Starting point is 00:01:29 It's a ho, ho, whole lot of dough. That ominous bill, it's really an ominous bill. We're going to talk about how monstrous this thing is today and how much of a bad idea. It's a really bad idea to be spending this much money, and we don't even know what we're spending. And we do know a good chunk. We'll go to Ukraine after Zelensky came in his PJs
Starting point is 00:01:52 and picked up some dough in person yesterday. Talk about that coming up as well and let you sound off all morning long. Barkley and for back today on the Glenn Beck program. Appreciate you being here with us back after this. It's a big spending bill. A lot of spending, and we don't really know what exactly is intense. It's 4,500 pages. And you know, we got to get this done right away.
Starting point is 00:02:28 We can't wait. There's no waiting around for this. It's got to happen right now. We're being sold out once again. at least that's a feeling and it's not just me folks like senator mike lee making that case the latest title 42 you're trying to inject it into the omnibus what's the latest there right in the senate yeah jason with this 4155 page bill full of democratic priorities does nothing to protect the border quite to the contrary it contains language undermining border security so i insisted that we have at
Starting point is 00:02:57 least one amendment up or down vote on whether to preserve title 42 because title 42 is the one thing standing between us and utter chaos. We already have mostly chaos. This would bring us to utter chaos if it expires, which is about to. All I want is an up or down vote. Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are terrified of an up or down vote. Why? Well, because they want absolute pandemonium and chaos on the border. And they're terrified of this vote because they will lose as they should lose. You know, speaking of this, this, the craziness inside this bill, You know, there's lots of money inside the bill. You know, 1.7.
Starting point is 00:03:35 By the way, $1.7 trillion that day, this is the current CBO score, so that it could actually get a big more money. Hey, just write us to blank check. Everybody wants to get out and get back home for, you know, we got a blizzard coming for Pete's sake and cross the country in multiple different areas, snow and in a very, very tough winter storm headed our way right in time. for Christmas. And we're going to be facing some of that where I'm at in West Michigan. I'm broadcasting from W.O.O.D. Radio and Grand Rapids, you know, this is, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:10 this is an understanding we just want to get back home, you know, but at the same time, uh, you shouldn't these folks be camping out in D.C. until they get this thing done. And of course, why, why all of the, the smoke and mirrors making this thing happen fast and quickly? Well, it's because they don't want you to know some of the things that are inside of it. They don't want you to know that we don't know a lot of what is inside. They've got teams of people trying to read through this whole thing. But here's Senator Kennedy, in fact, every time I get a chance to hear him say anything. Talk about anything.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I can listen to the guy talk about any subject. He's always good for a lot. But we know what's in the bill. It's 4,200 pages, give or take. Is this another instance of we'll find out after we pass it? That's no way to do things. How does it keep happening? Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:59 We don't know. We don't know what's in it. And yes, we'll have to find out later. My staff and I, we are going through it right now, but it's 4,000 pages. There was reporting last night, for example, that the bill contains, I think, $400 million to help Jordan the country of Jordan secure its border. one one one one could marshal a pretty persuasive argument that that's a pretty dumb thing to do so wait a bit $400 million to help the country of jordan's security its border anything in there for the u.s. give me a break this just isn't serious none of this is serious and they're all sort of laughing and giggling. Well, you know, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That shouldn't be. Actually, it's kind of sad, but it's funny that we do know. There's one thing we do know is in this bill. Matter of fact, we've got a few of the heads up. A little bit of a tip on what exactly is inside. I got some of that. You want to know some of these things are inside here?
Starting point is 00:06:11 Oh, there's money for all kinds of special interests. Oh, man, oh man. Let me see if I can dig up some of the LGBTQI. plus they describe it as, oh, there's all kinds of stuff in here. You didn't know? Now there's money to save the turtles and the whales and the, all that, all of that that you could imagine inside. But you know, they're also going to have more money for it.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Billions, billions. And added to our tab, put it on top of the stack that we've already spent. Billions. Billions for Zelensky. billions for Ukraine who came who came yesterday to Washington D.C.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Lindski comes to Washington and what did Mr. Zelensky have to say? By the way, he said, thank you for the money. 10% for the big guy. We can't forget that. Thank you for the money. All of it that you've sent,
Starting point is 00:07:12 all of the aid, the Patriot missile system that we just ponied up. Thank you for all of it. But it's not enough. Can you believe this? We have artillery. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Thank you. We have it. Is it enough? Honestly, not really. They're laughing. And they're laughing. Honestly, you know what it reminds me of? I saw this this morning.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Because there's no way I watched any of this life. I wasn't going. It's all of it happening. Not watching any of this life. I'll just watch the real. I'll watch the highlights. But this reminds me of your kids at Christmas. And if you're a parent or a grandparent,
Starting point is 00:07:59 you probably have experienced this at one point. I think I was probably even guilty of it as a kid at one point or another. But you, I mean, you go all out. You put present after gift under that tree. I mean, you just break your back to get that thing done for the kids. So that they could have Christmas. you know and not that that's what it's about but still you break your back you go try to do all that for the kids and they they tear through it I mean they get through that wrapping paper and they just
Starting point is 00:08:36 one after the other oh my goodness they're laughing and they're having such a good time and they come maybe they're even fighting over some of the presents and they get to the end and they go that's it get to the end of the gifts and they go, wait, that's it? There's no more. I want more. Now, you can't blame kids, you know, whether they're spoiled or not, you can't blame some of these kids, you know, they just don't necessary.
Starting point is 00:09:07 But although he looked a bit like a child in his PJs and behind that podium, kind of think he needed a stool or something. Now, I can say that because I'm not the tallest guy in the room, but Zelensky reminded me of a kid like a spoiled kid at Christmas yesterday. We said, well, this is just isn't enough. This just isn't enough. Of course, that's man of the year. Or excuse me, person of the year from Time Magazine.
Starting point is 00:09:40 It's a boondoggle. All of this money. And look, I'm not rooting for, I'm not rooting for Putin. Okay. I'm not a big fan of everything he's done. Of course, I'm not a big, you know, a Russian file. But what I will tell you is this, I think average Americans looking around right now, having a hard time understanding as high as inflation is, what we're spending on everything, just to put gas in the tank and groceries on the table.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And, of course, like I said, those presents under the tree, what what Americans are having to do right now simultaneously as their border is I mean we're it's wide open doors are wide open they'll argue with you about that all day long but these are people that don't even know what a woman is so you can't listen to them anyway but they will argue about that all day long doors wide open down the southern border
Starting point is 00:10:37 we are not protecting America we are not putting its interest first and the American people I think at some point At some point, they look to all of this chaos, the shenanigans, all of the ridiculousness. And they, it's going to say, enough is enough. Now, I wonder if the people down in Kentucky. In fact, I got some family down there.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I have some family. In fact, grew up not too far, right on the border, in the Ohio River. But I wonder if the people in Kentucky are watching what's happening. with Leader McConnell today. I wonder if they're watching what's happening with Mitch McConnell, who just signs off on us, in fact, saying, you know, our biggest interest,
Starting point is 00:11:33 our biggest interest right now in the Republican Party is, is Ukraine. Did I hear that, right? Not a single person I think that voted Republican in this last election sat down and see, I'm solely making this vote because of the way things are going Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I've got to pay it to no it's crime it's the economy it's every single bit of the things that we face on a daily basis here at home we're in the middle of a crisis every new crises every day one after the other it's like drinking from a firehouse and I just wonder the American people particularly the folks in Kentucky have you had enough yet quick break we're going to break down what actually the the rest of the things that we do know in the 5,000 page, $1.76 trillion bill. By the way, I had somebody call him my show the other day and explain. You know how much a trillion is? We'll break that down for you, too, because these are numbers that just get thrown around so much. Give you some context to it all.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Coming up in just a moment, in for Glynbeck. Today on the Glynebec program, it's Justin Barkley back after this. Here he is. McConnell yesterday or the day before talking about the biggest. one of the biggest threat to this country. And of course, what we're all concerned about as Americans, specifically, it's not our border. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:13:05 He says it's Ukraine. Making sure the Defense Department can deal with the major threats coming from Russia and China, providing assistance for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians. That's the number one priority for the United States right now. according to most Republicans. That's sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment. Has he talked to any? Well, that's a serious question. Has he talked to any Republicans?
Starting point is 00:13:42 One of the biggest problems we have in this country is that when folks go off to serve in Washington, well, the first and foremost, I mean, they go basically, you know, average middle class. They've even broken. They come back millionaires. When the time it's all said and done with, their net worth just exponentially increases. I'm sure that's just a coincidence, but that is one of the problems. The other is these people are so far detached from reality.
Starting point is 00:14:21 They wouldn't know if it showed up and hit them in the face with a Ukrainian flag. have no clue. They would have no idea what the average American is thinking about. It ain't Ukraine. I'm not saying that people shouldn't be helped over that. I'm not saying we shouldn't be praying for the folks over in Ukraine that are definitely said. The actual people. Not this cartoon character, this guy that comes. It's like he's in a movie. You're coming to America. You can't put a suit on? You don't own a suit. You're going to speak to the Congress, but you can't actually dress up, dress up, like, no, because he's playing a part. Anybody else get that feeling?
