Texas Official Accuses Federal Court of HELPING Cartels by Blocking Immigration Law

The courts have gone back and forth and back again on the Texas immigration law, SB4. The law gives Texas the power to secure the border and deport illegal immigrants to Mexico as the federal government fails to do so. But after the Supreme Court allowed the law to remain in effect while the Biden administration challenges it, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to stop it. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins Glenn with his reaction: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I don’t understand it. It’s bizarre.” Paxton also accuses the 5th Circuit of helping and protecting the cartels with this order.

GLENN: Ken, the attorney general from the great state of Texas. How are you, sir?

KEN: I'm doing well. Pretty crazy stuff going on right now, as usual.

GLENN: Yeah. I know. Thank you for joining us.

I know you're getting ready for your argument with the appellate court today. Can you tell me what happened?

Yesterday, the Supreme Court said, Texas can begin arresting. And I get up this morning, and the appellate court said, no. No. No.

Not so fast.

KEN: Well, this is one of the more confusing and inexplicable things I've experienced in the court. It started out with the district court with the Biden administration and a little group called the ACLU sued us saying that the floor was unconstitutional.

We didn't the right to expel anybody from the country, no matter how bad they were. So the judge, with where they filed a lawsuit, put an injunction on our law.

So it couldn't go into effect March 4th the date it was supposed to go into effect.

We appealed that. The three-judge panel ruled in our favor. We got the stay lifted.

But they put what they called an administrative stay on it, give the Supreme Court a chance to review it.

It goes up to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court says, no fine. Six-zero. It can go into effect. So we're good. We're happy. Within hours, we're notified by a new panel of the Supreme Court, Priscilla Owen, I think a Bush appointee. And then we have a liberal judge, appointed by one of the Democrats. And we had Andy Holden (phonetic) who ruled in our favor. So we lost two-one. They put another stay back in. Then they ordered us to have a -- a hearing, within less than 12 hours from finding out.

So, actually, my guy is arguing by Zoom right now, if the court in New Orleans, that three-judge panel, that really odd argument. Because they removed the stay. But they said, that's what the argument is about.

It's almost like they've already decided. They still want to us argue the case.

I don't know. I've never seen it. And I don't understand it. It's bizarre.

GLENN: Why?

Yeah. I was talking to Mike Lee today. And he said, you know, stays are usually to stay from harm. What we have going on here, is a whole lot of harm.

We have crime. We have killers. We have just -- just an invasion of our border. And it should be that the court should say. No. No. No.

Let them arrest, until they look at everything.

Instead, the harm that is being perceived, I guess, by this court. Is to the illegal alien.

MIKE: Yes, to the illegal alien, and to the Biden administration's partnership with cartels. That's the harm. We are harming the cartel relationship. And that's -- I don't know how else to put it. If the court defends this. If they block us from enforcing legitimate half law by the legislature, not by the governor.

Then they are saying, we want to protect any harm that might come to the illegal immigrants and to the Biden administration's work with the cartels. That's the reality where we're at now.

GLENN: So what is your guy arguing?

I wish we could listen in. What's he --

MIKE: He's arguing exactly what you are saying. There's no harm. Let the law stay in effect. The arguments of the case. And you let us have the opportunity to uphold and defend, a purposefully enacted law bit Texas legislature. The people.

GLENN: So when is -- when are they going to -- when is this going to be decided? I mean, I know the stay is for the trial.

I guess they would announce something within a couple of days, on the stay. What about the full case?

MIKE: I mean, they've already removed the stay. So the administrative stay of the stay.

So confusing.

Because there was a -- you know, a stay in place. Then they had the administrative stay as the stay.

That's why it was so hard to explain. What they will do, I think they will rule very quickly. Look how fast they went.

The Supreme Court gave us the victory yesterday afternoon, and by, you know, within an hour or two, the Fifth Circuit, Priscilla and others said no. You can't -- this law can't stay in effect.

