Transcript

Welcome to the podcast.

Today we talk to Senator Rand Paul.

He's on the show to talk about his race where he's running against someone who has released an ad with his head in a noose.

Not Rand Paul's head, but his own head in a noose.

Just despicable.

Then we have Michael Schellenberger on, who is running for governor of California.

He's an independent running in this race.

The primary is actually tomorrow.

And what's interesting about him is, obviously, it's California.

Democrats usually win in California, blah, blah, blah.

We know that.

Well, Gavin Newsom's terrible and we don't want him to win.

Michael Schellenberger, however, is an alternative to Gavin Newsom

from the sense that

everyone in California who knows politics there saying he's the one guy who can actually beat Gavin Newsom.

He's an independent and but is sensible.

You wouldn't agree with him on every topic, but there's a lot you do agree with him on.

He's going to go through some of that today.

Five stars is the appropriate number of stars.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Balenback program.

Well, hello, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

You know,

I didn't get a good chance to bring the grandkids to the drag queen show for children at the gay bar in Dallas, so I'm a little upset about that.

Yeah, I will say it was really, really good.

They did a great job.

I thought the Encore was honestly better than the main set.

They really, they turned on.

Really?

Yeah,

everybody that was there was really

appreciative.

And I admire those parents that

said, hey, hey, we're not old-fashioned.

We're not, hey, olds.

You know, look at us.

We're part of this new trend that is sexualizing our children at four.

And I think the strength and the power of those parents should be applauded.

Yeah.

I think the main issue here is why, why over and over again are the American people requiring drag queens to wait until four years old to dance in front of them?

You know, they

thank you.

Thank you.

You can go way younger than that.

Have you ever, you know, those

mobiles that are like in the

crib?

Why are they elephants and giraffes and not drag queens?

You know, that's just.

I don't know, but I'm just, I'm so glad.

I'm so glad that we're here now because I did bring my grandson.

He's almost six.

I brought him to a strip club over the weekend.

And, man, he was putting dollar.

dollar bills into her panties like crazy.

It was great.

It was great.

He's, I'm raising him right, Stu, you know, raising him right.

Yeah, although you're indicating a potential future in a straight relationship, which that is

he's identified as a girl.

Okay, okay.

No, he's identified as a girl, so it's okay.

It was a lesbian thing that was happening there.

Now, the government is very, very concerned about what happened on January 6th,

and they have turned to some help to make sure that America will really, truly understand what's going on.

They've turned to a former network news executive to hone a mountain of, quote, explosive material into a captivating multimedia presentation for a prime time hearing Thursday.

Then the love boat.

You have James Goldston.

He's the guy that they've called.

He's the former president of ABC News and

a master documentary storyteller who ran Good Morning America and Nightline.

And he has now joined the Committee of Un-American Activities on January 6th as an unannounced advisor.

Now,

if you say to yourself, gee,

making this into a prime time special

and hyping it like this

and having an ABC producer and former president that ran Good Morning America, that sounds like propaganda.

No.

No.

He says it has to be raw enough so skeptical journalists will find the material fresh and chew over the disclosures in future coverage.

Now, I don't know who those skeptical journalists might be.

I haven't seen them.

He also wants it to draw the eyeballs of Americans who haven't followed the ins and outs of the Capitol riot probe.

So he says it's going to be a mix of live witnesses and pre-produced video.

And at the end, you can vote on a special 1-900 number.

The committee has gained access to the official White House photographs from January 6th that have never been seen publicly.

we will open Donald Trump's vault.

Geraldo Rivera will be there to open it up.

Now,

I mean, I don't, you know, I, of course, think this is a great idea, you know, to, you know, make our hearings into a primetime made-for-TV special.

Who could think that's a problem?

But I just want to point out this guy has deep, deep experience on

knowing what America needs to see and not see.

For instance,

he was the guy, apparently, that said,

Epstein, what Epstein stories?

We don't need your stinking Epstein stories here.

He was the guy that,

yeah, kind of buried that for ABC.

Remember that being kind of a problem?

In a letter, ABC News president James Goldston, the guy that

we were just talking about,

wrote, they're deeply concerned that this victim in search of justice went to ABC News.

I'm sorry, it was a letter to him from McCarthy.

