We begin with Mike Lee next.

He's a lawyer.

He knows the Constitution.

I'd like to hear what he has to say about what happened yesterday.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if the corners survival of the night

straight and hold the line

It's a new day I'm turned around

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment This is the Glenback program

Hello, it's it twisted free welcome to the program today

I can't think of anything that's going on that we might want to talk about, that you might want to talk about.

I might spill some opinions here in the next couple of hours

and talk to some really knowledgeable people about what was going on, but I'm saving the

what I believe the

only thing that I should be sharing with you really that

doesn't really come from me, comes from a place where I'm like, oh no, I don't want to say that.

I'm going to share that opinion at the top of our three.

So stand by.

Mike Lee joins us in 60 seconds.

Oh man, every day you spend far more time than maybe even you realize doing things online.

Were you online last night doing anything, looking at anything?

There's nothing to read, nothing to follow up on.

Yeah, nothing internet.

I like something that gets my heart pumping a little bit.

Yeah, I made it to the end of the internet, and there's nothing left.

There was nothing that did that last night.

Anyway,

right now,

you might underestimate how cybercrime and identity theft will affect your life.

Are you secure in

your

transactions?

Probably not.

Probably not.

May I suggest a little lifelock from time to time?

Nobody can stop all cyber threats, but boy, oh boy, they might be better than the FBI.

I'll tell you that right now.

Because they're working for you.

LifeLock actually is working for you.

They have restoration teams in case you do have a problem.

They also have top-of-the-line cybersecurity.

So preventive measures as well.

Mr.

Senator

Mike Lee.

Senator, how are you?

I'm doing great, Glenn.

Even better now that I'm on the Glenn Beck program.

Program, yes.

Oh, golly, Mike.

I wrote to you last night, night.

I texted you and just said, what the hell is happening?

So I'd like to start this interview with, what the hell is happening, Mike?

Well, we've got a whole lot more questions than we have answers right now, but I do have questions.

And some of those questions relate to why exactly is it that this happened?

This is unprecedented.

We've never seen this in our country.

having the home of a former President of the United States raided.

Now, we have some reason to believe that they were going after indications that the former president had perhaps mishandled classified documents.

That doesn't make any sense.

You know, if you think about it,

he would have had such documents, if he has classified documents, he would have had them and obtained them.

As of the moment, he was President of the United States.

The President of the United States is in charge of classifying,

declassifying classified documents, which means he had discretion to decide what he could and couldn't have.

It

baffles me to consider how this means that he could have violated the law.

Oh, so you mean, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

So that now makes sense.

So that's why Hillary Clinton could have all the sensitive stuff on her email server and have people just cut top secret off of the emails there at the skiff because she had discretion on what could be secret and not top secret.

Right, and she was not president of the United States.

Oh, she wasn't

at the time this happened.

She was only Secretary of State.

And yet, there was no raid of Hillary Clinton's home.

No

was Hillary ever charged.

Okay, all right, wait, wait, wait.

But

I think I have the concept now.

Okay, so it's like when Sandy Berger went into the National Archives Archives and stuffed stuff about Clinton into his pants where it usually belongs, stuffs it into his underpants and then leaves and destroys documents.

It's just like that.

But he had the right to do that, right?

That's why he didn't go to.

Naturally, because of the pants exception, if it's in your pants.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

All right.

You can't get rated.

Here's the thing, Mike.

You have said to me, I don't even know.

When we were going through the Clinton thing, I said, Mike, why are we not going after this woman?

Because the average person would go, they'd be in prison.

And you calmly, like you always do, said Glenn, we don't want to start that.

Because once you go after

an opponent that you may have lost to or you're going to run against,

then you become a banana republic.

Yes.

That is what happens.

Look at countries that do that.

Look at countries that prosecute and imprison their political opponents.

And it's especially egregious here where you've got a former president who is contemplating preparing for a run against the incumbent present president of the United States.

It's made far more serious by virtue of that.

Now, look, we don't know all the facts here.

Maybe there's more that we don't see.

I don't know.

All I'm saying is, look at this objectively.

There is a chill wind that blows with this.

know.

We have, I don't know how we close this door now that it's been opened.

So that's why I'm saying there darn well better be some really compelling stuff, stuff that we're not seeing at this point, because this is playing with fire.

So just to lighten the mood, I said yesterday, I tweeted, if

Donald Trump has, let's say, Kathy Griffiths' head in his safe at Mar-lago, it would not only be ironic,

a little bit funny,

but it would also be murder.

So I would be, okay, okay, it went in because he had Kathy Griff's head in his safe.

I get it.

But it better be something big

to violate this rule.

This changes everything,

does it not?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, it does.

And it's terribly frightening.

Now, look, maybe we could give them more of a benefit of the doubt.

I would love to be able to do that.

But number one, they've got to throw us a bum.

They've got to give us something

to

give them that benefit of the doubt.

But

why?

Yeah, how could we possibly give them the benefit of the doubt when their own FBI, they went to the FISA court and lied about Carter Page to be able to get a warrant from the FISA court, and the FISA court did nothing to the FBI, and the FBI did nothing to the FBI?

Why should we how can they deserve the benefit of the doubt?

And not only that, Glenn, but on the FISA point,

they

have routinely engaged in backdoor searches of information collected under Section 702 of FISA,

and then they act like it's no big deal.

I asked Christopher Wray about it in a hearing before the Judiciary Committee last week.

It's hard to even get him to engage on that.

It's the same FBI, moreover, that recently published as symbols of militia violent extremism,

symbols as innocuous and embedded in our nation's history as the Gadsden flag, you know, the don't sit on me symbol, as the Betsy Ross flag, and things like that.

This is how they're treating symbols long associated with American history, and they're calling those symbols of violent domestic extremism.

So, you add all these things together, and it becomes very, very discouraging.

And I tell you, Glenn, when you merge all of this with the fact that the Democrats just passed through the Senate

only 36 hours ago or so, this plan to hire an additional 87,000 IRS agents, bringing the total number of IRS agents to,

I don't know, it's 150,000, 160,000 so far, making this a bigger end day.

More people working there than work at the Pentagon, than working at the FBI, than work at so many of our very large government agencies combined.

This is really, really frightening.

This is, I'm telling you, it's a private army.

It is a private army.

And if the, first of all, I think there's a couple of results from this.

One, I think they really want

another January 6th.

They are begging for it.

Nobody paid attention to the January 6th hearings because everybody knows it's bull crap.

There were problems,

but it wasn't the worst since the Civil War.

Not even close.

The bad guys should have gone to jail, but look at how they treated those guys.

American citizens treated like no American citizens have been treated probably since the Civil War.

And

they treat them like this.

They couldn't, they trump everything up, no pun intended, and they can't get America to care about it.

They have nothing to run on.

And

what do they do?

So we go out and it's completely something new.

It's, oh no, he has these documents.

That's insanity to go and do this.

I think they are just poking America with a stick saying, come on, come get us.

And that be the worst thing that could happen, because then I think we're all over.

I think we're done.

And if you look around at what many news pundits and many commentators on social media have been saying on the left, they're celebrating this.

They're spiking the football

by saying things like, oh,

you know, the orange man's going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit pretty soon.

This is giving into their

basest impulses.

Once they found out it wasn't about Jen.

It's not for whether you hate him.

It's hard to ignore the fact that once you open this door, open the door of saying the incumbent president of the United States, the current president of the United States, can prosecute, can raid

a would-be political opponent, somebody considering running against them.

There better be a darn good reason for that because if not, you've violated all sorts of norms, norms that go back nearly two and a half centuries.

And we don't want to open that door because I don't know if it can be closed.

So, Mike, I have to tell you.

I, you know, I believe you.

I trust you.

You know, when you said that about Hillary Clinton, I didn't like it, but I'm like, you're right, you're right.

We shouldn't do that.

And I really wrestled.

I've wrestled with that thought of why don't we arrest these people for a very long time.

I have to tell you, after this, if the Republicans win win and they don't go after and put in jail every damn one of these people that are trying to destroy our nation through lies and deceit,

you won't have a country left.

You won't have a country left.

I hope this makes the Republicans focus on the Constitution.

You violate the Constitution.

I don't care which party you belong to.

You go to jail.

period

is that too extreme

no it's not too extreme i still don't think it's a good idea for people to chant lock her up and things like that

i don't want any chanting i i want justice i want uh reasoned justice that's what i want i don't want chanting i don't want a mob well

Reasoned justice is always a good way to go, and I think that's what we need now more than ever.

