I want to talk to you about a sponsor of ours called Covenant Eyes.

They cover something that nobody really wants to talk about, pornography.

It is rampant in our culture.

It destroys marriages.

It destroys men.

It's like any hard drug.

In fact, it has the same kind of problems that heroin has, the effects on the brain.

It's addicting and it's very hard to quit.

You might have experienced it yourself.

You might have, you know, with somebody you love.

I want to talk to you about the victory app by Covenant Eyes.

It is a powerful tool for Christians who are serious and want to quit porn altogether for good or maybe never start in the first place.

It combines industry-leading technology with decades of experience and leadership.

Once you've installed the Victory app on your devices, it'll run silently in the background, notifying a person of your choosing if your online behavior doesn't match your goals.

Recovery from addiction is a journey.

Please get started on your path to recovery.

Stand up straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to ride.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

New poll is out, finding Democrats are losing big among black and Hispanic Americans.

It should be extraordinarily concerning to the Democratic Party.

We'll tell you about that, which kind of leads me to all of the stories out about Joe Biden and all of his gaffes lately and his mental decline and how it just can't continue and can't be ignored anymore.

I think this goes into he's not going to be the candidate that actually runs.

And speaking of candidates, Nikki Haley after Nevada said Trump rigged that state and so we don't even count it.

Good, more rigging.

Speaking of that, the Supreme Court today is hearing arguments and we're allowed to dip into the audio today and actually hear the Supreme Court arguments online and on the radio today is something that really is very rare, but they're talking about whether or not you can take Donald Trump off the ballot.

All kinds of doors in Pandora's box open up.

This is a razor-edge kind of ruling.

We'll hear the arguments coming up in just a second.

Also, papers, please.

The continual march to fascism continues, and the EU lawmakers are now calling for a travel ban on Tucker Carlson who also was added to what's called the kill list from Ukraine.

Oh man, who doesn't love freedom of speech in the press?

Oh, they don't.

We'll continue and begin there in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Life Lock.

You want to know the latest craze in cyber criminal world?

It's QR codes.

They're on everything.

Turns out pretty easy to replace a legitimate QR code with one that will direct you to malicious sites that, you know, exist just to steal your data from your phone.

If it doesn't sound like a lot of fun, then you should have Life Lock and get protected.

It's important that you are protected because your personal information gets exposed so often, making it dangerously easy for a cyber criminal to steal your identity.

But protecting yourself can be easy with Life Lock by Norton.

LifeLock detects and alerts you to the threats you might not spot on your own, things like loans taken out in your name or cyber criminals pretending to be you.

If you do become a victim of identity theft, a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist is going to work to fix it for you.

So, you know, you gotta love those people that just hate fascism so much that if a reporter goes in and gets the other side, you put them on a kill list, don't you?

I mean, I think it's great.

Nobody's even seen the interview yet, they don't even know what the questions were to Putin.

It's not posted until

five o'clock tonight, I think.

Yeah, but wait, wait, wait, wait.

But does it matter, Pat?

Does it matter

what the questions questions are?

No, it doesn't.

And does it matter to you?

I mean, he still has a right to go.

Oh, of course.

I mean, it matters to me personally.

I mean, I'm hopeful that he's going to ask some tough questions of Putin.

But should he be able to, as a journalist, go over there and interview him?

Yes, a million have done that.

Why is it okay for Mike Wallace and Barbara Walters and all the rest to have done it?

But now all of a sudden it's off limits to Tucker Carlson.

It's unbelievable.

Members of the European Parliament are calling for sanctions against Tucker Carlson.

Man, I mean, that's real accomplishment there.

You know what I mean?

And the European Parliament's coming after you.

Carlson posted a video on X announcing that he was going to do the Moscow interview with Putin.

And the former prime minister of Belgium said the bloc should consider imposing a travel ban for serving as a mouthpiece for Putin.

He doesn't know that.

They don't know that yet.

You haven't heard the interview.

And he's a journalist.

My gosh, where were you when everybody was hyping up Hitler?

So it drops tonight.

And here's how I'm going to watch it.

And I would like to get your opinion, Pat,

on what to look for in this interview.

First of all, we know Megan Kelly has talked about, and you know this going in, and Tucker's smart enough to know this.

Putin is very good at propaganda, and he's a KGB guy.

Okay, so he knows how to manipulate people.

And he knows that there are people looking for an American dictator in America.

They're tired of, I told you, I told you this.

This is how communists take over.

They infiltrate the government and then they activate the people that are...

on the streets grassroots to cause all kinds of problems until the people in the middle are like somebody has got to stop this and that's when the top comes down so there are people that are looking for a dictator just to make all this stop i am not one of them uh i think this is the worst possible scenario but dugin would be pushing alexander dugan if you don't know who he is listen to some of the old shows or or just look him up um a very dangerous guy very very dangerous um He would be pushing Putin to talk about our immorality, transgenderism, our loss of faith.

Tucker has got to keep this on the rails.

This is not about America.

We could talk about that all day long, but I don't want to hear that from Vladimir Putin.

We're here to talk to you about the American involvement in this war in Ukraine, not our internal policy.

But

Tucker will have lost control of the interview.

if he allows Putin to go on about America's immorality more than once.

You can let him say that once, and then you got to say, Mr.

Putin, this is not about America.

We have our own problems, but I don't think it's appropriate to talk to you about our internal policy.

I'm here to talk to you about NATO, even the American war machine, if you want to call it that.

I want to hear why you're in Ukraine.

Are you willing to look for peace?

What would that look like?

So look for Putin to spin this whole thing into transgenderism

and what's happening in our schools.

Because

that then is propaganda.

We know who Putin is.

We know how he stops drugs on the streets.

We know how he treats media members who speak out about him in a negative way.

They usually fall from their apartment window or they go up to a higher floor and then jump from that, or I'm sorry, fall out of that window.

Happens all the time.

He has to talk about a peace deal, even the drones that have come from Ukraine, from us, NATO, all of that.

Tucker also says, we've been lied to.

I want to know about what.

We know our problems.

Now let's hear solutions

to the war.

and what the truth is on war.

That's what I'm looking for tonight from Tucker.

I hope that's what he does.

If he keeps it on track like that, it'd be a great interview.

It'd be a great interview.

Because

nobody's ever heard from Putin why the invasion took place in the first place.

Why did you invade at this time?

What are you talking about?

These the Nazis that are involved in Ukraine.

Explain that to me.

Who's a Nazi in Ukraine?

Are you saying Vladimir Zelensky is a Nazi?

No, there is.

You know, because we did this when Trump was being impeached, and remember that huge chalkboard I did, Pat?

It had all of this in it.

There are Nazis,

and the Ukrainian government has been

funding them on the border for security.

There are some really, really bad guys.

There's nobody that's good in this.

I mean, nobody, nobody that's a good guy in this.

Either side, Zelensky or Putin.

I personally just, they should work it out.

The reason why I think Putin did this is because we refuse to say, no, we've made a promise from the very beginning.

It wasn't written down, but we're people of honor.

We will not allow

Ukraine

into NATO.

And we won't let Ukraine be overrun by you, but we're also not going to let them into NATO.

That's all that Putin was asking for at first.

And that was violated.

I mean, that's just a fact.

That's just a fact.

And so they went back on that promise that we weren't going to allow them into or invite them into NATO, and we did that.

So

that was a problem of our making.

So

there's an article out by me, an op-ed out by me on Blaze Media about being a fascist.

If you're on the side of freedom, you cannot be a fascist.

Let me explain this.

Fascist is the label of choice from the left to silence any and everybody.

You're a fascist.

You're a fascist.

And when you hear fascist, you think of concentration camps, as you should, because those are usually a product of fascism in the end, because you have to get rid of your political opponents because they are standing in the way of progress.

So unless you're in a free state, you you can't have people who disagree with you.

That's really important.

What's happening with Tucker Carlson in the EU?

What's happening?

What do they want to do to Tucker Carlson?

You're in a free state.

You have a First Amendment right to be able to have unfettered access to press, and the press can ask whatever it is they want.

The first definition of freedom is being able to speak your mind.

So the first thing that you'll notice about fascism is it has to silence the voices that disagree.

Okay.

I will invite and have invited anybody and everybody on this program.

They're choosing not to.

That's fine.

That's up to them.

But don't try to silence me.

I'm not trying to silence you.

If there is fascism in the country, it is coming from the left.

And

you should not throw the word fascist around.

It's never really fit in the United States up until recently, maybe in the last 15 years we've started moving towards that.

First, I thought we were moving towards communism, but we're not moving towards communism.

The difference between communism and fascism, communism is collective.

So it's, we're all in this together and the individual doesn't matter.

We have to do what's right for the collective.

But communism takes that a step further and says, therefore, the state shall own and run everything.

And they'll tell you where you're going to work, what you're going to do, all of it.

Fascism is different.

Fascism allows the people to own their own property, own their own things with the illusion of running them.

Okay?

And so the state gets involved every step of the way.

And this is why fascism eventually falls apart because you start to get into price controls and everything else.

And you start just telling these companies what they can and cannot make.

And

the government can't central,

centralized power never works.

You can't have central command for, you know, some sort of capitalism, if you could even call that.

