Next day on Hulu.
Hey, today's podcast.
It's a really good one.
We first talk about what is true and what is not with oil and gas and give you a different perspective on a barrel of oil.
What are you willing to pay?
How high of a price are you willing to pay?
Also,
we kind of go into Putin's kind of a bad guy, but we're also seeing things here in America being used against Putin that will be used against us.
And then finally,
we have a very
astute lawyer, federal lawyer that does a lot in Washington, D.C.
and has been watching a court case of a January 6th victim,
a guy who I think actually might be guilty of some bad stuff and should probably go to jail if he is guilty of that.
But he's just been disappeared and his rights are being violated.
It's over a year now and still no trial.
Is there anything such as a speedy trial in America?
We'll have that for you coming up.
You're listening to the best of the Blanbeck program.
Hey, there's even a bigger paper shortage that is coming.
Three of the big paper manufacturers in Italy and others around the world completely shut down now.
So there's a paper shortage coming.
If you haven't gotten the book, The Great Reset, it is now available in hardcover
right now, wherever you buy your books.
Go online to Amazon or Barnes Noble or whoever Books a Million and order a copy now.
Should be in Costco and
Walmart as well.
So grab it now.
Is it in hardware stores?
Any hardware stores at all, like Ace or
the PlayStation Helpful Hardware?
Why would it be?
Do you buy your books?
Because I thought it was available pretty much everywhere.
Yeah, wherever you buy your books.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, I rarely.
I actually buy my books at hardware stores.
Yeah,
Pat Gray is joining us now, and I'm beginning to regret it already.
By the way, tonight I'm going to explain on my Wednesday night special at 9, I'm going to retell the movie Titanic, except the Russians and oil prices and an economic weapon of mass destruction, the iceberg.
Okay?
And Jack still hasn't found his way to a safe door or anything floating in my version, too.
He still dies with that witch on the door going, don't let go, Jack.
Oh, my.
Anyway, we'll explain the world by using Titanic tonight at 9.
Don't miss it.
Right.
And after a brand new Stew Does America, and hours and hours after the Pat Gray show.
Hours and hours, literally.
Yeah.
All right, good.
So, Pat, what's on your mind today?
I've got a couple of things that would be stuck in my craw if I had a craw.
But of course, I had my craw surgically removed.
Right.
Don't even know what it is.
Years ago.
So, but
there's a couple things.
We've all been expressing, well, you and I and some others in the industry have been expressing a little bit of uncomfortability, awkwardness with this all-in-for-Ukraine thing.
I mean, I don't want anything bad to happen to the citizens.
The citizens are good.
Citizens are good.
Citizens are good.
Their government traditionally has not been.
What do you mean by that?
And there's a member of parliament that was on Fox yesterday that kind of explained what exactly it is Ukraine is fighting for.
Okay.
For the rest of us that aren't Ukrainians, I think the world, quite frankly, Kira, is surprised by the will of the Ukrainian people to stand up and fight.
Are you?
Well, I'm not surprised.
We have been fighting Putin for the last eight years, and we had three revolutions in our country when we did not agree with what was going on with the direction of where we're moving in.
But right now, it's a critical time because we know that we not only fight for Ukraine, we fight for this new world order for the democratic countries.
We knew that we are the shield for the Europe.
We knew that we are protecting not not only Ukraine, we are protecting like all the other countries that would be next.
Right.
Wait a minute.
So the New World Order, you have a problem with that?
I do.
You don't think that the people of Ukraine are out there in the streets thinking I am fighting for the new world.
For the new order.
I can't wait to bring on the great reset.
You can't wait.
Yeah.
You know who she is.
She's a member.
Member of parliament.
Yeah, but she's also a member of the World Economic Forum.
Now that I didn't know that
she was a new sense.
Where she's
Really talking about the Great Reset.
We are also fighting for the Great Reset.
Yeah, I didn't know that part.
So, you know, we hedged it a little bit on my show when we were talking about it because if maybe she doesn't understand New World Order.
No, she does.
She's part of it.
No, she does.
Yeah, she's part of it.
Yeah, no, she's part of it.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so maybe that's why we feel a little bit on edge on this whole thing.
Yeah.
Yes, a few things don't make sense.
I'm not fighting for the new world order.
No.
That's not something I'm on board with.
Although Vladimir Putin is, he's fighting against the new world order.
He is for.
He's fighting for a totally different new world order, though.