And as much as anything, Glenn, honestly, our country needs prayers.

We need to pray for our country.

I really do worry about the period of unrest that's coming as a result of this.

Mike,

what are you guys going to do today?

What can you do today?

that is meaningful in Washington.

All right, so we're going to ask a lot of questions, and those questions right now aren't going to carry the same level of weight as they will carry

as of noon on January 3rd.

Because as of noon on January 3rd, gavels are going to change hands because Americans are going to show up in record numbers in November, and they're going to elect Republicans.

They're not going to come within a country mile of a Democrat unless they themselves are bought into this idea that you can just politicize and weaponize law enforcement in this country.

And that's when those questions will have to be answered because we'll have subpoena power.

We'll have the ability to bring in people and get them to answer questions.

And then when we find out who's broken the law and what they did and why they did it,

those people in time will also meet justice.

Mike, thank you so much mike lee uh the center from by the way

i know this guy egg mcmuffin is running against you and you should sue him you should sue him for what he is saying about you he immediately yesterday tweeted out saying oh you know i'd be concerned if i were mike lee if a guy i had been helping out was going to prison how you feeling mike sue the man mike Enough is enough.

Now, so

about that,

the man's acting with reckless disregard for the truth.

There will be time to sort out what remedies exist.

But the first remedy I'm focused on right now is beating him, beating him soundly, exposing him for the shadow Democrat that he is, having been endorsed by the Democratic Party, having praised Joe Biden and everything he does,

having been a shill for Democratic causes, I'm going to beat him soundly in the polls.

And anyone within the sound of my voice, I'd invite them to join me in the cause of defeating the shadow Democrat Evan McMullen.

And you can help me in that cause by going to leadforsenate.com.

That's leadforsenate.com.

This guy's getting Democratic money.

He's raising money through Act Blue.

Democrats all over the country are funding his campaign.

And he's running as if he's kind of a Republican, Republican, but he's not.

He's a shadow Democrat.

So go to leeforsenate.com and help me defeat him.

Thank you, Mike.

I will tell you that if we lose Mike Lee in the Senate, we have lost a lion.

And

I know he sounds like a lamb at times, and that's why he's so good.

He never rants and raves, and he's logical.

But I will tell you, just like a surgical knife,

he will cut the infection out

thank you so much mike i appreciate it

all right our sponsor this half hour

is relief factor i love to paint sometimes thinking you know about things things that are in your mind takes it take shape slowly on a canvas um

but i can tell you it wouldn't have ever happened if I hadn't had Relief Factor.

I just wouldn't be able to do it anymore.

I had pain in my hands for years and years and years, pain in my body, and my hands were the worst because they would just stop working.

They'd start shaking really bad and they'd stop working.

When I stop taking my relief factor, if I miss a couple of days or whatever, I try to take it three times a day.

But, you know, up at the ranch, especially all by myself without my wife going, are you taking your relief factor?

A few days without taking it, my hands start to shake again.

It's just bad.

And all it is, it's not a drug.

It was developed by doctors and it takes care of inflammation.

It hits it four different directions.

I never thought it would work for me.

Maybe you don't think it'll work for you.

Just try it for three weeks, will you?

1995, try it for three weeks.

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

I'm one of them.

ReliefFactor.com, 800, the number four relief.

800, the number four relief.

ReliefFactor.com.

Feel the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

I beg

that anyone,

anyone that you hear say anything like,

it is time to take and sign our own Declaration of Independence, whatever it is,

know

now is the time to vote.

We are so close to the election.

Send them a very

clear message.

Very clear.

They are doing this.

I am convinced.

Look what they're doing.

They're making him a martyr.

Now, do they understand that?

They're making Donald Trump.

I mean, I almost wore my MAGA hat in today again.

Okay?

They're making him into a martyr.

That's a symbol is much, much worse than a presidential candidate.

So what is their end game here?

Their end game is they need you to swing.

Do not

do it.

Any influence you have with anybody, if anyone says anything,

stifle it immediately and say, this will make things a thousand times worse.

I really think their end goal here.

I mean, they got 87,000 IRS agents ready to be hired.

What do you think that's for?

That is a private presidential army.

That's what that is.

To take care of people like you, or like me, or anybody else they don't like.

The army of the IRS is, what about,

don't we have a standing army of 350?

I think our standing army, if that's right, that's about half of our standing army.

That's kind of a problem.

It's kind of a problem.

Why do you think they have that?

Prayers.

Pray.

Pray to love your enemy.

Pray for peace.

Pray for peace inside of yourself and everyone else.

This is a crit.

This, these are the times that try men's souls.

Vote.

Vote.

Vote.

The Glenn Back program.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Well, it certainly won't if you don't vote.

We'll deal with it then.

My Patriot Supply.

Hey, Stu,

do you think anything's going on where it might lead to, I don't know, chaos, disruption?

No.

Shortages?

Everything is totally fine and will be fine for the foreseeable future.

Okay, all right.

So, if you were going to go to my Patriot Supply and you know, get a four-week emergency food kit from my Patriot Supply, $50 off the regular price, that would be smart or I mean, I don't know.

Paranoid, it just seems like you're, yeah, you don't really need to do that right now.

Why now?

Right.

What have you seen in the news that would make you think you might possibly have a breakdown of all society tomorrow?

Yep, that's true.

I haven't seen anything that would say we're headed to really dark places.

My

personal message

to America on

what happened yesterday at Mar-Lago at the top of our three of today's podcast.

You don't want to miss it.

Does anybody have any credibility anymore?

If you

If you are actually celebrating what is happening with Donald Trump, you have no idea

how much this changes things.

You may be for the destruction of America, and then you celebrate.

If you're not for the destruction of America, you better pay attention quickly.

This is a massive move.

And who has credibility on it?

Nobody's going to believe Donald Trump.

Okay.

The right will believe Donald Trump, but nobody on the left.

So you're not going to change any minds there.

Do you think the right's going to believe the New York Times, MSNBC, NBC, CBS?

You think we're going to believe the New York Times?

The people who have been carrying water for the Biden crimes, the Clinton crimes?

And I'm not talking about the stupid death list.

I'm talking about a server server

and having her own State Department people go into a skiff, which is the top secret room.

It's completely sealed off.

Going in, getting documents, cutting off top secret,

and then emailing them to her on her private server.

And nothing.

And now you're going to try to convince me this has nothing to do with January 6th.

Okay.

What does it have to do with?

Well, it's a National Archives thing.

He's got papers that should be in the history department of the hospital.

Excuse me, what?

He has top secret papers.

We have pictures.

Coincidentally, they came out yesterday, right around the time of

the raid, you know, of him flushing stuff down the toilet.

We don't know what it was, but

somebody who's nameless took pictures of his toilets when he was traveling.

He was smart enough to rip them up, so we don't know what they said, but he wasn't smart enough to flush them.

You know, he's one of those guys that just leaves the toilet without flushing it.

I mean, there wasn't anything in it except the papers that he tore up because he wanted to make sure that nobody ever saw those papers and they were destroyed.

And then he went in and he ripped them up over the toilet, let them in the toilet, and then he forgets to flush.

I don't even know if he washed his hands.

But lucky for you,

we had somebody with him

with a camera on their phone.

And they went in right after him.

Hey, light a match, Mr.

President.

Click.

Good thing for us, huh?

That's ridiculous.

The bank servers.

He's got he's pinging a bank.

Untrue.

Carter Page is a Russian spy.

Untrue.

Donald Trump is is a Russian spy.

Does he look like a Russian spy?

Untrue.

Collusion with Russia.

Untrue.

Ukraine, the perfect phone call.

Not true.

Not true.

Wasn't a perfect phone call.

Was not impeachable.

The P-tape dossier.

None of that was true.

Here's why they can't have him as president of the United States, okay?

They can't have him as president of the United States because we are headed towards a completely new,

all-redesigned, non-capitalist, non-constitutional, great reset.

And all of the West is involved in it.

And New York Times, don't call me a conspiracy theory because you just wrote a story about me and people like me trying to stop ESG, which you said didn't exist.

So you have no credibility.

This is not just about their hatred for Donald Trump.

This is about the elites.

Now, I've got to tell you,

I don't like the Secret Service.

I've said this since Bush was in office.

