Why Biden's MASSIVE expansion of the IRS should WORRY YOU

The latest bill being pushed by Democrats — The Inflation Reduction Act — includes within it a MASSIVE expansion of the IRS. How much will the federal agency grow? President Biden wants to hire 80 THOUSAND new agents. Carol Roth, author of ‘The War On Small Business,’ tells Glenn this expansion is NOT to target billionaires committing tax fraud, like Democrats may claim. No, she says, this IRS expansion likely is to target YOU and other middle class Americans who refuse to comply with our far-left leaders in power…

GLENN: Biden is seeking an extra $80 billion. This is on top of the other spending. This is $80 billion, in extra funding, for the IRS, to crack down on tax evasion by those billionaires. Which, not a chance. You just tweeted, they're only going after the billionaire and the wealthy crowd. The government consistently enables wealth transfers to the wealthy. You think that's what they're going to change?

Who has the bucks to support the lobbying and their reelection? Really?

They're going after that. Biden hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to go after 800 or 900 billionaires? Enjoy your audits. What's this about?

CAROL: Yeah. I hope everybody is prepared. This is very frustrating. The Democrats like to pretend that they're the party of the middle and working class. And the Biden administration has continued to find ways to extract wealth from the middle and working class. We saw it in the American rescue plan. They raised the reporting threshold for any sort of hobby sites you might have. To potentially get the flags for audits up. It went from $20,000 on an e Bayer, Etsy down to $600. Now, and this was part of Build Back Better, which we thought was dead. But now is just coming back in pieces. This piece has survived. $80 billion for the IRS. Over which half of that, as you said, is going to hire 87 thousand agents, for enforcement. Okay? We don't need 87,000 agents, to go after what was 800 or 900 billionaires. It might not even be that much anymore. Now that the stock market has gone down. So who do you think they're going after? They want you to buy into this. They want you to buy and say, yes. Those people need to pay their taxes. And as soon as you give them that approval and that money, they will come after you. And regardless, you should pay your taxes that are due. But that doesn't mean that you're not going to get an audit. And that doesn't mean you're not going to have to justify every single thing you can do, and waste your time and money, so they can extract a few more dollars from you.

GLENN: We know from the Obama administration, they politicized the IRS. We also know, that they just bought 700,000 dollars' worth of bullets, for the IRS.

That is really frightening. 87,000 new auditors, going out to, what? Small businesses of America. They're not going after the rich. They -- you know, they're not going to go after the poor either. But they're going to go after anyone who, A, disagrees with them. And because it's now public/private partnerships. Any business that doesn't agree with them.

CAROL: Yeah. This is really, really scary. In fact, now that my tweets have sort of gone viral. I've never been audited before. But I'm certain that I will be next time around.

GLENN: I was audited under the -- under the Obama administration, for the very first time. So that was fun. That was fun.

CAROL: Yeah. And they do. And they politicize it. And the crazy thing, are the number of people who gave feedback and said, well, if you're not a tax chief, what do you have to worry about?

And you hit the nail on the head, Glenn. Is the politicization of this. They're going to come after people. They're going to harass you. They're going to tie up your time and money. And regardless of whether you've followed the rules or not. There's a great Warren Buffet phrase. If the cop follows you for 500 miles, at some point you're going to get a ticket. It's the same kind of thing. They will find something. Because you have to justify it. And even if you're in the right, they still have a final say. Now like I said, now they're loading up on ammunition. So what exactly is it that they're going to do?

GLENN: So I think this is part of just the impoverishing. I mean, you want to take down inflation. You have to stop people's buying power. The government is spending money everywhere. So that's just going to increase inflation. But they're impoverishing us. At 2030. You will own nothing, and you will be happy. Like the World Economic Forum's plan is. You have to impoverish people. And so they're taking our money through actual taxes. Getting more Draconian on it. But they're also taxing us without representation. In inflation. It's -- it's -- go ahead.

