The Glenn Beck Program - Are Our Oil Reserves EMPTY？! The Latest on Iran ｜ 7⧸20⧸26

00:00:00.000 As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question.

00:00:03.580 How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America?

00:00:08.160 The answer is probably going to surprise you.

00:00:10.140 More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America.

00:00:16.120 That's not good.

00:00:18.020 One of the reasons I like good ranchers is because of that number.

00:00:20.880 They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door.

00:00:26.040 No imported mystery meat, just high-quality American beef, chicken, pork, and seafood raised right here.

00:00:33.680 I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms.

00:01:50.760 We'll be right back.

00:02:20.760 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:34.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:40.960 From the Mountain West in the Standing Rock Ranch,

00:02:44.900 welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:47.820 Glad you're here.

00:02:48.360 I've got a lot to say today.

00:02:50.760 I want to talk about Bill Maher and Van Jones and people writing in, finally saying, hey, maybe this socialism thing is kind of a problem.

00:03:02.580 And I salute them for having the bravery to stand up better late than never.

00:03:08.500 But before we get into that, I think we need to talk about the war in Iran because it's, it's.

00:03:16.460 we have a lot we have to decide um and it requires us to be adults and have adult conversations and

00:03:26.460 not necessarily take the easy path and that might be get out stop it right now i don't think that is

00:03:34.700 the easier path or the uh uh the harder path i think that's the more dangerous path myself but

00:03:41.520 We have to decide as a country, and we can decide to do that.

00:03:45.400 But now would be the time to decide.

00:03:48.260 We'll get into that here in just a second.

00:03:50.600 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:03:52.440 It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 1.00

00:03:55.600 Iran and its proxies are continuing to make life incredibly difficult 1.00

00:03:59.640 and insanely dangerous for the entire world. 1.00

00:04:04.140 And I don't think they're going to stop, quite honestly.

00:04:08.340 Well, we'll get into that in a second.

00:04:09.780 There are people in communities in northern Israel forcing families to live under constant threat of attack.

00:04:17.260 And while Israel continues to defend her people, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews remains on the ground every single day providing life-saving help to those who need it.

00:04:28.940 It's a bad situation.

00:04:30.700 And I have to tell you, there are people that are really, truly suffering.

00:04:34.580 And I say this every day, but I want you please to internalize this.

00:04:39.220 Imagine they have come for your kind over and over and over again,

00:04:45.360 and they have wiped millions of your kind out just because you're a Jew.

00:04:52.640 Do you have any idea what it must feel like to be a Jew today?

00:04:57.120 Please keep that in mind. 1.00

00:04:59.420 I'm not asking you to stand with Israel. 1.00

00:05:01.120 I'm not asking you to stand. 0.95

00:05:02.160 Don't fight their war.

00:05:03.460 I don't care if you like Benjamin Netanyahu or hate his guts.

00:05:05.820 The Jewish people have a right not to be hunted again.

00:05:10.980 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

00:05:13.360 We are all praying for peace in Jerusalem and for soldiers and families and everybody.

00:05:18.180 Visit PrayIFCJ.org.

00:05:20.500 That's PrayIFCJ.org.

00:05:25.220 Okay.

00:05:27.120 I think this is one of the strangest wars I have seen in my lifetime.

00:05:31.820 because it feels as though we haven't fully committed to this war.

00:05:38.160 And we haven't.

00:05:39.260 We are fighting it in a way we have not fought before.

00:05:43.000 Why?

00:05:44.000 We're fighting it differently because none of us want to have troops on the ground.

00:05:48.400 None of us want another 20-year ongoing, never-ending war.

00:05:53.100 None of us. 0.91

00:05:53.900 On the other hand, if you have thought this through and you have actually taken the time to think it through on nuclear weapons, you cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran. 0.77

00:06:11.680 Here's the problem with that. 0.81

00:06:13.540 They have been telling us for 35 years, they're weeks away from having a bomb.

00:06:19.940 They're just days away.

00:06:21.340 They might have already launched a missile, okay?

00:06:25.120 We have heard it over and over and over and over and over and over again that they're days away from having a bomb.

00:06:32.180 I don't know how close they were to having a bomb.

00:06:34.160 I have no idea.

00:06:35.000 I wish I did, but I don't know because I don't know who to trust anymore because everybody, it seems, in our life, our political life, has lied to us.

00:06:42.520 So I don't trust our intelligence agencies.

00:06:45.300 I don't trust what the president is being briefed on, per se.

00:06:50.100 I don't know.

00:06:50.860 I don't know what the truth is. I do know this. They must not and cannot have a nuclear weapon.

00:06:58.440 This is not North Korea. You know, when the president was negotiating to get him to behave,

00:07:04.500 you know, he was like, oh, crazy little rocket man, and maybe I'll vaporize. First of all,

00:07:09.260 you should know one thing. I know President Trump. President Trump is not afraid of anything.

00:07:14.540 President Trump, when he was shot, was on the ground, everybody's dogpiling. And as I've told

00:07:20.200 you before he told me what was going through my mind get up get up you want to represent the

00:07:26.760 united states of america you're not afraid we don't cower to anybody get up and that's why he

00:07:32.800 you heard him get up get up i get i gotta get up i gotta get up remember when they dogpiled on him

00:07:37.900 and that's why when he stood up he said fight fight fight he wasn't talking about political

00:07:42.800 he was sending a message to the world america does not cower he is not afraid

00:07:49.360 he is terrified of nuclear war terrified he knows and he is right he knows somebody uses a tactical

00:08:00.600 nuke and everything spirals out of control he knows anybody uses a single nuke you don't stop

00:08:09.400 it every single war game since the 1950s to today they do them all the time every single war game

00:08:18.960 ends the same way, complete annihilation of the human race on earth. It's always full-scale war,

00:08:27.320 no matter how they war game it, no matter what they do or don't do. Once somebody drops a nuke,

00:08:32.640 it's over. And he knows it, and he's terrified, and he has rebuilt our military and our nuclear

00:08:40.020 arsenal. He knows what these things can do. So he's not afraid of anything except for that.

00:08:48.960 You shouldn't be afraid of anything except for that.

00:08:53.140 And unlike North Korea, unlike China, unlike Russia,

00:08:57.360 MAD works with them. 0.63

00:08:59.480 You know, little rocket man.

00:09:00.860 He wants to live, okay?

00:09:03.220 He's not some crazy person who has a death wish.

00:09:07.880 He wants to live.

00:09:09.700 And so China keeps him in check.

00:09:11.920 He knows China doesn't want him to use a nuclear weapon,

00:09:14.560 doesn't mind him having one,

00:09:15.760 but under their watch and their control.

00:09:18.960 This is entirely different.

00:09:21.700 These people only answer to their twisted version of God.

00:09:26.040 And I don't mean just Allah and Muhammad.

00:09:30.100 I mean the Twelver version of God. 0.91

00:09:35.160 That's a death cult.

00:09:37.200 They will use it.

00:09:39.420 So now, what do we do?

00:09:41.780 Because once they have a nuke, even if they didn't use it,

00:09:46.660 and I'm telling you they would,

00:09:48.360 even if they didn't use it you think gas prices are high now how do you stop them from controlling

00:09:55.080 the Strait of Hormuz how do you stop that they have a nuke what are you going to do nuke them

00:10:01.540 you're not going to nuke them and they'll know they know that the minute they have a nuke everything

00:10:06.660 changes that's why the pipelines have got to cut off the Strait of Hormuz they should be building

00:10:12.460 And they are building new pipelines to get dependence on the Strait of Hormuz out of there.

00:10:18.780 Because we can't always control it.

00:10:21.880 We can't always patrol it.

00:10:23.880 Weapons are getting cheaper, not more expensive.

00:10:27.140 Drones, look what the drones are doing to us now, okay?

00:10:30.140 We just lost another four soldiers this weekend.

00:10:33.780 So why is this so confusing?

00:10:36.040 because the president is fighting this having to fight a few things so let me go over him he's

00:10:44.120 fighting gas prices he knows it's not just about politics we are now at the end of our

00:10:53.020 oil supply i know everybody is confused by this we have plenty of oil he says we drill baby drill

00:11:00.720 We can't use our own oil because no one will allow us to build a refinery.

00:11:07.500 Because of the ecological nut jobs, we haven't built a new refinery in this country since the 1970s.

00:11:17.780 We can't.

00:11:19.540 Why?

00:11:20.400 Because no one, if Donald Trump said, we're building new refineries, do you believe, because it'll take about 10 to 12 years.

00:11:27.780 If everything went well, it'll take you 10 to 12 years to build refineries.

00:11:33.560 Do you believe that we have the political stability to finish that?

00:11:37.860 Or do you think it will go on and on and on and on and we'll never open the refinery?

00:11:43.160 The important people believe it will never open.

00:11:47.120 Who are the important people?

00:11:48.640 The banks, the money people. 0.98

00:11:50.760 they know they those refineries will never open because of global warming and all of this crap

00:11:57.940 so they'll never open so we're not building them all the oil we pull out of the ground

00:12:03.480 is called light sweet crude all of our refineries can only refine heavy crude we have to get that

00:12:13.140 from the middle east so we're sending all of our buying all of our oil from over there and sending

00:12:20.360 it this is crazy sending it over here so we can refine it because we can't use our own oil we have

00:12:28.520 to ship that oil to somebody else who can build the refineries and can refine that into gasoline

00:12:37.140 and diesel and everything else so that's the part he cannot solve the president can't solve it

00:12:44.660 because the banks don't believe anybody is going to be able to do it so we could say okay

00:12:50.280 then we're going to finance it. The president could say, we're going to finance it. The United

00:12:53.980 States of America. Well, now you own an oil refinery. Congratulations on that, socialists.

00:12:59.400 We don't want to own our own oil refineries. And do you really think that he could get that

00:13:04.460 passed by Congress? They can't pass simple bills. So he's got to keep oil prices down,

00:13:13.920 not just for us, but for the entire world. If oil prices hit 120, 130, sustained, we're out.

00:13:24.180 And I don't mean just us, and I don't mean like, oh, a little blip. And I know what I'm saying on

00:13:29.720 this, a little blip like in 2008. I mean a global economic disaster. It's the Great Depression

00:13:40.320 with really no quick way out of that all over the world.

00:13:46.440 China, us, Russia, Europe, all of it.

00:13:52.020 He's got to keep oil prices down.

00:13:55.440 So what is he doing?

00:13:56.860 He's not making a big deal out of things.

00:13:58.940 When they kill four soldiers, what is he doing?

00:14:01.700 It's okay.

00:14:02.500 It's all right.

00:14:03.460 It's okay.

00:14:04.780 The Strait of Hormuz is open.

00:14:06.720 They're saying it's not.

00:14:08.720 He says it is.

00:14:09.560 is it open or is it closed look at the price of oil it's 80 today it's open

00:14:14.120 so he's trying to make sure that you don't have fear because fear will drive the market

00:14:21.940 don't fear so got to keep oil prices down have to keep people from fear and panic he also has

00:14:32.240 to win an election which a war is not popular and neither are high gas prices um uh he he has to

00:14:43.260 do all of these things and keep all of it off of page one of the newspaper

00:14:50.100 we've never fought a war like this we've never fought a war like this ever and this is the most

00:14:57.920 dangerous war of my lifetime. And I say that knowing I grew up during the Cold War.

00:15:04.720 What we didn't know then that we do know now is MAD was a workable deterrent.

00:15:13.860 The Russians didn't want to die. The Iranian citizen and the Persians that live in Iran,

00:15:20.300 they don't want to die either. But the leadership, they don't care. They think they're going to Allah.

00:15:26.920 They think they're hastening the return of the promised one.

00:15:30.460 We've not been in this situation since World War II.

00:15:35.440 Now, here's the thing.

00:15:36.900 There are unknown factors here that we don't know.

00:15:40.500 We don't know what China is going to do.

00:15:43.640 We found out that China, the drones being used, China is providing those.

00:15:50.060 That's not good.

00:15:51.660 China is also helping them on targeting.

00:15:54.320 Somebody said to me this weekend, well, we should hit China.

00:15:57.360 No, we should not hit China because we provided weapons and targeting for Ukraine.

00:16:03.880 So do you want Russia hitting us for the same thing that we're now saying about China?

00:16:08.200 No, that's the way it happens.

00:16:10.680 Those are proxy wars. 0.64

00:16:12.460 So we can't really hit China back. 0.93

00:16:15.500 We don't want to. 1.00

00:16:16.900 That triggers World War III.

00:16:18.720 we hope that they don't get more involved and the same thing with russia russia is also partners

00:16:26.400 with iran we don't want them involved but they are inching their way in and it's the one reason

00:16:33.580 why we can't find the albert spear who i was talking about last couple of weeks the the the

00:16:39.480 nazi who avoided uh being hung at the nuremberg trials because he would not burn germany to the

00:16:46.560 ground, because that's what Hitler wanted to do. That's the 12ers. We're looking for an Albert 1.00

00:16:51.460 Speer. That's what the president is hoping to do without major war. Can we find somebody who will

00:16:57.740 work from the inside that will kill all of the others, kind of like that Tom Cruise movie,

00:17:05.840 Valkyrie? Is there anybody on the inside that will kill the crazy leadership to say, hey, world, 0.56

00:17:13.320 we're not crazy. We don't have a death wish. I don't know if we can find that. I have no idea. 0.86

00:17:20.540 I don't know if, however, we know the cost of this by not taking action.

