Sheriff WARNS of MASSIVE national security threats to America

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Yeah. So, Sheriff, you're in your fifth term in office as sheriff of Butler County.

And you went to Washington, DC, along with the National Sheriff's Association.

And you usually, if I'm not mistaken, don't you usually meet with the president?

RICHARD: The president refuses to meet with the national sheriffs for three years.

We have a hierarchy of president. There's 3300 sheriffs in the United States. And he refuses to meet for the past three years. Our association, that represents 3300 sheriffs.

Get this.

He won't meet with the police chiefs either. None.

And we had our meeting and training. Director met with a group of sheriffs.

Then the sheriffs came back and discussed with us, what he said.

And he said, the director of the FBI said the same thing to Congress. So the week before that, he said that there's more red flags going off now.

Before -- than before 9/11.

And there was only like 12 or 14 people, that attacked us then.

There's over 10 million people here.

These are people that are wanting to do us harm. This is what we were told.

More red flags were going off now.

The director also said that Chinese are attacking our infrastructure, such as our electrical grid. That goes out, when the weather is bad.

But it was built in the 1960s. They're trying to get into our phone system. Our electrical system. They're trying to hack communications, on everything.

They're trying to -- our sheriff's office is the eighth largest in Ohio.

Of 88, 400,000 population. 500 employees.

We dispatched for probably 20 different agencies. And our system was hacked by the Ukrainians.

Before they were sort of our friend.

But listen, they hacked our system, and wanted a ran some.

Now -- and we were down for three months. And you were wondering, why would they attack us?

They were attacking everybody.

And anybody that is listening to this, your communications, universities, your water. Your sewer. Your election process.

They're -- we get five times a day, to Chinese. They try to get us. And three times a day.

GLENN: In butler county.

GLENN: Yes. And three times a day, the Iranians.

And then there's others.

They try to get into your system. They want ran some.

And if you listen to what director where a said to Congress and to other people in the country.

But sometimes people don't listen.

He said, for every one person that works at the FBI, that is in charged in cyber, the Chinese have 50.

So it's 50 to one.

We have one person, they have 50, to every one that we have.

And they're -- the reasoning for this, is because disruption in America. If they go in. They want us to be busy. Which we are, fighting two wars.

Or involved in two wars.

Supplying all of our equipment, all of our guns, all of our treasure.

And these people don't like us already. And we are killing them on our land, they feel they're causing it.

We have 10 million people here in the United States, that we don't know who the hell they are, or where they're at.

And, again, we've had 20,000 Chinese military age adults come to the United States.

Just in California. Twenty thousand. So far, this year.

And there was like 300 in one day.

In California. That's just one sector.

GLENN: Yeah.

RICHARD: The Russians are coming. They're coming.

GLENN: Yeah.

RICHARD: And they're destroying our country. The Chinese are shipping the fentanyl to Mexico. They're shipping it this.

Now we have a northern border in Ohio, okay? Glenn.

And they pulled a lot of the personnel there to send them to the southern border. So now we have more drugs coming in from Canada. And to the United States, which Ohio parts with. And Michigan.

And the drugs are coming in. The people are coming in.

And I wanted people to know, we're going to start training my personnel. And we're going to train the civilians. Thirty people isn't much. But we are going to train them what to do. How do we get out of a building that is collapsed.

How do you get out of that building?

We're trying to tell people. And this is a university. We had it filled up, within 30 minutes.

Everybody -- I'm in sheriff's training today. And other sheriff's agencies are getting phone calls, what can they do?

Now, I don't think on doomsday Jones and Chicken Little.

And I tell people, you can do what the Israelis have done. They have a real strict gun policy in their country. You're not allowed to have guns unless you're in the military or police.

The police are the only people that saved that country, what we are told. They were killed, they were murdered. One police station, the terrorist came in and killed 30 people. Thirty police.

The policemen only had handguns. They didn't have enough ammunition.

And the same people, that came in there, are the same people, that appear in our country.

And when they say 10 million people are here. Go ahead, Glenn.

GLENN: Well, I was going to say, not all 10 million. But it only take 19 to do the World Trade Center. And in Canada, it was just announced, that they are now going to take refugees, from Gaza.

