We have a lot to talk about today. The Knicks. The drought's broken, but there's no reason to burn the city down. And a lot to say specifically to the Knicks. Not the fans, the Knicks, the management and the players. Also, Elon becomes the world's first trillionaire. But, oh, man, Elizabeth Warren is upset. So is Platner. So is Platner. There's a lot to learn. Nobody more deserving than Elon Musk. And I'll explain why. Also, Tulsi and the dni, the Pfizer bio labs, all of that exposed. I put it into perspective. All on today's podcast. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor is preborn deep inside a mom's womb. If you listen carefully, there is a voice. It's not a voice that speaks words. It's something that says something. Nonetheless, it's a heartbeat saying, I'm alive. I'm alive. This is life. This is life. This is life. A culture that has spent a very long time plugging its ears so it doesn't have time to hear that voice. But it's important to hear it. Expecting moms, especially the desperate, often choose to silence that voice. And people like Planned Parenthood, they do not want you to hear that. They do. They are dead set against ultrasounds. Why? Because when somebody walks into a preborn clinic and they're thinking about an abortion, they get the ultrasound. They hear it, and that changes the majority of women. All of a sudden, they're like, wait a minute, that's life. And she chooses life. They don't stop there either. They help moms who need it for a full two years after the child is born. So if you're a business owner, would you consider a larger donation to claim a write off? A donation of 1,000, 10,000 or 15,000 actually sponsors a full ultrasound machine for a needy clinic. But $28 buys that ultrasound. Stall tax deductible keyword baby at £250. Keyword baby, £250. Hello, America. We, you know, we've been fighting every single day.

So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top rate, review, share together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now, let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. I can't wait to show you in just a couple of minutes the difference there that something is happening and it's really good and exciting. And I'll show you. We saw it this weekend. We saw it this weekend. Let me give you this. Last night, the sports event in with the ufc. If you saw any of it, it was spectacular. It really was. So well done, so uplifting. I mean, except for the fighting till you're a bloody, you know, a bloody stump. You know, the imagery and the lessons and the music and everything was about America and it just made you feel good. Okay, Compare that to how you felt after the Knicks. My mom used to say she had this line and she would always say it, she, whenever as kids, if we would start rough housing at all, you know, you knock over a lamp and you crack something that wasn't yours to crack. And she'd stop and she'd put her hands on her hips and she would say the same six words. And I bet your mom said the same thing. What did she say? Kids, this is why we don't have nice things. I'm like, well, if they're not nice, you don't, you shouldn't. Don't say that to my mom. You get beat for that. But I heard her voice this weekend. I heard it clear, this. And I meant it. Just like my mom. This is why we can't have nice things. Because in New York City, a basketball team wins its first championship in 53 years. 53 years of waiting, of loyalty, of fathers taking their sons to the garden. And what does, what do the quote fans do with, with that joy? Well, somebody was shot. They set a school bus on fire. You know, people tried to hitch a ride on a moving fire truck. They kicked out windows of police cars, climbed statues. Around two in the morning, somebody opened fire in Times Square. Seven shots. Crossroads of the world. 17 year old girl hits the ground. That was the celebration. And that was Saturday. This thing started earlier. A Spurs fan, grown man, 40 miles from home in spirit, 1500 from home, in fact, walking back to his hotel after game three. Mob surrounds him. They beat him. They tear off his jersey, off his Back like a trophy. After game four, 10 police officers were hurt. Uh, one of them taken, you know, taking a glass bottle to the face. Teenager ends up in the hospital. Somebody thought it would be a clever idea. Idea to throw eggs at the other team's players at their own hotel. This isn't passion. Passion built the garden. Passion fills the seats. This is something else entirely. This. You know what this is? This is a society that has forgotten how to be a civil society. No regard for anything or anyone. Okay? This is why we can't have nice things. And I'm telling you, when we lose this, when we lose the simple, ancient understanding that the stranger in the other jersey is still a human being walking home to his family. We're not fans anymore. You're not even a citizen anymore. You know what you are? You. You're an animal. You're an animal. And that's what I saw on the streets of New York. Animals. And the most chilling part is how fast it happens, how thin the floor turned out to be. Because everything is tribal now. Absolutely everything. Your team, your party, your flag, your side. And the other guy, he's not a rival. He's. Did he call them animals? Yes, I did. I don't care what color anybody is. Don't care. Don't care anybody