The Glenn Beck Program


Congressman Michele Bachmann

GLENN: Welcome to the program. Since we happen to be in Minneapolis, I don't have just us anyway. Since we happen to be in Minneapolis, Michele Bachmann, of course, this is her hometown and home state and so she's here to stop by and say hello. How are you?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: I'm doing great.

GLENN: Hang on. Just have to figure out which

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Welcome to the great state of Minnesota. We're so excited that you're here, Glenn Beck, what an honor.

GLENN: Thank you. How are things going?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: I think things are going great. I think people can't wait to get to the polls next Tuesday because they have looked at what's happened over the last two years and they are ready to rumble.

GLENN: You are one of the people in Washington who I think really get it. You have gotten it for a very long time. You are relentless and you know that you're causing them problems because the weekend, second time Bill Clinton was

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: That's right.

GLENN: in town.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: That's right.

GLENN: Obama has been in town, the vice president has been in town, Nancy Pelosi was in this weekend, right?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: That's right.

GLENN: Everybody?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Everybody. Every big gun they had, plus the head of the Democrat Party, the former head of the Democrat Party, the head of the Democrat congressional committee. Every single high powered Democrat in the country has been here to raise money against me. They raised $600,000 just this weekend.

GLENN: How are you are you worried at all about voter fraud or voter intimidation?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Yes. Hey, this is Minnesota, remember? This is the state

GLENN: SOS. This is

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Two years ago, that's right. This was the George Soros Secretary of State project where George Soros had put money in to elect about five secretaries of state across the country. Ours was one of them. And our Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, was endorsed by ACORN and given donations by ACORN, and our attorney general was as well. And so our attorney general and our Secretary of State were working with ACORN walking precincts in the last election.

GLENN: So what happens this time?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: This time we do have a group called Integrity Watch and what they are trying to do is poll watching election judges. And remember we had the infamous felons for Franken program two years ago where we know that there were felons that went out and voted presumably for Al Franken. We had more felons vote than the margin of vote victory for Al Franken. So there are over about 350 felons or 600, somewhere in that neighborhood, that were eligible to vote. We know that about 350 did vote. And Al Franken won by just barely over 300 votes.

GLENN: Have you seen what George Soros is doing on the judges, state judges?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: No.

GLENN: What is the name of this organization, Joe? Do you know? Justice for America? I'm not really sure. You need to look into this. George Soros has developed a new program almost like SOS. I think he senses that this state rights thing may move and so now what he's doing is he is dumping money into states to try to get the laws changed so that the governors appoint judges.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Oh, because it's nasty to have the people's voice.

GLENN: Exactly right.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Come into play, isn't it? It's all about George Soros.

GLENN: So we'll have all of the judges be appointed by governors of each of the states, and that is his latest that he's working on now.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Because the one thing he doesn't like is the independent will and voice of the American people.

GLENN: Yes.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: There's this freedom thing he has trouble with.

GLENN: Yes. It's really amazingly

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: It's nasty. To me, you know, there was that whole Juan Williams brouhaha that came up.

GLENN: Yes.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: The thing that was amazing for me is it's good enough for the taxpayers to pay for the bricks and mortar and all the other things for NPR but George Soros wanted to pay for the journalists.

GLENN: Yes.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: And so he gave up $1.8 million so that he could go out and hire two journalists for every state to do reporting for what? Probably in preparation for the 2012 presidential is my guess.

GLENN: And you know what's really interesting is there's an undisclosed amount of money that went from the Tides Foundation to the Huffington Post for the same kind of thing.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Jeez.

GLENN: Yes. So the Tides Foundation is now spending money on their what is that called, the Post's investigative arm? This is their investigative arm of the Huffington Post.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Oh, right.

GLENN: And it's funded by the Tides Foundation.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: But that's where you come into play because probably like no other commentator in the country, you have exposed this, and I'll tell you it is the infamous Glenn Beck chalkboard. That's where the American people have been learning the truth. I will tell you, members of congress have their TVs snapped on when Glenn Beck comes on in the afternoon. We learn a lot from that infamous chalkboard about what's going on.

GLENN: Are you concerned about the things that your colleagues I think we're living in a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington sort of scenario right now.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Yeah. This election cycle, yeah.

GLENN: This is it.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Real people. Real people who aren't perfect polished politicians.

