Glenn: Are YOU going to accept THIS from the FBI, DOJ, & DC?

We are on the verge of LOSING OUR REPUBLIC, Glenn says. And signs show that ‘regular politics’ won’t be enough to fix the gaping issues currently facing America. In this clip, Glenn runs through just the latest stories showing how the FBI, Department of Justice (DOJ), and others in D.C. expect ordinary Americans — like YOU — to ‘sit down and shut up.’ The way FBI Director Christopher Wray handled recent questioning from Senator Hagerty is just one example. But Glenn is NOT willing to ‘sit down and shut up,’ he says. So, what’s the solution? Glenn will provide a constitutional one TONIGHT during his special, ‘The Reckoning: Biden Crime Family,’ which airs Thursday, May 18th at 8:00pm ET on BlazeTV.com and blazetv .

GLENN: Wow. Stu, how are you?

STU: I am great, Glenn. How about yourself?

GLENN: Well, I'm a little, shall I say, fed up.

STU: You are a little fed up. I've noticed that this week.

GLENN: I am a little fed up.

STU: It has been the theme of the week.

GLENN: It has been. And it has been -- I don't know -- a long time coming. And I think we all are. And you have two choices when you're fed up, you can either go, oh, well. It doesn't matter. Or you can say, wow, is this really kind of important. We should find a way to make it stop.

Because we're on the verge of losing our nation. I believe the constitutional republic, that we all think we live in, is already a thing of the past.

But it can be saved, but I don't think through regular politics in Washington. I'm going to lay this out for you tonight.

But I just want to ask you, if you are willing to accept the consequences, of things like this.

Bill Hagerty, yesterday, he's a senator. He was grilling the FBI director. About a document, that Grassley and comber have said, we need for our investigation. We know you have it. Whistle-blowers have said, you have it.

We need it. And you have until like 5 o'clock today, to produce it.

Well, they didn't produce it. So when Ray gets up to testify in front of Congress, here's what happens. Senator Grassley and Chairman Comer subpoenaed an FBI document containing an allegation regarding a pay-to-play scheme between then vice president Biden and a foreign national, and your response was due just a little bit earlier today. My question is, has the FBI complied with the subpoena for this document?

PAT: I believe we submitted a lengthy letter earlier today.

VOICE: A letter? But not the document that is of the subject of the request.

VOICE: I can't speak to the specific document. But we are committed to working collaboratively with both committees, but we also have to balance sources and methods and ongoing investigations. And we will continue to work through the accommodation process as has happened many times in the past.

VOICE: Was there a plan to submit the document? Or will it be never submitted.

VOICE: I would refer to the letter which is quite detailed.

And kind of goes through a fair amount of discussion, about our proposed approach.

VOICE: To addressing the document? I do want to confirm, the document does exist.

VOICE: I -- I -- really can't get into the specifics.

GLENN: No. He can't get into that.

VOICE: I will tell you, we understand completely, the importance of congressional oversight.

GLENN: Right. Really important.

VOICE: I also understand very much, as I think you do, the importance of us protecting sources and methods for investigations.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. That's why you can't answer anything about January 6th. How many people from the FBI were involved in that? How many -- did you really have 12, or was it ten people on -- in the plot to -- to, you know, kidnap and kill Gretchen Whitmer?

Was it ten? We can't get into any of that.

Oh, gosh darn it. I'm sorry. Am I going to foul up your really, really competent system there?

You know that Durham, his scope included the FBI investigations directed at the Hillary Clinton campaign. Did you know that?

The FBI had three concurrent investigations, into the Clinton foundation. Yeah.

FBI has -- you know, I wonder, is that why they shut it down after she lost?

Is that why, it just went away? Nobody. Contributions went to zero. Because I thought it was just about the bribery.

But was it possibly that you had a government agency going, there's a problem here. You've got foreign money, funneling in.

And the FBI had that tip. The tip that was -- that a foreign government, in fact, three of them, a foreign government was sending a person to contribute to Clinton's anticipated presidential campaign, in a way to gain influence, with Clinton, should she win the presidency.

So it's kind of like what they said, was happening with Russia. And Trump.

But it was Clinton. And the FBI, somehow, you know, they -- they had all of this information.

And then they lost it. They don't have a copy anymore. Of the illegal payment.

And the FBI handlers couldn't explain why this illegal contribution wasn't documented in FBI records. It should have been there. It was a human error, I think. And we could all understand that.

So, by the way, the FBI the agent handling it, was told the other agency that, you know, was saying, hey, here's some documents.

They were told that you should stay away from all events relating to the Clinton campaign.

So -- so that's -- that's good. I don't know about you.

I think this is fair and honest.

