Welcome to the podcast.
Great show today for you.
We have Selena Zito on the show.
She talks about what's really going on on the ground as we approach the November elections.
We have Bill O'Reilly, biggest news stories of the week, his position on the January 6th
show trial, the
Kavanaugh
threats.
We get into that with him.
Michael Malas joins us as well.
And Ryan Kelly, a guy who's running for governor in Michigan who was just arrested because because of his appearance at the January 6th
events.
We will get into all that today.
Don't miss it.
And the podcast, Stu, is brought to you today by Relief Factor.
If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain, get out of pain.
Oh, easy for you to say.
Actually, no.
I mean, it took me about 10 years to find something that actually worked for the pain that I was having, and it was agonizing, and I'm not comparing it to yours.
I'm sure yours is worse.
But I never thought anything like Relief Factor would work.
It works on inflammation, which is
to me the language of bull crap because I've never taken ibuprofen and had it work for me ever.
So, oh, this is going to reduce inflammation.
That'll help you get out of pain.
I didn't buy it for a second.
I tried it because my wife forced me to.
After three weeks, I'm like, I don't think this is really working for me.
And I stopped taking it and I couldn't believe how much pain had already relieved.
And I started taking it again, and it just went, it got better and better and better.
And now I'm out of pain most of the time.
It's fantastic.
It's Relief Factor.
I still take it three times a day.
It's a drug-free, free, and natural way to get your life back.

You're listening to
the best of the Glenbeck program.
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glen Beck program.
I'm your congenial host, Glenbeck.
It's weird because Stu and I are both wearing t-shirts, and
I'm telling you, I think it tells you everything you need to know about Stu and about me.
Really, it does.
It does.
Stu, what's your t-shirt say there on the front?
The t-shirt says Nancy Pelosi.
The t-shirt sucks.
Nancy Pelosi sucks.
What does my t-shirt say?
Love thy neighbor.
Yeah.
I mean, on the back,
it also says unless she's Nancy Pelosi because she sucks.
But I think that's all we need to know.
We have the marching band at the airport in Salt Lake City for your arrival this afternoon.
You're going to come to my art show.
I don't know why, but you want to horn in on everything, I guess.
Yeah, I was recently watching a YouTube video of that Banksy auction where they shredded the paintings, and I was inspired to make a trip.
You think about...
Okay, good.
All right.
Don't know what that means exactly.
Selena Zito is with us.
Selena Zito is - I mean, this is a reporter that actually
gets it because she doesn't sit around in the Capitol and in New York City.
She actually goes out and talks to people, regular people.
So she has her finger on the pulse better than I think
anybody else in the media.
Selena, how are you?
Good morning, Sunshine.
I'm swell.
How are you?
You are swell.
I haven't heard anybody use the word swell in quite some time.
By the way, Selena, you can find all of her work at selenazito.com.
Selena.com is where you can go and find her work.
Selena, I was reading an article that you did a couple of days ago,
the rhetoric versus realism at the pump.
And
you just had such a great handle on things.
I wanted to talk to you a little bit about that, but also along with January 6th and this thing that happened last night, do people care about this?
You know,
I didn't even know.
So, like, part of being a reporter that you've been with somewhere,
I didn't even know it was happening
until one of my colleagues said, Hey, are you going to watch the hearings tomorrow tonight?
And I said, What hearings?
And they said the January 6th hearings.
I'm like, Why is it on prime time?
That literally makes no sense unless it's going to be a spectacle.
And then I concluded that it's going to be a spectacle.
And I'm like,
spectacle, Yeah.
Yeah.
Seeing that it was produced by a guy who has produced television for ABC, you know, it kind of a giveaway.
So, Selena, what is actually going on in the country as you go across and talk to individuals?
What are they actually thinking about everything that's going on right now?
Well, what is interesting, and again, people can check out everything I do at SelenaDazito.com, but
because I have three full-time jobs.
But so
no matter what your political party is, the same concerns are across the board
with regular folks.
And what do I mean by regular folks?
Folks that aren't involved in politics either for a profession or because they have an illness and they have to watch it all the time.
