Mystery at Dick Cheney's Funeral? (After Show) 11-21-25

Ready to strap in, it's going to be a heck of a ride. It's like drinking from a fire hose. Never a dull moment, but yes, you'll hear the stories you won't hear anywhere else, and we appreciate you being here with us born today. I'm Justin Barclay. Welcome in to the after show. The show after the show. Never at all moment, never enough time to get to it all, but that's what we made this for you, the after show. Strap in, folks. Hey, by the way, check a look at the store. If you haven't, there's some great shopping opportunities coming your way. The Justin Berkeley store at justinarkley.com. We're getting into that season. Black Friday. Deals, deals, new items on the way. Just refreshing it. Just putting that up in your mind just for a bit so that you can consider it. I've got a programming note. I've got to lay out for you, too, and some of the stories, again, that we did not get a chance to touch on today. And we will. Plus, I got clip after clip after clip for you. We got some fun stuff to play for you. And Iran Report. I should probably give you an update. It's a big story about CDC, and you're talking about making America healthy again. This is a big one. It's a doozy. So let's do that in more. First, programming note. And we were just asking the chat. Great question. Am I on Thursday and Friday of next week? I am not on Thursday because it's Thanksgiving. I'll be stuffing. See what I'm saying? What did you did there? Stuffing? The bird and myself? Actually, I won't be doing it cooking. So you don't have to worry about that. But I'll be celebrating with the family. Then Friday, a special treat. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to do the show like we do it normally. the stream and everything, but on Friday, we, we, I get to fill in again, the honor of filling it for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program nationwide from coast to coast and across the fruited plain. So, uh, you can listen. Now, I may do a special behind the scenes something or other.

for VIPs on locals. I'm trying to walk that through. But see, the deal is when I fill in for Glenn, I don't own that content. So I can't really stream it wide because it's meant, it's actually meant to be heard on the affiliates. That's about a best way to put it, the stations that. that air his programming. So I don't want to cheat them out of it. Go Lions beat the Packers, Melissa says. So anyway, I just throw that out there for you, just so you know and understand how this is all going to work next to us. So Thursday and Friday, there won't be a stream most likely on Facebook or YouTube or Rumble or. but I may be able to sneak one in. Maybe it will sneak one in on locals for Thursday and Friday. I'll stream Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. We'll have that kind of a good week, but I guess it's coming a little bit of a short week. So, ah, ha, ha, ha, chase. Well, I appreciate that. You know, it is an honor when I get a chance to fill in for Glenn. He's a great guy, and that program is. is incredible. All right. I have to, if I can. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this because, again, you'd probably notice I didn't today on the show. But if I can, I have to just, just a little bit of a moment, if I can, if I can, on. this whole seditious behavior punishable by death truth that was shared out by the president. The reason and the reason why is that I know that you're going to have, this is going to be something that's going to be popping up for everybody. They're going to be hammering this. They want you talking about it at the Thanksgiving table. That's all this is. They want you talking about it at the Thanksgiving table. So I just want to make sure you understand what's going on, why it's going on, and why it's such a thing anyway. All right. So President Trump, you know, he responds to the original video. Now, I don't know if you've seen the original video, but it's Elissa Slotkin, Senator from Michigan. And a bunch of these other Democrats who made the case that they believe that President Trump is issuing, essentially, is issuing illegal orders. I mean, that's the only reason you would do this. They made the case that President Trump is issuing illegal orders and that folks in the military and the intelligence community should, let's just call it what it is, deep staters, should disobey orders. Now, they parse it by saying disobeying illegal orders, but.