GLENN: But they are going to come, but they're going to trust. They are going to trust, my guys are good, I think I'm I think I'm okay. How are you going to help them know who to trust exactly on because they are going to get Trent Lott said

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: What do you mean when they come to Washington, D.C.?

GLENN: When they come to Washington, there are GOP members that are going to coopt them and they will do it right as soon as they get off the airplane. They will say, you know, we want to help you, we want to help you so much.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Well, that's why the new members that come in need to remember who they are and why they came and then band together with like minded people. I'm the chairman of the Tea Party caucus. You know, we pretty much are standing for what we've seen people doing, getting up off the couch and trying to take their country back, reclaim the country under what the founders gave us as a republic. And to that end you and I had talked about this. I'm starting a class. We're bringing in legal experts to teach all of these wonderful well meaning people, this is what the Declaration means, this is the Constitution, this is the Bill of Rights. We'll do that the hour before we take our first vote and then try and come together because what will happen is if the Republicans take the majority, in order to pass a bill you have to have 218 votes. And so if we can keep a group of constitutional conservatives together, we actually can be a very effective rudder and unless the leader has all of the votes, if we decide we're not going to vote for something, he can't pass a bill. So I think it's really important that we stay together and we're like minded, and that will be a constitutional conservative caucus. So I'm inviting all of these newbies to come in, join the constitutional conservative caucus. That's your best anecdote I think from getting co opted in D.C.

GLENN: Is there a has anybody considered a political rape line that when you are sitting and all of a sudden you're realizing, oh, my gosh, they are trying to rape me of my values that they have a way to reach out to somebody? Because I think people are going to be cornered and they are not going to know what to do. And they may not even know that they've been co opted or until it's too late.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: That's why they have got to know that they have friends. They have got to know that they have friends. And so I'm going to be under an effort to, you know, phone these newbies, the new members of congress and also write to them and invite them. And I would think if they consider themselves a constitutional conservative or a Tea Party person, they might come and then we can let them know, you have a friend.

GLENN: How many people do you think are going to come? How many people are going to be

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: I am hoping for 70 to 80. I am hope because

GLENN: Constitutional

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: I'm hoping.

GLENN: Okay.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Now, that may be inflated. That may be too many. There aren't very many fighters right now, I will tell you that. There are some.

GLENN: How many do you think there are now?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: I would say there's actually probably a good thirty, maybe as high as sixty, maybe as high as sixty.

GLENN: In the house?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Yeah. Maybe, maybe.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Can you imagine like this new blood that's coming in, these great people? But if we can stay tight and if we can stay together.

GLENN: How many in the progressive caucus?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Oh, I would bet there's like

GLENN: Hundreds?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: I would say a hundred.

GLENN: Yeah.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: And in our own Minnesota Keith Ellison wants to be the new head of the progressive caucus. So, you know, they are very bold about the progressive caucus, but that's something that you have done brilliantly. You have exposed to the world what progressivism looks like.

GLENN: It's ugly.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: You've named names, you've named organizations, you've exposed the dollar amounts, where the money is coming from. That's empowered people to actually go to Washington D.C. for rallies and actually get out and vote and run for office.

GLENN: Tell me, tell me what you know about bet I McCollum.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Well, that's one of our member locals of congress here. Yes, she's very, very progressive, very proud of it and she represents St. Paul Minnesota with Teresa Collett running against her who is a constitutional law professor who gets the Constitution.

GLENN: How is she doing in the polls?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Well, I don't know what her polls are. It's a tough area but she's worked really hard.

GLENN: Here's what I you know that our faith is under attack.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Yes.

GLENN: God is under attack. The Creator's not mentioned by the president in I don't know how many speeches.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: In speech after speech after speech.

GLENN: There was a group of Satanists that got together in the Oklahoma City, what do you call it, the arena?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: In the center part of town?

GLENN: No, in the arena.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Oh.

GLENN: They rented out the arena in town and the did a Satanic ritual in it, in the buckle of the Bible belt. I mean, what's going on is really frightening. We had last night the president say to a Hispanic radio station that we have to punish our enemies, meaning the Republicans. You didn't hear this audio?

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: No.

GLENN: I tell you what, we're going to take a break.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: I heard you say Republicans need to sit in the back of the in the back seat, sit in the back of the bus.

GLENN: Back of the bus. You heard that the same way I did. We're going to take a break and then, Pat, if you will, I want to play I want to play McCollum and the president's audio. And I want you to listen and tell me what you think this means because it's

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: This is amazing.

