Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Rough Greens. Where's my dog? My dog's around here someplace, probably outside. Rough Greens is something that you put on your dog's food, and they love it, no matter what size. I mean, my dog, Uno, is enormous and could eat Pat's dog like an ice cream cone. Just one little fur ball on top of a waffle cone, and it would be gone. And they both love it.

They both love it. Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black created the answer for all of your dog's health needs, and that is Rough Greens. It has everything in it your dog needs and loves and will love to eat. It's rough greens. Just sprinkle it on the top and watch your dog go, go, go. Hitting Pat's dog, I'm going to put some in the bottom of a waffle cone, and it'll be a birthday present for good old Uno.

I'm going to tell you about it, and you don't want to miss out on it, but it's going to end here in the next couple of days. Tuttle Twins are on a mission to help families learn from history, and they're doing it with really great books for kids of all ages that teach about the kids.

history of this great nation. If we can just understand the stories and ideas that make America so special, we'll know how important it is to preserve our freedoms. Most textbooks don't teach these ideas to kids or the stories. They teach them the dates and the names and then they get the stories all wrong. To celebrate the release of their new book, the Tuttle Twins are giving one family vacation getaway to visit the historic sites around Boston.

of very very disturbing uh stories where do i even begin uh let me tell you about let me tell you about what is happening up in canada right now how could i have lost this stupid story well i'm just going to i'm just going to tell it to you i can't seem to find it right now um just had it um jordan peterson friend of the program friend of mine brilliant man you know him i know him we respect him you may not not agree with him. I don't know how you don't agree with him, but you may not agree with him. In Canada, the psychologist or psychiatrist's association has just sentenced him to re-education. They said he will lose his license if he doesn't go in for re-education classes.

And Jordan Peterson said, no, I don't think I'm going to do that. No, uh-uh. So instead, he's taking them to court. When this goes to trial, this is going to be earth-shattering one way or the other. They don't have freedom of speech like we have in Canada. Now, he says this is infringing on his basic rights. They do have some basic bill. of rights, which is ridiculous because it holds no water. But that's what he says. They say he's hurtful, hateful, and really, really doing bad things to people. Yeah, I mean, he's not cutting testicles off of little children, but apparently his words are very, very bad. This is a huge milestone. This is a mile marker. If he is

forced to go into re-education, to keep his job. We're in a different world gang in the West. We are in a completely different world. Let me give you next story. You know the statues that they were taking down? Statues in Virginia. The big huge statue of Robert E. Lee. They told us they were just going to take it down.

Then it would go to a, you know, a cemetery or in a museum or whatever. They've decided to melt it down and make it into something that's more educational and uplifting. So they're going to take this great work of art and melt it down. I think that's a milestone. I think that's another mile marker. It's what the Germans did.

The art they disagreed with, they took down and destroyed. By the way, I again don't know how if you're sane or rational or no, no, no, if you're just paying attention. If you pay attention, there's a lot of people who are so very wrong right now because all they're doing is listening to the mainstream media, which is lying to you, telling you that, for instance, Hunter Biden did no wrong. Well, you can do that, but there's no excuse for your stupidity now. There are too many sources out there that you can go to and get the facts. You can find them yourself online. But now we're silencing people. The left is the one that is banning speech.

Not the right. Anybody on the right who wants to take books out of a library, I'm not with you. Recategorize them. Make sure that inappropriate books are in a different part of the library, that's fine. When it comes to school libraries, I have no problem making sure that third graders can't get books that are sexually explicit.

There's no problem. It's not banning your book. I'm saying it's inappropriate for certain ages. Why does the left not understand that? You have the movie rating system. It's, you know that sexual movies, are not good for kids. That's why you don't even go R.

You have, what, it's not NR, what is it? What is the rated X version now? Is it N? NC 17. That's what it is. NC 17. No children. No children under 17.

Well, you know, we've hit another milestone. in Washington now, kids are getting, bringing home notes to their parents that say the school can keep their health records secret at the request of their children as of the age of 13. So I can't take my kid. It's not like my kid can go off and go into an NC17. I've seen people take kids into rated R movies. I cannot take my kid to an NC-17, but my kid can keep their health information away from me at 13. Well, you know what? If that's true, then my kid isn't on my insurance until they're 27. Because remember that argument? Got to be on the kids.

Kids are kids. And they've got to be on health insurance of mom and dad until 20. Wait a minute. That's not a kid. 27 is not a kid. Well, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't fully form. Oh, they don't fully form the way they're thinking until 26, but I can cut the twigs and berries off of a 13-year-old,

and they can make the decision. Makes no sense at all. So I'm going to give you one more story here, and it is a remarkable story. story of being silenced. I want you to keep in mind your kids now, if you're in Washington State, your kids can be in charge of their own health at 13 years old and they do not have to tell mom or dad. Jordan Peterson is being told he has to go to a re-education camp.

They are destroying those statues that they took down. It didn't just take him down. Now they're melting them down. Let me give you one more story. All of these are milestones. More in a minute. All right. Our sponsor of this half hour is Rough Greens.

Stephen in Indiana wrote in. He said, when I put a teaspoon of rough greens into my dog's food, she slowly sniffed it, walked away, then came back and devoured her entire bowl. Ever since that first day, she eats her entire bowl in one sitting. That is the same thing with Uno. That never happened before. She has been eating it a while now. Her coat looks great.

Her energy has increased and she sleeps better than she used to. Thank you so much, Rough Greens. Relief Factor, uh, wait, Rough Greens, why does it say relief factor here? Rough Greens is not a dog food. Relief factor definitely isn't. Rough Greens isn't a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.

you sprinkle it on the dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead food. Green food is what you need. You gotta eat your greens. It's filled with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants. You name it. If it's healthy, it's in rough greens. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident you're going to love it.

They're going to give you their first bag free. All you pay for is shipping. Just go to Roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833, G-L-E-N-N-33. That's 833, Glenn 33. 10 seconds, station ID. All right, so let me tell you a story that I read today that I was shocked by. And maybe you're going to be shocked by it a bit, or at least my take. It is written by a guy who probably doesn't agree with me at all.

David Valesco, he criticized Lenin in the Seattle Times. He no longer has a job. Now, why would you criticize Lenin? Why would that even come up? Well, I don't know in Seattle. Why would it? What was he talking about? He writes,

I was just fired from my job at the Seattle Times after defending Hitler. The only problem is I never defended Hitler. In fact, my family was hunted by the Nazis. My grandfather was a Nazi killer who later almost died in a concentration camp. And some of my best journalistic work has been exposing Neil. Nazi lies. But if you want to hear a story about intolerance in our country's most tolerant city and the erosion of civil discourse in American life, read on. I began my career as a university lecturer of English and logic, then drawn by the need to tell stories of structural oppression.

Oh, boy, we're not. I switched to journalism. I have been a journalist for the past 15 years and have spent almost all of my adult life in Asia, four years in Japan, six South Korea, three in China, one year traveling Southeast Asia, two in Nepal and India, where for a short period, I was homeless in Mumbai. But that's another story. My work is largely focused on East Asian politics and culture, everything from sexism in South Korea to the terrifying rise of Nazi Sheik in Mongolia. I wrote about North Korean refugees and Europe's racist opposition to the Syrian refugee crisis. While living in Israel, I wrote about the Israeli soldier who was held by Hamas for five years until he was released in a prisoner exchange in 2011. Perhaps the reason I'm drawn to these

hard stories in far-flung places is because my family background. After Vladimir Lenin turned Russia into one giant gulag, my family was scattered like leaves. My grandparents became refugees. They settled in Patterson, finally, New Jersey, and the rest of his life, my grandfather sent boxes of whole cloth, candles, paper, and other essentials to his beloved family who he could never see again. My work on their Ukrainian refugees resulted in more than one story, including a piece for the New York Magazine about the therapist who helped a woman find the strength to flee her home amid the explosions, saving her life and the life of her mother and daughter. I was never prouder of the work that I had done. About a year later, I'm recently now moved from

rural Georgia from my wife's native Peru. I received a job offer from the Seattle Times to be an editorial board member and columnist. Our entire family had moved to Georgia together, including my parents, my brother, his wife, so it was a tough call. But after consideration, we sold our house. My wife and baby daughter flew to Seattle and I drove the moving truck. I knew Seattle only by reputation, the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest, a vibrant Asian community, a strong Latino community too, so our daughter could grow up with Spanish-speaking friends and residents who routinely approved tax hikes to ensure those in need of help received it. There's so much to like and so much to sit down and talk to him about. I am a Democratic socialist and my wife is a DEI trainer.

