Discussion with Senator Rand Paul ([25:27] - [38:25])

Key Topics:

• Government Spending and Rescission: Sen. Rand Paul emphasizes the need to reduce government waste and advocates for the use of rescission as a tool to cut unnecessary expenditures. He highlights the challenges in garnering the necessary 60 votes to overturn Democratic initiatives but remains hopeful with a slim Republican majority.

Sen. Paul expresses frustration with Attorney General Merrick Garland and accuses him of partisanship.

• COVID-19 and Anthony Fauci: Sen. Paul discusses his efforts to refer Anthony Fauci for criminal proceedings, criticizing Fauci's role in funding research in Wuhan and labeling him as the architect of the pandemic.

• Presidential Appointments: The conversation touches upon the slow pace of presidential appointments and Sen. Paul shares his optimism about filling key positions swiftly to align with Trump's agenda.

• Foreign Policy – Syria: Both agree with Trump's stance on Syria, cautioning against unnecessary military involvement and advocating for a cautious approach to avoid entanglement in prolonged conflicts.

Notable Quotes:

• Sen. Rand Paul ([26:58]): "Anthony Fauci... is the architect of gain of function research. If the President pardons him, it'll seal his fate in history."

• Sen. Rand Paul ([32:18]): "We have to ensure that Donald Trump gets his team together and that his appointments are not undermined by weak Republicans."

• Sen. Rand Paul ([38:25]): "Montesquieu said that when the executive legislates, that's when liberty fails and tyranny arrives. We need to balance that power again."

He stresses the importance of cooperation between U.S. and Mexican governments to manage migration effectively.

• Impact of Drug Cartels: Clark addresses the influence of drug cartels on border security, emphasizing the need for strong leadership and strategic actions to dismantle these organizations. He expresses confidence in Trump's ability to leverage his position to combat cartel activities.

• Sanctuary Cities: The conversation shifts to the issue of sanctuary cities, with Clark advocating for stricter enforcement of federal immigration laws and penalizing jurisdictions that refuse cooperation with ICE. He outlines potential legislative measures to hold local governments accountable.

• Presidential Commitments: Randy reinforces his support for Trump's policies and expresses optimism about the incoming administration's approach to border security and immigration reform.

Notable Quotes:

• Randy Clark ([70:05]): "We're seeing a reduction in border crossings, down to about 1,200 a day nationwide. This needs to continue and even improve."

• Randy Clark ([73:17]): "President Trump and his crew understand how to handle these issues creatively and effectively once they're in office."

• Randy Clark ([77:37]): "If you're a sheriff and you don't allow ICE agents in your county jails, you're harboring and aiding and abetting illegal immigrants who are criminals."

[Glenn Beck]

It's a new day. I'm turning. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad that you're here. Welcome. I'm a little upset at justice in this country. Perhaps you are too, just a little bit with Daniel Penney and what's going on with Daniel Penney in New York City again. They are just changing the law in New York. Honestly, if you live in New York, you should reconsider because there is no such thing as justice. There's no such thing as a law that's written down and they follow it. I'll explain in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor. You ever look at Joe Biden when he's on TV and think, man, I bet that guy sleeps like a baby. Corrupt, morally, bankrupt, dishonest, stupid baby. But man, I wish I could sleep that well in front of world leaders. Don't you? You're not alone. I wish we can all sleep like Joe Biden. For whatever reason, it's not happening for a lot of us. You don't get a good night's rest and then you act like Joe Biden all day. There is something out there that can really help you sleep. It's called Z factor. I take it many nights. My wife takes it many nights. It's 100% drug free way to help you fall asleep faster. Sleep better. Stay Asleep longer. It's not anything you can possibly get addicted to. You don't feel it in your body at all. It just relaxes you a little bit and helps you sleep deeper and faster. Fall asleep faster. And you sleep through the night. You wake up in the morning and you feel refreshed again. You don't feel it at all. It's Z factor 100% natural relief factor, 46% off. On your first order. If you go to relief factor.com, that's relief factor.com, or call 800, the number four relief. That's 800, the number four relief. Okay, so here's what happened on Friday. If you've been following the Daniel Penney trial. Now, Daniel Penney is the guy who was on the subway, did absolutely the right thing by standing up when this. This guy who was. He's psychotic. He was high on crack or something. I mean, I don't know what the other options are besides crack, but he was high on something and he was threatening everybody on the subway and said, I'm going to kill you all. I'm going to kill you all. Well, there was this Marine sitting there, and nobody got up and did anything because everybody's afraid. So do you remember what was the guy's name? I said it just last week or so. The guy that was on the plane that was going to the Pentagon and they crashed. Not Pentagon, the Capitol. And they crashed in Pennsylvania. Beeman. Todd. Todd. Todd Beamer. Beamer. Todd Beamer. Todd Beamer stood up and said, let's go. And he got everybody to do it. Right. We all thought that was a hero. Well, now in New York, that's not a hero. This guy is a Marine, knew how he could choke the guy out without killing him, but he was high on crack or whatever, and he choked him out and he died. Well, everybody was happy that he did it. Not that he died, but everybody was happy that he took control of the situation and stopped this guy because everyone on the train was afraid for their life. So they interview him. He's saying to the police, I didn't mean to hurt him. He doesn't know he's dead. At the time, you know, I just wanted to choke him out. I really hope that, you know, everything's okay, but, you know, somebody had to stand up and do something. The guy is clearly a hero. Well, not in New York, because common sense doesn't exist in New York. And so they decide to try him. Well, now they're in the trial, and here's. Here's how it works. First, they charged. They charged him with two things. And if you have a hung jury on either one of those, it's a mistrial. Okay? So they charged me with just being too good looking and a second count of just being too smart. If the jury is like, I don't know, 11 of us say, nope, and one is like, no, he's really good looking. I thank my wife for being part of the jury pool. But it's a hung jury, okay? And you can't go to the second count if you're hung on the first. That's the law. Well, Maxwell Wiley, who is the quote, justice handed the prosecution a gift. It was a Christmas gift. Hey, it's coming a little early. Why don't you open this up? He allowed or granted the request to drop the count of manslaughter in the second degree, which the jury was deadlocked on. On telling the jury, now just only consider the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. Well, you. You can't do that. You can't do that. You have to come to a conclusion 12, 0 on the first one before you can move to the second one if you're hung on the first one. This, this is, this is a game that is being played because. Because apparently Bragg just wants another conviction of somebody. And you cannot change the rules in the middle of the game. But doesn't matter in New York City. Why are you living in New York? Sincerely. Sincerely. Haven't they given you enough indications that they don't care about the law? Alvin Bragg, he should be fired. There should be people right now marching in the streets in New York saying this guy's gotta go. It's not. This isn't. This isn't about Donald Trump. He's already bent the law so far out of shape that you can't even recognize it under Donald Trump. And now for a regular person, he does it again and a judge helps him do it. This isn't American justice. So Bragg asked for this. Can't even believe he should be disbarred for even asking for this. And so should the judge for granting it. So what's going to happen? Well, today the jury is going back under new rules just made up, and they're going to consider the lesser charge without the bigger charge so he could be charged with the lesser one. See, this is why they always say on the first count, we find the defendant not guilty or we find him guilty. If they say we are hung on the first count, you never get to the second, third, fourth, fifth, Count. You have to have a verdict on each count. So what are they going to say on the first count, we're hung? Well, the law requires then that this case is a mistrial and Bragg can go for the lesser charge and try him again. But you can't just. This is insane. This is insane. This is not American justice. This is a kangaroo court. We in New York, again, I just say to you, why are you living there if they don't care? Look what they've done to business. They've charged Donald Trump with something that has never, ever been charged before. Never been charged before. It was not a victimless crime. It wasn't a crime. It wasn't a crime. He stated that the value of one of his houses, Mar a lago, was worth more than the state said, the bank does. You never walked into a bank and said, you know what? I've got a house worth $14 billion. And they go, oh, okay, we'll take your word for it. They don't ever do that. They go and they send somebody to inspect and look at the house and evaluate and give value for the bank to the house. And they're like, yeah, it's now we're 14. We're going to give you $1400 of value for that. Okay. Then he took out a loan based on those numbers. He paid it back with interest exactly as contracted. And where's the crime? Because everybody, everyone puts a different value perhaps than the bank does. The bank doesn't take your word for it. If the bank took everybody's word for it, the bank would be out of business. My gosh. So they did that. What does that mean for businesses? It means if they don't like you, look out, look out. They also charged him with other business crimes. Never been tried before. They don't care. But everybody looked the way the other way because that was Donald Trump. This isn't. This is not Donald Trump. Now, this is a guy who all of America should be calling a hero. If you watched him say after they arrested him, and they're, they're trying him or they're, they're questioning him with the police, they come in and they're talking to him. The guy is clearly not. Yeah, well, I took him down. He was clearly just trying to protect people and do the right thing. Again, there are two Americas and, and I don't understand this one because this one isn't about this. This one's not about Donald Trump. Now, there have been people who've tried to make this about race because he's white. And the victim was black. So maybe New Yorkers are still buying into that crap. That show is over, guys. That show is over when there is a real crime about black and white. White on black or black on white, doesn't matter. But you're at the very end of all of this nonsense of DEI and all of that crap. You're at the end of it. That was a bad movie. And we're at the end of it and people are starting to walk out of the theater going, I don't think I bought that. That was. Well, that was ridiculous. People liked it for a long time. It's not over yet, but it's close now. Let me give you another story. This is the same kind of story, except it happens in Germany, but it's to an American, 64 year old. What? Where? Etri Etria.

[Stu Burguiere]

Eritrea.

[Glenn Beck]

Eritrea. So he's an Eritrean?

[Stu Burguiere]

Eritrean, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Eritrean. And I'm sorry, I only vacationed there a couple of times.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, well, you had that timeshare for a bunch of years, and then there was an issue with it, so. Yeah, understandable.

