Take the Keys from Impaired Politicians Driving the Country! | Guests: Kimberly Hermann & Chad Robichaux | 8/31/23

I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugarix's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.

I want to talk to you here

about something that Billy Graham told me about five years before he died.

We became friends at the end of his life.

And I

so admired him.

And at one point,

I said, Billy,

where are the people that are going to step up?

Where's the next George Washington, Abraham Lincoln?

Where's the next Billy Graham?

And he smiled and he said, God is tired of people like me getting credit for his work.

He said, it's not going to work this way this time.

He said, this time,

people

who are just

regular people

are going to do something that they may think is small and insignificant,

and they may not even understand it,

but they feel compelled that they're supposed to do this one thing, and they'll argue in their own head, say, that doesn't make any sense.

Why would I do that?

That's not going to change anything.

And he said, and if everybody who hears what they're supposed to do

and does just that, nothing more, nothing less, just that,

and remains faithful.

He said the lights will come on, and you'll see a mosaic that God is working, and everyone on earth will know only the God of

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could have done it.

That's what he told me.

It has lasted with me, and I'm seeing that come to fruition right now.

Oliver Anthony was a guy who was

at the end,

just a few weeks ago.

He was at the end, sitting in his truck, weeping, completely broken.

Now he's on Joe Rogan.

He was on Joe Rogan and he's talking to Joe about the scriptures.

And Joe is listening.

And so are millions of Americans.

I think what Oliver Anthony just did is what our preachers are failing to do.

Our preachers,

it's all

gobbledygook.

It doesn't feel real to so many Americans.

But listen to this,

Oliver Anthony on Joe Rogan.

I kind of had this breakdown moment and decided that I was going to let whatever ego I had go.

And just at this point, it's like I knew I didn't have much.

left in for me anyway.

And I wanted to serve whatever purpose it was that I was here to serve.

It's like, you get this just overwhelming feeling in you.

I

was just crying like a baby, just this very like warm feeling throughout me.

And

that really hasn't gone away since.

Like I'm not the guy that can play in front of 12,000 people on guitar.

I would be like...

I mean, I had never played a paid gig.

When we played the show at the farm market where Jamie Johnson showed up, that was my first paid gig.

Like, I'm not a guy to go out and play live shows, but I can tell you I was so like,

I was just so at peace being up there.

Like it just felt like that's where I was supposed to be.

And that and with all this, it has been like there's no way that Chris from six months ago could handle what's gone on the last two weeks, but I feel just so empowered from all of it.

And

I don't know.

I'm telling you, like, again,

I'm not anybody special, and I'm certainly not here to preach to anybody, but just from coming from somebody who was just really, just in a really, just fed up place.

Like, and I use that word

with discretion, but in this case, it describes like where I was.

Like, that guy found a lot of peace from this book.

From looking at things in a different way.

Yeah.

From looking at things through the eyes of the scripture.

Well, yeah.

And I think for me, it was like

I had been in church growing up and

I had been exposed to all that, but

I had found

a lot of theatrics and a lot of politics in church and in religion when I was younger.

And so it just immediately turned me off to it.

So if you can take us to like what was like the day you picked it up?

What was the feeling that you had?

Like what caused you to act?

What was it like when you did it?

Yeah, I mean I had been reading it here and there off and on and I had for like off and on for a long time like because I again I was introduced to it as a kid but it was really just like

I remember I'd went to the I went to the ER for everything that was going on.

I mean I thought I was seriously going to die.

Like, I was having shooting pains up under my jaw, down in my wrist, and my leg, like just

cardiovascular 101 symptoms.

Of course, I'm 31.

I had been like,

I could run four miles without stopping, no problems.

Like, I knew my heart was strong, but I was.

You're just freaking out.

Yeah, but I went and did that.

And I remember being in the truck after that, just like,

and I just, yeah, I just had a breakdown moment.

I was just

crying and was just, just,

I just felt hopeless, like, like almost the way a child feels hopeless when they, you know, like you can't find your parent or something, like a four-year-old that can't find his parents or something.

I was just like, just didn't have anything left in me.

Okay, stop.

Listen to what he's doing here.

This is a guy just weeks ago was feeling just like that.

Just weeks ago.

That's in itself a miracle.

He's a guy who has screwed up everything in his life.

He said up until he was about 30, and then things went awry.

It was the exact opposite.

I was just crazy bad until I was about 30, and then I tried to clean up my life.

And all he's doing now is he's sitting in the truck, and he's completely broken.

How many of us can relate to this?

You're out of answers.

Now listen.

I don't know.

I just

I just decided like right then and there, I was like, I know I can't do this anymore.

But I know I know that I can

I know there's things that I need to do.

And I just

told God, I was like, just let me do it.

Like, and I'll give all the up.

I'll give up the weed and I'll quit getting drunk and I'll quit.

I'll quit being so angry about things.

And I'll just, like,

I'll just call it good.

Whatever I've done up from

up until I was 30 or whatever, 31, like, we'll just call that good and I'll start over again.

And

I'll make him the focus and not me.

And I just

tried to let my ego and everything that I was

just let that go and just focus on.

Because obviously, like,

it's not just me.

I've seen it with even other people I know, and I see it with celebrities and everything, but I don't know.

I just feel like

we're in such a weird place right now in the world.

Stop for a a second.

What is he doing?

What's he doing right here?

This is the first step of Alcoholics Anonymous.

First step.

I give up.

I can't do it.

I completely give up.

God, I give it all to you.

I'll just, we'll just call it start fresh.

That is, without him knowing it, that is the first step.

You cannot heal yourself until you get there.

This is the problem with our nation.

You can't fix it until we get there.

Lord, I give up.

I give up.

We've tried everything.

We've tried everything.

Everything we do seems to make it worse.

We've tried this.

We've tried this.

The only thing we haven't tried is humbling ourselves.

See,

this is why humility is so important.

Because without humility, you can't get to where he is,

which is completely broken.

And luckily, for me as an alcoholic, and unfortunately for my mom, who was an alcoholic, my mother's bottom was death.

She didn't have a place that was bad enough to break her until death.

I'm grateful that that wasn't my bottom line.

And I've wondered for a long time, is that the bottom line for our country?

Is our country,

are we so arrogant

that

we'll let it die before we say, okay, I give up.

I give up.

I just...

I just want peace in my life.

I just, I want to be a decent person.

We want to be a good country, but we obviously don't know how to do it.

Now listen to what he's about to do,

the next step.

Listen to this.

I feel like God's working through inadvertently through certain people to get

to get his point across.

He is.

So take me to what you did.

Did you start reading the Bible?

Like, what did you do?

I just changed my perspective.

I quit worrying about me, and I started worrying about what it is that I'm supposed to do.

You know, like it talks in the Bible about

being a servant and, you know, giving up, I guess, my desire and my will and whatever it is that I want to do.

Like,

I don't know the best way to describe it, but

it's about trying to use what I have as a tool versus doing what I can in the moment to give myself whatever satisfaction that it is I'm trying to get.

It's about trying to let go of your ego, I guess, in a way.

And I mean, people pursue that mentality

without faith.

I mean, it's the idea of there being something bigger than you, but I think inherently all human beings idolize something.

Like, it talks in the Bible about false idols.

We all have false idols, like whether it's our phone or it's a celebrity or it's something we do or it's our addiction to food or drugs or whatever, but like it's very difficult for a human to be the biggest thing on their hierarchy.

There's always something above us, right?

Because we're always in pursuit of something bigger than whatever it is in that moment.

And I think for me, it was just about taking everything else, all the distractions and all the other things in my life away and just ensuring that at least, and look,

we're all, we're all, we all sin and we all do stupid things.

Like, we're all just people.

Nobody's special or righteous.

People sometimes act like they're special and righteous, but we're all just the same same thing.

But it's just about trying to make that, make that my idol, make, make,

make God and the concept of what it is that he wants done on this earth my idol versus anything else.

Stop.

He's just completed the first two steps.

Step one, admit you're powerless over alcohol or whatever else it is and that your lives are unmanageable.

That's the first thing you have to do.

My life is completely out of control.

I've tried everything.

I'm broken.

I'm crying in my truck.

I can't do it.

I'm powerless over this.

I can't stop it.

Second step,

we came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

He's saying, there is a God.

There is a God.

And

I've followed other gods, and all of these other gods are false.

They've only played into my problem because they feed my ego and what I want.

And

only thing that is above humans

is God.

And so I am powerless over my problem, and my life is out of control.

And only a power greater than me

can restore us

to sanity

first two steps

now I'm going to take a one-minute break and come back and show you he's completed the third step this is the fastest

this is why AA works

because

it's it's so obvious it's natural It's natural how it works.

When he gets to the fourth step, that's where trouble sets in.

But I want you to listen to the third in 60 seconds.

Tragic statistic, recent study of hundreds of post-abortive women found that 60% of them would have preferred to give birth.