CAROL: Yeah. I was going to say, everywhere you turn, from either side, there's either the direct or indirect taxation that impacts you on an ongoing basis. You know, it is the continual expansion of the government and the monetizing of the debt. It is the intentional causing, a deliberate causing of this rampant inflation. That lowers the purchasing power, even if you feel like, oh, I may be making a few more dollars. You know your dollar isn't going as far. Then they're going to do it through direct taxes. Then the next thing is coming, after this. And they've already started ceding this, is wealth taxes. We've heard. Oh, we'll start taxing, quote, unquote, unrealized capital gains. Or income. Which it's not. And there is an 84.4 trillion Dollar General racial wealth transfer that is going to happen in the next 23 years. This is, you know, the -- the Boomers. And those above them, who will be passing them on. Do you think the government is not trying to get their hands on as much of that as possible. Of course, they are. So they are ceding this stuff, with the billionaires, so you can see the principle, that it's okay to do it. And that is, in my opinion, what they're really after. $84.4 trillion that will be transferred from one generation to another.

GLENN: So here is. Here's the real problem of this. You know, the people will cry out for the millionaires and billionaires. But once you do that. You're violating the principle. And they can come after you for it as well. And, you know, you don't have the right, in my opinion, the progressive impact tax, is morally reprehensible. It's just morally reprehensible. The government cannot print a right to do what you cannot do. So if we all agree on taxes, it's totally fine to say, okay. Everybody pays the same rate on my block.

But it's not -- I don't have the right to tell people, you know what, they have more than you do. And I do. Right down the street in the next block. We're going to have the sheriff go. And they have to pay more in taxes, than we do. I don't have that right. I don't have that right. How does the government have the right to do it?

CAROL: Yeah. They don't. And even the rhetoric. You know, I'm a strong proponent of individual rights at the principle level. And you have people like, you know, Elizabeth Warren, who go out, and they name people. They name Musk. They name Bezos. We're going after these people.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CAROL: Think about that. You know, assume these people didn't have billions of dollars, and you don't like them for whatever reason. The principle that somebody in Congress is specifically going after a civilian, is so morally wrong and scary. And then what if they decide to do that for you, for whatever the reason is? I mean, you cannot concede these principles. And unfortunately, we have so many people who are basically just bootlickers of the states. That they say, no, no, no. Down with this person. Down with this person. And they're the ones who will end up with the middle class and the working class, completely trashed. Because I hate to tell you this, folks. The billionaires don't have enough money. If you took the top eleven billionaires, you took away every penny of their wealth, as it's valued today, you would fund the government for two and a half months for one year, and then it would be gone. So who are they going after? Everybody else.

GLENN: It is -- you know, I talked about this yesterday, that if you look at what the government is doing. We had the strategic oil reserve full. And it was, you know, at $2 a gallon. And then, Biden comes in. And he pretty much raises -- creates a new tax on gasoline. By shutting everything down. So it costs us $5 a gallon. And we're having a hard time with it. Then he says, I'm going to take your tax money, and I'm going to refill this oil. So now the government is in competition for us, with us. For that oil. So we're going to pay. Not only for that oil again. But we're also going to pay for it at the gas pump. And it will cause a problem. But the most important thing is. And this is happening, I think with chips as well. The government is becoming the big buyer. And when you're a big buyer, you control the market. And so you control what these companies do. This -- I think they're creating pun private partnerships, while impoverishing us.

CAROL: Yeah. I mean, and we've seen this happen, it's sort of a steppingstone to the nationalization of industries. And we saw this happen in Venezuela, which was, you know, the fourth or fifth wealthiest country in the middle of the 1900s. And now the median net worth for Venezuela is zero. Because they went, and they sold it in the exact same way. They sold it with -- there's inequality. And we never to make things better. And if you give it to us, we'll make it fair. We've seen this story happen many, many times before. We see the result. This is exactly what they're doing. They only care about their power grab. That only works with the elites. Then they have the poor. There will be no middle or working class. That will be that far bell that we see throughout history. And that's what gives them the ultimate power. And it's at the expense of your freedom. Your wealth creation. Opportunities. And, frankly, the foundation of this country.

