EXPOSED: Federal agency is ROBBING AMERICANS of private land

In this clip, Glenn details a story from Oregon in which homeowners cannot reach their private cabins because the road needed to access them has been taken over by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Ben Burr, Executive Director of BlueRibbon Coalition, tells Glenn this story exemplifies a different kind of federal land grab: ‘They enact so many regulations that make it so difficult for you to access and enjoy your property that eventually you just can't afford to own it anymore. So you sell it, and then they turn it into a conservation area or something.’ It’s a unique type of tyranny that MUST be stopped. Burr explains why this issue needs national attention AND pressure…

GLENN: We have Ben Burr on with us now, he's blue ribbon coalition expert. He is watching and fighting against the federal land grab, that mainly is happening in the West.

Ben, welcome to the program.

BEN: Yeah, thanks for having me, Glenn.

GLENN: So did you look in -- I -- I had my office look into you, and ask the about the story of the homeowners that have to walk to their cabins. And nobody is repairing the road. Because it's BLM land now. Is this just another land grab?

BEN: I believe it is.

I've been working against these federal agencies for years now, and one of the common trends I see is these agencies work to dispossess property owners of their property.

And the way they do it is through what is called a regulatory taking. They enact so many regulations that make it so difficult for you to access and enjoy your property. That eventually, you just can't afford to own it anymore. So you sell it, and then they turn it into a wilderness or a conservation area or something.

It's a really pernicious form of tyranny, that exists within our public system, and these poor property owners in Oregon have been fighting BLM for two years to be able to access a road, that they've been accessing since 1906, to go to these cabins. And now BLM is telling them, they're not allowed to do it. They put up a gate. They won't get the key, and they are being prevented from going to what is essentially their homes.

GLENN: So what -- what is it that they can do?

BEN: Well, currently, we're putting a lot of pressure on the BLM, they've started an administrative process, to see if they can reopen this road. But the reason that I think this needs national attention is because there just needs to be pressure -- Congressman Bentz has been helpful in trying to get this done.

But as you know, the Republicans were in the minority last Congress. As soon as there's a majority, I'm hoping there's some Congressional scrutiny on the behavior of what's going on at the BLM office.

I just -- I don't think the BLM can be an agency that can just decide one day, that you can't go to your home anymore. And they block off a road.

GLENN: I got news for you.

I know you agree with me on this. No agency should be able to get up one day and just change the rules. No agency should do that. Congress makes the law.

BEN: They don't have to change the rules. The BLM's own rules say, like, if you look at their handbook, it says that they cannot deny a property owner access to go and use and enjoy their property.

They're not following their rules. And so -- but they are willing to play chicken. Like, so the question is: Is this going to have to go to court?

It's just frustrating that that might have to be the outcome. Because all you need is for one field managerial to change his mind, and say, they can keep using this road, they've been using since 1906.

And one thing you should know. I did help them get emergency access to go winterize their cabins one year.

There was an early breeze coming. Nobody had turned off their water. This was the first year that they couldn't go up. And we petitioned BLM, saying, can we just go up and turn off the water so we don't break all our pipes and destroy our homes?

And they were like, okay. Fine. You can do it.

So they actually drove up the road, that had been allegedly destroyed by an erosion event that happened from a flood.

The road is passable. You can still do it in a four-wheel drive vehicle. So no work needs to be done.

But the BLM just won't let them open the gate. They're telling them no. And the reason is because they're worried these four wheeled vehicles will run over fish in the river.

GLENN: Oh.

BEN: And I've hiked to these cabins, Glenn. I have a picture on our website. Of me hiking up there. The river goes up to my knees. Have you ever tried to run over a fish in a river that is knee-deep with a Jeep?

GLENN: Oh, I do it all the time. I just run over. That's how I fish. And how I take out my anger. I just drive up and down rivers that kill fish. Yeah. This is ridiculous.

BEN: And there are a few places where there are river crossings. They have been doing it for a century and more. And they're worried about the fish.

And they're just like, I don't think they'll run over the fish in their Jeeps.

I've tried to catch fish with my hands in a river when I was a kid, and it's impossible there. They're pretty -- they're pretty adaptive.

GLENN: Yeah. It's almost as if water is their element.

BEN: Almost.

GLENN: Almost. Almost.

Okay. So, Ben, is this part of -- I remember during the Clinton years, somebody was talking about Yellowstone and letting roads in and around the park degrade so people would just -- eventually just vacate that area, because it was too difficult to get to. I don't even know if that was true. That was something going on around the '90s. Is there a concerted effort in our -- in our land management agencies? To do these kinds of things?

BEN: Oh, 100 percent.

In the Clinton era, you have what was called the roadless rule, which was one of these rules, that the agencies just dreamed up. That I think if we could get it before the Supreme Court again, they would strike it down after the EPA versus West Virginia case.

