These 'Targets of Tyranny' Will NOT Stop Fighting: Glenn's Special Unpacked | Guests: Amy Nelson & Jeff Younger | 11/17/22

and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.

I want to talk to you about how much you're paying for your home, how much you are paying in credit cards.

I really, really would like you to pay attention to American financing.

Just give them a call and consider refinancing your mortgage at a lower interest rate or a consolidation loan that will get you out from underneath those things like high interest credit card bills.

There is a stat.

I've got it someplace in the show today.

And it's in the show prep.

So if you want to get the daily show prep from me, just sign up at GlennBack.com.

But

the credit card debt is going through the roof, and so will interest rates.

Please, please, please be careful.

American Financing at 800-906-2440, they can help you save money, perhaps.

Take 10 minutes, 10 minutes, and save.

The average person is saving $695 a month.

American Financing, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if the corners surviving.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day of time to rise.

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

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Well, remember when we said,

are we just giving Ukraine a blank check?

I mean, is that what we're doing here?

Apparently so.

Here's

General Milley yesterday.

And we in the United States are determined to continue to support Ukraine with the means to defend themselves.

for as long as it takes.

But at the end of the day,

Ukraine retain, will remain a free and independent country with its territory intact.

Wow.

Okay, so I guess whatever they do, okay.

And what God is it that we're worshiping there?

God of war,

which one?

Because

reason seems to not be playing a big role in our life today, so we must be worshiping something.

Here's Chuck Schumer yesterday on

why it's important that we legalize illegal immigrants.

Now more than ever, we're short of workers.

We have a population that is not reproducing it on its own with the same level that it used to.

The only way we're going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the DREAMers, and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the DREAMers, but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented

there are.

Hang on just a second.

I just want to know are we worshiping the earth where it's good to reduce the surplus population so we shouldn't have babies because that hurts Gaia?

Or

is this the replacement theory that they said

was so crazy and

I've always thought was crazy?

What exactly is this?

Does anything make sense?

I'm going to try to square the circle in 60 seconds.

You like saving money?

I mean, the reason I ask, I guess there are some people.

The guy at F FTX, no, I don't like saving money.

You know,

everybody likes to save money, don't they?

Really?

Maybe not all of the people in Congress, but that's not their money.

So

we have this great church around us called Gateway.

Do you go to Gateway?

No, you don't go.

Sometimes sometimes.

I really like it.

Tony Evans was there this weekend and he was like, we got to try to make sense.

I mean, what is happening?

What is happening?

That's a good question.

Okay, really good question.

And so,

you know, I thought, hmm, how is he going to do this politically?

What's happening?

He didn't talk politics at all.

He didn't talk politics at all.

He did start with Humpty Dumpty, but that's a different story.

He brought up 2 Chronicles.

You know, 2 Chronicles.

2 Chronicles.

Do you remember two together?

Yeah, okay.

So this is Old Testament stuff.

And

let's see.

He said, for a long time, Israel was without a true God, without a priest to teach, and without the law.

Hmm.

So without the true God, that means

there were gods, just not the true God.

So that would be like Moloch, which Moloch you worshipped if you wanted fertility.

He was the God of fertility.

And then, of course, you had to kill your baby, but don't worry about that.

So gods were things that would do things for you, and you expected things from these gods.

Now, these are my thoughts on this.

Gee,

we're all looking for a savior now that will go to Washington and do things for us.

Has that become one of our gods?

I thought I spent a lot of time this morning, you know, not prepping for this show.

Actually, just thinking, you know, selfishly about me.

Because, come on, it's my Glenn Beck program.

It's all about me.

And I, I,

without going into any detail,

I can't imagine how you could inflame my family more than it is right now.

It's just

on fire.

And so I've had a lot of time of soul searching.

Like, wow,

what did I do wrong here?

What's happening?

And so today I was thinking, okay, so what's happening?

And what are my gods?

I spent an enormous amount of time looking for historical items and an enormous amount of money.

And I thought, is that my God?

Am I pursuing that too much?

I'm just, I'm in a place of real confusion right now,

which I fit right in with the rest of society.

So that's good.

But it says, for a long time, Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach.

Well,

we got that.

We have,

you're going someplace?

You got

anybody who's actually teaching the law?

Do you have anybody who's actually teaching you about, let's say, cancel culture?

Why is cancel culture wrong?

Because it's anti-biblical.

It's anti-forgiveness.

It's not fair.

It's jury by the mob.

Do you have a priest or a pastor or rabbi, anybody talking about that?

And showing how the law corrects this law by the rule of mob?

But in their distress, they turned to God.

the God of Israel and sought him.

And he was found by them.

In those days, see if this sounds familiar.

In those days, it was not safe to travel about.

Did you read about the couple that just got married in San Francisco?

And they wanted to get their

picture, their wedding pictures taken at the Palace of Fine Arts, which is the Presidio.

It's beautiful, beautiful.

And it is the most popular place to take wedding photos for weddings.

Well, last weekend, this couple just got married.

They're having this photographer.

And these two guys come up and they just clock

the photographer on the back of the head.

He falls down and he's still conscious.

And they're trying to grab his stuff.

And he's like, hey, and he actually fights back.

And these two guys end up running away, but the bride is crying and the groom is trying to comfort her, and the photographer is just freaked out.

An hour later, at the Presidio, somebody else does the same thing, except this time gets away and takes all of the camera equipment.

It's not safe anywhere.

There's no common decency.

I don't know why I thought of that.

In those days, it was not safe to travel about.

The inhabitants of the

lands were in great turmoil.

Hmm.

Notice it says lands.

Great turmoil.

That's kind of like

more than just us.

By the way, did you see that

interest, or I mean, sorry, the inflation rate is now over 11%

in

England.

In fact, Germany is starting to hoard cash.

The banks are because they're afraid of runs on the bank and total civil unrest this winter when it gets cold.

Anyway, the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil.

One nation would be crushed by another.

One city crushed by another city

because God was troubling them with every kind of distress.

This is the way God used to be.

This is like what we were with our kids.

When they were little, we were like, don't do that or it's a timeout.

And they go, timeout?

I'll take that any day of the week.

Fine.

But the Old Testament, God was, hey, stop it or else.

But then we grew up and we got a New Testament.

We got a new partnership with God.

And he's like, look, I'm just going to forgive you.

on everything.

If you turn your heart back to me, I just forgive you.

And, you know, you're an adult now.

This is where I am with my kids now.

I'm just like, hey, dude, whatever.

Your life.

Dad's not here to bail you out anymore because apparently the only way you can learn is if you feel the full brunt force of running down the stairs and just thinking that that door is open and you run right into it.

and you know smash your face against the wall congratulations dad's been there to say, whoa, whoa, slow down.

Don't do that.

Don't run.

You're going to hit your, you know, God.

I'm smarter than that.

And then you run down the stairs.

Okay.

So at some point, dad just goes, whatever.

And they have to feel the full ramifications of what they've done.

That's what's happening to us now.

We have replaced God and we have shooed him out of everything.

Everything, even church.

Go to some churches, they're not even talking about God.

It's like, what are you talking about?

What?

This is a poetry hour.

What?

They're not even doing it in churches.

It's not like we've got rid of him in the public square.

We've got rid of him in like his house too.

Yeah, can you just move out?

I mean, you know, not outside, but not inside either.

Just can you just move on out a bit?

Now, to me, this sounds like what's going on.

Maybe not.

I think it is.

But here's the next thing God says.

But as for you,

surely he's not talking about me.

But as for you,

be strong.

Do not give up,

for your work will be rewarded.

I thought that might be something that we should pass on today.

Maybe, you know.

I know, it's just an old dusty story.

Written by men who are enslaving other men.

They didn't even know how to how to write code.

And then they're telling us all these crazy stories.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I tend to believe

there might be a purpose for these stories.

And it could be as simple as because people are stupid and keep doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different

end result.

Could be that.

I'm just saying, if you're a little down in the mouth today, Eeyore,

be strong.

Don't give up.

Your work will be rewarded.

Brian in Alabama, he writes in about his experience with Relief Factory.

He says, after taking Relief Factor for three weeks, I found that at least 90% of my pain is gone.

It was beginning to limit my mobility and my ability to get things done at work and at home.

I'm amazed at relief, Relief Factor, and the relief that I've gotten from it.

I should have started taking Relief Factor a year ago when I first heard you talking about it on the show.

Brian, thank you very much.

Listen,

nobody does stuff the first time they hear me talking about it.

In fact, my kids, for 18 years, they haven't done a damn thing.

Apparently, dad just over there yep.

And

what is he talking about?

I don't know.

It's just dad.

Okay.

Anyway, I'm glad you took the advice and I'm glad it worked for you.

Relief Factor, three-week quick start, only $19.95.

It's a trial pack.

Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.

Just go to relief factor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

Get the 1995 three-week quick start.

Again, that's relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

Relief Factor, feel the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

Was that a news monologue or was that about

life and maybe in general or more specifically

in your case?

There was passion behind that that seemed different than like, taxes are too high.

Is anybody really?

I mean, because maybe it's just me.

Is that all you're experiencing in life?

Are you going through all you're going through right now because taxes are too high?

I mean, that does suck.

It does suck.

I'm fully on board.

Believe me.

But yes, I agree.

There's, you know,

I was talking to my wife about this

last night, I guess.

We were going through a series of utter catastrophes

that

it's honestly not as much us, but friends and family are going through and difficult times.

Oh, it will happen to you.

It has happened to me.

It just

exact moments.

I thought that too.

But I'm just here to tell you, hey, don't worry, things can get worse.

Oh, yes.

Believe me, I totally understand.

Right, right.

And

so I and I do find,

first of all, when you have periods of respite from these things, it's important to

take count of those moments because they don't always come around.

And you can get locked up in

these other life things that really derail everything you're trying to do.