Starting point is 00:15:03 When you're watching Zelensky speak in Congress, like this is a guy, he's an actor, this is a guy who's playing a part. He's playing a role. They've got to have him in his fatigues. Looked like PJs. He was wearing his pajamas. Standing in front of Congress,
Starting point is 00:15:20 begging for more money. And they lapped it up. These folks lapped it up. Where is the judgment? they're completely out of touch. We've got to get back to the old days where look, you're not going to make a career out of it. You're going to serve for a while
Starting point is 00:15:38 and then you're coming back and you're done. Whether that's term limits or we get to the ballot box and we actually terminate. Folks in Kentucky, in the great state of Kentucky, how in the world do you elect, on one hand, Senator Rand Paul and on the other, Senator Mitch McConnell?
Starting point is 00:15:58 How does that happen? And it's What we saw last night The Standing the applauding Mitch Talking about how You know this is the biggest priority Ukraine's border The number one priority
Starting point is 00:16:10 For the United States right now According to most Republicans That's sort of how we see The Challenges confronting The country at the moment Number one priority This this shows
Starting point is 00:16:24 It's not the number one priority For Republicans It's the number one priority For the Unip Party Now you know why Mitch spent so much money against Republicans why he did not back
Starting point is 00:16:39 certain Republicans. Now you know why the Senate is still under Democrat control. Had a chance to take that thing back here in the last, in the midterms. But you know, when you're busy, you know, not sending money to Arizona where Blake Masters
Starting point is 00:16:56 could have used a little hand here and there. You know, just watching the choices financially of how they move this money around and who they choose to support, that should tell us everything we need to know, shouldn't it? It's time to end the Uniparty all together. It's time to be done with it altogether. You want a list of some of the things that were inside, at least what we know so far, what's inside of this monstrous, ominous, omnibus bill. This is this crazy blank check, basically. It is some of the most. ridiculous the spending on some of this stuff is this is got to be some of the most ridiculous
Starting point is 00:17:44 items and that you're starting to see it come out now but again these guys are just told you got to vote for it you can't read it ran paul talked about this the other day when he brought the thing out in a cart you got to see this thing it's massive and then he says yeah we're we're supposed to vote on and we have no idea what's in here i brought with me the omdi 4,100 55 pages. When was it produced in the dead of the night? 1.30 in the morning when it was released. Now people argue that it's conservative's fault. You don't have the Christmas spirit. Somehow you're holding up government. Well, whose job is it to produce this? The people in
Starting point is 00:18:26 charge of spending. The people in charge of both of the parties. When did they know that this would be necessary? Well, it's in the law, September 30th. You got nine months, almost 10 months, to produce a plan, to have a spending plan. They weren't ready on September 30th, so they voted themselves 90 more days. They weren't ready last week either, so they voted themselves another week. And now we have it at 1.30 in the morning this morning. But what's the clamor? The clamors to vote.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Vote now. Let's get it done. Why are you standing in the way of spending? Well, the real question is this. What is more dangerous? What is more dangerous to the country? 1.1 trillion dollars in new debt, or is Republican leadership likes to say, oh, but it's a win. It's a big win.
Starting point is 00:19:18 We're getting $45 billion for the military. So which is more important? Which threatens the country more? Are we at risk for being invaded by a foreign power if we don't put $45 billion into the military? Are we more at risk by adding to a $31 trillion debt? see other senator from Kentucky, Senator Rand Paul. All right, more of what's
Starting point is 00:19:42 actually inside the thing, because it is interesting when you start to peel back the layers. Plus, Kerry Lake, Kerry Lake is in court. This trial's going on, try and touch on a little bit of this. Some of the things that came out yesterday is really incredible. It ought to open quite a few eyes.
Starting point is 00:20:01 We'll get to all of it coming up on the Glenn Back program. The Glenn Back Program. There is a story. Brewing folks, this winter storm across the country. In fact, where I'm in in West Michigan, broadcasting live from Grand Rapids, W-O-O-D radio. It's Justin Barkley. We're supposed to get some sort of blizzard-like conditions. Blizzard warning going into effect a little bit later on today.
Starting point is 00:20:40 We keep an eye on that, but, you know, there's another storm brewing. They're talking about travel snows and all those things. And, you know, this is a heck of a time for this to happen right around Christmas, right? Obviously, people trying to get their shopping down, going to and fro. But can you imagine your Zelensky? You're just trying to get a few more billion dollars out of the U.S. here and there. And it looks like there might be a storm brewing in D.C. as well.
Starting point is 00:21:06 This is the latest report we're getting. Citizens Free Press reporting. Omnibus hanging by a thread. No more votes in the Senate tonight. This is last night. Omnibus in trouble. Title 42 Amendment causing big problems. Trish Turner tweeting.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Chuck Schumer taking the floor at 2 a.m. to say an agreement was near to speed up passage of the massive 2023 on the bus spending bill after senators spent Wednesday wrangling behind the scenes. The chief dispute was over pandemic era asylum restrictions. Now this comes from Senator Mike Lee, who we played this earlier. he said, look, you know, you want to go forward with this, maybe we ought to throw in, we ought to throw in some funding for this Title 42 stuff. Then it's just, it's only fair. Speaking of what's in the actual bill,
Starting point is 00:21:55 we'll tell you more about that coming up in just a little bit. Some of these things will make your skin crawl. But here's what he had to say. Title 42, you're trying to inject it into the omnibus. What's the latest there right in the Senate? Yeah, Jason, with this 4,155 page bill full of Democratic priorities, does nothing to protect the border. Quite to the contrary, it contains language undermining border security.
Starting point is 00:22:19 So I insisted that we have at least one amendment up or down vote on whether to preserve Title 42, because Title 42 is the one thing standing between us in utter chaos. We already have mostly chaos. This would bring us to utter chaos if it expires, which is about to. All I want is an up or down vote. Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are terrified of an up or down vote. Why? Well, because they want absolute pandemonium and chaos on the border. And they're terrified of this vote because they will lose, as they should lose.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And so I'm standing firm. I'm going to demand an up or down vote. If they don't give us the up or down vote, this is going to be very difficult for them, and it probably will cost them, the omnibus. Well, Mike Lee. Senator Mike Lee, this is the last night. I believe this was on Hannity. Senator, why not just wait two weeks till the Calvary in the House? It changes leadership. There's no more Nancy Pelosi in two weeks. Why not do that? Jason, you are absolutely right to ask that question because we should do that. This is what I've been
Starting point is 00:23:18 advocating since September. I've been advocating this all month in December as well. We need to have a short-term spending bill. Stop pegging this to the holidays rather than setting a shutdown cliff right before Christmas Eve. We should pass a short-term spending bill taking this into January. Look, no Republican should vote to support this measure. They shouldn't be supporting this bill in the first place, especially if they won't give us an up or down vote on Title 42. Got to love it. That's Senator Mike Lee stepping up and saying,
Starting point is 00:23:52 you know, you want all this. You want this thing. How bad do you want it? What are you willing to do? So now they're looking at Title 42. Republicans want a simple majority threshold for adoption. The Democrats want to raise the bar to 60 votes. So it's my expectation, Schumer says.
Starting point is 00:24:10 We will be able to lock in an agreement on the on the bus tomorrow morning. So that's what we're waiting for. Now, speaking of the border, it's a whole other animal. I didn't really plan on time. Do you see the latest thousands coming across? They've got possibly 18,000 now a day if this Title 42 goes away. And Title 42 is remain in Mexico. It's the Trump policy, Trump area policy.
Starting point is 00:24:38 that said, hey, you know, you're coming for asylum. You've got to stay in Mexico while we figure all of this out. And of course, Biden says, and it's so, it's so, I mean, he's just playing fast. It's so loose. They don't even know. They say they've lost track of about 150,000 people. I don't know how they know. That number is exactly 150,000.
Starting point is 00:25:04 But they say they have lost track of about 150,000 people. Now that's just the number they're telling us. I don't know how many more. But they're not keeping track of all of these people. They come in. They're not processing and all this stuff. It's the whole thing. But to think, again, we were talking about what's in the bill and what's not.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Did you know there's money in this bill on $1.76 trillion in this bill, the spending bill, money for foreign border security of foreign nations. But the bill itself, proletful. prohibits this, any of this money being spent on securing the American border. So Mike Lee, this might be an effective strategy. Wait and see here. More than 4,000 page, $1.7 trillion, omnibus, ominous, omnibus spending bill for its funds for the U.S. border security, but it provides funding for border security in foreign nations, according to this.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Democrats need at least 10 votes for GOP senators to pass the legislation, which was in Ville. Tuesday, 1 o'clock in the morning. Congressional leaders are rushing to pass it before the Christmas break. The back and forth on this. It expressly prohibits CBP funding. Border Patrol from being used to improve border security. This is according to a tweet from Rep. Dan Bishop, North Carolina. who's been pretty outspoken and vocal on this deal.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Among the findings inside of the language prohibits U.S. Customs and Border Protection from using the $1.5 billion in funding, they've got to acquire, maintain, or extend border security technologies, capabilities, except for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol processing. So they can't do anything with that money to protect the border unless it's to process people that are, coming over here. McConnell and the rest of them. No, no, no, no, it's okay. There's nothing we can do here.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Matter of fact, you just got to take it. Just like it. You're going to take it. At the same time, $410 million, Bishop says, I told this earlier, towards border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.
Starting point is 00:27:49 You got 1.5. Here, $1.5 billion, but you cannot use it to actually get the job done. Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott on Twitter, how can any Republican justify voting for this? It's a slap in the face. It's a slap in the face. It's a betrayal. Many are making the point. I agree.