Now, the reason why I'm bringing this up is because yesterday, Janet Yellen was asked by

Ayanna Presley.

She asked Janet Yellen, Secretary of the Treasury, if racism posed a threat to the American financial system.

Well, yes, of course, said Secretary Yellen.

Financial institutions perpetuate and benefit from racism, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

So, Yellen said it could be, and it is one of the factors that Dodd-Frank told us to take into account considering designations.

So what her point was, why Presley brought this up, was because is racism a problem that the Treasury is looking at?

The Treasury should not be looking at racism.

The Treasury should be looking at basic laws for finance.

So Presley said there's a drugstore in Walgreens

and Walgreens in Roxbury, Massachusetts,

they closed and they said it was because of crime.

But that's life-threatening and it's based on racial discrimination and economic grounds.

Okay?

So

what she's saying is Walgreens, even though they said they cannot

open their doors because they're robbed every day and no one can have business,

Presley says the government should consider that racism and therefore tell Walmart or Walgreens exactly what to do.

I'm sorry, you're not closing down there.

You have to keep it open.

That's fascism, gang.

That is fascism.

One more story.

The feds now want to card you to use the internet.

U.S.

lawmakers' motivation for online ID and age verification and tech CEO support for these measures is a significant shift in privacy and your anonymity online.

What they're talking about now, and it was suggested first by Mark Zuckerberg, it would be great, wouldn't it?

That

you have to perform, you have to have a digital ID that will allow you on the internet.

So whenever you do that, now positively, absolutely, everything

is monitored on what you do.

You do have

a right to privacy.

You know,

if everybody is tracking what you do, what you look at, AI can put together,

well, for instance, if you're looking up a bunch of different drugs, AI can put together and go, oh, he's making crack cocaine or, oh, he's trying to find out where he can buy this to kill his wife and bury her in the backyard.

And you'd say, that's good.

But if you're in fascism and you have giant overlords that are watching over you on everything, you can't come up with a better mousetrap.

You can't have government watching your every move.

This is fascistic.

Again, the government in bed with big tech.

Back in just a minute.

APR for the rates in the five starts at 6.275% for well-qualified buyers.

Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

We are fighting a war.

You know this, both literally and on a cultural level, on a political level, mainly, I think, on a spiritual level, but most people haven't woken up to that yet.

Things are going to get intense as we go along.

And believe it or not, it is being fiscally responsible to look at your role in all of this.

this.

Do you own a home?

Do you have credit cards that are way out of whack with interest rates?

Great news, interest rates have dropped now and they're in the fives, which is a lot lower than they were last year.

And I think they're going to be low this year.

They may even fall this year because of the

election.

They're going to make everything easy for you.

So you might want to move now on the high interest credit card and get, you know, break free from that and refinance your credit card debt, you can write off the interest.

You're going to save the average person in this audience last year, saved an average of $854 a month.

That's like giving yourself a $10,000 raise, and you might be able to skip up to two mortgage payments.

So, American Financing, call them now: 800-906-2440.

10 seconds, station ID.

So the other thing that concerns me about fascism in America, and you have to explain to your friends, because that's such a loaded word.

We're not talking necessarily about actual Nazis.

And

it never starts out with that.

It never starts out with, it just starts out, the book burning was the first thing in Germany.

Okay.

First thing.

And it was all about LGBTQ because the people in Germany were like, all of our, you know, everything that made us a German republic is being destroyed by the Weimar Republic.

And these morals

and changing men into women, it's got to stop.

Well, the Nazis answered that question with book burnings.

And so it usually starts that way.

And we have to be really, really careful.

Europe is already up in arms because Donald Trump got us out of the Paris Accord, so we are a few years behind Europe.

But farmers in France and Germany, all over

Europe, Sweden, Italy, they are all en masse rising up.

And it's all because the price of diesel fuel,

the idea that you can't use

insecticides or you can't use fertilizer anymore, and you have to reduce the herd size that you have of animals for meat.

They know they can't survive.

The government is offering handouts.

to, you know, no, no, we'll help you survive, to reduce the size of their food input.

If you get rid of fertilizer, you reduce the crops by 40 to 50 percent.

People are going to starve.

Farmers are going to lose,

are going to lose their farms.

And you will get a bunch of experts in a giant corporation to run them then, huh?

You need to watch last night's TV show.

It's available everywhere, including on the YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck, or on Blazetv.com.

Come and support us.

Watch last night's special on what's really happening.

It's not about Biden and Trump.

This is happening all over the world.

Watch it.

Glenn Beck.

Standing up for what you believe in can be challenging.

I know that.

And if you're not exercising that muscle now and doing the easy things,

no matter how much you think you will, you won't stand up when it really becomes hard.

So you need to exercise this muscle.

You need to do the things that aren't so challenging.

And one of those things could be like buying from companies that share your values.

Buying locally is big.

We need to stick together now more than ever.

There's one company that's willing to stand with you in the defense of liberty and religious freedom, and they've been doing it since 2012.

It's Patriot Mobile.

On top of having everything you could possibly want in a mobile phone plan, on one of the three major networks, Patriot Mobile also does not send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.

You will get the same nationwide service and coverage.

You will save money by switching to Patriot Mobile, and you'll be supporting a company that's helping save America.

They have us planned for your budget.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

I want to thank WELI in New Haven for hosting us this week.

They've been so gracious, so gracious,

as have so many people.

My father-in-law is in the hospital at Yale, New Haven, and has been very, very sick for a while now.

But he keeps, I mean, he's got like not nine lives.

He has the lives of nine cats.

And he just keeps chugging along.

This has been a very, very frightening one.

He is.

He's been in the hospital since last week, and they're taking him off life support today

in hopes that his his body will be able to function.

But he's on 24-hour dialysis and, you know, heart medicine to keep his heart going.

And none of those can be,

you know, you can't walk around with a dialysis machine.

And

so we're taking him off today.

And then I think it's tomorrow he'll have the regular three-hour dialysis, which is a real shock to your body.

I mean, it's, you know, taking all your blood out, cleaning it, and pushing it back in in a three-hour period.

And it's been, uh, it's been screwing up his heart and his liver.

And I mean, it's just the body is such an amazing thing.

And when you see what it takes, what kind of machinery it takes to, you know, clean your blood, which a small little organ does in your body, two little organs, your kidneys, it's, it's incredible how people don't go, yeah, you know what?

I think there's, you know, it's not Lincoln logs.

And when one thing goes wrong with your body, it just starts to cascade.

And it's amazing.

So I'm going to be dealing with that this weekend.

Please keep him and the family.

As we also heard, the kid's aunt,

who has been fighting cancer, was just put into the hospital.

And this may be her last weekend as well, just in another hospital down the street.

So it's, yeah, it's going to be, hey, happy birthday, Glenn.

It's It's my 60th tomorrow.

It's almost like God is saying, you get the point yet?

Do you get, do you understand the point yet?

Yes, I do.

Okay, I get it.

So, well,

it's good that we've got surprises and planned for your birthday

celebration tomorrow.

Pat, what is this?

Really?

Seriously?

I can't tell.

I keep hearing from,

but I told them, you know, your producers came to me and they're like, we're going to do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And I'm like,

he doesn't like surprises on the air.

You know that, right?

I like surprises off the air.

Yeah, not on the air.

Not on the air.

Right.

They usually don't go well is what I told them.

So, but they think this is going to go really well.

So

I'm excited about it.

Oh, no.

Do you not know what it is?

I don't know exactly precisely.

I know some.

I know some people and some things,

but not everything.

Nobody cares.

Honestly, nobody cares.

Lots of people are having their 60th birthday.

You know, I'm not alone in that.

And nobody cares.

If you want to do something, did you tell them this?

If you want to do something, what would I like, Pat?

What would I like on the air?

If you're going to do something, marking my birthday.

A roast.

Yeah, a roast.

A giant wrecking ball on me.

I would love that.

I would love that.

Mocking you, making fun of you.

Mocking me, you know,

putting me in a wheelchair for the day.

No, Jeffy and I can handle that part of it.

Well, could you?

Could you balance this out if it's going to be...

I think I could do that.

And keep it, keep, as my uncle Leo used to say, keep it ashore.

He put it as short.

Yeah.

Okay.

So that's tomorrow.

So that's tomorrow.

What if I suddenly get sick?

That would, you know, we'd have to do it without you, I'm sure.

It might be better.

All right.

So let's see.

There's a couple of other things that are going on.

The U.S.

debt on a pace now to top $54 trillion

by

2030.

What would it be?

It was 10 years.

So

that's not bad, right?

It's not a quadrillion yet.

No,

it's a long way from a quadrillion.

It's a long way from a quadrillion.

A long way from a quadrillion.

So

that's a good thing.

I love the stat and repeat this often, that it took us from George Washington to Ronald Reagan in 1980 to accrue $1 trillion in debt.

Now we do it every 100 days.

A trillion more every 100 days.

You remember when a trillion used to mean something?

Yeah.

Honestly, I cannot, when I look at, you know, $50 million, the government just wasted $50 million.

You're like, you don't even think about that anymore.

Yeah, you're like, so big deal.

Why is anybody talking about $40 million?

Oh, big deal.

If it's billion,

you even kind of think.

Yeah, you barely pay attention to that.