But, you know, people, I mean, there isn't a time that I don't pull up to a gas station, which, by the way, is all the time because I'm always on a back road, where you don't hear someone cuss at an inanimate object, meaning the gas pump.
Because
the average cost now to fill up an average car is about $100.
You know, that takes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
I put
three gallons of gas in my car yesterday.
Three gallons, and it cost me over $18.
And
a word that shouldn't follow the word holy
was uttered at that pump.
But I mean,
I looked at that and I thought that this is insanity.
Insanity.
How are people doing it?
It is.
Well, they aren't.
So it's so what people are doing to sort of fake pretend that they're not getting gouged is that they'll only put 20 gallons, $20 worth in their tank.
And like, well, this is it for the week.
And if I can't get where I need to go with 20 gallons, I'm not going anywhere.
But
it's not that they're trying to not face reality.
They just have to find a way to manage reality.
And that's
what it's come down to.
So the other thing I think is really important for people to understand is the impact of the cost of diesel.
Because diesel is how we get everything that we want in our hands every day, whether it's food, whether it's our order from Amazon or Rayfair or
the fresh vegetables that we want from a farm or any of the energy that we need to heat our house or light our home, all come is derived from diesel.
So what does that mean?
Everything in our lives costs a lot more because diesels, if you think gas is insane in the number so is diesel but the other things that the thing that people are really deeply concerned about is crime crime in in the and and not just in New York not just in Chicago not just in Washington DC by the way if you follow the scanners from any of those cities it's just it's like a horror movie but you know you know cities across the country the crime wave is insane and a lot of that has to do with two years ago starting to sort of place police officers on a lower tier of importance and significance in our lives and and and the direct result is that that the police are literally have their hands tied behind their back in the things that they pursue and criminals know that and they literally get away with stealing things right from underneath you knowing that there are no consequences
and
Wait, wait, and here's another point on this.
There's a story out today.
Michigan County limits in-person response to 911 calls after blowing through their gas budget.
So now here we are in the middle, are we even in the middle of
June, and they've already blown through their gas budget.
So now don't call the cops because they can't come.
That's astounding.
It's like Ghostbusters.
The streams have crossed.
So not only can't the police departments afford the gas, they can't send the police out to respond.
You know, and the other thing, and I think we really miss the significance of this, but
when people in the news, in particular in the news organizations that don't cover the crisis at the border, they think of it as
sort of this racist reaction to people of different colors or different
places of origin coming to their country, and that's why they don't want them crossing illegally.
That is not.
Most Americans understand
that innate drive to want to be American and be free.
However, what is also coming across the border is crime and drugs, fentanyl, meth.
And where does fentanyl and meth coming from?
It's coming from China and it goes to South America and it goes to Mexico and then it comes not just to
cities, but it's coming to suburbs.
It's not just a white Appalachian problem anymore.
The city of Philadelphia, which is majority, minority, has the highest rate of overdose deaths due to fentanyl and meth than any other city in the country.
That is now just not a white Appalachian problem.
That is a problem that is affecting everyone.
So let me ask you, when will the, or are they already?
I saw some of the poll numbers
with 18 to 24-year-old adults, he said Biden is at 20%.
Hispanics, record lows for Democrats, and same with blacks.
When do the American people know
that this gas price is not because of Vladimir Putin?
It is because of ESG and these energy decisions that the financial sector and the Biden administration and the left have made?
When are they going to tie together the food shortages and the diesel shortages and the crime?
When are they going to say enough is enough of these kinds of crazy policies?
Oh, they already know that.
The press just doesn't think they know that.
That's the funny thing.
It reminds me so much of 2010 when I was following that midterm election and the Democrats held power.
And
John Boehner, God bless him, he said the most simple thing.
He said, turned around and said, when someone said, what is this, you know,
what are you Republicans all about?
And he just turned around and just sort of flippantly said, where are the jobs?
And it is as simple as that.
You know, there is a midterm election of historic
proportions that happened, I think it's 1892 or 94.
I can't remember.
I did do a great,
unless I shouldn't say my story is great.
