What a show today, huh?

That's saying something.

What a show today.

Starts out with some

pretty harsh words for Iran, the president,

Palestine,

because we saw some things that most people have not seen.

We explain that

in the program.

Stu, of course,

you know, takes the stand against God in much of the show today, which I found interesting

myself.

But see,

he didn't even want to talk about it.

I disagree with your analysis, as usual.

You decide.

You listen to a podcast.

The evidence is everywhere.

It's riddled with evidence.

Today's podcast, Reddit.

It was a sad day.

It really was when the little McDonald's down the street lost their best burger flipper.

I mean, it was a real tragedy, but young Braden, he was moving up in the world.

He'd itched his wagon to a distant star and would ride his way on to fame and fortune.

No burger flipping for me anymore, said Brayden, shaking the dust off the fryolator grease from his shoes as he ambled to the parking lot towards his bicycle.

From now on, I'm going to be a real estate agent.

Now, if that story kind of terrifies you because you're thinking about buying or selling a house and you don't want to end up with Braden, I've got good news.

I started a company a decade ago.

It's called Real Estate Agents I Trust, that actually pairs you up with actual experts who will not only work their butts off trying to help you on both the buying and selling end, but who also know that the people that they trust, you'll be able to trust.

The things that you have to get done,

they'll have that Rolodex to be able to say, no, call this guy, he'll get it done at the right price, and it'll be right.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

The name says it all.

You're listening to

the best of the Benbec program.

All right, we welcome to the program Jason Buttrill and Pat Gray, and of course, our executive producer on the program, Stu Bergier.

So, Stu, you probably,

well, maybe, I don't know, made the right choice of not coming to a confidential briefing that we got from the Consulate general here in Texas from Israel.

They flew in to give us

a briefing on

what they're actually facing over in Israel.

And I felt bad for Pat.

Pat looked at me right before it started and he said, I don't watch Rated R movies.

Oh my God.

This is going to be disturbing.

Yes.

And it was disturbing for anybody, even if you did watch Rated R movies.

It is

worse than anything you could possibly imagine, right?

I mean,

these are all of the horrific.

She actually started by saying to us, you will not see the worst.

We are not going to show you the sexual

assaults with the killings during, before,

or after.

She said,

you'll not see the worst.

But what we did see,

I wish everyone could see.

I really do.

Pat said it should be

required viewing for every college campus.

Every university should have to see this.

Anybody who is in doubt has to see this.

It is, it is by far,

it was like walking through a concentration camp.

It really was.

Not like after, you know, now it's a museum.

I mean, with the bodies laying there.

It was that disturbing.

I had to get up.

I could barely sit through it.

It was 45 minutes.

She said, you know, you can leave at any time.

But we all stayed there

and we all watched it.

There was about eight of us.

Out of a company this large, there were eight of us.

She told us afterwards, and the only reason why there were eight of us here yesterday, was because everybody else said i i can't watch it what was very disturbing after

we said have you brought this to the mainstream media and she said oh yeah do they see it no

is that just a few people she said no it's the vast majority and it's not because

uh it's too disturbing They're not watching it for things like the local people,

you know, in big metropolitan cities, they are all saying, well, what's the local angle?

What do you mean, what is the local angle?

You have people in your own universities and your own streets screaming for, you know, death to Israel, death to America.

What do you mean, what is the local angle?

That is the local angle.

Not to mention it's been 196 days and there's still American hostages living through this.

I don't know.

Did you get a dog tag yesterday?

No.

I got a dog tag from a place yesterday that they sent it to me.

We've been supporting them in Israel.

And they sent me the dog tag of

return them home.

Return them home.

They all must come home.

I pray that they're all dead.

Wow.

One of the things that was asked of the

general consul was:

is there a chance that the six Americans are dead now?

Oh, there's a very good chance of that.

So, I don't know, maybe the administration, maybe that's one of the reasons they don't even talk about those.

It's because they know they're dead by now.

I don't know, I don't know.

Jason, you were the only one who has been to war

that was that,

you know, my security detail.

All of you are military special ops, most of you.

And three of you were in this meeting last night.

On the way home, I asked

Caesar, one of the guys,

I said,

Caesar, I don't have any idea what war is like.

I said,

was any of that

like war?

And he looked at me

with horror, and he was like, no.

That's not

the way war is.

And I didn't have a reference because I've never seen...

You've seen things.