Because they just made up the rule out of clean cloth. They had no congressional direction to do it. But my organization, political, that's one of the primary things we fight over, is roads.

Because if you can close roads, you can close access. That means we're not using our natural resources. It means people can't access private property.

I've helped ranchers. In the same cases, folks in Oregon tried to get up to their graving permit -- permitted land and their private properties.

And so there is a concerted effort to obliterate and decommission roads, all across the public land system. Because that's how you can turn it into what's called designated wilderness, which is you can only go and walk on it, on your own 2 feet, and you can't do anything.

No mechanized anything, on a wilderness area. And some wilderness is okay. Like the recreation region, it's probably okay to have some regions that are okay for all that. But this group that wants to close it all down, wants it all.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I have -- I have land up in Idaho. That when I bought it, it was a good thing.

It's surrounded by BLM, and then surrounded by national forests.

And I thought, that's a good buffer. And everything else. No. That's really bad.

It is literally surrounded. The road has to go through the national forest, to be able to get to my -- my ranch. That's exactly the kind of stuff they want to shut down.

BEN: Yeah. So you have neighbors, who have the infinite power of the federal government to hurt you, if they ever decide they don't want to be your neighbor anymore.

And so you and I, get into conflict with our neighbor, we go knock on their door. And we go talk to them. And we work it out. Things get really heated. Maybe we go to civil court. You have a disagreement with your government, and the government says, we don't like using that road anymore. Now you have to go up against something with a 4 trillion-dollar budget, infinite regulatory power to dispossess you of your property. And how often do you think an individual citizen wins those fights?

It's -- it's hard work. The only reason why I have any ability to know how to do it. Is because I had somebody who had been working at the agency, for 35 years, train me on how to challenge these decisions that come out of these agencies. And there's not a lot of people that know what to do or how to do it.

And so that's an open invitation, by the way. If any of your listeners ever need help with these federal land agencies. We're here to help them.

GLENN: And your federal website is sharetrails.org. Sharetrails.org.

Jason Whitlock EXPOSES What Diddy, Hip-Hop, and — BLACKROCK?! — Have Done to America

Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is in a mess of trouble after federal authorities raided his properties as part of an investigation into sex and drug trafficking allegations. But BlazeTV’s Jason Whitlock was well ahead of the story. Jason joins Glenn to break it all down: Is Diddy the new Jeffrey Epstein? Why is all of this coming out now? Will there be a cover-up? Jason also explains why he believes this goes way deeper than just Diddy: “It's about the push for nihilism…and Hip-Hop is at the forefront of that.” Jason reveals the dark side of the Hip-Hop industry and the shady groups who he believes are calling the shots. But while the Hip-Hop industry has fallen, Jason discusses his upcoming effort to build society back up: the second annual Fearless Army Roll Call men’s summit, featuring country music star John Rich, an appearance from Glenn Beck, and really good food!

GLENN: Jason Whitlock. Hello, Jason, how are you?

JASON: Glenn, awesome introduction. I appreciate that, thank you.

GLENN: You bet. And I want to talk to you about some of the things that you're going through right now. And things that you're discovering. And things you're doing this summer. I want to be joining you on one of your events, that I think is just so worthwhile.

But first, can I take you to the news, that I have not been following. And I don't know if this is important or not. P. Diddy. I don't know what the hell is going on with him. But I'm hearing talk like he is the new Jeffrey Epstein. Can you tell me this story?

JASON: Yeah. Let me tell you why it's important for you and your audience. And we unpacked this last week on my show, trying to get a broader perspective on what's going on with Diddy. And it's about the music industry. And it's about the push for nihilism. And how they have manipulated our entire American culture, to be more nihilistic. And they've done it with music, and hip-hop is at the forefront of that.

So Diddy is someone of marginal talent, who has been installed and who has been allowed to use the music industry to sexually compromise young people, celebrities, other entertainers, politicians, or whatever. But it's like this whole -- part of the realization, understand, we have to come to is like, everything in culture. Tucker Carlson talked about this a couple weeks ago.

Just about architecture.

GLENN: Yeah. Everything.

JASON: And how it's not the same it used to be.

So in all the arts, they're trying to push us through a nihilistic worldview. And they did that with hip-hop.

And P. Diddy is one of the faces. And most powerful people in hip-hop.

Again, as I expounded on, it's not just Diddy. It's like BlackRock. And vanguard.

They actually own the music industry, and -- and control the musical industry.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. The investment houses of BlackRock and Vanguard? They own the music industry?

JASON: Absolutely, from Sony Music Group. They're the most invested in the music industry through Viacom. They own BET, MTV, VH1. They're in control of the music industry.

And they also own the majority. The overwhelming majority of stock, in the private prison industry.

