Built Bar is

a company that, I don't know when they started, but I know my wife picked this up a couple of years ago on her Instagram page and started talking about it.

And people went nuts for this.

And eventually, she gave it to some Built Bars to everybody that she knew, I think.

And Tanya was one of them.

She fell in love with them.

And then...

And Tanya started telling everybody she knew.

Yes, including you.

Yes.

And you, of course, didn't listen.

No, you didn't listen because it was your wife speaking.

And she was speaking about health.

So you didn't listen at all.

Right.

But the point is that these are protein bars that have incredible stats.

I mean, great protein, great calorie, low calorie count.

But also, forget all that, they taste really good.

They got a million flavors.

This

the Glenback Program.

Free at last, free at last.

Thank God Almighty, Texas is free at last.

Governor Abbott yesterday came out and said, well, now,

now we can take our masks off.

Oh, really?

Yo, I mean, not right now.

Next Wednesday.

God forbid we do it right now.

Some people are excited by this.

Some people are very, very upset with this.

I would put myself in that category, but not for the reasons everyone else is very, very upset.

We go into freedom

in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Jeffrey is from Texas.

You can tell because he's the sort of guy at 71 who still owns his auto-detailing business and rides a motorcycle, you know,

like everybody does at 71.

Of course, he wasn't always this way.

Jeffrey went through a period where it was hard for him to do any of it because of the severe knee and lower back pain.

Everybody starts to get aches and pains as they age.

But when you live life to the fullest like Jeffrey does, you know, it gets pretty bad.

He decided that he wasn't going to take it lying down.

He heard about Relief Factor, decided to give it a try, and you know what happened next.

Jeffrey got his life back.

He continues to take it every day, and it's working out for him every day.

Relief Factor.

It's not a drug developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

So just try the three-week quick start for only $19.99, $19.95.

You will know within the first three weeks if this is going to work for you.

So go to Relief Factor and try it for three weeks.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384.

It's relief factor.com, 800-500-8384.

I mean, we could talk more

about Cuomo, which we didn't really have time to do yesterday.

I'm always up for that.

Yeah, but I think we have to start with Governor Abbott.

Texas should be ashamed of itself, quite honestly, the way it has handled COVID.

You know, Governor Abbott had the chance to be, you know, Christy Noome or DeSantis.

You know, this is everybody's take around here.

I don't understand.

Because we're Texans.

You haven't fully embraced the Texas space.

I freaking love Texas, and I never want to leave it, frankly.

So I

you're, but like, I guess

understanding the criticism, I think it's mainly just mask mandate as opposed to no mask mandate, right?

Like that's the, that's the, seems to be the crux of this completely, which again, I agree with the criticism.

It seems to make no sense or difference, frankly.

I was in Florida where there's no mask mandate, and it was exactly the same as life here.

Right.

Exactly the same.

Exactly right.

But like pragmatically,

did not affect life that much.

Exactly right.

So I agree with you.

They shouldn't have had the mandate.

You make the choice.

Correct.

What happened yesterday that really hacked me off is, and we'll play the audio later on in the program.

Let me know when you get this clip.

We've got the whole thing except this one part that was just like

nuclear explosion in my head.

And that was Texans now are

prepared to be able to deal with this on their own.

Yeah, I think that is what was on the show on September.

You have that?

Students America last night.

That clip was pulled for Studos America last night.

We can pull that one.

But yeah, no,

you've got it here.

Last March,

most Texans had no clue about the precautions needed to avoid COVID.

Now,

Texans have mastered the daily habits to avoid getting COVID.

Oh.

That is

big brother.

You would not say, first of all, that Texans would be any different than the rest of the country.

In the beginning of this, of course, no one knew what they were doing.

All you have to do is ask.

All you have to do is explain and then say, you should do this.

We would have.

And we should, frankly, note that many of the scientists didn't yet know all the things we were supposed to be doing.

Right.

like, yeah, because at the part, he also went on to say, basically, like, we are now at the point where the state mandate is no longer needed.

And that hit me as well.

It's like, come on.

The state mandate was never needed.

But I don't think it had much of an effect.

I mean, I don't think it, Texans did what they did.

And, you know, Texans still, here's the difference.

Here's the difference.

Talking to a friend last night that just had like a family reunion and they all got together.

Some of them were from New York.

Some of them from California and some of them from Texas.

And they all got together.

And they said that the people from California were almost

they were socially backwards.

Yeah.

They couldn't function around people.

And it was weird.

It was like when they opened up restaurants in May here, I remember going out the first time and it was weird.

It felt weird walking into a restaurant with other people eating indoors in May of 2020.

Now it's March of 2021.

It no longer feels weird at all.

I do it all the time.

We've been doing it for a long time here in Texas.

But like, you're right.

These places that have been shut down, they've lost the ability to

act.

Right.

And there are two nations now.

Those who are absolutely absolutely afraid, terrified, don't know how to interact with people.

And those who are like, dude, it's okay.

It's okay.

Put on your mask.

I mean, it is, it's the tale of two countries.

It's weird.

And this would be my argument, I think.

in favor of Greg Abbott.

And again, I don't think he's handled this perfectly.

I don't think anybody has, frankly.

But like.

DeSantis has done a pretty good job.

A pretty good job.

Yeah, I think DeSantis has done a pretty good job.

But really, the difference between DeSantis and Abbott is the state mask mandate.

And again, I was in both states, and there's no difference in all of that.

But it's not that.

It's just

trust the people to do the right thing.

I think the difference is basically masks became this dumb cultural divider.

Yes.

And it will never be anything other than that.

So that's why people are affected by it.

But just to step back for a second, you just described two nations, right?

Two nations, one where people are freaked out to go outside,

they're all Karens and living in their Karen lives.

And a freedom country, right, where people are much more free.

You definitely put Texas in that category.

You can't put it in the

Karen category.

I just am upset that Texas should lead the way.

Texas is Texas.

Yeah.

Texas should lead the way on freedom.

And you'd say that they did not.

And I think that that's probably, it's fair.

They're one of the earliest ones reopening.

I mean, but they are not as, they did not go.

They were one of the first states to open up restaurants.

They were one of the first states to open up businesses to 50 and 75%.

And now they're one of the first states to make a big announcement about 100.

Now, you could fairly say places like South Dakota and even places like Georgia and Florida have been,

they had less restrictions or removed them earlier.

And I think that's true.