You've seen dead people in war.

The difference?

That's interesting that he would say that because I was thinking the exact same thing.

I've seen, you know, the death and destruction.

I've seen bodies.

I've seen what war can do in the battlefield.

But you never see so many civilians.

that have just been slaughtered and are lying around everywhere.

That was

like going into a slaughterhouse.

Oh my gosh, some of them.

The images are like going into a slaughterhouse.

Yeah, like going into a preschool.

That is not something you see in war.

And yeah, I have seen a lot, so I wasn't surprised by most of it.

Well, I was surprised by the civilian casualties.

To see that is surprising.

I don't care who you are.

I don't think I'll ever unsee the

little children that had been burned alive in their little Mickey Mouse pajamas.

And what was so disturbing about it was

they had audio tapes, and most of this came from the body cameras of Hamas.

They were thrilled to do all of this.

The glee was

so disturbing.

It was so disturbing.

Like,

like

you don't even see Nazi movies like this.

Okay.

You don't even see.

Yeah, because you would have like a like Schindler's list where you have the one guy who's just indiscriminately shooting.

But it was business-like.

That's what made it so cold, Schindler's list.

It wasn't exciting.

I'm thrilled to do it.

It was like, this is mundane.

Correct.

You know, that was what was stark about that.

This was so inhuman.

They're screaming, God is great.

God is great.

Every time they do something, they were hacking people apart, and then they would call their commander.

They'd get on the radio and call their commander, and they would say, We just killed them, we just killed them all.

And the commander of Hamas would say, Cut their heads off and play

soccer with them.

Cut their heads off and give them to the people to play with.

Crucify their bodies.

The Hamas commanders would take a horrid situation and then tell them, now play with them.

It was

so dark and so evil.

I mean, it is Old Testament evil stuff.

Were you struck, too, by the when they returned to the Gaza Strip, some of the Hamas terrorists

carrying bodies and wounded, and they're in the back of pickup trucks.

And

they come back to the Gaza Strip and there are thousands of people celebrating, cheering, participating in this.

They're loving it.

Oh, they love it.

It's not just Hamas.

It is so clear.

It is everybody you see in this video.

Yeah, it is so clear.

There might be 10%, maybe 10%, 20%

of people that are not for this and are just, you know, afraid.

We didn't see them in this video.

Yeah, we certainly didn't see it.

But the polls show show they are, you know, 80% of the people, the Palestinians, are okay with it.

And they're on our streets as well.

And if you don't think this is coming here, you're sadly mistaken.

You're sadly mistaken.

And, you know, you don't put 80% of a fire out.

You certainly, we didn't stop with the Nazis until the German people said, I give, I give, I give.

Okay, all right.

And then even after we ended the war, we went in and we hung the Nazis that were responsible in any way, shape, or form.

And anyone who is still trying to hide out with that philosophy, we couldn't kill all of them, but we killed a lot of them even after the war.

You cannot.

cannot stop until this is completely wiped out.

It will never, ever go away.

Never.

And Iran is one of our best opportunities because the people of Iran are not like this.

Palestinians,

I can't vouch for them because just you look at the polls.

Look, the polling is terrible.

It's horrible.

But the people of Iran are not like this.

It's just mainly the leadership of Iran.

And it's got to change.

It has to change.

This evil must not stand in the United States.

You know,

it's interesting because

there's a

circumstance in the Bible that's talked about in Deuteronomy where the prophet Joshua is instructed to entirely wipe out a people, kill every living thing.

And that means women, children, the animals.

And it was because...

The evil was such that it had to be wiped out.

And the people who were there didn't have a chance.

It was so evil.

They were so steeped and marinating in evil that it was better for them to go than continue in that evil.

So they were wiped out.

Now, I don't know if that's the case with the Palestinians.

I'm not their judge, but it's what kept going through my mind when we were watching that video.

You can't stop, at least until you kill the Hamas terrorists.

You can't stop.

It's not even like Germany,

where people would turn their face from it.

They are,

Stu, there were things that we saw.

They were playing with heads.

And

one

was,

I don't even know how

all of the bones had been crushed.

And so the face, the head was just like a bag.

And it was flat.

I mean, I've never seen anything like it.

They just beat and beat and beat and played with the bodies.

And it was so incredibly evil

with glee.

And

God is great.

God is great.

That is not a God I recognize.

I'm sorry, but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would condemn that.