We'll let the state go back into effect. The original judge put into place.

Then you have to argue it tomorrow at ten in the morning, which I've never had an argument turn around that fast, on something so insignificant. Even on something minor. That's what is so strange about this.

That's part of it. The circuit would sort of step past the Supreme Court. Well, we'll think about this going into effect.

It's despite the fact, that exactly what you said, the harm is defective. There is no harm to this. I mean, I will acknowledge harm to the cartels. I will acknowledge they are being harmed.

It's true. We are harming the cartel.

GLENN: Right. Harm to the drug industry. Harm to the fentanyl pushers.

Harm to the drug traffickers. The human traffickers.

Yeah. So, yes. Yes.

Venezuela.

MIKE: In public, in court, anywhere.
We are arming them.

GLENN: Yes.

So that was the other question. And you just touched on it.

How does a lower court usurp the Supreme Court?

MIKE: So they basically. The Supreme Court, to put it back to the fifth circuit, and said, we're not -- we're not going to -- undo the administrative state of the stay.

So they left our -- our law in place.

That the fifth circuit still has control of the case right now. Because it's back down to them.

And they can rule however they want. And they can protect if they want to protect the cartels. They can protect the cartels.

It's within their power to do that.

GLENN: Another thing that happened over night.

And this is the first thing I was worried about.

I saw this late last night.

And then I saw, oh, well, we don't have to worry about that. As much as we do. Maybe people inside our own country.

The president of Mexico said, Texas isn't going to return anybody to the border of Mexico. Or fly them into Mexico.

Which made me think of the 18,000 people that we finally got out of Afghanistan. We were thwarted by the Department of State every day, all the time. Several times a day.

We had a plane with refugees, in the air.

And we had a place to land. Another country, had already okayed it. And the State Department called and said, we can't vouch for that plane.

So I wouldn't allow it to land.

And they -- they stopped us from flying any place.

Can the -- can the governments do that? To Texas?

MIKE: It seems wrong to me.

We also have this case in the Supreme Court, this knocked out our -- being an injunction for the Fifth Circuit. To stop the 30,000 people they're flying in. Flying in! From Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela. Flying in, so 30,000 a month, are being flown in.

We're paying for it. The country is paying for this. The Biden administration is paying for this. It's completely illegal. And we had an injunction to stop it.

The Supreme Court just a week ago, got rid of our own injunction. So now the 30,000 people don't even -- we're paying for them to come to the country illegally.

I can't make this stuff up.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't know.

I'm trying to figure out the distinction between injunction and a stay, what the difference is there, but.

MIKE: I'm sorry. It's language that they use.

But basically, we had a junction stopping the Biden administration from importing 30,000 people a month from those four countries. The four I mentioned. And the Supreme Court, six to three, said no. The injunction goes away. Go back and litigate this case.

Here we are, we now have 30,000 people a month. And we can't stop it. So it will take -- who knows how long? Every month, 30 thousands of individuals more. We're paying for this. Are going all over the country, from those four countries I've mentioned. And on top of that. Now Texas has an injunction, stopping us from enforcing our own laws. Protecting our state from illegal immigration.

It's very frustrating.

It seems like, even when we get rulings that allow us to go back to court. There are the rulings that allow it to take years. And so you will buy another 300,000 people fly across the border. They won't even go to the Border Patrol anymore. They just fly in.

GLENN: Ken, I am sure you know this. Because you live in Texas as well.

You know, there's an old saying, don't mess with Texas.

And, you know, fortunately, or unfortunately, whichever way you want to look at it, a lot of Texans mean that.

And a lot of Texans are seeing this as an invasion. And they're seeing this out of control government. You know, doing exactly what you just said.

And destroying us. Intentionally poisoning us.

And there's a lot of Texans that I think are, you know, kind of up to here. How do we -- how do we diffuse this, this back and forth?

How do we diffuse it, just so it doesn't get to a boiling point. That you can't turn down.

Look, all we can do. I have lawyers. People all the time say, why don't you do more?