I did a great analysis of that midterm election where Democrats lost 130 seats.
130 seats.
So I'm not saying,
I'm not, y'all can go check it out at Selenazito.com.
But the similarities between what was happening in America then and what is happening in America now are extraordinarily similar.
So I think that all of these charts, all of these guesses, all of these, you know, new, this leans right, this leans left, all of them are not going to capture
the amount,
the breadth of the wave that the Democrats are going to feel in November.
They're just not.
They don't understand.
And part of the problem is,
if you go ahead.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm on a delay, so please just keep going.
If you try to interrupt, just keep going.
Well, finish your thought.
Finish your thought.
Well, I think the largest part of the problem is
that
reporters and Democrats and even Republicans don't understand how big this is because oftentimes they're not having conversations with people in real time in their real lives.
And people are not always completely honest with a politician or a reporter,
especially one that's from New York or D.C., because they don't want their name in print, because they don't want people coming after them on social media.
So they say nothing,
or they just shrug.
But if you really know people and understand people, which is what I do, not because I'm spectacular, but because I live in the middle of Appalachia, right?
People have a sort of sense of trust of someone who shares their values.
And it's going to be monstrous.
Wow.
All right, Selena, we need to talk again probably next week because I learned so much from you, and I just love your articles.
You're just very insightful, and you use history to show the parallels.
And I'm going to go back and read that about the election of, what was it, 1894?
Which one was it?
It was Grover cleveland cleveland's second term midterm his that midterm election
was it the uh was it the silver election the one that was about the yeah silver
yes silver was part of that it was 1894
it was 1894 that's right because it was right before the year that william jennings bryant ran for president in 96.
Yep.
Okay.
Thank you so much, Selena.
I appreciate it.

If you really want a handle on what people are actually thinking that you're not seeing in mainstream media,
read Selena Zito.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
Well, I don't really know if it's America's favorite
anarchist because I don't know how many anarchists there are in the running.
But Michael is my favorite anarchist and the host of Your Welcome, a great, great podcast.
You can find wherever you get your podcast or michaelmalice.com.
Michael, how are you, sir?
I am absolutely fantastic.
Good morning to you.
So the biggest story of the week for you was what?
Well, there's a few things, but certainly the attempt on Brett Kavanaugh's life and the fact that this has been swept on the rug by the corporate press, and especially in the context of Senator Schumer's comments about that there's going to be consequences for their behavior.
It's just amazing, and you and I talk about this constantly, how overnight narratives just switch off and on when it suits the purposes of the enemy class and when it doesn't.
Sarah Palin very famously, you know, was suing the New York Times because they alluded to the fact that she used used language like crosshairs as a metaphor to encourage people to shoot.
And obviously, Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords was shot
later, not as a consequence.
But here where there's a kind of a dynamic connection, New York Times puts it on page A20.
And remember, here's the thing, I will remind people.
New York Times on page A1, Above the Fold, which is the best real estate, had an article about some kid from West Virginia, watched Ben Shapiro videos, and then became radicalized, and then became unradicalized.
So that's front and center, Supreme Court Justice, life in danger, 820.
I've never seen anything like it, Michael.
And, you know, I think that's why the January 6th hearings fall so flat, because they are trying to make this
mountain out of this.
And I think if they would have reacted
logically, because I think everybody was outraged by that.
If they would have reacted logically and
consistently
like they're acting now with January 6th with BLM, I don't want anybody to serve more jail time or less jail time.
I want them to serve the jail time they deserve, if any, if they're breaking the law.
And there's no credibility on this January 6th thing except for the left because it's their narrative.
It's what they want.
And I think the other side is saying, look, you have no credibility at all because you are not only dismissing BLM, you've also this week dismissed a threat on Kavanaugh's life.
I think they're freaking out going into the midterms because there are very little things to run on.
I'm specifically showing my age and remembering very vividly in 2006 when Elizabeth Dole, who had been senator at the time, was head of the Republican Senate Committee.
And she was arguing for why people should vote Republican in the midterms.
And her argument basically was, well, George W.