And I think there's a lot of political calculation behind the big splashy announcement from Texas yesterday.

I mean, it's not, oh,

there's a lot in there.

But again, like there are places, it's hard to do.

I don't think it had anything to do with the mess up of the state with the

electricity.

I'd say there's a dash of, holy crap, the whole power outage.

We were four minutes away from losing power for months in Texas.

There's a dash of that.

Yeah.

And there's a dash of, isn't 2022 and 2024, aren't they both around the corner?

They're all coming up, right?

Right.

There's a little bit of that in there.

But again, you know,

leaning toward freedom is an important thing.

I would quibble with many of the details as the way, not only the way Texas handled it, but Florida as well.

There's parts of Florida's reaction I didn't like either.

But like, I think, you know, leaning towards freedom and leaning towards lockdown, it's a massive

difference in people's lives.

And the biggest one, you probably see it with schools, where, you know, these kids are now going for a full year in New York and California of not going to school.

Where, you know, my kid was in school full time, in person, August 13th, and they have had zero days off for COVID since, with the exception of when we actually got it.

So I should point that out.

We did quarantine for a week or so there.

But, I mean,

the school hasn't been canceled since it started.

That is not the experience of most of the nation.

And I do think it is important to understand that.

Well,

whatever.

I just come back.

Yeah, thank you.

I mean, I just, it's all blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It's not that to me.

Because

it is,

you ask people to do the right thing and say, look, this is what you need to do.

And then they do it.

And if they don't do it, they don't do it.

It is in a free country.

Well, I can't say we're a free country anymore.

We're now banning books.

We banned Dr.

Seuss.

It's true.

So to me, it's like this idea of like a speed limit, right?

The speed limit functionally exists.

Right.

And people actually do get fined for that.

I don't think anyone, I think literally zero people in the entire state of Texas were fined at the state level for the mask mandate.

I could be wrong on that, but I believe the number is zero.

I don't think they enforced it at all.

I think it was just words.

And so in a way, like you think of like a speed limit where like no one pays attention to it.

Everyone goes by it, but they don't triple it.

Right.

I think that's the idea of the mask mandate.

Again, you walk around these stores all the time in Texas, and

it's a lot higher in mask mandate, mask usage than, I mean, really the split isn't that wide.

But like if you go New York, it's going to be 100% in every place you go into.

Here, it's like maybe 80, right?

But still, you go to Florida, it's like 75.

Yeah, I mean,

if companies want to continue the mask mandate, they can do that.

And they will.

Toyota says they're not going to.

fine.

That's fine.

It's going to keep going.

You know, everybody has a right to do what they feel is the right thing.

You own a company.

I will tell you, I own the Mercury Studios.

And Mercury Studios open for business next Wednesday.

When the state lifts the mandate,

then I am opening for business.

And I'm only doing that because I have tenants in the building.

And some tenants are very, very freaked out.

Some tenants are not freaked out.

Some people in each company is freaked out.

Some people are not.

You never know.

No, no, no.

And so I am going by the legal standard because I'm not going to get sued for it.

So I want to be a good landlord and I'm not going to get sued for it.

So if people were freaked out, that's totally fine.

I completely understand that.

But the mandate is over.

And I'm opening the freaking doors.

You know, we don't have oompa loompas here.

The chocolate factory needs to open up again.

I think a family of them did move back in that corner.

I saw something going on.

It smells like chocolate.

I don't know what's going on.

There is that possibility, yes.

All right, let me tell you about my Patriot supply.

Do not allow yourself to be caught off guard when the unexpected happens.

What you do when something like a natural disaster rolls through the area where you live says everything about you and how prepared you are.

Are you one of the people at the grocery store waiting in line for hours just to find that most of the essentials aren't there anymore?

Or are you somebody that doesn't worry about it?

When it comes to your food storage, please call My Patriot Supply.

When you watch tonight's show at 9 p.m.,

I think you're going to want to get My Patriot Supply.

I think there are a lot of things that you're going to do after tonight's show at 9 p.m.

9 p.m.

on Blaze TV.

My Wednesday night special is about the financial

district, the banks, and what they're doing for the great reset, the things that they've already implemented

that will blow your mind.

Already there.

Not a conspiracy theory.

I've got it on their own documents.

It will blow your mind how fast this thing is coming down.

You want to be as independent as you possibly can be.

Go to mypatriotsupply.com right now and get food storage that you need for an emergency.

Food kits ship in one to two days, arrive discreetly at your door, so don't wait.

10 seconds station ID.

So, Stu, U.S.

Capitol Police announced yesterday that they are planning to beef up security and staffing after becoming aware of concerning information and intelligence pertaining to March 4th.

Whoa, what's happening March 4th?

March 4th.

Two sources say officers, the Capitol Police officers, got a bulletin on Tuesday and it specifically names the militia group the Three Percenters.

Members of the group are accused in the Capitol riot on January 6th.

Okay, okay, all right.

This is good.

We now have

who is claiming all of this and how dangerous and how huge they are.

So I went to Wikipedia, the source of all truth.

And I just looked, did a quick search for the three percenters so you don't have to be put on a list.

Three percenters.

Googled it.

Yeah, yeah.

Three percenters are an American and Canadian far-right anti-government militia movement.

The group advocates gun ownership rights, well, that's very anti-government, and resistance to the federal government.

The group's name derives from the erroneous claim that there are only 3% of American colonists who are actively fighting in the field against the British forces at any given time in the American Revolution.

The group is American-based, but also has a presence in Canada.

One Canadian expert,

a former neo-Nazi who works with the Center for the Prevention of Radicalization Leading to Violence, created in 2015 by the city of Montreal, was supported, blah, blah, blah.

That's a FUD organization.

Yeah, considers the group the most dangerous extremist group in Canada.

But what does that mean, though?

The second one is like, you know, the Girl Scouts.

The movement has been characterized as part of the broader Patriot movement.

Founded in 2008, it was given impetus by the election of Barack Obama.

Members then believed Obama's presidency would lead to increased government interference in the lives of individuals.

I never saw that come.

I never saw that one come.

Many members are foreign, current members of the military, police, and other law enforcement agencies, blah, blah, blah, as well as groups

such as the Oath Keepers.

Now, listen to this.

The movement was co-founded by Mike Brian Vanderbo from Alabama, a member of the Oath Keepers, a group whom the three percenters remain loosely allied and are often compared.