That I think we're not -- we're not looking at a giant cabal. Certainly, not a secret one.

They're out in the open. They're absolutely out in the open.

And they're doing a bang-up job. I don't know if you heard this. Let me give you a quick update. You remember the Zodiac Killer?

STU: Yeah, big story.

GLENN: Yeah. Back in the day. I think I was like four.

STU: Made movies out of it. And everything.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Apparently, the FBI had the DNA evidence and everything, since 2012, I think. Yeah, 2012.

Felon has been secretly listed the Zodiac suspect in headquarter computer since 2016, with partial DNA safely secured at Quantico. Unfortunately, they -- they didn't do anything about it.

They were like, we're busy, on other things. We've got other things we got to do.

And so they did those things. Now the Zodiac Killer is now dead.

STU: So they got him. Good job, FBI.

GLENN: Well, God got him, really. Eventually. Eventually.

Now, something else that you should probably -- I mean, I'm just saying. I'm a little fed up.

I think it's so clearly obvious what's going on.

And we lose the republic, if we all go, well, what are you going to do. Right?

If we all say, well, what are you going to do? That's just Washington. What happens?

Why do you think they're trying to scare you, like they are?

Why do you think, that they are taking these whistle-blowers. Wait until I tell you about the whistle-blowers.

Wait until you see what they're doing to them. Why do you think they're doing that?

Because they're telling every FBI agent, you stay in place.

They're telling every IRS agent. You sit down, and shut up.

They are making these people's lives miserable, and it's dangerous. Why do you think they're going after pro-abortion people?

Sit down, shut up.

Why do you think they targeted parents at the school boards?

Sit down and shut up.

So my question is: When somebody is saying that to America, do Americans today, continue to sit town and shut up?

Because I know how that movie ends.

I'm not going to sit down and shut up.

I haven't a clue on how we're going to solve this.

Well, you know what, something happened the last couple of months. We all looked at each other, and went, hey, that gives me an idea.

And it's a constitutional stick. I don't look to guns or violence, or anything else for the answer. I look to the Constitution. Because they got it.

They covered all of it. So how can we solve this?

Because the Justice Department is not going to throw anybody in jail. The FBI is completely corrupt.

We know that the Democratic Party. I mean, think of this.

If your democratic friends. If they are paying any attention at all, the crimes here are so clear, and I don't even mean the crimes -- I can't tell you -- I can guess, but I can't tell you about the Clinton Foundation. I don't have evidence. But I believe that the FBI has had the evidence, and done nothing about it.

It's so clear, when what you lose the presidency, and all of a sudden, nobody is giving to your foundation anymore?

Hello! It's so clear what that is.

However, you know, you need an investigation. In a court of law. But that's never going to happen.

And even if it does happen, it's going to happen in Washington, DC, where 97 percent -- I mean, it's honestly.

It's like Baghdad and Saddam Hussein: 97 percent of the people going to vote, are like, yeah. I'm for Saddam Hussein! Put my finger in the ink.

So how do we win? How do we reclaim a blind justice?

I'll tell you tonight. Blaze TV. If you're not a member of Blaze TV, you need to be.

We need your support. Look, anybody telling you the truth. And this includes you. And that's why we try to be there for you. Anyone who is telling you the truth, and if we go to involved in this. It's about to go Jason Bourne.

I worry about these whistle-blowers. This is dangerous stuff now in America.

But the good guys win. We win. We just have to stay together and stand together. So join us at the Blaze. Tonight at 8:00 p.m.

We're going to show you all of this. And we're going to go over it female I have a website, that I will introduce to you tonight. I will show you the whole plan. I ask you, bring friends over. Bring neighbors over. Bring anybody who has an open mind, to listen. Who wants to solve the problem.

Glenn & Panel DEBATE Trump’s 10 Most Controversial Cabinet Picks | Ep 397

The last five years, including the pandemic, have destroyed trust in the federal government. The election handed Trump a mandate to do something about it — to root out the corruption and waste at the heart of this distrust. Trump has not taken the safe path with his Cabinet and agency picks: Kash Patel (FBI), Tulsi Gabbard (DNI), Pete Hegseth (DOD), Pam Bondi (AG), Kristi Noem (Homeland Security), Tom Homan (border czar), RFK Jr. (HHS), Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (NIH), Linda McMahon (Education), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Labor), and Scott Bessent (Treasury). He has mostly gone for firebrands — nominees who are already sending the establishment into a panic. Will this strategy actually work? Or is the firebrand approach doomed out of the gate? BlazeTV’s Steve Deace, Liz Wheeler, Stu Burguiere, and Jason Buttrill join Glenn along with recovering investment banker Carol Roth and FBI whistleblower Steve Friend to break down the Cabinet controversies and debate these nominees. Will the swamp establishment let them survive the nomination process?