Wait, you're only talking about $60 billion to go to Ukraine?

Man, why am I opposed to that?

That's fine.

I mean, we remember that all day.

We've wasted that by this afternoon.

Yep.

What do you, you know, you remember?

Barack Obama did, what was it, 700?

I can remember the number, I think, $787

billion stimulus package.

Wasn't that the number?

Yes, that was.

You know me.

I don't remember numbers.

I don't remember facts like that.

$787 billion.

That was in 2008 after the collapse.

And it was so, it started the tea party.

Yeah.

Because everybody said $787 billion.

That's crazy.

That's almost a trillion.

You're right.

We're doing a trillion dollars every 100 days.

There's over 300 days in a year.

It's madness.

Oh my gosh.

It's absolute madness.

So that's more than $3 trillion a year.

$3.5 trillion a year.

And

still, you know, the things that America should be in the streets revolting about,

we don't even bat an eye at.

So why is that?

Why is that?

Are we.

I've been thinking about that.

I think we're beaten down, for one thing.

I think we've just been beaten down, and we don't think that anything works, and nobody listens to us.

It doesn't matter.

Then why are they working so hard to silence all of us?

Seriously, if it doesn't work, why are they working so hard?

Look at Tucker Carlson went over and did an interview.

The EU wants to ban his travel all across Europe

because now he's an enemy of the state.

All he did was go over and talk to Putin, put it on film, and bring it back and show it.

Are you kidding me?

That makes you an enemy of the state?

A.

Fascism.

B, it should tell you why they are trying to silence voices and your voice, quite honestly.

They're trying to silence everybody.

They are afraid of you.

I don't know why we don't get that.

I really, I don't.

Yeah.

I don't.

I know.

And, you know, there's a story from the AP, AP News today.

Millions of Americans are juggling costs.

They pay rent or swim team fees for their kids, rent or school supply, rent or groceries.

What do you pay for?

Most Americans cannot afford their

a record number of Americans can no longer

make ends meet and afford their rent.

The latest data from the Harvard Joint Center of Housing Studies found that a record 22.4 million renter households, half of the renters, are spending more than 30% of their income on rent in 2022.

The number of affordable units, which rents under 600, also dropped to 7.2 million that year, 2.1 fewer than the decade earlier.

So there is a record number of eviction filings, a record number of people becoming homeless.

What do you think is causing this?

God, I just get so frustrated with people.

What is causing this?

Capitalism?

No, it's not.

Capitalism, especially when it's not crony capitalism, which isn't capitalism, that's the beginning of fascism.

Okay.

Man, what is wrong with the left?

What is wrong with all those Democrats who used to say, you can't be in bed?

The government should not be given corporate welfare.

They're doing so much more than corporate welfare now.

Oh, yeah.

What is wrong with you people?

What happened to you?

And they're just

ignoring laws.

all over the country.

You see what's happening in Atlanta right now?

Over 1,200 homes have been taken over by squatters.

The squatters are ruining entire neighborhoods.

Police response to evict them is so slow.

Some

homeowners have resorted to paying nuisances to leave.

They pay the people to please leave my house.

And the cops are telling them, yeah, there's nothing we can do.

We can't remove it.

When?

Because this is what will happen in rich neighborhoods.

Well, it already happens.

You know, they throw a wall around and put a gate out front, and then they hire their own personal security.

Right.

How long before neighborhoods that can afford it?

See, this is why

this is why it hurts the poor first.

When you get rid of the police, it hurts the poor first.

Yes.

And it almost never goes away because the

poor cannot afford to have their own security.

The rich will get their own security in their neighborhoods.

You already pay for that.

And quite honestly, rich people pay for that in your neighborhood as well.

Most people in very poor neighborhoods are not paying taxes.

So who pays for the cops?

The rich people you're trying to get rid of.

Oh, my gosh.

You ever think you've lived too long?

Oh, man.

Probably.

I mean, how...

How many years, Pat, did we spend just being so stupid?

And I have a feeling if we could live another 30 years, we'd look at ourselves today and go, oh my gosh, we were so stupid.

Yeah.

Don't you think?

Oh, I do.

I mean,

look at all of the things.

And this is another frustrating thing.

Look at how far we've come

towards the traditional ACLU kind of person.

You know what I mean?

I don't hate America and I'm not for communism, but I am for,

you know, standing up for the people who are just being railroaded.

I'm standing up for people who can't get an attorney.

I'm for

an end to all of these crazy wars.

Oh, yeah.

I'm totally against all the corporate welfare.

Totally.

I no longer think, oh, you know, corporations, they can't ever get that.

But yes, they can.

And they are.

And I'm actually becoming very, in a way, very anti-rich.

And not rich, I guess, elite.

I mean, when I see Mark Zuckerberg tell everybody.

And there's a big difference there.

There is.

There is.

You know, when I see Zuckerberg tell everybody, hey,

you...

You can't eat meat.

And then he starts a ranch where he's feeding his beef macadamia nuts.

So they'll be so expensive that only the elite will be able to buy them.

I just, I, I, I,

I about lose my mind.

I about lose my mind.

We're just talking about how tough things are for the little guy in this country, for the average American.

It's so bad for the average American.

We're even being priced out of McDonald's right now.

McDonald's CEO admitted the Burger Giants' sales have taken a hit because of their jacked-up menu prices that are turning off their core customers.

And it signals the chain's plans to focus on affordability this year.

Huh.

They've taken a little bit of heat over a Big Mac combo meal priced at about $18

in certain places, like Connecticut, for instance.

It's hurt their sales, as you can maybe imagine.

McDonald's CEO, Chris Kambinski, said, I think you're going to see going into

2024,

probably more attention to what I would describe as affordability.

Yeah, that would be nice because what they've realized is income,

low-income customers, people making less than $45,000 is how they define that, have largely stopped ordering from McDonald's

because it's more affordable to eat at home than it is at McDonald's.

Last week, McDonald's Outpost in Connecticut was slammed for its outrageous prices after customers were charged $7.29, $7.29 for an egg McMuffin and almost $6

for a side of hash browns.

A quarter pounder with cheese and bacon that came with fries and a soda,

$19.

At McDonald's.

Yeah,

that's an issue.

But all of these increased prices they're our fault according to the Biden administration It's our fault because we

We want food we continue to eat food and because of that demand prices are going higher We got to stop eating food That'll bring prices down

hello America well the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in just a few minutes in Trump v.

Anderson the appeal from the president of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision finding him ineligible to appear on the state's ballot under section three of the 14th amendment.

This is,

this will have ramifications if the Supreme Court is not careful.

For the rest of the Republic, shall it live very much longer?

We're going to listen in on the oral arguments as they happen live.

We also have the two parents that claim to have lost their children to the state, their daughter, to the state because their daughter is saying she's a he and wants to transition.

And they say that goes against everything we believe in.

The state took the daughter away, but the state says, no, no, no, not because of that.

Well, is there corruption in a

Department of Child and Family Services?

Is that possible?

We've seen that before because the governor, a Republican, is standing against the parents.

We want to hear their side, and we've invited the governor on to come on and tell us his side, too.

I don't don't know what exactly is happening in this case, but something doesn't smell right.

We'll get into that as well.

Court case begins.

60 seconds.

Mr.

Pat Gray joins me again for the vacationing Stuberg Gear, who seems to be on some sort of, I don't know, French schedule or something, but glad to have you here, Pat.

Good to be here.

Yeah.

Very excited.

So

we're just,

I was just talking Pat off the ledge during the break.

He was, I mean, I thought, I thought, you know, if Putin was behind him, he could push him right out the window right now, and Pat would be dead.

Because he was on the ledge

and saying there's no hope.

Well, we were just watching

Molly Hemingway.

speak about the things in her book, Rigged, How the Media, Big Tech, and the the Democrats seized our elections.

Right.

And here's what we were listening to for Blaze News at the top of the hour.

Listen.

Instead of having election administration that is rigorously nonpartisan and impartial under the law, we have allowed the private takeover of government election offices by partisan oligarchs and their armies of activists who use those offices and their authorities to tilt the election toward favored candidates.

Instead of voters being able to vote for the candidate of their choice, powerful interests backed by wealthy oligarchs are working to remove the most popular candidate and the ruling party's chief opponent from the ballot in a move reminiscent of Soviet Russia.

And if that weren't enough, instead of the top candidates chosen by the people being able to fully engage in a vigorous campaign heading into an election, we have one side actively attempting to throw its opponent in prison and bankrupt his family.

Again, reminiscent of Soviet Russia.

Hmm.

So Pat wasn't feeling real optimistic after that.

No.

No, because what she said is

true.

True.

That is happening.

Yeah, it is.

That is happening.

But here is the thing.

First of all, it hasn't happened.

If the election is close, you can throw it.

One way or the other, you could throw it.

If the election is, you know, five to ten points out, you can't throw that without being very, very obvious.

What we're looking at is an election.

We don't even know if this is going to be the election.

We don't know if Joe Biden is even going to be the candidate.

I think there's growing evidence that he's not.

And the oral arguments that are being heard right now in the Supreme Court, in fact, can we bring this up?

By altering the Constitution's qualifications for federal office.

This is live in the Supreme Court.