[Glenn Beck]

Anyway, Ellie went just, you know, for the free weekend. Yeah. To sit there and listen to the Atrian or Eritrean people talk. Anyway, so this guy, he comes and he grabs this 20 year old by the butt and kind of grabs her and she fights back. And then it gets a little nasty and she pulls out a knife and comes after him and he grabs her arm with a knife. And she gets, you know, the better of her, of him, because he's 64, she's 20, and she grabs a knife and she sticks it in him. She sticks it in his heart, he dies. Okay, Now I just. I want to give you a little bit of background here on what's happening in. In Germany, more than a thousand women were sexually assaulted by migrants at a New Year's Eve celebration. In Germany, 1,000 at a new Year's Eve celebration. Okay. In September of 2023, 26 German police were injured as masses of Eritrean migrants fought each other in the streets. Okay, 26 police. So this is not necessarily, you know, the hey, let's just become German kind of people. Got it? This is the same problem happening all over. So what happens to this American? So she goes to. She goes to trial and she's found guilty. She, by the way, turned herself in. As soon as it happened, she called police. She called, you know, 911 or whatever it is, and then turned herself in. She was charged with causing bodily harm resulting in death. She was arrested. She was found guilty and they gave her 10 years in prison. 10 years in prison. Now let me show you how fair that is. In Germany, there was a group of nine migrants that gang raped a German girl in 2020. Nine were convicted. Only one went to prison. Even though all nine expressed no regret whatsoever, only one of the nine went to prison and it wasn't for 10 years. Then because of that, the German police investigated more than a hundred Germans criticizing the people in that case. Criticizing and say, how can you possibly let these, these nine go? Look what they just did. They investigated and prosecuted. Well, they investigated at least a hundred people for just speaking out. In June, another 20 year old woman in Germany was sentenced to jail for defamation for calling one of those nine men a disgusting rapist pig. So the one she called a quote, discussing rapist pig didn't go to jail. She did. Our State Department said, well, we can't talk about this. We can't talk about this at this time. I'd be talking about this. Hopefully Donald Trump will be talking about this. Hey, Germany, return this woman. Return this woman. She, this is, I'm telling you, this is the kind of stuff that, that ends poorly. Was she wrong? I don't think so. But apparently they were, when they were arguing and fighting, he turned and started to walk away and she pursued. Now, I don't know how far that pursue was. I don't know. I don't know all the details, but that would give you a little indication that maybe she. But 10 years, 10 years when the people doing the raping get nothing? I don't think so.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're supposed to stand there and take the sexual assault. Was that, that's the plan?

[Glenn Beck]

That's the plan. That's the plan. If, I mean, unless you're a migrant, I guess if a German sexually assaulted a migrant, you'd go to jail forever. I don't know. Back with more in just a second.

[Stu Burguiere]

[Jim Desmond]

Game.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I thought I'd ask you just the same.

[Glenn Beck]

Just hearing this, I think I could vomit. I could just vomit. We're a week away from my daughter performing at the Grand Ole Opry, and it's like, I want to be. I'll be more nervous than she is.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, there's no doubt. I saw you at her first performance. Oh, there was absolutely no doubt. Who was more nervous?

[Glenn Beck]

I couldn't even look at the stage. I was like, oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. So nervous. I'm so nervous. I'm so nervous.

[Stu Burguiere]

She did great, though.

[Glenn Beck]

She's great. She's great. That's Cheyenne Grace, and the name of the album is Home for Christmas. All right, so let's get back to what we were just talking about. Justice. Now, Donald Trump was on Meet the Press. Surprise.

[Stu Burguiere]

Are you surprised at all? He did this.

[Glenn Beck]

No, no. He's the president.

[Stu Burguiere]

I know. Why do they get. And why is that assumed, I guess, is my question. Why is it assumed that Meet the Press just gets this after the way NBC News has handled the past four.

[Glenn Beck]

Years, the president should go on a little of everything.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I agree with that. But, like, the way you reacted is, I think, the way America reacts. Yeah, of course. He's president. He's going to Meet the Press. Why at some point should we not challenge this at its core? Yeah, because, I mean, you watched this interview, and I don't think she deserved this interview. I don't think she did a good job with it.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't. Let me make your point because I almost just said this without thinking I was making your point. It's Meet the Press, Right? So you're right. You're right. I don't know why. I don't know why, but he came on and he said, look, illegals are going bye bye. He said there is the failure to enforce laws regarding immigration that have been unfair to legal immigrants. You have to, it's a tough thing to do, but you have to. We have rules, regulations and laws. They came in illegally. You know, the people have been treated very unfairly are the people who have been in line for 10 years to come into our country. And we're going to make it very easily, easy for people to come in and they have to pass a test. They have to be able to tell you what the Statue of Liberty is. They have to tell you a little bit about our country. They have to love our country. But they can't come out of prisons. We don't want people like that here. Amen. Glenn Beck because of everything else, this Christmas is probably made in China. But that doesn't mean that what you put on your family's plate has to be made in China. There is another better way and it is Good Ranchers. A lot of our meat. You know, I've been watching the last few episodes of Yellowstone. I'm not going to spoil anything. But they keep making these off sidebar kind of comments about the death of the cowboy and how that is all over. And it's true. And they keep saying, you know, the cowboys will only be in Brazil again. It's true. If we don't save our ranches. Please. Good Ranchers is a way to do that.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have Senator Rand Paul on with us. Got to talk to him about a couple of things. A, staying out of war in Syria to Anthony Fauci. Is he going to be pardoned? But let's start with Doge. The Senate Republicans hopefully are ready to just slash government spending and hopefully we do it in the fashion that Calvin Coolidge did it back in the 1920s. Senator Rand Paul, welcome to the program.

[Rand Paul]

Hey, Glenn, thanks for having me.

[Glenn Beck]

You bet. So how serious do you think this Doge thing is?

[Rand Paul]

You know, I think it's very helpful because, you know, the problem is not just Democrats in Washington, it's big government Republicans.

[Glenn Beck]

Correct.

[Rand Paul]

And I think Elon and Vivek bringing attention to this. We've already offered up, I've been for 10 years collecting and arguing that we should get rid of waste. We sent them 2000 pages worth of waste that could be addressed immediately. Some can be done through executive action. I think you can let people go, you can fire people, you can fire people for cause. You can also change the contracting. You know, one of the things Elon did at SpaceX was he started bidding on things and they started doing it through competitive bidding as opposed to cost. Plus. The big companies, Boeing and Lockheed, would get their contracts and say, oh, we bid $1 billion. Oh, sorry, we came in at 2 billion. Well, you get 10% of whatever you come in at. So, in fact, here's an incentive to come in over budget. So there's a lot of things they can do and I hope they will do. On spending reductions, there's a special procedure where if we send $1 billion to the administration to build a ship and they build it for 800 million, they can send the 200 million back to us through a special procedure called rescission. And it gets an immediate vot privileged vote. And it's a simple majority. Most of the problems we have is getting to 60 votes to undo bad things the Democrats have done. But with this case, rescission, reducing spending that is sent back to us by the President, it's a simple majority. However, we tried to do this in the first Trump administration with a really small bill, $15 billion cut, and it failed because Republicans voted with the Democrats to keep the spending. So we have to do this. We're going to have 53 in the Senate and only one or two majority in the House. We've got to see if we can actually get the majority of Republicans to vote for spending cuts. If they all do, we can cut significant spending.

[Glenn Beck]

Would you agree with me that Donald Trump's different than he was in 2020? That if we would have had him in 2020, it would have been a different situation entirely?

[Rand Paul]

I think he's much more focused now. His picks for his Cabinet, I think, are light years ahead of what was going on in 2016, for sure.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Rand Paul]

And he really wants to disrupt. He is not going to allow the status quo. He saw the status Quo use the apparatus of government to come after him individually. And he realizes that in 2016, but again through 2020, that our intelligence agencies were being used against him. Both retired and I believe active went after the whole Hunter Biden thing to say it was Russian propaganda. And it turned out the propaganda was actually US Propaganda, calling it Russian propaganda. And FBI needs to clean out be cleaned house. Cash Patel, I think can do it. DNI Tulsi Gabbard, I think can do it over there. And he hasn't picked, you know, moderate, weak, need Republicans. He's picked strong people on the COVID front, picking Marty Makary, a doctor from Johns Hopkins, and Jay Bhattacharya, a doctor from Stanford, who have been leading leaders and pointing out this nonsense. These are people I would affect. So I'm over the moon. I'm over the moon with some of these picks.

[Glenn Beck]

So what do you think is going to happen? I mean, you know, the White House is saying that Fauci may be pardoned in advance of anything, which doesn't seem like you could do that, but they'll try it anyway. I mean, at least it has to be. Everything just has to be dumped and exposed.

[Rand Paul]

I've set referrals, criminal referrals on Anthony Fauci twice to the Department of Justice without really response. Merrick Garland hasn't done his job. He's probably been the most partisan attorney General we've ever had. I will send those referrals again. If they preemptively pardon Anthony Fauci, it will seal his fate as the architect, author and godfather of the pandemic. He's the one that funded it. He's the one that funded the research in Wuhan and he's the one that allowed the research not to be screwed up. We don't quite get this. There was a safety committee that was supposed to scrutinize dangerous research. It was set up because of fear of exactly this happening. There have been scientists talking about this for 20 years, worried that this is going to happen. Anthony Fauci sidestepped the safety committee and allowed this research to go on. Then when it came forward that he had done it, he's like, oh, nothing to see here. We didn't really do it. Oh, well, we funded EcoHealth and they funded Wuhan, but oh, no, this. And then he had the gall to say it wasn't gain of function and it wasn't dangerous. That's all I. All that's come out. And really we have him. In his own words, we have him in private saying, oh, we know it's really dangerous there, and we know they do gain a function research. So we've got him dead to rights. If the President pardons him, I think it'll just cement his role in history as being the architect of gain of function surgery.

