Right. Right. Right. That's one scenario. Or he potentially just says, I'm now going to step aside and let the delegates decide, make their decision. And there's a lot of delegates that are going to be involved in that process. But I have to put out another really interesting window in time that might happen. This was actually laid out on Megan Kelly Show back last year. There's a moment where from August 23rd until about September 10th, this 20-day stretch, where if Joe Biden accepts the nomination at the convention, then the convention ends. And the delegates go home and they're no longer needed. But then in this three-week period, if Joe Biden then decides I want to step down, what happens is the DNC just picks a candidate. Oh, my gosh. So it makes it very easy. He loves democracy, don't we? Yes. Wow.
Starting point is 01:43:17 You've got to, I guess, destroy democracy to save democracy. Unbelievable. Yes. And so this is certainly a possibility where he can step aside. The DNC just gets together. It's 150, 200 people. They pick the candidate. It gives them enough time to put it on all the ballots and every state.
Starting point is 01:43:33 And then they just, there's a point someone. But who is a big enough name and known well enough to take that job? Right. Well, I mean, Michelle Obama is it? I mean, you go back to 1500. What do you go back to 1500 right now? What about 3,000? No, about 3,000. Four, you want to go for four? This is another reason why it's Michelle Obama or whoever gets put in that spot. Matt, you don't have to do any campaigning. There's no primary process at that point. And you probably don't have to do any debates. Look, we've already seen the way that they've talked about Donald Trump. He's, you know, this insurrectionist. And of course, let alone if there's any, even in the New York trial, if he's found guilty in that at that point, well, I'm not going to get on the debate stage with that person.
Starting point is 01:44:12 So whoever is in that spot just essentially just coasts to the final general election in November without having to do any campaigning or any debating. So it's an interesting prospect for someone who wants to not be involved in politics, but potentially, quote unquote, save the republic. That's fascinating. That sure sounds like Michelle Obama. Do you take a payment plan? Do you have a payment plan option available?
Starting point is 01:44:37 No. No. I'm like that New York court. I want to bond on it right now. But Glenn, can we say, I think that we should just step back and say, and this is what I try to do on uncovered is why is this happening, right? The only reason that we're even having this conversation is because of what I've seen described as threat inflation, where there is this idea where it's not, what would happen in 2024
Starting point is 01:44:57 if Donald Trump wins, the media, the Democratic establishment is making it seem like it truly is the end of the republic. It's truly the end of democracy. And so when you have that kind of threat inflation to it, this is such a huge thing. We cannot let this happen. That's when you have these kind of insane, chaotic opportunities that emerge, like this very unique situation that we're in. What did you think of the New York Times article this week that said that Democrats in particular
Starting point is 01:45:26 are tired of the threat? inflation. Yeah, right. And it's not working for them. Yeah, they're exhausted. Yeah, they're like, you know, in 2020, okay, but now I'm just tired of it. Well, I think that this is what I saw, frankly, in 2015 and 2016, which is the Genesis for Uncovered, which was the media, even the CNNs of the world and the left that are in theory serving the left side of the country are so out of touch with the average person in the rest of the country. They're so isolated, geographic, and have zero diversity of thought, no intellectual honesty on D.C. and New York. And they are just not in step with what the average person, even people on the left, even average Democrats in the
Starting point is 01:46:09 rest of the country, feel and think right now. Now, look, there is obviously the quote-unquote resistance, the people who are consuming politics every day, consuming the media every day. But most people aren't. I think most people are kind of exhausted with this. And they look at Joe Biden. People don't want to have enemies. No, no. They much, rather just, but having enemies, you know, having a country that's, that essentially feels like they have enemies, kind of part of the business model these days in the corporate media. It is. Right? If you don't have that, then you're, you don't have a business.
Starting point is 01:46:40 We're with Steve Krakauer. We're going to come back and talk to him about Donald Trump now. He's the author of the book Uncovered, Available Everywhere Now. Glenn Beck. So, Christy wrote to me about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She said, we have two pointers who hunt at least four days a week, if not more. What are you, Daniel Boone? Where do you... Anyway, their skin has been dry and flaky and their coats, dull, and rough.
Starting point is 01:47:04 Within two weeks of using rough greens, we've been able to see the bounceback level and energy, as well as their coats being amazingly shiny and smooth. No more dry, flaky skin. Couldn't be happier with it. I got to tell you, I went hunting with a dog during Thanksgiving, I think. You had to bring the dog over to the bird. No, right. Right underneath him.
Starting point is 01:47:26 Stand back. I'll get it. Anyway, Rough Greens isn't a dog food? It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food.