I think there's a problem in the Secret Service.

I think it's poorly run.

I am a guy who has paid about a million dollars for my family's security every freaking year for the last 15 years.

Okay, think about that.

Oh, Glenn Beck must be rolling in the dough.

No, not after the security costs.

Thank you.

But I want my family to be safe.

And I would rather have my security than

any security from the Secret Service because they rely on money.

That's it.

They'll solve it with money.

We'll just get more guys.

Donald Trump should hire his own security.

Donald Trump should hire his own security because I'm sorry, whether it is through just

stupidity

or

it's part of the government.

I don't know.

If you're on the Secret Service detail of Donald Trump, God bless you.

I watched you guys at CPAC.

I watched you more than I watched anything else.

I saw your eyes.

I watched you.

And there are those on his team that, whether you like him or not, are doing your job.

And I thank you for that.

But if they can't get this guy by hook or by crook to go in and be a part of the new jail system

for political opponents, they will kill him.

They cannot have him be president because he is America first.

Not only that,

you do this to this guy.

Ah, gee,

you've gone after

my family.

You've gone after me.

You lied about me.

I have the evidence.

All I have to do is bring it out because it's all on videotape on some dumb son's phone.

Do you really think

a new Justice Department that's not even political but just clear that

hold nothing back?

Hillary Clinton

and her Clinton initiative.

Do you think the Clinton initiative that there's no

impropriety going on there?

Do you really think that Adam Schiff, who's lied?

There's nothing there.

Nothing for Hunter.

Nothing for Joe Biden in, you know, in China?

Nothing.

No, there's nothing there.

BlackRock, the collusion with the banks,

everything that they're doing now, right now, you don't think that a Justice Department that is hell-bent on cleaning and settling scores could settle scores pretty damn quickly

I hope we don't get there

because this has to be about reasoned justice but look at what they've just caused what is their end game

what is the end game

you make him into a martyr by throwing me in jail or killing him?

You make him a martyr, so you make him him stronger.

That doesn't make sense.

Why would you want that?

Well, we just want him out of the...

You think Ron DeSantis isn't going to be the immediate frontrunner?

And that Ron DeSantis would be easier to beat in your book?

Are you that stupid?

You, wait, you take out Donald Trump, and then the heir apparent,

Ron DeSantis, DeSantis, runs, and for some reason you think that all the Trump supporters wouldn't go, yup.

Hmm.

What is your end game?

The only one that makes sense to me is stop him at any cost,

and lunatics will take to the streets.

And then we'll have our evidence that they are more dangerous than anyone could possibly imagine.

Please pray for your country.

I'd love, I don't expect to hear from any, but I would love to hear from a Democrat today.

Alan Dershowitz has the balls to come on.

Wait till you hear what he has to say.

Is there a single Democrat within the sound of my voice?

Single one

that doesn't, that sees this?

Where are the FBI agents?

Where are the freaking FBI agents who don't see what's coming?

Stu looked up the things for 87,000 IRS agents coupled with what they already have.

That's about 170.

That's almost the size of our National Guard.

You feel comfortable with that, Democrats?

You don't think that there's a possibility that, not this guy, because this guy is so perfect.

He's made your life so good.

I mean, everything he's done is sunshine and lollipops.

Do you really think that there's no possibility that someone, even Donald Trump, might come in at some point and weaponize

the IRS?

Is there anybody?

Is there a single Democrat?

Call me.

I'd love to hear from you.

888-727-BECK.

Is there one?

Because, look, I voted for the guy.

But this is too far.

This is too much.

Anybody that says, oh, you would have done that to Hillary Clinton, I would have gone ape.

Fascist.

I see what you guys have been worried about.

888-77, surprisingly not.

888-727-BECK.

More in a minute.

Car repairs have always been expensive, even before there was a

computer chips shortage.

Car manufacturers had to put a hold on production, which we're still feeling now.

You could easily expect to drop a few paychecks worth of money to fix that car.

If something goes wrong, it's out of warranty.

Yeah.

A lot worse.

Don't deal with it.

Take this hassle off your plate, please.

I know money is hard to come by, and that's why we have health insurance.

Because you know, if you get sick, and you're going to, if it's something serious, you're screwed, right?

That's why you have health insurance.

This is health insurance for your car.

CarShield offers a production plan for around $100 a month.

You choose the mechanic to do the work.

CarShield administrators handle the rest for anything that is covered.

And you can find out what's covered.

All you have to do is go to Car Shield right now.

When your car breaks down, you're stuck on the side of the road.

Every protection plan they have includes coast-to-coast roadside assistance, rental car options, trip reimbursement, no extra cost.

Lock in your price today and it will never go up.

But I can tell you, the rates of getting your car fixed,

those are going to go up.

Your coverage won't.

Is there anyone in American history that has been more

investigated and persecuted than Donald Trump?

Because it's not just the United States that has investigated him.

He's been investigated by every Western source, and I believe also Russia and everybody else.

He has been investigated.

If they had anything, it would have come out.

Anything.

I told him recently, I said, you have got to be the cleanest man ever to be in politics because i mean

you know you're a developer in new york you don't get anything done without a little bit to the mob you know i mean hey make this problem go away trying to get this building built what do you say

if that would have happened they would have had it by now

every agency on the planet has looked for dirt on this guy.

And you're going in to raid his house.

Why?

If this was Donald Trump, I would be on the air today saying exactly the same thing.

You mean if Trump was president?

If Trump was president and he was doing this to, let's say, Hillary Clinton,

I would be pretty sure that there was something there because nobody has ever investigated any of the crimes that we know of.

But I would be saying the same thing.

You damn well better have something huge, man.

You better come out of that house with vince foster's body okay

you better come out with that because you don't do it

what do they have on this guy

it just keeps getting smaller and he didn't vacuum you know he's never vacuumed his carpet he he has servants do it He's never vacuumed himself.

Doesn't even know how to use a vacuum.

You're joking, but they came out yesterday with

the biggest story in months was that he didn't flush the toilet well enough.

Right.

That's Basically,

think about how stupid you have to be to believe that.

That he would go into his own bathroom, tear it up, put it in the toilet, and then not flush.

Are you insane?

If you see the pictures,

he rips it up to these little rectangles, supposedly.

And it does look like his handwriting on there,

but it's all stacked so neatly at the bottom of the toilet.

It wasn't like he flushed it and it didn't go down.

No, it looks like he just dropped it in there.

No, and it's like

when you when you would do something like that, I would think that you would just, you know, you tear it and you throw it in, tear it and throw it in, tear it and throw it in.

This looks like he tore it and then threw it in as one.

As one big stack.

It somehow floated right to the bottom in one big stack and then he didn't flush, which is an odd step to take.

You're so clear of, I'm going to get rid of this.

And then you don't flush.

And somebody is like, hey, I got to go in.

Hey, I got to go party now, eh?

Implausible, doesn't it?

It's totally implausible.

I don't know, but even if it is,

this is what you're grading a president's house for.

America, this is not us.

Vote.

Dedicate yourself today to just live for November and vote.

Wouldn't it be nice to buy things from someone who didn't despise you?

I would like that.

Isn't that kind of an interesting concept?

You walk into the store and they're like, oh, I hate them.

Right.

You know, I'd like somebody to go, hi, I don't, I'm neutral on you.

Yeah, just neutral.

That's all.

You don't have to love me.

Just be neutral.

Yeah, that's all I need.

And Grip Six does more than that because they love this country.

And not a lot of companies can say that anymore.

It used to be something that everybody led with, you know?

Yeah, we love this country.

This is, you know, we're a great American company.

Now they run from that, like the plague.

Please look past that we're made in the USA.

Yeah, we really would rather be made in China.

We're trying to get our factories moved right now.

Yeah, yeah.

Don't hold that again.

Gripsix.com/slash stew is the place to go.

It's a small company in Utah.

They sell all over the world, but they source everything right here in America.

They love this country.

They've got great belts.

They've got awesome wallets, great socks as well.

You can customize them.

they're really cool looking, and they got great options for you.

Plus, they love this country.

Grip6.com/slash stew, use the code stew and save 15%.

Grip the number six.com/slash stew, get 15% off today.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the course of the night.

Stand up straight in the hold of the light.

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 Glen Beck program

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program, Chief.

It's almost as if nothing is going on of importance.

The FBI searched Trump's Mar-Lago home yesterday.