60%.

Can you even begin to comprehend that?

How many women are just horribly scarred?

If they received more support from others or had a little more financial security, they would have given birth.

This is where pre-born steps in.

They're here for women during their darkest hour when deciding between life and death for their child, but they're also there for them afterward.

Giving a woman a free ultrasound increases her chance to save the baby, doubling the chance she'll choose life.

And when she does, pre-born is there to help her for up to two years and additional support.

When you support pre-born, you not only support women, you empower them and you save lives.

Your donation of $28 will help a woman make a choice that she won't have to regret the rest of her life.

And it gives her the ultimate blessing, life.

Your love can save a life.

10 seconds, station ID.

Okay, so the third step, let's see if he makes it.

Like, we all serve, we all serve some master, whether we realize it or not.

So, why not let it be the master that is above all?

And so, when you made this transformation in your mind, did you then start reading scripture like regularly?

Like, what did you start doing?

Yeah, well, it was different.

Well, what really, I guess it's like now I don't read it.

I don't read it because I feel like I should read it to be a better person.

It's like now I try to read it for the guidance within it.

And I'm still in the infancy stages of a lot of this.

Like I've read a lot of Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes and Luke.

And there's other good books, but just trying to...

I don't know, like trying to restructure, I guess,

on a granular level, like I guess the neural pathways in my brain that have certain habits and certain ways of thought.

Like, I've tried to retrain that to,

um,

you know, like, there's, there's things it says, like, and I'll be very brief with this, I promise, but like, one thing, ironically, it's uh, Proverbs 4:20, which I thought you were like.

So, if there's anything better, perfect, stop me for just a second before we get to that.

He just completed the third step.

Okay, first step: we're powerless, our lives are out of control, and I I have no power to stop it.

Second,

there is a power greater than me.

There is a God, a God of your understanding, a power greater than me that will restore me to sanity.

Third step, I will turn my will and my life over the care of God as I understand him.

The first thing he said when we went back to this clip is, we all serve a master.

I just decided to serve the master, the God.

And now I'm reading scriptures so I get to learn his will, what he wants me to do.

Third step, made a decision to turn over our lives and our will over to the care of God as we understand him.

I'm telling you.

God is working miracles.

This is why I've said, you want to save the country?

It's anyone who understands the 12 steps of AA.

It will get you there.

We need to do this as a nation.

But the fourth step is the really tough one.

Do we have time to go on to the...

Here's,

I think he said it was Psalms 4.20.

Proverbs 4.20.

My son, pay attention to what I say.

Turn your ear to my words.

Do not let them out of your sight.

Keep them within your heart.

For they are life to those who find them and health to one's whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Keep your mouth free from perversity.

Keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Let your eyes look straight ahead.

Fix your gaze directly before you.

Give careful thought to the paths for your feet, and be steadfast in all your ways.

Do not turn to the right or the left.

Keep your foot from evil.

But that's pretty big.

Yeah, it is profound.

Joe Rogan.

Wow, that's profound.

So listen to what he just said.

This, I think, that this is the proverb that he would bring up.

Tells you everything you need to know about him and politics.

He has done everything he could to distance himself from the right and the left, mainly from the right, because those were the ones running to him with open arms going, you're one of us.

He's, I believe, being used by God.

And you're not going to make any inroads if you're Glenn Beck and your name is so associated with the right.

Or, you know, you're Michael Moore and you're so associated with the left, whatever.

It's not going to happen.

He's fixing his eyes on God, not turning to the right or the left.

And he will fulfill whatever it is he's supposed to fulfill.

And he'll be shocked by it, as he already is.

Shocked by it.

God

quickly when we are willing.

How often do you find yourself just going through the motions when it comes to feeding your dog?

Bowl is empty.

Grab the bag of kibble, fill her up.

Let me tell you something.

Last night I had such a fun time with Uno feeding him.

Who wants dinner?

Who has dinner?

And then filling it up, watching him with his nose in the bag.

Okay, okay, okay.

And then kind of, I put a couple of kibble in my hand and he just sniffed them, didn't eat them.

Then I put the bowl up on the counter and I put the rough greens on top of it, mixed it, now put it down in front of him and he gobbled the bowl.

I love my dog.

I just love my dog.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

We're just talking about this amazing appearance on Joe Rogan by Oliver Anthony.

Yeah, I didn't see it or hear it at all.

I, you know, just heard about some coverage of it.

And I want to give you the slightly different impression that I got without actually listening to it to the one that you receive by actually listening to it.

Okay.

So you just played an incredible awakening of a person who's finding God, who's changing his life, who's really

very, very humble about it, not preachy, just like I'm telling you what happened to me.

Here's what I got.

This is from Variety.

Rich men singer Oliver Anthony laments porn, prescription drugs, and more in strange two-hour Joe Rogan interview.

Because he

thought porn was bad and didn't think, didn't like prescription drugs.

It was strange, but like nothing about this, nothing about

the really, and that's really the most important part.

Yeah, really.

You know, because people obviously connected at some level with the lyrics of the first song that came out, and that's how people were interested in him.

But the real story here is him and his

change, his awakening, his the life that has gone from zero to 60 in a few weeks really quickly.

I mean, that's the incredible thing about this, why he's an interesting figure.

And the fact that, I mean, listen, everybody is feeling defeated right now.

Everybody is losing hope.

We're all, at least I've, I've been in my truck crying my eyes out over the country and, you know, God, help us.

What, I mean, everything we do, we screw it up.

Help us.

Where are you?

Help us, help us, help us.

And he is answering those prayers and you don't see it, but he is answering those prayers through individuals because everything else is discredited.

So these individuals pop up and you're going to see more and more of them popping up here and there.

And they may not become famous because it's not about the fame.

It's about the message that he's sending.

And the message is, I'm there.

I am there.

Once you humble yourself and you're broken, I'm there for you.

And I will rush to your aid.

I just want you to know

if you're feeling like he was feeling, this message is for you.

You're listening to this program today for a reason.

Don't write this off as a coincidence.

There's a method.

It's why it's called a miracle.

You know, some people will say, you know, a miracle is merely a change of perspective.

I think it is.

I think it is.

You can look at a miracle and go, oh, well, it was just the winds that swept up the water because there was a really big storm and that what helped Moses get across.

Okay.

If that's what it was, fine.

Change your perspective on that.

Wow, what a coincidence that was at that time.

What a coincidence it is.

You're struggling perhaps with something.

And

right now, you happen to be listening to this broadcast and you're hearing his message.

I'm just amazed

at

how he performed the first three steps of the 12 steps of AA.

The next one is really, really hard.

The first one is, I'm powerless.

I can't, my life is out of control.

Second one is, there's a power greater than me that can restore me.

All I have to do, third step, is make the decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God

as I understand him and

follow what he says.

Then the fourth one,

make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself.

5.

Admitted to God, to ourselves, and another human being the exact nature of your wrongs.

6.

Ready to have God remove all of these.

Seven, humbly ask him to remove the shortcomings.

Then you start to make amends for them.

Now, let me show you how this works in a nation.

Abraham Lincoln was not a deeply religious man.

In fact, he hated religion because his father was the kind of guy who would quote scriptures as he would beat him.

And so he went off on a dark, dark path.

Most people don't know this.

We don't, you know, we don't celebrate people's dark path, but we should at least understand how the person got there.

He was horribly abused by his father.

His father was a Bible totem guy and would beat him because of the scriptures.

And Abraham Lincoln was like, I don't want anything to do with my father.

I don't want to ever be like my father.

And this is all garbage.

And so he rejected it.

And he became the only reason,

the only reason why maybe he changed at first was because he was afraid of syphilis, because he had whored around.

Have you ever heard that about Abraham Lincoln?

That's who he became.

Then he realized my life is becoming unmanageable.

And he didn't turn to God.

He just turned to higher values and principles and started to live those.

He still kind of

knew God and he knew the Bible inside and out,

but he was not what you would call

a

practicing Christian.

He said, I wasn't Christian when the war broke out.

I wasn't Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

That's where he makes the covenant.

That's where he asks America as a broken president, as somebody who has completely broken down,

and he sees what's happening, and they can't make any progress.

The North is losing at this point.

Listen to what he said in his second inaugural address and tell me this isn't

the

fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh step of AA.

Neither party expected for the war of this magnitude or the duration which it's already attained.

Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease.

Each looked for an easier triumph, and as a result, less fundamental and astounding.

Both read the same Bible, we pray to the same God, and each invokes his aid against the other.

It might seem strange for any man to dare ask a just God's assistant in wringing their bread from the sweat of another man's face, but let's not judge,

or we will be judged.

But the prayers of both cannot be answered,

and neither of them are answered fully.

But the Almighty has his own purposes.

Quote, woe unto the world because of its offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offensive cometh.

End quote.

If we should suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses in which the providence of God

must needs come, but which have continued through the appointed, his appointed time, he now wills it to stop,

and that he gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woes due

by those whom the offense came.