I mean, honestly, has this ever happened before where we've had to try to convince a guest to stay with us?
Starting point is 01:48:27 I mean, I don't think that's ever happened before. Usually the guests are like, oh, I'm so honored to be on. Not like, I got to get out of here. This is not the correct hour way. It's not the Crackhauer. Now I'm remembering why, you know, he left us. He left us. You know, oh, I've got to go to work.
Starting point is 01:48:43 Megan Kelly is my boss and she's going to want me, you know, producing the show in a few minutes. Yeah, whatever. This is good, though. I appreciate that. Steve Crackauer, he is the author of the book Uncovered. He is also the editor of Fourth Watch. And you can find him at readuncovered.com or follow him on. a X at Steve crack.
Starting point is 01:49:08 That's with two Ks. Unlike the way Hunter Biden spells it. K-R-A-K. Okay. So we were talking about what the Democrats can do. Now what happens?
Starting point is 01:49:23 I mean, what are your thoughts? I mean, they're in New York and D.C. Those people are crazy in the courts. Crazy. Oh, yeah. They'll convict him. I think so. Yeah. And I think that's,
Starting point is 01:49:35 that was part of the plan. You know, it's so funny. You can turn on CNN or MSNBC these days, and you watch a segment about, you know, experts say that if Donald Trump gets back in the White House in 2024, he could go after his political enemies. Look at that one might do in our democracy. Okay, and when we come back, here are the four criminal trials against Donald's right? But, like, what are we doing here? You know, but there's no cognitive dissonance. They don't, they don't care about hypocrisy anymore. That's completely out the window. So, so no, I think that the plan was to get a conviction before the election. I think that's certainly still possible, although I think we've seen that some of these trials are delayed. But whether it comes to the
Starting point is 01:50:13 political establishment, frankly on both sides, if you kind of look at it, and the media, that's the plan. I think that they want him to go into that general election. And we've seen the polls that if he really is convicted of any of these, even the New York one, that could have an effect on the independence, on the apolitical voters. So it could have an actual impact. But it's just... Wouldn't it make him just the... I mean, by their own thinking, that would just make him the third
Starting point is 01:50:38 black American president. Right. There you go. I mean, you know, I think they've made him into a martyr. Yeah. They've made him into a symbol. He's much more than Donald Trump now.
Starting point is 01:50:53 Right. Because they've gone after him with such crazy stuff. This, this judge up in New York. Anyway, we don't have to get into that. You got to get back on me and Kelly. I just wanted to ask you. So if he goes to jail, I mean, he'll say he wants to run. Right.
Starting point is 01:51:12 The Republicans, what are they going to do? That's really the big question. Because in theory, he could still run from jail. I mean, it's crazy that we're having this conversation at all, but that is obviously. There was a horse on the highway today. And now our Republican candidate is running for president from jail and could win from jail as well. So it's definitely possible. But I think that's the big question. I think that we're not going to get any sort of trial and conviction before July, before the Republican Convention. So it would be after. So I think at that point, it's done. Donald Trump's going to be the nominee. I don't see that as. I think it might have been a possibility if it happened in May or June and then they get to the convention and then are they going to have a contested convention? I think we're kind of done with that possibility. It's going to be Donald Trump. Conviction or not, I think that's where we're heading. chance of him winning convicted.
Starting point is 01:52:03 It's still a good chance. I mean, it depends on who's on the other side. It's Joe Biden. I think he's got a great chance. And then... Odds that Joe Biden is the candidate in November. This is crazy. This is crazy talk.
Starting point is 01:52:18 Should be, I mean, he's already the nominee, basically. Right. They're both the nominee. They still might not be the nominee. Yeah, they both could not be the nominee. I think it's unlikely. But I think that there's definitely a, possibility, certainly more strongly that Biden is not the nominee.
Starting point is 01:52:33 That's amazing. Yeah. I mean, I got to tell you, I mean, I think a lot of America would go, look, just both of you, back away. Right. Can we get somebody who's 40? You know, just 40, just somebody who understands. I mean, Donald Trump knows how to use the internet and use his phone.
Starting point is 01:52:53 We are very well aware of that. But I don't think Biden is. Oh, no. You know, he's like, yeah, what are they? Where's my record player? You know? It puts a TikTok out there and they got like 27 different jump cuts in it because he can't get formed. Right.
Starting point is 01:53:06 Yeah, gosh. And TikTok, didn't his, wasn't his policy, no TikTok? Oh, yeah. No, hypocrisy doesn't happen. I know, I know, I know. All right. All right. Let Steve get to his job.