Okay. Seattle fits for them. The job was rewarding from the first day I must say if reporting on the protection of orcas. And the efforts to improve the level of civil discourse in Congress. When Pride Month came, my family proudly marched the Seattle with the Seattle Times. What a beautiful new home, I thought to myself. How inclusive, how tolerant. How naive. Earlier this month for my first official column, my boss,

urged me to write about the local statue of Vladimir Lenin that stands in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. The good people of Fremont enjoy dressing them up in tutus, Halloween costumes, and the like. I was more interested in writing about the astronomical cost of child care in the city, but it wasn't hard to make a column all my own. I simply had to talk about my refugee grandparents making Pellamy, I don't know what that is, and Babushka. and my grandfather Joseph, the Nazi killer, who I am named after. I noted Lenin's secret police raids, his mass torture, forced resettlements, and genocidal killings. The column began by reflecting on Karl Marx's last words as a London-based correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune,

in which he attacked the hypocrisy of Westerners who defend sacred values only when it suits them. Huh, sounds familiar. In other words, it was about selective outrage, rather than, than the statue itself. I concluded by saying, I'm a democratic proceduralist. Didn't know what that was. It's somebody who supports a decision from the collective to, let's say, keep the statue. I like to call that a Bill of Rights constitutionalist. Readers thanked me. Some shared stories of their own families fleeing Russia or told me how their grandmothers broke down weeping when they reached America only to find a giant statue of Lenin staring down at them in the land of the free.

The critics said that no one actually takes the statue seriously. Isn't that weird? That's what the Church of the Antichrist, or what is it, the Church of Satan actually says, oh, no, we're just, it's not serious. The day after my column was published, I received my first response. Seattle Times so desperate for a new staff that they hire folks from rural Georgia for their editorial board. We don't need more faux outrage, another reminded us. The Soviets single-handedly defeated Nazi Germany, and that statue was just a funky piece of art.

Still another. You miss the point. It's a joke. No, it's not. I also received a flood positive responses. People shared family stories and photos, a retired high school history, TV, said my piece was excellent blah blah blah blah blah blah so here's the thing he's he's being accused now of saying that he's uh you know praising hitler because he said in fact while hitler has become the

great symbol of evil in history books he too was less evil than lenin because hitler only targeted people he personally believed were harmful to society where lenin targeted even those he himself didn't believe were harmful in any way. Well, I mean, I guess if we're measuring evil, maybe, I guess. So anyway, he was saying this on Twitter, back and forth, getting into an argument, and the New York Times first, or I'm sorry, the Seattle, Seattle Times first called him and said, hey, you know, don't worry about it. You know, it's fine.

Then later that afternoon, the boss called and said, you're fired and he said what i'm fired you just said i was fine he said you have poor judgment and you're continuing to engage online and you shouldn't engage uh these people online well he said they're calling me a nazi um i don't know Nazis are kind of a bad thing i think i need to defend my family so now he's out of work it was his first article He's out of work. I feel bad for him. I feel bad for him because he's one of these guys who actually truly believes in these things that I don't believe in.

But he actually does. And he's been duped by his own side. He is the victim that you're going to see over and over and over again because there's no pleasing these people. You can never be DEI enough. you can never be ESG compliant enough. If you step out of line, and because this is a mob, if the mob decides that they want your head, they'll get your head.

And all of the corporations will bow down because they're all afraid of the mob or they're part of the mob. And I want people to understand clearly, I believe this exists on the right as well. You don't go along with the mob? Well, then you're out of the club. That's not American. On either side, that is not American.

But how does this mob really work? I mean, they've got to have a propaganda arm, right? Oh, they do. One you've never heard of. Next, the Glenn Back program. All right. By the way, we're going to talk about Hunter Biden coming up in just a little bit with Alan Dershowitz. I want to talk to you a little bit about pre-born.

They sponsored this ad, and what I'm about to tell you is real and is happening. The abortion pill accounts for over half of the abortions committed in the U.S. More than 1,000 children die in this way every single day. Deborah is a girl who walked into one of the abortion clinics. First she went into, you know, another clinic like Planned Parenthood, found out that she was pregnant. She scheduled an abortion. Then a friend said, no, go to preborn.

So she went to a preborn clinic. She got an ultrasound. This caused her great distress. But she still felt trapped, didn't know what to do. She took the abortion pill. She gave birth to a child and brought it back to Preborn and she was just a mess. Please, can you help this madness stop? Donate now at Preborn pound 250.

It is a god of wealth and a god of fame, a god of a carnal buffet, all you can eat. It's a God that promises everything with no hardship, no work in return. Just do, as that God says. It's a God that promises punishment for all those who stand against or speak against its God or its doctrine. It's the God of the earth, and the earth.

over man and man over man. Our gods have high priests now, scientific experts who in their scientific way will only accept into their monastery those who agree with them completely, totally, without hesitation. The rest face a ritualistic inquisition where if you repent, repent, you may survive. But even if you do repent, most times, you're sacrificed or run out of society to fend for yourself good luck no job no bank no friends you're set out to a leper colony good luck there are many faces this to this religion but the two main branches of this religion is LGBTQ and climatism climatism the most important high priest of climatism is the subject of my latest book, Dark Future.

Like any good priest, Swab knows his religion inside and out. He knows the right terminology. He uses a ton of virus contagion pandemic metaphors. He constantly conflates climate change with a medical crisis. He's talked about COVID as being connected to the climate. air pollution, diseases that come from animals. He talks about climate change as, quote, the environmental virus. In his book, The Great Narrative, which was a sequel to his book, The Great Reset, he even talks about the importance of turning a big idea into a viral narrative, which, quote, takes off and becomes contagious, making its way into policies as well as business and investors' decisions. So he's mixing climate change and virus-related terms in a way that's not an accident.

The reason why is because he credits the development of all of this philosophy on climate change to Bill Gates. And as a result of that philosophy, Schwab's economic forum became the key influencer in the ESG movement. The World Economic Forum developed ESG metrics under the guidance of Brian Monahan. Who is he? He's the CEO of Bank of America and the chairman of the WEF International Business Council. So Schwab has probably done more to enshrine ESG as part of climatism religion. But remember, ESG starts with the confessional box. Confess your sins. Or we will assign the sins to you. For Schwab and the WEF, ESG is the yardstick for stakeholder capitalism, and he's devoted

himself to making ESG a political issue. His partners in the global ESG project help maintain the smokescreen that it's really, no, it's just about, you know, good-hearted people, just want to save the planet. BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink, said, stakeholder capitalism is not politics. It's not social or ideological. It's not woke. It's all of those things. Whenever you hear these people say, it's not this, I can guarantee you it is that. For Schwab, what makes climate change such a powerful weapon in the ESG arsenal? That is terror for the global power elite, keeping people terrified of climate change is the perfect tool for raw power. and it will affect everyone.

No matter you agree or not, you will comply. Listen to this. He writes in the great narrative, societal pressure and rising activism will accelerate at a pace which companies embrace stakeholder value and will force the reluctant ones to convert to the cause. Societal pressure, meaning you look down your nose at somebody. You block them off.

You cut them off. And rising activism. You boycott. You get in their face. It will force the reluctant ones to convert to the cause. Al Gore has choice words for those who don't convert to the cause. Listen to this from Meet the Press. You know, the climate deniers are really in some,

ways similar to all of those almost 400 law enforcement officers in Uvaldi, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massured. They heard the screams. They heard the gunshots and nobody stepped forward. And God bless those families who suffered so much. And law enforcement officials tell us that's not typical of what law enforcement usually does and confronted with this global emergency what we're doing with our inaction and failing to walk through the door and stop the killing is not typical of what we are capable of as human beings wow i mean who would have tied global warming to the evaldi shooting well al gore did and i'll explain that in a second the u.n. secretary general called climate change

a real emergency. And so the IPCC comes out with a report, which is the religious text. And the reports are accepted, promoted as gospel. In fact, the UN Secretary General called it a survival guide for humanity. Yet the IPCC reports are wrong. In 2001, their version claimed that there would be a decline in the severity of snowstorms worldwide. That didn't happen. 2007, prediction a lack of rainfall around the world that would reduce crops up to 50%. Huh, didn't happen. 2018 gave humanity just 12 years to avoid devastating global warming. Safe bet that number is going to be adjusted over and over and over again.