Why Trump’s MAGA Mandate is the REVOLUTION Our Founders Hoped For

Why Trump’s MAGA Mandate is the REVOLUTION Our Founders Hoped For

Because of things like the COVID-19 pandemic, we now know how corrupt and out of control our government has become. But the American People have given Donald Trump a mandate to tear out the cancer and correct course. This, Glenn says, is what our Founders meant when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence: “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” This is the kind of “revolution” our founders wanted us to have: not a bloody one, like communism demands, and not a destructive one like Antifa anarchists want. Instead, it’s a peaceful revolution. That is the MAGA mandate. But the Deep State won’t go down without a fight. Glenn explains the “best thing” that Trump and his Cabinet could do to win.

GLENN: Okay. So earlier today, we had Congressman Brad Wenstrup on with us. He is the chairman of the select subcommittee of the coronavirus pandemic. He's a Republican from Ohio.

They've been doing Yeoman's work trying to get to the truth about what happened with COVID. You're going to be shocked, honestly. Hold your chin, because your chin and your mouth may fall so far open, when you hear this news. It could go to the floor.

It apparently came from a lab, in Wuhan.
This -- what I'm going to tell you right now is nonclassified. And because I had such a short time with Brad on the air, because we were up against this network clock, we must get to everything.

And he -- he asked to hold on. And talk to my producers, after we got off the air. And he said, tell gren, this is just the declassified stuff, that has come you out.

He said, the classified stuff and it's going to come out, he said, is jaw-dropping.

He said, it is so far out of control, our government and big farm.

And gosh, wouldn't it be ashame, to have somebody like Robert F. Kennedy, say I think this should be declassified. I talked to the president yesterday about RFK.

And he's like, he said to me, Glenn. There is a problem with something.

I don't know what it is. He thinks it's food and pharmaceuticals. But just with autism. The numbers are staggering. It is out of control.

And he's convinced, and so I told him, give me the science. Show me!

Prove it, and let's fix it, if that's what it is. And he's also very clear about transparency.

And I think if Robert F. Kennedy comes out and says, you know what, the coronavirus pandemic thing really needs to be declassified.

I think Donald Trump is going to declassify it, and it is going to be expose everybody. Everybody is involved in this. The intelligence community, the Justice Department.

The cover-up alone from the NIH, and Fauci's office. We know now that they were shredding and deleting information and emails.

They were intentionally, and even during the subcommittee, in the last, you know, year or so, while this was going on, the -- the Democrats were still trying to block getting any information on this.

The senior adviser for Fauci, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records. Okay?

You don't do that. He then shared nonpublic information, about NIH grant processes with EcoHealth Alliance.

This is everything we said, we were -- I think the first ones to come out with a special, and a giant chalkboard to show you exactly what happened.

We were -- we were almost dropped entirely from YouTube, because of it.

And then Steve Deace. And gosh. What's his name.

I feel horrible. That wrote the book about, you know, how we're turning into Nazis.

STU: Daniel Horowitz.

GLENN: Yeah. Daniel Horowitz.

Then they came out with the book. And almost all of this stuff now is being proven.

And that's just the declassified stuff. This is -- we have a real problem. Our government is completely out of control.

And I am -- I just want to remind you, the Declaration of Independence says, hey, Dear King George, we really feel bad.

You know, we tried to talk to you about some things. And we really have to break away. But we apologize, that we're wanting to do that. But we feel we have to tell you why.

This revolution that we started, is unlike any other revolutionary document ever produced in the history of the world.

Read BLM's revolutionary documents. We're going to end this. We're going to destroy the traditional family.

We're going to do this, and this and this. Ours started with, hey, we have a respect for God and mankind, and we think we need to tell you why.

And then it doesn't go into, because you suck. It goes into, because we see things completely different.

We hold things that we don't believe to be self-evident. That all men are created equal. Yada, yada.

And then it goes into, and governments are instituted among men, to protect those rights. And paraphrasing, whenever a government begins to injure those rights, or harm those rights, it is the right and the duty of the public, to overthrow that government. And replace it with a government, more likely to protect those rights.

That's what happened, gang. We -- just went through that paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

What this mandate was, is we are overthrowing, this out of control government, that is inflicting damage on our rights.

And we're replacing it with a bunch of outsiders, hopefully. That will be better equipped to protect our rights.

Okay?

So we did this, the right way. This is fantastic news.

Our Founders saw the solution, and we actually did it.

Now we just have to make sure. Because these guys are going to fight with it -- there is so much money involved.

I mean, you want to -- just think of all the wars that are breaking out right now.

All of the wars.

You have South Korea.