The legislature gives me lawyers. They don't give me anything else. I go where I can fight.

I think eventually, if you have such disdain -- if the federal government has such disdain for the law and the Constitution, then eventually the people have a right to say, no, we're not putting up with this anymore.

And the Declaration of Independence, is clear on that. These rights are inalienable. They're from God. They're not from Joe Biden and not from Donald Trump. They are inalienable.

And we have a right to those rights. And eventually, the people have to find a way to overcome that. And what that is, I don't know.

Hopefully, the next election will speak to that.

And those rights will start being honored as fundamental rights to human beings.

GLENN: That is one of the most amazing statements I think I've ever heard from a government official.

I -- I hope we -- I hope the next election with you, I hope the next election solves these things.

Because we're in constitutional crisis, after constitutional crisis.

And it's got to stop.

KEN: We are on our way. And if we're not there now. We don't have a constitutional republic. If the rule of law, the Constitution can be put aside, set aside, and flip to mean anything, that a few justices think it means.

And they can dishonor fundamental rights, that were guaranteed in our Constitution, then now we're back to the Declaration of Independence. And that is a big place to be. As you know.

GLENN: Yeah. Ken Paxton.

God bless you. Thank you. We'll pray for your win today.

God bless. The attorney general of the great state of Texas.

Why do I feel like history, we just lived history.

Glenn Beck’s LIVE Reaction to Donald Trump’s Second Inaugural Address

President Donald Trump’s second inaugural address let the world know that America is back. Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and fellow BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey give their live reactions to the speech. Trump acknowledged God, proclaimed the day as “Liberation Day” for many Americans, and used “revolution language,” or as Trump put it, “a revolution of common sense.” Trump announced that the US Government will only recognize 2 genders and that he will open America up for drilling, rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, restore the name of Mt. McKinley, stop China from controlling the Panama Canal, and end wars. But Glenn also reveals the one thing Trump said that “disturbed” him because he’s never heard a president say it in his lifetime.

Will Donald Trump Usher In a New Golden Era of America?

On his final full broadcast of the Biden era, Glenn takes a look at what’s coming to an end when Trump takes office on Monday, January 20th, and what’s hopefully coming next. This is the end of an era of lies and destruction, of pure madness and unquestioning obedience to the so-called “experts.” It’s the beginning of the end of diversity being twisted into a weapon. Trump has a long road ahead of him, but he has the opportunity to renew America and start a new Golden Era.

STU: Three days, Glenn! Three days!

GLENN: Until the fundamental transformation of America.

STU: Yeah. No more of this guy. No more of her. No more of them.

GLENN: You know, but I think it's a lot bigger than that.

I was thinking about this today when I was driving in. That this administration exiting. Is not just another exit of a president. It's not the same. And it -- it wasn't like this in 16.

Although, we hoped it would be.

But it is this time.

Because the people and the feeling in the country, even among Democrats, is different now. We're about to turn the page. And enter a new era, or a new chapter.

We're really standing on the edge.

Monday is a moment far larger than politics. But it's only the beginning. It's not just the end of a presidency. Not the changing of the guard. It is truly the end of an era. An era marked by madness, by confusion. By division. Distortion. Deafening cacophony of chaos.

All of that has drowned out reason and common sense. And it -- you know, it didn't -- it didn't start yesterday.

As much as the left tried to make this all about words.

By twisting meaning. Redefining words.

Or using words, quite honestly, to use their words. In mis, dis, or malinformation.

This era is not going to be remembered by the words, but by the actions of those who spoke, the millions of those meaningless words. We can see right now the destruction of our economy. Our security.

The -- and really, really clear terms, in the homes and the hearts of California. That it is the action of people that matter more than simple words.

By their -- by their fruits, ye shall know them. The fruit of this tree is rotted, and people now are beginning to see that.

Now, like I said, this didn't begin four years ago. It turned it up to volume number ten, but this has been brewing for decades. It has been in our institutions, far longer than any of us realized.