Vanderborough claims to have formerly been a member of the Students for a Democratic Society and the Socialist Worker Party, but he abandoned left-wing politics and politics in general after being introduced to libertarianism.

Lemberg says in the book, Road to Serfdom, it pushed him to the right.

He became a Second Amendment activist by the 1990s.

He later became known for popularizing anti-government conspiracy

theories after the Oklahoma City bombing.

I just want to give you

the part here that I just thought was just really absolutely fantastic.

The group's members have a record of involvement in criminal activity.

started this group, and it was to replace another group that he said that he was starting.

So many groups.

I know.

He started another group.

But anyway, Mike Brian Vanderboat,

when he started the group, in the article, it says, although it appears he was its only member.

That's not a group.

That's a definition of a group.

Yeah, that does not qualify for.

Now, this group does have, but

if it's led by a guy whose last group had him as the only member.

I'm not so afraid of it.

You know what I mean?

I'm not saying we don't pay attention to it, but

it's not something that we're like, this is the biggest threat to democracy ever in the history of the world.

No, I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Calling one person a group is usually just a fat joke.

That's all it is.

Yeah, no, I wouldn't.

There's this thing going on, and I think this is

wrong to look at January 6th this way, which is like basically like these Capitol police didn't, you know, didn't see anything coming.

None of these groups saw anything coming, and we should be angry at them for not seeing it coming.

The reason they didn't see it coming is because

Trump groups have had thousands and thousands of rallies and never anything like this occurred.

Correct.

That's why

they've even said that, which is basically like, look,

we saw...

We saw these, I think Ray said it yesterday.

We saw these aspirational comments.

We want to take over the Capitol.

Like, of course, there's some idiot always saying that.

Right.

But they didn't think it was actually going to happen.

Right.

And this is, this is, I mean, here's the quote.

Vanderborough claimed to be the

commander of the Alabama militia group, the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment, though he appeared to be its sole member.

I love that.

Fantastic.

All right.

here's the thing.

You're right about that.

But there, and there are, I believe, white extremist groups.

I believe there are Nazi groups.

There are, you know, Antifa groups.

We know the Antifa group

is well populated enough to cause real trouble.

Yeah, they're just doing it in different cities.

That's all.

How many people are in this group?

I don't know.

But I don't think our federal government is going to have a hard time cracking the case if it's this group.

And they're going to arrest hundreds of them, right?

I mean, not

hundreds of them.

Not of the one, not of the group of one people.

But the group.

I mean, some of these groups groups are large.

I mean, the oath keepers is pretty large.

And again, that doesn't mean that everybody in that organization even is, you know, there's a problem.

I don't know much about them, frankly.

Their idea was,

you know, make sure that you stand for the oath that you take to protect and defend the Constitution.

Right.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Obviously, conceptually, there's no problem with that.

It's just a matter of, you know, you never know.

Some of these groups do get out of control sometimes.

I know.

It's totally true.

I know.

But like, there's this narrative that

now we have to take every online comment as if it's going to occur.

Yes, of course the FBI should be looking at these things online when people are posting they're going to take over federal buildings.

But like that doesn't the answer to this seems to be, well, since there's online comments, we keep the 12-foot wall around the Capitol till the end of time.

That's ridiculous.

That is not the right answer.

It's ridiculous.

Let me just say quickly,

we have some breaking news with CPAC.

And it's weird.

It doesn't seem to be the story that they were worshiping Nazis.

In fact, they didn't even design the stage.

Oh, we have a statement from the group that designed the stage.

And I just have a few questions at the top of the hour, joined by Matt Schlapp from CPAC.

This is the Glenback program.

Stu,

you had a theory yesterday.

1% chance.

Hmm.

Car Shield.

Back in the old days, you didn't need something like Car Shield around.

If your horse broke down on the way to work, you pulled out the shotgun, told them to think about rabbits, and got a new horse after that.

Ever since then, the invention of the car we've been driving is, it's become much more efficient and much more comfortable.

The drawback is it's a complex machine, and it gets more and more complex every year.

And when it breaks down, now it's not something you can run to pet boys for.

It might be a chip.

You won't know what's really wrong with your car.

And if it is a chip, it could be 500 bucks, it could be $5,000.

Now, you could spend all your time worrying about how in the world am I going to pay for the repairs if that check engine light comes on, or you can just let it go and let somebody else worry about it.

Car Shield.

Car Shield covers me.

I'm not on the hook to pay thousands of dollars, and you don't have to.

When your warranty runs out, make sure you have Car Shield.

Do it now.

If I were a Democrat, I'd centralize power in Washington by nationalizing our elections.

It wouldn't be enough to hold all three branches temporarily.

I'd need to make it permanent.

So I'd change the rules.

If I were a Democrat, I'd flood the voter pool.

I'd require all states to allow same-day voter registration.

I'd mandate states automatically register felons, illegal aliens, and 16-year-olds to vote.

I'd require prisons, welfare offices, and ICE to provide their voter registration information.

I'd also use taxpayer dollars to establish aggressive voter recruitment programs at leftist training camps, otherwise known as colleges and universities.

If I were a Democrat, I'd begin a chronicle of lies that all voter verification laws are racist, and with that distraction, I'd enable illegal voting.

Banning all voter ID laws would be an important step.

If any local official dared question the ability of one of my illegal voters, I would throw them in jail.

I'd threaten force until no one dared resist.

I'd block efforts to verify signatures and citizenship in the name of counting every vote, not just every legal one.

I'd make it more difficult for poll watchers and ensure accountability, citizen oversight, is a pest.

I'd make the fraud-ridden mail-in voting of the 2020 pandemic election permanent.

To ensure that I would win on election day or election month under the new scheme, I would allow aggressive ballot harvesting to begin 45 days before the election.

I'd count votes received 10 days late in case we need to drum up some more missing ballots.

If I were a Democrat, I'd siphon the power of states to the federal government.

I'd ignore the Constitution and prevent states from determining their own voting practices.

If conservative states didn't readily relinquish their authority, I'd reduce their representation in Congress and give their electoral votes to my friends in California or New York.

For good measure, I'd strip all state legislatures of their ability to decide how congressional districts are drawn.

I'd also prohibit states from enforcing their election law.

Next, I'd give D.C.

a statehood.

Now I'd have the Senate.

If I were a Democrat, I'd marginalize the courts and limit access to challenges.