He said the victim that went in search of justice went to ABC News, provided information and an interview, and then ABC News, under the direction of James Goldston, decided to bury the truth about Epstein.

Did you see, by the way, what

Elon Musk said about Epstein?

He's asking some questions about that.

Not that anyone could have any questions about how that's been handled.

Oh, no, of course not.

Yeah, why do you think he's got those questions, Stu?

I've got an answer and I'd love to hear yours.

I don't know why he's

bringing it up at this very moment, per se, though, you know, considering he's getting really escalated criticism from many of the people who

were around Jeffrey Epstein when, of course, he was alive back in those days.

Those people seem to be highly critical of Elon.

Like whom?

Like, is there any one person that might jump to

the head of the class on that one?

Who do you think?

I don't know.

I mean, he was so intent.

He was was so intent on that.

Just throwing a name out.

Just throwing a name out, Bill Gates.

He's been very, very critical of

Elon Musk

and seems to be leading the charge against him.

And he also was the guy whose wife said, I can't live with you anymore, scumbag, because of what you were doing with Epstein.

And the media, of course, responded, Epstein?

What Epstein?

Who's that?

What are you talking about?

He's great.

Look at him.

He's a philanthropist.

I have a feeling Elon Musk is just

raking him over the coals.

This is all targeted towards him.

That's true, because Gates was one of the stranger associates with Epstein.

He praised him publicly many times.

He visited with him more often than almost anyone else.

You know, when it comes to the high profile people it was it was uncomfortable when

when you're on the plane more than bill clinton that's saying something

that's

didn't he say too he's like hey he was trying to get his hard drive fixed didn't didn't he didn't he say something like i mean because he met him he met with him even though some of the stuff had gone on he continued to meet with him after a lot of those things were accused and he

also kind of

almost complimented him as being like, he lives a crazy, crazy life.

I mean, you know,

he's a wild guy.

He's a wild and crazy guy, which I think was

usually Steve Martin who would say that.

But

this case, it was Bill Gates.

And it does seem like a strange thing to say about a guy who's been accused

and

has already gotten in trouble for hooking up with underage girls at the time.

Especially when your wife, Melinda,

is saying to you,

stop it.

The guy is a pedophile.

What are you doing?

Stop hanging out with him.

Why are you going to the island all the time?

What are you doing on the island all the time?

I can't live like this.

You seem to be a dirtbag, Bill.

You know, when that kind of stuff is coming from your wife, you're like, I don't know.

Maybe it's just me.

I don't think it's just you.

I do think that he has something to answer to on this, and he does not seem to

really be interested in doing so.

He did come out and say, oh, these meetings were a huge mistake.

Yeah, it's easy to say that, you know, when

the guy has hung himself in prison, allegedly.

It's easy to say that now.

But it doesn't seem like

there's much scrutiny going on over that relationship other than by Melinda.

yeah i know and apparently elon musk now is kind of on the bandwagon and he's making a really good point why is it no one has been interested in this story i mean this is the biggest scandal story the biggest scumbag story

probably of my lifetime all of these people all these high-powered people are involved and nothing comes about it nothing there's no list do you remember when we were living in um new york and that list of that madam came out

i think they made a movie yeah yeah i do remember that yeah

yeah and that list came out and everybody wanted that list that was peanuts compared to this this is the whole elephant

yeah

why is no one interested yeah he he met with

i mean this really would be an interesting thing to dive into and really look at closely but he met with gates multiple times went to his condo multiple times, stayed late into the night at least once.

His quote was, his lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing, although it would not work for me, said Mr.

Gates in 2011 after his first get-together with Mr.

Epstein.

Now, again, remember, his townhouse is the one that has on the walls like pictures of like naked underaged girls that are quote-unquote art.

Again, what are you talking about?

So does Abercrombie.

There's nothing wrong wrong with that.

Yeah, there's all that wrong.

It's just Abercrombie and Fitch.

That's all that is.

Yeah, a lot wrong with it.

And

we held that line pretty clearly.

It doesn't seem like

Jeffrey held that line all that well, unfortunately.

But they met in January 2011 at the townhouse.

They kept meeting in 2011.

It lasted several hours, according to Mr.

Gates' spokesperson.

This is according, by the way, to the New York Times, who actually did cover this.