This is unheard of.

We don't do this.

You might know, I talked to Mike Lee about, what, six years ago when we were going through the Hillary,

emails on her server.

And I'm like, why is she not going to jail?

Why are we not prosecuting?

And he said, in America, we have made the choice that we don't want to be a banana republic.

And we just don't want to start down that road because that's the way Russia does it.

That's the way banana republics do it.

We have now a weaponized government, a weaponized IRS, soon to be weaponized.

It's already been somewhat, but I don't think you've seen anything like what's coming.

And now the FBI weaponized against

the, I guess, enemies of the state as dictated by a political party.

They better come out of Mar-Lago with something huge.

Huge.

As I said before, I would have said this with Hillary Clinton.

You better come out with Vince Foster's body and the pictures of you killing him in the park.

If that's what you're going to do, send the FBI in for a raid like this.

This is un-American.

We don't do this.

Now, I reserve judgment.

Maybe he's got heads in his refrigerator.

I highly doubt it.

I wanted to get a legal expert from a man who I can trust.

to speak his mind.

He is the author of The Price of Principal, which is one of the best titles I've ever heard.

The Price of Principal, Alan Dershowitz in 60.

When you're looking to buy or sell a house, it's easy just to kind of pick the real estate agent out of a hat or even worse, go with somebody you might know personally just because they're moonlighting as a real estate agent.

Here's the thing.

You don't want somebody that is halfway.

You want somebody who's going to

do the best, been in the business, has the experience.

This is the largest investment you may ever make.

What you need is to contact realestate agentsitrust.com.

This is my company.

It pairs you with the

top-selling real estate agent in your area and the area you're moving to.

Whether you're moving across town or across the country, the agents we work for will not only get you started on the right foot, they will see the whole process through to the end.

Don't take my word for it.

Do your own homework.

Oh, by the way, just kind of an added benefit.

If you say, is this the master bedroom?

They're not going to freak out and call the PC cops on you.

If you say, is this the principal bedroom?

They're not going to freak out either.

Yeah, they're just going to sell your house and help you buy a new one.

Crazy, isn't it?

Realestateagents I trust.com.

Professor Alan Dershowitz, back on the program.

Alan, you were one of the first people I thought of when I heard what was going on because I knew you would have an opinion and it would force me to either rethink mine or to shore mine my opinion up.

Tell me about the raid on Donald Trump.

Well, first of all, you know, I have more experience under the Fourth Amendment than probably any academic in America.

I understand the Fourth Amendment.

I've written books about it.

I've litigated dozens of cases on the Fourth Amendment.

And I'm a liberal Democrat who voted for Biden and against Trump.

But this raid is absolutely outrageous and unconstitutional.

You don't engage in a raid on a house unless you've exhausted all other possibilities.

And the most obvious recourse here was a subpoena, a subpoena to the president.

saying there are 25 boxes in your house.

There's a safe.

We would like you to bring them all to the court tomorrow morning before you have a chance to leave where you are in the Northeast and come there and destroy anything.

And we will then submit it to a judge, and lawyers can argue.

Some of it was unclassified, some of it was unclassified by the president, some was never classified, some may be so classified that even the FBI shouldn't have access to it.

Some may be privileged, lawyer client, executive privilege.

This is exactly the kind of thing that needs a document-by-document analysis by a judge, not the FBI, coming in and sweeping everything together, breaking into a safe.

It reminds me of the Geraldo Rivera fiasco when he broke into the safe of one of the big gangsters, Capone or something, and nothing was in there.

Nothing was in there.

You know, you must have a single standard of justice.

I'm a friend of both Sandy Berger, who was the former national security advisor, the late Sandy Berger, and a friend of Hillary Clinton.

What they were accused of was exactly comparable, and there were no searches of their houses.

People who have been found guilty of taking classified material improperly have been given fines.

I don't think there's ever been a search like this

based on the allegations made in this case.

Now, don't rush to judgment.

Maybe there is something there.

Right now, the burden of proof is heavily on the Justice Department and the FBI to justify what they have done.

Absent a justification,

most Americans will not believe this was necessary and they're going to come back and say, oh, we can't discuss it.

Ongoing investigation, classified material, nonsense.

Appoint a special master.

who has security clearance, who can objectively look through this thing, or else appoint the congressional committee, a real committee, not like January 6th, which includes 40% Republicans, 60% Democrats.

Have them look at this in a classified manner.

But we cannot accept either silence or a claim that privilege somehow or confidentiality requires silence.

But do we even know the chain of command now?

I mean,

how safe is it?

First of all, Alan, we had Hillary Clinton having some of her staff cut top secret off the top of documents in a skiff, send them to her server at her house, and we didn't go through this.

What could possibly be in these documents that are so vital that it

it warrants this compared to what Hillary Clinton did?

Or compared to what a subpoena would have produced.

We don't know what's in there.

Maybe there is some smoking gun.

Again, he wasn't even on the premises.

He couldn't have destroyed the information.

All they had to do was issue a subpoena returnable this morning at 9 o'clock.

There would have been no possibility of destroying evidence.

And by the way, if anyone, President Trump or anyone else, ordered the destruction of evidence, that's Nixon time.

That's impeachment.

That's criminal prosecution.

That's a serious crime, destroying subpoenaed material.

That's what the law is there for, to prevent that.

And does anybody believe that Donald Trump would have taken a chance to destroy material?

He didn't know whether there were copies of the material or other evidence that it might be destroyed.

This is a pretext, a pretext.

There's no way that the

Justice Department actually believed that President Trump would destroy the documents.

Now, people say, oh, but a judge approved of this search warrant.

Let me tell you, with almost 60 years of experience as a criminal law, I've never heard of a judge ever turning down a search warrant, ever.

They give out search warrants more easily than Halloween candy.

And so that's not a safeguard at all.

Who was the judge?

Do we know who did this?

Do we know anything about it?

I don't know anything.

No, we haven't seen the document.

Look, there is a search warrant in existence.

We should see it.

There is an affidavit in support of the search warrant.

We know what happened when there was the search warrant for the FISA court.

It turned out to be fake.

It turned out to be filled with lies.

By the FBI.

Yeah.

Well, you know, I I love the FBI.

I have worked with the FBI.

I have worked with former directors of the FBI.

It's a great organization.

I don't know what the Chamber of Command is.

The White House has denied knowing about the raid, which is quite surprising.

Obviously, the Attorney General, who I also know, a former student at Harvard Law School, I think very highly of him.

I supported him for the Supreme Court.

He obviously had to have approved this raid.

What was he thinking?

Let him tell us.

Maybe he's right.

Maybe he did the right thing.

I want to know that.

Americans have a right to know that because we all now know if you can do this to a former president, you can do it to Glenn Beck, you can do it to Alan Dershowitz, you can do it to all of your listeners.

And this has to be justified or else it has to be undone.

Could you speak directly as if I were a person that voted for Biden and I despise Donald Trump?

And I think he's guilty of everything that, and he just can't be president anymore.

Why is this so important

that we correct?

Yeah.

Yeah, look, I'm talking to you from Martha's Vineyard, where nobody in Schillmark speaks to me anymore.

Recently, I was invited to a big event

celebration of somebody's engagement.

I got a letter this morning saying, we have been told not to invite you because if we invite you, nobody else will come.

Oh, my God.

Our social social reputations will be destroyed.

I had another event, a concert, where a good friend of mine said, if I invited you, I'd be committing social suicide.

I tell all these stories, naming names, in my book, The Price of Principle, because the price of principle is all about what happens to Americans today when they try to be neutral, try to be principled, try to be objective.

and don't pick sides.

And so I would hope that people who hate Trump, who voted for Biden, I voted for Biden, are just as upset at what happened here as people who are Trump

supporters.

Now, look, there are three groups of people.

There are the Lawrence tribes, for whom if you're after Trump, everything's okay.

Constitution be damned.

Constitution was written for the Democratic Party.

There's no objective status.

Okay, that's one group of people.

The other group of people are so supportive of Trump that nothing done against him can ever be justified.

The vast majority of Americans want to see justice whether they voted for or against the candidate, and that's what we're not seeing here today.

And so I urge all of my fellow Democrats to object to this.

We're the ones who can really have an influence on this administration because we're not Trump supporters.

We're justice supporters.

We believe in the Constitution.

And that's where the pressure has to come.

Would you agree that the FBI has been weaponized?