And we should all condemn that.

And there should be no misunderstandings.

I don't care what your religion is.

If your religion condones that, your religion is evil.

Period.

How about the phone call from the terrorist to his parents?

And it's been talked about,

and that's one of the most disturbing things in that video.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

Let me tell you about Jace Medical.

Jace Medical

is not just for, you know, serious issues.

You know, it's for, you know,

you're on vacation and I'm starting to blow yellow.

Oh, why would you talk about that?

Well, it's part of life, you know what I mean?

So what do you do?

You want to call up a doctor?

You want to go see the doctor when you're in another country, whatever.

You can have Jace Medical, a Jace case with you.

Now, let's say, well, I don't know, we're hit by a nuke.

Okay, what are you gonna do?

You weren't hit by a nuke, you're one of the survivors.

You got band-aids.

Do you have anything else?

Do you have anything that is going to keep your family alive?

And I mean, just with the regular heart medicine or blood pressure medicine or any of that, Jace Medical can help you with that.

Have a year's worth supply of medicine that you and your family need at home.

Now back to the podcast.

We're dealing with

a true ancient evil in the Middle East.

Was this, we have Jason Buttrell here, who is a main researcher for the Glenbeck program and also watches over military operations and conflicts all around the world for me.

Explain what happened yesterday with Israel and this

whoos

response from Israel?

Was this the response or a response?

What was this?

This was a brilliant response in my opinion.

Why?

Well,

what Israel essentially did was they straightened it's kind of, I mean, all three of us, you asked us what's going to happen.

We were all collectively right.

You two said they were going to strike back at other targets, which they did in Syria and Iraq, but they also struck inside Iran.

So it's definitely a new Middle East.

The proxy status is dissolving right before our eyes.

But they hit the location, let's start with the proxy locations.

They hit proxy locations.

There's not a whole lot of information we do know, but what it looks like to me in analyzing previous attacks is that these are locations that have been given Iranian weaponry, specifically like cruise missiles and shorter-range missile systems, like the kind that hit Israel.

But they also struck near Isfahan in Iran.

That's their main missile manufacturing area is right there.

So this was a very limited strike.

I would say maybe a few planes.

Maybe a few planes.

They didn't even, I don't think they even launched the missiles from Iranian territory, which means probably somewhere over Iraq.

They were able to reach out and touch Iran without Iran knowing a thing about it and completely destroyed the targets that they wanted to destroy.

Iran launched 350 plus missiles, couldn't kill a single thing or destroy a single thing.

They did this in such a way that showed Iran, we can hit you whenever we want.

You will never know it.

And it will be precise.

Such a good thing for the people of Iran because you cannot turn the people of Iran.

Exactly.

Right.

They're not part of this.

No, no, and there was no collateral damage that we know of at the moment.

This is how you restore deterrence.

This is exactly how, I mean, and let's just be honest here.

This is not a surprise or a secret that the proxy status is dissolving in front of us and that the Middle East is becoming something new and something terrible.

This is a result of foreign policy.

This is Joe Biden's foreign policy.

He went away from the Abraham Accords.

He re-engaged with Iran, coddled Iran.

This is what you get.

This is exactly what you get, and it is entirely on them.

And it's interesting, too, that there's a level of

de-escalation here by Israel as well.

Like they did, yes, this is as far as they've gone, right?

But it is considerably less than what Iran tried to do.

It's de-escalation through strength.

Yes.

Iran has no choice but to go back to their quote and say, we consider this concluded.

They have no choice.

Because right now, you have a bunch of mullahs sitting around that table going, oh, crap,

we're kind of screwed here.

Do you think that's what they're going to do?

Are they going to say, are they going to basically not respond after this?

Not.

I highly doubt against Israel proper.

I highly doubt.

I think they go back to the way they usually operate their problem because they are decades behind Israel.

Decades.

And it really is jaw-dropping.

I mean, not only Israel, but the United States, you know, all of our ally allies, how much far ahead we are against, you know, this axis of evil, like Iran, North Korea, Russia.

They're crazy and can do some crazy things, but we are way ahead of them.

And as this shows, I mean, it really is kind of breathtaking and amazing just how efficient Israel is.

So this is not maybe going to

improve your mood much, but according to the Palestinian Authority's official news outlet, the Palestinian General Intelligence Service on April 4th provided a grant to 36 families of agency officials who died or were in prison as a result of their involvement in anti-Israel security crimes.