Starting point is 01:53:17 All right. Don't say hi to Megan. Thank you both so much. Oh, Megan. I was on a little show called the Glenn Beck program. On it as always. Thanks a lot, Steve. The book is uncovered how they.
Starting point is 01:53:29 media got cozy with power, abandoned its principles, and lost the people. And he sits there like he's, you know. Get out. Go to your Megan. See if we care. It is great though, Glenn. And I know we talked a lot about our bet and not as much about his book, but the book has a lot of how the sausage is made and also interviews with like every big media personality on the stuff. It's a really good, it's a really well worth your time. So even though we're not worth his time, the book is worth your time. Apparently not. Apparently not. Hey, so I'm doing a show tonight at 9 o'clock. Of course, not going to be as good as anything Megan's going to do today.
Starting point is 01:54:09 But I'm going to talk to you about Cloward and Piven. And what just the border is costing cities and states and the federal government? It's outrageous. We showed you earlier today. Do we have that cut of that hotel? The horse on the highway? No, no. It's a different cut.
Starting point is 01:54:27 Yeah. Go ahead. Listen to this. Here is the Ro Hotel. This is one of the five hotels that has been transformed into a shelter. We're going to walk in there and see what kind of operation they're running inside. This is a nice hotel. Really nice hotel.
Starting point is 01:54:41 How's it going? Now he's met by security guards. The hotel is closed. But there's a ton of people in here right now. Yeah, but it's a shelter now, he says. Oh, you guys... Not a hotel. Shelter for the migrants going in?
Starting point is 01:54:55 Yeah, yeah. It's no longer open to the public. How many floors is it? 30 floors. This thing is... You guys aren't allowed to talk about it? Why is it like such a big secret, do you think? We just follow order.
Starting point is 01:55:11 The hotels such as the Roe Hotel close until further notice. They signed the contract with an outside source saying that they will pay the rent in order for them to house the migrants. And the hotels love it because it is guaranteed money every single night. And at a rate of $200 per night at the Roe Hotel, and they will pay the rent. the real hotel and with a 1,331 rooms, that is $2,000 a day, $1.8 million a week, and $7.2 million a month, and all that money is guaranteed. Stop. Can I ask, he just, he went by so quickly Andy, and an outside source is paying. What, what outside source is paying? Is it the state, is it the city? Is it, who is it? I mean, somebody's paying for it, clearly, and 7.2
Starting point is 01:55:57 million dollars a month. Well, this is what Eric Adams has been partially complaining about, right? Like that they have to spend all this money and they don't have it. So I don't know. I mean, there's reports that they have outside, you know, help coming in from the federal government or the, and they're certainly
Starting point is 01:56:13 requesting it. I think, oh good, well, we've got plenty of money. We have plenty of money. By the way, we told you today that for the first time ever, horse on the highway, we are we're now looking at more interest on our debt than what it costs to run the entire military industrial complex. Okay.
Starting point is 01:56:38 More in interest. That's a problem. Now, is it? Nah. Here's the, here's the real, I'm just saying that for hype.
Starting point is 01:56:46 I don't mean any of this, do. Boston activist now has demanded, well, let me just set this up. You know that Boston is paying because of the, They have to because they have a right to shelter law. So everybody's going up to Boston and in the right to shelter.
Starting point is 01:57:02 It's not just shelter. You need to have a bed, a guaranteed refrigerator and a microwave. Okay. Guaranteed. State. State law or city law. Okay. Well, they don't have enough of those, you know.
Starting point is 01:57:17 Would you like a place with a bed and a microwave and a refrigerator and a sink? Yeah. Well, we don't have any of those. So what they're paying now, they're paying restaurants and big food processing companies $65 a day for every illegal alien. And they're getting hot meals delivered to them. How long is that going to last before it all collapses? Now we have a Boston activist that is demanding $15 billion in reparations for black Americans. This reminds me of Cloward and Piven.
Starting point is 01:57:58 And what I talked to Tucker Carlson about, he said, you know, there's going to come a time where people are just going to say make it stop. And they will just run to whoever it is, it'll make it stop. Yeah, that is also strategy. That was a strategy from the Soviet Union when they took over Czechoslovakia back in the 1940s. We went over both of these things with giant chalkboards back at Fox. I'm going to show you, it's not a theory anymore. exactly what is happening and how those are being played out, exactly as we warned they would.
Starting point is 01:58:32 They're being played out right now. The clock is ticking how long before we have no money left and can't do anything about it. Got a challenge for you.
