Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Show's packed today. We started with Spirit Airlines. You know, what is happening? And by the way, thank you, progressives, for making people's lives better yet again. How? How exactly? They claim that Spirit Airlines not merging would be a victory for the Biden administration. And if the Biden administration's idea was, you know, to make people's life harder, congratulations.
And I guess it is a victory for you. But if you are actually looking out for the little people, Spirit Airlines going out of business today. is a huge problem. But that seems to be the track record when we look at that. Also, Harmeet Dhillon was on with us today. We have Carol Roth. And we talked about this pattern of violence. The assassinations are a problem.
What's happening in our political class is a problem. The fact that President Trump is traveling to China, one of our biggest enemies, I think might be a big problem. I hate to say it out loud, but I don't think the president should go to China.
Maybe that's just me, but I want to lay out the facts on what's really happening with violence in our country and where is it coming from all on today's podcast. As America turns 250 this year, there's a lot of talk about the founding fathers and declarations and big moments in history, and that's all good. But there's another group of people who built this country, too.
People who never signed a document. They just showed up before the sun even came up. American ranchers. Their legacy is what Good Ranchers is built on. They're 100% dedicated to America every single step. Every cut is sourced from local American farms and ranches. From the pasture to the final seal on the box.

You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Well, Saturday, we were in New York at Ellis Island. It was an amazing event. Amazing event. Love for you to see it. We'll play some highlights. You can find it on demand now at glennbeck.com slash torch and make sure you see it. It was stirring. It was amazing to be there and celebrate America's 250th. We had several people that were supposed to be there because of security concerns.
They didn't make it. One person who did make it was Harmeet Dhillon, and she's the one I want protected most in the government because I just I absolutely love her. She is our assistant attorney general. She is running the civil rights division. She's with us now. And Harmeet, let me just start before we get into the news of the day.
Well, thank you for coming and thank you for sharing your story of being a legal immigrant in the nation.
Well, thank you so much for having me, Glenn, and for your warm introduction. It was a very moving event and the stories you told about the president's family and your own family were also very moving and just demonstrate how important our history is and respecting it and keeping it legal. And so I'm really proud to be part of that here at the Department of Justice and generally in my
law practice in life. And, uh, you know, I could not love this country more.
So you are part of the, you're running the civil rights division of the DOJ. And there's a couple of things that, I mean, I can't take the Jim Crow stuff, uh, anymore. and the lack of people noticing how the DOJ was weaponized. The DOJ Task Force report came out last week. Anti-Christian bias was real, systematic, and pervasive.

Chapter 5: How do current political tensions affect the safety of public figures?
And frankly, if they want to fight, I mean, we have records, but before anyone gets terminated here, there's a record of what they did and that'll all be a public record. So I think that is an improvement. I mean, a lot of people have
criticized me on the Hill, and Democrats have criticized me for the fact that 75% of the lawyers in the Civil Rights Division left after I became the Assistant Attorney General. That is absolutely a positive development. For one thing, most of those lawyers were biased, and no one is entitled to a forever job here. What we have now, and we're building back up here,
is Second Amendment lovers, is people who love liberty, Christians, Jews, people of faith, people of all faiths are welcome here if they are willing to respect the Constitution and commit to the civil rights agenda that's consistent with protecting all Americans, not just the favored few. And back to that weaponization report,
This DOJ put out guidance that Christians could not possibly be the victims of religious discrimination because they're the majority. That's ridiculous. That's not what our Constitution says. The Roberts Court, for all of its flaws, I disagree with some things.
The Roberts Court has absolutely, all the way up to last week's opinion in Louisiana versus Calais, has steered the ship regarding discrimination back to the center where it belongs.
Let me switch to the SCOTUS ruling on gerrymandering. If I hear one more person say Jim Crow, I think I'm going to lose my mind. I can't even imagine how you feel. What is the effect of this, and are we going after the states? I know you said you're going after enforce in every state that has radically rigged maps. You're going to enforce this. What is the plan? What does it mean?
Okay, so we're formulating what the plan means. I mean, I will tell you that the timing of this ruling is such that, you know, the closer you are to elections happening, the less leeway courts give you to make changes. A lot of these changes have to be made at the political level, and we're seeing that happen.
And when I say I'm going to enforce the law throughout the United States, I mean, that's not committing to any particular timeline because we do have to respect some of these parameters and we do have to look at the political situation.
So where some states, but mainly it's Southern states, but not exclusively are committing to redistricting, you know, they're going to go through that process, which is a political process. And the Supreme court has, has ruled that political gerrymandering is acceptable. Um, and so that's going to be happening throughout the country.