GLENN: We are heading towards dangerous territory.

CONGRESSWOMAN BACHMANN: Yeah.

GLENN: And I think dangerous territory.


 

Trump is INDICTED: Here are the TOP 5 questions about Trump's indictment ANSWERED

Brandon Bell / Staff, J2R | Getty Images

BREAKING NEWS: Trump has been INDICTED.

Today marks the first time in U.S. history that a President has been criminally indicted—but what does that actually mean? Unless you have a legal or political background, it is difficult to follow what will actually happen surrounding Trump's indictment.

Glenn will provide more clarity in coming days as this story continues to unfold. In the meantime, Americans are wondering what Trump's indictment means and what comes next.

Here are five things you NEED to know about Trump's indictment.

1. What does "indictment" actually mean?

To "indict" someone is the formal term used when a person is notified that they have been officially charged with a crime. In this case, the Manhattan grand jury found that the Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, brought forward enough evidence to criminally charge Trump with a crime.

2. What crime is Trump being charged with?

Though the story is still developing, at the time of this article's publication, Trump was apparently being charged with mislabeling campaign finance funds. A week before the 2016 Presidential election, adult film star Stormy Daniels claimed she allegedly slept with Trump years prior and threatened to go public with the story. Trump's then-advisor Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 and labeled the fee as "legal fees" in their campaign finances. Trump repaid Cohen once he was elected to office.

Mislabeling legal fees is a misdemeanor—not a felony—yet Trump is being federally charged. Hillary Clinton was guilty of the same misdemeanor, mislabeling funding for the Steele Dossier as "legal fees" in her campaign finances. Why did she get away with paying $130,000 to the Federal Election Commission, while Trump is facing federal criminal charges?

Mislabeling campaign finances can't be considered a felony unless there is evidence it was used to shield a federal crime. So what was Trump covering up? Even NBC admitted that Bragg's case to prove this point was flimsy to begin with. It has not been revealed what evidence was presented to the grand jury to determine that Trump is guilty of a federal crime.

3. What is a "grand jury" and how are they able to indict Trump?

A "grand jury" is a type of federal jury that evaluates criminal cases. A U.S. prosecutor has to submit evidence before a grand jury, who will determine whether there is “probable cause” to believe an individual has committed a crime and should be put on trial. In this case, the Manhattan grand jury ruled that the evidence submitted by Manhattan DA Bragg was sufficient enough to believe that Trump had committed a federal crime.

Grand jury proceedings are closed to the public, thus, we don't have access to the evidence Bragg submitted before the jury.

4. Will Trump be arrested?

The simple answer is: yes.

Trump's arrest won't look like your typical crime shows with police officers busting through Trump's door and handcuffing him. The district attorney’s office will ask Trump’s attorney when he plans to come to New York to be arraigned, which means to appear before a court to face criminal charges. Once Trump arrives in Manhattan, he will likely surrender himself at the courthouse where he will be formally "arrested," taken to get fingerprinted, get a mugshot taken, and even a DNA test. He will then await his trial to defend himself against the charges.

5. Will Trump appear in court?

Yes. Once Trump is arraigned, he will await his court date to defend himself against his charges. Trump will likely pay bail to avoid being confined to the courthouse or a jail cell.

Buckle up, America! Be sure to tune into the Glenn Beck Program to stay up-to-date on all the developments surrounding Trump's indictment. And if you haven't already, be sure to check out last week's episode of Glenn TV where Glenn dove deep into the "big distraction"—the REAL reason they're going after Trump.

Message to America after the Nashville massacre: We are worshiping a FALSE GOD

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Contributor , DEA / A. VERGANI / Contributor , Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images.

We had yet another tragic school shooting. There is only one way to begin to address this tragedy, a tragedy that has repeated itself all too often. We must begin by mourning with the families of the victims. Our hearts break for the victims, their families, and the entire community affected by this senseless act of violence.

I'm a parent, and I mourn with you as one.

I'm also a concerned citizen deeply concerned with the profound brokenness that pervades our current culture. All of us fear for the safety of our children and our loved ones. We share the same goal of creating a safe and secure environment for everyone, especially for our children, in our schools, in places of learning and growth.