I think the stock name is called CXW now. It's called core Cisco. It used to be called corrections. Corporations of America.

And then they transitioned the name. And so this whole hip-hop deal was about creating a culture, where like prison is a rite of passage.

And corruption. And criminality is just built into the system, and it feeds the prison system. The private prison industry.

And it's exploded.

But more than anything. It's promoted a nihilistic view. And a view that life really has no meaning.

And it's disconnected us from our moral principles. And religious principles.

That's what Diddy is the face of. And that's why I'm glad he's getting his comeuppance. And I hope they don't do a cover-up, and not expose everyone involved. Because -- and it's not just hip-hop. Music has been headed this direction. And pushing this nihilistic direction for a long time. And this needs to be discussed and exposed.

This isn't limited to black kids or the urban inner city. The way they pushed hip-hop and made it the most popular music in the world, and they pushed it in sports and pushed it everywhere. It's affecting everyone.

GLENN: I have to tell you, they're doing it now, to the last bastion of decency in entertainment.

And that is in Nashville. Country music.
It is going woke, and ugly.

And, you know, I -- they are -- they have just invested everything. They're tearing it apart.

I mean, you listen to popular music now. I mean, imagine the last time, we went through this revolution kind of spirit with Marxism.

It's back in the '60s. And you had artists that were singing really uplifting stuff.

Some of it was garbage. But some of was just an empowering movement. You listen to movement now. And it is disgusting. It is all about -- I mean, I challenge you, to listen to -- especially hip-hop. And -- and some popular music of that genre. And I challenge you to find a song that isn't talking about somebody's butt or putting something in somebody's butt. It's incredibly degrading.

JASON: Glenn, for someone like myself, who is 56, and who grew up on R&B music. R&B music used to be a lot of romantic love songs. You can't find in R&B or hip-hop, love is not remotely on the table.

GLENN: No.

JASON: You go to the Billboard, top 100. Love -- it's not about love. Not remotely on the table. If you want to listen to music that promotes love between a man and a woman, you have to go listen to music made in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. It's just stand up. This is intentional. They just removed love from the culture.

GLENN: I know. I know.

So, Jason, what is Diddy accused of doing?

JASON: You know, drugging, raping young girls and young men. Sexually compromising and leveraging the entertainers that work for him. Employing a cleanup man named Fayed Muhammad (phonetic), who if you're familiar with the TV show, Ray Donovan, if you've ever watched that on Show Time.

This guy would go up and clean up the crimes that Diddy and/or any of his entertainers were involved in. And there's these two lawsuits. One that he settled, but the second one with this Rodney Jones that he hasn't settled. There's allegations of shootings and murders and things like that. That have been cleaned up by this guy.

Diddy --

GLENN: How does that happen? How does that happen?

JASON: Not my world, so I would only be speculating. But yeah. These are the types of allegations, that have been going on. And, again, Diddy sexually compromising, forcing his entertainers into having sex with him. With men. With women.

And then using his house and cameras, everywhere in his house. So when he would throw these parties, if there were celebrities or politicians or prominent entertainers there, he would have everything reported. And so those people would be compromised.

GLENN: Wow.

JASON: So, yeah. They're calling him the Jeffrey Epstein of the music industry. And I don't think it's a bad label.

But, again, this is -- Diddy comes from a compromised background.

His father was a drug dealer, who in the '70s, who got busted. And I think snitched on some other drug dealers. And then got murdered when Diddy was just three years old.

And so what the rap music world really -- where they fish for talent. Are in all these broken. Compromised. Dysfunctional homes.

So Diddy likely sexually abused, when he was a child. And obviously, father murdered. Didn't grow up in an ideal environment. He will do anything for money. And that's why he gets installed and promoted and put in a position of power, because he's easily controlled, because he comes from a background where the values just weren't instilled. And again, this whole nihilistic view of the world, and all the -- the breakdown of the nuclear family that they've pushed, they're destroying the family structure, so that our kids are more vulnerable, and will be more easily seduced into wickedness and a lack of morality.

GLENN: So last question, and I have to take a quick break, and then come back. Because I want to talk to you about your event.

So why now?

Why has he gotten away with this for so long, and now it's just coming out?

JASON: That's a great question, Glenn. And I would -- my only explanation at this point, is that I think we're in that time, where -- my biggest --

GLENN: These things are troubling.

JASON: Yeah. My biggest explanation is, that I don't think we fully recognize all the dominoes that Trump knocked over.

GLENN: Yeah.

JASON: Just by saying, fake news and making us like willing to question everything.

GLENN: Yes.

JASON: And what Trump has done is legitimatize the so-called conspiracy theorists. So now the public, I think is more ready for the truth.

And people are -- you know, filing lawsuits. And because there's independent media. There's those of us who have had the scales taken off of our eyes.