[Glenn Beck]

So, but. But will we release. This is the one thing I'm hoping Cash Patel does. I hope he releases just the raw evidence that has been gathered. You know, kind of like the Twitter files, where we can see all the stuff that has been classified that should be seen by the American people.

[Rand Paul]

With regard to Covid, we voted unanimously to declassify all of it. So this was over a year and a half ago. The FBI did do their job. They did a report and they said that they thought Covid came from the lab, that the virus or the pandemic started with lab leak. But they haven't released their report. They've been told to declassify it. I truly believe Cash Patel will look at that. And the way you declassified is this. If there's a name in there, you don't want somebody to know a name or a source. You take that out of the report. In fact, even when I read and see classified things, I almost never have seen a name or a source, which I think is good. You protect your sources. But I should get to see all the information. And really, in this case, the American public should see all of the information. Anything to do with Russiagate, anything to do with the abuse of the FBI to go after Donald Trump, all that has to be publicly released as well.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, on Friday here in Fort Worth, Texas, there was a judge that ordered Pfizer to release and produce all of its emergency use authorization file to a group of scientists that want to look through it. And they've been saying, well, we can't do it, we can't do it. And the judge finally just said, do it now.

[Rand Paul]

Yeah, we've never had someone like Donald Trump or like these appointees, and that's why first line of battle is getting them through. There are many establishments, Republicans, you know who they are.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Rand Paul]

Who are weak, need or frankly just no better than Democrats that are looking to destroy Donald Trump's picks. And so I'm going to be working very hard for Robert Kennedy, for Tulsi Gabbard, for Cash Patel. These are, you know, those three right at the tip of my mind are, have a lot of establishment Republicans questioning. And we got to make sure we enter through, and we got to make sure everybody, you know, listening to the radio Everybody out there is calling their particularly Republican senators and saying, Donald Trump needs his team.

[Glenn Beck]

How long do you think, I mean, do you think he's going to get these, what do you call them, out of, out of session appointments? Where. Because it took him like two years to get all of his appointment. He didn't even get all of them in two years. He needs them right now. But I hate the precedent that that would set.

[Rand Paul]

The vast majority will be very quickly, I can tell you. I am hopeful that I will be chairman of the Department of Homeland Security. So Christine Noem's nomination will come to my committee. My plan is, if elected in the next couple of weeks in January to be the chairman, I will have a hearing for her before the inauguration, as soon as he officially appoints her after the inauguration, I may be able to have a vote that day. Sometimes we will vote that day. So while some of it was slow in 2016, the Secretary of State, Homeland Security, several of these important positions were filled pretty quickly and we plan on doing that again. I would be surprised in the first week if we don't have four or five cabinet level people appointed and voted on in the first week.

[Glenn Beck]

Let me switch topics to Syria. The President made it very clear that this is not our issue. You know, I went back this weekend and looked at a story from 2016 where the CIA was supporting one side and the Pentagon was supporting the other side in Syria, and they were fighting each other. And now the president, the current president, whoever that is, you know, bombed Syria over the weekend. And I just have this bad feeling that the industrial, military industrial complex wants to have a war somewhere. And Donald Trump is coming out and saying it isn't any of our business. I know where you stand on war. What do you see coming?

[Rand Paul]

I agree completely with Donald Trump on this. And the people who took over the rebels who won. Their new name is a new name given to an old group called Al Nusra, which were associated with Al Qaeda. So they were Islamist, meaning that they were for a radical, fundamental sort of nature of Islam that doesn't treat women well, doesn't treat Christians well, etc. A very primitive form of Islam. Well, they've been fighting there for a long time. There's also another group called ISIS that is actually somewhat the same fundamental Islamist. And then there are also other groups there as well. There have been the Russians there, there have been Iranian proxies there, there have been Assad there. Caught in the mix are hundreds of thousands of Christians who have always had sanctuary since the time of Christ, frankly, and are at risk. And so we have 900 soldiers. 900 soldiers isn't enough to organize a parade. I mean, 900 soldiers is not who you go to war with. You want to go to war in Syria. You put 5, 10, 100,000 troops, and you don't put 900 troops in there, they become targets. Not a deterrent. They're not deterring anything. But if some of them are killed, and I hope this doesn't happen, then all of a sudden, maybe we are drugged into the middle of a civil war where there are no good people on either side of it.

[Glenn Beck]

Let me ask you one final question about. You've got a bill coming out that's similar to the South Korean law, which I don't even know what happened in South Korea. I'm still confused by that. Where the U.S. senate would allow presidential emergencies to continue only with a majority vote in Congress, which I 100% back. What does this mean to all of the emergencies that we have dating way, way back that are still in effect?

[Rand Paul]

They expire. And currently, if a president has an emergency, the emergency can only be stopped by Congress if Congress votes to stop it, but then the president would veto it. So it really takes a 2/3 vote of Congress to stop an emergency. My bill would actually change it. Where it's a simple majority. We don't have to vote to stop it. It stops automatically by statute. We had this in Kentucky in our state government. Our governor shut down the hotels, made it illegal to travel, made it illegal to go to church during COVID and the legislature couldn't stop him because they were in session. So when they finally came back in session, our Kentucky legislature said governor's emergencies last 30 days, then they expire and less affirmed by a majority of the legislature. So this reverses it. Instead of needing 2/3 to stop a crazy governor or a crazy president, it actually takes a simple. You have to have a simple majority to affirm it. So it really completely flips this on its head. And it's what we have all wanted. And some partisans will say, oh, this is against Donald Trump. No, I had this under Harris, I had this under Biden. I've had this under. I've had this bill for years. And both Mike Lee and I have fought on this out of principle, nothing to do with who the president is.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't want, I don't want any, I don't want any president to have this kind of power. We have got to reduce the power of the president of the United States. And if he goes in and does everything by executive order. We lose because the next guy will come in and do exactly what Biden did and just cancel it all. We've got to get back to a debate, to reason, and to Congress and the Senate actually doing their job.

[Rand Paul]

This is something that people need to realize that it's not new because people get caught up in the situation. They think it's about one person or another. The constitutional position of conservatives and limited government advocates has always been that, as Madison said, we divided the powers, we separated the powers, and we wanted to pit ambition against ambition. In other words, the ambition of people to try to take power would be pitted by the others trying to keep them from taking power. But over the last hundred years since fdr, the power of the presidency has gradually expanded. And what we need now is a stronger legislature and less power for the central authority to balance that power again. This was sort of Montesquieu saying that when the executive legislates, when he has both the power to execute and legislate, that's when liberty fails, that's when tyranny arrives. And so, I don't know, people just need to realize this has nothing to do with an individual, a new president, an old president. It has all to do with constitutional principles that have always motivated those of us who believe in limited government.

[Glenn Beck]

It's amazing what is happening in, in San Diego. We have Jim Desmond on, he's a supervisor of San Diego County. Supervisor is going to tell us tomorrow they are going to propose, the Democrats are going to propose that ICE completely disengage with the United States government. They do not deport, they don't help. I mean it's crazy. In San Diego, California. Jim's going to join us and tell us what can be done and I hope Donald Trump is going to penalize these sanctuary cities more in a minute. The Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to you about rebuilding America. It is so important that we rebuild our manufacturing. This is the only reason why I'm considering my position on, on trade tariffs. Because if the president can drop our income tax and the income tax of the regular person so we don't feel it so much when prices go up and the tax of corporations, those corporations will come to America instead of paying that high tariff. We have to rebuild our factories. Now. There have been some very brave people, but nobody more brave than American Giant that have gone back in and said, we've got to make things in America with quality that lasts. They this, this company is showing China that they've awoken an American giant. Buy american [e-mail] Glen if you're looking for a great Christmas gift of shirts or clothing or pants, whatever.

I'm so sick and tired of hearing these sanctuary cities that were just crying uncle when it was Joe Biden. Oh, we can't handle this. We can't handle. We're going to collapse. We need more federal money. As soon as Donald Trump comes in, they all double down. We're sanctuary cities. We're not going to do anything to help this man. Really, I hope Donald Trump comes down with a massive hammer on these cities in these counties. I want to talk to you about what's happening in San Diego County. One of the supervisors there, the county supervisor for San Diego, Jim Desmond, is raising the red flag, saying, hello, wake up, everybody, because tomorrow they are going to propose doubling down on their sanctuary city status. We're going to talk to Jim about that in 60 seconds. Stand by. We are right around the corner from the day we celebrate the birth of the most important baby to ever have been born, Jesus Christ. The preciousness of one single life is a core belief at the very foundation of everything we believe. And working to preserve that life from the ravages of abortion in this country is something we all should be doing one way or another. This is one reason that the Ministry of Preborn is so important. They save 200 babies every day by offering free ultrasounds to expecting mothers, doubling that baby's chance at Life. For just $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound. They also supply moms with diapers and car seats, counseling and so much more for up to two years. Because it's not just the baby, it's mom we care about, too.

[Jim Desmond]

Hey, good morning, Glenn. I'm doing well. Thanks for having me on.

[Glenn Beck]

Gee. So what is happening in San Diego now?

[Jim Desmond]

Oh, man. Well, overall, what it is is really disrupting cooperation between our local law enforcement and ice, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And so anytime you disrupt or try to stop that communication or cooperation, basically you're making us more unsafe. And that's really what the overall crux is. What they're trying to do is not have ICE involved primarily with the people that we have in the jails here in San Diego county, even though they're here illegally and even though they're criminals. One of my colleagues is putting forward an effort that we don't have that cooperation between ICE and local law enforcement. Matter of fact, we sever it. And that's what's being proposed.