Without any litmus test on anything.

Well, our northern border is wide open.

And, you know, I -- I don't think that you're preaching fear.

I mean, people might be afraid of this. But you should be informed so you understand, what we're facing.

You'll understand what we're facing. And then perhaps you'll take action in your own community.

I mean, I know here, where I live.

We have been talking about, what do we do, if there's a food shortage? What do we do if there's problems?

How is the community going to come together?

You need to do this. Because if -- if they just -- forget about the 10 million people that are here.

Which I agree with you, is a massive threat.

But if they just hack into our water systems. If they hack into our communications, you don't have communications in America for a week. A week and a half.

What do you think is going to happen?

You have 72 hours before society starts to break down.

Because in 72 hours, the bad guys realize, wow. Nobody is coming.

And they take charge. It's not good.

RICHARD: Look, the police is all we have. Your local police. And look, the National Guard is not coming. The military is not coming.

If people think, well, the military, the National Guard, they won't let this happen. They're not coming.

You're on your own. Imagine people that are listening right now, when you lose your cell phone, and you can't find it for an hour, you puke. You freak out.

These people -- and seriously, you. Oh.

I mean, we live on them.

And people -- imagine when you can't communicate.

I've been in places, Katrina. Where there was no electricity, due to a national disaster.

And when you don't have electricity, you can't pump water. You can't pump gas.

You can't go to the bank. Because the bank computers are all down. You can't go to the store. People freak out. Because you have enough groceries.

You go to the store once a week. Listen, it's -- it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

And I'm not teaching doomsday or Chicken Little. These people are here, the lady that went to the church, Osteen's church, she targeted that church. What I've seen on the interviews, she had Palestine wrote on the rifle, and she targeted the church.

She took her child there, I assume, so they wouldn't shoot her, but they had no choice. Because there had been -- she was going for a bigger target.

And this is one person. And we know it's coming, Glenn.

And it's here.

These people, the Chinese are so good at this.

They have, actually, police stations within the United States.

The Chinese, they have safe houses. They have safe houses. Every state.

And if you live in a rural setting. You say, hey. I'm okay.

You won't be okay.

Because what you're trying to do, we were told, we should all look at our local elections.

They want to get into the heartland. Because everybody -- they know that will create chaos. If you can get into New York. Ask. All. They expect that.

And when it happens, it doesn't shock them, after 9/11.

But to get into a rural America, different story.

And that will send a shock wave.

And again, I will train my people. They will have rifles in every car. Which they do now.

They will have multiple magazines. And we will train differently, and I've got people calling from all over the country. This is -- we have had 14 million views on this. We bid on your show, two days in a row. You talked about it.

And I'm just one sheriff of 3300. And we're all -- we all know this.

But when you stick your neck out like this, people attack you.

Everything that I have said, director of the FBI, has said to Congress, none of this is a secret.

And he is saying -- and if you look at the tape of him talking to Congress. He said the exact same thing.

And the reason is, because they -- during 9/11. The FBI knew these people were here training. But the rest of us know.

No locals knew. They communicate now. And it's all on us. And you have to do something about it.

And what you have to do, when you're in the church, you have to look out.

Because for some reason, people attack these churches.

And then we got our homegrown terrorists.

So we're in a bad spot.

And, again, 10 million people, they're not all here to do us harm. But these Chinese, hey.

And I could go on, Glenn.

GLENN: Yeah.

So let me -- let me take a quick break with you.

And I want you to tell the other sheriffs, that might be listening, what you're doing in particular, because it's my understanding, you want the citizenry, to understand, they are the first responders.

We'll go there in 60 seconds.
(music)

STU: Ah, yes.

The world's greatest love stories. Part six. Because I apparently --

GLENN: Oh, wow.

STU: Myself. Yeah.

GLENN: Now, if we're going to talk about the greatest love stories out there in the world today.

The conversation wouldn't be complete without bringing up Harry and Megan. We're all enormous fans, and we hope to be covering every news story about them every single day.