Willing to talk about it and expose it.

But, again, I don't want to make too much of Trump. But he's really consequential in giving all of us the courage to say, man, we have to look at things in an honest fashion.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. Back in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

You need to be able to trust them.

And, you know, I don't mean people saying, yeah. We don't call it that anymore.

But I certainly was mind somebody who is like, oh, my gosh. I am with these racists.

So Jason is doing his second year of roll call. He's doing a roll call. A call to all men, to step into the roll of men. And, you know, learn. How to be a man. And what that means in today's world. It doesn't mean an alpha male. It means somebody who understands the righteous dominion that a man has, and the important role, that they play, along with women, and their righteous dominion. And so this is happening where, again, in -- in Nashville, Jason?

JASON: Here in Nashville.

Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st.

Glenn, my vision on this, is -- is, I'm trying to create an event, where men come together, across our little petty differences.

Skin color. Some of us may be of different faith denominations. But we're all believers of God. And we all have to understand.

And this is why I'm so pleased, that you're coming to speak.

Is because this year, we're focusing on trying to tell men, hey, there are sacrifices that we will want to make, if we want to restore this country. If we want to have a world that's better for our kids, than what -- than what we found.

And so I don't think anybody, that I know in the media space, understands the sacrifices, that were made, to make this country great. Better than you.

And if we're not reminded like, people made incredible sacrifices for us to enjoy this freedom, and that means we to have make some sacrifices, to protect it. To restore it.

And so that's what I want to you talk about. Give us a bit of a historical perspective of on -- because I think we've -- rost the willingness to sacrifice.

I think too many of us have been enjoying what we were given. Rather than protecting what we're given.

And so whether it becomes the -- some financial sacrifices. A smaller home. Or just the willingness to stand on truth and speak out.

And deal with the consequences.

And quit worrying about someone calling you racist or an Uncle Tom or a homophobe or this or that. Stand on truth.

Be willing to make that sacrifice. To improve this culture.

GLENN: Well, that is the first time I've heard. Because I agreed to do this.

But I hadn't talked to you, about what I want you to speak about. I will give you a rip roaring talk on sacrifice.

And what it has taken to get here. And what our responsibility is now. I -- I can't wait for that.

And I'm speaking on Saturday, June 1st, I believe, right.

And --

JASON: Let me throw in one other thing too, Glenn, I forgot to mention. I partnered this year in moving forward with John Rich. The country music star.

GLENN: Oh, I love him.

JASON: Many people know John. Big and rich. He's made some incredible music. Gospel music. Christian music. So the idea is music and food are things that we can all come together on without worrying about --

GLENN: Yes, we can.

JASON: You know, our differences.

They're two things that really bring us together.

They've ruined sports. And now that divides us as well.

But everybody loves good music. Everybody loves good food.

And we're inviting everybody that loves God, to come join us, let's get together. Let's prove everybody wrong.

And let's prove the other side wrong, that as men, we can come together. Put our differences aside. Celebrate God.

Listen to some good music. Hear some inspiring speeches.

And eat and enjoy Nashville. I think it will be powerful.

GLENN: You've got it. Okay. So you can get your tickets now.

There is a special price. Early bird price on them right now.

That ends this weekend.

Midnight this Sunday, you can get your tickets. Bring your -- bring your son.

Bring your friends.

It is a -- a weekend for men to get together.

And step in to their roles.

As men.

So get your tickets now. Early bird special. They will go up. Starting Monday.

But right now, you can get them at a special rice. Go and find that now. And I don't have the address. Where do you buy those tickets, Jason?

JASON: Fearlessarmyrollcall.com.

GLENN: Got it. Thank you.

Biden’s Crackdown on the Internet Is WORSE Than You Think | Glenn TV | Ep 343

We’re being played: The Left isn’t “saving democracy,” and the internet is NOT free. The Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court case is just the tip of the iceberg. The pro-speech plaintiffs argue the Biden White House colluded with social media platforms to censor speech they don’t like. Speech on topics like COVID origins, masks, vaccines, lockdowns, the Hunter Biden laptop, climate change, mail-in voting, and election integrity. There is much more of this censorship in our future. Thanks to a FOIA request and eventual lawsuit brought by America First Legal, AFL was able to uncover a report by U.S. Agency for International Development that was intended for internal use only. Glenn digs into this report called the “Dis-information Primer,” which provides a disturbing insider’s view of our government’s strategies for dealing with rampant so-called “information disorder.” And instead of debunking speech it doesn’t like, the government employs a strategy called “pre-bunking.” Wait, what?! We are up against a SPRAWLING network of government agencies, think tanks, and the largest companies in the world, all collaborating in multiple ways with the same end-goal: to censor unapproved speech in media and especially online. And you can bet voices at Blaze Media will be first on the chopping block …