Is no different from a state residency law that requires members of Congress to inhabit the state prior to Election Day when the Constitution requires only that members of Congress inhabit the state that they represent when elected.

In both situations, a state is accelerating the deadline to meet a constitutionally imposed qualification.

and is thereby violating the holding of term limits.

And in this situation, a ruling from this court that affirms the decision below would not only violate term limits, but take away the votes of potentially tens of millions of Americans.

I welcome the

President's attorney.

President Trump

did with respect to whether or not Section 3 is self-executing.

So would you address that?

And in doing that,

your argument is that it's not self-executing, but then in that case, what would the role of the state be?

Or is it entirely up to Congress to implement the disqualification

in Section 3?

It is entirely up to Congress, Justice Thomas.

And our argument goes beyond actually saying that Section 3 is non-self-executing.

We need to say something more than that, because a non-self-executing treaty or a non-self-executing constitutional provision normally can still be enforced by a state if it chooses to enact enact legislation.

The holding of Griffin's case goes beyond even that by saying that a state is not allowed to implement or enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment unless and until Congress enacts implementing legislation allowing it to do so.

So, under Griffin's case, which we believe is correctly decided, the Anderson litigants disagree with us on that point.

But if this court were to adhere to the holding of Griffin's case, there would not be any role for the states in enforcing Section 3 unless Congress were to enact a statute that gives them that authority.

Counsel,

so let me explain what they're talking about.

They're talking about, and by the way, I want to get back to Pat's hope.

First of all, there's hope here.

Second of all, more importantly,

I do know the one thing I know about God is that there is no waste in his

doings.

There's nothing wasted.

I wasted most of my life, but he took all the bad things that I did and turned them around on me to where it's actually helped me now that I'm on the right track.

So there's no waste.

Every loss is another

step closer to his vision being executed.

And you have to remember that because at the end, you'll look at this and go, how did that happen?

How did that happen?

And the answer will be God.

Okay, now, section three, this is the 14th Amendment of the U.S.

Constitution.

No person

shall be a senator, representative of Congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office civil or military under the United States or under any state who has previously taken an oath as a member to Congress or as an officer in the United States or as a member of any state legislature or as an executive or judicial officer of any state.

to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House remove such a disability.

So the Constitution says if you have given aid and comfort or you've engaged in an insurrection, and they're saying that Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection.

However,

nowhere, nowhere in any law in the United States are you guilty until proven innocent.

You have to, you can make the charge, but that doesn't make it true.

And of all of the litigations,

everything that is being filed in court, how many of them?

7,000 different court cases coming against him?

Not one

is charging him with insurrection.

Not one.

Or rebellion or giving aid and comfort.

Not one.

Why?

Because they know they can't win that.

So the argument, one of the arguments is the state can't say this.

First of all, it has to be charged.

And then the Constitution says that if that's who he is, if that's what they did, then he can't serve.

But Congress can vote to remove that should they care to.

This was all because of the Civil War.

This is an old-timey law that has never applied since the Civil War.

Just want you to know.

It was set up for the Confederacy.

Yes.

So they wouldn't retake power in the United States.

And they're trying to use it against Donald Trump, a guy who they just throw out the word insurrection about, and then that's supposed to scare all the states to take him off the ballot.

But it's not to support

anybody.

This is all coordinated.

There's a billion dollars at least behind all of this stuff, and it's very well coordinated.

They're trying to

cause chaos.

That's the first thing.

They're trying to challenge everything to make it impossible to be a supporter of Trump or to be Donald Trump or to ever want to be like Donald Trump and stand against the machine.

They're trying to make it absolutely impossible and teach everyone: we are going to tie you in court until you're either in jail, dead, or broke, but we'll break you.

That's what the state is trying to do right now.

And when I say the state, I actually mean the leftist organizations and the, and Molly had it right, the oligarchs that, that are part of this, this cabal to change the way America works.

And this is going to have far-reaching ramifications.

This is not good.

Not good.

That's why the Supreme Court needs to rule correctly on this

for a change.

I mean,

it's been tough.

Even with the so-called conservative court,

some of the decisions they've made are far from conservative.

Right.

So they're arguing now Trump should be removed from the ballot because of his alleged role in recruiting, inciting, and encouraging a violent mob.

Wow.

Wow.

Then they told the Supreme Court in the brief, the former president fails to even acknowledge the the most damning evidence against him.

Take me into a court of law.

So, Trump, his counter is officer of the United States, he did not engage in insurrection.

Only Congress can enforce Section 3.

That's what he was saying, just making that case a minute ago.

The amendment only prohibits holding office rather than appearing on the ballot,

and that the ruling violates Colorado's election code.

So it says he can't serve.

It doesn't say he can't run.

No prosecutor has attempted to charge President Trump with insurrection under the U.S.

Code in the three years since January 6, 2021.

They don't think that this is going to be the strongest case.

I think it is, but I'm not an attorney.

But they think that it will be on

he

the section three, the amendment only prohibits holding office, not running, and being on a ballot.

They think that that's the one that they're going to do because they want to make it very, very narrow so it doesn't affect anything but this case.

Can we listen in a little bit more?

It did away with it later, but I.

But that has nothing to say with respect to what section is.

Can we get to the issue, which is, I think,

one that I go back to that I started with,

and very briefly,

what sense does it say

that states can't enforce Section 3 against their own officials

I think

logically those are two separate issues in my mind can states enforce the insurrection clause against their own office holders or can they enforce it against

federal officials

or can they enforce it against the president.

Those are all three different questions in my mind.

And the answer to all three of those questions turns on whether this court agrees with the holding of Griffin's case.

If Griffin's case is the proper enunciation of the law, then a state cannot do any of the things Your Honor suggested unless Congress gives it authority to do so.

So a

presidential decision that relies on policy, doesn't look at the language, doesn't look at the history, doesn't analyze anything than

the disruption that such a suit would bring, you want us to credit as precedential.

Because Congress relied on Griffin's case when it enacted the Enforcement Act of 1870 and established the Constitution.

So, Mr.

Mitchell, if I may interrupt, but just to clarify, I mean, this sounds like your reply brief, where it sounds like you're not making a constitutional argument, you're really making a statutory preemption argument.

And is that what you're doing here?

You're not saying that the Constitution

of Griffin's case plus the way Congress acted after Griffin's case that gives you the rule?

That's exactly right, Justice Kagan, because we have implementing legislation.

Congress took up the invitation provided by Griffin's case and established writs of quaranto in the 1870 Enforcement Act, later repealed them.

The only enforcement legislation that's currently on the books is the Insurrection Criminal Statute, Section 2383.

And when Congress made all of these decisions, the initial enactment of of the Enforcement Act in 1870, the repeal of the quo warranto provisions in 1948, all of those were made with Griffin's case as the backdrop.

Please.

Well, the understanding was that these congressionally established remedies would be exclusive of state court remedies.

So there's not an express statement of preemption in these statutes, but there didn't need to be because Griffin's case provided the backdrop.

And if I could just understand the argument a little bit better, suppose that we took all of that away.

You know, suppose there were no Griffin's case and there were no subsequent congressional enactment.

What do you then think the rule would be?

So just as a matter of first principles without Griffin's case, it's a much harder argument for us to make because normally

I mean, every other provision of the 14th Amendment has been treated as self-executing.

What we would argue, and that's hypothetical that Your Honor has suggested, is that there are practical considerations unique to Section 3 that counsel in favor of a rule similar to what Chief Justice Chase spelled out in Griffin's case.

And it goes to, I think, the policy concerns he talks about, where this was a case, Griffin's case was a very important thing.

So they really seem to be pressing.

Now, again, we've heard the two liberal judges, but they are pressing the Trump

lawyers quite hard.

I'm reading about the Griffin case.

I can't make heads or tails of it in quick shorthand, but we do have

after the court case, which should last near

at least probably an hour,

we have Alan Dershowitz on with us just a second, and

he's watching it right now, and he's going to be giving us his notes on what he thinks it all means coming up in just a little while.

Standby first.

Please let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's the Burna launcher.

I have it.

It's a great compliment to firearms.

There are situations when less lethal is the way to go.

Burna is the best alternative to apply deadly force.

It fires powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds.

I'll tell you, I had a situation once where my teenager was, my son was sneaking around in the middle of the night and Tanya heard something and she freaked out and she's like, somebody's in the house.

And he had opened the back garage door to get, you know, something out of the freezer in the garage.

And so she's like, the garage door's been open too.

So somebody's in the house.

So I grab my gun and I go out.

Now, Rafe didn't want to get caught.

So,

you know, I'm, I'm coming around and I said, I'm, I hear you.

I know somebody is in the house.

Please announce yourself.

Nobody said anything.

Then I finally said, because I knew it's right around this corner.

And I said, I have a gun.

I fear for the life of my family and I

identify yourself or I will shoot.

And that's when Rafe went, Dad, it's me.

I mean, it was the scariest thing.

I could have killed him.

I could have killed him.

That's when I wish I had a Burna launcher because I think when he said that, I would have hit him with the tear gas.

Oh, it's you.

Boom.

Anyway, Burna is proudly American, made in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it is a less than lethal alternative.

You need your guns, but this also is really great.

Come right out with the

court case.

Pat, do you want to make any comments?