But secondly,

when you'd realize that these things that hit you on a more, let's say, local level

really are the ones that...

affect you much, much more than the bigger things that we might talk about from a national news policy perspective, right?

Like those things are really important.

We'll continue to talk about them.

This is not going to become a family therapy talk

every day, really.

I could use some.

But it is, you do realize how important getting that stuff right is as it compares to some Senate policy that we're all going to worry about.

Yeah, I mean, if you don't fix the family, it won't be, it won't fix.

Well, it goes back to what you were talking about with the founders.

What was it?

Pro Deo.

Propatria pro familia.

I've always thought it was for God for country for family.

It's not, according to the founders, it is for God for family for country.

Because without the family, there is no country.

Well, we could import some illegal aliens.

You know what I mean?

They'll make families for us.

Wow, doesn't that sound great?

Doesn't that just sound like the typical American thing to say?

We're not making families here anymore.

Let's get some of those dark-skinned people to make people for us.

What?

I mean,

wow.

Okay.

All right.

Or, you know, we could encourage everybody just to have more kids.

I'm going to go back to something that I thought of when I was about six years old, maybe seven.

When did I first realize when babies, how babies were made.

But I remember saying to my parents, I think everyone should just start making babies with everyone else.

And they were like, oh, Glenn, what?

And I'm like, well, there would be no race then.

If we just all started having babies with everybody else.

Oh, they'd find something.

They'd find everybody else.

Oh, everything looked exactly identical.

I mean, this is the Star Belly Sneeches.

Yes, it is.

From Dr.

Seuss.

Like, you'd find something to screw it up.

Yes, you would.

They'd find something to complain about.

Yes.

It'd be intelligence.

Yeah.

We should flatten all classes, redistribute the wealth, and then make everybody the same by making them all dopes, except for like a few that could rule over all of them.

One ring to rule them all.

I like this.

I like this.

This sounds like it's going to work out.

A combination of a bunch of different pop culture, but can we throw a dash of idiocracy in here too?

Because that seems to be

the plan we're going after as well.

This doesn't always work out.

And, you know, look, you've got to think of the bigger things.

But, you know,

here's what is working out.

Now that I've decided all my kids are old enough to like, screw up your own life.

No skin on my nose.

Once I got to that point, it's really refreshing because,

you know, I didn't, because the family didn't want to go, I didn't go to China.

Never going to be able to go.

I didn't go to Red Square.

Never going to be able to go there.

Never been to Chernobyl.

Never been to Chernobyl.

Never been to the pyramids.

I said to the kids,

What are we going to do for Christmas?

We're going to have Christmas around the tree.

Then, I don't know, honey.

I think you and I get on a plane and we go to Israel.

You know, we'll just go to see the holy.

What about us?

I don't know.

You guys are all adults.

I don't know.

What are you going to do?

Mom and I are out.

I mean, it is kind of nice to have that attitude.

The Glenn Bach program.

Now, this may come as a shock to you, but I'm not an expert on everything.

No, yes, true.

And I'm humble enough to say that I am great at most things,

but not all of it.

Some things I'm completely clueless about.

And one of those things is about buying and selling a home.

And even though it is my company, real estate agents I trust, I still don't think I know what I need to know about selling my home.

That's why my company exists.

This company is just,

it's a company, it's a referral service.

That's all it is.

We go into areas where you live and you're buying and selling.

And we find the real estate agents in that area that are the top of the game and know the best practices.

I don't vet them.

I've got a couple of people that vet them, and they are like, we will ask the questions here.

They are tough on these guys to make sure that you get the best service and the best practices to make the buying and selling of your home the best experience.

We welcome Pat Gray from the podcast Pat Gray Unleashed to the program.

Hi, Pat.

How are you?

Oh,

perfect.

Are you really?

Perfect.

That is so great.

Isn't it?

That is so, so great.

You know what I'm excited about?

You know, there was, what was it, 1897, 1887?

What was that TV show that came came out, you know, spin-off from Yellowstone?

1883.

Yeah, 1883.

Yeah.

Now there's 1923.

It's another spin-off.

And it was a very good year.

But

this is the Yellowstone family in

1923.

Okay.

And Harrison Ford is in it.

Television.

Harrison Ford.

It's an amazing thing.

The relationship has changed.

Though I have not seen Harrison Ford in something good in a really long time.

A long time.

And I feel like, you know,

his acting hasn't, I don't think, been at the top of its game for multiple decades.

Maybe since like 1970s.

He had some good stuff.

No, he did.

Even in the 90s.

I like him.

You're getting what you get.

It's like Kevin Costner.

You're getting what he does.

Costner's still at the top of his game when it comes to acting.

Costner.

Costner is fantastic.

That's not.

I mean, I love Harrison Ford.

I have a soft spot for Harrison Ford, but he's not.

He's not at the top of his game, is what you're saying.

It seems to be what you're implying, at least.

That's what I'm implying.

And also saying.

Directly.

Just out coming out, saying it.

Saying it.

Okay.

You don't accept

the legend of the crystal skull if you're at the top of your game.

Man, was that bad?

That's holy cow.

And also a fifth one, right?

Isn't there another one coming?

I think it's six.

No, but I think he's not in it.

Fifth or sixth.

No, he's in it.

Oh, no, he's in it.

Yeah, he's in it.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay, that would be bad.

Yeah.

He's 80

five-year-old Indiana Jones or whatever.

Helen Mirren is also in this.

So, I mean, those are two really

big stars.

Look, I'm sure they wouldn't select.

This is a big project.

I'm sure they wouldn't select him if he couldn't pull it off.

I'm sure he'll do okay.

But and Helen Mirren is obviously.

It's amazing that that's happened.

I think everybody wants to be over.

Everybody wants to be part of a Taylor Sheridan production.

Oh, it is so.

I think he's because he's really brilliant.

Oh, my gosh.

And he's just pumping stuff out like crazy.

You know, the thing with Beth Dutton, you know,

she's English and

she didn't even talk on the set for a while out of her American accent because

she didn't want the crew to go, oh, man.

She's not, how is she going to play this?

And so she just played it as an American, even when she was off screen for a while

because she wanted to see if she could pull it off and everybody, if anybody would ever say.

When she started speaking with an English accent, people are like, Wait, what?

Have you heard her speak?

No, it's unbelievable.

Oh, it's unbelievable.

She doesn't sound anything like Beth Dutton.

And she has this

love-hate relation.

She's like, I love her.

She is fun, but boy, is she

bad.

And you're like, yeah,

yeah, she's bad, but

she plays it so well, so well.

By the way,

the guy who was on Hogan's Heroes, he was Corporal LeBeau.

He died.

He was 96.

96.

And do you know that he was in, he was actually held for, I think, a couple of years maybe in concentration camps.

Yeah.

That's an incredible story because they always say, you know, like, oh, you can't make fun.

You can't make fun.

There are certain things you can't joke about.

The guy was in a concentration camp and did a Nazi comedy.

Look up.

I mean, that is the ultimate.

I know.

Look up.

Slap down.

Wilhelm Kurt.

What was his name?

The Ogan.

The

Colonel Klink.

Yeah, I don't know his real name.

Klemperer.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

William Klemperer.

Look him up.

I think his dad was actually somebody

maybe

on the other side, maybe.

I can't remember, but he has connections to the war that are serious connections.

And he was like, yep, I'm playing that.

I mean, geez.

That's great.

It was fantastic.

Fantastic.

That was only,

when did that come out?

65?

So that was only 20 years.

That'd be like doing a comedy on, I don't know, the World Trade Center collapse.

Can't even imagine it.

Yeah, it's true.

I mean, it is.

There's not a lot of...

I mean, although I guess that's why Pete Davidson is in all of our lives.

Yeah, I guess.

You know, his dad died in the World Trade Center attacks, and then he started joking about 9-11,

which is kind of how he became famous, which is, again, an interesting way to become famous.

But I will say that

that used to be central to...

to pop culture and comedy especially.

Like you made fun of these things.

I mean, you know,

the dictator, right was in the middle of all of it right well the dictator is uh you know who the first celebrity if you can call it that uh that took on hitler was captain america

first first thing in america that took it on because the germans controlled a lot of hollywood um and uh and because it just like china today they were big movie-going people.

And if you couldn't, if you couldn't put distribution into Germans, you know, what did you have?

So nobody wanted to take him on.

Then the three Stooges were second, and Charlie Chaplin, the dictator, was third.

But those were all brave movies at the time.

Yeah.

Still, The Dictator is still one of my favorite movies.

I love that movie.

He is so good in it.

I mean, it really isn't something that used to be embraced.

And I feel like now pretty much isn't.

Like, it's just you're not.

No, we can't say those things.

We can't even say them much.

I mean, what was the comment, the Candace Cameron Bure scandal that's currently going on?

The what?

Candace Cameron.

Candace Cameron Buray.

She left the Hallmark network and she went to

the American Family Thing or whatever.

Greater American Family Island.

Oh, yeah, because aren't they cannibalizing the Hallmark?

I think she was saying basically it was a little too woke over at Hallmark.

So she left.

And she's just getting pounded for it.

Because someone asked her, like, you know, are you guys going to have same-sex relationships in your Hallmark movie?

They're so branded.

I know.

But your cheesy Christmas movies that you're going to make?

And her response was like, look, we're going to be focusing on traditional families.

Like, so she didn't even rule it out.

Like, she just said, like, our focus is going to be traditional.

Oh, I want to make a movie for them.

Let's make a Christmas movie for them.

That would be great.

It would be great.

Oh, yeah.

It would be really good.

I'm an expert of those movies.

I know Pat is.

I am, too.

I watch them all.

I sat, I had such a bad day.

that I found myself turning into my parents.

I came into the house, TV was on, it was on the Hallmark channel.

And I sat there and I watched it.

Yeah.

And I watched the whole damn thing.

And my wife came home and she's like, what are you doing?

And I'm like,

these two should be together.

But he's with the wrong person.

They're too focused on business.