The reason why climate change, D.I, all of these things are happening is because of the media. Now, let me tell you something you probably don't know. Have you ever read any story and went, what? Left-handers are a cause of climate change? What? How does that happen? Well, in part, thanks to an organization called Covering Climate Now. This is a Gerbils-style propaganda unit.

They were founded to insert climate change into every story, no matter what is. it's about. CC now helps news media, quote, cover the defining story of our time with the rigor and urgency it deserves. C.C. Now. It was co-founded in 2019 by the Columbia Journalism Review and Nation magazine. They now have over 460 media partners, including Reuters, Bloomberg, CBS News, MSNBC, NBC, Telemundo, PBS, Univision, and Al Jazeera. But they have 460 of these in total. CC Now's co-founders say they believe their project is, quote, the biggest effort undertaken to organize the world's press around a single topic.

That is an ad agency at best. but because it is working with news departments to put the message in every single story it can find it is gerbils propaganda it is a well-financed concerted effort to convert you into the church of wokeism This is why you must not trust the mainstream media. They knowingly are accepting propaganda interference with their stories. They are being told how to shape stories. There is no one here at the Blaze that is told how to shape a story. There is nobody here at the Blaze that talks to me about my show.

There's nobody that talks to anybody about any opinion. That's why sometimes we vehemently disagree with each other. But we watch each other's back, even though we disagree, because we believe in the Bill of Rights. We're not scheming and looking how to insert something in every single story to get you to believe some overall lie. even an overall truth. We're not doing that. The mainstream media is. I'd love for you to join the Blaze, if you will.

Just join us now. You get a 30% discount, dump Fox. By the way, Fox has stopped matching the Satanic Temple for charitable giving for their employees. What a coincidence. It happens just a few days after we. We say that it's going on. And in fact, I don't think you can even give to the satanic temple. You can give to Planned Parenthood, I'm sure.

I'm sure that's still there. We should find out what else is still there. I mean, because it wasn't just that. It was also really big LGBTQ, one of the groups that is actually spearheading, putting trans women men and dresses into our schools. Yeah, I guess I wonder if you can still. give to that back in just a minute when you're trying to work through a buying of us or selling of a home one thing uh is is really difficult just selling it then buying one it's time consuming you need somebody who is not only knowledgeable about the whole process from the beginning to the end but also works

hard and has your best interest in mind and if you're selling across the street you can have the same kind of you can have the same real estate agent if you are selling across the country you need two of them and you need them kind of working together we work with the top sellers we work with the top human beings these agents are pillars of their communities they are the kind of folks that you would trust in a handshake deal many of them are fans of the program and uh you'll have something in common most most of the clients walk away going wow i have kind of a new friend or a new welcoming committee here in town. If you're trying to buy or sell a home right now or both, reach out. We'll put you in touch with an agent in your area. You're going to be really happy that

you did this. Do your own homework. It's real estate agents.itrust.com. This is my company. Real estate agents. I trust.com. Glenback. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. There's a couple of big stories. We're going to hit Hunter Biden. It looks like Justice actually played a role yesterday. And then I'm going to have Alan Dershowitz explain exactly what happened. But it is justice. She said, this is not constitutional. And this is a, this is a show. Usually the, the prosecution is against the defendant. And right now, that's not what's happening. You guys are in this together. No, that's not going to happen in my courtroom. It was, it was, it was really good news yesterday

if you're on the side of the Constitution and Law and Order. Also yesterday, and this really hacks me off, Mitch McConnell, he just, do we have the videotape of that by any chance? Yeah, we do.

He just stopped talking for, I don't know, about 20 seconds. Listen to this. In cooperation and a string of now he's just standing there. staring. Standing there just staring.

He's just like frozen in place. And nobody's really doing anything. Like you said, over 20 seconds of this, it's just bizarre. What has happened here? Now somebody got a hand on his shoulder. He's not recognizing it. There, he just snapped out of it. Is there anything else?

Can you go back to your office? And off he goes. And he just waddles off. Okay. Still not communicating at all. Here's the thing. Wow. We are seeing too many, too many things that are not normal and we're just treating them like they're normal.

Young, really athletic kids dropping dead. I know that happens, but it doesn't happen this much. No, it should be super rare. Think of how small the celebrity group is, okay, compared to the rest of the United States. So that's a sub, sub, sub, subsection of the United States population. Think of how many famous people we know that this has happened to in the last three years where I don't remember it happening. I know it did, but I don't remember it happening because it would happen like once. We're seeing far too much of that and dismissing it as normal.

The second thing we're seeing is elder abuse, absolute elder abuse or unbelievable arrogance. How can we say that Joe Biden is not fit to serve because he does that and he's like that and then not say anything about Mitch McConnell? Have to. Not on this, not on this program. We're going to be consistent. That's elderly abuse at best. That is a horrific grab of power and arrogance at the worst. Somebody, somebody, somebody.

By the way, do I have to say this to my friend, Pat? Hey, Pat, if I ever just stop talking for 20 seconds in the middle of a sentence and you know that I'm vacant, that I'm gone, would you please take me to the hospital, no matter what I say after I come to? Yeah, yeah, I think I would. Yeah, that's not normal. Yeah, that's not. Okay, good. Thank you. Do we need to tell our representatives that that's what they should do when somebody does that?

The guy hit his head recently. He's clearly, clearly not good. He's clearly unhealthy. Mitch, it is time for you to go home. We're seeing too many young kids drop dead and too many old people in Congress and in the White House acting like nothing's wrong when none of us would give them the keys to our car.

Every time you do, you're helping big banks contribute money to leftist causes. La Raza, Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, ACORN, even the Clinton Foundation. Gee, I never got a thank you note for my contribution, because if I would have, I would have said, I never contributed. Oh, yes, I guess I did.

Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Wow, there was a judge that I think has actually read the Constitution that popped up on the screen yesterday. Joe Biden, or Hunter Biden, did not get the plea agreement. This opens things way up. We're going to get the reason and the speculation on what this might mean going forward from Alan Dershowitz in 60 seconds.

The fight against leftism and all the dangerous things it stands for has only begun. Our victories and our losses serve as the forge in which our character as conservative, constitutional-loving people is shaped and tested. I remain committed to the fight for the Bill of Rights.

Alan Dershowitz is joining us now, Harvard Law School, Professor Emeritus, and the host of the Dershow, and don't forget, the author of Get Trump. Alan Dershowitz, how are you, sir? I am doing great. The judge did the right thing yesterday, and guess who predicted it? I predicted over and over then that he would not accept this plea bargain. Of course, CNN said, of course she has to accept the plea bargain. What are you talking about? It's Dershowitz again. He's staying all kinds of things. Well, you know, CNN always gets it wrong because their predictions are based always on wishful thinking. They wanted the judge to accept plea to

so they said she would. I'm not any smarter than the people on CNN. I just don't allow my preferences to influence my predictions. My predictions are based on my 60 years of experience. with the law and I saw deep flaws in this plea bargain and I said and I said it over and over again, she wouldn't and she shouldn't accept this plea bargain and she didn't. How brave of that was her was this, Alan? Pretty brave, pretty brave. You know, she gets flack because she was the so-called Trump appointee, but she wasn't a Trump appointee. As you know, the way judges get appointed when you have two senators in the state,

from a different party, the senators basically make the decision. Now the president can veto it, but she was essentially appointed by the two Democratic senators and Trump alike. So, you know, she's a young and courageous, a woman. Both sides wanted this deal to go through. The Justice Department wanted their kind of secret deal. We never saw the plea bargain. We never saw what was entail.

I just smelled the rat, but we didn't see it. And she said, no, no, no, wait a minute. does this plea bargain mean he can't ever be investigated again for other crimes you know and we don't know whether the investigation was limited to delaware the smallest state in the union or whether weiss david weiss was allowed to go to the district of columbia allowed to go to los angeles to ukraine to china to follow the money and if he wasn't the plea bargain should never be accepted so she kind of delayed it she said until you to uh clear this up, I'm not going to hear it.