Shall we discern then in any departure from those divine attributes that

the believers in a living God always ascribe to him?

We hope, we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away, yet,

if God wills it continue, until all of the wealth piled by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with a sword.

As it was said 3,000 years ago, still it must be said, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous together.

He is saying,

I

surrender my will and the country must surrender their will.

And if it means we're destroyed because of our sins,

we're going to be destroyed.

Now that seems

like somebody who's giving up, right?

Say this all the time to people and they say, oh, so we're going to just give up?

No.

Accept the will of God and then do all that you can

with malice toward none, with charity for all with the firmness in the fight as God gives us to see the right so in other words we're fighting as hard as we can and we're struggling to see the light and see the right but God's giving that to us so keep humble

he says let us strive on to finish the work we're in to bind up the nation's wounds to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan

to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations

everything you need to know

about life and our country because it's the same because in this country we the people are the country

and because we the people have gone astray our government has gone astray.

It's merely a reflection of us.

And let me tell you, with firmer reliance on divine providence, if every dollar

and

every success this country has had

needs to go down the drain for us

to do God's will, for us to be a nation that is righteous and good and works to serve mankind?

So be it.

We'll make it because we have God on our side.

Sorry, because we are on God's side.

Huge difference.

Yesterday, Mitch McConnell.

He's speaking to reporters, and here's what happens.

What are my thoughts about what?

Running for re-election in 2016.

Now he's frozen.

His eyes aren't moving.

Did you hear the question, Senator?

Running for re-election in 2026?

Yes.

He's looking up at a corner.

All right, I'm sorry, you all weren't going to need a minute.

She seems

they seem like this has happened before.

They're not freaked out.

One of the aides is speaking to him.

Now he comes out of it a bit.

Okay.

Okay.

Somebody else have a question.

Please speak up.

Yeah.

What just happened?

How is that not your next question?

That is not the next question.

What just happened to you?

Where'd you go?

I mean, this is

terrifying.

This is our country, people.

This is our country.

How everybody in Kentucky is not standing up and saying right now, come home.

Come home.

It's over.

It's over.

It's over.

Come home.

It's over.

It's really sad and it's terrible to watch that happen.

We'll all get there, I guess, at some point.

They're families.

But how can you let this go on?

And like, look, I understand there are calculations to be made with seats the way it works in

Kentucky.

By the way, thanks to Mitch McConnell, largely, he changed the law a couple years ago so that the Democratic governor couldn't name the next senator.

You wonder if he knew that this was coming on with him at the time.

Well, I know he told me.

Glenn?

Glenn?

What's your name?

No, it's like, wouldn't you say that?

Yes, 100%.

How do you not ask that?

And you give the aides come over, and they know, you could tell that this has happened before.

The first one tries to cover and say, oh, he just didn't hear you.

So

she basically yells in his ear:

hey,

answer that question.

Did you hear that question about you running again?

And he

is as if nothing has occurred.

No, he's like, it's a seizure.

Mary has seizures.

And that's how we are with Mary when she'll freeze up and everybody will go, Mary's having a seizure.

And then we all just come and we just hold her.

And we're just like, it's okay, Mary.

It's okay.

It's okay.

We pray on her and then she comes out of it.

She's fine.

But that, that was.

I mean, you've seen it, obviously, this happen over and over again.

Is that what you just saw?

Is that this?

Would you think it is a seizure?

It's some neurological something.

I don't know what.

But I mean, notice he did this in the first time.

We'd have to go back and look at the tape.

But I think when he did it last time, his eyes went up and to the right.

Yeah, that kind of happened there, too.

Yeah.

And it's a neurological event of some sort.

I don't know.

I'm not a doctor.

But it's disturbing.

Now, I don't know.

I'm suspicious.

It does,

you know, I don't know.

I'm no doctor, but obviously associating it with age, it does seem like this has been a long, slowing process for the moment.

But this is not

what's happening with Mitch McConnell is not the same as

the dementia in the White House.

No, no, it's different.

It's much more close to

the brain damage from our senator in Pennsylvania.

Or Feinstein.

Or Feinstein.

My gosh.

How many examples?

This is our country.

Would you let him drive?

Of course not.

Why?

He could hurt somebody.

He can hurt 350 million people.

Take the keys of our country away from these people.

The Glenn Beck program.

Let me tell you about Grip Six.

Grip Six is one of these companies that does things the American way, meaning

they do it the old-fashioned way.

They buy the materials and the workers all from America.

So when you buy, let's say, their socks, you know that's coming from specially bred sheep

that are raised here in America.

And the people who sheared them are Americans, and the American manufacturers who wash that wool and process it and weave it into socks that keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

It's an American business that tries to do things right by doing all of it in America.

Trust and hard-earned money belongs at companies like Grip Six.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

Holy cow, there's a lot of evidence now that our president is involved and has engaged in

bribery,

selling out our country, and lying to the American people about it, and then the cover-up, which is probably the worst perhaps in American history.

I think it is, but I would like to go back to the records to make sure.

Some of the headlines today, Hunter Biden's firm,

Joe's VP office, exchanged over a thousand emails.

Remember, I'm not involved.

I have nothing to do.

I've not talked to his partners or his clients or anything.

Well, why is his business

exchanging emails with the vice president's office when you were vice president over a thousand times?

Well, there is somebody on this, and they've gotten about 800 of them released.

The archives are like, no,

these ones, these are...

These are super secret.

We can't let them out.

It might hurt national security.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Sure.

We're going to talk to you about the emails and then move on to all of the other evidence that is rolling in.

It is really not looking good for the president, but you wouldn't know that if you're watching mainstream media, so we'll go over it in just a minute.

We talked on the program yesterday about Jaden, the kid that got kicked out of school this week for having a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack.

His teacher thought it was tied to the slave trade in America.

If we have time, I've got got to go through this again because there's some new observations on this.

Fortunately, Jaden is a Tuttle Twins fan, which means he's smarter than his teacher.

Maybe not smarter, just more well-read.

Has actually read things about our history, not just the bad things.

Let me ask you something.

How many other stories like this are going on in our schools right now that you haven't heard of?

How many of our kids are being fed leftist garbage daily?

How hard is it to keep up with that and undo the damage?

Well, Jaden showed us it's not all that hard.

All right, we're going to Kimberly Herman now.

She is the Southeastern Legal Foundation general counsel.

She is part of the legal group that filed the lawsuit to get Joe Biden's pseudonym emails.

Now, if you're taking this from the very beginning, I'm going to ask her to to tell us what the pseudonym emails and how common those are, et cetera, et cetera.

Hi, Kimberly.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

Thanks for having me on.

You bet.

Okay, so we heard about

Joe Biden using a pseudonym, in fact, several pseudonyms when he was the vice president.

And we got this because of some of the emails on Hunter Biden's laptop, correct?

That's correct.

We first learned about these in the summer of 2021 when Hunter Biden's laptop was exposed and authenticated.

And John Solomon, New York Post, Daily Mail, U, lots of people covered these.

And we were really interested in them because why would a vice president need to use an alias email address and forward government information to his son and his son's business partners?

And so we started asking the National Archives for the records all the way back in 2021.

So and they just released them, so they're quick.

They have actually still not released them.

When we filed that initial request, they came back and said, whoa, whoa, we can't release any of Joe Biden's vice president records till 2022.

Come back then.

So we waited.

We came back then.

And we've been waiting for 14 months.

They have acknowledged that about 5,400 of these potentially exist.

Wow, what story was I reading today or maybe a couple of days ago that I thought 1,000 existed and 800 had just been released.

None of them have been released, and there's 5,400 of them?

Yeah, so none of these alias ones have been released.

I believe that our friends over, I believe, in America First Legal, have

also submitted some FOIA requests and that they have been getting some emails that they're not necessarily the pseudonym emails, right?

He didn't always use the pseudonym.

He just used it sometimes.

Do you know how common it is for a president or vice president to have pseudonym emails?

I mean other others have come out where they've said you know we know about how well we obviously know about

Hillary Clinton's secret

server.

That was an entire server.

There have been other stories out there that past presidents have used them.

You know

use them.

I don't think that you should be using them.

I think that there's legal, massive legal implications.

But whether you use them or not, these emails are still government records.

He was still the vice president talking about government information and forwarding that on to people.

That makes it a government record.

It makes it subject to the Freedom of Information Act, which means that anyone in the public can request that these records get released.

Now,

we don't know what's in the pseudonym emails.

We're hearing now that we are

seeing things from the White House, coming coming out from the White House, that Joe Biden was

involved with his son's firm.

They were getting invitations to things.

They were actually in communication

on

state dinners, et cetera, et cetera, and played a role in those, which I think is extremely uncommon, I would imagine.