You have North Korea. China. Violating South Korea.

You have China, with their drones. I don't know if you've seen the video of their drone armies.

Oh, my. Our aircraft carriers are over.

Mark my words. The next global war. The next serious war. Aircraft carriers are going to be the horse of World War I.

It's over!

They're going to take Taiwan. Possibly if Trump comes in. There's a chance of that stopping.

Or when Trump gets in.

But what are we doing?

We're depleting everything we have.

We built, rebuilt our armed forces under Trump.

Now, we don't have enough to fight a two-front war. We just don't have enough. We don't have it.

We've given it away. Why? Because the military industrial complex, says, you know what, we can -- why don't you give your stuff away.

We'll make more for you. You know the money that is involved?

This is -- think of Jason borne. Those movies where people are killed, because of small things like, you know, a billion dollars. Or power.

That is happening in almost every industry. And every big business around the world.

Pharmaceuticals.

Health care. Intelligence. The military industrial complex.

The education complex.

Everything!

When -- when these things are exposed, people are going to be in danger on both sides.

You're going to just start seeing people, oh, accidentally falling out of a window.

I'm convinced of it. Because it is so corrupt.

But the good news is, we are on it. And the best thing that can happen, is to release all of these documents.

And this is the one thing I do like about RFK.

RFK doesn't trust the government. The -- he does not trust the intelligence agencies. He doesn't trust the government, because he's seen two murders and assassinations in his own family.

He knows what Deep State can do. And I am absolutely convinced.

I was never convinced of this before. I am absolutely convinced, Oswald killed him.

But that was an operation. I'm absolutely convinced, that was an operation.

He was going to cut all of the endless wars that they were preparing for. Donald Trump is in that same situation.

The good news is, Donald Trump is not alone.

John F. Kennedy was kind of alone. Had his brother.

But kind of alone. But remember what -- remember what Hoover did.

That's why Kash Patel is so critical. In the FBI.

Kash Patel is -- they are -- they are pooping their pants, I mean, all day long.

I don't know how many changes of underwear they have to bring to the -- to Congress and the Senate. And to the FBI building every day.

But they've got to be changing their underpants a lot. Because that guy is serious.

I talked to his wife last night. And she said, Kash wanted to come up and make sure that I said hello. And I said, you make sure you tell him, I am 100 percent behind him.

Because we talked on -- on TV. Months ago, and he talked about, I wouldn't have released the JFK papers. He said, I can't explain why, but I saw them. I think that was a right decision.

But everything else, it just -- it needs to be declassified. Everything needs to be declassified.

This is -- this is too secretive.

So there is no accountability.

That guy is going to go in. And he is going to take things like this. And people are going to go to jail.

This is the kind of revolution, that our Founders wanted.

It is a peaceful revolution.

But they're not stopping their fight.

We are -- we are in for -- and I -- I hate to keep harping on this. But this is why I am so concerned about global war.

Because this isn't just an American problem. This is happening everywhere.

This is everyone. Every country. Every western country has this going on.

Look at Canada. Look at Trudeau. What do you think is hiding in the closet of Trudeau?

What do you think is hiding in the closets of the Labor Party, and even the Conservative Party over in England, or France, or Germany? That -- that doesn't have the kind of constitutional oversight like we have.

These secrets are everywhere. And they're connected. We have our work cut out for us.

But I just -- I have to tell you, I feel this from everything -- every part of my being. It is going to be very, very tough.

But God is with us. And Donald Trump is serious.

And he is looking for -- I don't get the feeling he is married to any one person. That he's appointing.

He is married to the mission!

And the mission is, get it done, get it done completely, and get it done fast! Before they can even react to cut our heads off.

Cut the heads of this snake.

And he's serious about it.

Inside Glenn Beck’s PRIVATE conversation with Donald Trump

Glenn recently traveled to Mar-a-Lago to attend a PragerU event, but got a chance to talk with President-elect Donald Trump as well. Glenn discusses everything he can about the shocking conversation they had, which covered a wide range of topics: What’s happening to South Korea? What’s really going on with the Russia/Ukraine war? Do Biden and the Democrats want that war? How much of a threat is Iran? Why is Trump worried about ‘nuclear proliferation’? Glenn also explains what made this meeting very different than the others he has had with presidents and why he now believes it was a blessing that Trump lost in 2020: He’s a changed man now and he’s coming back with laser focus to change everything FAST.

GLENN: So I don't know where to even begin with -- I just had the most amazing, surreal experience at Mar-a-Lago, last night. Just surreal.

I was there to help raise money for Prager University. And Dennis Prager, who, by the way, let me give you an update on him.

He was severely injured. He fell in the shower. Hit his head, and it snapped his neck back.