[Glenn Beck]

Let me read just an excerpt of this. Shall not provide assistance or cooperation to ICE in its civil immigration enforcement efforts, including by giving ICE agents access to individuals or allowing them to use county facilities to investigate interviews or other purposes, expending county time or resources, responding to ICE inquiries, or communicating with ICE regarding individuals incarceration status or release dates or otherwise participating in any civil immigration enforcement activities. This insane it is.

[Jim Desmond]

And to have that and you know, these are criminals. These are criminals that have been charged. They're in our jails and they're either, you know, that while they're in, they should be able to be I should be able to come in and investigate and see if they should be deported or not. And when they get released and unfortunately, you know, these, they're going to be released back into our communities. They have there's no retribution. And if we don't deport these people, you know, this is really what we need to do to make ourselves, our countries and our communities safer is get these illegal immigrants that are here and that are criminals. They should be deported first. They should be out the door. There should be no question about that. And that just, you know, the community, we have people, you know, coming onto our beaches here in San Diego county and boatloads, and they just walking into the communities and disappearing into the country. We have the border here as well. We had over 150,000 people just dropped in our streets here after they came across the border with no vetting. And so, you know, in San Diego county, you know, we're. We're a coastal community in California which is still, unfortunately, mostly blue, but we've also got safety concerns, and I'm hoping that most people wake up to that and say, hey, these criminal illegal immigrants have to be deported.

[Glenn Beck]

So we're on in San Diego, and I hope that people are listening. And do they need to attend this meeting? What do they need to do?

[Jim Desmond]

Well, they need to attend or call in. They can do that. They can contact the county, county administration office and they get information on how to. How to call in and how to voice, you know, make your voices be heard. Because this is really insane, the fact that we've got criminal elements here that are being released back into our streets. And there people are here illegally and pretty, you know, the people that this, my colleague is trying to protect are other illegal immigrants is what she's trying to protect. But by allowing the criminal ones to stay here, that's hurting the same neighborhoods that she's trying to protect. To me, it's just ludicrous to try to attempt to just allow that criminal element to stay here in San Diego county when they should be deported out of.

[Glenn Beck]

In San Diego, when the vote came through and people were voting red, where was immigration on the list of things people were voting for? Because I would imagine in San Diego. So if I was voting for Donald Trump, that would be pretty high on the list.

[Jim Desmond]

Oh, absolutely. I do think immigration is huge just because we're the front, we're the doormat here in California, where Gavin Newsom just puts out the red carpet for people to come across. And so there was a Republican shift, there was a red shift, but not enough. I think it was only about 12%. We needed about double that here in San Diego County. So immigration is on top of people are on top of people's minds. Thing is, unfortunately, most. Most people are too busy to understand what's going on because they got their own lives and families and kids and to understand the nuances of what this is really going to do. And to me, it's going to be harmful to the community and affect public safety for all of our neighborhoods here, not only in San Diego county, but in the rest of the country.

[Glenn Beck]

Do you think there's any Chance that California returns. I mean, Tanya and I have been talking about moving to Florida. You know, as I get older, I guess I have to go with a metal detector onto a beach someplace. And I've always hated the humidity. I grew up in the west coast and I always, always wanted to live in San Diego. I won't even consider it because your state is so insane. Is there a chance this ever changes?

[Jim Desmond]

I hope so. I'm crossing my fingers. We used to have, you know, we used to have Ronald Reagan.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Jim Desmond]

We'Ve had some good leaders in the past but unfortunately it's shifted and unfortunately our entire state government, they have a super majority of Democrats so even Republican voices hardly ever get heard. But I think people are waking up here, particularly you know, to the immigration issue. And I think that's front of people's minds. And even the, you know, the richer beach or you know, more affluent beach communities where these boats are landing, it used to be like two or three a week. We just have a day, dozen people jump off the boat and run into the neighborhood, get picked up and go someplace else. So I'm hoping there's some change. And immigration is definitely on top of people's minds but they got to understand that we got to get rid of the illegal immigrants that are here committing crimes and allow law enforcement agencies to work together to keep us safe.

[Glenn Beck]

Is there any thought at all about Donald Trump cracking down on sanctuary cities?

[Jim Desmond]

I mean, well, hey, I'm liking what Homan has been saying here lately.

[Glenn Beck]

Cracking down, right?

[Jim Desmond]

Yeah, you know, there's ways they can do that, you know, with funding and things like that. And you know, we can't break federal law. If they make a federal law such that law enforcement agencies have to work together, then we can't really, you know, we can't, you know, push against that. But I think, I think there's a possibility of some rational people finally getting around and saying, hey, this isn't safe. You know, we want immigration, we want it done legally but we can't. But people, if they're going to come here and just walk across the border, ask for asylum and then commit crimes. And these are high end crimes we're talking about. This is, you know, possession of a firearm, gang related violence, burglary, robbery, child abuse and their endangered. Those are the things that are going to be taken off the list if this passes to where ICE can come in and talk and work with the criminal elements.

[Glenn Beck]

Just insane, just insane. We're talking to Jim Desmond, he is a San Diego county supervisor all right, just one last push. What do people do if they want to get involved and help?

[Jim Desmond]

Well, you can contact my office at Jim Desmond at San Diego county or you can contact the county offices. Look for the meetings, go to the agenda. You can call in. That's probably the easiest thing to do instead of waiting, you know, because the meetings go for several hours. You can call in when you and voice your concerns. Tell our, Tell my colleagues. Because unfortunately, I'm at the wrong end of a 3, 2 on this board. And I have a hunch it's going to pass. And so we really want to let these folks know that, hey, we want legal immigration, we want law enforcement to work together. That's the message.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank you so much, Jim. I appreciate it. God bless.

[Jim Desmond]

Thanks, Michael.

[Glenn Beck]

[Glenn Beck]

Do you have that on your bingo card?

[Stu Burguiere]

No, I don't. I don't think.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't either.

[Stu Burguiere]

He wants it too much, and I think he's pissed off that he lost his nomination.

[Glenn Beck]

And I don't even know where she's. Does anybody know where she even is?

[Stu Burguiere]

I have not seen her.

[Glenn Beck]

I've not seen her anywhere.

[Stu Burguiere]

Just seems like just a complete evaporation.

[Glenn Beck]

Right? It's like Where's Waldo? Except they're both the leaders of our country.

[Stu Burguiere]

Or Where's Walza? Because Wallace has been completely invisible too, which that I liked. I'm glad. I'm glad he's gone. But they've got some great paintings up here as well. The Captain America one's great. With George Washington as Captain America.

[Glenn Beck]

[Stu Burguiere]

[Stu Burguiere]

It's incredible. It's an incredible story. You know, she doesn't know where her phone is. She's trying to get home, right? And at the end she finds out, oh, she had it with herself the whole time. The whole time.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's. That's the whole song.

[Glenn Beck]

Crazy story.

[Glenn Beck]

So that's pretty great support. Great support. Anyway, you can find everything@glenn beckchristmas.com glenn beckchristmas.com really, really great stuff for Christmas.

[Stu Burguiere]

We had a story that I was going to do the tie to a little bit toward the last guest. It feels a little weird coming out of a Christmas, really with it because it's very dark. Yeah, very dark. We're talking about the abuse of children.

[Glenn Beck]

Which, hey, not exactly kind of takes me out of the Christmas.

[Stu Burguiere]

It does a little bit. But this is actually more of a question about is this how journalism works?

[Glenn Beck]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

Is this how news works, Glenn? Because I've been in this business for a while, but I didn't know this is how news works.

[Glenn Beck]

All right. All right.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is a horrific story, okay, from the New York Times that talks about abuse of children on potentially, I guess, a brand new kind of set of apps. Okay. And I don't want to go into the details because it's the worst story I've ever read in my life. But I am glad I read it for this one detail. But they had basically it's this idea that women mothers across the world are apparently streaming the abuse of their children to pedophiles in other countries. That's the story. But let me just give you this. How do you feel comfortable with this arrangement? The New York Times learned of the streaming of this child abuse on a site that I will not name, which they do from a 39 year old man in Utah who had visited the woman's profile page on his iPhone in what he described as a period of suicidal depression. The man, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, paid $550 for the mother and another woman to sexually abuse their daughters, including the eight year old girl and another believed to be three or four.

[Glenn Beck]

No.

[Stu Burguiere]

Some of the payments were made through in app tokens. Most of the money was transferred through PayPal. The money. The man saved recordings of the sessions and reported them to the Canadian center for Child Protection, which verified the abuse to the Times. Now I'm happy I guess if all of this went on that this was reported to authorities and I'm glad the New York Times is calling out these apps and companies that they can be banned from the site, apparently from the App store. But like, do we just take tips from a guy who participated in child abuse and then he's just like, ah, he's an unnamed guy.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm glad. Sorry.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's a source. I guess his child abuse of two minors does not get punished. Now is he just okay to go with this? What is that how news works?

[Glenn Beck]

Glenn, I need more than 10 seconds to answer that question.

[Stu Burguiere]

I would love to get your answer.

[Glenn Beck]

All right. At some point when we come back, stand up, Glenn Beck. First we're going to have to go to the border patrol because the border or something is happening down on the border that's really, really good. We have to talk about try relief factor. That's what they said. Got inflammatory properties, help get out of pain. They said they said that a lot. And you know what? Turns out they were right. My wife was the one who said, yeah, you got to try everything. Okay. All right. All right. It has taken away so much of the pain. I used to live with it. It's unbelievable. I got my life back. It's a daily supplement. So it's not a drug. It's all natural daily supplement.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the program from Breitbart News. A border patrol retiree, Randy Clark, a guy who's really been following what what's going on on the border is on with us. I want to, I wanted to talk to him about a couple of things. First of all, Randy, welcome to the program. Have you seen, have you seen any difference in Mexico and on the border since Donald Trump, I think it was last week, talked to the president of Mexico and said, you know, things are going to change. Is the military of Mexico, have they done anything different?