I mean, they have looked at it, but it doesn't seem to have elicited the type of attention you'd expect.

I mean, I'll give you an example of this.

You know, Matt Gates, a Republican congressman, has also been accused of some, you know, ill-advised

meetings with certain individuals.

And that has been fascinating to the media.

I mean, they've been constantly.

Now, Matt Gates is, you know, he's made some news.

He's in the news occasionally because he's a big Trump supporter.

but it's not like you know bill gates was the richest man in the world he created a company yeah that is basically serving 80 of the world's computer needs he is you know obviously very prominent uh with his role in the in in trying to spread the vaccine across the world and has been uh you know criticized trying to spread the what the vaccine across the world um oh

apparently maybe some other things on a jet as he went to an island we don't know that part for sure but

the point being that like this is a guy that the media is typically fascinated with almost everything that he does, and why this has not elicited more criticism.

I mean, even to the point where other politicians, there was a lot of politicians, Republican and Democrat, that met with Jeffrey Epstein back in the day.

And man, the lack of interest in the details of some of these meetings was fascinating before Epstein went to prison and hung himself, right?

Like this was fascinating going back years.

We talked about it on this show probably close to a decade ago, and it never created any interest among the media.

All of the news comes out about what actually happened at his condos and everything else, and still it hasn't risen to that level for some reason.

I wonder what it could be.

For some reason.

And I'm sure it has nothing to do with James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, that is the one who killed the Epstein story, and now working on that very special, that very special episode of Criminal Intent, the January 6th House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Don't miss it.

It'll be on every single

media channel that is owned by a giant corporation.

It'll be there Thursday.

Don't miss it.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

The pain of our past persists to this day.

In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool of terror.

It was used to kill hopes for freedom.

It was used to kill my ancestors.

Now, in a historic victory for our Commonwealth, I have become the first black Kentuckian to receive the Democratic nomination for U.S.

Senate.

Okay, stop.

My opponent.

Stop.

If you don't have the Blaze TV

and you're not watching this, this is a guy running against Senator Rand Paul.

And he is speaking, but he has, he's standing with a tree behind him and a noose around his neck.

It is one of the most outrageous,

salacious,

and quite honestly, just wrong ad I have ever seen.

And I've seen some bad ads in my day.

Senator Rand Paul joins us now.

Hello, Senator.

Good morning, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

You bet.

This ad

is just

crazy.

Absolutely crazy.

What's your response to it?

Well, you know, it's despicable.

I'd say it's cringeworthy.

It kind of reminds me of Jesse Smollett.

It's sort of an attention-getter, you know, based on a hoax, based on a lie.

He says in the ad, oh, that I blocked a bill on lynching, which is absolutely untrue.

I actually worked with with the authors of the bill for over a year to make sure that it punished actual lynching and didn't punish minor brush up against somebody, calling people names, graffiti, things like that.

The way they had originally written the bill was Black Lives Matter, remember, painted graffiti on the church in Lafayette Square.

That, under their original writing of the bill, would have been considered lynching and punishable by 10 years in prison for conspiracy to lynch by doing graffiti, which obviously is not lynching and demeans the horrific thing that happened in our history.

So, anyway, I just wanted to get the bill right.

So, we did punish people who actually did this horrific crime, but didn't punish people

who slapped somebody or did something.

Even if there is a punishment, it's not the same as lynching.

But for that, this guy really does the whole Jussie Smollett thing, puts a noose on himself, pretends as if he's being lynched.

I don't know.

It's

despicable, but on one hand, on the other hand, you got to wonder if it doesn't make him just look incredibly foolish.

Well, is there a problem with lynching?

I mean, looking it up, the last lynching in Kentucky was 1927.

And to watch him standing there,

it is...

It's horrifying and makes it seem like lynchings are happening all the time.

Well, and it distracts really from the horror we have in our big cities right now.

You know, in Louisville, we have more murders per capita than Chicago.

We had a 14-year-old standing on a bus stop, and many of these tragedies are occurring in minority community.

Kids shouldn't be at risk for being murdered, you know, at the bus stop.

I met a mom,

we lost him

by a gang.

Are you back with me now, Glenn?