who is doing that. You're an animal. Tell me, how else do I describe somebody who just does not see another human being? And they are so excited that they just want to beat somebody with a chair out of five guys, you know? And I want to ask a question, you know, that nobody in a position of influence seems willing to ask out loud. If the so called influencers and the leaders and the famous faces won't step forward and condemn this in the harshest possible terms, who will? Because here's the easy step you think I know nothing about. Here's the layup. I think the Knicks, the coaches and the players, especially the players, the players that the kids worship, they all should have walked out the first time this happened. They should have walked out together and said, if this is how you celebrate, we don't want you as fans. You are not our fans. You shame our team. You. You shame our city. You shame this game. You know, a few players muttered something respectful into a press conference microphone and good for them. But a sound bite is not a stand. A stand is the team coming out shoulder to shoulder, looking the camera and telling the mob, not in our name. That's what you know. And. And the Knicks can still do it. It's got to be done today. But they should say, you did any of this. You are not a fan. You are not worthy of wearing a Knicks jersey because that's not who we are. We'll have nothing to do with any of this. And you know what? We want everyone prosecuted to the utmost. You were involved in this. You should go to jail. And if the teams won't do it, then the city should. Let me ask you this. How much money has New York paid? Or any other city? How much have you paid for those stupid franchises to be in your city? And what do they say? It brings money into the city. Well, really, does it? I mean, you built the stadium with public money. You pay the police to clean up after the riot. You pay for the burned out bus, the broken windows, the hospital bills. Why? Why, why is the taxpayer on the hook for this? I think the city should start finding the franchises. If the franchise won't stand up against this stuff, then the city should start finding them. Your. Your fans. And they'll all say, these aren't our fans. Well, they're doing it in your name. So what are you doing to make sure you say you're not a fan of ours? What are you doing to say not in our name? Don't do it. You know, let the people who profit from the passion pay for the carnage that the passion is now producing. The people who beat that guy who threw the bottle, who fired the shots, find them, prosecute them, put them in prison. If that's what the facts warrant, then that's, you know, you put somebody else in a hospital bed, I think you should charge it, like attempted murder. That wasn't a crime of passion. You're just an animal. That's it. It's not a riot. It's a crime against another human being. And I don't really count you as another human being. Here's the warning, and I want you to really hear it. A free society cannot survive if it requires a police state to hold it together. That's the whole game. That's it. That's it. You cannot have a free society if every time your team wins, you go out and try to kill people. You decide, I'm gonna tear the whole city down. I'm gonna set things on fire, I'm gonna shoot people. I'm gonna go into a five guys, and I'm gonna steal the food, and then I'm gonna beat the people behind the counter with a chair. You can't have a free society. Liberty depends on you governing yourself. You'd have a. You can have A bottle. You can even have the worst thing inside of you, say, oh, I got a bottle in my hand. I should throw it at that guy because I'm celebrating. And then the human part of you should say, hey, dummy, don't do that. What are you doing? And not because a cop is watching, but because that guy knows better. The moment you have a society where they just don't know any better that the people on the street just don't know. And I don't buy that at all. Here's what they know. Nobody's going to do anything about it. I can get away with this over and over and over again. We taught everybody at blm. Ah, you can march. Oh, that's not marching. That's burning cities down. What Martin Luther King did was march. What BLM did was burn cities down. What the Knicks fans did is not celebrating. That's burning cities down. The days of burning our cities down to the ground, they got to come to an end. Enough is enough. And if the decent people, the leaders, the athletes, the ones who make millions of dollars because people go to see them, if they don't get on those megaphones and end it now, you know what then? I guarantee you, some authoritarian with a badge and a boot will end it all for all of us. And maybe there's a few people that want that, but the vast majority of Americans don't. You know, if you act like an animal, I guess you need to be kept in a cat. You know, I keep coming back to the people who changed the world. It was King. It was Gandhi. It was a carpenter from Nazareth. Every one of them faced violence, real violence, far worse than a lost basketball game or even less understandable, a win. And every one of them refused to pick up a chair. They refused to become the thing that they were fighting. This isn't even that they're fighting. They're not even fighting. The Knicks won. They're not fighting. They're