Hey,

What things are going to look like if we don't fix things, and how you don't have to worry about that if you're prepared and doing the right things.

Also, RFK Jr.

came out and announced a big change when it comes to the COVID vaccine in children and good.

We need to focus on, you know, actually eradicating these illnesses that children are suffering from.

And he also said

no more gender assignment surgery anymore.

And it is a, it's probably the biggest step, concrete step,

in healthcare I've seen in a long, long time.

Also, should Joe Biden's pardons be overturned because of the autopan?

All this and more on today's podcast.

If there's one thing we've learned in the, just in the last few years, is that the world doesn't send out a save the date before it falls apart.

Crisis, they don't call ahead.

They don't wait to get you,

well, let's wait and let's get you through this busy season to show up.

They show up when you least expect it, whether it's a cyber attack, a grid failure, supply chain,

any kind of collapse, or something that nobody saw coming.

If you don't have food on hand, you're relying on a system that

is proven time and time again that it will break.

My Patriot Supply is still running their Memorial Day sale.

It's one of the biggest of the season.

You can save up to 60% on their emergency gear that matters most.

Long-term food kits, water filtration systems, off-grid power sources, and so much more.

Preparedness is not panic.

It's peace of mind.

Now, let's get to work.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

So,

I don't know if you saw, don't know if you saw

that all of a sudden there's this big interest in cutting the debt and going with the Doge cuts.

And I saw these headlines come across yesterday afternoon, and I was like, whoa, wow, that's good news.

What's happening here?

No, it's not.

It's not.

It's just more of the same from these weasels

in the Republican Party.

Elon Musk announced that he is not going to be spending money in the elections.

He said, I think I've done my fair share.

And, you know, I don't know if it really even makes a difference.

So

all of a sudden, the Republicans who have been getting money from him are like, whoa, whoa, wait, Elon, we love you.

Those doge things you were doing, my gosh, we want more of that.

Were you thinking we weren't going to include that in the bill, in the big, beautiful bill?

Because we're ain't going a lot of that, right?

Right, guys?

Yeah, absolutely, Elon.

we love you it's so slimy it's sickening but if that's the way they get to cuts i'm all for it the doge cuts are the easiest cuts to make and we must send a signal to the rest of the world that we are serious because

there's something coming that Most Americans just don't understand.

You know, and not because it's hidden.

It's right there in plain sight, but it's, you know, like all financial crimes, it's all dressed up in fancy acronyms and things that people half understand, and it all sounds like it's going to be good.

And eventually you start hearing the word that is the most important word, debt.

I've been hearing about a debt crisis since I was a kid.

There's going to come a time.

Well, this is the time.

We are here.

So we have to talk about this.

Yesterday, I read something

that came across my desk

about, it was from an advisor at Goldman Sachs.

And just listen to this.

This made my head hurt.

Funding conditions remain easy, but can tighten meaningfully once the debt limit is raised.

$4 trillion increase is likely included in this latest bill, as bill supply will drain bank reserves by several hundred billion.

I mean, I was like, I don't,

now you've given me homework.

I don't want to, I need to understand that, but I don't want to do all the homework on it.

So if you're hearing that, I know you're thinking the same thing.

So I did some homework on it.

And

if I may quote Admiral Akbar,

the debt, it's a trap.

Okay.

Congress is about to raise the debt ceiling, $4 trillion.

And they're arguing about it.

They're bickering back and forth.

And you're going to see a press conference or two.

But in the end, they always raise it.

This time, $4 trillion.

And the media will do what the media always does.

They'll say, ah, crisis averted.

But they're wrong.

They're wrong because every time we raise the debt ceiling, it adds to the crisis.

Okay.

And

this is the moment where maybe the final, we're maybe in final approach here.

And if it's not this landing, it might be the next landing, but it's going to be one of the landings very, very close to now.

Now, here's why raising the debt ceiling actually affects you.

I don't know, Whoopi Goldberg.

What difference does it make?

Well, here's what difference it makes.

And this is something that no politician is going to tell you, or very few of them will tell you.

Nobody will really explain it in a way that I think you can then use.

So let me try.

What happens when they raise the debt ceiling?