00:17:29.360 I'm so tired of war. I don't want war. I don't want war in the Middle East,

00:17:36.800 And I really don't want to be a part of a, I don't want to be part of the generation that caused World War III. 0.98

00:17:46.240 But that's who we are. 0.91

00:17:48.340 That's where we are.

00:17:50.240 Now, the question is, do we just close our eyes and say, I don't want it to happen, I don't want it to happen, I don't want it to happen?

00:17:56.760 Or do we open our eyes and only see bad orange man, bad orange man, bad orange man?

00:18:01.740 Or can we actually be adult enough to look at what's actually facing us

00:18:08.840 and then making a rational decision?

00:18:12.380 Quite honestly, I'll show you throughout history, we've never done that. 1.00

00:18:19.140 When it comes to Islam, we've never done it. 1.00

00:18:24.460 And that's what it's going to require. 1.00

00:18:27.040 Let me show you through history in 60 seconds.

00:18:30.080 First, Patreon moment.

00:18:31.740 Sometimes the hardest part of making a change isn't the change itself.

00:18:34.880 It's just deciding to do it.

00:18:36.500 Patriot Mobile is a perfect example.

00:18:38.400 People stick with the same cell phone company for years,

00:18:40.660 not because they love the service,

00:18:41.920 but because they assume switching is going to be a huge hassle.

00:18:44.960 They figure you're going to have to get a new phone,

00:18:46.940 lose your number, spend hours getting everything transferred.

00:18:49.700 That's not how it goes.

00:18:50.580 That may be how it goes everywhere else, but not with Patriot Mobile.

00:18:53.720 You can keep your phone, keep your number.

00:18:55.960 You can get a new one.

00:18:57.540 Whatever you want to do, it's easy.

00:18:59.240 Patriot Mobile will walk you through the entire process.

00:19:01.740 And you'll have access to all three major nationwide networks.

00:19:05.060 So you're not giving up the coverage that you depend on.

00:19:07.640 And what matters to me is Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

00:19:12.100 We have got to have a parallel economy.

00:19:14.640 We have to start supporting people who are defending our faith, our family, our constitutional rights,

00:19:20.280 our values that make this country exceptional.

00:19:22.740 And they don't just spend money.

00:19:25.380 I tell you, when Mercury won, we're down in Texas hill country again because of the horrible floods.

00:19:31.740 I can guarantee you that one of the first calls that Mercury One made was to Patriot Mobile.

00:19:37.000 Hey, can you help us?

00:19:37.980 We need money on X, Y, and Z, or we need a plane, or we need whatever it is.

00:19:41.620 And they're there for us every single time.

00:19:43.840 And it's not just us.

00:19:44.840 They're everywhere.

00:19:57.500 Station ID.

00:20:01.740 all right this if you happen to be watching us um this is a sword from our first foreign war

00:20:20.460 you know why our our marines are called leathernecks they're called leathernecks

00:20:25.900 because on our first foreign war they had to put leather around their necks they would tie it in

00:20:31.480 the back but they would put this giant like four or five inch piece of leather you go right

00:20:36.540 underneath the chin and the jawbone all the way around and down to their collarbone and that was

00:20:43.060 to stop swords like this this is a muslim pirate sword the barbary pirates used in the barbary 0.91

00:20:49.020 pirates war and when they were fighting the muslims would come up and they would just slice 0.99

00:20:55.240 you across the neck and it was killing our soldiers so that's why we have our marines are 1.00

00:20:59.400 called leathernecks to stop their heads from being chopped off by the Muslims. When we fought this 1.00

00:21:05.400 war, we fought this war and we had been dealing with, the whole world had been dealing with the 1.00

00:21:13.580 Muslim Barbary pirates. France was paying them millions of dollars in today's money. Huge 0.99

00:21:20.940 portions of our budget, a third to two-thirds of our budget was going to bribery to the Barbary

00:21:26.640 pirates. Leave our ships alone. Just leave us alone. England was doing it. France was doing it. 0.99

00:21:33.600 Germany was doing it. Spain was doing it. Everybody was doing it. And they were just gaining more and

00:21:39.400 more power. Now, why did they believe they could come board our ships, take our ships, take our

00:21:45.120 stuff, kill our soldiers, kill our sailors, or take them into slavery, rape our women, and just 0.99

00:21:52.740 take our women, sell them into slavery. Why? I don't know. Watch TV today. Why is it still 1.00

00:22:00.380 happening? Because a portion of Islam believes you're an infidel. And if you're an infidel, 0.59

00:22:08.740 I can do whatever I want to you. Okay? You're not a Muslim. I can rape your daughter all day long, 1.00

00:22:14.480 and it doesn't matter. I'm not going to get in trouble for it because they're not Muslim. 1.00

00:22:19.060 did we win no we made peace with the Barbary pirates we made peace why because people did 1.00

00:22:29.460 not want a foreign war and Thomas Jefferson at the end of the war said I warn you read their words

00:22:39.940 they're not going to change they're not going to give up we must pay attention because our first

00:22:46.000 foreign war, if we don't pay attention, we'll end up being our last foreign war come someday.

00:22:54.620 Well, we are now in that position if we don't pay attention. I'll continue to explain,

00:24:34.900 Later in the show, Glenn actually has praise for progressives like Van Jones and Bill Maher.

00:24:40.260 And he explains the one thing they can unite on.

00:24:42.720 Stay with us on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:25:01.120 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:25:05.480 I'm just looking over some of the comments that have just come in.

00:25:07.700 And Joanne writes, Glenn, you continuously preach to the choir.

00:25:13.020 I've heard many, many times we have sweet crude and we can't refine it here because it takes too long to build a new refinery and the Greenies won't allow it.

00:25:20.100 Well, sorry, Joanne, just trying to inform the public.

00:25:24.480 And you might have heard it, but believe me, most of your friends don't know that.

00:25:29.900 That's why, and quite honestly, the president should be saying this every day, every day.

00:25:37.700 Because people don't know.

00:25:39.760 They all say the same thing.

00:25:41.000 How come our gas prices?

00:25:42.220 Oh, if we have so much oil, how come our gas?

00:25:44.040 That's why.

00:25:45.420 And Joanne, if you know it, how many times have you told it to your people, your friends, your neighbors?

00:25:51.720 You should be sharing this every single day.

00:25:54.580 People are not paying attention.

00:25:57.920 Here's one.

00:25:59.240 Lindsay girl. 0.91

00:26:00.360 So why don't we just drop a nuke on the Middle East and turn it to glass? 0.85

00:26:04.440 Did you hear what I just said about nuclear war? 0.82

00:26:06.580 once you drop once anyone drops a bomb it's over and it's not me saying that it's not me guessing

00:26:14.640 that's the pentagon doing war games since the 1950s we have never fought a nuclear war on paper

00:26:23.140 ever and people have won it's oh it always ends the same way so no we should not drop a nuke

00:26:32.600 Daryl, boots on the ground should be Gulf troops. 0.91

00:26:35.600 Agree. 1.00

00:26:36.560 Those countries should take out Iran, which is a threat to them. 1.00

00:26:39.860 Agree. 1.00

00:26:40.980 100% agree.

00:26:43.660 J-Man, for real, this is a war.

00:26:46.020 You're not going to win.

00:26:47.380 You cannot win a war against people who are only negotiating.

00:26:49.920 Chip is to destroy the world or we'll do it for you.

00:26:52.240 Yes, so that is great observation.

00:26:57.860 Now you're president of the United States.

00:27:00.880 What do you do?

00:27:01.700 what do you do you know that you can't win you can't you can't win because they'll destroy the

00:27:11.600 world so guys what i'd like to suggest is we don't fight it mr president then they will get

00:27:18.740 a nuke and they will use it and they will destroy the world but you just told me we can't fight to 0.99

00:27:24.840 win right and that's absolutely true you can't win this war because they're all bat crap crazy 0.97

00:27:31.900 okay so we're not going to fight well then they have a nuke well then we're going to fight but

00:27:37.700 you can't win what do you do as president of the united states see this is the thing everybody

00:27:42.260 likes to armchair this they like to just sit at home think about it for and i'm not saying this 0.75

00:27:47.500 about you, J-Man, for real. People you know, they will armchair this, and they have put all of maybe

00:27:54.900 an hour, maybe, if we're lucky, an hour's worth of thought into this since the war began. And they'll

00:28:02.280 say, well, we shouldn't fight it because you can't win. Okay, great. I agree with you. We can't.

00:28:08.600 But they can't have a nuke. So what do you do? That's why this president is fighting it the way

00:28:16.240 he's fighting it. He's got to keep gas prices down. He's got to keep the price of oil down.

00:28:21.460 He's got to keep it off the front page so the world doesn't freak. He's got to cobble together

00:28:26.320 the allies, which he has done in the Middle East. When you say the troops in the Middle East should 0.79

00:28:31.860 come from the Middle East, you're right. And that we have a chance of that for the first time in 0.98

00:28:36.800 history, we have a chance that they might be the ones that take it because he has spent years now

00:28:43.120 putting together that coalition. So that's a really great solution. But that doesn't happen

00:28:49.620 overnight. And it doesn't happen without leadership. And we're the only ones that have

00:28:55.340 the forces. However, we're also not alone in not having the money, not having the oil.

00:29:03.440 You know, Jason, can you give me the research that you just did on the reserves? This is

00:29:11.660 the most critical thing you need to understand. This is why we are fighting with one hand tied

00:29:18.620 behind our back. Why? Jason? Yeah, the IMF is predicting now that as of now, global oil reserves

00:29:28.340 are, I think the direct quote was completely tapped or spent. That's one of the ways that

00:29:34.480 we were able to keep prices down as everyone was dipping into the reserves. We got a little bit of

00:29:38.320 that back during the mou but just looking at now per you know information that has been released

00:29:44.460 um the the the status quo of dipping into reserves has gone back to the way it was so um a planned

00:29:53.500 172 million barrel release to offset shortages and support prices is now in effect i'm not sure

00:30:00.000 if that's just here or if that is in multiple places multiple different countries but weekly

00:30:05.240 draws towards from the strategic reserves are now commencing again. So we are on a very tight

00:30:13.460 timeline for how long we can do this for sure. How? How? Look, we were doing 4 million barrels

00:30:20.480 a day, 4 million barrels a day. That's how much we were releasing. If we try to refill it at top

00:30:29.300 speed, less than 800,000 barrels can be put into it. So you're taking four out. If you were putting

00:30:38.560 the maximum back in, it would only be 780,000. Okay. That means to refill from where we are,

00:30:48.960 we don't get back to a comfortable, okay, we've got our oil reserves. We're good.

00:30:55.320 We don't get there till 2033.

00:31:00.960 And that's if this president, the next president, and the president after continue to do it at top speed.

00:31:09.540 What are the odds of that?

00:31:11.340 And we're the ones who are in the best situation out of all of them.

00:31:16.200 China is way behind on their oil reserves.

00:31:20.000 Europe is almost out of oil reserves.

00:31:22.260 That's what the president is dealing with now.

00:31:26.200 Everybody didn't take their oil reserves seriously.

00:31:29.360 Joe Biden screwed with our oil reserves for political reasons,

00:31:33.680 so he drained our oil reserves.

00:31:36.020 Now when you actually need it to fight a war, we don't have it.

00:31:40.360 And if we run out of oil, they run out of oil,

00:31:44.300 China runs out of oil, Europe runs out of oil,

00:31:47.040 what happens?

00:31:48.580 What happens?

00:31:49.860 The world stops.

00:31:51.640 You think COVID was economic shock.

00:31:56.440 You haven't seen anything when ships, not being held back, ships and airplanes and everything else don't have the fuel to fly.

00:32:05.900 That's the situation that we are nearing.

00:32:08.740 And there's no good answer to this.

00:32:10.800 And that's why, I mean, I'm not coming to you with an answer.

00:32:15.360 I'm trying to explain the situation.

00:32:17.900 So our friends can start taking this seriously and stop saying orange man bad or nuke the Middle East or whatever the answer is.

00:32:29.080 This requires adults sitting at the table.

00:32:33.020 We have to be adults and look at the situation we're in.

00:32:38.280 I don't know how to win this war.

00:32:42.560 You know, I'm praying that the president is on the right path.

00:32:47.900 but if you have a better path, I'd sure like to hear it.

00:32:53.460 If it's send in ground troops, I'd like to hear your thoughts on

00:32:58.700 how do you keep the Americans engaged in that when we have boots on the ground.

00:33:03.900 You've taken that tool away.

00:33:06.460 They nuke them.

00:33:07.340 That tool has never been on the table.

00:33:09.020 It should never be on the table.

00:33:11.720 So what is your plan?

00:33:14.180 That's what I want people to start asking their friends that.

00:33:18.580 Great.

00:33:19.040 You disagree with the president.

00:33:20.400 Great.

00:33:21.240 Do you understand what we're up against?

00:33:24.600 Do you understand?

00:33:26.820 Can you explain it to me?