And he came from New York because there was a funeral in town.

And then he stayed.

He was trying to help the family business get back on its feet.

And his high schooler sweetheart was there and he can't decide whether to go back to new york or do i stay now and surprisingly he stayed

and if it wasn't for that town manager everything would be fine

i love all of those i do too yeah but i mean

saying that you're going to focus on traditional uh family structure is why everyone's lighting her up and saying she's a terrible human being.

Now, I don't know of anyone who's going to like out magazine and saying, why aren't you guys focusing more on straights?

You know,

there's no one who does that.

No, right.

You know, it's a niche, right?

There's niche programming.

There's nine zillion channels.

Can we have some that tell different stories?

It's not niche.

It's not niche, but families.

No, families.

That is, that's the niche.

It is not.

Right.

Families.

I mean,

you would think that 80% of the population was gay or

identifying as a deer or whatever.

And you're like, wait, I don't, this doesn't reflect, wait, what?

Right.

But, like, you should be able to, like, black entertainment television.

No one's like, why aren't you guys talking about the white issues in the town?

No one says that to them because we all understand.

No one, you know, goes to, I mean, people go to ESPN all the time and say, hey, talk more about sports.

But no one would say, hey, why aren't you talking about tax policy more?

Like, they cover sports, right?

Like, it's

ABC Disney.

So they're supposed to cover sports.

They're probably saying that.

They're probably saying that.

But I mean, you should be able to have.

She wants to have a creative venture

based on things she thinks are interesting and important.

But you can't now.

You can't.

Nope.

That's not allowed.

If you don't want to do movies that are gay-centered, then you're just a terrible bigot and a horrible person.

So

that's what they're, you know, they're going to bash her the rest of her career now.

So

she doesn't seem to care.

I mean, I don't know.

We really are at a point to where I heard somebody say, you know, it's just just these bigots that are, and I just laughed.

I'm like,

that's all you got?

No impact.

That's it.

Yeah, they've just destroyed it, which, as we said before, that's a problem for real racism.

It is

everything racism when you're like, no, this, I'm telling you, this guy is really racist.

We should not be around this guy.

Who's going to listen?

Who's going to listen?

No, it does.

You become immune.

And I know this because

we've been doing this national radio show for now, I don't know, a thousand years or so.

And at the beginning, I remember like when people would say terrible things about you or they'd say you're a Nazi or a racist or all these things.

You'd be like, oh, what are you talking about?

There's no evidence of this.

And we'd try to disprove it.

Like now?

I mean, they say it 500 times a day.

And I don't even, it doesn't even, I don't even wake up for it.

No.

It's nothing.

They say it all the time.

None of it means anything.

It never has any impact.

Well, you have, you, there has to be a part of you, the individual, that gets over it and doesn't care about it.

And when you're there, life is much, is much better.

Yeah.

Until they introduce ESG and then they can institutionally crush you for their lives.

Sure.

By the way, our thoughts and prayers, and yes, that's meaningful.

Go out to Jay Leno and his wife.

Apparently, one of his cars exploded.

Which they tell me cars can do.

Who knew?

It's pretty rare, though.

Yeah, you don't normally have cars explode.

But you don't, you know, also usually have like 200 really old, you know, like throw another log on the fire on the Stanley steamer.

You know,

you know, a lot can go wrong with those things.

True.

And he really works on them himself.

Like, he's

in the garage.

He gave us a tour of his garage years ago now.

Nice guy.

Super, like, the nicest guy who, like, I just remember remember him with your son, Rafe, when he, you know.

The Bugatti.

Yes, the Bugatti.

The Bugatti story.

Jay Leno Garage Bugatti story with Rafe.

Oh my gosh, it was, my life flashed in front of my eyes.

Yeah.

But he is a super, super nice guy.

And, you know, like, this was his passion.

He's turned it into now a whole thing, right?

The shows that he does about his garage.

What's so weird is Jay Leno's Garage on CNBC.

Never seen.

I've never seen it.

You've never seen it?

No, I've never seen it.

I haven't either.

Really?

I've seen the video.

I watch his videos.

Oh, online.

You do online.

On CNBC.

Yeah, but I think the show is kind of different, isn't it?

Don't they?

Isn't it more produced?

And I just like him standing around the car going, this is what this is.

You're like, wow.

That's the most beautiful, spectacular defibulator I have ever seen.

And I don't even know what a defibulator is.

It's true, but he has a lot of them.

He's got a lot of them.

He's got a lot of them.

And we wish him a speedy recovery.

He is

a remarkable man and not that we are friends.

He has treated me as a friend multiple times.

And

back in the day, I used to appreciate that.

Now I don't really.

You don't like me?

What's on, what's on the Hallmark channel?

Okay, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Love working with companies who not only provide the highest level of service, but who are also on the same page as I I am.

It's becoming increasingly rare.

That's why one of my favorite companies is Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile, boy, these guys have proven themselves time and time and time again.

This is a cell phone company that will not only give you cheaper and a better experience as a cell phone company, but they also stand with you in defense of our American liberties and values.

These guys are on the front line.

They're America's only Christian, conservative, wireless providers.

And I have to tell you, they live it.

They walk the walk.

Don't send your hard-earned money to someplace that either doesn't care or despises the things and are working against the things you believe in.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

A new NBC Bay Area report about the assault on Paul Pelosi last month includes several of the same details in the NBC News retracted national report that suggested Paul Pelosi may not have been in any immediate danger when the police arrived prior to his attack.

NBC News, the national correspondent, reported on November 4th for the Today show that police didn't know they were responding to the Pelosi residents.

Pelosi opened the door for police, but did not attempt to escape or declare an emergency.

He even walked away from law enforcement toward his eventual attacker.

Well, that report was erased from all NBC News platforms later in the day, scrubbed from all social media.

Good thing we have it.

NBC News issued an editor's note on the website saying this piece had been removed from publication because it did not meet NBC's news reporting standards.

However,

now

the local San Francisco NBC reporter has filed a similar story and it has not been retracted and has remained online as of this morning last friday

um after that was a week after they took this down uh at nbc nbc's san francisco local tv affiliate which is branded as nbc bay area aired a report with highly similar details indicating pelosi opened the door for police and didn't try to escape

the anchor told the nbc bay Area viewers, the investigation team looked into why state and federal prosecutors each describe one specific detail of the police differently.

It all has to do with the moments, seconds, really, before Paul Pelosi was struck in the head.

He opened his door with the left hand, according to people who have seen the body cam footage.

Then he slowly

walked

or backed away.

The video clearly shows Paul Pelosi opened the the door with his left hand.

The body cam video shows officers having a brief conversation with Pelosi, and then the fight breaks out.

Let me tell you about American Giant.

American Giant is a company that I found

through a news story.

I don't even remember what it was, but it was just this great company saying, we got to start making things in America again.

And there are faster and easier ways to make clothing than making it here in America.

But I've gotten to know the owner really well, the guy who started it all.

And his whole thing was about

we've got to make things here again.

We're buying things cheaper, sure, but it's cheaper quality, made by workers overseas that aren't even paid a living wage.

Gosh, many of them are literal Chinese slaves.

Why don't we start making things here again?

And so he is challenging all of the

clothing companies to just make a portion of their clothing back here in America.

Levi's, 10%.

It would change the world.

American Giant is making everything from the ink that goes into the dye to the thread, the wool is from here.

Everything is from America and made and assembled here in America.

It's American Giant.

There's an American Giant in all of us.

Help us rebuild the nation.

Chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life.

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

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

It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.

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 side 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 Lou Gehrig'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, visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com or call 1-800-44-Botox to learn more.

Got no room but it can't rise.

We just get together if the girls are night.

Standing straight in the whole night.

It's a new

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

This is the Glenn Back program.

Well, I don't know about you, but I am very excited.

Nancy Pelosi is going to address the house soon, and she is going to

address

her future.

Now, I don't know how far in the future we're talking, but it could be a very short speech

because

I think looking for a good nursing home is probably

right up there in her very near future.

But we'll find out an exciting moment about that.

And

I feel like we lost the Senate twice.

We not only lost it in the election, yesterday there was a vote on Mitch McConnell, and somehow or another, this guy won again.

Mike Lee is here to talk to us about that and so much more in 60 seconds.

If you're living with aches and pains in your life, particularly if you're living with really frequent and bad pain, please consider something for a moment.

I would like you to, I know you've tried everything.

I know you feel like I'm just going to have to live like this.

Try Relief Factor.

This is what my wife said to me, and I said, honey, it's not going to work.

It works on inflammation.

I've been to great clinic.

Nothing stops this.

And she said, try it, try it.

You'll like it.

You'll see.

And I'm like, I do not like green eggs and ham, and this is not going to work.

And then I had to eat my words.

And it has worked miracles for me.

70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month.

That's saying an awful lot.

The three-week quick start for Relief Factor, $19.95, a trial pack.

Try it for three weeks.

ReliefFactor.com.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

Relief Factor.

Feel the difference.

Oh, Mitt Romney's favorite senator,

Mike Lee.

Hello, Mike.

Hello, good to be with you, Glenn.

Yeah.

Can you tell me what happened yesterday?

Well,

a lot happens in the United States Senate.

If you're talking about yesterday, if you're talking about the vote on the closure on the motion to proceed to the Respective Marriage Act, the Respect for Marriage Act, I can tell you what happened there.

Can you tell me?

I know it's a secret meeting.

Can you tell me what happened with the because I want to get into that?

Can you tell me what happened with the Harry Reid winning again?

How?

Not Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell.

Mitch McConnell.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, so yesterday we had our leadership elections in the Senate, among the Senate Republicans.

We gathered together.

we debated for several hours, and

Mitch McConnell was re-elected as the minority leader among Senate Republicans.

He's been the leader now for 16 years, and he was re-elected yesterday.

We had a lengthy discussion about that, and some of us took a different approach.

But at the end of the day,

that was the vote that was cast, and that's the vote that we'll carry.