We know what this is. They've never said what they believe is illegal. Now, they may say that they think it's illegal for the president to send, you know, like the National Guard into certain places. Well, this is not for, you know, these folks to decide whether or not it's legal or not in an order in a situation like this. In fact, the Supreme Court gets to make that decision, and they have. We're watching right now. There's a story today, and I didn't spend any time on it. I don't even know if I had it in my stack, because I just looked at it and I went, sigh. There's another judge who's come out, these judges. These activists, judge, all this stuff back and forth. The activist judges come out and said, no, you can't. It's, it's, um, It's not right to, you can't be there in D.C. The National Guard, we're going to kick you out. That's what an activist judge has said in the latest case. Now. You and I both know these orders and these cases have already cleared other hurdles in other places. In fact, rising to the Supreme Court saying that this is okay for him to do it. And I'm going to just be clear on something. If there's any place the president ought to be able to deploy the national courts, it's Washington, D.C., folks. This is not a tough, this isn't a tough order. This is not a tough, I guess I would say an idea to understand, okay? So let's be clear. When Elissa Slotkin and the rest of them... Do this, they are essentially calling for mutiny. I'm Senator Elissa Slotkin. Senator Mark Kelly. Representative Chris Deluzio. Congressman Maddie Goodlander. Representative Chrissy Hulahan. Congressman Jason Crow. I was a captain in the United States Navy. Former CIA officer. Former Navy. Former paratrooper and Army Ranger. Former intelligence officer. Former Air Force. We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military. But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore oath. To protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Now, I want to just, I'm going to stop it here. Because I want to tell you they know exactly what they're doing. None of this is by mistake. They know exactly what they're doing. And I want to tell you why this is important. Now, this is what is known as it's a logical fallacy. In fact, this is the appeal to authority fallacy.

Well, they sort of rely on, particularly their base more than anything else. And it's just an average American. But it's tougher for them to pull this off against people like you and me, you're educated, well educated, not well, indoctrinated. But this fallacy, this logical fallacy, they appealed to authority, and they use this all through COVID as well. But the appeal to authority works like this. They have an authority figure in this case, a number of them saying, well, we served in the military. I'm the slack. I was on the C. I was in the CIA, which I don't really think helps her in this case. I don't really think that's a help. Because I think what you're saying really is that this is part of some sort of coup again in another attempt. at a coup against the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief at this point. Well, what they're counting on, though, is that you look at them as authority figures, and because they said it, even without any supporting evidence, because they don't name it. They say this president is risking, you know, he's issuing illegal orders, you know, all of that, right? And, but they never say what they are. They never say what exactly he's doing, what is doing democracy or citizens at risk or whatever claim they make. They never get into that. So, Trump, he shares this article about the story and then he says, look, it's called seditious behavior at the highest level. Each one of these traitors to our country should be arrested and put on trial. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. We don't, we won't have a country anymore. Three exclamation points. An example, quote, and this is all caps, must be set. President DJT, he signed it. Now, I agree. Because these people know exactly what they do it. Now, this, you may be able to just sort of. Defend this. This is just sort of political rhetoric. This is, you know, these people are just talking. But they're not. These people are behind this. In fact, they know what they're doing. It was timed specifically to come out at this moment. After the shutdown, after the Epstein vote, it's the next piece. You know, they throw these hoaxes out there. And this could be an attack, I guess you could consider it as well. But they throw these things out there, and they've timed them well. They know exactly what they're doing with all of this stuff. They know exactly what they're doing. They wanted you talking about this at Thanksgiving, more so than anything else. They want you saying that Trump is doing all of these things. Why? There's no list of what he's done and why. It's just they've said so. Laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. So you've got a couple of them saying you can refuse illegal orders.