It is natural for all of us to feel anger and fear during these times, and it may seem unnatural to rise above it. But we must. It's essential to remember that we have to come together as a society, together, and address the root causes of violence. Let me state it plainly: the root cause is not the gun, but rather, the misuse of them by individuals who are mentally ill or have criminal intent. I, for one, want to address the problem of gun violence. I am worried about this with my own children. Every American, regardless of who you voted for, feels the same.

But enough is enough.

When will we address mental health? Do you know the damage we have done to our children, just because of COVID? We have destroyed the mental health of our children. Our country's suicide rate is proof enough that something has gone deeply awry within the soul of our nation—the souls of our children. What is causing all of this? It is the loss of the old guards of our civilization.

Something has gone deeply awry within the soul of our nation.

There are several groups that we need to address. First, to the parents and families of the Nashville victims, I'm sorry. We love you. Our society is sick—it is sick and unrecognizable to most of us. Your loved ones have paid the ultimate price for that illness. I'm sorry because I'm part of the society that has an unwillingness to see the truth, apparently.

Second, to the mother of the 27-year-old shooter, we mourn with you as well. I've read your old posts. You've been fighting against guns in school. While we disagree, we both want this violence to end. I've also read your posts about your children, and how proud you are. There were so many moments of beauty. You feel the same way every mom and dad feels about their child, and you were right to feel that way.

Today, I can only imagine how confused you must be. You should know, we love you too. You lost a child as well. You lost a child to the same society that has an unwillingness to see the truth. You should also know, you are part of our community, and we mourn with you as well.

You lost a child to the same society that has an unwillingness to see the truth.

Now, lastly, to the political class and the media elites. You have been dividing us for years. At first, I think I was a part of that. I've tried really hard not to be. However, you're not sincere in anything you do. At first, maybe you thought you were right in your motivations, but then every time society proved you wrong and you just dug your heels in.

Why do you continue to divide us? Is it just to win over your opponent? Is it just to crush the other side? Is it because you believe that everyone who doesn't vote your way is evil? Or is it that you just no longer care? I'm one American among many who no longer believe in you.

I can understand how easy it is to think people who vote differently than me are the problem. I really can, and those people aren't the problem. The problem begins with people, like you, who only care about money or power, or are so arrogant that they think they know better than the rest of us. You make yourselves and your system into a false god. The arrogance.

You make yourselves and your system into a false god.

You go after the disaffected, the weak, and the hopeless, and you prey on these people, promising to be their savior, hoping they will help you gain power over those who you call your enemies. You have lied. You have lied through half-truths. You have lied through omission. You have lied through fabrications. You have distorted the truth to the degree that it's no longer recognizable.

You call men women, and women men. In your world, our children are legally children until 25 for insurance purposes. Yet you also consider our children "adult" enough to alter their own bodies at eight years old. You have called evil good, and good evil. We do not have a gun problem in America. Per capita, there were more gun owners 50 years ago than there are right now, yet they didn't have these problems. Is it the gun, or is it the people?

What we have in America is a TRUTH problem. We have turned ourselves inside out. We have turned ourselves against the basic principles that gave us life and freedom, and the promise of a fuller life. Our women have no more children, and our men have lost all meaning, reason, and faith.

What we have in America is a TRUTH problem.

Just yesterday, the Wall Street Journal released a poll that showed what principles the American people value most. Children, God, family—the values that used to define us as Americans—were LAST on the list. What was on the top? Money was in the top three. Money? Since when has money become a principle?

Perhaps it is because money is the god that so many worship—money over principles every time a corrupt bank is bailed out, money over principles for those who never want to pay their school tuition, every time we make someone who didn't go to school pay for someone else's tuition.

What kind of god do we worship, that makes children so allegedly flawed that we lay them on our metal alters to the gods in the surgical gowns, who can mutilate and sterilize them to make them "just the way they were intended?" That's an ancient god I don't recognize.

We all know the words that were written in the summer of 1776: "We hold these truths." But other words were written later that year when things weren't so sunny. It was December 21st: "These are the times that try men's souls." These words turned our nation around. These truly are the times that try men's souls, and the modern-day patriots—the lovers of truth and justice—must stand firm in the face of an ever-growing storm of disinformation and division. The weak-hearted are not going to be able to weather the storm, but those with the courage to fight for what is true will emerge victorious.

Lovers of truth and justice must stand firm in the face of an ever-growing storm of disinformation and division.