Bush kept us safe.
They had nothing else to really run on.
And not only were they wiped out, you know, in that off-year election, she herself lost her seat.
This was their last win.
This was the last, oh my God, the right are terrible.
You know, you can't, what can you put on Republicans or conservatives or moderates with the right wing?
Inflation, what's going on in schools, Ukraine?
Go down the list of bad news.
Now, you might say this is Biden's fault and so on and so forth, but you can't blame it on Kevin McCarthy or Mitch McConnell, any of these things.
So I think they're panicking.
I think November is far closer than people realize.
And I don't think they know what else to do.
We're talking to Michael Malis, who is an anarchist, but he's not like a black block.
I'm going to go take a club in the streets and burn down cities.
And it's why we get along.
We disagree on things politically, but a lot of things we agree on, but we both disagree with violence.
I do have that right, right, Michael?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
You're entitled to whatever opinions you want.
Yeah, good, good, good.
I'm just.
All right, good, good.
Just want to make sure.
And
the thing, you know, anarchists from the left that are violent.
And they are,
it's strange, they call themselves
anarchists, but they are actually more communistic in their viewpoints.
And I'm afraid, Michael, that those people have nothing to lose.
They've never been this close.
And this election period and after the election,
if they can't have it, no one will.
Am I misguided?
Yes, I would say that so, because I would say if you compare the damage that all of Antifa and the black bloc people could do if they had their drothers, if you compare that to what the federal government and state governments have been doing to peaceful citizens for the last two years and are still doing now in other countries around the world, vis-a-vis the lockdowns, quarantines, when you have the federal, Antifa would never tell, have the power to tell the Justice Department to investigate parents as domestic terrorists.
So I think, you know,
even if they had
complete machine guns, it would still nowhere come close to the systemic damage that's done by the federal government and agencies like the New York Times, mind you.
So I agree with you.
However, maybe at this level of nuance,
I don't know how exactly to say this, but I think there are anarchists, Marxists, revolutionaries in the government.
And those are the ones I'm more afraid of because they will use people like the black blocks to create and BLM, to create problems on the streets.
but they will only use it to enhance their power,
cause
chaos, cause all kinds of emergencies that only the federal government can fix.
And so they'll step in with their answer.
That's what really frightens me.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And there's historically been room for this.
But I would point out that it was, I believe, in the summer of 2014 when there was a rioting in Ferguson.
And as a consequence of this, the Republicans got bigger congressional majorities than they've had since 1946, I believe.
So, yes, it's always the case that the federal government is more than happy to have unrest in the streets because that is a great excuse to, you know, go after people's guns and things like this, you know, and have all sorts of infringements on liberties because it's something we're taught since we're kids that if bad people are doing things somewhere, therefore it means you personally are going to have to, you know, enjoin restrictions on your freedoms.
It's a complete lie, but that is the claim that we're taught from a very young age.
So, Michael, one other thought here.
I own a ranch in the mountains, and I'm on it right now.
And
every bit of energy is being created by solar and wind power right now.
We have to be very careful, and it has cost
literally hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it.
No regular person could ever afford anything like this.
It's way too expensive.
It's not practical.
You can't really live the life that you are used to.
But it's 100% green and everything else.
And I did that.
I had a choice of running power lines here, and it would have cost me a lot less, but I chose not to take those power lines.
I care about the environment.
I care about independence.
And I believe I'm a good steward of this land and the animals on it.
Now,
there is a split between people who believe in
green energy, believe in, you know, let's help the planet,
be good citizens, and those who are anti-human.
And the
push for green with this administration is, I believe, anti-human.
They will destroy all of society for their goals.
Are people on the left waking up at all on seeing, hey, your gas price, which is going to destroy your economy and our economy,
is happening because of the Green New Deal and the Build Back Better and the ESG stuff?
Well, no, not at all.
And I think people on the right are oblivious to this as well.
I would point out that Margaret Thatcher was the one who introduced global warming into the UK.
Barry Goldwater, who's a...
you know, as conservative as someone you can get, was one of the first people in politics to start talking about environmentalism.
