Plane Crash in Washington D.C. and Air Traffic Control Concerns

Timestamp: [02:21] – [05:08]

The episode opens with Glenn Beck expressing condolences for the victims of a recent plane crash in Washington D.C., emphasizing the need for prayers for the families and rescue workers involved. He highlights the dangers of Reagan National Airport, citing it as one of the most perilous in the country.

Glenn Beck (02:21): "Pray for everybody involved. Now, it's too early to assign any blame, but we do know that there is a problem, a real problem with our air traffic control system."

Rep. Chip Roy discusses the vulnerabilities within the air traffic control infrastructure, referencing a Blaze original documentary titled Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster. He points out the overworked and understaffed nature of air traffic controllers and raises concerns about potential factors like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives impacting operational efficiency.

Chip Roy (03:44): "The pace has picked up like crazy. The fact that we had gone all of these years without one of these types of incidents was a miracle."

The discussion underscores the urgency of addressing systemic issues in air traffic management to prevent future tragedies.

Exclusive Interview with Jeff Parker: Uncovering Government Corruption

Timestamp: [17:35] – [28:15]

Jeffrey Parker, CEO and Chairman of ParkerVision, shares an exclusive story uncovering alleged corruption involving Qualcomm and the Obama administration. Parker details the development of a groundbreaking connectivity technology that revolutionized wireless communications. He claims Qualcomm unlawfully appropriated his technology, leading to a protracted legal battle.

Jeffrey Parker (17:48): "We invented the connectivity technology that connects your smartphone to the cell phone tower, connects the WI FI in your home to other devices... It's half the size of your little fingernail."

Parker recounts the initial partnership negotiations with Qualcomm around 1999-2000, highlighting Qualcomm's inability to license his technology transparently. He accuses the company of sabotaging the deal, leading to a lawsuit filed in 2011. The legal proceedings revealed internal Qualcomm communications that Parker asserts proved deliberate attempts to undermine his claims.

Jeffrey Parker (25:23): "Your entire story is in their emails. We have never seen anything like this."

The lawsuit culminated in a unanimous verdict against Qualcomm, but Parker alleges interference from the Obama administration and then-Attorney General Eric Holder, which obstructed justice and favored Qualcomm despite the court's decision.

Jeffrey Parker (27:42): "These are the emails that the jury saw in our first case...the jury hears this. They come back united on a verdict. Unanimous, Unanimous. Qualcomm has done wrong, has got to pay you."

This segment sheds light on potential deep-state corruption and the suppression of technological innovation by powerful corporate and political entities.

Discussion with Rep. Chip Roy: Nominations and Legislative Efforts

Timestamp: [28:15] – [43:10]

Representative Chip Roy joins Glenn Beck to discuss the current political landscape, focusing on the Biden administration's policies and the Republican response. The conversation touches on the administration's efforts to reverse previous policies, particularly concerning border security, executive orders, and the nomination of key figures like Tulsi Gabbard for the Director of National Intelligence.

Rep. Chip Roy (28:35): "What we're seeing out of this administration over the last now almost two weeks...has been extraordinary in terms of reversing the damage from the Biden administration."

Roy highlights the administration's removal of officials, reduction in executive orders, and support for nominees who align with Republican values. He emphasizes the importance of fostering transformative change in spending, healthcare, and national security to counteract what he describes as the "deep state" and the "defense industrial complex."

Glenn Beck (33:58): "You want somebody that has the courage to make sure that what happened to them never happens to you. Tulsi Gabbard is that person."

Stu Burguiere further elaborates on the legislative efforts to secure American sovereignty, such as introducing the Securing America's Land from Foreign Interference Act (HR809). This bill aims to restrict land ownership by foreign nationals, particularly those affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, to safeguard national security and economic interests.

Stu Burguiere (35:04): "Why are we letting the ChiComs own any American land? It's American soil."

The discussion underscores the Republican commitment to reducing governmental overreach, enhancing national security, and promoting economic self-sufficiency through legislative measures.

Legislative Initiatives: Protecting American Land

Timestamp: [35:14] – [43:10]

Stu Burguiere introduces his bill aimed at preventing foreign, especially Chinese Communist Party-affiliated individuals, from owning American land. He argues that such ownership poses significant national security risks, including threats to food supply chains and critical infrastructure.

Stu Burguiere (35:44): "Because they may not be our allies one day. So I think we need to really look at that."

Burguiere emphasizes the necessity of localizing industrial capacities, citing the disruptions experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic as evidence of the vulnerabilities inherent in globalized supply chains. He advocates for increased American-based manufacturing and production to mitigate future crises.

Stu Burguiere (37:06): "We need to restructure. We're in the middle of a restructuring, both politically, but the American people are awake post Covid."

The conversation also touches on the importance of fiscal responsibility, advocating for deficit reduction and balanced spending to prevent economic instability and ensure sustainable growth.

Rep. Chip Roy (38:46): "We've got to back him up. And that's what I'm trying to do in Congress."