GLENN: There's still a chance that we can turn this around though, don't you think?

CAROL: I do. I certainly was. But we have to get people involved who have the fortitude, to go in and reset the system. You know, we have a situation, where the government, without any -- you know, this magical covid relief. They're projecting for this fiscal year to spend $5.8 trillion. That's like a quarter of the GDP. Like, we can't have that happening. Every dollar that the government is spending. Is taking away from the private sector is -- is just money that's being transferred one place to another. It's not productive use of Capitol. And so we need to have people, who are willing to not just talk the talk. But actually walk it. To go in, and say, this is enough. We have to change things. We can't just kick it down the road. We need real reforms. And unfortunately, we are dependent upon people to do that.

STU: So I want to ask you this. And then I will ask you this, and come back for your answer. I think most people just -- these numbers are so big. They don't understand, and they think at some point, we're not going to be able to pay it back. So it's just going to default on it. So we'll just -- bankruptcy for the United States, or whatever. That's not going to happen. We are the one country, that I think the world will demand, that we pay our bill. So can you tell -- people who might be thinking, that's not going to happen. I'm not going to have to worry about it. My kids are not going to be slaves to this debt. They're just going to wipe it clean. Can you talk about that? Because I would love to -- I've not asked your opinion on that. On which way you think it's going to go. But we'll do that next with Carol Roth. MyPillow would like to remind you, that fairytales can come true. I mean, once upon a time, there was a princess named Nancy. And Nancy went on to a journey to a far, far land. A land called Taiwan. And it was a long journey. And she got tired along the way. And she went to sleep, on the bed in her private jet. And she said to herself, you -- you know what? Nancy, little girl. You deserve a little drinky winky. And some shut-eye. And these sheets are just not comfortable at all. They're making the big drink.

Sadly, Princess Nancy's plane, for all of its luxuries, had terrible sheets. But thank goodness, you don't have to. MyPillow is having a sale on their percale sheets. Which will keep you cool and comfortable in the summer. Normal price is almost 90 bucks. Now, they're 39.98 when you use the promo code Beck. Very limited supply. So order now.

Don't forget. Tonight, 9:00 p.m. the Wednesday nature special. It's all about chaos within and what is coming. Chaos and crisis. The left's revolutionary playbook hits the American streets. That's tonight at 9:00 p.m. only on Blaze TV. I'll see you there. So, Carol, talk to me about this debt. Because we forgive debts all the time. For nations. What's going to happen with us?

CAROL: So there are only so many different options. And certainly, we could hope that we make some changes. And that we can get it under control ourselves. I don't think that's probably the most likely option. And so some of the things that are on the table, are frankly quite horrifying. And I think it might be, you know, a longer time coming. Like, nothing that's going to happen in the next two to three years. Maybe the next 15 to 20 years. But it's still a very bad thing. One thing. And obviously, this is the current tenure of the people who are in power. Is that they will just keep printing more money. Oh, we own the money printers. So we'll just print enough money to cover our debt. And that ends up devaluing our money. And we end up having money that is completely worthless, as we've seen around the world. That's one possibility. They can actually pay the debt. But not without killing the value of the dollar. That's one thing. A second thing -- oh, go ahead.

GLENN: No. Go ahead. Please. Finish.

CAROL: Okay. So a second thing is a special war. Whether it is that we start the war, as a diversion tactic. Or there happens to be another war, that we get involved with, that comes to a different reset of the monetary situation. If you think about of the different financial empires of recent times.

Whether it be the Dutch, the British, you know, then our own financial empire.

There were all these wars that basically had this reset. And people coming together. And a decision. Okay. This is how we're going to now have the monetary policy, for the world going forward. And obviously, for us, that's not a great outcome either.