They raise the debt ceiling and say, okay, the debt ceiling was we can't borrow any more than this because we're out of control.

So we can't borrow any more than this.

And then they borrow all of that.

And then they're like, okay, okay, okay, but we can't borrow any more than this.

So this is the limit.

And then they raise the debt ceiling and they borrow all of that money.

And then they're like, okay, okay, okay.

But this time we really mean it.

We can't borrow more than this.

And the reason why they're saying we can't borrow more than this is because it's sending a message to the rest of the world.

And who specifically, I don't think people that are, you know, you know, average workers in England are thinking about this, but the central banks are.

The sovereign funds are.

The major investment funds are thinking about this.

That's why they say, okay, this time we mean it.

Because all of those people with the big money to buy our debt are saying, you guys aren't serious.

So the debt ceiling is raised.

What does that mean?

The government has to

print a bunch of T bills, treasury bills, which is basically an IOU.

Okay.

We say, we really need $4 trillion, but we're going to give you this IOU and we're good for it.

Okay.

we're really super going to pay you back.

And the less people believe that, the less that they think, oh no, they're serious,

the higher the interest rate.

It's like going to a loan shark.

Eventually, you've got such bad credit, you can't go anywhere else.

And so you have to just keep raising the interest rates.

And before you know it, you're talking to Vito who's going to break your legs.

Well, we're almost there.

So they have to refill the cash drawer, right?

We have to spend this money.

So they raise the debt ceiling.

Now, who buys those?

Just told you, banks, pension funds, money market accounts, countries.

And how do they pay for them?

Well, they don't just have that money lying around.

It's cash they have already sitting someplace else.

So when they buy government debt, that cash leaves the banking system and moves over to the treasury so the government can have it and spend it.

And what's left in the banking system is a big IOU.

Hang on.

If you have me so far, good.

But hang on because you're going to understand how this is going to affect your life personally in just a minute.

So this is like a giant vacuum.

It's a very powerful vacuum.

I think it's a Dyson because it sucks up all of the money, all of the oxygen, all of the, quote, liquidity that nobody understands.

Well, liquidity, well, liquidity, we're having a liquidity problem.

Nobody understands that.

My gosh, they can't tell you who the president of the United States is.

They're going to explain liquidity.

Okay,

here's what it means:

cash.

Cash at the bank.

Why is that important?

Why does that matter?

whoopi goldberg might say

because

you need cash from the bank in the form of a credit card or a phone in the form of an auto loan or a loan for your small business that's why this matters to you less money in the bank means tighter credit tighter credit means loans are going to get harder to get interest rates go up which means what

if you have a loan god forbid you have a variable loan loan, your interest rate on your house is going to go up, which means you're going to pay more for your house, which means

you're not going to get a raise at work because

businesses are drying up because nobody has money because this is affecting everybody.

Okay?

You can't get a mortgage.

You can't get a credit card.

You can't refinance.

Your small business doesn't get anything.

Why?

Well, because the government has all of that money.

Okay.

They just shrunk your financial oxygen tank.

They told you, breathe deep, breathe deep, but they're taking the tank and not giving you the oxygen you might need.

Okay, so

this also, when they raise the debt ceiling, affects you because

it affects inflation.

Okay, this is slight, this is total sleight of hand because the money doesn't disappear.

It's out of the bank, but it goes to the

all they've done is transferred you were going to spend that money to they are going to spend that money so they just shifted it from banks and households to politicians and federal agencies from the real economy to the administrative state so that doesn't reduce inflation it just changes who spends your money

it's not anti-inflationary it's anti-you

We are running a system right now that is mathematically unsustainable.

And every time we raise the debt ceiling, we are not solving a problem.

Crisis averted.

We're compounding it.

The more we borrow, the more cash we suck out of the real economy.

So here's what this is going to mean, possibly in the coming months.

If they pass this,

you're going to see in business investment slowing down.

Your wage is not going to go up.

Unemployment is going to creep up.

Families have to tighten their budget.

The Fed is trapped.

Cut rates, inflation's going to go up.

Raise rates, and the system falls apart.

Okay?

They're out of bullets.

They're out of bullets.