But one of the problems I thought she had was there was no adversarial feeling between the two parties. You know, for our system to work, it has to be adversarial. Doesn't mean it needs to be nasty, but adversarial. One side is pushing for the law. The other one is pushing for the client. And they didn't have this. They got into this deal together. And they should have had a third part.

whether it in the form of an, you know, an amicus brief, a friend of the court brief, somebody should have said, we're there on behalf of the American people. Justice must not only be done, it must seem to be done. You know, the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy instructs judges and says two things to them. Number one, don't take bribes. That's obvious. But that's the second. The first one is Lothakir Panim. That's the Hebrew for don't recognize faces.

don't do justice on who the person is. That's the origin of the famous statute of justice with the blindfold. It's not Greek literature. It's the Bible that says be blindfolded. Don't look at race. Don't look at class. Don't look at gender. Don't look at politics.

Don't even look at the person. Don't peek under the blindfold. Do justice based only on the law and the facts. It has to be the same justice. administered to everybody, and that's a biblical command going back how many thousands of years, and the judge finally did that. We are so lost. This actually gave a lot of people a lot of hope, because unlike CNN, I just assumed from the way things are always going now,

that it was going to go through, and it didn't. And that gave me a hope that, wait, there is some independence here. there are some people that understand the rule of law and gave me a great deal of hope. What does it mean going forward? Well, I would say it gave me a little bit of hope. I think you have too much hope. I think she will ultimately accept the deal. She will eventually accept the deal with a few modifications.

What they'll agree to is, no, he can't be prosecuted for any other crimes unless the evidence was not available now, or he tried to suppress it, or the crimes are very, very serious, but there'll be an agreement, and I think she'll accept the agreement. I don't think she should, but I think she will. She should call Garland. She should call Weiss, put them under oath and say, look, Garland, you say he had the authority to investigate anywhere in the country, including District of Columbia and Los Angeles. He says, no, he was restricted to Delaware. Who is right?

I have to know that before I accept the deal. That's what she should do. I suspect she won't do that. why I think she's I think she feels she's done what she has to do she doesn't have a roving commission to do justice she has to deal with what are called cases and controversies and generally judges just to resolve disputes between the parties but here as you said there are no disputes between the parties the parties both agree that there should be a plea bargain of this kind, which if it involves only these two crimes, is not a sweetheart deal.

If you only were late in your taxes and didn't fill out of form properly for guns, yeah, that's the right sentence. But if they didn't investigate Burisma, if they didn't investigate what's going on in China, then it's not an appropriate plea bargain, and then it really is a sweetheart deal. So can I ask you, and I'm not asking you, I'm not asking for a legal thing. Always innocent until proven guilty I get. But I'm not saying that the president is guilty. I'm saying it looks really bad for the president.

If I were just going on these facts, it has to be investigated properly, not some witch hunt. But the evidence that is out is a little overwhelming. It's much more than I think we had on Nixon. it's a little overwhelming and it's beyond Nixon to me Nixon was a break in it was the cover-up that was the real problem here we not only have a extensive cover-up but we might also have taking money from foreign adversaries this is really bad am I reading this wrong you know you're reading the evidence that's been offered correctly. What we don't know is whether it's true.

You know, whistleblowers, just because they're whistleblowers, doesn't mean they're telling the thing. I know. And so the issue was Joe Biden sitting next to Hunter Biden when he made that threatening extortionate demand, we have to find that out. Was he on the phone 10 times? Are there recordings? I mean, if I'm the prosecution, I don't.

tell the other side whether there are any recordings, let them testify under oath without knowing whether there are recordings. That's the best way of getting the truth. If you don't know whether there's a recording, you're going to tell the truth. If you know there's no recording, well, you know, you can remember things in an innocent way. You can't do that if you believe this recording. I don't know whether there's a recording, and I don't know whether or not they think there's a recording on the Biden side. But there's a lot of investigation. Would you have to be done? Would you agree that we are at least, I mean, the New York Times and CNN and everybody else still saying, there's nothing here. Why are we even talking about this?

I, maybe you're right. I was like this with Donald Trump. I was willing to investigate. I want to know what happened. I want a real investigation. You would agree that the New York Times and all those guys are wrong by saying, there's nothing here? Yeah, except there's nothing new about that. the New York Times and CNN.

On these issues, okay, all right. From the very beginning. Look, it's one word to generalize about most Americans, Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, Christians, Jews, Muslims, it's skepticism.

Prove it. Show me. I'm not sure. That's the American way. We don't accept things because somebody said it, whether it's because the President, United States, or a whistleblower said it. Show me the facts.

What we need is special counsel appointed, and it has to be appointed with the coordination of Republicans and Democrats alike. It has to be somebody who is above reproach, perhaps a former Supreme Court justice, a former president of a university, somebody who can really look into this, who doesn't care, has no horse in the race, doesn't have an interest in a particular outcome,

and that's what we haven't had up to now. Alan Dershowitz, I'm going to take one minute and then I want to come back and talk to you about something else that's going on that I think most of America doesn't understand or isn't paying attention to. And it is very important. We'll get to that here in 60 seconds with Alan Dershowitz. There is nothing better when one of those.

I am a fan and at least an acquaintance of B.B. Netanyahu. Just to set this up, where do you stand on B.B. Netanyahu? I've known him since 1970 when he was a young American student whose name was at that time Benjamin Natai. He was an MIT student. We met in 1970. We were both doing a broadcast for PBS about Israel and we have been close friends for 53 years I have never been to Israel without having dinner with him and Sarah I regard him as a close friend he regards

me as an advisor and a close friend I don't agree with all of his politics I met with him when I was in Israel recently and try to persuade him to slow down on the judicial reform I approve of some of the aspects of the judicial reform but not all of them okay so help me out and see if I have this right because they're now talking about civil war. And I think a lot of this is, is, it's ridiculous. It's hyped up by the left, in my opinion. But I want to make sure I'm right, because I don't understand the government of Israel, you know, I'm an American. But they don't have a constitution, is my understanding. And they do. They don't have a written constitution. They don't

have a written constitution, but like Great Britain, they have a constitution, the constitution. We're used to written constitutions, and most countries have them. But Great Britain has a constitution. They teach constitutional law. The House of Lords will strike down statutes from the House of Commons on the ground that they're unconstitutional. The Constitution in England is the Magna Carta, the early Bill of Rights, the statutes that have been in existence for hundreds of years and the same thing is to choose Israel. They have what it called basic laws, which are a substitute. It would be better to have a constitution. I've been working on trying to get a written constitution for Israel literally in 1970, but it hasn't happened yet.

I can't even imagine not having a written constitution. We have one, and it's still bloody. Okay, so he is saying that, as far as I understand, that they have, the judges can't just rule arbitrarily. They have to pin it to some sort of constitutional law, otherwise it's just a political body. Is that true? That's right. That's absolutely true. And what happened is the Supreme Court, under my other very close friend, who have notes in 1966, Aaron Barack, who is the president of the Supreme Court, he helped devise the concept of reasonableness or extreme unreasonableness, and they would strike down the actions of administrators, the legislative, the legislature, the legislature, the military, if they felt they were extremely unreasonable. Now, extremely

unreasonable is a vague open-ended criteria. Reasonable people could disagree as to whether it should be used or not. But it's not something to have street demonstrations over. It's not something for the military to say we won't serve, for doctors to say we won't serve. It's an internal dispute in Israel that should be resolved democratically. Sure, protests are good. Our First Amendment provides for the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, which means peaceful protests. Now, the good thing is that the protests in Israel have been peaceful compared to those in France and compared to those done by Black Lives Matter in the United States. They've been peaceful, but they've been very angry. And I don't think that the protesters are

justified in doing some of the things they're doing. Here's what I think, Beebe is thinking. He's very smart. He's very clever. He wanted to get through this first provision about reasonableness. And he did. He was voted. He's voted 64 to 50-something or other. Now I think he's going to take a pause. The Knesset is at a session until fall, and I think he's going to try very hard to come to an accommodation. I'm part of that process. I've been working closely with the President of Israel. He's also an old friend, Isaac Kurtzog, Buzi, we call him. I've been working with Bibi. I've been working with others to try to achieve some kind of a peaceful compromise resolution, which is what is absolutely essential here.