Yeah, yeah, he's new world order.
He's fighting
just as much as the other one.
Correct.
He's fighting for his national world order, where it is nation states and Russia can just take all of those states that they want.
This is national versus international new world order.
The reason I care about this is because we have an alliance with a bunch of countries that are one country away from Ukraine.
I also care, obviously, for the people of Ukraine and the obvious human stuff, right?
But like, as far as U.S.
national interest, that's the concern.
I don't want Russia to grow.
I don't want them attacking freaking Estonia and draw us into a war with Russia.
So here's, this is why, this is why our president and our Congress, Senate on the Democratic side for sure, and some Republicans, They're not representing you.
They're representing now, I don't know, Europe, or they're representing the Great Reset, or they're representing the Ukrainian people, but they're not representing you.
If you want to say we have a moral responsibility to help the people in Ukraine, I disagree with that.
I don't think we do have a moral responsibility as a nation.
Maybe as individuals and people, we do have that responsibility to see it, to say something, and to help in all we can.
But the moral responsibility for our leadership is to make sure that the United States of America remains stable and secure and that its people can actually continue to move on with their lives.
So you strengthen the United States and then you can help more people.
What they're doing is helping Ukraine and Europe and everybody else and hurting us just as badly.
That's not a group of people that represent me
because that's suicide.
I don't want to engage in that.
And meanwhile, they're building it on a house of lies.
And nobody is correcting their lies.
Joe Biden's speech yesterday was incredible.
Filled with nothing but lies.
Yeah, nothing but lies.
First of all, he blamed Russia
for the rising oil prices, for the gas prices.
Well, the price has risen for the last year, ever since he got into office.
It's been rising.
The Ukraine situation is going on for two weeks.
So some of it, you know, it's gone up the last few days because of Russia and Ukraine, but
it's gone up mostly because of him and his policies.
Yeah, I mean, I remember everyone was like, oh, you know, if this stuff happens, we could see $5 a gallon gas in California.
Before any of this Russia-Ukraine stuff stuff happened, I was in California and saw $5 a gallon gas.
It was there before any of this stuff occurred.
Of course, it was.
Of course, now it's at $7.
Now we're actually higher than the fictional gas station from the movie I Am Legend.
Did you know this?
Oh, my God.
Do you remember the zombie apocalypse movie?
Yeah, yeah.
The world collapses, and at one point, Will Smith is getting something off the ground.
And in the background, you see like an Exxon mobile sign.
It's like $6.63 for regular, and now it's at $671 for regular in parts of California.
So worse than the zombie apocalypse.
Yeah, that's not bad.
Good job, Joe.
That's not bad.
That's not bad.
But, you know, it's all because of these oil companies.
They won't drill.
They could drill if they wanted to.
They got 9,000 leases.
I heard it from the president, which is down from 37,000 under Trump.
37,000.
No, no, no.
9,000.
No, no, no.
He didn't cut any of that.
Yeah.
No, he said yesterday.
I know he said.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He said, in fact,
we're going to pump another record this year.
Yeah,
because
Trump started the rebuild there, and then he inherited.
Right.
And so that kind of spilled over into his administration.
We're still down from the end.
We're still down there.
And by the way,
they're comparing it to his first year, Donald Trump's first year in office.
Right, which was
suffering from the Obama years.
Yes.
So he ramped it up, got it to 2019,
which was much higher than we are now, because, of course, this obviously has been reversed.
They bragged about reversing it.
The whole thing they did, they came in the first day and signed all of these things to stop oil production, and now they're denying they did it.
Not true.
Here's the Energy Secretary 2021, cut five.
The Energy Information Administration, which is
inside the Department of Energy, but it's independent, it predicts that we are going to turn the corner in early 2022 in terms of pricing at the pump.
See, they knew.
They knew.
They knew.
They knew.
We turned a corner.
They knew.
Now, remember, we weren't having a problem with gas prices
until January 20th, and the president is sworn in.
We have no problem.
Nobody was talking about gas prices.
We were fine, and we were energy independent for the very first time.
And
explain for a minute the 9,000 oil leases, because there's more to that than meets the ear as well.
So when you have a lease,
gas companies, oil companies, they go to the United States and they say, you have all this land and we think there might be oil in this section and we would like to apply for a lease so we can explore it.
So they get a lease and for like a five-year period or whatever it is, they can go and explore it.
I don't think it necessarily means you can pump it.
It means you can explore it.