And as this is all happening, you're going to be told, this is all normal.

Don't worry about it.

Everything's fine.

But it's not fine.

How long can a man live if every breath he takes is harder than the last breath to get oxygen?

Okay.

Eventually the oxygen runs out and you're done.

No family, no business, no nation can survive if it spends more than it produces forever.

The clock is ticking and you're going to be left holding the bill.

Higher costs, fewer opportunities, and no one in Washington willing to tell you the truth.

You know, we used to measure our wealth now, or then, in what we made, what we built, what we grew.

Now we measure our wealth, I guess, in how much debt we can sell before the system buckles.

That's not prosperity.

That is a countdown.

So

let me give you some solutions for you.

I want you first, before we get into that, I want you to call your senator, call your congressman, and demand the Doge cuts.

At least send a signal to those who are buying our debt that

we have some responsibility.

Put the Doge cuts in.

The White House said they're sending them next week.

They just need to happen.

Do that.

Now, there are other things you need to do for your own personal survival and your own personal economy.

So I want you to know that this is not something

I don't just talk about things on the air unless I really believe them.

And I want you to know I'm making some changes in my life, and I am

risking a great deal in the coming months.

And I'll let you know about that as we get closer.

But I'm probably taking the biggest gamble of my career and my life in the coming months because I believe in something.

But

with that said, I want you to know, yesterday, when I saw this from Goldman Sachs, I thought, oh, boy.

Okay, is this the right time to do it?

And well, the answer is I don't ever do anything for money.

I do it because I believe in it.

And so, what happens will happen.

You know, God will work it out.

But I am changing many things in my own life because I believe in this.

So,

we all have different situations.

But let me just talk to the people who say, you know, I got a job.

I have maybe some savings, but not a lot.

What do I do?

Okay.

Let me give you a goal.

Whether you can reach this or not, I don't know, but it's a goal.

Have six months of living expenses in cash or a cash equivalent.

So you know you can make it six months and pay your basic bills.

Avoid any new long-term commitments that will drain your flexibility.

You have to remain is super nimble right now.

You have to have options in front of you right now.

Cut your recurring expenses now.

Eliminate or lock in subscriptions.

Look at your insurance, your utilities.

Cash flow is going to be king because something might happen and you're like, I got to have the cash.

Okay.

If you can do that, great.

If you can't, here's some other things.

Side hustles.

Set up yourself for a side hustle.

Any skill, if you have the ability to go back to like a trade school, do it.

Any skill, mechanic, baking, child care, tech, whatever it is, practice it right now, even part-time, because you may need it later if your hours are cut or your job disappears.

Have, be working on a backup right now.

Most important thing you can do.

is build local resilience.

This is one of the reasons why I come up to the ranch and I've built my forever forever home up in Idaho in this small little farming community because I know these people

and they are salt of the earth.

I mean,

I'm going to tear up just thinking about them.

I go to church with these people and I listen to them and they are, they're just salt of the earth people.

You have to have your local community, your local church, because in hard times, networks equals net worth.

Okay, forget about net worth.

Think of networks.

Also, own something tangible, even a small garden, chickens, tools, something that can help you with independence and avoid any new debt.

If you don't need a new car, don't get one.

Non-essentials, vacation, if you can get it without it, or especially vacation homes, get out of it.

The most important thing you need to know is stop assuming things will bounce back right away.

That's normalcy bias and it kills you.

All right, let me tell you about good ranchers.

Somewhere right now, there's a man walking a fence line.

He is checking for breaks after a storm rolled through overnight.

There's a woman who this morning is hauling feed before most people had even poured their first cup of coffee, but they were out and they were doing things.

All these people, they're the people who raise our food and they and they do it because something in them still believes in the value of honest work and doing the right things the right way, even when nobody's watching.

The truth is, family farms and ranches in this country are disappearing.

Our supermarkets are flooded with imported meat, boxed and labeled to look like it's from here, but it's grown and processed thousands of miles away under standards that wouldn't pass on American soil.

And every time that happens, every time a local rancher can't compete, we lose a piece of who we are.

We must support our ranches and our farmers.

Ranchers and farms, they matter.