A primary

qualification for certain people

have been free from this disqualification at an earlier point in time than Section 3 specifies.

I think the answer to your question, Justice Alito, depends on how you interpret the word enforce in Section 5.

And some members of this court, such as Justice Scalia, thought that enforce means you can do nothing more than enact legislation that mirrors the 14th Amendment's self-executing requirements, and you can't go an inch beyond that.

That's not the current jurisprudence of this court.

We're going to decide whether it's congruent and proportional, and we would get into the question of whether that would be congruent and proportional.

Well, let me shift

what do you think?

What do you think is the same?

I don't understand why nobody's talking about the fact that

how can you enforce this clause against someone who hasn't been tried, let alone convicted of insurrection?

How is it even an issue?

I don't understand that how why aren't they arguing that because i think that goes back to the griffin case the griffin case um

was about this person that was in a conspiracy you know for the uh civil war yeah um upheld the federal uh conviction

um

no matter what happened at a lower case i think but we're gonna get alan dershowitz all right on in a minute

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor, and we thank you so much for listening.

Jim wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.

He said, I used to have extreme lower back pain.

Nothing I tried really touched it.

Then I heard about Relief Factor and decided to give it a try.

Relief Factor worked so well and so quickly, it eliminated the pain, allowing me to function better than I ever had before.

Thank you so much, Relief Factor.

This is a daily supplement that helps your body fight the pain by fighting inflammation.

So see how Relief Factor can help you.

The Krista and Todd Colstad family in Glasgow, Montana is accusing the state of Montana, the Child Protective Services, of kidnapping

their teenage daughter after the girl began to identify as a transgender boy.

The child's stepmother, Krista, explains the nightmare began August of 23 after they received a call that their 14-year-old daughter, Jennifer, had expressed suicidal ideations while at school.

Later on the same evening, a caseworker with the Montana Child and Family Services showed up at the Colstad home to speak with

Jennifer and do an inspection of the home.

During the interview with CFS, Jennifer claimed to have consumed toilet bowl cleaner and painkiller medications that day in an effort to commit suicide.

Krista said that it immediately struck her as being highly unlikely.

Not only did Jennifer not have access to other substance, you know, these kinds of substance unmonitored, but Jennifer had expressed no symptoms of imminent illness that day.

Despite the doubts, Krista and Todd agreed to take Jennifer to the local hospital on an emergency basis.

They found in all the blood work and everything else, she had not consumed any of these things.

Copies of the medical paperwork to substantiate their claim that Jennifer had not consumed any of the dangerous substances confirms that there were no abnormalities detected in her system.

Her physical health was good.

However,

they consistently mentioned that Jennifer identifies as a male and wishes to be called Leo.

Krista says she and Todd immediately made their objections to the hospital staff known.

They're supposed to call her by her birth name.

We were very clear in the emergency room that this goes against our values, our morals, our religious beliefs.

They told me to call a lawyer if I have an issue because they're going to do what the patient tells them to do.

Then...

She said, we came in and our daughter was talking about having top surgery and being non-binary.

She took her complaint to the on-duty doctor who dismissed her.

He told me, why are you not more concerned that your daughter trying to harm herself than what the aide is talking about with her?

They then tried to switch her out of state to Wyoming.

There are six facilities in Montana that she could go to.

They had a facility in Wyoming.

The family looked it up.

Looked like kids were allowed to have procedures done and hormones without parental consent.

So when the hospital called, they said, we have an opening in Wyoming and she needs to go there.

Quote, she has to go.

She's not doing any good here, end quote.

The parents said, not on your life.

That's when things got ugly.

They showed up,

CFS showed up at their home to serve us with papers to take Jennifer out of our care, according to Krista.

They told me the reason was we were unable or refusing to provide medical care.

That's not true.

Now, the Republican governor has come out against the family.

And honestly, I don't understand this.

They keep saying, well,

we don't take children out of the home if it's just a transgender thing.

But yeah, I get that, but I'm looking at the document: immediate threat to danger.

There's nothing checked except child needs medical attention, and parents are unwilling to perform parental duties.

So

that's the loophole.

Is this an out-of-control state agency or what's happening?

We have both of the parents on with us now.

I can't imagine being you guys.

Krista and Todd Colstad, thank you for coming on the program.

Thanks for having us.

We appreciate it.

So,

Krista,

what do you suppose?

Why did the governor come out

in defense of this?

You know, I don't have an answer for that.

There's no reason for him to.

It's not hard to say, I made a a mistake or this shouldn't have happened and apologize.

I really don't know why he's coming out against us.

Todd?

Todd, are you there?

Yes, I am.

Yeah, is there any

idea in your mind?

Is there anything that

is happening or has happened in your home that we don't know about?

Absolutely not.

It's as simple as that.

We keep going back to what the guardian ad litem said that they sent to our house.

She saw that everything was fine.

We have a very nice home, a very comfortable life.

And she flat out told us, she asked if we were going to be willing to raise our daughter as a boy with the transgender care.

And she said, if we aren't, then she said we're not going to like what she has to say in court.

And that is exactly how it went.

Now, you got a call just recently that

she's not in Montana, she's in Canada.

So they moved her across state lines and then out of the country to her mother, who, if I'm not mistaken, and please correct me if I'm wrong, there's been some

issues with mom as well in the past.

Is that true?

That is true.

There is some documented, some documents that we've submitted from counselors and whatnot supporting our claims.

And then also,

you know, her birth mom just wasn't really involved in her life in the last seven years, never called her, never visited or anything like that.

So this is really a stranger to her.

And so we do have some great concerns.

That and the fact that I believe Canada, you know, operates on a whole different system as far as transgender care.

So we have some great concerns about her being there.

Did you have joint custody or

you did have joint custody?

Okay.

You were going to say, Doctor?

Oh, there was no custody battle with them.

We were on speaking terms with them.

So there was no problem with that.

There was CPS is the ones that initiated the contact with her in Canada and then started pushing to send her there.

So what do you have remaining to

do?

What can you do from here?

Well,

we're getting more lawyers involved.

We're challenging the gag order based on our First Amendment freedom of speech rights.

And we're continuing to speak out.

We just want other families to be aware.

And by bringing light to our situation, we're hoping that we can help others.

And this doesn't happen to another family.

So,

you know,

I've seen the documents from the state.

And the state and the governor say that's not the reason why she was taken out of the house.

So this is...

And, you know, I'm really uncomfortable because we can't find anything bad on you guys.

And the state kind of, it feels kind of like they're saying, well, we got something else here and we just can't tell you.

And I, I mean, it, it makes it hard.

Have you, have you guys tried to engage

some of these, you know, law firms that are out there to help parents like you?

Why do you have a public defender still?

Well, we are interviewing lawyers currently.

So yes, we are engaged with these lawyers and trying to get different legal representation.

So to better answer that, to better answer that, the world has changed drastically when it comes to finding an attorney.

When you blindly look, start Googling areas, family law, you have to find an attorney that can practice in your state.

Almost all of them are scheduling first consultations like eight months out.

That's how busy they are.

And then when they hear that's the state, they don't want to get involved.

So it's

this one is, I mean, the Thomas Moore Society.

I mean, there are places that you can call, and maybe you just didn't know about them, but there are big

organizations that take these cases and they move rapidly when it comes to children because, you know, seven months is a long time with a child.

And so

I'm wondering, have you been contacted by anybody?

Or can, you you know we'll give you the phone numbers?

Because that's

I was going to say, I have not heard of the Thomas More Society, so I will definitely look them up and get in contact with them.

But several agencies have contacted us, and we've the from what I understand, and I'm not a lawyer, so from what I understand, the way it works is if they don't practice in Montana, then they have to find a lawyer that does practice in Montana, and then they become the co-counsel.

So the issue is they're having a lot of time, a hard time finding lawyers that practice in Montana that are willing to take this on with them.

Pat is from the great state of Montana.

Pat, what do you know about this governor?

Almost nothing.

You know, I haven't lived in Montana for

a year.

I didn't buy it.

Yeah, I don't know virtually anything about him.

You know, Montana is perceived to be a Republican state, but they elect Democrats on a fairly regular basis.

Yeah.

And so maybe this guy has

rhino tendencies.

I don't know.

How do you guys feel about your governor?

We're very disappointed in the way that this is being handled.

He's never reached out to us.

The

Kristen Juris, I think her name is, the one that he tasked into looking into our case, she called me personally and she just said, I'm going to look at your case.

And then I never heard from her again.

So I don't feel like there's a lot of action on their part.

Well, we have asked the governor to come.

I think we have.

If not, he's invited now and our producers will be reaching out again.

We have been in touch with the governor's office.

And,

you know,

there was something here that I was sent that talks about

that you are

because you guys said no.

to sending her to Wyoming, which I think I would have too.

Yeah, well, state of Montana is limited in disclosing the specifics of cases involving minor children in its care.

Due to the sensitive nature, broadly speaking, the state does not remove minors from homes to provide gender transition services or to use taxpayer funds to pay for those services while a minor is in the custody of the state.

But your child's not in the custody of the state.

Child protective services.

Furthermore, the governor has asked the Department of Public Health and Human Services to codify a formal policy and develop regulation to clarify and ensure the definition of abuse or neglect does not include a parent's right to refuse to provide gender transition services to his or her minor.