Starting point is 00:28:13 For Republicans to come out and voted, it's a betrayal. What Mike Lee was saying in that previous clip from Hannity last night was he, basically why don't they wait until they get the Republican House we've taken it back? Why don't they wait until they get back past something that's short term if you need to get it through or let everything shut down? But why don't they wait until they get everybody back in? Of course that makes too much sense.
Starting point is 00:28:47 That's not going to happen. That makes far too much sense. It's not that. you're just now that's big you're being ridiculous now what else is inside of it what else is inside you want to know what else is inside of it 11 million dollars inside the omni 11 million dollars for LGBT related projects they say themed LGBT themed projects lawmakers released the spending bill I had a potential government shutdown this from bright part now on Friday giving themselves only a few days to
Starting point is 00:29:26 parsed through thousands of pages of taxpayer-funded proposals, tucked in thousands of pages of special interest, LGBT-themed spending, which includes funding for projects like Pride Centers, and other gender ideology-saturated items. Now, you can have a conversation about whether or not we should be funding those sorts of things. That's a whole different conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:55 I'd lean to tell no thank you. That's just me. But we're not even not to have those conversations anymore. See, you can't have those conversations. You can't even read what's in the bill. 1.2 million to San Diego Community College for centers to support LGBT students. A million dollars for Zora's house in Ohio,
Starting point is 00:30:16 which describes itself as a co-working and community space built by and for women and gender expansive people of color. I don't even know. They've got everybody parsed out so much now. I don't even know what any, hardly any of this stuff means anymore. $3 million for the American LGBTQ plus museum in New York City. You cannot use any of that money on the border.
Starting point is 00:30:40 No money for the border, no money to secure the border. That's just not appropriate. You can't do that. Whatever you are trying to do, no thank you. It's just not going to. to happen and Zelensky there saying enough is enough.
Starting point is 00:30:59 All right. Enough. Enough is enough. You know, speaking of the house, it got a interesting headline here. House GOP locates emails, text showing Pelosi office directly involved in failed January 6th security. Isn't that something?
Starting point is 00:31:21 We're just beginning to scratch the surface on some of it, but what we're finding out is something that you've known and probably suspected for a long time. It's kind of like Twitter files. This stuff just. leaking out here and there quietly underneath the radar on a snowy Christmas weekend. Well, we'll try and shine a light on it. Tell you what exactly is in this story and why you might need to know.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Coming up, in for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program, it's Justin Barkley back right after this. The Glenn Back Program. Miss a day, miss a lot. Visit blaisTV.com today and never miss. It's a moment of truth. Love this tweet over on the newly freed bird. Elon's Twitter.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Adrian says the news used to be there to inform you. Now it's just there to confirm your suspicions years after events occur. What he's talking about is the latest report from January 6th. Now, I'm running through some of this, I got to tell you, it's no surprise. It's just like the Twitter. files. No surprise. We've known. Everybody that is paying attention has known that these things are happening behind the scenes. House GOP locates emails, texts showing Pelosi office directly involved in failed January 6th security. Now, we just wrapped up the commission, the clown show, the circus of
Starting point is 00:33:18 the January 6th commission. And of course, you know, we know what's come out of that, big, big bunch of nothing. Of course, they referred President Trump to be charged. But that wait, there's a little something else that we just kind of found hiding under Iraq, apparently. House Republicans gathered a trove a text and email messages showing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office directly involved
Starting point is 00:33:45 in the creation and editing of the Capitol Security plan that failed during the January 6th riot. Security officials later declared they had been denied again and again. the resources needed to protect one of the nation's most important homes of democracy. The internal communications made public Wednesday in a report compiled by Republican reps. Rodney Davis, Jim Banks, Troy Nells, Jim Jordan, and Kelly Armstrong
Starting point is 00:34:13 encompasses the results of months of investigation they did of evidence that had been ignored by the Democrat-led January 6th Committee. Oh, yeah, don't want to see any of that. We don't want to pay any attention to any of that. More evidence mounting behind the scenes of what they failed to do and when they failed. Did I want to know? And maybe we'll get a hint to this, especially if Jim Jordan or the rest of those guys, are actually allowed to go like the Bulldogs they are in fight for the truth.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Hopefully we'll get some of that, at least a better picture of what went down to the confirmation of it. And you may say, what good is it now? What good is any of this knowing any of this now? we suspected this was a case, but what good is any of knowing any of this, especially some of the crazy stuff in the Twitter files. It's turning the tide. You've got to get the information out.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Part of this whole thing that we're going through is literally just telling people what happened and getting the word out. And so you've got to repeat things. We've got to talk about things. Glenn's got to talk about things. He does on a daily basis. You may think, oh, well, I know this or I heard this, right?
Starting point is 00:35:29 I know that. But there are going to be people that are hearing it for the first time every time. And that's why this is so important. It's why it's so important to get the word out about some of these things and why folks need to know what went down, why it went down. And, of course, the truth about it all, including Twitter. Some of the stuff in the Twitter files is so damning. I don't even know if I suspected some of this. We'll talk about more of this as the program continues,
Starting point is 00:36:03 but it's just so much to unpack in a short amount of time. These days it's like drinking from a firehouse, folks. Let's stay in touch, no matter what happens. I want to make sure I do that with you. Send me a note throughout the program or just find me all over the internet. Go to Justin Barclay.com. Justin Barclay, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y.com so that we can stand touch. Let's connect.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Always a pleasure when I get to hang with this audience, especially for Christmas. This is the Glenn Back Program. Retainment and Enlightenment. The Glenn Back Program. What is happening and unfolding in a courtroom in Arizona right now is wild, to say the least. The Kerry Lake Trials proceeding. We heard that some of the most interesting pieces of the... of information yesterday. If true,
Starting point is 00:37:44 could turn things completely upside down. They get into some of those things, plus Mike Lendell joining us to talk about the trial and more. All coming up this hour, it's Justin Barkley in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Some disturbing things coming out of Arizona, particularly the trial at Kerry Lake yesterday. It's Justin Barkley in for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program. Let's connect. You can find me everywhere. over the internet, but Justin Barclay.com, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y, Justin Barclay. Justin Barclay.com is my home base. This is one of the bigger highlights from the trial.
Starting point is 00:38:34 What is chain of custody? Let me explain you this. It's an expert in chain of custody testifying yesterday that the procedures weren't followed. There's some really concerning issues that are coming out of this trial, but the chain of custody means that we verify that when your ballot is cast, whether it's a mail-in, whether you go and cast it in person, whatever. you're doing that the procedures are followed, that there can't be any room left for any tampering, any issue at all. That's called chain of custody. We've got to know where this thing's been the whole way. We've got to make sure that it hasn't been, there hasn't even been in a,
Starting point is 00:39:09 well, an appearance of impropriety. That's why it's so important in our elections to make sure that all these things are buttoned up. Here she is, this woman testifying yesterday in Carrie Lake's trial. Do you have all of Maricopa County delivery of receipt documents? We do not have any. We requested them, but they said they had misplaced them. Oh. And those are the ones that were for election day, correct? Well, actually, we didn't get a single one of those for the entire election. It is the testimony of the, or in the declaration, the runback employees that no such documents existed for election day.
Starting point is 00:39:48 For election day? Right. What about prior to the election? Yeah. This form is actually created for all of the days prior to Election Day. I'm sorry, but my question was specifically related to Election Day. There were not. Well, we did not receive any.
Starting point is 00:40:05 They said they misplaced them, and the runback employees said none existed. It's incredible. Little things like that happening by the scenes, I think maybe you're not aware. Maybe I suspect, but you're just not aware. We don't have confirmation until now you get to see this trial up close. And we don't really get to see things like this going to trial off. and do. We don't get to see what's happening behind the scenes, but now we're finally getting
Starting point is 00:40:28 a chance to see some of this. Joining us right now, Mike Lundell on the program. Mike is obviously the pillow. My pillow makes incredible pillows and all kinds of products, including, I don't know if everybody's ever complimenting, but the most comfortable, the nicest socks I've ever put on my feet, Mike. But you're also passionate, courageous American. You're out there fighting for this country, and we thank you for that.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Well, thanks for having me on. Yeah, isn't that something? Do you know that the trial in Arizona is the first judge in the United States that's going to look at the evidence based on merit and not kick the can on standing? It's a miracle. You know, we've heard so much of this, particularly over the past, these things would go to maybe get a chance to get looked at by the judge. But then they would say, no, as you just mentioned, no, there's no standing here.
Starting point is 00:41:20 You can't really do that. We don't, we're next. So none of these things have really gotten looked at in the way that Carrie Lake's case has gotten looked at is going to get the chance to get looked at. This is pretty incredible. Yeah, it's huge. This has been the biggest cover-up of the biggest crime in history. I've said that before.