not sad. This is their happy. I'd hate to see them off. The refusal to act like an animal is what built every nice thing we have. The mob in Times Square is what tears it down. So enough. Enough is enough. On almost every front, I think America has had enough. But this one is easy. This one's right there. Athletes, the NBA. Stand up. Do it today. Do it today, you cowards. Say it clearly. Say it now. Mean it. We will not be celebrated this way. Do that much. Just, just, Just the basics. I know you're busy lecturing us about all kinds of other things. Love you Got to lecture us about love all the time. Why don't you just take a day and stand up and say, hey, we'd like to have nice things, and we can't have nice things, kids, if you behave this way. So don't behave this way or you'll become my father. You don't want me to stop this car? Do I need to stop this car? You don't want me to stop this car. That's what the NBA should say today. The players should be out front. Will they? No, no, no. Because the NBA can't police their own. Father's Day is coming up. It's right around the corner. And every year, we all through exactly the same exercise. We tried to find a gift for dad. Even though most dads spend their whole lives, you know, insisting, I don't need anything. The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones. They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again, over and over. The things that become part of his daily life because they're well made, they're comfortable, and they're built to last. That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day. They make premium hoodies, great T shirts, sweatshirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States. Their cotton is grown here. Their clothes are cut and sewn here. And the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way. The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on and it keeps feeling great years later. Buy American. This Father's Day, it's american-giant.com Glenn.

And don't forget, we're rate us on itunes this weekend. Elizabeth Warren stood out in front of a camera, told you that a man becoming wealthy should be a wake up call. Okay, Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. On Friday, SpaceX went public stock price, wealthiest man on earth crossed a line no human being in history has ever crossed. It's a huge responsibility. Huge responsibility. And you know, fame and fortune generally are battery acid to the soul. But, you know, let's see what happens here. So the senator from Massachusetts and also Platner comes out. She posts the video, says the typical American family will have to work 11 million years to match his fortune. Okay, Impossible. So she called it a feature of a rigged economy. How is it that it's rigged? Well, doesn't matter how she got there. The point is we need a wealth tax. Okay? So let me do something that Washington never does. Let's actually think. Because I'm going to tell you something and I want you to stay with me because where I'm going is not where you think I'm going to. There is a problem here. There really is. Elizabeth Warren is right that there is a problem. Okay, so she's half right. Maybe she has a wrong half. You know, she's missing the only half that matters. But let me start the story, okay? Where it actually starts. Rewind back to 2002. A guy may make some money on the Internet. He decides he's going to build rockets. Not buy a rocket company. Build rockets. Compete with Boeing. Compete with Lockheed. Okay? Compete with governments like Russia, China, the EU, the established launch industry. An industry that for 50 years had exactly one direction of travel. And that was up and to the right on cost. Every rocket more expensive than the last. NASA didn't even. When he asked him, well, what's your budget? They said, what do you mean, what's our budget? Well, what is your budget? We just want it to work. Yeah, but there's got to be some budget. They didn't even know how to put a budget together, okay? And what the industry had given the world was every rocket would be thrown away after one use. It was like. It was like tearing up a 7:47 after a single flight to London. And then it's Kleenex and you throw it away. He was asked more than once, what are your odds? I mean, you don't. This is not what you do. What? How are you going to do this? And he didn't lie to himself or anybody else. He said he figured he had maybe a 10% chance, 90% chance he would lose everything and go back to being broke. He said, I expect to fail. And he nearly did. First. I think I said two earlier, but I think it's three. The first three launches blew up, okay? The fourth launch was the last dime he had. If it failed, he was over. Guess what? It didn't fail. Then watch what that one stubborn man did to an entire industry. That the smartest, the actual rocket scientists say could never be changed. He builds the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to reach orbit. Now you're not going to space. I'm not going to space. You might think, well, I don't care. Oh, you do. This guy has changed the world. First private company to Dock a spacecraft with the International Space Station. That's something only national governments had ever done. And then when Boeing tries to do it, their rocket gets them into space and then they can't get back. Guess who