They don't just sell meat.

They're the source of 100% American meat

Now back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

All right, let me give you some good news here.

This is a post that was on X yesterday.

It came from the Health and Human Services Department.

Let me just read it to you.

HHS sent a letter to health care providers, risk managers, and state medical boards urging immediate updates to treatment protocols for minors with gender dysphoria based on HHS comprehensive review that found puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries have very weak evidence of benefit, but carry risk of significant harms, including sterilization.

Providers should no longer rely on discredited guidelines that promote these dangerous interventions for children and adolescents based on ideology and not evidence.

Wow.

Welcome to the return of common sense in medicine.

Now, RFK wrote that providers should avoid relying on the World Professional Health Association for transgender health.

That's WPATH.

Remember, we talked about that years ago when it first started coming out, and it was insanity.

So now, healthcare providers should not rely on that from HHS.

It was one year ago we did a special exposing them for being ideological fraudsters,

WPATH.

And, you know, they were doing, I mean, this is Frankenstein.

This is Frankenstein-like experiments on children and the mentally ill, all done with the support of the medical community in the name of science and gender-affirming care.

It's over.

Our doctors took them seriously.

They shouldn't have.

Now, here's what CNN said.

Kennedy's letter warns providers to avoid relying on guidelines from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health on Care and Transgender and Gender Diverse People.

These and other guidelines based on so-called gender-affirming model of care should not be relied on for harm of our children any further, the letter says.

Good, good.

Kennedy says it's time for our doctors to now update all of the protocols.

A

men.

This is big news.

This is the first big step pulling us out of this death cult.

I mean, when you are chemically castrating our children in America,

And the doctors are calling that a good step forward.

That's a spiritual disease.

And a lot of people voted for Donald Trump because they wanted to see an end to this.

And

I hope this means that there is an end to it.

Dr.

Oz is working on this too, again from CNN.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services also announced Wednesday, that was yesterday, it was launching an oversight initiative into hospitals that performed experimental sex trait modification procedures on children.

Administrator Dr.

Oz said CMS will not turn a blind eye to procedures that lack a solid foundation of evidence and may result in lifelong harm.

Good.

We're not turning a blind eye to the children anymore and we're saying this is wrong to do

and we're taking the right steps.

Now all of this can be changed in the next election.

I mean

I hope not, but so much can change between now and 2020 28 when we elect another president.

But I hope we start to see real

improvement.

I know that a majority of Americans for the first time since, can you tell me when, Stu, do you remember?

We looked this up when Americans said we were on the right track, wrong track.

And we looked at it and we're like, wait, we haven't thought we were on the right track since when?

Remember, it was a long time.

And for the first time, it's the majority.

It's over 50%.

And that's not in, to be clear, not in every poll.

That is a poll that came out that showed that.

Like the Gallup polls are still very much in the negative.

Oh, well, let me reign on your parade, too.

Well, I'm just

trying to give the fucking.

Yeah, and those pants do make

your butt look fat.

Okay.

I mean, what is that?

I will say it's up a little bit.

I mean, for sure, even in the polls that show it's still negative, it's still going in the right direction in the right direction poll.

So that's good.

That's a positive.

I'm glad to see that we are, you know, maybe catching up to Europe on this one.

It's great to see.

Well, we want to be more like Europe, right?

I mean, geez.

In this one particular instance, oddly, we kind of do.

They seem to have figured this out before us.

Usually they're far to the left of us, and we're always tracking toward their left-wing positions.

It seems like they have actually

kind of woken up before us, which is, I think, stunning.

But

I'm glad to see that, you know, certainly

Trump is not on this bandwagon, and

now that he's in office, he can start reversing this nonsense.

You know, what's amazing is, you know, we've had so many discussions on this.

We've had so, but how many of them have actually been based in science?

Most of it is based in, you know, shouting you're a hate monger or you just want to, you know, kill people or you just hate transgender, all that crap.

Have you ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect?

Yes, yes.

You know what it is?

Yeah, you'd probably help me with a better definition, but my remembrance of it is like

people who know very little about a topic tend to be the most confident at the beginning.

And

then it kind of goes way down in their confidence as they learn more.