Metastasizing in our culture, our institutions, and our hearts. And hardening our hearts.

It is an era that we leave on Monday, that put truth itself on trial. Can you even define what truth is, anymore?

We -- we went into this place, that was so absurd, we couldn't define something as fundamental and self-evident as, can you tell me what a woman is?

Historians are going to look back on this last era that we're now leaving, as pure madness.

But it's also a time, when it took everything in people, to question the powerful mob.

To speak the truth, that you believe. It was a -- it was a risk that at first, far too many people wouldn't do. Because they were afraid of being shouted down.

Cancelled.

Or much, much worse.

Common decency. The once unspoken bond that united us, was thrown out the window.

It became not only unfashionable. But absolutely unrecognizable.

And everybody was at each other's throats. Common sense. Our old friend, just dismissed. Exiled seemingly to the fringes of our society.

As if it were dangerous now. Or just wildly outdated. And we know that happen. We didn't know that yesterday. But we know that today.

And I mean, literally yesterday. How many words changed. How many things. Concepts. Huge truths that we knew.

We wake up one day, and it was completely being dismissed.

And we would be like, where did this come from?

We're leaving a time of breathtaking hypocrisy. Where those who deny corruption themselves take bribes from hostile nations, where the righteous call for unity, while sowing division.

This era, racism has been repackaged and sown back to us under the guise of antiracism.

Hatred, we're told me, is perfectly fine, as long as it's aimed at the right people.

And those right people, may be the wrong people, tomorrow!

Faith in God, has been replaced by faith in climate models. Sexuality. Identity.

In this last era they can't be we're now getting ready to leave. All of those religions had their own dog has. Their high priests. Their rituals. And above all, their lack of forgiveness.

Meaning, that they were anti-Christ. Teachings.

But somehow or another. Many of our churches embraced them, as the message of Christ.

There cannot be Christ in any message, that doesn't include forgiveness.

But this isn't where the story ends. We thought before this election, this might be where our story ends.

But here is the really unbelievable news.

God stepped in.

And if you don't recognize that, there is no hope for us.

God stepped in and did something none of us could do.

First of all, he saved the president's life twice. And if you think that was a Secret Service. You're nuts!

God saved him, twice!

God changed him.

And suddenly our society is waking up. This guy, who is not our savior, won!

And people started flocking to him, and willing to take bold stands and say, you know what, all this crap. It's wrong!

So this is not the end of an era, alone. It's the beginning of the end of that era. The end of unreasonable hatred of others. Not because they look different.

Simply because they voted differently.

They didn't think differently.

You know, there was nothing about actual diversity.

It was all about voting!

It's the end of unquestioning obedience to the so-called media. And experts, who demand that we followed them, without question, into the slaughterhouse. Hoping, I guess.

Hoping against hope, many of us, that if we would just comply, our turn on the chopping block would never come.

It's the end of the era of, my body, my choice.

In everything -- in everything else, other than killing your baby. You can kill your baby, my body my choice.

Well, it's not your body that's being killed. It's the baby's body.

Makes no sense. But, boy, oh, boy.

Not with masks. Not with vaccines.

Not with the basic right to just use your legs and leave your home!

It's the end of an era where we have to ask ourself, whose side is this government on?

Who is actually running this thing?

What is the actual plan that our leaders have? How -- how is this helping the average American?

Who is actually the president?

That ends on Monday. It's the beginning of the end. There's a lot of work to do.

But it's the beginning of the end of diversity, twisted into a weapon. Where diversity of thought, values, and spirit, were just disregarded. Replaced by a narrow, suffocating dogma, that demanded conformity in all ways. Even if you were conforming yesterday, and then somehow or another, through the ether, the mob decided what was true yesterday. Is no longer true today.

The mob would get you!

On anything you disagreed with. It's the end of the era where dissent was met not with debate. But with just now, meaningless labels. Racist.