Okay.
Yeah, because you need the permit as well.
Yeah, to
pump it.
So, and I could be wrong on that.
Sometimes they don't have the permit, but they do have the lease.
Right.
And so they have the lease.
But that lease does not mean that there's oil or gas there.
They wanted to explore to see if there was.
They may find no gas or no oil.
They may actually find oil or gas, but it would be way too expensive to pump it out.
So they still have the lease, but they're not pumping on it because
it's too expensive or there's nothing to
pump out.
It It wasn't economically feasible to get to any gas or oil that was there.
Correct.
Yes.
And that's why the 37,000 number is so impressive because that means he was allowing them, okay, you got a dry well here.
Go find another one somewhere else.
And that's why they had 37,000 leases because they were moving around trying to find the oil and successfully finding it and pumping it.
Doesn't their own rhetoric here, though,
show how much they're lying?
Right.
Like, for example, they are the ones saying this is the greatest existential threat to all of humanity so but now they're arguing they're not limiting it
like wait a minute you you've been telling us forever everyone's going to die because of this product so you weren't limiting it what were you doing
that's a great point and then they say hey these oil companies are the most uh
selfish profit-driven, money-hungry, terrible.
They're going to do everything they can to screw the American people.
And all they want is money.
It's all they care about.
They don't care about human lives.
All they care about is money.
But they have 9,000 leases.
They just don't want to get the oil out right now.
They don't want to make the money from those 9,000 wells.
Does that make any sense?
If they're so evil and money-hungry, if there was oil there, they'd be drilling for it.
Let me just play one more cut because remember, Joe Biden said he was going to do everything he could,
everything he can to make sure he drives down the price of oil.
He's going to do everything he can.
Here's cut five.
Gas prices, because some of the price is.
Gas prices relate to a foreign policy initiative that is about something that goes beyond the cost of gas.
And we're about $330 a gallon, most places that now when it's up from was down in the single digits, I mean, single digit, a dollar plus.
And that's because of the supply being withheld by OPEC.
And so there's a lot of negotiation that is
a lot of Middle Eastern folks want to talk to me.
I'm not sure I'm going to talk to them, but the point is it's about gas production.
There's things we can do in the meantime, though.
Do you think there's a do you see a do you have a timeline for gas prices and when you think they may start coming down?
My guess is you'll start to see gas prices come down as we get by and going into the winter, I mean, excuse me, into next year, in 2022.
Yeah, I'll be right back.
I don't see it.
All right, stop it.
It didn't work, obviously.
And he said, I'm not sure I'm going to deal with those people.
Well, yesterday, they went hat in hand to Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia said, Yeah, we're not interested in talking to you.
So, all that help from Saudi Arabia, thank you, Joe Biden.
You did a really, really good.
Gosh, remember just a year ago when the entire
Arab world seemed to be united against Iran,
getting along with us and Israel.
Oh, those were the days.
Thanks, Joe.
Gosh, let's go, Brandon.
This is the best of the Glenbeck program.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Remember, what was it, yesterday, two days ago?
We had a Mississippi representative on and he said about, he was talking about the tri-what was it, the tri-state compact.
Just got a note from him, said
we're in committee right now killing the tri-state compact.
That is really good news.
Apparently, people have called in
those three states and said, no, we're not doing it.
Please look for these things in your state.
All kinds of things are being passed
and you don't know about them.
And
they are restructuring America entirely.
All right, there's another bill that you should be very well aware of.
Chip Roy is here.
Congress has to pass a spending bill by Friday to avoid a government shutdown.
Let me hang on just a second.
Let me pause for a minute to think about all the bad things that might happen with a government shutdown.
Okay, that's enough time.
I'm over my morning now.
Let's go to Chip Roy.
Hello, Chip.
How are you?
I'm doing great, Glenn.
How are you, my friend?
I'm good.
So now,
this has to pass by Friday, but you got the spending bill last night,
this morning, 2 a.m.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Just so your listeners understand what's going on, right?
You'll remember that there was a continuing resolution that was passed in September to December, then December to February 18th, then February 18th to March 11th, which of course is Friday.
At every point
along that line, we conservatives have been saying we should be doing something to fight for the American people, like end vaccine mandates, like stand up for border security.
We've gotten nothing, nothing at all, obviously from Democrats, but worse, nothing from Republicans.