And they paid their families off with money that came from us.

Believable.

We will pay the families of the martyrs, and they are using using American dollars that we are giving them to reward the martyrs and the families.

So you've always got that going for you.

So, sorry, American dollars going towards the Palestinians, Hamas.

American dollars going to Israel, as that's as it should be, I believe, right now.

American dollars also going to Iran.

American dollars going to Iraq.

American dollars that will be spent when we have to deal with a lot of that stuff, when it goes completely.

Where is there not the stain of our ridiculous foreign policy, geopolitics, how we deal with the entire region and world?

We're funding every single side here.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

And

the right side we're funding, I think,

kind of against the government's will.

I think they would cut off the money for Iran.

I mean, I'm sorry, for Israel in a heartbeat.

If they could.

if they could get away with it, they would cut it off in a heartbeat.

Look at what's happening around our own country right now.

And no one is saying anything about it.

You have people chanting death to America, quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini

in

large sections and large numbers of major cities.

You have the campuses.

What happened yesterday at Columbia?

Police had come in and shut the whole thing down yesterday.

We were talking to the

the consulate yesterday, the Israeli consulate.

What is the um

what is the university in uh

New Orleans?

It i Tulane.

It has fifty percent fifty percent of the population of Tulane is Jewish.

There are protesters there, and the Jewish students don't feel safe.

Yeah.

And who's doing anything about it?

That's why, that's why.

I see, I understand where Israel's coming from, but I think they need to mass produce this video that they showed us yesterday.

I do too.

It's got to be everywhere.

It can no longer be ignorance for you to go out and chant death to America.

That has to do with Iran.

Iran greenlit the October 7th attack.

They have to.

When I asked them, I said, look,

can I put out a general call and say, come to a movie theater with me and you guys can present it, but you can come in.

You know, we'll vet you in advance so we know who you are and see it.

And they said, no, we can't do that.

They just don't want everyone.

What's the reasoning?

Just it's too disturbing for the families of these people.

No, the families in many cases, one of the more disturbing things was the attack on the family and these two little boys.

oh my gosh I mean it was it was

it was unbelievable

and the mom survived and she insisted that that video be included she's like no no no no the world needs to see what happened to my family

And so what was it she said?

She said, we just can't.

She said

the people that see it

need to have a reason to see it or something like that.

She didn't.

I think their deal is they don't want to deal in death.

You know, they don't want to be seen as just, but I have to tell you, it is

if we could have seen the death camps in advance, okay?

If the American people could have seen the beginning of the death camps and the showers, it's not enough to talk about it.

It's just not enough.

I want to see these people continue to protest in that way.

If they have seen that part of the video, and just a quick narration, these terrorists march into a village.

They slaughter a dog that was running up with a happy wagging tail.

Telltale, not an enemy.

Slaughter the dog,

it was a friendly dog.

Then they go through and you see their body cam turn as it looks into the

screen window.

They shoot an old person sitting there.

In front of the window, behind the window.

You hear them groan and drop.

Then you go to this specific house with the boys.

It turns to CC TV footage camera.

They're in their underwear.

You can tell they were woken up by the gunshots.

This, the father takes the two kids, hides them, shields them with his body from a grenade, and he drops instantly.

Then the two kids are screaming, why am I alive?

Is he dead?

Why am I alive?

The little kids.

Little kids.

Little kids.

One of them says...

Six, eight.

Well, yeah, one of them said to the other, I think we're going to die.

And the other brother came and comforted him and tried to, you you know, heal him.

The little kid had lost the vision in his eye.

Couldn't see in both.

He's gained back his vision now in one eye.

But the other brother was shielding him.

I mean, it was shocking.

And then what do the terrorists do?

They walk into the house and start rummaging through their refrigerator, drinking their juice and Coke and stuff, looking for food.

It is the most animalistic thing I've ever seen.

And the kids were smart enough to hide.

They ran out and hid.

I don't know where they hid.

That was God's stuff right there.

That was.

How they got out of that house alive and hid when you saw, you see the entire community.

Everyone's dead.

Yeah.

Everyone's dead.

I mean, it was, it's what happened in Poland and Czechoslovakia when the when the people would go into towns and they would put everybody into a church, they'd chain the doors and they'd burn it all down and every single Jew in the community was dead.

That's what it was.

It's shocking.