00:33:28.700 If you can explain it to me, great.

00:33:30.760 Let's have that conversation of what the consequences are and what we're actually facing.

00:33:36.880 When you understand that, great.

00:33:39.020 I want an answer.

00:33:40.420 I don't have an answer.

00:33:41.600 I want an answer.

00:33:43.620 but it has to be thought out. Let's stop pretending that social media solves the

00:33:50.640 problems of the world because it just doesn't. Jason, the idea of ground troops, you think that

00:33:59.500 we are softening for ground troops. Now, I have heard the Kurds might be being trained 0.97

00:34:09.200 to be ground troops because I don't think this president is going to send in boots. 0.91

00:34:13.620 Um, but would the Kurds, if the Kurds did it, wouldn't that piss off Syria and Turkey? 0.97

00:34:19.500 It would definitely piss off Turkey. 0.98

00:34:21.500 That would be probably the biggest, uh, I guess, uh, person or country that we would 0.99

00:34:27.240 have to convince that, you know, this is not going to go in an opposite direction that

00:34:30.960 they want to go in for sure.

00:34:32.600 There are, when it, when it, that's an interesting question when you think, talk about ground

00:34:35.760 troops, because the president said, I think it was over the weekend that, uh, ground troops

00:34:40.020 were an option but he said it wouldn't be our troops which is a very interesting statement

00:34:45.760 because i'm not so i'm not entirely sure who he's talking about there have been i've been watching

00:34:49.600 uh kurdish attacks that have been happening in uh northwestern iran and uh there have been a few

00:34:56.920 where they're actually claiming uh attacks on irgc facilities which is which is very brazen for

00:35:03.000 these groups so i don't know if they're waiting on orders or if they have been given some kind of

00:35:06.940 land. That's very, very possible. Another possibility is also Iranian people. I'm not

00:35:11.160 sure what groups they're reaching out to there or getting ready for, but I don't think it

00:35:15.280 necessarily means American troops. It could be a combination of American forces on some of the

00:35:20.620 islands, potentially. Not sure. We're definitely seeing attacks that are leading to an escalatory

00:35:27.460 manner. So a lot of the attacks lately, the bombings have been targeting roads, targeting

00:35:33.220 bridges targeting you know avenues or lines of communication to move troops move troops

00:35:38.180 equipment that the iranians are going to have issues with now because those are are getting

00:35:43.700 targeted tell me how do they have the equipment and the coordination to be able to wound as many

00:35:53.920 of our soldiers as they did this weekend and kill as high as four how how do they still have that

00:36:00.420 ability to be launching all of this stuff do you know can you explain that the iranians yes the

00:36:07.700 iranians been preparing for this for a very long time and a lot of this stuff that they'll a lot

00:36:12.660 of the equipment that they'll have will be buried in mountains uh it'll be spread out all over you

00:36:17.240 know iran this is something the u.s military has actually been preparing for for a very long time

00:36:21.800 or war gaming uh so they do have a lot of munitions they do have a lot of ways to strike

00:36:26.740 now it's about degrading their ability to move those weapons to locations where they can target

00:36:32.000 u.s facilities or troops so they do have the way that's why they're taking out the bridges

00:36:36.440 that's why they're taking yeah that also so that could be an answer to you know i don't think we

00:36:43.400 should rush straight towards a ground invasion the part of that could be shaping operations for

00:36:48.040 just you know ensuring that they can't hit our troops and move munitions but it also has a dual 0.66

00:36:53.560 use if we ever do want to green light some kind of ground operation, whether that be Kurds,

00:36:58.300 Iranian people, whether that be U.S. troops. It has kind of a dual purpose.

00:37:03.660 Here's what we all have to do. We all have to be Americans. And that doesn't mean we agree on

00:37:09.580 policy. It doesn't mean we all agree on the war. It doesn't mean any of that. That we're all

00:37:13.640 Americans. We all want a good outcome on this. And we should all be praying for all of the leaders.

00:37:21.440 We should be praying for the president, even if you hate him.

00:37:23.940 You should be praying for people in Congress that are on the left, even if you hate them.

00:37:30.680 Pray for wisdom.

00:37:32.280 Pray for God's hand.

00:37:34.320 Our founders, they were not going to get the Declaration of Independence.

00:37:39.580 They just weren't.

00:37:40.800 It wasn't going to happen.

00:37:42.540 And they went back and forth and back and forth.

00:37:44.360 They could not break the argument on any of it.

00:37:47.580 Are we going to sit here and really, we're going to take these guys on?

00:37:50.720 We're all going to die, okay?

00:37:52.860 And somebody said, may I suggest we break for a couple of days

00:37:58.900 and we fast and we pray.

00:38:01.720 That's what brought the group together.

00:38:04.920 It brought the group back together because they found the one thing

00:38:10.120 they could all agree on is that they loved their country

00:38:12.860 and their countrymen, and they asked for God's help.

00:38:16.500 We should be praying for everyone involved in this

00:38:19.880 because I don't think anyone has the answer.

00:38:22.820 The answer on this one is not easy, and this is not typical,

00:38:27.960 and this could end in World War III if we're not very careful.

00:38:32.640 Please pray that our haters inside the country are thwarted or silenced

00:38:39.820 or think of, I don't know, they just wake up and go,

00:38:45.340 you know what, I kind of do like our country,

00:38:47.120 that nobody's using this for politics,

00:38:49.460 either on the right or the left,

00:38:51.700 not us, not them, not social media,

00:38:54.720 that everybody takes this as serious as it actually is.

00:38:59.880 Pray for that and pray for peace.

00:39:02.660 And maybe we'll get through this.

00:39:04.760 We're going to get through it one way or another.

00:39:06.640 It's just what does the world look like on the other end?

00:39:09.260 All right, back in a minute.

00:39:10.560 First, let me tell you about Bernie.

00:39:12.760 I think it's important to note being polite

00:39:15.440 is not the same thing as being a pushover and being in favor of peaceful non-lethal solutions

00:39:20.960 is not the same as stepping out your door every day unprepared. It's not. Sometimes people confuse

00:39:27.060 kindness with weakness. It's not the same thing. A strong person isn't somebody who's looking for

00:39:32.400 a fight. A strong person is somebody who hopes a fight is never going to happen, but has a plan

00:39:38.020 in case it doesn't is prepared. That's why I like Berna. Their launchers give you a way to protect

00:39:43.080 yourself without carrying a firearm. They fire powerful, non-lethal projectiles that can stop an

00:39:48.560 attacker from a safe distance, giving you a chance to get away and get help. And they're legal in all

00:39:53.760 50 states. They don't require a background check. My kids have a burnout launcher. They carry them

00:39:59.780 and they are prepared. And it's not the same as having a gun. The goal isn't to go looking for

00:40:07.420 trouble. The goal is to make sure if trouble ever comes looking for you, you have something better

00:40:11.160 than hope to depend on. Visit Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. Find the right launcher for your family.

00:40:16.800 It's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. Glenn Beck.

00:40:32.960 Most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water.

00:40:37.620 you turn the faucet on you fill a glass and you assume it's fine and it's been that way all of

00:40:41.940 our lives right right right well when you were a kid you didn't even think about you know filling

00:40:47.520 your water from a glass from the tap with water of course not and maybe you haven't as an adult

00:40:51.840 either but there are studies looking at what is it atrazine that is a common agricultural pesticide

00:42:24.700 just saw it starting to make the rounds again this is a 27 year old college student um and

00:42:31.560 a cop says hey they're talking about a stolen car and a cop says hey you uh sir or whatever 0.53

00:42:37.620 and he's misgendered listen to how he reacts okay baker act facility can we get another unit to deal 0.63

00:42:58.100 No!

00:42:59.180 This guy goes on.

00:43:01.020 This guy goes on.

00:43:02.500 I actually think this is the saddest piece of video I've ever seen.

00:43:06.740 I want to get into it a little later.

00:43:08.400 But we are dealing with people who are absolutely incapable of thinking about anything difficult.

00:43:14.740 They're incapable of suffering through anything.

00:43:18.740 We have got to be aware that we're in a precarious situation because our society has gone completely weak.

00:43:29.100 We have to step up. We have to be men. We have to be logical.

00:43:34.440 We have to be reasonable and realize that the world desperately needs leaders here in America.

00:43:41.520 turning 65 feels like you've been dropped into a constant stream of mailers and calls and ads

00:43:49.280 telling you something different about medicare and most of it just makes things more confusing

00:43:53.000 but because this is not a small decision it's your health care you need to know you can see

00:43:58.600 the right doctors you need to get the care that you have to have and not pay for a plan that

00:44:03.680 doesn't fit your life this is where chapter comes in they don't just hand you options they look at

00:44:09.220 your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs, and they help you find a plan that actually works

00:44:13.420 for you. Over the last year, they have helped people in this audience save $1.5 million just

00:44:19.760 by finding better fitting plans. And it's really sometimes not even about the money. I heard about

00:44:25.040 a guy named Mark. Chapter stepped in, helped him get the care he needed. He said they were

00:44:29.480 absolutely spectacular. So give them a call. The call is free. They've helped thousands in my

00:44:34.760 audience and they can help you too. Dial pound 250, say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250,

00:44:39.800 keyword chapter.

00:45:04.760 Pass it on

00:45:07.340 Crank the game

00:45:09.860 Glenn Beck is on

00:45:12.360 Glenn Beck is on

00:45:14.640 Na na na na

00:45:16.820 Na na na na

00:45:21.880 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment

00:45:30.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:35.740 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:39.520 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:41.540 We're glad you're here.

00:45:43.760 Bill Maher, Van Jones have come out and said,

00:45:47.560 Hey, what's up with this socialism stuff?

00:45:51.520 It is, I would love, I would love to say,

00:45:58.480 Oh, really?

00:46:00.380 but I'm glad they've finally woken up.

00:46:05.480 I'm glad they finally see what's going on

00:46:07.880 and I support them and I encourage you to support them

00:46:13.880 and help spread the word

00:46:15.520 because without people like that saying,

00:46:19.040 hey, this is full-fledged communism now,

00:46:21.720 we're doomed, we're doomed

00:46:22.920 and I want to show you how bad it is

00:46:24.760 but give you some answers and some hope

00:46:28.520 But you have to look what we're facing right dead in the eye first.

00:46:32.600 We're going to do that next.

00:46:33.520 First, let me tell you about rapid radios.

00:46:35.440 Whether it's a natural disaster, a power outage, a car breakdown, or some other emergency,

00:46:40.180 your first instinct usually is to let someone know what happened.

00:46:43.680 The problem is the devices we depend on every day are just as good as the systems that we depend on.

00:46:48.880 So that's why I like rapid radios.

00:46:51.360 They don't require you to build your own radio network or learn a bunch of complicated equipment.

00:46:55.240 You just turn them on.

00:46:56.300 You're ready to talk.

00:46:57.260 Whether you're staying in touch with family, coordinating a trip, preparing for the unexpected, they make communication totally simple.

00:47:03.960 We spend a lot of time thinking about the things we might need in emergency, food, water, first aid, power.

00:47:08.860 But being able to talk to the people who matter most belongs on that list, too.

00:47:43.280 text message i'm like oh my gosh honey i haven't looked at my text messages all day i've been busy

00:47:50.140 so I'm giving her a rapid radio. I'll have one. That way she can, instead of writing me a text

00:47:57.660 that I won't read until she's yelling me at home, she'll just push the button and she'll say,

00:48:02.660 hey honey, would you like to fill in the blank? And I'll say, I'd love to do that, honey. I think

00:48:09.120 rapid radios may save my marriage. Rapidradios.com slash bundle. She's listening right now, isn't

00:48:15.880 she? She is. I just

00:48:17.840 remembered she's in the car. Honey, you don't

00:48:19.860 sound like that to me at all. Not at

00:48:21.900 all. Rapid, and I'm reading your text

00:48:23.720 message right as soon as I get into the break

00:48:25.960 because I know what it'll probably say. I don't

00:48:27.760 sound like that. Why don't you ever read

00:48:29.900 my text? Rapidradios.com

00:48:32.160 slash bundle. Rapidradios.com

00:48:34.500 slash bundle.

00:48:36.800 Oh, my day is

00:48:37.860 only going to get worse from here. What a stupid 1.00

00:48:39.860 thing to do. Alright. 1.00

00:48:43.560 I watched a video today.