So he's suggesting policy, but we also have,

you know, I have seen the Department of Health, CFSD, does not investigate nor remove children based solely on allegations that parents oppose and will not allow their child who has gender dysphoria to transition genders.

So I think that's very consistent with what they're telling you, but I feel that that's a massive loophole.

You're leaning on that.

Yes, if

you would like me to comment on that?

Yes, go ahead.

Okay, so right from the get-go, from day one at the hospital, they immediately had a nurse saying that talking about getting top surgery in front of our daughter, they immediately started calling her a boy, immediately.

And they started, we turned in complaints, but it was immediate.

And there was,

when they said that they were going to have a bed for her in Billings, we knew immediately before that that that was not going to happen because they kept looking at our daughter with an unspoken language like almost assuring her it was going to be Wyoming.

So we knew they were going to pull that card.

And Wyoming allows the transgendering without parental approval on anything.

where Montana, the Dakotas,

Idaho, those states do not.

We were able to stand right there and Google that.

So let me, because I've only got a minute left, let me read this statement.

This came from the Valley County Attorney.

Had the motion been granted, Todd Colstad's legal rights as a parent would have remained fully intact.

The state of Montana would have no more involvement in his relationship with his child.

Mr.

Colstad and his wife objected to dismissal and regrets and requested the state remain involved.

Any statement made otherwise is false and inaccurate.

Well, if we could respond to that, when we were in the courtroom that day, we asked that the birth mother's home be investigated as a safe place for because they said no matter what, they're going to send her to Canada.

And so we had asked that they investigate the birth mom and make sure that that was a safe place for a child to go.

And we explained our concerns, and we even had documentation supporting those concerns.

So that's not exactly true.

We would love to have children's services out of our life.

Our lawyers, who are public defenders still, at the time said, this is

let them investigate the birth mom on the record.

And so we were told that that's all that they were doing.

We didn't understand that we were, you know, hanging out with CPS for another six months.

Further, they've asked us to go to marriage counseling to accept our daughter's transgenderism.

Okay.

All right, guys, we're going to follow this story.

Thank you.

We'll probably talk again.

Thank you so much.

And we're praying for you and especially your daughter that the right thing happens.

Thank you.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

You bet.

Rough greens.

Mindy wrote her dog's experience of rough greens.

She said, it's been a month since I got rough greens for my dog Polo, six-year-old Manchester Terrier mix.

I can't believe the difference.

He always has a sensitive stomach.

For the past year, he wouldn't eat his breakfast until he ate grass first, and the rest wasn't pretty.

Yeah.

Anyway, I heard you talk about rough greens.

Glenn decided to give it a try the next day, and ever since, no more grass eating.

Everything's back to normal.

Thank you.

This rough greens is an amazing supplement that you put on your dog's food, and they want to send you the first bag free.

It's a trial bag, 833-Glenn33.

Just see if your dog will eat it.

Then, as you watch over time,

you will be amazed, I think, at the difference in your dog.

First trial bag is free, you just pay for shipping.

Call 833-Glenn33-833-G-L-E-N-N33 or roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.

Sit tight, boys and girls.

We'll be right back after these messages.

So, the

you know the one that was in Carano versus Chris Cyborg, Strike Force,

you know, I could have taken both of them, but I don't want to get into that when Gina gets on.

I don't want to say, oh, that's a cute little fight women do.

Because I could take you.

I mean, I'd take you to the movies or someplace.

Right.

But anyway, Gina Carano is on with us next.

She is now suing

Disney, and nothing could make me happier.

So great.

So great.

I'm in love with that.

I mean,

she got fired from Disney for expressing her viewpoint on

Twitter, right?

And I mean, somebody had said the same thing virtually, just against the other side of the political spectrum.

The co-star.

Yeah.

The co-star.

And she really was kind of the star of that.

They were talking about that.

She was good.

She was really good in that.

And they were talking about spinning it off and having her own show.

Yeah.

Her career was over

because she said the same thing, except applied to the other side as her co-star did, who survived.

Yeah.

Didn't have a problem with that, did she?

Yeah.

We're going to talk to her next because this lawsuit involving Elon Musk, he's paying for it.

I don't think I need to really do a long introduction, so I'm not going to.

Actress, former MMA fighter, Gina Carano, how are you?

I'm good.

Thank you so much for having me.

You bet.

I have to tell you,

I am so glad to see that you are standing up and fighting back against disney uh and lucasfilm for what happened to you can can you just describe quickly that whole scene

um well quickly

i know i'm sorry no it's okay i actually it was really interesting because for the longest time for the last couple years i was just

you know just distraught you know trying to rebuild my life running into all sorts of um you know problems of trying to you know, recreate my career.

And finally, you know, I was like, you know, I had to just give it to God and say,

all right, you know, you've got me in life.

I'm going to keep going, and I have to let this go and give it to you.

And, you know, whatever justice I get,

you know, I know you're working behind the scenes for me.

And then it was almost as soon as I did that, I got an email from a lawyer that was hired by Elon Musk, an ex to inquire about my case.

And

then I was just so excited, and I emailed him back like immediately.

And,

you know, we started going through all of, you know, I just educated them and I sent them everything I have to date.

And I have a lot more to send them.

And they are, they're wonderful.

And they are just excited.

And they couldn't believe

they were kind of like dumbfounded about

how this happened.

So

that's the quick version.

So you, I mean, you've worked with everybody, Michael Douglas, Fastbenner,

Cheni Tatum, Bill Paxton, Antonio Banderas, Robert De Niro,

Ryan Reynolds.

Have you had any support from these people?

Or are they afraid to come out?

Or how would you describe

what you

your friends are?

Well, that's not my friends.

They're not my friends.

Your co-workers

are incredible people that I've worked with.

You know, I've never had an issue with anybody, with anyone whatsoever,

you know, as far as actors go or crew goes, or for that matter, I've not just, I've just not had an issue on sets ever.

I get along with everybody.

But yes, to answer your question, there have been many people who I have worked with and who I haven't worked with that I've run into, not only just very well-known actors, but also very well very well-known producers and actually people who are still working in Disney and Lucasfilm actively you know have you know they all have shown so much support every single time I've seen any of them and they're I and to be very honest I've not had one person from this industry come up to me and say you know

I deserved that.

They're all saying the complete opposite.

So it's just been kind of mind-bending that

Lucas Film and Disney

couldn't see that as well.

When they contacted you, I assume they contacted you with this, or maybe they just said, ah, it's over for other reasons.

But when you found out that you were being cut out of everything and your career was over because of a tweet that was exactly the same that your co-star

tweeted, except toward the other side, did you point that?

I mean, you had to have gone, guys, wait a minute, hold it.

I mean,

they didn't contact me.

This is very interesting.

I think it just shows what the company was at the time a couple of years ago.

They didn't even contact me to let me know they were letting me go.

They didn't contact me to let me know that there was about to be paparazzi stalkers and people flooding outside my house.

I found all of that out.

just like everybody else did over the internet.

Oh my gosh.

The fact that, you know, and it did, it was awful.

It was

you know, I've been trying to put on a really brave face for the last couple

years, but I mean, I cannot begin to even describe I couldn't leave my house for seven days.

I was being stalked.

I was being harassed.

I was they were coming up to my I had to keep all my blinds closed.

And I had actually lost all hearing.

I don't know.

It was a very interesting random thing.

I lost all of the hearing.

As soon as I was canceled, my hearing got clogged, and I could only hear like 5%.

Was that kind of like, I mean, this is a horrible name for it, but hysterical blindness when you are in so much

trauma.

It felt like that.

It really, yeah, it really felt like that.

Like, it felt like, you know, either that or God just put earmuffs on me.

Wow.

And I just was like, you know, and so I really had to sit there in my head and I

really had to sit there in my head and just go over things.

and it was it was quite it was torturous until I finally was just like okay

I just gave it to God and you know I just it's just it was just such an intense time and you know for them not to even warn me you know I didn't have a I didn't live in a gated community so I was out there

and and that wasn't you know you think that somebody would have you know, just call me and tell me, hey, thank you for all your work and everything.

And we're just no longer going to work with you.

And then they put out the statement about denigrating people off of their religious and cultural beliefs and being abhorrent.

And I was just like, this is,

I just, it was just, at the worst time possible, they really kind of, you know, they definitely put my life in danger at that moment.

So what do you hope happens with this lawsuit?

I mean, I'd love to see the discovery on all of the emails going back and forth.

That'll be nice.

Yes.

Yeah.

I hope that this makes a change.

I hope that it

makes a change in this industry and it makes a change in people's hearts.

You know,

the post that I got fired for originally, or what they said I got fired for,

was never supposed to be what

the media and all of them twisted into.

It was supposed to be, you know, do not demonize your neighbor.

You know, we need to look at each other as human beings because the internet is one thing, but when you get outside and you get around people, there is so much love and there's so much, you know, it's not the internet.

The internet is that is false.

It's a lot of people hiding behind, you know, brave ideas and false accounts.

And

when you get to be around people, there is, you know, we all bleed, you know, red.

We're all just kind of on this earth together.