Then you got one guy saying, you must. Not only can you, but you must. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. Now, who the hell has time to figure that out and send it up to the Supreme? Now, I understand there's a process for this. As a matter of fact, next week, maybe we'll dig in and have somebody actually come on and describe what the process is. And you've got to order you think is illegal and what you need to do. And usually that follows chain of command and have to talk about it. and all of that. But on the battlefield or in a situation like what they're describing, and in the intelligence community, particularly, right? They talk about dog whistles all the time. This is a dog whistle saying, we got your back. We're going to run cover for you if you break the law. That's essentially what it is. They're saying, calling on all traitors. Calling on all trade. Come on out, traders. We know this is hard. And that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy. It's not hard. And it's not a difficult time to be a public service. Matter of fact, it was difficult when the Democrats had the government shutdown. It's difficult when Democrat mobs attack ICE agents and federal agents. That's difficult, and National Guard members, et cetera, that's kind of difficult, but it's not really difficult any other way that they describe. Of course. Your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws. Our Constitution and who we are as Americans. Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up the ship. So. Again, somebody wrote that, somebody planned that, and somebody put that in the motion. This is not an organic video. Nothing they do is. And by the way, it's all designed to really perpetrate the narrative that the president's breaking the law that, in fact, he's not. He has been one of the, probably one of the best when it comes to upholding the Constitution in the law when it comes to recent presidents. In fact, you saw a bunch of them the other day, didn't you? This is the thing that showed me. I don't know about you. You want to talk about what we're really facing or what we're really up against? So we can get into all kinds of theory. We can get into all kinds of, you know, conversation about the deep state and coups and this, that, and the other thing. But you know what? More than anything showed me exactly what we're up against yesterday. I think it was yesterday anyway. I think that's what it was. It was the day before. I'm looking for it.

I don't see it now. Maybe I skimmed through it. Anyway, I'll tell you what I saw. Because you probably saw the same thing. It happened to D.C. And I think it was D.C. Or was it? I think it was. They were all there. Mostly all of them. Trump was not. Dick Cheney's funeral. Did you see all these people coming together? I mean, it was like a whoosuit. Now, the Obama's and the Clintons weren't there. But there's Mike Pence next to Kamala Harris. Is that? Wait a minute. Is that? I could be wrong. I got to get another photo. I got to see if this is right. I don't know if he's next or if he's just back here, but look who this is. Is that what I think it is? Is anybody else? I can't be the only one. He's all the way over on the right here. Let's start over here. I got George W. Bush, Laura Bush. Joe Biden. Dr. Chil Biden, Kamala Harris by herself, Mike Pence, Mike Pence's wife, and is that Hunter back there? Is that Hunter right on the right in the corner? I just, I'm like, look, you can't, to me, you can't, you can't, by the way, do you know Trump wasn't invited? Neither was JD Vance in this funeral.

I think this is Anthony Fauci in here. I know if I saw Anthony Fauci in the crowd. This is Al Gore. Obama's in the Clinton. They're probably afraid they might be arrested if they came. Somebody asked me in this, and I think it's a great question. Did they get envelopes passed around yesterday too? Yeah, that's a great question. I don't know. I didn't see any envelopes passed around, but maybe we'll... Yeah, maybe we'll find out. Was Hunter Biden sitting there? The entire old D.C. establishment was there? They showed up for Dick Cheney's funeral. So I want you just to think about... Oh, yeah, there's a... There's Mitch McConnell. He's there. Biden, Harris, George W. Bush, Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence. Different parties, different eras, but all the same DC establishment gathered in one place. Now look, who didn't show up? President Trump, Vice President. Sitting President and Vice President and the leaders of the new GOP were nowhere on sight while every heavyweight of the old guard stood shoulder to shoulder without or shoulder to shoulder while paying tribute. Symbolism matters in Washington. So do absences. This guy says, well, I don't think they were invited. But I will tell you that shows you a lot. Look who's sitting next to Anthony Fauci. Look is sitting next to Anthony Fauci? Is that Stephen Colbert? That must have been Stephen Colbert there at the funeral yesterday.