GLENN: So that's what I think this is really all about. When they say, the world needs to be reset. They're really worried because china is on the brink of collapse. All of us. We've all spent too much money. And it's in everybody's best interest to try to land the plane. But they're not telling the American people this. But try to land the plane as safely as you can. Instead of just falling out of the sky. And working something out. But this is also why I think war is so scary right now. Because there is another incentive. And that is to reset the world.
(music)
That's what happened in the first world war and the second.

CAROL: Absolutely. It's a big issue. It's one of the gray swans that I've identified out there, and something people should be keeping an eye on.

GLENN: CarolRoth.com. CarolRoth.com. The author of The War on Small Business. CarolRoth.com. We'll talk to you again, Carol. Thank you so much.

CAROL: Thanks, Glenn.

"I Was Probably Drunk": Alex Jones APOLOGIZES for Calling Glenn Beck a CIA Agent

Years ago, InfoWars host Alex Jones accused Glenn Beck of being a CIA agent, and it caused some serious consequences. But in a recent BlazeTV exclusive interview on Pat Gray Unleashed, Alex apologized for the incident, admitting, “I was probably drunk when I said that,” and thanking Glenn for his work over the years exposing the global elites’ plans. Glenn responds to Alex’s apology and reveals the "peace offering" he gave Alex the last time they spoke about their past disagreements.

What We Currently Know About the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse in Baltimore

A cargo ship that lost power has crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor, causing the entire bridge to collapse. Thankfully, traffic on the bridge was reportedly stopped before the crash. But the incident has many people asking: was this an accident or sabotage? Former assistant Treasury Secretary Monica Crowley, who helped spread the word of the incident, joins the Glenn Beck Program to discuss what we currently know as the search and rescue operation continues.

GLENN: One of my favorites Monica Crowley is with us. She's a former assistant Treasury secretary. My gosh, Monica, how have they trashed that Treasury? They are just looting it like crazy. Anyway, I saw Monica, you post something this morning, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Can you tell us what happened?

MONICA: Yeah. Good morning, Glenn great to be here like always. America is waking up to real tragedy this morning. The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor, it's a massive span. And for those of us who live in the northeast, Glenn, I can tell you, I have crossed that bridge many a time, going from New York to Washington, and back, right?

GLENN: Oh, I have too.

MONICA: It is a major, major artery in the northeast. And at about 1:30 a.m. Eastern Time this morning, a cargo ship was approaching the bridge. And the video that I posted, which is now everywhere on social media.

GLENN: We're watching it right now.

MONICA: Yes. And it's all over TV as well.

GLENN: Go ahead. Yeah.

MONICA: It is a massive cargo ship. And it's under a flag, so the ship itself is registered in Singapore. And you can see in the video, that it approaches at Scott Key Bridge, and it loses power, Glenn, twice.

Not once, but twice in the moments leading up to its approach to the bridge.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

MONICA: And so, yeah. It -- it -- you can see in the video, it loses power twice. It regains power, but by that moment, Glenn. It's too late. And they can't get away from one of the massive lanes supporting bridge. And the cargo ship goes right into the piling. And the entire bridge collapses like a house of cards. just folds in on itself, right into Baltimore harbor.

GLENN: You know, I noticed, because I watched this video, a couple of times, after you posted it.

And I couldn't believe it was like toothpicks falling apart. When they had -- when you first start watching it. You'll see, the traffic is pretty steady on the bridge.

And thank God, right at the time it collapses, not a lot of cars, if any, were on the bridge. Do you know if there were cars on the bridge?

MONICA: Well, thankfully, if there's any silver lining on this horror show, Glenn, it is 1:30 in the morning. So it's relatively light traffic.

And you can see headlights of cars going both ways. And the moments the cargo ship, hits the bridge.

It looks like very few cars, if any, are on the bridge.

What we're hearing this morning, pardon me. What we're hearing is that two people have already been rescued, God bless. There are at least seven people missing that we know about.