And he has injuries to his neck.

And he is making progress. And only Dennis would be as positive. I mean, somehow or another, he's still like, huh? I'm doing great.

And it's going to be a long process to get him back. But he had been -- he wasn't able to breathe on his own. But that is over. And he spoke for the first time, here the last couple of days. And he's fully there. His body just isn't working. But he has a long road.

But he is -- he is doing better.

And believe me, he appreciates and can feel your prayers. He obviously wasn't there last night.

But he still is in the hospital.

So we were there, raising money for Prager U. Who they're just doing amazing things.

If you want to give for education, what they're doing now, on education, and Prager U. And the impact that they're having, is incredible.

Just incredible.

Dennis Prager. You know, Rush Limbaugh, when my generation, and maybe the generation, you know, after me, when we would go, people will remember Rush Limbaugh, if they read about the history of, you know, people who made some impact.

But even Rush Limbaugh, for his important and his legendary and as game-changing as he was, will eventually be forgotten.

I don't think Dennis Prager will because of Prager University. That thing is making a huge impact. And well worth your support, and it would I think make Dennis feel a lot better, knowing that they raised a lot of money last night.

And they really need your help. They have huge plans. Just go to DennisPrager.org -- it's PragerUniversity.org. And if you have some money that you would like to invest in the future, that's a great place to invest.

So I get to Mar-a-Lago. And I have a few minutes with the president. And I ask him, what the hell is going on with South Korea, North Korea, China, Syria, Ukraine, Russia?

He is laser focused on this. And, again, he reiterated to me, the nuclear proliferation that is coming, is going to be our biggest problem.

He said, we had Iran, absolutely crippled.

He said, I hope we can get them there quickly. He said, but nukes are up for sale now.

North Korea has them. And he said, I don't have any -- you know, evidence that they've sold them. But they are up for sale. And he said proliferation of nukes are coming.

And Russia is still the biggest threat. I asked him -- I just want to be really careful. Because it wasn't. It was just a personal conversation.

But I asked him about the next 40-some takes. I said, I'm very concerned that Biden or whoever is the president of the United States right now, the military industrial complex. Barack Obama. I don't know who it is.

Wants war. And he didn't get into who was the president or anything else. He just said, this man is so incompetent. He said, he has absolutely no idea the history of even Ukraine, let alone Russia.

He said, this -- this -- this should never have happened.

And he said, it is a meat grinder.

He said, when this is all over, and the world can see what's happened, he said, North Korea -- I asked him about the North Korean fighters.

I said, you know, are they good?

He said, Glenn, it's a country of 5 million soldiers. He's like, it's a religion over there.

Their state is the religion. Their supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, is like their God. If he says, you're going to war and you are going to fight and tie, he says, 5 million. And they'll just keep coming.

And he said, it -- the way he described it to me, it almost sounds like colonial days when everyone was just in a line. You know, and, you know, okay. We want to be fair.

We will wear the red coat so you can see where to aim. We are just going to stand in a big line.

I got the impression that that's almost how North Korea.

They have so many people, that wave after wave is coming. And he said, there's no respect for life. None.

He said, it's unlike anything modern. The modern world has seen in a long time.

He said, I don't remember exactly how he said it. But basically, they don't even have tourniquets.

He said, if the guys are shot in the legs, they bleed to death. And people are just walking over them.

He said, you're wounded, you die.

There's no medics coming for you.

You just die because they got plenty of soldiers behind you. And he said, it is bloodshed like the world cannot imagine.

And I asked him, I said, I -- I think everybody wants peace.

And he said, hmm. I think so too.

And he kind of hedged his -- at least this is my impression, that he kind of -- my impression is, we're going to pay a very, very high price.

With Putin. Because we have violated every single red line, with Vladimir Putin.

Everything he said, don't do, we have done.

And I personally think -- this is my opinion. I didn't express this to the president.

But I personally think, one, they want war.

I don't know who they is.

The military-industrial complex. The Biden family to wipe out the corruption.

Ukraine is nothing, but a money-laundering system. That's all it is.

It's money being laundered. I don't know where it's going. Why isn't anyone concerned on how much money we're sending over? All these weapons.

They're being sold on the black market to our enemies.

What the hell is happening? Why is this happening?

And so my personal opinion is, either they're trying to wipe out -- remember, the Hunter Biden thing is for ten years.

For crimes that he's never even been accused of.

Statute of limitations runs out in five years, on most things.

Except for like murder, human trafficking.

Treason.

Things like that.

But he's been -- never before in American history, has this ever happened.

Never before. A blanket pardon for anything he did, from 2014.

Gee. When did he go over to Ukraine? 2014.