Starting point is 00:41:40 This is massive. And the judge, you know, he's looking at, but he's squishing the trial into two days. and we flew in more experts and lawyers, and it's been quite a crammed 10 days here, but what a blessing that day. And then it's celibis, so that's even better. And, you know, we hope this is just the start of many Supreme Court judge in Georgia yesterday. The Supreme Court of Georgia, which is Democrats and Republicans,
Starting point is 00:42:12 just overturned what a lower court had made that said that the people had no standing. They said, no, you people of U.S., you have standing and of Georgia. So we've got great things going on. I'm very excited. Mike Lundell on the phone with this right now on the Glenn Beck program. Mike, I know you were instrumental in a lot of these cases in helping fund some of this when it comes to the lawsuits, particularly in Arizona. But you come up against a couple of, I don't know how much you want to talk about this,
Starting point is 00:42:47 but you come up against a couple of hurdles. You look like you're going to have some help getting some of this funded until they found out what you, the relief that you want. In other words, the solution that you wanted from the lawsuit. Can you talk a little bit about what happened inside the Republican Party? Absolutely. The Republican Party, let's go back to the R&C, let's go back to November and December of 2020, they went and raised $80 million or so.
Starting point is 00:43:13 And based to the big donors and to the micro-donors, and said, hey, we're going to look into the election. We're going to look into these laws that were broken or constitution by the states, early voting, all this stuff that legislatures make the law, not the, not the Secretary of States, everybody. And, but they did. They raised the money and they said, we're not going to, sorry, we're not going to do anything. And then they doubled down again here in Arizona about a month ago.
Starting point is 00:43:42 They came down there, said, hey, we want to help. We know Kerry Lake Warren. We know Mark Finch and Blake Masters, all these people down there, the Attorney General. And so here they come in there. We get them the lawyers. They said they're going to pay for everything. And as soon as they found out that the relief would be a new election, they pulled out. Let's head on over to Georgia.
Starting point is 00:44:06 So they head over to Georgia. And they go, everybody, give us money. Give us money for Herschel Walker, was promised that there was going to be, I believe $5 million and they only put up $1.9 million. So, you know, you can't keep hitting these donors and not getting any return on their investment. We're going to lose our country. We're at a critical time in history and we need we need every help we have all the help we can get. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:44:34 I know this is something you probably hear from a lot of people. In fact, I know people are saying this to me now and messages and whatnot. So like this goes forward and then what? And what if the judge doesn't do the right thing? And I know, I mean, you're a man of face. So maybe you just talk about this from that faith perspective, but you keep fighting. You're not going to give up.
Starting point is 00:44:52 What can you tell people to give them a little bit of a, you know, hope, not false hope, but to know that, look, folks are continuing to fight. Right. No, this is, I got a huge message of hope. There's over 50 lawsuits we involved in over the whole country. And they're all at different stages. And you just don't hear about it. You're not going to hear about this on Fox News or Newsmax.
Starting point is 00:45:17 And they don't talk about anything for some reason. You know, I suppose because of the law affair, I'll give them an excuse because everybody gets sued or against sanction if they talk about these incredible cases. The judges are going to bring our country back, everybody. You've got to pray for the judges. We have, if Kerry Lake, whatever this judge decides, that's a big step in the right direction, that he's listening to the evidence on.
Starting point is 00:45:43 merits on the merits. And so and that's a little different down there because we have 59% of the machines went bad on the morning election day all at the same time. It was a very contrived effort. And and then you have um, um, with if, if whatever happens, it'll be appealed. We have, uh, we have the preliminary injunction in Arizona that Carrie Lake put up this summer that we all put up. And that guy, they made the judge put a ruling in after he said no standing. Then he came out of to go and set to pay for the lawyers by lawyers to pay sanctions, but we're appealing that and we're appealing the case to the Supreme Court. We have one case in Alabama. That's not going
Starting point is 00:46:23 anywhere. We're going to the Supreme Court there. And these are all going to, I believe a lot of them will end up, you know, hopefully at the U.S. Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court. And we are, we're getting wins all over little victories and they're going to turn into big victories. And we will have our election systems. have to be fixed or we're going to lose our country. Mike Lendell with us right now, the Glembach program, Mike, from the first day of testimony, there's one of the most shocking things. There's been Election Day attorney has said that there's no question in his mind that
Starting point is 00:46:57 had these tabulators been working correctly at 132 vote centers the day of voting, that Kerry Lake would have won. Take a listen to this and hear what he has to say. I'll get your comment on this. I would say, you know, there's only 17,000 roughly votes separated. the two candidates for governor, based on what I saw on election day, I would say there's no question in my mind that had there not been tabulator issues at 132 vote centers, this election would have ended up with Kerry Lake winning. So based on that, Mike, I just want to ask you,
Starting point is 00:47:37 what is some of the most damning evidence what's coming out? Obviously, you agree with that statement. That's why you're fighting. But what are some of the most damning things that we've learned and what she's actually been allowed to talk about or what her attorneys have been allowed to talk about in the trial day one? Well, there's a couple things coming out today that I don't even know about because I know he had to come up with some money to keep, he needed to get a plane to it. We had to keep him because it was running longer and he had to get back for his family
Starting point is 00:48:06 to anybody. He was testifying this morning. But anyway, you have a lot of things. You have 59% of the machines that were, that we, the evidence will show they were, that was done intentionally to shut them down. They were all in Republican areas or most of them. So what happened with those ballots? Because they had 20-inch ballots, but there were 19-inch images printed on 20-inch ballots. Can you talk about that, Mike? What exactly happened?
Starting point is 00:48:36 Here's what I believe, well, obviously they don't go in. Here's what I believe happened. And in the primary, they wanted to take Carrie Lake out in the primary. And we told everybody to vote same day because the early voting and the mailing, it's easier for them to sheet and pull names down from the dirty voter rolls. Well, and everything goes through something called Griffin Research, the report out in New Jersey, and then it goes out to all the news or CNNs of the world. Well, we watched Carrie Lake in the primary.
Starting point is 00:49:06 she was losing, losing by 10%. The day of votes came in, it's 11 o'clock at night where they started counting them. She was winning 70, 30, 70, 30. She overtakes her opponent. She's up by 12,000. And then they shut everything down for three days, as we all know. And they didn't have enough left to steal the election or the primary from her. So in this one, we said, hey, everybody votes same day again.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Everybody votes same day. The same thing. Same about 7030, 7030 would have happened. Those votes on same. day, they never went through the Griffin research. So they never, when you talk about Shane O'Custy, they didn't even go through the Griffin Research in New Jersey. And the reason I believe, when you, everyone's in line, you come in these paper, oh, I'm sorry, it's not taking your paper, put it in the box, put the ballot in the box. But at that point, they basically
Starting point is 00:49:57 become like a mail-in ballot. You can do anything you want with them. And obviously they did. No chain of custody, those people that were in line, it was a 75, 25, 25 carry lake, some 73, right in that range. And she would have won by, I believe it's upwards of a hundred and some thousand votes. She would have won by, or she did win by. And it's, uh, so you're going to see, um, we believe we have the best case ever put forward because you not only have the evidence we have in all the other, the 2020 election, all these other elections that call it the cyber evidence.
Starting point is 00:50:32 But you have here physical evidence that they did. They weren't even, they were pretty blatant about it. When I woke up the morning on November 8th, I go, oh, thank you, Lord. Our prayers are answered. They're doing it blatantly, right? You know, right in front of our eyes. And it was even reported all over the world, even on Fox News. What a miracle, right?
Starting point is 00:50:52 And but then it's like, you know, they're saying, you know what? We don't care. We're going to cheat right in front of you. And if you don't do it and we don't believe you're going to be able to get past a judge or do it. anything about it. Well, they were wrong. Here we are today. And Mike, we'll see what happened. Hang on one second. I want to keep you, if you can hold it just a little bit longer. We'll come back and wrap up with you. Mike Lindell. We're talking about what's happening.
Starting point is 00:51:14 The trial right now, Carrie Lake continues down in Arizona State 2 today. We'll continue to keep you updated with that after this. Back next with Mike Lindell, Justin Barkley, and for Glenn today on the Glenbeck program. You know, it's almost against all odds. You almost need a piece of divine intervention. I know that folks are hoping and praying for that. Lundell joining us to talk about Kerry Lake's trial and of course Mike I want to give folks a chance to know how they can support and get out and help in in this case and others moving forward before we wrap up with you here but divine intervention this country has seen it throughout its history we we almost need a little bit of that
Starting point is 00:51:57 what what are you hoping for what are you praying for what can folks open pray for well well we need we need a lot of that the uh but it gets uh This has all been in God's hands and everybody that's just doing their part and the best we can. But I really believe that the 2020 election will go down as the most important election in history because of everything that keeps getting revealed. When we get through this, we're going to look back and say, wow, everything had to happen just the way it did. And to get to this great place that we're going to get to. And it's revealed corrupt politicians.
Starting point is 00:52:36 It's revealed corrupt platforms like Twitter, what's went on at Twitter. You know, my own company, they said two weeks ago when Elon Musk did a dump, he said the word my pillow has been flagged on Twitter for two years. Before the 2020 election, Mark Zuckerbach on Facebook would not even let me do ads with my own face in the ads. I mean, this is stuff that's been going on in our country. Google, we just heard the other day, is it even with the R&C, it's not. I've been looking into that, sending 90% of their emails into spam. I mean, what I'm saying is just revealed everything. But the biggest thing that's revealed is we can't use computers in our elections.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I have met with France, Germany, UK, the Netherlands. They all use paper ballots one day, and it's a beautiful election and not a selection. The stuff going on, we have to, we have to, if we don't fix our elections now, it's over. and and but but I don't want to discourage anyone because if this think if we didn't have all the stuff we have now, all the all the evidence and all of the everything's getting revealed and they couldn't keep the truth down for it as they tried boy they tried they took on January 7th and 11th and 7th and 8th of 2021 1.2 million Americans were a deep platform of YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, Facebook and they tried to take away our voice forever but it didn't work for them and we're coming back louder than ever.