So there is a very active search-and-rescue going on. The Coast Guard is out there. The National Transportation Safety Board is on site. The Navy is there. Navy divers are in the water, and have been there for hours.

And so we hope and pray that any victims that fell into the water in their automobiles and in their trucks, there's at least one semi that we know of, that collapsed into the water with the bridge. Glenn, so we hope and pray, that all of these people, who were part of this unfortunate accident. And at least now, it does look like an accident. And we will wait for the investigation. But we hope and pray that everybody will be rescued, and will be okay.

GLENN: So, Monica, do we know anything about the ship.

Because the first thought is. The power goes out. Then it comes back on. And the poor captain, man, you can see him just trying to turn that ship as fast as he can, when the power goes on. Then it goes out again.

Do we know?

My first thought is, is this some sort of a -- you know, a -- some sort of an attack with -- on electronics. Was there -- is there -- has anybody else thought of that? Or is it just me and my sick, twisted paranoia, I guess?

MONICA: Well, I think that too, Glenn. And we will have to wait for a thorough investigation here, in a lot of different areas.

There's one report that I saw this morning, that indicated that the crew, and apparently there was one pilot and two captains on board. And, of course, an additional crew, which you would expect for a vessel of this size and magnitude, under an international flag. Again, Singapore. And there is one report this morning, that indicates that the crew alerted the Maryland Department of Transportation when they were leaving the port, that they had lost control of the vessel. And again, I don't know how reliable this report is. But it's up on the New York Post website this morning. So, again, I don't know if that report has been vetted. But, you know, most of these vessels now, are under electronic control. Not unlike some of our voting systems. And might very well be -- might very well be open to hacking by nefarious players here.

So, again, we will to have wait and see. I mean, sometimes the cigar is just a cigar. And accidents unfortunately do happen.

GLENN: Right. And I hope that's the case. But with all the cyber terror that is predicted, I just -- you know, I know we're all on high alert for that.

Monica, thank you very much for reporting and calling in. I appreciate it. God bless.

MONICA: Oh, it's my great pleasure, Glenn. Thank you.

GLENN: So we have an update on the bridge collapse. The Fort McHenry Bridge. Very important bridge and port in Baltimore.

Here's the update that is pretty remarkable.

STU: Yeah. Apparently, the ship was able to issue a mayday, and say they were experiencing a power issue. And this enabled transportation officials to halt traffic on the bridge, at the last second.

I mean, if you watch the footage, you can see the cars crossing the bridge as normal, up until the very last second. And all of a sudden, they just stop. And you just kind of assumed, it was a break in traffic.

But, apparently, they knew something was wrong, and were able to stop it. I mean, they must have saved dozens of lives by doing that. So that's an incredible part of the story.

GLENN: These -- these -- yeah. These guys are heroes.

If you're watching TheBlaze right now, we're showing you the bridge collapse. It is absolutely unbelievable.

And you can see how the boat is trying to turn, as sharply as they can. And then the lights -- the lights come back on. They try to steer it away. And then it goes out, at the second time. And it's too late, and the whole thing collapses. It's remarkable.

Jeez. And they've now -- that port is closed. I'm not saying that this is by any stretch of the imagination, other than it reminds me of, the cyber attack on -- I think it was a Navy ship, wasn't it?

That was in the South China Sea. I'm pulling this -- I'm sorry. I have CRC. Can't remember crap.

But it was in the South China Sea. And it -- it lost control. And it made a circle.

And then rammed right into an oil tanker. Clearly controlled by somebody else.

I'm not saying this -- that's what this is. This is probably just mechanical error.

But we have to start thinking about those kinds of things now. Because they're all possible.