And so I don't know if they're just trying to buy their way out of trouble. They want a war to destroy all of any evidence, or anybody involved.

I don't know.

But somebody wants war. And it might just be the military-industrial complex, just saying, you know, we really need to upgrade our military. So let's just give them all this old stuff. And we'll make new stuff for you, America.

It could be that.

It could be the State Department. The State Department. And I won't give you his response.

But I said, you realize, you have the opportunity, because we did talk about how this endless wars are just insane.

And I said, it's the State Department. It's the -- and you can -- you can stop that nonsense.

You can just fire them all.

And get people in here, who don't think the same way Woodrow Wilson did over 100 years ago.

He's very well aware of that.

And things are going to change. I was -- everything we talked about, he was laser focused.

I mean, you know, I've met with presidents before.

I met with Ronald Reagan

I met with George H.W. Bush. I met with George W. Bush. And I met with Donald Trump.

I have more confidence in Donald Trump now, than any other president I've met with. The guy is super, super informed.

It is a blessing, honestly.

It is a miracle, that he lost in 2020. And I say that, you listen to this show. You remember what I was saying. We're all doomed. We're all going to die. Okay?

The country is over if we don't correct this in four years. We would not have had this president, the man he is today, if it wasn't for his loss in 2020.

He had four years to go, okay. What did I do wrong? How did they get me?

How did they thwart me? How do I stop it? And how do I reverse this machine, while dismantling this machine? He is laser focused on that.

And if he said it once to me, he said it a thousand times. Glenn, it's going to be breathtaking. It's coming. Change is coming.

And it is coming fast. They are not going to know how to deal with it.

I'm filled with confidence, and, again, I say this with the caveat, that, you know, the left will never say.

But I say this with the caveat that I would say on any president. As long as he's constitutional. As long as he's following the Constitution and the laws, he -- he is going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time.

Because he's at least going to give it a college try. I mean, he's -- he's going for it.

We talked about his appointments. And what he had planned. There's some things that -- well, recommend take a one-minute break.

GLENN: So when we're looking at the world stage, everything that's happening is happening because America vacated the leadership role. I hope Americans realize, without the consequences, at least so far, how close we are to seeing what happens to the world, if America leaves the world stage.

And I don't want to be the world's policeman. I don't want to be involved in foreign wars.

The president doesn't want to be involved in foreign wars. He wants to end them. He wants us to concentrate on us.

But somebody has to be there, to say, knock it off!

And he's the guy -- he's already doing that. It's conversations of some conversations he has recently. And the world is being put on notice.

I'm back, very soon. You might want to change your behavior. Because everything you have been doing, is not going to happen anymore.

And I wish I could express the things that he expressed to me. Because he would be so excited.

He would like, oh, my gosh. This is fantastic.

STU: Isn't this sort of hopeful about the whole Russia, nuclear war stuff too.

Why would Vladimir Putin with eight weeks left, start what winds up being a nuclear war, when he's got somebody who is going to be a lot more sane in office, just a few weeks away.

GLENN: So because this is my impression.

Because he's being backed into a corner by Joe Biden. Every red line. He does not want to do it. But he's getting pressure from the hard-liners, in his country.

STU: Right.

GLENN: To use just even tactical nukes. Which we don't know what that would cause.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: And what our response would be -- if he drops a tactical nuke, Joe Biden will launch. He will. He will. He will.

STU: Put that's a massive step. Tactical nuke. That will be a massive thing. Why would he do that, knowing that this whole situation changes?

GLENN: Again, things are so dynamic.

Look at what's happening.

I wish I could get the president on the phone, to just have the conversation, he explained it so well.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: Look what's happening with Turkey. With Syria. With Iran.

Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, China. And South Korea.

They're not disconnected. Okay? They're all connected.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: To each other. And he is -- he is confident that the Middle East will be solved. He's like, we'll get the Abrahamic Accords back.

They've dealt with me before, in the Middle East.

They know.

He said, everything else around the world is so on the edge. He was really pissed.

He was like, none of this -- I just would like to remind you, none of this was happening four years ago.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: He said, this is all because of incompetence, stupidity, and a complete misunderstanding of how the world works.

And he -- he, again, reiterated, nuclear war is -- I mean, every time I see him. And he must have said it three times last night. Nuclear war is real.

And it is endgame changing. And he said, at all costs, we have to avoid that.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Brittany Patterson is on with us now.

And also her attorney. Want to make sure that she doesn't say anything that would cost her in court.

David Delugas is with the Parents USA.

He's an executive director, and general counsel. Brittany, tell this audience your story.

What happened to you?

BRITTANY: So basically I have two kids that homeschool. And two kids that go to public school.

And any time I leave the house to run errands, or take somebody to the appointment.