And how these two kids survived is beyond me, other than a miracle from God.

I spoke to an IDF guy.

He was probably like in his 90s, and he was in the six-day war.

It was in Sturrat, one of the places that got hit.

And I was like, at some point.

Sturrat was hit?

Sturrat was hit as well.

I didn't know.

I have been there.

But I asked him, I was like, how the heck did you guys guys win?

And he goes, at times it felt like God closed their eyes and shut their ears.

And that quote came back to me when those two little boys, when you see them run around the corner, when there's terrorists everywhere.

There's

CCTV footage on this whole area.

And so you can follow the kids.

And

they're running out.

As soon as they leave the door, I don't know.

Nobody spoke during this thing.

But as soon as they open the door, I'm like, oh, dear God, don't do it.

Don't

stay inside.

Stay inside.

And they run out.

And then you see them running in an open space between houses.

And there are guys just shooting

everything, shooting everything.

And they just run and snake around.

And they're not even, they're not, they're kids.

They're not trying to be, you know, like low to the ground.

They're just running like little kids run in an open field.

And somehow or another, nobody saw them to kill them.

So they were survived.

They survived?

They survived.

They survived.

Let me ask you this.

How would this play out?

If you,

one of these large protests, the pro-Hamas protests that we've been seeing all around the country, if you had 2,000 people there at one of these protests and somehow there was on one of the big walls nearby, they just played this footage.

How does that crowd react to it?

That crowd is going to start saying very soon that this is all deep fake.

Let me give you.

They wouldn't deny it.

They wouldn't be won over.

They wouldn't see the horror and change.

I think maybe some would.

The hardcores definitely won't.

Hardcores definitely won't.

Let me just give you,

this is the polling from the Palestinian

territories of Hamas.

This is taken after.

October 7th.

95% of the Palestinians when asked, do you think people around you will forgive what Israel did in this war someday?

This is asked like October 10th.

No, we will not forgive at all.

75%

of Palestinians extremely supportive of the military operation led by Hamas on October 7th.

76% of Palestinians, somewhat positive, very positive view of the role of Hamas.

97% of Palestinians have a very negative view of Israel.

97%

very negative view of the role of America.

84% of Palestinians have a very positive view of the role of Islamic jihad.

74%,

when presented with a choice of a two-state solution or a Palestinian state from the river to the sea, 74%

say river to the sea.

When asked about their own preference for the party, who should be in control, 60%

said Hamas.

85%,

85%

responding to the videos.

No, I'm sorry.

93% responding to October 7th.

93%

said

that they were fine, that Hamas

didn't

commit any atrocities on October 7th.

93%, no atrocities.

And you can't tell me it's just because they didn't watch the videos.

A lot of these videos came from their own video channels that everybody is accessing.

And the people on the streets know exactly what was going on.

And that's the wrong question because they don't consider killing Jews atrocities.

Correct.

You're listening to the best of the Glendeck program.

Jason Buttrell joins me, a chief researcher, and

he's the guy who oversees global military affairs and

relations.

Did you guys see the story that came out on the Blaze yesterday?

I read this and I'm like, oh, wow, wait a minute.

Is another Glenn Beck prediction about to come true?

Nearly two years ago, Glenn Beck issued a warning to his audience, the federal government will use climate change as the national emergency.

It will give the president the kinds of powers that a president only gets when we are attacked attacked on the homeland and we are at war.

According to a

Daily Caller article published yesterday, the White House officials now are weighing whether to declare a national climate emergency several months out from the 2024 election.

Yeah.

Makes complete sense.

I think

poll numbers will have a will play a big role in that as well.

The worse it gets for them, the more willing they will be to do that.

Well, they say that this is the way that they can reach the young, but I think it's also a way to silence everybody.

I mean, the power that the national government, that the president, the administration and the president will have

will be unprecedented.

It's war powers.

I mean, you forget whatever they decide to do, they can do.

Or at least that's the case that they will make.

And this has been how long, I mean, you've been talking about this for as long as I've known you, but their desire to discover this pathway to war powers without war has been a consistent

lust

for the American progressives for a hundred years.

Yeah, and they have been carefully

crafting this story about war for a long time.

Climate change is this generation's World War II.

They've been saying that for how long?

A long time.

Right.

So now, if they officially declare war on it and declare a climate emergency, that changes

everything.

That changes everything.