00:48:45.880 And I normally avoid these videos like the plague because I just can't, I just can't stand what's

00:48:53.100 happening. But this one, oh my gosh. Things must be getting really bad because the Lord is just

00:49:04.080 filling me with empathy. I am not mad at people. Well, no, I am. I'm mad at stupid people. I'm not

00:49:12.060 mad at people who I think are mentally ill. And a lot of our society, they say, well, we just 0.99

00:49:24.280 disagree, or I'm awakened and enlightened, and you're not, and you're just a hate monger, bigot, 0.99

00:49:32.060 blah, blah, blah. And I'm a male trapped in a female's body, and that's why you have to call

00:49:38.740 me Lucy. No, you're mentally ill. You're mentally ill. And it's time we all start saying those 1.00

00:49:47.920 things. We've wanted to be kind. We want to be generous. And we should always say it in a kind 1.00

00:49:53.060 and generous way. You're not Lucy. You can call yourself Lucy. You can say you're a woman, but

00:49:59.100 I'm not going to reinforce that because I'm not going to make you sicker. And trying to make you 0.95

00:50:06.960 feel better by saying, not saying the truth to you, I'm helping you get worse. And quite honestly,

00:50:15.260 it's a trap for me because then I'm sucked into the road of mental illness myself because I'm

00:50:21.020 now denying things that I know to be true. And that never helps anyone. So this happened a couple

00:50:27.240 of years ago. It's now just making the rounds. So I just saw it, but it happened to a Florida

00:50:31.460 student, 27 years old, and I'm watching this, and there's a reason I'm leading with this before we

00:50:39.100 get into the Van Jones and everything else. I'm watching this, and I actually am heartbroken

00:50:45.120 because this person has no future, no future. They are never, ever going to be able to produce.

00:50:52.880 They'll never be able to hold a job. They'll never be able to have a normal relationship,

00:50:57.660 and not because of their gender dysphoria or whatever it is, 0.84

00:51:01.060 not because of any of that. 0.68

00:51:04.300 You'll never be able to be outside of a toxic relationship

00:51:11.160 because you are so fragile,

00:51:13.820 you can't handle somebody telling you the truth.

00:51:17.500 And believe me, that's what a marriage is.

00:51:21.220 That's what a relationship is.

00:51:23.380 A relationship, you can't say, I love you.

00:51:24.900 Oh, I just love you so much.

00:51:26.160 I just love you.

00:51:26.900 I just love you because I tingle every time we kiss.

00:51:29.420 Every time I see you, it's love.

00:51:31.360 No, love is when somebody sees the worst in you

00:51:37.080 and still loves you and says,

00:51:39.820 sweetheart, that's got to change.

00:51:41.580 This is not healthy for you, okay?

00:51:43.980 That's love, that's love.

00:51:46.040 The rest of it is, I don't know what it is,

00:51:48.980 but it's not love.

00:51:51.080 Lasting love tells you the truth and they,

00:51:54.200 my gosh, I'm turning into Jack Nicholson.

00:51:55.840 you can't handle the truth and that's the problem i want you to listen to this is a guy i don't know

00:52:03.280 what what the original altercation was i think it involved a stolen car or something police are

00:52:08.800 there show up they're just trying to get answers and the guy is freaking out now i'm picking this

00:52:13.660 up about three minutes in but i just want you to listen to his behavior what's the problem

00:52:19.840 why do you let those kids get away with this they are not supposed to be here if you don't

00:52:27.040 lower your voice i am going to put handcuffs on you and i'm going to take you to a baker

00:52:31.740 act facility can we get another unit to deal with um jay lee here he is having a breakdown 0.52

00:52:37.500 She's shouting She, my name is She.

00:52:45.400 Get down on the ground right now. 0.99

00:52:46.780 No, no, please.

00:52:48.080 You're about to get sprayed.

00:52:49.240 No, just let it go.

00:52:50.200 Get down on the ground right now. 0.93

00:52:51.180 Leave me alone.

00:52:52.200 I can come in there.

00:52:53.200 Leave me alone, please.

00:52:55.040 Okay, are you going to calm down?

00:52:56.920 I'm getting my phone out.

00:52:58.840 I have to feel this.

00:52:59.840 I'm telling you, are you going to calm down?

00:53:01.760 I will calm down.

00:53:04.100 I will calm down.

00:53:04.840 Do you know what this is?

00:53:05.800 I will calm down.

00:53:07.080 stop for a second he's pulling his phone out because he thinks he's being the reasonable one

00:53:13.580 he's pulling the phone out because the cop has been you have to watch this whole video

00:53:19.020 the cop has been very reasonable the whole time um and the kid just keeps getting out of control

00:53:26.540 he's like i you know what i'm done i'm done um and so uh he he's freaking out constantly shouting

00:53:36.060 about his pronouns and having a full-fledged meltdown what you're seeing here is the thing

00:53:42.700 we used to always be embarrassed about when our three or four-year-old did it in a grocery store

00:53:48.300 where they go spread eagle on the floor and they're like

00:53:52.020 and and before you have children you're like my children will never behave that way and then you

00:54:00.280 have children and then at three and four years old they go spread eagle on the grocery store floor

00:54:05.000 and you're like sorry sorry and you know it's bad that's what happens to a three or four year

00:54:13.060 old this kid is 27 years old and it's not just him go ahead and roll some more here

00:54:19.500 what this is i will calm down when you get the pepper spray out of my face

00:54:24.480 leave me alone stop

00:54:27.300 it's tragically sad

00:54:46.880 Imagine getting a phone call telling you your adult child has been arrested

00:54:52.220 And you see this video

00:54:54.900 Now you're

00:54:58.280 You're one of two kinds of parents

00:55:00.980 I think

00:55:02.060 You're the parent that

00:55:05.540 Has helped create this

00:55:07.360 And so you rush in and go

00:55:09.360 The police were bad to my son

00:55:11.260 And now you're part of the problem

00:55:13.360 Or you are somebody who has tried

00:55:16.760 and tried and tried, but all of society, all of school, everything else has just

00:55:22.660 destroyed your child and you've tried. And maybe you made mistakes because you didn't know what

00:55:29.020 else to do. And all of the experts were saying, you've got to embrace this. You have to use the

00:55:33.960 right pronouns. Otherwise they'll kill themselves. And you had no idea what to do, but now you're 1.00

00:55:39.120 seeing your 27 year old son still in college behaving like this and you have to know my son's

00:55:47.820 doomed my son is doomed he will never be able to be in a relationship he will never be able to

00:55:55.380 support himself he will never be independent ever my first thought when i saw this was where the

00:56:05.520 hell are the parents and then i thought oh wait i've been that parent before that is dealing with

00:56:12.480 stuff then you're like i don't know how to deal with it and all the experts are telling you the

00:56:15.860 wrong advice and thank god i have god because i might have followed them i have sympathy for them

00:56:22.880 i have sympathy for this kid but this isn't a one-off we've all seen videos like this all of

00:56:30.180 adults collapsing emotionally because somebody disagreed with them, public meltdowns over words,

00:56:37.240 people completely unable to regulate their emotions when reality doesn't conform to what

00:56:43.540 they want. That's not reality. That's not the way life works. It's not the way the world works.

00:56:51.360 And it's so familiar. Somewhere along the way, we have confused compassion with removing every

00:56:57.980 discomfort that's unreasonable so we have not taught our kids how to be resilient we've we've

00:57:05.260 accommodated them in every step of the way instead of helping people develop emotional strength

00:57:12.560 we told them the world has to conform to them and keep them out of this kid in the end of this video

00:57:19.960 you have to watch the whole video and the kid is going to the to the police car and he's like

00:57:24.060 still screaming you caused this you wouldn't say the right words you caught you knew my buttons

00:57:32.320 and you pushed all of them this kid's doomed he's doomed so let me just say this there is such a

00:57:42.220 thing as reality and you're not going to like a lot of it and the world is full of people who

00:57:49.280 will mispronounce your name. And sometimes they'll do it intentionally. They will offend you,

00:57:56.800 sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. There are people that are not going to care what you think.

00:58:03.220 But learning to navigate all of that, that's what it means to be an adult. Growing up means hearing

00:58:11.880 no. It means handling disappointment. It means recognizing that not every conflict requires

00:58:19.420 a crisis, and not every uncomfortable feeling is an emergency that anyone should care about.

00:58:28.920 And if we don't teach our kids these lessons, then when they hit 30, they're going to be just like

00:58:36.240 that. How do you keep a job if every disagreement becomes a breakdown? How do you deal with your

00:58:42.820 boss if every time your boss comes in and says something, you're like, I can't handle this

00:58:48.140 stress. What happens? How do you live? How do you have relationships? How do you raise children?

00:58:54.860 God help his children. How do you handle criticism? Solve a single problem.

00:59:06.240 There is no self-control, and there's no thinking anymore.

00:59:11.940 And what's sad is, by telling people the hard truth,

00:59:16.780 it seems like you don't care about people who struggle.

00:59:20.900 But it's the opposite.

00:59:22.540 Real compassion means helping people become stronger.

00:59:27.740 Not convincing them that they're too fragile to handle anything.

00:59:30.840 you know i didn't even give a second thought the the arrest was not the sad part of this

00:59:39.640 it's that somewhere along the way this 27 year old still in college never developed the tools

00:59:47.640 to cope with ordinary conflict and whether that's because of parenting or school or culture or

00:59:54.440 mental health or a combination of all of it i don't know but a society that regularly produces

01:00:00.260 adults who cannot function under everyday stress should stop pretending these are isolated

01:00:06.160 incidents. They're warning signs. They're warning signs. We are a society that soon will not be able

01:00:13.960 to function. And if you ignore the warning signs because it's uncomfortable to ask the hard

01:00:19.800 questions, these are the people who are supposedly going to be inheriting the world.

01:00:26.160 What the hell do you think the world is going to be like?

01:00:30.720 Let me ask you this.

01:00:32.520 Why do you think communism and socialism are so popular?

01:00:38.120 Because this kid cannot create.

01:00:41.060 This kid cannot be responsible.

01:00:44.080 This kid cannot ever earn money.

01:00:47.740 Doing what?

01:00:49.460 Doing what?

01:00:50.060 so of course he wants free stuff he needs free stuff he thinks that the world owes him the

01:01:01.380 police officer trying to just figure out a situation owes him to call him by the words

01:01:08.140 that he wants him called by and he thinks it's perfectly reasonable how do you think that kid

01:01:14.540 how is he going to function without socialism?

01:01:17.520 He believes it's so easy to convince him

01:01:20.660 that person has stuff that you don't have.

01:01:24.160 He's taken it from you.

01:01:26.040 Get it.

01:01:27.460 Take it.

01:01:28.720 Steal it.

01:01:30.640 Vote for me and I'll protect you every step of the way. 1.00

01:01:34.360 This is the grooming of useful idiots. 1.00

01:01:39.860 now let me take you to van jones and to bill maher who are finally waking up to how dire the 1.00

01:01:52.320 situation is we'll do that next first let me tell you about relief factor spend much of my time on

01:01:59.360 the program telling you about you know the wonderful things that relief factor can do for

01:02:02.900 you sometimes i forget to tell you the downside sometimes it feels good after you start taking

01:02:08.220 it feels so good that you do something crazy. Take Chris, for instance, after spending most of

01:02:12.320 his life doing hard physical work while standing, his feet were in really bad shape. Sounds like

01:02:17.960 the job for relief factor. Well, it was. The problem is once he got out of pain, Chris felt

01:02:22.600 so good, he ended up deciding he was going to run half a marathon. I mean, it worked. It worked for

01:02:29.800 him and he's fine still. He's still out of pain, but you know, can somebody not just celebrate by

01:03:18.480 Now, if you're a longtime listener of mine, you know that I have not had a lot of nice things to say about Van Jones.

01:03:27.500 The two of us mellowed quite a bit over the years.

01:03:30.720 Um, I still don't, uh, trust Van Jones. Um, I'm sure he's a fine guy. I don't know him, uh, really.

01:03:41.320 Um, we have met once in the past. He tried to convince me to come onto his show and he wanted

01:03:48.900 to talk to me and, and he said, Glenn, I'm not the guy you say. So I, I met him. We were in

01:03:53.540 California. I've never told this story before. We were in California. Somebody in my, on my staff

01:03:58.620 took a picture of us i'll have to share it with you took a picture of us both of us two guys

01:04:03.180 neither of us had our glasses and we're in this this airbnb in los angeles that i was renting he

01:04:08.500 came over to the house and i said you want something to eat and he's like yeah and i said

01:04:11.860 we'll just heat up i don't remember what it was it was in the winter maybe it was hot chocolate

01:04:14.620 or something i said we'll just heat it up in the microwave and here's two grown men without glasses

01:04:18.320 trying to figure out how do i just what what does this button say van it was a very real moment uh

01:04:25.380 between us but um i still don't i still don't know what he actually believes so yesterday i get a lot

01:04:32.940 of heat because i come out and uh and i said good for you van jones good for you thank you for saying

01:04:40.800 these things and a lot of people aren't happy um well you're gonna have to get over a lot of things

01:04:46.040 in life are not gonna make you happy here's what here's what van jones said this weekend i am tired

01:04:52.880 tired, tired, tired of a set of people on the very far left in the Democratic Party, my party,

01:05:00.020 telling us that in order for us to be progressives, we now have to believe ideas and support ideas

01:05:05.060 that are completely nuts. I am a progressive Democrat. In other words, everything that's

01:05:11.100 good in our party, I believe in, have believed in for a long time. Do I want universal health care,

01:05:16.860 Medicare for all, whatever you want to call it? Absolutely. If you are sick, you should be able

01:05:20.860 go see a doctor. That's a good idea. But what does it have to do with supporting Hamas?