But

the pseudonym, you think that these are even more damning, possibly,

because.

yeah i mean why else would you use a pseudonym right and so we've been we've been sending for

the public as we can about joe biden and hunter biden and burisma and the other things that happened in ukraine um for oh my gosh three four years now and we've seen in a lot of those records with official email addresses that those meetings happened we've put them out on our website john solomon's put them out.

He's done a lot of those FOIA requests that we've litigated.

And so those are damning enough.

Why else would you use a pseudonym if you're not doing something nefarious?

Now, maybe they'll come out and we will all learn that there's nothing important in them.

Maybe they were personal communications

on a laptop.

I highly, highly doubt it.

Right.

Yeah.

I mean, I highly doubt it.

I can't speculate to what's in them until we see them, but something just doesn't quite smell right.

Right.

And we know that because of another email, right, we got the pseudonym, we found out that he was emailing in pseudonym because of the Hunter Biden laptop.

We saw the, what is it, Robin L.

Peters or something like that, Robert L.

Peters.

And

do we know that he did communicate with the head of Ukraine

under a pseudonym?

He was doing some official business in Ukraine, we think.

He was reaching out to the president or somebody like that, right?

I am sorry, I have not followed this story.

Yeah,

there are some indications to that, and there are various emails out there floating around.

We at SLS have not personally authenticated any of them.

But there are stories out there, and there are emails that we've seen out there where there are these types of communications happening.

And, you know, through the other FOIA work that we've done over the last several years we have seen evidence of those meetings we have exposed very key records one of them was a memo that came out just a few weeks ago

where you're talking they're talking about setting up these meetings and so there's really no question that Hunter Biden and Devin Archer and his other business partners were getting access to top State Department officials to talk about their business dealings.

What influence it had on that.

I'll leave that to the congressional investigations, and we'll leave that to the people who can actually do something about that.

Right.

Our goal here is to just really try to help restore some level of government integrity.

Either we have a FOIA or we don't.

Produce the records.

How unusual is this to be blocked

with a FOIA like this for something that is emails?

So I honestly, I wish I could say that it's unusual.

It has taken us seven years to get records from some government agencies in the past.

This is a fundamental problem that we have in our country, right?

We have those that are elected into office and they preach transparency and they say we're going to show you everything.

And then it's just stonewalled, stonewall, stonewall, stonewall by all of the federal agencies.

And so this is a massive problem.

What is it that they have to hide?

We're still litigating lawsuits that we had against the DOJ and the FBI to try to uncover what was actually happening with RussiaGate,

Here we are all these years later.

You know, we won't stop until we can expose the truth because the only way that we'll have a republic, the only way that we can rebuild this republic is by truth and transparency.

So how is it that we can change this?

How do we change this?

We just have to try to change the culture and we have to let we have to let the federal government know, we as Americans have to let them know that we are not going away.

We know that we have the right to these records, and we will ask for them, and we will continue to ask for them.

Fortunately, we have the courts, and so now we've had to turn to the courts.

It's time-intensive, it's resource-intensive, it means that we have to continue to wait.

But there is a way to get resolution, and fortunately,

we have a judiciary, a strong federal judiciary, thank you, President Trump, that we can then turn to.

So, they now have, if I'm not mistaken, the National Archives and Records has 30 days from here to respond?

Yes.

Yep.

They've got 30 days from when they are served the complaint to respond.

You know, we're really hopeful that they'll just come to the table and that they'll come to us and say, we know we kept putting you off.

We're going to review the records.

We're going to produce them and that we don't have to continue to litigate it in court.

If they really fight hard in court to not turn these records over in a timely manner, that is a signal in and of itself, in my opinion, that there's definitely something in them that somebody does not want the American public to see.

So it would be illegal for the White House to interfere with the archives and records, right?

I mean, you can't have phone calls going back and forth from

the Biden White House saying, no, keep these.

They're supposed to just judge it coldly and

release what they have to release.

And if there is a national secret in there, then they can classify it.

But there should be no no political play in anything like this, should there?

There really shouldn't be.

I mean, there are some exceptions for classified information.

Yes.

And, you know, Joe Biden could then determine that he would declassify them potentially.

And so there's obviously a process for that, as you mentioned, but there should not be...

communications going back and forth.

You know, one thing that will be very interesting after all of this is to FOIA any communications about our FOIA.

That's something that's always really interesting to do because sometimes those communications do happen.

And again,

we just have to continue to fight to expose all of this because hopefully one day politicians will wake up and say, you know what, they mean business.

I really need to be transparent now.

This is an organization.

If you don't know the Southeastern Legal Foundation,

you should.

It is slfliberty.org.

If you are somebody who has resources and you're tired of all of this, put your money where people are actually doing things to expose the truth and then putting those in the hands of people who can enforce the truth and clean up all the bad things.

And that is exactly what Southeastern Legal Foundation does.

Go to SF, sorry, SLFliberty.org.

When we last left our program, I asked you how long would it take to pay off a balance of $10,000?

The answer, eight and a half years.

Now this message from American Financing.

This isn't, by the way, eight and a half years doesn't include any of the extra fees from compounding interest.

I mean,

we're also screwed.

We're also screwed.

So what do we do?

We just get a shovel and we just start taking some of the dirt away as much as we can.

But we have to do it wisely.

If you have debts that you're worried about, which is pretty much now every debt, you can't afford not to call American Financing and at least find out if you can get them to work for you.

A delay of a couple of payments, even if your credit isn't the best.

Yeah, see, I'm just mixing the two.

Hunter Biden's Biden's Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm traded more than 1,000 emails with Joe Biden's office during his time as vice president.

Hundreds remain hidden because of executive privilege asserted by the White House.

This is according to the National Archives.

The 861 emails that reference Rosemont Seneca were sent or received by the office of the vice president between January 11th and December 2013.

These are not pseudonym emails.

These are emails directly from the White House, from the Office of the Vice President, to Rosemont Seneca.

How could you possibly write 1,000 emails to Rosemont Seneca and not know anything about your son's business and him not getting any kind of special favors?

The White House refused to allow the release of 200 emails referencing Hunter Biden's firm, citing executive privilege.

Release would disclose confidential advice between the president and his advisors.

So wait, was Rosemont Seneca advising the vice president on something?

Because that's a quote.

Release would disclose confidential advice between the president and his advisors.

Who at Rosemont is advising the vice president?

I mean, I'm Hunter.

Hunter Biden and his business associates frequently use their direct line of communications with the Office of the Vice President to leverage access to the Obama White House.

The White House guest lists, seating assignments, and biographies of guests for various official events, including the 2012 United Kingdom state dinner, the Turkey state luncheon, and the 2014 France state dinner, were shared with Rosemont Seneca employees.

One email contains an invitation forwarded to the White House for then Vice President Joe Biden to attend an event at UCLA for an international relations and invites then the Second Lady Jill Biden to participate in a world food program campaign.

Invitations from the White House for several events that Hunter Biden presumably attended or had requested tickets for guests are also shown in the National Archives document, Dump.

This is

remarkably amazing.

I mean, I'm not saying that we have irrefutable proof in a court of law yet.

We haven't seen these emails from the Sudan.

Correct.

But you are are obviously in denial if you do not think he was breaking the law here.

There's way too much smoke.

You can sit here and still deny it because we don't have the irrefutable proof that is prepared for a court of law.

But like you're just in denial.

You're trying to come up, you're trying to hold out here until this proof does eventually appear.

Hunter Biden received a notification from the State Department with updates and arrival information for the state luncheon.

Biden was involved in, Hunter, Biden, was involved in planning a state luncheon with Chinese officials at the White House

months before he traveled to the country to secure a lucrative deal with the Chinese government.

This is crazy.

They did.

Obama said he'd have the most transparent administration ever.

This is very transparent.

Transparent.

In a written response to the request for the documents, related to Hunter Biden, James Biden, and their foreign business dealings, the National Archives note of the group that the email messages include January 2011 guest list for the China State luncheon event held.

Emails obtained by the AFL reveal the broad access Hunter Biden enjoyed to the official government channels while his father was vice president.

He wasn't selling the illusion of access.

He had the access.

He was given the access.

And these are the official emails.

Yeah.

And like,

the only argument they have now is

as if these things were like unrelated.

You know, they're going to try to say, well, yes, Hunter talked to these business associates and Joe showed up to dinners with them at times and hung out with them for an hour.

But they were, you know, it's the only meal in history where you meet with a bunch of business associates and business never comes up.

Like that's never happened in human history before this, but this particular dinner was like that.

And there were apparently maybe as much as 100 of these dinners.

And it never.

100 now?

It's incredible.

You have to just be in legitimate denial.

You know, you just want to find a way out of this for your own political side.

And look, that's not, that's been, that's happened before.

It's happened on both sides.

It's happened on both sides.

But you have to be in denial to think that this was not going on.

I mean, we have way too much evidence at this point.

It's ridiculous.

And they keep going on television saying there's nothing tying this to Joe Biden Hunter.