Megyn Kelly: The ONLY 2 Ways Trump Can Beat a Corrupt Legal System

Former president Donald Trump is facing a handful of massive trials, including two that are being prosecuted by extremely partisan attorneys. Megyn Kelly joins Glenn to explain just how unprecedented this is. In New York, Trump is facing a hush-money case where if he doesn’t pay a $175 million bond, Attorney General Letitia James (who ran on a promise to prosecute Trump) has threatened to take his properties. And in Georgia, he’s facing an election interference case run by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who has apparently declared herself the “face of the feminist movement.” Megyn gives quite the response to that news and also explains the only 2 ways she believes Trump can survive these blatantly partisan attacks.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Oh, Megyn, Megyn, Megyn. How do you feel about Fani Willis? I want to quote. Because, I mean, she finally came out. She recognized it. She described herself yesterday, as the face of the feminist movement, and the face of women. She said, I feel more love.actually I have a lot of support from women. And that kind of surprised me. I'll tell you this, especially well African-American women who will just come up to me and say, we're so proud. You're such a great representative of us. But I would be lying to say, it was only African-American women. I've had Caucasian women, Asian women, Indian women. I didn't think I was the face of the feminist movement. But somehow, I've become it. Wow. That's --

MEGYN: Oh, my God. I just threw up a little in my mouth. I feel about Fani Willis the way I feel about Kamala Harris. These people cannot be feminist leaders or the face of female success, because they're too dumb. It's too bad for womankind. We can't allow it. Kamala Harris cannot be the first female vice president or president, God forbid. And Fani Willis is not the face of womanhood. What does that mean?

The face of woman hood is do a piss-poor job of managing your money. Wind up flat broke, despite the fact that you have a law degree. Decide to see the world anyway, by getting some guy, who you are -- who is married to another woman, and letting him take you all over the world on his dime. And then lie about it under oath? That's not -- no. She's not my representative, nor most women's.

GLENN: So do you believe her, that she's hearing that? I guess in small numbers, maybe. But there's no groundswell support for her, is there? Am I missing --

MEGYN: You know what, you're only saying that. Because you don't hang out in hard left circles.

I'm sure she's an icon to people who absolutely hate Trump. And think that Jack Smith is a hero. And Letitia James is one. And Alvin brag.

That's why they love fanny. They don't know anything about fanny. They just know that she's trying to get Trump.

They think the future the republic, hangs on this woman. And she needs to be elevated the way we need to ruin Ronna McDaniel. It's opposite side of the same coin.

GLENN: So I was talking to Andy McCarthy yesterday, and he said, Fani Willis and Latisha James. Both the way they have just gone after Donald Trump -- and Latisha James,actually campaigning saying, I'm going to get him. Hire me, and I will get him. He said, 15, 20 years ago. You -- you wouldn't have had a chance. Nobody in, you know, the law industry, if you will, would have respected you at all.

You wouldn't have gotten elected. We've changed.

MEGYN: It's so dangerous. All I have to say, I go to bed at night, sleeping comfortably for now because we have six conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court for the first time that I can remember, in my lifetime. And they're the last guard, against this nonsense. They're there. And under the most egregious overreaches, they will correct things. They won't get involved in everything. But thank God we have them. Because the justice system as we know right now, is being perverted by hard partisans, who unlike, you know, as we've seen 10 years ago, to no need to hide it.

He's right, 20 years ago, prosecutors didn't even understand their job to have anything to do with politics. They understood, they would get fired if they looked at justice through that lens. Ten years ago, I think they started doing it, but doing enough to try to hide it.

That it would be considered bad form. And now they're running for office on it. So I've never seen such hard partisans in the prosecutorial decision since Mike Nifong in the Duke case. Right? Somebody who is just completely subverting justice to advance their own interests. In his case, he wanted a higher pension. And if he would get it, if he remained on as DA, in a minority/majority district. And, therefore, he sided with the back fake accuser, against the white innocent defense -- defendants on the lacrosse team. Well, that's Fani Willis. She loves being DA. She's running around telling people she's the greatest DA Fulton County has ever seen. As far as I can tell, she's not particularly talented, definitely not a very smart person. And yet, she's paying somebody ten thousand dollars a year to monitor her media references, that taxpayers are footing that bill, by the way. Because she wants to be a star. That's what Fani Willis wants. She wants you to see her as an icon. Feminism. The one who got Trump. Not the one who got justice.

But let me tell you something, Glenn, her problems are just beginning. There's a very high likelihood that Fani Willis will be disciplined including up to disbarment. That some enterprising committee, whether it's the State Senate Committee in Georgia or potentially The Bar, or someone beyond, will get their hands on the actual substantive texts between Fani and Nathan wade, putting the lie to their on-stand testimony about when their affair began. And that's to say nothing of the case she has against Trump completely falling apart, because there is no Rico violation here.