But they hate you even more. I mean, there is a disdain for the American people. There's a disdain for... Truth logic, common sense, freedom, and the Constitution. Caroline, can I just follow up. The president and the vice president, for that matter, have accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that exactly what the president is doing when he says that members of Congress should be killed? Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress are doing to encourage it incite violence? They are literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to defy the chain of command, not to follow lawful. orders. Every single- But they're suggesting, they're suggesting Nancy that the president has given illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order that is given to this United States military by this commander-in-chief and through this chain of command, through the Secretary of War, is lawful. And the courts have proven that. This administration has an unparalleled record at the Supreme Court because we are following the laws. We don't defy court orders. We do things by the books. And to suggest and encourage that active duty service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do. She's absolutely right. Look, I mean, this can't be more clear in my mind. And you don't have to, you really don't have to be a rocket surgeon. to figure this out. If this was on the other, if she was on the other foot, obvious. If this were Republican members of Congress who were encouraging members of the military and members of our United States government to defy orders from the president and from the chain of command, this entire room would be up in arms. But instead, it is the other way around, and I think that's quite telling. If this were Republican members of Congress, she's right. She's absolutely right. We know exactly what would be going on. Meanwhile, You know, you wonder what are they trying to stop? What are they trying to stop Trump from doing? Well, I don't, there's a number of things, but you know. Think about what he's in the middle of doing right now. Trying to get a deal done with Russia and Ukraine for peace. Why would they want that stopped? Quite a bit of reporting on the latest with Russia, Ukraine. So let me clarify and give you guys the truth on where it currently stands. President Trump has made it very clear since day one, and even on the campaign trail, that he wants to see this war come to an end. He has grown increasingly frustrated with both sides of this war, Russia and Ukraine alike, for their refusal to commit to a peace agreement. But nevertheless,

the president and his national security team are steadfast in seeing this war come to an end to end the killing and deliver on the president's promise. Special envoy Steve Witkoff, Marco Rubio, have been working on a plan quietly for about the last month. They've been engaging with both sides, Russia and Ukraine, equally, to understand what these countries would commit to in order to see a lasting and durable peace. That's how you get to a peace negotiation, right? That's how it worked with Israel. with respect to Israel and Gaza and all of the Arab countries in the Middle East. That's how we accomplished that historic agreement, which the UN, by the way, voted to commit to and accept this week, which was a huge monumental moment. She's so good. I mean, she's absolutely so. She's so buttoned up. She's been fantastic. Maybe one of the best of all. I'm not being hyperbolic there. I really think she's one of the best. She's had some absolutely fantastic examples of what to do and what not to do in the last decade or so, I'll give her that. By the way, question about Mount Donnie who's coming to the Oval today. I think I will just add. It speaks volumes that tomorrow we have a communist coming to the White House because that's who the Democrat Party elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country. I think it's very telling, but I also think it speaks to the fact that President Trump is willing to meet with anyone and talk to anyone and to try to do what's right on behalf of the American people, whether they live in blue states or red states or blue cities in a city that's... becoming much more left than I think this president ever anticipated in his many years of living in New York himself. I will just add it speaks. There you go. There you go. That'll be what we hear about and see, I guess, in the next over the weekend here. By the way, speaking of Democrat, like communist mayors, did you see this story? And this isn't a great story. I mean, it's a horrible story. Chicago mayor has even been obliterated by the folks that act blue right now. A strategist there over absolutely insane response to a woman set on fire. Did you see the story about the woman set on fire on the train? Holy cow. This is, I think it happened Monday and a woman was set on fire. By the way, this guy had been like 20 some odd times. It's just unthinkable. Lawrence Reed is his name. He doused a woman and fueled and set her on fire on a Chicago train. The woman burned. And as she burned, she screamed, or he screamed, burn alive, B word. Now, he's been arrested 72 times in Cook County and prosecuted 13. The people that set this guy free, they ought to burn. They ought to be locked away. This guy should never have seen the light of day. And you talk about the major difference between Democrats and Republicans. This is it. Democrats are unlawful. They'll say Trump has unlawful, illegal arguments and the things he's convincing people to do in the military, etc. But.