Chapter 6: What factors contributed to the rise in gas prices despite policy changes?
And so I think some of these gerrymandered districts, I mean, you know, it has consequences on both sides. What it does is it creates one very liberal district, and then all the other districts become slightly more conservative. That's generally the pattern in a red state or a southern state. Instead, what you're going to have is more competitive districts, eventually, for everybody.
I think that's actually a really good thing. Frankly, even though, of course, I'm a Republican, I go on Capitol Hill, I testify, I speak to members of Congress sometimes, and I despair at times. the difficulty one has in dislodging any of these people from their positions. Once they get elected, it seems almost impossible to replace them. We could use more change.
We could use more fresh blood in politics. And I think all Americans should view this as an opportunity to get some better people elected to Congress.
Harmeet, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Just want to say I wish you were our attorney general. I'm just throwing that out there and not asking you to comment on it. But thanks, Harmeet Dhillon, our assistant attorney general in charge of the Civil Rights Division. The last few years have taught me something that I don't think enough people want to admit.
The system we count on every single day in this country isn't as sturdy as it looks. All it takes is a little trouble in the wrong part of the world and shipping bottleneck, a shortage of one key ingredient, major disruption overseas, and everything changes. And it's getting harder and harder to find the things that you need.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. All right, I want to play a couple of things for you. You know, it used to be really simple. If somebody tried to kill the president, you know, it looked like one guy, one gun, you know, they try. You could point to it. You could understand it. You could explain it to your kids.
But I think that world is absolutely gone. We're looking now at something really different. Because when you line up the attempts on Donald Trump's life, and there's a new story out on our show prep today. You can get it for free at GlennBeck.com. Sign up for the show prep. There's a couple of stories in there about assassinations and what is coming and how bad it is.
This president has been targeted officially now more than any other president in history. They have tried to kill him more than any other president in U.S. history. And what we're seeing is a progression. It's a pattern. Let's start at the beginning. In 2016, a man at a rally in Las Vegas tried to grab a gun from a police officer and shoot the president. That's the old model. What was her name?
Squeaky Fromm. Remember her? Tried to kill Gerald Ford. It was impulsive. It's fast. It's rash. It's the old model. It's the old school. Back in my days, we tried to grab a gun. It's close range. It was desperate. 2017 comes along. Things start to shift. A man tries to attack Trump's motorcade with a forklift. Now think about that.
To me, this is the difference between planting a bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center and then that not working and then trying to fly airplanes into the side of the building five years later. The bad guys now are starting to think about
disruption and spectacle by 2020 we're not even in that room anymore letter arrives 2020 ricin meant to kill through the mail distance now is entering the picture you don't need access you just need to find a way to get proximity you need a system a way to exploit it and then everything begins to accelerate from there Now 2024. Planned, well thought out, strangely, seemingly very easy.
Butler, Pennsylvania. Back to the movie, Assassin. You know, the story is one gunman, rooftop, and a rifle. And this time, it almost works. It almost works. A bullet hits Trump's ear. I mean, if that's not an act of God, I don't know what is. One supporter is killed. Others are shot and wounded. This is no longer chaotic. This is planned, well-planned, and calculated.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the DOJ's findings on religious discrimination?
That roof was left empty and unguarded. Really? How? Two months later, two months after that assassination, same year, West Palm Beach. Man hiding in the bushes at the golf course with a rifle. Waiting, watching. This is not anger anymore. Now they're stalking him. And behind the scenes, federal prosecutors uncover a plot tied to individuals linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
This is two years ago. And not just Trump, but multiple U.S. leaders are targeted. I want to say that again. It's important because I'm going to tell you the latest. Not just Trump, but several U.S. leaders are targeted by the Iranians. Now that's a different category. Again, that's not a lone actor. That's geopolitical. That's foreign terrorism. And yet the media is silent on that one.
Nobody even brings that one up. Why is that? We're at war with Iran. You would think that that would be a layer. Then we go to the last one. Washington, D.C. Man forces his way into a room filled with the most powerful people in government, armed. Let me say that again. Gee. filled with the most powerful people in government, and he was armed. He fires. Secret service agent is hit. Survives.
But I want you to think about the target. It's not a rally. It's not a golf course. It's a room full of the leadership of the United States. That's not an assassination. That's destabilization. Had it worked, that's destabilization. That is the constitutional order being disrupted. Because who was in that room? That could have been a decapitation event of our government.
Okay, it wasn't, but it could have been. And if that guy could get in, what's stopping people with real money and from Iran getting in? I mean, remember, oh, well, they can't do that. Who's going to fly planes into buildings? Well, I don't know. And why is the media treating it like this? Because along the way, there's been other lesser, you know, known pieces of this pattern.
You know, an armed man breaching Mar-a-Lago. When was that? Six months ago? A plot tied to ISIS sympathizers. Again, foreign-directed attempts stopped before execution, but foreign-funded. Some succeed in getting close. Some never make it out of planning. But they're all signals. They're all signals. Why aren't we listening to the signals? Well, let me give you an example.
Let me go to the audio from today. Sarah, if I can. Let me see if I can find my audio sheet. Let me play. Let me play. Where is it? Here. Here's a Michigan Democrat. I believe running for Senate. Yeah, running for Senate. OK, here he is this weekend. Cut one.
Did you personally see parallels between Nazi Germany and what's happening under the Trump administration? Yeah, I do. It is deeply concerning that we see an authoritarian slide. And as we talked about earlier, dividing people against each other to convince people that if you're not doing well economically, it's somebody else's fault is an incredibly dangerous place for us to be in.
I don't think that a lot of people would argue that there are shades of authoritarianism here that we need to be deeply concerned about.