I'd insist that all election lawsuits be processed only by my friends in the district court in Washington, D.C.

If I were a Democrat, I'd talk about taking money out of politics, but would tax businesses to provide kickbacks and multiply my own campaign war chest by 600%.

If I were a Democrat, I'd be a career politician.

I'd enrich the swamp while further bankrupting America.

To sweep away any ethics challenges, I'd change the bipartisan Federal Election Commission into a partisan board with a new czar governed by the ruling party, mine.

Now, I know these changes are ambitious.

There would be backlash, so I'd silence dissent and cancel free speech.

After I controlled the government, I'd want to control the people, so I'd cancel unauthorized thought.

I'd empower bureaucrats to prosecute individual Americans for posting

fact-checkers deem misinformation.

I'd dox and censor anyone who donated to my opponents by having the government publish their personal information.

Then I'd weaponize the IRS to strip conservative churches and nonprofits of their tax-exempt status.

If I were a Democrat, I'd use the weight of the federal government to crush anyone who opposed me.

In other words, if I were a Democrat, I'd pass for the Swamp Act, H.R.

This was written by Congressman Lauren Boebert, who is with us now.

Congressman, how are you?

Glenn Beck, I am fantastic.

Thanks so much for having me on and

pulling out your chalkboard to spell that out.

Well, tell me how much of this that is in there, how much of this is that you wrote about is actually in HR1?

100%.

is all in H.R.

The Democrats are attempting to hijack the American language and call this the For the People Act.

This is not for the people.

This is absolutely for the swamp.

This is for politicians.

This is a D.C.

takeover of our elections.

And as a conservative, I am always going to promote

states' rights and prevent a federalized takeover of our elections.

So this is everything proposed in this seems to me to be unconstitutional.

The federal government has nothing to do with the election process.

That has to be decided by each individual state.

That's correct.

And, you know, it's interesting when some of my fellow colleagues and I

went went about objecting to some states in the 2020 election because they went against the Constitution.

They went against their state constitution that

says the state legislatures determine the election laws.

And we have secretaries of state and attorneys general and rogue judges changing election laws in certain states.

And so my colleagues and I objected to those certain states for not following the state constitution and violating the federal constitution.

Democrats called us treasonists.

They called us traitors.

They called us insurrectionists.

And

now they're saying after claiming that there was nothing wrong with the 2020 election, it was perfect.

It was flawless.

There were zero irregularities.

Nothing was out of hand.

Now they're saying, man, our election system is so messed up.

We have to pass H.R.1 and fix it and fortify these elections.

And in actuality, all they are doing is codifying everything that we saw wrong in the 2020 election.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So this goes up for vote today.

in Congress, and it's going to pass.

This will pass the House, unfortunately.

So we absolutely need the Senate to hold the line here.

And we need to message to the American people just how bad this is for America, for our constitutional republic, for democracy.

This is terrible to have taxpayer-funded politicians who in their right mind would ever want their tax dollars to go to a political campaign.

You know, there's just so much wrong in this when it comes to taking out voter ID laws and same-day voter registration and eliminating voter signature verification.

So this will pass the House.

We have a majority rule.

We're a majoritarian body, a self-governing body, and it's going to pass the House.

But we need the Senate to hold the line.

And what are the chances?

Are you hearing anything from the Senate?

I mean, if any of this passes.

It's going to be bad.

Correct.

I do believe that the Senate will remain strong.

We need to continue to message.

Right now, I'm in the minority in the House.

So my job is to get in the Democrats' way and tell the American people what I'm doing to get in the Democrats' way.

And that message going out needs to be heard loud and clear by our senators

who know exactly what this bill is all about.

And I do believe that they will prevent this from passing the Senate.

So I just saw a notice from the federal government that I am not allowed, no one is, allowed to travel without the new, what is it, gold star, some sort of thing on everybody's driver's license.

And I have to have it this year, otherwise you're never going to be able to fly.

You're not going to be able to travel.

Why is it that the federal government

makes people get a license if they're a hairdresser or a nail salon worker, but you don't have to have a license license to go vote.

I don't understand how saying that you need some identification and we need to verify your signature is somehow or another racist.

It's not.

You know, it's them hijacking the narrative.

And this isn't the first time we've had a gold star program in the world and

it didn't turn out too well for the first time.

Can you explain the gold star?

What is the difference in our driver's license?

What does the gold star even mean?

What does it do?

This is all about control.

And so this is the federal government showing who they have control of.

Obviously, they don't listen to these bogus rules that they're putting in place.

They don't follow their own laws, their own mandates.

You have Nancy Pelosi, who can go into a salon and get her hair done masless while shaming the rest of Americans.

You have

governors going to the French laundry when families can't sit at home and have a Thanksgiving meal with their loved ones.

In Denver, we had Denver Mayor Hancock get on a plane and fly away.

This is all about complete control.

HR1,

all of this is a continuation of cancel culture.

They are trying to cancel the voice of 75-plus million Americans.

They're trying to cancel state rights.

They're trying to cancel our Constitution.

And Glenn, I refuse to bow down to this cancel mob.

I will stand up and and fight for the American people each and every day.

Well, I appreciate it.

I appreciate the

op-ed that you wrote for the Blaze.

You can find that if I were a Democrat at theblaze.com and share it with friends.

This is happening today and going to the Senate, and people need to understand

what it means.

And

Congressman Lauren Bobert has written a very clear piece that

I think everybody on both sides would go, yeah, well, that's crazy.

That's not going to happen.

When you understand that's exactly what this bill is, HR1,

it hopefully will wake people up.

So please get this.

We'll tweet it out in a second.

You can find it at theblaze.com and send it to as many friends as you possibly can.

Thank you, Congressman.

I appreciate it.

Thank you so much, Glenn.

And please have your listeners go to laurenforfreedom.com.

I'm going to need all the help I can get in this fight.

You got it.

Thank you.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

it would be great for them because they'd get their socialist.

Tonight on Glenn TV.

How's your climate credit score?

That's a question we'll all have to answer soon as America inches closer to China's social credit system and companies are punished for not being green enough.

You've identified companies making insufficient progress.

Many companies have not moved forward.

Glenn exposes the finance fascist plan to crush banks, businesses, and your investment future.

Operation Chokepoint 2.0, the climate credit system.

Tonight, 9 p.m.