[Randy Clark]

So we haven't seen a significant posture change. They are still actively keeping a lot of migrants in southern Mexico from Mexico City all the way to Tapachula. There's been some loosening from my sources in Mexico on the highway checkpoints. But the train that La Bestia train that we have seen thousands and thousands of migrants use to get to the, to the border, it's basically void. You know, they're still very strongly doing that. So my sources unofficially have said the number has reduced for November apprehensions to less than 50,000, which is important because that's the threshold. Remember the 2500 threshold per day that President Biden set in his executive order to deny asylum? We're well under that. We're close to 1200 a day nationwide. So it's staying pretty slow along the border thus far.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it needs to go even. The number needs to rise. On the trip back, are you seeing any movement at all on people who were either on their way to the border turning around or people that are here getting out? If we have any indication of that?

[Randy Clark]

No, we certainly don't. What we know is we're seeing caravans assemble, we're seeing the Mexican government allowing them to walk for a few days, get tired, and then dispersing them to cities around southern Mexico, urging them to wait for a CBP1 appointment or to use the CHVN parole program right now. But that's the complicating factor, Glenn, is that's definitely going to end as soon as the hand hits the the Bible and President Trump has sworn in, we're assured that that's going to end. So that's, that's 1450 people allowed in daily through ports of entry along the southwest border and another thousand a day through the airport. So you're looking at nearly a million people a year under those two programs alone. They're going to shortly find out that they're not going to get any appointment scheduled after January 20th. So the question is, how is Mexico going to kind of keep a lid on that pressure cooker they're going to have in a few short days?

[Glenn Beck]

We are talking to a retiree of the Border Patrol and a great reporter for Breitbart News who is really an expert on this, Randy Clark. Randy, the drug cartels have made so much money, they've doubled the price since Donald Trump got into office of Getting across. I personally think this is just my opinion, but I think that we're almost in bed with these drug cartels and almost in business with him in some ways. Donald Trump has said he's going to take them, take him on, and I think he will militarily. What's going to happen to, let's say, the new president of Mexico if she has to start cracking down on these cartels? People usually die in her position in Mexico.

[Randy Clark]

And I think we're seeing, you know, not an acknowledgment that she's going to be somewhat different than the predecessor in Mexico who believed in the hugs and not bullets. There are still some battles between the Mexican government and the Sinaloa cartel going on, although it's not highly publicized, but the murder rate there is through the roof. The murders continue in Mexico. So if she doesn't cooperate with the United States, they're still sitting on top of a horrible death rate for Mexican citizens in every state, really, in their union. So I think it behooves her to cooperate, but we must act. When you look at how many children and young adults are dying from fentanyl, it's marketed poisoning of our youth. So it's something that I take the president at his word, too. My last year before I retired was under Donald Trump, and the same folks he's nominating to run this Department of Homeland Security were involved in the policies and practices that saw us reach the lowest number of border crossings. They've got this all on the drawing board already. I think they're just going to enhance it and run it into high gear as soon as they get in January and be very creative about how we undo this mess we've seen over the last three years.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, Randy, I too know a few people that he has hand selected that are, no nonsense, people that are gearing for this. What would the, what would the reaction of Mexico and the Mexican people be if we just started sending seal teams in to take these cartels out?

[Randy Clark]

Well, you know, I think in some Mexican states they would probably welcome that because, you know, if you look to see what El Salvador is doing right now and you see the phenomenal impact Bukele's, you know, policies are having on crime there and the murder rate, that's the way we all want to live. None of us want to live in a place where you can't enjoy your surroundings and move and your children aren't safe. So I think you'd have some people in Mexico saying it's about time. The question Is can we push them to do for themselves? And I think we can. And I, and I think we've seen that since January. Right now, border crossings here in Eagle Pass that everybody witnessed on the news are down 80%. They were 250,000 in a month across the southwest border in December of last year. They are about 46,000amonth right now. So we can see what Mexico can do if you, if you really put the pressure on. And nobody better than President Elect Trump knows the leverage that he possesses and how to use it. So I think we can get a lot out of him without having to do that military interaction intervention directly by declaring them terrorist organizations, by seizing that money, by stopping remittances to Mexico that are to the tune of $60 billion a year. So there's a lot that President Trump understands and his crew understands they can do to get a handle on a lot of these things. And I think the government of Mexico is already preparing for that, or they would have undone some of their enforcement efforts once they found out Kamala Harris lost.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, if you ask the average person who has deported more, more people than any other president, maybe they would say Eisenhower. They of course, would probably say Donald Trump here soon. But the one that is way over everybody else, everybody else is in the 2,3 million kind of number. The one that is the highest at 11 million is bill Clinton. And, you know, nobody said anything about that. I didn't even. I was shocked when I read that. And I don't remember anybody saying anything about deporting. But he did it the right way and he got 11, 11 million people out from actually physically deporting and making it so uncomfortable that they would self deport. What do you think Trump's move in policy is going to be like to deport all of these people?

[Randy Clark]

Well, I'm going to take him at his word. I think we're looking at mass deportations because it has to be a big program. I've stood on the Mexican side of river and watched a single group of over 2000 cross the border in one single group. I had never seen that in 32 years, never in that same area. It would have been a big deal five, six years before to see 20 people, 30 people in a group perhaps crossing. It would have created quite a stir amongst the workplace. Let's get over there and let's find these folks. 2400, it's hard to deal with. So if the removals are not going to be on a pace to match what we saw coming in, it would Take decades to get this done. But I think there's, you know, we own the parole that we have granted out. We know it was for folks that were unvetted. So there are a ton of people that are out of status right now that were released, some released with notices to report to ICE offices across the country that have disappeared. So I think no one's going to be more creative than the staff in January on how to get this done. I think they have a lot of tools. I think they need to look at the enforcement of employer sanctions provisions because if you disrupt the economy, people will stop hiring undocumented workers.

[Glenn Beck]

And if you.

[Randy Clark]

I think they know that. Tom Holton knows that better than anybody else.

[Glenn Beck]

And if you were advising the president, what would your policy be? What would you push for, for the punishment of sanctuary cities?

[Randy Clark]

Well, you know, I think if you look at the existing laws, you cannot harbor, you can't harbor aid a bet whether it's in a building, anybody that you have reason to believe is in the United States in violation of law.

[Jim Desmond]

Right.

[Randy Clark]

So when ICE gives these detainers to these sanctuary cities for someone accused of rape that we know has already been removed, they are harboring when they don't let the ICE agents in there to do their job and they release them on the street, so they're not only endangering their communities. I think clearly you could say that is aiding and abetting. That's harboring. When you say you can't come in this building because we don't want you to do your federal job. So I think with a Congress installed, it's a Republican. My advice is to get everybody together and harden this and make it very clear, just like everybody has pushed for how many years to prosecute January six violators, take the same impetus and go against folks who fight this federal government to the letter of the law and say if you're a sheriff and you don't allow them in your county jails, if you release folks that we have told you, ISIS told you are in the country illegally, you have harbored, aided and abetted, and we've seen rogue police officers get put in jail for violating criminal statutes while on the job, well, that should pertain to everybody. And then you've got the pocketbook. All of these states, like California, receives over $160 billion in federal assistance. Maybe not penalized students, but maybe you can turn around and say, hey, maybe some secondary education programs at the liberal universities aren't going to get money if you don't abide by federal law. It's so, it's quite simple. I think they're going to be more creative than I am.

[Glenn Beck]

I hope so. I hope so. Randy, thank you so much. I appreciate it. And thanks for all your writing at Breitbart and everything you've done in your, in your history there on the border. God bless you.

[Randy Clark]

Thank you, Glenn. Y'all have a merry, merry Christmas.

[Glenn Beck]

You too. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Who you do business with says a lot about you. The parallel economy has, has started to take off and it is incredibly important. I mean, the things that we didn't have far as infrastructure for conservatives just 10 years ago, 12 years ago, when I bought the, when I started the Blaze, it was, there was nothing like it. Now look at what we have. We are, we have put not just the Blaze, but all of us like the Blaze have put the mainstream media almost out of business. That's crazy. That's just because we all knew what we needed to do and we did it and you supported us. So when you do business with companies that are trying to save the country, it's incredibly important. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile company. And their mission is to passionately defend our God given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always. And they do that. That by providing great nationwide dependable coverage for your cell phone, access to all three major networks. You get the same coverage without sending money to leftist causes.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome back to the Glenn Beck Program. I just want to go through some of the audio from this weekend. Donald Trump was in France and he met with President Macron and kind of gave him a, kind of gave him a man's handshake. Look at that. Just like, and Macron's like, oh, okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. All righty. Let go, let's go. They didn't get along before, but Macron had kind of a different attitude this time around, as seemingly everyone does. Let me go to Trump on NBC with RFK talking about RFK and child vaccines. Listen to what he said. Do you want to see childhood vaccines.

[Kristen Welker]

Eliminated if they're dangerous for the children? Look, so possibly when you look at some of the problems, when you look at what's going on with disease and sickness in our country, something's wrong.

[Glenn Beck]

Are you talking about autism?

[Kristen Welker]

Well, if you take a look at autism, you go back 25 years, autism was almost non existent. It was, you know, one out of 100,000. And now it's close to one out of 100. Well, I mean, what, what's happening if they can find it now? I did something the other night that was a little unusual at Mar a Lago. I called the drug companies, top drug companies, and I called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and some of his people. And I said, let's all get together and let's figure out where we're going, because we're going to do a lot of things. Number one, we're going to reduce prices because the middleman makes more money than the drug companies. In all fairness to the drug companies, there's a middleman that nobody even knows who they are. And you look at our drug prices, they're much higher than the prices for the same medicine, for the same, same stuff. So we met and we were met for a long time and we talked about pricing and we talked about vaccines. You know, in terms of what happens, we talked about pesticides, we talked about everything. And I think a lot of good things are going to come from him. And he's, he's not going to upset any system. He's not going to upset this. He's not looking to, you know, to reinvent the wheel totally. But when you look at the numbers, we really don't have a very healthy country, sir.