Well, now here we sit, and now Ukraine is going on, and now the entire establishment in D.C.
is all a Twitter that we've got to pass this funding bill so that one, we can pass a supplemental, basically war funding bill even though we're not quote at war to go send stuff to Ukraine and with no debate by the way and then pass a funding bill for the overall government now we're not just passing a CR we're passing an omnibus appropriations bill okay that packages everything together and spends a crap ton of your money or borrowed money Yes, we got the bill last night at 1.30 in the morning.
It was emailed to us at 2.30, to be clear.
So we woke up early.
Some of my staff is getting in the middle of the night.
We're looking through it.
It's 2,700 pages long.
It's a $1.512 trillion annual spending level bill.
That is, the best I can tell, about an $88 billion minimum plus-up from last year's spending level, not counting Ukraine, Glenn.
That's just $88 billion of overall spending increases, both defense and non-defense.
I think it's more than that, but that's the bare minimum increase.
We're trying to figure it out.
That's at least a 6% increase, but I think the increase is closer to 8% to 10%.
And we're trying to figure that out.
And
we don't know on what?
Well, right.
We're going through to figure out all the levels.
When do you have to vote on this?
We're going to vote on the rule.
We just made a motion to adjourn to shut the place down, which we will lose, but we're just trying to buy time.
And then we will vote on the rule sometime this morning and then vote on the bill in a few hours.
Nobody's even read it.
No, it's 2,700 pages.
All the appropriators will tell you that all the appropriation staff and all of the appropriator cardinals, they've all looked at it, Glenn.
So those handful of people will tell you how our country should be moving forward, not your elected representative.
Okay, tell me
what's in this.
Anything on oil and gas?
So there is not one thing, to the best of our knowledge, we're searching through it, that will help American oil and gas improve.
All right.
One thing.
COVID.
COVID vaccinates.
Nothing in there.
Nothing in there to end the COVID vaccine mandates.
Now pause.
We're hoping that Mike Lee will force a vote on an amendment in the Senate, but remember last time he did that, Mike Lee and company, I'm sorry, Mitt Romney and company walked out.
But right now, there's nothing in the bill in the House that we're voting on today, to the best of my knowledge, that does anything for American oil and gas, that does anything at all to end the vaccine mandates, and then nothing to truly secure the border of the United States.
Now, what my Republican establishment colleagues will say is, oh, don't worry, Chip.
We're going to give more money to ICE and Border Patrol.
Well, Glenn, you know the truth.
You're a Texan.
You know what's going on at the border.
If we give more money to ICE and Border Patrol.
They're going to process more people.
They're going to process more people.
They're going to not prosecute bad actors.
They're not going to stop fentanyl.
They're not going to stop the cartels.
They're literally going to process more illegal aliens coming to the United States in the false name of asylum.
There is $15.6 billion in supplemental for COVID.
What the hell does that mean?
We don't know.
My staff's trying to figure out exactly what that means.
There's like slight good news is apparently that's offset out of previous COVID money.
But whoop-de-doo, it's still another $15.6 billion that's being refocused and targeted towards we don't know what.
But I can promise you the continuation of BS COVID forced policies like the masks that are still interfering with our kids, the vaccine mandates that are harming our folks.
They'll say it's for research and stuff, but Lord only knows.
But it's going to be $13.
I think $6 billion of Ukraine supplemental funding plus the $15.6 billion of COVID supplemental funding on top of the 15 point, whatever the hell, I've lost the number, $1.2 trillion.
I'm sorry, $1.512 trillion total package.
All right.
So let me ask you, when it comes to the Ukraine spending, what are we spending it on?
Well, again, peeling that back, there's, I believe, it is roughly two-thirds lethal aid.
I don't know for sure, where we're going to be funding additional, you know, stingers and
lethal aid to the Ukrainians.
And then there's an X amount of it.
I think the other third or so is for humanitarian aid.
We'll know those numbers for sure here soon, reporting over it.
What stops us from passing just that separately?
Well, the politics of this town, right?
I mean, now, I haven't seen the actual votes called or whether we'll get a clean, straight-up vote on it.
I don't believe we will.
I think it's going to be packaged with, I think we're going to have two votes, one on the security portion, which includes defense appropriations, homeland security, and I think this supplemental.
I'm not positive about that.
I'll find out for sure.
I'll tell you, I'll send it to your team.
And then a separate vote on the non-defense discretionary bill, I think.
But the bottom line is they're doing this all today to jam it all through, I suspect altogether, because they want that to be the case, right?