EVERY Constitutional Right that Biden’s New “Red Flag” Office VIOLATES

EVERY Constitutional Right that Biden’s New “Red Flag” Office VIOLATES

President Biden’s Department of Justice has launched a new office to train state and local authorities on how to use red flag laws to confiscate guns from people who could pose a “threat.” But what does it consider to be a threat? People have already accused this "National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center" of violating the Second Amendment. But Glenn believes it may violate a handful more of the Bill of Rights. Glenn reviews how the Department of Justice has sidestepped Amendments 1-6 of the Constitution with this order, along with others.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So, you know, I thought we would look at the Constitution. A caller last hour was right on the money. When he said, you know, this center, that can take your gun away, without due process. Yeah. That's -- that's a big one. That's a big one. That's a violation of the Second Amendment. But it's also a violation of many other amendments. I want to go through the -- the -- you know, just the first ten amendments.

Okay?

First of all, do you know how the Bill of Rights came about?

Listen to what they wrote.

This is at the top of the page. Resolved. Resolved by the Senate and the House of representatives of the United States of America. In Congress, assembled. Two-thirds of both houses concurring. That the following articles be proposed to the legislatures of several states, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States. So here's a group of people. Imagine this. Two-thirds, say, we believe these things should be done. But we have to send them to all of the states to ratify, and they need two-thirds to be able to pass it in their states. And then we will need two-thirds of all the states to agree. Okay?

Wow. What a process! And what are they trying to do, get themselves a raise? Give themselves more power? No.

The exact opposite. Here's what they say. The amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all or any of which articles when ratified by three-fourths of the legislatures to be valid in all intents and purposes, as part of said Constitution.

Articles, in addition to, and amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, ratified by the legislature of several states.

They're saying here, that the -- after the convention, a number of states, having at the time, adopted the Constitution.

This is in the little preamble here. Expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse its power.

So the guys in the government said, I am afraid people will abuse the power and misunderstand the Constitution.

So, quote, further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added. And as extending the ground of public confidence, in the government. Will best ensure the -- the benefit ends of the institution.

So they're saying, look, nobody trusts the government right now.

Does that sound familiar. Nobody trusts the government right now.

So we want to pass several amendments right here, that will protect the rights. And make sure that the hands are tied of the federal government.

They're saying, these are restrictive clauses. And by telling the people, we will never do these things.

Confidence will be gained. I contend, our -- our problem is, we're no longer unified on these ten articles. We no longer care about them. We no longer learn them. Teach them. Know them.

So here's article one. Amendment number one. Congress shall make no law, respecting an establishment of religion.

I contend, we are violating that right now. Because what we are celebrating is a religion.

It has a cult following. It has nothing to do with science.

Or even common sense. It has a tribunal. That will excommunicate you from society. If you don't get involved. It has rituals. It has laws, that you just must accept on faith. I know that's pushing it. But I think they're doing that. They are also breaking the second part of the First Amendment. Prohibiting the free exercise of religion. They did that during COVID. Abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. And the right of the people to peacefully assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. They don't want you standing up. They don't want you standing up. They will do everything they can to make sure you are sitting down. Enough of this Christian nationalist stuff. Enough that. Don't dismiss it. It's real. It's very, very small. But it's real.

So don't call yourself a Christian nationalist. Don't allow yourself to fall into that trap. You might be a Christian. But you are also a constitutionalist. You believe in the Constitution of the United States, and the articles of the Constitution of the Bill of Rights. You believe in all of that stuff. That's all you want.

Article II, a well-regulated militia being necessary to a free state. The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

That's the one that everyone should look to, on this particular new center from the Department of Justice. They -- well-regulated militia. Would that make sense? Would it make sense, that the people couldn't have guns? And the federal government would have a huge army? No. In fact, we never had a standing army. We were the soldiers. We would be called up to arms. So you would have your own arms. And then when there was war, you would be called up in a militia. Okay? But you had the right to protect yourself with a gun as well. No. That was for fishing or hunting. Or one of those things. No. It wasn't. No, it wasn't. Article three. I think we can skip over. Well, no. Actually, not. No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war. But in a manor to be prescribed by law. So article three, I think you could make the case. I don't think you would win. But you could make the case, that our government is quartered. Soldiers are quartered in our house. Because they are in a public/private partnership. With Amazon. And everybody else.