The homeschool kids always get the choice to stay or go.

So on this particular day, I had to take my older son, to an appointment.

And so I had to pick him up at school, and take him.

And I thought that both my homeschool kids were going to come.

But when I went back to holler for them. They didn't answer.

I waited for a minute.

Hollered again. Didn't answer. So I figured, he didn't want to come.

And he was somewhere out on the property.

Or somewhere in the House, where he couldn't hear me. Or something like that.

So, I mean, went ahead and left. And went and picked up my son.

Took him to the doctor. And while we were at the doctor, I got a call from a sheriff's deputy, saying that she had found Soren, less than a mile from our house. In a little tiny town of middle bluff.

GLENN: What's the population of that town?

BRITTANY: So I don't know exactly. But it's like 350, I think, 370 something like that.

GLENN: 370 people?

BRITTANY: Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. So huge metropolis.

BRITTANY: There's a four-way stop sign. That's all there is.

GLENN: Okay. Okay.

BRITTANY: So, anyway, she started asking me questions. If I knew he was there.

Of course, I said no. Because I didn't.

And, you know, she seemed very concerned that something terrible was going to happen to him.

I was not concerned.

So basically, she ended up putting her in her car. And bringing him back to my house.

And my dad just for some background. My dad lives in our basement apartment.

And he's pretty much here all the time.

Because he has a physical disability. So he can't drive.

GLENN: Okay.

BRITTANY: So there's basically always an adult in my house with my kids. Not that there needs to be. But there always is.

GLENN: Okay. And, I mean, want to make sure. Your kids are 11, 12, 14, and 16.

And at the time, Soren, the child that was out walking. Was ten. Correct?

BRITTANY: Correct. He was a few days from turning 11. But he was still ten.

So they brought him home, and dropped him back off at home.

With my dad down stairs. Which is exactly the same way that I left him.

And they left. And so he was here. You know, without me. Or without the police.

Exactly the way I left him, for about 20 minutes, before I -- and so, you know, of course, I had a talk with him. Because I do tell all my kids. You know, if you want to go somewhere.

Send me a text. Call me.

Let me know where you will go. So that way, I can kind of keep tabs on you.

And he obviously didn't do that. So I gave him a little talking to about that.

And then we just kind of went about our day.

And about five minutes later, around 6:30, is when they showed up to arrest me.

GLENN: Okay. I just -- hang on. I just want to bring people up to speed here.

So you know who you're listening to. She was a kindergarten teacher.

She has a master's degree in education leadership. And curriculum obstruction.

Professional teaching license in Atlanta and Georgia. Her husband, Josh. Been in an organization of 17 years.

At all levels. Has been the superintendent of schools, for seven years.

He has a doctorate degree in educational leadership. She left education to go into real estate, because the demands of the kids' competitive sports wasn't working with her teaching schedule.

And that's who you're dealing with. So you're not dealing with people who just -- who don't know what they're doing with children.

You know, they're teachers. They have a doctorate. They know so much more.

This is -- these are professional people.

That have spent their lifetime teaching children, and being around children.

So when they came to your door, in this town of, how many people again?

Thee hundred --

PETER: About 370.

GLENN: About 370 people.

So, you know, one of them leaving the other 369 at home in their beds. What did they say to you?

BRITTANY: They didn't really say anything, other than they asked me to step outside, and put my hands behind my back. So at that point, I asked why. And the female officer said, because you're under arrest. And so, again, I asked, what am I under arrest for?

And for the second time, I didn't get a straight answer.

She said for the incident we spoke about earlier. So then I asked again, so what am I under arrest for? And she said, child -- or reckless endangerment. Which my attorney has told me is not even a thing that exists in Georgia. It could have just been her misspeaking.

But the point is -- and at that point I was going to ask, you know, what -- what was reckless?

What led to this?

I was going to ask for a warrant, that they basically forced me to turn around. Put my hands behind my back.

And they weren't going to answer anymore with any more questions.

GLENN: That sounds like the Soviet Union. Yes, go ahead. David.

DAVID: Yeah. And Brit knows from the body cam. What we heard is Brit said, last time I checked, it wasn't illegal for a kid to walk to the store.

And remarkably, the deputy immediately says, it is when they're ten!

And I -- I assure everybody, it's not illegal for a 10-year-old to be out and about walking. Not in the state of Georgia, it's not. For a deputy to say, it is illegal when they're ten.

GLENN: I grew up in a different time. So make no mistake.

I'm 60.

I think at about six, I went to the store, for a pack of graduates, for my dad.

I mean, at ten. At ten, you could have bought a gun and bullets!

But now, you know, God forbid, in a town where, many my town of 450 people.