And I have a hunch we're going to get it. Are there, am I right in the reading of different opinions, that there is large money that doesn't necessarily, that is not necessarily in it for the peace and love and understanding one another and bringing people together, that there is a force in here that is trying to break Israel apart and break Benjamin Netanyahu? Well, I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know any facts that support that. I wouldn't be surprised. Certainly Iran has already said Israel has been weakened. Hamas has already said Israel has been weakened. You know, today is a very important Jewish holiday. It's called

Tisha B'av, the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Ab, and it was the day that the Second Temple in Jerusalem, was destroyed by the Romans in 70 or so A.D. And of course, Jesus went to that temple. That's where he threw over the desks of the money lenders. That temple was very important, both to Christianity and to Judaism, and it was destroyed, and today is the day we celebrate. If I'm a little breathless, it's because I'm fasting. As a Jew, I fast on this holiday.

It's a fasting holiday. And it's a holiday that commemorates the fact that the temple was destroyed, because Jews were attacking each other because Jews couldn't agree. And this is a day that I think Israelis should commemorate by getting together and agreeing and having compromises. That's what I've been interested in. And I hope I can help bring that about. And I know that DiB.

Naginio wants to bring that about. And I know that there are people, some on the left, who want to bring that about. The problem is the extremism on both sides, as often as the case, are benefiting. from the animosity to strengthen when there is controversy. The same way that is true in the United States and in both countries. We're so much better off moving somewhat to the middle. I have more in common with centrist conservatives than I do with radicals on the left. I'm a liberal, a true liberal and a true conservative, have a great deal in common.

Small government limitations on power, do process, free speech. And that's the points we ought to emphasize. Yeah. Alan, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Name of the book is, thank you. Get Trump. You can get that now.

The effort to destroy Trump, just get him. Get Trump and the host of the DIR show. A guy who I don't always agree with, but a guy I think I have more in common with as well, with some members of the, Republican Party even. Alan Dershowitz back in a minute. The Glenn Back program.

More on the impeachment of Joe Biden and what happened yesterday with his son Hunter from Representative Greg Stuby from Florida. We do that coming up in just a second. Stand by first.

I want to take you back to January 6th and the police officer that was brutally beaten. In fact, here are a couple of interviews with him right after January 6th. I got hurt. I got her. I would do it again if I have to. It's my job. It was very scary because I thought I was going to lose

my life. When I came in, she wanted to hug me. And I told her, no. Because I was covered I was covered in pepper spray. My hands were bleeding. Still, I couldn't even sleep because I went, took a shower.

And instead of help, helping that re-inflamed the chemicals. It had soaked through your clothes. Yes. Took a bath of milk. That ain't helped. Here's another cut. I, too, was being crushed by the other riders.

I could feel myself losing oxygen and recall, thinking to myself, this is how I'm going to die, defending this entrance. Stop. I, that is, Pretty hard to hear. Pretty hard to hear. Now, Julie Kelly is a journalist, and she's been given analysis and commentary related to the weaponization of the U.S. Department of Justice. She writes on a substack, declassified with Julie Kelly. She also is given us some really unique looks at January 6th and the pending criminal indictments of Donald Trump. And Julie has just tweeted out earlier this week that that story, doesn't seem to fit. Do I have that right, Julie? You do have that right, Glenn. And thank you so much for having me on and sharing my work. So Officer Equinino Ginell, who you heard there, his sob story, has been one of what I call January 6th celebrity cop. So he was one of four police officers,

security guard, who testified during the very first January 6th, select committee televised hearing. The idea of that hearing was to make it sound like Trump supporters tried to kill police officers that day. And Ginell has been now for two and a half years telling his sob story, his near-death experience, that he almost died, injuries to his head, his hands, his shoulder, that his foot was crushed. Well, footage that was obtained by Joe Hanneman at Epic Times, I have to credit him. when I was looking at his coverage of what happened, actually happened to Roseanne Boyland. The first person who popped up, in my view, was Officer Gineau.

And so I zoomed in. It's like, well, I can't believe this is him. And there he is for seven minutes, as I should have in my piece. And on Twitter, walking around no indication of any injury, no sign of pain. He's actually kicking things aside with his feet. His hands are visible. There's no bleeding. There's no abrasions on his.

hands. His shoulders, both shoulders are mobile. He's taking off gear. He's bending up and down. He's moving things around. He's putting on a surgical face mask. No apparent size of pain or injury for seven minutes. But yet here he has been a key figure in promoting the idea that police were almost

killed on January 6th and that he was so grievously injured, Glenn, that he had to take medical leave for at least a year. and then only went back to partial duty due to his injuries and surgery. He claimed that he had because of those injuries. What else do you know about him, Julie? I don't know much. I know he is a veteran. I know he's an immigrant, I believe, from maybe the Dominican Republic.

That's really all that I know. But, Glenn, I also want to underscore his words and his claims are not without consequence. He has been a government witness in trials of January 6 defendants where he has taken the stand under oath and talked about his injuries that he suffered. He has filed victim impact statements and sentencing hearings for January 6 defendants talking about these serious injuries that were inflicted by Trump supporters. And he specifically says Trump supporters. He does not say protesters, rioters, Trump supporters. This has helped judges impose very long, harsh sentences against January 6th defendants. And in fact, in fact, when one federal judge, Trevor McFadden, specifically called out Officer

Ginell in his testimony in one trial and said that his testimony about his injuries were not credible and that he did not believe when Officer Ginell said he had been beaten with a stolen baton. So it's not just that he's talking on, you know, CNN, Jake Papper, or he's posting this garbage on Twitter. He is, he has said these things under oath, as I said, with dire consequences for defendants. Do you know, because I know you've been following all of the cases, and I would assume you know some of the attorneys just by following it, are they looking into retrying their, their, cases. I mean, this is information that the government had and didn't release. That seems like a miscarriage of justice. So well said, Glenn. And this has been a criticism of defendants now for more than two years that this Department of Justice and Capitol Police, by the way, have designated

all of this footage as highly sensitive government material. All of it has been under strict protective orders in court. And the government is really only turning over. footage to defendants that is case specific. So say in the case of Pat McCoy, where Ginell testified, they only saw footage of the defendant, the security video of that particular defendant. They didn't turn over or produce the video of Officer Ginell. And this is only one clip that we've seen. I'm sure there's other footage of him walking through the Capitol. And keep in mind, this is around 5 o'clock that day. This isn't before. the violence between protesters and police began. This is after it ended. So it's not like he went

back to another area of the Capitol and got beaten up by protesters. The building had been evacuated. The grounds were being evacuated. So yes, I believe that the two defendants where Officer Ginell testified and filed victim impact statements, they are on appeal. So I'm sure that this footage will be part of their appeal as to what the government was hiding. not just from the public, but from defendants and their attorneys. Right. So you're following greatly the weaponization of the government hearings that are going on. Do you believe that those move forward into anything of significance?

I'm not sure, Glenn. I was really hoping that there would be a separate January 6th committee. And we really need one for two reasons, to expose all of the lies and falsehoods that were promoted by the first select committee. And also to tell the American people the truth, to show them this video. I mean, I post this on Twitter and truth social, and I post it obviously in my work. And thanks to interviews like this, it's reaching a broader audience. But they need televised hearings. They need to fight back with what the January 6th Select Committee, because this is.

is the crux of the weaponization of the Department of Justice and this administration. January 6th is ground zero for turning the war on terror that once was against ISIS and Al-Qaeda, against conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters. So you can't talk about weaponizing government without fully exposing the truth about January 6th. What the Department of Justice is doing, concealing evidence, the lies that the that Congress has told to the American people and how the FBI is using its counterterrorism unit to continue, even this weak glance to people related to even minimal participation in the events of January 6th.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So, Julie, I think you could make a case that this is even more important than the Hunter and Joe Biden selling their country out for, well, their fellow country, I think they got 30 cents ahead for us. Can you compare the two? I guess, but I would argue that this is more important because everyone sort of knows nothing is really going to happen to Hunter Biden.

I think it's extremely useful what James Comer and the Oversight Committee and, of course, the Ways and Means Committee and these courageous whistleblowers from the IRS and FBI are talking about with these investigations. but January 6th is it's going to be a key issue in the 2024 presidential race, but it is still, the Department of Justice is still collecting victims. They're still collecting scalp. And so there's no, it is far, in my view, of course, far more important. The American people need to know what is happening, not just Department of Justice,

but in this courthouse, which is where Donald Trump's lawyers are today. as Jack Smith is now preparing a multi-count felony criminal indictment against Donald Trump for January 6th and could rope in attorneys, White House officials, and maybe even a few Republican members of the House. This is crazy. Thank you so much for everything that you do. I appreciate that you have just zeroed in on this and not let it go, Julie. Thank you. Thanks for having me on, Glenn. stack declassified with Julie Kelly. Check it out. Substack, declassified with Julie Kelly.

and then exited her vehicle where she brandished a knife and started yelling at drivers in other vehicles. The woman allegedly threatened to stab people with a knife and then began shooting a handgun randomly at cars and into the air. She also tried to get into other cars. One video of the woman was recorded from a vehicle that drove right next to her. She pointed her gun and shot once and then pointed the gun in the air. Here's what I'm just outraged by.