What do we have to do, Mike, to get people?

I mean, there's a fight in the Republican Party of this, you know, I guess 1956 kind of,

you know, view of how things have to be done and what the government means, very progressive

and, you know, just very docile.

And then there's a new group of people who are like, look.

I mean, you know, I don't want to go back to the 1800s or the 1700s, but, you know, we got a little thing here that we used to call the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and we need to restore that because this isn't a constitutional republic anymore.

How do we get the GOP out of the way of those people, or

is it too late for that?

Well, look, first of all,

the decision about whom to elect as poor leader doesn't preclude necessarily our taking any particular action.

As I've long said,

the leadership of the Republican Conference tends in one way or another to reflect where the center of gravity is among Senate Republicans.

But there's something new happening.

We've got more Republican senators today than we ever have before who believe, who understand

at their core, that there's something fundamentally wrong, that we're spending way too much money.

on the federal government and that we've got to turn it around.

And so we're moving forward now with a new core group of leaders who are pushing harder than ever because we don't have time to waste.

We're $31 trillion in debt.

We've got a federal government that requires people to work months out of every year just to pay their federal taxes and then months more out of every year just to pay the backdoor hidden expenses associated with federal regulations.

The American people are demanding that we fight back harder.

And you're going to see that.

I hope so, Mike.

I really, I think you guys have, I think the GOP has one more shot, and it's it's in the next two years.

And if you're not doing something, I don't know what's going to happen.

I just don't know what's going to happen, but people are tired of it.

So, Mike, tell me about this Defense of Marriage Act.

This seems like an extraordinarily bad idea.

Yeah, so the Respect for Marriage Act is something that purports to be a codification of the Supreme Court's ruling in 2015 of Bergefeld versus Hodges, recognizing gay marriage.

Okay, hang on just a second.

That's because they put this in because I think of Clarence Thomas in his dissent, he kind of hinted that he would be willing to look at this again.

No one joined him in that opinion.

Yeah, I know that, but that's the excuse they're using that

they want to seal this for all time.

Right, right.

And a couple of things to keep in mind.

You're referring to Justice Thomas's concurring opinion.

in the Dobbs decision a few months ago, which dealt with abortion, not marriage.

He was referring to a line of precedent, just said, you know, there are a number of lines of precedent that have evolved under the substantive due process standard in time.

Perhaps they should be reviewed to figure out whether there's a better place for them or whether they withstand appropriate review.

He was joined by no other justice in that.

And

he also didn't go through what are called the story decisis factors.

The story decisis analysis would determine whether the Supreme Court continues to defer to that case.

Look,

gay marriage isn't going away.

It's not.

The Supreme Court's not undoing that.

I can tell you as a former pellet and Supreme Court litigator,

there's just not a chance in hell of the Supreme Court's walking away from that.

And gay marriages that have been legal now for seven years aren't going away.

So that begs the question, what's the real purpose for this?

Well, when I looked at the bill and I looked at the way the bill is written and what it says, and just as importantly, what it doesn't say, and how it would interact with other protections of federal law, federal civil rights legislation, as well as Supreme Court precedent interpreting those laws.

I saw a real risk of retaliation by the federal government against religious institutions.

They never retaliated.

Schools, charitable organizations, adoption agencies with a religious mission, purpose, and funder.

that could lose their tax-exempt status, could lose access to participating in federal

lose federal status or federal benefits of one sort or another, unless we put a protection in there

depriving the government of that power.

So I wrote an amendment to do that.

I even offered to vote for the bill as a whole, if necessary, to get this amendment through there.

The sponsors wouldn't do it.

They refused to do that.

So that should tell you everything.

Why would they refuse to do that?

Why would they refuse to put in a protection saying you can't take away the tax exempt status of a school or a daycare or an adoption agency or whatever it is with a religious mission on the basis of a religious belief about marriage?

Why would they not do that?

It got more devious from Derek Glenn.

They adopted some amendment texts just in the last few days before bringing this to the floor and claimed that their text would do essentially the same thing as my amendment.

Only here's the problem.

It wouldn't.

It pays lip service to that, but it doesn't do the job.

So

they got 12 Republicans to join with all 50 Democrats, and they survived the first threshold vote.

Now, the good news here, Glenn, is that we've still got at least two more 60-vote

threshold votes to cast on this bill.

There's still time for us to convince a handful of those Republican senators who joined with Democrats that they shouldn't be voting for this unless you actually tie the government's hands in the way that I've proposed.

And I'm hoping they can see the light between now and whenever this thing is put to bed.

Can I ask you a question?

And

I don't mean to put you in a difficult situation, but

this is sometimes described as a Mitt Romney bill.

If you Google this bill and you just add

Mormon,

what was it, Mormon marriage bill, this is what comes up.

Where did this bill start?

Yeah, so it started in the House of Representatives.

It started by a handful of House Democrats back in July.

The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, I assume this is what you're referring to,

chimed in and supported the recent religious freedom amendment put in place by Senators Tillis,

Collins, and Baldwin, I believe it was, and said that it was a material improvement with that language.

Now, look, to be sure,

the text of the bill was marginally better than it would have been without that language, but I emphasize the word marginally there.

It still doesn't solve the problem.

This bill, if it becomes law, will create a new risk, a new considerable, substantial risk.

And that risk is not taken away.

It's not adequately dealt with by this language.

We need language that actually does what they claim this one does in private settings.

They're going around touting this is solving the problem, and it doesn't solve the problem, which should give people added reason to be very suspicious of this legislation.

On the same topic,

I'm about to start a campaign to draft your attorney general to run for Mitt Romney's seat.

Because I think he would win in a landslide.

And based on your numbers, I think a guy with his record

could win.

Now, I know you wouldn't, because you have friends on both sides.

So

you wouldn't endorse anything like that.

So

I'm saying

would you say.

I do.

I do indeed have

friends with both of them.

That is an actor.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you don't want to, you don't, what do you think of that idea of me just

not connected to you?

Yeah, so it's an idea that has been out there, an idea that, and I don't want to take away anything from your thunder here, Glenn.

Yeah, no, no, no.

I'm glad to hear somebody else is thinking that way.

How can I help them?

Maybe.

No, that's an idea that's been floated.

I don't know.

I don't know what will happen.

2024 seems like a long way from here.

I know it'll be around in just a minute.

But speaking of marriage and respect for marriage, I am worried about one thing, Glenn.

In your Relief Factor plug just a moment ago, you did an imitation of your wife that did not sound at all like your wife.

Oh, you are sadly mistaken.

You don't know her, Mike.

You don't know her.

Help me.

Help me.

I'm being held hostage.

Perhaps in that moment, something happens to her vocal cords.

Yeah, no, it's she's cheats out like this all the time.

Seems like

you're both trying to get each other in trouble, right?

I know.

You know, we could talk about Mitsimore.

So, one last thing.

You were on our special that aired last night,

the targets of tyranny.

You leaned over to me at one point and said, This is the most frightening thing I think I've ever seen.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Look, the group of people, the group of victims of government overreach that you assembled for that show.

And for any of your listeners out there who haven't yet seen it, I strongly encourage them to do it.

It's the best thing I've seen, the best encapsulation within

a short period of time.

of why you should be skeptical of government, of why you should be especially concerned about the federal government right now.

We saw instance after instance of good, solid, law-abiding American citizens whose rights are being threatened, intimidated, harassed, cajoled, or otherwise beaten out of them.

And we really do have to take up this issue.

It's all the more reason why when you vote for someone for federal elected office, you need to ask them very specific questions about what they will do to dismantle the

colossus, brooding omnipresence that the federal government has become.

We've got to take this in hand.

And, you know, these are some of the things that

prompted this leadership election yesterday.

We had a good discussion, even though it didn't turn out the way that many had hoped.

And

I was a supporter of delaying the election,

and I supported Senator Rick Scott.

But the election happened, and we all now have to rally

behind our leader who was elected.

But in that conversation, we had some very good discussions.

This is the first time in the 12 years I've been in the Senate since there's even been a discussion like that, since anyone has stood up.

And this is one of the reasons, Glenn, the reasons that we discussed on your show that just aired last night.

This was a fantastic display.

And I encourage every one of your radio listeners and your podcast listeners to go and watch that program tonight.

It'll scare you.

And just the same, it'll give you the tools that you need in order to know how to respond when something like this happens to you.

The most amazing piece of advice that we got to the end with the

question and answers from the audience, most stunning advice coming from you, at least, I felt.

You were like, absolutely.

Police come.

You don't know.

You don't talk to them.

You have a right to remain silent.

Exercise it.

And the second thing was,

you should have the number of a good defense attorney.

I don't even know.

I mean, I guess I'm friends with Alan Dershowitz, but I don't know if he'd take my case.

I am kind of a shady character,

but I don't even know.

That's true.

It's weird.

With the Reich retainer agreement, Glenn,

he'll take it.

All right.

Mike Lee, thank you so much.

And congratulations again on your astounding win.

Mike Lee, the great senator from the state of Utah.

Going over old photo and video memories with your family is almost as good of a time as making the memories in the first place.

This is one thing I am going to do.

We have had these pictures sitting in boxes ready to ship out.

All we have to do is just separate them and put them in.

I'm doing it next week.

Thanksgiving week is a good time.

And yes, kids, you will be doing it.

And you'll have a good time.

And we'll drink hot chocolate while we're doing it after you get the tree up and it's all lit and we're happy doing it.

We understand.

We will make family members.

And you will like it.

And I'm going to take pictures.

So we'll remember how happy we were.

And then next year I'm putting those pictures in the box.

Anyway,

relive your most important memories.

You know,

those times when you thought your family was on fire, but it really wasn't.

It's more like on fire now.

Anyway, take advantage of early access to Legacy Box best sale of the year, legacybox.com slash back.

It's their Black Friday sale.

It's going on right now.

They'll produce, they'll preserve and return all of your memories.