The president can will take basic war powers and be able to do whatever he wants, but I don't know what else he wants to do, quite honestly.

He's already doing everything.

Yeah, I mean, the student loan situation, which again, and they're not really loans.

When you don't pay them back, they're not loans.

But the student loan situation is a great example of it.

I I mean, he's doing everything he can.

He's rolling over the Supreme Court in front of everyone's eyes.

Yep.

And no one cares.

It's like story 87 every day if he does anything on it.

Nobody cares.

Other than to say, he just gave the young people billions of dollars.

What a good man.

That's the only way it gets covered.

People have got to understand that their tax dollars, your hard-earned dollar, is going to fund Iran, is going to pay off the martyrs of the October 7th Hamas attacks.

We just told you that story yesterday.

Those are your tax dollars.

Your tax dollars, you're somebody, do you make $300,000 plus a year?

Well, you just bailed out through this illegal, you know,

loan forgiveness.

from President Biden.

You just bailed out people that make over $300,000 a year.

And what happens when the courts reverse this, which they probably will?

Are they taking the money back from the,

you know, from, I mean, maybe they will from the $300,000 personality.

But where will it go?

I'm like, yeah, where does it go?

Yeah, certainly we don't get it back.

No.

And do they take it away?

You're telling me this government, like, before an election is going to be like, oh, well, you know, the person that made $27,000 a year, we're going to go back and take the $14,000 in loans we just paid off.

There's no way they're doing that.

I mean, they're going to find a way out of it.

And this is someone who cares about

student loans in the grand scheme of things.

What you should care about even more is the fact that they

know how the government works.

They know if you want to spend $500 billion, they know how to do it.

You got to go to Congress.

You got to get approval for that.

They don't even have to come up with the money.

They just have to get approval for it so that they can print more money, right?

So they can go out and they can do that.

And they just skip that process completely.

They try to do it through executive order.

It gets overturned by the Supreme Court and then they do it again.

Yeah.

They admit that they know they cannot do it.

Yep.

They cannot do it.

They admit it several times.

Then they just do it.

Then the court overturns and says, You cannot do that.

And they just do it anyway.

And they keep expanding it.

Now, the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act.

Gosh.

Why do you say that, Jason?

I mean, it's just amazing to me that they're empowering FISA to get even worse at a time when we actually have a committee.

We have to have a committee on the weaponization of government.

Like, how bad do we think this is going to get?

The reforms on this thing.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

So you know,

it was

this is this is the FISA thing, the section 702, what is it, 702, 701, 702.

And it was, you know, goes back through Congress and nobody wants to talk about it.

And some of the GOP stands up.

Most of them are worthless.

And this is for warrantless wiretaps on you.

But in between the votes,

right before the final vote,

members of the House Intelligence Committee inserted new and troubling language now that we are discovering.

It not only allows you to,

if you're eavesdropping on somebody and they're contacting somebody overseas, blah, blah, blah, they could be a spy.

It now

is just not, well, the phone call or the

email.

It's now computer centers.

It is an enormous range of businesses.

It could be your business.

Anyone who has

a server

is now

at the whims of the federal government.

It makes all of us spies

and all of us also

the spied upon.

Yeah, I mean, it's so much worse.

So before, let's say, Let's just say Stu is accused of doing some kind of foreign dealings with a Russian asset or whatever.

Well, they would have to go through, the government would have to go through whoever your wireless provider is and then get permission to listen in on your phone calls with this person.

Correct.

Now, with these additions, they don't have to do that.

They could say, well, he works at the Blaze.

So we know they have a Wi-Fi.

So we're just going to tap into the Wi-Fi.

The Blaze has no choice but to comply.

And not only that, but they can't talk about it.

You are under a gag order, so you can't reveal that to anyone.

So, how many other people are connected to that Wi-Fi?

So, here, here you describe all sorts of stuff unrelated.

Grocery stores, department stores, hardware stores, laundromats, barbershops, fitness centers, commercial landlords that rent out office space where people go to work every day.

Let's see.

Everyone is a spy

is what they're calling this.

So, now,

no matter where you are,

the government can just come in, gag order.

We're taking over your servers.

We need to see all the traffic on your servers.

So

there is no safe place anymore for privacy.

I'm not saying safe place for bad guys.

I want bad guys to be caught.

I want a warrant.

What they're doing now is a general warrant.

General warrants are exactly what caused the revolution.