They are -- they are gaining access to our papers. To our letters. To our emails. To our phone calls.

That's what the government was doing, that made this article important.

The king would say. You know what, find out what those guys are doing over there.

And, you know what, just go into their house. You live there. I will quarter you into their house. So you can spy on them.

Well, it's just in a different way. But that's what's happening. Fourth Amendment. The right of people to be secure in their persons. Do you feel secure in your person?

Houses. Paper. Effects. Against all unreasonable search and seizures. Shall not be violated. It's violated all the time.

We've talked about this many times. How many people have been driving down the street. And they have money in their car. And they were going to buy another car. They will buy it in cash. And they're stopped. Their cash is taken. No due process. I think you're a drug lord. Wait. What?

No warrants shall issue. But upon probable cause. This is a general warrant. This is why they -- this is why this is in here. In article four. No warrants shall be -- no warrants shall issue. But upon probable cause. General warrants, used to be, you know, there's something going on with that guy. Go find out.

And they could search for anything. Anywhere. No. No general warrants.

You have to know, and tell the judge, I'm going in, for this document, or this particular item. And I believe it's here!

Great. So the judge will say, you can go there, in their house. And look for it. But no general warrants. You can't occasion you can't go in and just try to find something. No person shall be held to answer for capital. Otherwise, infamous crime, unless the presentment or indictment of a grand jury. Except in cases, arriving in the land or Naval forces, or in the militia when in actual service in time of war, or public danger. Nor shall any person be subject to the same offense twice, to be put in jeopardy of life or limb.

Nor shall he be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. Nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property. Without due process of law.

Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

Those are being violated, but in particular, with this new center, where they can take -- come into your house, and take your guns without due process.

Clear violation of the Bill of Rights. Clear. So you have three of them now. That have been broken just for this one law. Don't tell me I love democracy. Don't tell me you love freedom. Don't tell me you're trying to save the republic, and you love the Constitution if you're violating this many. And we're only halfway through. You're in direct violation of the Bill of Rights.

Article six, in all criminal prosecution. The accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. Has that happened with those who are still waiting for trial for January 6th?

How is it they can -- they have to wait so long?

But Donald Trump has to be done by this summer?

Why is that? Are all men created equal?

Are we -- are we -- are we looking at the people of January 6th?

With the same blind justice eyes, as Donald Trump? No. Of course, we're not.

Violation of the Constitution by an impartial jury of the state and district, wherein the crime shall have been committed.

In partial jury. If you can't get an impartial jury. What do you do?

You can't get an impartial jury, you ask for a change of venue, where you can get an impartial jury. You don't have an impartial jury pool in Washington, DC. You don't. And to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation. To be confronted with the witnesses against him. To have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor and have the assistance of council for his defense.

In this new center that they have announced, you don't get the due process.

You don't get to face the witness. You don't know the cause of accusation.

You have nothing.

On your side.

New York Court Hands Trump a HUGE Victory Over $454 Million Bond

A New York court has issued a massive ruling in the state’s fraud case against former president Donald Trump. New York Attorney General Letitia James had threatened to seize Trump’s assets in New York City if he didn’t post a $454 million bond. But the court has lowered the necessary bond payment to $175 million and given him 10 more days to post it. Plus, in a big win for ALL New York business owners, the judge has allowed Trump to continue running his businesses in NYC. Glenn and Stu review the ruling and explain why it’s a huge win.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We have some breaking news. It looks like the judge -- the panel of judges, has actually done Donald Trump a little bit of a favor here.

STU: I would say, it's -- it's a favor. I don't know if it's the right way of saying it. A massive amount of decrease in the amount of money he needed to come up with. If you remember it was $464 million. He claimed he could not come up with that amount for a bond. Went to court. Tried to overturn that. And they have reduced it significantly to $175 million.