Starting point is 00:54:06 We're going to get through this, and we are going to have an amazing country. And I believe we're in the best, biggest revival ever for Jesus Christ. I believe we're in this big revival because people look to God when things aren't going so good. When things are going great, people tend to get status quo complacent. And so I just, I think we've got a lot of divine intervention here. And I'm more encouraged every day. encourage everybody, have courage everybody and pray for the judges to have courage to be judges. Courage is contagious, and we need courage right now. We can't live in fear or someone else
Starting point is 00:54:46 is going to do it or this is we all got to take part, not just praying, but encourage a judge. If you know a judge, hey, accept your cases and look at them on the merit and just be a judge and don't kick the can on standing. And now you have examples that are, that things are going to start changing out there. Mike Lindell, how can people support you? Obviously, My Pillow, great company, your courageous American standing up, anytime you buy anything from Mike at Mypillow.com or MyStore.com,
Starting point is 00:55:16 the coffee is amazing, too. Dricking, I'm powered by your coffee this morning, Mike. So how can people help support you and what you're doing? Well, we have the Lindel Legal Offense Fund.org, or the Lindellegal Fund.org. All the money is going to help save this country. I have put every dime that comes in, I put where I believe it's needed the most. And it's helped out just this last month.
Starting point is 00:55:43 People really started to help. And I have tens of millions of dollars of my own money. And I actually had to go borrow money. But everyone's helping out now. And it's really encouraging. Well, make sure we get those online as well. I'll put that stuff up at Twitter at Mr. Justin Barclay. And Justin Barclay.com where you can find the rest of the mic.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us today, my friend. Thank you all. God bless. Yeah. Merry Christmas. God bless. How about that? Mike Lindell says we may need a Christmas miracle and we may get one, folks.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Stand by. The Glenn Beck Program. Back in the Glenn Beck program, it's Justin Barclay in for Beck today. You can catch up with me. Let's connect. Justin Barclay.com, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y. Love to hear from me. You can send me a message direct to me on my website.
Starting point is 00:56:36 If you want to comment, rant, rave, ask a question about anything during the program here. we were just talking to Mike Ligendell, and of course he's detailing some of the things that came out to Carrie Lake Trial Day 1 yesterday. Carrie Lake tweeted this down in Arizona, some really bizarre details. But one of them was about the ballots themselves. You know, previously a lot of the talk has been about machines and electronics and more about, you know, the ghost in the machine. Let me just put it that way. But this, what happened and what they show is the reason why they have so many issues on Election Day particularly wasn't a machine itself.
Starting point is 00:57:22 It was a paper error. In fact, a human error on paper. Kerry Lake tweets, they printed mutant ballots on Election Day using a 19-inch image on a 20-inch ballot. Now, the best way I can explain this to you is, you know, all the bubbles and everything you have to fill out. All of that, what your ballot looks like, they print that on top of the white paper. The white paper is 20 inches. But the picture of the bubbles and the questions and the people's names and all of that, that's on your ballot.
Starting point is 00:58:01 That's the actual physical ballot printed on the paper. That was too small. It should have been 20 inches. Instead, it was 19 inches. Now, that was either done on purpose or was a big oops. There's been some testimony in this trial to suggest that it was done on purpose. There's no way around. Well, I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:58:31 All I can tell you is this. That's what happened. And that is why you had the issues that we saw on Election Day. People going, trying to put their ballots in. Which one's been working better. And then, you know, it wouldn't go through it. It wouldn't scan, so they push it through one scanner. And it's not going.
Starting point is 00:58:55 There it goes. Yep, spits it out. Nope, not going to take it. And they take it over to the other scanner and puts it in. It's just it. And it's rejecting it's because the scanner doesn't, it's not. accepting this thing as an actual ballot, it's saying like,
Starting point is 00:59:15 this is invalid. This is not, this is not working. So, Kerry tweets, mutant ballots, they printed mutant ballots on election day using a 19-inch image on a 20-inch paper,
Starting point is 00:59:29 ballot paper. That's why the tabulators rejected the ballots, and that's why chaos ensued as Lake supporters flooded voting center to cast ballots. Clowns and crooks run our election. She tweeted that apparently She was a little earlier last night.
Starting point is 00:59:51 I don't know. With all of this information that's out there, I don't know that there is any solution other than just to throw it all out and do it again. And the problem is you do it again. How do you know that these same people wouldn't find another way
Starting point is 01:00:19 if this was intentional, right? If they wouldn't find another way to, you know. So I don't know what the solution is here. Can a judge just roll hey, carry one? I don't know that that can happen. But I will tell you, this should be eye-opening for everyone. These things are happening on levels that we just, we're not paying attention. That's kind of how we got to this place, right?
Starting point is 01:00:49 and those that are paying attention. You're called a conspiracy theorist. You're called some sort of tinfoil hat wearing loony. Well, and the FBI is busy doing it now. Have you seen the FBI's latest? This is all about the Twitter files. The FBI now saying that apparently Twitter and the emails themselves from their own, from their own in the FBI,
Starting point is 01:01:21 it's all conspiracy theory. The statement is incredible. It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purposes of attempting to discredit the agency. Well, that's all they care is about, I guess, the credit of the agency. Well, they should care about the credibility of the agency. But trust is at an all-time low. It's rock bottom, not just for this particular institution, but for all of them.
Starting point is 01:01:50 And that really is a shame because there are many hard work. men and women. There are many hardworking individuals within the FBI, law enforcement in general, and all sorts of other institutions that are well-meaning, well-intentioned, and they're good Americans. In fact, they're patriots. But we're seeing a political, and the folks, the powers that be in the upper echelons. We're seeing like a political upheaval that's taken place. You don't believe me. Elon Musk says,
Starting point is 01:02:28 hey, here's the files. I get the files to prove it. The Twitter files, if you haven't been paying attention to this is really, it's been eye-opening. And I think for a lot of us, folks have suspected some of these things were going on happening behind the scenes anyway. So I don't want to bore you with it if you've heard the details over and over,
Starting point is 01:02:47 but it does bear repeating. Just to break down what was really happening behind the scenes, who was involved and why they were censoring, your speech. Why they were censoring conversation. They didn't want to allow certain information to get out. In fact, they label it dangerous disinformation.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Well, here's what we know now. I think we're on the eighth iteration of the Twitter files. We now know, according to what Elon Musk has released, that there was a laptop. Now, a lot of this is focused around 100 Biden laptop, but I think it's more. I think there's more, and there's more
Starting point is 01:03:24 important information. It's not just about 100 by and corruption in deals that he may have been doing. And, of course, any sort of extracurricular activities that he may have been doing, that's one thing. Of course, you may say, well, that's, you know, that's bad enough. And yeah, it is. But it's the systemic corruption that's happening. It looks like within the Biden family. They didn't want you talking about this.
Starting point is 01:03:47 And with foreign entities. And they didn't, you know, that really didn't care how corrupt or how seemingly on the take any of these people were because they had one goal and one goal in mine, and that was to get rid of President Donald J. Trump. No matter why you think about him or feel about him, maybe you love him, maybe you hate him. I don't know. It doesn't matter. Replace him with any other president, maybe your favorite of all time, and to say that folks
Starting point is 01:04:13 are working behind the scenes to do this has got to be something that will shake and wake every American, but I don't know if it will. Honestly, I don't know if they're going to hear this news. you and I do because we listen to this program. We are tuned in to folks like Glenn Beck and talk radio on a daily basis. We're watching the news. We're even looking for quote-unquote alternative sources, which I think is kind of weird to call them alternative now.
Starting point is 01:04:38 But I think they're like people sharing the truth. Alternative to the narrative. Let's just put it that way. But we now know that there was a guy named John Paul Mack, Isaac, who owned a computer store. Hunter Biden dropped his laptop off there to get it repaired. He left it there. Maybe he came in a couple of times, too.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Mac Isaac did talk to him a few times. The guy finally never came back to get the laptop. So he did some digging and looked into the laptop and saw what was inside of it, saw who had belonged to, and then he kind of got a little concerned. And I believe he did try to turn this over to the FBI. I don't think they wanted it first and finally they had come again. I could be wrong about that.
Starting point is 01:05:22 but Rudy Giuliani, Trump's attorney, ends up with the contents of the laptop. And Rudy Giuliani starts talking behind the scenes about what's going to happen. Apparently, the FBI finds out about this, putting two and two together, because they have him under surveillance, the president's attorney. They have him under surveillance, just like they had the president under surveillance. The FBI is going back to the Russian collusion. story. The hoax. That was propagated by some of these
Starting point is 01:05:59 folks. You remember Peter Strach Stroke and Lisa Page? And yes, the entire crew of folks behind the scenes that were making these things happen. Now, this is just fact now. We know these things to be true because over time
Starting point is 01:06:16 this stuff has come out. This once conspiracy theory, now I guess you call it spoiler alert. We just know these things to be true. So get this. The FBI spying on Giuliani knows that they have this information and it's about to become public. The New York Post is going to do an article about it. They're going to do some sort of expose.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Miranda Devine is going to write this story. And of course, the day before the thing gets released, the FBI reaches out in secret back channels to Twitter and says no. Well, we don't know exactly what they said because it was a secret back channel. But we know they had conversations and we know that the FBI reached out about Russian disinformation. particularly around this story, not just to Twitter, but to Facebook. How do we know that? Mark Zuckerberg admitted it on Joe Rogan's podcast.