Fascist. Bigot.

I think it's really important, that all of us recognize, this is not about Democrats. There are a lot of Democrats that actually woke up. It's not about Democrats.

It's not about Republicans. I think both of them stink, quite honestly.

I do, and that's the message of this new administration. And you see it with diversity of people, that are actually in this administration. We don't agree in lockstep on everything.

Far from it! The establishment in the Democrats and the Republicans do. But this isn't about Democrat, Republicans, liberals, conservative, independent.

This is truly about something much, much deeper that begins Monday.

It's older and far more grander than a political party. It is truly about the rebirth or the rediscovering of what it truly means to be free!

Monday marks the rebirth of something absolutely extraordinary!

Things we used to find self-evident. The freedoms guaranteed just in our First Amendment. The freedom to question our government.

They work for us!

We don't work for them!

The freedom to speak our mind! Even the most unpleasant and disruptive things. You are allowed to say! The freedom to worship. To live out your beliefs. To be who you are, without demanding that others speak, affirm, or even accept your truth.

You know, the one thing that we have forgotten in this last era, that I hope we are remembering. Is that this nation weren't built by people who all walked in lockstep.

They didn't agree on everything.

In fact, far from it. It was built by people who often vehemently disagreed on the path forward.

But they shared the common commitment to respecting each other's rights, and fulfilling their own responsibilities.

It was built on the idea, that disagreement, when handled with humility and respect, makes us stronger, not weaker!

Diversity of thought is important.

Diversity of skin color doesn't matter.

And so as we say farewell to an era of absolute chaos, it's really important that we don't say goodbye in anger or bitterness. And that is hard!

We can't alienate our neighbors, our assume the worst of those who see the world differently, if we agree on the rebirth of the Bill of Rights, and each responsibility that is tied to those rights.

Monday, I hope we recognize, that this is an end of an era this weekend. And Monday is an invitation to rebuild. To restore. To renew.

An era, a golden era. An era that is dawning. Just in front of all of us.

And it belongs to all of us. Not just those who won an election. Or share my view.

Or your view.

It's an era that can only succeed if we remember the lessons of the past. And commit to something better.

To restore hope. Not just in our institutions. But in each other.

Renew our faith. Not just in God.

Though, that's vital. But also in the idea that people, flawed, though they are, can be capable of incredible good. Seek restoration, not just of our economy and our government, but of our hearts, of our communities, of our families. Our shared understanding of what it means to be human.

And to be free! This weekend, I want you to bid farewell to all of the chaos. It's the beginning of the end.

There will be more chaos as we go. But as we lay it down, leave it behind.

Walk forward.

Leave your fear behind.

Walk in encourage. Not in hatred. But in love.

Because the truth is, this country has faced darker days than these.

I didn't think we would make it here, gang!

But every time this country seems to find the light just at the end. And we found it. But it's just flickering, still so fragile in mighty gusts of wind. But what will happen is not because of a president or Congress or a court. It will all happen because of you! So don't wait for anybody else. Lead the way.

Be the one who chooses faith over fear. Courage over conformity. Love over hatred.

Let's be the ones who our words are meaningless. But our actions speaks volumes. The that one shows the world, that freedom actually works. Not because it's easy. But because it is right!

Biden's Farewell Address, Rewritten by Glenn Beck

President Biden’s farewell address was filled with all sorts of irony. Perhaps most shocking was his warning that an “oligarchy” of power-hungry elites “literally threatens our entire democracy.” Surely, he isn’t talking about the progressive elites, right?! Glenn decided to rewrite Biden’s farewell address to better reflect the reality of his administration’s legacy. No joke!

GLENN: All right. So Joe Biden. And I know this is all going to come as new news for you, Stu.

Because I'm not going to lie. It came to me as new news this morning.

When I read it in the show prep.

This is not something, I would even care about. From this president.

But I think it's important just to notice how he's leaving office.

And there's a couple of things. One, have you ever seen a president who nobody gives a flying crap about more than this one?