So if you have it on film or slides or honestly, I have it on tape that I don't even know what.

I have no idea what that was even filmed on.

Don't recognize that kind of tape at all anymore.

They know it, and they can transfer it and return all of the originals and digital copies.

Now, it's really important.

Your family will have fun.

10 seconds, station ID.

So, do you remember, Stu, when I said,

hey, you members of the press that you think you're so woke, you're not going to be woke enough in the end.

Oh, they'll come and take you out, too.

You're never woke enough.

Yeah, right?

Ex-MSNBC host Tiffany Cross learned that she was getting pushed out days ahead of her exit and threatened to, quote, go out in a blaze.

Hey, don't misuse that word.

And take down the cable TV network and its boss, Rashida Jones.

The controversial anchor whose weekend show, The Cross Connection, which I would like to point out, no one watched, was abruptly canceled earlier this month as MSNBC elected not to renew her contract.

She made calls saying, I'm going to go out in a blaze of glory and I'm taking down the network and I'm going after Rashida.

MSNBC execs and Jones, the network's president, did not get wind of the phone calls until Cross was let go.

So the employees there are so loyal that none of them called the boss and said, hey, she might try to hurt the network.

They're all like, you go, girl.

Ah.

So

that's good.

It's not the Rashida Jones, the actress, by the way.

Because that was what I was looking up while you were saying that.

I'm like, does the lady from the office, is she running MSNBC right now?

And no,

that's not her.

It's not her.

it might have been might have i honestly i would be she'd probably be better at it yeah yeah by the way uh i will say the rashita jones that uh to your point here the rashida jones that does run msnbc you may guess uh and may know already that she is african-american uh so i don't know if she is racist against african americans probably uh i don't know what her why she would do that yeah probably But that is, you're right.

It doesn't matter if you, if you have someone who is, I'm still gonna go on a limb here and guess that Rashida Jones not a conservative

If you hire someone who is already ultra woke who crosses off all of your every single you know intersectional check mark that you need Still not gonna be enough.

No, it's not going to be enough They will still keep coming when they will still say you're not woke enough.

When will they learn?

When do the gods of the copybook headings return?

And they go, oh,

oh crap, that was a mistake.

I see why conventional wisdom said we shouldn't do that.

There was a reason that has kind of been around for 5,000 years.

We should start applying those principles again.

How long, how far does everyone have to go down before we can pick ourselves back up and start building a brighter future?

The morning email from me, it is my show prep.

And in tomorrow's, you will also get the transcript of that last hour, so you have all the facts in their exact words.

Amy Nelson is somebody who has experienced the collusion between big government and big business pretty much like no one else that I know.

Amazon

made claims that her husband did something illegal, although they were never told what that charge was supposed to be.

They met with the Department of Justice over and over and over again and tried to convince the Department of Justice to charge him with a crime.

They never did.

Yet, the Justice Department came in and took every penny they had, took their bank accounts,

went as far as I think taking his father or his father-in-law's bank account, took all of her bank accounts that were just in her name.

The family was left penniless.

They decided to fight.

It's not over yet.

Believe it or not, this began while COVID was was happening.

And it could happen to anyone.

So, you know,

all these victims, they're not necessarily, you know,

MAGA people or even Republicans.

Amy, who I find delightful, was a bundler for Barack Obama.

So there wasn't a political reason.

There was a reason.

And the reason is Amazon was trying to avoid a $100 million

judgment or penalty against them on something else.

So they cooked the books and tried to make, at least that's what it appears to be, that they cooked the books and tried to make Amy's husband the scapegoat.

Why spend 100 million when you could destroy this one guy for maybe 10 and you save $90 million?

Amy Nelson, do I have the story kind of accurate in a summary, Amy?

You really do.

It's pretty remarkable, Glenn, because it's a long story and can be complicated.

So I so appreciate you coming on the program.

And I appreciate the fact that you and your husband, with four children, you had to sell anything that you were left with.

You had to sell the house because you couldn't make the mortgage payments.

You didn't even know how you were going to feed your family, but you moved in with relatives, right?

We did.

I mean,

we early on...

Look, I think, you know, when my husband was accused of a crime, it was totally shocking to us.

We had no idea where this was coming from.

And we also, you know, I'm a lawyer, but I had been a civil lawyer.

I didn't really know a lot about criminal law.

And so we just were in this position where we were trying to learn as we went.

And we were just making decision after decision to try to stay alive and be able to fight.

I didn't even know civil forfeiture was a thing in America, to be honest.

I didn't know that.

Maybe you shouldn't have been bundling for Obama because we talked about it on my show.

Maybe I should have been listening to you.

Maybe.

I'm just saying.

I'm just saying.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

It is.

It is like, you know, it is like, it's definitely, I think this has really

been my own politics and hard.

Yeah, it's been an awakening.

And it's, and for me, really, I look at it and kind of the incentive.

Like, why would these prosecutors help Amazon?

And I think the answer isn't that complicated.

I think most prosecutors leave.

leave the federal, leave the Department of Justice and they go work in private practice.

And who's going to hire them?

Me or Amazon?

Amazon is.

Right.

So, you know, I I think like the revolving door in Washington is really what I've been thinking a lot about.

I have not, I didn't know the numbers.

The numbers you threw out last night on the special are pretty staggering about the number of FBI prosecutors

and DOJ officials that are being hired by Amazon.

Why would they need all of those people?

But I think

because of your experience, we know why they are.

Well, I think part of it is, I mean, you know, I think they want to have a close relationship to the Department of Justice because the intelligence community is Amazon Web Service's biggest client, right?

So the more of a relationship they have, you know, the more likely they're to continue making a profit from selling products to the government.

But I also think, you know, and this is just my opinion, but if you have a Department of Justice that is focused on antitrust and thinking about breaking Amazon up, antitrust falls within the Department of Justice.

So if you're like, no, no, we're your friends.

You like us.

we're your colleagues, that's a better look than having the Department of Justice come at you for antitrust.

Right.

Um, so did you get your money back yet?

We did, actually.

So, we got our money back in February of 2022.

So, just as the government held our money for 20 months, so for 20 months, we had to figure out how to do it.

And hang on just a second, closed your bank accounts, closed your credit card so you couldn't use your credit cards,

took your your uh money out of your accounts.

I mean, it was all of it.

You had no way to buy anything, correct?

I mean, we didn't, other than the fact that we were both still working, so after they, you know, they took everything on a certain date, and then we kept working.

I will say, both Carl and I lost work because of this, because of the very sensational public allegations.

Sure, it was hard for me, right?

Because I'm not accused of anything, right?

Um, and it's not fair that it impacted my husband either, but that's a lose friends.

We did.

And that was really hard, too.

I mean,

I remember once I accidentally got a text from a woman talking about me that wasn't meant for me.

And it was someone I thought was a business colleague and a friend.

But, you know, I did lose friends and Carl lost friends, but we also figured out who our friends were.

Yeah.

There's nothing good about going through something like this, but we have been surrounded by so much love and, you know, we have faith.

And so that's really helped get us through this.

So you said that you've the effects, and not just in your story, but take us down the road of this collusion between the government and Amazon.

Yeah, so, you know, I,

in my own kind of deep search for like, how the hell did this happen, I was figuring out, you know, kind of looking into the relationship between Amazon and the Department of Justice.

And I was the one, like, I just figured out by going on LinkedIn how many people they were hiring from the Department of Justice.

But then I was started looking around on the Department of Justice website and was able to piece together that over a two-year period, Amazon had referred over 36 criminal investigations to the Department of Justice.

And I thought, is that normal?

And I went around and looked, and with Walmart, you know, one of the other largest companies in America, it was two.

Wow.

And that's just stunning to me.

Wow.

And they also have, I remember in 2008,

I had a call from a guy who was in Amazon

and he was overseeing some of their

server sites.

And if I'm not mistaken, he had something to do with security.

And he said, he called me up off the air and he said, Glenn, whatever our federal government is doing with Amazon, this is not going to work out well.

And I said, what are you talking about?

And he said, there's a 10-foot trench just outside of our fences that's 10 feet down, goes all the way around our fences of our servers.

They're putting in all kinds of monitoring to make sure that nobody penetrates that.

He said, we're starting to partner with the government on information.

This can't be good.

I mean, I don't see how you can't think that they are partnering at this point, right?

I mean, you have, you know

the FBI and the CIA and the NSA, they hire Amazon Web Services to hold the government's secrets in their data warehouses.

And it just seems like something the government should be doing on their own, not relying on a private company, particularly one that, you know, is owned by a billionaire who owns a media company.

Yeah.

You know, like it's weird.

Yeah.

And isn't the NSA, former NSA director on their board or?

Yes.

Yes.

The former head of the National Security Agency is on the corporate board of Amazon.com, as is a lawyer named Jamie Gorelic, who worked for a private law firm, but who previously was the deputy attorney general for the United States, and she mentored Merritt Garland.

It's all just too close for comfort for me personally.

I mean, honestly,

and I don't mean to, I'm not joking about this.

I mean this sincerely.

Liberals were right about one thing and conservatives were wrong.

You should worry about these giant giant corporations.

I always thought that was crazy because who would want to say, oh, you know, who's out there building a business?

I want the government more involved in my business.

I never thought that would happen.

But, you know, the liberals were absolutely right.

I just don't know why they don't see it now.

It is.

It is something I think about all the time, Glenn, in that, you know, you made a good point on your show the other night talking about

putting someone in prison, see, bannon in prison for defying Congress when no one's done that in 60 years?

And I see on the progressive side people being gleeful about it.

But what I want to say to

progressives is, you know, this can set a precedent.

And so when it's a Republican in charge, they can do the same thing and you won't be very gleeful about it.

We shouldn't look at our constitutional rights as partisan things.

We should hold them dear for all of us, regardless of our politics.

And I think we've lost that.

I don't know how and I don't know why.

I do.