And so I hope that the outcome for this this

this case is just to make you know everybody kind of be a truly truly uh inclusive um industry in hollywood and make it that much difficult to do what what would happen to me to happen to the next person

yeah you know it's people i don't think people understand that you know it's happening to people like you and you know, people all over the country who are in

visible places.

And I don't think people really understand if they do it to people like you,

why would they hesitate to do it to a nobody?

And

that's the scariest thing is they're not coming after the nobodies alone.

They're coming after names like Elon Musk, who I think they're trying to do the same thing to.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

We definitely,

when they try to smear him as anti-Semitic, I was like,

that's exactly what they did to me.

They, they try to smear you as all of these key words,

racist, anti-Semitic, transphobe.

And, you know, it's just any, it's really, they're just trying to, you know, squash down anybody who has,

you know, the ability to reach people to just

tell them, yeah, let's communicate.

Let's think, you know, critically.

Let's, you know, not just listen to what the news is telling us.

And let's, you know, let's communicate with each other because we have to, because

everything is owned now by people who want to just grab more control

it's really crazy it is i've never seen especially with disney i've never seen such a wrecking ball taken you know to their own corporation uh like disney has taken the wrecking ball to everything that they own and everything that they touch i mean this is just

it's truly a shame because you just

We grew up with Disney and it doesn't seem like it would be that hard of a fix.

You know, it doesn't seem like, hey, you know what?

We messed up here.

They're so good at telling everybody how to apologize and get on their knees and say sorry.

It's like, you know, lead by example in this case.

It wouldn't be hard to be like, to look at my case and say, hey, you know what?

We did wrong there.

Let's make it right.

And, you know,

and then let's start reaching out to, you know,

really inclusive, like all

people.

It doesn't mean that they have to follow any type of political, you know, side.

They could just really include and appreciate the fan base that they had

that has just been completely betrayed by them.

So I don't understand in those meetings how it's just not like, you know what, we did wrong.

Let's face up to it.

Let's do something right here.

And let's get, you know, let's get our,

you know, our conservative viewers back.

It seems like it would just be a no-brainer.

I don't know if they could at this point.

I mean, once you've violated my family, I mean, beyond what they did to you,

they, you know,

they're trying to

teach my children principles that I don't agree with at all.

And they've lost that trust that parents had, oh, it's Disney.

It's safe.

It's not safe.

And that's going to take them a long time to recover that.

And a good step forward would be to

correct this with you and others that they have wronged.

So,

you know, when this happened to you,

nothing's impossible, though.

You know, like,

if they keep going down this route, they're just going to be considered evil.

You know,

I have a massive ball to, you know, rock, to push back up a mountain to get back a career, but I'm not looking at that saying, okay, I'm at the bottom again.

I'm not going to do it.

You know, we have to constantly rebuild ourselves, and so do companies.

So if they started now, you know, they could, you know, start pushing that rock back up instead of it just tumbling.

It's just tumbling down the hill.

Yeah, well, you are going to be, you are going to be,

you're going to be fine in the end, especially since, you know, when this happened, we weren't really ready

as the conservatives.

And I don't want a bunch of conservative films or, you know,

films, but I just want good films.

You know what I mean?

And can we have them say decent things about society and try to help us be better people?

But if you look at the films now, Angel is really, I think, leading the way on this.

If you see some of the stuff that's coming, and I think we're right on the cusp, I started the Blaze, you know, before

Amazon and HBO were online,

we were doing digital streaming at the Blaze.

And it was...

a nightmare.

Now,

12 years later, things are happening to where there is a community.

You give it another five years, and we're not going to have to worry about Hollywood.

You know, and it really just breaks your heart.

You know, I feel like so many people have come before me and fought this battle, and nobody was paying attention.

So I really am honored to be in a position where people are paying attention right now and to give respect to those people that came before me, those actors, and everybody that was trying to break down the the barriers for so long.

You know, it breaks my heart that you know, they didn't get justice.

And so,

you know,

yeah, I'm I feel pretty fortunate, you know, to be in the situation to help with that because, yes, in five years, it's going to be even better.

And I'm excited to have just been at the beginning of this, just how I was at the beginning of women's mixed martial arts.

I feel like I get to be, you know, part of breaking ground here.

And so I really hope this case is,

I hope, I hope people pay attention to it and blow it out of the water and just make sure that, you know, we're going to make it easier for the next generation and the people, the younger people behind me.

I have such great respect for you.

Thank you so much for coming on.

You're welcome here anytime.

Best of luck to you.

You bet.

Thank you so much, Glenn.

You bet.

Gina Carano.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Jace Medical.

Bad enough, we have to rely on China to provide us with the overwhelming majority of our life-saving antibiotic medications.

You know, you don't even have to think about going to war.

Have you seen what's happening to China's stock market?

I know that puts me in a weird category, but what's happening over there, they are on the verge of collapse.

In fact, the United States, and this one thing that we should point out that has happened that is a good thing with our economy under the Biden administration, is we are now buying less from China China than we have in a very, very long time.

And we're getting most things from Mexico.

I wonder what we had to trade for that.

But we get most things from Mexico now and not China, which is very good.

It's closer to home, but still not home.

But if there is a shutdown of any kind, most of our life-saving medications are still made in China.

So what do you do about it?

Get the Jace case by Jace Medical.

It's part of a different way of getting getting antibiotics.

You can use this Jace case, which comes with four or five different antibiotics, all treating a host of bacterial illnesses that you might have in an emergency.

You know,

she sounds really rooted in all the right things.

She seems humble, humbled by God.

Definitely.

I really like her.

Yeah.

I really like her.

She's great.

She's great.

Do you see, by the way, the thing that Elon Musk tweeted out about Disney general entertainment content inclusion standards?

No.

What are you saying?

An anonymous source sent him this from from Disney.

Mandatory institutionalized racism and sexism.

They're standard A for on-screen representation.

You have to meet at least three of these five following areas when you're assembling characters for a show on Disney.

Characters must be 50% or more of regular and recurring written characters have to come from underrepresented groups.

50% or more of the actors of regular and recurring actors have have to come from underrepresented groups.

Three, secondary characters, meaningful inclusion of underrepresented groups as secondary or more minor on-screen individuals, including background characters.

So you're talking about, you know, LGBTQ, you're talking about

BIPOC people.

Series premise, meaningful integration of underrepresented groups in overall themes and narratives, and episodic storytelling is the last one.

Ongoing meaningful integration of underrepresented groups in episodic themes and narratives.

Then they go through

the same thing.

Propaganda.

The same thing for writers, the same thing for producers, the same thing for all of it.

Yeah, it's just their propaganda.

It's just their normalizing and

changing our society, essentially.

It's amazing that it's Disney doing this.

Isn't that?

I mean, this is so against what Walt represented.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, you know, Disney, Disney has been going down this road for a very, very, very long time.

And they're a creative company.

And creative company, they have a lot of artistic people.

And a lot of artistic people think differently than, you know, non-artistic people.

And so, you know, you had a company full of this that just got.

more and more woke over the years.

And now, I mean, it's everywhere.

I mean, you would have to shut that company down and then rehire to get the woke out.

And I don't know if you could do that.

I don't know if you could do it.

So, all right, coming up in just a second, we have Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School professor emeritus, host of The Dirse Show, and the author of Get Trump.

Will SCOTUS rule President Trump is eligible or not to be on the 2024 ballot?

We just heard the arguments back and forth in the last hour.

Now, what does he think they'll decide?

What did the questions by the justices lead him to believe?

Which direction are they going?

Next.

Tunnel to Towers Foundation, their mission is to do good and make sure to never forget the horrific events of September 11th, 2001.

For them that means never forgetting the soldiers and first responders who put their lives on the line and ever since.

The foundation is committed to helping these heroes and their families' heroes, like retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Carduz.

Lieutenant Colonel served his country for two decades.

He had a ton of accommodations, including a bronze star.

During his time overseas, he was exposed to toxic burn pits.

Sadly, he contracted cancer and died from the burn pits.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped in and paid the mortgage off to his family's home, enabling his widow and the six children to stay in the home and remove remove an enormous financial burden from their shoulders.

That's what they do.

The foundation helps Gold Star families and the families of fallen first responders, as well as catastrophically injured heroes and homeless vets, but they can only do it with your help.

Would you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at t2t.org?

Possibly one of the greatest litigators of our time, Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School professor emeritus, host of the Dershow podcast, and author of the book Get Trump.

Boy, did he not have that one nailed?

That is exactly what's happening today.

Supreme Court, get Trump.

This one will decide whether or not

states can take Donald Trump off the ballot because

apparently he was in an insurrection but was never charged.

I don't know what I was listening to last hour, but Alan Dershowitz can make sense of it all.

Alan, welcome to the program.

Well, I can't make sense of it.

I have rarely seen two

less able lawyers argue so important a case.

case.

They have both

missed the point.

The star of these proceedings are the justices.

They're the only ones who've made good arguments, and they've made very good arguments on both sides.

But they've made the arguments for the litigants.

Trump's lawyer, I just, just, just dropped the ball,

made the wrong argument to the wrong justices.

He didn't understand the room.

He didn't understand the issues.

And the lawyer for Corintho, same thing.

I mean, these are B-min performances in an A-plus issue.

How is that possible?

It's shocking.

You know what they were like?

The lawyers were like the lawyers who advised the presidents of colleges, Harvard and

Pence and MIT.