I think that there are elements within the FBI that have been weaponized.

I do think that.

Look, it happened during the McCarthy period

as well.

And it was wrong then, and it's wrong now.

The FBI should be.

Look, the head of the FBI is not.

is not a liberal Democrat.

He's nonpartisan.

And I don't know whether he has deliberately done these things.

But remember, the FBI works for the Justice Department.

They are part of the Justice Department.

And so,

you know, there's an old story where the Attorney General of the United States during the Second World War tried to get into the building late, and the building was restricted.

And he said to the guard, I am

the Attorney General of the United States.

And the guard said, I don't care if you're J.

Edgar Hoover himself.

You can't get in here.

But that was wrong.

J.A.

Gahoo worked for the Attorney General of the United States.

And so

does the director of the FBI, work for the Justice Department.

Is your book out yet?

I haven't read it yet.

Ellen, I'm sorry to say that.

It is.

It is, and it's doing very well on Amazon.

And please buy it and review it because it's all about what's going on now.

It's all about, it starts out with the phrase that partisanship has trumped principle yes and that we no longer live in a nation governed by principles we live in a nation governed by partisanship divisions and you know as abraham lincoln said a nation divided itself against itself cannot stand that's the nation we're living in today

i will read it um the price of principle um you are paying a very high price for that as are others um but thank you for having them and sticking to them i have a thick skin i have a thick skin i can bear the cost But when the people of my island, Martha's Vineyard, are not allowed to hear me speak at the Chilmark Library, when I've been banned by a public library because I defended President Trump, then it goes beyond any parties or social convenience or social inconvenience.

People have the right to disinvite me if they don't like my politics.

They're wrong to do it, but they have the right to do it.

But they have no right to prevent a library from allowing me to speak, which is what's happened.

I hate to say this, but welcome to the club.

Thanks so much.

Alan Dershowitz, thank you.

You bet,

the author of The Price of Principles.

He didn't get invited to one event, but he got invited to a new club.

Oh, there's an upside.

Not a club.

No, I don't think it really is.

So yesterday we got Damon Inn,

the new German Shepherd.

He is really sweet.

A little spicy.

A little spicy.

But just Uno.

We got to keep him apart, I guess, for like at least four weeks.

They have to get to kind of know each other before they're off the chains.

And

Uno is just like, what is he doing here?

I don't recognize him.

He was a visitor yesterday.

Why is he sleeping over?

We don't have sleepovers with dogs.

So we have to feed them separately now and everything else.

We'll see how things work out.

But they seem to like each other a lot.

He's just a little spicy.

Uno's a little old.

But yesterday they both got an extra, you know,

healthy scoop of rough greens in their food.

Rough greens is something that you put on your food.

It is really, really good, chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.

If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens.

Remember, the idea is top-down, bottom-up, inside out.

These are the times.

Is it amazing that I just told you yesterday, I feel like the seasons have changed again and we're about to head into even a faster decline?

Thanks for doing that.

I think it's your fault.

Yeah, right.

You're the one calling for it.

Yeah.

This is, you wonder, you worry about this because it seems like there's no principle governing this stuff anymore.

We're no longer in a society where

these rules and norms apply.

You know,

for all the stuff they said about Donald Trump and for all the times he was on stage saying lock her up and all these things that the left constantly complained about, I might remind you.

He never did any of that stuff.

Right.

He didn't do it.

Right.

Right.

Now they're doing it.

And the same people who were so opposed to the chance on stage are cheering it on with every fiber of their being.

Yeah, it's crazy.

Listen,

I want to say something that you may not like,

but I'm not here here really for you to like me.

I mean,

my company would say, yes, Glenn, that is the point, but I have to tell you the truth.

Please, let me ask you, if you have a, you know, piss on all liberals bumper stickers or

an F Joe Biden, anything like that,

that is really

divisive, I ask you to take that off, symbolically, take that off your car, to symbolically remind you in your mind

that you want to be a peacemaker and not somebody who is

stirring things up.

Because if we want the other side to eventually come over, which we're hoping that Democrats will see what's going on.

And look, you're not going to feel this.

You're going to feel this in your own community.

You're not going to feel this on Twitter or social media because that's a

distortion of us.

That is a funhouse mirror.

So you're not going to feel it.

And every time you go on social media, you're going to get more and more pissed off.

So stop it.

Stop it.

Do everything you can.

to foster peace in your every time you want to pick up uh pick up social media and you want to read you want to read comments

uh pick something else up i don't care if it's charlotte's web i would recommend uh you know the scriptures but i don't care if it's charlotte's web something that will turn the heat down in you we have to be logical reasonable loving

and active voters.

This does not mean that you sit down and shut up.

It just means now is the time to behave differently.

If anyone does anything stupid, and remember we're in a country of 350 million, the odds of that are pretty good.

If anybody does anything stupid, it will change our nation and

could collapse our nation.

And we lose this freedom and American experience forever.

Do everything you can to turn down the heat.

That does not mean you don't speak out about what's going on.

It's wrong.

There are many reasons why it's wrong.

I'll wait to see the evidence.

If not, I'm waiting for them to explain themselves.

And they will explain themselves come November.

Thomas Massey next.

Some people think nature is like this, but actually, it's like this.

That's why Columbia engineers everything we make for anything nature can throw at you.

Columbia engineered for whatever.

We have an out-of-control federal government.

This is what happens when you don't follow the Constitution and respect state rights.

My comments

that I felt very powerfully

compelled to share with you coming up in just a few minutes, I did want to bring on Thomas Massey.

We were going to talk about the

IRS and the weaponization of the IRS,

you know, or perhaps he's big on what the ATF is doing now with guns and how that's been weaponized, or how the Department of Ed is also now been weaponized against our families.

But I thought we would today instead just talk about the weaponization of the DOJ with what happened yesterday.

Thomas Massey, welcome.

Thanks, Glenn.

It's a new day.

It's a different era.

I feel like we're in a third world dictatorship or a banana republic.

I have to tell you,

it is ⁇ I said to my family last night, I think this is the beginning of the end or a new beginning.

It's one of the two, but

we're now here.

Depending on what we do from here, we'll decide whether the republic survives.

Would you agree with that?

I would agree.

And Joe Biden can't hide in a basement on this.

Look,

the left sort of fantasizes, and the right was guilty of this, I think, for a while until they woke up, that the DOJ is some independent fourth branch of government.

The Attorney General is the head of the DOJ.

He works for the president.

There's not a fourth branch of government.

If it did exist, it would be unconstitutional.

You have to be able to get some recourse or redress at the ballot box if this executive branch agency

goes rogue, which to me, either either they've gone rogue or

Biden's not owning up to everything he knows about this, or maybe he's just got dementia and the people running the place aren't owning up.

I mean,

it's a remarkable statement that he wouldn't have been informed.

You don't, this is, this is the first time in American history this has happened.

And you don't do this lightly.

Even I, I mean, I mean, I'm, Thomas, I'm a recovering alcoholic,

you know, radio rodeo guy.

I mean, I know nothing, and I know you don't do this unless you're going to come out with a big bag of bodies, really.

You don't do this.

That's right.

You've got to, I've, I've racked my brain trying to think of what they could produce that would justify what they have done.

If, if this is, if there's some minor document infraction here,

the equivalent of an overdue library book this is off the charts crazy

um and why can't you just send people why can't you just work through the lawyers on this right you know whenever they do a raid whoever it is when it's unannounced or surprise visit it's usually for the drama of it

it's to start the prosecution in the public sphere

but they've been doing that

only

for five years now six years That's all they've been doing is trying him in public.

There is no trial because there are no facts on anything.

This isn't about, you know, the first, when I first heard about it, people were, you know, tweeting, oh, this is about January 6th.

Then you find out, no, not about January 6th.

It's about the Library of Congress, I'm sorry, the National Archives wanting some documents back.

Hold it.

Do you remember a server with emails?

We didn't do this to Hillary Clinton, and we didn't do it it for a reason.

And quite frankly, I don't necessarily agree with the reason, but there is a reason for not kicking down the door of your political opponent.

Very dangerous.

Yeah, I was on the oversight committee when James Comey, who was the FBI director, testified there that this was okay, that Hillary Clinton had done this and made every excuse in the world for not recommending prosecution as as if it were up to him to decide.

But any case, I remember all that very, very vividly.