They don't want to be able to have a separate debate.
We should be debating our Ukraine funding, right?
You and I are both horrified.
I want to speak for you, but horrified by what Putin is doing.
I gave a speech last night on the floor of the House about what he's doing to orphans and children and families and separating families and blowing up bridges and blowing up schools and apartments and harming people.
He's a thug, a KGB dictator who's killed people.
But I want to know what we're spending this money on and are we at war or not?
I want to know what we're going to get out of this.
I want to know when we're spending this money, where's it coming from?
This is an offset.
This is another $13.6 billion.
What are we going to we didn't debate it, Glenn?
Not one debate on the floor of the house.
Not one.
A handful of speeches in a quiet chamber.
Meanwhile, a handful of people in smoke-filled rooms rooms upstairs, well, not smoke-filled anymore because that's not politically correct, but upstairs in a dark room making decisions for all of America.
So, Chip,
how many Republicans are willing to stand?
I mean, now is the time
to take a stand
and to show America who you really are.
And I'll bet you the vast majority are like, we got to do it for the Ukrainian people.
So I'm not sure yet.
I'm going to be blasting the hell out of it all day.
I know that my Freedom Caucus colleagues largely oppose it.
I don't know what the numbers are ultimately going to be.
Right now, I'm going to just give you a target line of 50-50 in the House Republican conference.
But I'm not sure.
I think people are kind of watching this unfold.
They're peeling the bill back.
Not one Republican should vote for this bill.
Unfortunately, a large number will.
And they will do so falsely in the name of going out and helping the Ukrainians when, in fact, they're using that as a beard to continue to grow and develop government.
And they always have excuses as to why that's okay.
We have to do that, Glenn.
You don't understand.
We have to do that, Chip.
We know what's important here.
Look, we don't have the majority.
When you give us power, then we'll have puppy dogs and rainbows, and we'll be the fiscal conservatives that you guys have been asking for.
No, you won't.
Show me right now that you are.
I would recommend that everyone calls their congressmen and their senators today,
right now,
and say, I have a very long memory.
This omnibus spending bill that
you have to pass, I would rather have the government shut down
than pass something that none of you have even read.
You haven't even read it.
No,
no more crazy spending like this in the middle of the night and tell them you can debate the
Ukrainian
money.
Go ahead.
Everything that's going, you have a debate on it and you could pass that today.
You could pass that tomorrow.
But that does not, I am not that stupid.
I'm not this stupid.
I know what's happening and I will remember you.
I'm voting.
I vote for people like you
and I'm going to campaign for people like you.
But if you don't stand right now,
when it's pretty easy because you're not going to, you're not even going to, your vote won't matter.
If you won't do it now, you certainly won't do it when you have power.
And if you won't do it now, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that I work for your competition.
I work for the candidate running against you.
And if nobody's running against you, I might run against you because we need some courage right now.
You call your senator and your house member, and you tell them that right now.
It's the omnibus bill.
They're going to pass it in the house today.
So you've got to call them right now, and then it'll head over to the Senate.
And by the way, make sure you call
the
Weasels, the Romneys in the Senate who will not stand up against this, won't stand up by any stretch of the imagination, and won't support Mike Lee.
Good God, the guy won't even support Mike Lee in an endorsement because his good friend is Egg McMuffin or whatever his name is.
And it's, I mean, the guy is weak and pathetic.
Make sure you call those senators and your congressmen now.
Chip, do I have it covered?
Is there anything else that people can do?
Hey, man, you got it.
You got it covered.
This is exactly right.
Everybody out there listening, Glenn is exactly right.
You need to light everybody up.
Do not let your Republican leadership, your Republican representatives who claim fiscal conservative, who claim to fight for you, get away with this crap.
This is crap.
You need to call them out on it, light the phones up, and let them know this is unacceptable.
Yep, and do the phone.
Please don't email them.
They can dismiss emails, but the phones make a difference.
Thank you so much, Chip.
I appreciate it.
God blessing you, Glenn.
You bet.
To our Representative Chip Roy.
By the way, just $1.5 billion,
another $1.5 billion
at a time where our inflation is out of control.
No,
no,
no.
These Republicans make me sick.
You know,
this country should be run by the Freedom Caucus, but
what do I know?
You're listening to the best of the Glendeck program.
All right, I want to tell you a story that I know you know,
but it is important that we really reflect on it.
It was January 6th.