STU: I don't think so. I mean, have I?

No. Has it ever occurred in American history is more the question.

GLENN: Right. It could be like John Tyler, or Taylor.

I don't even know.

STU: Tyler. That was the one I didn't even know existed. John Taylor, I think was the basis for Duran Duran. John Tyler, former president.

GLENN: Okay. Right. So former -- so I care about what's happening in this administration, just a little bit more than John Tyler!

STU: Or John Taylor. Right.

GLENN: Or John Taylor. Either.

I mean, I care a little bit more about John Taylor. He had some great songs.

STU: He had some great songs.

GLENN: So, I mean, I just don't care.

The only reason I do care. Is because what is he doing today, to destroy our country?

STU: Yeah. We've been doing this series of Biden's parting shots on our show.

Stu Does America, by the way. Blaze TV.

And there's a lot.

You could say, he's not doing anything. Because you think he's incoherent. And falling asleep on the job.

GLENN: No. He's not doing anything.

STU: It very well may be true. It also doesn't matter. He's doing a lot to the country here, as he walks out the door.

It does not seem that anyone seems to care.

GLENN: There was another 500 billion-dollar forgiveness of loans, yesterday.

STU: Not that much.

GLENN: How much was it?

STU: He did 150,000 people. And then another 200,000 people. I believe over the past few days.

GLENN: A lot of money and a lot of people.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: And this one he's saying, because the university scammed them.

Oh, Lord.

Okay and -- yes?

STU: I think that's just -- amazing. You go through a legal proceeding. That's how they get their money back.

They don't get the money back. We don't have to take that on as a country. And again, none of this is legal. None of this is constitutional.

Most of this will be overturned after he's out of office. Most of these poor people who believe they no longer have these loans, will wind up having these loans.

GLENN: Right, but they're still going. They're still going. They're filing all kinds of suits in court, and you're like, that's not going to stand in court. They're not going to pursue that.

It's just -- okay. Well, then stop it. Spend the time to stop it. That's what he's doing. He's just lighting little brushfires everywhere.

Thank goodness, Donald Trump is not California.

He'll put them out quickly, I think.

Now, the -- Biden gave a speech, and I -- I just rewrote it.

I'm sorry. I rewrote the speech.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Because I said everything that he said, but I added a little bit of the truth.

Okay?

So let me give you what he said, last night.

First, do we have the -- the Hail to the Chief?

Or something that makes it sound official? Because it was very official.

It was in the White House. I'm not kidding.

He was sitting on a pillow last night.

Yeah. No. Real one. And just go ahead. So he's -- and now a message from the president of the United States.

My fellow Americans, folks, I'm serious. This is it.

This is my last address as your president.

No joke!

I've been in public service. For 50 years, now.

Maybe more.

I've seen a lot in my time.

But I've got to tell you, still believe in America.

Well, there's some things that we need to talk about. Things that really worry me.

I'm not kidding.

This is serious stuff.

First of all, the oligarchy thing.

Yeah. It's bad!

Folks, we've got billionaires and corporations running the shows right now, and it's dangerous. Come on. We can't have people, billionaires, who think they can run everything. Like George Soros.

Well, no.

Probably, he deserves a medal, but other people like that, that vote differently than the way we want them to vote.

That's just got to stop. Got to stop. Okay?

He's a good guy mostly. And big tech. Don't even get me started, folks.

Don't. Don't.

It's like my dad used to say. When I was growing up in Scranton, you know, just an average scrappy kid, hanging out with black people and minorities mainly.

You know, my dad used to say to me, don't trust big tech. He was way ahead of the game. Way ahead.

I loved my dad. I will cry. By the way, California, I can relate. Because I had a kitchen fire once.

Anyway, back to big tech. Don't even get me started. We had to work with them. You know. You know, to protect democracy. That's why we had an open line to Facebook and Twitter. Some people called it censorship. That's malarkey. Okay?