Yeah, we are.

we are go ahead all right

and I was telling you that we also experienced you know recently a mom whose son was shot and lost both of his eyes five-year-old kid and so I think when you you know think you're Jesse Smollett and put a noose around your head and start doing that you distract from the real violent problems that we do need to work with you know we need to figure out how to get more stability more fathers in the home we need to figure out how to get more police patrols You know, this guy that I'm running against also wants to defund the police.

So he's for no police force.

He wants reparations for slavery.

And then he somehow thinks that putting a noose around his head is going to be something that's of use to making or allowing for less violence.

And not to minimize racism, I lived in Kentucky for a while back in the 80s, and there was still problems with race, but it has been getting better.

And

I know you well enough to know you take race seriously.

Let's talk about a couple of other things.

This is really getting to me what we're doing in Ukraine.

We just sent them more money than

I think almost more money by about maybe $5 billion

than the country of Russia spends in a year in their Department of Defense.

We sent it over there.

I don't see any accountants going with it.

And then we keep, like last week, we sent them another $700 million just out of the blue.

And then we sent them a missile system that Russia came out today and said, if any of these missiles land in Russia, we will strike America's homeland with a nuke.

What are we doing?

Yeah, somebody needs to be counseling, you know, what happens and what are the possible ramifications of this.

But realize, you're right, we've given them about 60 billion now, and it's about equivalent to what Russia spends in a year.

But they've also said that only lasts until September.

So in September, they're going to be back at the trough, and they're going to want more.

And it's not money we have.

We don't have a rainy day fund.

You don't walk over to the Federal Reserve and open a big safe and it's like, aha, here's all the money.

There is no money.

It's all borrowed money.

So we either borrow it from China or the Federal Reserve prints it up and

we borrow it from the Federal Reserve.

But that creates inflation.

And so they're going to be back in September wanting more.

And see, they're already starting to talk about what happens when the war is finally over.

It's going to be trillions of dollars to rebuild Ukraine.

Who do you think they expect to rebuild Ukraine?

The United States.

And so I think that we do need to rethink this.

And I'm sympathetic to the cause of the Ukrainians, but, you know, charity begins at home, and

you can't give away money you don't have.

So

I know this sounds paranoid, but I just don't trust these people in any way, shape, or form, meaning our own government.

Are we anxious to engage in a war over there?

Because it seems like it.

Well, you know, I asked one simple thing that the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan, who's been on the job for a decade, who's got a whole team and does a great job of trying to prevent people from stealing our money and stealing our weapons, I asked that he be put in charge of Ukraine.

His team said they could immediately start doing it.

They're used to dealing in a war zone and flatly rejected not only by Democrats, but also by the hawkish leaders in the Republican Party who want to get us involved and really think that somehow this is going to be our war and they don't care where it goes from here.

And nobody's

counseling caution as far as the possibility of this expanding.

into a much larger war.

So no,

we should be worried about, not that, you know, the thing is, is we can all, I think we're unified in having sympathy for Ukraine, but at the same time, if you put missiles in there and they launch them on a Russian city and the war expands into Russia,

you know, I think really the reaction of the Russians is unpredictable.

Perfect.

Let's see.

I've got so many things to ask you.

I want to ask you about the disinformation, Fauci, and I know you're unveiling

the penny plan budget budget today.

And I'll let you pick, if you can, squeeze two of those, DHS, disinformation, Fauci, and if you want to give us some preview of the penny plan today.

Well, the Penny Plan balances the budget in five years.

And the reason I've chosen five years to balance the budget is when we have introduced a balanced budget amendment, Mike Lee and I did this a few years ago.

The amendment says that the budget must be balanced in five years.

Every Republican votes for it.

And then guess what?

When I put forward a budget that actually balances in five years, like the balanced budget amendment would command, I get, you know, maybe 20 out of 50.

And so we put forward as a litmus test, you know, which Republicans are big government Republicans.

You want to see who the good guys are.

See who votes for the budget that balances in five years that I'll put forward.

Now, here's the problem.

About eight years ago, you could freeze spending and balance in five years.

Then it was the penny plan.

You could cut 1% and balance in five years.

Now it's up to six pennies.

So it's actually a 6% cut each year for five years.

And some people sound say like, oh my goodness, that's so much.

How could we ever do it?

You could eliminate the Department of Education tomorrow and you would never miss it.

You wouldn't fire one teacher.