And only when they become experts that they kind of say, hey, you know, there's a lot of nuance in the way they speak.

Correct, correct.

And it's, I mean, it carries another part to it.

And

my grandmother knew this.

I mean, I think all of our grandmothers knew this.

Stupid people just don't know they're stupid.

They have no idea that they're stupid.

Yeah, okay.

That's a much better explanation.

And we are either living under the,

you know, the Dunning-Kruger effect, or we're living under the Freddy Kruger effect.

I don't know which our society is embracing, but stupid people just don't know they're stupid.

And they get just a little bit.

And I mean, I'm not talking about, oh, I forgot to cancel my free trial stupid.

I mean, but stupid.

And, you know, when you're stupid, you feel like a genius.

And when you know a lot, you feel like an imposter.

Yeah, that's totally

right.

Yeah.

Like,

I'm sure do you notice this, Glenn, sometimes when you're out at a party or something and you're talking to people and they probably come to you and bring up topics they think you talk about on the air because they know who you are.

Like they'll bring up, you know, they'll bring up something about, I don't know, the great reset, right?

Whatever, yeah.

You know, progressivism.

And, and they'll say things and you're like, oh, yeah, I know,

sure.

Well, I mean, that's not exactly it, but yeah, I know what you're saying.

And it's like, because you've studied it for a long time, they probably haven't.

They've heard bits and pieces.

Maybe they've seen a little bit on social media.

But a lot of times

what carries with that is certainty, right?

Like they've read a couple of things on social media, they're sure they're right, and they bring it to you and you're like, ah, you know.

Sure, you know, I know what you're saying.

Let me address this on the air when I can tear you apart.

We're here together at a party.

Let's not talk about it.

No, that is absolutely true.

You remember what I said, everybody was making fun of me at Glenn Beck's on his apology tour when I left Fox.

And because you do a lot of thinking, when you go from one of the most,

you know,

beloved people, invisible people,

to

a fat person that

is now hated by most people, you know,

you tend to think a lot.

And I, and so what I was nutrition and other things yeah and everything what i was saying at the time was

um

you know i was so certain of things and that doesn't mean that i was wrong it was just that my approach i was so certain of things and the only thing i'm certain of now is that i'm not certain of anything

you know what i mean yeah

um and that's kind of the mantra of my life now and it's really hard to do this job and say that, but

it is what I believe.

The only thing I'm truly certain of is I'm not certain of anything.

Right.

And that doesn't mean you don't try to get to the truth.

It means that you're constantly

re-examining what you believe.

Like you have to, I think that's where some of the social media world in this era of media has

kind of lost the plot.

And that you should constantly be pushing yourself.

Right.

Like

when you when you think you know something you should constantly be pushing yourself the other direction just to make sure, like get the best arguments from the other side.

There are policies that I agree with, and I want to hear the best policy arguments from the other side to see if my opinion should change.

You should be thinking that way, even if you're not going to necessarily change your viewpoint all the time, you should be thinking about how to best challenge not only to see if you're right, but also to strengthen your argument for what you currently believe.

You know,

I did an interview with Rokana last week, and it was on the podcast.

It was very good.

I don't agree with him really on much of anything except fundamental principles of our country and what we were founded on.

But, you know,

he's a big government guy and everything else.

And he's a guy who's probably going to run for president.

And that's why I did the interview.

It's because you should know where he stands, who he is, et cetera, et cetera, because he's probably going to be one of the guys running for president of the Democratic Party.

And I want you to be informed on him.

So I do the interview and I read all of these leftist

responses on this and saying,

look, even

Rokana can even get on Glenn Beck's program because he's so reasonable.

Well, yeah, that is true.

I do like to have reasonable people on, but I really don't have a problem talking to anybody.

It's not that they're changing,

it's not that Rokana

changed me.

I'm open to talk to people I disagree with.

Sure.

But

the left generally isn't.

I'm open to talking to people.

If you can have a conversation, if you enter the conversation with absolute certainty, well, then I can't have a conversation with you because all it's going to end up being is a bashfest.

Well, you're just too stupid to understand.

Well, who's the stupid one?

Honestly.