Drivers on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge began reporting the nude woman to 911. How do they know she's a woman? How dare you? What a great point. You don't know how she identifies and you would think in tolerant San Francisco. They would know that. I am sickened by that. Thank you, Pat. There is also a there's also another kind of bizarre story that I'm beginning to think more and more is just a cake or circus for people to, uh, look at. It is the testimony yesterday in Congress about UFOs. Yeah. Yeah, you would think at any other time in American history, finding out that the U.S. government has dead bodies of alien people who crashed here,

you would think that'd be a major, major story, wouldn't you? Yeah, I just, I would like to repeat. what you just had. There was testimony under oath yesterday from apparently a very credible source that he has witnesses

of the dead bodies and the flying saucers that we have, are flying cubes as he describes them, that we have collected over the years. And these people who collected them

are still alive and in the service. So if that's true, that's pretty big news. And we reverse engineered some alien technology, according to him. Those are both. That's all pretty big information if it's true. And nobody's even talking about it. Kind of. And we talked about it on my show today, people were kind of chastising us for not paying attention to the main stuff. Well, no, we're talking about that too. But are you saying we shouldn't talk at all about this? This is huge news.

So here is my, here's my feeling on this. I am more and more convinced that this is a red herring. Yeah. And I think it might be. Because this guy is, this guy is, quote, a very trusted high level intelligence officer. Well, we heard a lot from those guys about the Hunter Biden laptop. So, you know, and he already had said exactly what he said in front of Congress in an article published by, I don't remember, World Net Daily or somebody. And then he goes and he testifies, but there's no new information in the testimony.

I think we have spent enough time on his testimony for today. We talk about the real news of the day coming up. Is Joe Biden going to be impeached? Congressman Greg Stuby from Florida joins us next. We're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. Well, yesterday started for Hunter Biden with, you know, I'm not worried about it.

We got this in the back. We've reached a deal. These two competing forces, the DOJ and the Biden family, oh, they argued it out. Hi, how dare you? How dare you offer that? I am not guilty. Yes, you are. We're going to put you in prison.

No, you're not. Yes, we are. And then they came up with this sweetheart deal that would ensure he never went to prison for anything that he's currently being investigated on. And then somehow or another, this evil judge came out and said, I don't find any of this in the Constitution. And this is a really weirdly worded plea agreement. I've never seen one like it.

It seems to wash him clean of everything he ever might have done. I've never seen one like that before. Why? By lunchtime, Hunter Biden was like, what do you mean, man? What do you mean? By the end of the evening, Hunter Biden seriously needed a drink.

Or to go Zen and paint some other $850,000 paintings. Didn't work out well for him. Now what does that mean? Impeachment? jail time. We go there in 60 seconds. Yeah, that's right, you sick, twisted freak. Our sponsor, this half hour is my Patriot Supply.

Have Greg Stuby on yet? Okay. Is he coming on or is he just late? Do you know? Okay. He's running a few minutes late, I'm told, by a voice that you cannot hear, but I hear voices all the time.

And that doesn't make me crazy. Pat Gray is with us and we were just talking as we were getting ready for Greg Stuby. I think, Pat, that there is hope that this is not going to end well for the Bidens. I'd like to be able to think that. I hope that's true. It's just hard to believe. You know, it's hard to believe. Because they've gotten away with this stuff for so long. It's like, okay, they're just, they're bulletproof.

There's a different set of standards. them and us listen to CNN last night here is the in front of the courthouse here's what they were saying so the judge said that she could not accept the plea agreement as it was structured remember there was a plea agreement where hunter Biden would plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and then a diversion on a felony gun charge well the judge taking issue with both of them saying that on the plea agreement related to the tax charges she was saying that she this agreement as structured just had her as what she said a rubber stamp it did not allow her to weigh in on whether she thought that the plea was acceptable she had

questions about that and wants both sides to brief on that also on the gun diversion she had questions about how that deal was structured because it inserted her in the process if Hunter Biden breached the terms of this agreement and the government had an issue that they wanted the judge to act as a neutral arbiter okay so she goes on and on with this and there's so much more than that she the judge said it looks like you to are cozy and I've never seen a plea deal like this and this washes him clean of everything is that your understanding the Biden administrations or the Biden

lawyers said yeah that's our understanding and Department of Defense or Department of Justice said no no I don't think so so is anything going to happen we have Representative Greg Steuben on with us now he is a congressman from Florida, and he is one of the two that are really pushing to get the House to move to impeach Joe Biden. Hi, Greg. How are you? Hey, good. How are you? Thanks for having me on. You bet. So what is the mood in Congress for these hearings and impeachment? Well, you started to see the speaker actually talk about this, which I think is a great move forward,

because a lot of us have been clamoring for impeachment for quite some time. But through these different investigations, all of this evidence now that is mounting, evidence after evidence that Joe Biden was involved in the business deals with Hunter Biden, was receiving financial information. Oversight committee did subpoenas on the financial information. We're waiting on some of that. But through some of that, we've been able to ascertain that it's like $20 or $30 million that the Biden family has received through four actions,

that obviously at the time vice president, but some of these actions he's done while he's been president, Senator Grassley just released a form from the FBI that showed the $5 million payment related to the Ukraine and Burisman issue. I think there's overwhelming evidence, having been a lawyer myself and been a prosecutor in the JAG Corps. So we're actually drafting our own impeachment resolution specifically on bribery crimes, corruption crimes,

because in my opinion, there's overwhelming evidence. of that now in the public sphere. And we're still doing these investigations. So there'll probably be more to follow. So, Greg, I am, I'm with you. I think there is overwhelming evidence. The Nixon trials went, you know, through the first term into the second. All of the accusations happened in the first term. He was reelected. Nobody wanted to talk about impeachment. The Democrats brought the impeachment back up. And it was eventually the turning of some of those Democrats in the Senate that were finally convinced, yeah, he did do this.

Do you sense any kind of even softening of the other side on, yeah, I'm not going to say this out loud, but that looks bad. I don't, you know, you obviously don't see Democrats going on the news in saying that they think that the president should be impeached. But what you're seeing is, and this is kind of shocking to me, frankly, is the mainstream media is actually, for the first time actually starting to report about these things. They're starting to report about the Hunter-Bind issues because it's such a pervasive issue now, and it is so evidentiary apparent that this was going on that they don't have a choice

but to report about it. So it's actually putting Democrats in very difficult positions. You've seen the plea deal with Hunter Biden now fall apart. And that isn't about Hunter Biden. about the information that can come from all of that, if that goes to trial through discovery of how Joe Biden's involved in that. You've heard the IRS whistleblowers testify directly. And these are the gentlemen who were part of the team that was investigating Hunter Biden and their foreign business dealings and all these tax issues that specifically said they had

evidence that the big guy and Joe Biden was involved and wanted to issue subpoenas and warrants on information and the DOJ shut them down. So as this starts to open up and you get more and more facts and evidence, I don't see how you as a Democrat couldn't at least have an open mind to the fact that you have somebody who used his position to enrich himself and his family. I haven't heard any of any Democrats talk about that publicly, but you can certainly see a softening, as you said, from some of the positions that they're taking and them trying to distance themselves from the administration on these issues. do what is the ramification of impeachment you know Donald Trump was impeached twice

but the last one was I mean I don't even think even anybody even noticed for the most part except for the mainstream media what are the ramifications of you guys pushing this through without control of the Senate yeah here's here's the political reality that we currently live in even if we're able to pass an impeachment resolution on the House floor, it goes to the Senate and you need 60 votes. So that's why I think the way that House leadership and the Republican leadership of the different committees, there's like three different committees because there's so many crimes that are being investigated, have doing the investigation to get the evidence before the

American people, to be able to convince 60 senators that this happened, here's the evidence that it happened, here's the specific crimes that were committed, and the overwhelming evidence that there were crimes that were committed. And I think that will push members in the Senate to be like, look, regardless of party affiliation, you can't allow somebody to use their position to be bribed that is affecting national security, to be corrupted where they're getting financial benefit from being in office. So hopefully we will do a good enough job in the House laying all this evidence out before the American people and the senators, and they'll see when we preside our case if we can get it past the House. committed and there needs to be ramifications for that crime. I mean, the Democrats impeach Trump

for a phone call to a foreign leader. And in my opinion, this goes way beyond Watergate of the things that we have evidence of now. I think this is the most dangerous corruption I have seen in an Oval Office. And, you know, I know the history of our country and Grant and everything else. And this is the most dangerous because it is not just a cover up. It's not a small crime. This is a high crime. If you are selling access to your office as vice president or president, that is a high crime. Plus, with that, you have all kinds of other things. Because he is, has been able to cover this up. He has the Justice Department part of this deal.