You should listen to me some more.

I will.

I have been.

I have been.

I'm going to say that now.

So

Amy, what is the biggest thing you learned out of this that you feel you should pass on to other people?

What should they know?

And the thing I want to pass on to other people is that, you know, if you are accused of something that you didn't do, particularly by people who seem to have more power and more money, a lot of people will tell you to be quiet.

But I think that's wrong.

I think the only way to hold power accountable is to speak out.

And I think you're safer when you do speak out too.

And so I would encourage people, if they are being deprived of their rights, if they are being accused of something they didn't do, to try to talk about it, to try to get people to listen, because that's the only way I think to protect yourself and to drive change and to make sure it can't happen to other people.

Because if Amazon can do this, it's a playbook for every corporation in America.

Oh, yeah.

And that is terrifying.

Amy,

were you concerned at all about retaliation for being on the show or continuing to speak out on this?

You know,

I am, but I also will say, Glenn, that, you know, Jeff Bezos is out there publicly saying he hires like Gavin DeBecker, who's a former, I think,

spook, really, you know, for his personal security.

Hang on, hang on.

I've had Gavin DeBecker as my

personal security for a while.

They're not anymore, but yeah, I know, I know, I know.

You know, it's terrifying, but I do feel safer speaking out publicly.

You know, just I actually found out last night because I use social media a lot and Andy Jassy, who's the CEO of Amazon, we have a number of friends in common.

I mean, I personally know Amazon's general counsel, David Spolsky, which has made all of this more painful for me.

However, I did find out last night that Andy Jassy blocked me on Facebook.

I'm just his mom in Ohio and the CEO of Amazon, a trillion-dollar company, personally blocking me on Facebook.

That's fantastic.

Amy, thank you so much.

You go back to court, I think, in January, right?

Or is it so?

Carl's trial, my husband's civil trial with Amazon, is in May.

May, okay.

I'm very much looking forward to getting this over with.

I bet.

And we can't wait to talk to you and celebrate with you when you win.

Thank you so much, Amy.

Thank you so much.

God bless.

Thanks.

Amy Nelson.

You find her as one of just one of the four that are speaking out.

Another guy who was really the star last night

got a standing ovation when he started talking.

It was amazing.

A dad who lost his two sons because his wife said, no, this son is actually a daughter.

And the court sided with him and now they're in California.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome back to the program.

I'm just looking at this great story from the New York Times.

During a closed-door session session with lawmakers last December, Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, was asked whether the Bureau had ever purchased and used Pegasus, which is a hacking tool that goes into your mobile phones and takes everything without you knowing it.

Okay.

What could be the problem with that?

Right.

Mr.

Ray acknowledged the FBI had bought a license for Pegasus, but only for research and development.

Oh, good.

You know, they're figuring out how bad guys could use it.

Uh-huh.

Well, now we have some internal documents, and it shows that, no, no, no, they were looking at the first half of 2021 to deploy the hacking tools.

And

we're not sure if they did or not, but we know they have it.

It looks like they were lying to Congress, but don't worry.

Do not worry.

Nobody's going to go to jail for that.

The hacking tool, they now say

since the story was published, FBI officials, including Mr.

Wray, have gone further than they did during the closed meeting with senators last December.

They acknowledged that the Bureau did consider deploying Pegasus, although they said, no, but we didn't do it.

We didn't do it.

Unfortunately, there's more documents where everybody had tested it and went, we should use this.

It's great.

The Glenn Back Program.

Well, we're sitting here with renowned prepper Steve Stevenson,

and he's got some advice for us on prepping.

What are the things we don't think of, Steve?

Many people will

prepare peppers

and popcorn,

but not

prepare puppies

or pinochle.

And I make sure to do both of those.

Well, that's some sound advice there.

Thank you so much for that.

Now, if you haven't gotten to the puppies yet, it's probably because you haven't gotten to the actual food part.

You need to make sure that you are prepared for any eventuality.

I'm just looking at a story here about how Germany is preparing emergency cash for

It's a whole new day, I'm taking

what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbach program.

Hey, this is a happy story.

Germany is now preparing for emergency cash deliveries, bank runs, and, quote,

aggressive discontent.

Aggressive discontent.

You never want that to be on the reservoir.

It's a riot.

Ahead of winter power cuts.

While Europe has been generally keeping an optimistic facade ahead of the cold winter, signaling it has had more than enough of gas in storage to make up for the loss of Russian supply, even in a coldest case scenario, behind the scenes, they are preparing.

Reuters report, citing four sources, that German authorities have stepped up the preparation for emergency cash deliveries in case of a blackout or rather blackouts to keep the economy running as the nation braces for possible power cuts arising from the war in Ukraine.

Plans include Bundesbank hoarding extra billions to cope with a surge in demand.

It is as well possible that they are going to put limits on withdrawals.

If you think crypto

investors are angry when they can't access their digital tokens in a bankrupt exchange, just wait until you see a German whose cash has just been locked out.

Oh,

that's

well, you know, look, if there happens to be a meltdown of the German economy,

what could possibly go wrong?

What consequences could come of something like a meltdown of the currency in Germany?

Is there anything

I can't think of?

No, I think we're safe.

I think

nothing to see here.

Just aggressive discontent, maybe a little bit of that.

Do you remember the old phrase, garbage in, garbage out?

Used to be what we would tell our kids about the stuff they put into their head, usually when they were watching television.

Now I welcome them to just watch television.

I wish that was the only place they got garbage.

No, no, no, no.

Garbage is not just coming from TV now.

It's in their hand all the time.

It's in our schools.

And you're getting garbage.

They're not teaching history.

Well, if you want to just keep serving your kids up a big old fat plate of

leftist garbage, keep doing it.

Otherwise, if you want your kids to be well-informed, have a brain, know the truth, know how to reason,

well then check out the Tuttle Twins, Tuttle Twins Books.

Alrighty.

We had a special last night,

and it was about the targets of tyranny.

And there's a lot of them now.

You know, up to 84-year-olds that are being arrested and manhandled by the FBI in an overnight raid because they were praying in front of an abortion clinic.

This is happening everywhere.

You know that the FBI has targeted parents who are speaking up in front of their school board.

Well,

have you thought of what happens if my kids are taught at home things that they disagree with in school?

What happens if my kids start to buy into this crap and I'm not supportive of it?

Could I leave, could I lose my kids?

This was one of the subjects last night.

We had four different people, the couples, usually

this guy is a father of two.

His name is Jeff Younger, and he lost custody of his twins because he would not transition his son.

And he had pretty compelling evidence that his son didn't want anything to do with it.

He was so incredible standing up for his son.

He's working three jobs now just to be able to pay the bills and all the legal bills.

His son is in California.

His ex-wife moved him there.

And that way, you know, the state of California is protecting.

Can't bring the son out if he wants to transition.

He says he doesn't.

Jeff Younger is joining us now.

Hello, Jeff.

Hi, Glenn.

How are you?

I'm better than you are.

I think.

Well, no, I don't think so.

You stood up on the special last night and

you said, I said,

you know, how are you doing this?

And you're like,

I don't care.

I'm doing whatever I can.

I'm working three jobs because I'm trying to save my children.

You have been

a juggernaut in standing up, and it has got to have cost you friends and and an untold amount of money

jobs clients um you know uh political relationships you name it so but you know it's your son i mean this is the thing it's this is not i have a big thing glenn i don't like to make a virtue out of necessity you know this is my son and this is my duty to my son and it's what any father would owe their son any father owes their son what i'm doing so give me the highlights again for anybody who didn't see the special.

We did a produced, you know, package with video of your son and everything else.

It was amazing.

Where your son was how old?

Three, four, when

she started trying to transition him at two while we were still married.

Um, at

three, he was telling me that his mother was teaching him that he was actually a girl.

And if you go on YouTube and just search for mommy says I'm a girl, you'll find that video.

It's on you know, hundreds and hundreds of channels.

Um,

I, it, That began

obviously a whole bunch of litigation.

The psychologists that the courts have appointed have systematically lied to the courts.

For example, during the divorce, the psychologist told the courts that she was not tampering with my son's gender identity and was not trying to transition him to a girl.

and said that I had made a false accusation against her and they gave me less than standard possession because of that.

They have just systematically lied.

And the courts have tried every which way to transition my son.

And I think what's going on is my son doesn't present as a girl with anyone except his mother.

With me and everyone else, he's just a normal boy.

And that's true at school, right?

He's told his teachers, he's told the courts, I don't want to be a girl.

I'm a boy.

Yeah, he told the court-appointed counselor four times, and she didn't react to him.

And when he recorded himself on his Apple Watch telling her that he doesn't want to be a boy and is embarrassed to wear wear dresses to school, she actually threw him out of her office and initiated a CPS investigation against me, the eighth CPS investigation these people have, you know, have sent my way.

Absolute power.

Yeah, absolute power.

And, you know, all that costs money.

It all costs time.

It costs a lot of stress.

It puts my children through all kinds of stress.

And the courts just don't care.

I think the less calculation is that if you can get a boy who doesn't present consistently, like he only presents as a a girl with his mom, if you can get that boy, you can get any boy.

And I think that's why the left has coalesced around this case as the spearhead case.

Yeah, I know that, you know, when this first started, we talked about it on the show because you're from Texas, and you'd think any, you know, you would think Texas would be pretty strong on this, but it's not.

And you never know when it comes to cases of divorce.

But I will tell you, the video that we showed last night and your story, it is very compelling.

Very, very compelling.

Your other son

doesn't address your son as a girl, won't use the girl's name, right?

Yeah.

You know, he asked me at one point, we had actually been out hunting rabbits, and we were just piled into the shower so we could clean up and go eat

supper.

And he just pointed down at James's private parts and said, why do they keep calling him a girl?

And at that time, I was actually enjoined by the courts from telling either one of them that James was a boy or a girl.

So I said, well, I read you from the book of Genesis to the creation of man and woman every night before you go to bed.