rescues. Yeah, yeah. Okay, then the big one. The big one was the one that everyone said was impossible. He landed a rocket booster back on its legs. Remember the first time you ever saw that? The rocket coming back down, controlled. And then landing on a landing pad. Why is he doing that? So you're not taking a 747 and throwing it away. After a flight to London, it could fly again and again and again and again. Do you know how much money that has saved you? Do you know how much money that is saved every time somebody has to put up a communication satellite up into space that requires a rocket? Go ahead, pay for that 747. You're going to pay for it. When you're paying your phone bill or whatever it is that you know, whatever company put that satellite up into space or you're going to pay for it with your taxes. Okay, I'd like it a little cheaper. He took the single most expensive part of going to space and turned it into something you reuse like a plane. Launch costs, they didn't go down, they collapsed. He didn't trim the industry. He completely reset the industry. When American astronauts needed a ride to space, you know what we used to have to do? We used to have to buy seats from the Russians, pay Moscow hat in hand to get our own people up into space. He ended that. An American company, American rockets, American crews. He gave this back to the country almost single handedly. Now that's space. Okay? That's space. Let's come back to Earth here for a second. He also changed the world. And then he gave it away in a completely other way. Everyone, everyone said a mass market electric car was a fantasy. It was a toy for rich people. In California, the legacy automakers had a hundred years of engineering, billions in capital, armies of lobbyists, and they all agreed couldn't be done at scale, shouldn't be tried. And every time they tried, they made a crap car. Remember what Chevy came up with? It burst into flames. He did it. And in doing it, he dragged the entire global auto industry behind him, kicking and screaming. They did everything they could to put this guy out of business. They say this was impossible to do. Every electric vehicle on the road today from every manufacturer on Earth exists in the world he forced open. And then he did something that should stop Elizabeth Warren from bitching all the time. Because it's the opposite. She said that every billionaire is. In 2014, he starts Tesla and he's inventing all of this new technology, and what does he do? He's like, yeah, I'm not going to patent it. Wait a minute. What? You hold it. What? That's how you make money. He pledged the company would not sue anyone who used its technology in good faith. He gave all of his technology to his competitors. The patents are crown jewels. The everything every corporate lawyer on the planet tells you to lock in a vault and defend till death. He just opens them up and gives them away. By the way, just so you know, Coca Cola. Coca Cola still has their recipe of soda pop locked in their vault. He took a car, all brand new. Technology is like, yeah, whatever. Do whatever you want with it. Just do it in good faith. Wow. You see any. Do you see any pharmaceutical companies doing that? You see Mr. Pfizer doing that? He did it for the good of the whole industry, because he believed in something for the good of mankind, to speed the world toward a goal he believed in more than he believed in squeezing the last dollar out of a monopoly. A greedy man doesn't give away his patents. A greedy man doesn't do that. Remember that. And like it or not, and I know some do not, he is the reason that voices that powerful governments and corporations all around the world wanted to silence are still being heard. When, you know, when he put up a satellite network, do you know how he changed the world? You think he doesn't affect you? Suddenly, people in war zones and dictatorships and dead zones and people who live out in the middle of nowhere here in America have a connection to the world that no regime could pull the plug on. Every time there's a problem and thugs and dictators start to march in, what does he do? He sends his. His technology in for free. Then he also brought, you know, bought the town square that had quietly become a place where the wrong opinions disappeared, the wrong people were locked out. He reopens the doors. Now, you can argue about how he did it, but you can't argue about which direction he pushed. He pushed towards more speech, not less, towards louder, not quieter. In an age where the instinct of every government and every corporation is to manage what you're allowed to say, one man said, no, I think you should be able to say whatever you want. I mean, if that isn't the whole idea of America, I don't know what is. This is the combination of Edison and Tesla. For our generation, the inventor who builds the thing, the visionary who sees the, the current that will power the next century. Both in one man. I don't think we're ever going to see another one like this in our lifetimes. We won't. Now let me tell you about a guy that Elizabeth Warren will never tell you about. It happened this weekend. It's, it's just the headline. Just the headline. She won't even mention. Okay. Elizabeth SpaceX goes public on Friday. Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire. But he's not the only one who got rich. On Friday morning. Thousands of SpaceX employees became millionaires in a single morning. Thousands. People you'll never hear of, never meet, never will, never know their name. Let me just tell you about one of them. I don't know his name. He's a welder. Twenty years ago he had a good union job, steady, safe. Strange company with a strange weirdo founder and a 10% chance of survival. Often offered him less money. Come and weld these rocket parts for me. It's going to be less money. You're going to work hard, really long hours and I'll give you stock, paper, options, okay? A piece of a company that the smartest people in the world said was literally going to blow up. Literally blow up. His wife thought he was crazy. His father in law definitely thought he was crazy. Take the safe job. What are you doing? Betting on a man's dream. This guy is crazy. He decided he'd do it. He'd work for less, he'd work for stock. He worked nights, he missed dinners, he welded the seams on rockets that exploded on the launch pad. And then he'd show up the next morning and he'd weld the next one. And he prayed that together they were gonna build something amazing. Well, on Friday morning he woke up a millionaire. That's capitalism. That is exactly how it is supposed to work. The man who risks and the man who risks everything gets a big payday. He pulls others up with him who also risk, who bet on him when the betting was insane. And when it pays off, it pays them too. The reward was enormous because the risk was enormous. These people in Washington have never risked anything in their entire life. This guy was willing to risk everything over and over and over and over again. You don't fix that, you don't tax that into oblivion. You celebrate that. You get on your knees and you thank God you live in a country where a welder can become a millionaire because he believed in something before it was safe to believe in it. And here's where it goes wrong. So what is the problem? I told you she had it half right. Because there is a problem. But it's not the trillion dollars. It's never been the trillion dollars. It's where capitalism goes wrong. And listen carefully, because this is the whole thing. It goes wrong the moment the rich and the powerful stop competing in the market and stop and start competing in Washington. It goes wrong. The the moment a corporation realizes it's easier to buy a senator like Elizabeth Warren than it is to beat a rival. It goes wrong when the people who run an industry start writing the laws that govern their own industry, because the senators, like Elizabeth Warren, are too stupid to write a law on their own. So they go to the experts and say, hey, regulate your own industry. That's the corruption. It's not the wealth. It's the fusion. It's the handshake between the boardroom and the Capitol. When the money buys the rules, the rules stop protecting you and start protecting them. And if you think this is new. Have you ever read about the railroad? In 1800s, railroads were the SpaceX of their day. Great machines reshaped the entire continent. They competed brutally. Vicious price wars. The biggest railroads kept losing control of everything. They tried to fix private prices privately and failed. So one of the railroad guys gets a better idea. Wait a minute. If we can't win the market, why don't we buy the referee? So in 1887, Washington creates the Internet, the Interstate Commerce Commission. And they're gonna regulate all the railroads on behalf of the public. Sounds great. People demanded oversight and they got it. Except a few Years later, the U.S. attorney General, a man named Richard Olney, who had come right out of the railroad industry, wrote a private letter to a railroad executive who wanted the new commission abolished. And he said, don't be foolish. What are you doing? Keep the commission. Because the commission satisfies the public demand for somebody to watch the railroads. While it leaves, in practice, it leaves the railroads largely alone. And over time, the commission will become a shield for the industry. It will protect your you from the competition and from the public's anger. Excuse me. What did he just say? Yeah, that's the problem with capitalism. The problem is not the dreamer, is not the trillion dollars. The problem is the referees. The referees, they're on the take. And they partner with the minute that Elon Musk says, you know what? I want to put my people, my competitors, out of business. As long as he's still willing to honestly compete. Capitalism works fine and we should be grateful for it. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. You know, I can't, I can't wait to see Go home is John Cornyn. I just said that guy can't get, that guy can't be gone fast enough. He and Mitch McConnell, they just go away. Go away. And that's not a comment on Mitch McConnell's health. You know, sorry to hear about his health. He's been sick for a very long time. But, you know, I can't wait for their terms and them to be replaced. John Cornyn came out with a tweet this weekend to Mike Lee. Mike, I'm a co sponsor of your Save America act and repeatedly voted for this, but you just don't have the votes. Bethune can't change that. You know, it's math. Try focusing on Democrats instead of the Republicans. Republican on a Republican attacks are hurting our chances to win the majority in November. Yeah, like