The Glenn Beck Program
Deep Dive
Why does Richard Staropoli believe President-elect Trump is still in danger before the inauguration?
Staropoli argues that the Secret Service has allowed its political feelings to compromise its mission, leading to multiple security breaches around Trump. These incidents, including a Chinese national walking onto Mar-a-Lago property, have been viewed as tests of the Secret Service's response. The agency has not fulfilled its primary mission, leaving Trump vulnerable to organized threats, especially in the next 40 days before the inauguration.
What specific security improvements has Glenn Beck observed around Trump recently?
Beck notes that he has never seen such intense security around Trump, particularly at Mar-a-Lago, with extensive measures in place. However, Staropoli points out that while the visible security has improved, the Secret Service is still lacking in covert measures, such as air assets and military support, which are critical for protecting against organized threats.
What does Richard Staropoli suggest is missing in Trump's security?
Staropoli highlights the lack of air assets, such as helicopters and military jets, which are essential for extending the security perimeter and protecting against aerial threats. He also criticizes the use of old school buses to protect Trump's plane, which he considers inadequate against potential rocket launcher attacks from cartels or other hostile entities.
Why does Staropoli believe the Secret Service is stretched thin?
Staropoli notes that the Secret Service is providing protective details to nearly 40 individuals, including members of the Biden family and high-ranking officials like Kareem Jean-Pierre and Admiral Kirby. This diversion of resources away from Trump's protection is a conscious decision by the Biden administration to subvert resources from where they should be allocated.
What does Staropoli suggest as a solution to the Secret Service's issues?
Staropoli recommends bringing in a new director who commands respect from the rank and file, has extensive experience in the Secret Service, and possesses business acumen to manage the agency's large budget and workforce. He also suggests that Trump could hire additional private security, which the Secret Service would have to work with, potentially forcing the agency to improve its performance.
What are the three stories Glenn Beck finds particularly alarming?
Beck mentions three alarming stories: the U.S. government losing trillions of dollars without knowing where it went, an Australian lab losing 323 deadly virus samples, and the U.S. potentially running out of missiles in a matter of weeks in a war against China.
What does Alan Dershowitz argue about the Daniel Penny verdict?
Dershowitz believes the not guilty verdict in the Daniel Penny case was the right decision and sends a powerful message. He also suggests that the hung jury in the case was likely leaning towards acquittal, with a split of 10-2 or 11-1 in favor of acquittal, which was reflected in the quick verdict on the second count.
What does Dershowitz say about the presidential pardon power?
Dershowitz explains that the presidential pardon power is the only remnant of British rule in the U.S. Constitution, granting the president absolute power to pardon without restrictions. He notes that it has been abused in the past, such as with Ford's pardon of Nixon, and that Biden's pardon of his son Hunter was a mistake as it opens him up to potential testimony in future investigations.
What does Senator Mike Lee say about the presidential pardon power?
Lee argues that the pardon power, while kingly, is essential to mitigate the cruelty of the law and prevent excessive punishment. He believes it is better to have this power as a backstop for legal abuses, even though it can be abused. However, he criticizes Biden's pardon of Hunter, as it makes him vulnerable to subpoenas and testimony in future investigations.
What archaeological discoveries in the City of David support the Bible's historical accuracy?
Discoveries include the Pool of Siloam, the Pilgrimage Road, and evidence of King David's palace. Additionally, a stone slab from the Tel Dan excavation mentions the
- Inadequate Secret Service protection for President-elect Trump
- Insufficient manpower and resources
- Concerns about organized threats
- Lack of military assets for protection