Sure, but not joe

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Let me give you some additional news here on

the case into Joe and Hunter Biden.

Apparently, we now find out that top Justice Department officials were meddling in the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

They showed favoritism.

Now, listen to what they did.

This is according to the Daily Mail.

Attorneys for senior IRS investigator Gary Shapley revealed a top justice official approached them in April saying he wanted to investigate Shapley's claims of slow rolling and obstruction in the Hunter-Biden case.

Associate Deputy Director General

Bradley

Weisenheimer immediately met with Hunter's lawyers and his Delaware prosecutor and days later struck a sweetheart deal with President Sun getting blanket immunity and no jail time.

So, this guy was sent out

from the top of DOJ and said, Hey, these guys are complaining, you know, that we're playing games.

What do you, why don't you go talk to them?

So, he went in and talked to them, and he was like, Hey, we're really concerned about this.

What exactly is happening here?

What was

was going on?

Then he went back to his boss at DOJ and said,

they got pretty good evidence here that, you know, this has been slow rolling and they're not going to take it.

Then the next day,

that guy calls the lead attorney for Hunter Biden.

Then they all meet

and the Justice Department puts together this blanket immunity, which at the time

actually included blanket immunity on everything.

So this guy,

Merrick Garland says, no, we're not involved at all.

Really?

Because somebody in your office went and met with the whistleblowers, who a couple months later became whistleblowers, met with the whistleblowers, then he went to you, told you, then he went back out and he talked to Hunter Biden's lawyers.

And then that day day or the next day, you guys put together a deal to absolve Hunter Biden from everything and tried to jam it through.

And when you did,

the judge wised up and the whistleblowers came out.

We now know that that is true.

You know, Stu, you said a minute ago, and I understand it.

I really do.

Because

we're so stupid right now.

We're just at each other's throats.

And I don't mean there are Marxists, Leninists that want a revolution and want blood in the streets.

When they say they want an end to whiteness, they mean it.

When they say they want an end to America, they mean it.

An end to our lifestyle, they mean it.

But that's not our neighbor.

I don't think.

That's not our average Democratic neighbor.

Our democratic neighbor has not been hearing all of these facts.

So they don't know all of them.

And when we meet with our friends, or our former friends, or our family, or now some of us have former family, which is horrible, we don't listen because we've just argued back and forth.

But if we can get to a place to where we say, look,

this is our country.

This is our country, my country and your country.

We both have to live here.

And we have to have some

basic rules that we agree with.

And let's start with Mitch McConnell.

I'm a guy who votes generally for the Republicans.

Everybody's saying I'm only saying bad things about Joe Biden's age because I'm an ageist.

No,

I'm not.

Look at the way he acts.

You and I both know.

Would you give him the keys to your car?

You wouldn't.

Now,

I'm willing to admit my side has a problem with this.

Mitch McConnell.

And he's got to go.

If you won't give them the keys to your car, why

would you give them the keys to your children's future?

We have to say to our friends very calmly and

rationally, how.

Are you paying, have you paid attention to this at all?

Because I've tuned out so much, I know.

And have you paid attention?

Because,

well, let me just start here.

If

Donald Trump was taking money from China or Russia,

would it matter?

I know it would because that's what that investigation was all about.

And that was proven to be false.

You can get into an argument about that later if you want, but just have your stats and all of the facts ready for that argument.

Great.

Because it would have with me, if he were selling out access or anything like that, if he were doing that with Russia, one of our enemies, I would have been there with you voting for impeachment.

I would have been the first one in line.

Just like I am with Mitch McConnell.

No.

It's wrong.

And we have to have certain things because this is all of our country.

Both of us, all of us, we have to live here.

Let me lay out some things here.

Let me show you what we do have.

And then

take the president's statements.

I didn't know anything about my son's business dealings.

Here's a thousand emails from his office to his son's business partner.

His office was giving him government information on people that were coming to a state dinner that he would go to.

He helped, Hunter helped plan the Chinese visit.

And he was there to welcome.

And then a couple of months later, he gets, now I'm not saying Joe's involved in that one.

But is that using, is that his family using

access?

Yes.

Okay, can I ask you this?

There's like nine family members now that

are all involved that have offshore accounts.

Do you know anybody with an offshore account?

Because I don't.

And maybe there's a good reason to have an offshore account.

I don't know.

I don't know what it is, but maybe, but we should ask, why is it that Joe Biden's family and relatives all have offshore accounts?

And what do those people do?

Now,

we can kind of guess what they do.

They must all be energy because they were receiving money that the banks, 70 notices from the banks, said to the government red flag.

This looks like money laundering, but they did nothing about it.

Treasury did nothing.

They sent this money over to those shell corporations and put all that money in the bank of the Bidens.

Can we just ask, what did they do?

Maybe they are energy experts

and they all legitimately were on the payroll for Ukraine and China.

Maybe.

But that's, I don't see that on any of their resumes.

So, what did they do?

What did they do to earn the millions from the foreign oligarchs?

We just have to start.

Look.

The line that changed my life was from Thomas Jefferson, and I've said it a million times.

Question with boldness, even the very existence of God.

Now, he's saying this because back then you didn't question God.

That would make you a heretic.

You wouldn't question God.

What are you, an atheist?

No, I'm just questioning.

Question with boldness even the very existence of God.

4.

If there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

So,

ask honest questions.

But then,

when you get the answers

and they're provable to you,

and I know this in my own life because it brought me to Christ,

gosh, I don't want to, really?

I got to stop swearing.

I got to

care about other people and serve them.

I mean, I'm a whiner.

I don't want to do all that stuff.

I just want to be happy in my life.

Well, no, that's not the way it works.

And when I found that out, I didn't want to do it,

but

I wanted to be happy.

I wanted my life to make sense.

So,

okay, I'll do it.

And you don't do it like, okay, I'll do it.

But I remember laying in bed going, my whole life is going to change.

My whole life is going to change.

And it doesn't sound like a fun life because there's a lot of things that I like to do now that, I mean, come on, really?

Sin.

That's a pretty hefty word

but I did it because it was true

and so you were either somebody that is seeking the truth

or you are deluding yourself because you want to be comfortable

And that's why the truth shall set you free, but it will make you miserable first because it will change your course.

If, and you know this to be true because I've paid a high price time and again with audiences for just saying what I believe and knowing that you're not going to agree with me.

Oh, well,

live by the truth.

And you know that if I would have found that Donald Trump was dirty and was doing those things they accused him of, I would have turned on him.

I would have absolutely been leading the march.

And that would have probably been the end of my career, but I would have done it.

Ask your friends,

can we just call a truce for a minute?

And I'll look at anything you put up about Donald Trump and his crimes or whatever.

Because maybe you know something I don't know.

But can we come together and just talk about facts for a second?

And I'm not going to bring opinions or anything.

I'm going going to bring facts.

What do we know?

But we first have to admit to one another,

will it make a difference?

If I present the facts,

will it make a difference to you?

If it won't, well, then you're, I mean, then you're comfortable in your life and you're, you know, we all get what you deserve.

But if you're an honest person, which I believe you to be,

you look at the facts, and you may share some facts of your own.

Might change my mind.

I don't know.

But that conversation has to begin.

America has got to come together.

Our government is involved in massive corruption, way beyond, way beyond Nixon.

And if we don't stop it, we don't survive, and our children don't have a future.

And I don't care if it's left or right that's doing it.

I want all the weasels weeded out.

All of them.

Back in just a minute.

Ten years ago, the parallel economy said that you and I couldn't do it.

There wasn't a parallel economy.

We began building one together.

One of the first into it was the plays.

We disrupted the media.

Everybody said it couldn't be done.

Well, there's other companies that are really, it's very difficult to

be a cell phone company.

Very, you know, it's kind of, you know, cell towers and everything else.

Well, a company started this.

They're celebrating their 10th anniversary now, and it is Patriot Mobile.

They offer nationwide coverage, giving you access to all three major networks, which means you're getting the same coverage that you're accustomed to, but you don't have to put up with all the leftism and all of that stuff.

And you're saving money.

Switching is really easy.

Thanks to their 100% U.S.-based customer service team, you can keep your number, you can keep your phone, or you can upgrade.

They'll help you find the best plan for your needs, and you get the same coverage because they're on the same cell towers.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Last night on my Wednesday night special, we were talking about Hawaii and what's really going on in Hawaii.

And there's some really disturbing things that are happening.

And the government is almost 100%

responsible for this, the government and the response and the electric company, which is part of the government.

They never prepared.

They had all kinds of warnings.

I mean, just, I think it was like last year or the year before, they had another warning that this was going to happen.

Here's what you need to do.

And they didn't do it.

They were more interested in green energy than fixing anything.

And so there's horrible fire.

And this could go down into just a horrible partisan battle.

But Hawaii is about to

go into

real

suicidal kind of tendencies.

There's so many people that lived in this town, historic.