01:05:25.500 What does it have to do with putting up candidates who say we should have no police, no prisons, 0.83

01:05:32.300 we can't deport anybody even if they commit rape or murder, Israel shouldn't exist. These

01:05:38.100 are terrible ideas. These are awful ideas. Where did these ideas even come from? We want

01:05:44.820 people to join this party. When people come to the party, you want to give them a wonderful

01:05:48.700 punch bowl of wonderful ideas like this who is putting the poop in the punch bowl

01:05:55.080 progressive democrats man i think you're misguided on what progressivism really is but that's his

01:06:04.600 view of progressivism i'm going to go into this a little deeper and i want to show you what bill

01:06:08.820 said and i salute both of them for saying these things out loud hopefully more democrats will

01:06:17.000 wake up and go, oh, wow, we've been hijacked. All right, let me tell you about American financing.

01:06:32.980 So I ever looked at an old contract you signed years ago? I mean, it's almost always a little

01:06:37.400 weird. You don't remember half of it. You wouldn't agree to some of it today. And you wonder what

01:06:43.440 version of yourself thought that was a good idea to sign that contract? I thought about that a lot

01:06:48.920 with my CNN contract years ago. Anyway, a lot of people haven't thought about their mortgage

01:06:54.920 contract for years and years. The day they closed on the house, the last time they thought about it.

01:07:00.760 They just keep making the same payment month after month, year after year, without ever asking,

01:07:04.620 is this the best arrangement for me today? This is why I like American financing. They can look

01:07:08.880 at your mortgage that you have today and help you decide whether refinancing makes sense.

01:07:13.020 Now, if you have a very low mortgage rate,

01:07:15.240 the last thing you want to do is reset your mortgage.

01:07:17.680 But you might need some of the equity in your home.

01:07:20.180 They can help you without resetting your mortgage rate.

01:07:23.580 It is not like anything you've ever seen before.

01:07:25.920 This is unique.

01:07:26.840 No upfront fees.

01:07:27.860 Find out what you qualified for.

01:07:29.240 It'll give you some breathing room.

01:07:30.940 800-906-2440.

01:07:32.880 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

01:07:42.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:07:58.740 So Van Jones comes out this weekend and says, you know, hey, this is crazy.

01:08:04.960 These Democratic socialists and these anti-Israel people, this is going to kill the Democratic Party.

01:08:10.860 And I'm like, hmm.

01:08:12.440 And my first response, honestly, my first response was almost like, oh, really, Van?

01:08:17.340 Really?

01:08:18.500 Okay.

01:08:18.800 You tried to, you and change.org led a campaign to destroy me, my family, and my career because you said I was, I don't know, a Nazi or whatever because I pointed out that anti-Semitism was going to rear its ugly head.

01:08:38.660 and it was going to come from the socialist side, okay? 0.93

01:08:43.340 I was crazy, so I had to be destroyed. 0.85

01:08:45.260 I was crazy because I said,

01:08:46.900 these are Marxists that you're dealing with.

01:08:51.460 And he blames me for his loss of the job at the White House.

01:08:57.300 And so he's always been mad at me

01:08:59.380 because I was after him and trying to destroy his family.

01:09:02.360 Well, I didn't lead a campaign.

01:09:04.220 I just said what I believed was true.

01:09:06.240 um you led a campaign to destroy me and my family so i was real my first natural man and natural

01:09:14.500 man is the enemy of god my my first natural man um reaction was oh really whoa about time

01:09:23.440 i don't want to be that guy and i'm not that guy i am thrilled that he is there because we need

01:09:32.920 people like this to actually speak out. Now, my problem with Van Jones is I don't know if he

01:09:39.440 believes it or not. I don't know if he's playing a game. I don't know. I think he's sincere,

01:09:45.560 but I don't know because what I'm left with is then he doesn't know the truth about what

01:09:52.020 progressivism really is. And, you know, it'd be interesting to see somebody like a Van Jones or

01:10:01.220 somebody else to call me up who have called me names forever and said I was crazy. Now that it's

01:10:05.940 all happening exactly the way I said it would, it'd be interesting to hear from them and saying,

01:10:10.140 Glenn, why? What did I miss? How did you see this? What did I miss? Because you're still missing it,

01:10:15.800 Ben. You're still missing it. You say you're a deep progressive. Okay. Well, do you know what

01:10:21.440 a 20th century, early 20th century American progressive was? An early 20th century American

01:10:27.320 progressive, did not like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They thought we needed to

01:10:32.480 move past them. Exactly what the DSA is saying now. We've got it. In fact, do we have that cut?

01:10:37.640 Here's the DSA talking about abolishing the Senate. Listen.

01:10:44.240 So you don't want to abolish the Senate, the United States Senate, because that's what Article

01:10:48.680 1 is. The United States Senate is a non-democratic institution. It gives more representation to

01:10:56.100 people in smaller states than to the 30 million people in California.

01:11:01.720 So you've got the House of Representatives, which is population-driven, and then you've

01:11:05.840 got the Senate.

01:11:06.560 So every state, if you're a small state, you still get two senators, even though you only

01:11:10.120 get maybe one congressman, in order to make all of the states have fair representation.

01:11:15.760 So you say—I'm just confused.

01:11:18.220 When you ask normal Americans if Congress and the Senate and our political system is

01:11:24.180 working for them most people are very unhappy with the political system and they say stop has

01:11:29.400 nothing to do with i'm just not gonna let that propaganda go on it has nothing to do yes i say

01:11:34.100 that i say that senate doesn't work congress doesn't work why it's not because it's undemocratic

01:11:39.560 it's not because the way the founders did it it's because we're not using it the way the founders

01:11:44.180 set it up and by the way it was you progressives that changed the makeup of the senate we still

01:11:50.200 Since Woodrow Wilson, the Senate was supposed to be representing the states.

01:11:56.060 They were never to be elected.

01:11:57.800 They were to be elected by the legislature in each state.

01:12:01.780 Their job, the job of the Congress, was hold the purse strings.

01:12:06.160 They make all the decisions on money.

01:12:08.180 That's why they have to be reelected every two years because they know, our founders knew, if they're spending money like crazy people, you'll vote them out.

01:12:16.800 Or at least that's what they thought you would do.

01:12:18.380 You'll vote them out.

01:12:20.200 okay they're the closest to you so they have to be every two years the senators were every four

01:12:26.700 years but you never had a say in that because they were trying to balance the people with the states

01:12:32.800 so the federal government didn't get out of control the states were the ones so the state of

01:12:39.520 texas the state of new york would always send somebody in who is just watching the back of new

01:12:44.600 york screw pennsylvania screw texas i care about new york i'm gonna make sure it's right for new

01:12:50.980 york so they were taking the people and they they were balancing it with the states and then the

01:12:56.760 president would be there to veto anything that was outside of the realm of the constitution that's

01:13:04.120 the only reason why he was supposed to veto things okay not because he didn't like it not because

01:13:08.640 his party wasn't for it was because he felt it's unconstitutional and if he was wrong you could go

01:13:15.800 back and you could vote it back in then it would be kicked up to the supreme court and they'd have

01:13:20.860 to make a decision based not on politics or whatever feel good today or whatever they believe

01:13:27.640 but what the founders wrote in the constitution we haven't done that in a long time so you want

01:13:32.760 to complain about it's not working maybe we should try it the original way it's kind of like you know

01:13:38.080 it's kind of like classic coke they tried new coke didn't work they went back to the original

01:13:43.360 recipe imagine kfc some guy comes in is like you know what forget these 11 herbs and spices i got

01:13:49.780 a new recipe it might work let's say it doesn't you go back to the original recipe

01:13:56.640 but that's not what progressives do for instance let's take obamacare we were promised obamacare

01:14:05.200 was gonna save everybody money.

01:14:06.900 We were gonna love it, okay?

01:14:08.740 It didn't save money.

01:14:10.100 We told you at the beginning, it wouldn't save money.

01:14:13.080 And I told you at the beginning.

01:14:14.480 So what they'll do is they'll be about five to 10 years away

01:14:17.860 from this vote, and then you'll,

01:14:20.660 everybody will forget what we had,

01:14:22.820 and you'll forget about, wait, wait,

01:14:24.500 healthcare was a lot better in 2010 than it is now.

01:14:29.260 Maybe we should go back to that or fix it from there

01:14:32.760 by getting the government out of it.

01:14:34.500 No, no, no.

01:14:35.120 They'll say we need more government

01:14:36.900 and then more government

01:14:38.460 and then more government.

01:14:40.320 What is that?

01:14:41.320 They would call that progress

01:14:43.720 because we're progressing to something.

01:14:46.580 That's what progressivism means.

01:14:48.120 We're progressing to something new.

01:14:51.200 Well, what is that?

01:14:52.180 And who says when to stop?

01:14:55.240 The early 20th century progressives,

01:14:57.700 they loved communism.

01:14:59.500 Now I give them the benefit of the doubt

01:15:00.920 because they had never seen it in action.

01:15:03.560 They had never seen Theodore Roosevelt, great example. 1.00

01:15:06.640 He was all for eugenics and gene splicing 0.96

01:15:09.780 and whatever else we could do.

01:15:11.020 All the things that we taught, listen carefully, 0.85

01:15:14.140 we taught the Nazis to do. 0.98

01:15:17.580 He was all for it. 0.98

01:15:18.940 So was Woodrow Wilson

01:15:19.820 because they hadn't seen what it turns into.

01:15:23.400 Well, now we do.

01:15:24.540 Now we know communism doesn't work.

01:15:26.720 Now we know socialism fails every single time.

01:15:29.800 And yes, dear listener, even in Sweden and in Norway, they haven't done it since the 90s.

01:15:37.960 They are more free with their business.

01:15:40.260 They have more tax on everybody than we do, but less tax on the rich.

01:15:47.000 Everybody pays their fair share.

01:15:49.260 They don't just say we're going to take it from the rich because why?

01:15:52.280 They realized they won't have any makers left.

01:15:55.420 All the rich people, all of the doers, all the creators will leave, and then they'll be bankrupt.

01:16:01.280 But that doesn't care.

01:16:02.360 They don't care.

01:16:02.980 They've never learned that lesson.

01:16:04.060 Look at what Mamdani is doing. 0.81

01:16:06.280 So progressivism, they loved communism.

01:16:09.500 They just didn't want the blood in the streets.

01:16:11.940 So they said, we'll just do it subtly, one piece at a time.

01:16:15.660 We'll dismantle this system one piece at a time.

01:16:18.880 And then, as I said, Van Jones, in 2008, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, all the way, you come to a point to where both systems cannot survive.

01:16:31.700 You come to a place where you've broken this system so much it can't survive.

01:16:36.900 And this system isn't working because it never works.

01:16:41.220 And so you will blame it on the capitalist system.

01:16:44.440 You'll blame it on the founders.

01:16:46.120 And you'll say, we got to get rid of that.

01:16:48.020 And we have to do this hardcore.

01:16:50.980 That's the dream of progressivism.

01:16:53.980 Let me ask you.

01:16:55.460 You say you're for socialism.

01:16:57.900 I mean, well, you didn't say it there, but you are.

01:17:00.180 You're for socialized medicine, socialized this, socialized that.

01:17:04.200 Can you tell me about what they did in Sweden that made it work?

01:17:06.640 Because you can't also be for taxing the rich.

01:17:09.140 or it won't work. But do you learn that? No. So when you're progressing, who finally says stop?

01:17:18.680 Who says, okay, this doesn't work? Nobody, because it's progress. You can't reverse it.

01:17:26.140 You can't go the other way. Sweden did. You can't. Okay, you won't. 0.97

01:17:32.160 That's the real tragedy about people who believe they're progressives. They don't understand what

01:17:37.520 it was set up to do in the first place. Progressivism is the first train station. The next

01:17:43.640 train station is socialism. And as Marx said and Lenin said, that's just a stop on the way

01:17:52.380 to communism. You don't believe me? Well, you seem to have supported the DSA for a very long time.

01:18:00.140 51 percent of the board of directors of the dsa are self-avowed communists so when you start

01:18:08.540 getting into communism why are you surprised i'll tell you why because and this is absolutely true

01:18:18.540 in the world perception is reality you have perceived communist i mean progressivism in

01:18:26.860 a certain way that has limits. That's your reality. But that doesn't make it reality, reality.

01:18:34.540 It's just your reality. And you refuse to see the bigger reality. So while I commend

01:18:42.840 Van Jones, you're on the right track. Now keep thinking this through.

01:18:48.800 if you're sincere keep thinking this through i'm not sure you're sincere um you know the other one

01:18:57.920 that did it this weekend is um bill maher can we play a little bit of what bill maher said this 0.96

01:19:02.940 weekend i mean you get some democrats democrats are cowardly yeah they're cowardly their party 0.59

01:19:08.660 is being taken over now by you know every day i hear about a new very radical i feel very good 0.94

01:19:16.080 about like 10 whenever years ago,

01:19:19.520 like I did lose fans because, you know,

01:19:22.840 I wasn't going to go along with some of this crazy stuff

01:19:27.080 on the left too.

01:19:28.640 I didn't change really on what I thought about the right,

01:19:30.920 but just, I can't sit and just not notice stuff,

01:19:34.680 which people seem to want to do

01:19:36.100 because it's all about my team or your team.

01:19:39.080 But yeah, there's some crazy stuff, you know,

01:19:41.140 when we're cheering for the Intifada, 0.67

01:19:43.660 I got to cut, I'm out.