Starting point is 01:07:07 You can't make this stuff up. And yet it happened. All of this happened. And so the day before the story would get out to the world and go live, Twitter made decisions behind the scenes to make sure that it would not see the light of day. Zuckerberg and Facebook did it in a more subtle way. And then we find out behind the scenes that the FBI was telling Twitter who they should censor and who they shouldn't censor, telling them what stories should be published in what shouldn't be published.
Starting point is 01:07:47 And yet it gets even worse than that because, you know, they were doing that. They had to be doing that everywhere. Wait until you find out what they were doing at the mainstream. Your nightly news and your local televisions. You know, wait until you find out, get a load of what they were doing there. But wait, there's more because they were paying for. folks at Twitter. Wait till you hear this.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Taking a quick break. We're back with more in just moments. Justin Barkley and for back today, Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. The Glenn Back program. Whether you're sipping on a glass of vegan eggnog or munching on your non-binary gingerbread people.
Starting point is 01:08:45 I get that posted over on Facebook right now. This is the latest in some of the craziest Christmas woke snacking I've ever seen. The cottage bakery. This looks like it's in Europe, someone. I want to say London, England. Non-binary gingerbread people.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Wouldn't want to offend anyone. Make sure we get all that straight. We wish you were merry, Merry, whatever it might be the next couple of the year. Can you say Christmas anymore? Is that even allowed where you allowed? I'm going to say it no matter what. They say a couple other things that you probably, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:09:27 maybe they don't want me to say. I have no problems talking about the truth. Justin Barkley. And for Glenn Beck today, you can connect with me over at Justin Barclay.com, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y-S-M on the newly Freed Bird, Twitter as well, at Mr. Justin Barclay. Many different places. Speaking of Twitter, we're just talking about this, the Twitter files.
Starting point is 01:09:44 What do the latest files, and by the way, there are eight different installments now. What do the latest... files detail and include. Well, the FBI, not only telling people what, in Twitter, specifically other social media companies, this is a direct violation of the first amendment.
Starting point is 01:10:03 Government telling people, private companies what they can and can't say. Now remember, it used to be hey, they would say, well, they're a private company. They can do whatever they want. They can do whatever they want. They're a private company. You know, you don't like it. You get your own Twitter. Well, Elon did. He went out and got
Starting point is 01:10:19 his own Twitter. Now he's telling people what was happening behind the scenes. He's letting all of it loose, the details, the emails, all of it. FBI paid Twitter millions, had close relationship with execs and staff, all in the emails showing the latest $3.5 million. Three and a half million dollars. The FBI paid Twitter. Now, why would that be, why would the FBI be paying Twitter anything? The FBI paid Twitter $3.5 million between October 2019 and February 2021 as compensation for the time its employees spent managing their requests, according to internal documents published by author Michael Schellenberger earlier this week as part of the ongoing Twitter files. After the Hunter Biden laptop story broke a member of the FBI's office of General Counsel spoke with Twitter's then-Depity General Counsel Jim Baker, also a former, FBI agent in a private call.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Schellenberger reported. Obviously, our work with the FBI is close. We will never get public credit, but I would like to think our FBI counterparts who worked so well with us this election cycle. The Twitter files, all of it continue to come out. Anytime Twitter needed to suppress speech or the FBI wanted somebody struck off of the Twitter, I guess, suspended. like Mike Lindell who was on earlier.
Starting point is 01:11:50 You know, what these folks taking off, they're spreading dangerous disinformation. What is that, basically? It's sometimes it's a truth. But it's anything that goes against whatever narrative they're pushing. And all over, folks. It is incredible. And we won't let up.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Even on Christmas, the news never stops. And of course, it's always a pleasure to fill in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. To be here with the smartest audience in the business. It really is a pleasure. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. If this is it for you. If not, stick with us. The X now is going to be fresh and hot.
Starting point is 01:12:29 This is the Glenn Beck program. About to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. The Glenn Beck program. A Merry Christmas, folks. It's Justin Barkley in for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program, and we've talked about problems. talk about those until we're blue in the face. It's like, you know, never a dull moment around these parts.
Starting point is 01:13:49 I always say drinking from a firehouse. That's what I equated to. We always have won crises after the next, but let's talk solutions. What can we do, in fact, after so many are depressed after the midterm elections in a lot of ways? What can we do? We'll go talk with some folks who are making a difference, get the blueprint and show you how you can make a difference to no matter.
Starting point is 01:14:13 where you are after this on the Glenback program. Yeah, I know. It's easy to kind of feel hopeless, especially when you look at the state of things. And you look at Washington, D.C. what's happening there on a daily basis. What's continuing to happen there?
Starting point is 01:14:41 Find the latest on this omnibus. We'll talk more about that. If anything passes, comes up, and hits, we'll get into that. But, you know, we watch the things that happen, maybe even at your state cap, but I'm in Michigan. And it feels like all All hope is lost, but it's not.
Starting point is 01:14:59 It's Justin Barkley broadcasting from News Radio with 1,306.106.9 FM in Grand Rapids here in West Michigan. We're awaiting that blizzard, this snowfall, but we're also awaiting some good news. In fact, I thought maybe we'd bring you some, some solutions. You know, Glenn often talks about the answer. you know, what is what is the answer? He often talks about how you and I can make a difference in our own local, you know, all backyards, our own local elections, our own local situations, municipalities,
Starting point is 01:15:37 wherever it might be townships, wherever you might be. All too often we look kind of the far off places for the answer, but maybe it's a lot closer than what we imagine. I was in a small group of people with, I don't know if I want to admit to this on the air here. But our General Michael Flynn talk about something a couple of weeks ago. And he was asked a question by somebody about folks who say, you know, we need to follow, you know, trust the plan,
Starting point is 01:16:10 that there's, you know, there's a plan. Trust the plan. We can sit back eat her popcorn. Trust the plan. And I heard him say some things that I thought were particularly inspiring. Now, they were also very realistic. and might have been like a punch in a gut to a few people. If you're one of the folks who'd been sitting back and thinking,
Starting point is 01:16:32 I got my popcorn, I'm sitting on the couch here and watch. I'm going to trust the plan. Flynn said there is no plan. At least, it was pretty adamant about this. There's no plan. There is, at least not in the sense that you might think that there is something happening behind the scenes and that something is in motion to save the...
Starting point is 01:16:57 He said, not in the way that you think. You are the plan. God has a plan. And he works through us to make that happen. Each one of us called to do our own. That doesn't matter. You might have a completely different calling from what I have. I get to talk to you on the radio.
Starting point is 01:17:26 I get to come on like Glenn. and he is calling us. He gets talked to you every day on the radio. And share these stories. Share the truth. Share some hope. Share some solutions. Your calling might be a little bit different.
Starting point is 01:17:41 Maybe it's to step up and go to school board meetings. Maybe it's to step up and run for a school board. Who knows? But there is, if you're waiting for a savior, folks, that's not coming. Not in the sense any way that I think that some may be waiting for. We don't need a superhero. That's another question we had over the last week. We don't need a superhero.
Starting point is 01:18:10 We need to stand up and become. Become those people. I want to talk to some people, in fact, one who did just that in an election that was, well, a midterm election that was filled with all kinds of chaos. And it's outcomes that we didn't want and I think expect. His name is Joe Moss. He's part of a group called Ottawa Impact out of Ottawa County. out of Ottawa County here in West Michigan, where I'm at. And not so much to talk about West Michigan or Michigan,
Starting point is 01:18:43 but really more to give you a blueprint that could work in every state. Tell you, he's just one. He's just one of the many people, I'm sure, throughout the country that are doing different things. And you may even have similar plans that you're following. You'd like to share with us as well. But he had some big success, the folks that gathered around that organized with this group called Ottawa Impact, I want to share a little bit about what that was and see if we can, I'll share the recipe for folks all across the country and take this nation back. Joe, appreciate you being here with us.
Starting point is 01:19:16 Thanks, Justin. Thanks for having me. So don't trust the plan. You are the plan. And I guess you kind of understand this because you have seen it up close and personal. Let's talk about what Ottawa impact is and what you guys accomplished because you're a small group of rag-tag folks who got together during the 2020 non-dead. sense and said, you know, I don't like what's happening in our schools. And particularly one of the issues that you guys saw was a masking, surrounding masking and what
Starting point is 01:19:43 the county health department was making your kids do. In fact, coming into a private school where you were at and saying, these kids even under private school had to follow these rules that they had self implemented. And you stood up to this. In fact, thousands, lots of folks, they're in Ottawa County. parents stood up and said, I'm not enough is enough. I'm going to take a stand here. Am I right? Is that how this Ottawa impact came together? Yes, you are right, Justin. Ottawa County is, you know, a conservative strongholder considered one. It's very red. And, you know, in 2020,
Starting point is 01:20:22 the government response to the COVID-19, you know, saw in our county some pretty harsh treatment in disregard for parental rights. And, and yes, it's, did lead to the county threatening a local private classical Christian school several times and then they actually shut it down. It's incredible. Private Christian school that came and said, you, your kids have to wear a mask too. Not just public schools. Right.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Right. And you thought you probably had a lot of these parents. Well, they might kind of be insulated from some of the nonsense, but it came looking for them, too. It did, and it continued. And the short version, you know, we got into the next school year, going into the next school year, and Ottawa Impact, having already started and had been advocating for freedom and for family. And we heard, we're going into the next school year, mask-free, should be much more normal, 2021.