GLENN: Well, we found out from another icon of women. Another genius woman, AOC, that Rico isn't against the law. It's not a crime.
(laughter)
It's an act.

MEGYN: That's amazing. How do you grow up -- doesn't she -- she grew up in the Bronx, but she didn't. Totally. Okay.

I used to date a guy from New York town heights. It's a lovely superb. His dad is a New York City cop. He lives there. It's not the Bronx. It's in Westchester. It's very different.

So in any event, how do you grow up in any of the Five Burroughs of New York is, and not understand what racketeering is? It's kind of like our favorite crime to bring against the mobsters. It's how we no longer have as active a mob as we used to. She knows very well that it is a crime, and it is something that we use traditionally to get the mob. We have multiple players working together, to advance a criminal enterprise, which as Andy McCarthy mentioned. Said about the Trump defendants and the Rico case. Seems like the only thing they've done together is get indicted.
(laughter)

GLENN: Let me -- let me switch to another court case. The Latisha James case. Seizing of Trump's assets. The bond was reduced from 464 million to 170 million. Which everybody kind of celebrated. Oh, wow.

It's good for -- it's still 170 million dollars. Which is -- in a victimless crime, I don't understand.

MEGYN: It's completely outrageous.

There's no arguing that it's better than 54. I guess that's your silver linings. You pick the ladder. You pick 170 whatever. But, no. You're right. And, look, I think Trump should be able to come up with this, as opposed to the 450, which was scary. And might have cost him a building or two. Which is just so unjust. But it doesn't change much in a case. The injustice against him is patent to anyone who is not a hard left partisan. And what it means, yesterday.

I couldn't believe it. I mean, sometimes the media still surprises me. Was the outrage on the left, about the, quote, special treatment Donald Trump was getting.

GLENN: I know. I read that. I read that this morning. I thought, are you kidding me?

You're saying, there's a double standard for Donald Trump, and it's in his favor. That's crazy be sure.

MEGYN: Yes. Yes. Okay. Laurence Tribe is a Harvard law school professor. He's been there forever, and he's a committed leftist.

He's come on my show. When I first launched my show. He came on. And we discussed, I think it was something around January 6th. I can't remember.

But my point is, he wasn't such a lunatic, that I said, oh, I really don't want to talk to this person. It's too far around the bend. I don't want to deal with them.

He was leading the charge yesterday. About the two-tier justice system, in favor of Donald Trump. Like, they're too far gone.

And unfortunately, their prosecutors and their judges, and some of them are involved in these Trump cases. Which is why I think we understand, the fix is in.

He probably is going to lose potentially across-the-board. On all four of these criminal cases. And the two civil cases, we've already seen. The E. Jean Carroll one going against him, and now this Engoron one has gone against him. It's going up on appeal. And it's all been baked in.

I think at this point, the only thing that will save Trump, is the Supreme Court and us, in November.

Those are the two ways out of this for him. Which is pretty ironic, if you think about it, Glenn. What the Democrats want more than anything, is for him to not be president again. To not run for president again. To skulk off into the darkness. And you think made it such that he must win in order to save his life, his company, his freedom.

He has no choice, but to win. So he will fight harder than ever. I mean, it's kind of perfect.

GLENN: What do you think of Jonathan Turley?

I was thinking earlier today, there's a couple of voices I really trust, when it comes to law. One of them is yours. Alan Dershowitz and Anthony Turley. What do you think of him?

MEGYN: I love Turley. He's great. I used to put him on my show in the middle of the afternoon, when nobody was watching. And he was George Washington professor, and went to visit him a couple of times. And he's brilliant. What I love about Jonathan is he has a way with them word things, that not all real lawyers have. Some lawyers can do it in the courtroom or the brief, but they can't do it on live TV. And he's great at it. I played a sound bite from him two weeks ago, when the Fani Willis judge said, you've got to choose. One of you is going. Fani or Nathan. You guys choose. And he said, it's as if you found two crooks in the bank vault, and you only prosecute one. You know, so, anyway, I love him. He's trustworthy, and he's fair. And I don't even think that Jonathan Turley is conservative. He's just extremely fair.

GLENN: No. I don't think so. Yeah. I think he's a constitutional guy.

MEGYN: Yeah.

GLENN: Which you know constitutional people. Because if they're really based in the Constitution, it doesn't always fall in your favor. You know.

MEGYN: That's right. That's right.

GLENN: Because -- yeah. It's neutral. And sometimes we lose our way.

Can I ask you, the -- all of the stories that have come out today. There's one, I think in Rolling Stone. That talks about the structure, that the left is building, to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't cheat.