It was really clear that we were against general warrants and the founding of this country.

Yeah, there's

one thing they were most pissed off about.

There's like two different

out of the ten, I think warrants

are in two of the ten of the amendments.

And let's kind of like talk through some scenarios on that because I think that's really important because this is kind of a hard concept, you know, to really think about.

But I mean, I mean, we already don't trust the government.

The government is already overstepping.

They are weaponized.

Imagine how they can take advantage of, let's take the stew example again why why the why do we keep going to the stew example

i mean i just want to make sure

i should i just want to make sure there are no p-tapes there are no p-tapes i was like the most likely person to be surveilled by the government okay thank you for something bad stew thank you okay so what other information could they gather when they have access to the entire wi-fi of this building let's say we have confidential sources that they really want to out jeffy works in this building can you imagine what is on the wi-fi of this building okay let's not use our own network as an example anymore we're going too far No,

but you're right.

Seriously, you are going in.

They can spy because

if somebody is a, you know, let's say CBS News is renting space in a business

and they're in Washington, D.C., and it's not their building, but they may have a floor.

All they have to do is go to the building and say, we need access to the Wi-Fi and they'll have everything they need.

They'll be able to access all confidential files.

It is literally a backdoor into everything.

And you know how easy it would be to abuse for the government?

Let's say they want a confidential source from CBS News.

CBS News probably has an affiliate in some country that has a foreign adversary.

Let's say they have a correspondent in Moscow.

Oh, the government can make a case.

Oh, this correspondent met with this person that we know is an FSB agent.

Instantly, they don't need the warrant.

They can just go and take it over and get whatever they want.

Let's say a bank who also has a foreign

affiliate in Moscow or wherever.

Instantly, they can say, oh, we want pre-knowledge of what this bank is doing, some of the things, you know, some of their policies, whatever.

Instant access to that bank, get whatever information they want.

This is the spy.

This is Big Brother.

I would say the beginnings, but it's already beginning.

But this is Big Brother pump getting another dose of steroids.

Now add the national emergency to that.

Oh, my gosh.

Now add a war or terrorism to to that.

There's no,

we're China.

We're China.

There is no escape.

There is no escape.

And I don't understand.

I mean, the people who are making the decisions in our government right now, and I blame both parties, but the people who are...

Oh, I mean, Johnson is supporting this, right?

Yes.

So, I mean, he's the Speaker of the House.

You're still going to get...

There's talk about how it needs to be passed with Democratic votes, which is true, but you're still going to get 100-plus plus voters from the republican side to say no you you want to know if you really want to know who you can trust in washington just look at how they voted on this bill

if they voted yes for this don't trust them don't trust them they've either sold out they're being manipulated uh they're being spied on whatever it is i don't care but you can't trust them

now this is a new change by the way because i mean i've heard people talk about other elements of this bill and say well this is there's two different elements of FISA.

This is the one about foreign contacts.

There are some good things that we could use this for.

And

I think that's largely true.

However, if you have something like this that expands that power, you have to shut it down.

You have to shut it down.

And they don't.

And they don't.

And they're not.

And they're not.

There's a couple of other things that the FCC is now growing in its regulatory abilities.

They're just taking over the internet.

and they're doing it and they're just all kinds of new regulatory rules that they're putting in

and

it will choke the internet to death

and control the internet.

It is another way to come at anybody who is saying something or doing something

that the government doesn't like.

It is the way to control them again.

This is the largest expansion, and nobody's nobody's even talking about it.

This is the largest expansion of FCC power ever.

And nobody's talking about it.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, I mean, America, if this is what you want, this is what you're going to get.

For me and my family, I serve the Lord.

I will answer only to the Lord.

There is no king but Christ.

There is a constitution that I will follow.

There are laws and the amendments that that I believe in and that I will follow.

I will not support anyone who is saying, you know what, we have to have extra powers to stop all this.

No, you don't.

You need the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

That's it.

I am not for overthrowing the government as specified by our founding documents.

I am absolutely.

for standing up against any government that is abusing those rights,

but I will not stand with people who are standing up against that government who are like, you know what, but we got to take matters into our own hands.

We've got to take on these extra.

No,

no,

no, we don't.

And I refuse to be a part of anybody saying that we should have a national divorce.

I am not leaving the documents and the founding of this country in their hands.

They left it.

They left it.

Not me.

I still believe in those documents.

They do not.

They can secede.