And now I'm on the Judiciary Committee, and

that's where this oversight, I believe, is going to be unless they set up some special committee.

And the DOJ has got some explaining to do on this one.

So

what's your day like today?

I assume most stuff has gone out of the window.

Can the GOP do anything

about this?

Aaron Powell, we have a conference call in about an hour that was previously scheduled.

I'm sure the topic has changed now to this.

I hope it has if they've got a clue.

If they're listening to the news, if they've got anything rattling around in their brain, they've changed the topic of that phone call to this.

This is because it's a new day.

It's a new day for our country.

That's terrifying.

I'm trying to find

an end game for the Democrats on this

because my guess is, like everything else, they have nothing, but they're just going to use this as yet another log on the fire to insinuate and to make him look guilty.

They're making him into a martyr, a symbol, which is much

worse for them than just a Republican

who says crazy things.

They're making him into a symbol.

And I'm trying to think the only end game that seems reasonable to me is that

they are trying to provoke a response from the American people,

some sort of a violent response, which would be horrendous.

I cannot tell you, if you're listening, how horrible, you know, how horrible that would be.

I agree.

This could be some part of a plan to change the outcome of the election that's coming up.

I say this is part of an insurrection that started in 2016 when Donald Trump won the election.

And it's an insurrection internal of the government to reject the body is rejecting the body being the government, rejected the leader for five years, and it's gone on two more years since then because they're terrified that he he would come back.

Well,

how do you, I mean, the end game, let's just say that they are just trying still just to try to get him

and

they make it.

We make it without any kind of incident to November.

And this will only incentivize and charge people on the right

to go out through

the fires of hell to go out and vote for the Republicans.

How do you see this working out positively for the Democrats?

How do they see that?

I can't see it.

And you're right.

The base will crawl through broken glass to vote in November because of this.

But also, I think, I mean, I hope

you've got some independents who,

in a lot of elections,

everybody's got their base and it's a turnout game for that.

But in the middle, there are people, believe it or not, who don't know which way they're going to vote in November.

And I believe this could influence them to say, wait, this government is out of control.

We don't do this in America.

In 250 years, we've not done this.

The IRS hiring 87,000 new agents,

by the time you combine the old agents with the new agents, you're almost at the numbers of the American National Guard.

That's frightening.

You're also at about the number of people they've kicked out of the military.

In my opinion, they're sort of transitioning from an outwardly focused military to an inwardly focused military in the executive branch.

We just, in the Judiciary Committee, the Democrats passed a so-called assault weapons ban, but they call them weapons of war now.

And they exempted from the ban 80-plus executive agencies.

So I offered an amendment to take Department of Education and the USDA, the Department of Agriculture, off the list of

agencies that can have these weapons of war.

The Democrats, that's their word, weapons of war, not mine.

And all the Democrats voted to make sure that the Department of Education and the U.S.

Department of Agriculture can have these so-called weapons of war.

Now, I'll add to that, by the way, IRS is one of those 80-plus agencies front and center, and they've bought almost a million dollars worth of ammunition this year.

But they are one of those agencies who can own these, quote, weapons of war.

Now, the reality is they're not weapons of war, but the Democrats think they are, and they want their agencies to have them.

And they want to increase their ranks by 87,000 in the IRS alone.

And their budget is $80 billion.

They're going to shake down billionaires.

You'd have to get a billion dollars out of 80 billionaires to make their budget make sense.

They're going to go after people who are mowing grass and selling Tupperware to try and make ends meet is what what they're going to do.

This is all just part, and I think the destruction of

Donald Trump is part of this.

This seems, at least it plays out in my mind, as all great reset, ESG, you'll own nothing in seven years and you'll like it.

I mean, when you actually say that goal out loud, that by 2030, you'll own nothing and you'll like it, that people won't give their stuff up in seven years.

You have to impoverish them.

That's right.

And, you know, I did the math for Secretary Budegig and our Transportation Committee and explained to him that

in mathematical engineering terms, that the grid can't handle their electric car goals that Biden signed an executive order to meet.

And what I came to realize, Glenn, they don't want you to drive an electric car.

They don't want you to drive.

I know.

That's why they were unconcerned about the lack of capability of the grid to power all these electric cars.

There's actually no plan for that.

They would, I mean, the laptop class has no problem with this because they can stay at home and as long as they can go on vacation on a jet plane.

But for rural America, we have to get in a car and drive to work.

This is going to be crippling.

And the way they're trying to achieve it, some of them occasionally commit candor.

Candor

is an offense in Washington, D.C.

But they occasionally commit candor and they say they want $10 a gallon gasoline.

I live in a small town of about 400 people and in the summer in Idaho at our ranch.

It takes me 45 minutes to get to the grocery store.

How will these electric cars work

for people who cannot afford them or we don't have the electricity?

The entire center of the country breaks down.

It does break down.

And you just can't afford them.

I mean, look, I've got an electric car.

I've had it for eight years, actually, almost 10 years.

It wasn't cheap.

I should have bought stock in the company instead of buying the car because now the car is worth a third of what I paid.

And I'd be multi-millionaire if I'd bought stock instead of the car.

But anyways,

that notwithstanding, you can't force people into these decisions.

And subsidizing $50,000 cars is not taking care of the middle class.

That's the joke about the

I call it the Inflation Enhancement Act.

They are doubling down on a Green New Deal,

which is what has contributed to inflation in the transportation sector, the energy sector,

the ESG, like you said.

All of it.

All of it.

One last question.

We're talking to Thomas Massey from Kentucky.

Do you think that the action last night will finally be something that we could get the Republicans together and they can all go, we're dealing with a different kind of party here.

This is not the Democratic Party.

This is a Marxist, reckless party.

And we are going to hold them accountable for their actions.

I would hope so.

And here's how we do it.

If the listeners want a roadmap,

we're not going to be in the White House, but we're going to be in the majority.

And we write the spending bills.

And we have to defund this activity.

It's the only lever we have.

People say, well, if you do this, Joe Biden won't sign the bill.

I guarantee you, Joe Biden is going to sign the spending bill.

Every president since the beginning of this country has signed the spending bill Congress sent them.

It may shut down a week or two or even a month, but they eventually sign the bill.

So there's one bill, and it should actually be separate bills.

There's supposed to be 12 separate bills, and that's what we should do.

There's 12 bills the president will sign, whether it's part of an omnibus or separately, and that's where we do our work.

Congress needs to take the purse strings back and cut the funding

for ⁇ I would start with the IRS.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it, Thomas Massey.

But in a close second would be the ⁇ well, I just defund all of them.

Anyway, Patriot Mobile, if the World's Economic Forum has anything to say about it, there is going to come a glorious day in the not-too-distant future when you don't have to pay a cell phone bill anymore.

Great.

Well, I mean, you won't have a cell phone, but, you know, or anything else for that matter.

But you'll like it.

You'll like it.

In the meantime, when you do have to pay that phone bill and you have a phone,

stop getting kicked in the teeth.

Getting kicked in the teeth with all of the additional fees and how expensive it is, but also getting kicked in the teeth because some part of your bill goes to leftist causes if you're with one of the big mobile companies.

Not so with Patriot Mobile.

I want you to check them out.

I can't recommend them highly enough.

I am on Patriot Mobile.

Do you remember when we first, I think, went into Afghanistan?

And we named it, it was a really great name for an operation, but it was like, you know,

Operation Crusade or something like that.

It was something that Muslims would have found offensive.

And everybody went crazy.

Don't say that.

Don't say that.

That'll just inflame the situation.

So he didn't.

We have a president who is telling us that the most dangerous terrorists are Trump supporters.

And you just went in and

busted down the door of the house.

You went in on a raid, which was unnecessary for apparently very little.

What president would think that was a good idea?

No, no, no.

Let me go to this.

What attorney general wouldn't at least call the president and say, We're gonna do this, but I wanna give you a heads up because it's controversial.

No one's ever done it before.

I don't buy this story from them one bit, one iota.

What's their end game?

Other than to inflame the right.

This is the Glenback program.

Hello, America.

In the

next 47, 48 minutes, I am

going to share something with you that...

You know, you always know when it's something you're supposed to do because you're like, I don't want to do that.

No.

No, I don't want to do that.

I'm going to do that.

I'm going to give you a message that I think

I need to hear, at least,

on a day like today, when America has deeply changed.

I don't care who you voted for.

I don't care who you think is right or wrong.