So,
this is why it's a smart move for the Democrats.
And in Europe, the Green parties are getting ascension as the Social Democrats or Labor parties, respectively, are losing power in different parliaments because this is something where there's broad political consensus.
The people who are seeking power don't care about trans people, they don't care about the environment, they don't care about BLM, they care about whatever tool is at their disposal that they can use as a ladder to increase their power, to maintain their power.
So, as long as there is a bipartisan consensus on any given issue, that will be leveraged as an excuse to increase the state at the expense of the common person.
I heard a speech given by
Noah,
I can't remember his name.
He's the futurist that the left loves.
He's
with the World Economic Forum.
He wrote
Homo Sapien.
And I just heard a speech he gave where he said, I'm going to play it on Monday.
He said, and I quote, quote, the real issue here is how we're going to deal with all of these useless humans.
And his suggestion was drugs and video games
because of the future that they are creating right now.
I agree with him that we're going to have problems, but I don't look at people as useless humans.
And that's the problem.
I mean, you can believe in, you know, really taking care of the earth, and you can do it better than I can, and that's fine.
But is there a point to where those people in society start to see this as anti-human and dangerous?
Is there a breaking point?
Well, I agree with him completely that a lot of people are humans, are useless.
I will quote H.
L.
Mencken, the great journalist of the early 20th century, where he said, the existence of most human beings is of absolutely no significance to history or to human progress.
They live and die as synonymously and as nearly uselessly as so so many bullfrogs and house flies.
Anyone can go to any mall,
you know, fast food place, and the people around them are just, especially the cashiers, are worse than useless.
But that does not, and but the thing is,
let me ask one question.
But you don't
do you disagree that Brave New World is a lot closer to reality than 1984?
Yes.
Yes.
You disagree?
I actually think they play into each other.
No, no, no.
I think Brave New World is exactly reality, and I think it eventually turns, you have to have a cage for some.
So I think it's a hybrid.
In the end, it'll be a hybrid of the two.
But the way corporate media manipulates people isn't through threats of violence.
It's through pleasure.
Why is Matthew McConaughey at the White House telling people about their guns?
Because people know him as an actor, and therefore they're emotionally
tend to like what he has to say.
It's complete deception and manipulation, but that is a function of how things work as opposed to threats, far more than the threats.
Right.
And by the way, that's only half the story.
Yesterday, I don't know if you know this.
Yesterday, I told the real reason why he was at the White House.
The guy who spent a million dollars, the Hollywood lawyer that spent a million dollars to bail out Hunter Biden,
is the guy who represents
Matthew McConaughey.
And
so the call came in from the lawyer to Hunter to the White House.
And guess who's there speaking to the press?
Michael, thank you so much.
Any good plans for the weekend?
In an anarchist world, what are those plans?
I finally became an American and bought my first gun this week.
It's a lovely masada from Israeli weapons industry.
So I will be going out and practicing my Second Amendment rights.
Yeah, good for you.
I think everybody,
everyone should own a gun.
And here's the reason.
The government is getting more and more dangerous.
And, you know, I don't know if you read this in Michigan.
The police now have run out of gas money in the budget.
So you call 911.
You have to really prove that they should come.
That's incredible.
That's absolutely amazing.
And I agree with yourself.
You are the first responder.
Amen.
Yep.
Thank you.
Michael Malice.
Amen.
We'll talk to you next week.
Michael Malice, host of Your Welcome.
Follow him at michaelmalis.com or wherever you get your podcast.
The best of the Glen Bank program.
Welcome to the Glen Bank program.
We have an interesting story that broke last night.
And I want to be real honest honest with you.
I'm doing this interview on the advice of a friend who I think is a real spiritual,
locked-in kind of guy who lives in Michigan, and he says he knows our guest, and he vouches for him.
I want you to do your own homework.
I will do my own homework, but I want to make sure this guy has a fair hearing because something smells really wrong in Michigan.
We have Ryan Kelly.
He is a Michigan gubernatorial candidate that yesterday was handcuffed and arrested on a January 6th capital riot charge.