So what do you think?

He said, well, that's a boy.

So Jude's problem is that he knows he's being told to lie about his brother.

And I think it's really harmed his moral development and his moral education because he's asked me time and time again, you know, I'm not supposed to violate the Ten Commandments, but they're telling me to lie.

So when is it okay to violate God's law?

He's actually asked me that.

So what happens in California now?

Because you're not allowed any time, right, with kids?

Yeah, I'm not allowed any time.

In order to visit my children, I have to travel to California to an undisclosed location, and then I have to pay for visitation in California.

So it's going to cost thousands of dollars to see my sons for just an hour.

hour.

To write them a letter, I have to send that letter to the Amicus attorney that's appointed in the case, and he will forward my letter on, and it's going to cost me about $100 per letter

that I send to my son.

So

their goal here is to terminate my parental rights without terminating them.

In Texas, only a jury can terminate parental rights.

And what they want is to take away all my rights, but keep me paying child support and not terminate my rights.

Because if this went in front of a jury, they would lose.

So this is what the judge has basically done.

She's obviously talked to judges in California and arranged to move this case over there.

Now, California has a bill called Senate Bill 701.

And the four days after that bill passed, my judge, Mary Brown in the 301st District Court in Dallas County, allowed my ex to move to California after that bill passed.

And that bill requires California to take emergency jurisdiction over my son.

They will never return him to Texas.

They will not even obey subpoenas from Texas courts and give any information about James.

So I'm going to have to go into federal court and challenge that on the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution.

And we'll probably wind up at the Supreme Court over that.

Jeez.

This is what it takes to be a father today in these family courts.

This is, I mean, this should chill people to the bone.

Because if it can happen to you, it can happen to any of us.

This is just, this is setting the groundwork and the precedent for, yeah, it can be done.

Absolutely.

James is a spearhead case.

And the fact that he only presents as a girl with his mom, like it's very limited.

It's very clear that he's being coerced.

But they've reasoned that if they can get this boy, they can get any kid they want.

So

what do you,

what advice do you have, Jeff, for other parents?

Do not voluntarily waive your rights in court.

Always assert your rights.

Don't let the courts take away your ability to participate in the political process.

That's the first thing they always try to do.

They'll try to get you to waive your rights to petition the government for redress of grievances, to waive your rights to speak to the legislature and try to get laws passed, and to waive your rights to cooperate with your fellow citizens to change the laws and social customs.

So you have to assert those rights, and you're going to pay a price for it.

So I would suggest that people start learning, particularly on our side we have to really think about this you have to be cancel proof

if you're if you're on with one of us you're gonna have to be cancel proof how's that how do you have multiple I have multiple streams of income and if one of them gets canceled I just go pick up another you know it's it's my my father was the dumbest person I knew when I was 20 and by the time I was 30 I couldn't believe how smart he'd be yeah I know that happens my my father told me this when I was a young man he said listen if you run if you're running your own business, even if it's a small business, and you have 100 customers and you lose one, you just go get another one.

But if you're an employee, you have one customer, and if you lose that customer, you have no income.

So you need to make yourself with multiple streams of income so that you're cancel-proof.

People can't get rid of you.

And that way you're free to speak up, and you're not afraid.

It's something we don't talk enough about on our side, I think.

That's one of the reasons that I can't speak up.

Well, I have done this.

I've made myself cancel-proof.

But you can't speak up because you actually, you're violating a court order just being on the program today.

And, of course, what you did on TV with me last night.

You could go to jail for this conversation, but you're actually kind of hoping that that's the case, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

I mean, I've said a lot of times, like, there's a lot of things worse than going to jail.

Going to hell is one of them.

And I want to go to jail because I want to challenge the constitutionality of these illegal gag orders.

And by creating a precedent in the Fifth District Court, they won't be able to do that in Dallas County anymore to anyone.

I could end it for everyone if they will only send me to jail.

That's why they won't send me to jail.

So telling them to send me to jail, but they won't do it.

So, but they did issue a gag order, and

it was pretty significant, right?

I mean, who can you talk to, or who did they bar you from talking to?

Everyone.

I'm barred from doing any newspaper interviews, video video interviews, podcast interviews, radio interviews.

I'm barred, permanent lifetime banned from writing any newspaper article, writing a blog post, writing a social media post, authoring a podcast, doing any kind of video work.

I can't do that myself.

I'm banned from talking about political topics.

Here they are.

cisgender, transgender, gender expansiveness, or whether my sons are boys or girls.

I can't talk about any of those topics.

And that was specifically tailored to prevent me from going to Austin, Texas, and speaking to the legislature.

I was an invited speaker by the Senate and by the House.

And they did not want me to go and speak there on behalf of a law to make this child abuse in Texas.

And so

that gag order was specifically designed to silence my political speech in talking to my legislators.

And I just refused to follow it.

So you spoke there.

I spoke there.

Yeah, multiple times.

I'll be down there again this session.

I'm actually getting an appointment in Austin so I can be there full time.

It's amazing that a judge would issue something that she knows has no teeth.

No teeth.

Otherwise, she would be enforcing it.

Boy,

if you don't get the lesson, your local judges, we should probably learn who those guys are before the vote.

I mean, this is really important.

This is really important.

And I'll tell you some of the challenges here.

One

is that judges usually won't tell you what their judicial philosophy is during campaigns.

And they hide behind the judicial canon saying they can't talk about particular cases.

Well, we're not asking about particular cases.

We're asking about

philosophy of law and your philosophy towards litigants.

They won't answer those questions.

That's number one.

Number two, I don't think a lot of people know that, you know, this is America.

We don't have secret courts.

Anybody can go watch a trial.

And once a quarter, I always watch a federal criminal trial, a state criminal trial.

I visit family court all the time myself, but also go to my local civil courts and look at one civil trial.

And I do that every quarter just to see if my judges are administering justice to my citizens properly.

Boy, I tell you, they picked on the wrong guy.

Jeff, thank you so much.

We will continue to follow your story.

You get any blowback at all for being on the program or what you did, please let us know immediately and we'll have you on again to talk about it.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate all your hard work for Freedom.

Thank you.

God bless.

I don't know about you, but

every time you seem like you're just about to get ahead, something happens, like Trump loses and then everything falls apart.

I feel like that?

You just like you never quite make it.

Everybody else, it seems, at least those in the banks and everything else, they just make money no matter what happens.

We can close the economy yet.

Home Depot's doing great.

Pfizer, great.

So sick of it.

Now we're looking for, you know, quarters in the couch to be able to pay for gas.

You're looking for anything to help you pay the bills.

You know, eggs are up.

I don't need to tell you this.

Eggs are up 40%

year over year.

40%

from the high inflation last year.

Right now, if you call American Financing, they may be able to help you on credit cards and your home loan.

The people that are doing business now with American financing are saving about, on average, $695 a month.

About $700.

Man, that would go a long way.

You could maybe even buy a dozen eggs.

American financing.

I've thought about this all day.

The gods of the copybook headings.

We had plenty of money, but nothing our money could buy.

You can get a big raise and it's still not going to help because it's so expensive and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Please get out of those high interest credit cards if you can.

All right.

Maybe the biggest takeaway from this economy over the past couple of years has been that it doesn't matter how much money you make if the value of that money doesn't hold up.

Plenty of money, but nothing our money could buy.

The whole reason I tell you that you should invest in a certain percentage of assets into precious metals is that historically things like gold and silver tend to hold their own when inflation shoots up or when insanity goes crazy or the dollar goes belly up.

That'll never happen.

Then why is the Fed now testing with Citibank and everyone else the new Fed coin?

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So we were just talking to a dad who lost his son to California laws because he refused to

gender affirm

because he said his son, and I've seen the tapes of it, his son says,

I'm a boy.

Mom's telling me to say I'm a girl, but I'm a boy.

And he was on the special last night, which you can see at Blaze TV, or you can see parts of it at

youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

But I urge you to watch it

because it's pretty amazing.

And we had three experts on.

We had Mike Lee, who was there for the Constitution.

And then we had two attorneys.

And these attorneys, one of them is now representing, I think, five or six doctors in California for freedom of speech.

They're like, we don't agree with what the CDC is saying about COVID.

We have a right to say that to our parents.

We'll see how, or our patients.

We'll see how that happens.

And the other guy is Andrew Flushy.

He's a criminal defense attorney.

And the reason why we invited him is because

he's got a YouTube channel.

It's youtube.com slash Andrew Flushy, F-L-U-S-C-H-E.

And in this, he just tells people exactly what to do when, you know, the FBI or the police or child protective services come knocking at your door.

And he does it for all these scenarios all on his YouTube channel.

We asked Andrew to be with us today and just kind of go over some of the high points of what he talks about.

Hi, Andrew.

How are you?

I'm doing great, Glenn.

How are you?

I'm good.

So, so, what is the biggest thing that people do that they should never do?

I mean, and take it from the very beginning because you're talking to a group of people who have never considered themselves anything but law-abiding, constitutionalist, rational people.

But now you get a knock on the door and the police are there.

Your first instinct is to help them.

Yes, I think that's part of sort of a handicap that we have on the conservative side when dealing with the police.

Our instinct is the police are our friends.

And there's a many of them who are, but you don't know if the one at your door is your friend or not.

You don't know why he's there.

And if you didn't call for help,

You don't need to answer the door.

You don't need to open the door.

That's the first thing you need to be thinking is, did I call for help?

Did somebody in my home call for help?

And if they didn't, I would encourage you to not open the door unless they're announcing they have a warrant.

That gets a little trickier.

So if they say just,

police, open up.

If they say,

police, we have a warrant, open up, then you have to open it up.

Precisely.

If they announce they have a warrant, if they truly do have a warrant, which is something they should not lie about, if they do have a warrant, they can force entry if you don't open up.

So if you don't want to buy a new door, you may need to open it.

Okay.