They've lost their heritage.

They've lost their house.

Many of them saw their relatives burned to death or, you know, couldn't escape and they've been waiting.

And I mean, they're already having, I think they've had three suicides already from survivors.

It's going to get really bad and

they're going to need

mental health help.

And one of the things that we always talk about at Mercury One is we, A,

we don't put our signs up anywhere.

You know, people always put their signs up and, you know, Red Cross.

We don't do that.

We don't care.

We're just there to help.

and

we help fund some of these other organizations that are local.

There's something big that we can do to help.

But

it's kind of along the lines, really, of the Afghanistan thing.

I mean,

nobody's really going to do it.

I mean, they'll get government to help, but I'd rather have,

you know, free people that just want to volunteer their time.

It'll change them.

It'll change you.

I'll tell you about that coming up in just a second.

Stand by.

You know, for years we look the other way as corporate America has pushed messaging that alienates us, attacks our values, our reason, our common sense, all of that.

Well, I want you to join me and millions of patriotic Americans who would like to do business with people that

are not assaulting everything that we believe.

We welcome to the program a man whose name I have a hard time pronouncing.

it's Jip

Decker.

That's true.

JP Decker is the Mercury One executive director.

He was a senior producer on this program for a long time.

Then he stabbed me in the back and went to work for Fox.

I told him not to, but he did, and he was successful there.

But then he comes crawling.

Then he comes crawling back.

And I said, okay, I love people.

Charity.

Go be the executive director.

I did come back.

Let's make that.

I came back.

you did come back.

I did come back.

I don't remember the quarreling part.

But JP, you were just in Maui

and we were talking about this on last night's show.

And you told me, and

it's strange.

There's a story in the New York Times today

about how

white people have just done Hawaii so badly.

And same with Puerto Rico.

And, you know, it's all from the, I don't know, the Christian missionary.

I mean, it's just so convoluted.

And, and I know that

some people

in Hawaii and some people in, in, in other places that are far away states

think that we don't think of them as Americans.

And

you, you were telling me

that

You had a hard time at the beginning because people just would look at you and go, oh, you're from the mainland.

And then that was a problem.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Anytime in anywhere that I went to, the first thing they thought, I was going to bring wads of cash and buy them out.

I mean, and they said, oh, we've already had many people come in, nonprofits, everyone say, oh, yeah, as long as you put your logos up somewhere and make sure you tell people that we're the ones helping you, we will help you.

And I always would tell them, there's no cameras.

A couple of people, we didn't film until after we talked to them for a long time.

But I said, you know, we don't have cameras.

We're not here for that.

I'm here to ask how you're you're doing and how I can help as a nonprofit make Lahaina Lahaina again.

And that would disarm them and help them to know that I'm not in it for gain.

I'm in it to help.

Right.

And what we do at Mercury One is we'll go into these disaster situations when we're in Florida now, right?

Yeah, we are.

So

we go into these disaster situations and we assess.

I mean, first thing we do is we go to our go-to partners that are always, you know, first in.

And we say, what do you need and we give them the supplies or whatever it is they need then we go in and we find the locals that are actually doing something that they they can do best more than anybody else uh and we are not there we never are there to get our pictures taken or hand them a giant check or anything we don't have we don't have a pr firm that no is for mercury one because we don't do that that.

It's truly about helping and enabling people to help themselves.

Yep.

And when we went in, we helped provide food, water,

and this was through our partners, electricity

and Wi-Fi.

But now there's a bigger problem.

And that's what we're focused on now, which is the mental health crisis that's happening there.

And

it hasn't shown itself yet, but it will soon.

You know

just what happened with COVID, how sketchy all of our families are right now because of

mental illness

or depression or things that our country and our world is going through

a fundamental transformation, to quote Barack Obama.

And it is transforming us as people.

And

we're not aware that we are so disconnected from reality.

And now, Ad,

knowing that your family burned to death in the house and you're a survivor.

They didn't survive.

There's a lot of survivors remorse going on with a lot of the people that I spoke with.

I mean, Glenn, all of us have been through some kind of traumatic experience.

Not like that.

Not like that.

And that's what a lot of the survivors were telling me.

They even said, I don't know how to help my brothers or my sisters or my family or my friends that were there.

And that is a problem.

And that's why they feel left.

That's why they feel left alone because they're so focused on helping each other.

And all the outside groups are saying, Well, we'll give you this money, we'll give you this.

And but they're not helping with the mental side of things, they haven't even processed what they've been through, and it's been almost a month.

So, you told me this last night live on the show, and I just had this feeling that, okay, that's that's what we should do.

Um, and so, what I want to ask is:

if you are a doctor, you're somebody who you deal in PTSD,

EMDR,

any kind of trauma, and that's your deal.

Would you be willing to volunteer to be a part of our team?

We'd like as many as possible to go over and help them with mental health.

We don't,

all we want them to see is people from the mainland.

that just love them and don't want anything from them.

We just came because we love you and you're part of us, not only the human family, but the American family.

And I think, I'm getting goosebumps when I say this, I think we can make a real difference in just the love quotient,

to take this tragedy and turn it into an opportunity to heal much more than just Lahaina.

Yep,

there was a moment, quite a few moments when the question that I would ask anyone that I was with was, how are you doing?

And that's all that mattered.

And they just would cry and tell me their story and their pain that they're going through.

And then they would tell me about the suicides that have happened already and that they don't want anyone else to die.

You know, it's amazing.

I remember on 9-11,

I remember we went out that night.

We were in Tampa.

And I think you were probably there, Stu.

Oh, yeah, we were together that night.

And that night we went to Outpack State.

Output State.

Yeah, we went to Outpack State.

That's one of the weirdest dinners of all time.

Ever, ever.

It was so weird.

And I remember we got into the parking lot and somebody was there.

And one of us just said to that person, like they were our old friends, but we didn't know them.

And we said, how you doing?

And we sat and they may have cried.

I don't remember because it happens so often.

But we just saw each other truly as brothers and sisters and we were all going through something.

Yeah.

And it's, it's really important.

And they're, they're not, I mean, can you imagine processing this?

And where am I going to have my next meal?

Where am I going to, where am I going to sleep?

What about my clothing?

I don't have any documents left.

I don't have any pictures of my family.

I've got nothing.

Can you imagine just processing that, let alone what you probably saw?

And, you know, 10 years ago,

where I'm from, more Oklahoma, was destroyed.

My home, my family were safe, but everything was gone.

And within 12 hours, you said, JP, let's go.

And we went with one of our partners and Mercury One.

And to see that firsthand, it still affects me.

And I wasn't even there to see my town destroyed.

But, you know,

these people are seeing something I've never seen.

When I was there driving through it, the first time, Sean Foster, who was with me, we were driving through, We were shocked.

It is gone.

It's ashes.

It's really, I've never experienced anything like this except for

when Joe Biden said, no, except for the

Yellowstone fires.

And I drove through right after the Yellowstone fire.

And

when

something has been made into ash,

it is

the power of fire is overwhelming.

And that was just, you know, trees and, God forbid, some animals.

This is

man.

Man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And these kids have seen things that no one should ever see.

Okay.

So we are looking for doctors that are trained, PTSD, counseling, EMR, EMDR,

pastors that have dealt in trauma.

We would love you to join our team.

We'll set you up

and get you there if you would just do a few days.

And it's not a vacation.

Right.

No.

But

please contact us.

You can reach out to the email address is communications at mercury1e.org.

That's communications at mercuryone.org.

I know we, do we have Chad on?

I haven't talked to Chad about this.

Have you?

I just got off the phone with him before I came in here.

So Chad Robichaux is

just fantastic.

He's with Mighty Oaks.

He helped, or we helped him in Afghanistan and other places.

And this is kind of what they do with people who are experiencing PTSD from being in battle overseas.

Chad.

Hey, Glenn, we're going to find other ways to meet up, but glad to be on.

I know.

Every time we see each other, it's because there's something horrible that has happened.

Yeah, that's right.

So, did JP get a chance to really explain this to you on what we want to do?

We want to send, if your team can spare anybody, I know you're all over the world and still in Afghanistan.

If you can spare anybody that really can help on the spiritual healing needs and the,

you know, the

the trauma needs

yeah, you know, JP and I talked and I went right to our when this first kicked off, you know, we my heart was right away like, hey, we have to get people out there and help.

And then you always had the concern, you know, am I going to be in the way?

Am I really needed?

You know, you want to clutter the but but after talking to JP and talking to other people on the ground there, there's a massive need for people to come in, volunteers to come in and just be with people, pray with people, help, give people some

insights on how to move forward.

And so, you know, Mighty Oaks has done that all over the world.