It was just, what's the word? Guardrails. Yeah, guard rails for democracy.

That's what that was. And misinformation.

Folks!

I'm serious.

It's everywhere. No joke!

Americans are buried in misinformation.

But let me be clear. We weren't part of that. Okay. Maybe a little bit. But not very much.

I mean, not that you know of.

It's coming out?

Okay. Well, all right.

Maybe a little. We did say Hunter's laptop was fake. Turns out, wasn't. That was a surprise.

No joke, people. I had no idea.

Maybe we had a few things wrong about COVID. You know, like the origins, the lockdowns, the vaccines. But come on! Folks, I'm serious.

It was confusing. You keeping it straight.

Come on.

Look, I know some of you are mad about my family making a few bucks overseas. But, folks, let me tell you, that's how business gets done sometimes.

You know, what are you going to do?

My son, Hunter, good kid. Smart as a whip. Oh, my gosh. What a talented painter he is. Did you hear? Five hundred million dollars of his paintings have been lost in the fire!

Damn it! But a good thing we had insurance on all of that art.

You know, he got some deals. China, Ukraine. Whatever. But it was all aboveboard.

I mean, I'm serious, folks. It's fine. Totally legit. And here's the thing about AI. It's scary.

Artificial intelligence. That's what they call it. I don't trust it. One day, you're talking to your phone.

The next thing you know, it's running your life.

That's why I wanted Congress to ban stock trading for government employees. No joke.

No joke. You can't have senators buying stocks when they know stuff about stocks!

It's just wrong, folks.

Never. I mean, not recently.

I have not recently benefited from stock trading. No joke.

My family made it the old-fashioned way. Through bribery.

That's what we did. All right.

That's America. And let me tell you about America and unity. Folks, we need unity now more than ever.

But you know what is stopping us?

And I mean it!

People who don't listen. They spread lies. They stir up television.

Some of them need to vote for the other guy, and I'm not kidding.

These people are dangerous. Folks, I'm not kidding. Makes me so mad. I could -- I don't know.

You know the rest. Now, I know I've made mistakes. Nobody is perfect. I mean, I'm pretty Tam close. But come on, folks. Give me a break. I'm just doing what's right.

You have to trust me on this. In closing, I want to remind you of the statute of liberty.

That lady has been swaying in the wind for years. But she never falls. Just like America.

She might lead a little to the right or left. But she stays upright. No joke.

It's a miracle. They wouldn't let me change that torch to an ice cream cone. Which I think that would have been great. You know, on her feet, we should have given her some socks or something. Because her feet has to be cold. They're made out of metal, seriously. Seriously, folks.

I'm not joking. What's her hair smell like?

So now it's your turn to stand guard.

Keep the faith. Protect democracy.

And remember, I love the little children.

Hey, God loves the little children.

He keeps them in the palm of his hand.

I've got my palm of my hand on little children.

It's good. Folks, come on!

I'm being serious.

It's real. I love it. I'm serious.

God bless you.

And God bless something else, I don't remember what it was.

So that is a summary of his speech last night.

And --

STU: He's good.

GLENN: Then he walked off into the sunshine.

With the -- and they're pretty close.

He had the seniors come this. You know, from his senior center.

And it was regulated. Ow! That one hurt there. But, hey, he was trying. No, folks, seriously, they're trying their best.

They're seniors. And look at them go. Look at them go.

STU: The Joe Biden players. Ladies and gentlemen.

GLENN: And we're going to miss it. We're going to miss them.

We really are. We really are.

You know, I was thinking, I really don't care except for the instruction.

And I think Democrats have it in the exact right place.

Because they don't care about the destruction, I don't think. At least the ones in Washington.

And they're not paying attention to him at all. They don't care what he's doing. They don't care, okay?

Isn't this exactly the way we should all feel about our president, all the time?

Without the fear of, good God, what is he doing behind the scenes?

Without that fear. He should not have that big of an impact. Nor should all of those clowns in Washington.