January 6th, Matthew Perna entered through an open door in in the U.S.
Capitol.
The door was open.
He walked through the Senate wing lobby, chanting USA, USA.
He left 20 minutes later.
He recorded all of it on his phone.
After returning to his home in western Pennsylvania, he sat down and started watching T V, and he saw a bulletin with his face on it.
Matthew did the right thing.
He called to turn himself in.
He called the FBI without knowing that people he knew had already done that for him.
In December, he pleaded guilty to charges of obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting,
entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly conduct in the Capitol building.
They are all misdemeanors except for federal obstruction, which holds a penalty of up to 20 years.
Matthew's sentencing was scheduled for a couple of weeks from now, April 1st.
Now he may have faced a fair trial in court.
The court of public opinion and the Biden administration, mainstream media, had already ruled against him.
He was a traitor.
He was a terrorist.
He was worthy of being turned in by his own friends.
He was publicly ridiculed by major voices as a threat to democracy.
You know how this ends for Matthew.
He won't be present for a sentencing because he took his own life on February twenty fifth.
After his death, his lawyer said
The government had recently announced an intention to seek an additional sentencing enhancement with mister Perna.
He was psychologically frail and not able to deal with the stress of the situation.
He hung himself.
In his obituary, his family wrote, Matthew Lawrence Perna died on February 25, 2022, of a broken heart.
His community, which he loved, his country, and the justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life.
The constant delays in hearings, the postponements dragged out for over a year.
Because of this, Matt's heart broke and his spirit died.
No one can really understand or know the mind of a suicide victim.
It's an act of insanity.
You just want everything to stop.
And you've convinced yourself things would be better for your family and everybody you love if you were gone.
If we take his family at their word, Matthew lost so much faith in America and our justice system that suicide seemed a more reasonable thing
than
going to court.
The story of his broken faith
hit Americans hard when they heard it.
But it sends an ominous message about the state of our Union.
We now no longer trust our own nation to deal justly with us.
Violent criminals release without bail.
I just saw a sentence for a guy who
just
completely beat almost to death this elderly man.
He's got an ankle bracelet.
He's back out.
Illegal immigrants bust across the country in the middle of the night.
And yet there is a collective silence for the rights of the January 6th defendants.
We hesitate as people to
stand up for the January 6th defendants because we don't know exactly what they were charged with.
We don't know who they are, which is weird, isn't it?
People notice the double standard.
They feel it.
And we can't ignore those fears.
If the goal of our Justice Department is to break the spirit of our political prisoners, then they succeeded in the case of Matthew Perna.
But if the goal is, as their mission states, to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, then we've got a lot of work to do.
For the guilty and for the innocent, we need real justice.
But what we're getting now is social justice.
And it will turn.
If you're for social justice, it will turn on you in your lifetime.
Let's see how you feel about it then.
We need real justice, but if it doesn't come or doesn't come quickly enough, we need to keep our heads up.
We need to be there for one another and ourselves.
We have to keep the faith.
You have to know that you can make things better and that your voice, your life matters.
Nelson Mandela was a political prisoner and he was a bad guy.
He was a communist.
He was engaged in violent activity.
But look at the difference he made.
Look at the difference he made in the end.
James Colmy came out with an op-ed.
It was published in the Washington Post
this week, and
it was directed right to the FBI agents.
And he said, we're a nation of laws, and the FBI is an organization dedicated to the rule of law.
You have to support and defend the Constitution.
We've always had divisive politics in the United States.
But despite all the division, passion, and anger, we've never had something like January 6th.
I'm so tired of hearing that.
It is such a lie.
Such a lie.
In fact, I could,
in fact, why don't I play the New York Times reporter caught by Project Veritas telling the truth?
A guy who wrote about how scary it was,
how difficult, how horrible it was.
Here he is talking to an undercover reporter from Project Veritas.
Listen to this.
It's like January 6th stuff, but it's like so over at this point.
It's so
less overreaction, the less reaction to it in some places was so over the top.
Like me and two other colleagues who are there who are outside.
I mean, you're just having your fun.
Dude, come on.
Like,
we were not in any danger.
Like, you could tell about how much fun we had on January 6th.
Oh, that's great.
Are you allowed to have that much fun on January 6th?
I just want to be mourning.
I know.
I know.
So I'm sort of traumatized.
But like, all those colleagues who are in in the building,
I'm like, oh, you're so scary.