Now that goes to then all of the weaponization of government. I mean, this is huge and never-ending. Yeah, I mean, you think about, you know, why would Merrick Garland play defense in the Department of Defense, Director Ray and the FBI by stalling and stonewalling, all of these different investigations, all to protect Joe Biden, Biden and the things that have happened.

I mean, some of these go back to 2014. Some of these go back to, I'm sure, if you kept digging even more, probably when he was in the U.S. Senate. And as you get more facts and evidence, why would Merrick Garland, Director Ray, why would these other individuals put their lives on the line? And I wholeheartedly believe that both of them are obstructing the administration of justice by not allowing the investigations to move forward the way they should be moving forward. I mean, if this was Trump or myself or any other Republican member of Congress or any

conservative, I'd have been in prison a long time ago if we would have committed these crimes. And so the viability. And I would have been for it, Greg. I mean, if you do this, I mean, I was open to listen to the case. You know, we did our own homework. And I told my staff, I'm not looking to exonerate Donald Trump. I'm looking to find the truth. if he did things that he wasn't supposed to, we have to stand for impeachment. The same thing. I, I, we've looked into this with Biden and we have enough documents, I think, to impeach. We've looked into it and it wasn't to get him out. It was, let's find out what really happened here. And you have to impeach. Otherwise, otherwise you're not asking any honest questions in life.

You're just looking for something to guarantee that things continue to roll your way. Yeah, and not just the impeachment, but just take it a step farther, the corruption of the money that was paid by our number one national security threat to the safety and security of the American people, the Chinese Communist Party, was paying him off. And he is now the president of the commander chief of the military. And he's making decisions based on the compromising corrupt behavior that he has had in the past. and why did he let a spy balloon traverse over the entire United States before they shot it down? After it had to collected all the intel at nuclear sites, military bases. You have a corrupt president who we now have evidence that he has received money and his family has received money from the Chinese Communist Party.

And it's affecting the national security of America. So you've got the wall. Let's let's let's let's let's let you've got that. You, you not only have that. you also have Ukraine. He was wildly corrupt in Rome, Ukraine. Yeah. Yeah. But we're sending billions of dollars and we're talking about going to war. He's compromised. What are we thinking? This is so dangerous. Greg, thank you. Thank you for standing up for this. Go ahead. Well, I would just say, and we in Congress, especially on the Republican side, have asked for information of where this

money to Ukraine has gone because there is no guard rails when the Democrats were in control the $20 billion that we've sent to Ukraine of where that money is going and the accountability of where that taxpayer dollars have gone. And you can't tell me that the Bidens or some other people or there's corrupt entities that are getting money on that on the back end when they're refusing to have accountability of where that money is being spent. Of course, of course. I bet you 30% of it, maybe 30% of it actually got to where it was supposed to go. Congressman Greg Stuby, thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Thank you. You bet. Greg Stuby from Florida. A lot of good things in Florida. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is Mantis X. The Second Amendment exists for a very good reason. It's both your right to protect your freedom and safety and your responsibility to protect

your families. If you own guns, you need to be proficient at using them. That's really hard for a couple of reasons. One, ammunition is so expensive. If you have it, you don't want to waste it. And I say waste it. You're not wasting it when you're practicing. But when you need it, you need it.

So what can you do? The other thing is, it's hard for me, at least, to get to the gun range on a regular basis at all. getting instruction. That costs money. Get Mantis X. It solves all of these problems. You can do it anytime. You can do it at home.

You know, even at the office. I don't recommend it because, you know, you're actually using your gun. But you put a device on it. You dry fire. And you can aim at anything. And it will track how you're aiming, your trigger pull is, everything that you're doing with that gun. and it shows you what you need to correct in real time.

You can also take it to the range and use live fire and it will do exactly the same thing. It is truly like you having an instructor standing right in front of you just, well, not in front of you, besides you looking at the gun and how you're pulling that trigger.

That's mantisX.com. 10 seconds. Station ID. We had a great show last night on the Wednesday night special. If you missed it, go back and grab it. It was on the lies around global warming. And we tracked it all the way back to 18, what was it, 1898, I think, or 1896. And I didn't believe it.

I said, it's typo. right it's like nineteen eighty six they said no it's eighteen ninety six and i'm like what it goes back look at that the we're entering another uh ice age then you go to the l a times like four years later we're still around turn of the century uh and the l a times says no no it's actually heating up i mean they've been wrong new york times We've been wrong since 1896. This is a game that is being played, especially on the youth, trying to get the youth to destroy capitalism and to enslave themselves. You know, when you talk about 15-minute cities, if you don't know what those are, please pick up my book, Dark Future.

You talk about 15-minute cities where you walk right now, they are telling you, no, there are no. There's no such things as borders on people. There are no borders on people. I can guarantee you because in their own words, which we show you in dark future, they are telling you that you will go 15 minutes and, you know, depending on your score, et cetera, et cetera, whether you're allowed to leave your wonderful city. That's a little terrifying.

That's what it's all about. and the misdirection in the lies. We introduced you last night to an agency that I have never even heard of. It's a NGO that has decided to help our media, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, all of it, called covering climate now. And they are helping them write climate change into every story. That's why you read stuff and you're like, wait, you're blaming climate change on. what? It's this. It's a propaganda organization. It's Gerbils. It's crazy. Wow. I mean, the hatred that's coming out of your mouth right now and the ignorance. Yeah. It's outrageous. It's outrageous.

I know. So you're saying that everything isn't related to climate change? Is that what you're saying? Wow. That and racism. If it's not climate change, it's whiteness. Yes. Okay. That's for sure. One of those two. One of those two. All right, back in just a minute. The Glenn Beck program. Well, yesterday, the Federal Reserve decided to raise another quarter point, and they said, we're probably going to do it again. I'm probably going to do it again. Well, that's good. So they're tightening money, which means it'll be harder and harder for you to get the money. It'll be harder and harder for businesses to be able to afford a loan and get the money. So they're not really expanding or job creating. But don't worry. what he works now anyway, I hear.

And the other thing is it doesn't restrict the U.S. government from spending a billion times more than all of us combined would spend. Inflation is going to get bad.

Hello and welcome America to the Glenn Beck program. You know, we're talking a lot today about the deep state. We talk about Hunter Biden and the cover up with the DOJ. What's happening with the state security now that seems to be working against the protection of the rights of Americans. It is impossible to truly understand how dangerous that is and what's coming next. I truly believe that we are in a race against time.

what they are waiting for is all of the technology to catch up to make sure that cage is complete. I know that sounds crazy, but you will understand if you read the book Dark Future. Dark Future is also now out in the audiobook. So let me play a couple of clips from the audiobook here. This is about security systems and how to keep you in a cage. listen to this. In the coordinated entry system, CES, originally piloted in 2013 in Los Angeles, it uses data collection practices and algorithms to divide up resources and housing to as many homeless people as possible in the most efficient and equitable way. How does CES do this?

Well, in her 2018 book Automating Inequality, American political scientist Virginia Eubanks describes how the CES system works in detail. According to Eubanks, CES collects, stores, and shares some astonishingly intimate information about unhoused people. It catalogs, classifies,

and ranks their traumas, their coping mechanisms, their feelings, and their fears. As part of the CES system, Homeless people are asked questions like, Have you ever been sexually assaulted while experiencing homelessness? Have you ever had to use violence to keep yourself safe while experiencing homelessness? Have you ever exchanged sex or a place to stay?

CES then uses algorithms to generate a score for each person in the program. The score determines how needy each applicant is. Depending on demand, the lowest score applicants, are denied access to homes that they need. And if an applicant's score is high enough to necessitate housing, a second algorithm is used to match that person with a shelter that can best fit his or her needs. Wow. It's almost like that to each according to his need thing. Sounds familiar for some reason, huh?