You know what I would like to do?

I would like to go back to doing comedy, like, remember, Stu. In the old days, 25 years ago, before 9/11. We were doing comedy.

Wouldn't that be nice? That would be nice.

Would love to do that. But we suddenly had to care. Because these people are out of their mind and out of control.

The way the Democrats care about Joe Biden right now is the way we should care about every president.

Okay?

They should have such little power. No. I'm not joking folks.

I'm not. I'm being serious.

Such little power. We don't care. Yeah.

Yeah. Now, let's go have some ice cream.

STU: I mean, that's -- what the Founders kind of wanted, right?

They wanted a country in which, where you didn't have to think about the cane all the time --

GLENN: Yeah, and you would say, shut up. Shut up.

That's what I think our Founders.

STU: Italian Founders. Yeah. Shut up.

Because, again, it's easy to think about now, as someone you probably like is coming into office.

So you might like the focus on them.

GLENN: Well, I like the focus on them. Because I will fix it. You know what I mean? And then we need to care enough to get those things out of an executive order. And passed as laws. Otherwise, four years from now. We can have somebody -- Karl Marx, they might bring back from the dead. And they will be like, Karl Marx, you know, his first time around didn't go well. But I'm serious, folks. He's great now. And look at that beard. I mean, that's a great beard. Especially for being dead for so long.

And they -- we can -- he will be like, I will do a few executive orders. What? What's the problem?

You know, no! We need to pay attention, so they actually pass these things, as bills.

STU: Interesting. A development on that front. The Republicans are trying to talk Trump out of doing some of these executive orders.

When he first starts. Because of a -- basically a technicality, that comes from this law that we want to pass, this reconciliation bill.

This is their one big bill. To do that. They can pass this bill with only 50 senators.

If it's cutting the deficit, essentially.

And so the -- what -- some of these executive orders that Trump wants to do, will help that. Right?

GLENN: But they need to have them in the pill.

STU: They need to have them in the bill to make sure the scoring is right, so they can pass it.

GLENN: You know, I have to tell you. I think there's more to cut than everyone thinks. Oh, gee, we've got to reduce the deficit.

And you will cut a lot of places. I think you could find more.

STU: I think you can. I think you can.

Again, if you're going to do it anyway. I would prefer, if it's a good measure. And it's going to improve the budget situation. I would rather have it in the reconciliation bill, than as an executive order, for the same reasons you're talking about.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. But I would like to not give away, the stuff that we could get through executive order.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: You know.

STU: If you can get it through the law.

GLENN: Get it through the law.

STU: Get it through the bill. Get it that way. If it's not available there. Then you go --

GLENN: Take it elsewhere.

Because there's a lot that can be cut. Gee. I don't know. We're a few hundred billion dollars away from being able to save the deficit. And pass this bill.

I don't know. Department of Education. Where are the keys?

STU: You can't do that by executive order.

GLENN: No. I'm saying Congress. I'm saying Congress.

We can't do it in the bill.

We can't just pass it with 50, because it's not enough.

Where are the keys to the Department of Education?

I would just like to see them, right now.

Let's put them in the pile. All right.

California Fires and New Jersey Drones: Government Secrets EXPOSED | Glenn TV | Ep 405

The secrets, lies, and utter absence of transparency from all levels of government are tearing our country apart. In just a few days, the Trump administration has the opportunity to change all of that and start a new era of accountability. Over the past decade, we’ve been lied to about Epstein, Ukraine, the Biden crime family … the list goes on! In this episode of Glenn TV, Glenn peels back the layers on two of the biggest stories right now that Americans are DEMANDING answers on: the fires in Los Angeles and the mysterious drone sightings that started in New Jersey but have since occurred all over the world. Then, journalist Michael Shellenberger joins to discuss how California failed to prepare for the Los Angeles wildfires, why there never should have been a dry reservoir, and where he believes the drones are coming from: Are they Chinese, UFOs, or the property of the U.S. government?