So the FBI, we've seen examples of this with the FACE Act.

They come to the door, they say, we see you in there, open it up.

And they open up the door and the person in the home says, I need to see your warrant.

We have it.

It's in the car.

I need to see your warrant.

We have it.

It's in the car.

Don't give me any guff.

And they never end up showing the person the warrant.

They just walk away with the the person in cuffs.

So, this is a scenario that gets a little tricky, and it can depend upon whether or not this is a federal authority or a state authority who's knocking at the door.

Different states have different laws that get into the particulars of Fourth Amendment issues like this, and so it can be tricky to answer in general.

But the best advice I can give you is to not step outside.

Here's the big rule here.

If the police come to your door and say, we have a warrant in the car, come with us, and you voluntarily step outside, you've left your castle and the rules are now different and easier for the police to take you into custody.

If you remain inside and if you say, well, if you have a warrant, I'm not resisting.

And if they step in to get you, they need to later, of course, at court, be able to prove that that was justified.

So that's the first, the second big rule is to not step outside with them.

Okay, so wait a minute.

But it would be in court justified if they have the warrant.

But aren't they supposed to show you the warrant so you can read it?

Not necessarily.

So different states have different rules, and that's where it gets really tricky,

unfortunately.

So you don't necessarily have the right to see it right then.

And some of this the police would say is justified for police safety.

If they're giving you time to study a warrant, you could, you know, somebody else could be, you know, loading a gun in the back to shoot them or something.

Yeah, that happens with 84-year-old grandmothers all the time.

That's why I stopped visiting my grandmother in the nursing home.

I just thought any point she could attack.

Anyway.

Well, granddad, he might be armed.

Yeah, he might be armed.

So it's important

to never be rude to the police, right?

Because that could be used against you.

Yes, and that's where our conservative instinct that the police are our friends, I think, comes in handy.

Keep in mind,

some of these people are really just trying to do a good job and to help people.

And so never be rude or combative, certainly never physical against a police officer but you can politely say with all due respect i'm not stepping outside if you have a warrant you can you know i'm not resisting something like that you can politely say okay um this is

this is

i feel like um we're on the verge of really losing something that i always thought was important, but maybe it's more important to have the other point of view.

You know, forever, white people have said, you know, just don't argue with the police.

And they've said, police are not our friends.

And they teach their kids.

You know, I'm broadly overgeneralizing here, but many teach their kids, police are not your friends.

Don't go anywhere with them.

And it's kind of, I mean, we're kind of figuring this out now ourselves, that if the cops decide to make you an enemy of the state, you're kind of screwed and you better know your

Yeah, it's certainly a blind side that many of us have.

When I was growing up, I was always told if the, you know, if you need trouble, need help, find a police officer and they can help you.

And to some degree, I agree with that advice still, but it's very dependent upon your local police force and, frankly, even specific officers within your local police force.

Some can't be trusted, maybe.

And so we have to kind of take off our rose-colored glasses and teach our kids to be careful and cautious and certainly never talk to the police, especially if they're the ones coming to ask questions.

Tell me what to do if, I mean, does all of this exactly apply to ATF, if they come, or child protective services?

Yes, well, the ATF in particular, you know, we've seen the reports and videos of the ATF knocking on doors asking to see weapons.

And they say, oh, you know, just show me the weapon.

We'll note the serial number and we're out of here.

No problem.

Well, this is what I would call it's a a knock and talk, like police still do for drug dealers or something, you know, trying to just see who answers and see if they'll talk with them.

And in that scenario, you certainly do not have to show your weapons.

And I would say, again, don't answer the door.

If you answer the door and realize what they're asking for, say, no, thank you, and close the door.

So I think this same advice applies.

It's you don't have to answer the door and you certainly should not answer questions or show things to the police without a warrant.

And that is going against your natural instinct.

You said the other night,

anything you say can and will be used against you, even if you are really actually just trying to help.

It can be used against you and twisted against you.

Yes.

Well, one example is some of these face act arrests, you know, if they're claiming that something happened outside of an abortion mill, for example, and maybe you were present, maybe you were there, but maybe the police can't prove you were there, but they think it was you.

But if they come in and say, hey, you know, we heard you did X, Y, and Z at the abortion clinic, and you say, well, well, I was there, but I had nothing to do with that.

Well, now you've just proven you were there.

That's an admission, and they've linked you to a possible crime.

And so just even admitting anything can be a real problem.

Especially the way the government has, like, for instance, January 6th.

It was illegal to break into the capital, et cetera, et cetera.

But then they widened the scope and they started saying that the Capitol grounds were also protected.

And so now you could be scooped up if you were outside, you know, half a block away from the entrance.

You could still be scooped up.

Yes, and that's exactly part of what happened with Paul and Maryland.

You know, there was pictures on social media of them being present.

And then I believe they said that they unknowingly admitted to being present, but claimed, you know, obviously denied going inside.

Well, now you've just given them one more piece of evidence against you to build their case of whatever they're trying to investigate, which you may not even know their end goal, what they think you might have done.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So, Andrew, is this

what it seems to be?

It seems to be a government-gone rogue, but you've been in this business for a long time.

Is it worse than it used to be?

I would say it is.

I think the local level has probably about the same, you know, with state law violations.

But I think the federal authorities being involved in coming to people's homes directly, to me, I think is worse.

And I think certainly we're more aware of it, probably in thanks, you know, partly in thanks to YouTube and things where people can post their videos.

Maybe before it happened, we just didn't know as much about it.

But I think it is worse and certainly dialed up a crazy new level.

So can you answer one other question?

And I guess there's a couple of states that are doing this or a few states that are doing this.

Here in Texas, in the late 90s, I think, somebody was telling me yesterday about a purple paint law.

Are you familiar with that at all?

I am not.

Okay.

I'd love to have you look into this.

I'm going to call it attorney here.

Apparently, in 97, they made this deal that if you paint a pole or a tree and put it at the entrance of your property line, that or yeah, the entrance to your property,

that

only fire and

ambulance can go onto your property if they've been called.

Everybody else,

from what they told me, everyone else can't come in without the local sheriff.

So if the FBI or anybody, if you have that purple posting,

that they can't come in without contacting the sheriff first.

Does that

seem right?

Well, that's great.

Yes and no.

Okay.

Yes and no.

So purple paint, what this is basically sort of

blaze marks, right, is what we're talking about, planting purple blazemarks around your property line.

And it's a method of basically erecting no trespassing marks or signage.

So essentially, no trespassing signs, whatever the state law might require, no trespassing signs are effective in keeping away a knock and talk.

So the ATF knocking on your door asking to see see your guns, if they don't have a warrant, you've sat in no trespassing sign.

Nobody is invited.

Nobody has an implied invitation onto your property.

And so a knock and talk should not take place.

And that's a fantastic thing.

And just that would save you from a lot.

How many states are there?

Exactly.

It looked like there was maybe five or six of them

around the country.

You should get that passed in your local state because that's fantastic.

If you just stop the knock and talks, that takes away a lot of the the problems

yeah and i i it would be depending on state law but i believe every state if you erected no trespassing signs that are conspicuous and clearly posted i think it should save you in pretty much any state because it's telling the police there's no implied invitation to come up to your door just like anyone could if you keep all you know unex uninvited guests off your property that's the whole idea so i do recommend that yes that's fantastic um andrew thank you so much thanks for everything that you uh uh you do and I know you're out there working hard to try to defend these and defend people who are caught up in this mess.

But also for what you do on YouTube, I appreciate it.

It's very helpful.

Well, thank you, Gwynn.

It's a pleasure to be on the special, and I appreciate you having me back today.

You bet.

Andrew Flushi, he has got a YouTube channel where he goes through all of these scenarios and shows you exactly what to do and what not to do.

This should be required, really, honestly, for every conservative because there's no institutional knowledge that's that's just passed along.

This is new to us, uh, and you're gonna have to learn to live in a brand new America.

Uh, youtube.com/slash Andrew Flushy, or you can uh also go and see him on Blaze TV or youtube slash dot com slash Glenn Beck and watch the special from last night.

Sally wrote in a couple of short, but very sweet lines about her dog's experience with Rough Green.

She says, My dog, Bruno, now cries because he loves his food so much.

Oh my gosh, Bruno, he's named wrong.

Should be maybe named Glenn.

I just love this food so much.

Rough greens is amazing.

Thank you so, so much.

Sally, thank you for writing in.

But let me talk to Bruno here for a moment.

Bruno,

you and me.

Let's cry over dinner sometime together.

And I don't get the luxury of having rough greens on my food.

Why?

Why?

Rough greens isn't a dog food.

It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the food.

Dogs love it because it tastes amazing.

I haven't tried it, but I've smelled it.

I don't think it, but you know, they can live with their own breath.

So, meanwhile, they're getting all of the vitamins and minerals and the other things that are going to contribute to a healthy life for them.

I love these stories.

You can always tell so much about these stories.

What we know about the driver who hit 25 law enforcement recruits in L.A.

County.

Here's the story.

22-year-old driver involved in the crash was placed in custody, but authorities have not named the suspect.

L.A.

County Sheriff, Alex, whatever his name is, explained to investigators, explained that investigators are working to see if the crash was an accident or a deliberate act.

Period.

That's the end of the story.

Wait, wait, hold on just a second.

He hits 25 law enforcement recruits, and that's it?

Yeah, he's got to be a liberal.

Got to be a liberal.

By the way, good news in Oregon,

voters approved measure 114, known as the Reduction of Gun Violence Act, during the midterm elections.

This is something that says you can't have any more than 10 rounds in that

clip.

The problem is, is that out of all of the counties,

there were only, I think, three out of 36, no, six out of 36 counties that voted for it.

You'll never guess where they were.

The sheriffs in these other counties are saying we're not going to enforce it.

It's chaos.

It's absolute chaos in the streets.

They don't know.

No, no, no.

It's no, no, no.

It's

just a safe zone for clips.