I'm like, oh,
is that really the vibe, Matt?
From them.
I'm like, come on.
It's not the kind of place that can sit touch me a man up, but I kind of want to be like, dude, come on.
You were not in any danger.
Got him Zola, got an Adam Golden, a bunch of gold having
a lot of people.
I'm going to stop it there because
you can find this online and I urge you to watch it.
But this is a New York Times reporter that was reporting how dangerous this was.
There's never been anything like January 6th, yada, yada.
But when he is talking to some young girl who's just asking about, wow, you were there, he was like, it was no big deal.
We were fine.
They're all overreacting.
No one was ever in any danger.
Okay, so what's the truth on that?
What's the truth?
Well, Comey says that we are a nation of laws and we have to charge people
with crimes.
We have to.
And
we can't decide which laws to uphold and which not.
Americans decided it was okay to physically interfere with the election procedures set out in our Constitution and laws, and it can't happen again.
And he says,
even if you disagree,
you have to enforce this law.
January 6th can't happen again.
Whatever their politics, it can't happen again.
Now, listen, he goes on to say, normally when you make a criminal case, you're thinking about personal deterrence or incapacitation, two of the main goals of criminal prosecution.
That is, you're making a case to keep the bad guy from hurting someone else.
But there are January 6th cases like that, and I suspect all agents agree that anyone who hit a cop or ransacked a room or conspired to violent sedition must be locked up.
But January 6th investigation is mostly about something you might not like to think much about in your normal caseload.
General deterrence.
It's about sending a message, a shockwave of deterrence, so future Americans, whether misled by a lying demagogue or rightfully concerned about the loss of their rights, never again assault the institutions of government.
Now, that is not, that, that's not,
that's not blind justice.
That is not blind justice.
I don't even know if that's legal.
Do you hear about the Whitmer case, the kidnapping defendants?
Gretchen Whitmer, apparently these guys were going to kidnap her
and then, I guess, kill her or whatever.
I thought this was really pretty serious until I found out that there were like 12 FBI agents there.
By the way, the guy from the New York Times said FBI agents, undercover FBI agents were everywhere.
I don't know who to believe, what to trust.
I know, thou, that they have all signed a plea deal.
They've all signed a plea deal, the Whitmer case, and they all have in their plea deal that they testify that there was no FBI interference, that they were not.
influenced by the FBI.
That's a really interesting thing.
Kind of makes me wonder again about Matthew.
I mean, you know, here he was.
Here he was.
He was ready to pay a price.
And then they said, you know, there's a heavier price to pay.
And he couldn't face that.
I mean, I guess we all have our breaking point.
Don't let anyone break your spirit.
Focus on restoration.
We're not about burning things down.
We're about restoring our nation's institution to their proper working order.
We don't need a great reset.
We need to unplug it and plug it back in.
We need to set it back to its factory settings.
The software is all screwed up.
It's all corrupted.
So, what do you do in your computer?
You turn it off and turn it back on again and restore the factory settings.
That's what has to happen.
Our system is good and has taken many years and many men and endless amounts of effort and money and
blood.
And we have become wholly disillusioned, disheartened, distrustful.
And when we do that, those who hate America get exactly what they want.
We love this country and want it restored to factory settings.
Did you see that poll that came out yesterday that 60, I think it was 67% of Democrats, if somebody came and invaded our country, they would run?
They wouldn't stick around?
Says so much.
Says everything.
There's nothing worthwhile.
We are no, you can go to Canada and no big deal.
That says everything.
67%.
That should tell you something also about war in general.
We are not the the World War II generation.
I've never seen a number like that in America, that we would turn tail and run.
And the number
of young males who would actually need to be fighting a war like this was terrible.
I mean, it was, it's not even just party, it's youth as well.
It's great that a bunch of 80-year-olds want to go out and fight the war.
We love that.
We thank them for that.
Correct.
But, man, the people who actually need to be fighting it don't have any interest in it.
And how are you going to fight?
I mean, will you just cave?
Will we just cave?
Because there's another battle that's coming, and it's a battle of ESG.
It's a battle of being on the wrong side.
You notice no BLM people went to jail.
Nothing serious, right?
But
if you were against the left,
if you were a conservative, if you were for Trump,
you now, you've just been disappeared.
And they're trying to break your spirit.
Are you strong enough to do that?
Are you strong enough to be a pariah?
See, fear is all they have.
When you stop fearing them, you got them.