Eastern at Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

The Glenn Beck Program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So yesterday,

after this program, Stu said to me during the show, hey, Glenn, would you give it a 1%

chance

that maybe somebody who designed the CPAC stage

did it intentionally, like as a troll, essentially, to make the Republicans look bad.

Somebody that didn't like CPAC.

And I said, yeah, I'd give it a 1% chance.

So then after the show,

I instructed our producers to start to dig.

Who designed the stage?

Who was the first to say the stage was a Nazi symbol?

We wrote the production design house that actually designed the stage yesterday around 3 o'clock.

Dear so-and-so, I'm the executive producer for Glenn Beck and run program for Blaze Media.

I understand CPAC used your company as a vendor for 10 years and did so again for stage design this year.

Can you explain the design process for the stage that some claim was intentionally designed with Nazi symbolism in mind?

Was it just an unfortunate coincidence?

Or did perhaps a rogue employee from the design foundry throw the designs?

Some have speculated that it is possible someone at Design Foundry was intentionally trying to sabotage the CPAC reputation.

We, however, would like to give both your company and CPAC the benefit of the doubt, as we believe most Americans are not even familiar with this obscure Nazi symbolism.

If this is an unfortunate coincidence, we sure would like to hear from you directly.

We're happy to report on a provided statement from you or Design Foundry at large for Glenn's radio listeners tomorrow so America can hear the truth rather than speculations.

Our deadline is 7 a.m.

Eastern tomorrow.

Well,

as I went to bed last night, I didn't think we were going to have a statement for you, but we received one.

And

I'm very excited to share it with you.

And it leads me to all kinds of questions.

Like,

why would a company that has been in business for 10 years with CPAC

remain silent?

Why wouldn't CPAC go to them immediately and say, hey, who designed this stage?

And can you guys please come out and say, because we're getting hammered here.

Why wouldn't CPAC ask for them to do that?

That seems weird.

I've got some questions for Matt Schlapp on that.

I mean, who wouldn't think of at least calling this company and saying, hey, you guys designed it, not us?

What's the deal?

And if it was just a coincidence, you would think that that partner of 10 years would run to a microphone and say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Lots of questions, and I have a feeling a few answers.

Do I detect that you're up to maybe 2% here on this?

Are you a little north of 1%?

You know, I'm going to let you decide.

I'm just being fair and going to give you all of the facts.

We've heard the facts from the media, who is really, really, it's important to fact check everything.

So, we've heard the facts from the media.

Let's dig just a little deeper than a tweet.

Next,

this is is the Glenn Bach program.

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

This

the Glenback program.

Having worked with Norse and Elder Foot Hark

iconography for years,

I'm quite alert to the glyph shapes and their associations in the modern world and history.

So why is the CPAC 2021 stage an odal rune?

And specifically, one with seraphs or wings that was used by the SS?

This is the origin of that lie.

We're going to put that lie to rest because yesterday a few things bothered me.

Gee,

did CPAC actually design the stage?

If so, who at CPAC did it?

Or was it an outside organization?

And if it was an outside organization, why didn't CPAC just call them and say, hey, did you design the stage to look like an Odal rune?

And how come they weren't out in the public on Saturday or even Friday afternoon saying that?

And if these things were true,

where's PolitiFact?

Where's the media?

Where is anyone saying to Morgan Freeman and

Alyssa Milano and all of the other organizations that wrote stories about how that Nazi symbol found its way on the stage of CPAC?

Boy, there's a lot to sort out, but it probably isn't as complex as you think.

Matt Schlapp from CPAC is with us.

Oh, and

I've got a statement from the designers of the stage that we asked asked for yesterday and got late last night for today's program.

Huh,

it's interesting.

I'll share it in 60 seconds.

All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Brian lives in Alabama over the past few years.

He's been suffering from so, so much pain, so frequently, so debilitating that it limited his mobility.

He was barely able to get around the house, let alone go out and live his normal daily life.

Like millions of Americans who suffer from pain, Brian was beginning to despair, and he had tried a number of things,

but they either didn't work or they left him feeling less lucid than he cared to be.

Finally, this past year, Brian stumbled across the solution.

He heard me talking about Relief Factor and decided, I mean, I don't know.

I mean, this clown might be right.

As it turns out, he found that this clown was right.

Turned out, he had

about 90% of his pain gone just with the three-week quickstart trial.

First three weeks, 90% of his pain was gone.

Brian got his life back.

So can you.

Relief Factor, not a drug, but developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

You can order the three-week quickstart for only $19.95, so do it now.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384.

Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, is joining us now.

Matt, this has been one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.

And

while it's laughable,

it is extraordinarily dangerous of what happened to CPAC this weekend.

Yeah, Glenn, thanks for having me on.

And thanks for using your immense gifts to try to figure out the story here.

Because, you know, we CPAC is an amazing thing to put on.

Someone just told me that if we had been an advertiser in the Super Bowl, we would have been number two

because it just gets so much attention, but it gets good attention and bad attention, right?

It's a conference, unlike anything on the globe where conservatives come together.

Liberals don't have anything like it except for the daily news that's right on television.

And so what they do is they try to do everything possible to just, you know, slime us, to stop us, to distract us.

And every time we walk into this, we say, anything could come our way.

We have to be open and ready.

But in my wildest dreams, I never thought this would come our way.

So here's what happened.

Yesterday, Stu said to me, Is there a 1% chance that somebody intentionally sabotaged CPAC?

And I thought to myself, yeah, there's a 1% chance.

Let's see who designed the stage.

Well, in our research, we found that Design Foundry designed your stage.

And I contacted you.

Is that who designed your stage?

They've been partners for how long?

Several years, and they do

excellent work.

And they work for a lot of companies and liberal organizations.

And they're a group of talented artists.

So we sent them an email, tried to contact them, and then we sent them an email yesterday afternoon, early in the afternoon, and said, can you please explain the design process

for the claim that it, you know, some people claim that it was intentionally designed with Nazi symbolism in mind?

Was that an unfortunate coincidence?

Or did a rogue employee from Design Foundry throw the designs?

Some have speculated that it's possible that someone at Design Foundry was intentionally trying to sabotage the CPAC reputation.

We, however, would like to give both your company and CPAC the benefit of the doubt, as we believe most Americans are not even familiar with this obscure Nazi symbolism.

If this is an unfortunate coincidence, we'd like to hear from you directly.

We're going to report on a provided statement from you or Design Factory at large for Glenn's radio program tomorrow.