Now that timing seems really coincidental, and it does seem, it feels as though
there are real shenanigans, to put it in the nicest possible terms,
in Michigan to destroy the GOP and anybody that stands against Whitmer.
Let's go to Ryan Kelly now.
Hello, Ryan.
How are you?
I'm doing good today, Glenn.
Thanks for having me join you here today.
It's a beautiful day in West Michigan.
You bet.
We see that.
Tell me what happened yesterday.
So yesterday,
I was arrested by the FBI.
And the timing, as you mentioned, is not a coincidence, right?
This coincides with the J6 hearings that they had yesterday, along along with if you saw the article with Joe Biden talking about he will put his political opponents in jail.
And then this happened.
So it's not a coincidence at all.
They're weaponizing the FBI against me.
They're continuing this wild goose chase.
And Glenn, you know, just like I do, they're not just after me.
They're after all of us that love this country, that love our Constitution, that
want to keep the Republic intact here.
They're coming for all of us.
Okay, so let me ask you some tough questions because I've seen the videotape
and
you are standing in front of a crowd
around some scaffolding and you appear to be directing people into the Capitol
and it is.
I'd like to hear your version of this.
It also says that
you were among the members of the crowd that filed into the Capitol and banged on the door of the legislative chamber, chanting, let us in, lock her up.
Can you help me understand those two things?
So to clarify, I never entered the building.
We'll start there with that.
Number two, you know, there's a lot of things that I want to talk about on this.
There's a lot of different components of the story that we want to share.
But we have to wait till we go through the courts in order to bring the pieces of this story together.
So, you know, I can't make too too many comments on that right now, other than, you know, I never entered the building, and, you know, there's going to be court hearings coming up soon, and we'll be able to share more information in regard to the full story then.
Sure.
Well, I will tell you: if you've never entered the building, that I mean, there's half the case.
The second is
Ray Epps, we have on tape doing far worse.
And they say Ray Epps is
not even a player, of no concern whatsoever.
So how could you be of concern?
Equal protection under the law, right?
There's constitutional clauses in regard to that.
Look, this was an attempt to intimidate me, to intimidate my family, my wife, and my six kids, and to intimidate all of my supporters.
And I'll tell you what, Glenn, the support base has grown
a thousandfold overnight, if not more.
And we will not be intimidated by this.
We are going to continue to move forward to win this primary and win this general election.
You know, this is the Democrats, again, trying to cover up their own disastrous policies.
The American people are struggling with inflation, record high gas prices, record high food prices.
We have a baby formula shortage right now.
We have rising violent crime.
The border's a mess.
And this is the kind of stuff that the Democrats are focused on.
They're not focused on helping the American people.
They're focused on these baseless claims of January 6th.
And the dishonest media continues to perpetuate all of this nonsense and be on their side.
But you know what, Glenn, the American people see right through all of this nonsense, and they want somebody that's going to stand up for our republic.
And so that support has grown substantially across the entire state.
I had a huge group of people from all over the state meet me outside yesterday after I walked out of the courthouse.
It was incredible.
I just can't.
I mean, the timing is just so obvious.
And there's something else, and I don't know much about it,
but you had five
different candidates from the GOP that have been disqualified because of forged signatures on the petition.
What do you know about that?
There was 10 candidates that we had in the race, and those petition signatures disqualified them.
It's another sad day in Michigan because during the 2020 election, our Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, directed the county clerks to not validate the signatures.
Don't worry about looking at the signatures.
But when it comes to all these petitions, they want to scrutinize every single signature because it's a GOP
primary.
And so, you know, again, the dishonest Secretary of State, you know, she's politically biased.
Fraudulent signatures should be investigated by the Attorney General.
Dana Nessel is choosing to do nothing again, go figure.
And, you know, it disqualified those five candidates.
You know, Glenn, I'm the frontrunner in this race now.
The polls are showing.
Ryan Kelly's the frontrunner.
And
my political opponents, they don't like that.
So they're coming after me because they have zero grounds to stand on on actual value that they're adding to the American people and the people here of Michigan.