We live in a time when our faith in institutions, our faith in everything we know, is at an all-time low. Our republic is under siege, and the only way out is to remember our founding principles. We are drowning in a sea of lies. Cling to the life raft! Cling to the enduring belief in life and liberty, truth and justice. We'll only be able to find our way out if we can rekindle the flame of unity and embrace the American spirit that carried us through so many crises before. We have been here before.

But this time, in our current American crisis, we have to constantly remind ourselves that our fight isn't against an external enemy that we conquer. Our enemy is causing the internal divisions that are threatening to tear us apart, divisions that are created by monsters of men. These monsters are not just tearing us apart individual to individual, but tearing us and our children out from the inside out.

Cling to the enduring belief in life and liberty, truth and justice.

America, it is high time to reaffirm our commitment to the values that define us as a people. It is our collective responsibility, as free people, to stand up for those principles of truth. The seeds of division have been sewn by those who seek to manipulate and exploit us for their own gain. They shatter our trust in one another to instill fear and hatred where there should be understanding and compassion.

Truth is now clouded by conspiracy. The lines between fact and fiction have been blurred. Truth is a light. Everything we face is not insurmountable, but now is the time to return to truth and decency and justice for all.

Our kids are the ones who are going to pay the highest of prices for what we do now.

What's on Glenn's desk? THIS graphic novel's dystopia has TERRIFYING similarities to our world.

Matt Battaglia

Imagine a global health crisis. Everyone is ordered to "stay-at-home" and only to venture out for "essential" purposes. Travel is regulated by government surveillance, with only permitted workers allowed to go into the city. Inflation is at historic levels, and basic necessities, such as food and gasoline, become invaluable commodities.

Sound familiar?

As the COVID pandemic begins to recede into our cultural memory, it is harrowing to remember the sheer breadth of power we surrendered to our government in order to "keep us safe." We would be foolish to think that the pandemic wasn't a repetition of an age-old tale in the west, and we would be even more naive to believe that we aren't at risk of repeating it in the future: the government's manipulation of a crisis to secure its complete control over its people.

We would be foolish to think that the pandemic wasn't a repetition of an age-old tale

Filmmaker Matt Battaglia published a first in what is likely to become an emerging genre of post-pandemic apocalyptic literature, bringing to life the harrowing consequences of what could happen if we continue to surrender our liberty to the government for the sake of "safety and security."

Battaglia's graphic novel, House on Fire, brings this world to life in an even more vivid dimension through pictures, telling the story of a single day of a man living in this apocalyptic world that doesn't seem too distant from our own.

The setting

Imagine there is another global pandemic of a respiratory virus that is similar to COVID. The government implements COVID-like lockdowns and restrictions from their 2020 blueprint, but this time, the regulations are here to stay. After all, this pandemic isn't the only threat allegedly facing the American people. The future of our planet is at stake. On top of the pandemic regulations, our government restricts the types of food available for consumption, implements individual carbon quotas, mandates electric vehicles, eliminates gas-powered heating, cars, stoves, etc.

Of course, the pandemic and climate change policies require major government funding, so the President uses his emergency powers and executive orders to push through a multi-trillion-dollar proposal that secures the funding necessary to finance the "clean and safe transition." Yes, inflation will be an issue, but that is a small price to pay to secure our health and the future of our planet. Don't forget to include foreign aid for our warring allies in the multi-trillion-dollar packages as well.

Inflation is a small price to pay to secure the future of our planet.

Now fast forward 20 years of living under these all-too-familiar draconian policies. This is Battaglia's apocalyptic world where we meet our nameless main character, causing the reader to question whether our world could devolve into Battaglia's in such a short amount of time.

The plot

Battaglia's story begins with our character kissing his wife goodbye and leaving their country home on a one-day mission to the city in search of a cure for his wife's most recent bout of the illness that is, presumably, a result of the pandemic.

All of the themes that contribute to the apocalyptic nature of Battaglia's world are familiar to us, disturbingly so. Our character drives through country roads, passing by gas signs that list $20 per gallon prices. His radio reports on another invasion of Poland, while country fields transform into steeple-like towers of run-down factories, like old monuments to former industries of a time long past.

Our character reaches the city limit, a border-like security checkpoint where he is required to scan his identity card to enter the city, the likes of which we see in China today. Masks required. He then drives through empty streets of a once bustling city, save for several suspect people who seem to blend into the crevices of alleyways and corners, shrouded by their masks.