We do that for our troops here and and uh we've done that in partnership with with you and afghanistan and in ukraine i have teams still working in afghanistan and ukraine right now but as we assess this we we uh we certainly have the bandwidth to do it with something we're willing to take on and feel obligated to take on uh this is our country and our fellow people and uh our fellow countrymen and and uh you know hawaii is not some far-off land it's

and uh we we want to we want to go and help chat but yes uh it's so jp that we're we're in okay um let me ask you

can you give us something

out of all the tragedy that you're involved in all over the world?

Give me something today that I can chew on all day and go, wow, that is really good to know.

Give me something good.

I mean, I think through the tragedy around the world, especially, I think where I've seen it most is in Ukraine, where you've seen people that literally lost everything, just like the people in Hawaii.

You see people at their most vulnerable time and their weakest moment find a hope that they never found before find strength and resiliency they never found before and the way they find that is through community I think in most cases people in America especially but all over the world we get in busy lives and we live our independent lives and we we kind of don't wave at our neighbors and and when crisis happen I guess people come together and lock arms and as actually a beautiful thing I was in a place called Kharkiv Ukraine in a in a bunker with 300 people and and most of them had lost family members, they lost their homes, they lost their everything.

And I woke up in the morning and they asked me to come down come out from the bunker and be with them in this large open area.

They had maybe 300 people in there all singing praise and worship.

And these aren't people that normally would, you know, church attendants or everything, they're just worshiping God, people that lost everything.

And it just like took me back.

Like, how could these people be

it really just convicted me because I'm like, how could these people be so joyous right now in such such a hardest moment of their life when they lost family members and everything?

And it's just people coming together, finding hope and locking arms and supporting each other and being there for each other.

And, you know, I think in those moments, and I know you're asking for volunteers, and some people may be thinking, like, how do I even help?

What do I say?

And I was in that moment in Ukraine that I'm like, they wanted me to get up and talk and like, what do I say?

And the only thing I could say in that moment was, I don't know what you're going through.

No one's ever attacked.

besides 9-11, but no one's ever, I never had to fight for my home and my family.

But all I can say is that we care.

People care, and we're here.

I'm right here.

I came here to be with you from America, to Kharkiv, and I'm here with you right now to show you, if anything else, that people care.

And, you know, if volunteers go out there, sometimes you don't have to have all the answers, but you can just sit in front of someone and say, I came here because I care about you.

You're not alone in this.

I might not understand what you're going through, but I'm here with you.

And sometimes that's enough.

Chad, thank you.

Could I ask you to hold for one minute?

I want to ask you another question on the air, but it's not related.

All right, great.

Hang on just a second.

Chad Robicho.

He's the author of Saving Z,

which is an amazing story out of Afghanistan.

And he is also the founder of the Mighty Oaks Foundation and a U.S.

Marine Corps force recon veteran.

Okay.

JP, thank you very much.

Again, it's communications at mercury1.org.

Let's go make a difference, do something good.

Despite the looming uncertainty of U.S.-China standoff, the war in Ukraine, and China's property meltdown, investors are still hanging tight to gold.

And why not?

Central banks are buying.

Emerging markets are showing strong retail demand.

Gold just saw its longest winning streak since July.

Experts are even predicting now it'll reach a record of $2,250 an ounce soon.

This is that would be remarkable

if that actually hit that.

You don't root for gold to go up.

I buy it as a hedge against insanity.

And everything that is happening now, right now, please, please consider putting your dollar into something solid, something tangible.

Please, if you right now go to Goldline and call them up at 866GoldLine,

they have a deal going on where you can buy 25 quarter ounce gold Mayflower rounds and they will give you a whopping 25 one ounce silver Mayflower rounds free.

So you buy 25 of the quarter-ounce gold, you get 25 of the one-ounce silver for free.

Doesn't extend to IRA orders, and as always, Goldline has your back on the economic roller coaster.

Find out if it's right for you.

Please call 866 Goldline, 866Goldline or Goldline.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

Hey, Chad, you've been over again and again and again in Ukraine, and I trust you.

And I don't know if you can say anything.

And if you say, I can't be frank right now, just say it.

Yeah.

But, you know, I saw an interview with

Orban from Hungary with Tucker Carlson.

And Orban was clear.

He's like, you're not even close to these guys winning.

It's not even a question on Ukraine if they can win.

They can't.

It's futile.

Is that true?

Yeah.

You know,

Ukraine and Ukraine, obviously standing independently, has no chance to win.

Russia would take them in a day.

But I think what a lot of people don't realize, and people talk about the fear of World War III, is that this actually is World War III.

In my opinion, from being there, this is World War III.

It's just different.

It's not World War II where you see people storming the beaches of Normandy.

This is a proxy war with 30 countries around the world fighting.

So Ukraine is just this massive place where you have Iranian drones

killing Ukrainians.

You have U.S.

drones killing Russians.

So

this isn't what people see on the surface as a Ukraine versus Russian war.

This is a,

you know, I would say a proxy world war taking place on the battlefield of Ukraine.

Can this,

for me, it's much more complex than that.

Can this be

played out without going to a world war that everyone would recognize as a world war or nuclear war?

It certainly can with a competent leader in the White House of the United States.

You know,

you have President Biden making the decision to send

$100 plus billion, $130 billion

there,

which is provoking

and prolonging this war.

I mean, it disincentivizes anyone to end it.

Zawinski is certainly not going to end it when he's getting, you know, over $100 billion from the United States.

Why would he?

He's becoming one of the richest men in the world over it.

We know Vladimir Putin's not going to back down because of his pride.

So,

you know, if their competent leader would be there in the White House, I think this thing could be over in two weeks.

And, you know, President Trump continues to kind of boast in the campaign trail that he could end this thing in a week or a day.

And,

you know,

I think he's right.

I think he could.

I think any strong leader that's willing to take the right stance in this, one, economically, like Reagan did against Gorbachev, because Russia has

one commodity, oil, so to sanction that or to lead that sanctioning.

But also, I think you could use Article 5, NATO Article 5, in our favor.

We know Russia's committed war crimes.

You can move in a peacekeeping force, a humanitarian force, for the people of Ukraine.

Wow.

And if you move that up with a ceasefire, then, you know, Vladimir Putin would not risk an article by violations.

You could have a standstill there.

Chad, thank you.

People of Kentucky,

please, for the love of Pete, just stand up and call Mitch McConnell's office and say, we love Mitch McConnell, or we don't love Mitch McConnell, whatever.

This is is not about politics.

This is about our country.

For the love of Pete, resign.

Resign.

At least the leadership resign.

Yeah, 100% needs to be done today.

Should be done today.

Done today.

The man obviously is not capable of doing this job.

And

look, there are always political considerations, right, that are involved in this.

We're adults.

We know this.

But the law was passed a couple of years ago in Kentucky that the Democratic governor wouldn't just be able to name a Democrat.

The Republicans will be able to put three people forward and he will choose from that group of three people.

So you're going to get a Republican replacement.

It is time.

This poor guy who, I mean, we've had all sorts of problems with Mitch McConnell over the years, but the man is clearly suffering.

And you have to do something.

It's got to be like a petite mall.

You know,

there's grand mall seizures and then petite mall mall seizures, and they don't, they just kind of like, you kind of freeze, you know?

You know more about this than I do.

I have two, two daughters with cerebral palsy, or I'm sorry, with epilepsy.

So I'm thankful I don't know that much about it.

But to me,

when I think of a seizure, I think of something a little more almost violent, right?

Well, there'll be a grand mall.

Mary has grand malls.

And when, especially if she was off medication, they are severe.

When she was in the hospital before her brain surgery,

they took her off all medication to just see, you know, to monitor the seizures.

And we were in the room and she started having a seizure.

We have never seen that before.

And the whole family was freaked out.

We were like, what is happening to her?

What is going on?

And it's full grand mall and it is violent.

A petite mall is, it'll be like,

my other daughter has petite mall seizures, and she is, you'll be talking to her, and they don't last very long.

And you'll be talking to her, and she'll just kind of be looking at you or staring off in space, and then she'll say, I'm sorry, what did you say?

And she just, it just shut down for a second.

Because he did sort of come back after it.

Sort of.

Sort of, like he mumbled and he couldn't really form his words, but you could tell he once again was having thoughts.

Here he is.

Here he is.

If you didn't know, Senator senator daniel cameron uh do you have a comment on daniel cameron this is the second one well i think the government race is going to be very close

um

far and away the best candidate we could have nominated

and uh

i mean

stop you know the first question that put him into this whatever this event is uh was um you're going to rerun in 2026.

How do you feel about 2026?

Which is laughable.

I mean, comical.

If it was not so sad, it would be comical.

Like, they're asking him if he's going to run again.

The guy can't even stand there.

Term limits.

Term limits.

But in the meantime, please, for the love of Pete,

you know what this is?

This is the people around these people.

It shows you the power of the machine.

It doesn't matter.

They don't care if the person is cognitively there or not.

It just runs.

They'd rather have somebody like that who's no longer capable of doing it themselves because then they can just do what they want and he gets the blame or he gets the credit.