You have a 7 a.m.

Eastern deadline.

They did last night issue this statement to us.

They said,

we were retained by the American Conservative Union Foundation to design the stage for this year's CPAC conference.

As part of our working agreement,

the client provided our team with feedback, revisions, and final approval on all aspects of deliverables outlined in the contract, including stage design.

The approved stage design was intended to provide the best use of space given the constraints of the ballroom and social distancing requirements.

The iterative design process included review and input from CPAC, the hosting event space, other vendors, and county officials.

We had no idea that the design resembled any symbol, nor was there any intention to create something that did.

We are saddened and horrified at the accusations that this was a deliberate act.

Design Foundry denounces all hate speech and acts of racism, prejudice, or bigotry in all forms.

The evolution of the stage design renderings can be found here with relevant time stamps.

So they provided a Google Drive of all of the renderings.

How did this come down?

Did you guys at any point say, well, that's not quite Nazi enough?

Or how did this happen?

No,

within the documents, it says that they actually retain ownership of the design.

It's 100%.

their design.

Now, of course, it's collaborative because we're paying the bills and the stage has to work well.

I mean, one of the things we've done, and Glenn, you've been on that stage so many times is to try to demystify the stage, bring it to the people, that people sit around the stage and not make it so formalized.

And just because of the way this room was, this design was the best one that this company came up with.

I mean, we're not artists.

We're other things, right?

We have other talents.

And

so, you know, I understand the reason why everyone's so quiet, Glenn, is because one of the things that cancel culture does is they slime you with an unjust charge or name, and everybody runs for the tall grass.

Everybody runs for the tall grass.

Well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Before you go there, let me ask you.

This is a partner of many years of yours.

If I did something on stage and I was a partner with you and you had asked me to do work for you, I would immediately step to the, you wouldn't even have to call me.

I would say, no, no, no, that's on us.

We did it, and that was not the intention.

But I would expect that you would call.

Why didn't you call Design Foundry right away and say, hey, this is your design?

Make a statement.

Not only did we not call them right away, they were, I believe, right there because they helped with every aspect of the stage.

I believe there was somebody either on-site or in constant communication.

So,

you you know,

those conversations happened immediately.

Like, what is this?

You know, my last name is Schlapp.

I've never heard of this Nazi sign.

I mean, this really hit me as a complete surprise.

We have a young man working for us who studied anti-Semitism in college.

And he was like, I don't understand what they're saying the symbol is.

So it's not like it was a well-recognized thing.

Now, is it possible that somebody

in this process was

trying to be very clever and set us up from a PR standpoint.

You know, I guess we'll learn more as the days go by.

So, but wait,

you did say, hey, what's the deal?

And did you ask them to come out?

Because it wasn't until last night that they came out and said...

Of course you did.

Of course we did.

So why would a good partner?

Why would a good partner do that to you?

Because,

well, first of all,

as I said, everybody runs for the tall grass, right?

Maybe people don't don't have courage.

Maybe people don't have integrity.

You know, that's clearly a part of this, where both the Hyatt and this firm looked to CPAC and said, look, hands off, we have nothing to do with this stage.

That's outrageous.

This whole process takes months.

Glenn, you do these huge productions.

This whole process takes months.

You go back and forth and back and forth.

You have to hire all the talent because we can't miss our deadlines because thousands of people and all the press is going to be there assembled.

Everybody saw this.

Everybody had to figure out how to construct this.

Everybody had eyes on it from every angle.

Nobody in that process ever raised their hand and said, oh, you know,

I took a European history class and I noticed dot dot dot nobody because it wasn't something that somebody would recognize.

No.

I know.

No, it's a rape.

That's why it's so shocking.

Tell me, I was very disappointed with the Hyatt.

The Hyatt first defended you.

Did the Hyatt know that this stage

was not of your doing, but of this design firm's doing?

Yes, because

the design firm, the hotel, and CPAC work collaboratively to be able to construct it.

You have to actually construct the thing.

And the hotel has to agree with who's going to do that work.

Everyone has to understand it's got to meet a certain bid.

So what our two partners did to us is basically,

you know, point the other way and say, I'm not sure what this is, but go talk to CPAC.

Now, we're fine with taking the hits.

We always take the hits.

It's part of being a prominent conservative group.

You're going to take the hits, but we're not going to let people lie.

And we're not going to let people, you know, the underlying, the most important thing here, Glenn, is would we somehow think it would be amusing or funny to have anything associated with...

fascism or Nazism associated with the conference.

And of course, the conference does exactly the opposite.

So if we want to make,

if we want to expel bigotry from our society, including anti-Semitism,

we do just the opposite at that conference to being anti-Semitic.

But they don't care about that.

They wanted to catch us

in this.

You know that I have a good relationship with

the state of Israel and Jewish organizations.

You provide

service for Jewish organizations.

There's a big conservative Jewish organization that every time I'm at CPAC, CPAC, I attend on the Sabbath.

I go and I speak to them.

Yes.

And it's a big deal.

What kind of anti-Semites would have a Shabbat dinner?

For the love of Pete.

It's ridiculous.

All right.

I want to take a one-minute break and then come back with you, Matt, and ask you about why this is really dangerous.

Why are

people doing this?

I think it's pretty obvious, but I don't think people know, I don't think they've thought through thoroughly what this kind of stuff does

to a movement other than those who are doing it.

They know exactly what they're doing.

In one minute, we continue.

First, let me tell you about AMAC.

When the time to choose an advocacy group that is right for you, where do you turn?

There are lots of options out there, some of them good, some of them not so good.

But one that I really believe in is AMAC.

It stands for the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Now, if that sounds like it might apply to you, then you need to take some time today and check AMAC out for yourself.

They represent courage, as Matt just said, lack of courage.

Men's hearts are failing them.

AMAC represents courage and faith and reason.

in trying times.

They stand for solvency in a time of runaway debt, national security and sovereignty over unchecked borders.

They believe in the sanctity of life.

In Washington, AMAC has been pushing back for years against the radical left socialist agenda, and AMAC membership comes with a wealth of benefits and discounts, and with the advocacy for you and what you believe in.

Please stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight.

Become a member today.

The benefits are great, the cause is even greater.

Join right now at amac.us slash beck.

That's amac.us/slash beck.

amac is better better for you better for america 10 seconds station id

talking to matchlap chairman of the american conservative union uh the uh the the found the uh

company behind, if you will, CPAC.