01:19:46.080 I remember Bill Maher, 2019, mocking Dennis Prager on his show

01:19:52.900 because he was talking about menstruation, that men can't menstruate.

01:19:58.340 And Bill Maher had never paid attention to it.

01:20:01.600 And this is a big problem with our friends.

01:20:03.800 I'm going to address something that my sister brought up to me.

01:20:06.340 And she's like, Glenn, I'm getting hammered by this new thing.

01:20:09.000 And I said, I don't know if that's even true.

01:20:10.980 Let me check on it.

01:20:11.760 people read their own sources. And then when you put perspective with it or you correct it,

01:20:20.640 they stop listening. You can't do that. You are either pursuing the truth or you might as well

01:20:30.100 sit in the stands because you're cheering for a team. This is not about a team, your team,

01:20:38.380 my team. This is about finding the truth so we can leave our country to our children and they'll

01:20:45.500 have a better opportunity in front of them. Do you want to leave? I know you don't, but do you

01:20:50.980 want to leave this country where Iran has a nuke? That thing's never solid. We're still fighting 0.83

01:21:00.300 wars everywhere. We're broke as all get out. Our dollar is inflating, so everything costs more.

01:21:08.380 Our kids are getting dumber and dumber 0.98

01:21:10.220 because we refuse to address education. 1.00

01:21:13.540 We just keep progressing.

01:21:15.880 We just keep going in the wrong direction

01:21:19.060 without turning around,

01:21:20.320 without anyone, at least half a side,

01:21:23.860 saying, you know what, guys?

01:21:25.460 I've always believed what we're doing,

01:21:27.080 but look at the results.

01:21:28.080 It's not working.

01:21:29.300 So what is it we're doing that isn't working?

01:21:31.460 What the answer is, we have to have more of it.

01:21:34.900 Well, that doesn't make any sense in any world.

01:21:36.840 but she refused to turn around what van jones and and bill maher did i commend them i am so glad

01:21:48.880 and not because hey finally they're recognizing whatever i'm glad because if somebody that has

01:21:56.280 a voice in a platform like them does not start to warn regular democrats these people they don't

01:22:04.560 listen to me they listen to them and if they start to say on regular sources that they're watching

01:22:12.340 all the democrats are watching and you finally have somebody stepping up and going hey this

01:22:17.100 intifada thing is wrong this let's a let's abolish the senate that's communism no if somebody like

01:22:26.620 them don't say it we're lost i commend them and i encourage them to keep it up doesn't mean i agree

01:22:33.120 with everything, it means I encourage them to keep it up. Back in just a second, let me tell

01:22:37.980 you about real estate agents I trust. I don't know about you, but in the real estate game,

01:22:41.520 I'd rather hire somebody who is already a well-known commodity than pick a random name on

01:22:45.700 the internet. So why treat one of the biggest financial decisions of your life any differently?

01:22:50.700 That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust. This is my company. My brother and I run it and

01:22:55.500 we don't want you crossing your fingers hoping you're finding the right person online and they're

01:23:01.220 as good as the reviews say. We vet these agents all over the country. They have proven track

01:23:07.120 records. We started with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall

01:23:11.000 Street Journal, and we learned from them. How do we find more people like you? And that's who we're

01:23:16.520 going to recommend. It doesn't cost you. I don't charge you anything for it. You can hire them or

01:23:20.320 not hire them. I just want you to meet them and see if there's a difference. Realestateagentsitrust.com

01:23:25.180 will show you. You can buy or sell a home even in this tough market. The name says it all.

01:23:29.260 realestateagentsitrust.com. Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.

01:23:47.480 We lock the doors, we install the cameras, but there's another way that your home can be targeted

01:23:51.820 and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property. It is actually called home title

01:23:56.520 fraud. And it's exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents. They file them with

01:24:01.360 the county. They transfer ownership of your home into their name. And then once all that happens,

01:24:06.940 they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under

01:24:11.000 you. The scary part is you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular

01:24:15.700 homeowners insurance doesn't typically protect you from this. And the mortgage company isn't

01:24:19.940 looking for it either. That's why you need home title lock. They monitor your home's title and

01:24:24.860 alert you to any changes that could signal fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact,

01:24:30.840 which is a big problem. Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can

01:24:36.540 get it out. You can knock it out quickly. I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now

01:24:40.520 because I want you to be able to protect your equity. I want you to be able to find out if

01:24:43.960 you're already a victim of this because it's devastating if you get caught up in it.

01:25:22.560 uh welcome to the glenbeck program i want to play one more thing from the dsa democratic

01:25:29.900 socialist uh co-chair listen to this on investments the problem we're facing in our

01:25:35.260 housing system is that we talk about tenants and we say they have to pull put uh pull themselves

01:25:42.040 up by their bootstraps uh they have to be responsible financially but when we look at

01:25:47.000 The landlords, we don't use those same standards.

01:25:51.460 Landlords in New York have been making a 12% return on their investment for, on average.

01:25:56.880 How much should they make?

01:25:57.680 What's fair for the landlord to make if you don't like 12?

01:26:00.940 They're complaining that 12 is not enough.

01:26:03.220 And we don't think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment.

01:26:09.120 That's why we've implemented—

01:26:10.360 No one should have a right to a double-digit return on their investment.

01:26:13.740 No one has a right.

01:26:14.980 What are you talking about?

01:26:15.880 No one's in that. That's not in the Constitution. But we what we see is that when we implement a rent freeze, right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, among other things.

01:26:26.980 Have you read the Bill of Rights? Just because it's not listed.

01:26:32.620 I think it's the Ninth Amendment. Just because it's not written down doesn't mean you have a right.

01:26:37.060 Means these are the things that stop the government, not you. You have rights.

01:26:41.320 keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can

01:26:47.380 you know put you or them in danger it means being prepared for all the situations you know

01:26:52.260 even those situations where deadly force is not needed in fact it's a real problem

01:26:56.720 there are more of those than you think and if you're a gun owner it's unfortunately easy to

01:27:01.320 think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs but you never pull a gun unless you're

01:27:04.760 prepared to kill somebody and i'm i'm not in all situations you know but they can go bad fast there

01:27:11.220 is a tool for this. It's the Berna Launcher.

01:28:36.080 hello america welcome to the glenbeck program live from the rocky mountain west and the standing

01:28:46.160 rock ranch we're glad you're listening um my sister uh came over we were watching the um uh

01:28:53.020 watching the world cup yesterday which really two hours and no score i i i mean

01:29:00.660 i thought that baseball could be slow there's nothing on soccer um anyway uh so we're watching

01:29:11.460 soccer and my sister gets a note look at what donald trump has done now waiting to hear this

01:29:18.400 and so she said is this true and i said i don't know i'll look it up so i did my homework on it

01:29:23.420 i want to shake because it's going around and i want to show you because this one is really

01:29:27.960 important on how to look at things okay we'll do that in 60 seconds first rough greens you and your

01:29:34.860 dog have a deal you don't eat his food and he doesn't eat yours the other day you poured kibble

01:29:40.300 and he looked at you like really again and he just stared at it like you've been serving him a bowl of

01:29:44.380 packing peanuts and you know what he's kind of right really most dog food isn't isn't very good

01:29:50.740 you know it's nutritionally uh incomplete and when you realize just how few real nutrients are left

01:29:57.300 after this heavy processing, let's just say if I were your dog, I wouldn't have looked at you.

01:30:02.220 I probably would have eaten you by now. Rough greens. It's not a dog food. It is a nutritional

01:30:06.900 supplement that you sprinkle on their food, full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics,

01:30:11.680 all your stuff that your dog actually needs, and they're not getting from kibble. The difference,

01:30:16.580 night and day, more energy, healthier coat, better digestion, an attitude that says thanks for

01:30:21.760 figuring this out, human. You're supposed to be smarter than I am. Join the thousands of happy

01:30:26.240 dog owners who have already made rough greens part of their daily lives just go to rough greens

01:30:30.480 spell it like dogs spell it because you are smarter than them r-u-f-f-9-0.com it's their

01:30:38.320 rough greens 90 program 90 days to better health for your dog r-u-f-f-90.com 9-0.com

01:30:46.440 rough greens makes any dog food better okay so my sister says to me where'd you read this and

01:30:52.440 i'm getting this from my family all the time i don't know why i am the one that i'm i'm the

01:30:56.820 keeper of all the secrets um but i end up doing what they do i just start doing my homework on

01:31:03.780 i just start looking at different sources and the thing was oh my gosh the president of the united

01:31:09.620 states intends to bill canada for the smoke of their fires he's putting a tariff on the smoke

01:31:19.020 for the canadian fires it's willful negligence so he says it's cost the united states billions

01:31:24.640 of dollars cost of the pollution has to be added to the tariffs canada is already paying

01:31:28.340 okay so everybody's really upset how dare you you you can't put a tariff on smoke

01:31:34.840 wait i thought we could do that with co2 i i thought that was the whole point of the green

01:31:41.260 planet thing if we're doing so much maybe we should be penalized for it isn't that the same

01:31:45.300 thing. Oh boy. Okay. This is not what's happening. That's what he said. He did say that. That's not

01:31:53.440 what is happening. Here's what's happening. 1st of July, six years to the day after it took

01:31:59.140 effect, the United States trade representative announced that we're not going to renew the

01:32:04.520 major, you know, it's the USMCA. That is the Canadian Mexican US trade agreement. Okay.

01:32:11.420 and we're not going to renew it in its current form now that didn't blow up the deal it triggered

01:32:18.440 an annual review process a decade of renegotiation with an administration signaling it may go to

01:32:26.900 track separate bilateral bilateral agreements with china and mexico now everybody's upset about this

01:32:32.940 how can he do that how can he do well easy he's the president of the united states he wants the

01:32:37.140 best deal for the united states and if it means we do one deal with canada and mexico we do one

01:32:41.660 deal if we get a better deal by doing them separately i mean wouldn't you want that so

01:32:46.100 the next round with mexico opens up on july 20th and on the canadian side of the table

01:32:51.000 the asks are already on the record ottawa wants relief on sectorial tariffs covering steel

01:32:57.620 aluminum uh autos and lumber okay well he'd like some things too that's the room the actual room

01:33:08.040 The smoke is just that.

01:33:10.780 It's smoke.

01:33:11.540 It's part of the negotiation.

01:33:13.360 The smoke is the opening position.

01:33:16.840 An unanswerable grievance dropped on the table two weeks before we get serious at the negotiating table.

01:33:24.220 In a summer when 100 million Americans can taste it in the back of their throat,

01:33:29.860 they're not expecting to collect a smoke tariff.

01:33:34.400 This is an opening position.

01:33:36.320 Have you ever negotiated before?

01:33:38.120 Yes, and so have your friends, so they know.

01:33:41.820 Let me tell you the last American who tried this on Canada,

01:33:45.160 and it was outrageous, except nobody said it was outrageous,

01:33:48.960 except the Canadians.

01:33:51.260 It was April 1782, Benjamin Franklin.

01:33:54.140 He was 76 years old.

01:33:55.720 He sits down in Paris with a Scottish merchant named Richard Oswald.

01:34:00.540 Richard Oswald was sent by the British crown to find out

01:34:03.540 what it's going to take to end the British-American War, okay, and the, you know, the

01:34:09.940 Revolutionary War. Franklin hands him a list. Franklin, however, hands him a list. He does

01:34:15.140 something really, really smart, okay? He split it into two articles he calls necessary and articles

01:34:22.040 he says advisable. Necessary. Independence. British troops out. Boundaries settled. And

01:34:30.920 American fishing rights on the grand banks of Newfoundland, advisable, indemnity for 0.90

01:34:38.020 the American towns the British had burned, an acknowledgment from Parliament that they 0.78

01:34:43.400 had been wrong, and just give us Canada. 0.96

01:34:49.600 Just hand it over.

01:34:50.420 We want all of Canada, okay?

01:34:52.900 And Franklin sat there with a straight face and said, there's not going to be any permanent

01:34:57.140 peace unless you give us Canada.

01:34:58.480 now britain is like wait wait wait wait wait that was never on the table you can't just take canada

01:35:05.800 well yeah we can we want canada too we're gonna have canada what was benjamin franklin doing

01:35:12.840 what was he doing okay he knew perfectly well they were not going to hand over canada it wasn't

01:35:21.860 going to happen okay not going to give it to him he knew it when he wrote it down watch what the

01:35:28.800 ask did lord shelburne read the list and went to work trying to get the advisable column done

01:35:36.860 writing to oswald he had hoped the articles called advisable would be dropped and the necessary ones

01:35:43.980 would be retained as the ground of discussion because he's like we can't give him canada it's

01:35:49.120 got to get off the table so what did he do he conceded everything in the necessary column

01:35:55.600 if franklin would have come with a necessary they would have negotiated the necessary

01:36:00.380 instead he said these are absolutely no-brainer these all have to be done oh and give us canada

01:36:06.720 so what did they do give them all the necessary stuff get them off of canada

01:36:12.960 that treaty gave the united states every acre east of the mississippi north of florida south

01:36:19.580 of canada the fishing grounds off the canadian coast oswald was hammered at home forgiving the

01:36:25.860 americans too much and resigned okay franklin asked for canada franklin got everything except

01:36:32.880 canada that's not a coincidence that's called a technique in negotiation it's the oldest technique

01:36:42.040 older than the country, older even than Ben Franklin and Donald Trump, okay? It was used by

01:36:49.200 the man who's now on our $100 bill. So let me ask you a question that nobody is asking. Everybody's

01:36:55.000 outraged, but nobody wants to actually think. Let's just think this through. He's not putting

01:37:00.900 a tariff on the smoke. He's two weeks away from sitting down negotiating with Canada. He wants a

01:37:06.920 great deal with Canada. So he's like, he could have said, you know, Ben Franklin said, give me

01:37:12.220 Canada. Why not? I'm going to take Canada. We want Canada as part of the deal. He didn't. He said,

01:37:17.360 I'm going to tear off your smoke. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Let me ask you, if your real 1.00

01:37:24.300 estate agent walked into a negotiation and opened at a number that made the other side laugh out

01:37:29.560 loud, would you fire him? Or would you understand that he opened there so when the laughing stopped,

01:37:36.100 The number that got serious was a number that was good for you.