So over a 60 percent reduction in that number. Now, of course, 175 million to my taste, is still excessive and ridiculous for what's gone on here.

GLENN: Completely excessive and ridiculous. Nothing ever like this.

STU: No.

GLENN: And as you -- as we've noted, many, many times, I did a whole show on this, on Stu Does America, where you go through the ways that this rule has been used historically. And there are no parallels, at all, to what has happened with Donald Trump. It's quite clearly and quite obviously a personal persecution, whether you like Trump or not. And so -- but this is a big difference, because he can probably come up with $175 million instead of the 464. So huge deal.

A massive victory for Donald Trump in this case. And I'm curious to see. Because Latisha James has gone through the ritual of posting over and over again the amount owed by Donald Trump, like bragging about it. Because it keeps going up, as Andy McCarthy mentioned. Was 100-some-odd-thousand dollars a day, and she just keeps mentioning it. I wonder if she will continue that process now that it's gone down by over 60 percent. We will see. Because she's been bragging about this for, you know, weeks and weeks. And now takes a massive hit. And I think a blatantly obvious one. Right?

I think anyone who looks at this, can fairly tell, this is ridiculous from the beginning. And now a big slap in the face, for this original ruling.

GLENN: I'm wondering if he could come up with the 171.

STU: I would think so.

You know, he claimed -- one filing. To have $400 million in cash. Now, he had to come up with a bond for the E. Jean Carroll thing, which was 90-something million, which would suck some of that out.

Whether he could do that, probably all himself. However, when you have that sort of money. You can also -- when you have that sort of cash laying around. You can usually get someone to loan you that. With the cash as collateral very easily.

Regardless of the process he goes through. You would think, he would be able to get this.

Again --

GLENN: If you could find a bank.

STU: Yeah. Although, you know, this -- I'm of the view.

And I've mentioned this before. This is just my own speculation. Is that Donald Trump could have come up with the $464 million.

He correctly argues, that is completely unfair.

And I think, you know, given time, he could come up with that sort of money.

But why not play this out? Why not push this as far as you can? It will take a long time, until you, actually, start seizing property. As Andy laid out a little earlier. And why not use that time, to the best of your ability, to fight this off. Because I think he's very likely to win. I think he's very likely to win in an appeal. Or at least have this reduced to maybe a dollar fine. Or 10,000-dollar fine. Or and that would be saw so what aligned with reality. I think he eventually wins this. The longer he can play this out, without having to give up resources. The better.

GLENN: You know, the one thing that is good from all of this. And I'm trying to look at the bright side on everything, as much as I can. And I can usually never find it. Because that bright side has been snuffed out long ago.

Anyway, the bright side on this. In some ways, is I don't think people really understood, what it was like, back in the Jim Crow days.

I don't think white people really understood, where -- what -- it was like, where there's not a chance you're getting a fair trial.

Not a chance.

And, kids, don't trust the police. We don't -- we don't understand that.

And now, this injustice is being served, on so many Americans. From the FBI to the Justice Department. To the -- to the court system, in Donald Trump's case. And it does give you a view on how important justice is. The kind of justice that many of us have taken for granted. Our whole lives. You know, that's -- that's all right. The courts will figure it out.

STU: Yeah. And how many times have we said lately, that the courts are the only thing standing between us and chaos? They've been probably the shining, you know, light when it comes to justice lately. As we've seen in the Supreme Court many times, to think of where this is going. And how close we are. To that precipice. We really are on the precipice of disaster, when it comes to this. I'm just -- I'm glad to see though, that at least, there's something. Like even -- even in these cases. Even with someone, like Donald Trump. Who they're obviously trying to take out. The system does have a way of -- of coming through at the end. And I think, you know, might be -- might need to go all the way to the Supreme Court. But it does seem to play out, the right way, a lot of times. I don't know. Maybe the system holds together. It doesn't feel like it will. But it has so far.