Starting point is 01:21:33 And then a few days before school started, the local health department issued another mask order for little kids. Yeah, I remember this. And you guys decided to step up and fight back. And I remember a thousand or more people coming to a county commission meeting, they decided, look, no more. We're going to make sure that we fight back here. I want to give people the blueprint because it started with really, I think, humble beginnings,
Starting point is 01:22:05 but what it's moved into has been folks who have come together in a movement to take back control of the county commission, the board of commissioners, but also win some big school board races and these little things that, you know, I think a lot of things we just sort of rode off back in the day. we thought, you know, we've got to focus on these big Congress and, of course, president and governor, things like that. But these races in our own small local areas, they tend to have more impact than who's in the White House, your own backyard. Joe, want to give that blueprint to folks.
Starting point is 01:22:45 If we can, we come back. Got to take a quick break here. But if you would kind of let people behind the curtain and show, like, share what you did, because I know there are going to be people listening. This could have a major impact and help shift. things across the country. We'll share some of that. We're talking to Joe Moss with Ottawa Impact. Coming up in just moments, Justin Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glenbeck program. Talking solutions, Justin Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glenback program.
Starting point is 01:23:20 And we're talking to one individual who was sort of the head, the tip of the spearless movement, Ottawa County, Michigan. It's a movement. It ended up basically flipping commissioners. Now, these were folks who'd been on the board for years. Republicans, they primarily threw them out, and nearly swept the entire Ottawa County Board of Commissioners in West Michigan. Also had success in school board races. Joe Moss joins us right now with Ottawa Impact. Joe, we'll talk about the secret sauce.
Starting point is 01:23:54 What happened and what did you guys see? What's the blueprint? What can people know and use to organize effectively moving forward and have an impact, even though, in their local situation, like a state where Michigan at the state level, things are lost, yet you can still make an impact at home. Right. Well, people say all politics is local, and it is true, and there's been a lack of engagement
Starting point is 01:24:17 around the state, around the country in local politics, and everybody focused on the top. Well, that's not healthy. We know civic engagement from the ground up is critical to preserving, you know, a healthy moral society and to preserving freedom. So as we were advocating in 2020 and 2021, we realized very quickly that our local leaders were not listening to the people. You know, when when you have a thousand people show up at a county committee, you know, a county board meeting when typically there's, you know, five or 10 people max there.
Starting point is 01:24:57 And then they don't listen. You know, that's a problem. So we identified the need first, and that need was new leaders for liberty. And so we began to organize around that. And the team of debt, I mean, we have a team of amazing volunteers. And they got together with various backgrounds, various specialties from marketing to branding and technology and messaging and all kinds of things like that. And we built an organization. And Ottawa Impact, you know, began to, you know, find and vet candidates against a very specific pro-freedom, pro-Parental rights standard.
Starting point is 01:25:45 We ended up publishing all of our documents online at Ottawaimpact.com. It has, you know, our position statement, our contracts for school board members and county commissioners. and then we went out and proactively searched for candidates. Let me have to before you started talking about the candidates. What was in the contract? Because this is important. Principles, things that people, you know, vow that they are not going to move from, that they cannot be shaken from, this contract was a big deal.
Starting point is 01:26:21 Right. Right. It is. That was our focus and still is because the people who were elected will be seated in January. And we wanted to focus on, you know, recognizing the important principles that our nation was founded on, like limited government and individual responsibility. We took some of those overarching principles, and then we drafted a contract. And it's not long. Give me an example. What were some of those? What were the most important things? So number one is promote and protect
Starting point is 01:26:57 to liberty and freedom by valuing the people above, you know, above all else, above any other interests. Another one would be governed with the least force and least authority required, you know, to allow people to live their lives and exercise their God-given rights. This sounds like common sense to me, and yet we're so far removed from it these days. Yes. What else was up there? We have promote due process and defend the moral responsibility of parents to maintain the control and care of the upbringing of their children, you know, basically parental rights.
Starting point is 01:27:39 So when you went out looking for people who might fit this bill, and of course, they're going to be the ones that are going to have to sign on to this contract and say, yeah, I agree with this, and I will not waver. How did you go find these people? and did some of them find you? How did that process work? Seems to me like there might have been a little bit of a divine intervention there as well. Oh, absolutely. One of my favorite quotes is all the affairs of men are sovereignly interrelated. I mean, definitely there's God working in this process.
Starting point is 01:28:15 One of the advantages that we had was we were being active. You know, we were organizing a year. ahead of when we needed to take political action. And, you know, we, we know unified political action is important. And so, you know, working in unity is when you have, that's the ultimate competitive advantage. So we went out and proactively searched for people in the districts that we wanted to run in. And we looked for normal, everyday average Americans, people who love their country, who love love their county, who love the people who are, you know, who they would be representing and would sign the contract to uphold those, you know, founding principles. So if you had advice to
Starting point is 01:29:09 somebody who's listening and they're feel a little hopeless, they're feeling helpless because they're kind of seeing the way the way things are to state of the world. But yet, you know, they're in your story and they kind of see, okay, there might be opportunity where I'm at. Maybe I can take back my school board. Maybe I can take back my county commission board. Whatever it might be. They're homeowners associations. Well, listen, some of those are even worse than anything you see in Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 01:29:42 Trust me. But let me ask you, what would you recommend? What would you suggest? What could you say to inspire and maybe encourage these folks? I mean, the people are the answer. Ottawa impact would not exist if the people of Ottawa County hadn't stepped up. I mean, we ended up in the last two years, you know, sending over a million emails. Our average donation was only $100.
Starting point is 01:30:11 I mean, we are not some, you know, dark money funded organization. We are a movement of the people. And it's local. It's locally focused as it should be. And so, you know, one helpful thing I could say is, you know, there are many, you mentioned common sense, you know, reasoned and rational, reasonable people in our communities. You know, I'd say that's the majority. You know, many people still have that common sense. And they may need someone to step up in their local community and start speaking the truth and start promoting. freedom, family, and American values.
Starting point is 01:30:58 So it really starts with having a conversation. It starts with sharing what you're learning, sharing the stories that you won't hear anywhere else. Having a courage, Michael Lindell brought that up earlier in the program, but having the courage, taking the courage, pray for that, not only in yourself, but in elected officials and others, the people that are organizing together,
Starting point is 01:31:16 and making sure that you take those steps. Because faith without feet really doesn't do much. we have to give our faith feet. We have to give it action. Where can folks follow you and maybe reach out? And I know you're quite busy because congratulations. You're about to begin your tenure as an elected official there in Ottawa County on the board of commissioners. But where can folks reach out to and find out more? So you could go to Ottawaimpact.com and sign up for the newsletter or, you know, You know, follow us there.
Starting point is 01:31:55 Follow us on Facebook or Twitter. Very happy to continue serving the people of Ottawa County. Joe Moss, Ottawa Impact. Always a pleasure, my friend. Thank you for everything you do. Thank you for standing in the fight. Thank you for your courage. All right, folks, we continue.
Starting point is 01:32:13 Coming up next, we'll talk about some of these crazy words. They just don't want you to say again anymore. Stanford Banning Work. Got an email from John. Appreciate that. by the way, you can reach out, send me a message, Justin Barclay, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y.com. There's a place there on the website.
Starting point is 01:32:48 Just hit Let's Connect, and, of course, a place to connect with me all over and social media everywhere, Justin Barkley.com and also send me a message. John says, has the definition of treason changed? Good morning. Just wondering if the definition of treason has changed. I know the bar's pretty high to convict for treason, but the terms of what qualifies as treason, have not. I've seen some decisions by this administration, border on this,
Starting point is 01:33:13 and why have these questionable actions and policies been looked at in the line of treason? Just wondering, asking for a friend. We can be careful we use that word. John, you've got to be, for the record, John used it, not me. You've got to be careful to use that word, John, because, I mean, it depends on who you're talking to. The definition of words that everything is changing nowadays, and yes, if we don't even know what a woman is, how can we know? Something like treason is.
Starting point is 01:33:45 Speaking of words, I want to talk about that coming up here in a second. Stanford, there's got a whole list of words they don't want you to use. A whole list of words, they say, we should just not, we shouldn't be using these anymore. And I just want to make sure that we're all dotting our eyes, crossing our teas, all of that, and make sure that we're politically correct here before we get out of them, and make sure that you're falling along and of all the information you need. But first, speaking of it. of what he just mentioned and of course the FBI
Starting point is 01:34:13 literally coming out and calling people conspiracy theorists for believing what Elon Musk is releasing from Twitter and their very own FBI agents said in emails that yes they were working behind the scenes to censor folks your dangerous disinformation blathering conspiracy theorist tinfoil hat wearing loon if you believe any of it but Senator Josh Hawley begs to differ in fact
Starting point is 01:34:40 he's calling into question what's happening at the FBI. And he says something that I think shouldn't be taken lightly. Take a listen to this. To me, which of course I didn't watch it was on an airplane. I haven't watched a minute. Talking about January 6th,
Starting point is 01:34:53 that state propaganda to cover for the fact and distract attention for the fact what we learned and have been learning is that the FBI deliberately interfered and not one but two separate presidential elections. And, you know, the idea that the FBI who laundered the steel dossier back in 2016 through the courts,
Starting point is 01:35:12 lied to a FISA court in order to extend their wiretaps that they never should have gotten in the first place. Then in 2020, deliberately suppressed the Hunter Biden story. Remember the FBI had the Hunter Biden laptop for a full year before. The story broke.