I mean, you know, this is where it gets uncomfortable.

Statistically speaking, someone in in the room here is the dumbest person.

And since it's just you and me, I got some bad news for you.

You know,

and

nobody, nobody, you know, everybody thinks that way.

And they don't think, well, maybe, hang on, let me listen because I might learn something from

somebody.

And, you know, look at the arrogance on the doctors, going back to the original story, which brought this up.

The doctors just started touting things they didn't actually know because the science did not back it up.

Not enough science had been done.

The ones that weren't arrogant were the ones, honestly, in Sweden and the Netherlands that actually looked at the science.

They were doing it.

And then they looked at the science and they looked at the studies and they were like, you know what?

We got to stop this because this is not right.

It's not what we thought it was.

But we continued just to double down and double down.

And it was without any information.

This is why I asked earlier today,

what was it we were talking about?

Oh, we were talking about the

new approach by the State Department, which Marco Rubio is just killing it.

And

they're starting to put out these, you know, they've got a

sub stack.

And I read one of them at the beginning of the podcast today, and it was really, really amazing that it was coming from our State Department.

And it should be something that everybody agrees with.

And quite honestly, every Democrat I know would agree with it, would have agreed with it.

But now that it's coming from the Trump administration, they won't agree with anything.

And I said, you know, I know why I've changed.

I've changed my mind on a lot of things.

And I am a different person than I was 20 years ago.

And I think that's good.

But I don't think Democrats are the same people either.

And what I'd like to know is what new information did you get

that has allowed you to abandon the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, all of that?

What got you there?

What got you from a place of these endless wars don't work to, yeah, we got to go in and kick some ass in Ukraine and we got to topple Putin?

What changed?

Because I'm not there.

And I'd like to just say, I would have liked to meet you in the same room here because this is the room I always thought you were wrong on.

You were right.

But now you've changed.

I really want to know what new information came to you that made you go, you know what?

I've been wrong all these years.

You know, what new information came your way that's saying drag shows in, you know, first grade is good for children.

I want specifics.

What new information?

Because you would have said anybody who did that should be arrested.

That doesn't belong with first graders.

It doesn't belong in the fourth grade.

We shouldn't be doing these things, what we're doing to our children.

I'm still at that place.

I didn't change on that.

I'm still there.

But you did change if you're on the other side

as an average Democrat.

Please specifically tell me

Why, what new information?

Those are conversations I think America would love to hear.

Instead of just calling each other names, just tell me new information because maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think I am, but maybe I am.

So give me that new information that you got and don't make it about Trump and I won't make it about Biden.

How's that?

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

So last night on the Wednesday night show, I talked about

why this this thing with Joe Biden and who is actually running the White House and the Autopin and everything else, why that matters,

and what do we actually know?

And I had Ed Martin on.

I don't know if you know who Ed Martin is, but

he is the U.S.

pardon attorney

and he works through the DOJ.

So he's the guy who knows.

about these pardons, if they're going to be valid, et cetera, et cetera.

And

I asked him last night, and this has gone really viral,

what are the potential laws that were broken and the laws in the cover-up about his health and abuse of the AutoPen?

Listen to his answer.

There's many, many laws that I would say apply to this.

You know, someone brought up forgery.

Forgery is the beginning of a conversation.

I think fraud, you know, there's all kinds of aspects of fraud that could be done.

If somebody's making money, big money off of it, you know, there's many things.

President Trump used in a truth social a post about treason.

And I think I'm, as a member of DOJ, I'm going to, you know, tread carefully towards what I would describe as the likely crime, but, but there's a lot.

If, if this was an abuse, like people are worried, there's a lot of crimes that were committed.

And there it is, will be.

If the facts show that it was happening, the DOJ will pursue aggressively

justice.

The only way I know to do it is being aggressive, Glenn.

You probably have seen this now.

So, yes, I mean, we're going to get to the bottom of the facts.

We're going to apply it to the law, and we're going to go like hell against the people that did this to the country.

And, you know, this is the biggest scandal I could ever imagine in our lives.

There's never been anything like this at this point.

And so, I hope it's the less, I hope it's a lesser scandal than it looks like, but it's headed towards one of the most egregious things we've ever seen.