And we've been talking about the stage that Morgan Freeman, all these people just tweeted was Nazi.

And it is so offensive, especially at a time when the media is telling us that they are the ones that are going to guard misinformation.

They're going to guard to make sure that nothing, no lies are spread.

Where's PolitiFact?

Where's Twitter?

Where's anyone on this?

This is so dangerous, Matt.

Why?

Because what the cancel culture does is they make a false charge against an American of good conscience.

And when they can, if that charge sticks, you will lose all commercial opportunities.

Your kids will be attacked on social media and potentially in schools that could be kicked out of schools.

Colleges will go after your kids and your grandkids.

This is a very serious thing.

It's no longer about having a political disagreement.

where one side seemingly wins and one side seemingly loses.

It's now about making you unfit to to be in civilized society.

And what they want to do with CPAC is let these charges kind of float out there, get verified, as you said, by places like Twitter, so that no hotel will ever, ever host conservatives, Christians, Jews,

Americans who love our founding.

They won't host them.

Where will we go?

We'll have to have our own hotels.

We'll have to have our own restaurants.

This is simply not American.

So, why would even if this is untrue, which it is,

and

it's proven now that this charge was untrue, wouldn't hotels also, just because of the mess, say, I don't want to deal with all of that?

So it doesn't matter in the end if it's true or not.

That's right.

That's the intent.

And I want to just go back in time here.

The Hyatt Regency in Orlando recruited us.

They wanted us.

They asked us for our business.

They gave us a great bid, which allowed the thousands of Americans who came here

reasonable hotel rates.

The employees came up to me and to my colleagues during the conference and said, thank God you're here.

The hotel feels for the first time like it's back to normal.

We're full.

Every room was taken.

One guy said to me, you know, if it wasn't for this conference, I wouldn't have a job altogether.

Thank you.

There was a real spirit of appreciation.

Gosh, that wasn't the story from the Hyatt on Monday afternoon or Tuesday.

They were saying that you were rude to their people.

So, yeah, and I want to say this because,

Glenn, I might have, their perception could have been that I personally was rude.

When they showed me their first statement, which basically was going to call into question whether or not we were, you know, bigoted towards Jews or Nazi sympathizers, you know what?

I did what I do when I get called these names.

I reacted.

I told them it's unacceptable.

I feel like we're so passive from the conservative community when we get called these names because we know it's not true.

but it really upsets me.

This is not right.

You can't slam someone like that.

And if you do, and if you care about these issues, and we care so deeply, like you said, about the state of Israel and the Jewish community, we do so much work with them.

The ambassador to Israel spoke from that stage.

How absurd is all this?

And they want to say, well, we're going to do an investigation about your potential ties to Nazism.

No, I'm not going to accept that.

And if that hurts someone's feelings because I'm going to defend our honor, so be it.

Good for you.

defense is one thing.

Going after and pursuing people that wronged you is another.

I would be very tempted if I were you to lodge some major lawsuits.

Well, we have a lot of very talented lawyers on our board now because that's kind of part and parcel to running a conservative group.

And we're looking very seriously at these options.

Let me take it a little broader, Glenn.

Not just this episode.

I can't tell you how many people have called me during the course of this most tumultuous of years and said, at what point does the conservative community, does the 74 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump, do the people who love America and think it's okay to read Dr.

Seuss and love Thomas Jefferson and Mount Rushmore, at what point do they start pushing back on the cancel culture?

At what point do they say this is a line you cannot cross?

I think we're at that line.

I think what I realized during this, we called our conference America Uncanceled, and the whole thing became about them canceling us.

And at what point do we not have the right to say, you can't treat us this way?

You're disparaging us.

You're destroying our reputations.

You're destroying our ability to be respected members in this community.

So I take

your challenge on pursuing our legal options very seriously.

And I think we have to go broader.

We can't let these companies just follow the woke mob.

We can't do it.

Matt, I'd like to spend, we might even do

an hour sit-down with you on my podcast when you have time.

I'd like to pursue this line of thinking with you.

I appreciate it.

And we have your back.

We're with you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Glenn Beck.

We love you.

Keep fighting.

You got it.

Conservative.org is where you can find Matt and CPAC.

It is

quite the story.

My question is: where is Facebook?

Where is PolitiFact?

Where are all of these watchdog organizations?

Has Morgan Freeman and

Alyssa Milano and others that spread this?

How about the Washington Post?

Have they been canceled?

This is the Glenbach program.

So I'm a guy who has cultivated, and even dare I say,

refined a number of hobbies.

My favorite among these is eating.

In fact, Stu was doing a commercial just a few minutes ago, and right after he finished, I said, Man, I could go for a Geno's cheese steak from Philadelphia.

And he said, What made you think of that?

And I said, I often just reflect on food.

Maybe it's just me.

It's not.

But eating is, you know, that's kind of, it's an art form to me, really.

And so being a jack of all trades and a master of none, it's just the way I roll.

I mean, you be you, boo.

I seek culinary artistry and I work hard to perfect it.

So that's why I have a RekTech.

Now, I don't know if you've ever grilled on something that can also smoke and even bake, but it is wonderful.

RekTech is a marvel of cooking science.

You're going to love it.

There is nothing like it on the market.

I urge you to A, B, compare them.

Just go to RekTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com, RekTech.com.

For anybody who likes really good food, RekTech.com.

Tonight, brand new Studios America at 8 p.m.

Eastern, followed by a brand new Glenn Beck.

Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

The promo code is Glenn.

The reason why this CPAC thing makes me so angry is because we are

being blamed for absolutely everything.

All kinds of misinformation, disinformation, and it is absolutely untrue.

Twitter came out yesterday and said they're going to permanently ban users who spread COVID misinformation.

Okay, what is that misinformation?

Like hydroxychloroquine?

That masks are iffy at best?

Unless you're wearing an N95 mask?

What is misinformation on this?

They're going to ban that, but they don't ban outright lies about the right.

Tonight, a very, very important show.

My Wednesday night special only on Blaze TV.

It's part two of a, I don't know how many parts we're going to have.

All right, I wanted to get

somebody from Newton County on.

This is in Missouri.

David Osborne is the District 2 Commissioner there, and

they have just passed

a Second Amendment Preservation Act.

Now, this is something that I have said communities have to do, states need to do.

You need to be a sanctuary city for the Bill of Rights.