We deeply and dramatically changed yesterday.

So, what is it that we're fighting for?

What is it that we're trying to do?

What?

Who are we, even?

That answer in 60 seconds.

I don't doubt that we are in a war of ideas with the left, and the winners of that war will determine whether this nation stands or falls.

I think it is fair to say,

as I said earlier today, that I believe now this is the official

beginning of the end.

We are in the last chapter, and how we behave from here on out is going to decide whether America, the experiment, is over or if it renews itself.

It is that clear, this is where we are.

One of the things that we have to do if we want to survive is make sure our children

history.

History is so important.

Maybe we'll talk about it tomorrow.

There is a new book out from the Tuttle Twins.

It's America's History, 1215-1776.

Please get this book.

They've got a fantastic offer for you and your kids.

It includes an audiobook version and workbooks, but hurry because it's not going to last much longer.

It's America's History.

It is a great history book that is not like a, it's just not a bad,

you know, progressive education.

It's not that.

As I drive in every day,

I

try to think,

What is it you want me to say?

What is it

I should say today?

And as I was driving in,

a song came to mind.

And I thought I was just supposed to share this song with you,

but

as it played, as I was getting ready for the show, I realized it's more than just that.

It is

a question we have to answer:

Why did we come here in the first place?

Why did we come here?

What are we doing here?

Why would people explore the West?

Why would people risk their lives to go in the middle of the wilderness, the middle of the prairies, and they would get in their wagons and they would just go?

Why?

It certainly wasn't

safe.

And the average person, you'll you'll never convince me that a good majority,

even 20%, just did it because they wanted to go rape the land and the indigenous people.

That's not who we are.

The Indian wars were just that, the Indian wars, and who caused those problems, usually.

Who gets us into war?

We're looking at a global war right now.

Possibility of a global war with Russia and China.

Did you do that?

Because I didn't do that.

I didn't want a war with China.

I don't want a war in Ukraine.

I don't want one with Russia.

I think that's insanity.

Yet we are somehow or another paying for it right now.

Did you do that?

No, the people in Washington did that.

They're not a reflection of us, and they aren't in the worst times of America.

When a government forgets that it was instituted among men to protect the rights given to her citizens by an almighty God, they always

go wrong.

And we have, I fear, gotten much worse.

Not since the Civil War has half our country gone mad with the idea of power over another group of human human beings.

And that's really truly what we're looking at.

The other group, you can do it when you believe the other group is somehow less intelligent or because of the color of their skin or they deserve it.

Or in the most outrageous case, they're better off, you know, being shackled by us because we know what's better than they do.

We know what's best for them.

They just don't get it.

That's what we're doing.

That's what we're fighting over right now.

Do you have the right to run my life?

It brings me back to the question: why did we come here in the first place?

And why did people explore and risk their lives and their family to come here?

This

is the stanza I want you to hear.

For heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life.

Do those people exist?

Is anyone striving to be that person?

We

lose

everything in this song and everything that you might feel stirring inside of yourself, hopefully it's not dead.

We lose all of it if we don't strive to be those people.

We the people of the United States,

in order to form a more perfect union,

to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity,

do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

And thou

live

season,

dear Lord Almighty,

the Creator of heaven and earth,

we cry out to you as a nation and ask for your blessings, your forgiveness, and your advice.

Please, dear Lord,

forgive us for what we have done.

Grant us a new beginning.

Grant us peace.

Grant us vision beyond the years.

We cannot do it without you, Lord.

We've tried, and we just keep coming up short.

Please

bring peace to our hearts and to our country.

And we ask for these blessings

in the name of the Almighty,

the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

If someone showed you a list of all the places on the internet your personal information goes every single day,

Truly off-the-grid is almost impossible in our tech-dependent world, and the internet is filled with cyber thieves.

It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting all of our lives.

We do everything online right now.

There is coming a time where there will be no privacy.

There will be nothing unknown.

Right now, we need ways to protect ourselves.

So, what is the most important thing I could share with you today?

That was my question.

What do you need to hear?

Why we came here in the first place.

Nobody risks their life

and their family's life

for what?

Just a piece of land?

See, that's what people will say.

We came here for the land.

No, we didn't.

We didn't.

We didn't come here for the gold.

Some did.

And that always leads to perversion and death.

People came here not just to be free, to worship,

but they also came for a chance.

This was the only place in the world

that you, the average person, could own your own stuff.

All these people were coming from all over the world

with all kinds of rules from the elites that knew better.

You can't swim.

You can't swim in the river.

Why?

Because I say you can't.

Okay, well, I have an invention and maybe I can get rich off it.

No, it's mine.

You invented it on my land.

You work for me.

It's mine.

Well, can I buy someone?

No.

This was the only place you could own

yourself, your ideas, your own land and chart a future.

That is what got people in.

Have you ever driven across this country?

Just think about the Missouri River or the Mississippi River.

Driving over that on a bridge, just driving across this country, going 70 miles an hour the whole time,

it's enormous.

It's insane to even drive it now.

That's why everybody flies.

Imagine doing that at about three miles an hour with your kids.

In the back of your covered wagon, if that, and you're bringing your milk cow along, and don't have a bridge to cross those rivers.

And by the way, if you're not robbed and raped by some bad cowboy,

you could get hatcheted and scalped or brought into slavery by the Native Americans.

Wow, that doesn't sound like something I'm signing up for.

But, honey,

we'll be able to be ourselves.

We'll have control of our own life.

We will have a space we can call ours.

That's why we came here.

And this experiment,

that

what we do in the next few months

will decide whether this grand experiment

of whether or not men can rule themselves or they must be ruled over,

that grand experiment, that's the experiment,

depending on what we do right now, will mean that experiment has a new life or it is over.

We are not by any means

guiltless.

We are not by any means

a nation that only does good.

We're not.

But that's what is unique.

It was the first in the world.

And the world is headed back to serfdom.

With elites controlling every aspect of everything.

And they are telling you you will own nothing and be happy.

I'm sorry.

Maybe some will.

But I won't be.

You might be.

That's good for you to choose that then.

That's good.

But you're taking away the right

for everyone else to choose something differently.

Why?

Because you think

shackling me to your truth

is best for me because you know better than me

maybe you do but

we're not going to be friends we'll be i'll be a slave to you in one form or another i'm a slave to your ideals and your ideas

see this is why we put the constitution together

It's really, it's not complex.

Seven articles.

In it, it delineates the national frame of government.

It carves it out of thin air.

This is what we're going to do.

The first three articles are about separation of powers.

Why did they have the separation of powers?

They put the separation of powers in because they knew people.

This document does not empower rich people.

It empowers the nobodies.

It says we're going to create a government, but we're going to put so many checks and balances in here.

And we know that people with power get greedy.

We know when you put people in power, they can go corrupt easily.

And with a lot of power, they'll go very corrupt.

So, we want to have all three of these branches that are separated.

We're going to have a legislative.

We're going to have in the legislative, we're going to have two houses.

We're going to have one that are the closest to the people, the House of Representatives.

And they're going to have to be voted in every two years

because that's in two years they can do a lot of damage.

So, we're going to give them a really short leash so you can pull that person out at any time.

No, you're not listening to us.

And because they're so close to the people and can be voted out in a heartbeat,

we're going to give them the purse strings

because the purse

that's full of our money.

And if we want people to stop doing something, the first thing you do is shut the money off.

Oh, really?

You're going to go to college and you're just going to drink and party and you're not going to learn anything?

Yeah, guess what daddy's doing?

He's closing his wallet.

That's our Congress.

Then we have a Senate that is supposed to represent each state, not the country, but each state.

What is it that you are supposed to know today from me?

What is it you're supposed to hear?

I think it's our founding documents.

I'll continue in a minute.

I want to urge you to read the Declaration of Independence today.

And read it all, not just the highlights.

Read it all.

Read the, what are called the usurptations, all the things the king did

before they said, okay, we got to break away.

If you are feeling like, oh, we've taken so much, read the usurptations.

Our founders went through a lot

more than what we have gone through.

And we have not, we have an election in November.

I say

you get everybody that has ever said anything like I kind of like freedom get them to the polls

because this is it and without an election you only have civil war and that is not going to be anyone's friend

you know the Bill of Rights is broken up into three sections first one is a safeguard for

for your liberty, for the individual's liberty.

It's It's the first three amendments.

And it's a shackle

on the

government.