So, yes, people will be held accountable, and yes, they will be held accountable by prosecutions.

Wow.

One of the biggest scandals, it's headed.

I hope it's less, but it's headed towards the biggest scandal we've ever had.

Holy cow.

And that's from a guy who's very, very reasoned and measured.

And he is, you know, he's the guy who does the pardons.

And I asked him, you know, are these things even valid?

You know, if it gets proven that other people, you know,

use the auto pen without the president's knowledge of approval?

Are any of these things valid?

Listen to what he said, cut five.

This is a $64,000 question, but let's just do it as a hypothetical to be a little bit more,

a little bit less specific to this, if I can.

If you and I go enter a contract and it turns out that you were not capable of entering into the contract, right?

Depending on how I relied on it, if I went and did something and I was paid for it, I might make the argument that you have to honor that.

But in general, that's not a valid contract.

So, you know, the validity of these things, whether they're pardons or other actions, is going to come into question.

And I think there's some details and legal questions that are going to be a little bit harder, but you can see that it's,

and here's what's more troubling to me is if some of these pardons were issued because they were being engineered, you know,

for example,

for Fauci or for the select committee on January 6th

by someone who's taking advantage of Joe Biden in order to cover things up.

Well, you know, that can't be what the system contemplated.

And so I think that's all going to come into question, yes.

Jeez.

Now, let me play one more clip.

This is from David Hogg.

David Hogg, I don't think I need to even point out, you know, his history on who he is.

Listen to what he said.

Listen.

I mean, I did the fact of the matter is the DNC is always going to be like a campaign arm of the president ultimately.

The bigger issue was like the inner circle that was around Biden.

That's it, Joe.

And I can't stress, I can't straight to see you enough.

But Joe Biden's chief of staff like had an enormous amount of power.

Joe Biden?

Joe Biden's chief of staff.

That was like an open secret at the weapon.

Like, I would avoid him.

He was scary.

What was his name?

Anthony from Lord.

I've never seen him.

Exactly.

What do you mean?

He's just like a he's like a shadowy like blizzard of oz type figure.

That's what made him so, like,

I knew how he looked, but I'm like, the general public wouldn't know how this man looked, but he wielded

an enormous amount of power.

And I can't stress you how much power he had at the White House.

That was on a Project Veritas hidden video.

I mean, what these guys knew and how they just all dealt with it and just said, you know, ends justify the means.

Can you imagine

Jill Biden was running the White House,

her chief of staff?

That's who was running all of this?

Yeah.

Anthony Bernal is,

by the way, one of the central characters in the Jake Tapper Alex Thompson book, Original Sin, as well, as seen, kind of described almost exactly that way, as a guy who everyone was afraid of and that was making a lot of the decisions.

around the White House, one of four or five people, but he was one of the main ones, which which is, again, you know, if you think about we didn't elect Anthony Bernal president of the United States.

We didn't or Jill Biden.

Or Joe Biden.

At least we knew who Joe Biden was, but no, we didn't elect them.

We have a constitutional system that says that he's supposed to be making these decisions,

Joe Biden.

And he was not making them, I think, quite clearly at this point.

At least it was being

his access to information and to even his own cabinet officials seems to have been controlled by the people close to him.

What's the book say about Hunter Biden?

Because I've heard that Hunter Biden was making all of the family decisions at the time.

It basically talks about how, you know,

it talks about how Joe Biden was

a big part of his decline happened around the time that Hunter was dealing with all these legal issues.

You know, they describe Joe in the book, I would say, as crushed by his losses over the years.

You know, he'd lost two children, obviously, previously, and he was worried about losing a third.

And for that reason, he was

insanely loyal to Hunter and believing that he was actually a good guy.

Now, again, that's talking a lot about motivation.

I don't know what the reason was, but yeah,

describe it.

I mean, I think that I mean, I've known that from the get-go.

The guy was crushed

by the death of his other son, and he was loyal to a fault to this son

and was doing more damage.

And when you say that he really believed that he was a good guy, you got to remember you're talking about Joe Biden's version of a good guy.

Right.

Right.

It's different than my version.

With multiple layers on top of this.