Starting point is 01:35:26 They knew all about it. They had all the emails, knew it was true, and yet put out there that it was Russian disinformation. I mean, and we see now with Twitter. I mean, went after Twitter until Twitter agreed to censor it. Now you're a conspiracy. if you believe any of this is going to say on the Twitter was the most aggressive in doing so that's unbelievable stuff there have got to be repercussions for that or we're not going to have a why has no one gone to jail regarding all this I don't know but somebody should go to jail for it great question for the reporter I think that's O-A-N and we're going to have to have clearly a conversation about the future of the FBI wow and what it's doing in our in our democracy because that kind of power the kind of power that they have is immense and if they're going to use it in this way then
Starting point is 01:36:09 I have to say I think our constitutional order is not secure. Wow. I think Mr. McCarthy is talking about something like a church-style committee. That would be a good start. A church-style commission would be unnecessary. How do you clean this up? Because people are usually doing the reporter asked, well, how come people who haven't gone to jail? Who's going to be putting these people in jail?
Starting point is 01:36:29 Is Biden's DOJ going to go after these folks? Oh, they're signing off on all of it. They want all of it. Who's going to take? That's a great question. It's going to really take action. I don't know that it's going to happen now. Will there be oversight?
Starting point is 01:36:46 I'd love to see it. I'll wait and see. I guess that's part of it. Wait and see. Wait and see. Love to see it. But gosh, I mean, you know, there are well-intended, very good people inside the halls of the FBI that are probably just as fed up as you and I are watching this. Maybe it's some of those folks who will be standing up and lead the charge. I don't know. we're going to have to, the folks are going to have to have
Starting point is 01:37:17 courage in order to do so. Senator Josh Hawley saying the FBI deliberately interfered in not one but two separate presidential elections. There have got to be repercussions for that. That's Senator Josh Holly.
Starting point is 01:37:36 I agree. There ought to be some repercussions for that. About the day and age, we can't even decide, you know, what a woman is, what words mean anymore. I mean, this list of words from Sanford. I mean, how do you figure out get to the bottom of the truth of anything? See, truth doesn't move. The truth is rock. It is foundation and it never changes. Why is it so important?
Starting point is 01:38:06 Because if you've got to constantly ever shifting truth, your truth, my truth, you know, nothing ever makes sense. If that's part of the shifting and changing of the definitions, to build your house on sand, it's not going to end well. Stanford University proposing adding the term American to a blacklist. They don't want you to say American anymore. Folks, this was, it is laughable. If things weren't so serious, you probably could laugh. It's more crying at this point.
Starting point is 01:38:39 But the list is crazy. American? Now, you may have heard some of these. American, they don't want you to say it's harmful to say American. It's harmful to say American. It's harmful to say American. I don't want to use that word anymore. Wouldn't want people get offended.
Starting point is 01:38:56 Stanford University targeting a label as part of its Orwellian elimination of harmful language initiative that seeks to police language by memory holding certain words and phrases. Now, some of these are going to be words that these wackos, on the left, the woke wackos, the wokeadoodles, some of these folks have come up with themselves. Instead of the words American, the university wants people to use the word or the term U.S. citizen. You're not American, you're a U.S. citizen. It probably can figure out why. I'm sure it has nothing to do with thousands
Starting point is 01:39:36 that are pouring across the border every single second. They have eight categories of language policing. They are ablest, ageism, culturally appropriative, gender-based. imprecise language, institutionalized racism, person first, and violent. These are the eight categories. They have newspeak suggestions for every offensive word and phrase they can think of in those categories.
Starting point is 01:40:07 It's literally 1984 come to life with Stanford setting itself up as the think police. Don't say Americans say U.S. citizen. Don't say immigrant. instead, folks, you want to remind yourself and those at your Christmas gatherings. It's a person who immigrated. Did say immigrant say person who immigrated. Why? Does that make any difference?
Starting point is 01:40:46 And avoid he and she unless you know the individual's preferred pronouns. You can't. You can't make this. You can't make this up. Other suggestions, Stanford makes for word replacements are. instead of handicapped parking addict and Karen, they need to change these all to different words. Accessible parking,
Starting point is 01:41:12 person with a substance abuse disorder, and demanding or entitled white woman. But we can use that race, but we can't use, wait a minute, wait a minute. And how do you know that Karen identifies as a woman? Isn't that a little bit?
Starting point is 01:41:30 I just think maybe a little, something in itself, huh? You can't say Karen anymore. That, now, now, there are a lot of reasons why you probably shouldn't say Karen. There are really good Karen's out there who are been, I feel like they've been a little bit disparaged by this use of the word Karen. And most Karen, I mean, a lot of them are actually folks on the left.
Starting point is 01:41:55 You remember that one in, um, Karen, it was in the central park. she called because a black man was in Central Park and she ended up being very progressive or regressive I guess is the right word for it. Very, she leftist. Yeah, very progressive. She had to call 911 because there's a black man in Central Park and she didn't feel like he should have been there or something, something along those lights. That story turns out that some of these folks who end up pointing the finger,
Starting point is 01:42:25 you know, like you probably heard this, to point the finger you've got three pointing back at you, these folks that are pointing the finger end up they have pointing more fingers back at them so just a couple of the things on this whole list is very long to go through I don't want to go through all of it but I just want to make sure and I'll put a link I put a link of this up on my website I usually put the things that we talked about and something called the stack at jester barkley.com but this story the blaze.com if you get a chance make sure the Christmas you know the news does not start stop for any And it certainly doesn't stop for Christmas, especially these days.
Starting point is 01:43:03 Used to be everything kind of just calm down for the holidays. And we talk about nice stories about, you know, what the word of the year was or what they're banning or whatever else. But, you know, we got this omnibus pill out there. You got Zelensky coming. You've got the FBI and Twitter. You've got the Kerry Lake trial in Arizona. All these different things that we've covered today and many other things that are happening as we speak being exposed online, the blaze. You can catch up with all of it.
Starting point is 01:43:28 So make sure you do that. Back next to wrap things up, Justin Barkley and for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program. And formed. Sign up for the free newsletter today at glenbeck.com. I guess I spoke too soon. Justin Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program, I was just talking about these stories and the one out of Stanford
Starting point is 01:44:13 that has everybody renaming, you know, words that you can't use. Now you should use different words. Well, it turns out, as I mentioned the Blaze. I want to take one quick look to make sure I wasn't missing anything and I was. Here it is.
Starting point is 01:44:28 Theblaze.com. Marine Corps considers replacing sir and ma'am with gender neutral terms to eliminate, quote, the possibility of misgendering drill instructors.
Starting point is 01:44:42 You have got to be kidding me. China and Russia absolutely laughing at this. And how many of you, Marines? and you went through. Can you even imagine that something like this would even be topic of conversation?
Starting point is 01:45:10 A new lengthy academic report from the University of Pittsburgh. It's usually where all this stuff comes from. It's universities. I think that's our first, that's our first acknowledgement here. You know, you see something coming out of university. You might just well file that in file 13th. Right in the trash. Burn it.
Starting point is 01:45:31 They are now advising the Marine Corps to consider dropping gender-specific salutations such as sir and ma'am. Replaced them with gender neutral identifiers to eliminate the possibility of misgendering drill instructor. As if this is a big problem. As if this is a real big issue in the Marine Corps. As if a drill instructor even cares. Their one job is to train these Marines to be able to be ready to go out and keep themselves alive. those around them. They got bigger fish to fry than whether they're being misgendered.
Starting point is 01:46:10 Marine court leaders are reportedly not convinced transitioning to gender neutral salutations would be as simple as a 739-page report. Suggests the University of Pittsburgh received $2 million. They got $2 million to do the study. $2 million! That just takes us back to the $1.7 trillion in the omnibus. 1.7 trillion report commissioned in 2020, published in 22. They get $2 million two years to do this.
Starting point is 01:46:41 argues the military services have already largely stopped using gendered identifiers for training staff. The Army, Navy, Coast Guard, effectively de-emphasized gender in an integrated environment. The report claimed instead of saying, ma'am, or sir recruits in these services refer to their drill instructors using their ranks or roles. So there you go, folks. That is, you know, that's the, that's the latest. Don't let stuff like this get you down. Sometimes it's so, you know, some of these things are so wild. You find yourself laughing.
Starting point is 01:47:19 I think that's a great way to handle it. Another great way for us to handle, and I think for these conversations to take place, is to have the courage. Talk about what you can do. Where you might step up in any situation. Each one of us to believe has a calling to do different things. We have gifts.
Starting point is 01:47:39 We have abilities. They have God-given talents. Our experiences lead to that a lot as well. What is it that you're called to do? You might ask that question and then have the courage. Pray that you might have the courage to step out and do it. It might just be to talk about these things. It might just be to have conversations or people might be to go to school,
Starting point is 01:48:01 board meetings, town hall, whatever it might be, it might even be to run for specific offices, but don't give up. The fight continues, folks. I have a little more hope, a little more courage. Know that God is still on the throne. This battle is on ours alone. Wishing you the best. Love to connect with you.