It says you can't do these things, can't violate.

Then it's the safeguards of justice, the guardians that stand by to make sure if they try to accuse you of something, that it's done fairly and correctly.

Now, people can go bad and they have.

They have gone bad.

And governments have been corrupt, and police forces have been corrupt.

But it's a more perfect.

We strive to build a more perfect union.

So that means

we can never stop trying to get better.

We're going to ebb and flow.

We're going to get good and bad.

The last time we had these kinds of times was the McCarthy era.

Don't take that from me.

Take that from liberal professor, a guy who voted for Joe Biden.

He said it to me about an hour ago, Alan Dershowitz.

But look at what Alan Dershowitz, the price he is paying now for standing on principle.

He is paying an enormous price.

His friends have abandoned him.

He's no longer respected in half the country.

And half the country that used to hate him now loves him.

That's insanity.

The safeguards of justice, amendments 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, those are the things that we're violating now with Donald Trump.

Because all of that, the Fourth Amendment, is all about search and seizure.

You can't be frisked by a police officer just because.

You can't have a search or seizure of stuff from your property by government officials without a few things happening.

Can't search your car.

Can't just take things.

See, these are the things that are being violated, and they're being violated because someone in the government is so desperate to make this man into a criminal.

And you know because you listened to me.

When they first started going after Donald Trump for the Russia collusion, I said to you,

there's a chance.

I don't know, but there's a chance, and it should be looked into.

Well, it turned out not to be true.

And my staff will even tell you, I told them when we started our investigation, I want you to turn over every single stone.

And we did.

And we did find corruption, but it was corruption coming from Clinton and Biden.

I had no idea we would find that.

I thought we would find stuff on Donald Trump.

We didn't.

And neither did the rest of the media.

And because they can't give him a fair trial,

they'll try him in the public.

That's what yesterday was about.

They're not going to find anything.

They're not going to apologize.

They won't even clear his name.

You watch.

You watch.

It's just to stigmatize.

How many times are they going to do this?

They haven't been able to find all the stuff they said before, so they try him in the court of public opinion.

Then, when that turns out, they try him for something else.

Now we're back to, I guess, Russia and secret documents.

Does double jeopardy even apply?

No, because it's the court of public opinion.

And this is the way the government starts wars.

This is how you start saying, we got to get them Indians.

And because we are so angry and we fear the same thing, have you noticed?

They scream about fascism.

Now, I think there is 10 to 20% of the left, not of the left, 100% of the left.

and about 10 or 20% of Democrats that actually know what they're doing.

The rest are just like, this is crazy.

This is crazy.

And I mean crazy because they look at us and say they're crazy.

And they say that because they're not hearing us.

We're not talking to each other.

We're not actually, look,

you cannot hate somebody when you get to know their story.

And I'm going to put a caveat on that.

I think Hitler, I think I could hear the Hitler story and still hate him.

But

the average person, once you get to know them and you hear, how did you arrive at that conclusion?

Why are you feeling that way?

And you get a chance to talk, not to accuse, not trying to win, but actually talk,

things change.

But is anyone willing to do that now?

Most likely not, because we both think the other is a fascist.

I think there's pretty good evidence

that a group of people that are building

an army of IRS agents

might be headed towards the fascist direction, the one that violates, like they did yesterday in Mar-a-Lago, a principle that we have had forever.

This is, have we not had dirty presidents before?

Have we never had a corrupt official in government before?

Of course we have.

Of course we have.

Some of the most corrupt presidents,

you wouldn't believe how corrupt they were.

Did we ever go in and search

and seize things in their homes after they were out, while they were still being active and might run for president again?

Never!

Never.

And if you did, you better have a damn good reason for doing it.

If they find a dead body or they find some secret spy ring that, you know, Trump is calling into Russia with,

okay.

But if it's some documents,

no,

I think to be a law, to be a country, we have to have laws

that are not of men,

a country of laws,

not of men.

They should have been applied equally.

And

I'm not saying,

oh,

yeah, but look what they did.

I'm saying, no,

look what's being passed up.

You've been a witch hunt of this man.

And this is why it's so important.

They've done a witch hunt on this man, while left evidence, video evidence of crack and hooker and backroom deals,

they deny any of that.

The system does.

And yet they are trying to destroy this guy.

And so they will do whatever they have to do.

You're already seeing the beginning of this in your life.

When they can't use the system to put you in jail, that's why it's coming through the IRS, I guarantee you.

When they can't get you to toe the line and you haven't committed any crimes, because they'll put you in jail, but they can't do that, overwhelm the system if they're trying to put everybody in jail.

So they take the first step, and that is scare the hell out of you.

Make sure you know you're going to lose all your friends.

You're going to lose your prestige.

You might lose your job.

You'll lose your kids.

Might be pariahs in schools.

I don't want to cause any problems for my kids.

Good, then just behave.

Shut your mouth.

They're doing this.

That is what dictators do.

And then they get most of the people to shut up because they're afraid.

And then they take the final people out, the people who are like, you know what?

I ain't sitting down.

Those people are either disappeared, shut up, put in jail.

Something happens to those people.

Nelson Mandela.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

We have to know our rights.

We have to know what we're fighting for.

And we have to fight at the ballot box November.

We are so close.

We are so close.

And they are going to do everything they can

to get you so mad you're blind with rage.

I'm telling you the most effective weapon and this is why they're doing it is the ballot box.

They're trying to get you to strike back before the November November election.

Vote their asses out.

Put people of character in that when they say they'll protect and defend the Constitution, they'll actually do it.

This could be a landslide election.

I've tried to figure out in the last 24 hours what is the end game here?

What do you think you're going to get by doing this?

Only thing I can think of is they're trying to poke a bear.

Meditate on the teachings of Jesus.

Meditate on the teachings of Martin Luther King.

Meditate on Gandhi.

Read Bonhoeffer.

And I will see you

in November at the polls.

Back in a minute.

So we've talked about a lot of things,

but the fundamentals of America are either going to change or and they're going to change wildly

or they're going to change

by going back to principles.

Either way,

gold and silver would be steady.

Gold will go up if we go back to principles that actually mean something.

And believe me, whether it takes us, you know, a year or 80 years of

living in servitude, eventually the world always comes back to gold, always, because it is the gold standard.

Now, maybe, maybe this election happens and we start putting things back together and people regain their common sense and we go back to gold because, hey,

it's the gold standard and we have to take care of our monetary system.

One way or another, gold is going to play a role in the future, and I want you to be prepared.

Right now, Goldline is bringing back an extremely rare product.

It's been sold out for months.

It is their historic $5 gold liberty coins.

They're going to sell out immediately.

These are historic coins, and ask them, just ask them when you get them on the phone, why I buy these coins.

And as a thank you, Goldline is giving away a pure half-ounce platinum coin with every roll of 20 of the historic $5 gold liberties.

So that's over $600 in retail value free.

Protect your financial future.

Please don't wait.

So, just to give you a little history on what they're actually arguing about, this started with Nixon

control of the secret tapes.

Few people know that he also was fighting a legal battle to control 42 million pages of documents from his presidency.

Unfortunately,

Nixon didn't win.

The secret tapes

weren't released until the Nixon library took the last of the secret tapes and exposed them in 2013.

39 years later, the Lyndon B.

Johnson library,

they didn't release the final batch of his secret tapes and the presidential conversations until 2016.

Do you remember those?

Now, this started to this started to

what Nixon fought for was, I'm not going to release anything.

He got, it can go to my library and they can decide, okay?

But then that started to fall apart

in some degree.

President George Bush issued an executive order that effectively rewrote the Presidential Records Act.

And so it was a measure guaranteeing public access to one that blocks it.

However, it was reversed

and Bush

required historians and others to prove a demonstrated specific need for documents

and everything would, you know, over be overruled by privilege.

So

how often is it that you take 15 boxes out of the White House on your way out?

It's not usual.

It's really not usual.

In fact, the Obama administration took 30 million pages of documents out, and they put them in a empty furniture store near Chicago.

And

they're controlling all of the official records of his time in office rather than the National Archives and Records Administration.

So

30 million documents were taken, 15 boxes.

of documents from this president.

Every president walks out with documents and they go to their library when it's built or to an empty furniture store in Chicago if you're Barack Obama.

Why again 15 boxes of mementos, gifts, personal papers, and maybe

some other presidential documents that should be in the National Archives?

Don't buy it.