What is frightening about this, had you ever heard of that, Pat, coordinated entry system? No, never. Yeah. This is, they're already starting to use it and track absolutely everything. Remember, it's your hopes, your fears, your problems. It's not just stats. It's also you. So how do you express yourself on social media?

This is, this is becoming part of your personal ESG score. This is the kind of stuff that puts you in a cage. because if you decide to speak out against global warming, you would decide to work for a company like, let's say, mine, your score is going to go down and you will lose, in some cases, like banking privileges. And if you think that's weird, make sure you sign up for my free email newsletter. There are two stories today from banks about banks debanking people because of their POV. NPRPOV was not a pro-pedophile. Let's just put it that way. Now, the second thing that you have to worry about on this is not just the machine, the algorithm, but who's putting it together? Because the elites will rule. In the minds of many Davos attendees, it is up to the elites and the powerful

institutions acting with the input from the best interest of those they lord over to ensure the transition to the next era of humanity is inclusive, except for those people that we have to kill, and respectful of the ideas that Klaus Schwab values so much, such as advancing globalism, and protecting the environment from people and climate change. This can only occur, according to Schwab, if we avoid totalitarian government interventions, as he would understand them, and if nations agree to move on. from this free market economics, which clearly is misguided with its emphasis on individuals. Look that for note.

Do you see the pattern here? I have been right about things like Osama bin Laden when I said in 1999, you mark my words, there will be blood bodies and buildings in the streets of New York, and it will have his name on it within 10 years. years. It wasn't 10. It was two years later. Um, why I, nobody agreed with me on the caliphate. I said a caliphate is forming. It will form. They are trying to reform a caliphate. No, that's crazy talk. You're an, you're an imbecile. How do I know these things? Because I take people seriously when they say they're going to kill or capture you. Always take them seriously. If you had a neighbor who is saying, leaning over the fence and like, hey neighbor, I'm going to kill you and your

family one day. You would take that seriously. Even if the cop said, no, he's joking. He's joking. If you took that as a joke every day when he said that to you just one on one, you're an imbecile. You're going to get your family killed. And so a responsible person would make sure that I have a big enough wall or I have security or I move. That's what you have to do when someone says they're going to kill or capture you. And that's what the ESG movement is. They are going to force you to conform. That means put you in a cage.

Here's the last cut from the audio version book of the book, Dark Fewski, This one is talking about engine number one, which was this small little group that changed everything at Exxon. Listen. Engine number one led a campaign to force Exxon Mobile, one of the largest oil and gas companies, to reduce its carbon footprint, which of course is intimately tied to the very same oil and gas it sells. This would be like going to McDonald's and demanding that it stops selling cheeseburgers. Of course, if many left-wing politicians have it their way, including Vice President Kamala Harris, cheeseburgers will probably be the next target on activists' hit list. According to a New York Times report about the campaign,

the tiny firm, engine number one, you can do it, wouldn't have had the chance were it not for an unusual twist. The support of some of Exxon's biggest institutional investors, Black Rock, Vanguard, and State Street, voted against Exxon's leadership and gave Ingen number one a powerful backing of support. When all was said and done, three of Exxon's directors were replaced because of their unveilingness to take a hard line on fossil fuels, y'all? Hey, you know, just because you're a fossil fuel company, and we're telling you to get out of fossil fuels, what's a problem, huh?

The Times further reported that in the wake of the ousting, engine number one instantly became a Wall Street name. The firm, among a new breed of shareholder activists, once driven by the idea that social good also benefits the bottom line, just as policy and public sentiment on the environment or involving, Chris James, the founder of Engine Number One, argued that he said, he was a Exxon's management wasn't making the needed changes fast enough. The firm convinced the mighty BlackRock, the Times added, we believe more needs to be done in Exxon's long-term strategy on reducing climate risk,

which threatens the shareholders' values. This is BlackRock, crying in a statement explaining why it is cited with engine number one. That is part of the new audiobook. there are a few ad libs. In fact, there might be whole paragraphs that are not in the printed book. You don't want to miss it. It is available wherever you get your audiobooks now. But it will show you the cage that is being built.

And it is why it is important that you know this. If you don't know this and you don't share this, the cage continues to be built. It is the same as if, well, when the FBI was shutting everybody down and saying it's a conspiracy, it's a Russian conspiracy on Hunter Biden's laptop, if they would have been able to keep that quiet, another couple of years, if they would have just charged him with what they charged him with yesterday and then made a sweetheart deal, right before. the election or after the election, it probably would not have been a big deal.

A lot of people would have said, hey, there's something wrong here. But now they're on the edge of losing it. So their cage building has to go faster, which means we have to wake more people up. Because once the American people truly wake up and see what's actually being built, a Chinese-style cage, for not just us the entire western world i told you at the beginning of this uh podcast that you have in canada jordan peterson now being required to take a uh re-education class because he's speaking politically incorrect things he's taken that to court and said there's no re-education camps here where that's a violence

of our charter as a country, but they don't have freedom of speech. But the fact that you have someone like Jordan Peterson in Canada being told you're going to lose everything, you'll lose your license and everything else, unless you go to this re-education camp should show you this is serious. We are on the road to China. get the book dark future wherever books are sold um in fact there is a special book store do i still have this yeah bookshop dot org this if you go to bookshop dot org you can buy it from small um retailers you know the people who are kind of just in it they're not the big box stores and i'd rather sell it to

local people um bookshop dot org and you can get the audio at audible or um you can get the audio at audible or Amazon wherever you get your audio books. Having fun yet, Pat? Oh, more than... He's not even... More than I've ever had in my life. Yeah. You're listening to old I miss shows, aren't you?

I just looked up. Engine number one. And I can't believe what they accomplished with so very little. Uh-huh. It's amazing. Yeah. It is amazing. Do you know that, you know, you just mentioned on the audio book, that they replaced four X on board members despite owning only 0.02.

So they got 200s of 1% of the company shares and they replaced four board members. That's unbelievable. Wow. That's right. Yeah, people need to pay attention by the book. Yeah, you really need. Yeah, you need to pay attention. Thank you so much. It's a dark future. Several months ago, Indiana native Troy began working out.

He found that he liked it. God knows why. But after too long, he started running as well. It wasn't long before he was running 5Ks. And then, you know how it goes. Next thing, you're, you're shooting up in a bathroom bus station. You know, it's, I mean, it's just like, anyway, he discovered that after running 5Ks, that his knees would start to swell every time he ran. It got so bad that he feared he'd have to stop. Fortunately, he heard about relief factor. Skeptical? Me too.

But he decided to give it a try. And sure enough, within a few weeks of starting to take it, Troy's knees felt fine. Pain was completely gone, he said, and it stayed gone ever since. Oh, God. He's probably out there running today. Stupid 5K. Why? It's like a balloon ride.

They have to pick you up at the end. I did it have anyway three week quick start it's only 1995 it's a trial pack it's not a drug but developed by doctors hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor and about 70% of them gone on to order more

the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. You noticed Glenn that Vivek like cake is gaining a little bit of momentum. People are starting to notice him. I have. Yeah. Yeah, I have. I like it. I really like it.

He's great. I don't know a single issue on which we disagree. Have you heard one? Because everything he says makes sense. He says it well. He's so well spoken. so smart. And he's also a, you know, several-time serial entrepreneur.

Yeah. So he knows his business. He knows how to run large companies. And his viewpoints are such a breath of fresh air on how do you break up the deep state? Well, they work for the president. If they don't, then they're in violation of the Constitution. And if they work for me, well, then I can fire them. Otherwise, I'm held hostage by my staff and they control everything.

I mean, he is different, refreshing. I really like him. Really like it. He's the only one. My guess. He's the only one that's saying that he's going to shut down, like the Department of Education, for instance. I don't know anybody else who is making that claim that when they get in, one of the things he's going to do. Yeah.

I think Donald Trump has said. things like that. I think DeSantis leans that way, but he's not saying it. Therefore, you're not saying it. I don't think you're going to do it. But I think Vivek

and Donald Trump, 2024, I think that would be, because he's going to speak, Vivek can speak to the youth. And by the way, we have Federman, we have Feinstein, we now have a Republican,

Mitch McConnell and the president, all of them, all of them are sick or old and need to leave Washington.