At the end of the day, the truth is every single policy, every single thing they stand for is all about breaking the law. They stand for and with illegal immigrants over actual Americans. They stand for and with convicted criminals. Violent convicted criminals. These people get away with murder and they come back for more over and over and over again. And this isn't happening in red areas. It's happening in the blue states, the blue cities, because this is what they're all about. This man with a decade-long criminal record has been accused of setting a woman on fire on the CTA blue line train. The woman 26. The suspect 50. And I honestly don't even know how much of this I can. I should show you, but this is. This is part of the video, and it shows the fire that's, I guess, I don't know how this happened. This is about all I show you, but it's the fire, probably from the fuel that line the street after this event took place. Oh, I can't even, I can't even imagine. It's horror. It's sheer horror. It's terror. And so what is it the mayor of? By the way, we've completely forgotten about the woman who was attacked, the Ukrainian woman who was attacked on the train in North Carolina. We've completely forgotten about her. And this is happening on there. Maybe this is why Zohran Mamdani wants free buses.

He doused the woman in fuel, set her on fire, and the mayor has had some just, like I said, crazy comments on this whole thing. He's under fire himself for the comments that he's made that are kind of a thing. They throw around that term tone deaf quite a bit. Well, I can say is that as awful and as horrific as this tragedy is, this is an isolated incident. As we continue to invest more in our public transportation system, we want people to feel safe. as they ride. So many working people rely upon our public transportation system across the city. And that's why I'm doing my part to ensure that these investments are getting right to the people so that, of course, people can continue to enjoy. This is about investment. This is about taking people who commit these horrible acts, locking them up so they never see the light of day again. Because look, when they do it once. They'll do it over and over and over again until something horrific like this happens. And it was Irina. And now it's this young woman, the 26-year-old in Chicago. I didn't even know the details of the full story on who, what her name was. We got to imagine she's probably writing the... The bus to probably go to work just to pay for it. That's what Irene was doing. Or not the bus, but the train. Anyway, 22 prior arrests. You just, you can't, you can't make this stuff up. Woman set on fire. This is Chicago for you. This is Chicago. Here's another report.

Oh, hang on. Are we going to? Let me get to the full. This is Lawrence Reed's most recent booking photo, the latest in a long string of lockups. We found 49 arrests, including 10 felony cases and an active aggravated battery case from August, in which Reed was accused of hitting a social worker at McNeil Psychiatric Hospital, causing loss of consciousness, two ER visits, and lasting memory issues, headaches, and daily nausea. This is the whole, hey, just send a social worker. We don't need cops. Just send a social worker. The Cook County State's attorney asked a judge to keep Reed in custody until his trial for the August battery. But one judge put him on electronic monitoring before a different judge modified the monitoring hours. This is Lawrence Reed's most recent. I just, you know, it's, it's never been more clear. It's never been more clear. The difference between what a, what Democrats stand for, what Republicans stand for, the left and the right. Law and order versus chaos and insanity. You can't make this stuff up. I got to run a report. It's good news. Probably should end on this. Do vaccines cause autism? The CDC has moved from denial to doubt the daily signal rights. Well, the real story here is actually more clear when we put it this way.

The Centers for Disease Control Prevention is updated its official website now. The information and potential link between autism and vaccines no longer ruling out the possibility of causation. Before, remember, you go to the website and they say, no, it's not a thing. Now, we see we, the Department of Health and Human Services are updating the CDC's website to reflect the gold standard evidence-based science. HHS Press Secretary Emily Hilliard says. On Wednesday, the CDC updated its page titled Autism and Vaccines. The website now includes three key points. The claim vaccines do not cause autism is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. So it's actually a little more reason. They've come around with this, right? Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities, and the HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biological mechanisms. So.

This is big news. And I think it's a step for the folks in the Maha movement. Make America healthy again. You talk about making an actual difference. Making America healthy again. This is how we do it. This is how we move forward. And this is what, in cases similar situations, is what's going to move the country forward? It's not just this. It's in every single one of these moments. Look, you've got little things, little by little people waking up and the news. A little bit of hope and encouragement for you today. All right. We are back at it again next week. It's going to be a fast one. It's going to fly, folks. So make sure you're with us. Strap in. Always a pleasure. Let's stay in touch over the weekend.