You wouldn't miss it if you fire if you got rid of the entire Department of Education.

You could probably get rid of half of the Department of Interior, most of the Department of Commerce.

But the thing is, is even a 6% across the board to everything, there's that much waste in every department.

Oh, easy.

But I'm with you on eliminating these departments.

We have to, Ren, or we do not keep our freedom.

What the administration is doing in weaponizing each one of these administrative arms is terrifying when you look at it all put together.

47 different federal agencies have SWAT teams.

So I'm not for gun control unless we're talking about controlling the guns of the government.

And I think we've got too many people walking around with SWAT teams.

Look,

police

need to have it in big cities where there's a lot of violence, but I don't think the Department of Education needs a SWAT team, and they've got one.

I am growing, my growing concern over the fact that the states have not put in any kind of legislation to stop what happened the last time we had COVID.

Nobody is paying for

any of the constitutional stomping that they did.

Fauci, nobody's asking any questions except you.

Where are we with Fauci?

Yeah, my wife asked me that every week when I returned from Washington.

She says, how come he's not in jail yet?

And I said, I'm trying.

I'm doing everything I can.

But, you know, he's been referred to Merrick Garland, to the Department of Justice, but, you know, that's a blind end.

It's not going to happen.

But the thing is, is come November, we're going to be in charge of at least probably the House, hopefully the Senate and there will be a thorough investigation I will subpoena every last paper of Fauci's because I think he's not only been dishonest about funding the gain of function in Wuhan I think there's been a cover-up and I think there's been a misdirection campaign the misdirection campaign is to get us to think about other things but not to think about the root cause of where we got the virus.

But his other biggest failing, the other reason he should be filed, is simply that he never talks about treatment.

You can still get it if you've been vaccinated.

What are you supposed to do?

People need to know that you're supposed to get treatment within about five days.

The treatments work best within five days.

If you are getting sick and you're at risk, you need to get treatment within five days.

And there are several treatments that actually do work and can save your lives.

I still have people going in to get treatment.

They're denied, saying, Oh, you're not high risk, so we're not going to give you the antiviral pill.

Well, what about the monoclonals?

They say, Oh, they don't work anymore, so the government will allow you to use the monoclonals.

So it's a system that is now so socialized that all of the directives come from government and from Fauci.

Instead of you talking about your doctor, these are various treatments.

Some work better than the others.

We would have done better on day three, but you're day six or seven, but we're still going to give them because we think there's a chance it'll keep you off the ventilator.

None of that's happening.

None of the discussion is happening.

It's all coming down from Fauci, who makes an edict.

And right now, in America, he will not let you have monoclonal antibodies, period.

But he specifically, for the last two years, wouldn't let you have them once you became an inpatient.

You had to beg to leave the hospital to get monoclonal antibodies because of Fauci's rigidity and his rules and his algorithms.

Quickly, do we have anything to worry about with monkeypox?

I can't give you the complete answer on that, but it seems to be a contact disease.

It seems to be mostly being spread as a sexually transmitted disease.

So we'll see over time, but I can't say that I know much more than that.

Okay.

Rand Paul, thank you so much.

God bless you.

Stand tall and stand strong.

Thank you for everything you do.

Senator Rand Paul, the senator from, you bet, the senator from Kentucky.

If you are in Kentucky, he is up for re-election and

is

one of the strongest defenders of the Constitution in Washington, D.C.

The best of the Glen Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Today is the 78th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.

At Mercury One in our museum, we have one of the most awe-inspiring

and precious items in the collection.

It is a flag that

was on a landing craft that brought men and tanks across the channel on D-Day.

The ship was sunk by the Germans on Omaha Beach,

and one of the sailors went down to rescue the flag.

It is

that one flag

tells the entire story

of D-Day.

It is ripped to shreds,

frayed.

The stars are still together.

This was

the biggest military operation

in world history.

Three million Allied troops

were sent across the channel.

No one knew if it would succeed or not.

No one knew if Hitler was expecting them,

if

he...

If he was still there, his troops were on high alert.

If he hadn't looked elsewhere, we were dead.

Imagine being on

the...

shore of England getting ready to go across the channel, knowing that really, truly, one of the most bat hardened and technologically sound armies was waiting across the river on the beach for you.

Eisenhower wrote a note.