I've always felt that whatever they say, that we're doing, they're doing. And there's this amazing article about how they've got lawyers, everywhere. They're lawyering up for any crazy thing. Because he's not going to steal this election.

And their premise on why they're doing this, is because they say, he's lawyering up, and he's going to try to steal the election.

What are we facing? In -- in November? What are we facing?

MEGYN: You know, my mom said a year -- I mean, her lifetime, as a psychiatric nurse at the Albany veterans hospital.

I believe they call this transference. I'll get my psychiatric platform here. What they're doing to him.

I do think this is their best chance of winning. I think they've got more money than the Republicans do. And most of Trump's money has to go to his legal fees. Which I have to be honest, I do also think that helps him.

I also think it increases his chance of winning. People are so angry. I don't think it's a complete waste of flushing money down on legal expenses. Anyway, they have more money. They are better organized. And I think they're dirtier, and they're more afraid. They're definitely more afraid.

You know, I watched 27 minutes of Rachel Maddow last night. Twenty-seven.

I don't think I've ever done that. I said to my teens, is she always this dramatic? She reminded me of Katie Brit. Okay.

Anyway, she is telegraphing 100 percent as she has been for a while. That Donald Trump will get in office, Glenn, and is never going to leave.

That the references by Trump and others to an unfair 2020 election. Forget whether or not you think it was stolen. I think most Republicans would agree, unfair. And not entirely legit.

GLENN: Yes.

MEGYN: That that is all trying to dull the senses for the argument Trump will make when he's reelected. That we can't have any more elections. That the system is crooked. And therefore, we just have to keep him in there forevermore like a king. And that, you know, the country would just go along with that, because we're morons, and we've had the senses dulled. Those are the stakes that the left sees on Trump being elected now. So who would put anything past that group? You know, we listen to Sam Harris, explicitly.

I applaud him for his honesty. At least he's being clear about the way he feels. The left, most of these people are, you know, reluctant to actually say that. But behind the scenes, what are they doing?

I think whatever it takes.

GLENN: God help us all. Megyn, thank you so much.

We'll listen to you, again. Right after my program on XM.

Glenn is SICK of Hearing THIS About America

Glenn has heard a lot of talk lately about how Americans should hunker down and beg the government for help because the destruction of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key may affect our supply chain for a long time. But Glenn is "SICK" of hearing what America CANNOT do. Instead, Glenn asks us to remember who we are, what we've done, and who we came from. We invented skyscrapers, built the Hoover Dam, and answered the Great Depression with some of the biggest marvels of engineering ever accomplished!“Stop tearing everything down," Glenn says, "and let’s start BUILDING.”

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. I want to give you this -- I want to give you this story today. The immediate upshot for Americans on this bridge collapse. If you're waiting for a new car to come in from overseas, prepare to wait longer. The port of Baltimore stands as the nation's leading import/export site for cars and light trucks. It's also the leading nexus for sugar. And gypsum. Which is used in fertilizer, drywall, and plaster. A record 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo was transported through Baltimore just last year.

The bustling port is cut off now after the 1.6-mile bridge crumbled and fell into the river early Tuesday, blocking the only shipping lane into the port. The port is one of the busiest in the US, and saw a record of 52-point-million tons of foreign cargo transported in 2023.

The officials have said the time line for rebuilding the bridge is, quote, years. We will do everything we can to protect those jobs and help those workers, the president said yesterday. The port of Baltimore creates more than 15,300 jobs, with 140,000 jobs linked to the activity at the port. This is a major disaster, and will continue -- and will create significant problems on the east coast, for US importers and exporters. The bridge collapse will mean for the time being, it will not be possible to get to the container terminals, or a range of the other port terminals in Baltimore. The Maryland Secretary of Transportation told the reporters Tuesday, that vessel traffic in the Port of Baltimore would be suspended until further notice, but noted the port is still open to trucks. So we still have trucks going in.

As soon as we clear the bridge, we can get vessels in.

But it's going to be a major hassle for -- over time, for cars, et cetera, et cetera.

An expert on property damage cases in the shipping industry, told the New York Post, that the collapse will have a major impact, on shipping and traffic routes in the east coast, for the foreseeable future. It's not -- quote, it's not going to get fixed any time soon.

It's going to take a lot longer than anyone expects. This is going to be a major problem for the northeast. I'm sick of this. I am absolutely sick to death of all of these stories, that say things like that.

Have we forgotten who we are? Have we forgotten what we've done?