David joins us now.

David, how are you?

I'm good, sir.

I'm good.

Thank you for having me on the show today.

Okay, so tell me what this bill is, why you did it, and what it's supposed to do.

Well, this is a it's actually a safety ordinance because here in Newton County, being a Class II county, we only have two areas we can pass ordinances under, and that's health or safety.

And obviously, this refers to safety because this is for the safety of our residents of Newton County.

The reason why we enacted this...

this ordinance was simply because our people were crying out to us every day,

what are you going to do to protect our Second Amendment rights, our constitutional constitutional rights?

What are you going to do about that?

I mean, I'm talking a lot of people walking into the courthouse asking us.

One gentleman brought in a letter and said, you know, I want to make my 37 acres a sanctuary area for guns.

So, you know, our responsibility is to protect our residents of Newton County.

So obviously we had to do something about that.

Had a lot of constituents and friends that just simply put this in front of me and said, here is what we need to do.

we need to pass an ordinance we need to pass something protects our second amendment rights that if that if uh the federal government wants to infringe on our second amendment rights we will absolutely give authority to our sheriff to defend us to come to the aid and protection of our law-abiding citizens it's real important to realize that we're talking about law-abiding citizens and so that's why we passed it just simply because there was a a need for it.

And I would venture to guess, Glenn, that

there's 60, let's see, just under 60,000 000 people in newton county and i bet you every one of them is in favor of this uh i can't say 100 but i would say almost every one of them because we get a call uh a letter uh numerous emails every day thanking us for standing up for the second amendment rights So this says, all federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations passed by the federal government, specifically any presidential administration, whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the people's right to keep and bear arms

as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution, shall be invalid in this county.

It shall not be recognized by this county and specifically rejected by this county.

It shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this county.

Such federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations include but are not limited to any tax levy, fee, stamp imposed in firearms, firearms, accessories, ammunition, not common to all other goods and services, which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens.

Also, any registration or tracking of firearms,

accessories, et cetera, et cetera.

I mean, it goes on.

Now, does this have,

I mean, does this have teeth?

Can you do this?

Do you know?

Sure.

Well, we did it.

Is it enforceable?

Now, that's a good question because this is unprecedented.

We haven't had to do something like this.

But I would say

if they're going to violate our Second Amendment rights, in my mind, yes, it's totally enforceable.

And we've given full authority to our sheriff to do that.

So it's up to him to enforce it.

And we just wanted to have full authority to do it.

And I think it's already in our state constitution that your local sheriffs have the ability to arrest anyone who is causing harm or damage to your residents.

And we have a very strong sheriff down here and we're very, we're very glad to have him.

Okay, so we called the sheriff and he said, and I'm quoting, I really think you should be talking with the Newton County Commission.

They wrote this county an ordinance.

It's written to show their support for the Second Amendment,

but it really is not something that can be enforced, end quote.

Well, that's totally up to him because we wrote it and give him full authority.

as far as I go as a county commissioner, again, I'm not a constitutional attorney or anything to that sort, but I would say,

you know, we want to enforce it.

And here's what we wanted to do.

I mean, the real thing is this, we want that layer of protection so that

we're not looking, we're not hoping that the federal government is going to roll in here and just start confiscating people's weapons.

What we want to do is slow them down to say, well, let's go to court and find out if we can circumvent.

your safety ordinance.

Yeah, because

that puts our day in court to where we can stand before a federal judge and say, why are they wanting to violate our Second Amendment rights?

There's only one reason, Glenn, and you know the reason.

We all know the reason.

The only reason you would want to confiscate or take away weapons from law-abiding citizens is simply to control the masses.

Well, I just wanted to get you on, David, because I think what your county

has done is

common sense.

I have been urging people to get their counties, their states, their cities to make themselves sanctuary cities or states for the Bill of Rights.

It's not just about the Second Amendment, but they're all coming under attack.

And

if they try to limit speech,

limit the press, we have to have places that will stand.

Newton County, Missouri is one of the first that I have seen to do it.

So David, thank you so much.

We are one of the first to do that.

I think we're up to 16 counties now in Missouri.

And by doing this, too, by every, and I've even said cities can do this.

If city councils want to do this, they can pass a safety ordinance to the same effect.

But every county, there's 114 counties in Missouri, if every county passes this, that shows our state legislature that they have support.

from us and that the people that elected them to office are saying, we want this.

So they go forward with that.

So that's where this movement started, and it's catching on like wildfire.

So where can people find the

language that they can propose in city council or whatever, the language you're using?

They can actually get a copy of ours by going to our website.

I believe it's downloadable on our Newton County, NewtonCounty.mo

website.

Okay.

Yeah, Newton County, NewtonCountyMo.com.

Newton Command.

NewtonCounty.mo.com.

Right.

NewtonCounty MO.com.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

David, thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

This is something that everyone should be doing right now.

You should get that.

You should find your city councilman.

You should find your county commissioner.

You should find your sheriff.

You need to start putting these kinds of things.

And he said something really important.

If all of the counties do this,

then the state knows the people have their back.

You can't start at the top.

You need a groundswell.

Quite honestly, you know,

when politicians know,

oh, wow, this is where the people are, they suddenly have some courage, not all of them, but they'll have some courage.

Right now, it's exactly what happened with CPAC.

The Hyatt folded because we don't ever stand up.

The Hyatt folded on this stupid Nazi rune thing because

they knew the left would destroy them

and nobody would have their back.

We have to have people's backs.

If we are expecting these senators and congressmen to stand up, they have to know what we believe and that if you stand with them, they're not going to be left alone.

You know, it's many times when these guys do something good, they don't don't hear from anybody.

So they're like, geez, I'm doing all this stuff and nobody's even seeing it.

Nobody is even noticing it.

You need to let them know.

Good job, bad job.

And it has to be done first at the local level.

But get involved at the local level and do it now.

By the way, they are introducing more legislation.

H.R.

1 is coming out today.

It will be passed by the House.

That is to totally change our election process.

This guarantees no Republican will ever win, ever again.

It is unconstitutional.

It takes federal control over our elections.

It makes sure that whatever happened last time can happen again.

We're just going to do voter mail all the time.

It's going to be voting months.

It is a nightmare.

And that's in our H.R.

That's going to the Senate.

It'll be voted on today.

And then they're introducing some common sense gun legislation as well.

That will probably also pass the House.