They were so taken up by kind of legal technicalities

that they didn't see the big issues.

And it's shocking to me that these lawyers, both of whom are relatively experienced, just didn't get it.

And they had to both of them be rescued by the justices themselves.

So, what did you get from the justices

on

a lean?

Any indication of where they're going with this?

Yeah, I think the leaning is in favor of Trump, despite Trump's lawyer.

Not on the ground that Trump's lawyer argued, but on other grounds, grounds that I've been arguing for a long time, that only Congress under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment has the authority to implement Section 3.

That's the argument the justices seem to be focused on.

That's the argument that I've written about over and over again.

But I gather the lawyers didn't read my article.

So

they just argued the wrong

provisions of the Constitution.

So let me ask you, this is the one thing, and this is just coming to you as a layperson who who doesn't know squat about the law.

But how can he be taken off for insurrection when he's got a billion lawsuits against him and not one has charged him with anything like that?

How can you be excluded for something nobody's even charged you with officially in court, let alone proven?

To show you how absurd Jason Murray's argument is, he's the lawyer for Colorado.

He said on January 6th, the minute the president engaged in the insurrection he did, he was no longer eligible to be president.

So for the last 14 days of January,

between January 6th and January 20th, we had no president, according to that argument.

According to that argument, the country was without a president for 14 days.

That is such an absurd argument.

And the justices, of course, both told it immediately.

They're doing it right now as we speak.

But

I tell you, if I had students in my class that made arguments like this, I think I would suggest Divinity School, a business school.

I just don't think these are great lawyer arguments.

And the public deserves great lawyers making great arguments in a case as great and as important as this one.

This is such a disappointment from the point of view of advocacy.

But

it's been very good from the point of view of the justices themselves.

They've asked the right questions.

What's the ramification

of the

Supreme Court making too broad of a decision or getting this wrong?

I don't think the court's going to get it wrong.

I think they're going to make a very narrow decision.

They're going to say, absent any congressional action under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment.

This is not self-enforcing.

He He wasn't disqualified from being president on January 6th.

You have to have a process.

He has to be charged with insurrection.

There has to be some process.

And that's what I would have argued.

And that's what the justices wanted them to argue, but they just didn't do it.

They just didn't do it.

I want to keep this a little bit short today because I want to get back to listening to the argument.

But I think that

the court will decide in favor of Trump narrowly on a technical issue without getting to the issue of whether or not he is disqualified or whether he committed an insurrection or anything like that.

But this is a major disappointment from a guy who's been an advocate for 60 years and had heard such good things about these lawyers.

They were overprepared technically, underprepared emotionally and politically and in any practical sense of the word.

Common sense was missing today from the arguments of both of those lawyers.

That is the theme almost of every show.

Alan Dershowitz, thank you so much, host of The Dersh Show and Get Trump is his book.

God bless you, Alan.

Thank you.

That's not what I expected to hear.

No, no, but it sounds promising, though.

He really thinks Trump's going to win this case, despite his lawyers.

Consider this.

This is really bad, man.

It is.

If you are at the highest court making an argument on something this important

yeah

what the hell do we have coming towards you need to be better a lot better and you know we talked about it at the time we were listening to him how do you not make the case that this man hasn't even been charged with tried for or convicted of any insurrection you know what i have to ask that of some we have to get somebody else on tomorrow because i wasn't satisfied with that answer and i knew he was in a hurry so i didn't push it yeah but i wasn't satisfied with that answer because they there should not be anything

that

you are charged with, but haven't gone through a system of court to make sure that it's true.

Otherwise, if you're in power, you can charge everyone with insurrection.

Exactly.

And then nobody could run for office.

Correct.

I mean, that doesn't make any sense.

So I'm not satisfied with his answer.

But apparently, according to the Constitution, maybe it doesn't seem to matter that much, which that would be something I would correct pretty quickly.

That's definitely how they're treating it

in this Supreme Court hearing.

Yeah.

Consider this, too.

This is kind of a side issue, a little sidebar to the trial.

Alan Dershowitz is 85 years old.

I know.

Listen to the difference between that 85-year-old

and the 81-year-old at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I know.

Oh, my gosh.

I know.

You talk about a difference.

Wow.

Just look at what's happened with the president.

Just in the last week, what was it?

A couple days ago, he was like, I want to choose my words.

There's some movement.

There's a response.

And he stumbles around for a minute.

And then the reporter says, Hamas helping him out.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Hamas.

Then just a couple of days ago, Sunday, French President Macron, he said, was Miteron.

Yeah.

He then called Donald Trump the sitting president.

He also, I don't know if you're aware, he also

called the German chancellor Helmut Kohl.

Okay, Helmut Kohl has been dead since 2017, and he hasn't been chancellor of Germany since 1998.

He said that he talked to him, too.

It's incredible.

So Mitterrand

Cole, he might have.

He might have been.

He might be talking to the dead.

Well, either that or the dead people coming back to him going, Joe, come to the light.

Come to the light.

I mean, I don't know.

I don't know.

But,

you know,

this is getting to the point to where it just can't be ignored by people.

It can't be.

And you know that the Democrats don't want this.

I, you know, I said this yesterday, but I think that they are, I think they're exposing all of this stuff.

as much as they can instead of keeping him in a basement.

You might be right.

So people see it and go, you know, the Democrats, because they can't convince him.

He's got to say, I'm not going to run.

And, you know, Dr.

Jill.

That she's pushing him forward on this.

Why would you do that?

It's elder abuse.

It is.

Yeah.

He should be home, if not in a rest home.

He should be at home in Delaware, resting.

Resting.

I got to tell you,

we have been with my father-in-law, who is in

critical condition,

stable, but critical condition in New Haven.

And, you know, the doctor came and talked to us about, you know, the future and things.

And

we said, he's all there.

It's his decision on how to proceed on things.

But we all just want the best for him.

Nobody wants to see him

suffer.

Nobody wants to see, you know, let God take his course.

And, you know,

you wouldn't want your dad or your wife or your husband walking around looking like this.

Humiliating himself.

Humanism.

Humiliating.

It's humiliating.

And more than just being humiliating to him, it's humiliating to the country.

I mean, the rest of the world is watching this and no doubt mocking and laughing at us.

Can you imagine if you are Vladimir Putin, what you're thinking?

Oh, my gosh.

You've got an easy mark here.

Oh, so easy.

Go, go, go, right now before somebody else gets in.

Now it's a time to do it.

No doubt, it's why he went into Ukraine in the first place.

Had Trump been in office, he wouldn't have done it.

And he didn't when

Trump was in office.

And you know,

he was absolutely a thousand times better back then.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, the decay of his motor and

memory.

It's been amazing lately.

He is just

bad.

It's bad.

Yeah.

Bad.

All right.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Well, today at five o'clock, the Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin drops.

He's now on a a kill list.

And I did tweet him or text him this morning and said, yeah, hey, thanks a lot for texting me.

I don't know who this Tucker Carlson guy is.

I have no idea.

Stop texting me.

But he's on a kill list now, apparently, with Ukraine.

You know, it's a list of enemies.

I don't know if it's a kill list, but the EU wants to ban his travel.

Nobody's seen what he talked to him about.

And I...

I think it's really important that we all see it.

Now,

here's what I would if I were there, and I would have done that interview, maybe not in Russia, because I don't know if I could have gotten out, but

here's what I would make sure that I was doing.

The guy is going to try to appeal to people who are feeling our country is in chaos and wants an American dictator.

And if Dugan has his way, Putin is going to talk about our immorality, our loss of faith,

transgenderism, what's happening on our streets, what's happening with drugs.

Tucker, I think,

could allow him one approach on that.

And then he's got to say, but this is not about America.

We have our own problems.

This is not about

internal problems of America.

This is about what you are saying about this war.

So we can talk about American war machine, you know, NATO, but not internal policy.

If it gets away from

Tucker and he allows Putin to really, then it's propaganda.

And it will be bad.

It will be bad.

But I hope that Tucker is not going to do that.

He's a smart enough guy.

But Putin, as Megan Kelly said, Putin is really,

really slick.

He's a master manipulator.

So Tucker needs to focus on the real issue, which, of course,

is Taylor Swift and whether or not she's going to make it to the Super Bowl on time.

And how many times are we going to show her

up in the booth?

I'm not sure that's really the real issue.

But how many fans have come to see her?

You know, does this increase the attendance and the viewership of the Super Bowl?

I would love to have Tucker say to Putin, if we sent you Taylor Swift, could that solve this whole issue?

Could that?

Yeah.

Could it end everything?

You get out of Ukraine if we send you Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift.

Yeah.

yeah that's a good word of people a lot of people don't like Taylor Swift apparently being on their TV during football time I myself don't understand it I don't really care yeah but I'm not you know

it's not as big a deal as people are making out to be no please but you know and besides she's cutting her carbon footprint she's selling her jets one of her jets one of one of her she's keeping one because I mean she can't do it that's a jet come on right and she's she's going to her next concert because she's selling her dress.

She's going just on a

rented jet.

So

you're still speeding.

I don't understand.

That's really slumming.

Well, you have to take a rented jet.

Oh, my God.

Privately, that's just really slumming.

Let me call an Uber.

No, thank you.