So, what is the message that we should be hearing
from the people of Michigan?
What is are they, they seem to be kind of okay with what Whitmer did,
you know, at least the left, what Whitmer did during COVID.
I don't think you guys have passed any laws to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Where is it just the energy and the food prices that is really hitting people?
Or what are people actually
feeling and responding to?
Energy prices are hitting us all.
We've shut down a nuclear power plant here in the state of Michigan, which now we're looking at having rolling blackouts throughout the summer.
And the COO of DTE Energy is telling people just to turn their thermostats up, shut their electricity down for their ACs,
and they won't have the rolling blackouts.
So it's not just the gasoline prices, which are now over $5 a gallon, the food prices which continue to rise.
We have energy issues.
Whitmer's talking about wanting to shut down Line 5, which moves petroleum and other natural resources around our state.
You know, the continued corporate welfare handouts, we just handed out $101 million to Ford in cash plus $35 million in property tax
credits in order to bring jobs to the state.
And they just did $700 million to GM not too long ago.
So they're not becoming business-friendly.
They're just handing out big gobs of money everywhere.
And she's hoping that this is going to be enough to buy the election and think that people will forget how she responded throughout 2020.
Glenn, we're not going to forget.
The people of Michigan have had enough.
How did she justify shutting down the nuclear power plant?
How is that justified?
And how is she trying to justify shutting down Line 5?
Because that's a very important
pipeline.
I have no idea where the justification is.
She's one of the most unreasonable people that there is.
Look, I'm a reasonable guy, Glenn.
I understand that families want,
they want to have affordable food.
They want to have affordable resources such as gasoline, heat to
gas to heat their homes.
They want to have the ability to move around the state without threats of business shutdowns.
They want to make sure that their electricity is going to be on.
They want to have a place where they're going to have good employment that's free of racial bias training and these other components that are really plaguing our state and pushing people away.
She's such an unreasonable lady all around.
The means and extremes with her
have really shown.
And I think that the people of Michigan, just like with everything with the arrest yesterday and the J-6 stuff, people are seeing through that.
People see through Whitmer as well.
We're ready for a change here in Michigan.
It's amazing to me that Detroit was one of the main cities that
escaped slaves and then later after the Civil War,
former slaves moved up to
because they were safe there.
It was a very homogenized city.
There weren't a lot of real problems
until
right around the time that the Democrats took one of the greatest cities in America, Detroit, and took control about 1950 something, 1960.
And now all of a sudden, all these race problems, such poverty,
it's a disaster up there.
Just a disaster.
And it's sad to watch.
And that's happening nationwide right now.
Look at the policies that Biden's enacting.
Look at the things that we see happening around our country.
What you're speaking about that happened in Detroit is happening to America.
Democrat policies are disastrous in every way you can think of.
And
they're trying to grasp for straws for political power.
They champion on
their little left-wing groups going out and threatening the Supreme Court justices, burning down of our cities, the Antifa, the BLM.
By their very nature,
the Democrats and the left-wing
political spectrum
is nothing but society falling apart.
Look at the transgenderism that they're wanting to push on our children.
We want to take healthy children and give them
hormone-blocking medications.
Normal, reasonable people don't want this, Glenn.
We don't want these radical, left-wing, extreme ideologies being pushed on our children, destroying their lives, the critical race theory pushed in our schools.
Look, I'm just, I'm a dad.
I'm a husband.
I got six children.
I'm just a regular American.
I'm a reasonable guy that wants our country back, which is why I'm running for governor.
And
we're going to make that happen here in Michigan.
And just like when Detroit was a leader around the nation before the Democrats took over, We can make Michigan be that leader to bring that idea of our republic, our Constitution, freedom, prosperity back to our great country.
That's what people want.
That's what I bring to the table.

I look forward to the explanations and your day in court.
I will tell you,
I think it's hysterical that
in the state of Detroit, they thought arresting you yesterday and hauling you away in handcuffs would work to discredit.
I mean, I think that actually makes politicians' poll numbers go up usually in places like Detroit.
Ryan, thank you.
Thank you so much.
God bless you.