[Glenn Beck]

Going back 25 years, studies show that there is no link between vaccines and autism. And yet it sounds like you are open to the possibility of him looking.

[Kristen Welker]

I'm open to getting rid of them. I think somebody has to find out. If you go back 25 years ago, you had very little autism. Now you have it.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, well, they say because they're better at identity identifying it. What a bunch of bullshit.

[Kristen Welker]

That is 1 in 100,000 and now it's 1 in 100. That's a pretty bad number. Childhood vaccines I mean, something is going on. I don't know if it's vaccines, maybe it's, maybe it's chlorine in the water. Right? You know, people are looking at a lot of different things.

[Glenn Beck]

You know what's amazing to me is how they're defending this and he's not saying he knows what it is. And I'm sorry, we're better at diagnosing. Did you know autistic people? Did you know a lot of people that were like autistic children now? I didn't, I didn't. I don't think I knew any when I was growing up. Better at counting them. What a bunch of bull crap. That seems to be the Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you about my Patriot supply. With the Trump administration coming in, feel pretty good. Good. Feel pretty good. But the last thing we should do is let our guard down. There is a lot that can happen. He's got a lot of work to do on the border. We should get to some of the stuff that's coming legally for him. It's. It. I mean, we're still at war with darkness, I think. May I suggest that you get a four week emergency food kit. You can get it in as little as a day and right now you can get that for $50 off. It has everything you need, 2,000 calories a day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dinner, drinks, snacks, desserts, everything. Go to my patriotsupply.com, my patriotsupply.com. get your four week emergency food kit now. My patriotsupply.com. contact them now. And if you order by 3:00, you'll have it by tomorrow. I think so. All right, final hours. Stu, you ready? Go. Final hour.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm ready to go. I'm pumped up.

[Glenn Beck]

This is ready to go.

[Stu Burguiere]

Let's do it.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Are you turning into a cowboy during the show? Now there's even more cowboy layers. What?

[Glenn Beck]

I just put my coat on. That's all I did.

[Stu Burguiere]

Why is it, why is it, why do you need a coat in the studio? I don't understand. What's the reasoning for something like that?

[Glenn Beck]

Jerk.

[Stu Burguiere]

Is the temperature maybe a little inappropriate for humans?

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. It was a busy weekend for the President. He was in France meeting with world leaders. He had a deal with Syria, and worse than that, he had to deal with then NBC. And we'll give you the details coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about American financing. You know what's really stressful is trying to you know, have a memorable holiday with your family and prices incredibly high and a ton of Americans are maxing out their credit cards. I have to tell you, I know what this is like, and there is nothing worse than you feel. Gosh, I don't know if I should say, because this is the way I felt. I felt like the worst dad in the world when I couldn't afford presents and gifts for my kids. You know, it was something cheap and I knew it was something that they didn't want. It was just all I could afford. But that's just a lie. You can make Christmas anything. Don't make it about the gifts. And this too shall pass. I know it. But if you're under a whole bunch of stress because of your credit cards maxed out, would you please call American Financing? You might be surprised what options you didn't even know you had. From mortgage refinancing to other forms of debt consolidation, even accessing the high equity that you have in your home to pay off the high interest debts, American Financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as a thousand. So call American financing now at 8009-0624-4080-0906-2440 or go to American Financing.net nmls182334nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for Ritz in the five starts at.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the program and welcome to Stubbergar.

[Stu Burguiere]

Thank you, Glenn. And Donald Trump went on Meet the Press this weekend.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is what you're supposed to do if you're gonna be. Yeah, apparently. So we're just supposed to reflexively go to NBC News whenever those days are over. Well, I thought they were, too.

[Glenn Beck]

No, I mean, he has to do them, but no.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, does he? Does he have to do them?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I think he should do a little of everything. You know what I mean? I think you shouldn't just go to podcasts. That's what Barack Obama did, remember? And he was doing interviews with, you know, who was that woman in the bathtub. And you're like, okay, this is ridiculous. You got. You don't have to do the bathtub one. But I think you should, you should go on places where, you know, you're not yet adversarial. You're not going to get an inter good interview. I think that's required as president.

[Stu Burguiere]

I agree with that.

[Glenn Beck]

I as president, not necessarily as a.

[Stu Burguiere]

As a candidate. I think it's something you should do. I mean, I think Kamala Harris should have done an adversarial interview during the campaign at some point, which she did not do.

[Glenn Beck]

She didn't do interviews.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, she wasn't doing anything for a very long time. Then they switched. Switched strategies and it did not help. In fact, it went the opposite direction. No, they really. I do wonder, there is the alternate world, what that election would have looked like if she just continued to do nothing. I think it would have been closer. I think if she never did an interview, it would have been closer.

[Glenn Beck]

I think you're right on that. I think you're right. The more she spoke, the more you were like, oh, dear God, no, no, don't do that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because I think they. They correctly realized that there were a certain amount of people who were very worried about a candidate that couldn't do an interview. Right. And so they tried to solve that by doing interviews. And what they should have done is just let those people go, realize they're not going to vote for you and hope.

[Glenn Beck]

Has anybody noticed? And I am biased because I've been talking to him. Him off air and watching him talk to a lot of people, you know, without cameras around. And his. His grasp on deep subjects has changed a great deal. Have you noticed Donald Trump in interviews is not the same guy he was in 2020?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I think that's true. He certainly seems to be more focused and has a real play as to.

[Glenn Beck]

What he's gonna do.

[Stu Burguiere]

As we know it's directly Project 2025, which he commissioned, we should remember, of course. No, yeah, no, it does seem like he. You made the description. I think it was last week, which has been sticking with me, which is after 2020, he just spent four years. Just like, this isn't gonna happen to me again. Like, I'm going to make sure these things. If I get a president, if I'm able to become president again, I'm not going to be hit by all of these.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm not going to be surprised ever again.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. And it seems like he's coming in, he's ready. Ready for this.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, he's ready. The other thing that happened to him that I think has cut down all of his slams and everything else. I mean, he still does, but you'll notice he's not as crazy on things, and I think that's.

[Stu Burguiere]

What do you mean, look crazy on things?

[Glenn Beck]

Like, just not as, like, worried about, like, name calling.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

You know what? I mean, he's not like that as much because I think he. You know, I think it really. This is just my speculation. Put yourself in his shoes. In 2014, everybody on both sides loved him, right? Maybe not as the president, but they loved him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Everybody, celebrities.

[Glenn Beck]

And he was a great guy, and he's a philanthropist, and he's done so much, and then he gets in and. And everybody that were his friends that knew him and knew what he was like, they all of a sudden turned on him. And I think that just took him by absolute surprise. And he just kept. He had to keep punching and punching and punching and punching. And I think now a couple of things have happened. One, he just stopped caring, because you do care. No matter what anybody says, you do care. And he stopped caring. And then I think when he was shot, I think he found his purpose. And I also think in the following months, he kind of became cool. He became the guy who could go on Saturday Night Live and make fun of himself, you know what I mean? And everybody would accept him. He became kind of mainstream. And so I don't think he feels like he has to punch anymore.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I have noticed a difference in him. I mean, I think getting shot, no.

[Glenn Beck]

Matter what happened, that was critical. That was critical to his change.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. I mean, it has to change you. Right?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And so he's going into this with a real plan. And one of his. One part of his plan. This is gonna be. Clip 4 is his plan to end birthright citizenship. This is. Is obviously highly controversial. Many people on the left do not like it at all. They asked him about it on Meet the Press with. Was it Wexler? Christine Wexler?

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. Somebody that nobody's ever heard of because everybody you have heard of has no credibility.

[Stu Burguiere]

There you go.

[Glenn Beck]

You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is that still your plan?

[Kristen Welker]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Glenn Beck]

The 14th amendment, though, says that, quote, all persons born in the United. United States are citizens. Can you get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action?

[Kristen Welker]

Well, we're going to change. We maybe have to go back to the people, but we have to end it. We're the only country that has it.

[Glenn Beck]

Through an executive action.

[Kristen Welker]

You know, we're the only country that has it. Do you know if somebody sets a foot, just a foot. One foot. You don't need to. On our land. Congratulations. You are now a citizen of the United States of America. Yes, we're going to end that because it's ridiculous.

[Glenn Beck]

Through executive action.

[Kristen Welker]

Well, if we can. Through executive action. I was going to do it through executive action, but then we had to fix Covid first, to be honest with you. We have to end it.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, so notice what happened. Here she comes to the 14th. Stu, tell me why the 14th amendment was first written. What is that really about?

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, wrong to say slavery.

[Glenn Beck]

No. Slavery.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, yeah, it was written. You looked at me like I was going to.

[Glenn Beck]

No, no, no, no, no, no. It was written for slavery. It was written because all citizens could vote and, you know, you have certain rights, blah, blah, blah. And so the Southerners, the Democrats said, well, they're not citizens. They're not citizens. They're. They're from Africa.

[Stu Burguiere]

So they can't vote.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, so they can't vote. Okay. If you were born here, even if you were born a slave, you're a citizen. That's what that was about. That was not about illegal immigration. Illegal immigration. Come over here, get into a hospital, have a baby, and now congratulations, everybody is a citizen, that we are the only one that has it. And the only reason we do have it is because of slavery. It was a way to make sure that Democrats didn't just cut blacks out of the vote again. That's what's so crazy. And so notice, he says, says we may have to go back to the people. Can you just change that? Well, no, it's a constitutional amendment, so we may have to go back to the people. He says that first. Her immediate response is through executive action. No, I just. I just said we may have to go back to the people.