you have a clue on how to win. John Cornyn. This guy is gonna, this guy has it out and he is gonna do everything he can to stop the Save America. I mark my words. He is, he and Mitch McConnell are going to do, they're going to do everything they can as their last hurrah to make sure that thing doesn't pass. And Donald Trump came out over the weekend in a true social post. Thank God he said the renewal of Section 02 of the Save America Act. He said, I'm against FISA if it doesn't come with the Save America act, the full version firmly attached to it. So he's telling them, and I'm so glad he is calling their bluff because it is a bluff. It is a bluff. Bill Pulte, he is the interim acting Director of National Intelligence now, not forever. And he's not some radical overhaul overnight. You know what I mean? He's just a guy who has been with Trump for a while, trusted set of eyes for a few months while we get the new guy in to replace Tulsi Gabbard. And what happens? The establishment voices, the Democrats, some of them Republicans, intel lifers, they threaten to let FISA section 702 die. You tell me these are the guys who pull for every war. They pull for every, every spy thing that they can possibly get their hands on. They, they pull for the, they are the ones that have said hands off section 702. They're the ones, it's vital for national security. They won't even let you talk about it. They don't want it even open up. Nothing. Just pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it. Pass it. And now they're saying if this guy gets in as the acting director of DNA dni, he's so dangerous at this time that we will tell Donald Trump he can't have. Really? You're not gonna let Donald Trump have section 02702? Really? You guys, you guys will know. No, no, we can't. Bill. Is just too dangerous for the American people. Really? So you say Section oh two FISA is, is so important, and we're dealing with threats from China and Iran and the cartels across the border. Really? You'd stab your own mother to death for a clean renewal? In normal times. But an outsider comes out, suddenly it's a crisis. Ditch that. We'll, we'll, we, we'll, we won't pass that. We won't give that to you, Trump. Yes, you will. Yes, you will. You will. Okay, now, I want to be fair. Qualifications matter. Experience and intelligence is serious business. But he's interim. He's interim. Well, he's too weak. Is he? Is he? Because I think your reaction shows to me that you're in a panic. I don't know what you're panicked about, but you're panicking. You're willing to give something up that literally, I think you really would stab your mother to death for section 702. I don't know why, but now all of a sudden, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Exposure. You're afraid that this guy is going to come in and expose something? You remember the Church committee in the 1970s after Watergate? It revealed that the FBI and CIA were spying on civil rights leaders, Martin Luther King, anti war voices, even sitting presidents and their opponents. Congress created FISA to check our intelligence community, okay? To restore trust. But what happened? The tool meant for protection becomes the weapon. Okay? We've seen it. The backdoor searches, the political queries, the house of cards of selective leaks and protected narratives. Okay? So Tulsi Gabbard releases, you know, information on this. Then she leaves, and then this guy comes in and they're like, yeah, we're not going to do it, Trump. Stand your ground. Be a badass. Be the badass we all know you are. Stand your ground. They're bluffing. They're bluff. What are they so afraid of? What are they so afraid of? So Tulsi comes out. Same people, by the way. Tulsi comes out, what was it, Friday? And she releases, she declassifies slides of these, of These documents about US funded bio labs in Ukraine and beyond. Over 40 labs hundreds of millions dangerous pathogens. Anthrax, plague, Ebola. Okay, and we've known about these places. They've. They've been known about broad strokes for years as, quote, threat reduction, okay, but transparency? No, no, no. They're just. They're just reducing our threat. Huh? Huh? Okay, so she exposes these, and they're in Ukraine, huh? And now it's a Russian conspiracy theory that those exist. Well, can I just ask you just. Just let me just ask you before I get into any of the other parts of this, do you think it's a good idea? Does it make common sense to you? If we have Anthrax and Ebola sitting in a laboratory in Ukraine that is currently at war with Russia, do you think it's a good idea? Or should we just go take a flamethrower and burn all of those dangerous pathogens out of those buildings? Should we just destroy all of those pathogens? Why do we have them sitting there in these biolabs that are in a war zone now? Look at the loudest people shout, shouting about this. Okay? The ones who are saying, you know, she's just. She's a conspiracy theorist with the documents, their embedded Ukraine correspondence, strong advocates to send more money to Ukraine in Congress and defense analysts that are tied to the status quo. The same crowd clutching their pearls, same people clutching their pearls over the new DNI chief. They don't like what she did with Ukraine. And then this new guy, he's got to be stopped, too. I'll get rid of Pfizer. I'll tell you, I'll do it. I'll