Finally, our character meets with his "contact," who gives him some type of canister, supposedly a remedy for his wife's ailment. He barters with several cuts of meat, a rarity more valuable than inflated cash in this "Green New World." From this point onward, things take a turn for our character—for the worst.

Glenn's warning

Many of these scenes bring to life themes that Glenn has been warning about for years, from the government's use of a pandemic to seize control over its people, the depleted dollar and record-high inflation resulting from government spending and foreign conflicts, the Great Reset's goals to eliminate meat, gas-powered products, and other "high emissions products." All of these will be done in the name of seemingly righteous goals: "health," "safety," "security," and the "future of our planet" come to mind. However, we won't realize our freedoms will be a faint memory of the past until it is too late.

All of these measures will be done in the name of seemingly "righteous" goals.

House on Fire's poignant ending leaves the reader with a terrifying yet vitally important question: are the issues plaguing our society latent within society itself, or do they stem from the troubles within our own souls? Does society mold the human soul, or is society, as Plato puts it, the human soul "writ large?"

Battaglia's short yet powerful graphic novel brings to life many of the themes that Glenn has been warning his listeners. It is sitting on his desk, and we hope it will sit on yours too. It gives the reader a glimpse into our society after years of decay and oppression, calling on the reader to halt its progression before it's too late.

Elon Musk comments on Glenn's podcast with David Sacks, takes jab at U.S. foreign policy

Pool / Pool | Getty Images

Elon Musk chimed into Glenn's conversation about foreign policy with PayPal's founding COO David Sacks on the most recent installment of the Glenn Beck Podcast.

Musk tweeted, "US foreign policy is bronze tier on a good day!" He hit the nail on the head, as Glenn and Sacks discussed the deterioration of U.S. foreign policy and the rising probability of war with Russia and China.

Glenn asked Sacks, "How likely do you think it is that we'd be headed towards war?" Sacks responded that he has been warning about the imminent threat of war since the Ukraine situation started and lamented that we have entered into a "proxy war of choice" with Russia.

"We engaged in a series of actions going back to 2008 that the Russians have viewed as highly provocative," Sacks said, decrying the continued expansion of NATO into Ukraine. Russia has continually warned the U.S. against expanding NATO into Ukraine, yet the State Department "crusaders" have persisted in their NATO-driven objective, which is "unacceptable to the Russians," Sacks said, "in the same way the Soviet Union trying to put nukes in Cuba was unacceptable to us in 1962."

If NATO expansion isn't enough to provoke a response from the Russian bear, our ongoing and escalating aid to Ukraine certainly is. As Sacks explained, "We're not just providing [Ukraine] with money and weapons. We are providing them with intelligence, we have commandos on the ground" and we are even directing Ukrainian soldiers on how to use our weapons on how to hit specific Russian targets. As Sacks said, "We are providing the kill chain" for Ukraine.

To put this in perspective, that would be equivalent to Russian soldiers instructing Taliban members on how to use Russian weapons to hit specific U.S. camps in Afghanistan. In that situation, wouldn't we accuse Russia of engaging in an act of war? The term "proxy" is increasingly diminishing in its relevance towards the U.S.'s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. We aren't engaging in a "proxy war" anymore. As Sacks said, "We are effectively a co-belligerent in this conflict."

It is no wonder that we are driving Russia into China's arms while both Putin and Xi continue to forge ties with sworn enemies of the U.S., including Iran and North Korea. If we continue to "poke the bear," it is only a matter of time before Russia finds its confidence with its newly-forged allies to retaliate against its aggressor.

Musk rightly said, "US foreign policy is bronze tier on a good day." But U.S. foreign policy has not even had a "good day" in some time. We are not only jeopardizing our own international reputation with ongoing aid to Ukraine; we are jeopardizing the whole world order by marching NATO increasingly toward war. Elites in the Biden administration and the military industrial complex may benefit from aggravating Russia towards war, but it certainly doesn't benefit anyone else, in the U.S. and abroad.

There are few tools in the conservative's kit to fight back against the elites' dangerous agenda. However, Musk mentioned one of these vital tools in a comment he tweeted on Glenn's interview with San Fransicko author and Twitter Files contributor Michael Schellenberger back in January: "Citizen journalism is vital to the future of civilization."

As Glenn continues to give people a platform to speak out against the elites, it is encouraging to see Musk continue to help make Twitter a platform where people can voice their challenges to the machine's agenda.