[Stu Burguiere]

There are several parts in this interview where she doesn't even. It doesn't seem like she's even listening to him. But she's got this idea of what Donald Trump says in this moment, and she's like, already acted it out with her producers multiple times, so she's just not even listening.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, and also that's why they. That's why none of them have any credibility, because there's not an honest exchange. There is no honest questions. He just said we may have to go. He volunteered. We may have to go back to the American people for that. So you're suggesting that maybe it would be a constitutional amendment? Well, yeah, I think we would have to do it. I might. If I get stuck, I might try to find a way to do it through executive action. But it is a constitutional amendment. So, yes, that's an honest conversation.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

That's not what she did.

[Stu Burguiere]

No. Do we have this clip handy again to play it again? I wanna see if you catch this one little bit. In this. This is a clip for. Again, listen to her verbiage of the 14th Amendment.

[Glenn Beck]

You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is that still your plan?

[Kristen Welker]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Glenn Beck]

The 14th Amendment, though says that, quote, all persons born in the United States are citizens. Can you get around.

[Stu Burguiere]

Is that a quote? All persons born in the United States are citizens. That's what she said. The 14th Amendment.

[Glenn Beck]

No, now that you asked me, I doubt it is right, but I don't do. Have you looked it up?

[Stu Burguiere]

I have it.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

All persons born or naturalized in the United States. So she leaves that out, but. But not necessarily important to the conversation. But the next part is, comma, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, comma, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. The whole 14th Amendment argument, and you might disagree with this part of it, is that that phrase and subject to the jurisdiction thereof means that illegal immigrants are not included. Now I.

[Glenn Beck]

How. How?

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, they're not subject to that jurisdiction.

[Glenn Beck]

So in other words, the. Well, if mom and baby slaves would be. Right. If mom and baby were here, then they would be subject to that jurisdiction, but the family would not be because they're someplace else.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think the argument. And again, I wouldn't say. I'm an Expert on the 14th Amendment argument here.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm going to tell you, I absolutely am so far away from an expert. Right, right. Okay. You might as well talk to a fisherman.

[Stu Burguiere]

What I have heard is people make this argument before, okay? And the argument basically is to be subject to that jurisdiction does not mean that you don't. You know, everyone of course, has to follow the laws of a country that you move into. But to be subject to that jurisdiction means that you have to have a basis in the country. Country. So it's not like you just cross the border and hey, I'm now a subject of this jurisdiction. You're a visitor, right, or in this case a criminal crossing the border. So you would not get necessarily those protections of that 14th amendment.

[Glenn Beck]

May I just say, the only thing I hate the founders for is their use of commas.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's a good point.

[Glenn Beck]

Stop with the use of commas. Could you please, for the love of Pete. The right to keep and bear arms, comma, under a well run regulated militia, comma, shall not be infringed. Can you stop with the commas, right? It makes it too complex. Now stop with the commas.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's very true, but I mean, I think regardless of what you think about the argument of the 14th Amendment and people who believe illegal Immigrants would not be grandfathered into that. If it's foundational to the argument, why would you skip it?

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

You have to bring that up.

[Glenn Beck]

Could you do me a favor? Do you have chatgpt or something like that? Grok or something? Yeah, Type that in and ask what that means.

[Stu Burguiere]

Sure. It'll take me a second, obviously.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, yeah. All right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Do you want to. Do you want to go to. Onto the next clip or you want to stick?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, let's go to the next clip.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, next one is on Ukraine and what needs to happen with Ukraine. This is again, Trump on Meet the Press.

[Kristen Welker]

There are people being killed in that war at levels that nobody's ever seen before. You have to go Back to the 2nd, 2nd World War, and even that, if you take a look at. And you know what it is? It's the soldiers, largely, the cities have been emptied out and demolished. The country has been demolished. If I won that election, which you know how I feel about it, I won't get into it because we don't need to start that argument. I think it's an easy argument. It was really proven even more conclusively by the win that I had on this one.

[Glenn Beck]

But.

[Kristen Welker]

But you did well, that's your opinion, but I disagree with it. Had I assumed kept control, number one, Israel wouldn't have happened. Number two, Ukraine would have never happened. It would have never happened. Ukraine, Russia. But the number of people that are being killed, soldiers, young, beautiful soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people are being killed. And, you know, it's very interesting. It's level, totally level. The battlefields totally level. You know what's happening. The only thing that stops a bullet, you know what it is, is a body, a human body. And the people that are being killed, hundreds of thousands on both sides. Russia's lost probably 500,000. Ukraine's lost higher than they say, probably 400,000. You're talking about hundreds of thousands of bodies laying all over fields. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen, and it should have never been allowed to happen. Biden should have been able to stop it.

[Glenn Beck]

Amen. He's absolutely right. And when this is over and the body count is actually revealed, and when you see. And when you see Blackrock there rebuilding, when you see all of these friends of the Biden rebuilding, when you see Blackrock owning the farmland, then maybe we'll start to have some idea of how grotesque this really was. All right, More in just a second.

[Glenn Beck]

So let's go to ChatGPT and just see what it says about about the 14th amendment and that particular phrase between commas and I will say.

[Stu Burguiere]

Our robot betters seem to have summarized this the same way that I understood it. Okay, so historically, the consensus among most legal scholars and historical practices has been the phrase excludes only a few categories. This is the phrase of not subject to the jurisdiction in the United States. Those categories are children of foreign diplomats, enemy soldiers, and some Native American tribes who maintain their tribal jurisdiction jurisdiction Legal precedent has largely supported the view that children born in the US to foreign citizens are indeed US Citizens regardless of the immigration status of the parents. Then, some conservatives argue subject to the jurisdiction thereof excludes individuals who are in the country illegally, as they are not legally subject to the U.S. jurisdiction in the same way as lawful residents or citizens. They claim that because illegal immigrants have not entered the country and remained in it legally that they or their children should not automatically receive citizenship. That is my understanding of the debate. And again, you can say you disagree with the conservative side of that debate. Many do. But to actually skip the phrase that is important to the debate when talking to the man who's arguing the conservative side of that debate is journalism malpractice at the very least. And I think it's intentional. I believe that it is intentional, but I don't know.

[Glenn Beck]

Wait, I think it's NBC.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's not intentional.

[Glenn Beck]

It's NBC.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's just what we are.

[Glenn Beck]

It's just what they do. Yes, of course it is.

[Stu Burguiere]

And that's again, like it goes back to our original conversation as opposed to whether you go and meet the press or not. Do you need to go to a place that's intentionally doing things like that? I mean, that is, that is inexcusable for the one phrase that's important to the debate you leave out of the amendment. I mean, it's obviously intentional.

[Glenn Beck]

I like the fact that the president was calm, cool, collected, didn't name call, went through. That whole thing wasn't a fair interview. It was exactly what you would expect. But at least he went and talked to the other side.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I think, I think it's worth doing to talk to the other side. I think it's worth doing adversarial interviews. I just wish he'd had a little honesty, I guess. Like I felt, I feel like when you went back on the show with Russert.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's what you got.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

It wasn't an interview liked. A lot of times he took things, I think, and took the Democratic side a little unfairly, but he wouldn't eliminate the part of the amendment that is the debate.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

He would not have done that.

[Glenn Beck]

No. And he would give you a. There were times that Russert, you'd be pissed off at him because it was your guy, but you'd also be cheering for the other side because he was fair. He was even handed back all that really, we ask for. So New Year's is coming up pretty soon and you're definitely going to stick to that resolution to eat healthier. Right? Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank God.

[Stu Burguiere]

Thank God there's some justice now.

[Glenn Beck]

What's weird is first of all, the judge I think broke the law. I think the judge and what's his name, the district attorney up there in New York, really they should be disbarred. What they did in this particular case was wrong. When you have multiple counts and you're hung on the first count, you don't go to the second count, you declare a mistrial. But the judge because of. Is it Alvin Bragg?

[Stu Burguiere]

He's the da.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, the da Alvin Bragg went and said, hey, we will accept that they're hung on that. Just have him consider the lesser charge. Well, that's not the way it works. You don't do that. And he was just trying to get them to convict. And somehow or another they went back today with very little time and found him 120 not guilty. Which is weird that they were hung.

[Stu Burguiere]

On the serious charge.

[Glenn Beck]

On the more serious charge. And then somebody just, I think it's like, guys, it's Christmas, I've got to go shopping. Just. All right, whatever. I mean honestly, it might have been that. I don't know why on the lesser charge they didn't have a hard time.

[Stu Burguiere]

Someone was sharing one of the courtroom drawings of the jury.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

And one of the people was wearing a mask and they were saying this has to be the person who's holding this up. It kind of does make sense. I don't know if it's actually accurate.

[Glenn Beck]

Either that it was the guy who shot the United Healthcare guy.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

What a Great place to hide out. Hiding in the jury box.

[Stu Burguiere]

A fascinating thing, you know, not exactly a banner year for Alvin Bragg. No, he's had a rough one. No, he's really an embarrassment in every spot.

[Glenn Beck]

I honestly don't know why he has. Why he's not being recalled. I mean, other than it's New York.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. But even in California, they've been recalling these guys.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, they've been defeating them in elections. And, you know, this approach of we only go after the good guys and let all the bad guys go is not an approach I think the American people are comfortable with. No, that's something. I think it's a message.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't even know how the Good Samaritan law just didn't apply to him. He obviously was not trying to kill the guy.

[Stu Burguiere]

Obviously. And they knew that. You could see it in the interview afterward.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. So how does. How did the Good Samaritan law not apply?