Let me just take you on a little journey here for the American spirit. A spirit so potent and so vibrant, that it has scaled towering mountains. Mountains nobody thought that they could cross. Constructed marvels of engineering. Have you ever been to the Hoover dam? The skyscraper was invented here. Here we are on the threshold of tomorrow, none of us know what is happening tomorrow. None of us. But I'm getting the impression that we've been so beaten down, that we believe we're not going to make it tomorrow. Can I just remind you of who we come from? Our ancestors what they did. Our history, if you just look through it briefly, you will see a group of people, that never take no for an answer. And can do anything. I want to stop just briefly in 1930. The great depression had its icy grip on us. It was a time like the -- where everybody felt the flickering candle. In the vast darkness. It was just barely there.

Yet, it was in this crucible of adversity, that Americans did great things. The Empire State Building rose. It wasn't just a structure of steel and stone. But it was a beacon. A beacon of hope and American resilience and ingenuity. The way that thing was built, no one has ever seen anything like it before and since. In a record-shattering one year and 45 days, an army of workers, as many as 3400 men on certain days, they transformed this audacious vision, into a cowering reality.

The guy who was funding it knew, this thing better come in under budget. And we have to get it here fast. Or this will just destroy all of us.

The Empire State Building wasn't constructed. It was conjured into existence, with a symphony of clanging metal and roaring machines. And, quite honestly, the inexhaustible spirit of its builders.

Their stories. The men who were perched on the steel girders. That were being felony in by giant cranes, and they sat there. They whispered tales about how they could still feel the warmth of the freshly poured metal beneath them. That beam was still warm, even though it was poured in Pittsburgh.

And then pit on a train, then put on a boat. Then put on a truck. Then hauled up into the air. They could fill the warmth. It was moving that fast.

It was a feverish pace of construction. It seemed to defy the laws of time and physics.

For a long time, it was the tallest building in the world. An architectural achievement. It was also a declaration to the world, that America was a land where the impossible became possible. Determination. Innovation. A relentless will to succeed.

Yeah. That's all old, dusty history. Why even look at that? Pause they're not merely historical footnotes. They are blazing torches, illuminating our path forward. They remind us or are supposed to remind that you say when we're faced with adversity, we don't just endure it. We overcome it. We don't wait for history to chart our course. We write it with the sweat of our brow and the strength of our backs. That's who we are.

Have we forgotten that?

It's going to be years. We find ourselves at another crossroads, America. Faced with the challenges that threaten to dim the bright future that we all dream for, for our nation, for our children.

The spirit that build the Empire State Building, that laid down miles of railroads. That cut through the Rocky Mountains.

That sent astronauts to the moon.

It's still inside of every heart of every American, somewhere. Awaken that spirit.

Scale new mountains. It's not just rock and earth. Scale the mountains of innovation and stainability.

Build. Not just physical structures. But a future that upholds the spirit of adventure and hard work and ingenuity.

Stop tearing everything down, and let's start building.

Well, we might have another president. You know, who is out there? Who could we?

Why are we waiting? If this isn't a national emergency, I don't know what it is. And I don't mean the bridge. I mean all of it.

Well, our government has to lead. Really? Really?

Does it?

Maybe that's our problem. America is led by its values and its principles, that are found in the soul of those who still remember who we are, and who we serve.

Americans led the way. The government always follows.

Yeah. Well, we can't act without them.

Bullcrap. Where are the bridge builders who will stand up today, and say, I'll get it done?

As soon as that happens, you'll see who is leading, and who is stalling. The government is the one that stalls the engine out. To expect more from our leaders is rational. But to expect the most from ourselves, is essential.

We are the architects of our destiny. We are the builders of our dreams. There's a huge task that's right in front of us. I still believe we can tackle that. We can overcome anything.

The history of America is a tapestry, woven with the threads of bold endeavors. Monumental achievements. Blood, the blood spilled at the Empire State Building, and every other path to greatness. Let's harness the potential, not for glory. Not look at us. Oh, we're the best. We're the best. But because we understood -- we understand that in the pursuit of a better world, action is not just an option. It's our duty.

I often wonder, as I look into the horizon now, in today's America. Is that a sunset or a sunrise?

It depends on you. If Americans rise with the determination that carried our forbearers through the trials and tribulations. If we build with love and compassion and an unbreakable commitment to the spirit of daring adventure and hard work and ingenuity, we restore ourselves and our country.

In the words of our ancestors that are etched in every American heart, somewhere, you can do it. You can become anything. You can do anything.

That doesn't make it easy. It doesn't mean you deserve. You deserve it. You can do it. Because it's hard. And it's in doing the hard things, that we find the best of ourselves. That's why everything that's going on is not necessarily a curse.

It's an honor to serve at this time. Because we can find the best of ourself.

We can step forward into the dawn of a new day with our eyes wide open to all of the problems of the past and the possibilities that are right in front of us.

But we have to resolve to make those possibilities our reality. We are Americans. There is nothing we can't achieve, when we all stand together. United by our dreams, and driven by the will to see them fulfilled.

Don't listen to anybody else that tells you the differently.