He wrote it to everyone who was going across.

He said, you're about to embark on a great crusade, toward which we have striven these many months, and the eyes of the world are upon you.

The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

In company with our brave allies and brothers in arms on other fronts, you will bring about the destruction of

the German people's war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and the security for ourselves in a free world.

And it's an important one, I think.

Savagely.

Yeah,

it's a great point you make there, Glenn.

We did lose you here for just a quick second.

Maybe you could back up a second or two.

Sorry, we're having a little bit of technical difficulties.

Okay.

The eyes of the world are upon you.

The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

In company with our brave allies and brothers in arms on other fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task ahead is not an easy one.

Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened.

He will fight savagely.

But in this year, 1944, much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940 and 41.

The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats in open battle, man-to-man.

Our air offense has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground.

Our home fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of fighting men.

The tide has turned.

The freemen in the world are marching together to victory.

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle.

We will accept nothing less than a full victory.

Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

As they were reading that and then launching one by one,

FDR was on the radio talking about the fall of Rome.

The next day, once they had gotten onto the beach and were making progress, FDR took to the airwaves again in one of the most

outrageous speeches, if it were given today,

that you will ever read.

Imagine your president coming on the air and saying this:

last night when I spoke to you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment the troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the channel in another and greater operation.

And it has come to success thus far.

But in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer.

That's where the President today, if he even said that, would leave it.

He then says, and I'm quoting,

Almighty God, our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free suffering humanity.

Lead them straight and true.

Give them strength to their arms, stoutness of their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.

They will need thy blessings.

Their road will be long and hard, for the enemy is strong.

He may hurl back our forces.

Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again, and we know that by thy grace, by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

They will be sore tired,

but night and by day without rest, until victory is won, the darkness will be rent by noise and flame, and men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.

For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace.

They fight not for the lust of conquest.

They fight to end conquest.

They fight to liberate.

They fight to let justice arise and tolerance and good will among all thy people.

They yearn but for the end of battle and for their return to the haven of their home.

Some, dear Lord, will never return.

Embrace these, Father, and receive them, thy heroic servant, into thy kingdom.

And for us at home, fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them, help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee at this hour of great sacrifice.

Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer, but because the road is long and the desire if great,

I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer.

As we rise up each new day and again each day is spent, let the words of prayer be on our lips, invoking thy help to our efforts.

Give us strength to strengthen our daily tasks to redouble the contributions we can make in the physical and material support of our armed forces.

Let our hearts be stout to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons whereverso they may be.

And O Lord, give us faith.

Give us faith in thee, faith in our sons, faith in each other, faith in our united crusade.

Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled.

Let

none of these impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters, but of fleeting moment, let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.

With your blessings, we shall prevail over the unholy force of our enemy.

Help us conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies.

Lead us to the saving of our country and with our sister nations in a world unity that will spell a sure peace, a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men, and a peace that will let all men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

But we know thy will be done, Almighty God.

Amen.

Could you even imagine hearing our President speak like that today?

We have a real problem in today's world where

we don't even really want to

admit our own faults.

If we're honest about what we're facing today, it's all of our own faults.

We let our love of

unbridled freedom

conquer

our duty of responsibility.

We let our wants become our needs,

and there is no one to blame anymore, or at least there is no one that will take the blame.

Dwight Eisenhower has become one of my favorite people

in history.

Because while he said, the eyes of the world are upon you,

and we are going to win

in his pocket on that day.

He had written a letter for release if things did not go well.

He said, our landings have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold, and I have withdrawn our troops.

My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available.

The troops, the air, the navy did all that

bravery and devotion to duty could do.

Any blame or fault

that attaches to this attempt,

it is mine alone.

Right now our politicians are trying to do something they think very brave and noble.

They haven't even told us what they're truly fighting for.

It's not Ukraine that is driving up the gas prices, it is their fight for climate.

It is their fight for the earth, and they will blame the repercussions on anything.

It is the money printing of greedy politicians and an absolute criminally

incompetent Fed.

The greed of the banks

that has caused this inflation.

Treasury Secretary admitted it last week.

Yeah, we misread.

We failed to see things.

We shouldn't have done.

But not our commander-in-chief.

Let us not forget what honor truly looks like

and try to emulate that in our own lives

every day, beginning today.