The corruption being the one I think you're referring to there, but also the senility and the elements of senility that had stepped into his life.

I don't think he was able to make those decisions anyway.

In the book, when do they say that he really kind of checked out?

When was his

sort of a multi-phase process that began in 2015?

Now, you might recognize 2015 as a time he was not president, but was still vice president of the United States.

But going back to 2015, they say it started there.

It wasn't constant then, though.

People would notice he was having moments, bad moments,

bad days.

But it started picking up in 2018.

And then,

again, before he was president,

some of it was noticed in 2020.

They say the real collapse off, you know.

What were you saying?

You said this earlier.

How do you go bankrupt?

Well, very slowly and then all at once.

They say kind of the same thing about his mental capacity and that it was fading from 2015, but really fell off a cliff in 2023.

Now, obviously, we all noticed stuff in 2020, 2021, throughout that period, and they say it was there.

They just say it wasn't as consistent.

It was really noticeable, even to the people close to him, even to the people who were cheering him on and wanting him to succeed.

It became so overwhelming in the year, in 2023, 2023 and obviously into 2024.

You know, it's really amazing to me.

You know that the ends justify the means to these people.

If in 2018, they were spotting it and going,

he's going downhill.

Because if you really believed in the presidency, if you believed in the Constitution and what the president was going to have to do, my God, carrying the nuclear football, just that alone.

And

if you really truly understand that and respect that, there's no way you would say, yeah, let's go ahead and just run him anyway.

Because

you legally and constitutionally cannot stand in for him.

And then what do they do?

If you're going to do that, say, because he could win, great, then let's get the strongest vice president we can.

Because if he starts to really fade, we got to have somebody who can really run it.

So maybe we use him to get elected, but

the first sign of real trouble, we're out.

And what do they do?

They get the weakest person to be the vice president.

It shows from the beginning this was a puppet regime.

Yeah, they talk a little bit.

That's incredible to say.

They talk a little bit about that pick and go through the moments of how they picked Kamala Harris a little bit.

And they basically said he wanted Whitmer.

Now, again, Whitmer also would have sucked as a vice president.

I'm not saying,

but that Biden wanted Whitmer.

He was more comfortable with Whitmer.

The family thought Whitmer would be a better pick, partially because they,

Jill, because of Jill Biden, Jill saw

the actions that Kamala took during the debate and would not forgive her for that when she basically called her husband a racist.

And also, interestingly, it wasn't just, hey, you called my husband a racist, that makes me mad.

It was that Jill, I think, correctly diagnosed the idea that only a person with incredible

desire to rise in the ranks would do such a thing, right?

Like only someone with all sorts of

want and need for higher levels of power would do that.

So she did not want Kamala, according to the book.

And Whitmer was the one that even Biden wanted.

However, they,

I mean, it came down to skin color.

I mean, it really did come down to that, where, you know,

his allies, particularly on the side,

people like

Clyburn,

wanted an African-American on the ticket.

That was believed to be his strength

with voters in the primary and on.

So they kind of just picked her because she...

you know, checked those boxes.

I mean, it's as bad of a DEI thing that we always talked about.

I mean,

quite literally, the president of the United States, according to this book, did not want Kamala Harris to be vice president and instead picked her anyway because of these

intersectional boxes that needed to be checked.

And if you said that,

the press demonized you and said you're crazy.

And now it's all coming out that, yeah, that's absolutely true.

I mean,

it's really amazing what they put the country through.

Through the entire saga of this book, too, right?

Like all these things were things we were all saying, you know?

There's not like, there's tons of information we didn't know that is in the book, but it all supports things we did know.

We all knew this is all going on.

We didn't have the background information.

We weren't in the private meetings because even his own cabinet officials weren't in the private meetings.

But, you know, it was obvious to people just by the public stuff and the behind-the-scenes stuff, as opposed to what we heard on media, which was, oh, she's sharp as a tack.

You should see him when he's not on camera.

Maybe we should film those moments if that's really what's happening.

But in reality, that safe stuff was going on, and it seemingly was worse behind the scenes than it was in front of the camera.

That's incredible.

You wouldn't think that would be possible.