01:37:40.340 Let's say you're going to buy a house and it's, you know, a million dollars.

01:37:45.260 Your real estate agent walks in and says, and can keep them at the table and says, yeah, my client's only going to pay $250,000 for the house.

01:37:53.560 Do you want him to start at $950,000?

01:37:58.100 Or do you want him to start at $250,000?

01:38:00.180 Something he still won't leave the table because he needs to sell the house.

01:38:03.600 would you rather have him open at 250 so he's thinking immediately thinking oh crap how am i

01:38:10.460 going to get him to 900 000 instead of opening with 950 000 and he's thinking well i'm going

01:38:16.600 to say it's 2 million so we get to 1.5 no if you're a union you're let's say you're a member

01:38:23.060 of the union contract time your union comes in and puts a list down on the table that the management

01:38:30.560 their lawyers go oh this is you want a 12 percent raise you want full pension

01:38:36.140 you you want full covered health care and you want your pension goes to your children until

01:38:44.540 until it's their great grandchildren you're still being paid for the work you did that's crazy

01:38:49.560 would you say my union is terrible

01:38:54.780 you're not going to get all those things but let's say you wanted the 12 percent

01:39:01.800 and you needed that but he asked for all of these crazy things i'll bet you you're going to get your

01:39:06.640 12 percent because they will negotiate all of the crazy things away that's how bargaining works

01:39:14.220 okay for the guy in the hard hat for the guy in the corner office that's how it works

01:39:19.360 for 40 years.

01:39:21.340 Let me tell you a story about Lucille Ball

01:39:24.100 and Ricky Ricardo, Desi Arnaz.

01:39:29.920 They're negotiating.

01:39:31.640 All they want, all they want

01:39:34.080 are the rights to the television.

01:39:36.400 Nobody, there was no such thing as a rerun.

01:39:39.280 Desi Arnaz thought this thing,

01:39:41.220 we can run this in reruns.

01:39:42.340 I want rights to the show after the first play.

01:39:46.020 We have the rights, not CBS, we get them.

01:39:48.720 and we want to move to LA.

01:39:51.840 That's all they wanted, okay?

01:39:54.600 Instead, he goes in and he said,

01:39:57.740 we want double the salary.

01:40:00.160 We want the rights to the TV show

01:40:02.540 and we want to move to California

01:40:04.760 and we want something called a three-camera shoot

01:40:07.020 because we're not going to spend days and days filming it, okay?

01:40:11.240 But he asked for double,

01:40:13.460 it was like crazy amounts of money,

01:40:15.120 double the amount of salary.

01:40:16.940 They leave.

01:40:17.740 The guy at CBS says, absolutely not.

01:40:20.780 We're not negotiating at all.

01:40:22.240 They walk out.

01:40:23.600 The number two guy at the negotiation table for CBS said, we can't lose them.

01:40:29.220 He's like, we're not going to lose them.

01:40:30.560 We're going to give them their move to California.

01:40:33.060 It will cost us nothing.

01:40:34.520 We'll give them the rights.

01:40:35.780 Who the hell cares if they have the rights to the show?

01:40:39.400 We get the first run.

01:40:40.580 Nobody's going to run it a second time.

01:40:42.720 And give them their three-camera shoot.

01:40:44.320 But we're not negotiating on the salary.

01:40:47.740 When Lucy walked out, she looked at Ricky and she said, why did you ask for the salary?

01:40:52.840 They're never going to give that.

01:40:53.820 That's going to blow up the whole deal.

01:40:55.340 He said, Lucy, they're not going to give us the salary.

01:40:58.460 They're going to give us everything else because they'll concentrate on the salary.

01:41:02.900 That's what he's doing.

01:41:04.620 For 40 years, American trade agreements were negotiated by people who opened at reasonable.

01:41:11.540 Okay?

01:41:12.320 Because they wanted the applause to come from the other side of the table, from the summit,

01:41:16.300 from the communique from the editorial page you know at some foreign capital they want the

01:41:21.540 canadians to like him they don't care they don't care you know you you we have lost our furniture

01:41:29.020 plants and our steel towns and the tool and die shops we were told that's the price of being a

01:41:34.380 grown-up nation no we finally have a president who opens up where ben franklin opened up loud

01:41:42.020 Maximum.

01:41:42.920 Occasionally absolutely ridiculous, but deliberate. 0.90

01:41:48.560 And how many Americans are now saying, I'm embarrassed by that?

01:41:51.880 Embarrassed by whom exactly?

01:41:53.720 By the only man in generations who has walked into a room and asked for too much on your behalf?

01:42:01.120 Canada is our neighbor.

01:42:02.240 It's our friend.

01:42:02.760 It's our ally.

01:42:03.880 They'll still be our friend and our ally when all of this is done.

01:42:07.440 The forests are going to burn again next summer.

01:42:09.800 and the summer after that

01:42:10.860 and the smoke is going to come south

01:42:12.220 and no tariff on earth is going to change that.

01:42:15.300 But when the paper is finally signed,

01:42:18.240 check the fisheries,

01:42:19.760 check the steel,

01:42:38.780 You.

01:42:39.800 Franklin knew it.

01:42:41.340 He just labeled the other side advisable.

01:42:44.540 Why is Franklin celebrated and this president doing exactly the same thing?

01:42:48.740 For the first time in decades, a president actually being a tough negotiator on your behalf,

01:42:55.340 why are you now treating him like he's our enemy?

01:43:00.520 You wouldn't do that in anything else. 0.99

01:43:14.500 let him negotiate and then when we get a victory what do you say we celebrate hey it's good for

01:43:23.680 the american people he's also smart enough to know it has to be good for both sides if it's

01:43:29.440 bad for canada and good for us it's not a good deal it has to be good for them as well

01:43:36.240 But let's go in saying, yeah, we don't care about that.

01:43:41.940 We want it all good for us.

01:43:43.540 And then negotiate to where they go, oh, we didn't think we were going to get a good deal out of it.

01:43:48.120 We both got a good deal.

01:43:49.540 Don't like how much we gave them, but we gave it to them, and we got a good deal.

01:43:55.180 Celebrate that. 0.99

01:43:56.840 It's a mental illness. 1.00

01:44:55.940 factor from relieffactor.com 10 seconds station id

01:44:59.960 i want to talk to you about um chasing embers if you haven't i was just with the people from tp usa

01:45:20.600 from all of the colleges here in, I think it was Idaho and Utah.

01:45:27.120 It may have just been Utah.

01:45:28.140 There's a lot of people here.

01:45:30.100 And they're just on fire.

01:45:31.840 These kids, man, they are on fire.

01:45:33.940 I have such hope for the future because I meet the 20-somethings.

01:45:39.580 And they are dedicated.

01:45:42.720 They're super smart.

01:45:44.620 I mean, you know, I'm going over constitutional stuff and, you know,

01:45:49.700 history stuff, and they knew it. They knew it. I was like, you know all this stuff, don't you?

01:45:55.220 And they're like, yeah, yeah, we study. I'm like, oh, thank God. I have such hope, such hope.

01:46:01.680 But we were talking about different books, and they were talking about, you know, what are the

01:46:04.980 books that are must-reads? And I said, you know, for anybody who is looking to help people get

01:46:13.680 the basics, there's a new young adult book out that we have now as an audiobook. It's called

01:46:18.380 Chasing Embers. It was a bestseller a couple of years ago. We've re-released it as an audio book.

01:46:23.800 And I will tell you, the people involved, and I don't want to get into specifics, I'll just say

01:46:26.820 the people involved on the audio side, all of them said, they were all from California, they all said,

01:46:32.500 we don't want our name attached to any of this. We'll do the work. We don't want our name attached

01:46:35.800 to any of this. At the end of the book, they all came one by one and said, put our names with this.

01:46:42.680 Because it's not what you think of as a conservative book. It's not some brainwashing

01:46:47.860 thing it's a really good dystopian thriller for young adults that help them get curious about

01:46:54.400 history um and you'll love it it's a six book series this is the first one on audiobook uh so

01:47:01.600 check it out now wherever you get your audiobooks or you can get it um i think you get a glenbeck.com

01:47:06.980 slash torch is that right or no is it just just uh i just itunes and audible right if you go to

01:47:14.080 glennbeck.com we do link to where you can purchase chasing embers for yourself and it is audible

01:47:19.860 wherever you get your books yeah and if you want to listen to the first couple of chapters see if

01:47:24.200 you like it before you buy it um you can get that at torch too um and just listen to it but it is

01:47:29.660 it's really really good it's not going to unlock the you know secrets to the universe but it it

01:47:35.820 will help young adults learn to think be curious that is the one thing that i think

01:47:41.540 so many people have lost curiosity. And it's only going to get worse with chat GPT and all of this

01:47:50.800 AI stuff, because the ones who are really going to become slaves are going to look for an answer,

01:47:57.460 just like we do on Google now. Do you remember when we used to have to work for things? Oh,

01:48:00.900 what was that guy's name? And that TV show from the seventies, it had the car and the girl in

01:48:06.580 the short shorts, and you couldn't remember. And everybody worked as a team. Now you just Google

01:48:10.840 it. Now you just, here's what it is. And it gives you all the information. And so we put down our

01:48:15.180 thinking. The problem with AI is that you'll go and you'll ask it a question and it will form

01:48:22.940 your opinion for you. And so there's no curiosity. There's no thinking it through. There's no

01:48:29.000 questioning. And that's really dangerous. This will help your kids question, why? Why is this

01:48:36.340 important? Why is history important? Why is the way I behave important? And please check it out.

01:48:43.340 I think you're really going to love it. Share it with your kids, your grandkids. Adults love it as

01:48:47.740 well. It's Chasing Embers and it is available. It's a great audio book. It's available wherever

01:48:54.040 you get your audio books. Download it now. All right. More in just a minute.

01:49:06.340 When we open our hearts and we pray, we're not just expressing our hopes,

01:49:22.180 we're asking the creator of the universe to move, move on us.

01:49:26.920 It doesn't mean that every prayer is answered the way we expect,

01:49:30.240 but scripture is filled with examples of God working through the prayers of his people.

01:49:34.460 And sometimes prayer is also what changes us, giving us the strength to stand firm when the world around us is shaking.

01:49:41.400 I will tell you, if you don't have a strong relationship with the Spirit, you don't have a strong relationship with prayer, you are not going to survive the next 25 years.

01:49:49.420 It will be too hard.

01:49:50.580 You will not know where to turn for truth.

01:49:53.760 Right now, in the Middle East, Hezbollah continues to attack Jews. 0.87

01:50:00.220 The world is turning against the Jews, as they always do. 0.99

01:50:03.060 They're the canary in the coal nine. 1.00

01:50:05.800 But we would ask you to pray.

01:50:08.280 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews would ask you to pray every day.

01:50:12.920 Prayer, prayer, please.

01:50:17.320 Protect the Jewish people. 0.99

01:50:19.280 Protect our own selves, our own lifestyles, and our own beliefs.

01:50:25.700 Give us strength to stand in hard times and bring us peace, Lord, please.

01:50:30.400 Go to PrayIFCJ.org.

01:50:32.460 prayifcj.org

01:50:58.480 So I was just in California for a week

01:51:00.740 and I'm going to share something

01:51:03.380 because I just saw a story

01:51:04.500 that Walmart in California

01:51:06.040 is now putting anti-theft tags on hamburgers.

01:51:09.360 Basically, they're putting them in,

01:51:10.640 remember the old CD cases

01:51:11.860 so you could never open?

01:51:13.860 They're putting hamburger in that

01:51:15.760 and then it's got a tag in it

01:51:17.160 so you can't steal hamburger.

01:51:18.660 I don't know who's putting, you know,

01:51:20.660 a pound of hamburger in their pants,

01:51:22.440 but God bless them if they try.

01:51:24.860 I don't want the hamburger back, okay?