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, I don't. What version of New York has of that law, precisely. I mean, they.

[Glenn Beck]

And obviously, I think, oh, it's probably Good Samaritan law. If you're a Good Samaritan and you're trying to cause harm, but it's on a white person.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. I would not be surprised. If that's exactly how it's written and.

[Glenn Beck]

You are somebody who is in any of the other categories, then it's.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's how it's applied.

[Glenn Beck]

That is how it's. It's applied.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. And so there's.

[Glenn Beck]

By the way, the threats are being issued now after the jury finds him guilty and activists. Not guilty, huh?

[Stu Burguiere]

Not guilty.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Not guilty. And they are also. Activists are in the streets of New York right now protesting that he wasn't.

[Stu Burguiere]

Very difficult to even understand because some of the people who he was protecting on the subway were people of color, if you will.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. There wasn't. I don't think there was anyone on the subway that wasn't happy about it, too.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

They were all. Everybody in the car were like, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Stu Burguiere]

They might not have been happy that he died. And I don't think anyone was, including Daniel Penny.

[Randy Clark]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Like.

[Stu Burguiere]

But they saw this as a clear, legitimate threat to their wellbeing. As they clarified in their testimony, it was not yet another one of these crazy people on the subway. If you've been in New York City. And this is a weird. I think it's a weird experience for anyone who's never lived there or worked there as we have. But it's Very much a normal part of your life to go on the subway and have a crazy person get on the subway and do something crazy while you're on the subway in an enclosed metal tube. It is a weird experience. And you get really used to kind of looking at your shoes and looking the other way and acting like this thing. That would have been the story you told your friends every single day. If you live in any other city, you just ignore it and act like it's not happening.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm trying to remember the comedian that has a special happy face. He's so funny and he, he talks about just getting on the subway in New York just trying not to get high on crack. He's like, somebody comes in, into the subway and they're smoking crack. And then somebody will be, hey, you can't do that in here. Like, like the guy cares. Oh my gosh. Right? This is so unlike me. I'm sorry, there's, oh, there's a child here. I'm so embarrassed. And you just try not to get high on crack.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right? It always, remember, it always reminded me of, of how gun free zones were really stupid and that like the people who are coming to murder don't care about the gun free zones, but the people who are coming to smoke crack on the subway don't care about your subway crack laws.

[Glenn Beck]

They don't care.

[Stu Burguiere]

They don't care.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

And so the people who were actually testifying in the trial made clear distinctions between that normal part of New York life of someone coming on the subway and acting a little crazy and maybe a little threatened. Threatening and what this guy was doing, Neely was doing. They said they really believed they were in danger and I think that was the correct assumption. He was saying he didn't care what the, you know, if he went to prison for life, he was going to kill people. He was threatening them directly. The fact that Daniel Penney stopped that or God forbid, whatever it could have become from happening, means he should be treated as a hero, not as someone who's on trial. And the fact that this came out right is, is a good conciliatory prize, but not the right outcome.

[Glenn Beck]

Was it Bernie Getz who was the one that shot the guy on the subway?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, Bernie Getz was one of them.

[Glenn Beck]

Bernie Getz. What did, what happened to him?

[Stu Burguiere]

Did he, was he, he got off too, didn't he?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

If I remember correctly.

[Glenn Beck]

Weird that it's the same kind of out of control city where somebody is just, you know, everybody knows they're afraid on the subway Everybody knows crime is every everywhere and nobody does anything. And Bernard Goetz took a gun on the subway, shot a guy out of control, went through the same thing and was found innocent, I believe.

[Stu Burguiere]

And it was, it was, you know, more, I would say, more controversial than.

[Glenn Beck]

This one because he was carrying a gun.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. And he was actually, he was, if I remember right, convicted of carrying an illegal firearm. Firearm he was not supposed to have without a permit. But that's all he, that's all he got in this case. This is quite clear and it's disturbing the way that he was interviewed. He was interviewed as if the police were his friend and they were trying to suss all this out in a positive way. I didn't like that at all.

[Glenn Beck]

You said a couple of things that stuck with me a couple of weeks ago. You said, I finally get the police are not your friends. Don't talk to the police without your attorney.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I've always been like, I don't know, I've always had great interactions with police and I think that's still the norm.

[Glenn Beck]

It is. But you don't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

You don't know. And you know, kept popping in my head is Jeffy, Jeff Fisher, host of a podcast here on the Blaze Podcast Network. And he always says this. He carries a card with him that gives you the outline of don't talk to the police, they're not your friends. He has a whole little six step plan. If you ever are talked to.

[Glenn Beck]

Is it written in crayon?

[Stu Burguiere]

No, no, it's not his writing. It's something else's card. But he just has so much legal trouble that I think he has to have it with him at all times. But I remember him showing that to me at one point and being like, all right, in most interactions, it's totally fine to talk to police. After watching that with Penny, I was like, gosh, if you do something right, if God forbid, you have to use your second amendment rights in personal defense. I wouldn't say word one to the police. Not because I don't think the police are trustworthy. I think they are, but there's a system around it and frankly, you can't trust anybody. And there's a system around it that will churn that into a, you know, something where you are a racist or you are. I don't know what they're going to say about you. And the best thing is just zip it.

[Glenn Beck]

If the government wants to get you, they will get you. Yeah, they will get you.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think that's true.

[Glenn Beck]

They have, they hold all of the cards.

[Stu Burguiere]

Especially in a place like New York.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh my gosh.

[Stu Burguiere]

Especially I. If you're conservative living in New York. It's, it's. I, I don't know how you do it.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't, I don't know why you do it. Honestly.

[Stu Burguiere]

You did it. I did it years ago, but you did it. I mean, I don't think things were nearly as bad when you were there. I don't think they were great.

[Glenn Beck]

You remember the process of trying to get a gun? My life was at stake, you know, all the time. Had all kind. I've had six security guys with me, you know, in rotation all the time. Sometimes all six of them. And couldn't get a. Couldn't get a. No, no. The judge just didn't think that it was necessary that my threats were credible. It's like, here's. You remember the end of Miracle on 34th Street? I want that proof on my desk. And they came in with all the bags of letters to Santa Claus. That's kind of like the way I felt like, oh, I can bring you the proof. What are you talking about? It's insane.

[Stu Burguiere]

Let me give you another movie that tells the same story. It's a United Healthcare CEO walking to work.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You think you don't need some protection in that city? This poor guy just walking to work with a wife and two kids just gets executed in the streets. And most of the city seems to be cheering on the murderer. And in a world like that, you don't need protection in that city. Of course you do. There's a great. I think it's like a. It's like a flowchart in one of your books. I can't remember which one it was. It might have been arguing with idiots.

[Glenn Beck]

Or it's one of the earlier ones for the guns.

[Stu Burguiere]

It was for the guns of how to buy a gun in New York.

[Glenn Beck]

It was, I want to say it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Was arguing with idiots, but it was one of inconvenient book. Maybe, I don't remember.

[Glenn Beck]

I think it was inconvenient book.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, but there. Oh, you have one of them here. So you flip through it. But there is, if there's a gun chapter probably is in there, but there is a flow chart of how to get one in New York. And it was actually a person who was writing, Kevin, who was co author of the book, who actually tried to do it and went through the entire process. It is insanity. Insanity. I mean it's step after step after step after step. It's submitting Paperwork, it's going back, it's resubmitting it over and over and over again. And it's like to the point where they know actually in reality what you're doing. They know they're on the. They should approve it, but they do everything they can to deny it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's similar to what they're accusing healthcare companies of, you know, where they do everything.

[Glenn Beck]

It's exactly the same. They just wear you out.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, they wear you out.

[Glenn Beck]

They just. In years until you're just like, okay, I don't. Okay, I can't. I mean, who can do that? Who can do that?

[Stu Burguiere]

I will say this is not a paid commercial. Good time to think about a Burna launcher.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because that is legal in all 50 states. Again, check your local laws just to be sure. Triple sure. I know it's legal in states, but. But then I don't know if cities have. Be sure, be careful, make sure you check. But I mean, that is exactly the type of, you know, this thing that. The burner launchers.

[Glenn Beck]

This is something that I don't understand. And again, not a commercial. I don't understand why those aren't in every schools. In every school in America. Why aren't those in schools?

[Stu Burguiere]

They're non. Lethal.

[Glenn Beck]

Non lethal. So you're not going to kill any of the children. You might make some of them cry with tear gas. You, you don't even have to be a good shot. You can just be near. You could put your hand just outside the door and aim it down the hallway way towards the guy who's shooting. And if you're within six feet, it's going to stop him. It's going to put him in tear gas and give everybody a chance to pile on that guy. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I just, I don't understand it.

[Glenn Beck]

You're not going to kill any children. Why wouldn't. It's almost as if somebody doesn't want to solve this because that's the. That is the solution is a burn a lot.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's at least. Yeah. A great part of it at the very least. And, and it, you know, it's available, it's affordable.

[Glenn Beck]

If you're on a school board, you should suggest that. Anyway, let me tell you about a commercial. And this is Tunnel to Towers. We think of this as one of the best, most joyous times of the year.

Wow, that is crazy. Bill Clinton, 10% negative, 27% positive. The rest of them are like 12 and 13. George W. Bush is 12 negative. He's just, you know, plus one. Jimmy Carter is zero.

[Stu Burguiere]

Carter's a little too high on that.

[Glenn Beck]

List for my two. Mine too.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's got to be behind George H.W.

[Glenn Beck]

Bush.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't care. I mean, that's not even close.

[Glenn Beck]

But the only one besides Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama that had over 30% likability was Donald Trump, 45% negative, 30% positive. That's going to change.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I think that is changing.

[Glenn Beck]

Nixon, 34% negative. Joe Biden 44% negative.

[Jim Desmond]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

Only 14% positive. The Glenn Beck program.