Kids can drive trucks, down the road, because it's a farming community.

Stop treating children, like they're morons. Anyway, go ahead.

BRITTANY: Yeah. Well, the point I was going to make is that when I went to jail, I still didn't understand even though I had asked multiple times. I didn't know really what I was being arrested for.

I didn't find that out, until I got to jail, had already been stripped down and changed and fingerprinted.

And body cammed. And all that stuff.

And then they hand me the arrest warrant.

So at that point, I was ready to read it, and understand what -- what they thought was the justification for arresting me.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

Could I just ask, what is this sheriff's name?

The sheriff. Not the deputy. The sheriff of your county.

BRITTANY: So the sheriff of Fannin County is Dane Kirby. And he's been the sheriff for quite some time. I don't know exactly how many years, but several terms.

GLENN: Probably time for him to go away. When is he up for reelection? Do you know?

BRITTANY: I think --

DAVID: Yeah, it's not necessarily -- matters.

I mean, you know, the people in the county can likely become informed, and decide what they will do. But we don't take a stance about his election, or his culpability.

GLENN: Oh, no. No, no, no.

I'm not suggesting you do.

I am. I am -- I am an advocate of sheriffs that follow the Constitution, sheriffs are there. To protect the people of their county.

From out of control government entities.

If they become out of control, the people have the right and the duty to remove them!

So if you happen to live in this county, and your sheriff is Dana Kirby.

I don't know what you're doing.

But I would be out -- I would be -- I would be -- there's only 300, what?

70-some doors to knock on.

I would be knocking on every single one.

Including his. And saying, we need to get this sheriff recalled.

But, anyway, I digress.

DAVID: It's a bigger county than 370. But I get your point. It's an extraordinarily valuable point.

Let me throw this in, while we're talking about following the Constitution. Really, really significant, the statute Brent was charged with violating, is actually called reckless conduct. And, hey, in 1997, the Georgia Supreme Court held that statute unconstitutional because it's too vague and gives law enforcement too much power. So how about that? 1997. You would think in what's -- 27 years? Law enforcement in Fannin County would figure out that that statute doesn't apply.

GLENN: What's the name of this county again in Georgia?
DAVID: Fannin. F-A-N-N-I-N.

GLENN: F-A-N-N-I-N?
BRITTANY: Yes.
GLENN: Fannin County in Georgia.

Okay.

So what's next for you?

BRITTANY: Well, right now, we're just kind of in limbo. There's not been any real communication from the county. There's been no offers put on the table, or anything like that.

So really, kind of it's up to them, you know, what happens next.

They have multiple options that they could, you know, decide on. But in the meantime, you know, David and I have just been kind of raising awareness. Because before this happens to me.

I was living in the dark. I had no idea that this was even possible to happen to anybody. Review and since I kind of went public, and, you know, I've just been getting comments.

I've even gotten some cards in the mail and emails, and stuff like that.

From people all over the country, who some of them have found themselves in a similar situation, you know, at some point.

And so it kind of opened my eyes they can't be this is something that does happen.

That I think just a lot of us parents didn't even realize it was a possibility that was happening.

And so I'm just trying to bring that to light. That, you know, we do still have to kind of fight for our parental rights. And make sure that those are something that we get to hold on to.

Because I found that no matter which side of the aisle, people are on. Whether they want to be overprotective. Or let their kids be wild and free.

Both sides don't really want the government involved.

They want to be able to make those decisions as parents. And so it's just been interesting to see. Even though we might have philosophical differences on how to approach parenting. That we can still agree on that same thing.

GLENN: I mean, if you're sending your kid out to go to the store, to pick up some extra ingredients, so you can cook crack in the basement. That might be a problem.

But letting your kid go for a walk, to the store is absolutely normal. The country is out of control, when it comes to everybody and everything is a danger.

It's not. We're creating a society, where kids are -- are still kids, when they're 30 years old. And they don't know what to do.

Give your kids credit.

DAVID: You're on point there.

Absolutely. Let me throw a plug in for an organization called letgrow.org.

And they published statistics and advocate for parents providing more responsibility and freedom for their children, because it's better for kids.

And one of the things they at that they do is dispel this notion, that kids are going to be kidnapped and snatched off the side of the roads. So you should never let your kids be alone.

CDC, to the extent that anybody protects the CDC. But the CDC far and away, the most danger that a child is in, is when they're in an automobile.

So what did this deputy do?

Put them in a car, and driving him, during which could have been an arrest.

And even maybe, more -- more dangerous. Could have been one of those calls. Shots fired.

Officer down. This deputy would have been wheeled right to the scene. And taken this kid right into an active shooter.

Don't put kids in the back of a car, because you will give them a ride home. Leave them alone!