do it. Go jump off that cliff. Hey, you've got. You've got all of these. All of these people that are coming. I just read the story@glennbeck.com and you'll find all of the names of these people, but they're all the same. And you know what? They're. They're framing this whole thing as Kremlin propaganda. Like Tulsi Gabbard is now working for the Kremlin. Have you ever noticed when outsiders get close to auditing foreign entanglements, surveillance powers, risky overseas labs, the defenses go nuclear. All of a sudden, all of a sudden, it's got to be stopped. It's worst problem ever. These go crazy to me. It feels like fear of exposure. And maybe not all of them, but somewhere, somebody, somebody in that web is applying enormous pressure. Stop this. Stop this. Stop this. You know, because real sunlight on how Pfizer has been used and Bio. Biolab funding, past ops threatens the whole machine, the one that kept us entangled. Spending billions while Americans are struggling at home. Yeah, I'd like to know how that happened. Wouldn't you? Yeah. Kind of reminds me of, you know, what I learned the hard way in my own life. If you want to fix yourself, just talking about you, not the country or anything else, just you. Radical honesty is required when you live in lies. Which as an alcoholic, I was absolutely living in absolute lies. Lying to myself and everybody else. I'm not an alcoholic. I don't have a problem. What are you talking about? I'm fine. Huh? When you protect the addiction or the COVID up, you'll burn everything down before admitting the truth. You will. I tell you what, I'm not gonna. I won't pass zero to that section of God. I'll tell you that right now. Really? Huh. Those who change, those who heal, are the ones who surrender to the light. And that's what America needs right now. No more secrets, no more trust us. Trump, call their bluff, don't blink. Be the badass. They're not going to let FISA actually lapse. And I'd applaud if they did. They need it too much. Use this moment. Leverage it for real reform. Tie it to the Save America act priorities like you just said you would. Border security, spending restraint, ending endless foreign adventures without any kind of accountability. Audit these programs properly. Pressure for what we need. Transparency, declassification, where it serves the people. Reforms that protect Americans first. It's not zero sum. This could be a very. This could be a win win. Kind of the hard kind. They'll get their surveillance tool with real oversight and warrants. And we get sunlight on the bio labs, the foreign funding webs, the surveillance abuses. The American people win when the powerful are afraid of us knowing the truth, not the other way around. And history, I mean, it shows the cycle over and over again. Church committee, post Snowden, Russiagate. Every time, every time the people demand answers, the machine fights back. This is the machine. Courage breaks it. Being willing to lose breaks it. Look at the persecuted Christians. Many times, they're the happiest people. The gates of hell have opened up against them. You know why? They're happy. They're standing in the truth. They know what the truth is. Or the founders that risked everything against tyranny, lives, fortune, sacred honor. Some of them lost everything. They weren't complaining about it because truth gave them the courage to do it. And the hope. Kind of like, you know, you were born for a time such as this. That's you. You can admit it or not, but that's the truth you were born for this time. These problems. We don't need more idols of power or endless wars. We need truth. We need self reliance. We need faith. Faith in God, faith in ourselves. Faith that, you know, we'll get our crap together one of these days we'll get our crap together and we'll stand up and go, you know what? I'm kind of tired of this stuff, you know, we'll create a neighborhood that, that prepare. Treat each other right. A country that rejects living by lies. One of these days we're going to get it. It's going to happen, and it's going to happen. We're either going to do it the easy way or it's going to happen the hard way. Believe me, believe me, God wins every time. When you're living in a lie, it always, it always comes down. It always comes down. The longer you wait to go, okay, okay, maybe I'm in an alcoholic, you know, the longer it takes you to say that, the harder it's going to be to get back up on your feet. But you'll get back on your feet. I just rather do it before. I mean, I've done it before. It sucks. It sucks. But the longer we wait. Keep investigating, Mr. President. Appoint the disruptors. They're afraid of him. Threaten that you're going to make him permanent. And you call your representative. Demand they choose America over the machine. Tell, you know, send, send a strong message to Cornyn. You don't have to go after the Republicans. They got 50 votes. You need to talk to Thune. Hey, Thune, what are you waiting for? Pass it with 50 votes and then feed hope. Because it's coming. It's coming. Good stuff is coming. Reject the fear. This isn't the end. This is a reckoning. It's going to be ugly. It's going to be an ugly reckoning. But you know what? On the other side of reckoning? Restoration. A healed republic, happier families, free people. I don't know. That sounds pretty good. I say they're bluffing, Caller bluff.