01:51:26.740 um so they're putting they're putting these things now into these lock boxes

01:51:32.260 not razor blades not iphones ground beef ground beef

01:51:37.500 i was just in a target in la shopping with my daughter

01:51:43.100 don't ever guys don't just say you'll stay in the car don't ever go into a target

01:51:48.500 with a woman don't ever do you'll never get out and you will never understand anything that's going

01:51:53.600 on. But so I'm in there and I had to get, I had to, I left my toothbrush. I had to get toothbrush 1.00

01:52:00.460 and toothpaste. And I don't mean like a fancy tooth. I just like, I want one crass, you know,

01:52:05.100 just a little stupid, I don't care, a stick with some bristles on it. That's all I want. 0.99

01:52:09.900 It's behind glass. And I had to push this button and help will arrive. And you're like,

01:52:15.340 you've got to be kidding me. So you sit there and you're treated like a criminal. You're treated

01:52:21.080 like a criminal. They're just expecting

01:52:22.880 everybody to steal. Instead of dealing

01:52:25.040 with the theft, they just make

01:52:27.020 everybody sit there and pay

01:52:28.940 the price, okay? And nobody,

01:52:31.020 there's no sign in the store, there's

01:52:32.660 no announcement, no manager on the intercom

01:52:35.080 says, you know, we've decided that

01:52:36.940 we just can't trust any of the people who shop here.

01:52:40.200 They just

01:52:41.220 do it. And so they put a hard plastic

01:52:42.840 clamshell around your dinner, or

01:52:45.060 some kid with a key

01:52:46.480 that'll let you in, you know, when

01:52:48.940 he gets to you.

01:52:51.080 that's a verdict that has been handed down

01:52:56.220 onto every person in that store.

01:52:59.000 The widow on a fixed income.

01:53:01.620 The dad buying for a...

01:53:02.980 The guy who will clearly pay for a frickin' toothbrush. 0.95

01:53:08.260 I'm treated like a criminal.

01:53:10.380 Somebody who's shopped there for 11 years,

01:53:12.360 never taken a grape.

01:53:14.300 Not anyone have been told they were on trial.

01:53:18.140 Now, go across the country to the Olive Garden,

01:53:20.460 which has somehow become the most honest institution in American life this week,

01:53:25.800 the Olive Garden.

01:53:27.300 They want your ID before they hand over the endless pasta pass.

01:53:35.540 And nobody's insulted.

01:53:37.980 Nobody's humiliated. 1.00

01:53:39.560 There's no protest that black people just can't have the endless pasta pass 0.95

01:53:44.840 because they don't have ID. 0.96

01:53:46.480 you know the rule's been written down and it's applied to everybody who walks through the door

01:53:52.840 how is it olive garden makes more sense than our country a rule spoken out loud is not an

01:54:01.920 accusation it's an invitation to belong to something and that's the difference between

01:54:07.280 the pasta and the beef one is a rule the other is a resentment and once you see it you can't

01:54:14.800 see it because the whole country is doing all of this in new york the mayor just made permanent

01:54:20.860 a program that hands out cash for used needles okay whatever you think of the policy you know

01:54:29.620 let's think about what nobody's gonna is willing to say out loud nobody nobody stands at the window

01:54:35.560 and says uh we've just concluded that nobody's gonna get any better and the best we can do is

01:54:43.300 pay you a little for the evidence okay we've just counted everybody out there's no way to fix any of

01:54:49.020 these problems okay that's the operating rule here and it's running everywhere on human beings

01:54:55.100 everywhere in the united states and it'll never once be spoken in a sentence with a subject and

01:55:00.460 a verb never are they going to say that out loud hey we're not going to be able to fix this problem

01:55:04.820 so we're just going to give you cash you know to see it maybe maybe you'll be a little better if

01:55:09.820 we give you cash for the needle hey we're never going to be able to fix the problem with people

01:55:13.620 putting hamburger in their pants i don't know it was never a problem when i was growing up

01:55:17.180 and anybody who put hamburger in their pants were somebody who would be like stay away from

01:55:22.060 uncle leo he's put hamburger in his pants before okay it was a different problem i think then

01:55:27.900 there's the democratic socialist podcaster who actually said on a podcast that she wouldn't

01:55:33.700 much care if her favorite

01:55:35.740 politicians went home at night

01:55:37.680 and were secret

01:55:39.400 Nazis

01:55:40.460 as long as they voted the right 0.54

01:55:43.740 way.

01:55:46.660 I want you to think

01:55:47.800 about that for a second.

01:55:49.880 We've now come to a place 0.83

01:55:51.640 where Nazi doesn't

01:55:53.640 mean anything. 0.60

01:55:55.700 As long as you vote my way, 0.71

01:55:57.620 I don't care if you wear a swastika.

01:56:03.700 you know it's really sad she's the second most honest person in this little conversation we're 0.75

01:56:11.240 having right behind olive garden because at least she said her rule out loud it's a monstrous rule

01:56:17.880 character doesn't count you know what i don't really care about character i don't really care 0.95

01:56:22.060 if you're a nazi a rapist or whatever you're gonna vote for the ones that i want to vote 0.90

01:56:26.460 who I want you to vote for. 1.00

01:56:28.740 She says it into a microphone.

01:56:32.540 Wow, on tape.

01:56:34.680 Imagine having that.

01:56:35.640 I've said a lot of things

01:56:36.840 into my good friend the microphone here.

01:56:39.380 Some of it I regret,

01:56:40.700 but I've never said,

01:56:41.680 you know what,

01:56:42.040 I don't really care if you're a Nazi. 0.75

01:56:45.920 Someday that might come back to haunt you. 0.90

01:56:47.840 Anyway,

01:56:49.180 the thing is you can't argue

01:56:51.900 with a plastic box on a package of beef

01:56:53.840 because there's nobody there to argue with.

01:56:55.680 You can't say, can you stop treating me like a criminal?

01:56:58.800 How about we go after the criminals instead of treating me like I'm a criminal?

01:57:03.140 Let me take you back because we've been here before.

01:57:06.280 You know what, Ricky?

01:57:07.360 I'm going to start a segment every day.

01:57:09.980 We've been here before because I look at the news and I'm like, we've been here before.

01:57:15.400 Wisconsin, 1890.

01:57:18.660 There's a problem.

01:57:20.900 The same problem we're dealing with, but they solved it.

01:57:23.640 Back then, a dairy farmer was paid by the gallon.

01:57:27.580 So you bring in a gallon of milk, you get paid by the gallon, okay?

01:57:30.920 Which meant the fastest way to make money in a dairy was, well, to add water.

01:57:39.260 Just add water.

01:57:40.280 And everybody knew it.

01:57:41.340 But nobody could prove it.

01:57:42.940 They were just watering.

01:57:44.360 Not everybody was.

01:57:46.660 Creamery suspected.

01:57:48.400 Farmers accused each other at church.

01:57:50.360 but the honest man whose cows gave milk and so rich you made butter you'd remember the whole

01:57:57.980 your whole life you remember that butter because i've had that experience before you remember how

01:58:02.320 good that butter was they got paid exactly what everybody else was paid that was ripping everybody

01:58:07.080 off so if you're a farmer back then you had two choices quit or start watering it down because

01:58:14.160 you can't keep up, okay? That's what the unspoken standard does. It doesn't punish the liar.

01:58:22.480 It punishes the honest man and then recruits him. So what did they do? Well, let me tell you about

01:58:33.520 a chemist. He was in the University of Wisconsin. His name was Stephen Babcock. 1890, he sees this

01:58:40.720 problem. He's from Wisconsin. What do they talk about other than milk, cream, and butter? Probably

01:58:45.580 still today. In 1890, he builds this test. Little glass bottle, skinny graduated neck, and some

01:58:52.480 sulfuric acid, and then you spin it in a centrifuge. And the fat separates and rises into the neck.

01:59:00.000 Then you read the numbers off the side. It takes minutes, costs pennies, okay? Any creamery in

01:59:06.980 America could run it. And the farmer standing there would go, oh, crap, they're going to find 0.94

01:59:11.600 out I have a lot of water in this. Overnight, the invisible crime became visible. Not a suspicion, 0.93

01:59:19.900 but a number on the glass in front of both the honest man and the dishonest man.

01:59:25.380 Now, here's what Babcock did. He could have made a lot of money on this. I mean,

01:59:30.260 companies came at him with fortunes. He turned them down and he said, I'm not going to patent

01:59:34.680 this. I think everybody, we need one standard, okay? And because the standard of that one man,

01:59:43.000 we now have one standard. It's leverage. Now, here's the whole argument on this.

01:59:50.340 The watering stopped because there wasn't a point. The stealing stopped. The watering down of the

01:59:58.660 milk stopped. The honest farmer finally got paid more than the cheat for the very first time.

02:00:04.180 Go ahead, water down your milk.

02:00:06.040 You're not going to get paid the same.

02:00:08.240 And then something that nobody planned happened.

02:00:12.260 The farmers started breeding for butterfat

02:00:15.180 because they were chasing that big fat number up at the top.

02:00:21.380 Babcock, everybody in Wisconsin should have a

02:00:24.960 we owe Babcock for our state.

02:00:29.040 Wisconsin, because of what he did,

02:00:31.020 went from a middling farm state

02:00:33.180 to America's dairy land

02:00:34.540 because the butter just got better and better

02:00:37.160 and the cheese got better and better

02:00:38.740 and the price came down.

02:00:40.560 One honest test said out loud applied to everyone

02:00:45.300 and an entire state got richer, we got fatter,

02:00:49.820 but everybody became more honest at the same time.

02:00:53.740 So here's what today's news I think is teaching us

02:00:56.780 and it's the cheapest lesson we'll ever get.

02:00:59.740 Every place in your life

02:01:01.360 where the standard has gone unspoken is quietly rotting.

02:01:07.020 The employee, you know, nobody has told.

02:01:11.480 The kid who keeps getting a pass and can't figure out

02:01:13.900 why the mood in the house is so cold.

02:01:16.080 The marriage where the rule changed four years ago

02:01:18.440 and was never announced.

02:01:20.020 The church that lowered the bar without telling anybody.

02:01:24.220 We stopped saying the standard out loud

02:01:27.300 because it's judgmental.

02:01:29.660 You know what?

02:01:30.240 We are not supposed to judge people's souls, but we are supposed to have judgment.

02:01:36.540 We are supposed to say, that's bad, that's good. 0.61

02:01:39.980 Not, you're going to hell.

02:01:42.180 That's bad, that's good.

02:01:44.860 That's healthy for a society.

02:01:46.900 If you don't do that, they lock up your meat. 0.99

02:01:49.700 They lock up your freaking toothbrush. 0.92

02:01:52.480 And we don't have good butterfat, and that makes me sad, okay? 0.99

02:01:57.880 This is judgment without mercy.

02:02:00.240 judgment the other person never has to answer for.

02:02:07.020 So, what's still in the news 136 years later after Babcock?

02:02:13.060 Ice cream is still under $6 a half gallon,

02:02:16.060 the cheapest in years.

02:02:18.940 Nobody passed a law.

02:02:20.060 Nobody held a summit.

02:02:21.980 Dairy farmers named the one thing they wanted.

02:02:24.940 Butterfat, measurable, declared out loud.

02:02:27.620 Everybody working toward the same exact number, and they went out and they got it.

02:02:33.760 And they're still running, by the way, Babcock's test.

02:02:37.120 The number he gave away for free is still making your food better and cheaper this month.

02:02:43.920 Standard spoken, standard met.

02:02:46.500 Price is down.

02:02:47.580 That's the whole miracle.

02:02:50.480 So try this this week.

02:02:52.520 Pick one place, one place where you've been, where they're managing people with locks instead of telling them the truth.

02:03:01.700 Say the rule out loud.

02:03:03.800 Go up to them and say, I'm tired of being treated like a criminal.

02:03:06.700 I'm not a criminal.

02:03:07.540 I've been shopping here forever, and I've never stolen as much as a grape, nor would I.

02:03:13.840 And I feel like I'm being treated.

02:03:15.720 And they're going to say to you, well, we can't trust.

02:03:17.680 Well, you know what?

02:03:18.940 Then fix that problem.

02:03:20.880 But I'm not shopping here.

02:03:22.520 Being treated like I'm living in some dystopian movie.

02:03:28.580 No, I'm not going to wait for somebody to unlock the toothbrushes.

02:03:32.360 I'm not going to do it.

02:03:33.860 There's a problem.

02:03:34.620 And the problem is you've just gone along with a rule in your town where your town has decided we're not going to arrest people under $1,000 of theft.

02:03:45.140 Sorry, it's theft.

02:03:46.780 It's theft.

02:03:47.600 I'm not a thief.

02:03:48.800 I will shop at a place that doesn't treat everyone like a thief except the thieves.

02:03:58.880 If you can get those little things changed like that, you will be shocked at how fast people will rise to a standard they're finally allowed to see.

02:06:26.320 The gap between what a CEO makes

02:06:29.440 She has a talking point prepared.

02:06:35.420 What is the actual consequence?

02:06:36.860 Well, it doesn't matter if people are doing well.

02:06:54.180 I don't know.

02:06:54.960 Because you don't know anything.

02:06:55.640 I haven't met anyone who's making the federal minimum wage.

02:06:57.500 No, it's just knowing facts about a country.

02:07:00.340 But I've met people across.

02:07:01.440 No, it doesn't matter who you've met, lady.

02:07:04.660 That's not what changes statistics.