But it's nobody.

I, you know, Stu and I were joking off the air today.

I'm thinking about running for John Cornyn's office.

Okay.

And, but not by myself with Stu, because Stu does, you know, he's like got that kind of mind where he likes to research and all of that stuff.

I don't,

but I'm good at giving speeches.

That's a hell of a speech.

Right.

I'd probably suck as a senator if it was just me, but I think Stu and I would be good.

So I'm going to run, but I'll just be honest with you.

I'm the guy saying it, but this is really the guy who's really doing all the research and everything else.

To be honest, I'll probably outsource it to Bangladesh, just so you guys know.

Right.

Like I'm not sure you can't be expected to do all of it.

It just seems like a lot to avoid.

It would be nice if they were just honest about it.

But vote for us.

I'd rather, honestly, I'd rather have that approach approach

if everybody was just being honest.

Look, I'm really good at this.

I'm not good at that.

You know, I'll be really, really, I'm there on this, but I'm going to need some help over here.

Wouldn't that be great and refreshing?

Instead, what you get is...

And by the way, this is, of course, going to work out terribly for all of us.

You will be punished for what's going on right now because if Mitch McConnell does step down from leadership, likely Cornyn will run for it.

He's already said he will.

He'll probably win.

And he's already a terrible terrible senator from Texas.

He used to be good at one point.

Way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way back.

I think

maybe Kennedy was president.

I'm not sure.

Right.

Like, it's, is he better than, you know, I don't know.

Biden?

How low are expectations?

Right.

Like, he's, he's a, he's a, he has a terrible voting record.

He should be, and it's embarrassing because it's Texas, right?

Like, if, if he was in Maine, I mean, he'd be fucking right, whatever, fine.

But, like, the fact that you're getting this performance out of Texas and you're about to get it nationwide, I will not be surprised at all if he actually wins.

Which is

if he wins that, I think we should run.

I think it should be

Glen Stew.

You know what I mean?

Just Glenn Stew.

This is not a job I want.

It's not a job I want.

I've worked closely enough with you over the years.

Wouldn't we be willing to do it together?

Wouldn't we be willing to do it together?

Yeah, I guess.

If it would be good for the country, it'd be good for the country.

Can we outsource it to Bangladesh?

No, not Bangladesh.

Maybe

I'll go on up work and just post the job

to say Texas senator to see if someone will take it for $8 an hour.

But it's just, look, you said it before, Glenn.

Term limits.

Term limits, I know some people don't like it.

I will say it is among the most popular policy proposals in our discourse.

We're talking about 80%

support across the board.

And honestly, it also, while it's more popular among Republicans, it is also very popular even among Democrats and also among Independents.

You're talking about, you know, the easiest, the most common policy proposal is three terms in the House, two terms in the Senate.

That would get you 18

years in this job.

18 years

in these two jobs.

You'd have a lot of influence.

You'd have 18 years.

That's plenty.

Plenty of time for you to do what you need to do and go live an actual life outside of washington dc it would be a thing that would it would eliminate all of these situations largely i mean i guess someone could run for the first time at 80 and there could solve a problem

but well you know what if they don't act 80 if you can win at 80 you can win at 80.

yeah you know what i mean look but the problem is the the the benefits of the incumbency are so powerful and the system is set up to punish anyone who's not an incumbent when it comes to money and influence and all these other things that these guys just win.

I mean, Diane Feinstein, everyone knew she was incoherent when she won last time.

This isn't something that happened in the middle of her turn.

I think Mitch McConnell could run today and they'd still vote him in.

Yeah, it's probably true.

I think he could still vote him in.

Yep, even after this.

And that's a huge problem.

The founders wanted a system in which people basically showed up, voted a couple of times and left, right?

They would go back and have normal jobs.

We're not there.

I would like us to get back to that, but certainly we can dissuade people from making the incredible lust for power their entire career, right?

Like, can we at least limit them from that?

And this is something that would pass easily in state after state after state.

It's something you could, I think you would have to amend the Constitution to put in.

I don't think you could just pass a law on it.

It probably wouldn't fail.

It would probably fail in the courts if you tried to just do it as a law.

You need to do it

as an amendment.

But it's overwhelmingly popular.

And why these candidates are not out there picking a policy that's this popular and running hard on it?

For the same reason they don't say yes to voter ID.

It's also across the board, Democrat, Republican, very popular, and the 80%, if I'm not mistaken.

And they don't do it.

Why?

Because they want it.

They want the gray areas.

And that's why.

And I I honestly would be fine, not fine, but I would accept a proposal that grandfathered, and I mean grandfathered these people in, great, great, great, grandfathered these people in that are already in office.

If you're going to vote for it and it's going to be locked in the Constitution, we'll let you stay as long as you want to stay.

Fine.

I'd be fine with that.

I just want this to stop.

This is something long-term that is a massive problem in our country.

If it would happen, though, you would have to get, you'd have to bribe their staff because the staff is the one that would make the decision.

you got it's true it's so sad let me let me give you one thing now i read this story uh and and i thought oh of course biden administration sends 250 million dollars more to ukraine taking advantage of pentagon accounting error

okay so you're like oh well that's a that's a quite that's quite a number a 250 million dollar accounting error wow that's bad Stu help me out, seeing that I'm the guy who's talking, but you're the guy who does the research.

Let's see if you understand this the same way.

The Department of Defense had been calculating the price of the equipment provided to Ukraine by tallying the cost of the weapon that it was replacing.

So,

if you had a weapon, but it was $1,000 when you bought it, but it's going to cost $2,000 to replace it, we were counting the $2,000.

Okay?

Okay.

Right?

Isn't that how you'd read it?

It was replacing instead of the price of the weapon actually going to the Ukrainian troops.

So we have given now $401 billion

to Ukraine.

In arms, because we've given much more than that overall.

Right, yeah, in arms, okay?

41.

The accounting error is not 250 million.

It's 6.2 billion

because of we were counting on replacing it, which we have to.

That's the right way.

That's not an accounting error.

That's the right way to account for something.

And somebody in the Pentagon said, you know, we can send more if we just count the value of the used weapon.

And so they're counting it that way, which allows them to send,

because it's already been authorized, another $6.2 billion.

That's outrageous.

That is absolutely outrageous.

Incredible.

Have you seen the

videos of the drones slamming into the buildings in Moscow?

I mean, America would not put up with that for a day.

Washington, D.C.

being hit by a drone attack from another country?

No.

No.

No.

Not a day.

No.

And, you know, we think that Vladimir Putin is just a

brutal, bloodthirsty killer, which he is.

But for him to be restrained like this,

can you imagine New York, Canada's lobbying drones over the border and they're just going into our buildings in New York City?

We would have zero tolerance of that.

Right.

And of course, and he did respond to Ukraine, but the restraint we're talking about is not his restraint toward Ukraine.

They're probably ours.

They're probably ours.

I don't know where else they'd be getting them.

And, you know,

our policy is we are not giving Ukraine any weapons that can reach past 100 miles inside Russia.

So this would be yet another violation of our own red lines.

You know what?

There's a chance that Vladimir Putin is remaining restrained until the next election is over.

There's a chance,

if this guy doesn't bumble it so horribly, that Putin is like, look,

stay, stay, stay, stay.

Because if we elevate this thing, it will mean missile launches.

Stop.

Just put up with it.

See if Trump wins.

Because Trump will end it in a day.

He really will.

Because

he speaks Putin's language enough.

And Putin.

Trump will know because he's a deal maker.

Everybody has to win and everybody's going to have to take less than what they want.

Wow.

I don't think this would have started if Donald Trump were president.

I don't know that you can end this in a day.

But, you know, I like your optimism.

I like his optimism on this.

I want a deal struck.

And frankly,

my top priority is not what the lines are between these two countries.

No.

I want this to stop.

And I think that

that is a switch that our military and leadership needs to change.

We need to flip that switch.

Our military,

Ukraine is firing howitzers, 60,000 shells every day.

Do you know how many we can make in a month?

They shell

boom, 60,000 howitzers a day.

We're sending our supply over there.

How many can we restock with new?

So we'd need, gosh, I mean,

a lot.

20,000 is our current capacity in a month.

In a month.

In a month.

This guy is doing to our

reserve, our ammunition reserve, exactly what he did to the oil reserve.

There's going to come a time, and it's going to come soon, where America will not be able to respond.

So

they need 1.8 million a month, and we can do 20,000?

Is that good?

A month.

Is that good?

Can we get that?

Is that sustainable?

Would you say it's sustainable?

No, no, no.

And I know you're all about sustainability.

So, no, not sustainable.

Suboptimal.

Okay.

Sub-optimal.

Sub-optimal.

Okay.

Not optimal.

No, no.

Sub-optimal.

Sub-optimal.

Got it.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's not good.

In fact, you know, close.

No, not even, not even close.

Close to optimal.

No.

Wow.

Sad.