But there's no way, that Megan isn't using serious, really good skin care products. Because you can't hide lizard skin, like that. Allegedly.

Allegedly. Whatever she's using. You should be using the new Gen 90 from Genucel. It's their latest breakthrough in amazing skincare products.

Take advantage of the Gen 90, Valentine's Day sale today, while you still can at Genucel.com. Where it's included in the best-seller package.

I don't know if Megan uses it or not. But whatever she uses, is working very well.

Can work for you too. You can get all those harsh medical procedures, if you like. You can do that. You can spend all the money on that. You can travel overseas.

You can do all that if you want.

But why do that, if you can get your skin looking up to snuff, with Gen 90? Honestly, a lot less -- with a lot less money and effort.

Go to Gen 90's website. It's Genucel.com/Beck. Genucel.com/Beck. Comes with free shipping. A luxury Valentine's Day spa box today. Check it out. G-E-N-U-C-E-L.com/Beck.

Ten-second station ID.
(music)
The sheriff of Butler county, Ohio. His name is Richard K. Jones.

He has recently been in Washington, the leaders of the Sheriff's Association.

Met with the head of the FBI. Christopher Wray.

He said exactly the same thing he's been saying in Congress, but nobody is paying attention to it. The press barely even listened to him.

While he is saying this. And it is not a matter of if, it's just a matter of when. We will be hit hard on the inside of America.

And part of that has to do, I think a big part of it has to do with, we don't even have any idea who is even here.

We know that people on the terrorist list, have been caught. Like 300, I think. Have been caught, trying to.

How many have we missed?

And how many are already here?

And that's -- as he said, even our own homegrown bad guys.

We are in a very vulnerable situation, right now.

So sheriff, I've -- I've been reading what you have put out.

And I know that you have ordered AR-15 rifles, into every single cruiser. Not just a few.

More ammunition. More magazines.

You've ordered more HazMat equipment.

You're planning on expanding your Citizens on Patrol Program.

What does that mean? What is that?

RICHARD: Well, Citizens on Patrol used to be, and still is, volunteers, people would retire, they would want something to do. We would send them to a basic Citizens on Patrol Academy, a couple times a week.

Where they could work the radio, and they could be our eyes and our ears and talk to the community.

We're relooking on that. We need to add people to that. People are so busy. It was always retirees before.

We have a special group.

And we need eyes and ears.

Because this is here.

And that's what we're going to do. Listen, we're training our trainers.

We can train more people. We can't train 400,000.

But we will let people know, and we will try to get some stuff online.

Where you can sign up. Not everybody can or will.

And we want our citizenry to be aware, if you're in the building, like I said earlier. The building classes.

How do you get through the drywall and get out.

When you're in a church, and there's a shooting. How do you get out.

What do you do for safety?

Take cover, and you go lock yourself in a door, a restroom door.

Your alternatives are, you have two. One, try to get out. And the other is you have to beg for your life, if they come in.

A third is, you can have a weapon. If you're allowed to carry a weapon into that area.

Those are the three alternatives. First one is get out. The second one is if you can't, beg for your life. And the other one is, you have a weapon for your own safety.

And so we're looking at everything. We're trying to get our trainers trained. Where we can train more people.

And if anybody is looking at this. And it's not just the sheriffs in the company.

The sheriffs are hired and fired by the citizens.

The different than police chiefs.

Police chiefs are appointed. And The Bosses. The sheriffs work to the people.

And we refer to them as constitutional sheriffs. They work for the people. Their only boss is for the people.

Every time there is an election.

They're not appointed, okay?

If you don't do your job, they'll fire you you.

We're fortunate that the sheriffs did. It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat sheriff or a Republican sheriff. We're all in this together.

And we're trying to figure it out.

But the government, they were talking about drones.

We have no -- the locals have no technology.

Hell, if the terrorists, buy their drones off Amazon. And if you watch the worst that is going on, all done with drones, for the most part. And the government can only do so much.

But if you're the local government, most police departments, fire departments, have drones.

GLENN: This is -- this is the way that America was built.

Closest to you.

You are the ones responsible to your own community. Sheriff, thank you so much.

We'll talk again. Good luck.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
